Chapter 7: The Resurrection

Ning Yuan died.

To be honest, apart from the shadows passing through his eyes, the fishy stench at the end of his nose and the instant tightness of his throat and the short-term sharp pain, Ning Yuan didn't have much painful experience with this death.

At the moment when his neck was bitten off, Ning Yuan's consciousness fell into darkness under the protection of the system.

For his first death, Ning Yuan felt a little confused. Because he was dead before he was completely aware of what was happening.

In the darkness and light of day, Ning Yuan had turned into a spirit and appeared above his corpse. Then he watched the Qingfeng wolf gnaw on his still twitching body. There was a big hole in his neck, and thin blood kept pouring out of the hole, and his head with an unknown expression was crooked on his shoulder, and the hollow pupils seemed to still retain the shadow of a bloody mouth.

After losing his mind for a short time, Ning Yuan subconsciously touched the neck of his spirit body, and gradually woke up from his ignorance at a loss.

After the spirit body's eyes clearly reflected his gradually gnawing and mutilated body, Ning Yuan realized what had just happened.

He's dead. Without any warning, without any resistance, he was bitten off the neck from the front by a demon beast at the moment of turning. Although it was not uncommon for him to experience death in other Void games, it was the first time he had been killed without any reaction as this one.

Ning Yuan subconsciously began to recall the details of that moment, and then carefully experienced all the details of that moment again and again with the help of "Sunset", as if in slow motion. Including the salivating bloody mouth when he turned around, the fangs reflecting the cold and cold light on the bloody mouth, from the moment it was reflected in the pupil to the moment it crossed the pupil, followed by the fishy smell that rushed into the nose, then the goosebumps on the neck that were instantly aroused by the feeling of pressure, the slight itching when the fangs broke through the skin, the tightness caused by the squeezing of the throat, the sharp pain when the neck was bitten off, and the faint cracking sound of the neck bone.

As if in slow motion, he experienced the process of death again, and Ning Yuan, who had already turned into a spirit body, also felt a tingling chill and creepiness on his scalp in an instant. Then there was a feeling of nausea from chest tightness and churning viscera, and the irrepressible horror made Ning Yuan start retching in the spirit state.

The details of the memories mapped by "Sunset" made Ning Yuan's death process, which he had not felt much, clear and painful.

Ning Yuan, who could barely suppress his disgust, began to retch again at the moment his mutilated corpse appeared in his eyes.

By the time Ning Yuan finally suppressed his disgust, the Qingfeng Wolf had already disappeared, along with the mutilated corpse that seemed to be engraved in Ning Yuan's mind. All that was left at the scene was a pool of blood and a short gun left aside.

Ning Yuan closed the spirit body's eyes in pain, and it took a long time to open them again. Then he looked blankly at the resurrection options that appeared in front of him.

"The player has died, please choose the resurrection method:

In-situ reincarnation resurrection (optional);

Random reshaping avatar resurrection within 100 meters (optional);

Reshape the incarnation in the bound resurrection altar (not optional);

Reshape avatars in a nearby city Resurrection Altar at random (not optional). ”

Because Ning Yuan chose to come autonomously, according to the rules, it is equivalent to automatically giving up the opportunity to obtain the initial household registration and bind the resurrection point. Only registered players and natives can respawn randomly at the respawn point in one or more of the nearest allied cities.

Therefore, the only thing Ning Yuan could choose was to resurrect on the spot or a random resurrection within a hundred meters of the place of death.

Ning Yuan, who was in a spirit state, subconsciously touched his neck and controlled himself not to think about his death, his eyes carefully observed the surrounding situation, and confirmed that the demon beast had dragged his uneaten corpse and disappeared from the field of vision, and there were no other demon beasts in other directions, Ning Yuan chose to resurrect on the spot.

The way of resurrection in situ on the continent of Nino is still very humane. It didn't stir up any light and shadow effects, just the transformation of the spirit from virtual to real. It was as if someone appeared in the air without warning, very quiet and hidden.

After being resurrected down-to-earth, Ning Yuan subconsciously touched his neck, and then gently stretched his body to check the state after resurrection.

The body is intact and healthy, the original hunger and exhaustion, including fine scratches, are completely gone, and the novice suit will actively appear on the body at the moment of resurrection due to the never-wearing nature of the system. So apart from the props he carried, Ning Yuan didn't have any material losses.

As for the props, Ning Yuan looked in the direction where the Qingfeng Wolf was leaving, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Possessing himself to pick up the short spear on the ground, and then carefully avoiding the blood on the ground, Ning Yuan hunched over and quietly groped along the trail of the corpse.

Sure enough, he first found the falling flame stone a few meters away, and then found the vial of hemostatic powder left from the corpse more than ten meters away.

After all the lost props were recovered, Ning Yuan tiptoed to collect some pulp in the nearby grass and twisted the juice to apply it to the novice suit and exposed skin. Then he quickly and stealthily dived into the distance.

