Chapter III
Long lines strung with ropes struggled through the desert.
The fire clouds were burning, the flames were rolling, and the strips of cloth bandaged on Huai'an's head had all been dyed dark red, and he couldn't tell whether sweat or tears were falling down on his face, and all that flowed was light red.
Huai'an only felt top-heavy at this time, and the whole person was subconsciously taking steps. I feel like I'm going to fall down at any moment.
"I can't fall, I must not fall, I have to avenge my mother, I have to avenge my mother. Huai'an kept repeating in his mind.
This is how a thirteen-year-old child is supported by his mind.
At this time, Huai'an was an ordinary person without any special abilities.
The way this continent obtains abilities is very special, or it is very difficult for ordinary people to obtain abilities, and only a very small number of people can get them.
The first is to gain abilities through artifacts.
However, there is a strict hierarchy between the leading class and the common people in this continent, which operates strictly according to the hereditary system, and there are few exceptions to be promoted. As the saying goes, "dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes".
Therefore, the artifact is basically in the hands of the nobles, and even if an ordinary person obtains the artifact, it will be hunted and snatched by the nobles like holding a hot yam.
But there is a group of people called "inheritors", whose parents obtained artifacts by various coincidences, and they are unwilling to hand over to the nobles. Since then, he has been incognito, using the power of the artifact to find more powerful power, trying to reach the point where no one can stop him. But how can powerful power be so easy to obtain, and their ancestors have carefully passed on the only artifact in their hands, and passed on the unfulfilled wishes in their hearts.
The nobles of each clan are the easiest to obtain the ability to pass on, the titles of the nobles are hereditary, their families will pass down artifacts from generation to generation, and the new nobles have the money and manpower to scavenge the scarce materials on the continent and hire the best craftsmen to craft new artifacts. Some nobles like to fight, and in battle, they capture the artifacts of other nobles.
In this way, the longer the inheritance, the more powerful the nobles, the more artifacts they have. This continent is naturally the Tianshan nobles, the Gobi nobles, the desert nobles, and the grassland nobles have the most power, the most extensive territory, and the most artifacts. In this way, there are more and more people in these great nobles who have obtained the inheritance of supernatural abilities, and the power of these great nobles has been further strengthened, forming a virtuous circle, like a snowball. squeezing other ethnic groups out of breath, it also makes the people have no chance to turn over and be the masters.
The second way to gain abilities is to hunt spirit beasts
Only 1 in 10,000 spirit beasts will produce "Ability Seeds" after death.
The "ability seeds" produced after death are also different according to the different types of spirit beasts, but the generation of ability seeds is one in ten thousand, and the amount is very, very small. The increase in human abilities is also far less than that of artifacts.
There is only one special "Ability Seed" that has both the energy of an artifact and a spirit animal.
This "Abnormal Seed" is an ancient "10,000-year-old spirit beast" who knows that his time is short, but he is unwilling to fall like this. The substance formed by using one's own body as a furnace and fusing ten thousand years of energy and soul refining together is called "soul seed".
This is what everyone in this continent dreams of, but the "soul seed" is not only difficult to find, but even if it is found, it is not easy to have, because the "soul seed" has the soul of the spirit beast before its death, so the "soul seed" recognizes the master, and he will only let the true chosen son have him. Because only the chosen one deserves to have him, and only has a chance to let him see the light of day again.
The chosen one, rare for a thousand years!
The third way to obtain abilities is to pass on the Spirit Beast King from generation to generation, and when the old Spirit Beast King's life comes to an end, he will pass on all his abilities to the new Spirit Beast King at the Spirit Beast Altar.
This kind of inheritance only occurs among spirit beasts, and it will only be passed on to the next generation of spirit beast kings.
The fourth way to obtain the ability is to be born with a special constitution, but this kind of person born with a special constitution has been very rare for many years, what kind of constitution is there, and what is his ability, people have different opinions, and they are just guesses!
The last way to gain abilities is to get the Ancient Book.
For thousands of years, countless civilians without artifacts wanted to obtain abilities through other means, they believed that they were an energy field, they believed that people were conceived from the energy of heaven and earth, and they believed that people were the product of the combination of yin and yang between heaven and earth. They look at themselves by "looking inside", looking for their own energy field, and then feeling the energy field between heaven and earth, so that they can resonate with heaven and earth to obtain energy.
How to "look inward", how to feel the energy field, how to resonate with it and gain ability?
No one knew about it in the early days, and it took more than a decade for their research to take shape, and many of them had only a little experience in their lifetimes. Fortunately, these predecessors have written down their research experience, passed on and improved from generation to generation. Always build on the previous generation. Up to now, there have been several ancient books that have been handed down in detail to record in detail the cultivation methods that ordinary people want to obtain supernatural abilities.
It's just that ancient books are hard to find, and they can't be found!
At this time, Huai'an, no matter from which point of view, did not have any abilities.
"Hurry up" and "snap" The cavalry whipped a man beside him, and the man trotted two steps, bleeding from his back.
The man's trot pulled the rope behind him, and pulled the back section by section, pulling to Huai'an, and dragging Huai'an, who didn't have any strength to move forward with perseverance, directly to the ground.
At this time, several cavalrymen rushed over, and the whip "crackled".
Huai'an was dying, her mind was full of A-Niang, and she gradually lost consciousness......
When I woke up again, it was already evening, and Huai'an's back was hot and painful, painful and cold. I watched as my hands were erected, my feet dragged to the ground, and I slid forward. On the left is the eldest brother who saved him last time.
"Thank you...... Thank...... Big... Brother," Huai'an said with his lips moving slightly.
"Kid, stop talking, thank you when you survive!" said the eldest brother with his head down, sweating profusely.
"I ...... Yes...... "Okay," Huai'an struggled to walk on his own. didn't take two steps and fell forward, and the two eldest brothers caught him and put him on top of him.
This kind of walking has neither the concept of time nor space, everything is like throwing people into a dark bottomless pit, constantly tormenting and tormenting.
All the captives had only one meal a day, and in the evening the cavalry would cook a large pot of porridge with water from the side of the road and a little rice, drink a bowl for each person, and then march at once.
Many people died on the way, some of them because they were not treated in time after being injured, their wounds were infected, and they were hot-headed. Some fainted due to severe nutritional deficiencies and were stabbed to death by cavalry.
Whatever the reason, if you fall, a couple of cavalrymen will rush at you and whip you, and before you get up and move on, the cavalry will stab you down with a spear and make you fall forever.
This is the law of survival in this troubled world, and this is also the first thing that thirteen-year-old Huai'an learned.
"I can never fall, I can never give my back to the enemy"
