Chapter 1 The wind and rain have not stopped, and the king has woken up

Next Chapter

It is late autumn in Tianqianguo, and it will enter winter in a few days, and the cold wind is bleak.

On the border, the years of fighting have just stopped, and the corpses on the battlefield have not completely decayed because of the cold, and they have all been thrown into a big pit.

An old scavenger is looking around for food, the scavenger is a common beast in the Tianqian country, it looks like a baboon without long hair, but its eyes have been seriously degenerated, the small one is surprisingly small, it can't see anything at all, and usually can only use its sense of smell to find food.

It was already not as strong as it used to be, it was out of touch with its migratory troops, the air was getting colder and colder, and with the instincts of the beast, it knew that a storm was coming, and if it could not find anything to eat, it might starve to death in the autumn.

It kept sniffing the air with its nose, looking for a glimmer of life for itself, sometimes turning over the grass, sometimes digging the ground, but there were only a few bugs, which was not enough for its large body to stuff between its teeth.

After a long time, it finally smelled a trace of blood in its nostrils, although this smell was no longer fresh, but for it now, it was the last straw, and it immediately dragged its old body to the source of the breath step by step.

Thunder flashed in the sky, and the rain that had been brewing for so long finally fell, and it was pouring rain from the beginning, as if the gods were also impatient for the sins of this world, which made the already cold autumn night, and the temperature dropped a lot.

Around the corpse pit, the resentment is overwhelming, and ordinary people dare not approach, but the scavenging beasts are different from humans, they are born to eat carrion, and they don't care about the so-called resentment on the corpse pit. When it stepped over the weeds and came to the corpse pit, some of them were only excited, and there was a dazzling light in the eyes of two bean-sized beans, and the hunger in the stomach was even worse because of the attraction of the smell of blood.

The corpses in the corpse pit had actually begun to decompose, but because the temperature was too low, the degree of decay on the surface of the corpse was not very serious, and the scavenger ran to the corpse pile in the torrential rain, opened its mouth and began to feast on it, and a mouthful of flesh and blood entered its stomach, and its old body seemed to have regained some vitality.

The scavenger who was only concerned about eating did not notice that after the torrential rain washed over the corpse, all the blood that flowed out of it converged in one direction in the corpse pile.

The source of the blood was the corpse of a young man, looking at the depth of the corpse, how could this corpse have been thrown here a year or two ago, but the corpse did not look decomposed in the whole body.

The blood water entered through his pores, and when it was discharged from the pores again, it had turned into clear water, and what was even more peculiar was that the scars on the corpse gradually healed in the process.

A flash of lightning swept through the sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap, and the scavenger who was feasting on it trembled in fright, looked up at the sky, and there was some fear in his eyes, and after a while there was no vision, he continued to bury his head in replenishing food.

In the pile of corpses, the corpse that had been absorbing blood suddenly moved, and in his chest, the heart that had not been touched for a long time began to beat slowly, and a trace of blood began to gradually appear on the pale corpse.

At the same time, the scavenging beast, which was devouring the corpse, also stopped, and in its nostrils, it smelled a wisp of fresh flesh, the kind of fresh flesh that it hadn't touched since it was old.

The instinctive impulse made it forget the danger that might exist in front of it, and also forgot the fact that it was already old, and kept sniffing the smell with its nostrils, and then searched in the direction from which the smell came.

Finally, the scavenger identified the source of the smell, and it became excited, and let out a low roar from its mouth, and stretched out its two large hands to pull away everything that stood in its way, and it could smell it, and as he dug it, it got closer and closer to the source of the smell.

Half an hour later, it moved a dry skeleton away, and finally saw its target, the corpse that was still bloody, exuding the breath of heartstrings and flesh, under the light of thunder and lightning, the original face of the corpse was also revealed, it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with a delicate face, and a childish spirit that had not been taken off, and the armor on his body had been torn, and he could only vaguely see that it was the armor of the soldiers of the Tianqian Kingdom.

The scavenger would not miss this meal because of the handsomeness of the corpse, and even opened its mouth and bit at the neck of the corpse, but at this moment, the breathless corpse's right hand suddenly moved, and pinched its neck.

