Chapter 2141 Dark Ages

Chi Ruonan's words startled me. I turned to look at her and found that she was looking at me with burning eyes.

"Uh...how should I put it!" I shook my head, and my face was full of embarrassment.

Because I really didn't know how to tactfully reject this woman, so that she would stop misunderstanding me and stop her from continuing to entangle me with this topic.

"Okay, I understand!" I didn't expect that when I was still trying to decide what to say, Chi Ruonan spoke first: "Don't worry, I just want to make your attitude clear. Since you don't mean to me, I won't continue to pester you!"

I smiled after hearing her words: "I don't belong to this era. I just came here by chance. Besides, I won't stay here for too long. I came here for something I want to do!"

"Then... which era are you from?" Chi Ruonan looked curious.

"I came from... more than 10,000 years later!"

This sentence made Chi Ruonan startled, her eyes widened, and her eyes were full of shock.

"More than 10,000 years later? Then how did you... come to this era?"

Chi Ruonan's reaction was within my expectations. After all, this is the reaction a normal person should have.

"There are some things I don't know how to explain to you. Anyway, I came here just like this." I smiled.

After returning to my era, I thought a lot, so after coming to the ancient times this time, I decided not to continue to reveal any information about my era.

Because in my opinion, this may give people of this era the wrong guidance, thus affecting the course of history, or even changing history.

"Then what are you doing in this era?" Chi Ruonan's curiosity seemed to be aroused, and curiosity was now written all over that heroic face.

To be honest, this expression on this face is more or less incongruous.

Because Chi Ruonan's face... is the face of a master, the kind of person who looks like a master at first glance.

And at this moment, her face is full of girlishness.

But think about it, Chi Ruonan is only in her twenties, this age is the time when she is in her prime and youthful. It's a pity that she was born in ancient times. In this era, as a human, how can there be youth?

It's a blessing to be alive!

"I'm here to find someone, someone... who should be of the same generation as me." I said with a smile.

"So that's the case, it should be a... girl? A girl you care about a lot!" Chi Ruonan asked.

I nodded: "Yes!"

After hearing my affirmative answer, Chi Ruonan did not continue to ask, but hugged her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and stared at the dancing flames in a daze.

"You go back and rest, I'll keep watch tonight!"

Last night, Chi Ruonan did not sleep all night, and according to my speculation, tonight should be safe, and the crisis will most likely come tomorrow.

So I must rest up today.

But Chi Ruonan shook her head: "I'm not sleepy, let's go together, or you go to rest!"

Seeing that she insisted, I didn't say anything more, but sat cross-legged on the ground, pinched the seal with my hands, and began to use the dragon-slaying skills to devour the dragon blood in my body.

Perhaps it is because of the laws of heaven in this era. I found that after coming to this era, the power of the dragon blood in my body can be absorbed faster, and as the dragon blood is absorbed, my strength seems to be slowly increasing.

Although the growth is very slow, at least it is much faster than in my era.

After all, the spiritual energy here is so dense that it has turned into mist.

"It may be windy tomorrow!"

I don't know how long it took, Chi Ruonan's voice suddenly sounded, I opened my eyes and looked at her, then asked: "Windy? How do you know?"

"Look at the moon!" Chi Ruonan pointed at the moon with her chin, I looked up and saw that the moon, which was not very clear to begin with, was blocked by dark clouds, and a layer of burrs appeared around it. That layer of burrs is also called wind thorns. Once this phenomenon occurs, it proves that it will be windy soon.

And the wind will definitely not be small.

If it were in modern times, it would be nothing, just wind, no need to worry about it.

But this is the ancient times, even the wind is strong wind, once a strong wind blows, it is also fatal to ordinary people.

"The wind in your time... seems to be strong wind?" I asked.

Chi Ruonan nodded: "It's not entirely true. The wind that blows normally is still normal wind, but once this kind of abnormal phenomenon occurs, it means that there will be a strong wind, and it will last for a long time!"

"How long did the longest one last?" I asked.

Chi Ruonan pondered for a while, then said: "Ten years!"

"Ten years?" My pupils shrank, and my eyes were full of surprise.

If the strong wind blows for ten years, how will this world be destroyed?

Not to mention the human race, even the demon race would find it difficult to endure.

Moreover, the strong wind will have a huge impact on the ecological environment. All flowers, plants and trees will be destroyed. Even plants on the ground can hardly survive. It must be difficult to see a green leaf in the whole world!

And under such harsh conditions, how did the human race... survive?

I swallowed my saliva with a gulp, and then asked, "Have you experienced that era?"

"No!" Chi Ruonan shook her head and said, "That was an era that almost wiped out the human race. There was no food, and even no water. The human race could only live in the dark underground, which never saw the sun. That era was called... the Dark Ages by the older generation of people!"

"Dark Ages? Then how did our human race survive?" I asked.

Hearing this, Chi Ruonan turned her head and looked at me. Her eyes suddenly dimmed, and then she shook her head and said, "You don't want to know!"

This sentence made me stunned. I opened my mouth, but didn't say a word.

Because after Chi Ruonan said that, I had already guessed the answer.

In that underground place with no food, no water, and no sunlight, the only way to survive is...

to eat humans!

Although this sounds absurd, horrible, and even morally corrupt!

But when it comes to life and death, some things are no longer important!

And at that time, the life and death of a certain person has become insignificant.

The only thing everyone wants to do is to keep this population going.

And the only way is cannibalism!

Let the relatively young people eat the last old people, and then let the younger people eat the relatively young people...

Finally, let the youngest people eat everyone...

"Compared with the Dark Ages, we are already lucky enough and happy enough!" Chi Ruonan murmured.
