The bone knife cut into the fat meat, and blood spilled out.

The bright red blood spread in the water, and before it could spread completely, the spirit fish in the water seemed to smell the best delicacy in the world, and quickly wagged its tail, and the wind rushed over, eating up the drop of blood.

There was a bloody scar on the belly of the trevally, and he carried his own flesh in his hand, and slashed it with a bone knife, cutting it as thin as a cicada's wings, and the flesh that was cut off fell into the puddles one by one.

"Wow!"

The surface of the water began to shake violently, and the beating water droplets continued to rise and fall, and those spirit fish scrambled to be the first, squeezing forward and backward, scrambling one after another.

The trevally walked from the farthest point to the nearest place, and the piece of flesh in his hand was no longer scarred on its stomach, it had scabbed, and the blood no longer flowed.

He moved the flesh from his stomach and covered the wound with the fat, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alas, there are no graves anymore, but I want to raise these spirit fish with meat, is it possible that I want to become a person like an old Taoist priest, and really kill people and eat meat?"

The trevally sighed as he turned his head, his eyes hidden in the fat and staring in Xu Bai's direction.

Through the hazy darkness, Xu Bai knew that the other party had discovered himself.

The scene in front of him can be described as extremely weird, it is the first time he has seen a fish with his own meat, and the evil energy in it makes people feel cautious and panicked when they look at it.

But now that it's been discovered, it's not a big deal, just go out and see what this guy is up to.

Xu Bai closed the gap in the window, then came to the door and opened the door.

The trevally didn't leave, and stayed where it was, staring straight at Xu Bai who had just come out.

"Brother, I don't sleep at night, but peek at me raising fish, do you know that for us fishermen, this is a very disrespectful thing."

Fisherman?

Xu Bai's fingers rubbed his chin, which sounded like a business, but he now found that the fat person in front of him didn't seem to be hostile to him.

Whether it was when I first found him, or when I talked to him now, there was not a word of hostility, as if it were an ordinary conversation.

"In the middle of the night, I heard movement outside, so I couldn't help but be curious and watched it." Xu Bai put down his hand and said with a smile: "If there is anything offensive, please forgive me, but I see the way you feed the fish, according to the current situation, if you continue like this, you will not be able to feed your whole body of meat." ”

The trevally fell silent.

There was a look of sadness on that fat face, as if thinking of painful memories and falling into a kind of entanglement.

He raised his hand and pounded his head so hard that it reverberated through the night.

His hair was hammered by him, and it seemed to be scattered, and it fluttered in the wind.

"I know that too, but what can I do?"

"I can't learn from them to eat people, after eating people, am I still a person?"

"I can only go to the graveyard to find those dry bones, absorb the energy in the dry bones, and then feed the fish with my own meat."

As soon as the trevally's legs weakened, he sat down directly on the ground, his eyes became dazed, and he was talking to himself.

"I don't know how long I'll last, maybe when I can't feed them, I'll turn into those man-eating monsters too."

"This world is too difficult, too difficult, some people are persistent, but it is difficult."

"I can't hold on anymore, and I don't know how long it will be before I'll be like them, woo woo woo ......"

In the end, the trevally lay on the ground with its fat body curled up and cried bitterly.

The cry was like the cry of a night crow, unpleasant and piercing.

In those puddles, the spirit fish emerged from the surface of the water, staring in Xu Bai's direction with their bright eyes open.

The strange fish's eyes, under the illumination of the moonlight, reflected a cold light.

Xu Bai's true yuan force was running, and the demonic patterns were all over his body.

Wrong.

Just now, as the fish stared at him, he felt a chill to his bones.

Turning his gaze back to the ground, the trevally was still crying, but the cry was getting quieter.

When the cry was so faint that it could not be heard by the ears, the trevally raised its head, and the tears from its eyes were blood-colored.

"Can you help me?" "I don't want to go on like this, I don't want to be a complete cannibal for the sake of resources," the trevally asked. ”

Xu Bai frowned and did not speak.

