Chapter 438 Ji Xiong (End of the Demon Seed Chapter)

"Haha, I knew there must be someone who could escape from here, one big and one small, plus the previous ones, there are exactly 5 people. I'm willing to accept the loss, give me the money!"

At night, the moonlight gradually darkened.

A rough male voice spread rapidly outside the fog, and his loud laughter even set off invisible transparent ripples in the air, and made the torches not far away sway constantly.

Looking down from the top, I saw two strong soldiers wearing red armor standing beside the river, and at their feet were two wet and embarrassed figures, one big and one small.

Let's not talk about the soldiers for now, and the big and one small figures are Yunniang and Ji An, the mother and son who broke into the thick fog not long ago.

An hour ago, Ji Jun successfully sent the mother and son into the fog in an extremely heroic way, but this does not mean that they are completely out of danger. Only when they walk out of the thick fog that has blocked Qingshi Town for more than a month can they be considered safe in the true sense.

So even if the sorrow and pain in her heart kept surging, Yunniang still didn't dare to delay for a moment. After simply comforting Ji An, the two continued on this stumbling journey of survival.

Compared with the hoarse roars that could be heard everywhere in the town, the fog was a completely different quiet scene. The thick liquid-like fog seemed to not only block the vision, but also swallow up the sound.

In a trance, the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed that only the mother and son were left in the whole world. Every step forward, she could even clearly hear her footsteps mixed with the rapid heartbeat hitting her ears.

Unable to tell the direction or judge the position, in this creepy and strange silence, Yunniang could only bite the bullet and rush straight ahead, even though she didn't know whether the route she was taking was straight.

The passage of time was meaningless in the fog. I don't know how long it had passed. Perhaps it was because of Ji Jun's blessing in the dark, or perhaps the full moon really had some special suppression on the fog that could distort the five senses.

In short, before they were about to be exhausted, the mother and son actually found the only way out in the fog: a rolling river that ran through the entire fog.

The river had no beginning and no end, rushing forward. Because of the fog, Yun Niang couldn't even see the whole picture of the long river, but she knew that as long as they kept moving forward in the direction of the river, they would definitely be able to escape.

So the legs that should have been exhausted took big steps again. Unlike the long journey they imagined, under the guidance of the river, they only walked for less than ten minutes, and there was an open space in front of them.

As far as the eye could see, the originally thick fog had dissipated, and what they saw was a large flat field and the extremely eye-catching clusters of fire in the distance.

"Mom, we seem to have escaped!"

The fire in the distance reflected a little bit of brilliance in Ji An's eyes. He looked up at his mother beside him, but before he could get a response, he heard two subtle sounds of breaking through the air approaching rapidly.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

With two muffled sounds that were almost the same, two small stones shot out from the darkness almost hit Yun Niang and Ji An's jaws at the same time.

The next moment, two splashes of different sizes splashed at the edge of the river. Just after leaving the fog for less than a few seconds, the mother and son fell into danger again.

"Damn, it's been more than a month, and someone can still come out of the yin nourishing land. Unlucky!"

"Haha, this is luck. The desire to survive of those civilians will only be more intense than you think. Don't talk too much. I'm willing to accept the loss and pay quickly."

On the left side of the river, two red figures slowly approached from the darkness not far away, talking and laughing.

Huang Sheng casually shattered several hard stones in his palm, and first scattered the fine stone powder left between his fingers with a gloomy face, and then took out a piece of broken gold from his arms and threw it directly to Wei Hongcai beside him.

On the other side, compared to Huang Sheng's unhappiness, Wei Hongcai, as the winner, was obviously in a good mood. He took the broken gold with a smile and put it into his purse. Only then did he have time to look down at the two lucky escapees at his feet.

"Tsk, a woman and a child, this combination can actually last so long in the Yin-nourishing Land, and even get out of the maze by chance, they are lucky!"

Glancing at his teammates who were amazed, Huang Sheng, who was still angry, pulled the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically:

"Hehe, they are just untouchables without the qualifications to worship fire. No matter how lucky they are, they are just weeds that can be killed anywhere."

