Chapter 1: A Strange World
The sky was gray, and the iron-gray clouds seemed to be within reach overhead.
A flock of giant ghoul birds chirped through the clouds and looked down at the town at the foot of the hill, which for years had become the main food supply for the scavenging beasts in the surrounding area.
The town is huge, and there are quite a few ragged men and women in it, and they are scattered in every corner of the town.
Chu Nan sat in the corner of a half-collapsed wall, and he had several wounds on his body, which were left from the previous fight with the people here for food.
Licking his chapped lips, Chu Nan felt bitter in his heart, and woke up to find that he was in this hellish town, and his body was no longer the original body, he was unable to accept it five days ago to now desperately struggling to survive, and the memory of the original body began to recover sporadically, and he realized that all this was not a nightmare.
However, Chu Nan was willing that this was just a nightmare, and when he woke up, he was still the king of mercenaries who was known in the mercenary world of the earth.
However, there are no buts in this world......
In memory, this place is called the Seven Star Continent, one of the three continents controlled by the Brilliant Empire, and it is said to be the most chaotic continent, the three major human races, the natural enemies of the orcs, the vampire clan and the evil spirit clan, occupy half of the Seven Star Continent.
Among the three natural enemies of the human race, the orcs like to eat the human heart the most, and the blood race loves to suck human blood the most, but the evil spirit race relies on absorbing the essence of the human soul to strengthen its own body.
And now, the hellish town where Chu Nan is located is a stronghold of the evil spirit clan to keep humans in captivity, they will capture the humans here in captivity, but only supply a limited amount of food every day, human beings kill each other in order to survive, and the souls of human beings who have carried out bloody killings will have a kind of bloody anger that the evil spirit race likes very much, which is a delicacy that the high evil spirit race enjoys very much.
Chu Nan shuddered when he thought of this, even if it was not the same world, but as the same species, he was shocked and irrepressible anger that human beings had fallen to the table of other races.
It's a dark world, and it's a crazy world.
But fortunately, human creativity has never been lost, and the humans of this world have developed the Xuanli civilization to an incredible point.
Human beings not only rely on Xuanli to strengthen their bodies, but also use Xuanli as an energy source to create a Xuanli array, different types and levels of Xuanli arrays act on Xuanli guns, Xuanli cannons, and even Xuanli spaceships, which is the main reason why human beings still occupy a vast territory and create a powerful country surrounded by the three natural enemy races.
It's just that the predecessor of Chu Nan's body was just an orphan struggling at the bottom of the misty wasteland of the Seven Star Continent, and some memory fragments were the life of sneaking and abduction for more than ten years, and he was caught by a team of evil spirit soldiers not long ago and sent here to be raised in captivity.
"Woo...... At this moment, a terrifying cry came from the sky, and the scavenging animals hovering over and around the town fled in horror into the distance.......
However, the reaction of everyone in the town was the opposite, and in an instant, their eyes were red, drooling from the corners of their mouths, and their throats let out a beastly roar.
Chu Nan also stood up, he knew that it was the dragon bird domesticated by the evil spirit clan that brought today's food, and the captive humans in the town had developed a conditioned reflex, and they were ready to compete for food as soon as they heard the call of the dragon bird.
Chu Nan felt sad, but he quickly shook off this emotion and began to move, only if you survive, you can only have this spare time to be sad.
Soon, several huge black shadows appeared in the air, these wings can reach 100 meters, the whole body is covered with hard scales, and the long beak of several feet long is full of hard teeth, just like the dinosaurs in the age of the earth's dinosaurs, the mysterious beasts are dragon birds, they are second-level mysterious beasts, their sharp beaks and claws can even break steel and cut iron, ordinary humans have no chance to resist in front of such a mysterious beast.
It was not easy to judge the landing point of the dragon bird dumping the food on his back, but it was obvious that Chu Nan was not wrong, and when he stepped on a low wall under his feet and jumped high, a dragon bird happened to dump the food on his back in the air.
Chu Nan scooped up his hands and stuffed the food into his clothes, and at this time, hundreds of people had surged up around him in an instant.
Chu Nan stepped on a head and rushed out to the periphery with his strength.
Fortunately, there is no greed, otherwise, Chu Nan would be buried directly in the crowd, and the people who go crazy for food are more like beasts than beasts.
Just when Chu Nan was about to find a hidden place to fill his stomach, suddenly, an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, and his body instinctively moved to the side.
"Huh"
A sharpened wooden stick stabbed through his waist, Chu Nan didn't turn his head, his feet bounced up like springs, and a whirlwind leg kicked back.
"Click"
Behind Chu Nan, a middle-aged man with a bare body turned his head one hundred and eighty degrees behind his back, and his neck was directly kicked off, and a large amount of blood was gushing out of the seven orifices.
Chu Nan turned around and glanced at the corpse that was falling to the ground, and swept over the group of people who were about to move not far away with a blade-like gaze, these were all people who were a little slower and couldn't squeeze in to fight for food, so they took the idea of those who were fighting for food.
However, Chu Nan's kick showed his extraordinary strength and ferocity, and there was a lesson from the past, these people gave up under the balance, and Chu Nan was not the only one who grabbed the food, and then looked for a target.
Chu Nan found a hidden place and took out the food he had just grabbed from his arms, which were two pieces of jerky, three breads, and a small bottle of wine.
Chu Nan devoured it, the taste of the food was dry and a little unpleasant, but he simply ignored it, when he was a mercenary on the earth, in order to survive, he had eaten rats and snakes raw, and even eaten the bark of tree roots, and although it was cruel now, he naturally accepted and adapted.
If you don't adapt to the environment, you will quickly be eliminated by the environment.
When Chu Nan was halfway through his bite, the muscles of his whole body tightened suddenly, and the whole person was like a leopard ready to attack.
In this semi-hidden space made of several large stones, an old man with gray hair, thin bones, and stains came in, he covered his chest with one hand, and slowly moved in with the other hand on the stone wall.
Chu Nan found that between the old man's fingers covering his chest, blood was constantly seeping out, obviously, he was seriously injured, and it seemed that he would not last long.
It's just that although Chu Nan didn't move, his nerves didn't relax in the slightest, in this purgatory-like place, sometimes he couldn't trust the judgment of his eyes at all, even if it was a six- or seven-year-old yellow-haired child or a weak woman, when they didn't lose their breath, they must not let go of their defense.
