Chapter 1239: Dark History!(3 more)
"Tianchi Island?"
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of puzzlement.
"Oh, Childe is from the outside world, so I probably don't know very well. The old woman shook her head and continued: "This place was originally supposed to be called the Sea of Miracles, because the great battle between the two powerful men five hundred years ago shattered the space, and the area of the Sea of Miracles, along with several surrounding islands, were all swept into that chaotic space. ”
"Tianchi Island was the most populous island at that time, at that time, according to historical records, Tianchi Island should be called, Jiumu City. ”
"Nine Pasture City!"
Ling Feng and Lin Mu's faces changed at the same time, it turned out that the people of Jiumu City were really all involved in the sea of miracles!
The old woman nodded and continued: "Our ancestors, at the beginning, thought that they were already dead, but who knew that they were lucky to survive in this place. They all thanked the gods, believing that this was a great calamity and that there would be blessings in the future. ”
"That's good. Lin Mu smiled and said, "It's better to be alive than to be all dead." ”
"But the real catastrophe has just begun!"
Ma Chunhua shook her head, frowned deeply, and said: "In the first ten years, the ancestors looked for a way out, but gradually, they found that the space inside this sea of miracles was extremely unstable, and from time to time some strange black holes would appear, swallowing people into it, and those who swallowed it never came out again." ”
"Time and space rift!" Ling Feng and Lin Mu glanced at each other, this was the situation inside the Sea of Miracles, even in the depths of the Sea of Miracles, the rules of time and space were equally unstable.
"Not only that, after the first hundred years have passed, people can only settle down and start to multiply in Tianchi Island after they find that they can no longer leave here. ”
"In that case, the ancestors of Jiumu City decided to live here, why did you escape from Tianchi Island?"
Ling Feng had a trace of doubt in his heart, judging from the old woman's hurried look when he saw them before, it was completely like seeing a ghost.
Ma Chunhua's face gradually filled with a trace of fear: "Childe listened to me slowly, the original Tianchi Island may have been a paradise inside the Sea of Miracles, but now, it has completely changed!"
"From the second hundred years onwards, the monks of Tianchi Island found that in Tianchi Island, because of the lack of heaven and earth aura, their cultivation had begun to stagnate, and even began to regress. And the most direct consequence of the regression of cultivation is that those monks who originally had a lifespan of hundreds of years have gradually become ordinary people and cannot resist the passage of time. This made the monks start to panic. ”
"Heaven and earth have changed drastically, and there is a lack of aura. Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, this was indeed a very serious problem.
"And then came a more serious problem. ”
Ma Chunhua's body trembled slightly, "Originally, those monks, because they could absorb spiritual energy, did not need to eat, so the food stored inside Tianchi Island was miraculously maintained for a hundred years. But after the monks also began to feel hungry, everything changed. ”
"They eat more than ordinary people, and they need to eat like crazy to barely maintain their strength. Later, the food was soon eaten, but the monks, still unable to fill their stomachs, began to eat tree bark, grass roots, and soil. Everything that can be stuffed into the stomach, they are devouring it like crazy. Until the end......"
Ma Chunhua's voice paused, and her old eyes were full of tears, as if she was talking about something she didn't want to think about.
"Cannibalism?"
Ling Feng clenched his fists, when everything that could be eaten was eaten, the last step might be to eat people.
At that time, humanity had completely collapsed and become extinct!
"Yes!" Ma Chunhua nodded, "Those frail monks, hungry to the point of madness, began to target their own kind. In the beginning, they just ate the dead. ”
"There was no way, there were too many people starving to death, and they watched the corpses of the dead decompose, and they couldn't stand the feeling of hunger and began to eat people. From that moment on, the nightmare enveloped the entire Tianchi Island!"
"The hungry monks found that eating human flesh could actually counteract their hunger, make them feel full, and regain their strength! ”
"Soon, those crazy monks, because of cannibalism, gained a terrifying power, and they united to defeat the original city lord of Jiumu City, the Venerable of the Five Elements. They cut off the head of the Venerable of the Five Elements, they tore off the flesh and blood of the Venerable of the Five Elements piece by piece, and ate him alive in front of everyone's eyes!"
"Since then, the truly dark years have finally begun!"
"Bang!"
Lin Mu slapped his palm on the table and scolded: "It's so hateful! It's just too hateful, where is that human being, it's even inferior to a demon beast! Even a demon beast doesn't devour its own kind!"
Ma Chunhua said sadly: "They are no longer human. After brutally devouring the Five Elements Venerable, the first group of man-eating monks ruled over all the humans in Jiumu City. They kept humans in captivity, one of which was used as rations for them to devour at any time, and the rest were given to them as slaves to find food and open up space outside. ”
"Everyone knows that the Sea of Miracles is full of that kind of terrible black hole, and if they leave Tianchi Island, there is an extremely high probability that they will die, but under the pressure of force, they have to go out to explore. ”
"The darkness lasted for more than two hundred years, and after sacrificing countless people, people finally found food that could be grown, plus those cannibalistic monks, in these two hundred years, too many humans were eaten, and the output of food was barely enough for the remaining less than 100,000 humans to eat, and the cannibalistic frenzy gradually subsided. ”
Ling Feng and Lin Mu both gasped, they had eaten for two hundred years, Jiumu City was the largest force in the Inland Sea at that time, and its population was probably more prosperous than today's Heavenly Desolate City, and the number was only more than three million.
Plus those who starved to death, those who were eaten, and those who survived in the end were less than 100,000?
It was a terrible history, a history of endless darkness!
"And what about later?" Ling Feng asked, "Since you have found enough food, the custom of cannibalism should gradually be replaced by civilization, right?"
"No, not really!"
Ma Chunhua's eyes showed infinite horror, "Those monks who have eaten people, only later found out that they can no longer quit the habit of cannibalism, they have gained a terrible power from the human body, even if they eat more other food, they can't satisfy their hunger, only by constantly eating people, can maintain that power, so, even five hundred years later, there are less than 100,000 humans on Tianchi Island, but there are still more than half of the human beings, who are kept in captivity by them, and may suffer the fate of being devoured at any time......"
"When I was young, I was originally a singer, but later, when I was old and decrepit, I was also thrown into the circle of people, raised in captivity, and what was waiting for me was to be served on a plate and eaten alive!"
Speaking of excitement, Ma Chunhua was already in tears, howling and crying, "But I don't want to, I don't want to be eaten, ten years ago, because those cannibalistic monks encountered a terrible strong enemy, so, I had a chance, I found a small boat, all the way to escape here, in a blink of an eye, it has been ten years." ”
