Chapter 291 Students Taking Exams
Shen Xing stepped forward firmly, ignoring the dissuasion of the charming woman. His eyes seemed to penetrate the fog of the future and look directly at the coming storm.
Stepping into the ancient and dilapidated buildings, the past prosperity has disappeared like a cloud of smoke, replaced by the horrific scene of monsters wreaking havoc.
"Roar--" The monsters' roar was deafening. They were like demons crawling out of hell, trampling the land wantonly, and the tranquility of the village was completely broken. The villagers were panicked and ran away in all directions. Their cries and cries for help intertwined, forming a picture of despair.
Shen Xing witnessed all this, and an uncontrollable anger and desire to protect surged in his heart.
He held the gleaming knife tightly in his hand, his eyes flashing with determination and fearlessness. Without a moment's hesitation, he rushed towards the monsters like an arrow from a bow, vowing to protect the innocent lives on this land.
"Look at the knife!"
Shen Xing shouted loudly, and the knife flashed like lightning, cutting through the air and going straight to the monster's vital point. The monsters roared and rushed forward, their claws and fangs flashing with deadly cold light.
Shen Xing was agile and moved freely among the monsters. Every time he swung his sword, the monsters would howl and fall.
However, the number of monsters was too large, they seemed endless, and Shen Xing's physical strength and endurance gradually reached their limits.
At this moment, a huge monster suddenly attacked from behind, and its huge claws grabbed Shen Xing tightly like an iron clamp.
Shen Xing felt a powerful force coming, his body was lifted up involuntarily, and the world in front of him began to spin. He looked up at the hideous face of the monster, but there was no fear in his heart, only persistence in justice and perseverance in belief.
"One of you must stand up as a sacrifice!" The monster's voice echoed in the air, with unquestionable majesty. The villagers looked at each other, fear and selfishness flashing in their eyes. Shen Xing looked at these villagers whom he once swore to protect with his life, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings, but he knew that he could not give up.
"Do you want to continue? Is it worth it for these people who betrayed you?" The monster's voice sounded again, with a hint of sarcasm and provocation.
Shen Xing took a deep breath and used all his strength to break free from the monster. He straightened his back and looked at the monster with a sharp gaze: "It's worth it! Because I am not fighting for them, but for the justice and beliefs in my heart!"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Xing raised his knife and rushed towards the group of monsters again.
The villagers who had fought side by side gradually lost their minds driven by fear and despair.
Some people screamed and chose to flee, leaving Shen Xing alone on the battlefield.
Some people are so panic-stricken that they have no idea what to do.
Faced with an even crazier monster, Shen Xing's strength seemed to have reached its limit. His consciousness gradually became cloudy, and every swing of his sword seemed extremely difficult.
Although some villagers did not choose to flee, they picked up their weapons and stabbed the monster.
But their attacks were disorganized and more like desperate struggles. What's worse, in the chaos and fear, they aimed their spearheads at Shen Xing, who was also in danger.
The sound of blades cutting through the air, the roars of monsters, and the cries and screams of people intertwined to form a tragic symphony.
Shen Xing's back, arms, and even face were all covered with wounds from his companions' accidental injuries. Blood stained his clothes and dripped onto the ground, merging with the monster's blood into a river.
He tried to dodge the attacks from behind, but the monsters' siege made it difficult for him to do anything.
Every time he turned to defend, it meant that the front line of defense was loosened, and more monsters took the opportunity to pounce on him. Shen Xing felt his consciousness begin to blur, and the world in front of him became distorted and illusory.
He didn't know how long he could hold on, but his dedication to justice and his desire to survive made him grit his teeth and swing the knife with all his might.
For Shen Xing, this battle was not only a physical contest, but also a mental torture.
At this moment of life and death, Shen Xing felt an unprecedented fatigue. His vision began to blur and he finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep coma.
When he woke up again, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment - a quiet and warm yard. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, shining on him, bringing a hint of warmth.
"Son, you finally woke up!"
A kind couple sat around the bed with concern, their eyes filled with anxiety and joy.
Shen Xing looked around and saw various books and stationery placed in front of him. Everything seemed so familiar yet strange.
He tried hard to recall everything that had happened before, but his memory was as disorganized as fragments.
"Who... who am I?" Shen Xing's voice trembled a little as he tried to find the answer from his memory.
"You are my son. Your name is Shen Xing, and you are a student preparing for an exam." His mother gently stroked his forehead, her eyes full of love and pity. "You suddenly fell ill because you were too tired from preparing for the exam. We were all very worried. Fortunately, you have woken up now."
"How could that be? I remember I was fighting a monster just now, wasn't I? Where are my wounds?" As he spoke, Shen Xing touched his thin arms and looked at his emaciated body. Although it was shriveled, it had no wounds.
The old woman patted Shen Xing's back gently and said proudly,
"The child must be tired from studying. I said, enough, enough, but you insisted on studying. Look, you have become confused from studying and illness. You just woke up from a serious illness yesterday and haven't fully recovered yet, but you are reading again. You are tired, aren't you? You don't even know who you are! Really! Go and lie down for a while."
When Shen Xing heard this, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
"So that's how it is. Ahem, ahem, ahem."
He realized that he might have experienced an incredible dream or hallucination, and the battle with the monster, the betrayal of the villagers, and his heroic resistance to the enemy were all nothing but illusions.
However, that kind of indomitable spirit and fighting spirit, and persistence in justice and belief, are deeply imprinted in his heart.
He looked at his parents in front of him and felt the warmth and peace of home.
He understood that no matter how turbulent the outside world was, as long as he had the support and company of his family, he would be able to stand up again and move forward.
Therefore, Shen Xing decided to let go of the confusion and perplexity of the past, cherish the happy time in front of him, and at the same time not forget his original intention and continue to pursue his dreams and beliefs.
In this quiet courtyard, Shen Xing started a new life. While recuperating from his illness, he reviewed his lessons and prepared for the exams. At the same time, he began to reflect on his life path and values.
