Chapter 1071 - 1071 1058 I Want to Swallow You

Chapter 1071: Chapter 1058: I Want to Swallow You Chapter 1071: Chapter 1058: I Want to Swallow You Thin and sallow-faced farmers, carrying their farming tools, left the city in small groups and then headed to the fields outside the city to cultivate the land. They were low-status farmers, the lowest in social standing, owning all their farmland outside the city.

The farmers who owned land within the city were high-status farmers; they only needed to worry about the weather and not about human disasters. Most of the time, this was the case, though sometimes there were exceptions.

Compared to the low-status farmers, the lives of high-status farmers were much better because their farming was safer and more stable, with fewer troubles.

Low-status farmers not only had to constantly worry about the weather but also about the impact of wars on their lives, and any negligence could cost them their lives.

This was a chaotic era of warring states, where the lives of commoners were as dispensable as grass, trampled at will, disregarded by others.

These lower-class people were as unnoticed as wild grass, yet like wild grass, regardless of how harsh the living conditions were, they could survive tenaciously.

“This year is really good, it’s been over half a year since any other nation’s army came attacking.”

“Yes, we should have a good harvest this year, and when winter comes, we would be able to suffer less from hunger.”

Despite their ragged clothes and malnourished bodies, these lowly farmers leaving the city to cultivate the fields bore smiles on their faces, happy for the peace during this period.

Although life was harsh and they often endured hunger annually, as the lowest class of citizens, what else could they do? They could only accept their fate and find joy amidst the hardships.

For example, now, this brief period of peace and good weather allowed them to smile genuinely.

But life was always filled with unexpected events—even without war and with favorable weather, disasters beyond anyone’s imagination could still occur.

“What is that? Is it going to rain?” asked a slightly younger farmer among the stream of lowly individuals stepping into the morning sun to reach the fields, pointing at the distant sky in surprise because he had never seen such a phenomenon in all his years of farming.

In the distance where the sky met the ground, a vast expanse of black was spreading rapidly, resembling thick rain clouds, but this black spread at a speed distinctly different from any rain clouds these farmers remembered.

“It doesn’t look like rain clouds; rain clouds don’t move that fast, and I don’t feel much wind in the sky either,” said an older farmer because the young man’s shout drew many to look towards the horizon where the black mass was swiftly engulfing everything.

However, it didn’t take long for these farmers to sense danger as this spreading blackness drew nearer, realizing it wasn’t clouds floating in the sky but a thick Black Mist filling the space between the heavens and the earth. Wherever this Black Mist went, everything plunged into darkness, obscuring all visibility.

“Run.” Despite being commoners with limited experiences and not understanding what it was, as people barely surviving in these turbulent times, they had a unique sharpness in sensing danger, so under the lead of an old man, all the farmers carrying their tools headed back towards the city.

Sooner, this abnormal change in the distant sky had already alarmed the city’s soldiers, who, upon noticing the Black Mist in the sky, reported to the city’s ruler.

Quickly, the city’s lord and generals arrived above the city walls; their expressions grave as they watched the Black Mist approach from afar. They could not recognize what it was but were certain it boded ill.

“I feel a breath of death,” the city lord, standing on a stream of blue light and dressed lavishly, said solemnly.

“An ominous entity.” Next to the city lord, the general clad in armor scrutinized the Black Mist, his gaze incredibly cautious. Below him, the army began to assemble, marching in orderly steps onto the city wall.

“Attack!” When the Black Mist was less than a kilometer away from the city bracing for a great enemy, the general drew his sword from his waist and shouted loudly, as various luminous weapons and attacks were hurled towards the Black Mist.

As the capable force defending the city launched their attack on the Black Mist, it began to churn ominously, the deadly and ominous mist reacting as it came into contact with the city’s soldiers’ attacks.

However, these colorful attacks and weapons, upon entering the Black Mist, caused slight disturbances before silencing, and the Black Mist returned to calm.

