Chapter 9: The Catastrophe
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed, and the time soon came to the end of the month. All the turmoil caused by mutant creatures has dissipated, and everyone's life is still peaceful.
It was an ordinary twilight, and the sunset, which had sunset, had converged the scorching white light into a soft orange, and the sunset in the sky had burned a fiery red. The whole river city was covered with a layer of gentle colors by this magnificent glow, pedestrians hurrying home, traffic jams on the streets, old people walking leisurely in the alleys, and mothers calling for naughty children to come home for dinner. Prosperity and tranquility, grace and gentleness, the colors of the city become ambiguous whenever day and night alternate.
Just above this beautiful and gorgeous sunset picture, suddenly there were a few more black dots. Those few black dots were magnified several times in the blink of an eye, turning into meteors, dragging their long tails and flying towards the sky above Jiang Cheng.
"Look! Meteor~! Some sharp-eyed children were the first to see it, and excitedly pointed to the sky and shouted. In just a few moments, those few meteors flying from outside the sky had already reached the sky above Jiang Cheng. The people of Jiangcheng raised their heads in surprise and looked at this scene, just when people were puzzled, those few meteors were magnified countless times in an instant, turning into huge meteorites, smashing down towards Jiangcheng with raging flames!
The people who were looking up at the sky had no time to turn their curiosity into horror when they were destroyed by this sudden disaster.
At this moment, more than a dozen such huge meteorites fell in the entire Jiangcheng, and the landing points of the meteorites were evenly distributed throughout the city. Whether it's a commercial street in the city center or a village on the outskirts of the city. All of them suffered heavy losses under this devastating catastrophe. The seismic waves caused by the meteorite crash swept through the city!
This beautiful city of three million people lost all her splendor and color in an instant.
However, this is far from the end. Just as the seismic waves generated by the meteorite had subsided, and the surviving humans were secretly rejoicing among the smoke-strewn buildings, the meteorites began to emit thick black fog.
With the appearance of the black mist, a group of dark-red-skinned humanoid monsters poured out of the meteorite, their height was about one meter and two, their dark red skin was covered with folds, their thick lower lip turned outward, and their two sharp fangs were exposed to the air. They hold a heavy wooden stick in their hands, which is covered with sharp roots that have been left from the haphazard cutting off of excess branches. They are the lowest dark creatures of the Eternal Continent, the Sinking Demons.
The Demons roared excitedly and rushed towards the panicked crowd around them. It's like a pack of ferocious hungry wolves rushing into an unattended flock, unleashing their desire to kill.
Even more terrifying, humans raised in captivity in the city are far less threatening than an angry ram.
A sinking demon caught up with a pot-bellied middle-aged man in a few steps, it waved the wooden stick in its hand, and slapped the middle-aged man to the ground at will, the middle-aged man screamed, and the huge force on the stick just now easily broke his spine.
He lay on the ground, his back sunken in a strange arc, and he couldn't survive. It's just that although such an injury is serious, it does not make him die immediately, and the strong desire to survive dominates him to crawl forward with difficulty with two hands.
The Sinking Demon looked at the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground and kept coughing up blood, and roared excitedly, and the sticky saliva trickled down his fat lips, pulling out a transparent filament. It took a few steps forward, raised the stick in its hand and aimed it at the middle-aged man who was struggling on the ground.
"Bang!" After a dull sound, the middle-aged man's head was smashed with a stick like a ripe watermelon. The exploding slurry bloomed a poignant blood-colored flower on the ground, wordlessly revealing the future fate of mankind.
"Roar~!" The Fallen Demon let out a smirk roar, stretched out its scarlet tongue and licked the blood splashed on its face, and continued to rush to its next target.
At the same time, this scene is playing out in every corner of the world.
From romantic Paris, gentlemen's London, to liberal and culturally diverse Washington;
From the quiet Sweden, the literary Florentine, to the poverty and wealth of Brasilia;
From the mystical Egypt, the rich Cape Town, to the gold and diamond Dubai;
From the chaos of Iraq, the elegance of Montreal, to the bustling and indifferent Shanghai.
At this moment, whether it is a bustling and crowded city or a quiet and beautiful countryside, every place inhabited by humans on the entire earth has been spared from this catastrophe that fell from the sky. The catastrophe of the end times is coming!
Time went back to before, just before the huge meteorites in the sky fell to the ground, Zhuang Yichen suddenly felt a tearing pain in his mind, and then his eyes went black, and his mind was uncontrollably sucked into the interior of the tower.
"The external aura conditions have reached the minimum standard of cultivation, and the aura attribute is being tested."
As soon as Zhuang Yichen's mind entered the space inside the tower, a deep bass sounded in his head. That voice didn't use any words, and directly transmitted the meaning he wanted to express to Zhuang Yichen's brain. Zhuang Yichen is confused, aura? Practice? Just as he was puzzled, the divine thought sounded again.
"The identification of the aura attribute is complete. After testing, the external cultivation environment is a mixed environment of loose thin aura, low-grade demonic qi and yin aura. ”
"According to the comprehensive evaluation of the user's physique and cultivation environment, it is not recommended to start the cultivation exercises. The Diyuan Pagoda has automatically confirmed that the Dark Magic Cultivation System is the dominant growth system. ”
Immediately after that, two divine thoughts were transmitted to Zhuang Yichen's brain, and with the end of this series of divine thoughts, Zhuang Yichen also regained control of his consciousness.
He carefully digested the information transmitted by these divine thoughts, and although he still had many doubts in his heart, he gradually figured out a little clue. It turns out that this tower is not just a simple storage space, it is actually a heritage treasure.
And the various changes in the previous part of the bead, as well as the reason for the mutated creatures, can now have a reasonable explanation. It turned out that on this earth, it really appeared, and the world of all fantasy and magic movies formed the cornerstone, Yuanqi!
It's just that why does this tower say that it is a lack of spiritual energy, and only opens the inheritance of magic cultivation? Is it vitality? Nimbus? Or is it a magical element? The reason for this is that the more Zhuang Yichen thinks about it, the more confused he feels, but fortunately he ignores it.
He didn't bother to check the cultivation system that had been opened, and hurried out of the tower. Because he saw the meteorites falling from the sky before his mind was sucked into the tower, he first needed to determine whether the environment he was in at the moment was safe.
