A hundred years have passed, but for this tired planet, it probably doesn't even count as a nap.

100 springs, summers, autumns and winters, more than 30,000 alternating days and nights, sounds like a lot, enough to run through the lives of most people, but in this barren land, time seems to have lost its meaning.

Cheng Lin was not ready to stay here, but walked forward.

With every step, decades have passed.

And so he descended the hill and walked into the depths of the endless plain.

Day, night, torrential rain, snow and ice alternate...... He had to take an umbrella out of the spirit world and hold it open.

In this way, Cheng Lin walked forward for another three thousand years.

The plains were finally filled with new plants, but probably because of the topography, there were mostly dwarf grasses and few trees, but because of the climate, it was difficult to form a vast grassland.

"Click."

The shoes trampled on the branches on the ground, and Cheng Lin held an umbrella and walked leisurely on this empty and uninhabited surface.

Another 100,000 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Cheng Lin no longer remembers how many seasons he has experienced, let alone calculate.

All he knew was that in the deep night, the sound of insects sounded in his ears again, which meant that life had returned to the surface.

The "road" in front of him became a little difficult to walk, so he simply held an umbrella with his left hand, took out the sword with his right hand, slashed forward at will, and continued to move forward.

And the speed of time is getting faster and faster, and every step is a leap of tens of thousands of years.

The scenery in front of me gradually became clear from blur.

His mind kept reminding him of the time that had passed.

He didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Finally......

He stopped when he heard a strange message.

【…… The dragons favored by the heavens established a rough and primitive tribe, and in tens of thousands of years, the tribe evolved into a city-state, and then a city was born, and the era of dragon domination officially began.

Dragon?

Cheng Lin's heart moved, some memories in his mind slowly surfaced, and just as he was about to ask, he suddenly found that the surrounding scenery suddenly stopped changing, and he was in a rich forest.

Suddenly, he looked up consciously, and saw a huge figure flying rapidly in the sky.

Because of the sun, Cheng Lin regretted that he had not seen the appearance of the creature clearly, but he also saw that it had a pair of wings, and when it waved, there was a surging aura.

"Is this a dragon?"

Cheng Lin looked up with interest, but the other party didn't seem to notice his existence, and quickly moved away, and when it passed, a strong wind rolled up in the forest, and the beasts whimpered and surrendered.

[You saw the dragon and were a little curious, but it quickly left and died hundreds of years later, while you still stood on the river of time, quietly gazing at the planet]

[Although there were occasional conquests in the era of dragon rule, it was generally calm and more prosperous, and finally, with the establishment of the three-head system, the dragon royal court reached the most prosperous era in history]

……

……

The scene in front of Cheng Lin stabilized, and the wildly pulled timeline returned to normal at this moment.

The ethereal narration in my mind gradually became real.

The world calmed down, and he slowly put away his umbrella and sword, and began to look around.

Climate...... Probably winter.

Where he was seemed to be a forest, but the deciduous forest with no end in sight was rarely green, but covered in white.

It seems that it has just snowed heavily, and as far as the eye can see, there is calm snow everywhere.

"Woo."

The cold wind blew through the forest, and it also blew up a lot of white snow chips, which rose up and blew on Cheng Lin's face, making him subconsciously turn his head to avoid it, and immediately reached out and tightened his neckline.

He looked down and saw that his feet were sunk in the snow, and the snow was up to his ankles.

Not far from him, there was a small stream, which seemed to have frozen, and the forest could still hear the sound of running water below through the ice.

Time...... It was probably afternoon.

Judging from the position of the sun, it is about two o'clock in the afternoon.

On the gray sky, the sun was pale, like a discolored persimmon, Cheng Lin listened carefully, in addition to the sound of the wind and the water flow of the stream, he could also hear the faint roar of the beast hidden in the dense forest.

"Is this the age of dragons?"

muttered, Cheng Lin couldn't help but show a curious gaze.

"Where am I now? If we calculate according to the geographical location of the old era, I am still in the suburbs of Liao Province...... Of course, after so many years, I don't know if the earth's tectonic plates have changed, and perhaps, this is no longer the place I know. ”

Talking to himself in his heart, Cheng Lin looked into the distance, faintly, as if he had seen something that seemed to be a building in a certain direction.

The reason why it is as if it is said is that the jungle is indeed too much to block the view.

In addition, compared to the familiar high-rise buildings, he was not sure what the level of development of the dragon reigned in the era.

"Dragons aren't going to be scrambling science, are they?"

couldn't help but fantasize in his heart about the female dragon in the dragon laboratory wearing a white coat and red-framed eyes, and he subconsciously shivered.

[You look around and find yourself in a dense forest, you look into the distance, but you don't know where to go]

[Open the task system, please follow the prompts to complete a series of tasks, and after completing the deduction, you will get a reward]

[Mission (Part 1): Standing in the wind and snow, you feel cold and hungry, you are eager to find food to satisfy your stomach, please follow the cursor and find food]

The familiar information in his mind emerged, and Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, finding that this deduction task was unexpectedly normal.

