The Return of Cambrian Period Volume 1 Chapter 13 10 Jan 07, 2020

Cheng Tianbi frowned.

"What kind of core?"

Cong Xia shook his head and said.

"I don't know, this ancient jade mentioned a lot of things about energy. The energy revolves around the five elements. Wind belongs to the element Wood. You evolved the wind energy, so there must be element Wood in your body. If you can sense the so-called 'core', then this ancient jade can help us."

Cheng Tianbi looked at the jade suspiciously. He did as Cong Xia said, he closed his eyes and breathed slowly.

"Adjust the breathing frequency, the slower the better, and then try to find the wind energy in your body, follow that energy and observe the way it circulates in your body, just like the heart supports the blood circulation, you may also have something like that inside your body to support the cycle of energy."

Cheng Tianbi calmed down, adjusted his breathing frequency and in an attempt to feel the changes in his body in his consciousness.

There was indeed an extra source of energy in his body, which was the source of his wind power. Moreover, this energy was very weak. If he threw a punch, it would exhaust instantly. If this energy could be enhanced through training, it would be a very powerful power!

In the dark place, there was no sound except the breathing sound of the two men and the cricking sound of the insects.

Neither of them spoke, Cong Xia was waiting. Cheng Tianbi tried to sense the source of that energy over and over again.

No one knew how long had passed, Cheng Tianbi suddenly felt a strong wave of energy at his energy center. He focused all of his attention to that place. Gradually, he "saw" a green sphere appeared there, the volume of the sphere was very small and there was a cloud of green mist rotating around it. It looked muddy at the first glance. A small amount of green energy flowed from his green sphere to his body.

Is this the energy core?!!

Cheng Tianbi opened his eyes. Cong Xia quickly shouted.

"Did you feel anything?"

"Not sure, but I "saw" the spot where the energy gathered together and then flowed out, maybe it's the energy core that you have said."

Cong Xia excitedly said.

"It's very possible! I have read relevant papers on the research about the 5 elements and it said that everything in the world was composed of the 5 elements. The human body is no exception. Every cell and every hair of the human body contains one or more of the 5 elements. When a particular element of the five elements in the human body is strong, his attributes would incline towards that element, but the gap between each element would not be too large, otherwise the balance of the human body would be broken, causing death. But those papers also made assumptions that if a person's five elements were seriously imbalanced but he was not dead, it was very likely to create a superhuman, because when one of the five elements was exuberant to a certain level, the human body could sense that element in nature and control that energy. The things mentioned in this ancient jade enlightened me. Without it, I wouldn't have associated your evolution with this aspect."

"You mean, the direction of my evolution is to control the natural force of wind?"

Cong Xia nodded and said excitedly.

"Is this the evolution of human beings? If a lot of humans can gradually evolve these powerful abilities, then we can maintain the continuity of our race in the apocalypse."

Cheng Tianbi said.

"If this idea is correct, then maybe humans can evolve to control the energy of the five elements and the derived energy of the five elements."

"That's right. I really want to see how many more of such evolved humans there are."

Cong Xia's eyes sparked brightly. Cheng Tianbi thought for a while and said.

"You told me about a strong woman before, what kind of elements that she evolved?

Cong Xia paused.

"When she pushed away the man, there was no obvious use of energy. At least in your case... You could still see the wind. She simply made the impression that she was very strong, but that's about it."

Cheng Tianbi said.

"Let's assume that she did not evolve any kind of energy, then the direction of human evolution is not just towards the five elements."

Cong Xia nodded.

"It is very likely. Only by getting out of here that we can confirm it."

He seemed to see the hope for human beings in an instant. From what he had seen and heard in the past two days, the evolution of animals, plants and microorganisms was very common while human beings, as a kind of animals, had a very low probability to evolve. This once caused Cong Xia to worry that human beings would become a group that was at disadvantage, but the evolution of Cheng Tianbi and the emergence of ancient jade were turns for the better.

Even if the probability of human evolution was low, Cong Xia could still see a glimmer of light. Cheng Tianbi said.

"You said that the ancient jade mentioned the method of energy enhancing."

"Yes, I should sort it out... Hey, my laptop was in the bag with the food, it's gone now."

Cong Xia suddenly felt very dispirited.

"There were so many things of mine in that laptop."

Both of his parents were scientists. Influenced by his parents, Cong Xia was particularly interested in a lot of things and was willing to devote himself to research. His research on various interesting things for more than ten years was all in that laptop. The design plans, the materials, the programs, all of them were his spiritual nourishment. Now they were all gone. Just the thought of it had already pained him greatly. Cheng Tianbi said.

