When Xue Qiong and his party had a good conversation with Xilan's master and apprentice who had just sobered up, and even Xilan, who had just gotten up and drunk, exposed a few gossip about Forrest Gump, something else was happening in the distance.

To the southeast of Suran, thousands of miles away, something was happening in the Cave of Sorrow.

Although the Cave of Sorrow is said to have collapsed, only part of the structure has collapsed, and the entrance has been sealed. In the underneath it, there was still a lot of space that had not yet been buried, and some of the Imperial Army and the survivors of the Purple Mist Regiment were struggling to survive in these caverns that were blocked by falling rocks. Although most people knew that it was probably hopeless to get out, some of the officers still played a role at this point. In the first few days when they realized that they were trapped, they kept shouting morale-boosting words and writing empty checks, barely allowing the survivors to gather into several small groups, and even the Imperial and Purple Mist, who were still facing each other, had to abandon their previous suspicions and help each other, so they struggled to survive in this world that did not see the light of day... Although no one knows how long they will live, maybe they will die tomorrow.

More than 50 days, nearly two months... Although these people lived in caves, they didn't know how many days had passed.

Due to the large number of blocked passages, the survivors were divided into many, many small groups, ranging from a few people to hundreds, but most of the survivors were not even aware of the existence of other survivors.

At first they ate all the dry food on their bodies, and then they ate all the dry food they picked up from the corpses of their companions, and finally even ate the corpses of their dead companions, and in the case of starvation, they even killed and ate corpses... Fortunately, before they could eat all the food, they found the carcasses of some giant insects, and after they found that the muscles of these insects were not poisonous, they could be eaten raw and very full, and the oil in their stomachs could also be used as raw materials for lighting, they regained some confidence in surviving. After all, these people are all stronger than ordinary people, and at least it is no problem to besiege one or two lone giant insects.

Although now they are all as thin as skeletons.

"We're all going to die... No one will come to our rescue... A few of us, compared to the brothers who died first, just died more painfully, a little longer..."

Sitting by the fire lit by insect grease, an Imperial officer, with his chapped lips trembling, dreamily repeated the phrase he had said many times.

His strength is still relatively strong, and he even has a good enchanted Mithril sword as a weapon. With this weapon, the small group he belongs to is still alive and well... At least he hadn't eaten the corpse yet.

But despair still completely occupied his heart with time, little by little. The gorgeous blonde hair that was originally proud has long since become like a weed, the beautiful enchanted leather armor that the family bought at a high price has been corroded into waste by the body fluids of the bug, and the thumb of the right hand has also been bitten off by the bug, which is the finger holding the sword...

Now he is no different from corpses and insects, just a poor creature struggling to survive in this dark world.

"Raul..."A woman gently stroked the face of the Imperial officer, strictly speaking, it should be the face of the former Imperial officer, although there was despair in her words, she could feel that she still gave people some only hope, even if that hope was still so empty and small, "We will live, someone will come to save us... At least your empire will..."

The woman was dressed in purple and had long black and shiny hair, but most of it had now been shaved off, because in this environment, long hair could easily become a nest for parasites.

This woman is also skinny now, her clothes are obviously larger, and the fabric on her chest is even more empty, she should have starved the cups above D into a flat plate... After all, there is also a lot of fat there, which is also an important energy that can be used to sustain life in case of hunger.

But even if you look at her face that has become "angular" and her eyes bulge, you can see that she must have been a big beauty before.

After all, the Purple Mist Regiment is different from the regular army of the Empire, regardless of gender, as long as the strength is sufficient and loyalty can be guaranteed, they can join, and they join the battle sequence without discrimination. And in the Imperial Army, except for a few high-level combat powers, the women who may appear are at most disgraceful battalion-prostitutes...

Raul, a middle-ranking officer in the Empire, after all his soldiers died or were separated, when the cave began to collapse, he stumbled upon this ordinary female martial artist in the purple mist... He gave up the sword confrontation and survived with her instead, and during these times, I don't know if it was the illusion caused by the fear of death, or if it was real love at first sight, in short, they were together.

"Hey, hey, hey... The relationship between the little couple is very good, right? Let me fulfill you..."

