Chapter 18: The Man Who Crawled Out of the Ground

When the pair of scorched black hands suddenly made strange movements, even more strange things happened, only to see that the snakes, insects, rats and ants surrounding Xizhuzhou suddenly stopped moving.

In an instant, it seemed that time stood still, and all the strange sounds around him disappeared at once, and the surroundings of Xizhu soon fell into a strange dead silence.

"Click!"

Suddenly, in this isolated valley, a faint but very crisp-sounding sound of bones rubbing suddenly sounded.

The abrupt sound broke the dead silence around them, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants surrounding Xizhu all began to retreat quickly at a frantic speed after a period of silence, as if they suddenly felt some kind of aura that frightened them to the extreme.

Not only that, but within a huge radius of miles in this hollow valley, all the snakes, insects, rats, ants, or mountain birds and beasts suddenly began to move away from each other, until they finally lost their traces completely.

Xizhu hadn't woken up, and he couldn't feel the changes around him, but there seemed to be an extra struggle on his pale face.

Finally, when that strange atmosphere reached its extreme, under the deep dead branches and leaves, a pair of eyes that had been closed for an unknown period of time finally opened slowly......

It was a pair of dark eyes, and when the black eyes reappeared, the dead branches and leaves that had quietly covered the earth suddenly began to slowly squirm.

"......

After a few more moments, as the leaves on the ground began to form a strange whirlpool, a charred hand suddenly poked out of it without warning.

The moonlight hung high, still in this isolated abyss, a figure covered with black dirt, a guy who had unfortunately fallen under this abyss and had been buried in the ground by dead branches and leaves for many years, he finally woke up from a long slumber!

The process of climbing out of the burial seemed difficult for him, and when his upper body finally saw the light of day, he felt the new air, and he soon returned to the air that he could breathe freely like a former drowning man, and began to breathe greedily in all this.

After a short struggle, he finally crawled out of the ground in such a strange posture.

But this process seemed to consume too much of his vitality and vitality, because his body quickly collapsed to the ground weakly after he was freed from the restraints, and his whole body began to tremble again.

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was still a little uncomfortable, as if the soft moonlight still seemed a little dazzling to him.

But when he closed his eyes, his brow was already wrinkled, because no one but him knew that there was an intermittent memory wandering in his mind at this moment, rubbing against every nerve in his mind.

Until the last picture suddenly froze in the air of a door, a gate that exuded an unusual aura, and at the same time, a leisurely voice echoed in his mind at one time: "Thousands of years of ancient and modern, in the soul opening gate!"

"Uh~"

When all the images were gone, his eyes snapped open, but he let out a feeble cough.

He struggled to his feet from the ground, his hands reaching out to everything around him that he could possibly grasp, and finally he stood up in the pain that his whole joints were about to fall apart.

The moonlight shone on his body and face, and the body covered in mud seemed to suddenly feel an inexplicable attraction, and he saw that his hand suddenly let go of everything around him, and naturally opened to the left and right.

At this moment, a gust of night wind struck, and his body slowly began to undergo incredible changes under the moonlight, and the dirt covering him suddenly began to slide down like a dried leaf, gradually revealing the white skin covered by the soil.

Not only that, but his body began to float slowly from the ground in an eerie state, his feet off the ground, away from the vines.

It wasn't until his body was completely bathed in the moonlight that his eyes slowly closed again......

Soon an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

I don't know how long it took, the moonlight was still the same, and the corners of the mysterious guy's mouth in the deep valley seemed to show a strange curvature, and his skin became whiter and fairer, and it seemed to be a little more crystal clear.

Finally, when his eyes opened again, those pupils had become clearer and clearer, and seemed to be a little deeper and clearer than before.

He looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, and suddenly let out a long howl that had been suppressed for an unknown amount of time, and at the same time, two snow-white fangs gradually appeared.

"Roar~"

This time, in the midst of that long roar, all the beasts on the entire Wutu Ridge suddenly became panicked, and even the unconscious Xizhu grinned twice, as if this sudden sound was disturbing his night dreams.

When everything was quiet, the figure finally gradually returned to the ground, standing quietly in front of the vine-wrapped Xizhu.

