Chapter 122: Failure Without Words to Speak
"Where is this, is it a fantasy? Still is...... Some half-plane? Wang Xiaoyu stared at his palm, and fiddled with his fingers and said suspiciously.
His palm was no longer the black carapace of his [Heavy Knight Form] at this time, it seemed to be an ordinary human hand, with some dirt and a few scratches on it, but it was already scabbed by this time.
The compound vision from insects is also gone, and it has become a normal vision like a vampire bat form.
Wang Xiaoyu felt that he should have become a human being.
This was also the reason for his doubts, because if it weren't for the illusion, then he couldn't have suddenly become human.
But before coming here, his memory was still very clear, Wang Xiaoyu remembered that the name of the book that emitted a pale golden light was called "Chronicles of the Dead", it was indeed a book of the undead, but it should have been misplaced on the shelf, otherwise he and Kozmo should have found it on the first day.
And he was also teleported here because he touched the pale golden light emitted by Kozmo's book, and then his body gradually faded and teleported here, so this place should not be in a [mirage]-like illusion.
"Could it be ......" Wang Xiaoyu muttered quietly, and quickly clicked on his system panel.

"Humanoid again?" Looking at the system panel, Wang Xiaoyu made a somewhat surprised sound.
……
Suddenly, a breeze blew, and a faint smell of sulfur poured into Wang Xiaoyu's nostrils.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
The smell of sulfur, though faint, drew a violent cough. Wang Xiaoyu soon realized that his current body is a human being, and his ability to adapt to the environment is much worse than that of insects, and his sense of smell is much worse than that of insects.
This is also the reason why he smelled sulphur very lightly. But the cause of the severe cough was issued.
Wang Xiaoyu tried to slow down his breathing, and the smell of sulfur made him feel much less uncomfortable, and he also observed his surroundings and his own environment again......
The scattered land around it was devoid of vegetation, there was some charred soil everywhere, a few withered and decaying trees on the hillside not far away, and there seemed to be black smoke in the sky in the distance......
Although he had already confirmed the surrounding scene when his sight first appeared. But when the smell of sulfur wafted by, Wang Xiaoyu completely confirmed what this world was.
He couldn't forget the familiar smell of sulfur, this should be the world of "Celestial Domain" after being invaded by the abyss, and he should now have the body of an ordinary human, wearing a gray coarse cloth clothes, and his combat power is also on the average of an adult human.5
……
Suddenly, Wang Xiaoyu thought of something again, that is, the red-headed Ryder and the Great Sage Kozmo who had been on his shoulders were not next to him, you must know that he, Ryder and Kozmo should have disappeared together with the pale golden light.
"It doesn't seem to be next to me, is it like me and has become something else, or is it ......" Wang Xiaoyu turned his head and glanced around again. Said suspiciously.
It was also at this time that Wang Xiaoyu's ears heard a voice calling for help, which should have come from the side of the hillside.
"Is it Ryder, or is it the Great Sage Kozmo?"
Without hesitation, Wang Xiaoyu walked quickly to the hillside, and at the top of the hillside, he saw the ruined human village behind the hillside, and in front of him appeared a fallen decaying tree about half a meter thick, which happened to crush the legs of a middle-aged man.
NPC: Jeffrey (mortal)
Grade: 11
Combat effectiveness: 5.2
I had a brief conversation with the middle-aged man whose legs were pinned. Wang Xiaoyu also confirmed that the human male was not Kozmo and Ryder.
Despite this, Wang Xiaoyu still stepped forward to try to lift the tree a little. Plans to free the man. However, although the tree was much lighter due to decay, it was still unable to move with his current weak human body.
Fortunately, this decaying tree was not very strong, Wang Xiaoyu quickly thought of a way, and began to use hard stones to knock on this decaying tree little by little.
After more than ten minutes, he also managed to completely smash the tree and rescue the middle-aged man from the state of being crushed by the tree......
……
And at the moment when this human was rescued. Wang Xiaoyu suddenly figured out where this was, this should be the test of the sage brought by the book that emitted golden light.
This kind of catastrophic vision of the Overworld being invaded by the Abyss is impossible to have now, so this very real half-dimensional world should have been temporarily formed by his memories.
It is also because of the sage's trial that he has become a weak human now......
He uses his weak body to help the world, so as long as he follows the standards of the sages in this improvised world, he must be right to do what all sages should do.
It's like the middle-aged human he just rescued. As long as he continues to do so, he will most likely gain the same sage's inheritance as Kozmo.
……
It's just that at the moment when Wang Xiaoyu was born with this idea, the scenery in front of him suddenly brightened and darkened, the sky began to shatter like a mirror, and the earth in the distance began to collapse little by little......
Soon the human NPC he had just rescued in front of him was reduced to mirror-like shards, charred dirt and stones, decaying trees, and even the system panel he was trying to call out slowly shattered, and then his own body began to slowly crumble.
It didn't take long for Wang Xiaoyu's surroundings to become pitch black with the collapse of the world.
And when Wang Xiaoyu's gaze regained again, he once again changed back to the appearance of [Heavy Knight Form].
"I see, it turns out that everything just now, even the system panel I clicked on was an ......illusion," Wang Xiaoyu once again regained his compound vision, staring at his black palm and pinching it.
He came to a strange circular room, blue with what seemed to be a marble floor, and the surrounding gray stone walls were filled with magical lights, and this strange circular room seemed to have no exit.
In the center of this room was a pale gold book, and Wang Xiaoyu changed the angle of his body to see the text on the cover of the book - the Book of Sages.
Next to this "Book of Sages", a vague pale gold figure gradually appeared, but in the end, this pale gold figure was still blurred, only a vague outline.
"It's a pity, it's very likely that you would have received a portion of the inheritance of the Book of Sages, if you hadn't discovered the meaning of this trial......" The pale golden figure let out a sighing voice, and the tone was very neutral, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Soon, the pale golden figure slowly turned into golden points of light and disappeared, and then these points of light poured into the Book of Sages floating in the air.
Wang Xiaoyu nodded lightly towards the disappearing golden figure, indeed if he said to the figure, because of the sage, to do what the sage should do, that kind of sage is not a sage at all.
Sighing softly, he had nothing to say about the failure of this trial, and he could only be blamed for knowing too much because of rebirth......
……
……
At the same time as Wang Xiaoyu was trying, Kozmo appeared in the world of the "Scourge of the Dead" two hundred years ago and turned into an ordinary skeleton.
And in another unknown world, a monkey covered in red hair also opened its eyes...... (To be continued......)
