Chapter 1 Life is like a mustard, a thought of life and death

On the vast metal land, a low village, standing alone.

The village is made up of slum-like conjoined buildings, with a low, eerie structure that blends in with the metal earth below...... Stretch to a part above the surface!

At this moment, in the square in the center of the village, hundreds of villagers are huddled together tremblingly.

Around them, there were countless black holes of guns, and Imperial soldiers armed to the teeth.

"Is your village's share in the past half a year only a little bit?" The Imperial Officer led by him kicked the wooden box placed in the center of the square, and casually fished out a bloodstained cloudy crystal from the wooden box, and roared with a gloomy face. The ferocious appearance made many villagers shudder, and their cloudy eyes were full of horror.

At this moment, among the panicked villagers, a teenager was watching everything with cold eyes.

The young man has black hair and black eyes, a thin body, and a delicate face with obvious oriental characteristics. It is in stark contrast to the village names with blond hair and brown eyes around them, and they can't help but tremble.

The boy's name is Chu Cheng, and a child of his age should be enjoying his youth wantonly. However, this cannibalistic world has ruthlessly pushed him to the forefront.

"It's too dangerous underground! Many of the young men in the village died underground. We...... I can't hand over more. Seeing the Imperial officer roaring angrily, the village chief quickly stood up tremblingly, rubbed his hands together incessantly, and said in a pleading tone.

But before he could finish his words, he was kicked to the ground by the officer.

"You maggot-like pariahs, what qualifications do you have to enjoy the gifts of the empire in vain?" The officer shook the dust off his trouser leg and said viciously. He looked at the crowd as if he were looking at a herd of livestock.

With a wave of his hand, the imperial soldiers on standby next to him immediately swarmed up.

In the face of the ferocious Imperial soldiers, the crowd suddenly let out a whimper of horror, but no one dared to resist at all. Everyone curled up desperately, trying to squeeze their bodies into the depths of the crowd.

The small square was in chaos, with people being dragged away by Imperial soldiers, and screams and shouts of killing were everywhere.

As for the young man named Chu Cheng, his reaction was quite quick. As early as the Imperial soldiers began to arrest people, he had already bent down and burrowed into the depths of the crowd.

But just as Chu Cheng was about to get into the crowd, a pair of hands suddenly pushed him hard from the side. Chu Cheng's thin body suddenly lost his center of gravity, and he directly crashed into the arms of an imperial soldier, and then the soldier grabbed his hair and dragged him to the center of the small square.

Chu Cheng struggled desperately, looking at the direction that the hands had just pushed him in with resentment, his eyes flashing like wolf cubs, but he couldn't catch the owner of those hands!

With a "bang" sound, Chu Cheng only felt a pain in the back of his head, and his whole body suddenly became weak, and he knelt on the ground firmly.

"Be honest, little cub! I don't know if I'm dying. The imperial soldier behind him spat fiercely, withdrew the bloody butt, and slammed the muzzle of the gun against Chu Cheng's head.

"According to the laws of the Empire, from today onwards, I will randomly execute ten people every day until you pay all your shares!" The Imperial officer looked at the ten people who had been dragged to the center of the square, a cruel smile on his face, like a demon who had chosen to devour people.

There was a crisp sound of a bullet loading in his ears, Chu Cheng gritted his teeth tightly, unwilling tears flowed from his eyes, but his body was as if it was filled with lead.

"Move, move me! I can't just die! Mother's illness has not been cured! Mother's body is still slowly turning into a machine! Mother, she's still suffering! I can't just die! โ€

Chu Cheng roared in his heart, and even his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh. The pressure of dying made Chu Cheng's perception acute. At this moment, he could even clearly feel that the fingers of the soldier behind him were pulling the trigger, and in less than a second, the bullet would pierce his skull!

"Heath, stop."

Who knows, at this critical moment, a faint female voice suddenly sounded. The Imperial officer, along with the soldiers, suddenly became excited, and even the fingers that pulled the trigger were subconsciously loosened.

The sudden change shocked Chu Cheng's thin body. He hurriedly raised his head, and saw a woman walking down from the floating ship of the Empire.

The woman's clothes were hot, and the fullness of her chest trembled slightly with the pace. A long rose-red hair sets off a foxy melon seed face, and the round and slender legs and slender feet are proudly exposed to the air, and the whole person is like a ripe peach, which makes people can't help but want to take a bite.

