Chapter 1: The Savage World
"Cold! It's cold! ”
Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes, and above his head was a thick branch and leaf that was layered on top of his head, and the light spots through the leaf gaps pierced people's pupils slightly.
He turned his head with difficulty, his fingers caressing the rough lines of the bark beneath him, and suddenly he felt a biting cold, and a trace of wind blew the leaves, cutting the bare skin of his cheeks like a knife.
The sight is a lush, endless jungle, surrounded by ancient trees, old vines like dragons, dozens of people hugging thick giant trees abound, all kinds of plants that have never been seen grow strangely. The fresh and intoxicating air, inhaling it, makes people's internal organs and lungs indescribably comfortable.
With slacks, a white shirt, a chicken nest head, sleepy eyes, and a few eye droppings in the corners of his eyes, Lin Hao maintained a stiff posture, lying on the thick trunk and curled into a ball, not daring to move.
The light was a little dim, and there was a bird's nest between the forks of the tree beside his arm, Lin Hao looked at a few purple bird eggs in the nest stupidly, and a palm-sized purple bird finch looked at him curiously, bouncing at his feet, not afraid of life at all.
"What a place! Didn't I sleep in a rental house! ”
He woke up suddenly, stood up in a panic and tightened his clothes, reached out to touch the branches crisscrossing him, and looked at the ground hanging dozens of meters above his feet, only to feel dizzy, his body staggered, and he almost fell into the air.
"Damn! Kidnapped? Or is it a spoof? ”
Lin Hao grabbed the branch on the side to stabilize his body, afraid that he would fall to the ground and become a mass of flesh. His hands were strangled with blood due to the exertion of force, and he felt indescribably strange when he saw the red sun the size of a wheel in the sky through the gaps in the leaves.
He vividly remembers sleeping soundly for the first time in the months he was tormented by nightmares. No nightmares, no weird scenes......
A moment ago, Lin Hao was still lying on the soft sofa in the rental house and falling asleep, but as soon as he woke up, he appeared in the vast primeval forest and was hung on a giant tree hundreds of feet high!
Suddenly, the purple bird burrowed back into its nest with a thud, and its body shrunk into a ball.
The air was a little damp, and there were thick branches under the feet of several people hugging each other.
Lin Hao turned his head to look at the trunks of the giant trees with the thickness of several apartments around him, only to feel that things were incredible!
Thick aerial roots grew from the branches and hung down, sticking straight into the ground soil dozens of meters away.
On the towering tree opposite, a red squirrel as large as a Tibetan mastiff swept through the trees.
Suddenly, "Huh! A birdsong piercing the golden cracks came from high in the sky, and the sound shook for thousands of miles.
A huge shadow swept across the ground, and the terrifying aura was terrifying!
Lin Hao was pressed down on the trunk of the tree with a "poof", and the bones all over his body crackled, as if they were about to crumble into powder.
He looked up with difficulty and saw a scene that he would never forget.
In the sky, the giant eagle that covered the sky and the sun spat out lightning, and its sharp claws grabbed the colorful giant tiger of the mountain, spreading its wings thousands of feet wide and quickly slashing through the forest, and the huge pressure rolled up a roaring tornado!
The giant trees on the ground fell in pieces, and the radius of thousands of miles was in shambles.
Panicked beast roars erupted from all over the forest, and strangely shaped beasts whimpered and shivered on the ground.
Lin Hao's hair was blown around by the wind, his body trembled, and he watched the giant eagle disappear into the sky, and his fingers couldn't move under the huge pressure.
After a long time, he finally regained control of his body, and his entire back was drenched in cold sweat.
"It must have been a dream! That's right, it's a dream! Lin Hao's face was bloodless, and he was lying on the thick trunk.
Reaching out and pinching his thigh, he bared his teeth in pain for a moment. Lin Hao felt that the whole worldview had collapsed, and he must have gone crazy!
"Whew!" A ferocious beast roar woke him up.
