Chapter 42: Human Nature
Inside the Tower of Babel, that uneasiness gradually turned into panic, and anxiety turned into rage.
"Fuck, a month, we're going to have to wait to die!"
"It's better that this Babel Tower has been refined, but fortunately, I can die a happy death!"
"What are you arguing about, the young sect master and the great protector haven't eaten or drunk!"
......
3rd, 5th...... On the seventh day, at last, some people couldn't hold it anymore. Even if the physical functions of the soul martial arts and the great demon far exceed those of ordinary people, they still have to eat and drink water after all. Those people had yellow and thin faces, chapped lips, blank eyes, and severe dehydration.
At this time, Chu Xiong and others, who were closed on the seventh floor, were also struggling to persevere. Fortunately, after listening to Chu Xiong's persuasion, everyone didn't even say a word, and maintained their physical strength to the maximum, and the situation was slightly better than those at the bottom. Especially Chu Xiong, his understanding of body structure is far beyond ordinary people. The operation of the meridians and the rest of the body are in the best state. It is precisely because of this that he is more persistent than others.
This related method, Chu Xiong also told Qing Dai and Yu Qi and others. However, except for Qingdai, which can be understood and mastered quickly, others are still relatively unfamiliar, and the effect is minimal.
At this moment, Yihan, who was pale, suddenly opened his small backpack tremblingly, and said to Chu Xiong: "Uncle Chu, I'm here...... And a little bit of jerky...... and water...... Let's divide it. β
Everyone's eyes lit up, but when they looked at it, they dimmed. The water is only half a pot, and the jerky is less than half a catty.
But at this time, even a little bit of food and water can keep people going on for a day or two, or even more. Chu Xiong smiled: "It's rare that you are so attentive and know that it will be saved until this time." A few of you women are divided, Xingao and I will wait. Xingao, no comment. β
Xingao closed his eyes tightly, didn't bother to speak, and just popped out a word: "Okay." β
Yuqi was different, and when she went to Yihan, she divided a small piece of dried meat into six portions and handed it over to everyone equally, including Chu Xiong and Xing Ao. Let Yihan drink a sip of water first, and then turn the kettle in everyone's hands, and everyone took a sip.
With this food and water, the situation is very different. Of course, eating it aroused a stronger appetite, making everyone thirstier and hungrier. But this is only a sensory response, but the improvement in bodily function is obvious.
Everyone was reluctant to drink more, and in the end, there was a small glass of water left. Chu Xiong picked up the little bit of water, got up slowly, and said, "If you have some left, give a little to the Great Protector and the Young Sect Master." Do you have no opinion, right? Hold on for another five days, and I'll hand over Bigu Dan to you. I'll distribute it now, I'm really afraid that everyone won't be able to stand the temptation, so I'll eat it in advance. β
There was no opinion. Because in this small group, Chu Xiong is the authority. This authority does not come from status and strength, but from personality and camaraderie.
So, Chu Xiong slowly opened the door and walked towards the room of Youda and Xuyue with his hands on the railing. And those people on the first floor were a little sensitive, and when they looked up, they saw Chu Xiong's almost staggering figure.
"God, Chu Keqing! I still have the strength to walk!"
"Is he a one-star soul martial artist, pervert!"
Chu Xiong didn't bother to pay attention to this, and walked straight into Youda's room. Seeing Chu Xiong come in, Youda, who was sitting cross-legged, raised her eyes a little weakly and said, "Thank you, but I don't need Bigu Dan for the time being." β
Chu Xiong took out the kettle from his arms and handed it over with a smile: "Yihan's girl left, there is still a little left, you and Xuyue each take a sip." β
Youda looked at Chu Xiong, as if looking at a monster. This man's approach seems to be really unusual. It's been seven days, which is close to the limit of ordinary people. At this time, it is time to expose the deepest things in the human heart. Could it be that this Chu Xiong is really still in this state deep in his heart? If so, it is really rare.
At this point, the enchanter was no longer humble and raised the kettle to take a sip. Suddenly, a feeling of being in a desperate situation arose. Although it is not enough to solve the problem, the dry body and meridians are fortunately nourished at the most basic level.
"And this bit of jerky, you and Xuyue are each half. Chu Xiong took out his share of jerky, divided it in half, and gave it to Youda to one of them. "Go to my room, and there will be some kind of care. If you don't have the strength to do it, I'm afraid that you won't even have the strength to open your mouth to open your mouth to Bigu Dan. β
Youda smiled and nodded, then got up and went out with Chu Xiong. Chu continued to look for Xuyue, and Youda went to the room where Chu Xiong and the others were.
At this time, Xuyue's situation was far worse than that of Enchantment. First, her strength is not as good as that of Youda, and secondly, her heart is not as indifferent as that of Youda. And at such times, a detached and calm state of mind can definitely support people for more time.
Chu Xiong came to Xuyue's side and put the mouth of the kettle against Xuyue's dry mouth. The red lips that were once full of temptation are now severely dehydrated, and even white.
Feeling the water, the almost semi-conscious Xuyue immediately drank it all. slowly opened his eyes, but saw that it was Chu Xiong supporting him. Xuyue, who was already exhausted, leaned almost instinctively into Chu Xiong's arms. I don't even have the strength to say "thank you". Fortunately, this saliva of water made her recover a lot.
