The morning fog is thick and the twilight wind is cold, the spring rain fades the apricot petals, wets the clothes, and the eyes are full of tears, leaving only a touch of deep sorrow in the heart!

Xia Ye stood on the overgrown cross slope, looking at the city shrouded in smoke and rain in the distance, and a totem battle flag embroidered with the golden word 'Xia' was so dazzling!

"In three years, I will destroy this city!"

Xia Ye's clenched right hand, his knuckles turned white, and he took a dozen deep breaths before he could barely suppress the hatred in his heart.

Insects and birds chirp, but they can't dispel the chill of this early spring.

Carrying a basket of green and tender wild vegetables and two thin rabbits, Xia Ye stepped on the slippery bluestone road and walked into Xia City.

This is the north of Youzhou, the main city belonging to the Xia tribe, and further north, there is a continuous forest of ancient trees, which looks like an endless forest ocean, in addition to unknown plants, all kinds of ancient beasts, and large and small savage tribes.

It is said to be the main city, but unlike the steel high-rise jungle in Xia Ye's memory, each of its buildings is made of huge stones, and some have not even been polished by stonemasons, so the edges and corners are clear, the lines are hard, and there is a rough and barbaric atmosphere everywhere.

"North of Youzhou?"

Xia Ye pursed the corners of his lips, a little speechless, on the map he was familiar with, this should be near Chengde, but it didn't matter.

Maybe it's because human beings have gotten away, or maybe it's God's punishment, when the world's population reaches 10 billion, it's like the destruction switch has been activated, and a mysterious green spores begin to drift everywhere in the air, they fall on human skin, take root, sprout, and then all life forms become parasitic nutrients, and in a short period of time, the roots that stick out of their feet dig into the soil, so that they can no longer walk, and their bodies are fibrosized, and finally become plants!

So humanity perished, civilization broke!

The years and stars have passed, hundreds of millions of years have passed, and traces of human activities have gradually appeared in the world, but their development trajectory is different from the process that Xia Ye is familiar with.

Those mysterious spores have long since disappeared, but they have caused a dramatic change in the environment, and a substance called Genki has appeared.

Under the influence of vitality, the species in this world have begun to take on different forms on the road of evolution.

Humans can use their energy to develop a variety of secret techniques, such as witchcraft, spiritism, and tricks, and they use this energy to strengthen themselves and increase their combat effectiveness!

Based on this, the Genki civilization was born, bursting out with brilliant and colorful brilliance!

It's just that Natsuno wants to cry!

Because the birth of any civilization must be the result of environmental influence.

In this era when science and technology stay in the handover of stone tools and bronze, it is very difficult to survive, its means of production are scarce to the extreme, the farming method is primitive slash-and-burn farming, and only a few people understand silkworm animal husbandry, and the efficiency is extremely low, many people starve to death every year.

For a handful of rice, conflicts involving several people are not uncommon.

Touching the stone knife on his waist, Xia Ye tightened his back basket.

The cruel and harsh world made him feel like he was playing a game of starvation survival, trying to find food every day, eat it, and live!

When passing by a 'big ink building', Xia Ye stopped, hesitated, and walked in.

This is a shop that sells all kinds of mechanical products, and if you look at the name, you will know that the teacher is from the Mo family, so the price is also extremely expensive.

The guy with his chin behind the counter glanced at Xia Ye, and continued to doze off, this kind of poor ghost, let alone a thousand-eyed crow, even a wooden claw may not be able to afford it.

The store is full of goods, including wooden armor painted in gold, puppet war puppets with unbelievable structures, and rows of mechanical beasts made of wood and stone tools on the shelves on the right.

Xia Ye looked around, and finally stood in front of the wooden frame on the west side, where some antiquities were displayed, including rusty bronze swords, bloodstained jade, and bones infected by wind and frost, all brought back from various ruins, but the most attractive thing was a pottery puppet on the right hand side, because the closer he got, the more his left eyelid jumped.

"Hey, don't touch it, you can't afford to break it!"

The guy knocked on the table, his voice disgusted.

Xia Ye didn't react yet, but a hearty and beautiful voice sounded first.

