679: C679 Starvation

C679 Starvation

The sun was high in the sky, and Ye Xiao was lying on the grass, exhausted, recovering his strength. Suddenly, he was embarrassed to discover something that seemed to be extremely serious: he was hungry.

Ever since he started cultivating, Ye Xiao rarely thought of this problem. This was because Cultivator only received the heaven and earth origin energy in his body, so King Yuan and above rarely ate anything from the five valleys. Even if he ate some, it was mostly the spirit grass and spirit fruits, or he could even occasionally fill his stomach with desire.

Hearing the rumbling sounds coming from his stomach, Ye Xiao swallowed his saliva and said bitterly to the Sword Spirit: "Sword Spirit ? I'm hungry! "

As his voice fell, the Sword Spirit did not reply. Only after a while did the Sword Spirit forcefully spout out three words: "I'm not hungry!"

Suddenly, Ye Xiao's face turned green. This was the first time he realized that this arrogant Sword Spirit was actually so humorous.

Rubbing his stomach, he climbed up from the grass with some difficulty before continuing on his way. Below his feet, other than the endless grasslands, there wasn't even a single tree. He simply couldn't think of anything to eat.

After walking for a few more kilometers, Ye Xiao was so hungry he felt dizzy. Looking at the birds that occasionally flew by in the sky, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, as if he could smell a hint of meat.

Looking at the vast and unchanged prairie, Ye Xiao revealed a bitter smile: I am a Cultivator of Yuan Zong Level after all, and yet I am currently facing a situation of imminent death by starvation.

Finally, Ye Xiao made an extremely difficult decision: to eat the grass! In the entire Great Prairie, the only thing that seemed edible was this. However, for someone who was extremely hungry, this wasn't too hard to accept. Although the taste of the grass wasn't necessarily good, it was still barely enough to fill his stomach.

He bent down and pulled up the tender grasses one by one. After staring for a while, he clenched his teeth and was about to stuff them into his mouth.

"Wait!" The Sword Spirit's voice suddenly came over, "Don't eat yet, walk towards that small grassy slope!"

Ye Xiao stared blankly for a moment. Then, he tossed down the grass and began to walk towards the slope one or two kilometers ahead of him. After exhausting almost all the energy in his body, Ye Xiao finally got scared. When he was standing on the grassy slope, he suddenly froze. Not far in front of him, a corpse had actually appeared.

He did not know how long the corpse had been dead, but it was already decaying. Ye Xiao carefully walked over, and saw that he could no longer see his face.

"Is this the person who entered the Demon Burying Abyss before?" Ye Xiao asked the Sword Spirit in a dry tone.

"Yes!" The Sword Spirit answered.

Ye Xiao looked at the corpse, and asked anxiously: "How did he die?" Along the way, Ye Xiao basically did not discover any danger. However, this person had clearly died here.

After a while, the Sword Spirit slowly replied: "Eat grass!"

"What?" Ye Xiao was startled, but managed to react in the next moment, "Are you saying that there's something wrong with the grass? You can't eat it? " Ye Xiao suddenly felt a cold sensation engulfing his entire body. He had practically put the grass into his mouth just now, if it wasn't for the Sword Spirit stopping him, would he have become a corpse just like the person in front of him?

"Pull up a stalk of grass and uproot it with your roots!" The Sword Spirit suddenly said, her voice sounding a little hurried.

The corner of Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, and then, with some care, he pulled out a stalk of grass. From the root of the grass, a few extremely sparkling and translucent bean-sized blood-colored sphere s actually fell onto the ground.

"What is this?" Looking at the demonic red beans, Ye Xiao asked curiously.

"Just as I expected!" The Sword Spirit's voice sounded, "This is the Blood-Thirsty Bug's egg, after this bug hatches, it will be extremely tiny and can hide in the grass. Usually, it will stay dormant, but once the grass is eaten, it will revive."

"At that time, they will enter one's bloodstream and slowly devour all the blood in one's body."

Hearing the Sword Spirit's words, Ye Xiao suddenly shivered. This kind of death was a bit terrifying.

Ye Xiao hurriedly tossed the grass in his hands far away, then slowly heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Ye Xiao opened his mouth and said: "That means, among the people that entered the sealed grounds, the reason why few of them were able to walk out unharmed, was because they starved to death, or ate the grass, and died?"

The Sword Spirit was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's not that simple. This sealed area is extremely mysterious, and it's possible that everyone who enters will encounter different situations. This sealed space is not a fixed space, but is rather a fusion of many different dimensions.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know about others, but I'm afraid I will starve to death here." Ye Xiao said dryly.

"Idiot, with this grandpa here, I won't let you starve to death." The Sword Spirit laughed, then said: "Pull out this piece of grass, and then dig downwards at least fifteen meters!"

"Dig downwards?" Ye Xiao was puzzled, "What is underground?"

"Just listen to what this grandpa says!" The Sword Spirit said mysteriously, "Hurry and dig, do you want to starve to death?"0

Ye Xiao shrugged his shoulders, then pulled up all the grass in the surrounding three meters radius around him, and then looked at the ground beneath his feet in a daze!

"This... You want to continue digging just like that? " If his cultivation was all present, with a single palm from Ye Xiao, he could create a deep pit of over one meter, but with his hands, it was extremely tiring.

Moreover, Ye Xiao had already tried pulling the grass just now. The ground here was very different from the outside world, and was very tough. Even after pulling up the grass, it could only bring down a few grains of dirt.

Weng! * With a light shake of his arm, a Qian Yuan sword appeared from within his body, and appeared in front of Ye Xiao.

"Hurry, here, my grandpa does not have much energy left, I estimate that I will not be able to control the Qian Yuan sword for long!" The Sword Spirit urged.

Holding the sword in his hand, Ye Xiao quickly dug downwards. Although the ground was hard, with the sharpness of the Qian Yuan sword, it was naturally easy.

However, even so, digging more than three meters still took Ye Xiao nearly four hours.

"Still not here?" Ye Xiao gasped for breath as he asked, at that moment his arms were as heavy as lead.

"They should be here soon. This layer of earth can block my detection, but I don't know how far they are." The Sword Spirit's voice carried a little bit of excitement.

"You can investigate?" Ye Xiao asked in surprise. Only then did he remember, if he could not investigate, how could the Sword Spirit have discovered the body previously?

"I can, but the pressure is also very strong. I can only detect movements in the circumference of several miles." The Sword Spirit said.

Ye Xiao nodded his head. Suddenly, he felt the Qian Yuan sword that was stabbed into the ground sink down abruptly.

At the same time, the Sword Spirit shouted excitedly: "Be careful, we're almost there."

Following that, under the guidance of the Sword Spirit, Ye Xiao cleared away the layer of soil bit by bit. A small pond appeared in Ye Xiao's line of sight as the layer of dirt disappeared.