Under the giant tree, the black wolf the size of a buffalo howled in the sky, disgusting saliva flowed between its sharp fangs, its murderous eyes stared at Lin Hao, its claws were impatiently scraping the rough bark, and each claw brought up large pieces of wood chips, as if it wanted to grasp the cracks between the bark and climb the tree.
One zhang, two zhang, three zhang......
The black wolf's paws clasped the protruding cracks in the bark, his eyes stared at Lin Hao fiercely, and a lot of saliva flowed out of his mouth.
With a "bang" sound, the black wolf fell to the ground hard.
"What to do? What a monster this is! ”
Looking at the huge black wolf that kept climbing towards the tree, Lin Hao felt that his whole head was about to explode, and his hair stood on end, only to feel that his feet were weak, he trembled and held on to the branch, and it took him half a day to muster up the courage to look under the tree.
The black wolf grinned with its hideous fangs, and kept climbing towards the giant tree, but the lowest branch was also thirty or forty meters high from the ground. It barely climbed about ten meters, and then fell to the ground again and again.
All of a sudden, smoke and dust rose everywhere.
"Poof!" The bark of the tree was cut open in a shocking deep crack, and the black wolf shook its huge head, grinned again, and continued to pounce on the giant tree.
Lin Hao's lips trembled, only to feel cold, his back was leaning against the trunk of the tree, and his heart was pounding and almost jumped out of his chest!
"Bang! Boom! The black wolf tried to fall to the ground many times, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and roared, stared at Lin Hao fiercely, and turned around unwillingly and walked into the dense forest.
Lin Hao's palms were covered with dense cold sweat, and he looked nervously at the black wolf in the distance, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Niang Xipi, thousands of feet of giant eagles? Can wolves climb trees and be stronger than oxen? "He felt that either the world was crazy or he was crazy.
Lin Hao is just a college graduate on Earth, from an ordinary family, and like thousands of job seekers, he is struggling in the big city, and in the past twenty years, his life has not had the slightest bright spot.
As if thinking of something, Lin Hao rolled up his sleeves frantically, there was a strange pattern on his left arm, similar to the Taiji diagram, there was a dot on each of the two halves of the divided circle, the original black dot turned gray, and the other white dot swam like a dragon and snake.
"You're the hell! Let me go back! I'm going back! Lin Hao suddenly frantically tore the skin of his arm, looking like crazy.
He has always had a secret in his heart, since he was electrocuted a few months ago, this pattern has appeared on his arm inexplicably, and he can't erase it no matter what method is used.
Since then, he has repeated the same nightmare every night.
The dream is a bizarre world, with different written languages and strange beasts.
There are warriors who split mountains and seas with one palm, there are strangers who sit on fire without hindrance, turn their hands to contain mountains and lakes in pots, and there are gods who catch stars and take the moon, and travel 100,000 miles a day against water and waves.
The incomparably real nightmare shocked Lin Hao was extremely shocked, and the terrifying catastrophe of the collapse of the sky and the earth made him suffocate again.
The million-foot-tall black bear roared angrily in the sky, the great supernatural power law turned its back to the sky and stepped on the green underworld, the dragon fought and killed the strong and the sky fell apart, the strategists calculated the world, the generals fought in the sky, and the murderers slaughtered the city and destroyed the country with a wave of their hands......
In countless magnificent dreams, Lin Hao was constantly killed by various fierce beasts and powerful warriors, and every time he experienced the killing of Shura, he would always wake up screaming.
"Whew!" The fallen leaves drifted by, and a huge bird resembling a peacock suddenly burst out of the canopy, and Lin Hao was taken aback.
"I'm going back! Go back! He frantically tore at the pattern of his arm, and for a while, he suddenly sat down on the trunk of the tree in a decadent manner, looking at the dense primeval forest around him with blank eyes.
"Calm down! Calm down! ”
After a period of crazy venting, Lin Hao slowly calmed down, stroked the pattern of his arm, and lowered his head to think carefully.
"Open Sesame!"
"Baby, baby, listen to me!"
Lin Hao tried to activate the pattern in various ways, chanting incantations, pressing the white dots with his hands, biting his fingers and dripping blood on the patterns...... Useless! Useless! It's all useless!