"Get out of here first, we talk later."

The two men rested for quite a while. Moreover, also they filled their stomachs, so their physical strength recovered quite well. They carried their bags and moved forward.

After walking intermittently for four hours, the two men realized that the worms they had eaten before had become at least twice the size and often ran into their feet. If they didn't get out of here, the worms would become the ones which ate them.

They walked for another seven hours. It was the second day that they fell into this sewage pipe. When Cong Xia almost collapsed, they finally saw something that made them overjoyed - the light.

"It's light, there's light!"

Cong Xia happily rushed towards. Cheng Tianbi pulled Cong Xia back and heavily said.

"Don't just run around."

Cong Xia smiled in embarrassment and obediently followed him. The closer you were to victory, the more you needed to be cautious. Although there was not a single second that they didn't think about leaving this place, they couldn't imagine what the outside world would look like after two days. Was it certainly safe to go out?

Based on what he had speculated, Yunnan would become chaotic like Golmud within three to five days after the earthquake. Now that three days had passed since the earthquake occurred, he couldn't imagine what kind of world he would face.

The two men walked slowly. The exit was blocked by the weeds that were more than 2 meters tall. The sunlight leaked through the gaps between the vegetation. The sparse sunlight looked extremely near and dear.

The two of them separated the bushes and walked out. Cong Xia desperately breathed in the fresh air. He was so emotional that he almost cried.

There was also a rare relaxed expression on Cheng Tianbi's face.

Cong Xia laid on the ground and shouted.

"We are out!"

After walking for two days and nights in that dark tunnel, they were finally out!

Cheng Tianbi watched Cong Xia excitedly rolling twice on the ground. He then sat down on the ground, planning to rest for a while.

Cong Xia quickly crawled next to him and said happily.

"If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be able to get out. Let's find something normal to eat, and also water."

Cheng Tianbi said.

"Yeah. Let's rest for a while."

Cong Xia was very tired right now, but he was also very excited. He looked slightly greedily at this sunny world. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon Cheng Tianbi's feet.

The light in the tunnel was too dim, so he had not paid any attention to Cheng Tianbi's feet. The white socks had long been so dirty that their original color could not be made out, they were also stained with blood.

Cong Xia's heart pounded rapidly, he rushed over and raised Cheng Tianbi's foot up, quickly shouted.

"Why don't you tell me anything when your feet are like this?"

Cheng Tianbi disapproved and wanted to withdraw his foot. Cong Xia hugged his calf and wanted to take off his socks. Cheng Tianbi said.

"Don't touch. They have already stuck to the feet. Find the water first."

Cong Xia turned his head and looked at him with red eyes. He was moved, he also felt guilty.

He should have been the one who got the soles of his feet bled because of the stones and sharp objects, but Cheng Tianbi gave him his boots and walked barefoot for more than ten hours without even saying a word.

Cheng Tianbi looked at Cong Xia's expression that was full of guilt. For some reason, he felt rather uneasy. He said.

"It's okay."

This injury was insignificant compared to the training and the missions that he had undergone in the past. At first, he did not care at all. However, when he saw Cong Xia's expression, he unnecessarily explained one sentence extra.

Cong Xia took off the boots from his feet and wanted to put them on Cheng Tianbi. Cheng Tianbi pulled his legs back.

"It's not necessary, you wear them."

Cong Xia refused no matter what. He put the boots on Cheng Tianbi and then said firmly.

"Let's go find some hot water, medicine to treat wounds and food."

Cheng Tianbi looked at him for a while and said.

"You've become tougher than when I first saw you."

Cong Xia rubbed his eyes.

"I can't be your burden anymore. Even if I can't protect you, I want to assist you. Mr. Soldier, let's stay alive together."

Cheng Tianbi raised an eyebrow, showing a very faint smile.

"You just need to listen to me. That should be enough."

Cong Xia opened his eyes widely.

"Mr. Soldier, did you smile just now? Please smile again and let me see."

Cheng Tianbi pushed his face away and stood up.

"Mr. Soldier, did you just smiled?"

"Be quiet."

"Mr. Soldier, can I call you by your name? Can I call you Tianbi? Can I?"

Cong Xia followed right behind him and kept asking insistently.

"If you don't say anything, then I'll call you... Tianbi?"

"Tianbi, slow down. Don't you feel your feet hurt? Slow down, we have already delayed for two days. There's no need to rush now."

"Tianbi ..."
