Wu Sheng was already at the age of Ben San in his previous life.

When men reach the age of 28 or 29, they may have a clear understanding: why life is a marathon against the current.

It's really too simple, and if you want to keep moving forward, it's the real problem of life, the ever-changing environment, the ever-evolving world, the self-standing self, the age of Bensan, and even effective learning have become a luxury dream.

People keep buying books, buying courses, and watching live broadcasts of knowledge sharing, as if as long as they pay money, they can gain the same knowledge and wisdom. That illusory self-satisfaction Wu Sheng tried, tried, and in the end, he was still in his tired life, and he achieved nothing.

Yes, life may not be a marathon, as long as you give up the unattainable dream, as long as you give up moving forward, as long as you give up thinking, everything will become very easy.

He may or may not have given up.

Now time flies, time and space change.

He gained youth, a chance to start over, a power that was unimaginable before, and a few incredible friends.

But he also dreamed back to the world of Ben San man at midnight, the busy life of 996 blessings, the crowded commute to and from work, the warm and elegant apartment rental, a set of high-end audio, beautiful bookshelves, soft floor-to-ceiling warm lamps, soft jazz in the stereo, sinking into the sofa, reading a book under the soft light, and having a glass of whiskey at hand, enjoying life.

But deep down, he still feared something.

Maybe it's the same life, maybe it's the loneliness that has nowhere to tell, maybe it's the world that can't be changed...... Perhaps, there are many maybes, but none of them are perhaps, the fear of death.

Yes, he never feared death, he only feared that it would be meaningless.

Therefore, if he can cover Sanji and Usopp to escape today, even if he dies, he will not regret it, because he knows that his death is valuable.

But in the final moments, he seems to have failed, and he seems to be alive.

He woke up from the darkness, feeling the bound hands and feet, the cold air around him, and Erige and Ma Chao responded to his call weakly in their hearts, they had been helping him resist the cold, so he could not recover well.

The surrounding environment was dim, and he was waiting to light a fire to observe his surroundings.

"Smack!"

It seems that somewhere the opening light opens, and the whole space becomes very bright.

It was a huge room that resembled a medieval shipwreck, with dilapidated furniture and wooden walls stained with blue seaweed, and he was bound and hung in the center of the room by an unknown silk object.

To the left and right of him were two ice crystals floating in mid-air, and in the ice crystals were Sanji and Usopp, but it was not certain whether they were alive or not.

The only thing he was sure of was that the two of them seemed to have awakened the will to resist.

Seeing that the two of them were dressed in strange clothes, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, shook his head, and woke himself up from his groggy state.

How did he get here?

"Anyone! Feed! Wu Sheng slammed his feet hard, except for shaking himself, it had no effect.

So he kept shouting, hoping that the person he had caught would hear, whether it was to communicate with him or to give him a good time.

Anyway, it doesn't make much sense to hang like this.

After 30 minutes, no one answered.

So he asked Elig not to help him resist the cold first, but to try to recover his soul power first, and then see if he could burn off the restraints on his body with a fire.

......After the soul power was withdrawn, the cold air seeped into his body from his unkempt collar, from his neck and cuffs, sticky and cold.

It's cold.

He thought of the first time he traveled from the demon capital to the capital in October when he was young, and he wore short sleeves to the late autumn in the north as an inexperienced man.

In just 15 minutes, he was frozen to the point of delirium. And at this time, Elig couldn't recover much soul power, he no longer charged his strength, but rose up with all his strength, trying to burn the restraints on his body.

I saw a few small but condensed flames slip out of his hands, gushing out through the gaps of unknown silk restraints, burning softly and tenaciously.

However, it did not work.

After burning for a while, he changed places, then another place, and finally to the sling at the back of his neck.

Useless, useless, still useless.

"Hehehe, this is the toughest hair on the back of my neck, how can this little flame burn out?" A chuckle rang out in his heart.

That's great! Wu Sheng recognized this voice and congratulated loudly in his heart.

"Oh? You've all been caught by me, so happy? ”

"You must have your purpose in arresting me back, right? As long as there is a purpose, we have the possibility of communication. Wu Sheng's waist was strong, and he kept swinging the rope, and there was no unicorn in front of him.

"Hahaha, smart little one......" As the voice sounded, the restraints on his body automatically dissipated.

Wu Sheng landed on one knee gently, twisted his neck, stretched his waist and legs, and dried his inner clothes with flames, while relieving his bad state, he slowly observed the surrounding environment.

Behind him was a huge door, and the unicorn was walking in that direction, and behind him, a huge unknown beast 20 meters long floating in the air, the beast's fur was covered with frost, and its back was facing him, and for a while, he couldn't see what it was.

So he looked at the Kirin again, "My two partners are still alive?" He pointed to Sanji and Usopp.

