Chapter 1: The Purple Man

Next Chapter

"Ah......h

In the middle of the night, in a dark corner, suddenly there was a heart-rending sound, a wild beast-like scream, as if it wanted to roar out all the pain.

As time passed, the sound became quieter and quieter, but this did not mean that it stopped, and if you listened carefully, you could still hear a sporadic sound like a broken windmill, which lasted for nearly an hour before it gradually subsided.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a cover, the color was similar to that of this dark night, as if it could be merged with the darkness, and there seemed to be something under the cover, twitching slightly.

The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and a bright moonlight gradually appeared, and at this time, the mysterious object under the veil seemed to stop trembling, and the veil was slowly lifted as the dark clouds dispersed.

When the clouds had completely dispersed, the moonlight gradually moved to the place where the shelter was. Under the cover, a pair of slightly painful and tired eyes were looking at the moon, and in those eyes, there was a pair of purple pupils, which were slightly enchanting in the moonlight.

"I, Yue Yi, must live...... a resolute voice floated through the night.

The next day, with the first rays of sunlight appearing on the horizon, the silent city is bustling with people, and the streets of the city are bustling with people, and shops are opening their doors to welcome guests who are about to have breakfast.

The little two in the store began to busily wipe the tables and chairs, and the vendors on the street also began to shout. At this time, three mercenaries walked into the hotel.

"A few guest officers, what do you want to eat?" Xiao Er asked with a smile.

The three people in front of him, each of them are sturdy and fierce men dressed in animal skins, carrying a ghost-headed big knife on their backs, and at first glance they are people who often lick blood on the edge of the knife, but the little two here are not strange, and they receive the guests in front of them with a calm face.

"Give me three catties of dry leaf wine, and a few dishes of appetizers. A one-eyed mercenary said.

"Okay, a few masters sit down for a while, and they will come right away. Xiao Er immediately retreated.

"Hey, big brother, we're really unlucky this time, it seems that there is no way. Seeing Xiao Er leaving, a bearded mercenary sighed at the one-eyed mercenary and said, "And this barren forest can only be entered once every ten years, so it seems that we are not lucky to find that thing." ”

Hearing the bearded mercenary say this, the last mercenary with a scar on his face also shook his head: "I guess it's just a legend, otherwise it's been a hundred years, why hasn't anyone found it yet." ”

"We have been looking in the barren forest for a month, and today it happened to be closed, and the barrier outside the forest will disappear again for a month in ten years, since there is none, we will also withdraw, and the people who come to the barren forest are strong people from all walks of life, there will always be misfortune, and this city is too dilapidated. The one-eyed mercenary said lightly.

"Big brother, do you say that there is really an Aragami Tree in this world, what is there such a magical thing about the Aragami Fruit that makes so many people so crazy, this time in the Desolate Forest, I don't know how many strong people have died. The three brothers are also good fortune tellers, although they didn't find the Aragami Fruit, but at least they are still alive. The Scar mercenary said with palpitations, thinking about the killing that lasted for a month, even the mercenaries were a little frightened.

The one-eyed mercenary clasped his arms in front of his chest and said slowly: "It's only when I heard that after eating the Desolate God Fruit, I was able to get out of this continent after cultivating to the peak." Otherwise, even a strong man with peak strength would not be able to leave this place. ”

The bearded man smiled: "It should be nonsense to think about it, otherwise how can only people with strength like us compete for it, if there is such a thing, wouldn't those first-class sects and empires have come to look for it a long time ago." ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

The city is only five miles away from the barren forest, so it is called Araki Castle. A small city, which was originally sparsely populated, was bustled with the opening of the barren forest. According to legend, a hundred years ago, someone got lost in the barren forest, and found a sacred tree, and there was a fruit on the tree, and the person ate it when he saw this.

Some say the man retired, some say the man was killed, and some say the man left the continent. Whatever the reason, it is impossible to delve into it, but what makes people crazy is that since then, the entire continent has been looking for that kind of fruit, and that tree is called Aragami Tree by people, and the fruit on the tree is called Aragami Fruit by later generations.

Regardless of whether or not they can leave this continent, at least the strength can reach the peak, this reason is enough to make all the big forces red-eyed, plus there is an invisible barrier outside the barren forest, and many great powers have not been broken, so they are gradually covered with a mysterious color.

But after a hundred years of searching, those big forces have never found the so-called Aragami Fruit, so they gradually gave up, after all, no one can confirm the truth of that legend.

The weaker the person, the more eager he is to get the strength he gets for nothing.

