Chapter 6 Moving Stars (6000)(2/2)
——Why look up at the stars?
It didn't know that this was a mission under the elders of the clan. Every day, several foxes would leave the warm underground crypt and come to the bitter and cold surface, alternately on duty, and stare at the starry sky.
If you don’t do this, you will be driven out of the crypt by the elder who is great-great-great-grandfather and exiled for three days.
Grandpa Zengzhao is very strong, able to control frost and move big stones out of thin air. Although he is old and begins to shed hair frequently, no fox in the clan can beat it and become the next elder. No one can protect the fox it wants to exile.
Even the fox couldn't hold on if he didn't eat fish or drink water for three days. He had seen his clan uncle three years older than him resist the task. However, after being exiled, he was dying and was not rescued in the end. He died in the hole and his body was thrown into the holy lake as bait for fish and algae.
Since then, these generations of foxes have never resisted the mission.
He surrounded himself with two big furry tails to keep warm. The little fox knew that he had been on duty for an hour and a half. After another half an hour, the next fox would come to take over and end this difficult time.
——One star, two stars, three...
Count the stars and pass the time. Any fox who has done the mission of looking up at the starry sky will do this. This does not require human education at all. Instinct is like this.
The starry sky is endless and the stars are endless. Anyway, according to the fox's thinking ability, there are definitely countless. After counting about dozens of stars, the little fox yawned in a sleepy way, and his eyes that were staring at the starry sky became foggy, and he was obviously about to fall asleep.
But soon, it shuddered all over and became energetic - because there was an unconcealed sound of action behind it.
Turning his head, the little fox saw a larger fox. It also had silver-white fur and ice-blue eyes, but the difference was that the other party had three tails. It immediately stood up happily and walked towards the other party.
The second grandfather who took over has arrived.
Two foxes, one big and one small, face each other with their backs, five tails intertwined, subtle spiritual power intertwined, forming a simple frequency, communicating the ideas of both parties.
——Second Grandpa, you came early.
——Well, you go back first, don’t get frozen.
Communication is very simple. After all, the fox’s thinking cannot be too complicated. The little fox cannot feel the care. He just felt that it was a happy thing to be able to return to the crypt early, so he said goodbye to his second grandfather and jumped and prepared to go back.
But at this moment, it heard its second grandfather let out a short scream.
"Guao?"
This is not a common thing - this world is thin and breathing is difficult, let alone speaking. Even during the estrus, foxes who are fighting for opportunities to reproduce will not intimidate each other with their screams.
What exactly happened that surprised Grandpa second?
Thinking of this, the little fox himself discovered an abnormality.
In an instant, a bright light flashed from above the sky—
It immediately raised its head and looked up at the stars.
Then, you can see that in the dark universe, a silver-blue star is moving rapidly at a high altitude at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving a faint band of light that crosses the sky.
——This, this is incredible!
Opening his little mouth, the little fox showed an extremely humanized and astonishing expression. It counted so many times, but never encountered a moving planet. No wonder Grandpa second screamed out in surprise. What a rare thing!
But then, something even more rare happened. The silver-blue star that was rapidly passing over the sky actually split another smaller star... It descended, descended, and then.
Then he dragged the long flame belt and fell on the ice field not far away.
And just as the little fox was immersed in this scene, its second grandfather rushed over and slapped his tail with his tail.
——Go quickly, Xiao Wu, go back to the crypt.
——Hey? Why?
For a moment, the strange and beautiful silver-blue meteor was still in my mind. Before the little fox could react to what the second grandfather said, he still instinctively followed the other party's pace and ran towards the crypt.
——Forgotten? Why do we look up at the stars?
The big fox's tone was serious, with three tails, and his heart was full of excitement, as he was a little more spiritual.
I couldn't help but turn my head and continue to look at the dazzling light marks remaining in the black starry sky. The big fox's eyes were full of expectations.
——For thousands of years... we have been waiting.
