Chapter 678 Goddess of Pain(1/3)
Author: Pigeon Butcher
Imagine being in darkness, surrounded by dead silence, and no sound can be heard.
But he was restrained so tightly that he couldn't even move his fingers.
Under such circumstances, ordinary people may not be able to hold on for a few hours, and will go completely crazy in two or three days.
And Xu Cheng was buried for three years. If he hadn't relied on Aying to communicate with him and relieve his mental stress, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy.
So after his injuries improved slightly, Xu Cheng immediately dug the two people out of the ground and regained their freedom.
On the contrary, Ah Ying just wanted to continue to be buried underground. After a few hundred years, her injuries should be recovered.
But when Xu Cheng wanted to come out, she didn't stop him.
She knew that although Xu Cheng's soul was tough enough, he still failed to complete the Trinity and would still suffer mental torture.
If he is buried for a few more years, he will most likely go crazy even with her by his side.
After coming out of the earth bag, Xu Cheng directly carried A Ying on his back, then relied on his intuition to randomly choose a direction and started moving.
He has fully understood the situation of this green sea from Aying's mouth. There are no roads in this place at all. Even if you go straight in one direction without turning around in the middle, you can't leave.
Because the geographical environment and climate here are constantly changing, the southeast, northwest and northwest are also in chaos.
Unless you are very lucky, if you get lost here, you will most likely never get out.
"Look at how blue the sky is today!"
"Look at how green this land is!"
"Look at the wind, how cool it is!"
Xu Cheng carried Ah Ying on his back and kept talking as he walked, as if he had suddenly become a talkative.
Ah Ying lay on Xu Cheng's back and listened silently, occasionally replying with a sentence or two.
In the past three years, the two of them had been buried underground. Except for secrets that should not be told, they had already talked about all the other topics, and there was even nothing to say after that.
Now that he is finally free, Xu Cheng is excited, but also full of desire to talk, as happy as if he has found a new topic.
After chatting for several hours, Xu Cheng finally shut up.
He and Aying didn't talk anymore. They were walking on the endless prairie with the cool breeze blowing. Looking down from the sky, their tiny figures were as small as ants on this green land.
Because he met the weird lamp woman three years ago, Xu Cheng did not stay in any place for a long time and kept walking forward with A Ying on his back.
The stars move, the sun and the moon alternate.
One year, two years, three years...
The sun and moon in the sky come and go in a hurry, rising in the east and setting in the west, and occasionally rising in the south and setting in the north.
The weeds under our feet kept growing, reaching up to waist height, and then began to die in large areas, turning into dead branches all over the ground, repeating the cycle of life and death.
The climate also keeps changing back and forth through the four seasons.
The cold wind howled, and heavy snow fell like goose feathers from the gloomy sky.
The endless grassland seems to be covered with a thick white quilt.
Xu Cheng carried Ah Ying on his back and trudged through the snow that covered his knees, leaving a long trail of footprints behind him, which was covered by heavy snow in the blink of an eye.
The heavy snow disappeared, the sun shone brightly, and the fierce sun hung high in the sky.
All the vegetation has withered and died, the earth is cracked, and the air is gradually distorted by the high temperature.
Xu Cheng carried Ah Ying on his back and walked in the nearly Baidu heat wave, sweating profusely.
Ah Ying lifted up the hem of her black skirt and covered Xu Cheng's head to protect him from the harsh sun.
The dead vegetation was covered with a thick layer of dead branches on the ground. I don’t know how long it had passed, but green buds emerged from the dead branches and grew tenaciously.
The dry land was covered with green again, and then a violent storm ushered in. Countless tornadoes connecting the sky and the earth raged on the grassland, sweeping away everything visible to the naked eye.
Xu Cheng used his shadow to dig a deep hole in the ground, buried himself and Ah Ying again, and waited for the storm to pass.
"How long have we been gone?"
"Three thousand seven hundred and fifty-nine days."
"Has it been ten years?"
In the darkness, Xu Cheng and A Ying were chatting face to face. He grabbed A Ying's hands and counted them one by one. After counting, he would start counting again to pass the time.
After being buried on the ground for three years, and then wandering in the green sea for ten more years, the two have become friends who talk about everything, and even partners who relieve each other's loneliness.