The general, initially delighted to see their attacks affect the Black Mist, suddenly showed a look of shock and rage as he realized these attacks had virtually no effect, and the Black Mist had started to erode their city.

Seen from high above, an irregular mass of black was slowly engulfing the entire city, as if a ferocious, terrifying Demon was feeding on it.

Originally, the speed of the Black Mist’s descent from high above was extraordinarily slow, but as soon as it touched the city, its speed increased tenfold in a moment.

In just over ten breaths of time, the Black Mist had engulfed everything in the city. At that moment, one could see several glows, like fireflies, lighting up within the city shrouded in Black Mist.

But as time passed, the firefly-like glow gradually dimmed and eventually vanished, plunging everything into silence, including the Black Mist itself.

The Black Mist lingered above the city like a demon beast that had finished its hunt, lying quietly and digesting its prey.

After a long while, the Black Mist began to move slowly again, heading in an unknown direction, and after it left, the city it had engulfed was once again visible under the sky.

This city, once bustling with noises, was now deathly silent, and its walls were mottled as if they had experienced decades or centuries in just that brief period.

All the buildings within were in ruins, and the city was completely deserted. Throughout the city, one could see signs of collapsed houses.

These were the marks of a battle; one could imagine that after the city had been engulfed by the Black Mist, a fierce resistance had occurred, but it had been futile. The city still entered into silence.

…

“You promised to train me, but instead, you brought me here to have fun. Is this how you teach me?”

Muria looked at the burly man in front of him, who had mysteriously said he would take him to a fun place, and asked with an expressionless face.

“Kid, cut it out, tell me, what can I train you in and what can I teach you?” Even without showing his Awakened Form, the burly man still had an imposing figure over two meters tall, intimidating anyone who looked at him. At this moment, this burly man, staring with his large eyes like copper bells at Muria, who was not even as thick as his leg, asked somewhat depressingly.

“Or what do you want to learn from me?”

“There is nothing on you worth learning,” Muria pondered for a moment, then slowly said. Although this giant had made a grand entrance, his abilities, as far as Muria was concerned, were the least worth learning.

Because what he was good at overlapped with what Muria excelled in, which led to the burly man having the awkward impulse to ask Muria to become his mentor.

“Isn’t that the end of it?” Hearing Muria’s response, the burly man slapped the desk and winked at him, “Since there’s nothing good to learn, why waste our time training? We might as well have some fun and relax.”

“But that’s not the reason you brought me to this kind of place, I am still just a child.”

Muria looked around at the curvaceous, diverse women standing around them, facing the man who had brought him from the wilds to the city for pleasure.

“True,” hearing Muria’s words, the burly man scratched his bald head somewhat awkwardly, “Your way of speaking and acting is just too much like an adult’s. After being with you for so long, I unconsciously overlook your age, almost forgetting you’re still a little brat who hasn’t even grown hair yet.”

“I’ve noted that,” Muria’s expression darkened slightly, then he said emphatically.

“Noted what? Are you not enjoying now, planning to wait until you’re grown up and then have me treat you again?” The burly man asked in surprise.

Muria’s mouth twitched, realizing that talking about such things with this fool was futile. Besides, he hadn’t forgotten that his wife Michaela was also in this world, and if he dared to overstep the line, he couldn’t imagine what would happen.

“You can continue having fun here, I’m going to stroll around the city.” Muria stood up, leaving the place of revelry, intending to see the hardships of the people in this world, since this world was still in a primitive and feudal stage of productivity.

As for Muria’s departure, the burly man was not worried at all, he was now very clear about how strong Muria’s abilities were; in this city besides him, there was no one who could threaten his majesty’s life.

“What is that thing?” As soon as Muria arrived on the main street, he noticed that the city was in turmoil, which was rapidly spreading. The source of the unrest in the city was the black mist spreading from the far horizon.

“This thing? Why do I feel like I want to swallow it?” Muria muttered to himself, at this time, streams of black and red qi emanated from his body, swirling around him.
