fifth form

Chapter 3000 As long as you can breathe, you won't starve.

The No. 2 sinkhole has actually formed a very special secret place.

The Emperor and Zhang Xuezhou discussed the factors involved in this secret place and briefly introduced its components, but they could not freely enter and exit.

It took Zhang Xuezhou a day and a half to walk out of the secret place, but it took him nearly five days to re-enter it from Beirehe.

The uncontrollable nature of his 'fast and slow' abilities made it extremely difficult for him to enter and leave this area.

If he hadn't entered the Realm of Solitary Being in another world and gained some awareness, thus enhancing his control over 'fast and slow', Zhang Xuezhou felt that everyone would have been wiped out.

"I have a feeling we're doomed?"

Zhou Rihui, whose face had turned purple from eating grass, smacked his lips. He was one of the more lucid members among them and did not gulp down the food, but instead took small bites to replenish his body's nutrients.

The good thing is that we finally received food and medical subsidies, but the bad thing is that the duration of these subsidies is hard to predict, and Zhang Xuezhou also suffers from vegetative state symptoms, so everyone will inevitably continue to go hungry.

Although everyone had experienced many hardships in Qinmeng, their lives had never been as miserable as they are now.

“Either we need to find that staff, or we can only wait for Xue Zhou to enter the ninth sequence and completely master the domain ability,” Ren Anran said.

“I’m looking for a staff,” Nagos sighed.

"Finding the staff is definitely more reliable!"

Montespatton nodded in agreement, acknowledging that the former option was more reliable.

As the only current holder of the Ninth Sequence, Montesbatton is well aware of the high difficulty of the Ninth Sequence.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou has somehow gained control, his sequence has not actually reached the seventh sequence, while the other party still has weak genes.

Considering all the factors involved, Montespatton felt that the latter's chances of success were almost zero.

Of course, Montespatton does not deny that Zhang Xuezhou may achieve sequential ascent in the future, but Montespatton feels that the public absolutely cannot wait that long.

He glanced at the others who had received food, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Li Qi? Li Qi? Wake up!"

What's your opinion, Lao Ren?

"Qin Zhong, take it easy on your food. You have a long life ahead of you!"

"Yinghao, what should we do?"

"I have no idea!"

……

The morale of the people in the Red Alliance was extremely low.

For modern society, which has achieved genetic modification of crops, hunger is a thing of the past, and people who have grown up in luxury have never experienced the kind of hunger that makes it difficult to even breathe while lying on the ground.

What is Xuezhou's opinion?

Perhaps influenced by the spiritual impact of the extraterrestrial demons, or perhaps by the great changes in the world of the No. 2 sinkhole, or perhaps by the mental confusion caused by hunger, Ren Yisheng's mental state was somewhat poor.

It wasn't until he was given a high concentration of nutrient solution that Ren Yisheng's mental state returned to normal, and he asked Zhang Xuezhou for his opinion.

“Although there is a lot of bad news right now, there is also some good news to tell you all,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “The factors that have changed this area are unknown, but spiritual energy has indeed appeared here. This is the power of the Qin Meng Secret Stone that Lord Barton used to reach the Ninth Sequence. This power can heal your injuries without any repercussions and also allow you to absorb the energy to maintain your minimum life force!”

"What do you mean? Inhaling makes you feel full?" Zhou Rihui interrupted, puzzled.

"That's roughly the idea," Zhang Xuezhou said. "As long as you can still breathe, you won't starve!"

"If he's still breathing, he's definitely not completely dead. Even a child understands that!"

Zhang Xuezhou was telling the truth. Even without practicing the art of fasting, living in a place rich in spiritual energy can passively give one a similar effect.

It's unlikely that he'll be able to jump around energetically, but eating and drinking a little to prolong his life is no problem at all.

The reason Li Qi and the others were in such terrible condition was because they had created the Black Stone Altar, which nearly led to their starvation. If they could maintain low energy consumption, they could survive in this place for a very long time.

