Chapter 2: Ancient Legends
There has been such a rumor on the Gods and Demons Continent, thousands of years ago, there were no strange beasts in the Gods and Demons Continent, and there were no people with special abilities, people lived a simple life, men farming and women weaving, no fighting, no killing, until one day, a young man stepped into the Gods and Demons Continent. This man's name is Seventeen, and he wears a hat that covers his entire face all day long, and no one knows his real name, and Seventeen stayed for a while in a village called Jingxin, and Seventeen usually speaks little, and does not have contact with people outside, and often locks himself in his room, and no one knows what he is doing.
That night, the people of Jingxin Village held an annual bonfire party outside the village, which is a custom of the people of the Gods and Demons Continent to celebrate the harvest of the year.
In July, the winter is about to begin, the cold wind is whistling, which does not affect the enthusiasm of the villagers in the slightest, this night, is destined to be an unforgettable night, since then, every year on July 15, you will see the paper money burning at the crossroads, which is a way to commemorate the ancestors, and at the same time, also to pay tribute to the seventeenth.
That night, Seventeen, as usual, locked himself in his room, it seemed that Seventeen didn't like the world outside, there were a few half-grown children in Jingxin Village, these children were used to indulgence on weekdays, and were rarely restrained, children's curiosity has always been very heavy, and a few children took advantage of the adults to celebrate outside the village, and secretly approached Seventeen's house.
In their eyes, Seventeen is a strange man, and a few children have broken papier-mâché windows, and through the windows, several children see a scene that they will never forget in their lives. Half of Seventeen's face was completely decomposed, Sensen's white bones were exposed, and half of his neat teeth were clearly visible. Several children had seen such a scene, they were frightened, and one by one they scrambled to escape from the place, and one of them accidentally knocked down the flower pot placed outside the window, and the sound alarmed the seventeen in the house.
Seventeen sat up from the chair suddenly, the children had run away, and Seventeen followed all the way until they caught up outside the village, where the villagers were holding a bonfire, and when the villagers saw Seventeen's appearance, they picked up torches and tried to drive Seventeen away, and some of them threw stones at Seventeen. In Seventeen's opinion, all this is normal, maybe he has to leave this village again, I don't know where else he can go, Seventeen raised his arms to block his head, and silently turned to leave, but at this moment, a villager with five big and three thick hugged Seventeen, this person is called Lao Si, formerly known as Li Wei, known as Li Daring.
Soon, Seventeen was tied up and thrown into the crowd. "Burn him!"
"Monster!" For a while, all kinds of shouts and curses came, and Seventeen was silent, and a line of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes. Seventeen was carried to the stage by the villagers, which was supposed to be the stage for the party, but now, it has become the place where Seventeen is buried. Seventeen raised his head and stared into the distance, taking a deep breath, and from beginning to end, Seventeen didn't say a word.
The villagers raised their torches and set the stage on fire, and in the firelight, Seventeen's eyes were closed, and his half-rotten face looked particularly strange, and just when everyone was relieved, there was a sudden sound in the sea of fire, and the voice sounded extremely cautious, like the call of death in hell, and the villagers retreated one after another.
The flames burned more and more, and then suddenly the wind blew violently, and the flames were blown by the wind, and the body of Seventeen was burning with raging fire, still maintaining the posture of looking into the distance, and the villagers were about to leave, at this time the flames suddenly rushed towards the crowd, and several villagers who fell behind were engulfed by the fire at that time, and soon, the villagers affected by the fire turned into a pile of ashes, and in the sea of fire, out of a man with half of his face seriously rotten, and his body was still burning with raging flames.
The villagers were frightened and ran towards the outside of the village, there was a vast sea on the outskirts of Jingxin Village, and the only way to the outside was behind the village, and the panicked villagers couldn't care so much at this time, they just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible. The man who came out of the fire came to a villager in an instant, his hands turned into sharp claws, and he pierced his chest raw, and the bright red blood splashed on the man's body, and the flames burned even more vigorously.
The man harvested the lives of the villagers like demons coming out of hell, and within a few moments, a small half of the hundreds of villagers had already died at the hands of the man, and they did not understand why they would cause death for themselves.
At this time, Zhang Lei suddenly stopped talking, I was just about to speak, Zhang Lei pressed me to the ground, followed Zhang Lei's gaze, a group of giant ants appeared under the waterfall just now, looking at the number, it is estimated that there are hundreds.
"Can you fight?" Zhang Lei asked me, as he clenched a fist-sized stone in his hand. I nodded noncommittally, now this situation, I'm afraid there is no choice, behind him is a strange rock phosphorus patrol mountain, its height, about thousands of meters, where we stand, is the protruding part of the mountain, the waterfall flows out of the hole under the mountain, below is a flowing pool, the giant ant is trying to climb up around the pool.
Seeing that we were about to be surrounded by hundreds of giant ants, Zhang Lei spoke: "Listen, we must cooperate now, I saw just now that you fell from a height of 100 meters and didn't do anything at all, your ability should be above me, I will cover you with stones on it, you go down to open the way, and rush out of the road at the first opportunity, understand?"
I nodded, now that I have come to this strange world, I am not familiar with everything here, although Zhang Lei's idea may make me face a desperate situation, but I have no choice, the only thing I know is that my body has indeed undergone some kind of change, and if I want to figure out what has happened to my body, actual combat is undoubtedly the best choice.
I flew down the cliff and stood in the giant ant colony, the ants soon found me, and raised their forelimbs thicker than my thighs to attack me, I rolled around on the ground, dodging the attack, the movements of the ants gradually slowed down in my eyes, I took advantage of an ant before he had time to retract his forelimbs and blasted out of the luke, this punch, directly broke its metal-like limbs, the ant body that lost one leg lost its balance, and then there was no ability to attack, found the flaws of these creatures, and the fight became more handy, and after a while, the ground was already full of giant ant corpses。
Finally, after the ants were eliminated by me, Zhang Lei came down, I walked to the waterhole to rinse my body, found a place to sit with Zhang Lei, and continued to listen to him tell the legend of a thousand years ago.