I saw that he was fair-skinned, and he had crawled out of the ground, but at the moment he seemed to be spotless.

After he came to his senses, he was staring at Xizhu in a daze, and a trace of confusion appeared in his pupils again, which was a kind of confusion about the unfamiliar environment around him.

"This ...... Where is this?"

It was his first sentence and the first thing he said when he came into this world.

Of course, no one has been able to answer this question now.

Facing the unconscious Xizhu, he hesitated for a moment, and then slowly stretched his hand towards Xizhu, but when his hand just touched Xizhu's body, his expression suddenly condensed and his consciousness quickly fell into a strange state.

For at that moment he seemed to see a strange picture, a strange world, where people dressed in cloth robes and with long hair coiled were busy in a very primitive village every day.

He saw some armies with Tie Ge in his hands, saw the Black Wind Village, saw the boy being chased by the blue wolf in the night, saw the boy fall off the cliff, and even saw the whole process of crawling out of the ground.

"What's going on!"

As the picture drew to an end, his hand quickly retracted, and his real body staggered back a few steps, once again looking up at the vine-entangled bamboo.

"No...... No, it must be an illusion!"

He seemed to be comforting himself, only then he suddenly turned around and tried to flee from here.

But at that moment, a very real feeling instantly spread all over his body, and it all seemed to be true.

This young man is real, this valley is also true, and the earth under his feet is also real.

It was fate that played a big joke on him, because this place was no longer the world he was familiar with!

How many incredible things have happened to him, all because he has been so different since he was a child, he wanted to turn around and escape from all this and return to reality, turning around with a little trepidation, but he hesitated again.

What if all this is true, what if it is true!

Thinking of this, he still struggled to turn his head and stare at the unconscious Xizhu again, and after thinking for a long time, he finally reached out and grabbed Xizhu's body again.

"Huh~"

In the end, I felt a breeze blowing, and the silence of this desperate valley was restored again, leaving only a mess and countless snakes, insects, rats and ants lurking underground.

......

"You bunch of unproductive things, skinny monkeys, little dogs!"

In Xizhu's dream, he is still in Dazhu Village, still playing in the bamboo forest and mountains with the big fat puppies, as if he has returned to his childhood, back to the carefree time.

The sky was shining, and that day he became the boss of several playmates, and the big fat who looked stronger than him that day was willing to be his little brother, and he was very happy and excited to run towards his home.

Later, he smelled the fragrance of big buns again, and it was his grandmother waiting for him to come home for dinner.

Everything is so peaceful, so comfortable.

The corners of Xizhu's mouth in a coma rose slightly, it turned out that he was also laughing when he was dreaming, but after a while, the pictures just now gradually began to blur, and everything gradually faded away until it finally disappeared completely.

At this time, it was as if something was covering his eyes, and he tried to open them as hard as he could, but he couldn't.

In confusion, Xizhu's body suddenly flipped to the side, and suddenly there was a cold feeling in his hand, his eyelids kept beating, and it took a long time before he slowly opened.

It's just that his eyes just opened a little gap, and he quickly closed them again, and his hand naturally withdrew from the side to block his eyes, it turned out that it was already noon, and the sun in the sky was shining directly on his body, and there was a warm feeling.

"Where is this?"

Xizhu said groggily, his hand seemed to be wet with something, and the cold feeling soon spread to his face, and there were bursts of running water all around, and occasionally the sound of birds could be heard in the distance.

After a while, Xizhu, who was still a little lazy on the ground, suddenly noticed something, sat up from the ground and opened his eyes wide, and then touched it back and forth with both hands on his body, and the whole person was stunned.

I saw that I was lying on a large stone slab, and the clothes on my body were about to turn into a pile of cloth, dirty, and there were many blood stains that had solidified together.

"Am I alive?"

Xizhu was surprised, and then looked at his surroundings, and when he saw his surroundings clearly, his face once again showed an incredible look, and at this moment he was lying on a flat boulder.

The stone was large, and next to it was a waterhole, one side of which was submerged in the waterhole, and on all sides was a lush forest......
