The woman stared blankly at Xu Bai, without responding for a long time.
She seemed to see her former self in Xu Bai.
In the past years, countless worlds have united to fight the ultimate battle with the Holy One, and they are also full of confidence.
They think that they can win and regain the initiative to survive, rather than being a garbage that was destroyed at will, but the final result is not the same.
They lost, they lost in a mess, and they were defeated.
The Holy One won, and it was a miserable victory.
But no matter what, they always fail.
The loser has no rights at all, and her confidence has completely collapsed from the beginning to the end, just like jumping from the top of a high mountain and falling into a terrifying hell.
There is nothing left, only decadence, she has no energy, nor any ambitions, just living in this crack, decadent and depressed.
Until today, when she saw Xu Bai being hunted down by a giant tree, she made a move and pulled Xu Bai in. What she thought was that she could find someone to talk to to pass the boring time.
But what she didn't expect was that Xu Bai's words revealed her old confidence and fighting spirit like a raging flame.
The woman's tone was a little slow: "If necessary, I will help you get it out."
Finally, she decided to agree, because she wanted to see it.
Now Xu Bai seems to have given him a glimmer of hope, which is very slim, like a fragile spark, which can easily be destroyed by just a breeze.
But at least there is hope. If there is hope, she will not continue to be depressed.
"There's no rush now, I have to leave here, can you tell me when that giant tree will leave?" Xu Bai shook his head, expressing that he was not in a panic for the time being.
This is a very complicated plan. He must get confirmation from the Emperor Chu and ask the Emperor Chu to help, otherwise it will be difficult to intervene.
The woman said: "If the giant tree can't find you, after a long time, it will naturally return to its original position without any further movements. At that time, you can go out. If you want to come in again, just stay where you are. Shout, I can feel it, after all, we are of the same origin."
Xu Bai nodded: "By the way, until now, I still don't know your name."
The woman promised: "After a long time, I have forgotten my name. I don't want to recall that period of the past, including my own name. I don't have a name now. If you have to call me, you can call me Wu , or Ah Wu."
"Ah Wu..." Xu Bai muttered again: "Can you tell me about the scene where you once fought against the Holy Spirit? I am very curious about how powerful it is to leave the Holy Holy One with one eye."
A Wu nodded, and then, she sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to talk about the past that she didn't want to recall.
Xu Bai also sat cross-legged on the ground, listening patiently.
Around, there is still the scene as pure as white paper, only Ah Wu's slow voice is left.
…
The outside world, the world.
After reading the notebook in his hand, Emperor Chu put it on the table with a livid face.
What happened in the barbarian fief has already been heard in his ears. He didn't expect the opponent's offensive to come so fast, which already made him feel a strong sense of oppression.
"Eunuch Wei, have those people been resurrected?" Emperor Chu asked.
Eunuch Wei bowed his body, stood by the side, put his hands in his sleeves, nodded and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, they have all been resurrected, and our family has also asked. They have indeed seen Xu Bai, but Xu Bai did not convey any information. .”
For them now, time is the most precious, so in the first time, they have already protected those people and gathered them as much as possible.
The Emperor of Chu pondered for a moment, and said: "Whether Da Yue has notified in place, so that they can also gather their own forces, don't feel crowded, at least save their lives, this is the most important thing."
Eunuch Wei agreed: "Everything has been notified, including the border gates on the prince's side, and they have also begun to close the front. Make sure that there will be no omissions, but you also know, Your Majesty, that the world is too big. direction protection."
"And after gathering, there are various follow-up processes that require a lot of energy, including how the gathered people eat and how to survive, these are all things to consider."
In many cases, it is not enough to say a word to fully implement it.
This time, all the people, including the people in the industry, will be shrunk to the center. Things to consider are very complicated.
For example, the people who originally had homes and fields have become homeless and jobless after shrinking. They may not even be able to eat, and many fields will be abandoned directly. The food problem is also a big difficulty.
The Emperor of Chu sighed: "Let all the localities help each other first. If it is really not handled well, then open a warehouse to release food. This is much better than letting them die."
Now it is the moment of life and death, and there is no room to consider too many details. If you can delay it, just delay it for a moment.
Eunuch Wei hesitated and said: "But Your Majesty, according to this rhythm, if the other party uses a delaying tactic with us, they will never attack. If we maintain this state for a long time, it will consume a huge amount of financial and material resources. How long it lasts, the food issue alone is a big problem."
The land is limited, so shrinking the number of people will make the number of people that each piece of land can withstand reach the upper limit, and after reaching the upper limit, it will be a kind of slow death for them.
"I know, but I have to slow down first, and think of a solution as soon as possible within this time. By the way, have you done all the things you have done? I need death row prisoners, kill them all now, and then put this Send a letter for them to take over." Chu Huang said briefly, then changed the subject.
Eunuch Wei nodded: "It's done, you can do it anytime."
He took the letter from Emperor Chu and put it in his arms.
Chu Huang waved: "Then go now."
Eunuch Wei opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but he didn't say anything, turned around and left.
After Grandpa left, Emperor Chu's originally upright figure collapsed in an instant, sitting on a chair with his head leaning on the back of the chair.
"It's a dead end."
"If it shrinks, it will be surrounded by people, and when it cannot make ends meet, it will collapse like a rotten tree."
"The other party is really very smart, and it seems that there are very smart people in command. This siege of the city seems to be well thought out."
"What should I do..."
Chu Huang placed his forehead on the table with his hands, thinking and talking to himself.
On the other side, after Eunuch Wei left the imperial study, he came to a gloomy underground space.
This is the Heaven Prison of the Great Chu State, where all kinds of prisoners are kept, including many death row prisoners.