"Whoa~" A wail, the old scavenger beast's head tilted to the side, already out of breath, but the corpse opened its eyes, the young man slowly sat up from the corpse pile, in his hands, the blood of the scavenging beast seeped out of the pores, all absorbed by the young man's palm, with the inhalation of blood, on the young man's arm, a strange pattern actually expanded by itself.

The boy looked around in confusion, as if he hadn't come back to his senses, and he didn't know what the situation was now, but when his eyes fell on the scavenging beast in his hand, which had turned into a dry corpse, a bad feeling suddenly appeared in his mind.

Scavengers, a low-level beast that mainly lives in the woods, scavenging on dead animals, usually in groups, ranging from dozens to a group, are usually docile and rarely attack humans, but if there are corpse wolves in the team, the group will become aggressive.

And the wail of this scavenger before he died just now seemed to be a message for help, the young man shook his head helplessly, and stood up with difficulty, now he only begged that the scavenger beast's partner was some distance away, and he could not hear this message, or that he had time to escape.

When he fled, the young man also picked up a broken long sword from the pile of corpses and held it, if he really couldn't run, he could be regarded as having some self-defense capital.

Although he had already used his fastest speed to escape, unfortunately, he hadn't run far before he vaguely heard a wolf howl behind him, it was a corpse wolf, and the sound of this wolf howl made his brows furrow tightly.

Where there are scavengers, there are not necessarily corpse wolves, but where there are corpse wolves, there must be scavengers, and scavengers recognize things by smell, and if the corpse wolf can devour the leader of the scavenging beasts, the smell of the leader of the scavengers will appear on the body, so that the entire scavenger herd can be controlled.

The corpse wolf used this method to enslave the scavenging beast to find food for it, and the young man's heart was secretly helpless, if it was his heyday, this kind of low-level beast, even if it was hundreds, he didn't care about it, but now the injuries on his body have not recovered, and the martial arts are not one in ten, and he is afraid that he will die in nine deaths and a lifetime against this group of beasts.

In the process of escaping, the young man has been silently running a book of exercises that he got by chance in his body, hoping to accumulate some unknown gas, this unknown gas was accidentally discovered in the process of practicing martial arts, with this gas, his strength and speed will increase a lot.

Moreover, his kung fu will also have greater power, which is completely different from what the old man told him about internal strength, as long as he can have some unknown gas now, he will have a greater chance of winning to face the danger behind him.

However, the sound of running closer and closer behind him told him that he might not have that much time to accumulate that mysterious gas, the young man frowned, and simply stopped his steps, the sound of running behind him was not very much, and it seemed that this group of scavengers did not have much size.

Holding the broken sword and turning around with a slash, he directly cut off the head of the scavenging beast that jumped up behind him and wanted to attack him with a sword, he began to kill people at the age of eleven, and he entered the barracks as a soldier at the age of thirteen, and there were not thousands of people who had killed, but hundreds, and he would not blink his eyes when he killed this beast.

The broken sword slashed and disemboweled, disemboweling another scavenger beside him, and the warm blood sprinkled on his face, which reminded him of the scene of the first killing, at that time, also in the woods, after being chased and killed for three days, he finally made up his mind and stabbed the sword into the killer's chest.

The warm blood gushed out and sprinkled on his face, but he was so frightened that he froze in place, he didn't dare to move for a long time, his head was blank, he couldn't believe that he had killed someone, and because of that moment of trance, his life was completely changed.

A roar sounded in his ears, which also pulled the young man back to reality, and hurriedly handed out a sword, which stabbed the scavenger to death, killing three scavengers in succession, but this was just the beginning, the figures running in the rain in the distance, and the wolf howl that had been roaring, were telling him that the battle was far from over.

The old wounds on his body were not yet healed, and some claw marks were added at this time, and under the washing of the rain, the blood that flowed out stained Wu Ming's body red, and his eyes were also dyed red.

He didn't seem to feel the pain, he kept fighting, and the scavenging beasts all fell at his feet one by one, and the strange pattern on his arm revealed a strange purple light.

Even the corpse wolf who was hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack was turned around and broke his neck when he rushed out.

The rain in the sky gradually stopped, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and a crescent moon hung in the sky to shine on the land, and around Wu Ming, there were twenty or thirty corpses of scavenging beasts.