"Damn! How do you go back? Hiss......" After a while, Lin Hao's hand slapped the trunk of the tree, grinning in pain.
"Whoa!" Suddenly, there was a rustling of trees overhead in the distance.
Lin Hao, who lowered his head and thought about it, was shocked, and suddenly felt his hairs stand on end, and he raised his head and stared at the other side in horror, "What the hell?" ”
"Shhh The canopy of the tree that covered the sky and the sun suddenly appeared with a huge head like a car, the ferocious and tyrannical snake eyes were as big as a basin, shaking the head, and the vertical pupils stared at Lin Hao coldly and ruthlessly, and the snake letter hissed.
"This! This ......"
Lin Hao was so frightened that his soul was frightened, his hands and feet trembled and he retreated, leaning on the trunk of the giant tree with his back to death. "This tree trunk is tens of meters in the air around it, how to escape? No, we have to find a way! Can't wait to die! ”
Thinking that the giant python was moving like the wind, and he couldn't escape no matter what, Lin Hao felt a burst of despair in his heart.
"Hiss~"
The giant python coiled between the branches of the canopy, the body of the python as thick as a train swam, looming between the layers of tree trunks, the snake scales the size of the bucket bowl glowed with metallic luster, and the head of the snake, the size of the car, opened its bloody mouth and slowly crawled towards Lin Hao.
"Damn! Get back! Go back! ”
The python got closer and closer, and he could even see his frightened face in the reflection of the snake's eyes.
The terrifying aura pressed over, Lin Hao only felt that his hands and feet were weak, and he was so frightened that he sat down on the trunk of the tree, and pressed the white dots of the pattern with his hands.
The leaves rattled, the hundred-foot-long snake body of the giant python was coiled together as big as a hill, and bursts of fishy smell erupted from the bloody mouth, making people feel dizzy when they smelled it, Lin Hao hurriedly closed his mouth and nose, his eyes stared at the arm pattern, and cold sweat rolled out on his forehead.
"That's right! In Xianxia novels, the magic weapon is driven by ideas! ”
In the flash of light, Lin Hao suddenly remembered the novel he had read before, and couldn't help but be shocked, his head tried to visualize the pattern, as the fishy smell became stronger and stronger, the cold sweat on his forehead flowed more and more, and he found that he couldn't concentrate on it.
"Damn! Don't panic! Stabilization! Stabilization! ”
"Hiss~"
The giant python's blood-red snake pupils flashed with a tyrannical and ferocious light, opened its bloody mouth, and suddenly raised its front body high, and pounced on Lin Hao's body.
"Whew!" The howling of the wind startled the fallen leaves.
"My life is at stake!"
Gusts of wind and fishy smell came to his face, Lin Hao's heart was empty, and he couldn't help but close his eyes in despair.
With a violent sound of "bang", the giant tree shook violently, and most of the thick branches of several people were smashed by the giant python, and in an instant, sawdust splashed everywhere, and smoke and dust flew from the branches and leaves.
"Roar~" The giant python shook its head in annoyance, looked up to the sky and roared, its tail flicked around, and the criss-crossing thick branches broke everywhere and fell all over the ground.
In the huge canopy, countless strange-shaped birds fluttered their wings and fled in panic.
In the rental house, the slanted sunlight shines through the windows, specks of light shine on the floor, and messy socks and clothes are scattered everywhere.
With a "boom", a young man with a chicken nest head dressed in branches and leaves, sawdust and disgusting snake saliva suddenly appeared on the originally empty sofa.
It's warm, it's the feeling of the sun shining on your body.
"Sunshine? Does the underworld also have sunshine? Lin Hao sat on the sofa in a stiff posture holding his head, and time seemed to have passed for centuries.
After a while, he opened his eyes in horror, and his cold hands and feet slowly regained consciousness.
Looking around at the familiar and friendly furniture, Lin Hao's lips trembled, and tears suddenly rolled down, "It's good to be alive!" ”