In reality, the compressed food they carried was far from enough to last so long; they had run out of food several days ago, but the fact that no one had starved to death was proof of that.

Zhang Xuezhou's good news brought both joy and sorrow to many, and also sparked a series of criticisms.

"Zhang boy, are you sure the conditions here are similar to those of the Qin Meng Secret Stone?" Qi Meng Haige asked seriously.

“You can try Lord Patton’s method and see if you can enter the Ninth Sequence,” Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

“This old guy said that he was able to achieve success by combining the thrill of life and death with the secret stone of Qin Meng,” Chimon Haig said. “I was starving and on the verge of death every day. If I had the spiritual energy you mentioned, that would be very close to Barton’s situation back then, wouldn’t it?”

"I feel it's very relatable!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, and Chimon Haig was immediately satisfied, no longer nagging or complaining. Nagos, on the other hand, remained silent with his face covered in burns from black ash.

"What did he say?" Ren Anran couldn't help but ask.

Ren Anran's "he" clearly refers to the Emperor, while Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.

He had said everything he needed to say, and the Emperor was helpless in this situation, only offering the Giant Tree's suggestion based on speculation.

"I'll go search that area of ​​the main hall high up there and see if I can find anything!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed towards the sky.

The Soul-Locking Pillar turned to ashes, but the direction of the high-altitude palace was not hard to find.

Unlike the distortion of the external space, the space from the Soul-Locking Pillar to the main hall was extremely stable, but Zhang Xuezhou did not dare to be careless. After all, the explosion originated from the main hall area, and he was mostly just checking the situation. The possibility of him taking action was relatively low.

“You can use your Yang Soul to travel around. When you discover any new situations, go out and communicate with him to see if he has anything else to add,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

Compared to Zhang Xuezhou's somewhat unstable control over 'fast and slow', Ren Anran's Yang Soul's ability to traverse distorted space is not particularly difficult. The drawback is that Ren Anran's Yang Soul is formless and cannot carry physical objects in or out; it can only engage in cognitive communication.

"That's all!"

Ren Anran nodded.

No different from the others, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and she no longer thought about returning to Beirehe.

Although this place was no different from imprisonment, Ren Anran had to admit that the current outcome far exceeded her expectations. No matter what their fate was, at least they didn't die.

All calculations, thoughts, and grudges must be put aside; it seems there's no longer any way for people to hold grudges against each other.

Zhang Xuezhou was a bit too hasty in coordinating everyone to enter the No. 2 sinkhole, and he forgot Zhu Bufan, Zhao Tianhua and others. At present, the situation is not too bad. These people can at least keep the Red Alliance in check, so that they are not leaderless like the Omega Alliance and the British Alliance.

The two communicated in whispers. After eating and replenishing her nutrition, Ren Anran had more strength and was able to accompany Zhang Xuezhou to explore the surrounding area.

"He's actually quite envious of this place; he wishes he could jump right in here!"

"Oh?"

"He said this is a chaotic microcosm created at the beginning of time, a world that not only constantly generates spiritual energy but also contains chaotic energy!"

"What are the benefits of chaotic energy?"

"The chaotic aura is the original, rudimentary form of spiritual energy. Some who obtain it experience physical expansion and enlargement, some experience a significant increase in strength, and some transform the mundane into a treasure. The mysteries within it are far more profound than those of spiritual energy!"

"It doesn't sound like a perfect 'good'!"

"This kind of spiritual energy containing impurities has some potential problems!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran whispered among themselves as they wandered around. Several sharp-eared people listened for a while and were able to rouse their still-weak bodies.

The group had searched before, but the world was changing rapidly, with something different almost every day.

The concepts of spiritual energy and chaotic energy are difficult to understand, but as long as they are regarded as benefits that can be obtained, like Ren Anran, everyone can deeply understand them and will search for them in the same way.
