Chapter 1 Pre:

In the year 2887, in the remote barren land of the human race, accompanied by a terrible shout, the peace of the night was broken... Qin Yu indifferently watched as a prison worker not far away fell to the ground, lifeless, and was dragged towards the unknown woodland a moment later.

Qin Yu, who was in rags, shook his head, and continued to wave his hoe, and the curses of the guards were heard from time to time, he had already become insensitive in such a day, quietly waiting for the end of his life to come, he knew that it was not far away.

Two years ago, the upright Qin Yu was a blacksmith in a remote town, and he inadvertently offended the powerful people in the town, so he ended up like this, and for two years, he lived a life of a prison worker in this barren land.

"Hurry up", Qin Yu, who was swinging his hoe mechanically, was startled by the sudden sound, he didn't dare to look back at the guards behind him who were waving whips at him, and hurriedly quickened the speed of his hand and started to work hard.

This is a remote mining area, most of these prison workers are ordinary people who have been exiled or imprisoned for life, anyone who has come here, has never been able to get out alive, thinking of this, Qin Yu's dark face is full of despair, and the movements of his hands have slowed down again, just being seen by the guards not far away.

With a "boom", the long whip arrived and whipped straight on Qin Yu's back, a bright red mark made Qin Yu almost lose his footing, Qin Yu hurriedly began to speed up again, and swung the hoe vigorously, which saved him from a beating.

"Be honest with Lao Tzu, or you will end up with him. The guard fiercely pointed with his whip at the forest where the body had been thrown. Qin Yu didn't even dare to come out, and hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Yes.Yes." Only then did the guards slowly walk away, Qin Yu wiped the beads of sweat on his face with the back of his hand, and he didn't dare to slack off at all this time.

At this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound in the woodland, it seemed that several guards were arguing about something, and a few minutes later, a guard ran out of the woodland and walked directly in the direction of Qin Yu. When Qin Yu saw it, he began to panic in his heart, not knowing what the guards were looking for him.

"You, don't look at it, it's you." The guard who stopped not far away pointed at Qin Yu and said, Qin Yu looked at the guard nervously, only to see the man wave his hand, point to Lin and say, "Follow me." The unquestionable attitude made Qin Yu have to start moving his steps and keep up.

He knew very well that there were two roads in the woodland, one of the main roads led to the cave where the abandoned bodies were thrown, and the other path he only knew led to another excavation point, but no one knew what to dig, and few miners could enter it unless they went sideways.

Qin Yu thought as he walked, and before he knew it, he reached the fork, Qin Yu looked at the guards, and saw that he didn't stop at all, and walked straight towards the path, Qin Yu eased up, but immediately he began to worry about what he was going to dig again, after all, in this precarious day, he was like a frightened bird, and a small commotion could make him raise his heart to his throat.

Ten minutes later, Qin Yu felt that it was almost time to arrive, because he had already seen five or six figures at the end of the path from a distance, forming a circle, discussing something. When the two approached, they stopped, and one of them walked out and said to Qin Yu, "There's something down there, dig him up." Qin Yu looked at the place he pointed, there was a big pit with a diameter of about ten meters, and some soil had been dug down in the center of the pit, as if something was about to be dug up. Then he looked up at this guard, and the conspicuous mid-rank third-stage medal on his chest had already told Qin Yu that this person was the leader.

Qin Yu didn't hesitate, took the tools and began to dig, and the others also went down to the big pit together, watching Qin Yu work, while the leader stood on it and didn't come down. Qin Yu suddenly had a delusion, telling himself that this thing seemed to be unusual and dangerous, because this leader seemed to be a little afraid and did not go down into the pit.

Qin Yu knew that he was afraid that he would become a thunderbolt, but he couldn't choose, he still dug down tirelessly, and after a while, the hoe "ding" touched something, Qin Yu obviously felt that the leading guard's body trembled, it seems that his guess is not wrong, and the things below are probably indeed very dangerous.

