Are they living beings?
So, this is the contents of the Dust Valley that became a terror for everyone who crossed this road.
He could only gap over everything around him, as well as praise how diverse the world was. Because, where there is in history something like this can happen. He can see activities that people who do may not know.
It's a kind of activity without consciousness anymore. Why did all this happen?
"There must be something around here that allows them to move, even though they are dead," Xiao said giving direction to Yi Hua.
However Yi Hua was new to this world. He is like a creature that follows the life of others. In that case, she was Yi Hua. Although he refused, but he was carried far enough in all this.
"Is that possible? Aren't they human shells?" yi Hua asked who did not care if anyone saw him talking alone.
Besides, he's sure no one knows what he's doing. All the 'people' in front of Yi Hua were just acting as if they were just something that followed the wind. They move like they did before they died. Then, it always happened until their bodies were crushed into dust.
The point is until they can't do their job like they used to.
"They're not human shells. If it's a human shell, it means someone is controlling it. Either it's bad energy, or magic. But these people are only moving because of something a little 'holy'" Xiao explained.
Yi Hua stared at these 'people' who were on the move as usual. There were no strange movements, like wanting to attack. Just move like they usually do. They are alive, but without a soul. Without feeling, without desire, and just like a scarecrow.
"So they're not dangerous?" yi Hua asked while trying to pull out a basket of fruit that had no fruit anymore.
People who are carrying this basket must have objected before when carrying a basket. It was visible from the way he moved that was a bit bent. And, when Yi Hua picked it up, Yi Hua could see this skull figure still walking in a bent style.
But more than anything, there was no attack.
They were really like a paper stork toy arranged in such a way. Moving over and over again, as if it was their movement. Yi Hua could only pull his smile slowly.
Do I need to complain now? Even now I'm more fortunate to have a good body to move.
Even if he doesn't know who he is. I don't know who he was in his previous life. It's just that it wouldn't be amazing if in reality in his previous life he was just a cow. Well, at least consider it to be a big question mark that he will pursue later.
A very large world. It is not known what is inside.
"For now, I can guarantee that they are not human shells. They could be referred to as walking corpses," Xiao insisted as the final decision.
Yi Hua pointed towards the skeleton sitting inside the carriage that was only a pole. "That figure didn't walk. So they can't be called walking corpses?" yi Hua protest was suddenly critical.
Xiao was inflamed in his heart. "See again, then I'll slap your wits!"
"He said, shy asking can make humans never know about the wonders of the world. Like a cow that can fly for example" Yi Hua argued again.
It was still a while that they discussed, and Xiao was already tired.
"We must name it appropriately," Yi Hua continued.
It's just like you call all girls the same, when you mean just a few guys. So you can't call it all the same. Just like this time. These skeletons don't run all that way. They were as active as they were before they died. Where could they be called the walking corpses of everything!
It makes his name inappropriate.
But Xiao doesn't really care about any of this. "Whatever you are. If you want to put your name down so that it can be remembered in this Valley of Dust. Please!"
Yi Hua nodded while paying attention to the circumstances. As Xiao had said, Yi Hua had to look for the cause of those who could still 'activate' when they were already dead. However, a new thought came again to Yi Hua.
"What if we call it the Dust Valley Skull?" yi Hua said with a proud face.
Lookie! How great I am to give a name.
"You still talking about names, HuaHua?! Now the more important thing is to get out of this Valley of Dust!" cerca Xiao who was tired of being alone with Yi Hua's strangeness.
At first this person looked like a person in general. When given a second life, he looks very chasing to survive. Then, over time after being given a glimpse of his previous life, Yi Hua became fond of finding a way to kill himself.
Has anyone ever said that Yi Hua considered suicide as her noble ideal?
Then, who would have thought that Yi Hua was actually a stubborn person that was hard to deal with!
If Xiao wasn't just shaped like an earring. Or Xiao could claw his way, then he would. "Just be as you are."
He was already exhausted before even thinking about the phenomenon of the walking skeleton .... Wasn't it! What was his name? This Dust Valley Skull!
"Has that lump of dust stopped, Xiao?" asked the astonished Yi Hua.
