Chapter 879: Famine
The seeds of iron willow wood are different from those of iron willow wood, which is soft and brittle, and can be eaten. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is just bitter and astringent, and it can also irritate the stomach and intestines, causing diarrhea in ordinary people.
Therefore, in the past, the seeds of iron willow were not eaten by anyone.
These seeds that no one wanted to eat before, in this apocalyptic world after the invasion of the demons, they have just become precious food to save people's lives! Compared to starving to death, the terrible taste and slight side effects of Iron Willow Wood are simply not worth mentioning!
Although it takes a long time for iron willow to flower and bear fruit, the seeds are also preserved on the tree for a long time.
At this time, even in the bitter cold weather, the fruits of the iron willow wood in this valley still hung heavily on the branches, so that the hungry and faint people couldn't help but salivate in their mouths.
"Everyone, move faster! All the martial cultivators use the light body technique to jump up to the branches and pick these fruits as fast as possible! Every extra moment in this place, the danger increases! We must complete the task extremely quickly and return to Flame City as soon as possible!"
The crisp and heroic female voice quickly and clearly spread throughout the valley, and Qian Wushuang twisted his willow eyebrows, looking towards the open valley mouth from time to time, his expression extremely nervous.
This apocalyptic demon invasion has brought endless destruction and suffering. However, there is also a slight benefit.
With the invasion of the demons, the demonic qi that entered the Shenwu Continent was surging, and its powerful corrosion and disintegration effect actually caused many ancient ruins to reappear on the continent. Among these relics, there are many ancient powerhouses who have inherited them, which makes the young talents who survived like Qian Wushuang gain great benefits. The strength rose almost overnight!
By chance, Qian Wushuang obtained the inheritance of the ancient "beast cultivation" in an ancient ruin, and his strength broke to the realm of "Wuzun", and he was already considered an upper-level powerhouse in the human race. And although she failed to tame the powerful spirit beast, she had Xiaohong's presence by her side.
Even if she didn't sign a contract with Xiaohong, compared to Ning Chong's half-hung "Way of Beast Cultivation", she inherited the "Way of Beast Cultivation" from ancient times, which obviously showed great power, and with Xiaohong's cooperation, she could even barely compete with the strong of the Martial Sect!
Right now. Qian Wushuang was already a powerhouse in Flame City. The prestige status is extremely high. And compared to other old monsters of the Martial Sect who were named by the demons, after she left the city, she would not attract too much attention.
That's why this time, she accepted the task. Led hundreds of martial cultivators and ordinary people. Risking his life, he ran to this valley to collect iron willow fruits. Get food.
Because of the danger of the mission, the strength of the martial arts led by Qian Wushuang is not weak, and most of them are good players at the peak of martial arts. There are even two young men who are at the peak of the innate realm, just one step away from "Martial Venerable"!
This group of martial cultivators was extremely convinced of Qian Wushuang's strength and personality charm, and had great respect for Qian Wushuang. You must know that among the human race, the number of strong women is extremely rare, not to mention that Qian Wushuang is not only strong in personal strength, but also a good sister with Nalan Weak Snow, who is extremely worshiped and trusted by the survivors of Flame City as a "goddess"!
Boom!
Xiaohong threw up her small fist, and smashed it on an iron willow tree with a random fist, and suddenly a clear fist mark appeared on the body of the tree that was tough and tough, and the leaves of the iron willow sword type fell like snowflakes, and an iron willow fruit the size of a human head on the treetop was also shaken down, and smashed to the ground like a stone, splashing a lot of dust and mud.
After Xiaohong smashed the iron willow fruit down, the ordinary people around waited until the iron willow fruit was finished, and immediately rushed up with their hands and feet, and everyone scrambled to pick up the swarthy iron willow fruit on the ground as quickly as possible and threw it into the simple wooden cart on the side.
"Xiaohong, thank you for your hard work. ”
Qian Wushuang smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time, with a flick of her sleeves, dozens of iron willow fruits suddenly flew meekly into the spatial ring on her hand as if they were being held by a dexterous hand.
After all, the number of top-grade space rings is very small, so although many martial cultivators have space rings, the space is narrow, and they still have to rely on traditional methods to transport these iron willow fruits. And the space of Qianwushuang's space ring is relatively large, and she is also trying to fill the vacated space to somewhat reduce some of the pressure of transportation.
"It's not hard! It's as easy as sneezing!"
Xiaohong pursed her lips, her figure flashed again, and she heard the "bang" sound, and she had already hit several other iron willow woods with several punches. Suddenly, the huge iron willow fruit rained down.
While smashing the tree, Xiaohong said depressedly: "It's just too boring! It's still fun to kill the demons! Sister Wushuang, when are we going to fight the demons again?"
This world is already so unbearable, it is completely the end of the world, but Xiaohong does not look worried, and even regards the cruel and dangerous battle with the demons as a game......