But the guards around were different, they immediately began to get excited when they heard this sound, and hurriedly gathered around to see, carefully digging the surrounding soil, the leading guards could not help but be curious, and also came up, after the efforts of several people, slowly, a golden ring appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and after cleaning the side, it was found that it was a wooden plank, and there seemed to be a cellar-like place below, and this was a door, but it was opened downward.

It was only then that the leading guard seemed to be starting to get a little excited, and he rubbed his palms together, as if trying to suppress this emotion. And the guards around were excitedly discussing, and they didn't forget that there was a prison worker, Qin Yu, beside him.

"I really dug it, and it seems that this news is really true. ”

"Well, it seems that the above news is still very accurate, I heard that there is an artifact buried underneath, and it makes people excited to think about it. After the gossip discussion, the leading guard was the first to calm down, he asked Qin Yu to tie the rope, and wanted to pull the door open, but it seemed to be tight, so he began to command the guards to start struggling to open the door. In addition to being curious, Qin Yu was actually quite nervous, after all, looking at the performance of the leading guards, this thing was not only extraordinary, but might even be very dangerous. Is it really good to open this door without any preparation now? Qin Yu put a big question mark in his heart.

Without waiting for Qin Yu to hesitate, everyone was ready, just waiting for the leading guards to give the order. The leading guard looked at everyone, and after thinking that everything was in order, he shouted: "3..2..1:" Everyone pulled the rope and exerted force together, and there was an instant "bang", and when no one reacted, a large amount of dark elements erupted from the ground, and several people were dragged to the ground before they even had time to make a sound, Qin Yu only saw the leading guard with a frightened face at the last glance, and he fainted unconsciously...

I don't know how long it took, Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes and slowly regained consciousness, but he quickly reacted to what had just happened, but it was pitch black around him now, he opened his eyes wide and it was still pitch black, he slowly stood up and began to wave his hands wildly in the air, but he didn't touch anything.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Yu stood in the dark for a while, carefully recalling some details of the excavation and how to get here, but he couldn't figure out a clue. Just as he was about to take two more steps nearby in the dark, suddenly the three torches in the room lit up, Qin Yu was startled, but due to the long-term darkness, his eyes couldn't stand this sudden light, he frowned and blocked it with his hand, and after slowly getting used to it, he took it away, and everywhere he saw was a corpse on the ground, he opened his eyes wide and carefully distinguished that these corpses were the people who had just fallen with him, thinking of this, the cold sweat on his head kept coming out, but there was something that made him more concerned about happen。 This room has a narrow corridor-like road leading to the dark unknown, and on the wall with torches around it, the carved unknown monster suddenly lit up, the lifelike carving, as if it was about to come to life, seeing this more and more shining color, Qin Yu desperately rushed to the dark corridor, and ran forward with all his might, Qin Yu didn't dare to look back again, for fear that as soon as he turned around, he would see the most terrifying thing in his life chasing him. Although he didn't want to stop, but it backfired, because he ran too quickly, Qin Yu fell into his arms without accident, the pain all over his body made Qin Yu grin, and he didn't forget to look back at the dark corridor, and he didn't see what he was afraid of chasing him, and there was no abnormal sound, so he sighed a long sigh and sat down against the wall of the corridor, wanting to take a good rest and sort out his thoughts, but as if fate was deliberately going against him, he didn't even have a hot buttocks, and he heard some strange sounds.

"Well, is it a baby's cry?" Qin Yu really felt that it was his own illusion, but this voice echoed in the empty corridor over and over again, again and again, although Qin Yu felt incredible, but after this voice passed through Qin Yu's mind a few times, he was even more convinced that it was a baby's cry, and it emanated on the other side of the corridor. Qin Yu stood up slowly, and now he can only take one step at a time, he has no choice but to even have some more curiosity, he slowly touched the end of the corridor, and there began to be some faint light not far away, and from a distance, he could see that it was a Dao Gate. Qin Yu walked over and found a torch pinned to the left of the door, he pulled the door and opened it. He looked carefully into the room, and because the light in the room was not very good, he only saw a purple magical barrier on the floor in the room, and in the middle of the barrier was the crying baby.

