Law Of Creation

"Hei Zhuan Lei, is it okay to let that little kid throw her life?" A big-build tribesman asked as he retreated from the front line.

"Don't ask me! I don't know! Ask leader yourself! I don't want to be pummeled again!!!" Zhuan Lei rolled his eyes.

He understood many asked that question toward him since they were all afraid to be pummeled. Their tribe's leader was well-known with his short fuse.

"H- Hey, look at that! That little kid is fine!" Another tribesman pointed at the incoming Mingyue.

Unlike the last time, now Xiao Wu walked full of grace like what Mingyue told her earlier.

[Walk slowly, straight neck, walk slowly, straight neck, walk slowly, . . .] Xiao Wu repeated in her mind so she didn't forget what she had to do.

All the tribesmen were all slacked jaw as they saw a little kid (Mingyue) walked leisurely in the middle of the being from the other side, while the others were looking at Xiao Wu.

[Heck! Do you think that you are walking in the middle of the market! Don't you see some weird living being around you!]

[. . . Wait, is that really a horse? Why its shape was weird???]

[Is that a pony? Is that even considered a pony?]

[Why do I feel annoyed as I saw that smug face on that pony?]

And thanks to the shock they received, they didn't realize that their leader, Liao An, was left all alone in front of them.

Of course, because Liao An was at the front-most, he didn't look at the incoming Mingyue and Xiao Wu. All he knew was no one fought as they were slacking.

"DAMN! WHY ARE YOU ALL SLACKING AWAY!" Liao An wanted to explode as he was all alone fending the being from the other side. When he took a quick look at his behind, he saw most of the tribesmen were daydreaming in the middle of the battlefield.

[F*ck! Your granddaddy is all alone and all of you are having fun behind me??]

[You are all damn best warrior of the tribe, why do all of you act like an idiot? This is in the middle of the battlefield!!!]

As he was almost strangled the nearest tribesman, Liao An forgot about the being from the other side for a moment.

When he returned to his sense, he was surrounded by the being from the other side. He became the main target as he was all alone

[DAMN!!!]

Liao An focused all of his strength as he prepared to break through.

One strike by another strike, he shielded as he made another punch toward the being from the other side.

It was splendid movement, he was able to hold his ground as he decreased their number, but that's all. Slowly but sure, he was pushed behind as his stamina was drained! He was unable to hold that number!

As he was annoyed, a black light flashed in front of him. He didn't have any time to react!

[Ah, damn!] was what he thought, but the worst case scenario he imagined didn't happen.

A black light moved toward one being from the other side into another.

It was different from a black mist that was emitted by them. Liao An didn't feel any danger from the black light.

The movement of the being from the other side was disturbed by the black light and Liao An didn't miss this chance. He channelled all his strength into his arm as he punched every being from the other side. He was a little surprised because the being from the other side didn't have the usual resistance as they let him punch them as he wished.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!" With no resistance, Liao An had it easy as he punched one after another one.

[Don't tell me that black light is. . .]

[Looks like I got an unknown reinforcement] Liao An smiled bitterly.

Even though he was curious about the identity of that black light, he still prioritized the problem in front of him.

With each step, Liao An pummeled one being from the other side. As long as he could keep the 'swordfish scale armour' as his gauntlet and 'armed bear' as his strength source, he was capable to keep fighting.

The tribesmen around Liao An realized their mistake as they immediately returned to their post.

With more being from the other side was killed, Liao An could take some easy breath as he was looking at the source of the black light.

As he was looking around, Liao An froze when he looked at one direction.

There was a little kid (Mingyue) riding a small and white pony (Xiao Wu). The little kid was clearly looking at Liao An directly as if the little kid looked at something amusing.

The little kid wore a tattered cloth, but her hair was ash-grey coloured. But even so, the little kid looked unperturbed by his inspecting gaze.

Even though the little girl in front of him was clearly a young girl, his gut feeling said that the little girl in front of him was not someone ordinary.

[No! No little kid will have that kind of expression!] Liao An could feel a cold sweat on his forehead.

He understood in his mind that this girl was the source of that black light! No matter what, he had a debt, a huge debt toward the little girl.

It was the first time Liao An was nervous ever since he took the mantle as the tribe's leader.

He took a few steps closer to the little kid and said loudly, "I am the tribe's leader of the Wind Chasing Tribe, Liao An. May I have the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to know who you are?"

…

"I am the tribe's leader of the Wind Chasing Tribe, Liao An. May I have the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to know who you are?"

[Yep, I have fished the big-shot here.] MIngyue smiled evilly, but she kept an emotionless expression on the surface.

"You may call me, uh, Yue. . . "

"Can't you use another alias?" Xiao Jing rolled her eyes, but Mingyue didn't have the leisure to retort back.

