Walking down the hole step by step, Shen Yi slowed down his pace very carefully.

Originally, I thought it was just a staircase leading to a secret place, but I didn't expect it to be extremely long all the way down.

Walking to the back, it is simply a dark and deep underground passage.

If the passage was excavated by hand, it can only be said that the factory of the passage itself is huge enough.

Shen Yi and Wen Rou could only walk along the passage for about twenty minutes before finally seeing the exit.

Out of the passage, the eyes suddenly opened up.

They found themselves in a new valley, apparently in the belly of the mountain, with no roads on all sides, full of flowers, and a mountain spring not far away, without those monstrous and terrifying beasts, but a paradise.

On the other side of the valley, there are thatched houses.

Shen Yi and Wen Rou glanced at each other and walked towards the house at the same time.

It's just that when I got to the edge of the house, I saw that it was also dilapidated, and there was countless dust in the grass house, and it was obviously uninhabited for a long time.

Fortunately, there is no harassment from the beasts, so everything is still as it is.

"Shen Yi, come here!" a gentle voice came from behind the room.

Shen Yi walked over quickly, only to see that there were still seven or eight graves behind the house.

One of the graves was open, and a skeleton lay quietly in it, and a row of words was engraved on the stele in front of the grave:

The tomb of Shen Ruixia.

"It looks like everyone here is dead. Gently sighed: "This Shen Ruixia should be the last to die...... She dug a grave for herself and lay down in it when the time of death was near. Since she was the last to die, there was no one to give her a flat earth, so she could only let the tomb open like this. ”

Shen Yi's gaze fell on another small grave not far away.

It reads:

The tomb of the beloved son Yin Lu, died at the age of seven.

Gentleness also noticed the inscription on it.

She sighed lightly: "Huh, the tomb of the beloved son Yin Lu, seven years old, Shen Yi, what's going on? Could it be ......?"

Shen Yi nodded lightly: "I should have been born after coming to this world." There's no reason for a city to bring a seven-year-old into the world. ”

Gentleness had walked briskly past, looking at one tomb after another.

While watching, he said in a deep voice: "All of them are mother and son or mother and daughter tombs, a total of four pairs." ”

"No husband?" Shen Yi didn't look, just looked around.

"Nope. ”

"They should be dead outside. Shen Yi let out a long sigh: "I think I know what kind of place this is." It's a haven for former adventurers and their children. ”

"So...... In the once bloody city, it was possible to have children?"

"The wilderness, to be exact. Shen Yi replied leisurely.

Suddenly trying to see something, Shen Yi jumped into the tomb called Shen Ruixia, took out something from under the bones, and smiled at Wen Wen: "Maybe this thing can tell us something." ”

It was a diary.

Open the journal and see the first line:

"On the 12th day of coming into this world, I finally got a notebook. I'm excited, and even though it doesn't do anything, Xiaobo says we can use it to document our experiences. Although I don't think that will have any effect, since it is Xiaobo who said it, I might as well do it. ”

"It's a hellish world, full of terrible monsters. In order to survive, we had to stick together and fight desperately. Surprisingly, there seems to be some kind of imposing power here that makes us stronger and more powerful in battle. Xia Ning liked the feeling of power he got after killing monsters, and he said that this was not hell, but a paradise for human evolution. But I felt like hell was here. I could see in his eyes that something terrifying was growing in him. ”

"On the 20th day of coming to this world, the record: We killed a terrible monster and paid the price of three lives, and now we only have 11 people left. ”

"On the 28th day, a day worth recording, we finally came out of that terrible forest and found a camp—a camp built by the shipwrecked, who called themselves adventurers, and told us that this place was called Camp of Death, a strange world controlled by unknown beings, which they called their masters. The only point we have here is to kill, train, grow, and one day, become the perfect warrior needed to dominate......"

"Unknown Life...... Dominating ......" Shen Yi involuntarily chewed on these two terms: "In this way, this world is really controlled by other lives." ”

Although from the beginning, Shen Yi suspected that it was not humans who created all this, it was not until this moment that they were truly confirmed.

Flipping through the diary and continuing to read, most of the records behind are the process of some adventurers fighting.

What intrigued Shen Yi was that, according to records, most of the adventurers fought directly with fierce beasts in the wilderness, and there was no so-called mission world. The adventurers' abilities are completely obtained by killing fierce beasts, and there is no complete skill system.

They seem to live in a wild world, with no ability system, no city, only endless battles and deaths, and the probability of death for adventurers is even higher.

"On the 138th day, a day to never forget, Xia Ning went mad! he chased everyone in the camp like a wild beast. He became incomparably strong, and he became incomparably terrifying. He completely lost his mind, immersed in a killing spree, and even challenged the Juggernaut...... He was obliterated by the Juggernaut. ”

"Day 142. Jia Rui is gone, Brother Li is gone, and four powerful adventurers are also gone. Xiao Bo said that they were all adventurers who had broken through the fifth level, and were chosen by the Juggernaut to become the Juggernaut's warriors. I don't know who they're going to fight, but I do know that the camp's defenses have been weakened once again. Everyone's mood is dull because tomorrow ...... It's the day of the beast tide again. ”

"On the 146th day, the terrible beast tide finally ended. There are 139 people left in the camp, and only a third remains...... I survived. ”

"Day 158, Record: I'm pregnant, it's Xiaobo's. What should I do?

Shen Yi sighed at the same time as Gentle.

