Chapter 9: Emerging Abilities

I want to be a genius, anything, and if I succeed, whatever kind of talent is acceptable, yes, whatever it is.

The wind howled, rustling the trees.

Under a giant tree, Xu Chen lay there motionless.

"Ah....... ”

As a painful groan came out, Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes, and the intense headache seemed to come from the depths of his soul, clear, difficult to suppress, and unable to relieve.

"Where is this?" Reluctantly opened his eyes and looked around, Xu Chen was surprised to find that he was in the wild.

It doesn't get any more dangerous than that.

Regardless of the headache, Xu Chen hurriedly sat up, the current human survival circle is limited to the city, out of the protection of the power grid, and the survival rate of ordinary people staying in the wild is almost zero.

"No, I'm going to find a place where there are people. Stimulated by the desire to survive, Xu Chen kept trying to stand, but his body was soft, and it was very difficult to do a normal action now.

After half an hour of struggle, Xu Chen really took control of his body, and his headache gradually subsided.

Unable to discern the direction, Xu Chen climbed a hillside and stood on a high place looking into the distance, trying to search for the location of the East Acropolis.

Fortunately, he was not teleported to a farther place, and now Xu Chen is only about twenty kilometers away from the East Acropolis, if he is lucky, he will be able to return to the East Acropolis tomorrow.

But, are you lucky?

With such a question, Xu Chen looked down at his ordinary self and looked at his empty hands.

"Me, am I lucky?"

After walking out of the gate of reincarnation, Xu Chen did not find that he had undergone any form of change in his body, himself, still the same self.

Neither Zhang Yao's smart mind, nor Mr. Pei's knowledge of martial arts kendo, nor did he have any flashes of inspiration.

Reincarnation, failed.

Although he survived, he did not get the power he longed for.

That's unlucky, isn't it.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but be disheartened, looking at the East Acropolis in the distance, Xu Chen couldn't help but ask: "I, do I have to go back?"

Instead of being an ordinary person all his life, perhaps, it is better to be eaten by a demonic beast here, at least it is more enjoyable this way.

"Isn't it just a pleasure for people to live? ”

The sky is clear, the breeze is gentle, and listening to the rubbing of the surrounding leaves, it is so refreshing.

"The air is so fresh. Is this the outside world, dying in such a beautiful place, maybe...... It's not bad. ”

However, thinking of this, the figures of the six realms of reincarnation flashed in Xu Chen's mind.

As if stimulated: "No, I can't die here, I want to go back! I can't die as an ordinary person, I can't just be an ordinary person, I want to live happily, not die happily." ”

Once again, Xu Chen's empty eyes returned to resoluteness.

"Do it again!" Clenching his fists, Xu Chen got up and looked into the distance, wanting to take in all the scenery, and a route back gradually became clear: "I didn't gain the ability this time, so what, it's a big deal to come again, I want to pass through the gate of reincarnation again." ”

With a sigh of relief, keeping in mind the planned route, Xu Chen strode forward and embarked on the road back to the East Acropolis.

Time passed, and soon, Xu Chen walked almost half the distance safely, but as the sky gradually darkened, he urgently needed to find a place where he could spend the night safely.

"Damn, is this tree even obscured by the moonlight?"

It was pitch black, Xu Chen couldn't help but get anxious, and after walking for a long time, although he didn't find a demonic beast, he didn't find anything to eat, there was no energy to replenish, Xu Chen was cold and hungry.

Fortunately, after a period of searching, Xu Chen saw a boulder in the forest that could barely shelter from the wind, curled up in the stone vortex, and covered himself with dead leaves scattered on the ground.

Cold, hungry, and tired, after a while, Xu Chen fell asleep.

At this moment, Xu Chen only hopes to sleep quietly and recover some physical strength, so that it will be possible to return to the East Acropolis before dark tomorrow.

However, God doesn't seem to want things to go so smoothly.

After Xu Chen slept for almost two hours, a bloody and foul smell came, and the sound of paws stepping on dead leaves became clearer.

"Not good!" As if under a fatal threat, just that murderous aura woke Xu Chen up from his sleep.

Slowly opening his eyes and looking around, Xu Chen hid under the pile of dead leaves, not daring to act rashly, he could only hope that the things around him were just passing by.

"Whew!" A heart-rending wolf howl came out, Xu Chen was extremely nervous, although he couldn't see the enemy's position, but he could feel it in his direction. And, it seems, there is more than one.

"Fly!" Just when Xu Chen was so nervous that he almost peed his pants, the boulder behind him let out a dull roar, and the position of the stone vortex was pushed hard, and a huge body was propped up.

"Huh?" Xu Chen was stunned, he didn't expect that the stone he was sleeping on would be a demonic beast.

Threatened by his life, the huge demonic beast that realized that he was exposed ran wildly. The trappers let out a roar and chased after them.

