Chapter 1: Horror in the Mist
"Playing dead?"
"Very well, then let's die!"
Dangerous!!
Yan Xing, who had been on the verge of death all the year round, was awakened by the intense murderous intent that came to his face, and he didn't have time to think about the situation in front of him, so he instinctively rolled on the spot.
Bell β
The spear stabbed down suddenly, and the pitch-black ground struck with a crisp hum, and the torn air pressure was like a sharp blade, slashing at Yan Xing's cheek, and the red blood immediately flowed.
Pain! Yan Xing frowned, this pain not only came from his cheeks, but also concentrated in the back of his head, as if he had been hit hard by a blunt object, his brain was buzzing, and the pain of being spiked through his skull before was completely different from the pain.
'I'm here, reborn!? β
Yan Xing's pupils shrank, and he looked at his skinny body, and the small palms were covered with scars, which were obviously not his body. And he was also very sure that his wrenched head was in the mud, and with the medical conditions of the world, there was absolutely no possibility of healing.
Through rebirth? Borrowing the body to resurrect the soul? Still is......
Could it be that my wish before death has really come true?
Yan Xing's mind raced, and he was extremely quick to adapt to the current magical situation, thanks to his various insights.
In order to pursue the martial arts and explore the mysteries of the evolution of life, Yan Xing poured all his body and mind into it. Whether it is myths and legends, or strange stories, or even novels full of various imaginations, I have read a lot of miscellaneous books, learned a lot of knowledge from all walks of life, and have extremely rich reserves of common sense and strong research ability.
It's a pity that everything was exhausted and countless manpower and material resources were expended, and a cruel fact was finally determined: in the Blue Star World, there is no extraordinary power, human beings are weak, and the cultivation of the physical body is limited, and the so-called "martial arts" have no way forward at all.
"Huh?! Boy, I didn't see that you were as timid as a mouse, but you were very responsive. β
The strong man like the iron tower, his whole body was wrapped in silver armor, he looked extremely burly, his eyes under the helmet looked down indifferently, a faint trace of surprise flashed, he raised his arm lightly as he spoke, moved the spear to aim at the head of Yan Xing, and a fierce aura exploded.
"Hehe, try another one?"
Treating human life as a mustard, he doesn't care that the person lying in front of him is just a teenager, and he kills when he says it, what kind of world is this? It's so cool!!
Dangerous! Dangerous!!
Yan Xing's pupils contracted like needles, his heart beat like thunder, and the extremely fast blood filled his little face red, and the extremely terrifying sense of crisis was like a cold current blowing by, and goosebumps were raised high.
Damn it! This new body is so weak, its strength is scattered, its qi and blood are lost, and it is typical of malnutrition, how can it resist this fatal blow? The reason why I was able to dodge it before was just because of the other party's carelessness.
Are you going to die again?
He had just been born in this world, and it seemed that there were still traces of the extraordinary in the magical world, and he had not had time to explore it, so he died, how unwilling!!
Speaking of which, if he hadn't already had the will to die, it would have been impossible for him to break through his life with that guy Storm Bear.
Yan Xing's mentality, with the death of the previous life, has quietly changed, and now he doesn't want to die.
Roar, roar, roar!
He roared in his heart, but his thin body seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move, and could only watch as the sharp tip of the spear continued to enlarge, and the cold cold light of the metal was reflected in the depths of his pupils.
"Slow down!!"
Boom β
A black shadow shot out from not far away, and the extreme speed even caused a piercing sound of breaking wind, poof, and the sound of the spear piercing through the flesh was slightly dull.
Tick!
Yan Xing only felt a scorching breath rushing to his face, and then the sharp tip of the spear stopped half an inch away from his eyes, and a drop of bright red blood fell heavily on his pupils.
Who is this person? Why did you give your life to save him?!
"Ahem, my lord's anger, this little guy is on the city wall for the first time, and he was distracted by the fog, so he froze in place, he never offended you, my lord!"
"Please also suppress your anger, it is important to repair the city wall right now, how can you miss the right thing because of a child?"
