In the past two days, the small town of Hercules was in a state of panic.
The news of Hur's defeat was first brought back by a messenger bird from the sky. Not many people knew about it, and it was unknown whether it was a maid or a servant who leaked the news. In less than a day, the news had spread throughout the entire city. When the merchants of Frosius brought back the confirmed news, Mithril fell into a terrifying and oppressive silence.
According to the laws of the continent, if one person was involved in a rebellion, his entire family would be executed. Back then, there was a famous case of rebellion in the continent. It was said that Prince Huer's uncle was accused of improper behavior and insulting the emperor at a banquet hosted by the emperor. In the end, he was convicted of treason, and his entire family was executed.
That was a true super aristocrat, and he had killed them just like that. Even the most powerful aristocrat in the Secret Order was not worthy of carrying his shoes. The entire town had been slaughtered, and to the royal court, it was just a report that they would throw into the trash after reading it.
Everyone was in danger, and everyone was panicking, especially the nobles who participated, as well as the families who had sent troops.
All kinds of news and rumors kept coming. One said that the royal court's army was on the way, another said that Prince Huer had been hanged on the city gate of Sun City, and another said that the God of War had appeared …
Hercules fell into despair. They wanted to run, but they could not. As long as there was land, it belonged to the continent. According to the law, if the royal court's army caught them, they would be punished even more severely. The scope of the massacre would even be extended to the immediate families.
These days, the Earthlings in Hercules were relatively calm. They were not afraid of being bitten when there were too many lice. Anyway, they were already like this. Could it be any more miserable?
However, their honeymoon period with the natives of Hercules was over. There were rumors that the Earthlings had instigated Prince Huer to rebel against the royal court, which led to everyone's death.
During the honeymoon period, the status of the priests, who were sought after by the people, suddenly plummeted. Everyone shouted for them to be beaten, and the nobles no longer had to do anything. The commoners spontaneously dragged them out, tied them up, and hung them on firewood. They cursed them as demons and burned them to death.
The smell of burning human flesh filled the sky above Hercules, and it continued to spread to Frosius, which was even further away.
The people of the mainland were filled with fantasies, hoping that this kind of atonement would appease the fury of the royal court.
There was also a rumor that the King's Court would let them off if they killed all the Earthlings. Many people believed it and looked at the campsite where the Earthlings were gathered. Their gazes became filled with hatred, and they started to conspire in low voices.
The lives of the Earthlings were getting worse, and some people didn't even dare to take half a step out of the camp.
The food crisis once again threatened everyone's survival.
More and more people went out to sell or commit adultery. Some of the races in the mainland still had special hobbies. Although they were tortured to the point that they wished they were dead, they could at least bring back some rations.
Those timid mainlanders who did not dare to kill seemed to prefer to use this method to vent their hatred for the earthlings.
Not only women, but men also joined the ranks of being abused. They were often beaten up like dogs by the onlookers. As long as they didn't die, there would always be some merchants who would give them some food as a reward and let them come back the next day for the sake of popularity.
This kind of thing happened everywhere, every day.
The Earthlings, who cultivated in secret, wagged their tails and begged for pity like animals. They begged the people of the continent to humiliate them, torture them, or beat them up to vent their anger. They lived in the lowest and most lowly manner, but they would still be able to bring back a piece of food when they returned to the camp. Under the flickering light, they felt a trace of satisfaction.
In an inconspicuous corner of the camp, a few rags that could not be more ragged, probably pulled out from a pile of corpses, crudely formed a narrow, dark, and damp doghole-like shed.
Under the shed, a little boy whose body was already smelly lay. Next to him, an even smaller little girl was curled up. She was telling him about today's experience, holding half a black thing in her hand, and she seemed very excited.
"Brother Little Eight, I can earn money now. Look, this is it. I've never eaten something so delicious before!"
The little girl happily held up the black thing in her hand. Even if the little boy couldn't move, he could feel that the thing was rotten and smelly!
