The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 172: Falling Stars (I)

The tail of the meteor streaked across the sky above Mobei, forcefully cutting the night sky in half.

In the eyes of young Ariel, this meant that the Supreme God had bestowed upon him another batch of star fragments.

In Mobei, meteor showers are common, and they often search for the places where meteors fell and look for the star fragments that fell there.

Star fragments have many uses.

First of all, it is hard and sharp, and no other material can match it, so it can be made into the best weapon.

There is no power-hungry Mobei person who doesn't want to own a weapon made of star fragments.

Moreover, Ariel heard from the old witch in the tribe that star fragments can bring God's protection, help you connect with the Supreme God, and resist or even cure strange diseases.

What kind of strange disease is this? Ariel has never seen it before.

He only knew that if he got a strange disease, he had to go to the temple and pray to the old witch for help. If he was not pious enough and did not have the protection of star fragments, he might fall into depravity. Only by being purified by the Supreme God could his soul be released and return to the arms of the Supreme God.

Ariel seldom heard of people who could leave the temple alive after contracting strange diseases. 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 are often only obtained by extremely lucky people!
Any place in Mobei could potentially be the place where stars fall, and once they appear, countless people from Mobei nearby would rush to look for them and then snatch them away.

As Ariel watched, his eyes gradually widened, and he found that the light of the star was becoming more and more dazzling, and the burning head was getting closer and closer, as if it was about to fall before his eyes!

"Grandpa, remember to close your eyes." He shouted towards the tent, afraid that the bright light would burn his fragile eyeballs.

After a while, there was no sound. He almost thought that the person inside had fallen asleep. Then a slow voice came out: "Okay..."

The voice was hoarse and weak, like an old bellows that could not be pulled and was leaking air.

Ariel was very worried. His grandfather had caught a cold since he went hunting in the mountains a few days ago. He soon fell down. The herbal medicine he took to treat the cold did not help, and he became weaker day by day.

His grandfather saved him from being an orphan and thrown into a pack of wolves, and raised him up. He is his only relative, so nothing can happen to him!
If star fragments can cure even terrible strange diseases, can they also cure grandpa's cold?

Ariel made up his mind that he must get this star fragment!
So he took the pony and rode on it.

Although he was only eight years old and short in stature, he was skillful in his movements. He squeezed his legs hard and rode away on his horse.

After all, for the people in Mobei, riding a horse is natural. If a child doesn't know how to ride a horse, he will be laughed at.

Ariel followed the direction where the meteor fell, feeling ecstatic.

Yes, this time, the stars will fall near his home!
Just over the mountain.

For some reason, Ariel's grandfather was not liked by the people in the tribe, so the two of them had to live in a remote place.

In the past, Ariel thought this was an annoying thing that prevented him from playing with children of the same age, but now he is glad.

Fewer people means 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 tear up.

Moreover, although Ariel did not understand many things, his intuition told him that the light was not a good thing and it contained a terrifying meaning of destruction.

I always feel that this meteor is different from previous ones.

His heart was pounding in his chest. He didn't dare look or get any closer. He could only rein in his pony and close his eyes.

There was a whistling sound coming from far away, accompanied by a sharp sound wave breaking through the air at an extremely fast speed. Ariel knew that the star was about to fall to the ground.

The pony paced back and forth anxiously. He could only hold the reins tightly around his arms, cover his ears tightly, and lie on the horse's back.

Soon, there was a deafening bang, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment. The strong shock wave spread in all directions, and the ground shook as if the earth's crust was about to crack.

The pony was frightened, and let out a long neigh. Its front hooves flew into the air, and then it ran in the opposite direction with Ariel in tow.

Ariel was so frightened that he was trembling all over. He couldn't control the pony, so he could only lie down and let the pony run for a while.

His eyes were still pierced by the light, and tears welled up in his eyes. As he ran, he thought of his sick grandfather, and his tears welled up even more. No, he had to save his grandfather!

So he plucked up his courage, grabbed the reins again to control the pony, gently stroked the pony's mane, called the pony's name and begged in a low voice: "Zauhar, please, let's go and save grandpa together."

After being comforted by him, the pony calmed down a little and was ready to accept his orders.

Then Ariel rode on his pony and rushed towards the falling place.

……

After climbing over a hill, we finally reached our destination.

However, there was nothing at the crash site except a very wide deep pit and a large area of ​​black ash.

Ariel dismounted and grabbed a handful of the black ashes.

"This is, transparent!" he said to himself. The gravel looked black, but was actually crystal clear, like sparkling crystals.

He had only seen crystals in temples during sacrifices, and they were very rare.

As a result, he now has them all on his hands!
Just a little bit broken down.

"Kid, if I were you, I wouldn't touch the sand."

A voice suddenly sounded, and Ariel trembled with fear, and the sand on his hands fell to the ground and merged back into the ashes.

He 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 visible facial features was lowered towards him.

Ariel screamed and took a few steps back, but a pair of hands gently supported his shoulders to prevent him from falling to the ground.

"It's okay, we are not bad people." said a cold female voice.

Ariel stood firm, looked at the woman, and his face blushed slightly.

This was the most beautiful and noble woman he had ever seen in his life. Even the old patriarch's daughter was not as beautiful as her. But her clothes were very strange, different from those of the people in Mobei.

"Excuse me, where is this place?" the woman said with a cold face, but Ariel could hear the tenderness in her words.

"Here, this is Ayasan." Ariel stammered.

When the masked man heard this, he said to the woman in annoyance, "Sure enough, this place is a long way from Sudan City. The old man picked a good location."

"I think you are also worried about bringing harm to civilians." The woman said calmly.

"You're lucky, little brat, that you only came running here now, otherwise all the dregs would be gone."

The masked weirdo's words frightened Ariel so much that he couldn't help but pout and burst into tears.

"Okay, host, please stop scaring him." The woman was helpless.

"Forget it, let's go home." The masked man was helpless. "I didn't even notice that he ran so far. I can't figure it out. I don't have the math talent that old guy has."

"However, fortunately, in order to isolate the strange aura, you promptly cut off the connection with the Painting of Autumn Moon over Dongting Lake in Sudan and brought it out alone, otherwise the others in the Painting of Eight Views of Xiaoxiang would have been in trouble."

"That's right." Although he couldn't see the masked man's expression, Ariel could feel his pride.

"Where is your home, kid?"

Ariel didn't know what this man was going to do, and he was very worried and didn't dare to say anything.

It was only after the beautiful woman asked again that Ariel dared to ask: "Excuse me...what are you going to do..."

"We want to go home alive."