The voice was calm and powerful, full of vicissitudes, and the spear that ran through his body didn't seem to bring him the slightest pain.
Yan Xing blinked, squeezing the blood out of his eyes, and when his blurred vision recovered, he finally saw the face of the person who saved him.
The beard is unshaven, the eyes are calm and deep, and the muscular upper body is hung with a few strips of rags at random, almost red fruit. The red skin seemed to be braving a heat wave, and the goose feather snowflakes falling from the sky were evaporated into a trace of mist before they could touch the surface of the body.
What a powerful body!!
Yan Xing was secretly shocked in his heart, he was proficient in the structure of the human body, and naturally understood that this heat wave was caused by the rapid flow of blood in his body, and the physical body of the person in front of him had faintly surpassed him in his previous life.
In this case, how powerful should the silver-armored man who is called "adult" be?
Sure enough, this world is not simple!
Thinking of this, Yan Xing only felt a hot current surging in his heart, but now that he was in danger, he had to try his best to suppress the urge to look up to the sky and howl.
"Oh?"
The silver-armored man raised his eyebrows, glanced at the corner of his eye, and found that many strong men in ragged clothes were staring at him with inexplicable eyes, and his heart moved slightly, it seems that this little guy is of extraordinary significance to these minions.
Hehe, is it the hope of freedom in this child? Ridiculous, pathetic!
A group of humble city slaves, in this life, are destined to die in the process of repairing the city wall, turning into nothingness in the fog, and the noble thing of "freedom" is also something that you can covet!?
"You're right, the matter is at stake, and I'm not going to pursue this little fellow's offense."
Poofβ
As the armored man spoke, he nonchalantly drew his spear and brought up a string of blood flowers. In his opinion, these city slaves will die sooner or later, and there is really no need to cause a riot for this trivial matter.
If he delays the right thing, the city lord will blame him, and his head will not be guaranteed.
"Hey, thank you, sir!"
The big man grinned, revealing blood-stained teeth, and although his expression was flattering, his eyes were extremely calm and gloomy.
Under Yan Xing's surprised gaze, the pierced chest of the big man squirmed, and the displaced heart and other organs quickly returned to their positions, and the muscle tissues were tightly together, immediately stopping the flowing blood.
What a powerful physical control, are the people of this world all monsters? Yan Xing couldn't help but freeze in place.
"Stinky boy! Why are you still stunned?! Get up for me, huh, look at you bear-like bear! β
The naked man looked annoyed with hatred of iron and steel, and lifted Yan Xing up in a few steps, away from the silver-armored man, and disappeared into the crowd.
"Boy, stabilize your mind, don't go wrong again, remember what I told you......"
As soon as he walked into the crowd, Dahan's demeanor softened, his tone was soft, and he patted Yan Xing's head as if comforting, it was obvious that the scene just now was just for others to see.
What words?
Yan Xing's heart was at a loss, he had just "crossed over", facing the crisis of death one after another, and only now did he have time to worry about his situation, and his mind was empty, and he didn't seem to inherit the memory of the previous one.
In this way, the situation is a little bad, and he can't tell the truth to the big man, even if he says it, I'm afraid he will think that he can't stand the stimulation and is so frightened that he goes crazy.
"Oh, I see."
Yan Xing nodded in agreement, thinking about it, now he can only take one step at a time, revealing his identity as a traverser, it is undoubtedly self-defeating, and this kind of secret is better to rot in the bottom of his heart forever.
"That's fine."
Dahan nodded, he was keenly aware that something was wrong with Yan Xing, but he only thought that he was frightened and uneasy, so he didn't think much about it.
Yan Xing desperately wanted to know what kind of world he had arrived.
At this moment, I finally had the opportunity to observe the external environment, a pair of dark eyes, dripping and turning, looking around vaguely with the corner of my eye.
I saw that the place where I stood was a magnificent building with a pitch-black body, slightly shaped like a city wall, but it was extremely wide and flat, nearly 100 zhang wide, and the length spanned extremely far, and there was no end in sight.
