In the realm of nothingness, the black clouds reflect a gray and dim light, rendering everything in this world, no one knows where it starts, and no one knows how to end it, human beings can only live in the cruel world, adapt to the environment, and abide by the rules of fragmentation.

Reiki, that is a powerful energy body, it is pervasive in every corner of this world, as long as all life forms in this world will inevitably escape from inhaling it, but the difference is that people are different, and the other is what we call "them".

Because they are not afraid of natural disasters that are extremely terrible to human beings, nor will they be limited in absorbing aura like humans, once they are excessive, they will die due to the riot of aura in their bodies, on the contrary, each alien has a terrible aura repository like a black hole, and no matter how much they inhale, they will not die because of the riot of aura, which also leads to the fact that the aliens are very strong and tall, and the destructive ability is even more terrifying.

Here, although human beings also have alien powers because of the environment, they are still at the bottom of the food chain, and it is really difficult to imagine what beliefs they rely on to support their existence.

"Cheng Yang ......"

At the foot of the Evil Cliff, a hoarse voice echoed in a cavern, and as the hazy vision gradually cleared and faded, droplets of water slowly seeped out from top to bottom along a crack above the cave, dripping onto pale cheeks.

"Little brother, are you awake, how are you feeling?"

The man who spoke was a hunchbacked old man, his shabby clothes wrapped tightly, and he sat quietly cross-legged on the ground, revealing only half of his old face.

The person lying on the ground, although the right eye is empty, but vaguely reveals a trace of murderous aura, and his left eye is wrapped in a bandage from the messy hair to the cheek, he slightly skimmed towards the source of the sound, and the thirsty vocal cords vibrated slightly.

“... You... Who is it...... It's you... Did you save me........."

The old man did not answer immediately, but took out a few sticks of wood from his side, placed them on the ground, and then threw a piece of stone into the middle of the stick, and in a moment, the stick of wood burst into flames.

The warmth of this moment, he didn't seem to feel it for a long time, along his way, in addition to the cold wind, and the vigilance against the danger of strangers, it was his long-term tense spirit, this small move made the killing intent in his eyes disappear.

"Thank you..."

The old man chuckled lightly, grabbed a piece of meat and passed it through a sharp wooden strip, and roasted it on the fire, and in an instant, a strong smell of meat wafted out of the cave.

"Well, yes, it's the old decay who saved you, but the decay and you are also a kind of fate, that day the decay was just about to go out, you fell from this fluttering, just fell in front of my cave entrance, it scared me at the time, until I found that you were still angry, the decay hurriedly pulled you into the cave, but what puzzled me is, how could anyone come to this kind of place, and fell off the cliff and did not die, which made the decay puzzled me, this is not waiting for me to observe this rock wall for a long time, and I found that several big trees on it were broken, probably because they stopped the speed of your descent, otherwise you would not have been rescued by the decay, hahaha。 ”

"That's... Thank you, senior..."The person on the ground, seeing that the old man spoke with a kind feeling, suddenly the tense color disappeared by half, and there was a little more mildness on his face, he continued to ask: "Excuse me... Predecessor... How long have I fainted here..."

"This... Count the days, you have been lying here for about half a month. ”

"Half Moon?... The man lying on the ground wanted to get up, but as soon as he moved, there was a crisp sound of bones all over his body, but even if his whole face was hideous in pain, he didn't scream, so he gritted his teeth and sat up, and after a while, the pain gradually became numb.

The old man's eyes were slightly bright, and the corners of his mouth showed an imperceptible arc.

"Little brother, you've devoured a powerful alien, right?"

The people on the ground asked a little strangely, "Why did the seniors say that?"

The old man explained with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, although you don't die if you fall from your career, but because of various fractures of the bones, you also fall to the point of dying, and in this era of nothingness, the drugs that can be recognized are extremely rare, so the injuries on your body are only roughly and simply dealt with, because of the conditions of the decay, it will take at least a year for ordinary people to recover, and depending on your situation, it has only been fifteen days to repair the broken bones in the body, so the decay asked. ”

"Is there any water?" asked the man of the earth.