Because, as Yi Hua recalled, all around them were filled with dust everywhere. Even An had to throw a 'cleaner' into the air, and by then Huan Ran could only get out of the carriage. But now Yi Hua only saw the air around them clean, even though the sun was not so visible.
It looks like ...
"It's not that the dust clumps stop, but we're inside the dust sheath. So, if we get out of this dead circle or village, then we will get dust again" explained Xiao who was familiar with the circumstances.
"So, I jumped right into the village and pierced through the veil of dust, right? Does that mean Mr. An and the others won't find us?" yi Hua asked ascertain while tracing the activities in this dead village.
It is like an activity in general. The difference is that they are just a bunch of creatures that are not intact apparently. Some still have skin left. There was a flat-faced one, but it shattered next to it. I don't know. It depends on the microorganisms eating them, and it depends on the temperature around them.
"We what? What he's looking for is you. You forget I'm just a speck of gem in your left ear?" Xiao's loud voice sounded again. And Yi Hua was hoping to pull off this red jewel in her ear.
Yi Hua clapped his hand as he just remembered. "I forgot you were just a parasite in my ear!" Yi Hua's voice was somewhat sarcastic, but in fact he had long wanted to call it.
This guy ...
A DUG!
Yi Hua's gaze stared towards the voice. Yi Hua, from the skeletal shape of his body, he knew it was a child that crashed into a tree many times. As Yi Hua said, they were as active as they were before dying. This kid probably ran to avoid the dust fog, and he ended up dying just like that.
Then, either because of this 'something' they don't know yet, this boy got back up. Not alive, but dead and doing the same thing. He ran and hit a tree in front of him.
The tree and the tree are getting old. It was already telling how long this kid kept running and bumping into him. All over and over again, until the body of this child becomes a skull that has fragments in the skull of his head.
Yi Hua took out a fairly large piece of wood. Then, he swung it towards the weathered tree trunk. And ...
CREK ... CREK ... BRUAKH!!
The log fell to the ground from Yi Hua's punch. It was not only supported by the strength of Yi Hua's hand, but also because of the weathered wooden trunk. So that it is not something extraordinary to do, even though only with a blunt object.
"Something that doesn't have to be done." Yi Hua heard Xiao's hollow voice in his ear.
That's absolutely true.
However ...
Yi Hua looked at the child who had always hit the tree before. Now he no longer hit a tree, but he ran because there was no barrier anymore. However, he fell back when he hit something big.
It does. Something that doesn't need to be done.
But have you ever wondered what you might want to do before you die?
Those who are here are the ones who cannot save themselves from this sandstorm disaster. Then, they still tried to save themselves when they were dead. How depressing.
Even without awareness they still want to achieve what they never achieved.
Yi Hua clapped his dirty hands as he held the dusty wood. "I didn't find anything strange, Xiao. Here are just the bodies of the victims of the Dust Valley disaster."
Yi Hua walked over to someone standing tall while holding a sword. Compared to the others, this 'person' was still intact. Maybe these people are the lost walkers here. Because, Yi Hua had heard from Liu Xingsheng that there were some people who disappeared when forcing through the Dust Valley.
It's unfortunate ...
SRAT!
Yet Yi Hua was grateful that he still had a split second to pull his own head. Especially when the 'person' who thought one of these soulless bodies moved towards him. Then, the sword that was pointing at him also came from this person.
"God! Unnecessary. Too bad." That person seemed to attract his smile which was already like he was lacking in sane.
It seemed like it was not only Yi Hua who was a living being within this Dust Valley!
Yi Hua noticed someone he knew now was a man. From his styles this man looked solemn as he slashed towards Yi Hua. In other words, this person is dangerous!
Is this person the Blind Priestess, Shen Qibo?
Yi Hua clearly remembered that he had jumped into the dust puddle earlier because he saw a white figure dressed as a priest. Although this strange man was dressed in white, Yi Hua felt that what he saw was different from this man. Then, who is this guy?
"Do you think they look beautiful?" point the man at the surrounding Dust Valley Skull.
Yi Hua did not have time to reply, the man directly pointed his sword again at Yi Hua. Yi Hua retreated again quickly. Evades. Then, grabbing the scoop of dust in his hand. This was very bad because Yi Hua did not carry a weapon.
