The sky gradually darkened, and Ren Xing and Feng Xiaoyao, who were running away, had already left Wenhai Town far away, and they were now in an abandoned factory. The number of ghosts here is obviously much less, and there are only a few weak ghosts wandering outside, and most of these weak ghosts are destined for Wenhai City. The breath of life is the strongest there, and the breath of life is something that the ghost instinctively desires, and the ghost who absorbs a large amount of the breath of life can complete the evolution from a weak ghost to a long ghost.

After raising the fire and resting for the night, the two continued on their way. Soon, the two of them reached the eastern hills described in the mission, which was a hilly area, with a continuous stream of large and small hills, and the land was uneven, and it was impossible to distinguish which was the eastern hill designated by the mission, and occasionally one or two dead trees stood alone on the scorched earth, revealing the ruins of the place. It was once a forested summer resort, but after the Hope incident, the hill was transformed into what it is today under the ravages of war.

It is not easy to find the two children hidden in the cave from such a dense hill, and the rudimentary life detector worn by Ren Xing and the two is difficult to detect the depths of the cave covered with mud.

Although the distribution of ghosts in this vicinity is not dense, the number is still very large, and Ren Xing does not dare to shout loudly, trying to restrain his life breath by holding his breath, and occasionally there will be sporadic weak ghosts who find Ren Xing's traces, but they are also easily solved by Ren Xing.

In the hidden cave, the boy and girl were still cowering in the corner, the boy holding a golden fruit in his hand, looking at the glimmer of light at the entrance of the cave with fear and expectation. They are a brother and sister who have been living in the Eden human settlement.

The Eden Gathering Place is the first spontaneous gathering place of human beings, and Wenhai City, which relies on the original urban construction of the gathering place, the appearance of the Eden Gathering Place is only because of a large dense forest, this dense forest provides food for the displaced people at that time, and also provides shelter from the wind and rain.

Subsequently, more and more people gathered here, farmland was reclaimed, houses were built, and civilization developed, and in gratitude for the Eden-like environment given by God, it was called the Eden Gathering Place.

The Eden Gathering Place does not have a natural barrier surrounded by the sea on three sides like Wenhai City, it is located on a large plain, but this dense forest seems to have magical power, covering the life breath of the people inside, so that the ghosts have no way to find them, so the Eden Gathering Place has been continued.

However, the good times do not last long, the development of mankind is always accompanied by destruction, the prosperity of one species means the disaster of other species, as the scale of the Eden settlement grows larger, people's desires gradually expand, the ruler wants gorgeous palaces, the rich want exquisite food, and the idle people want entertainment facilities. In order to meet these needs, this dense forest of Eden was cut down on a large scale, and the perennial comfortable human beings forgot about the evil spirits outside and began to enjoy false prosperity.

At the beginning of the felling of the forest, the impact was not so great, only the residents living in the fringe areas occasionally found a few weak ghosts wandering outside the forest, and after noticing this, some people objected, but the rulers did not care and continued to build on a large scale. As the forests were cut down in large quantities, the mysterious power to protect the Eden Gathering became weaker and weaker, and the Eden Gathering was soon exposed to the eyes of the ghosts, and the weakly defended Eden Gathering appeared naked among the wolves, and was soon besieged by the ghosts.

But fortunately, the gods are still looking after Eden, there is a thousand-year-old tree in the center of the Eden village, although it has never borne fruit, but it has been preserved because of its beautiful appearance and long historical atmosphere, when the people of Eden gathering place are defeated under the attack of ghosts, the ancient tree as the center suddenly exudes a golden barrier, protecting the people in Eden, and the ghosts outside cannot enter.

But this protection is not eternal, as there are more and more ghosts outside, the protective barrier of the ancient tree is getting thinner and thinner, which makes the rulers very worried, and they begin to find a way to continue the barrier of the ancient tree, but the rulers who have enjoyed the blessings have long been free from the bloody nature of fighting to the death with the ghosts, and the method they came up with is sacrifice.

They tried to sacrifice their treasures, cattle and sheep to the ancient tree, but they did not get feedback from the ancient tree, and the barrier of the ancient tree weakened every day, and the ruler in despair finally reached out to the forbidden evil fruit - human sacrifice.

The ruler of the Eden Gathering found a couple who had opposed the felling of the forest, tied them up, and threw them in front of the ancient tree, preparing to sacrifice to the ancient tree. The rulers explained to the rest of the people that it was the result of humanity's own making, and that humanity's own blood would pay for it. Everyone thought it was an absurd act, but the rabble silently accepted it, after all, no one wanted to be punished in the place of the couple.

So, with the rain falling from the sky, the executioner sacrificed the couple to the ancient tree.