The voice that suddenly appeared in the cave seemed to be a man, which made the two of them happy at first. But Raul quickly reacted, although the appearance of other survivors was a good thing in itself, but no one could tell whether the other party had good intentions or bad intentions, so he immediately pulled out the enchanted mythril sword hanging from his waist, stood up with difficulty, and looked around vigilantly.

Although his right hand could no longer hold a sword, he still had his left hand.

And his girlfriend is also in a posture ready for fighting, and at this time, it is always good to be cautious.

In the flickering firelight, a young man dressed in tattered clothes stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of them. His shirt is the military uniform of the Empire, but his pants are the uniform of the purple mist, and he has no shoes... And the most impressive thing about him is the small eyes that smile obscenely and narrow into a line, the long beard that is messy and ugly, and the dirty turban wrapped around his head.

Finally, he still has a strong body of muscles. You know, Raul and the others are now about to become mummies, and he himself believes that even if there are other survivors, the situation will not be much better than himself, but the person in front of him looks like he has not been hungry at all for nearly two months.

"Brother is a man? How did you get here? Raul had a close coat on his mouth, but he had no intention of putting down the Mithril Sword in his hand, "I've checked all the caves around here, and they should all be dead." ”

"Are you an idiot?" The visitor laughed obscenely again, "I smashed the stone blocking the road..."

Hearing this, Raul became even more nervous, because of a very simple truth, he himself was completely powerless against those boulders, and the man in front of him said so... That's definitely better than yourself.

Raul silently moved a few steps in front of his lover. At least, she can't be hurt first...

The person who came didn't seem to care about Raul's actions at all, just smiled and said, "It's quite backbone, I know how to protect women... But have you ever thought that you're actually a? ”

"Huh?!" Raul's brain went down on the spot, but speaking of which, there were indeed very few women in the barracks, at least he knew that there were among his men...

He was stunned for no more than a second, but when he refocused and looked forward, he found that the person had disappeared in front of his eyes, and a premonition of danger came over him, and he looked behind him without thinking.

In the last seconds of his life, he saw images that he could never forget even in hell.

The woman he had decided to protect desperately had completely turned into a dry corpse at this time, and the guy who had just disappeared in front of his eyes was pulling his fingers out of the woman's skull... There was still a red and white liquid on it, and for a moment he couldn't even believe what he was seeing, and he didn't dare to think about what it was.

The lewd man seemed to be enjoying himself, he licked his fingers, got drunk for a second or two, and then looked at Raul.

That kind of look is like going to the vegetable market to buy a live chicken... Look at the eyes of the food.

"It's your turn,."

Yes, this person who treats humans as food is Master Liu, who wears a stone ghost mask.

On that day, when he lost the beacon and was about to be completely wiped out by the "space", and when he died of humiliation under the watchful eyes of Xue Qiong, a guy with a bad taste, he picked up the only prop on his body that had not been looted by Da Shao before, the stone ghost face from the world of JOJO's fantastic adventure, and wore it on his face with a broken jar.

He didn't know if he would succeed, but he knew that it meant that the "Ripple" enhancement he had worked so hard to obtain had been completely wasted. After all, in that original work, the power of ripples and stone ghost faces is incompatible, and even in his current state, using ripples will directly cause his body to self-extinguish until only a little ash remains.

But he succeeded, he doesn't know how he succeeded, he couldn't pay for life crystals or points without losing the beacon, you must know that in an experiment that flows out of the heart, even if the plot characters can easily obtain, a 100% successful reinforcement method, if the reincarnation does not pay for the reinforcement, it will also fail directly, and then die in all kinds of unbelievable ways...

In short, I don't know why, this gamble Master Liu won. He gave up the power he had been using to obtain his current body instead, which had the ability to heal itself against the sky, and its strength was incomparable, even if it could walk on the ceiling in defiance of gravity.

After Master Liu mutated that day, he realized that it was hopeless to kill Xue Qiong and his party in a short period of time, so he turned to chase and kill Da Shao. But after Da Shao had the summon of killing Gu Adult Worms, she had already driven this big insect to burrow and leave the Screaming Cave, and even the passage she had made was destroyed by herself with a time bomb...