Although the big forces gave up the search, those mercenaries and some forces, and idle people were happy to look for the Aragami Fruit, but in the end they found nothing, but because of friction, the two sides fought each other, and in the end many people were buried in the barren forest.

In the silence of the three of them, the street suddenly became chaotic, and the three of them looked closely, only to see that many vendors had avoided the people walking in front of them, and the sound of insults, ridicule, and screams instantly filled the entire street.

The people who came on the street were wrapped in a very dirty cloth bag, which was purple-brown and damp. When the three mercenaries saw that face, they instantly felt terrified, this was the first time they had felt hair on their bodies in all the years they had been mercenaries.

Beneath the man's long, fluffy and dirty hair was a purple-brown face, all of which were cracked, like purple ceramics about to break. What is even more worrying is that the crack also oozes purple-brown blood, and the blood drips onto the solid floor tiles, and a wisp of purple-brown smoke comes out, which is no different from the state of poisoning.

The man's exposed hands were also a pair of purple-brown cracked hands, and the most beneficial, the man's face had a pair of purple eyes, and his eyes were full of pain and determination, dragging forward with heavy steps.

Just when the three of them looked at the figure in front of them with solemn expressions, Xiao Er's voice interrupted their thoughts: "A few objective, your dishes are ready, this is three catties of withered leaf wine, please use it slowly." ”

"Hey, Xiao Er, do you know what happened to the purple man walking on the street?" the one-eyed mercenary asked.

The other two also pricked up their ears and listened, as if they were also curious.

Hearing the one-eyed mercenary pointing to the purple man on the street, Xiao Er's gaze shifted and said as if he was slightly frightened: "A few objective, the little ones don't know very well, it's just that this person appeared in Araki City a month ago, and it scared a lot of people at that time, if it wasn't for the city's lack of killing, it is estimated that he would have been killed." ”

"I see, it looks like poisoning, since it was a month ago, it is estimated that it was the first group of people to enter the barren forest, and there is no shortage of poison in the forest. It is estimated that this person's life is not good, he was bitten, looking at this appearance, the poison has been deep, but the strength is acceptable, and he can suppress the poison for a month, according to the current situation, it is estimated that it will not take long to die. Scar Mercenary said lightly.

The other two also nodded in agreement, the first batch of people to enter are generally strong people, since this person can suppress a month's toxin, it proves that the strength should be above the three of them, but it's a pity.

The three of them didn't pay attention to it, and began to drink and eat side dishes.

"Why haven't you left yet, you evil star?" shouted a vendor with both fear and anger, he had a lot of people buying things here just now, and when this purple man came, all the customers were scared away.

"You plague god, you must have screamed in the middle of the night, and my grandson must have been frightened by your voice to become mentally retarded. An old woman pointed at the purple man and scolded angrily.

"It's all like this, you should die quickly. ”

"It's just, it's been a month, and I really want to beat him to death on the spot. ”

"Beat, aren't you afraid of being poisoned if you touch it?"

"That's right, it's a broom star ......"

Listening to these taunts and insults, the purple man did not react, he picked up the food that had fallen on the ground because the previous vendor had scared him away, and then disappeared to the end amid the insults of the crowd.

The purple man came to a no-man's corner, gobbling up the food he had just picked up. With his appearance, it is estimated that no one will even give him begging for food, and he can only use scary ways to be lucky enough to pick up food like today.

He hadn't eaten for four days and was really hungry.

Biting the food, the cracked lips were too open, and a lot of purple blood came out, but at this time, the purple man couldn't care about the pain, and desperately ate the food in front of him.

As he ate, there was a mist in the purple man's eyes, and he muttered, "It's really a creation and a trick." ”

He, Yue Yi, became a genius general in that world at the age of eighteen, and he was able to fight well, and in just two years, he turned a small country into a big empire, but he didn't want to be suspicious of the lord of the country. After being exiled to the Banished Forest in the Forbidden Land of Man, he was also rounded up by a group of killers hired by the lord of the country.

The Banished Forest is full of bloodthirsty plants and monsters, and in addition to dealing with those killers, the devil knows how many deaths, deaths, and killings he has experienced in the Banished Forest.

After he killed the last killer, he collapsed from exhaustion, and before losing consciousness, he put the only purple wild fruit he had picked into his mouth to prevent himself from sleeping forever, and then fell asleep. When I woke up, I was already outside the forest, and it was the beginning of the nightmare.

The Purple Man seemed to put down the food in his hand and muttered to himself.

"It's not the world I've been in, it's a place I shouldn't have been. ”