What these rulers said made sense, the consequences of human beings, need to be paid by the human beings themselves, when the blood of the husband and wife stained the trunk of the tree, the ancient tree collapsed, followed by a flood of evil spirits, on this day, the Eden human gathering place was breached, and the blood stained the earth.

But the ancient tree did not leave nothing, and when it fell, three golden fruits fell on its branches, and these three fruits fell to the brother and sister who hugged and wept each other, and the branches passed by the brother and sister like the caress of their parents.

The siblings were the children of the couple who were sacrificed to the ancient tree.

The brother and sister were frightened by the screams coming from all around, but the branches of the ancient tree gave the two of them a solid place to rely on and hide, and an old and kind voice came from their ears, "Children, don't be afraid, I am the ancient tree next to you, and the time of a thousand years is really short, but now is not the time to sigh, please listen carefully to my next words."

Human beings will always make the same mistakes but still obsessed, I created this Garden of Eden to protect the safety of mankind, but I didn't expect that human beings ended up reaping the consequences. Even so, I still believe that human beings are great, I believe that the couple who planted me thousands of years ago are kind in their hearts, and I also believe that you in front of you are pure, and promise me to live with the fire of humanity. ”

"These three fruits represent bravery, strength and desire, eat the first two fruits, you can escape from this hell, and throw out the fruit of desire, you will get hope and salvation. The spark of humanity is passed on in your hands. Go, you are the Adam and Eve of the new age. ”

The voice of the ancient tree disappeared, and the brother and sister were already holding three golden fruits in their hands at some point, looking at the cruel scene like purgatory around them, the bloodthirsty demons were biting the corpse of the ruler, and the residents who once lived together were infected by the cells of hope to join the group of ghosts, the houses collapsed, the blood mixed with the rain stained the river red, and the Eden gathering place was lifeless.

The elder brother glanced at his sister who was crying beside him, thought of what Gu Shu said just now, gritted his teeth, no longer hesitated, and ate the fruit that represented bravery and strength. In an instant, the elder brother felt that his body was full of strength, and his originally trembling legs stood up firmly at this moment, pulled up his sister who was sitting on the ground, and ran all the way outside avoiding the evil spirit.

I don't know how long it took, the surrounding scenery gradually became barren, and the number of ghosts gradually decreased, but the elder brother's strength also reached the limit, and he collapsed from a hill to death, and with the last bit of strength, the brother and sister climbed into a cave deep in the hills, expecting to be rescued from the outside world.

Today is the second day they have stayed in the cave, because there is no food, the brother's strength has not recovered, the two of them rely on the dew left above the cave to survive, in this dim cave, watching a faint light, the flame of hope in their hearts gradually extinguished.

At this time, the elder brother looked at the only fruit that represented desire in his hand, and he thought that if he ate it, maybe he would be able to gain that kind of power again, so that he could escape with his sister and live in a place where there were humans, but the warning of the ancient tree kept ringing in his ears, so that the elder brother could not make up his mind.

"Throw out the fruits of your desires, and you will find hope and salvation."

How can this kind of thing be done, the only food and escape method for the two brothers and sisters in front of them is on this fruit, how can they say that they will throw it away.

"Just eat, eat and we will be saved, I can get that power again, I can take my sister away again." The elder brother was silently reading, his long-term hunger made his will a little blurred, his hand holding the fruit was trembling, instinct and reason were constantly clashing in his heart, the bloodshot in his eyes became more and more obvious, and the hand holding the fruit leaned towards his mouth little by little.

"Just eat it......"

"Brother!" The younger sister's voice dragged the brother back from the edge of madness.

The brother who came back to his senses hugged his sister tightly and said tremblingly: "I can't do it, I can't do it, this is our only hope, I can't throw it away." ”

"Brother, humans can't afford to make the same mistake again." My sister's voice was low, but it kept echoing in the quiet valley.

The elder brother stayed where he was, completely calmed down, a sunny smile bloomed on his face, and said to his sister: "Thank you, sister, my brother is really incompetent, I want to protect you, how can I worry about you." ”

The younger sister saw the clear color in her brother's eyes, and she also squeezed out a smile of relief.

"It's time to throw the fruit of desire." The boy took the golden fruit in his hand and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"We are the Adam and Eve of the New Age!" The boy threw the fruit out of his hand, and the golden fruit crossed a bright parabola in the sky, like a golden rainbow, shining brilliantly in the sunlight.

At the same time as the fruit landed, a large amount of life breath escaped, instantly filling the entire hill, and almost all the ghosts in this hill turned their heads to look at this side. Watched by a pair of empty eyes, the brother standing at the entrance of the cave was a little unable to support it, but the elder brother did not take half a step back, even if his actions just now were wrong, he would not regret it, as long as human beings have courage and persistence, they will not fail, the moment he threw the fruit of desire, his soul has been redeemed and sublimated.

