Chapter 19: Out of the Abyss
Being able to sleep peacefully in this strange place is a luxury. Yan Che would understand this from the next day, even if he didn't sleep much in the past.
But that night, he didn't sleep well.
He hadn't eaten meat in a while, and eating monster meat before caused him to go berserk and temporarily recover. But he didn't continue to replenish the meat for a long time, and now his body began to weaken again. Like a person with muscular atrophy, he feels like he is losing sensation in his hands and feet when he is asleep. If you want to recover your body, you still have to eat meat. Especially human flesh. Also sleeping next to him were humans, who could speed up the recovery of Yan Che's body. Maybe you don't have to kill a person, but you don't have to sacrifice a small piece of your own flesh?
This thought was so terrifying that Yan Che woke up from his nightmare.
It was the first time he had woken up from a nightmare.
In the middle of the night, it seems that someone is not asleep, walking in the narrow aisles. Yan Che opened the curtain of the wooden house and saw many feet walking quietly outside. He wanted to see who was walking outside, but suddenly his eyes went black and he fell asleep.
The next day, the man who led Yan Che the way last night shook Yan Che vigorously, and finally woke Yan Che from his sleep. The man said that Yan Che had enough time to sleep, and that the room was going to be for others to sleep in. Only then did Yan Che understand that a simple wooden house actually had to be shared by many people, and everyone slept for a certain period of time.
Yan Che tried to crawl out of the cabin, but his hands and feet were weak. The man saw Yan Che's incompetent appearance and reluctantly helped him up.
"Everyone, including Sister Yao, can't eat and drink here for nothing. Except for your children, who have no worries about food and clothing, everyone who has hands and feet has to work. The man said, but Yan Che felt ridiculous when he heard it, although he had hands and feet, he was no different from a disabled person. When the man put him on his shoulder, Yan Che approached the man and smelled the smell of people from the man's body. It's like smelling the smell of braised pork, and it's salivating. Yan Che even wanted to take a bite, but suddenly saw the man looking at him with strange eyes, so he suddenly came to his senses, pushed the man away, and walked on his own strength.
The exit is on the other side of the Forgotten Lands, and the distinction between import and exit is clear, and the exit is a swamp.
What are you going to do when you come out? Naturally, you're looking for food. And there is a principle, pregnant animals and young animals cannot be caught, and unripe plants cannot be picked, all for the sake of the future.
The man was ahead, stepping into the muddy swamp. He'd walked through the swamp many times, so he knew where the danger was. After Yan Che saw the man go down the swamp, he also entered, and followed him to grope in the swamp, looking for a day's rations for humans.
I fumbled for a while and found nothing. The man even felt that it was because he brought Yan Che with him, and felt that he was a little unlucky today, so he turned around and said to Yan Che: "You said that you are so powerful, why are spells all used for killing and destroying, and not for the benefit of others, such as changing food?"
Yan Che smiled with emotion, he could feel that this man had a prejudice against him.
"I feel like you've been targeting me, I wonder if I've done anything to be sorry for you in the past?" Yan Che asked.
"Aren't you to blame for not doing anything, and we're down to where we are today? I knew from the beginning that letting a demon lead a human race is tantamount to letting a wolf manage the flock, and in the end it will only be slaughtered by others. β
Although he didn't scold Yan Che on his face, he was heart-wrenching. Yan Che also had nothing to refute. But it was true that he had the ambition to unify the whole land, and now it has become this situation......
The man ignored Yan Che anymore and walked alone. Just when Yan Che wanted to keep up, he suddenly felt a familiar aura. He saw a figure on the withered tree beside him, and the "man" hiding behind the tree seemed to have waited for the man to leave before Yan Che could sense him. After the figure revealed its face, Yan Che saw that this person was not a human, but a god of food.
"It's good to have you here. Yan Che said.
"With me, the situation will not improve in the future. The god of food replied.
