Chapter 172 Stars Falling (1)
The tail of the meteor streaked across the sky above Mobei, powerfully cutting the night in half.
In the eyes of young Ariel, this meant that the Supreme God had given another star fragment.
In Mobei, it is common for gods to drop meteors. They often go after the place where the meteor fell and look for the star fragments that fell there.
Star fragments have many uses.
First of all, it is hard and sharp, no other material can match it, and can be made into the best weapons.
No power-hungry Mobei person would not want to own a weapon made of star fragments.
Furthermore, Ariel heard from the old witch in the tribe that star fragments can bring God's protection, help you connect with the Supreme God, resist and even cure strange diseases.
What kind of strange disease is it? Ariel has never really seen it.
He only knows that if he gets a strange disease, he has to go to the temple to pray to the old witch for help. If he is not pious enough and does not have the protection of the star fragments, he may fall. Only by being purified by the Supreme God can the soul be restored. Be released and fall back into the arms of the Supreme God.
Ariel rarely heard of people who got strange diseases and still left the temple alive. The old patriarch said that it was because their faith was not enough and they did not work hard to find star fragments to make up for it.
But star fragments can only be obtained by extremely lucky people!
Any place in Mobei may become the place where stars fall, and once it appears, countless Mobei people living nearby will go to search for it and then rob it.
As Ariel watched, his eyes gradually widened, and he found that the light of the stars was getting more and more dazzling, and the burning head was getting closer and closer, as if it was about to fall in front of him!
"Grandpa, remember to close your eyes." He shouted to the tent, fearing that the light would burn out his fragile eyeballs.
After a while, there was no sound. He almost thought that the people inside had fallen asleep, but then there was a slow sound: "Okay..."
The voice was hoarse and weak, like an old bellows that couldn't be turned, hissing. Hissing wind.
Yalil was very worried. Ever since his grandfather went hunting in the mountains a few days ago, he was infected with wind-cold and fell down quickly. Even after taking the herbs to treat the wind-cold, he was not getting better and he was getting weaker day by day.
Grandpa saved him when he was left in a wolf pile without a father or a mother. He also helped him grow up. He was his only relative, so nothing could happen to him!
If the star fragments can even cure terrible and strange diseases, can they also cure grandpa's cold?
Ariel made up his mind, he must get this star fragment!
So he took the pony, turned over and rode it.
Although he was only eight years old and short in stature, his movements were skillful. He squeezed his legs hard and galloped away.
After all, for Mobei people, riding a horse is natural. If a child cannot ride a horse, he will be laughed at.
Ariel chased the direction where the meteor fell, feeling ecstatic in his heart.
Yes, this time, the stars are falling near his home!
Just over the mountain.
I don’t know why, but Ariel’s grandfather is not liked by the people in the tribe, so the two of them can only live in a remote place.
In the past, Ariel thought this was an annoying thing, which prevented him from playing with children of the same age, but now he is happy.
The smaller number of people means there is a greater chance of getting there first and grabbing the star fragments.
The meteor was getting closer and closer, and the dazzling light made his eyes cry.
Furthermore, although Ariel did not understand many things, his intuition told him that the light was not a good thing, and contained a terrifying meaning of destruction.
I always feel that this meteor is different from the previous ones.
His heart was pounding in his chest. He didn't dare to look or get any closer. He could only rein in the pony and close his eyes.
Hearing only a whistling sound from far to near, accompanied by a sharp sound breaking through the sky, at an extremely fast speed, Ariel knew that the star was about to fall to the ground.
The pony was pacing back and forth restlessly, and he could only tightly tighten the reins around his arms, cover his ears tightly, and lie on the horse's back.
Soon, there was a deafening loud noise, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment, strong shock waves spread around, and the ground shook, as if the earth's crust was about to crack.
The pony was frightened, and with a long neigh, its front hooves rose into the air, and then ran in the opposite direction with Ariel.
Ariel was also so frightened that he was trembling and unable to control the pony. He could only lie down and let the pony run for a while.
His eyes were still pricked by the light just now and burst into tears. As he ran, thinking of his grandfather who was ill in bed, the tears became even more intense. No, he wants to save grandpa!
So he mustered up the courage, grabbed the reins again and controlled the pony, gently stroked the pony's mane, called the pony's name and begged in a low voice: "Zauhar, please Come on, let’s go rescue grandpa together.”
Under his comfort, the pony calmed down a little and allowed himself to be driven.
Then Ariel rode his pony and ran towards the place where he fell.
……
After climbing over a hill, we finally reached our destination.
However, there was nothing in the place where it fell, only an extremely wide deep pit and a large area of black ashes.
Ariel got off his horse and grabbed a handful of these black ashes.
"This is, transparent!" He said to himself. The gravel looked black, but in fact it was crystal clear, like bright crystals.
He had only seen crystals in temples during sacrifices, and they were very rare.
As a result, now he has them all on his hands!
Just a little bit broken.
"Child, if I were you, I wouldn't touch this sand."
A voice suddenly sounded, and Ariel trembled in fright, and the sand on his hands fell away. On the ground, reintegrated into the ashes.
I saw a strange man standing in front of him, his face covered with a layer of paper, holding a long sword in his hand, and the terrifying face with no facial features was lowered towards him.
Ariel screamed and took a few steps back, but a pair of hands gently held his shoulders to prevent him from falling to the ground.
"It's okay, we are not bad people." A cold female voice said.
Ariel stood firm and looked at the woman with a slight blush on his face.
This is the most beautiful and noble woman he has ever seen in his life, not even comparable to the old patriarch's daughter, but she is dressed very strangely, unlike the Mobei people.
"Excuse me, where is this place?" the woman said with a cold face, but Ariel could hear the gentleness in her words.
"Here, this is Aya Mountain." Ariel stammered.
When the masked weirdo heard this, he said to the woman in annoyance: "Sure enough, this is already a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Sudan City. The old guy picked a good location."
" I think senior is also worried about causing harm to civilians," the woman said calmly.
"You kid is lucky that you just ran here now, otherwise the scum would be gone."
What the masked weirdo said made Ariel even more frightened. I couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Okay, host, don't scare him anymore." The woman was helpless.
"That's all, it's important to go home." The masked weirdo was helpless, "I didn't realize that I ran so far. I really can't do the math. I don't have that old guy's arithmetic talent."< br>
“However, fortunately, in order to isolate the evil spirit, you , cut off the connection with the "Dongting Autumn Moon Picture" in Sudan in time, otherwise the other people in the Xiaoxiang Eight Scenery Picture will be miserable. "
"That's true." Although they can't see it. The expression of a masked weirdo, but Ariel can also feel his pride.
“Little devil, where is your home?”
Ariel didn't know what this man was going to do. He was so uneasy that he didn't dare to speak.
The beautiful woman asked again before Ariel dared to ask: "Excuse me...what are you going to do..."
"We want to go home alive."
