Chapter 411
Mountain roads were muddy, steep, and waved crookedly all the way to the central plain of China.
Hulu Kouzi was the last exit from the great mountain range. It was originally just a small village. However, in order to comply with the China Western Development plan in the age of light, it had been merged with the other two villages nearby into a town by some local government officials. They also gave the new town a name, Xi Jin town, which meant the advancement of the west.
But to the people who had already lived there for a very long time, they still often called the place Hulu Kouzi rather than Xi Jin town, despite the address on their ID documents showing otherwise.
At the beginning of the dark age, Hulu Kouzi was in great chaos like many other places. It was in such great chaos that according to the old people who were still alive at that time, it was far more chaotic than even during wartime.
Later on, when the insects appeared, many people were killed by the insects in the town. Some wise elders used their knowledge that they had learned during wartime to lead the people into the great mountain range. Fortunately, the insects did not seem to want to stay in the town for very long. The swarm just simply swept the village and left the town abandoned.
Having realized that the town was empty again, those who had escaped into the mountain range, but could not withstand living in the mountains, slowly moved back the town again.
However, although the insects did not come to the town anymore, people were still dying because of all kinds of diseases. What was even worse was that they slowly started to run out of food. As life was getting more and more difficult, many terrible things, such as cannibalism, began to appear in the town.
Things were getting worse and worse until finally, the spore forest appeared, then everything began to change. Survivors began to discover edible plants, and they started to use their farming skills to transfer the edible plants and plant them in their town.
“Oh my god, the monster is coming.” Bai Ertiao suddenly shouted and ran back into his house.
“What monster, that is a person wearing a combat armor. That is the type of equipment only used by a powerful energy manipulation master! That man is probably a survivor.” Qiao Zhenxing knitted his brows and said.
“Ask his intention first, don’t let the man enter straight away. But don’t offend the man either. You don’t know what that person can do!” Qiao Weimin said.
The person who had walked to the town from the demolished Shu Du City was Chu Yunsheng.
In order to protect Chu Yunsheng, Dark lost its wings and it was sent back to the monster seal talisman.
However, in order to maximize his power, he had used his life force to recover Dark, and then asked Dark to use its ability to merge with him.
He was extremely hungry. Originally he had some food. However, he probably thought that he owed Gen Zi a lot, as he had given all the food he had to Gen Zi’s girl. When he realized that he also needed to eat, he had already left the city.
He didn’t plan to go back to the city to look for food. He just thought that he might be able to catch something on the way. However, he didn’t expect that he couldn’t find anything in the mountain.
Originally, based on the description of the book, when he reached Yuan Tian stage three, his body would be transformed from ‘Rong Yuan body’ to ‘Chun Yuan body’. Although during the transformation, his body was instead transformed into the Inverse ‘Chun Yuan body’, he thought that the principle, however, should still be the same. He believed that the cells he now had inside his body would not easily die just because of hunger.
However, the thing seemed to be far more complicated than he originally thought. After his life force was sucked away by Dark several times, he faintly felt that the hunger was not only caused by his body, but by a certain demand from his life force. His body was just some kind of intermediary.
In terms of what kind of relation there was between food and life force, he didn’t really know.
All he knew at the moment was that he felt very hungry, he urgently needed something to eat, and then find a way to separate himself from Dark.