When the old man heard this, he subconsciously took out a water bag from under his clothes and handed it to him, he had not touched the water for nearly half a month, took the water bag and poured it into his stomach violently, the water at this time seemed to him to be a desolate fairy liquid that moistened the exhausted body, and couldn't help but give him a new life, until he coughed lightly, and then continued: "Whew. I don't have the time to fight the kind of people like them. ”

"Oh?"

"Don't hide it from your predecessors, have you ever heard of the contractor?"

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized: "Contractor, no wonder, your eyes turned out to be this reason... At the cost of the most precious thing, he exchanged power for the demon god species... No wonder there is no life, there is only the remaining killing and decisiveness. ”

The person on the ground was stunned for a few seconds, what he didn't expect was that the old man in front of him had such a wide range of knowledge, and the price of the contractor could be clear, even if it was the only remaining tens of millions of people, he could know it, and he could count it with both hands, not only that, but this old man could also see his remaining will in a few moments when his eyes met, although there was a deviation, but it was also very close, this old man, it seems, is not simple.

"So, your precious thing is Cheng Yang that you just said in a hazy way, right?" the old man asked inadvertently.

The people on the ground were shocked when they heard these two words, which made him grit his teeth with an unwilling layer in his words: "Please seniors don't go to the root of this name, and don't ask more." ”

The old man touched the back of his head, knowing that he seemed to have accidentally touched his sore spot, after all, that kind of pain can only be experienced by those who have lost, and it is a pain that others will not understand.

He understood it this way, so he diverted the topic to ease the awkward atmosphere and said, "...... I'm sorry...... Well... Haven't asked your little brother your last name?"

"My surname is Can, and I have one Liang. ”

"Can Liang?" The old man put the wooden strip with some black flesh in his hand in Canliang's hand, "I see that you are also hungry, hehe, take it and eat it, and also, don't call the old man the senior, how ugly, the old man is called Tianxuanzi, it's okay to call me the old man Tianxuan, hahahaha." ”

Chan Liang was actually hungry for a long time, even if his physical condition was very urgent now, but he didn't have the physical strength to do things, it was useless to be in a hurry, after all, he was not a brainless person.

Moreover, from the time when the smell of meat spread just now, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and now that the meat was on his hands, he didn't care whether it was hot or not, and he just gobbled it up.

After a while, three catties of meat slices were eaten clean by him, not only that, but even the wooden strips soaked in meat juice were licked a few times, and even Tianxuanzi couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"This is the meat of the Iron Rhinoceros, Tianxuan senior, I don't think you are a general, you can understand the contract, and you can kill the F-level alien Iron Rhinoceros, this is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

Canliang was full of food and drink, and his face was a little more ruddy, so he couldn't help but stand up and exercise his body that had not moved for several days.

Tian Xuanzi said: "It's all said, little brother, don't call me senior." ”

"The so-called saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, how can the title of the predecessors be messed up. ”

Tianxuanzi was speechless, forget it, let him call it whatever he wants.

“... All right... This guy has a very vicious eye, yes, this iron rhinoceros was killed by old decay, but the matter of this contractor was only seen by chance in a broken book a long time ago, and it is only when you meet the little brother that you are sure that there really is a contractor. ”

"So, Tianxuan's predecessor is a Helge?" Chan Liang untied the bandages wrapped around his body, and the terrifying scars were revealed on his solid muscles.

Hull, refers to the human race who devours the alien to enhance the power of self-generation, in this era, although the human race belongs to the bottom, but the survival of the fittest is the king, if you don't resist, do you still let the alien kill you? That's why there is a way to resist their survival, because the aliens themselves will have a spiritual core that nurtures their own essence, that is the source of their energy, there are many kinds of human beings to become stronger, but this is also the most dangerous, the most shortcut one, after all, each alien is extremely powerful, it is difficult to kill it to ascend to the sky, even if you kill it to get its spiritual core, it may not be able to absorb, why? Imagine it, a small balloon, filled with one liter of water will be expanded, so, poured into two liters, three liters? The result can be imagined, but there are disadvantages and advantages, and the advantages are also very intuitive, its spirit core will make your strength, body, and five senses will be qualitatively sublimated, although there is no recovery ability like Canliang, but it will not be too bad, after all, the aliens are also classified into other categories, and the higher the level, the greater the use of the spirit core, but it will also completely deviate from the track of being human, and it will also become a new race at that time, that is Hull.