Only Xu Chen was left alone.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the predator's target was not himself, Xu Chen was overjoyed: "Oh mom, I'm scared to death." As he spoke, he hurriedly jumped out of the dry grass: "I can't stay here, I have to hurry up." ”

However, not long after Xu Chen jumped out of the pile of dead leaves, one of the hunters who was a little closer to Xu Chen twitched his nose, as if he had smelled something, his eyes were wide open, and his tongue was sticking out, so he directly gave up chasing the giant beast, turned his head, and rushed in the direction where Xu Chen left.

The monster ran wildly on all fours, approaching Xu Chen in less than five minutes, leaping forward, jumping in front of Xu Chen, blocking the way.

The sudden appearance of the demonic beast scared Xu Chen shuddered, only to see that this guy was two meters long, and his mane exuded a cold light, like iron armor!

"Woo......!" a low growl, and its mane exploded, making it look like it was alive and wide.

"Needle wolf!" Xu Chen was shocked, this kind of demonic beast is not uncommon, they often go out in groups to hunt and kill large demonic beasts together, because the mane on their body is harder than steel, it is both a defense and a weapon, if they are targeted, it is almost impossible to escape.

Although there is only one needle wolf, this is no longer something that Xu Chen can deal with.

In the past, there were only two things taught in the martial arts class. One is the presence of feeling qi. The second is pure physical training and martial arts.

If it is a first-level martial artist who has successfully induced qi and has cultivated for a period of time, he may still have the strength to fight in the face of a needle wolf.

But he who has not yet succeeded in breathing, can only do some three-legged cat kung fu, not to mention the strength of a fight, as long as this guy presses his body, he will be pierced into a sieve.

"Sniff, sniff!" The nose twitched vigorously, the needle wolf seemed to be trying to find something, and finally, a pair of fierce eyes locked on Xu Chen's left leg, and his greedy look was exposed.

Feeling the gaze of the needle wolf, Xu Chen subconsciously touched his left leg, half a small silver pill, lying quietly in that pocket.

It was this action that completely angered the needle wolf, as if someone wanted to get their prey, flew and pounced, and directly pressed Xu Chen to the ground.

"Ah......h

"Poof!" The huge mouth opened and closed, and a large piece of flesh on Xu Chen's leg, along with the half of the Recovery Pill, was torn off alive, and blood sprayed all over the ground.

"Goo!" swallowed the Restoration Pill, and the needle wolf let out an excited roar, as if he was very happy.

And the half-crippled Xu Chen, like discarded wrapping paper, was thrown on the ground at random, and the needle wolf turned around and left, never looking at Xu Chen again.

Pain!

Pain!

The strong mental stimulation made Xu Chen feel painful, and the pain of his body being torn impacted Xu Chen's last trace of reason.

The human body is exquisite, and when faced with unbearable severe pain, the brain will automatically stop working, allowing itself to faint and avoid this unbearable pain.

But, with a blurred vision, looking at the back of the needle wolf leaving, Xu Chen told himself that he couldn't pass out, and he had to bear the pain.

Because, if you pass out, you will never wake up again.

In a trance, Xu Chen still forced himself, and his dilapidated body slowly stood up with extraordinary perseverance.

"Whew......!"

As if summoned, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew around Xu Chen, and inexplicable black smoke emitted from Xu Chen's body.

"Woo!" As if sensing some threat, the needle wolf, who had already planned to leave, instantly turned around and glared at Xu Chen.

Can't faint!

Can't die!

That's right, it was this unyielding will that completely stimulated the power that had been dormant thousands of years ago, and in an instant, the black mist was shrouded in evil energy, and the ability was summoned, crossing the Nine Springs, and returning to the world.

Feeling this powerful energy fluctuation, the wanton and rampant needle wolf suddenly retreated.

Seeing that the needle wolf wanted to leave, Xu Chen dragged his injured body and ran wildly, fearless of sharp spikes, at a distance of about three meters from the needle wolf, he jumped hard, reached out and grabbed the needle wolf, and at the same time, the black mist followed, attached to the entire arm.

When the black hand attacked, the needle wolf reacted, didn't dare to look back, turned around and ran.

Xu Chen threw himself into the air, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and lay on the ground like a dead man.

And the needle wolf jumped sharply, jumped up the hill, and disappeared.

"Ha......! Ha......! Ha......!" After the needle wolf left, Xu Chen gasped for heavy breath, supported the ground with his only remaining arm, and tried three times before barely turning over.

Xu Chen, who was lying on the ground with empty eyes, slowly raised his black arm and said lightly: "It turns out that it is the talent of stealing things." ”

"Hah!" a wry smile: "It's not bad." ”

As soon as his hand flipped, the half of the Recovery Pill that had been swallowed by the needle wolf slowly slipped down and fell into Xu Chen's mouth.