Sure enough, as he expected, these people have changed for resources, become more crazy, and more desperate.

Everyone here has a problem, including the trevally in front of you.

"What do you want me to help you?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said.

The trevally climbed up from the ground with both hands and feet, with a hint of madness in its eyes.

"I don't want to kill people, I don't want to hurt you, my spirit fish can replace resources, as long as it can continue to reproduce like this, we will not lack resources."

"We?" Xu Bai said: "You mean you want to divide the spirit fish among me?" ”

The trevally nodded vigorously: "Of course, I will divide the spirit fish in half with you, so that even if the resources are less, we will not die because of the resources, but you have to give me something." ”

As he spoke, he was slowly approaching Xu Bai, and with every step, the fat on his body trembled, looking like a huge mountain of meat rolling.

Xu Bai's eyes gradually became calm, and he asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Your bones!" The trevally licked his lips, and there was greed in his eyes: "I've tried, I've tried many times, you look at these things." ”

He turned quickly and ran to a room with his hands propped up, and the room collapsed in an instant under his support.

The trevally kept rummaging through the ruins, and he turned out the human skins and fell to the ground.

He said softly as he showed Xu Bai.

"Look at these, these are the skins of ordinary people, and after they are boneless, they can't be repaired by spirit fish at all."

"I'm thinking that if it's a good person, the spirit fish can make up for him, so I have a perfect plan."

"You let me dismantle your bones, and after I eat your bones, I will feed the spirit fish, and when it is mature, we will be half of each other, and your bones will also grow, so that it can be cycled."

The trevally's eyes became more and more frenzied, and the greed became more and more sufficient.

Xu Bai looked at the human skins, there were hundreds of them, and his tone became cold: "This is what you call not eating the same kind?" ”

I didn't expect that in such a dilapidated house, there were such dirty things hidden.

Compared with the old Taoist priest's straightforwardness, the fat trevally in front of him like a ball is even more gloomy.

When the trevally heard what Xu Bai said, he shook his hand with fear on his face and began to explain to Xu Bai.

"I didn't eat their meat, I didn't kill them, I just experimented with them.

"But the bodies of ordinary people are too fragile, and after they died, I just fed them to the spirit fish.

"I even kept their skins and worshiped them with incense every day and night, and they would be proud to know that they could die for the sake of resources."

Xu Bai said: "Why don't you just solve it yourself, didn't you say let me help you?" ”

"No, no, no." The trevally said quickly: "I now have a new method, let's cooperate, as long as we cooperate, we can all survive in this world where resources are exhausted." ”

He showed a flattering smile, as if asking Xu Bai to cooperate.

In those puddles, the spirit fish poked out more and more heads, and the cold light in the eyes of the spirit fish became more and more sufficient, as if it would jump out of the puddle in the next second, tearing Xu Bai to pieces.

Xu Bai raised his right hand, and gold and gray and white were constantly intertwined behind him: "I think you're still dead." ”

As the words fell, the face of the trevally, which had been flattering, changed, becoming gloomy and weird, and his eyes turned into never-ending madness.

The trevally walked quickly towards Xu Bai, talking as he walked.

"I'll give you a chance, I'll give you a chance to get rich together, but you don't want it, then don't blame me."

"I will tie you up, take your bones every day, and feed you with a spirit fish."

"Don't worry, when you taste the benefits, you will thank me, because I let you live in this world of depleted resources, which is a great benefit!"

As the trevally advanced, the spirit fish in those puddles finally moved.

One by one, the spirit fish jumped out of the puddle and crossed a graceful trajectory in mid-air, but they did not fall into the puddle again, but were like ancient photos, frozen in mid-air.

"Grab him, babes, so you have something to eat." The trevally turned its head and said to the spirit fish.

He was only halfway through his words, because not far in front of him, a terrifying light suddenly erupted.

The sword is like a scorching sun, scorching thousands of miles.

Gold and off-white, looming in the sword, the chaotic aura intensified the horror of the sword.

