Cao Xiaoyang didn't understand Bai Ying's words, and then the surroundings suddenly darkened, and he couldn't see his fingers.

Cao Xiaoyang was a little panicked and began to call out to Master, but he didn't get a response from Bai Ying.

Suddenly, Cao Xiaoyang felt a cold hand grab his ankle, and he wanted to kick that hand with his other foot, but at this moment, his feet suddenly emptied, and his whole body began to fall down.

Cao Xiaoyang felt that he had fallen into a bottomless pit, because he had fallen downward for a minute and had not touched the ground, and in his panic, he thought that if he fell from such a high height, he would definitely be crushed to pieces when he landed on the ground.

But just after falling for a while, Cao Xiaoyang gradually felt his body float up and stopped falling, just when he was a little confused, suddenly a strange force moved forward with him at a rapid pace.

Because it was pitch black all around, Cao Xiaoyang couldn't see anything, he only felt like a piece of fat on a chopping board, being tossed around at will.

After a while, he found that a white bright spot appeared directly in front of him, and then the bright spot became larger little by little, Cao Xiaoyang felt that he was in a tunnel, and he was about to rush out in front of him.

With a whistling sound in his ears, Cao Xiaoyang felt that he had fallen from the sky to the ground, and his vision in front of him finally widened.

After his eyes adjusted to the bright light, Cao Xiaoyang looked around carefully and found that he was now in an ancient city full of ruins.

Surrounded by ruins and some houses that were still burning, Cao Xiaoyang was a little at a loss for a while, he was obviously in a barber shop just now, why did he suddenly end up in such a ghost place?

He called out to Bai Ying again, but there was only an ethereal echo around him.

In desperation, he had to walk forward little by little along the road between the ruins, and then he found that there were some people's corpses lying on both sides of the road, but these corpses were incomplete, missing arms and legs, and there were many blood stains around, Cao Xiaoyang felt that these corpses seemed to have been eaten by something.

Cao Xiaoyang continued to walk forward, and gradually he saw some scrawny pedestrians, all of them in ragged clothes and messy hair, and their bodies were dirty like beggars.

Whenever Cao Xiaoyang approached them, they would always run away in a panic.

At this time, in front of the road, a man and a woman led a child staggered over, and Cao Xiaoyang found that the man and woman were already skinny, but the woman had a big belly.

Their child's body resembles that of a monkey, but it has a large head, which is clearly also caused by chronic hunger.

Cao Xiaoyang approached them, they still looked panicked and wanted to run away, but at this moment, there was a panicked cry from the other end of the road, Cao Xiaoyang looked back, and the listless people on the road just now began to desperately flee towards the surrounding ruins.

Cao Xiaoyang didn't understand what was going on for a while, and then suddenly saw some black shadows in the distance approaching this side, and the men and women around Cao Xiaoyang ran too quickly, so that the big-headed child was left behind.

Cao Xiaoyang still didn't understand what was happening, and at this time, a black shadow had rushed in front of him, and it happened that there was a corpse lying on the side of the road next to Cao Xiaoyang, and the black image pounced directly on the corpse like a wild dog.

What followed was the bloody and terrifying tearing and gnawing picture, Cao Xiaoyang was shocked to watch, and he was stunned for a while.

A thought crossed his mind that if it had eaten the corpse, his next target might be himself.

So he followed the men and began to run for his life, and he also picked up the big-headed child.

At this time, there were more and more black shadows, flying between the ruins like a group of wild beasts, because Cao Xiaoyang was here for the first time, and he didn't know where to flee to be safe, he seemed a little flustered for a while.

At this time, he suddenly heard a shouting sound, and when he looked back, he saw that the parents of the big-headed child were hiding in a cave under the ruins and beckoning to him, Cao Xiaoyang hurriedly took the child to hide in.

After entering the cave, the parents of the big-headed children held Cao Xiaoyang's hand and shook it in gratitude, and Cao Xiaoyang found that although they could shout at the top of their voices, they didn't seem to be able to speak.

Therefore, no matter what questions Cao Xiaoyang asked them, they couldn't answer them, Cao Xiaoyang lay at the entrance of the cave, listening to the sounds outside, and was afraid and uneasy, where he was here.

The whistling and screaming outside the cave continued for hours, until it was dark and the outside became quiet.

After nightfall, the temperature here plummeted, and Cao Xiaoyang, who was wearing short-sleeved shorts, was shivering with cold. The parents of the big-headed child built a bonfire and took a few pieces of the rhizome of an unknown plant and grilled it on the fire.

After it was baked, they gave Cao Xiaoyang a piece, Cao Xiaoyang was already very hungry, but he really had no appetite for this black thing, so he shook his head.

The big-headed boy and his parents ate the roasted rhizomes cleanly, but the thing didn't seem to be hungry at all, and within a few minutes of eating their stomachs were rumbling again.

