Volume 1 Step by Step, Black Pupil Hides Killings Chapter 1 Ye Lai
This is a fragmented world, because the ancient wars have now become full of holes, and chaos has descended on this lingering world, adding a bit of sin to the already end-of-life world.
The gray-black chaotic air currents shuttled like parasites in the ocean where the currents of evil converged, constantly eating away at what little life was left on the continent, further expanding the desolation after the war.
In the boundless Chaos Continent, life has become a luxury here, the prosperity of the past has disappeared, and all that remains is the cold gray and dead silence.
"Come on...... Ye Lai, you can do it, your sister still needs your care, hold on, you must go back......" A faint voice came from a black "humanoid stone", the sound was intermittent, as if it could be annihilated in the roar of this chaotic air flow at any time.
One minute, two minutes......
The stone seemed to move, and suddenly two bright eyes appeared on the stone, revealing a desire for life, and a black arm with dense scars extended, struggling to grasp a weathered rock on the ground, trying to move itself in a certain direction.
Ye Lai clutched a dilapidated and dirty bottle in his other hand, which contained a bit of water that he had risked his life to find, and he was going to take it back to his sick sister, even though he hadn't touched a drop of water himself for more than two days.
Today's continent, known as the "Doomsday Graveyard", is a forbidden area for life, filled with terrible chaotic air currents everywhere, water is an extremely precious thing in this world, it means life.
Ye Lai's father was a pioneer warrior, a few years ago unfortunately died in the battle with the wild beast, the roof of a family of four collapsed, Ye Lai's mother also died soon after because of excessive sadness, leaving only Ye Lai and his seven-year-old sister to rely on each other, not to mention the hard life, but also was cancelled from the household registration, driven out of the "Seven Swords District", and since then had to take his sister to hide and hide.
Human beings on the mainland are already at an extreme disadvantage, so they have to form residential areas to survive, and the Ye Lai brothers and sisters, who have lost their household registration in the "Seven Swords District", are in even worse condition, and they live in fear every day.
Does he hate those high-level officials of the "Seven Swords District" who have cancelled his household registration? Perhaps, after all, they took what his parents left for him, he has been thinking in his heart, why did his parents die in the first place, he does not believe the explanations given by those so-called high-level officials, his father has reached the level of a first-class desolate soldier, it stands to reason that it is impossible to die so easily, and his mother has always been in good health, how could he die of depression.
Although he was puzzled, now was obviously not the time to think about this, he had to go back within three hours, otherwise it would be bad if his sister was in danger, now the continent is a paradise for wild beasts, and they, the wandering and hiding humans, are the most delicious food for them.
After a slight pause, Ye Lai, who had regained a little strength, struggled to sit up, ignoring the pain caused by the chaotic sea breeze like a knife cutting his skin, Ye Lai carefully took out a somewhat yellowed stone from his arms and put it in his mouth.
This kind of stone in his mouth can quickly replenish his physical strength, he was accidentally found in a barren sea, there is a sea character in the name of the barren sea, but in fact it is a basin shrouded by chaotic air currents all year round, dense and continuous chaotic air currents look like a gray-black ocean from a distance, so it is named "barren sea".
Holding the stone, Ye Lai forcibly sat himself up, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to recover his tired and somewhat prostrated body, feeling a trace of desolate qi pouring into his body, Ye Lai's heart finally slowly let go.
Today's Ye Lai is much stronger than half a year ago, this is all the credit of this stone, you must know that ordinary people can only rely on exercising their physical bodies to enhance their strength, and it is almost impossible to absorb the wild qi into the body, because if you want to absorb the wild qi, you must have a set of wild magic methods, and this kind of thing can only be owned by some high-level big people.
And Ye Lai now also has the ability to absorb the desolate qi, with the flesh and blood in the body nourished by the desolate qi, his physical strength will become stronger and stronger, and eventually he may even become a desolate warrior, with incomparably strong strength, and when the time comes, he will be treated as a real upper class if he finds a residential area to join.
Ye Lai's father was a first-class desolate warrior who practiced an ancestral desolate art, but unfortunately, with the death of his father, that desolate art was also missing.
An hour later, Ye Lai slowly opened his eyes, feeling the strength in his body that was more refined than some time ago, his heart was slightly happy, he clenched his fist, and his heart said Sure enough: When you are exhausted, you will get a lot of benefits by absorbing the power of desolate qi recovery with the help of this stone.