"Well, the little brother thinks well, that's right, the old man is a Hull, and it is amazing to see your body recover, but you can't do it with the strength of the old man, and now I am suddenly curious, why did you fall from the top of this evil cliff?"

"Well..."Canliang hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "Actually, I was looking for something to come here, but I was surrounded by too many strangers there so I had no choice but to jump off the cliff." ”

"Oh, it's true that I've never been to the Evil Cliff, but judging by the sounds of strangers every day, the number of strangers on the edge of this cliff is unusually large, but what is it that makes you come to such a dangerous place to adventure?"

Chan Liang thought for a moment, and there was nothing to hide: "... That's... The core of the thunderbeast. ”

“......... "Tian Xuanzi's face changed greatly, showing a look of shock, he didn't seem to believe his ears, thinking that there was an auditory hallucination, holding the feeling that he had heard it wrong, he asked again with certainty.

"The spirit core of the thunder beast. ”

"Little brother, are you sure you're not joking with the old man? Do you know what you're talking about?" Tian Xuanzi was very excited, because he knew very well what kind of terrifying existence the "Thunder Beast" was.

Canliang sighed and said helplessly: "Tianxuan senior, junior doesn't have the heart to joke with you, I'm very serious." ”

"Stupid, little brother, do you know that guy is a stranger at the peak of the D stage, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a pseudo-C-order, a different beast species like the iron rhinoceros can't be compared to it at all, that's a real D stage peak of the monster species, it is a leading existence in the classification of the alien race, I know, you are a contractor, but against that guy... It's just killing yourself..."

"But if ...... I only have one month left to live... And its core is my only lifesaver? Should I do it or not?"

Canliang's rhetorical question made Tian Xuanzi silent, he didn't know that the person he rescued still had such a situation, that kind of unbelievable and peculiar statement, no wonder he asked the time before, he seemed so flustered, and from the firmness of his right eye, Tian Xuanzi couldn't see any taste of deception.

That's really going to take an adventure, if he still wants to live, or if he has other things to do, then he has to go, and he will do the same, after all, there is still a chance of success if he does it, and if he doesn't do it, it's really just waiting for death.

Tian Xuanzi thought for a moment, then stared at the latter and said, "I believe you, but why do you have to continue the life of this thunder beast spirit core, and the other spirit cores can't do it?"

"Yes, but this thunderbeast is the weakest of all the options, and he's my hope right now. Canliang said bitterly.

"So... Looks like you're going to have to go..."

"That's right... In short, now that I can't die like this, I must get his spirit core from this thunder beast. ”

Canliang's eyes instantly became shaken, he clearly remembered that moment, the despair of his heart being pinched, the red pupils, and the ugly face, that was the masterpiece of the demon god species, it was her, that slender figure stood up to protect himself, his right eye was very confused at that time, he only remembered, she knelt down and begged the miscellaneous, he didn't hear anything, until he woke up, he found that she and the miscellaneous were gone, and he became a contractor inexplicably, and there was one more message in his mind, that is, he only had a one-year lifespan, and if he wanted to live, he had to get ninety-nine spirit cores, and finally all of them were collected in the dantian, refined into a demonic heart.

At last... That's it... Extremely reluctant, but helpless eternal... No, but how is this possible, it's just that there is still a long way to go before that terrifying demon species, but to say that it is impossible to give up now, he will never fall down at this first step.

Every day of the year, the picture that appears in his dreams all the time, is that day, he will never forget, the king of the demon god species... Three wretched, wait for me, the creature you once looked down on will one day kill you all!

Tian Xuanzi was frightened by this scene, originally there was an extremely strong murderous aura flashing in his empty eyes, although it was only for a moment, but he knew that it was "hate", just like he was powerless at the beginning, "hating" why he was so incompetent, this was not because of waste materials, but how "desperate" he could be even if he was strong......

"Then what are you going to do? Do you know the location of the thunder beast?" The quiet atmosphere was broken by Tian Xuanzi's soft voice.

"I don't know... Otherwise, I would have found it a long time ago, the only thing I can know is that the thunder beast is in the area of this evil cliff, and where he appears, the thunder and lightning attribute aura will cover a radius of one kilometer, so it is still very fast to find it, however, the predecessors should have seen this thunder beast, otherwise they would not have been so excited just now, if my guess is correct, the predecessors may know the location of this thunder beast. ”

Chan Liang carefully recalled the words of Tianxuanzi just now, this is what she taught him, no matter who it is, there will always be some information in the words, when a sufficient number of messages are combined, it is something useful to himself.

