Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 554 Swamp

  The three have walked a long distance.

   "But I remember that not long after the cry of the beast last night, you came to our place," Xiaolan asked, "Is there such a long distance?"

"Indeed, it didn't take long for me to find the body of the beast last night, and I smelled your scent," Baomu shook his head, "I don't know what's going on, but I was in this landscape last night. The corpse found on the road, and there is indeed that kind of smell here... Maybe I found the wrong way and took you around? But I remember this is the direction..."

  The reaction of the Son of Light also proved Baomu's words.

  The poor little guy did not know when he got out of the jacket in front of him. A small black head looked at the gray and white stone in the distance, his eyes confused and fragile.

"It didn't find its mother's body last night, it must be because of this," Xiaolan vaguely understood, "The topography of this world has changed. It can't find its mother's original position, so it can only find it by following the smell. The mother-scented coat closer to it."

  Baomu squinted his eyes with distress, and held the Son of Light in his arms tighter.

  The three of them walked forward for a while, but Baomu frowned and stopped.

   "I can't smell it anymore."

  This is a big deal.

   "What's the matter?" Xiaolan panicked for a moment, "What do you mean? Brother Baomu, you have lost your sense of smell?"

   "No, that's not..." Baomu waved his hand, "It's just that I can't tell the source of the smell. It seems to be scattered here, there is no specific location..."

  Xiaolan's mind sketched a terrible picture of the poor Son of Light’s mother being frustrated and ashes, and pieces of meat floating in the air, "No way..."

  That’s it for yourself, but you can’t let the little son of light see that picture.

  "Would you like it to find it?" Ah Zhen pointed to the Son of Light and suggested.

  Baomu squatted down and put the little son of light on the ground.

  The little guy stepped obediently to the hard light gray stone ground, raised his head and glanced at the three of them quietly, then looked away and looked into the distance.

  The three people waited quietly.

  However, after a few seconds, the little guy fell on the ground.

   Xiaolan squatted next to the Child of Light and looked at his dark eyes like glass balls.

  The empty stone ground is reflected in its eyes, as if reflected in a lake.

  "Can't it smell?" Baomu sighed softly.

   "It turns out..." Ah Zhen murmured, propping his chin with his right hand, "That's what I mean..."

  Xiaolan and Baomu looked at him.

   "Actually, I should also know about the situation of the Son of Light after his death," Ah Zhen explained, "but the information I received here is only one sentence-return to the light domain."

   "Return to the light domain?"

  A Zhen nodded, "I think...The Son of Light after death should be like now, become..."

  He pointed to the sun shining brilliantly on this rocky ground, which was also the end of the sight of the little child of light.

   "It became light."

  Light filled the corners of the world and sprinkled on them.

  The Son of Light slowly closed his eyes and opened them slowly under the sunshine.

  The Son of Light can no longer find his mother, but fortunately, his mother is everywhere now.

  After understanding the truth of the matter, the three of them added a trace of melancholy and a trace of warmth to their chests.

  They all sat next to the Son of Light, enjoying the comfort of the sun comfortably.

  It's been a long time.

  It was a long time until Xiaolan heard Baomu and Ah Zhen's belly cooing with her own ears, and she realized that the two boys had been hungry for a long time.

   "It's not a way to go on like this," Xiaolan saw that the two boys were embarrassed to interrupt the memorial because of this kind of thing, so she stood up first, "We have to find a way to clear the customs...at least find something to eat."

  Baomu reached out to hug the Son of Light, the little guy put out his tongue and gently licked Baomu's fingers for a few times, then obediently retracted back into Baomu's arms.

   "I remember the way we came, there was nothing to eat." Ah Zhen scratched his head.

  Indeed.

   Xiaolan pointed towards the end of the stone ground, "Then let's go forward."

The three of them quickly traversed the entire rocky ground. There was nothing on the bare rocky ground. They only found an overwhelmed firethorn on the edge of the other side of the rocky ground, beside the flame-growing firethorn, there were a few more. Footprints stained with mud.

   is the footprint of Baomu.

  The three of them glanced at each other.

  This may be the place where the mother of the son of light had an accident.

  They hurried across this area and plunged into the damp woodland.

  The soil here is soft, covered with thick and slender grass leaves, revealing a faint dark red.

  "Oh, you have to be careful here," Ah Zhen lifted his foot and looked at the mud on the soles of his shoes. "This is a wet landform. There may be swamps."

  "Swamp?" Xiaolan grabbed Baomu's sleeve anxiously.

  A Zhen leaned to the other side of Baomu, "The three of us have to walk lightly, and we'd better walk side by side, so in case something happens...what's wrong with you?"

  A Zhen stared at Baomu and asked.

  Baomu frowned, and his nose was moving regularly. Xiaolan knew at a glance that Baomu smelled a strange smell.

   "Strange..." Baomu turned his head, collecting smells in all directions, "It smells like food."

  "Food?" Xiaolan and A Zhen said at the same time.

  But their tone of voice is quite different.

   "Where does the smell come from?" Ah Zhen asked hurriedly.

   Baomu raised his hand and pointed to the deep dense forest ahead, "Ahead, right in front of us."

  "What kind of food? Wild fruit or..."

   "Meat," Baomu's eyes sharpened, "It smells like roasted meat."

  The atmosphere suddenly became horrified.

  Roasted meat is not necessarily food...

  A Zhen really lost his appetite in an instant. He looked towards the depths of the woods and then at Baomu, "Then what shall we do?"

  Baomu looked at Xiaolan.

  Why did he become the one who made the decision?

   Xiaolan hesitated for a while, "Uh...uh...Would you like to go forward?"

  She is asking for their opinions.

   "Okay, let's go then."

  But when Xiaolan had made a decision, the two took a step forward resolutely.

   "Hey eh? That's it... What if something dangerous is ahead?" Xiaolan followed in the footsteps of the two.

  The eyes of the two of them floated to themselves at the same time, "It's okay, we will protect you."

  Even the Child of Light nodded solemnly.

  In this case, there is nothing to hesitate.

   Xiaolan felt relieved a lot, grabbing Baomu's clothes corner, step by step towards the direction of the smell.
