Ah Ying went back and forth several times, and finally succeeded in feeding Xu Cheng and moistening his burning throat.
Xu Cheng couldn't even move his fingers and could only watch Ah Ying busying around. After she sat down next to the fire again, he said, "It seems that I am very lucky and survived successfully."
Previously, Ah Ying said that Xu Cheng had a 99% chance of dying if she used her last resort, but she didn't expect that she would survive in the end.
"You're really lucky."
Ah Ying took the withered grass in his hand and threw it into the burning fire in front of him. Then he glanced at Xu Cheng and said honestly: "However, a lot of your life has been sucked away, and I'm afraid you won't live long."
In Aying's field of vision, Xu Cheng was already covered with white hair, as if he was aging prematurely, and his whole person was filled with a strong aura of death.
"It doesn't matter, it's okay to live a few less years."
Xu Cheng said nonchalantly that when he gets his life power back, no matter how much life he lacks, he can make up for it.
"Dog management, how much life do I have left now."
Although he didn't care, Xu Cheng was still prepared to take a look, just in case it was over in a few days.
[Remaining life: 30 years]
Xu Cheng almost spit out the water he just drank. He only had thirty years left in his 180,000-year lifespan.
At the same time, he was also a little lucky. When he fought Lucid before, every second burned more than a thousand years of life. If he was slower by a few tenths of a second in the end, he would have to die with the opponent.
He began to try to use his chaotic energy, but found that his body was like a dry pond, unable to squeeze out any water at all.
Even if I switch ability cards and killer cards, I still have no power.
At this time, he was even much weaker than ordinary people.
"What should we do next? Do you know how to leave this grassland?"
"have no idea?"
"What did you say?"
Xu Cheng looked at Ah Ying in surprise: "You don't know?"
He thought that Aying must know this place very well if he dared to bring him in.
Ah Ying explained in a calm tone: "There was no road in the Green Sea, or the geographical environment here has been changing all the time. Only those who are very lucky can go out, and those who are unlucky will die. I I brought you in because I had no choice but to avoid the pursuit and detection of the divine army."
Xu Cheng fell silent. It turned out that Aying brought him into this place because he was desperate.
Seeing Xu Cheng's aching look, Ah Ying said, "Don't worry, this might be a good thing."
Xu Cheng didn't expect Aying to comfort people: "What's the good thing?"
"When Lucid self-destructed, a signal was buried in your body. The Golden Supreme King and the Knights of God can know your specific location based on the signal."
Xu Cheng's face suddenly turned green. What kind of bullshit is this?
But he reacted immediately and asked in surprise: "Could it be that in this green sea... the signal doesn't work?"
Aying nodded: "Yes, this place will interfere with the signal in your body, so that no one outside can receive it. We are safe here."
So it seems that Ah Ying's rash entry into the Green Sea was not out of desperation, but after careful consideration.
"Can this signal be removed?"
"Just wait until you regain your strength, but your injury is very serious. I don't know how long it will take."
It seems that both of them have to stay in this green sea for a long time.
Xu Cheng looked at Ah Ying's veiled face and suddenly asked: "Is our previous bet still valid?"
The two had made a bet before, and Xu Cheng believed that Cronus would soon be defeated by the Golden Supreme King.
According to Ah Ying's estimation, Cronus could persist for at least a few years, but in the end he lost after only persisting for seven days. This bet was obviously Xu Cheng's victory.
Ah Ying didn't mean to lie, and admitted very simply: "I remember."
She also remembers the bet between the two.
"If you want to know my true identity, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
Ah Ying raised her head and looked into Xu Cheng's eyes: "I am the goddess who controls shadows and death."
Xu Cheng tried hard to make a surprised expression, but unfortunately he didn't have much strength now, so he could only twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
In fact, he had guessed a long time ago that Aying knew so much about the Great Lord and the divine army, and the respectful attitude of Occam, the Lord of the City of All Nations, towards her, proved that her status must be that of a certain god.
The Divine Religion Army also attached great importance to Aying, and even sent Lucid, whose strength was comparable to that of a god, to hunt him down in person.
There are many famous goddesses, but the only one who can attract such attention from the religious army is this goddess who masters shadows and death.
She blocked the Golden High King for a long time, and was finally wounded by the Great Lord himself.
It's very consistent with Ah Ying's current situation.
Not to mention, the way Ah Ying helped Xu Cheng in the end was to use the power of death.
Of course, this was just a guess in Xu Cheng's mind. Now that he heard Ah Ying admit it, he was still very surprised.