Not only did the ghost notice the change here, but Ren Xing and Feng Xiaoyao also noticed the escape of a large area of life breath for the first time, and they all rushed over there quickly.

Ren Xing was a little closer to the place where the breath of life escaped, so he rushed there first, and found that thousands of ghosts were gathering in a cave, and there was a golden fruit lying outside the cave, and the breath of life was emitting from it. And there was a young man standing in the cave, the young man was unkempt, and his short golden hair was stained by mud and water and lost its color, but the young man's eyes were full of light, which made Ren Xing feel kind at a glance, the other party and himself should be the same kind of person.

Seeing the boy who urgently needed to be saved, Ren Xing stepped up his pace, rushed to the boy's side, and slashed the weak ghosts who kept crawling backwards.

Looking at the young man with a long knife in front of him and his unkempt hair, the boy couldn't stop crying and shouted to his sister in the cave: "Sister, we are saved!" Shouting this sentence seemed to exhaust all the boy's strength, and the boy fell directly to the ground and fell asleep.

Ren Xing's attention was on the golden fruit under his feet at the moment, and he could see that the target of those ghosts was not the boy or himself, but this fruit. Picked up the golden fruit placed on the ground, and the moment Ren Xing picked up the fruit, the eyes of countless ghosts stared at Ren Xing, which made Ren Xing feel a little chill down his spine, and at the same time, the system prompt came.

[Congratulations on obtaining the Fruit of Desire, this item is a special plot item and cannot be placed in the Space Ring]

【Fruit of Desire】

Type: Consumables

Rank: Silver

Effect 1: Greatly increase the vitality of the body, life rank +1, and increase the physique by 50%.

Effect 2: Excess life force overflows the body, and the ghost leader and weak ghost within 50 meters will give priority to you as the target of attack. (This effect disappears after leaving Hope World)

Description: Greed and lust lead humanity to greatness and lead it to perdition. Eat it and you'll find ...... It's sweet.

After reading these two descriptions, Ren Xing directly stuffed the fruit of desire into his mouth. The fruit of desire has an influence range of far more than fifty meters outside, and if it is left untouched, a large number of ghosts will soon gather nearby, and if the fruit rich in such a rich breath of life is eaten by a ghost, not only can it be killed by the strengthened opponent, but if it is serious, it may directly have a huge impact on the difficulty of the world. And the seemingly negative effect of effect 2 also has a positive effect in some cases, which means that as long as you have your own existence, your partner can not be harmed. After considering these, Ren Xing made a decisive decision and swallowed the fruit of desire into his stomach.

The fruit melts in the mouth, the sweet taste makes Ren Xing feel the happiness he has never experienced, the vigorous vitality flows from the stomach to the surroundings, the warm and refreshing feeling quickly spreads all over the body, Ren Xing feels that his blood vessels, meridians, muscles, and skin have been cleaned and washed, much stronger than before, and the body that was a little tired just now was full of energy.

At the same time, Ren Xing also felt the benefits brought by the improvement of the life level, and the improvement of the life level ushered in an evolution in all aspects of Ren Xing's body, which is not the improvement of various abilities, but the evolution of the biological level, that is to say, Ren Xing has been able to break through the limits of human beings in all aspects.

For example, the human weight limit is about 455kg, but now that Ren Xing's life level has been raised, he can easily surpass this value through exercise, and become a superman in a sense.

If the Code of Greed is to increase one's physical fitness through telekinesis, then the life rank is the possibility of expanding one's body from the body itself, and the combination of the two buffs can exponentially increase Ren Xing's physical fitness.

But at this time, Ren Xing didn't have time to observe his physical condition, there were ghosts all over the mountains in front of him, and these ghosts were staring at him tightly, like crazy, the ghosts in the entire hilly area kept gathering, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it was to himself.

Didn't wait for the wind to be free, Ren Xing rushed into the cave to take out his sister, picked up the brother and sister and rushed to the road back to Wenhai City, at this moment Ren Xing is like a humanoid magnet, the ghosts within 50m are attracted to the side, after a while, there are a large number of weak ghosts behind him, and there are several ghost chiefs with a fierce atmosphere, even in the Wenhai front-line battlefield, Ren Xing has not enjoyed this kind of treatment.

On the way to escape, Ren Xing happened to meet Feng Xiaoyao who came to investigate the situation, Feng Xiaoyao looked at Ren Xing followed by a long list of ghosts, his face twitched slightly, "What's the situation with you?" ”

Ren Xing was also a little helpless, and said: "Do you believe me when I say I'm running a marathon with them?" ”

"Run faster than a hammer!" Feng Xiaoyao took the sister Ren Xing was carrying, and hurried forward. The current situation can no longer be solved by personal strength, and these ghosts who have fallen into madness can only be lured to Wenhai City, and they can be dealt with by firepower.