Cao Xiaoyang looked at their sallow faces, thinking that they must have lived such a hungry life for a long time, so they became like this.

That night, the big-headed child gave Cao Xiaoyang a bunch of dead grass, and Cao Xiaoyang wrapped the dead grass around his body to keep out the cold before he barely fell asleep.

Late at night, Cao Xiaoyang heard a woman's cry in pain, and after the bonfire went out, he couldn't see his fingers around, and Cao Xiaoyang curled up in the straw pile and shivered.

He wondered in his mind that although he didn't know what the hell this place was, he had to find a way to escape.

The next morning, the big-headed child retrieved a piece of bark from the outside, put it in the pot and boiled it into a pot of soup, he took a bowl and handed it to Cao Xiaoyang, Cao Xiaoyang still shook his head, no appetite.

The eldest child served two more bowls to his parents, but they didn't eat either.

At this time, Cao Xiaoyang noticed that the big belly of the mother of the big-headed child yesterday was gone, he thought of the woman's cry last night, and understood that it should be the mother of the big-headed child last night who gave birth to a child, but the strange thing is that at this time, he didn't see the child in their hands.

Cao Xiaoyang thought that under the famine, maybe she gave birth to a stillborn baby, so she didn't dare to ask too much.

During the day, the big-headed child took Cao Xiaoyang outside to look for food, Cao Xiaoyang asked him how to get out of here, but he kept shaking his head, there was no way Cao Xiaoyang had to follow him, thinking about understanding the surrounding situation before looking for a way out.

It's so desolate that there's hardly any greenery to be seen except for the ruins, and the occasional dead tree has been stripped of its skin.

After that, the big-headed child took Cao Xiaoyang to a stinky ditch full of black silt, and he jumped into the mud and touched it for more than an hour, and finally found a few plant rhizomes and a few worms similar to earthworms.

A smile appeared on the face of the big-headed child, as if it had been a good harvest.

Cao Xiaoyang gradually discovered that the big-headed child could fully understand what he said, but his inability to speak affected the communication between the two.

Cao Xiaoyang probably understood through his gestures that those black shadows yesterday liked to eat people, but they would only appear every afternoon, and as long as they hid in the cave every afternoon, there would be no danger.

Back in the cave, the big-headed kid boiled a large pot of soup with plant roots and insects, which seemed to him to be a very rare delicacy.

Although Cao Xiaoyang's stomach was growling with hunger, he still couldn't accept this thing.

The strange thing is that Cao Xiaoyang found that the child's parents obviously grabbed the roots and stems of those plants and ate them with relish last night, but today they didn't eat a bite, and after thinking about it, he felt that maybe this was because the parents didn't eat it for the sake of the child's fullness.

At noon, the big-headed boy ate the pot of soup by himself, and looked at him as if he was still a little unsatisfied, while his parents had been sleeping in the innermost part of the cave.

In the afternoon, those black shadows really appeared again, Cao Xiaoyang was frightened by the sound outside the cave, thinking that he couldn't spend it here, even if he hid here and wouldn't be eaten by those black shadows, he would definitely starve to death.

So he planned to leave here tonight, and in order to conserve his strength, he took advantage of the time when the black shadow was active and slept with straw wrapped in straw for a while.

When he woke up, it was already dark, and Cao Xiaoyang opened his eyes to find that the parents of the big-headed child were eating something around the campfire in the innermost part of the cave, but the big-headed child was nowhere to be seen.

The smoke from the campfire was mixed with the smell of burnt meat, and Cao Xiaoyang felt a little strange, when did they find the meat?

He didn't want to worry too much about it because he was going to leave, so he walked towards the couple, intending to say goodbye to them and thank them for taking care of them for the past two days.

But Cao Xiaoyang tripped over something similar to a stone under his feet as soon as he took a step, he groaned, slowly got up from the ground, and then picked up the "stone" that tripped over him.

This Duxi was a little wet in his hands, and there was a plush on it, Cao Xiaoyang held it and looked at the light of the bonfire, almost scaring his soul away.

This is actually the head of the big-headed kid!

He looked closely at the bonfire, and there was not the meat of the big-headed child roasting around it.

The parents of the big-headed child looked at Cao Xiaoyang with hungry wolf-like eyes, Cao Xiaoyang didn't care too much, and rushed out of the cave, but when he looked back, the parents of the big-headed child also chased him out, and at the same time, there were many figures running out of the surrounding ruins.

Cao Xiaoyang said in his heart that something was wrong, if he was caught up by them, he would definitely not escape the fate of being eaten, so he ran forward desperately.

But because he hadn't eaten for two days, his body was already so hungry that he didn't have any energy at all, and he slowed down after a few steps.