In later generations, he followed Qiu Gongyue to search for Ah Ying's whereabouts. As a result, the manager sent him to this ancient era and asked him to protect the injured Ah Ying. It is difficult to say that there is no connection between them.
Xu Cheng looked at Ah Ying's face covered by the veil and asked, "Can you take off the veil and let me see your face?"
"Can't."
Ah Ying simply refused, and her tone didn't even suggest any discussion.
However, seeing Xu Cheng making such a rude request made her feel relieved.
She didn't want Xu Cheng to become subservient after she revealed her true identity, just like her servants and followers.
After saying so much, Xu Cheng began to feel tired again. He cheered up and chatted with Aying for a few words before falling into a deep sleep.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xu Cheng woke up from his drowsiness and found that it was already dawn.
He looked around and noticed the burned out fire. Aying was sitting next to him, his eyes closed.
As if aware of Xu Cheng's gaze, she opened her eyes and looked at Xu Cheng.
"you're awake."
"Good morning."
Xu Cheng greeted happily: "It seems that my condition is improving. I only slept for one night this time."
Ah Ying shook his head: "You are wrong. It has been sixteen days since you last woke up, but it happens to be morning now."
Xu Cheng's good mood suddenly disappeared, his face turned ugly, and he even began to wonder if Aying was lying to him.
Ah Ying added: "But your condition is indeed improving, and you may be able to stay awake after a while."
Xu Cheng's expression finally recovered. He stared at Aying's veiled face and suddenly noticed something.
"Has your injury worsened again?"
Ah Ying's skin, which was not covered by the veil, was very pale, without even a trace of blood, and her eyes were rather dull, as if she was about to die soon.
Seeing that Xu Cheng could tell, Ah Ying didn't hide it: "Yes, when I helped you in Wanguo City, my injuries became more serious."
She looked into Xu Cheng's eyes and said seriously: "I can carry you for a few more months at most. If you still can't walk on your own by then, then we can only lie down together."
Xu Cheng didn't expect that the situation of the two of them would be so bad.
The original relaxed mood was gone, and he promised Aying: "Don't worry, in a few months, I will be able to stand up on my own."
He is still very confident in his body's recovery power.
Aying nodded, then walked over, picked Xu Cheng up from the ground, and continued on the road.
Xu Cheng was still observing the surrounding environment at first, chatting with Ah Ying here and there, but within an hour, he fell into a coma again, and it was already ten days before he woke up again.
After being awake for two hours this time, Xu Cheng fell into a coma again.
After that, he kept repeating this process of waking up, comatose, waking up, and comatose.
As time passed, good news and bad news appeared in front of them.
The good news is that Xu Cheng's coma time is getting shorter and shorter, and the time he wakes up is getting longer and longer.
The bad news is that he still doesn't have the strength to walk on his own.
At the same time, there is even worse news - Aying's injury is getting worse.
She walked slower and slower while carrying Xu Cheng on her back, and the time became shorter and shorter. At first, she could still carry him on her back, and walked without sleep for several days. Later, it was only one day, then half a day, and several hours.
In the end, after carrying Xu Cheng for half an hour, Ah Ying had to stop and rest.
She also looked increasingly weak.
Xu Cheng had previously suggested that Aying put him down and the two of them stay in the same place until the injury improved before leaving. Anyway, they didn't need to eat or drink.
But Ah Ying rejected Xu Cheng's proposal, and the reason given was - you can't stay in one place for a long time in the green sea, otherwise it will lead to fatal danger, and you must keep moving.
"thump!"
Ah Ying, who was walking on the grass with Xu Cheng on her back, suddenly lost strength and fell forward with him.
At this time, several months had passed since Xu Cheng woke up for the first time.
After falling to the ground, although the fall was not serious, both of them passed out together.
Time did not stop for them. The sun rose and set quickly, constantly switching with the moon, taking turns to go to work.
I don't know how much time passed before Xu Cheng slowly woke up from his coma and found that his whole body was pressed against A Ying's body.
Although it is very obscene to say this now, her ass is really perky.
"Hey, wake up."
Under Xu Cheng's constant shouting, Aying finally slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were still a little dazed, as if she couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Feel sorry."
Xu Cheng had to apologize to her: "I was the one who dragged you down."
A few months ago, he was still swearing that he would get better, but until now, his body was not showing any respect at all. He was still weak and unable to move.
Aying didn't care about Xu Cheng's apology. She gradually came back to her senses, looked at the vegetation around her, and asked, "How long have we been unconscious here?"
"Five or six days, right?"
Xu Cheng was not sure, because it took five or six days for him to wake up every time he was in coma.
Ah Ying's eyes changed: "We must leave here quickly."
