Chapter 2: The Dark Forest
There was silence and darkness.
Xu Sheng is in uncharted territory. Bursts of chill hit him from time to time, not only acting on his body, but also eroding "so cold"
There was only one voice in his heart, and the complete blocking of his vision made him feel no sense of security at all.
"Where is this?"
Xu Sheng asked with a shudder. Unfortunately, no one answered. In this deep, dark, elusive and strange space, only his voice was resounding and reverberating, sounding cold and miserable.
"Anyone?"
He asked again, but it was only a subconscious act, an instinctive act of people in extreme panic. In fact, he himself had a vague feeling that he would not hear any answer.
"Whew-whew-"
Suddenly there was a sound of wind in my ears, very small at first, but suddenly large, too fast, too urgent, too sudden, and too evil.
The already cold environment is once again three points cold. can't help but make people physically unbearable, Xu Sheng feels that even the soul is on the verge of collapse.
He gritted his teeth and used all the strength of his body to hold on, doing his best to maintain the concentration of his mental strength. He had a feeling that as soon as he relaxed, his soul would immediately go away.
You have to hold on to whatever you say!
Xu Sheng thought like this in his heart. However, the wind could not help him. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it blows so that people's spirits are sluggish and their bodies are staggering.
"His Grandma's"
Xu Sheng felt that he was going to be finished, and death was close at hand.
"Don't be, in this life, I haven't achieved fame, made meritorious achievements, I don't have glory and wealth, I enjoy bliss, I don't have the avenue of certification, and I don't have the feather flying immortals. Hugh said this, I don't even have a daughter-in-law. It's to live this life. ”
Xu Sheng scolded in his heart, his mood was depressed to the extreme, and he thought that no one would be smiling in this situation.
Just as Xu Sheng was scolding, the wind stopped. It's not completely gone, but it's so faint that it's almost impossible to count. The wind is really evil, it comes and goes faster. One moment it was still a violent wind, as if it was about to destroy the world, but the next moment it was almost gone.
Xu Sheng touched his chest, only to feel his heart shake, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Crackle"
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly appeared, as if it came from the endless void, and it seemed to explode in people's ears. A huge blue light flickered in the distant sky, and there was a slight light between the dark heaven and earth.
Xu Sheng looked at it through the brief and faint light, as if he was in a vast primeval forest. However, before he could confirm it, the blue glow vanished, and the little light that came with it vanished.
Everything is back to the way it was!
"Waiting"
Xu Sheng told himself. He didn't believe that the wind and the blue light were just accidental, he guessed that there must be some pattern in this, and the scene just now would definitely appear again.
Wait.
Xu Sheng thinks so and does so. The cold eroded his spirit and flesh from time to time, he wanted to fight, but there was no way, he wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to hide.
A subtle sound surrounded his ears, if there was nothing, it was a small air current, but it was not the strong wind that Xu Sheng expected.
I don't know how long it took, it seemed to be countless epochs, and it seemed like it was just a blink of an eye, and the wind sounded in Xu Sheng's ears again.
Sure enough!
After the strong wind, there was a blue light, and after repeating this several times, Xu Sheng was already sure that he was indeed in a dark and lonely vast and boundless primeval forest. And that blue light, Xu Sheng estimated that eighty percent of it was lightning.
His conjecture was soon confirmed.
A blue light burst through the air, crackling, and then a blazing fire.
A towering ancient tree has been struck by lightning!
Xu Sheng's heart moved, and he rushed towards the fire under the guidance of the firelight, his heart was full of longing for warmth and light.
What is amazing is that the road is extremely easy, and Xu Sheng did not encounter half an obstacle. Where is this mountain forest? It's clearly flat ground.
Xu Sheng ran on this "mountain forest" or "flat land", he tried his best and did his best.
He was fast, even for the first time in his life. Unfortunately, however, the fire burned faster than him, and before he could get closer, the light had already dissipated, and the surroundings were plunged into an eternal darkness.
"It's okay"
Xu Sheng explained to himself: "There is another time, I really can't wait for dawn."
He was right, and soon the "next time" came. Another burst of lightning, another burning fire, Xu Sheng didn't think about it, raised his breath, and rushed towards the fire like a hungry wolf pounced on a flock of sheep.
Still, it's a pity.
"His grandmother's" Xu Sheng scolded, his mood was furious to the extreme, and the ubiquitous chill took advantage of his emotions at this moment, and increased the intensity of the invasion.
"Ahh
He trembled and groaned, and had to lift his spirits again and force himself to compose.
......
One or two disappointments may not be nothing, and three or five setbacks are nothing but light and worthless for the strong-willed. But dozens of times of hard work has been fruitless, and I am afraid that except for those powerful people who are like gold and stone at the center of myths and legends, no one can be as calm as water.
Dozens of failures and blows have already made Xu Sheng's heart like ashes.
"That's it" Xu Sheng was really unbearable, he was still looking forward to the dawn before, but now he looks at the dawn? All that is left here is never-ending coldness and darkness.
"What if you're next to a blazing fire?" Xu Sheng asked himself. Sooner or later, the fire would fade away, and he himself was destined to be consumed by darkness and cold.
He had no hope left, and sat on the ground, hoping that the next galale would come soon, and that he would completely let down his guards, relax and sleep in the wind.
......
"Whew-whew-whew-'
The wind blew again, but Xu Sheng was still alive. But even though he is alive, if he compares it carefully, it is no different from being dead. He was dying and dying, and there was no doubt that he would die in the next cold wind.
"Crack!"
There was another earth-shattering noise, Xu Sheng closed his eyes, and this earth-shattering sound could no longer arouse his slightest desire.
However, it wasn't long before he opened his eyes and warmth "rose" beside him. The fire was lit and was right beside him, but only a few feet.
He smiled.
Crawling towards the not-so-grand flame with difficulty, little by little.
God seemed to be deliberately joking with him, and gave him hope for life when he gave up.
He no longer thinks about the cold and darkness after the warmth, he only thinks about the warmth of this moment, just a moment.
After a long time, he finally approached the firelight, looking at the beating tongue of fire, he felt full of vitality, and those lost vitality seemed to be returned.
"It's beautiful!"
Xu Sheng looked at the flame and smiled dumbly. There seems to be a world in the fire, and there are mountains, lakes, oceans, and all kinds of strange creatures, deserts, and birds......
He was so stupid that he couldn't tell whether it was true or false, he just felt like a dream. He couldn't help but stretch out a finger and touch the beating tongue of fire, and in just one moment, the world changed, and the darkness around him receded like a tide, and there was only a piece of light in front of Xu Sheng's eyes......
Then, he woke up in a cold sweat.