The little girl was probably very happy. She continued to say, "Brother Little Eight, don't worry. It's very easy. You just have to go there, take off your clothes, and let them hang you. There are many children there. The bad guy who always bullies us is also there."
"Brother Little Eight, eat some more."
"Last time, it was my head that was hung. I couldn't breathe, and my eyes turned black. It was a little uncomfortable." The little girl's voice became a little low, but she immediately became happy again, "but today, I won't hang my head, only one leg, hanging in the woods, and today, the whip didn't hit me …"
Then she sighed again, raised her once tender but now scarred little hand, and said, "Brother Little Eight, the adults said that there is a better opportunity. They came to choose people today. Many children were chosen, but I wasn't chosen. They said that my hands are too ugly, and I'm dirty, so I can't serve people well. Brother Little Eight, you don't know, I heard from the adults that as long as we use our hands and mouth … that place, we can get three times the amount of food, and we don't have to starve anymore. Sigh, it's a pity that I wasn't chosen …"
"I don't know if they will come again tomorrow. I'll go and wash it. If only I have mom's cosmetics …"
"Brother Little Eight, I'm so hungry …"
The little boy's fingers trembled slightly, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

When Chu Yunsheng woke up, he found that he was already lying on the ground.
He couldn't tell what he felt. The torture of the red liquid was still there, but it began to shrink inward, and the speed of the spear's devouring began to exceed the speed of cell reproduction.
The riot of the third energy strangely disappeared, and the zero-dimensional space returned to calmness.
But he was sure that he did not enter the zero-dimensional space. He fainted like the last time, and he didn't realize anything.
Therefore, he speculated that either the Wuzi Fragment and the black gas jointly suppressed the third energy, or he was out of the control range of the Big Long Feather of the Heavenly Feather Kingdom.
No matter which one it was, his life was saved for the time being.
The tearing feeling of his body appeared again, but it was not very strong. Before he fainted, his control power was almost exhausted, and his breath was very weak. It was already very good that he could barely do this.
He struggled to get up and see where he was, but sadly found that he had "rolled".
He was now a deformed big sarcoma. It was already good enough that he could "roll". Did he want to "walk" again?
Chu Yunsheng's will was still very strong. Besides, what was done could not be undone, and there was no medicine for regret.
He hoped that the spear would devour all the cells as soon as possible and reconstruct the strongest and most powerful body in his history except for the fusion with Dark.
As he thought about it, he accidentally rolled over and hit a wall before rolling back.
It was dark all around, and he couldn't see anything, so he had to stay still to avoid rolling around again. Although the pain of hitting the wall was nothing, it was really …
There was nothing to do, nothing to do. This was not difficult for him. In addition to resisting the power of the red liquid, it was not the first time that he stayed quietly like this.
After a while, a faint light appeared on the side, and it was getting bigger and closer.
Chu Yunsheng suddenly became vigilant. Although the energy at the bottom of the "well" was chaotic, and it was unlikely that there would be any powerful dark energy creatures, it was not guaranteed that there would be extremely strong creatures like the ones in the forest in the extreme north.
Right now, he was at most a big meatball, and the cardinal fire had been used up and was being re-condensed. Except for rolling around and bouncing up and down, he really didn't have any combat power.
But it was not that there was no way at all. His defensive power was still very strong. Although his body was rotten, he was not afraid of being beaten or bitten. His regenerative and reproductive power was extremely strong.
Then he heard the sound of footsteps. It was very light, it should not be hooves, or shoes, it should be a palm entering the ground … Chu Yunsheng was rich in combat experience, so he immediately judged a lot of information.
"You are awake?"
Just as he was carefully listening and observing, a half-familiar voice directly put an end to all his efforts.
He subconsciously turned around, but he did not control his balance well. His whole body rolled over, head down, butt …
At this time, under the light of the fire, he clearly saw the owner of the voice.
"Why did you also fall down?" Chu Yunsheng was surprised. He tried not to think about his awkward position at the moment, it was really embarrassing, and the most important thing was that he did not have pants.