Didn't make any fuss like the previous ones...... Fine.

Cheng Lin hooked the corners of his mouth, and when he looked up, he saw the pale green guiding cursors appearing on the snow, they showed the shape of arrows, but only the tip had a triangle.

The rest of the section is interrupted, with wide lines at equal distances, like marking marks on a road.

"Crunch, crunch."

Raising his legs, Cheng Lin stepped on the thick snow and walked forward along the guidance of the cursor.

After walking for about ten minutes, he finally saw a tree about seven or eight meters high.

I'm not sure what kind of tree it is, it's gray and abrupt, without leaves, but there are a lot of red apples on the dry branches.

Yes, Apple.

It has an "apple"-like appearance, but with a slight difference.

Considering that the program did not give its name, Cheng Lin could only call it that.

"Is this the tree species of the Dragon Age...... It's really strange, even though the leaves have fallen off, there are still fruits. ”

Cheng Lin found it interesting.

Standing under the tree, he raised his head, picked the one that looked the most cute, and then raised his right hand and bent his fingers to make a "flick" motion.

A small wind blade condensed and rushed up the branch, cutting off the stem of the fruit.

This is one of the "immature learnable abilities" he learned when he was in the first product, called "Spiral Cutting".

Although the lethality is pitiful, it is occasionally more practical.

"Bang."

Raising his hand and catching the fruit accurately, Cheng Lin squatted down, washed it with snow, and his nose moved, and he actually smelled a rich fruity fragrance.

"It's probably resistant, and the fruit that withstands the wind and frost is always sweeter......"

Cheng Lin sighed in his heart, took the apple, and hesitated slightly, "Just eat like this?" ”

Waited two seconds and got no response.

Cheng Lin shrugged, didn't think about it anymore, and took a bite.

"Click."

The teeth bite through the bright red skin of the fruit and make an intoxicating sound, and the sweet juice contained in the snow-white flesh flows into the mouth, activating the taste buds, and then swallowing the bitten flesh and entering the stomach pouch.

Cheng Lin couldn't help but squint his eyes.

This apple...... It's damn sweet!

With a sigh of admiration in his heart, he ate what he had in his hand after dividing it by two, but Cheng Lin was still unsatisfied, raised his right hand, and prepared to pick another one to eat.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong paralysis surging up all over his body, which quickly spread from his chest, and it took less than 1 second for the whole body to fall into a state of stiffness and numbness, and he couldn't control his body at all.

Cheng Lin hurriedly tried to use the aura to alleviate it, but this toxin seemed to be quite strong, and he couldn't do anything about it.

It just so happened that a gust of wind blew, and Cheng Lin immediately fell straight on his back like a piece of wood, and smashed into the snow.

The kernel in his hand gurgled and landed beside him.

At the same time, a narration came to his mind:

[You are poisoned]

【Congratulations on completing the mission (1)】

Cheng Lin: "......"

What is this plot unfolding?

The story of Snow White and the Poison Apple?

But I'm not a princess......

Lying straight in the snow, Cheng Lin wanted to cry without tears, he didn't expect this fruit to be poisonous at all.

This is obviously a mission guide, how do you say the mission?

He said that he was cold and hungry, and he was in dire need of food, so he came here to look for food, and he couldn't eat the food he found, right?

"No, maybe you can only complete the task by eating it, after all, I only got a hint that the task was completed after I ate it......"

Cheng Lin thought in his heart, quite speechless.

At this moment, his whole body was paralyzed, and he couldn't even command with his fingers.

Cheng Lin tried it in front of him, and found that the only thing he could control was his eyelids, and he could blink.

In addition, it is still possible to manipulate the aura in the body, and the spiritual power is not delayed...... This means that he can still open the spirit realm......

Confirming this, Cheng Lin calmed down.

"Obviously, this is definitely a conspiracy of the program, and perhaps, this is part of the 'plot', starting with my poisoning...... This is obviously the most reasonable guess, though...... How long am I going to lie here? ”

Cheng Lin shouted in his heart, but unfortunately he didn't get a response.

Fortunately, he has activated the title of "Lord of Blizzard" at this time, so he won't really feel cold, and tightening the neckline before was more of a psychological effect.

"Ugh."

Sighing deeply, Cheng Lin looked up at the sky helplessly.

Not to mention, lying in the ice and snow, looking up at this gray sky, there is something else interesting.

When Cheng Lin was looking at the sky in a daze.

Suddenly, he heard a sound, as if it were the cry of some creature, and the joyful howl of some beast.

Cheng Lin subconsciously wanted to turn on "synaesthesia" and use his ability to observe his surroundings, but before he could turn on his ability, he heard a brisk footstep quickly approaching.

Immediately, his vision was filled with gray sky.

Suddenly, a dog's head with a pink tongue stretched out and snorting and panting appeared.