"Err.. Lit- Miss Yue, I have to thank for your help earlier." Liao An smacked his left c.h.e.s.t with his right hand repeatedly because it was the culture of his tribe.

But Mingyue frowned a little since the sweat scent filled the air surroundings. It was smelly, it reminded her of unwashed socks back in the Xia family's domain.

"Ah, no worry, no worry. I am here to tell you something else." Mingyue waved her hand in front of her nose as she tried to remove the smell.

"Can this wait for a moment? My tribesmen currently are fending off the being from the other side."

"Being from the other side? You mean living dead?"

"Ah, that something is similar to a corpse."

"Then I suggest you to back off now."

". . . Eh?"

"Your war has attracted more of these living dead from those places." Mingyue said as she looked at the far and blurry mountains.

"My tribesmen can fend those reinforcements. No need to worry, Miss Yue." Liao An clearly unused to speak formally to someone smaller than his precious daughter.

". . . Are you prepared to face the dead-end? Are you willing to let your people ended up like those?" Mingyue pointed her small finger to the bunch of the living dead.

"What?" Liao An was dreaded as he remembered the message of his predecessor.

'Once you are fully corroded, you will end up like the being from the other side. Remember, never be soft-hearted, so you can guide our tribe to keep guard this place.'

"Looks like you know a few things. Then it will make it fast." Mingyue spoke slowly as she looked at the surroundings. "The longer you are here, the more you provoke that, your people's demise will be absolute."

Pointing at a random direction, Mingyue continued, "These living dead are only the first wave. Not even one wave is done, just imagine if there is multiple waves here?"

Liao An felt his back was drenched because of his nervousness.

"Bu- But, it is what I have to do. What my tribe have to do." Liao An clenched his teeth as he hardened his heart.

[Even though I have to fall, even though my people will fall, I have to protect the future of the tribe!]

Mingyue just nodded slowly. "Admirable. Admirable indeed." But she immediately shook her head. "You didn't understand your enemy. You didn't know your enemy. You even didn't know anything. You are no different from a blind person. You may be proud of what you just say, but I disdain you."

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW !!!" Liao An roared as he couldn't stand the sneers behind her words.

His body was trembling out of anger, he squeezed both of his hand as if he wanted to punch Mingyue.

[Yes! I don't know many things! But we have been doing this for so many years and there is nothing wrong! Everything is fine!]

" 'That' thing is never short of these living dead. The more you crush, 'that' thing will not feel anything as it will only endanger your tribe. Be a good kid and lead your people out of this place. Seal it tightly."

[Tsk. Talking with stone-head is really tiring] Mingyue scoffed as she saw the temper of the muscle thing in front of her.

Mingyue continued, "Why do I know? Then I will ask you. Why don't you know? You are only blinded by what you see in front of you, but you never see what behind 'it'. What you currently do is only making 'it' see you. Nothing more, nothing less."

". . . Can't you talk properly? What is 'that' and what is 'it'?" Liao An finally regained his clarity as he found what Mingyue just said had some secret behind it.

"I am sorry, classified information." Mingyue's expression changed into a smiling face.

[It is classified information since I don't know how to fabricate random things anymore.] Mingyue grinned in her mind.

"Er. . . So, what else can you tell, Miss Yue? Don't worry, I don't have any bad intention." Liao An feared that Mingyue deliberately covered some important information. He was determined to gain the information as it was useful for the tribe and for the future of the Wind Chasing Tribe.

"I am sorry, classified information. I will tell you. Even if you will not back off, I will seal this place anyway no matter whether you are still alive or not." Mingyue kept her nonchalant smile on her face.

"Mi- Miss Yue, I know I am wrong, so I am asking for your forgiveness. But this information is very important for my tribe, for my people, for the future of my tribe-"

"I understand what you mean. Classified information is a classified information. The secret of the heaven cannot be divulged to a mere mortal, else a disaster would arrive on this land." Mingyue cut Liao An's plead with some random excuse. "Just think of me as a certain future traveller."

[Please, please get back. Even though this place is a little interesting, there is clearly the source of the problem. Even I don't randomly poke the hornet's nest, or else I will end up dead.]

Fortunately, Liao And didn't push the answer from Mingyue as he fell into silence.

"MAN! FALL BACK!" In the end, Liao An made a big decision.

"GROUP FOUR, FIVE, AND SIX, COVER FOR THE CORRODED PATIENT!"

"ALL BEAR-TOTEM WARRIOR SUMMONER! MAINTAIN THE FRONTLINE AS YOU MOVE BACK SLOWLY!"

"THE WAR HAS ENDED! NOW TIME TO DO THE CEREMONY!"

Even though the war wasn't really ended, but this was the outcome that most of the tribesmen wished.

Too many were corroded and even some were killed in action.

The price they had to pay was not small.