The owner of the voice was Xu Xuejun, who he had just met in the well. She found a piece of rag that looked like a skin and covered her body. She was holding a small homemade torch in her left hand and a similar rag in her right hand.
Chu Yunsheng remembered that when he came down, he pushed her away. Why did she also fall down?
Xu Xuejun covered Chu Yunsheng with the rag in her right hand and helped him to stand up. She smiled faintly and said, "It's better to come down than to stay up there."
Chu Yunsheng thought for a moment and understood. Instead of being stripped naked by the Tian Yu Kingdom, it would be better for him to fall down. Even if he died, it would be clean and neat.
This was in line with her character.
As if she saw Chu Yunsheng's doubt, Xu Xuejun smiled slightly and said, "You fall down first, help me."
Chu Yunsheng wanted to nod, but he immediately realized that if he nodded, his body would shake like a roly-poly doll again. So he smiled bitterly and said, "You can't say that. I can still live up there, but if I come down, I will probably die."
Xu Xuejun brushed the messy hair on her cheek and said quietly, "Since I can't decide how to live, at least, I can decide how to die."
Chu Yunsheng suddenly thought of a serious problem. She kept falling down with him, would the disappearance of the third energy have anything to do with her?
"You …?" Chu Yunsheng did not want to ask directly, but his tone and meaning were obvious.
"What?" Xu Xuejun asked curiously.
"Nothing," Chu Yunsheng thought for a moment and decided to let it go.
It should have nothing to do with her. Otherwise, she would have been "poisoned" by now.
Besides, if he let the third energy erupt, he would have been dead already.
At this time, he would always think of Li, which made him calm down a lot.
"Where did you get the fire?" Chu Yunsheng asked.
"It fell from above, it was extinguished very quickly. Fortunately, I found this dry bone in advance." Xu Xuejun explained and waved the "torch" in her hand. Then she suddenly thought of something and said, "I saw some strange characters over there, do you want to take a look?"
Then she pointed her finger at the deep tunnel that she had just returned from.
"What does it say?" Chu Yunsheng was not very interested in these things, he was more interested in finding the exit.
"Some strange ancient letters, very long, I didn't finish reading it," Xu Xuejun said.
Chu Yunsheng thought for a second and said, "then go take a look, maybe you can find the way out."
Xu Xuejun hesitated for a second, but still said, "how are you going to get there?"
Chu Yunsheng said indifferently, "get lost."
…
Arriving at the place that Xu Ke Jun said, under the light of the torch, Chu Yunsheng endured the stimulation of the red liquid and barely saw the densely packed words. They looked like earthworms, and he couldn't understand them.
Xu Xuejun said, "this should be a kind of ancient Greek, similar to an ancient language called Ionian, but why is there a language here?"
Chu Yunsheng said, "I forgot what your major was. This is actually the earth, didn't director Ruan tell you? I will explain it to you later, what does it say? Is there anything like an exit? "
Xu Xuejun nodded and said, "no, it looks like a long poem, describing the war between two gods. The strange thing is that there is no god mentioned in Greek mythology. Look here, it says that the god of wind breathed out the light of death, the earth shook … Here, the god of lightning appeared from the clouds, with two angry flames … I don't understand a lot of the words, there are too many discrepancies."
Chu Yunsheng suddenly lost interest when he heard that it was a long poem. He rolled to the side and said, "find the way out first, I feel that this tunnel should lead to somewhere."
At this time, a series of messy footsteps and whispers came from the depths of the tunnel.
Chu Yunsheng's face changed. This time, it was not possible that it fell from above, it must be the dark creature at the bottom of the well!
Under the awareness of the crisis, the spear once again accelerated to devour a large number of cells. Inside the rotten flesh of the tumor, he could vaguely see a sharp figure. It was pure darkness, and it was about to break out of the tumor!
***
The third one.
Looking at the monthly votes, he was pushed out of the top 50.