The trevally didn't even react, and was overwhelmed by the blade.

There were no screams, not even cries of pain, everything was as calm as water.

In the midst of the sword, the trevally turned into a piece of loess, and finally the loess turned to ashes and disappeared into the sky.

Xu Bai didn't stop, he turned his head, looked at the spirit fish that were frozen in mid-air, and said slowly: "It turns out that you are the real gods. ”

In mid-air, the eyes of the spirit fish shone with a strange light, and as Xu Bai turned around, these fish rose into the sky, constantly blending in the sky.

Each fish collided with each other, turning into a mass of dark red flesh, which did not fall, but continued to merge.

The fused flesh and blood formed a human body, and from Xu Bai's perspective, this person was exactly the same as the trevally just now, but there was no skin, it was all flesh and fascia.

There was no emotion in the eyes of the spirit fish, just a frenzy that made the hairs stand on end, as if it wanted to swallow all reason.

It lifted its fat, flesh-and-blood, skinless palm and slapped it down at Xu Bai.

Behind the spirit fish Nianshen, there is a huge mountain of human heads.

Human heads are connected to each other one after another, and each head has the same madness on its face.

They opened their mouths and let out a silent roar, and with the palm of the spirit fish chanting god, they pressed towards Xu Bai.

Meat palms, human head mountains.

When the two are combined, even Xu Bai's current strength feels a hint of oppression.

He didn't take it lightly, he slowly raised his right hand and slashed across the sky.

The Three Uniques of Swords - Kill People!

With a knife out, the destructive power is amazing, and the sky is shattered.

The earth was trembling, and the sword light reflected the whole dark night into day, and in the sword light, the flesh palm of the spirit fish was gradually turning into ashes, and the head mountain that followed was fiercely pressed down.

Even if he beheaded someone, he only destroyed half of the person's head, and the remaining half smashed on Xu Bai with wailing and weirdness.

Xu Bai only felt a significant pressure all over his body, and at the same time, the bones in his body were in pain.

This Mantou Mountain is actually drilling into his flesh, and its purpose is to penetrate his bones and eat his bones.

The patterns on the skin became brighter and brighter, and the head mountain let out a terrible wail, and the more it penetrated inside, the more it gradually turned into ashes.

"You want to eat me, but you don't have the teeth."

Xu Bai's face was calm, but the true yuan power in his body seemed to be scorched by the scorching sun, evaporating at an incredible speed.

He raised his right hand again and crackled at the mountain of people in front of him.

The brilliant sword light reappeared, and the sky was once again white.

The rest of the head mountain was gradually disappearing, and after the last human head disappeared, everything fell into calm, and the darkness was illuminated by the moonlight, and Xu Bai put his hands behind his back, his face was indifferent.

He didn't take it lightly because he had solved a big problem, because in his ears, there was a jingling sound.

Looking back, his eyes followed the direction of the voice, and he saw that at the gate, there were more than a dozen people walking slowly.

The leader was dressed in white and held a bell in his hand, and he approached as he shook it.

They wore high hats on their heads, and their faces were painted with red oil paint, painted with patterns.

"Strange things happen one after another, and it seems that they don't want me to rest." Xu Bai said secretly.

He didn't put away the heavenly change, the patterns and slashing people on his body were not used again, and the true yuan power in his body was recovering rapidly.

Now he was alone, and in the face of mysterious thoughts, he had to be vigilant.

The people who were ringing the bell formed a long line, and they didn't stop until they walked in front of Xu Bai.

At this time, Xu Bai realized that these people in front of him were different.

To be precise, except for the people who led the team at the beginning, there were all paper people behind him.

The paper figure has no facial features, its whole body is pale, and it is not even painted with clothes, it is just a shoddy form.

This kind of feeling makes people feel as if they were done in a hurry.

The only thing that is slightly more delicate is that these paper figures are painted with strange oil paint patterns on their faces.

As the person leading the way at the front shook the bell, the group of paper figures walked in unison, and they conveyed a cold feeling that made the hairs stand on end.