Qin Yu wiped the cold sweat on his face, swallowed his saliva, and walked in cautiously as if he had made up his mind. The enchantment didn't appear anything unusual after Qin Yu came in, Qin Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, he slowly walked to the baby's side and slowly picked him up, but the enchantment also disappeared, and the child also stopped crying, looking at Ka Qin Yu with a pair of big black eyes, extremely cute. There was also a sign hanging from the child's neck, on which the word "ink" was simply written, Qin Yu pondered, not knowing what the meaning of this brand was.

Qin Yu himself was an orphan, and he had no support and no attachment all his life, but in this situation, he unexpectedly met this child, although he was not sure why this baby appeared here, but looking at this child, he suddenly had an indescribable calm, which calmed his tense mind. He hugged the child and turned around slightly, wanting to look around to see what else was there, but he didn't expect that because of this look, the mind that had just calmed down began to tense again, and he saw a wooden coffin. This made him feel shocked, could it be that this is a tomb? Qin Yu had already encountered too many incredible things tonight, and none of them were something he could touch, such as why so many people had fallen, but only I was alive, and since this was a tomb, how could there be a child. There were too many questions he couldn't figure out, and he simply didn't bother to think about it, since he couldn't get out now, he went to see what was inside the wooden coffin.

He magnified his courage to lean in front of the coffin, after all, no matter how powerful he was, it would disappear with death. He looked into the coffin, but he couldn't see it very clearly, so he took the torch in the doorway and saw it clearly.

Inside the wooden coffin was a man in a luxurious dress, his face was not angry, the dress was engraved with conspicuous black magic runes, through the light of the torch, Qin Yuzai looked at it carefully, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

He slowly straightened up his somewhat sore waist, the child in his hand didn't know why he began to cry, Qin Shuo hugged him and began to coax, and looked at the coffin from time to time, thinking that he fell into this cellar for no reason, thinking that he could survive for a few years, but now he was going to be trapped and died here, Qin Yu sighed heavily. After glancing at the coffin, when he was about to find a corner to put the child to sleep, he suddenly stopped in the air after half a step, and he always felt that there was something wrong with the coffin. So he turned back to look at the coffin without the slightest movement, and looked carefully from top to bottom, but still found no problem, he touched his head, thinking that it might be his own heart, but when he turned around again, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and gasped, he thought of something that could scare him to death. He quickly turned around and returned to the front of the pavilion, and after taking a look, he hurriedly retreated to the wall with the child in his arms, because the first time he looked at it for the second time, the eyes of the man in the coffin were closed, and this last time, he found that his eyes had been opened! Thinking of this, Qin Yu's scalp was numb for a while, and he sat on the ground with the child in his arms, and the coffin in front of him, which was motionless, suddenly began to condense the dark element. Qin Shuo was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe, and the torch in his hand was extinguished suddenly, Qin Yu felt that the god of death had come to lead him away, and he shrank in the corner of the wall and listened to the low rumble of the dark element, which became thicker and thicker, and Qin Yu's psychological defense line at this time was also on the verge of collapse. Just when he was about to shout out in fear, as if played by fate, suddenly his eyes lit up, and a spiral staircase accompanied by starlight appeared in the middle of the cellar out of thin air, leading to the top of the cellar, Qin Yu was stunned at first, and then began to run up like crazy with the child in his arms, no matter what the reason was, it was better than the weirdness of the cellar now. While Qin Yu was thinking, he rushed to the ground as fast as he could, he looked left and right, but found nothing. Then he looked back and saw that the dark element had not passed half of the stairs, Qin Yu wiped the cold sweat on his head in shock, and secretly sighed that he was running fast, otherwise he would have to explain here. At this moment, there was a rumbling at the bottom, it seemed to be the sound of the coffin hitting the wall when it was torn apart, Qin Yu heard it, and ran away without a trace with the child in his arms, thinking to himself, I don't know how many nightmares I will have for tonight's encounter in the future. In the cellar, the man lying on the coffin board was slowly hooking the corners of his mouth, and a rare smile appeared on his handsome and bright face.