Chu Xiong crushed the little bit of jerky left in his hand and put it in her mouth. The void moon swallowed it, and he didn't even know the taste. But for her, a lifetime of food is not as precious as this bite of jerky.
"It's hard for you......" Xuyue finally spoke.
"Go, come to me. Chu Xiong held her weak arm and got up and went out. The so-called thinking about those things after being full, Chu Xiong really doesn't feel it at all now. Even if Xuyue's plump chest was clinging to his arm, he didn't seem to be aware of it.
As soon as they walked out of the room, Chu Xiong and Xu Yue heard a commotion below. When I looked down, I saw an incredible scene.
I saw a disciple who looked like a three-star soul martial artist, finally couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground dying. And a slender woman actually attached her head to his neck. Blood flowed from the man's neck, and Chu Xiong and Xuyue were shocked! The womanβ
In the bloodsucking!
Under the pressure of hunger and thirst, the ultimate nature of man is finally revealed!
"Jin Protector, you dare to ......" A four-star soul martial sect deacon was furious, but he didn't have the strength to stop it at all, and even standing was a problem.
And the brocade protector, that is, the woman who sucked blood, raised her neck, and seemed to be unusually comfortable, and her pale face also regained a hint of brilliance. Then she turned around coldly and looked at the four-star deacon who had just spoken, "Old puppet, if you talk more, I will kill you!"
This brocade protector is a brocade mink, with the strength of a medium five-ring demon. Now that he has just replenished some physical strength, he can naturally easily kill most of the people in the tower.
Hearing the Jin Protector's reprimand, the four-star soul martial artist seemed to be a little afraid. In such crazy moments, it is indeed possible for something terrible to happen.
However, that doesn't mean everyone is afraid. I don't know who scolded, "A beast is a beast after all! All human disciples come here!"
As a result, thirteen humans gathered to the left of the hall on the first floor, while the six Dharma Protector Demons gathered on the right. In the middle, lies the corpse of the human who died by sucking blood.
At this time, a situation of opposition has been formed. Whoever it is, as long as they shout, it is possible to detonate everything and cause an unprecedented civil war!
"You're only allowed to kill, aren't you...... Don't you allow us to kill demons? Lao Tzu before, but he was born in Orion, hum!" A low-grade five-star soul martial artist's eyes emitted a vicious light, staring at the six Dharma Protectors opposite.
The average strength of the Dharma Protector is strong, and the Jin Dharma Protector also replenishes some energy. However, the human disciples are not vegetarians either, not to mention that the number of them has doubled. The real fight, it is not yet known who will kill the deer.
"Yes, a big demon, we won't be able to eat it all in three months!" said the other man with squinted eyes.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately reminded you. Yes, the big demon has a huge body. Even if it is a four-star demon, his body is at least a few feet, and he has more than a dozen cows on top of him. Not to mention three months, it's no problem to support for a year!
But Chu Xiong and Xuyue above knew that it would not be good to really fight. You humans kill the beast demons for food, and the rest of the beast demons are terrified all day long, how can you give up? In this way, the hatred can only continue to escalate, and in the end, there may only be one person left!
Xuyue said angrily: "What's wrong with you!"
At this point, Enchanda seemed to hear something. As the Great Dharma Protector, she has the duty to maintain the necessary stability. "Jin Protector, you're too bold. β
There was a commotion at the bottom, and the young sect master and the great protector spoke at the same time, which immediately made everyone feel a lot more at ease. I only heard the demon da say: "The matter is over, if anyone uses swords again, or eats the flesh and blood of the same family, he will be punished for harming the same family." I'll enforce the law myself!"
Even if it was a weak seven-ring demon, it still had great majesty, and everyone suddenly didn't dare to speak. But not daring to speak does not mean that everyone's mood is really calm. Because in their eyes, the people on the other side are already fresh food, not some siblings!
"Great Protector, could it be that the sin of the Jin Protector who harmed the same sect will not be stopped?" The five-star soul martial artist asked Youda.
"Naturally not. If she can break out of the Tower of Babel, I will personally punish her by lowering her cultivation by one realm. Youda said indifferently. What Youda means is that in this harsh environment, the actions of the Jin Protector may be a normal reaction. Thinking that she is the first case, she will no longer be overly pursued. Of course, there will still be penalties. But Enchantment didn't notice that there was a big hole in her words.
"Hmph, as the leader of the Dharma Protector Group, is it just to protect your subordinates?" the five-star soul martial artist said angrily, "Young Sect Master, you can judge. If it is really dealt with in this way according to the Great Protector, then well, we also have to eat the flesh and blood of the Jin Protector, and after we get out of the Tower of Babel, how about we are willing to lower our cultivation by one realm?"
"Yes, we are also willing to lower our cultivation!"
"One realm, two realms don't matter! Life and death are uncertain, and whether they can survive or not is a question!"
As a result, a group of human disciples had different opinions.
At this moment, the Dharma Protector also knew that he had committed the wrath of the people. And even more embarrassing is the enchantment, because she was originally trying to calm the anger of the people, but unexpectedly made the situation worse.
At this moment, Chu Xiong had already walked downstairs and directly faced everyone and the big demons.
