All Heavens: I teach Pangu to create the world

Chapter 462: Coming Again, a Polluted World

Seven years.

Xiao Ran half-knelt on the ground, tending to the dark grass in the field.

After being here for so long, Xiao Ran has already figured out a little about the situation in this world.

The entire world was shrouded in darkness, with no sun, no moon, and even no stars. However, there was still a distinction between day and night. During the day, there was a faint light in the sky, which was barely enough to see the road in the wild. At night, there was no light at all.

All lighting comes from fire, or by catching fireflies that can glow in the dark, and a few plants that emit light.

The human eyes here have evolved and adapted to the dark environment.

Pollution has penetrated into every corner of the world, and even breathing can cause us to unknowingly ingest small amounts of pollution.

The dark grass planted by Xiao Ran is the most common food in the dark world. Every two months, small fruits the size of a fist will grow at the roots. They taste dry and astringent, difficult to swallow, and even contain a lot of pollution, but they are the food that most mortals rely on for survival.

Xiao Ran's mother passed away shortly after giving birth to him. His father went hunting in the mountains half a month ago and never returned.

He was the only one left at home.

"Alas, I wonder how Xu Yi is doing?"

Since Xiao Ran entered this world, there has been no movement in the method of communication.

"The Samsara world has been polluted to this extent. I'm afraid Senior Ye Xuan's situation is not optimistic. Moreover, the monitors of this Samsara world are even more powerful. I'm afraid Xu Yi doesn't even have the strength to overturn the table."

Xiao Ran sighed. This was not his first reincarnation.

When his biological mother in this life was about to die of illness, he was killed immediately when he showed a little bit of his cultivator skills.

The fear that the black eyes brought to him at that time was even greater than the first time he saw the primordial goddess.

So, for the past seven years, Xiao Ran has been law-abiding and living like an ordinary person, just doing some physical exercise.

But due to lack of food, his body was still very thin, and because he had been eating dark grass, the pollution in his body was accumulating rapidly, dragging down his body.

The village where Xiao Ran lives is Shuangmu Village, an inconspicuous small village in the mountains in this dark world.

There are no practitioners nearby, and even warriors are legendary.

For many years, almost no one has left this village, and marriages are arranged among several nearby villages.

If this continues, he will have to spend his short life here.

Fortunately, a caravan suddenly arrived at Shuangmu Village.

Shuangmu Village is located in a remote area and no caravan has visited for many years, so when the caravan entered the village, the entire village went to join in the fun.

"Uncle Mu, is this the caravan?"

It was dark at this time, but there was light in the caravan, allowing Xiao Ran to see the situation of the caravan clearly.

However, the caravan in front of him was not the same as what Xiao Ran had heard. There were less than ten animals and very little cargo. Almost all of the more than twenty people were injured and looked like they had been killed.

"Yes, I heard they came from the east. They started out with over fifty people, but they encountered a black beast and lost half of their men, and even most of their cargo."

Uncle Mu showed a look of regret on his face. He had wanted to use his savings to exchange for some food from the caravan, but he didn't expect that the caravan didn't have enough food of their own and had to buy from them.

Xiao Ran nodded and looked towards the fire in the caravan.

The firelight was not actually fire, but a lantern with several fireflies in it. The light emitted by one firefly was enough to match that of hundreds of fireflies.

An old man sat beside the lantern, his eyes closed in meditation, with no intention of greeting the villagers. The old man's face was almost without any black spots, completely different from the old people in the village. The people in the caravan looked at the old man with a hint of awe.

"Musha!"

At this time, Uncle Mu's son came over and said excitedly. He pointed at the old man next to the lantern and spoke in a low voice.

"That old man is a warrior!"

"Musha?"

Uncle Mu's face changed, he knocked his son's hand away, and then growled.

"You're asking for your life! How dare you point at the warrior master like that!"

Then he took his son and left quickly.

Musha?

Xiao Ran looked at the old man twice. There was not even a single warrior near Shuangmu Village, but they had heard many legends about warriors.

The most common case was that a warrior killed an entire family over a disagreement, which was very cruel, so Uncle Mu hurriedly took his son home.

"It seems I am indeed in a very remote place!"

Xiao Ran sighed in his heart. The name of warrior was far away from him. He had not heard this name for a long time.

There were also people in the universe who practiced martial arts, but in the end they all ended up on the same path, the path of the law.

But now this caravan was Xiao Ran's chance to leave the village. He went forward to find out some information and happened to hear the leader of the caravan talking to the village chief.

"You're going to recruit guards in the village?"

The village chief frowned and glanced at their few remaining goods. Was it worth recruiting more guards with just these goods?

"Don't worry, Village Chief. We just lost some goods on the way, but we have stored a lot of goods in Moyu City."

The team leader understood what the village chief meant and explained.

"Then let's go to Mo Yu City to recruit guards. How many people can we recruit from our small village?"

The village chief frowned. Labor in the village was at a premium; farming and hunting required strong laborers. Furthermore, there were practically no idle men in the village. He simply couldn't meet the leader's request for ten guards.

"Can you see me?"

Xiao Ran listened for a while, then walked up and said, seeing the team leader frown, he quickly explained.

"Most of the young men of marriageable age in the village are already married, so you can't recruit anyone. My parents are both dead, so I don't have any ties in the village. Being a guard only requires food, not money."

The team leader's brows were still furrowed. Although Xiao Ran in front of him looked taller than his peers, he was still too young.

The youngest member of the caravan guards was twelve years old, so Xiao Ran definitely looked under ten.

"Don't underestimate him because he's young. He's more capable than some fifteen or sixteen-year-olds! He's also very smart."

The village chief glanced at Xiao Ran and began to speak well of him. Although he really wanted Xiao Ran to stay, the leader's offer was too much.

"alright."

The team leader reached out and felt Xiao Ran's bones, then reluctantly agreed. It wouldn't cost much anyway, and since he was young and couldn't run fast, he could be used as cannon fodder to attract the monsters' attention if danger arose.

With the help of the team leader, they reluctantly recruited two more people in the village, bought some supplies, and left.

Xiao Ran walked in the middle of the team and happened to be close to the old warrior.

The old warrior opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Ran, then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he reached out and clamped Xiao Ran's arms.
