I am cultivating and becoming a saint in a parallel world

The rain stopped.

The snakes also retreated.

The two men were covered in mud.

"How is it?" Wei Xuanshang pulled the knife up from the ground.

"It's... not bad."

"Are you hungry?"

"what?"

Wei Xuanshang motioned him to look to the side, where several snake corpses were lying scattered.

"There is meat to eat."

……

By the time the fire was rekindled, it was completely dark.

Wei Xuanshang cut the snake meat into pieces about the thickness of his palm, skewered them on branches and roasted them over the fire.

Not long after, a faint smell of meat wafted out.

Xiaodao also started to swallow involuntarily from his initial resistance.

The image of two embarrassed people sitting in a jungle in a ghost zone having a barbecue was displayed in real time on the most expensive advertising space in various urban areas of Tiancheng.

In the second city, there is a square with the largest flow of people.

A red-haired girl stopped in the crowd and her eyes fell on the largest floating screen.

"Little Seven?"

After the boy in front walked a few steps away, he realized that she had not followed him. He turned around and saw her staring at the screen.

The boy walked back to the girl with the girl's hair: "Are you also interested in this lucky couple?"

"Who are they?" the girl asked.

"These days are celebration days. The celebration ceremony is being held below. They are the lucky ones selected from a place called Ping An Township in the third district." The boy pointed to the lower right corner of the screen and said, "That is their name, one Called Xiaodao, the other is called Xuanniao."

"Xuanniao." The red-haired girl muttered the name in a low voice. Her eyes fell on Wei Xuanshang who was eating barbecue on the big screen. Some strange light emerged from his eyes as blue as the deep sea.

"Do you like them too?" The boy looked at the girl with doting eyes, "Want to place a bet? There's one not far ahead."

The red-haired girl shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, Brother Six."

"Let's go back."

"Okay." The boy rubbed the girl's soft hair, "Let's go."

The two of them continued walking, and from time to time they would hear passers-by discussing the two lucky people in the third district.

Black bird.

Why does it feel so familiar?

……

After repelling the snakes, before the two people's clothes were fully dried, another insect wave ushered in.

Xiaodao was pulled up by Wei Xuanshang in his sleep and ran away.

It wasn't until I jumped into the freezing cold water that I finally woke up.

"It hurts!" His face wrinkled up, "My neck..."

Wei Xuanshang grabbed his hand that was touching back and found a black insect bigger than his fist lying on his neck sucking blood.

"Ah it hurts!"

Wei Xuanshang grabbed the insect and tried to take it off, but found that its mouthparts were tightly sucking the flesh on the knife's neck.

She changed to holding the insect with her left hand and holding the knife in her right hand: "Lower your head, stand firm and don't move."

Xiaodao obeyed and did as he was told.

Wei Xuanshang pierced the black insect's body with a knife, and took it away from the knife's neck while it relaxed its mouthparts.

The two of them stayed in the water for more than ten minutes before the tide of insects on the shore slowly receded.

At this time, the knife was frozen, so Wei Xuanshang dragged him back to the shore.

Xiaodao lay trembling on the shore and felt a soft hand holding his ankle. He thought it was Wei Xuanshang, but when he turned around, Wei Xuanshang was sitting next to him to calm his breathing.

Whose hand is that?

"Ahhh!"

"catch!"

The knife was already submerged in the water below the waist. At this moment, all the intuition he had lost due to the cold seemed to come back, and he held on to Wei Xuanshang's hand tightly and refused to let go.

The hand just now was still holding his ankle, and a second one came.

"There's something... there's something scratching my foot."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xuanshang felt her ankle tighten, and her whole body was dragged towards the river.

The two men were dragged back into the water together.

After entering the water, those hands continued to drag them in, and soon they passed the position where they had just escaped from the insect tide and entered the deep water area.    …

"What's wrong!"

Late at night, Ermao, who was just about to fall asleep wrapped in a coat, was woken up by the exclamation next to him and suddenly turned over.

"They were dragged into the river by something." A voice came from the simple wooden bed next to them.

The second cat immediately raised his head and stared. After staring for a few seconds, he remembered that it was night and could lie down and watch, so he lay back down again.

The black dragonfly can also take clear pictures at night.

What was thrown into the sky above Ping'an Township was a calm river surface.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

"Wow!"

"It's out!" Ermao was as excited as a fish jumping onto dry land.

In the picture, Xiaodao swam to the shore with flapping hands and feet.

But Wei Xuanshang was not seen.

"Where is my sister Bird?"

After a few more seconds, let alone Wei Xuan Shang, there were no more bubbles on the river.

"No, this guy is here, where is my sister Bird?"

Ermao was anxious.

An idea appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.

"Teacher..." Lao Shi, who was standing by the fire, silently clenched the fire stick in his hand.

You must be fine.

Time seemed to be suddenly magnified countless times. For some people under the light curtain, every second passed very long.

As time went on, the dark river became calmer and calmer, as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Dao lay down by the river and shouted, but no one gave him any response.

For a minute, everyone was expecting Wei Xuanshang to suddenly emerge from the water like a knife.

At two minutes, a few people started to give up.

At three minutes, people began to expect a miracle.

……

Ten minutes passed.

Ermao's tears began to fall.

"grass."

He lowered his head and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

But the tears can never be wiped away.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!"

"Damn it, if it wasn't for protecting that little cub, Sister Bird wouldn't have been dragged in by the monster."

"It's just fucked."

"She is so powerful, I thought... she might survive to the end and become the first lucky person to come out of the ghost zone in Ping An Township."

"The result..." He cried so hard, "The result..."

"I'm so fucking fucked!"

The fat man also lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed. Looking at the light curtain where only the knife was crying loudly, he fell into silence.

The man in the aircraft yawned sleepily: "Things always develop in unexpected directions."

"But don't be sad, everyone. The souls of the deceased have been freed from all pain and gone to the paradise world where there is only happiness."

"She is a brave girl, let us pray for her together."

"boom!"

The calm water surface suddenly exploded with a water column of more than ten meters high. Before the thunderous noise could fall, the screen went black.

"..."

"what happened?"

"What was that sound just now?"

"Is there a very powerful monster coming?"

Even an old man who has gone through dozens of celebrations has never experienced such a situation where the screen suddenly goes black.

Under the night sky, almost everyone in Ping An Township stood up from the ground.