In the grass under a hidden tree somewhere far away from the place of death, Ning Yuan subconsciously touched his neck, and then sat down on the ground against the trunk of the tree, sighing silently.

Focus your consciousness in your mind and bring up the character panel:

After taking the White Skull Grass, Ning Yuan's physical talent began to be in the embryonic state of awakening due to the improvement of his physical fitness, and it was believed that after Ning Yuan obtained the cultivation method and began to cultivate, he would be able to quickly awaken one or two of them with the help of the remaining medicinal effects hidden in the body of the White Skull Grass and not absorbed.

There are only three resurrections, and there are two left. Ning Yuan's expression was a little depressed. Especially this death, for Ning Yuan at this time, it was a little inexplicable and overwhelmed.

Subconsciously touched his neck again, although the details of the death memory had begun to blur because of the side effects of "sunset", the shadow remained in his mind at all times, and he didn't even want to recall Ning Yuan at all.

But in order to find out all the truth about this inexplicable death and avoid such a situation from happening again, Ning Yuan endured the fear of the shadow of death engraved in his mind, turned on the "sunset" again, and began to recall all the details of today from the moment before death.

As he repeated over and over again in his mind all the details of his memories from the moment he woke up this morning to the moment before he died, Ning Yuan began to reflect.

There is no doubt that the direct cause of this death was that the sound of Ning Yuan stepping on the branch when he got down the tree inadvertently attracted the attention of the Qingfeng Wolf, and Ning Yuan did not stop in time at that time but accelerated the action of getting down the tree, which made the Qingfeng Wolf really discover Ning Yuan, and everything that happened later became a matter of course.

Human beings, including other intelligent races and demon beasts, have always been immortal, which can be said to be an immortal mark engraved in the blood and bones of both sides. Demon beasts regard "humans" as food and evolutionary aid, while "humans" regard monsters as natural enemies while peeking at the materials on the monsters.

It can be said that "humans" and monsters were destined to die from the beginning.

What surprised Ning Yuan was why he stepped on the broken branch at that time, why he didn't notice the appearance of the Qingfeng wolf, and why he didn't stop his movements and hide himself at the moment he stepped on the broken branch.

You must know that Yi Ningyuan was cautious at the beginning, and the first thing that came to mind in any wind and grass was always to observe covertly, rather than ignoring possible risks.

Although in essence, Ning Yuan is not a person who is used to being cautious, let alone a person who is cautious enough to be close to neuroticism. But it depends on the environment.

What is this place? This is the Great Forest of Dragon Blood, and there are too many threats here that are fatal to Ning Yuan, who has not yet cultivated. Not to mention the densely distributed various demon beasts, not to mention those seemingly harmless but deadly natural traps, just the poisonous snakes, poisonous insects and even poisonous weeds that can be seen everywhere may inadvertently kill Ning Yuan.

In such an environment, Ning Yuan knew very well that he could not be too cautious and cautious.

The memory moves forward again, and more details are revealed. Ning Yuan found that the first few times when it seemed easy to avoid demon beasts were actually just seeming. With the details reproduced in his mind now, Ning Yuan felt that it was really a fluke that he was not attacked by the demon beast in front.

Take, for example, the last time you avoided a boar-type monster before you died. At that time, Ning Yuan found the tusked pig digging the soil when the two sides were close to less than seventy meters, and Ning Yuan, who was startled at the time, subconsciously took a step back, and then stepped on a dead branch. Not only that, but the short spear in his right hand also bumped into the trunk of the tree next to him under the nervous movement.

Both of these mistakes should have been fatal. But Ning Yuan, who was in a state of tension, didn't notice.

However, fortunately, there were dense bushes in front of the tree, and the rotten leaves under the dead branches were also very thick, and the sounds that sounded almost simultaneously in both places were suppressed in a very close range, which caused Ning Yuan to get close to the demon beast at a close distance, and he could avoid the illusion of not being discovered in time.

However, is it really not found?

But in the reproduced memory, Ning Yuan noticed a detail. When the two voices sounded, the fanged pig's ears twitched slightly, but it didn't turn around.

Although there were only two mistakes to make a sound from a certain distance from the monster beast like this, there were many slight mistakes in today's trip, such as the shape of the body that was not pressed low enough, the shaking of branches and leaves that could have been avoided, the unnecessary toggle action when walking in the bushes, and so on.

Why is this happening? Ning Yuan reproduced all the details repeatedly, and then turned his memory back to the day before to start the comparison.

Then Ning Yuan discovered the root.

The joy of harvesting the White Skull Grass, the joy of improving his physical fitness after taking the White Skull Grass, the joy of being safe and sound in the first two days, and the joy that the most dangerous distance on the periphery was about to pass, this kind of joy made Ning Yuan's mentality unconsciously relax a little from extreme concentration and tension. Then the sudden improvement of physical fitness made Ning Yuan's movements, which were not fully adapted, unconsciously begin to lose shape.

And then everything happened naturally today.
