Chapter 12

The third prison, the plain.

The sun hangs half dead in the sky. There were no clouds at all. Although the world's oceans are still there, they have shrunk in large areas. Half of the original water body has been injected into the Yuan clan's spiritual vein project to serve as the "blood" of the earth, while the other half has gradually evaporated.

Only in the deep valleys of the Yuan people can there be sufficient water and fertile land.

Due to the mass extinction of species, there are no longer plant roots on the earth to hold the soil in place. dusty.

On the surface where there is no difference in thermal properties between land and sea, the power of planetary autobiography drives winds in almost the same direction. Although the wind is not strong, it does not stop all year round.

Coupled with the decrease in the strength of objects associated with the low-spirited environment, the surface of this planet has been smoothed by the wind in millions of years. Most of the solids on the earth's surface form fine particles that are finer than sand and thicker than dust.

Like some burnt ashes.

On this ashes ground, two people walked slowly. One of them was carrying a humanoid object on his back... no, it was a, no, half a person.

To be precise, a man who lost both legs and an arm.

Feng Yecai took two more steps and fell to the ground. The dust flew up and was blown away by the wind in an instant.

"Hey, take a rest. It's almost here. Just wait for the star shuttle."

Xue Bufan stopped but did not sit down: "Wait, don't sit down, you will be buried."

"Just bury it."

"What if Xingsuo can't see us? And it won't be good for Brother Ai's wound."

"Hey, look at it." Feng Yecai grabbed a handful of dust, let it fall down the gaps between his fingers, and said, "Just this dust, a standard sterile substance - the aura environment here is really too bad. It’s impossible to survive relying on acid ions to obtain energy, and it’s too dry here, and there are no conditions for photosynthesis. Besides, it’s covered by dust, which is a good way to escape the pursuit of those beasts.”

A month ago, Xue Bufan and Feng Yecai realized that there was no room for them to carry out activities in the valley where the Yuan people lived.

The bloodline of the last Yuan King, as well as the Yuan clan with profound inheritance in their original bloodline, rule everything there. They do not have a strong desire to rule, nor do they demand control over anything. But after the knowledge inherited in the blood was monopolized, the Yuan clan was forged into a whole in another form.

The "ignorance" among what Arul calls "wisdom, ignorance and blood".

No one wants to come into contact with the Immortal Alliance.

There are also strong people who try to contact the top leaders of the Yuan clan and spread the ideas of the human race.

But it is a pity that the pride of being a descendant of the Heavenly Family has made the Yuan Clan not think highly of the human race's ideas.

Preaching is still going on, and it may or may not have an impact.

At this time, Feng Yecai found out that there were a very small number of rebels outside the Yuan clan society.

Occasionally, they broke through the seal in their bloodline and awakened some abilities.

However, the total amount of spiritual power in the artificial spiritual vein system of the last King Yuan was limited. The overall strength of the Yuan clan must also be limited. The total number of high-level monks cannot be large. Unless enough low-level monks are killed, or a high-level monk is overthrown in advance.

The vast majority of awakened people do not have this level. However, they are full of hostility towards those in power.

So, all that awaits them is exile.

Xue Bufan felt that maybe this group of guys who were trying to break through the Yuan clan system would communicate with them - even if they had the mentality of using the "dragon slaves", they had to accept the power of the human race, right?

So, they took the other four people and left here.

However, things really went beyond their expectations.

Since the aura environment on the plains is far worse than in the man-made spiritual valleys, the cannibalism among these exiles is far more serious than that of the Yuan clan underground.

If the Yuan clan in the deep valley devours their fellow clansmen after their lifespan is over in order not to waste them, then these exiles have to constantly hunt and kill their fellow clansmen in order to survive.

Due to the extreme lack of spiritual power, the human race has almost forgotten how to use artificial spiritual stones - stones that are crystallized and coupled with a small amount of non-attributed spiritual energy, and have become treasures in the eyes of the exiles.

At the beginning, with their spiritual knowledge, they exchanged a lot of information.

But later, there was endless hunting against them.

The modern cultivators of the human race have the opportunity to compete with the remnants of the Heavenly Dependents of the same level. A very small number of them can even defeat them. However, the vast majority of the modern cultivators of the human race cannot do this. Although the vast majority of the exiles are only in the elixir-forming stage and pose little threat, when Nascent Soul joins the battle group and has the cooperation of multiple elixirs, the threat of these hunters immediately doubles.

In addition, at this stage, the human race still holds a "protective" attitude towards the Yuan clan, and is not allowed to kill the Yuan clan unless necessary. Therefore, these people were helpless.