"No, it will improve. If you want to keep it, it will definitely change. β
"Hope, ridiculous! You've spent a night underground, and you've seen the people there, and who has a look like they're hopeful for tomorrow?"
Yan Che also laughed and said, "Humans, they always want to watch others start to take action, and they will keep up. It's just that there is a lack of such a person to lead everyone. β
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. In the past few days, I have been guiding them to find the ingredients of human beings, and it will be more difficult today. β
"Where's the difficulty?"
"The place where the humans went just now is where the crocodile lives. If you want to eat a full meal, just grab a crocodile and eat it, or you won't get anything today. β
"Listening to you, it seems that this is the only way to do it. β
As soon as the words fell, the man who walked in front shouted. Yan Che hurriedly caught up, and the God of Food disappeared. When Yan Che got behind the man, he found that the man was confronting a mud crocodile.
This swamp-dwelling crocodile is not very large, with a length of less than one and a half meters, which is considered a relatively small crocodile. But an adult man is still a little weaker than this carnivore. The man's path was blocked by the crocodile, and the crocodile seemed to use the man as food, and when the man retreated, he moved forward, so that the man did not dare to escape easily.
Yan Che came to the man's side, and the man said, "It's useless if you come, let's find a way to go." β
The man wanted to retreat, but Yan Che persuaded: "If you leave, won't you find nothing today?" I think this crocodile is similar to a snake, and it should be edible. β
"There are indeed people in Yunguo who hunt and kill crocodiles, but they must be in groups, and they can only catch one by numbers, otherwise they will be killed. You have no power, no strength at all, what can you do?"
Yan Che smiled: "I'm not afraid of death, is this okay?"
Yan Che's understatement made the man dumbfounded, and he felt that Yan Che said such a big sentence, did he really feel that he still had the demeanor of the past, and he was no longer a lost dog? Yan Che knew that the man would not believe him, so he just let the man retreat and deal with it himself. The man didn't like Yan Che in the first place, and when he heard that Yan Che was going to die, of course he had to make way for him.
Next, there is the footage of Yan Che fighting hand-to-hand with a creeping creature. Yan Che and a crocodile were rolling in the mud. Facing a carnivore alone, Yan Che was not afraid, pressed his body against the crocodile, and clasped his hands tightly, just to prevent the crocodile's mouth from biting him. Yan Che's fight made the man feel a little shocked, and Yan Che was on a par with the crocodile, and he had already crushed the crocodile to the point that he could no longer move. Although the man has a lot of unhappiness with Yan Che, this crocodile can indeed feed many people once, and for the sake of the team, he can't affect the overall situation because of selfishness. He groped his way out of the mud and slammed the stone at the crocodile as Yan Che suppressed it.
After the crocodile stopped moving, Yan Che got up, wiped the mud off his face, and said to the man with a smile, "I thought your stone was used to kill me." β
The man replied disdainfully, "I want to kill you, but I still have to bring back the food." I'm going to kill you, how can I bring back such a big crocodile?"
Yan Che smiled bitterly, and then the man asked him to help, and the two of them carried the crocodile back together.
This is the second day of Yan Che's life in the world, and I don't know how many such days are waiting for him. I don't know when my body will recover, as long as I still think that Fu Qinggu is still alive, I keep hope.
In addition to Fu Qinggu, there is also Jiang Mengsheng.
Jiang Mengsheng was led into the bottomless abyss by Yan Tiege and closed the abyss. In the abyss, after Yan Tiege transferred the runes on Jiang Mengsheng's body to himself, just like Yan Che, his meridians were broken. Jiang Mengsheng thought about treating Yan Tiege, but her healing ability was like a drop in the bucket for Yan Tiege, whose body had become aging. And even if the entrance to the abyss is closed, there are many monsters walking in the abyss who want to continue to enter the human world.