Paper man?

Xu Bai instantly thought of the business of making paper people, after all, catkins and this industry have an inseparable relationship, so Xu Bai also knows something about this industry.

"Alas......"

A faint sigh came from the mouth of the person who led the way at the beginning, he put away the bell, slowly walked in front of Xu Bai, and suddenly bent down.

"Thank you for this brother, for completely liberating him."

Dressed in white and wearing a high hat, coupled with the bell on his hand and the pattern on his face, although this person is bending over to Xu Bai, there is always an inexplicable sense of horror.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "You are very familiar with the trevally?" ”

"Yes." The man in the white coat sighed: "To be precise, I am familiar with everyone on this mountain. ”

"After they died, I was responsible for collecting their bodies, but unfortunately, I didn't receive them this time."

"Collecting corpses?" Xu Bai said vigorously: "Do you take the initiative to collect the corpses for them, or are they passively collected by you?" ”

"Of course they're passive." The man in the white hat smiled: "I am a paper man, and I am also a corpse collector, if you die on this mountain, you must remember to call the corpse collector before you die, after all, after death, it is also a good resource." ”

Xu Bai thought that there would be a fight next, but after the man in the white hat said this, he turned around and left.

There were no battles, not even clashes.

The white-clad man in the top hat shook the bell and led the way in front, and the paper figures followed with stiff steps, gradually moving away......

Xu Bai's gaze fell on the last paper man, and he saw that in the translucent white paper, there seemed to be a corpse shaking slightly.

He also knew a lot of new things, but how could he not guess the thoughts of the man in the white hat.

"The corpse is also a kind of resource, after people die, they are put in paper figures and used as resources, the world's resources are exhausted, but they are all struggling, and there is not only a way of cannibalism." Xu Bai thought in his heart.

The first old Taoist priest he met took the road of cannibalism, the second one met the trevally, which was a routine of raising fish, and the third corpse collector was specially unable to get along with the corpse.

When a world is gradually exhausted, people, as the primates of all things in this world, must survive in the cracks, and these countless ways of survival are born, although they are very cruel and disgusting.

Xu Bai didn't stop this person, because he felt a huge pressure on this person, and this person's strength was definitely not low, on the contrary, it was stronger than the person he killed just now.

It's not that he's not unsure, he just doesn't want to waste time in terms of fighting, his purpose is the progress bar.

"Let's look for it first and see if there's anything good here."

Thinking of this, Xu Bai didn't think much about it, turned around and searched for it in the various rooms, and after about a pillar of incense, Xu Bai walked out of a dilapidated house with a book in his hand.

There are words printed on the book, and he can't read the words written on it at all, after all, this is the handwriting during the period of the struggle for hegemony, and it is normal for him to not be able to read it.

But it doesn't matter at all, because there is a progress bar on it, and that's enough.

There is a progress bar to prove that you can liver, and those who can liver progress bar are all good things.

"It's finally a bit of a gain." Xu Bai put the book in his arms, glanced at the night around him again, and looked up at the moon in the sky at the same time.

The moon still hung in its original position, without the slightest change, and as he thought, all time was frozen.

But they were able to move around at will in this frozen time, and this strange feeling made him a little puzzled.

"We'll talk about it when we're done exploring the mountain."

He had only reached the halfway point of the mountain, and there was still half the way to explore, and all he wanted now was to finish exploring the mountain first, and then go to another place.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai didn't continue to stay, and raised his feet and walked towards a position.

Follow this mountain road and go straight up, but there is no danger along the way.

After walking for nearly half an hour or so, Xu Bai stopped, looked at the mountain road in front of him, and frowned tightly.

The mountain road not far ahead looks like a normal mountain road, but if you look in both directions, you will see two rows of candles on either side of the mountain road.

The candle had been lit, and in the darkness of the environment, it brought the only trace of warmth, but this warmth was shrouded in darkness.

The darkness is warm, and there is a hint of gloom.

"What is the way to make a living?" Xu Bai became interested.