SRAT!
Yi Hua sowed dust onto the man's face like he was sowing fertilizer in a field. It was done to be evenly distributed, although Yi Hua felt it was less important. Well, he just wanted to do it.
SRETT
Yi Hua's gaze looked in disbelief as this man could also dodge his throws of dust. However he had a chance when the man was off guard, and Yi Hua raised next to his foot just to give a kick. And it hit the man's knee curve, until he fell bent down in the sand.
This is why wearing men's clothes is more comfortable when fighting!
At least this became his advantage when he became Yi Hua. He can act more agile, because he doesn't need to wear a girl's clothes. Especially give yourself.
Yi Hua attempted to intend to snatch the man's sword that was thrown, but ...
Zaassshhhh!!
How could a snake suddenly appear here?
However, Yi Hua realized that the surroundings were suddenly filled with venomous animals. It's not just snakes. It made him retreat quickly after kicking the sword near his feet to get away from the man as well.
"Yi Hua, stay away! The man seemed to be able to control the poisonous animals!" xiao shouted which made Yi Hua grow more alert.
However ...
STAPLE!
Yi Hua stared palely at his own hand that had been hit by a snake bite. Instantly his hand instantly turned blue, and his color continued to rise drastically. Inevitably Yi Hua grabbed the sword he had not yet reached.
"If you don't stop the poison, it can come to your heart!"
I know, stupid! But how do we stop the poison?
Then, CRASHHH!
"MUCH!!!!" Yi Hua's cry sounded out loud with her own tears.
Of course it hurts! Although he believed that his pain would later disappear like dew, thanks to the ability to 'go back to the beginning'. A burst of blood came out from Yi Hua who had already lost half of his left hand.
Yi Hua had no choice but to cut off his own hand.
I just hope that the ability to 'go back to the beginning' does indeed apply well!
Yi Hua is almost dead here! He clearly did not expect that his dream of dying could come true at this time.
***
CRATES!
Liu Xingsheng stared in disbelief at the three-fingered snake whose head was crushed at An's feet. Somehow the poor snake could be close to this cruel man. After all Liu Xingsheng was even pitying this snake.
"How can there be snakes in a desert region like this?" liu Xingsheng asked while paying attention to everything around him.
The turbulent dust could still be held back by An. Somehow it could be that strong to withstand the natural calamities around them. As Liu Xingsheng who was controlled by An was only a tear of Huan Ran's clothes. Liu Xingsheng still did not know the answer.
At first An did break through into the fog. But before long he appeared again as if trapped in a labyrinth. It was something that Liu Xingsheng did not understand, even so An's calm face still remained the same.
"Don't you usually know, Mr An?" asked Huan Ran who either wanted to insinuate, or wanted information from An.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have told you."
Huan Ran folded his hands on his chest. "Or you just don't want to say it? Especially when it comes to five sinners?"
What the fuck else is this?!
If Liu Xingsheng knew that this Dust Valley was related to five sinners, then Liu Xingsheng would choose to be romanced by his brother alone. After all these five sinners were a frightening specter for the inhabitants of the Li Kingdom. Of course if you remember the dark history.
If it happens again, or these five sinners appear, wouldn't it be a disaster?
Well, even though some of these five sinners are certainly no more in this world.
"It's not them."
Then, after that answer, the sound of a shout they were familiar with sounded. An's calm eyes became sharp. Without waiting for another second, the man shook his sword.
After which, the dust around them circled around as if frightened. Liu Xingsheng even directly closed the curtains of the carriage, fearing that the dust storm was coming back again.
However ...
CRUST!
The sound of the crack sounded like a broken shell.
When Liu Xingsheng looked back out of his carriage, he was immediately struck by goosebumps. Especially when looking at the venomous animals that appeared around them. Though in fact the animals had to be chopped by An's black sword.
Huan Ran looked towards the poisonous animals that were already lying around them. "Does human poison really exist?"
When Liu Xingsheng was a child, he had heard about the story. A human who is said to be able to control poisonous animals. However, he did not expect that such a creature really existed.
Anyway ...
They had never heard of any connection between this poison man and the Valley of Dust!
Why is this a little confusing?.
