Chapter 196: A Thousand Years Later?
The night owl struggled violently, flapping its wings frantically. It let out a terrible roar, leaving only a few feathers floating in midair.
The night owl's screams were gone, and his body was completely swallowed up by the inky cloud, and everything was calm as if nothing had happened.
The window was broken, and the smell of rotten flesh drifted out along the window, gradually moving away, there were fewer and fewer refugees alive in Haicheng, and carrion was becoming more and more difficult to obtain, and now Jiangcheng's corpse was like a large piece of tempting fat, which could quickly attract a large number of night owls and crows.
Day after day, month after month, spring and autumn, in just a few months, there are countless night owls and crows who want to covet this piece of human carrion, but without exception, they are all swallowed by the ink-colored cloud in the depths of Jiangcheng's dantian, and there are not even bones left.
On the floor of the office, a thick layer of feathers has been piled up on the bed, like the most exclusive black carpet.
In the depths of the dantian, the inky black clouds became denser and denser, and the volume became larger than before, it was still like an indomitable soul, and whenever it accumulated enough vitality, it would impact those blocked meridians.
Under the washing of black vitality again and again, the meridians of Jiangcheng have been widened, and those meridians used to be like a small stream, but now they are like big rivers, big rivers.
The black vitality is like a huge wave on the beach, after one wave, followed by another wave, the vitality in the dantian no longer looks so weak now, sucking the flesh and blood of the endless night owl and the crow, and the power of the darkness to devour the martial soul has become stronger and stronger.
On this day, a large meridian was penetrated, and the vitality once again traveled throughout Jiang Cheng's body, and a few days later, another meridian was also penetrated, connecting to his liver.
More and more black vitality, like black threads, they passed through the eight veins of Jiangcheng's strange meridians, and began to connect bones and internal organs.
Winter has passed, and Haicheng has completely become a nest of insects, and you can see burrows deep underground everywhere, as well as swarms of long-horned beetles that also come out during the day.
It seems that the insects like the earth's environment very much and are already planning to make their home here.
The inexplicable aura of vitality emanating from the black clouds began to gradually attract those terrifying second- and second-level horned beetles, and whenever they saw Jiang Cheng's broken body, their compound eyes would show excitement.
But when they approached Jiang Cheng, they were swallowed by the black clouds in an instant, and the black clouds in Jiang Cheng's dantian became bigger and bigger, and they became more and more powerful, like a huge fierce beast lurking in Jiang Cheng's body.
As more insects and crows were devoured, more and more meridians were gradually penetrated, and the black vitality was like a line, connecting the five internal organs and two hundred and six bones, more and more vitality lines were connected together, and more and more bones began to regain the huge breath of life.
The liver, the kidneys, the spleen, the appetite, one bone, ten bones, thirty bones. A hundred bones.
On this day, the black vitality finally penetrated all the bones and organs in Jiang Cheng's body, and the black vitality line connected Jiang Cheng's body into a whole, at this moment, Jiang Cheng's entire body exuded a black inexplicable aura, which was enough to make many third- and second-level beetles in Haicheng feel palpitations.
It's another spring, during this period of time, the black vitality has been frantically repairing Jiang Cheng's body, muscles and bones are gradually growing on the white bones, the red tender meat is regaining life, the cells in the body are rapidly dividing, filling the gaps that have been rotted by air and bacteria, Jiang Cheng's rotten body has also been gradually repaired, the new meat has taken off the dead skin, and Jiang Cheng's skin is now like a baby.
One day in April, Jiang Cheng slowly woke up from his sleep, and the moment he opened his eyes, Jiang Cheng found that his entire body was actually covered with black feathers.
On the bed, on the ground, and on the windowsill, there were crows and night owl feathers everywhere, and Jiang Cheng was stunned at this moment.
"Where am I, how can there be so many feathers here?"
The body was still a little weak, and after lying on the bed for a long, long time, when Jiang Cheng tried to sit up, he would feel a burst of dizziness in front of him.
Where am I? Wasn't I beaten to death by the book in the clouds? Is this heaven? No wonder Jiang Cheng is blind to the feathers in this office, this scene is indeed a little weird, it doesn't look like it's in the world.
Biting my lip, it hurts, a fishy and salty breath breaks through the taste buds, it is the smell of blood, I can bite my lip with my teeth, I will feel the pain, am I not dead yet?
Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw the shattered glass window on the windowsill, and the bright sunlight was outside the glass window.
The sunlight shone on Jiang Cheng through the glass window, he covered his eyes with his palms, and looked out through the gap, he hadn't opened his eyes for a long, long time, and he wasn't very used to this kind of strong light now.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng was sure of one thing, he was still alive, and through the glass window, he could distinguish the shops outside the window, and Jiang Cheng knew that he was in the Carrefour supermarket now.
