The night gradually deepened, in the endless wasteland.
The dry land stretched endlessly, and the rocks exposed on the surface were gray and lifeless. The smell of filth was floating everywhere in the wilderness - since the catastrophe, the world has changed, and all people born in this era have long been accustomed to this heavily polluted environment. Compared with this, it is more important to find food that can fill the stomach and is not heavily polluted.
After a day of trekking, a team of nearly 100 people finally stopped their pace and prepared to set up camp for rest.
Not far behind this group of people, wisps of green ghost fire floated in the air. Only by looking closely can you find that these are actually countless pairs of green eyes shining in the night. I don’t know when, a group of black shadows have quietly followed this team, staring at them.
That was the wind wolf pack in the wilderness. They often moved in groups, coming and going like the wind, with amazing speed. Any ordinary person who was targeted would have his throat bitten off in one encounter, and there was no possibility of survival. Even a lone low-level power holder had to be careful and vigilant.
The team stopped in the wilderness. The bonfire had just been lit, and the strange breath in the air became more and more intense. The countless green eyes were shining brighter, as if they were going to pounce and tear everyone into pieces in the next second. Countless beasts hidden in the wilderness roared, and vines broke out from the ground under the surface and soared up, covering everyone like a spirit snake or a long whip, with countless spikes on the surface flashing cold light.
The next second, these mutant vines retreated rapidly in the direction they came from, as if they were frightened, and the roars of the beasts that came one after another also stopped abruptly.
I saw a bright light rising above the bonfire that had just been lit, and it spread out in circles. All the vines that rushed over were like encountering flames, and they were ignited in the blink of an eye and turned into ashes. Some beasts that were unable to dodge were also turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Then, earth walls rose up all around, and various strange plants broke out of the ground, turning into wooden houses one after another, which were scattered in an orderly manner.
Finally, the spreading light was like a transparent invisible barrier that wrapped around the camp for 500 meters, isolating the wind wolves that followed behind and watched from behind. Only the ghost-like green eyes were still flashing around, unwilling to give up these prey easily.
Suddenly, there was a burst of discussion in the camp.
"Brother Xiao's strength has improved again, amazing! He is worthy of being one of the rarest power holders..."
"Beasts are beasts! They don't know how to judge the situation at all! If the captain and others hadn't left in advance, there would be no need for a second trick to kill these beasts!"
The bright bonfire jumped in the night, and the red flames illuminated the happy faces around.
——The skin color is pale and strange, the eyes are red and covered with a lot of bloodshot, and when they grin, they reveal their teeth with faint sharp features. From a distance, they look like a group of wild beasts wrapped in human clothes.
Around these people are a group of "refugees" with haggard faces and almost skin and bones, both men and women, young and old. Dozens of people are hiding in fear, with numb and cowardly expressions. They almost subconsciously stay away from the people in the middle, and even use their hands and feet to crawl back, gradually approaching the edge of the transparent barrier.
These people look at the wolves around them with disdain, and their expressions are arrogant.
Someone raised his hand and gently waved at the group of "refugees" lying on the ground outside, and several invisible silk threads were tightly wrapped around several of them, pulling them towards the campfire. The surrounding "refugees" all changed their faces at the first time, and rolled and crawled away.
The people tied up by the silk thread struggled and screamed, almost crying with snot and tears: "Have mercy, don't eat me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
The group of people around the campfire turned a blind eye and calmly admired their struggling performance. Their extremely indifferent eyes seemed to weigh the fatness of pork in the vegetable market. They didn't forget to pick and choose and comment.
"I don't want this one. The meat is too old and too dry, and the bones are still irritating."
"Why are they all so thin? How much meat can they have on their bodies?"
"There is no way. After all, they are all wild men caught in the past few days. They can't compare with the fat pigs raised in the city. Just eat it. You can go back to the city in two days..."
"Sizzle..."
The flames burned fiercely, and the sound of some kind of oil pressing kept ringing in everyone's ears, reminding people of the fat rolling in the oil pan. The "refugees" could no longer hide the fear on their faces. They were about to run out of the camp, but they were directly pressed firmly in place by the surrounding light curtains.
A group of cannibals didn't care about their actions. Instead, they swallowed their saliva and talked in twos and threes.
"I heard that the leader left to deal with that rubbish named Chu?"
"That's right. That guy is a good guy with power but nothing else. If he hadn't exposed the leader's cannibalism and driven us out of Suzaku City, would we have ended up in the wilderness and lost so many brothers?"
Someone grinned and smiled grimly.
"Oh, without us powerful people, can those "pigs" in Suzaku City live in peace? What's wrong with letting them make a little contribution? The guy named Chu doesn't know what's good for him, he should be taught a lesson!"
After being driven out of Suzaku City, they wandered in the wilderness for several years, with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat. It was simply not a life for human beings! Although the leader had great magical powers and took them to Chongguang City not long ago, he was so angry when he thought of the suffering he had suffered before.
This heartfelt remark immediately resonated with everyone. Thinking of the experience of the past few years, everyone almost gritted their teeth.