The first was to eat people, the second was to raise fish, and the third was to collect corpses, and he was now curious to know what this fourth was.

With such an interest, Xu Bai unfolded his soul.

The spirit began to spread, and it walked up the mountain road.

Under the induction of the divine soul, Xu Bai saw that the mountain road was full of candles.

Not only that, but the candle burns very slowly, and the body of the candle seems to be made of unknown materials, which is very resistant to burning.

The spirit walked straight along the mountain path, and finally, the candles in front of him gradually decreased, and at the end of the candles, there was a lonely tomb.

It was indeed a lonely grave, there was nothing outside the lonely grave, and there were no other graveyards around.

"Interesting, if you don't have a house, bring me a lonely grave, I want to see what the hell is there."

Xu Bai raised his feet and slowly walked into the mountain road with candles on both sides, and as he stepped out for the first time, the candles around him swayed, and a few candles were almost blown out by the wind that brought up.

Fortunately, the flame of the candle was very tenacious, and slowly returned to normal, Xu Bai walked up step by step, nothing happened along the way, and he came to the lonely grave very smoothly.

There is such a lonely grave, the surrounding is empty, all barren mountains and mountains, and in front of the lonely grave, there is a stele, there is no word on the stele, some are just dried black blood stains.

"The wordless monument, the lonely grave in the wilderness, who is buried here?"

Xu Bai didn't feel the danger coming, and he even felt that this place actually gave him a sense of security.

This inexplicable sense of security seems very strange, as if you are in a dangerous world, and a strange thing can give you a sense of security, which will make this weirdness even more serious.

】

"Why don't you dig it open?" Xu Bai had a bold idea and wanted to try it.

There are no words on this stele, and there is no progress bar, otherwise Xu Bai would even dare to carry this stele away.

After this idea appeared, Xu Bai became more and more uncontrollable.

Anyway, it's also in the ruins, and he doesn't pay much attention to it, just do what he says.

Raise your hand and flick your fingers slightly.

The next moment, a flash of swords flashed, and the lonely tomb was directly blown into ashes.

When the lonely grave in front of him was blown open, there was a fine coffin under the lonely grave.

Even though it was covered with mud, you could see through the cracks in the dirt, and the pitch-black coffin was made of excellent quality.

Until the lonely grave in front of him was blown open, there was still nothing abnormal, and he didn't even feel a trace of coldness, as if it was really a safe house.

"Offended."

Anyway, it was also a business of digging graves, so Xu Bai still said goodbye before he started.

With a volley in the air, the coffin lid of the coffin in front of him flew up directly and fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, Xu Bai finally saw the situation in the coffin.

In the coffin, there was a dry skeleton wearing a Taoist robe, the material of the Taoist robe must be excellent, because there were no signs of decay, but the corpse was only dry bones, proving that it had been buried here for a long time.

The two arms of the dry bones were tightly intertwined, overlapping the lower abdomen, and through the gap in the bones of the hand, a letter could be seen.

Xu Bai touched his chin, and finally reached out and picked up the letter.

He was very wary of this process, and thought that something strange would happen, but everything was as usual, and nothing happened.

The material of the letter is obviously very good, even after such a long time, it has not been damaged in the slightest, at most it has only turned a little yellow.

Xu Bai said another confession, and then opened the letter.

"I'm so stupid, I don't know the words of this period." After Xu Bai opened the letter, he remembered that the words of this period were already very ancient.

He was about to put the letter back in, but unexpectedly, when he saw the unintelligible words on the letter, he suddenly felt a shock.

The words reverberated directly in his soul as if they were spiritual, so that he could understand them.

To be precise, he still couldn't read it, but the words seemed to be transmitted directly in the soul, and they could convey the original meaning.

"What a clever method, when this person is alive, he must be a master of the soul."

Xu Bai sighed in his heart, closed his eyes, and felt the information in his mind.

Lines of text emerged, gradually becoming clear, and became words that he could recognize......

