The Three Spirit Stones

Chapter 21 Time and Space Tunnel

In the pitch black night, the eye of the storm had opened up a pitch black hole. Only Cheng Yu could see it. Ah Cai could only see darkness everywhere.

"Caibao, we are going in now,"

You could tell he was very nervous at the moment. He took a deep breath, then took a few dozen steps back to run, then leaped into the black hole.

As soon as he jumped in, he immediately felt a powerful force pulling them into an abyss.

He immediately released ten times more Yuanling Zhenqi than before to counter this force.

After a while, they finally stopped. As if they were in outer space, the two of them were suspended in the air, and it was pitch black under their feet and they couldn't see the bottom at all.

Cheng Yu's eyes turned snow-white at this time. He clearly saw that this was not a passage, but a vast expanse of land as vast as space.

The difference is that there are stars in space, but here it is pitch black and there is nothing.

At this time, he took out a jade box from his backpack, opened the lid and took out a furry little animal from it.

This strange-looking little animal is about the size of a newly hatched chick and looks like a large firefly.

He bit his finger and dripped a few drops of blood into the animal's mouth. The little guy, who was sleepy just now, immediately became energetic, and his tail even glowed.

It squeaked a few times, and Cheng Yu threw it into the depths of space. From a distance, the little guy actually flapped its wings and flew away.

Cheng Yu immediately urged the inner energy in his body to follow closely behind it.

This little guy was flying and circling around. It looked small, but it flew quite fast. If it weren't for the light on its tail, it would be very easy to lose track of it.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, they spotted a tiny bit of light in the distance. Cheng Yu was overjoyed and said to Ah Cai, “That’s the exit.”

He urged his true energy to rush towards the light. The exit was getting closer and closer, and he could see it more and more clearly.

He suddenly said nervously, "Oh no, the exit is starting to shrink."

This is incredible!

If the exit is closed, they will be trapped inside and have to wait a thousand years to get out. That would be too late!

Cheng Yu released all the spiritual energy in his body and ran towards the exit with all his strength.

His speed was as fast as a meteor. Ah Cai gritted his teeth behind his back and clutched his clothes tightly with both hands. Even with the protection of his true energy, he still felt very uncomfortable.

At the last moment, when the exit was closed, the two rushed out with a "whoosh" sound, and fell on the snowy mountain outside like meteorites from outer space.

“Boom boom boom…,”

The huge impact force knocked down all the snow on the mountain, and an avalanche immediately formed here. The snow rushed down the mountain like a mighty army.

The two of them rolled down in the snow like a ball, and after rolling for a long time, they finally stopped.

Fortunately, Cheng Yu's inner spiritual energy was strong enough to protect the two of them like a shield. Otherwise, even if he was fine, Ah Cai would be torn into pieces.

He stood up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, said to himself that it was a close call, and quickly asked Ah Cai how she felt.

Ah Cai was so dizzy that she couldn't even speak. She just felt that the scenery around her was shaking, which was extremely uncomfortable!

Cheng Yu quickly grabbed her hands, and immediately a sense of clarity flowed from his palms into her whole body, and she finally came to her senses.

After a while, he was still shocked and said,

"How terrible!"

"I'm fine now, but I still feel a little dizzy."

"It's good that you're okay. You won't feel dizzy after a rest."

After saying that, they looked up at the sky. It was all blue, without any trace of the time tunnel.

The place where they landed was a large protruding rock. Although it was covered with ice and snow, there were still some traces of plants under the snow, and the magnetic field was normal.

First we had to put Ah Cai down. Her legs were almost numb and she couldn't even stand steadily. She was in so much pain that she kept yelling and screaming.

Cheng Yu helped her push the uterus to let the blood flow out. After a while, she began to feel numb, which made her cry and laugh at the same time.

After struggling for a long time, she finally recovered and could stand up straight.

He picked her up and jumped to a place that was sheltered from the wind. There were some sparse dry trees there, which were just right for her to make fire and food.

After eating and drinking, he held her in his arms and put her to sleep. Before going to sleep, she asked about the strange bird.

Cheng Yu said that it was called the Firefly Bird, a rare and ancient creature that hibernates all year round and will only wake up after drinking human blood.

The firefly has a characteristic that once it wakes up, no matter what strange environment it is in, it will immediately find a safe place to hibernate. This spiritual creature is not harmed or disturbed by magnetic fields, and even if it is in a time tunnel, it can fly out.

He had accidentally found this a long time ago, and he had never expected it to be of great use now.

If they didn't find the exit in time, they might be trapped inside, and the exit would not open until a thousand years later.

Thinking back on it now, both of them felt a chill down their spines!

After a night's rest, both of them regained their energy. Cheng Yu still wanted to carry Ah Cai on his back. She was reluctant at first, saying that her legs were still numb. Later, he asked her if she could get down the steep slope. Only then did she agree to lie on his back.

After carrying her on his back, Cheng Yu jumped around in the mountains like a monkey. The mountain landscape here was a bit similar to and a bit different from the one before he came here. In fact, he couldn't tell whether he had returned to the Northern Song Dynasty, or maybe he had gone to another mountain range?

We will have to wait until we get to a populated area to find out everything.

After walking for seven or eight days, Ah Cai got angry.

She complained about the poor food. She ate the same thing every day: noodles, rice, or porridge, with some hard, fishy wild meat.

She now wants to eat stir-fried dishes, hot pot, crayfish, seafood, ice cream...

Cheng Yu was so angry that he laughed. Where did these things come from in the wilderness?

Then she said she wanted to go on a hunger strike, even though it had only been seven or eight hours since her last meal.

Alas! It’s all my fault!

A Cai is short and thin, with a baby face. She looks like she is fifteen or sixteen when she is in her twenties. Cheng Yu always thinks that she was malnourished because he did not know how to take care of her when she was a child. So he tried his best to make sure she eats well, but she didn't grow taller and her appetite became more and more picky.

"Can I make you some sweet potato soup?"

"Hmm??? Okay!"

When Ah Cai heard this, she immediately agreed.

She didn’t like to eat this sweet potato before, but now the environment is not good, so she is not picky.

Cheng Yu took out a sweet potato from the bottom of his bag, peeled half of it and made a small bowl of sweet soup for her. She took a bite, closed her eyes and said, "Wow!... This is such a delicious food!"

"Try it, it's delicious!"

She passed the spoon to Cheng Yu's mouth. He took a bite and said, "It still tastes the same. You only think it tastes good because you haven't eaten it for a long time."

"Yeah, I'll eat it tomorrow."

"That won't work. These are for growing food. If we can really go back, these can benefit the people. Do you know that there are still many people in my hometown who have no food to eat?"

"They have to go hungry all year round. Many people only eat coarse food every day. Having a full meal is a very happy thing for them."

"Sweet potatoes are drought-resistant and have a high yield. If they can be successfully planted, they can save many lives,"

"Oh!!!"

"I also brought tomato seeds, pepper seeds, potatoes, corn and other things. Once they are planted, I will make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and boiled fish for you. Honey, just bear with me for now!"