"He was lucky to escape last time, but this guy didn't hide and live a miserable life, and dared to provoke - fortunately the leader was smart and expected that the surname Chu would come to take revenge, and he was caught red-handed!" Someone else sneered, "I vaguely heard that the leader and his men wanted to use the surname Chu as bait. I guess he is dead now without any bones left, right?"
The night fell. In the wilderness, the eyes of the wolves were dim like ghost fire. But this group of cannibals drooling at their own kind looked more like wild beasts than wolves.
Chongguang City.
In a remote corner of the city, the beggars who used to gather here disappeared for some reason. In an empty house in the deepest part, the leader mentioned by the cannibals, a man nicknamed "Taotie", walked in carefully.
He was tall and burly, and looked very ferocious. At this time, he was so light-footed and submissive, which was not at all inconsistent, but even more respectful.
The room was dark, and a figure stood quietly in the corner with his back to him. It seemed that something strange was brewing in the darkness around him, making the shadow under the figure look very strange.
"Teacher." As soon as Taotie walked into the door, he bowed his head respectfully, "I have done everything you asked."
"I said, call me the high priest."
The old voice sounded faintly, hoarse, strange, and the strange syllables did not sound like the sound that human organs could make, but rather like the screams of countless monsters overlapping. His tone was fanatical.
"The identity entanglement in the world has nothing to do with me. I am just an insignificant believer at the feet of the great god, and my only mission is to let the incarnation of God return to its place completely."
"Yes, high priest. I will never do it again."
Taotie's hair stood on end, and he lowered his head quickly. In front of this mysterious man, he was like a ferocious dragon that suddenly turned into a docile little white rabbit.
If his men saw this, they would probably find it incredible. A wicked man like him who claimed to be a god above all others and slaughtered ordinary people as pigs at will, could actually be so respectful to a person?
On the one hand, the other party's weirdness was awe-inspiring, and on the other hand, even the most vicious thugs always had a soft spot in their hearts. And the mysterious man in front of him was one of the few people who made Taotie pay true love.
——It was the other party who picked him up from the wilderness, rescued him from the mouth of a wild beast, and cultivated him step by step. Even if the mysterious man denied the master-disciple relationship, Taotie always regarded him as a teacher.
Seeing the high priest's attitude soften, he asked curiously, "High priest, is there anything special about Chu Lin? Why did you make me go to great lengths to chase him to that wild forest, and now catch him back as a sacrifice?"
"This is the revelation given to me by fate--"
"He is the one favored by fate..." Perhaps because he was in a good mood, or more likely to prevent Taotie from making a mistake and thus missing the mission, the mysterious man explained, "Fate tells me that he is the only person in the world who may have a bond with that person."
When he said "that person", his tone unconsciously became fanatical and respectful, and the aura around him became more and more weird.
...So he was using Chu Lin to lead out another person?
Seeing that the high priest had fallen into the atmosphere of a fanatic again, Taotie, who had many years of experience in getting along with him, did not dare to disturb him again. He thought he understood the truth and walked out respectfully.
To be honest, although there are extraordinary beings like the Powerful Ones who can manipulate the heaven and earth in this era, and there are so-called legends of immortals and gods in ancient times, Taotie does not believe in the existence of so-called gods. If there are really gods in this world, how can this world be so dilapidated?
In his opinion, the high priest who talks about gods is just an existence with different interests and hobbies from ordinary people. Even if he does not understand, he should still respect him.
Just like him, he just likes to eat some pork, but many people not only do not understand, but also want to fight and kill him for his little hobby, and do not know how to respect people at all! They don’t even understand the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences!
He will not be as rude as those people. Therefore, he never denied the high priest’s talkative statements, and always showed that he agreed with them. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the high priest looked at him differently?
The door was closed again, and the high priest who had been standing in the corner with his back to Taotie finally turned around.
The last ray of sunlight quietly passed through him through the crack in the door, reflecting a dark gray robe and a pale and terrifying face - cold, dead, evil, and lifeless. He looked more like a corpse than a living person.
If Chu Si was here, he would be surprised to find that although the temperament was very different, this corpse-like face was exactly the same as the gray-robed man who led the "Salvation Plan" in his fragmentary memory of his infancy.
Above the sky, a thunder suddenly sounded.
"It's just a futile struggle. This world is destined to be destroyed..." The gray-robed man raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the roof and look at the sky. A stiff smile appeared on his corpse-like face, "I also want to thank you for creating the one who favors fate..."
"... A heartless and desireless person, what does the birth and death of the world have to do with him?" Every syllable he uttered from his throat was extremely weird, "With ties, with care, with gains and losses... there is the possibility of destroying everything."
"Gulu gurulu gurulu gurulu..."
Strange bubbles suddenly appeared in the shadow under the gray robe man's feet, and a strange altar slowly rose up. He laughed "ho ho ho ho", and his body trembled like a puppet with the strange laughter.
His expression was paranoid and fanatical, and he chanted slowly in a pious and terrifying manner. An increasingly terrifying ominous aura rose from the altar, enveloping him, as if opening the door to the abyss.
"...
You are the incarnation of disaster that governs the unknown origin.
You are the Lord of Eternal Silence ordained by destiny.
You are the Lord of Annihilation that carries the destruction of all realms.
You are the final calamity of the return of all things to the abyss..."
"...
When destiny arrives, you will return to the throne of God."