[I am the princess of Shiguo, and I learned the concept of three lives since I was a child, and if the latter sees the letter, it proves that the two of us are destined. 】

"Princess Shiguo?" Xu Bai scratched his head.

He had never heard the name of this country, and now he thinks that it should be a country during the period of the struggle for hegemony among all nations, and by now, it is estimated that it has long been drowned in the wheel of history.

The princess of the dignified generation was buried in this place, and there was only one lonely grave, which was a little desolate.

When an era reaches the end of its time, no matter what its identity, there is only such a lonely tomb left.

With such a mood, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and he continued to watch.

[Heaven and earth have changed greatly, resources have been exhausted, and all nations are vying for hegemony, I can't imagine that I have experienced such magnificent things in my short life. 】

[There are many geniuses, and there are many people who amaze the world, but no one can compete with heaven and earth, from a prosperous era to the last days. 】

[I have witnessed countless killings, countless human purgatory, and suddenly I feel a deep powerlessness. 】

[I am dying, but I don't want to do anything to hurt others, if people just want to live, they will hurt their own kind, just like wild beasts. 】

[I bury myself here, cut off all life, and at the same time lay an indelible array of candles. 】

[Before the national teacher went crazy, he once said to me that if someone can break through the candle array, it is my destined person, I don't know what a destined person is, but I am already dead. 】

[Perhaps, those who are destined can only get one corpse. 】

Candle Flame Array?

Destined for someone?

Xu Bai couldn't help but think of the two rows of candles he encountered on the mountain road.

That's a formation?

He felt that there was no obstacle at all along the way, could it be that it took too long, so the effect disappeared?

He doesn't believe in anyone who is destined, they have been dead for so long, even if this princess is destined, she is just a white bone.

"Alas, it's a pity that it's a princess of a country." Xu Bai sighed again.

The letter is not finished, but it continues.

[I apprenticed to the three-life concept and learned the three-life dao array, and I was fortunate to use this array to see the future. 】

[In the future, a young man will come to my grave, a young man wearing armor on the outside and a robe on the inside. 】

[He is the end of everything, and the beginning of everything, and I once felt that maybe he was the existence that could solve the depletion of resources. 】

[But then I learned that he wasn't, at least not in our time.] 】

[I'm going to die soon, but I really hope he can come and at least prove to the world that I'm right.] 】

……

At this point, the contents of the letter are gone.

Although there are not many words on it, Xu Bai has already sketched a picture in his mind.

Heaven and earth have changed greatly, resources have been depleted, and everything has fallen into purgatory on earth.

Princess Shiguo cut herself off from here, buried herself, and at the same time laid a candle flame array and left this letter.

These are not the most important things, the important thing is that the book mentions the man who wears armor on the outside and robes on the inside.

Xu Bai lowered his head, looking at his outfit, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Could it be that I'm this destined person?"

It's obvious that it's him.

After all, he is the only one who has this dress, and it mentions the future, and even more so that he is not a figure in the period of the struggle for hegemony.

There was no one else but him.

Xu Bai pondered for a moment and then put the letter back in the coffin.

Then, Xu Bai said six words in a very calm tone.

"Really? I don't believe it. ”

When these six words were spoken, the candles lit around them suddenly flickered and became extremely dim, but soon returned to normal.

Xu Bai continued......

"What bullshit, when you invaded my soul and told me the contents of this letter, I found out that you were alive."

"If I don't have the Divine Soul Exercises, maybe I've already caught your path."

"Let me think about it carefully, when did it start, I should have started when I set foot on this mountain road with candles on both sides."

"Since then, you have begun to affect my soul, if I believe it, will you be dragged into the coffin next?"

As he uttered the words one by one, the light of the candle flickered faster and faster.

When the last sentence was finished, the surrounding candles were abruptly extinguished.

Xu Bai turned his head and looked at the mountain road behind him, the mountain road that originally had two rows of candles was dark at the moment.

Behind him, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and Xu Bai felt a layer of goosebumps on the back of his neck.