After Yan Tiege brought Jiang Mengsheng into the abyss, it didn't take long for monsters to encounter them. With Yan Tiege's current situation, it is still a little difficult to deal with these monsters, and it is even more difficult to be distracted to protect Jiang Mengsheng. Fortunately, this abyss was designed by Yan Tiege and Yan Tiexin together, and he could change the structure of the abyss at will. Just as the monster was about to rush towards them, Yan Tiege changed the internal structure of the abyss and immediately disappeared from the monster's eyes.
After moving to a safe place, Yan Tiege lay on the ground and had to rest for a long time. Jiang Mengsheng has nothing to do now, he cares about the world, and he doesn't know what is going on in the world outside the abyss. Yan Tiege didn't tell her that the world is already purgatory now, but I'm afraid that if I tell her the truth, Jiang Mengsheng will definitely not be able to bear himself, and he will get out of the abyss and do something, even if he can't do anything effective.
Jiang Mengsheng saw that Yan Tiege was resting, so it was not easy to disturb. In this strange abyss, she had nowhere to go, but to wait for Yan Tiege to wake up so that he could take her out. So after Yan Tiege fell asleep, Jiang Mengsheng also found a place to sleep.
However, Yan Tiege didn't really fall asleep. He waited for Jiang Mengsheng to fall asleep before waking up, and then transferred himself to the original abyss. He knew that the way to restore his body was to eat meat. And I also know that eating the meat of monsters will make me crazy, so if you want to eat normal meat, you must return to the human world or the demon world. He chose to go to the human world, because in addition to the ingredients, he also wanted something he had to get backβthe magic sword.
Although the black-robed wizard sealed the magic sword, no one could take the magic sword away, so the magic sword was still left near the exit of the bottomless abyss, that is, on Jiufeng Mountain. However, Yan Zhan didn't just throw the Yan Demon Sword there, he knew that Yan Che might get the Yan Demon Sword back, so he asked the black-robed wizard Qianhuang to take care of the Demon Sword himself.
The current Yan Tiege is not the opponent of the Dry Waste, he walked out of the entrance of the abyss, wanting to hide his breath, but the Dry Waste guarding the entrance has already set up a reconnaissance enchantment, and Yan Tiege will know it as soon as he comes out of the abyss. Yan Tiege touched the barrier and knew that there was an ambush nearby, so he had to flee quickly. Qianhuang wanted to deal with Yan Tiege in person, so he chased after him. Neither Qianhuang nor Yan Tiege expected that not long after Yan Tiege left, there were still people coming out of the bottomless abyss.
That person is Jiang Mengsheng.
How did Jiang Mengsheng get out? It turned out that when Yan Tiege left, the "Book of Eternity" he had with him was left behind. Jiang Mengsheng woke up and found that Yan Tiege had disappeared, and only saw a book left on the ground. This book is invisible to mortals, but Jiang Mengsheng is a descendant of the Nuwa clan, inheriting the goddess's primordial god, and he can just flip through the book. When she opened the book, she first saw that it was a wordless book, and she was very curious. Later, she thought about where Yan Tiege went, this "Book of Eternity" happened to be able to read the thoughts of people who read books, so she told her Yan Tiege's whereabouts, and she knew that Yan Tiege had walked out of the abyss, and at the same time understood the use of this book.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with the picture she wanted to see: that was the right route out of the abyss.
Relying on "The Book of Eternity", Jiang Mengsheng walked out of the abyss alone. After walking out of the abyss, she was completely shocked to see the bleak picture, and there was only one thought in her heart: What happened to this world?
She thought about Yan Che's life and death, but the book only described that Yan Che was defeated by Yan Zhan and that his meridians were all broken, and there was no more description later. The records in this book are generated by the experience of the holder, and Yan Tiege does not know Yan Che's situation, so naturally there will be no content in the book.
Jiang Mengsheng closed the book, and his heart was full of grief. She knew that there was danger everywhere now, but she still decided to enter the danger without hesitation, and use her faith to shine a light in this dark earth, so that those who were thrown in the darkness would not lose themselves and could see hope.