Could it be that after the battle between me and Yunzhongshu, I have been staying here? Looking at the weather outside, it seems that it is the season of fever again, so how long have I stayed here?
Where did Wang Yali go? Pieces of broken memories were connected, and at this moment, Jiang Cheng finally remembered what happened a long time ago.
Outside the window, Meibang's shop has been turned over by a large tree, and the colorful decorative walls have long been dilapidated, if it weren't for the completely faded blue English letters, which are very dazzling in the sunlight, Jiang Cheng would not even be able to tell that it was once Meibang's clothing store.
The weeds have grown so tall that even the shop has been in ruins by the weeds and trees, so how long have I been here? Who can tell me how long I have been here?
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng saw his hair, the hair was black and thick, now it was about ten meters long, the black hair was like an inky river, extending into the distance, almost piling up the entire room, the light was too dim just now, and the feathers were all black, so Jiang Cheng didn't see it clearly, but now after seeing it clearly, a great fear rose in his heart.
With such long hair, how long have I been here?
One year, ten years, one hundred years, thousands of years?
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng inexplicably felt a panic in his heart, if a thousand years had really passed, then Wang Yali would have turned into a pile of white bones, and even his parents would not be able to survive the years.
Jiang He, Bai Long, Tang Tang, Zhang Tienan, Chen Shitang, Hei Dazhuang, Evil Heaven, those familiar people, will they never see each other again?
Jiang Cheng held his long black hair in both hands, and then scratched in pain, as if crazy. It took a long time for him to be freed from his madness.
No, I can't moan here anymore, I'm going to see for myself how many years have passed.
Turning over and getting out of bed, Jiang Cheng's body is still very weak, he hasn't moved for a long time, and even the joints of his bones seem to be rusty.
The moment he got out of bed, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that he was very hungry, although he was a martial artist of the Bone Realm, he still needed to eat.
The stomach acid in his appetite was surging wildly, Jiang Cheng's stomach made a gurgling sound, he hadn't eaten for so long, his stomach was deflated, and the stomach acid almost burned his entire appetite.
Go outside to find something to eat first, and then find out the current time, this is the idea of Jiangcheng County.
The military coat on his body had long been in tatters, stained with dirty blood and shredded flesh, Jiang Cheng directly took off all his clothes, and his naked and striped body was naked.
This office is huge, and there is a huge black wardrobe in front of the head of the bed, Jiang Cheng came to the wardrobe and opened it later.
There are a lot of clothes in the wardrobe, and most of them are famous brands, Yun Zhongshu is worthy of being the president of the Shenlong Society, even in the last days, he can get so many expensive clothes.
But now, these clothes are all from Jiang Cheng. Seeing that there was an unopened suit in the wardrobe, a glimmer of light flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes.
That's it, Jiang Cheng reluctantly rinsed his body with a box of Master Kong's mineral water, and then put on the brand-new suit, the suit is black, with a set of white shirts inside, which fits Jiang Cheng very well.
A punch exploded the rusty security door, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that his vitality had been greatly improved, he used to be a low-level martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm, and now he is still a low-level martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm, but he just felt it, and found that his vitality amount had reached a terrifying thirty.
A normal low-level martial artist in the Bone Forging Realm could probably use about fifteen Yuan Qi to attack, but Jiang Cheng had now actually reached a terrifying thirty Yuan Qi power.
After a difficult rebirth of his body and meridians, the strength that has now burst out has helped Jiang Cheng rise to a new level.
Walking out of the office on the third floor, Jiang Cheng found the corpses of those Divine Dragon Society warriors in the corridor, most of those corpses had been decomposed, revealing the white bones inside, just looking at the corruption of those corpses, Jiang Cheng guessed that he would not be in bed for more than ten years at most.
This made Jiang Cheng's heart reassured, and he was full of energy, and quickly walked from the third floor of Carrefour supermarket to the first floor.
The sky outside was very blue and blue, as if it had been washed, Haicheng used to be a large industrial city, and the city was surrounded by development zones, and inside the development zone were factories next to each other.
In those years, the sky of Haicheng was always gray, and sometimes, even once a month in a row, the sun could not be seen, and the gray air blocked the sun, which was not fog, but haze that was harmful to the human body.
Sometimes, when they were ten meters away from each other, it was even difficult to see each other's faces clearly, and Haicheng at that time was shrouded in a layer of gray haze everywhere, like a fairyland on earth.
Looking at today's blue sky, breathing in the extremely fresh air, and watching the green plants growing freely in this ruined city, Jiang Cheng shook his head with a wry smile.
It's ironic.