Yan Xing once again confirmed that he had crossed over, there was no such architectural wonder on the Blue Star, it was the Great Wall, which was nothing compared to it.
The snow was falling heavily, greatly obstructing the view, and all that could be seen was the nearby wall covered with silver veil.
Yan Xing's eyes narrowed slightly, and the silver-armored man he regarded as an invincible and powerful enemy was actually more than one, and people in the same dress were scattered scattered on the city wall, no less than hundreds, all of them exuding a terrifying aura, seemingly careless, but faintly forming an encirclement.
What is the important thing in their mouths?
Such a majestic city wall, with many strong men, is guarded against......
A trace of throbbing appeared inexplicably in Yan Xing's heart, and he turned around slightly stiffly and looked out of the city wall.
Rumble!!
An eerie roar sounded in his head, and his pupils dilated, reflecting a patch of scarlet.
Fog!
The crimson viscous crimson is like a living thing, constantly wriggling and twisting the scarlet mist!!
The terrible crisis, the grotesque sense of insanity, the constant roar in the heart, makes people almost want to vomit.
Just one glance actually caused great physical discomfort.
Whew!
Yan Xing gasped for breath, and it took all his strength to take his eyes off the mist that he wanted to devour, and before he knew it, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
What the hell is this!?
Bell β
No one was puzzled by the punishment, and a crisp bell suddenly rang in the nearest city tower, and when they heard this, whether it was those strong men in ragged clothes or strong men in silver armor, they all became solemn and involuntarily stood up straight.
"City Lord Order!"
"The city walls from Jia91 to Jia96 have a large erosion gap and need to be repaired immediately."
"The supply of rune armor has been distributed, and all the silver armor guards will cooperate to supervise, and the repair task must be completed, and there must be no mistakes!!"
Bang!
A boxy metal box shot out of the tower, falling heavily and smashing up snowflakes in the sky.
"Whoa!"
The silver-armored guard bowed in order, then stepped out of the two men, lifted the heavy metal box, and walked to the edge of the city wall.
Bang dang!
The box was opened, reflecting a dazzling golden light, and Yan Xing couldn't look at it, so he could only look away.
Gollum, is it supernatural power?
When Yan Xing was in a trance, those ragged men had already consciously lined up, walked to the metal box with a numb expression, stretched out his hand to take a ball of golden light, and then slapped it on his chest.
Buzz β
The golden light explodes, and a thin film immediately covers the surface of the skin.
"Boy, this is the Golden Light Rune Armor, the lowest level of body protection that can save the wielder from the fog for a quarter of an hour."
"Alas, this is the fate of our city slaves, but you kid is different, different, you don't deserve to die here......"
"Stinky boy, remember what I told you! One chance! β
Yan Xing was held by the big man and walked at the back of the line, hearing this solemn instruction, although he didn't know why in his heart, he could only nod his head again and again.
"Uh-huh, I see!"
"Hehe, you kid, I hope to succeed, at least you, have witnessed our efforts."
Dahan shook his head, with expectation in his eyes, he held Yan Xing's big hand, and subconsciously tightened it.
The line was very long, and Yan Xing craned his neck to watch, only to see one by one sturdy men who had received the golden light, holding a pitch-black metal plate in their hands, and jumped off the city wall without hesitation, jumping into the terrifying red mist.
It turns out that this is the so-called business!
Yan Xing frowned, through the wisps of information, he had roughly understood the situation he was facing, there was a great terror in that fog, and he still hadn't gotten rid of the crisis.
Woowoo woo β
The influx of the crowd was like boiling oil pouring water, and the crimson mist suddenly reacted violently, twisting and wriggling, emitting a strange whimpering and humming.
"Ahhh
"Noβ"
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The terrible wails and roars kept coming from the mist, and Yan Xingwen's brows jumped, it was hard to imagine what kind of terrible things had happened to these tower-like men to roar in despair.
Knowing that he was going to die, why didn't he rise up and resist?
