After finally appeasing these people, Cheng Ying finally learned some more detailed information about this world from these people, because the darkness in this world has a great ability to shield spiritual perception.
It was too strong. Even his spiritual power, which was originally enough to perceive several galaxies, seemed extremely small here.
You can only perceive the range within the surrounding area. Even if you explode your own perception, you can only feel the situation within a few dozen miles at most. In this case, it becomes important to ask the local people and understand the local indigenous people.
.
And these aborigines also revealed a lot of useful information.
"Survivors like us are not only found here, but are distributed all over the world. No one has a specific count of the number of survivors, but as far as I know, the largest survivor colony even has enough
With 100,000 people, it is already a city, and it is prosperous beyond our imagination.
But it is also constantly declining there, just like our bonfires will eventually go out, and their bonfires cannot burn forever. The end will eventually come, but it will never be today. This is the slogan those city-states firmly believe in.
It is also the slogan that their warriors will shout every time they face danger from the darkness.
When I went out to collect supplies, I was fortunate enough to encounter their army. It was a truly powerful army. When gathered together, they could even enter the darkness without relying on any external bonfires. Their own light
It’s enough to take care of your surroundings.”
After questioning the survivors, Cheng Ying learned some of the rules of this world. Although extraordinary people are extremely rare in this world, even third-level extraordinary people are already the top power in the world. But this
There are still some people in this world who use other means than extraordinary beings to release light and illuminate the darkness.
That is to bring a large number of people together and let them uphold the same belief. The more unified this belief is, the higher the belief, the better the effect of lighting up the darkness. This is the reason why the army exists. The darkness
There are no monsters in the world, and the army does not need to fight against tangible existences. The more important purpose of their formation is to fight against invisible threats, threats from the spiritual level and threats from darkness.
For the army in this world, morale is everything. Without morale, no matter how sophisticated the equipment is, it is meaningless. Once the morale is high, no matter how serious the damage is to the body, it will be built in the legion.
Gradually healed in the light.
This is also the magic of the human army in this world. It is the biggest trump card of every city-state, but they can continue to this day. It is because there are extraordinary people sitting in the city-state, constantly adding new power to the bonfire.
Because the army cannot maintain high morale all the time, they also need to rest, and there must be a shelter that is quiet and bright enough so that they can have a safe environment to rest and restore their morale.
"It is indeed an incredible sight. Human beings in this world use their own power to persevere in the end of the world. To be honest, even if the number of extraordinary people is more, I may not be able to imagine that they can survive in such an end of the world.
Survive." Entropy couldn't help but lament the tenacity of civilization. Although the world is cruel, the lights of civilization will always flicker in this cruelty, but it is a pity that the lights of this world will eventually go out.
Cheng Ying didn't say much, but asked about the location of nearby cities. These people had only been to market towns that were relatively close to them. That was the farthest distance that their bonfires could travel in the dark, and the distance was even greater.
If it is too far, the bonfire will go out during the journey. After losing the bonfire, it is impossible to walk alone in the darkness. Just a moment can make a person crazy.
But they found out in the emergency room that the emergency department had the ability to go to a real city, where they could still see some of the prosperity of humankind in the past. The members of the tribe were full of longing for the city's description, as if it was a paradise, but it was a pity that they
It is impossible to go there in your lifetime.
According to their description, as long as they arrive at the market town, they can find out how to get to the real city. Gods with powerful power like them will be very welcome in the market town, and the questions they ask are also
You will definitely get an answer.
Cheng Ying said goodbye to the tribe. Before leaving, he thought about it, took out a small jade bottle with the ability to preserve freshness, put a few drops of his own blood into it, and then corked the bottle, even after the bottle was corked.
, the inside of this bottle will still emit light, illuminating the surroundings through the originally opaque bottle.
Carrying it can move forward alone in the darkness. Such a thing left in this world is equivalent to an artifact, an artifact that can illuminate the darkness forever, and when the campfire of this tribe is about to extinguish.
, introduce a drop of blood from it into the bonfire, and you don’t know how long it can continue to last.
Cheng Ying cannot save the entire world, but there is nothing wrong with expressing a little kindness to the humans who are struggling to survive here.
"You are kind-hearted. These people will eventually die. If you let them struggle in this doomsday for a while longer, it will only increase their pain."
"But as they said, the end will eventually come, but it is not today. Living hard is the path they choose. And if they have the courage to live, I have no reason to stop them."
Entropy shook his head, and the two continued to move forward on this land. They could have flown, or even teleported, and appeared directly in the market town described by the tribesmen. Of course, their purpose was to observe the world, so they could not
They did not rush to get there, but walked there normally. The darkness here could not harm them, and by measuring the land here step by step, they could understand the world more clearly.
"I saw the survivors far away from us. They were collecting supplies in the city. Only when I really saw their movements did I realize how difficult it is to collect supplies in such an environment."