"Slippery boy, that's right, when I went out to look for herbs for you a few days ago, in the forest to the east, I sensed an extremely terrifying thunder attribute aura, if it was not wrong, it should be over there, but I was afraid that it would be discovered and quickly withdrew...... ...... Wait a minute... Where are you going..."

While speaking, Canliang had already turned around and walked out, and Tianxuanzi hurriedly stopped him,

"What are you doing here?

Canliang's heart was already impatient, not to mention that he already knew the location, he had been looking for traces of the thunder beast everywhere when he was on the evil cliff, but he was accidentally surrounded by the powerful aliens there, so he had no choice but to jump off the cliff, so that he wasted so much time, at least not by the aliens, it was okay, but now that he knew the news of the thunder beast, he told him how to hold it.

"What do you say, senior? Sit back and wait? Wait for him to leave again? I don't have any time to waste now, if you stop me again, senior, even if you treat me as a life-saving grace, then don't blame me for being rude!" After Chan Liang finished speaking, a coldness arose in his mind, and then he realized that he was a little too emotional, and his head couldn't help but lower, "I'm sorry senior... But please get out of the way, this thunder beast ......"

"Okay!!" Tianxuanzi shook his head and scolded, "Just you, you who can't be sure of the enemy's strength, can you kill it?"

“......... If it's one-on-one, I definitely won't be afraid of him. ”

"Then how sure are you about the ordinary D-stage peak alien?"

"Less than fifty..."

Fifty percent of that is also possible to do it with everything, although he has encountered such a one on the cliff, and it took a short time to make him feel a little bottom.

Tian Xuanzi thought for a while, pulled Chanliang back to the cave, and then took a strange thing leaning against the wall in the depths of the cave and handed it to Canliang.

"And what about adding this?"

Canliang looked at it carefully, it was a big knife, it was about two meters long, one foot wide, its cutting surface was extremely smooth, he also tried to take a hair and throw it on, just touched it and broke into two sections, it can be seen that this sharpness, the handle of the knife is wrapped in miscellaneous skin, and it feels very good to pick it up, but it feels a little heavy.

"Is this...?"

"At the beginning of Phase D, the Iron Tooth Tiger's fangs are randomly made of knives, you can call it the Iron Tooth Knife. ”

Canliang's heart suddenly became restless, with this, he had at least a win rate of more than fifty percent.

"Don't stare at the knife, hold it tight. As he spoke, Tianxuanzi picked up a large package on the ground and carried it on his shoulder.

"Senior, you are..."

"You alone don't know the road conditions, and when the time comes, you will die in this forest before you meet the thunder beast, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, so I'll go with you, my old bones may be able to contribute to our weak race, and let my guilt be lightened a little." ”

"This is my private matter, how can I let you accompany me on an adventure?"

Tian Xuanzi said solemnly: "Do you think you can really kill the Thunder Beast alone? It is much more terrifying than you imagined, ordinary strangers of the same class as him are avoided, even if you have an iron tooth knife in your hand, it is difficult to defeat it, and I have fought with this Thunder Beast once, and my experience is higher than yours." ”

"This..."Canliang was speechless for a moment.

"That's it, you can rest assured, the old decay can at least fight against it, as long as there is no problem, plus your words still have a high chance of killing it, even if it doesn't work, with me you can also have a chance to retreat, otherwise if you fail, won't you die, didn't you say that you can't die now?" Tianxuanzi patted Canliang's arm.

There is a trace of warmth in Canliang's heart, obviously he didn't know him, but he saved him, obviously he didn't know him, but he could accompany him on an adventure because of his reasons that were uncertain to outsiders, maybe sometimes, trust and understanding are really touching.

"Indeed, I can't die, and I can't be defeated, so I am bent on going my own way, seniors, this favor will definitely be remembered by the younger generations. ”

Tian Xuanzi just laughed, did not answer, took out a coat that could wrap the whole body from the package, threw it to Chan Liang, and asked him to put it on.

When everything was ready, the two of them quickly left the cave and sped towards the forest to the east.
