The sun rises and sets, and twilight gathers.
Time passed little by little, and the cold weather entered the coldest period.
On the ground in Luocheng, looking around, thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow drifting. But the streets and alleys were bustling with people, making it very lively.
Today is Yuan Day.
It was also the beginning of the thirty-fourth year of Emperor Jing.
Even though the severe cold remains, it cannot resist people's enthusiasm for celebrating the festival. Many people get up early to decorate their homes and go to the streets to buy New Year's goods.
Red lanterns were hung high, wine was warming on the stove, and festive couples were posted on both sides of the door, complementing the surrounding white snow.
Smoke billows from every house. The aroma of the hot broth continues to spread among the neighbors.
The laughter of adults, the play of children, the nagging of the elderly, the barking of dogs and the crowing of chickens are endless.
At the beginning of this year, the Lord's Palace of Luo City allocated a sum of money to give each household a pound of fine fat meat to the residents living in Luo City.
It is said that it was because of the victory in the battle. As for what victory it was, it is unknown.
And the other side.
Underground world, blood iron ore area.
Looking around, this place is in ruins. There are white bones, collapsed rocks, red earth, and broken buildings everywhere.
The cold, bitter wind is still whining and whistling here, seemingly never stopping.
No living beings could be seen, no living creatures could be seen. The prosperity of the past is gone, and the vitality of the past is gone.
Occasionally, a few mice jumped through the bones, and their squeaking sounds wandered through the empty tunnels, spreading far and wide.
Defeat is empty, death is lonely.
Su Wu was forced to wake up from the cold.
He shook his somewhat heavy head first, and after his five senses became clear, he carefully felt the movement in the outside world.
Nothing could be heard except the whimpering wind.
While I felt relieved, I was also a little heavy.
He did escape by chance, but the situation in the blood iron mining area where he relied for survival seemed very bad.
There is a high probability that it has suffered a devastating blow.
After hesitating for a moment, he smashed the frozen hard mud shell, then moved his body slightly, and then hurriedly broke open the mud and stone sealing the shaft.
Immediately, a stream of cold air slowly spread in. Let the dull and decaying atmosphere in the shaft be updated and iterated.
The cave tunnel leading to the outside world is still blocked by various huge rocks. It will not be easy to dig out a passage for a while.
Su Wu was not in a hurry. After he felt that the air in the shaft was completely renewed, he smashed open the mud shells containing herbs, blood iron, dried meat and other items one by one.
I don’t know how long this hibernation lasted.
At this moment, I was feeling unbearably hungry and in urgent need of additional food.
Fortunately, before hibernation, he had swallowed a bitter bamboo plant, and had anti-life medicine cocoon and blood refining veins to slowly release the medicinal properties and blood essence. This hibernation did not damage the demon body, and even made slight progress.
It's a blessing in misfortune.
In fact, if you are more prepared, a short hibernation will help improve your strength, but this requires a lot of medicinal properties and energy support in the body. Compared with active exercise, it is not worth the gain.
Due to the extreme cold in the shaft and the protection of the mud shell, the medicinal materials and dried meat did not deteriorate and were relatively well preserved.
But also due to the cold, the jerky is as hard as a rock. Every time Su Wu took a bite, there was a crunching sound, which was very difficult to swallow.
As a last resort, he could only chop the dried meat into pieces with stones, and then swallowed it without chewing.
He ate very carefully, picking up the scraps of meat one by one, not wanting to waste it at all.
The situation outside is unclear now, and because we were running away in such a hurry, we could only pick out some important things, so we must use the little food in our hands with caution.
After eating three to five kilograms of dried meat, his stomach was only 30% full, but Su Wu took the initiative to stop.
You have just woken up from hibernation, so you can't eat too much. You need to give your demon body a process of adaptation. And the most important thing is that there is always a trace of hunger in his belly, which can make him think quickly and maintain a high enough level of vigilance.
Eating too much can easily paralyze the brain and cause inertia.
So, after everything is ready.
Su Wu then wrapped his family property in a piece of animal skin, and then started digging out.
This digging lasted seven full days!
How hard it was to attack the cave wall in the first place, now it is so painful to dig.
The main reason is that he can only dig with his bare hands and does not dare to attack with the Qingyun Small Sword. After all, the situation outside is unclear at the moment, so it is unwise to use it rashly.
No matter whether the three major forces regain control of the blood iron mining area, or whether humans completely destroy the place, no trace of the Qingyun Sword Art can be left behind.
During the seven days, I took a short rest when I was tired, licked the frost condensed on the rock wall when I was thirsty, and ate one or two pieces of dried meat when I was hungry.
As the scales on his hands were broken again and again, they were restored again and again. After an unknown number of times, a huge boulder collapsed outward with a roar, and the tunnel that had been covered in dust for an unknown period of time was finally opened.
The smoke dispersed, but Su Wu was nowhere to be seen.
After more than ten minutes, the guy walked out of the opened mine and poked his head out.
Standing at the door of the cave, Su Wu dispersed the Qingyun sword that had quietly condensed, and looked around, but his heart was at a loss.
There is good news and bad news.
The good news is that when he was digging through the tunnel, he found dried meat that he had not had time to take away before, and some blood iron.
Added together with the supplies on his body, there are a total of 400 kilograms of dried meat, four 0-level medicinal herbs, five 1-level medicinal herbs, and 20 catties of blood iron.
A huge amount of supplies!
The bad news is that this is the only material he has.
Because the blood iron ore area in front of them was completely silent. There are ruined walls everywhere, as well as white bones and dark red rock and soil scattered on the ground, making it a lifeless scene.
All over the fields, it was a mess.
'The Qing Dynasty is dead. '
Su Wu should have been grateful that he survived, but at this scene, he felt a little sad in his heart.
Only the wind of bitterness and evil was still howling non-stop, but it made the bitterness in his heart aggravate by three points.
Just a few days after living a good life, I finally had enough food and clothing, and I saw that I could go further, but it was completely destroyed by a war.
A sneak attack from the weirdos?
No wonder!
Are the monsters and monsters tampering with evil?
No wonder!
There is no right or wrong in the war of races. There is also no right or wrong in using power.
The only strange thing is that in this damn world, his own strength is too weak. He is too weak to resist and does not dare to resist. He can only passively endure all this.
'Power! '
Su Wu sighed slightly.
If he had the strength to build a soul, why would he be so confused and confused now, not knowing what to do?
Unfortunately, there is no if!
The nature of the world is cruel. If you cannot accept it actively, then I will let you bear it passively! This is an unchanging truth in any world.
After stabilizing his emotions, Su Wu gathered his mood and began to investigate.
He first looked at Xuetiefang City. Most of the things had been destroyed, and all useful materials had been looted.
This is a good thing!
Because it is impossible for humans to search so thoroughly, it must be done by the monsters from the sewage land, and only these guys will not let go of cow dung.
As for the Blood Iron Mine Cave, it has been completely destroyed.
I don’t know what methods the Qingyun Sect used. The originally bottomless Blood Iron Mine Cave has completely collapsed and been filled with countless huge rocks.
Occasionally, you can see some weird symbols engraved on those boulders.
These symbols are very strange and not simple at first glance.
This may be one of the methods used by human cultivators to prevent the re-exploitation of blood iron ore.
'Perhaps this is the reason why the three major forces did not take over the blood iron mine again. '
'It's completely over here! '
'Let's go to Shuidifang City and have a look. Hopefully it hasn't been completely destroyed there. '
...