"Well, alive." Kirin placed the giant beast on the red wooden floor, crossed Wu Sheng, and walked to a clearing behind him, bent on all fours, and lay diagonally on the ground.

"That ......" Wu Sheng was trying to solve the problem by mouth.

"Let them go?" Kirin's voice picked up his words.

"Hmm......" He wondered if the Kirin, who had not spoken from beginning to end and had spoken to him telepathically, could sense his thoughts.

But he didn't have a better way, so he had to change the subject and continue: "Then, let's talk about why you don't kill me or deal with me like them." ”

"Do you see the ingredients in the back?" Kirin lowered his head and lay down in a more relaxed position.

"Hmm." What do you mean?

"Bake it for me, I like hot food, and you'll be my cook from now on." A simple sentence contains a lot of information, first assigning the current task, then explaining why he didn't kill him, and indicating his future.

"Huh?" Wu Sheng was stunned, he thought that he had some other value, such as a traverser, such as Elig's sin realm power or something.

I didn't expect people to just take a fancy to his ferocious firepower?

He was in a daze, suddenly, the hoarfrost on the giant beast's body lit up, and then gradually dissipated into the air, as the hoarfrost dissipated, the giant suddenly moved, slowly stood up, shook the cold air on his body, seemed to smell his breath, the giant turned around, and roared loudly at him!

"Moo!"

This time, Wu Sheng saw clearly, this turned out to be a tusked elephant with red hair!

At this time, his body had not recovered from the pan force, and in this huge roar and shock, his legs were weak, and he was about to fall on the spot.

"Humph!" A cold snort rang out from nothingness.

Wu Sheng's legs stiffened, but he firmly supported his body that was about to kneel.

The giant elephant also froze, stopped demonstrating and roaring, looked sideways left and right, and found the unicorn lying next to him, as if he remembered how he got here, and immediately bowed his head and knelt down, prostrate on the ground, and wailed.

It was hard for Wu Sheng to imagine how an elephant with a body length of more than 20 meters could fall to his knees, but this funny and terrifying scene was presented in front of his eyes, which was enough for him to understand what a monster a unicorn that could subdue a giant beast with just a cold snort was.

Wu Sheng's brain went blank, and suddenly his tiger head Zhan golden spear flew in, sticking straight into the wooden floor in front of him, and the lazy voice of the unicorn sounded in his heart again: "Go ahead, use that little trick of yours to slaughter it." ”

"Me?" Wu Sheng pulled out his spear, looked at the Qilin at a loss, and pointed to his nose.

"Hurry up! I am hungry. The Kirin shouted dissatisfiedly, "It should be roasted just right from the inside out, 5 medium rare, understand?" ”

“...... Why don't I know how to barbecue? At most, I can only cook noodles! Wu Sheng was aggrieved, how could he be roasted?

But he didn't know that he used the combo of [Fire Dragon Red] and [Yin Wutu] twice, and the spear was extremely hot, and the heat wave and temperature brought up just enough to roast a boar and a Tyrannosaurus rex to the taste of the unicorn.

Of course, in fact, the Qilin will find it delicious, in addition to the flames, but also because when Wu Sheng kills the monsters of this hall, they will purify the negative consciousness energy on their bodies, allowing them to return to the pure taste of their ingredients themselves. If the Kirin kills it himself, the negative consciousness will still remain on the corpse, but he has no choice but to endure the discomfort and eat it together.

"It's the move you used to slaughter a pig and a big lizard, and you will do it once, hurry up!" Seeing his bewildered look, Qilin was anxious and stood up angrily: "Wasn't it quite smart just now?" How did you become stupid all of a sudden? ”

He was also hungry, just now the Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't eat a few bites, it was burned into charcoal by a round of fire by Wu Sheng, that meal was not eaten, and now he is hungry!

"But I haven't regained my strength yet." Wu Sheng said helplessly, big man, his current soul power can't use this trick......

"You! Yes! A rookie is a rookie! Qilin was so angry that he walked back and forth with his hooves on the ground, and layers of cold aura overflowed from his body, causing the temperature of the entire space to drop one level, but there was nothing he could do about it.

It's exactly the same as "I can't go to the barbecue stall in the middle of the night, and you can choose from all kinds of meat skewers, but the boss tells you that the little brother is going to get it after the charcoal fire, but you have to wait for half an hour, although you are annoyed in your heart, but you are here, wait".

"I ......" Wu Sheng was silent, if you hadn't tied me up and kept consuming my soul power, would it be like this now?

And the giant elephant next to it still crawled on the ground without saying a word, as if it was not the one who was about to die.

For a while, the scene was silent, frozen, embarrassed, and helpless.

Wu Sheng scratched his head, afraid that Qilin would be angry and take him to relieve his anger, and forcibly continued his life: "Why don't you chat first?" ”