As the supplies were gradually lost, the other three people concentrated all the supplies on these three people, and then turned around and headed for the deep valley.

Although the Yuan clan in the deep valley does not accept the human race, due to the existence of Yang De Yunli, at least there will be no life threat.

They were really scared.

Not to mention what happened to those three people, the three here were once again ambushed.

The third person's legs and arms were taken away as blood food, and his soul was also damaged.

Xue Bufan and Feng Yecai had no choice but to escape. Since the third person was seriously injured, they applied for a star shuttle to pick up the poor guy and wait for his severed limb to regenerate.

"Really, I almost died." Feng Yecai sighed.

"This is the first time I discovered that you are so afraid of death." Xue Bufan said: "I thought you were not afraid of anything."

"How can I not be afraid? My parents have children, my grandparents have children, and my great-grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents all have children."

"Is not this nonsensical?"

"If I had no children, wouldn't the bloodline that had been passed down to me for billions of years be gone soon? Along with the billions of years of history of my ancestors, it would have been wiped out."

"Interesting." Xue Bufan smiled: "That's true. In the eyes of some people, the world is abstract, while in the eyes of others, the world is concrete; the world of some people is a knot of living things. The narrative poem explains that some people’s world is like random collision of particles. In your eyes, the world becomes history written in blood... Haha.”

"Hello? Are you afraid of death?" Feng Yecai smiled.

"Afraid, extremely afraid." Xue Bufan boldly admitted: "Because I must live forever."

Feng Yecai changed direction and kept his back-to-back posture with Xue Bufan, maintaining the utmost vigilance: "Everyone wants to live forever. I want to live forever too."

"I must live forever. For me, there is no such thing as 'hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening.' If I don't live forever, I can't attain the Tao."

Feng Yecai became interested: "What do you mean?"

Xue Bufan hesitated for a moment: "Well, academics...oh, actually it's quite boring."

"Let's talk about it, otherwise we'll be suffocated to death just waiting for the star shuttle."

Xue Bufan pondered, and then sighed: "That's okay. But don't say anything nonsense."

"We can be considered friends through life and death." Feng Yecai said.

"Time... in my eyes, time is like a deep well." Xue Bufan pondered for a moment, and then said: "The deeper the well, the older the place. The water taken out from the depth is sweeter. For me In other words, everything in the world is just a small fruit of a giant tree... My eyes have never left the deep well - okay, that's a bit exaggerated. But that's what I thought when I was in the fairy academy. Ancient demon fossils..."

"Interesting." Feng Yecai nodded: "If I think life is history in the blood, then in your eyes, time is a ladder perpendicular to the world."

"Yes." Xue Bufan said: "Occasionally one day, I suddenly think of looking up..."

"The future? Why?"

Xue Bufan paused for a long time: "Because, I met a...a girl."

"Oh, this kind of thing." Feng Yecai deliberately lengthened his voice: "Congratulations, congratulations. We are not monks of Wanfamen, this kind of thing..."

"She's married to someone else now."

There was a long silence.

"Well, this happens occasionally, brother, you don't have to worry about it..."

"I can see roughly, that's why I can speak out." Xue Bufan shook his head: "And her husband is not bad...forget it. Let's just talk about back then, back then...For a moment, I thought - I must go to the future to see it.”

"ah?"

"For people in the future, I will be an ancient creature, an existence before evolution, and evidence of evolution. Perhaps a small part of me will live independently and continue to change - many years later, millions of years later , Tens of millions of years later, 'it' will grow and form... something that I can't describe."

Xue Bufan whispered: "At that time, I really wanted to tell my story to 'it' - to 'descendants'. Just like a fossil will tell its own story to me, but I am a living fossil. It’s just more specific, more exciting, and better.”

"I must live forever."

There was another moment of silence.

Feng Yecai's tone was hesitant: "Let's put it another way... You seem to mean - you want to have a child? This is just a simple impulse..."

A faint murderous intention cut off Feng Yecai's words.

Xue Bufan stood up slowly: "You have never seen that girl. She has a really good figure and is very cute. It is normal to think more about it after having an impulse - besides, do you know? Even the 'maternal nature' 'But it's all controlled by blood."

"Well, I seem to have heard of this topic somewhere." Feng Yecai also stood up.

"Go back and elaborate on what the girl I told you just now said." Xue Bufan changed the concept slightly: "We have to solve the problem at hand first."

Both of them clenched the Zhengtian Order in their hands. The artificial sky is already above your head. If necessary, you can always call on the sky sword to strike.

Although in principle it is not allowed to make a fatal move, but... that is only in principle after all, when it is not necessary. .

When necessary, many Immortal Alliance monks are free to act.