"Master Conis, I'm sorry to alarm you." Seeing the woman, the imperial officer's body immediately straightened, and his face showed a respectful look, and even his tone was full of solemnity.

The woman waved her hand casually, and the imperial officer hurriedly stepped aside respectfully.

Chu Cheng saw the woman's pair of apricot eyes, slowly cruising in the field, and finally stayed on him.

Being targeted by the other party, Chu Cheng suddenly felt a thrill. Seeing the woman walking slowly towards him, smelling the seductive body fragrance on the other party's body, Chu Cheng's breathing became short.

He knew that a casual thought by the other party was enough to decide his life and death.

The woman looked Chu Cheng up and down, her fingers with a touch like mutton fat jade, provocatively holding up Chu Cheng's cheeks, and slowly spit out two words after half a sound......

"Interesting."

When Chu Cheng heard this, his whole heart suddenly lifted, and his nails pierced deeply into his palm. This feeling of being decided by someone is even more painful than torture.

"Help! I don't want to die yet! I don't want to die! "Who knows, just when Chu Cheng's heartstrings were almost broken, a sudden change occurred! I saw a man kneeling beside Chu Cheng suddenly burst out of the ground like crazy, caught off guard, and actually broke free from the control of the imperial soldiers, and ran towards the periphery of the square with a loud shout.

The man's eyes were dazed, and his whole spirit had obviously collapsed under the pressure of dying.

"Damned pariahs, how dare you blaspheme Lord Coniss's majesty. Quick, catch him for me! When Officer Heath saw this, his eyes turned red. If something like this happens, if Lord Conis blames him, I'm afraid that even he will not escape punishment.

Who knows, when the woman named Conis heard this, she lazily waved her hand and motioned for everyone not to move.

Chu Cheng saw that a dark red light suddenly flashed on Conis's slender and white fingers, and then moved a little farther away towards the man who had escaped.

"Buzz!" There seemed to be invisible particles surging in the air, making a whispering moan. At this moment, Chu Cheng could clearly feel the evil thoughts extending from Conis's body, this evil thoughts were mixed with invisible rules, stirring the particles in the air, and were rushing towards the man who was fleeing.

It's too late, it's too soon! With this finger, the man's body froze almost instantly, and a howl that did not resemble a human voice came out of his throat.

Chu Cheng saw that there was a black spiral-shaped thing, which pierced the man's skin and flesh and drilled out, and there were more and more of them.

In the next second, the man's body was directly propped open, blooming in the air like a scarlet flower. Where he had just stood, a strange tree made of black spirals was slowly stretching its branches, covered with men's flesh and internal organs!

"Magic ...... Witch! Suddenly there was a gasping sound in the field, and everyone looked at the woman's eyes as if they were looking at a beautiful and highly poisonous poppy.

Chu Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he didn't know how powerful the woman in front of him was, but it was obvious that everyone's life and death were between her thoughts.

"Look, Lord Coniss, this group of people...... What to do. The Imperial officer on the side asked cautiously.

Seeing Conis's methods again, his attitude noticeably became more awe-inspiring.

Hearing this, Conis's sexy red lips moved. Her face was calm, as if she had just stepped on an annoying cockroach.

"Although the empire ...... I never cared about the life and death of you pariahs, but I still think that pariahs ...... There is also the value of untouchables. Conis spoke slowly, like a lazy cat. Her voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone.

"Therefore, I have decided to give you a chance...... A chance to prove your worth. โ€

Conis said, pointing her finger slowly to the ground, "I've heard that there is a face-eating insect lord beneath this village, and I need its eggs to make potions. If any of you can bring what I want back from the ground, I will not only exempt your village, but also ...... Reward. โ€

"Face-eating insects...... Suzerain!? The village chief subconsciously muttered these five words, and in his dry throat, there was a "gurgling" sound, and the whole person almost collapsed to the ground.

Not only him, but almost everyone who has been underground trembles involuntarily after hearing this. Conis's words at this moment are like a big mountain, and their hearts are a little unbearable!

Looking at the horror and horror in the eyes of the people, the corners of Conis's mouth curled into a satisfied smile. She withdrew her gaze from the crowd, and her fingers ran over Chu Cheng's cheek again, as if teasing the newly purchased pet.

"You're not like anyone else! I want you to ...... It can surprise me a little. โ€

With that, Conis turned and walked back to the ship. Only Chu Cheng, who was stunned in place, was left behind.