Yan Xing couldn't understand, these strong men don't look at their ragged clothes, like beggars, but their strength is not weak, and they are slaughtered at this time, so there must be reasons that he doesn't know.
A quarter of an hour later, some people finally climbed back to the city wall, but all of them ended miserably, the broken hands and feet were still light, some people's skin was eroded, revealing their scarlet muscles that were constantly twitching, some people were spewing fishy dark green pus, some people knelt on the ground and screamed in pain, their hands opened their chests, and the exposed internal organs were covered with dense white worms, burrowing around......
Miserable! It's miserable!!
Even though Yan Xing was accustomed to seeing life and death, such a tragic scene still made his eyes tremble slightly.
"Boy, don't look at it, it's our turn."
Dahan took the golden light rune armor, slapped it heavily on his chest, held the pitch-black metal engraved with inscriptions, looked back at Yan Xing deeply, and then jumped forward.
Uh, wait!!
The corners of Yan Xing's mouth moved slightly, brother, why are you in such a hurry? At least teach me how to use this thing, and what exactly are you talking about!?
One thing after another is overwhelmed, like watching a flower, Yan Xing has no time to deal with it, he is just a weak chicken now, and he can't make an effective response, so he has reached a dead end.
"Huh? Boy, you wait on the sidelines. β
The silver armor guard who issued the talisman armor glanced at Yan Xing, and did not give the precious golden light talisman armor, but drove it aside with a little disgust.
"When you don't have enough people, you're on it."
There are a number of runes, but you can't let a thin child waste it, it's really not too late to let it be on top if there are not enough people.
"Next!"
I don't know when, from where, a group of strong men poured in, lined up to receive the talisman armor, and then jumped into the fog, the silence and order were filled with silent despair.
Although he was disgusted, he couldn't ask for it, and it was better not to enter the strange fog.
Yan Xing silently remembered the number in his heart, and only hoped that his life-saving benefactor could carry a quarter of an hour and return safely.
"What's going on? Why is this restoration progressing so slowly? There are not many city slaves left, do you want to ask for help with other city sections? β
Many of the silver-armored guards frowned, feeling that something was wrong in their hearts, and the erosion gap here was probably even more serious than they imagined.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the new batch of city slaves was consumed extremely quickly, and there were only a few people left except for Yan Xing. And those who survived by luck are also dying, and it is impossible to enter the fog for a second time in a short time.
Dead?
Yan Xing's eyes darkened, although he didn't know what his body had to do with that big man, but the life he saved just now was true, and he couldn't be indifferent when his benefactor died tragically.
If I don't die today, I will be punished...... Well!?
Smack!!
Yan Xing's expression changed slightly, and he looked intently, only to see a skeletal arm with a flickering metallic glow, violently sticking out of the mist and grabbing it above the edge of the city.
"Ahem! Boy ......"
It's the big man, he hasn't died yet, but at this time he is in an extremely bad state, only half of his body is left, the only remaining arm is still a metal prosthetic, and the head has also been corroded and half of his face has been corroded, staring at Yan Xing with one eye.
"Boy, remember my words, you must, you must live!"
Whewβ
A black shadow flickered through the mist, opened the illusory giant mouth, and took the remnants of the big man in one gulp.
"Uncle Lan!!"
Yan Xing's eyes widened violently, and he subconsciously shouted out the name of the big man, and at the same time, there was an incomparably fierce stinging pain in the depths of his brain, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and open his mouth, and complicated memories kept emerging.
He remembered, everything, Uncle Lan, and everyone.
"Hahaha, stinky boy, you must live well!!"
The man named "Lan", with expectations in his eyes, was completely engulfed in the fog in laughter.
"Uncle Lan......"
Yan Xing slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was calm, but he couldn't help but throb in his heart, as if it was the physiological instinct of this body.
He had fused all his memories and understood everything.
"I'm in trouble."
"Unconsciously, I have been burdened with a heavy kindness like a mountain, and it is useless to think about it, but it is important to get out of the predicament now."
"Alive?"
"I've already died once, and if I can live, I naturally don't want to die."