"Hey, what are you doing, man? Are you trying to drive guests away?"

Xia Ye turned around and saw a girl in cotton clothes walking in, perhaps because of the men's dress, which made her a little heroic!

"Master, why are you here?"

The man shot up, with a smile on his face, hurriedly poured a glass of water, and ran to the girl, "Give me the luggage, you drink first!"

"Hmph, I'm not coming, I didn't know you were so lazy!"

The girl complained angrily, took the cup, and drank it cleanly.

"He can't afford it!"

The guy is a little aggrieved.

"Made by a great craftsman?"

Xia Ye was surprised, in this era, mechanism art is an extremely important and advanced subject, without talent and hard work, it is impossible to achieve anything.

The master craftsman is not a name, but a professional title, and it generally takes fifteen years for an organ to climb from an apprentice to this position!

How old is this unisex girl in front of me? Only about fifteen years old!

"How do you know he can't afford it?"

The girl asked rhetorically: "Also, don't call me a master craftsman, if I am heard by other mechanics, it will cause disputes!"

"Hehe, you'll be sooner or later anyway!"

Dude slaps on the back.

"How's it going? Anything you like? Count you at half price, and you will be treated as an atonement for your fellow's rudeness!"

The girl greeted Xia Ye, quite generous.

"Made by a great craftsman!"

The man's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon: "I will lose money!"

The girl waved her hand indifferently and stood beside Xia Ye: "The eye is good, the craftsmanship of this pottery puppet is quite exquisite, it must be made by a master craftsman, you look at this painting, who would have thought that it has gone through a hundred years? There is also the way the limbs are connected......"

Xia Ye turned her head sideways, the light was dim on a rainy day, but she still couldn't cover the girl's beauty temperament, she was a fanatical mechanic, not so much in sales, but in her own world and unable to extricate herself.

"I'm sorry, I'm being long-winded!"

The girl scratched her hair in embarrassment.

"It's fine!"

Xia Ye chuckled, he liked this kind of pure person very much, and when it came to topics related to mechanical arts, this girl's eyes were shining.

"You're also preparing for the upcoming Blood Survival Trial, right? Then I solemnly recommend my latest work to you, the Thousand-Eyed Crow!"

The girl carefully picked up a crow.

"Its skeleton is different from the common all-wood products, it is made of bronze, and the body is made of Lishan trees, which are known for their hardness and lightness, so the overall weight has not increased, and I have modified the power system, a Yuan Qi stone, which can increase the flight distance by at least five miles!"

"The young mechanic is really talented!"

Xia Ye was a little envious.

Both the Mo family and the public loser have opened institutions and schools in Xia Cheng to preach and teach, but Xia Ye is a poor ghost who does not have half a knife coin in his pocket and cannot afford the high tuition fees.

The girl's sleeves were rolled up, revealing two white arms, and a pair of black deerskin half-fingered gloves, presumably for convenience and safety when making mechanical items, she carried a bulging animal skin bag and a huge wooden umbrella behind her.

With neat short hair, sassy and sharp, coupled with this dress, if you don't speak, it's easy to be taken for a boy!

"Sorry, I can't afford it!"

Natsuno took two steps back.

"Ugh!"

The girl was a little stuck for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then made a choice: "Then it's cheaper!"

"Made by a great craftsman, it was sold at a loss at the original price!"

The guy is going to die in a hurry, and he can't wait to snatch the thousand-eyed crow, and he is indeed extraordinary in the mechanics, but he is a mess in business.

"Yes, what a loss!"

Xia Ye didn't bother to take advantage of this: "But that pottery puppet, if possible, please help me reserve a week!"

"Are you sure? I tried to fix it, but I couldn't, so it's a pile of clay!"

The girl named Mo Wuyu looked at Xia Ye suspiciously, could this be a mechanic?

The young man in front of him, fifteen or sixteen years old, was thin and weak at the beginning of his serious illness, and his face was still pale from malnutrition, and he was dressed in the cheapest linen clothes, with many patches, but the pulp was very clean.

In this era of advocating force, having a burly physique means having food, so although Xia Ye has a handsome face, no woman will take a second look.

