Chapter 290 (two hundred and ninety)
"Yeah!" Fang Piaolan nodded and said, "The sun has set, but it can rise again tomorrow. Whether it rises or sets, it can be spectacular."
Fei Cunyi said: "It will set tomorrow, but it will rise the day after tomorrow..." When he said this, his heart seemed to be tugged by something, and his expression was stained with a touch of gorgeous sadness by the light of the setting sun. He thought to himself: The sun will rise the day after tomorrow, but I may not be able to see it. People are so small in the world. When a person leaves this world forever, he will never see the scenery behind him again, but the sun will still rise and set - just like when that person was alive. But people's hearts are so big, recalling the past, feeling the present, and imagining the future, even if that "future" will never appear, they can still imagine it. The sun sets, and it can rise again. People die, but they can never be resurrected.
Fang Piaolan continued Fei Cunyi's words and said, "Yes, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and many, many days... there will be countless sunrises and sunsets... from now on, we will not only watch the sunrise together, but also the sunset together!"
Fei Cunyi was already feeling a little melancholy, and when he saw Fang Piaolan, who was clueless, speaking naively, his heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.
"Actually... having the opportunity to see such a beautiful scenery, whether you see it together or alone, is a kind of happiness, isn't it?" Fei Cunyi couldn't help but say.
"Ah? What do you mean by that? Watch it alone?" Fang Piaolan looked at Fei Cunyi.
Before Fei Cunyi could think of how to answer, a giant monster covered with gray scales suddenly jumped out from the side, opened its mouth wide and gradually approached the two of them.
This monster is called the Scaled Beast. Its eyes flash a creepy green light, and mist sprays out of its mouth when it opens.
"Piaolan, run over there first!" Fei Cunyi said. He immediately drew his bow and shot several arrows at the scaly beast.
In order not to cause trouble for Fei Cunyi, Fang Piaolan quickly ran to the side, but she kept looking back at Fei Cunyi anxiously from time to time.
Part of Fei Cunyi's arrows shot into the open mouth of the Scaled Beast, and the other part hit the Scaled Beast's head.
The Scaled Beast's mouth, which had been wide open, suddenly closed. With a few "crackling" sounds, the arrows that Fei Cunyi had shot into its mouth all broke. After the arrows broke, the Scaled Beast chewed them a few times and spat them out onto the ground. The arrow that had hit the Scaled Beast's head fell to the ground after hitting its extremely hard gray scales. Fei Cunyi continued to shoot arrows, this time aiming for its eyes.
It closed its eyes and opened them again, and the arrow turned around and shot back at Fei Cunyi, who luckily dodged it. While he was dodging, he stepped on a protruding object.
At the same time, Fang Piaolan over there screamed "Ah" and immediately jumped up in pain. When she landed, her foot stepped on another protrusion. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
In an instant, a crack appeared where Fang Piaolan fell, and before she could say anything, the liquid slipped out of her mouth.
Fei Cunyi looked back and was shocked: "Piao Lan!"
He immediately ran to where Fang Piaolan had slid down.
At this time, the scaly beast raised its two front legs, and the raging sand swept along the stones on the ground and attacked Fei Cunyi.
Fei Cunyi's eyes were blinded by the sand and he couldn't open them, so he had to dodge by feeling. When he dodged, he also slid down where Fang Piaolan slid down.