However, the only person who needs to relieve his loneliness is Xu Cheng. Aying doesn't need it, but she still has nothing to do with Xu Cheng, talking nonsense and playing some boring games.
"How long can you live?"
In the darkness, Ah Ying opened his eyes and looked at the white hair on Xu Cheng's head.
When she first entered the Green Sea, she thought Xu Cheng would die soon, but she didn't expect that he would persist for so long.
"Don't worry, I still have a long life, long enough to live until I get impatient."
Xu Cheng looked indifferent, but his heart was far from being as optimistic as he appeared on the surface.
He originally thought he had a long life of thirty years left, but he burned for ten years to avoid danger, was buried underground for three years, and then wandered with A Ying for ten years.
He only has seven years left to live. Even if he survives these seven years safely, his injuries will not heal.
Not to mention Ah Ying, her injuries would take at least five hundred years to heal.
Although Xu Cheng behaved very optimistically, Ah Ying had been with him for more than ten years and had long seen through this man, becoming extremely familiar with him.
But she didn't say anything.
The storm passed quickly. Xu Cheng controlled the shadow, dug up the soil again, and came out of the ground with Aying.
He stood up, faced the water-filled grassland, raised his hands and stretched, then took a deep breath of the moist wind.
But soon, he froze on the spot.
"What is that?"
Aying was cleaning the grass blades off her body. When she heard Xu Cheng's words, she subconsciously raised her head and was stunned.
The storm has not gone far yet, and the sky is filled with thick dark clouds.
Under the gloomy sky, a pyramid appeared at the end of the grassland.
Although it was very far away and subtle, with Xu Cheng and Ah Ying's eyesight, they could still clearly see that it was indeed a pyramid.
Xu Cheng recovered from his surprise and lowered his head to look at Aying.
Ah Ying's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, with a look of uncertainty in her eyes.
"It seems that there are changes in the green sea that I don't know about."
According to Aying's understanding, there is no human civilization in the Green Sea, and of course there will be no human buildings here.
Since a pyramid appears out of thin air, it means that the Green Sea has changed.
"It's normal. Haven't you been here for hundreds of years?"
Xu Cheng and Aying talked about countless topics until the last time she entered the Green Sea was hundreds of years ago. In these hundreds of years, it is possible that the Green Sea will change.
"No matter what it is, just go over and take a look and you'll know."
Xu Cheng picked up Ah Ying on his back and chased towards the pyramid in the distance.
There is no need to communicate. The two of them now have a tacit understanding. They know that the appearance of this pyramid is an accident, and maybe it is also an opportunity that can solve their current predicament.
Especially since Xu Cheng only has seven years left to live.
The pyramid seems to be right in front of you, but in fact it is far away. After walking for most of the day, there is no change in the field of vision.
Xu Cheng could no longer be stingy with the power he had finally accumulated, lest the pyramid suddenly disappear again.
He summoned a shadow, wrapped himself and Ah Ying, and quickly moved towards the pyramid.
Moving at high speed, the pyramid finally gradually enlarged in the eyes of the two of them, which also made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief, which meant that the golden tower was not a mirage.
More than an hour later, Xu Cheng and Ah Ying finally arrived at the bottom of the pyramid.
This pyramid looks as majestic as a mountain, with square strips of boulders embedded on it, and the surface is covered with green moss.
When Xu Cheng and Aying came to the bottom of the pyramid, they found that seven or eight lost people had gathered here.
A lost person is someone who is lost in the green sea and cannot leave. Xu Cheng and Aying are also considered lost people now.
It is not that there are no living people in the Green Sea, but most of them are dead. Those who can survive without exception have considerable abilities.
Xu Cheng and Aying wandered for ten years, and encountered lost people several times along the way.
Noticing the approach of Xu Cheng and A Ying, this group of mutually exclusive lost people cast wary glances at the two of them at the same time.
These lost people must have been trapped in the green sea for many years and have more or less mental problems. Just like autistic people, they are very wary of other lost people.
Xu Cheng didn't want to cause trouble for himself, because he and Aying were very weak now, and the current situation of being wary of each other couldn't be better.
"Do you see anything?"
