Chapter 48: Very Human

Su Ji didn’t know what the big black dragon in front of him was thinking.

She quickly ate the delicious sweet potatoes and then tidied up the nest.

The sky became completely dark.

The moon shines on the earth.

The earth was dyed with a layer of red blood.

And these blood-colored creatures were like ferocious beasts, emerging from their nests with fangs and sharp claws, posing a threat to Su Jiu.

The big black dragon blocked the entrance of the nest, completely covering up everything bloody outside.

Su Jiu was like a treasure, protected by it, preventing the evil outside from harming Su Jiu in any way.

Su Jiu just looked at the big black dragon's back and felt strange in his heart.

The word "protection" became a concrete expression, giving Su Jiu a place to stay.

The wandering soul has a moment of peace at this moment.

Su Jiu slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep for the first time in this world.

but……

With a loud "boom", a bolt of thunder appeared in this virtual world.

The white lightning almost turned the night into day.

And Su Jiu, with the help of this flash of white light, saw the appearance of the nest.

Completely different from the daytime.

Those dead skeletons stood up tremblingly and walked towards him and the big black dragon step by step.

It feels like a march, and also like a pilgrimage.

Weird and fantastical.

Seeing Xiao Sheng in Su Jiu's virtual world in the monitoring room, he reached out and tapped the screen, enlarging Su Jiu's pupils.

His fingers paused slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his inhuman eyes.

He murmured to himself, "Why is she here?"

"Could it be..."

Originally, Xiao Sheng planned to continue searching for his lost items in this research institute as usual.

Don't care about a little Su Jiu.

But at this moment, his attention seemed to be firmly attracted by Su Jiu. He could only see Su Jiu's figure, looking a little dazed.

"It's actually here, ah..."

His voice was full of amazement, and his movements were even a little crazy.

"Wait a little longer, we will definitely take you back."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the mental suggestion to Su Jiu increased.

The entire virtual world began to collapse and distort again.

The skeletons on the ground stood up tremblingly, and their bones made crisp and stiff sounds, making them walk towards Su Jiu step by step.

As the night deepens, malice grows rampantly.

Here, Su Jiu's will is no longer the only one.

Su Jiu felt that there was an uncomfortable gaze on her.

But when she looked up, she was surrounded by the treasures and collections of the big black dragon, and there was no so-called sight at all.

This made Su Jiu a little hesitant.

Should I tell others about this discovery?
Finally, Su Jiu opened his mouth tentatively, but no word came out.

She had no way of telling the big black dragon how she felt.

Of course, even if I said it, the big black dragon wouldn't understand it.

Thinking of this, there was a rare sadness in Su Jiu's eyes.

What a pity.

The first time I felt treated as a "person" with human rights was from a black dragon.

It's not even its own kind.

It can't even understand what it's saying.

Su Jiu stretched out his hand and wanted to grab the black dragon's tail, first for his own safety, and second for warmth in the dark night. However, the next second, a strange forelimb stretched out from the treasures collected by the big black dragon!
The sharp forelimbs like those of a mantis fell on Su Jiu's neck, leaving a deep mark on her fragile neck.

The smell of blood instantly permeated the entire nest.

Su Jiu struggled to reach out and grab the big black dragon, but her trachea had been cut and she was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound.

The big black dragon is a beast, so it can naturally smell the strange smell in the air at the first moment.

It turned around suddenly and saw Su Jiu lying on the ground!

"Roar!" Those non-lethal sounds disappeared at this moment, and the big black dragon finally revealed its ferocity as the strongest hunter in this area.

It is the ruler of the ruins, and all living things in its territory belong to it!

And this little thing that suddenly broke into his ruined world was the only living creature.

The big black dragon stretched out its claws and carefully picked up Su Jiu from the ground with a movement that was not in line with his body size.

Then it raised its head, opened its mouth to reveal its sharp fangs, and bit the mantis before it could retract its forelimbs.

Bite hard and tear its front limbs apart!

"Ah!" Xiao Sheng screamed in pain, his face pale and sweaty as he looked at the black creature in the middle of the screen.

What on earth is that?
Why can it bite through itself so easily? !
The big black dragon felt unprecedented anger in his heart.

Of course, simply losing his front limbs would not extinguish his rage.

He beat the dead mantis on the ground with his tail again and again, and the roar from his mouth made the surrounding creatures dare not move forward.

They all knew that anyone who dared to go up now would be torn to pieces by this top predator!
No one would dare to take this risk.

At this moment, Su Jiu slowly raised his hand, gently placed it on the big black dragon's head, and patted it twice.

She opened her mouth with difficulty, but no sound came out.

The body is getting colder and colder, and the consciousness is about to leave the body.

But Su Jiu felt regret for the first time.

She didn’t know if she would see the big black dragon again next time, nor did she know if the big black dragon she would see in the future would be the one that would only give her sweet potatoes.

What a pity that I haven't said goodbye properly yet.

She hadn't told the big black dragon yet that she had enjoyed this short journey.

She ate food she had never eaten before, was protected by a living creature for the first time, and felt safe at night for the first time.

She was still killed though.

But it's okay.

It's just that the process of dying is a little painful, and she will be back soon.

and so……

Su Ji raised the corners of his mouth with great effort, and felt the tears as big as beans falling on his face, drop by drop, falling on his body, like rain.

The thunder outside did not stop, and heavy rain seemed to be falling inside.

But Su Jiu knew that this nest was very warm and sturdy, and rain could not get in.

How she wanted to say something to the big black dragon.

——Don’t cry, I’m just dying for a short time.

——I will still be alive, just not here.

——I am very happy to meet you. I feel really lucky to have this brief encounter.

The Black Dragon finally went crazy as he looked at the little thing that had lost its breath in front of him.

"Roar!"

"Hoohoo!"

"Hoohoho!"

The scales on its body began to fall off and land on the ground one by one.

The wings behind him were also retracted into his body, and his whole body seemed to be compressed and gradually confined into a shell that was much smaller than a dragon.

If Su Jiu were still alive in this world.

She would probably find that the black dragon in front of her...

Very human-like.