"But his eyes are so good!"

Mo muttered without a trace, the young man's eyes were dark and bright, like the bright stars in the summer night sky falling and formed, but unfortunately, there was only one!

Yes, Xia Ye's left eye is covered with an eye patch, which is usually only dressed by blind people!

Mo Wuxuan also noticed that the gaps between his fingernails were spotless, well, this is a very clean teenager!

"If it's still in a week, just sell it to me at the original price!"

Xia Ye smiled and turned to leave, he didn't want to deceive this simple girl, but his left eyelid jumped very much, which showed that there must be something unusual about the pottery puppet.

"Hey, buy it at a reduced price, I'm afraid this kid will starve to death tomorrow!"

Guy despises.

"He's got rabbits!"

Mo Wuxuan was speechless.

"Then starve to death the day after tomorrow!"

The guy insisted: "He is one of the famous Xia family's double wastes, how can he have ten knife coins in a week?

"He's got rabbits!"

Mo Wuyu glanced at the street, the young man's back was straight, without the slightest hint of promise.

"My master craftsman, I know he has rabbits, or two!"

The guy muttered: "The skinny ones are only skinny and bone-lining, even if you eat it, you can cut off two taels of meat, count me as losing!"

"The Beast Tide has just ended!"

After Mo Wuxuan finished speaking, he looked at the pottery puppet, a little unwilling: "No, I have to check it again!"

"What?"

The guy looked confused, but he wasn't stupid either, and reacted quickly.

The wild beast is a terrifying and ferocious beast, every four years, just like the migration of salmon, it will be swept down from the polar permafrost in the north, not to mention animals, wild fruits, grass roots, and even insects, everything that can be eaten, they will not let go of anything, and they will destroy everything like crazy, so after the wild beast, the earth is decaying, like the end of the world!

Now less than half a month has passed since the tide of wild beasts, some of the wild beasts that can't keep up with the abandoned tribes are still wandering in the wild, except for the most brave tribal warriors, they don't dare to go out easily, one is to avoid danger, and the other is because the beasts that survived by luck are still cats in the nest without showing their heads, and there are no wild beasts to hunt!

But this young man is good, not only went out, but also caught two surviving rabbits, even if he is thin, they are also rabbits that survived the tide of wild beasts!

"This courage is simply bigger than a rabbit, no, bigger than a bear, am I blind?"

Thinking of this, the guy Ji Ling Ling shuddered! But then he felt that he was too worried, ten sword coins, even if the spirit of the ancestors came, he couldn't steal it back!

There is a large shantytown made of thatched grass and yellow mud in the south of the city, which cannot be sheltered by the wind and rain, and Xia Ye's home is in the fifth row of the left lane.

This is a famous slum in Xia City, it is evening, it is time to eat, but not even half of the smoke can be seen, the atmosphere is extremely cold.

The sound of hungry children crying can be heard far away, sometimes mixed with the beating and scolding of men and the sobbing of women.

The dirt road was wet and muddy by the rain, and Xia Ye's straw sandals were already soaked, soaked in cold water, and his toes were stiff.

Even the heroes of the tribe are afraid that even the heroes of this ghost weather will freeze and shrink their eggs.

The left eye began to hurt again, and the piercing feeling made the corners of Xia Ye's mouth twitch, and what was even more troublesome was that he began to hallucinate.

Since a serious illness a few days ago, some warm yellow light clusters have drifted around the eyes like clouds.

Fortunately, after wearing an eye patch, you can't see it, otherwise it will affect your eyesight too much.

If it weren't for the eyelid jumping, it would indicate that there was something around that needed attention, and Xia Ye would have dug it up a long time ago.

Of course, my sister's comfort is also a reason, thinking that Xia Lingyue is trying to save money and wants to find a big witchcraft to treat herself, this kind of Ling Chi's general pain does not seem to be difficult to bear.

Thinking of his sister, Xia Ye's pace was a lot more urgent, but when he turned the corner of the street and the thatched house was in sight, his face suddenly changed.

At this time, his house was like a whirlpool, frantically devouring the vitality around him, and he also made a loud sound from time to time.