Carefully spit out the stone in his mouth to the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully, no matter from all aspects, this is an ordinary stone, the only characteristic thing is that this stone is relatively smooth, and it feels a little cold in the mouth.
Shook his head, carefully put away this stone, it has been half a year since he got it, this will be the biggest capital for his own turnaround, thinking of this, Ye Lai's clear eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, it is thanks to the kid of the Du family, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to get this stone, let alone have the strength he has now.
Half a year ago, in the process of Ye Lai going out to find food, he encountered Du Long and his two subordinates, Du Long is the son of an executive surnamed Du in the "Seven Swords District", who is arrogant and domineering, bullying good and fearing evil, when Du Long and Ye Lai met by chance, they saw the water and food in the arms of Ye Lai, who was thin and embarrassed, so he moved his mind and ordered the two men to go down and abolish Ye Lai.
What he didn't expect was that Ye Lai, who seemed to be thin and small, narrowly escaped the pursuit of Du Long's two subordinates, and directly plunged into the barren sea not far away, Du Long immediately scolded angrily, looked at the mysterious and treacherous barren sea, and left with his two subordinates in a huff.
But what he didn't expect was that after Ye Lai fell into the barren sea, not only did he not die, but he also got a strange yellow stone, and his strength increased day by day.
Thinking of this, Ye Lai couldn't help but clench his fists, one day, he would definitely make Du Long pay the price, not just because he framed himself, but because he actually felt a familiar fluctuation in him!
And that familiar feeling was exactly the same as the aura revealed by his father back then, so it must have been Du Long who got the absurd art left by his father from somewhere, and cultivated it himself.
It was from that time that Ye Lai began to suspect the real cause of his father's death, in his opinion, his father was likely to have been plotted, and even his mother's death may not be so simple! The biggest suspect in this is the executive surnamed Du in the "Seven Swords District" Even ordinary executives are not qualified to have it, only some people who have made outstanding contributions to mankind are eligible to get a desolate art, it is very likely that the executive surnamed Du saw the wealth and took advantage of it, otherwise it is difficult to explain why Du Long would practice Ye Lai's father's absurd art.
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Lai also made up his mind to find out the origin of Du Long's desolation technique, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, clenched his fist, and felt the refilled power in his lower body, Ye Lai's eyes became more determined, paused, looked back at the road he had walked over, looked at a long drag trail on the ground, and the little blood stains that remained on it, feeling the pain of the chaotic air flow cutting his face, and sighed in his heart: All this will one day be returned a hundred times to those who framed their parents.
Tightly grasping the yellow stone in his hand, he turned around and continued to walk in the direction of "home", time is running out, he must rush back as soon as possible, and his sister is still waiting for him.
An hour and a half later.
The embarrassed Ye Lai staggered to a sheltered mountain col, and took a brief look at the surrounding environment, there was a slight stench everywhere, and there was no life as far as the eye could see, Ye Lai's eyes flashed a trace of sadness, this is where he and his sister live, after leaving the "Seven Swords District", he and his sister lived here.
Ye Lai couldn't help clenching his fists, his teeth bit his lips because of too much force, and a trace of fishy sweetness spread out around his mouth, he closed his eyes gently, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must let his sister move into the residential area again, and no longer be threatened by all kinds of threats all the time, I believe that this day will not be long...... Subconsciously touched the yellow stone in his arms, Ye Lai squeezed out a smile at the corner of his mouth, and bent down to move a rock with a length and width of one meter each.
When the rock is removed, a hole is revealed that can be passed through by one person, and when you look down from above, you can't see the situation below clearly due to the perspective of light, etc., and you can only see a vague darkness.
Without too much hesitation, Ye Lai jumped in, the fall time was not very long, and he stepped on the ground almost instantly, judging by the time of the fall, the drop here was only about three meters, but this height was nothing to Ye Lai now.
After landing, he pulled a rope next to him, and the other end of the cable connected to the boulder at the entrance of the cave was closed again with a "boom".
Because of the constraints of economic conditions, Ye Lai can only make a "door" so simply, and took a breath gently, fortunately, there is no special taste, and it is very safe here, because most of the wild beasts will emit a strong fishy smell, and the diffusion speed is very fast, so you can judge whether there are wild beasts nearby through this method.
"Ying'er, brother is back, are you there?" Ye Lai took a breath and shouted towards the cave inside, when he called out the name, Ye Lai's eyes rarely rippled with a different kind of warmth, which was a bond to his relatives.