The cold tone carried a touch of condescending indifference. After hearing this, Wei Hongcai frowned slightly, but did not say much. Instead, he leaned over and raised his hand to grab Ji An, who had already fallen into a coma beside the river.

"Okay, calm down. The important thing is to deal with these two escapees. According to Lord Yuan's request, if you find an escapee who has not turned into a Yin, you must immediately break his legs and throw him back to Qingshi Town."

"And in seven days at most, this Yin-nourishing land should be ready for harvest. This child has been able to hold on for so long without showing any signs of turning into a Yin. His soul potential should be top-notch in the entire Qingshi Town. By then, this will be the food for you and me to go further, so... don't waste it."

After hearing the three words "Lord Yuan", Huang Sheng's face changed. Then he didn't say anything more, but also leaned over and raised his hand to grab Yun Niang on the other side.

"The child can be thrown back, so what about this woman?"

"It doesn't matter. The Yin Qi in her body is already corroding her heart meridians. She will turn into a living zombie in three days at most. A living zombie of this caliber is worthless, so you can deal with her as you please. But I think she looks pretty good. If you are interested, you can keep her. If you find it troublesome, just burn her directly."

"I don't have that kind of fetish, so just burn her directly!"

After a while, the sizzling sound of flames licking flesh and blood and several bone-breaking sounds were heard on the side of the river. Then a red gas ball suddenly broke through the mist and flew straight to the depths of the mist on the opposite side.

A few minutes later, the thrown gas ball penetrated the barrier directly until it reached the edge of the town and fell.

Amid the roar, the smoke and dust from the explosion rose up along with the spreading air waves. When the smoke and dust dissipated, a small pit covered with cracks appeared on the originally flat landform.

In the center of the pit was Ji An, who had been "sent back to the city". Time passed by, but the twisted figure with blood oozing from the mouth and nose in the pit showed no signs of waking up.

With the protection of the red gas mass, the strong impact of the fall just now did not cause him to turn directly into a bloody meat paste, but even so, he was seriously injured and would probably only end up waiting for death.

After all, the request of Mr. Yuan was that these precious resources should not die meaninglessly outside the maze.

……………

Deep in the soul.

Countless storms and waves surged in the gray sea of ​​consciousness, and at the same time, Ji An's extremely suppressed shrill cry spread out.

Since he was suddenly knocked unconscious not long ago, his consciousness came to this inexplicable space. Although he could not control his body here, his perception of the outside world was not affected at all.

So he heard the entire conversation between the two people just now word for word, and also smelled the burnt smell produced by his mother being burned by the fire.

Yin nourishing land...harvest...food...these terms are not difficult for him to understand. Combined with the various tragic experiences in the past two months, the destruction of his home, the death of tens of thousands of people, the estrangement of his closest relatives, and the disappearance of his parents...

All these experiences made him understand that all of this was not an unprovoked natural disaster, but a long-planned cruel harvest.

"Why is this happening!"

"Why do we have to eat each other!!"

"Why can only we be the food!!!"

The shrill cries raged wildly in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the sound waves became sharper and sharper. At the same time, the childishness left in the cries began to dissipate rapidly, replaced by endless resentment and hatred.

"Because you are too weak!"

Suddenly, a cold voice spread faintly behind Ji An. Although the volume was not loud, it caused the shrill cries to stop abruptly.

"Who?!"

Ji An, who was floating on the sea of ​​consciousness, suddenly turned around and looked around. An extremely familiar figure suddenly came into his sight. It was himself with dark eyes.

When their eyes met, Ji An took a step back slightly, and the strange figure opposite him curled his lips slightly and whispered:

"Me?"

"I am another you, and I came here to make you stronger."

"Since your name is An, then I will call you Xiong."

…………

On the surging sea of ​​consciousness, two figures with the same appearance stood opposite each other. One had black and white eyes, but his eyes were full of resentment and hatred, and the other had dark eyes, but people could not see any emotion.

After staring at each other for a long time, Ji An suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, and a huge white bone banner appeared faintly behind Ji Xiong.