Qian Wushuang smiled a little bitterly and was speechless. However, when she thought that Xiaohong was not a human and was extremely young, she understood again.
"Don't worry, there are still a long days ahead, and your chances of participating in the battle are ......"
Qian Wushuang smiled and comforted Xiaohong. And she has mastered Xiaohong's temper, and she is already familiar with comforting Xiaohong.
Sure enough, before Qian Wushuang's words came out, the impatience on Xiaohong's face disappeared, and he said happily: "Okay! Then let's harvest the iron willow fruit as soon as possible, and fight the demons as soon as we go back! When Daddy comes back, I will be very happy to know that I have cleaned up so many demons!"
Xiao Hong happily raised Ning Chong, and Qian Wushuang was stunned, but his face was gloomy for a while, and he sighed softly.
It had been a long time since Ning Chong was devoured by the Void Black Hole. These days, Nalan Xiaoxue forced a smile in front of others, but in private, he often rubbed the bone armor piece and quietly wept. Even if Qian Wushuang didn't deliberately observe, he had already seen it several times.
And Qian Wushuang was actually extremely worried, not knowing whether Ning Chong was alive or dead, even these days, she would have nightmares from time to time, dreaming that Ning Chong had encountered an accident, and then her heart was shocked, and she woke up in a cold sweat.
Qian Wushuang is a person who dares to act, dare to love and hate, and also dares to face his heart, and never likes to hide his feelings. She could already feel that she herself had fallen deep in the whirlpool of feelings, to the point where she couldn't extricate herself, but her good sister Nalan Wanxue also liked Ning Chong, and seemed to have made an agreement with Ning Chong......
"Alas...... If Ning Chong hadn't been swallowed up by the Void Black Hole, it is estimated that the situation of our human race would not have fallen to this point......"
Qian Wushuang didn't want to think about that difficult topic, and after forcibly stopping his cranky thoughts, he sighed.
"Of course! Daddy is the strongest and strongest person in the world! With him, what are these miscellaneous demon ants!"
Hearing Qian Wushuang's words, Xiao Hong immediately raised her little fist with joy and shouted with confidence. In her eyes, there was indeed no difficulty that could not be Ning Chong.
The work of picking iron willow fruits was proceeding rapidly, and when the martial cultivators were short of manpower, even ordinary people disregarded the danger to their lives, and climbed the tall and smooth iron willow trees, and cut down the iron willow fruits one by one.
In this valley far away from Flame City, the demon army could appear fatally at any time. Despite this, no one hesitated or flinched. Because now in the dire circumstances, they no longer have any other choice.
When the remnants of the Terrans gathered in Flame City, they immediately made it even more difficult for Flame City's already difficult food supply.
There are more than 10 million people in Flame City, and even if one person only eats one bite of porridge every day, it is a huge consumption. In a short period of time, the food consumption in Flame City was huge, and everyone had to starve to death because of the complete lack of food!
Food is very important to the human race! Even if it is as strong as the Martial Sect, it is impossible not to eat or drink, and a certain amount of food is needed to maintain body functions. Suffice it to say, there is nothing without food!
These days, because of the shortage of food, the martial cultivators are still reluctant, and those ordinary people who have no strength can only starve.
Especially in the past few days, when food became more and more scarce, the plants in Flame City were uprooted, bark, leaves, grass roots, belts...... As long as they can maintain their stomachs, they are stuffed into the mouths of people who are crazy with hunger.
In the back, even after these things were gone, there were even many people who risked their lives to eat the corpses of the killed demons. As a result, they were all poisoned alive.
In addition, in the darkest part of the Flame City, some of the frenzied have eaten the flesh of the starving......
If this terrible famine continues, the survivors of Flame City will become more and more desperate, and Flame City, which has lost its vitality, is afraid that it will completely disintegrate itself from the inside before the demons can break through the city.
Because of this, the upper echelons of Flame City had to abandon their original strategy of shrinking defense, and successively sent experts to lead the team outside the city in search of food.
It's just that the fruits that the teams that go out of the city every day are in short supply. So every time the procession entered the city, chaos was ensued, and there were always large groups of hungry people with yellow and thin faces and withered faces surrounding the convoy, looking at the food in the carts with greedy eyes.
Later, even if there were powerful martial arts guards next to the car, they could not withstand the power of hunger, and the hungry people on the outskirts rioted. These hungry people completely ignored it, and even openly snatched food from the car.
How can ordinary people compete with Wu Xiu. As a result, nearly 1,000 starving people were killed, and blood and corpses were piled up on the streets of the city.
Under the threat of hunger, no one can stay awake, and even if they see the lessons of the past, there will still be hungry people who have gone crazy and rioted, and come forward to grab food with eggs hitting stones. They don't care about life and death at all, or rather, death is the best relief for them...... (To be continued......)
