C1 The Night of the Great Wilderness
Don't go out in the middle of the night!
It has been passed down since ancient times. It was a saying that had been passed down since ancient times. It contained the true meaning of life.
Especially in the uninhabited region in the depths of the Wasteland, all kinds of strange and dangerous appearances had never been completely exposed.
"The sky and the moon lost their color, the stars lost their luster, it's bad! Those damn things have all come out!"
Cripple Zhang could not help but feel nervous when he saw the sunset in the sky disappear and the vast wilderness gradually being engulfed by darkness.
This was a broken hut. It stood tall. It appeared exceptionally tiny in the uninhabited region.
"The seal is loosening. If it doesn't work, we have to reinforce the seal. Otherwise, if those ghost things break out, the entire Heavenly Desolate World will be flooded with blood!"
"Blind Qin, are you seeking death when you go out at night?"
The old woman, Zhou Erzi, bent her body. At this moment, she was excited.
"It's okay. I have a Stone Immortal pillar on my back. I will be fine for a while."
Around the house, there were nine dark green stone pillars. They were emitting a faint glow in the dark night.
The shabby cottage and even the village behind the cottage were protected by the light of the nine stone pillars.
Blind Qin, who was blind, was exceptionally vigorous. He carried the thousand jin stone pillars and walked out of the shabby hut.
In the next moment, the sound of wailing and howling came from the darkness, making one's hair stand on end.
"I seem to have heard the crying of a baby in the uninhabited region."
Zhou Erzi frowned slightly, but his deaf ears were sharper than ordinary people's.
"How could there be a baby in the uninhabited region? Old hag, you must have heard wrong!"
Cripple Zhang shook his head and said.
Impossible! There is definitely a baby crying. I will go and take a look!"
As Zhou Erzi spoke, he mimicked Blind Qin's actions and tried to block the stone pillars around him.
If one entered the vast wilderness late at night without the protection of the stone pillars, they would definitely die.
"Let me do it. I need to move faster. The stone pillars must not have any accidents. Otherwise, with just the three of us, who are half crippled, guarding the last village, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the Sand Mound Great Abyss."
Cripple Zhang moved as fast as lightning. He carried a stone pillar on his back and limped out of the broken house with Zhou Erzi.
Three people who were crippled, deaf, and blind could survive in the uninhabited area of the Dark Night Great Wilderness.
If outsiders found out, who knows how many jaws would fall off.
Not far from the broken house was a sand hill. A small river flowed quietly in the dark night.
Under the light of the stone pillars, the unknown creatures hidden in the darkness did not dare to approach.
However, there were constant creaking sounds.
Cripple Zhang, Zhou Erzi, walked along the river for hundreds of meters but still did not find anything.
"We can't drag this on any longer. The three of us are not here. If something touches the village, it will be over!"
Cripple Zhang said in a deep voice, but he did not find it difficult to carry the stone pillar on his back.
He only looked at the wriggling darkness around him, full of fear.
"It's fine. Stone Immortal will attack at the critical moment. The crying of the child is getting clearer and clearer. It's just ahead!" Zhou Erzi did not want to give up.
Cripple Zhang sighed and did not say anything else.
The two of them walked along the river for a few thousand meters.
A light finally entered Cripple Zhang and Zhou Erzi's eyes.
At the riverside, a crying baby was lying in a wooden basin.
The baby was covered in blood and his face was pale, if not for a shining stone in his arms.
I'm afraid it's been swallowed up by the darkness!
"There really is a baby!" Cripple Zhang looked at the baby. A brand had appeared at the center of his brows at some point, and it was glowing slightly.
"It's a boy. He seems to be seriously injured." Zhou Erzi picked up the wooden basin from the river and noticed the mark on Cripple Zhang's forehead.
"Ya! How did your ancestral blood mark come back to life? Could it be that this baby boy has the bloodline of your Zhang family?"
Awoo! Awoo! "
In the darkness not far away, a terrifying roar shook the sky.
A large amount of black fog surged. Even the stone pillar behind Cripple Zhang was trembling. It was difficult for the light to calm down.
"Let's go!"
Cripple Zhang's expression changed. He did not have time to study the reason why the mark appeared on his forehead.
Zhou Erzi carried the wooden basin. The two of them quickly passed through the darkness and returned to the broken house.
"Hu!" After closing the wooden door, Cripple Zhang inserted the stone pillar behind him back into its original position. The two of them finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"The little guy actually fell asleep. It seems like we are fated to meet."
A kind smile appeared on Zhou Erzi's face. The crying baby was sleeping soundly in her arms.
"He has the bloodline of the Zhang family, and it seems like his bloodline has returned to its roots. Could he be a branch of the Zhang family from the outside world of the uninhabited region?"
Cripple Zhang sized up the baby boy. The mark on his forehead had disappeared.
"Ahem... What happened? Where did the baby come from?"
At this moment, the door to the broken house was pushed open. Blind Qin walked in with the stone pillar on his back.
Although he was blind, Blind Qin still saw the baby boy.
"I picked him up. He probably came from the outside world." Zhou Erzi replied.
"Blind man, come and take a look. Something doesn't seem right about him."
Cripple Zhang frowned.
However, his words made people speechless. If they did not know the situation, they would think that Cripple Zhang was mocking Blind Qin.
"Eh? This baby has the bloodline of the Zhang Family, and he has the innate supreme spirit vein!"1
Blind Qin placed the stone pillar back to its original position. His eyes, which had no eyeballs, shone brightly. Dense specks of light pierced through the baby's body.
"It's a pity that the supreme spirit vein was stripped away for some unknown reason. It's already a miracle that he survived until now."
After a moment, Blind Qin shook his head and said with a sigh.
Spirit veins were the foundation of cultivation. Those without spirit veins were mortals.
The better the spirit vein was, the higher one's talent. A supreme spirit vein that could make Blind Qin show such an attitude was undoubtedly precious.
"How could this be? This was originally a natural born supreme being!"
Zhou Erzi hugged the baby boy, his face carrying a look of pity.
What happened to the Zhang Clan in the outside world? Can't even a natural born supreme being protect them?! "
Cripple Zhang was even more furious. He stomped his foot on the ground. The terrifying power shook the earth.
"Maybe there is a way."
After a moment, Cripple Zhang calmed down and looked into the depths of the broken house.
"That's right! If Stone Immortal makes a move, there should be a chance for him to survive."
"But... will Stone Immortal attack?"
In the end, the baby boy was placed in front of a cracked stone statue.
Although the stone statue was full of cracks, it emitted a charming light, but it could not distinguish between man and woman.
However, the aura of the stone pillars seemed to have something to do with the stone statue that Cripple Zhang and the other two called Stone Immortal.
"Stone Immortal has reacted! The child is saved!"
The stone statue finally had a reaction. A ray of light rushed into the baby boy's body.
The baby boy's life characteristics, which were originally weak, calmed down.
It was just that the stripped supreme being bloodline was already unable to recover.
A ray of light saved the male baby, and Stone Immortal no longer had any reaction.
The three of them held the baby boy and kowtowed three times and nine times to Stone Immortal before retreating. They returned to the door of the broken house.
"From now on, his name will be Zhang Fann. I hope he will have a chance to rise again in the future. Otherwise, it will be a blessing to be an ordinary mortal."
Cripple Zhang finally sighed and named the baby boy.
A natural born supreme being should have been dazzling for the rest of his life.
As for now, everything could only be decided by fate.