Although it was only a few words, at that moment, Shen Yi and Wen Rou still felt the panic in the heart of this woman named Shen Ruixia.

Sighing softly, Shen Yi turned to the next page.

"Day 175. Xiao Bo excitedly told me that he had discovered a place that was a paradise. There are no beasts, no danger of death, we can live there in peace, away from everything from now on. I was skeptical that it would ever be that simple, but Xiaobo had already decided. He decided to build a future for our unborn child. He began to woo adventurers everywhere, trying to build a castle outside that paradise and hold a piece of land. ”

"Day 188. Xiao Bo contacted about forty adventurers. We began to hunt and start building castles and opening underground passages. This is destined to be a protracted project, but for the sake of the children, everyone is out of the way. We have to find a safe space for our children and for ourselves. For the sake of secrecy, Xiaobo decided that all participants would die in batches until all personnel left the camp. ”

What follows is mostly the painstaking narrative of building a castle, and Shen Yi quickly flipped through a few pages and finally saw:

"On the 334th day, the castle was finally built, and everyone was excited. Xiaobo said that the castle is very strong, even if the beast tide comes, we can withstand it, I hope so. I could feel that the baby in my belly wanted to come out, and the little one was always naughty and kicked me. He doesn't know what kind of environment he will be born in......"

"On the 362nd day, the secret was finally revealed. The camp leader approached us and asked us to give up the castle, but Xiaobo firmly disagreed. When the big leader left, his eyes were very resentful. After he left, Xiaobo chased after him...... He killed the Great Chief. ”

"On the 395th day, a new wave of beasts came. We held out the tide of beasts under the cover of the castle, but the camp was finished. Today Xiaobo told me that he has broken through the fifth level for a long time. I was surprised, how did he hide from the Dominant? Xiaobo said that he didn't know either, but not only him, but there were other people who had also begun to break through to the fifth level. He discovers that the Juggernaut is not omniscient. He felt that maybe he could rebel against the Lord. It's a terrible thought......"

Seeing this, Shen Yi and Gentle glanced at each other at the same time, and a strange brilliance burst out in their eyes.

They didn't say anything, and Shen Yi continued to turn to the next page:

"On the 412th day, the child was born, it was a boy, and it was very cute. Xiaobo gave him a name, Yin Lu. ”

"On the 445th day, is the peaceful life finally coming to an end? Xiaobo hasn't been back for four days in a row, what the hell is going on? ”

"On the 462nd day, Xiaobo finally returned! He told me that he had gone far away in search of other camps. He found it, and he tried to contact them and rebel against the Lord. Oh my God, he's really crazy. I saw a frenzy in his eyes, which I had seen in Xia Ning's eyes, and I was so scared...... I'm afraid he's completely addicted. Dominate...... It's not something we can fight against. ”

On the 486th day, Taoyuan's second child was born, and Xiaolu was finally no longer alone. However, the fathers are spending less and less time here. I know what they're planning......"

"On the 513th day, I heard the news that another camp was finished. Not by the tide of beasts, but by the master directly obliterated. They tried to rebel against the Juggernaut, who descended on the punishing forces. I advised Xiaobo not to do anything dangerous, but he was really crazy, he didn't listen to me, and he didn't even care about the child's life or death. I know that sooner or later, they will all die...... He is heading towards the point of no return. ”

On the 592nd day, Xiaobo suddenly came back covered in blood. He told me that the revolt had failed. The Juggernaut already knows everything, and the punitive forces are coming. Interestingly, this day also happens to be the day when the beast tide comes. Xiaobo hopes to use the beast tide to fight with the other party again. ”

"Day 595. Blood, blood everywhere, even the air was filled with the smell of blood. There were dead people everywhere, Xiaobo died, Han Ping died, Jerry also died, everyone died, only the eight of us remained. But they also killed a lot of enemies...... I finally met the punitive troops. It turns out that they are the punishment troops...... Jia Rui, Brother Li, those adventurers who had broken through the fifth level, they came back and waved their butcher knives at their former partners......"

"Brother Li didn't kill me, he still remembers me, and remembers me, the little girl who fed him medicine back then...... It is not pointless, he said, to resist. The Juggernaut has recognized his mistake, and he is working to fix it. In the near future, there will be changes here, and adventurers will not be the same as before...... Although he didn't know how much of a change it was. When he left, I asked him what if he let the Juggernaut find out that we were still alive......?" The Lord is not God, not omniscient, not omnipotent. ”

"We survived, in this valley. ”

"There is no longer a threat to life, far away from that bloody life. ”

"But our man is dead. ”

"They used their own resistance to win the current peace. ”

"Maybe it's not just now. ”

"A few days ago, Brother Li came to see us once. He said that there had been a change outside, that the Juggernaut no longer appeared openly, and that in its place was the blood crest that would appear on every adventurer. The Juggernaut believes that in order to maintain authority, it is necessary to maintain mystery, through which humanity no longer has a direct target to rebel against. So instead of coming into contact with humans, they invented the Blood Emblem to remotely control humans through commands. ”

Brother Li sighed and said that the Juggernaut had not really understood human beings. Their means are only temporary. But as long as there is resistance, there will come a time when people will get what they deserve, and no one knows when that day will come. But Brother Li called our era the first age. After the change, the era is the Second Age. And the era that Xiaobo and Brother Li are looking forward to and striving for may not appear until the Third Age. ”

"I want to ...... We'll never be able to wait for that day. ”

Fever, overslept, sorry.