At this time, both of them were able to see the distance through their mental power. The darkness could not completely block their perception, but it could completely block the feelings of ordinary people. For them, everything outside the range illuminated by the torch in their hands
They are all invisible, and the torches in their hands can only illuminate the area about three feet around them, which means that they can only fumble forward, and they may not even be able to see the road under their feet, and once the body arrives
Being in the darkness will be a nightmare-like experience for them.
Such a journey is very dangerous. They can only see three feet around them, which means that it is difficult to remember the way forward. They must leave a mark on the ground every short distance. At this time, they also have some understanding.
The reason why there were many roads connected by stones on the ground around the previous tribes.
Those are the marks they made. The distance between each stone is very short. It is precisely because they have to find the position of these stones in this weak light.
If the distance between the stones is a little farther, the bonfire will not be enough to illuminate the positions of the stones.
And they can't even see the road in front of them clearly. If they take a step forward, they may fall under the cliff. Although there is no real danger in the darkness, these people don't know.
The moment they step into the darkness, they will see all kinds of hallucinations and terrifying things, and those things may even leave real scars on their bodies.
The two of them were extremely powerful. They couldn't even control the light on their bodies, so they didn't know what would happen if they really entered the darkness. But after observing these people, they finally understood.
The hallucinations seen in the dark are not just hallucinations. If those hallucinations really cause harm to people, the body in reality will also be harmed. While they were observing, someone accidentally put their hands on
He reached out of the darkness, and then screamed. When he retracted his hand from the darkness, he saw that two fingers were missing, as if they were bitten off by an unknown creature.
But in fact, both of them were able to clearly capture the changes at that moment with their mental strength. Nothing bit them. It was just that two sections of their fingers were missing out of thin air.
Those monsters in the dark are real to these ordinary people. What determines whether something is real depends on the human perception on the one hand, and the impact on the material world on the other. In these two aspects, in the darkness
All the monsters have done this. So to ordinary people in this world, there is no difference between them and real monsters.
In other words, a person who goes into the darkness with a bonfire to explore is equivalent to being in the darkness where monsters are rampant. He only has a three-foot field of vision. If he explores slowly and exposes the darkness a little, he will be attacked by the monsters hiding in it.
It's so terrifying to have that kind of monster three feet away in front of you, but you can't see it at all. Even if the two of them have experienced countless things, they can imagine that this will have an extremely huge impact on ordinary people.
Even so, the adult men in the tribe must shoulder the heavy responsibility of collecting resources. They need to search the cities for ruins left over from the civilized era, and they also need to collect some resources that can only be bred in the dark.
For them, these are explorations that risk their lives again and again.
The closer the two get to the market town, the more people like this there are. Obviously, as a logistics transfer center, there are quite a lot of materials in the market town that can be sold or purchased here, although most of the transactions have returned to the original
Bartering, but in such an environment, survival is obviously easier than surviving among tribes. There will be more explorers around, and they may just get some relics of ancient civilizations.
I got some artifacts or treasures.
Even ancient pots and pans are quite treasured in this era.
It's just that as time goes by and the darkness erodes, these things will become less and less. In the future, it will be more and more difficult to obtain these items needed for life in the dark, just like they do.
It is said that the end will eventually come, and this civilization that barely survives on the remnants of ancient civilization will gradually become lost.
After arriving at the market town, the number of people here became obviously larger, and you could see dots of lights in the distance, slowly trekking in the darkness.
The light from the bonfire is probably the only thing that can be transmitted in the darkness. Although it is very weak and the distance cannot be seen clearly, every light is as far away as a star, but you can see them twinkling in the darkness.
It gives people a sense of peace of mind, letting people know that these little lights have not been extinguished and civilization continues to exist.
When Cheng Ying and the two came to the city, they immediately caused a sensation. Although there were only a few thousand people here, it was already the largest market town far and near, and the brilliance of the two of them was even in this town.
Shining brightly.
"Do ancient gods still exist today? Please accept our offerings and give us the seeds of light!" An old man in the market town took out the cans buried in the ice cellar underground.
The most precious thing that can be found in civilization.
It is difficult to preserve cans for such a long time. The few that can be preserved for such a long time are those buried in underground cold storages in cities. For these entities that are almost impossible to see in the distance in the dark,
You can imagine how valuable this thing is.
Maybe in order to obtain such a can, someone will die in coldness and eventually freeze to death. Every time this happens may be an unexpected chance.
Chengying did not refuse the old man's offering. Just like before, he took out a few drops of his own blood and put it in a bottle. This was an extremely precious gift to this market town, enough to light the lights here for several years.
Or even longer.
"Where is the nearest town from here? We hope to go there and help the people there light their lights." The following words are just an excuse. Cheng Ying wants to go to the town just to understand the world more deeply.
According to the rules, as for whether to light the lights for people in the town, it depends on the people or things you meet along the way.
The old man in the market town did not hide it, and seemed to know very well that in such a small place, it was impossible for two such ancient gods to be left behind, so he pointed out the direction of the real city, which was hundreds of miles away from this market town.
Even a small army in a market town would be unable to cross such a long distance.