Xu Cheng knew why Ah Ying had such a reaction. She had said before that she could never stay in the same place for a long time, otherwise it would lead to fatal danger: "But how are we going to leave now?"
Aying tried to force Xu Cheng to get off her body, but her injuries were extremely serious and she no longer had any strength in her body.
"Think of a solution quickly."
There was a hint of urgency in Ah Ying's tone: "Otherwise we will be in danger after nightfall."
Seeing her being so anxious, Xu Cheng immediately started thinking, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't solve the predicament at hand.
How can two people who can't move leave this place?
Unless Xu Cheng reopens, he doesn't even have the strength to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
The weather in the Green Sea changes quickly. It was broad daylight just now, and it was night in the blink of an eye.
In the dark night sky, not only was there no moon, there were not even a single star, and the entire grassland became invisible.
Xu Cheng and Ah Ying were stacked on top of each other. They couldn't even see each other and could only hear their breathing.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
In the darkness in the distance, a penetrating sound suddenly sounded, like a woman's cry.
Xu Cheng was startled, but he didn't have the strength to turn around and look.
wildcat?
No, there's no way a wild cat can survive in this weird place where there aren't even any animals.
If it were a wild cat, it would not be able to break through the defense of their God's Heart. It must be some kind of more terrifying creature to make Ah Ying, the goddess of shadows, so nervous.
The weird crying sounds soon became one after another. In all directions of the two people, it seemed that there were many extremely sad women crying around the two people.
Even Xu Cheng, who was well-informed and fearless, had a lot of goosebumps on his body at this time.
At his wits' end, Ah Ying asked Xu Cheng, "Have you thought of a way?"
Xu Cheng sighed: "My life is at stake."
Aying: "..."
She no longer counted on Xu Cheng, and her brain was running rapidly. Unfortunately, the serious injury interfered with her thinking ability.
There were more and more cries around him. Xu Cheng opened his eyes and suddenly saw red dots of light shining in the darkness, which were extremely obvious in the darkness.
More and more red points of light emerged in the darkness.
With the faint red light, Xu Cheng tried his best to open his eyes wide and finally saw clearly.
That's a "woman".
Wearing long red dresses, they walked in the dark and cried.
And their faces were hollowed out, and a red lamp was lit inside, just like a carrot lantern.
The red light gave off a faint light, and from the throat below, a piercing cry continued to come out.
Xu Cheng, who was about to wait for death and then restart his life, felt his scalp numb when he saw this scene and gasped: "What the hell is this?"
In the darkness, these "lamp women" seemed to have discovered the two living people, Xu Cheng and A Ying, and began to gather towards them.
Ah Ying remained calm, as if she had seen it before. She suddenly asked Xu Cheng: "Do you still have the ability to cast shadows?"
She had seen Xu Cheng perform dark secret techniques in the City of All Nations before, and she didn't know where this guy who didn't believe in her learned it.
"no."
Xu Cheng swallowed hard: "I don't have enough strength to use the dark secret technique."
"I'll help you."
Ah Ying said without hesitation. At the same time, Xu Cheng felt a pain in his body, as if he was being burned.
The black flame that represented death before appeared on his body again, only the size of a fingernail. However, Xu Cheng's remaining thirty years of life were burned away in the blink of an eye.
Damn it, what do you mean, you help me?
Ten years of life finally gave him precious strength. Xu Cheng immediately used the secret technique of darkness. The shadows under him spread out, trying to attack the surrounding lamp women.
"Don't... they can't be killed."
Ah Ying stopped Xu Cheng's movements and even took away Xu Cheng's control over the shadow.
This is normal, after all, she is the goddess of shadows, and all shadows belong to her.
The sharp shadow quickly struck the ground, directly opening a huge crack. Xu Cheng and Aying fell into the crack at the same time.
The two of them rolled in the gap, and the shadows around them quickly gathered, wrapping them tightly.
Just now, Ah Ying was underneath and Xu Cheng was on her back. Now they were facing each other, wrapped in the shadows like rice dumplings.
Ah Ying was very tall, almost as tall as Xu Cheng, and their faces collided heavily.
Xu Cheng felt a pain in his cheek, and then his face slid away from each other, and their chins rested on each other's shoulders.
As the surrounding shadows shrank, Xu Cheng felt that his body was under great pressure, and Aying's whole body seemed to be squeezed into his body.
The shadow tied the two people into rice dumplings and dropped them directly into the gap. Then it smashed the soil on both sides. Countless soil fell down, burying the two people deeply in the ground.
The crying outside suddenly became inaudible until it disappeared.
But after a while, the ground began to tremble violently.
