Chapter 4 Unprovoked Hunger
Everything that followed was just instinct. And the instinct of the hungry ghost is the hunger that reaches the soul.
That's why there are so many walking dead wandering around foraging for food. didn't run to him for a long time, and there were more than a dozen people who were killed casually.
"Why bother, I don't eat you, but you want to eat me. ”
Chu You spread his hands and said helplessly, but when he thought of this, a feeling of hunger slowly surged into his heart.
Also, it's been some time since I've been in the Hungry Ghost Road, and this strong body should also feel hungry.
"It's time to find something to eat. ”
Chu You swallowed his saliva and looked around. But I can't help but be disappointed, thousands of miles of wasteland, poor mountains and bad land, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place with food.
Speechless for a while, he threw the bone blade on his waist to the ground: "How can there be food in such a place! Do you have to force me to eat the dead?"
Chu You was angry, but he said so, but he still had a bottom line in his heart. At least not to live or die, and never to eat the remains of those bones.
"Alas, I didn't expect to get mixed up in such a field. "I felt the sound in my stomach, and I felt very uncomfortable.
After several struggles, he had no idea, and in the end he could only sigh. Sitting on the ground, I thought about the taste of drinking blood wine and eating tiger meat.
Since breaking through the three heavenly tribulations a hundred years ago and becoming the king of people, Chu You has never felt hungry.
Absorbing the aura of heaven and earth every day can replace one's own diet. I don't know how many years I haven't eaten anything serious.
Of course, as an evil cultivator, he has killed countless people. Idle rise is even eaten by people. But that has nothing to do with hunger.
As time passed, the stomach became hungrier and hungrier. Not only did my body start to weaken, but my head was buzzing.
Chu You was extremely uncomfortable at this time, but for some reason, this feeling was getting worse every minute. It didn't take long for him to be miserable.
In the chaos, he had the illusion that the next second would be forever hell, and the next second would be a distant heaven.
After each second, the discomfort of hunger refreshed and shocked his understanding of hell. Blame yourself for never knowing how happy you are in the last second.
Hunger is not the same as bleeding and hurting, there is no actual pain, but it is so memorable, even unforgettable.
Suddenly, a great pain swept over him like a tidal wave. One of them fell to the ground, unable to stand up with all his strength.
In the end, he had to tremble and barely kneel on the ground.
His face was pale and his lips were black. It's like a terminally ill person who happens to be dying of illness. The only antidote is food.
Trembling, no one knew how much pain he had endured. Even he didn't understand where this unwarranted pain came from.
He couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion, only his intuition told him that if he couldn't eat, he would die.
In a trance, I suddenly heard some sounds. Glancing up, he caught a glimpse of a group of ghouls crouching on the ground like wild dogs, devouring a corpse in embarrassment.
Looking at this, a wave of nausea flooded. But his eyes suddenly turned green, and he got up and staggered towards the group of "wild dogs".
Step by step, under the sky, the blue and black zombie walked slowly. It looks like he's about to become a member of the "Wild Dogs".
As he paced, his saliva was dripping, like a walking corpse.
Step by step, he got closer and closer to the little zombies who were biting the corpses.
Until the end, there is only one step left.
Suddenly, a spirit, Chu You suddenly woke up. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded.
"No!" he secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, and after shaking his head violently and shaking off his distracting thoughts, he silently recited the "Clear Heart Formula" he had learned.
After a burst of mantra, his eyes immediately became clear. That uncontrollable hunger disappeared.
Seeing that his body was relaxed, he hurriedly turned around and ran without looking back. In the land of right and wrong, the enemy and the enemy are unknown, so get out quickly.
Behind the back, a puff of dust was raised.
.....
"Whew, I don't know what kind of magic I fell into, I almost fell on the road!"
Leaning on the edge of a mound of dirt, Chu You patted his chest and exhaled repeatedly.
If it weren't for his silent recitation of the "Pure Heart Formula" at a critical moment, I am afraid that he would be like those wild dogs now.
Thinking of this, I was afraid for a while.
"How can this be? I didn't feel much just now, and I was so hungry all the time?"
Chu You muttered to himself: "Even if it's a hungry ghost, it doesn't feel like it's coming so fast." It seems that it should be an illusion demon at work. ”
I closed my eyes and thought deeply, but found that there was only this answer.
Exhaled: "It should just be a ghost who is confused, it seems that he is summoning zombies to eat him, I am afraid that the last ones to be devoured are those little zombies." Fortunately, the ghost's illusion is still shallow, otherwise it is hard to say whether he can escape with his whole body. ”
After thinking about it, I felt that I was still lucky, if it wasn't for my experience. Probably died here.
I felt my body, and I was still very hungry, but not as bad as before. At least it's tolerable, and you shouldn't go crazy if you eat something today.
As you spend more time here, hunger pangs are sure to rise. It can be resisted for now, but only for now.
It's like there's no going to look back for the reason that made him hungry for no reason.
For a newborn like him, there is almost nothing in this land that he can resist.
Chu You understood that as time passed, the curse of the Hungry Ghost Dao would become deeper and deeper, and if he didn't eat again, he would definitely go crazy with hunger just now.
In the end, he became a wild dog that lost his mind, fiercely grabbing food on the side of the road.
All you can do now is sober yourself and find food quickly.
Time waited for no one, Chu You got up and looked for a direction and walked down. As he walked, he prayed in his heart: "I hope I don't get to the point of gnawing on the bones of my own kind." ”
The Hungry Ghost Road has never been a good place, and it is full of traps of life and death. Just when he was still thinking about how to control himself, someone had already made his idea.
Chu You casually found a direction, and walked more than ten miles in a moment. Unbeknownst to him, however, a hunter had quietly approached him.
This hunter is fierce and cruel, and ugly. The hair on the body is completely detached, and the scars on the bare flesh are crisscrossed.
The whole body is blue and black, but it is also a perfect blend with the gray ground.
Looking from afar, I saw a beast spine crawling behind Chu You, following him like a shadow.
I don't know how long I've been following, maybe I feel that the time has come, maybe I can't wait.
Suddenly, the dark shadow behind him suddenly took an arrow step.
With a "whoosh", a vigorous figure flew in.
His cruel and greedy eyes were full of fierce murderous intent, and a pair of half-broken fangs went straight to the back of Chu You's neck.
Chu You's past and present lives have experienced life and death, not to mention a thousand times. The moment that figure pounced, his cold hair exploded, and his heart tightened.
I suddenly felt a chill in my heart just now, and I felt a chill on the back of my neck. Under the crisis, there is nothing else to care about.
Years of experience made him instinctively lift the bone stick and the head of the stick was not back, but slammed it back.
Since you can't dodge, you can only attack and defend.