In the past, these death row prisoners were executed gradually, and they would not gather together because they were worried that it would become weird.
Now it is different, the Guizhou City has become like this, in fact, it can be killed, but they kept it, the purpose is to have a way of communication with Xu Bai.
"Eunuch Wei." The prison chief looked unattractive, but he was actually a master at the peak of the extraordinary. When he saw Eunuch Wei coming, he quickly put down his wine glass and stood up.
"It's okay, just have a drink or two, just don't get drunk." Eunuch Wei waved his hand, not caring.
The prisoner wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling the pressure was heavy.
"Find ten prisoners and bring them out. Our family is waiting outside." Eunuch Wei also saw the nervousness of the cell boss, so he didn't say much, just gave a simple order, and walked out with his hands in his sleeves.
The head of the prison quickly responded, and according to Eunuch Wei's instructions, he brought out the ten death row prisoners and brought them to the outside yard.
The death row prisoners were sallow and emaciated, standing shivering in the cold wind, especially when facing Eunuch Wei, the indifference in their eyes made them feel like they were facing the end of the world.
Eunuch Wei waved his hand lightly. The letter paper given to him by Emperor Chu just now had already been copied by him, divided into ten pieces and thrown into the arms of the death row prisoner.
Immediately afterwards, a gray silk thread shot out quickly, piercing through all ten people present.
"boom!"
A dull voice sounded, and the ten prisoners fell directly to the ground, without even feeling the pain, they had already lost their breath of life.
"Send someone to guard here, remember to trust someone, they will come back to life." Eunuch Wei said lightly.
The cell boss didn't ask any more questions, let alone said more, he quickly nodded and agreed respectfully.
As for why he was resurrected, he didn't want to know, and he didn't dare to know. The less he knew, the safer he would be.
Eunuch Wei waved his sleeves and walked away freely.
The head of the cell didn't dare to disobey Eunuch Wei's words, so he hurriedly found a few cronies, and they all chose strong ones to guard here.
The bright moon outside the window is very bright, and under the night sky, the stars are flickering, which is really beautiful.
…
Tricky market.
Xu Bai and Ah Wu have been chatting here for a long time, and Xu Bai finally understands the many deeds that happened from the beginning to the present.
To be honest, after listening to it, he felt a little sad.
From that distant era of unknown time to now, countless unimaginable years have gone through. The war has spread from that time to the present, and Xu Bai finally learned from Ah Wu the cruelty of that time.
Ordinary people fight, and their lives are counted by bar, but their battle with the holy is based on the world. In an instant, there will be an unimaginable world destruction. These are the prices of the two battles.
"So the most holy must die." Xu Bai said: "There is no need for such a cycle to exist. Everyone's life should be in their own hands, not in the palm of others."
A Wu sighed: "It's simple to say, but it's as difficult as reaching the sky, otherwise we don't have to do this."
Xu Bai shrugged, but did not answer.
There is no need to continue this topic, if it continues, it is nothing but annoyance.
Ah Wu didn't continue speaking, and fell into silence.
No one spoke between the two, a deadly silence gradually spread.
At this moment, Ah Wu looked up at the pure sky and said suddenly.
"he's gone."
Xu Bai changed from sitting cross-legged to standing: "Then I should go too."
Having stayed here for so long, who knows what the outside has become.
Today is different from the past. If you can’t receive any information from the outside, you will feel like the sky is going up and down for a year.
A Wudao: "I'll send you out, but you must be careful, and don't leave the city unless you have to."
Xu Bai nodded, indicating that he understood.
Ah Wu hesitated a little, as if he had something to say, but it was hard to say it.
Seeing this, Xu Bai knew what Ah Wu was worried about, and said with a smile: "When you don't think winning or losing is so important, you only have one thought, and that is to push forward with all your strength. You have to try. I'm not just waiting to die. people, I believe you are not."
A Wu was very depressed: "Who is the one waiting to die? But I have experienced it, and I still don't have too many illusions."
Xu Bai said: "You are not afraid of death, that's what you said, I just need you to help me when I am most difficult, that is good, you should be able to do it."
Ah Wu nodded: "It can be done."
die?
She is not afraid.
Staying here, I want to live, but I just feel that at least I am alive, it is a hope.
Xu Bai raised his hand and patted Ah Wu's shoulder: "You said that I am you, and you are me, but I am not you."
Ah Wu was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
"Just try your best." Xu Bai withdrew his hand and said.
A Mo no way to turn around from a dazed state, nodded, and didn't answer Xu Bai's words, but everything was said in silence.
A crack appeared in the sky, Ah Wu signaled Xu Bai to go in through it.
Xu Bai didn't talk nonsense, he flew into the sky and sank into the crack.
After a while, the crack gradually disappeared and returned to its original state, and this place became that pure world again.
A Wu stared blankly at the blue sky and white clouds. It took a long time before he came back to his senses, and continued to maintain the posture of sitting cross-legged.
…
Tricky market.
Xu Bai's figure suddenly appeared, looking up at the dark red color in the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The giant tree is gone, and so is his threat. This time, we need to hurry up and pass the message out.
He already had a good plan that would at least cause the Holy One to bleed.
Before the final battle, weaken the opponent's strength as much as you can.
"First of all, I need to find a way to contact the outside world, and wait for people to be resurrected. After they are resurrected, I can implement my plan."
Xu Bai thought so.
And at this moment, the originally dark red sky suddenly shook violently.
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "It's really dozing off and giving me a pillow, and I'll look at mine next."
He soared directly into the sky, flying towards the dark red sky.
"Holy One, you've spoiled me for so long, now I want to give you a big gift!"