Neither Xu Cheng nor Ah Ying spoke. They could only hear each other's breathing in the darkness, and they could even feel each other's heartbeat through their fat. It was so clear and strong.
I don't know how much time passed, but amid the beating of their heartbeats, the vibrations in the surrounding soil finally disappeared, and it became dead silence again.
Ah Ying was extremely tired, but felt relieved, knowing that the monsters outside had left.
She was about to speak, but found that Xu Cheng had passed out. He had been seriously injured and had once again consumed ten years of his life, and his spirit had long been unable to hold on.
Ah Ying opened her eyes in the darkness, and she could clearly feel her and Xu Cheng's bodies tightly pressed together, almost indistinguishable from each other.
As a god, she had never known such close contact with a member of the opposite sex in her many years of life.
But when the danger is present, there is no other better way.
Finally, she slowly closed her eyes and buried herself deep in the ground with Xu Cheng.
…………
Spring passes and autumn comes, time passes.
The sun and moon are constantly changing in the sky. On this grassland called the Green Sea, there are occasional winds, occasional rains, occasional droughts, and occasionally heavy snow.
The dense grass has also ushered in reincarnation again and again. Each time it strives to grow, it is finally submerged by a sudden drought or snowstorm, and then continues to grow out of the soil tenaciously.
In this quiet prairie, there are no living animals, only the green weeds are dotted with the only breath of life.
The weather today is very good, the sun is shining, there are no clouds in the sky, and only the gentle breeze caresses the grassland, bringing a peaceful atmosphere.
Suddenly, a slight noise broke the tranquility.
On a ground covered with weeds, a sharp knife suddenly emerged from the ground.
But this knife is black. If you look closely, you can even tell that it is a knife made of shadow.
The knife quickly made a circle on the ground, cutting out an oblong shape two meters wide and three meters long. Immediately afterwards, the thick soil underground was pushed up, and then cracked open, revealing the things hidden deep under the soil. thing.
Under the soil are countless thick roots of plants and trees. These roots are layered and entangled together, forming a thick soil bag.
The black shadow appeared from the earth bag.
It dug up the soil, cut off the dense roots, dug up the soil bag from the ground, and finally cut it in half vertically in the middle.
Shadow opened the upper part of the soil bag, revealing what was inside.
It is also covered with various roots, and two human bodies tightly intertwined can be vaguely seen.
The shadow turned into a scalpel and carefully cut off all the dense roots on it, finally exposing the two people inside.
Xu Cheng's clothes were so torn that only strips of cloth were left. He slowly raised his hands, grabbed Aying's shoulders, and then slowly used force to tear the two apart.
I don’t know how long they have been buried underground, but their bodies have grown together, with countless roots connected to each other.
The shadow that turned into a scalpel carefully got in and cleaned the roots between the two people until they were completely separated.
Xu Cheng stood up from the earth bag, ignoring his almost naked body, and began to move his almost rusty hands and feet, making a clicking sound between his joints.
He breathed in the fresh air, and finally let out a howling sound that spread far across the grassland.
Free at last!
At this moment, Xu Cheng had tears in his eyes and didn't think about the time he spent buried deep in the ground at all.
After moving for a while, he lowered his head and looked into the soil bag.
Aying lay quietly inside. The clothes she wore were specially made and had not rotted after such a long time. Even the veil on her face was intact.
At this time, she opened a pair of pure and beautiful big eyes and looked at the protagonist intently.
"Get up, do you really plan to lie underground for hundreds of years?"
Xu Cheng bent down and stretched out his hand to Aying.
Ah Ying blinked her eyes. She did have this plan. After lying underground for hundreds of years, her injuries would slowly recover.
But Xu Chengcheng couldn't help it. During this period of time, he was buried in the dark underground and could not move freely. He was almost driven crazy.
After the injury subsided slightly, Xu Cheng immediately dug the two people out of the ground on his own initiative, and Aying did not stop him.
She slowly raised her hand, placed it on Xu Cheng's, and let him pull her up from the earth bag.
Just as he stood up, Ah Ying's legs went weak and he was about to fall down again. Xu Cheng put his arms around his slim waist, half supporting and half hugging her.
Although her injuries did not worsen, they were still so bad that she didn't even have the strength to stand.
Xu Cheng hugged Ah Ying and looked around: "Ying, how long have we been buried underground?"
Ah Ying clearly remembered the time and replied: "One thousand one hundred and sixty-five days."
Three whole years! !
Xu Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, almost losing his strength.
He and Aying were buried underground together for three full years. During these three years, he was awake for most of the time, trapped in the darkness where he could not move.
If Ah Ying hadn't been with him, he might have gone crazy.
