"Whew~Whew~~Woo~~"

The wind whipped the dust and rustled on his body, and the bright red on the pear tree seemed to be able to drip into Li Zhengyi's eyes.

"Is that what you're looking for?"

The sky was full of wild sand, the hills were surrounded by a gray wave of thatch, and the world in front of me seemed to be dead, and only the apple on the top of the pear tree contained alluring life.

Li Zhengyi didn't hesitate too much, except for this apple, in this stormy space like a knife, he didn't have enough time and energy to explore other unknown possibilities.

The pear tree is extremely tall, with its trunk alone being as tall as a two-story building.

In this space that seems to be dead, after countless years and the baptism of wind and sand, its bark has become harder and rougher, like burnt charcoal, and the top is full of ravines.

For some reason, Li Zhengyi felt as if his body had become much weaker again, and just hugging the trunk of the tree made him feel the slightest pain in his skin.

As he climbed upwards with all his might, the flesh on his knees, elbows, and inner thighs felt as if they were about to be torn off.

But he will not back down, and the faith in his heart remains strong. Even at the same time, the wind at the top of the mountain became stronger, as if it was deliberately hindering his movements.

Up! Up! There are no other distractions.

Li Zhengyi had never felt that climbing a tree would be so difficult, and the fierce wind and sand were like the hands of the devil, trying to tear him off.

He had to cling to the trunk with all his might, and it wasn't long before the unusually rough and hard bark ruined his gray skin.

Black blood stuck to the skin of the trunk, as if echoing the red apples on it.

But Li Zhengyi did not have the slightest idea of giving up, he still gritted his teeth and tried his best to climb up, allowing the pain to torture or temper his will and spirit.

Finally, it's going to be successful!

Li Zhengyi was now at the top of the gray mountain, and the wind that swept the coarse hard sand became even crazier. But the bright red apple was right above his head, within reach.

Reach out and grab it.

The expression was a little strange, the red apple was not as warm as this world.

Not only is it slightly warm, but it is also very comfortable to the touch, like holding a beating heart?

At the moment of holding the red apple, Li Zhengyi was surprised to find that the skin on his hand was gradually returning to its original color, and the color was still spreading to other parts of his body.

"Click!"

Just when he was slightly excited, the branches under his feet suddenly broke, and the gray wind excitedly swept Li Zhengyi and fell under the cliff on the other side.

In Li Zhengyi's sight, the tall pear tree on the top of the mountain quickly disappeared, but the red apple was firmly grasped by him.

In the process of falling at great speed, in addition to the howling wind, there seemed to be some strange murmuring sounds in my ears.

If I remember correctly, when he looked down with the trunk of a tree, he saw a strange rocky beach below.

If you fall, I am afraid that your fate will become miserable.

Are you going to die in this gray world without color and life?

But he had obviously already gotten those things, Li Zhengyi glanced at the bright red apple he was holding in his hand again.

Do you have to eat it?

Without hesitation, in the process of continuous falling, Li Zhengyi stuffed the apple directly into his mouth.

Boom!

Luckily, Li Zhengyi landed on a piece of sand between the cracks of the rocky beach, and he did not fall to his death.

Unfortunately, under the effect of the anti-shock, before he could bite it, the apple swallowed all of it in his mouth and stuck in his throat.

"Ahem! Ahem, ahem... Drink~"

Soon his face was flushed, and he fell to his knees on the sand, beating his chest incessantly, trying with all his might to swallow or spit out the apple.

But, how is that possible?

But a miracle happened suddenly, and Li Zhengyi didn't know if his throat and eyes were stretched out, or if the apple had become smaller.

The red apple, which had brought him back to life just now, quickly slipped into his chest and abdomen like a delicious candy.

"Ahem, cough, cough~"

It took another sharp cough and gasping for breath before he slowly recovered.

Li Zhengyi touched the position of the apple very strangely, and felt as if he had an extra beating heart, but it was just ......

When he was wondering, Li Zhengyi's attention was attracted by the strange scene that suddenly appeared in front of him.

There was no crazy wind blowing under the cliff like the top of the mountain, but it was extremely calm, like the black sea behind it.

He saw a strange cavern appear beneath the cliff in front of him, as if something was calling to him.

But the entrance to the cave was a large, demonic mouth, with sharp white teeth, as if it were about to close at any moment.

This strange scene made Li Zhengyi extremely hesitant.

But the call from the cave and the inexplicable sense of urgency in my heart grew stronger and stronger, and I felt like I would be trapped here forever if I didn't make a decision.

Glancing at the pitch-black sea behind him and the gray-brown cliffs in front of him, he thought to himself that he didn't want to stay in such a ghostly place.

Done!

Without the slightest hesitation after deciding, Li Zhengyi pulled his legs and rushed towards the strange hole, as if with some kind of mission.

But when he was about to arrive, he found that the entrance to the cave was about to be closed.

Even so, it didn't make Li Zhengyi have the slightest idea of giving up or retreating.

On the contrary, he ran faster under his feet, and I saw him rush forward two more steps, and then three or four meters away, he swooped towards the cave that was almost closed.

"Click!!"

The fangs on the entrance of the cave, like stone pillars, were almost closed by grazing the tips of Li Zhengyi's feet.

When the entrance to the cave was closed, the dim and gray light from outside could no longer shine through, and there was no other light inside the cave.

When Li Zhengyi rolled forward a few times and got up, he saw an item emitting a glowing yellow light in the darkness ahead.

Although the light source was not very strong, it was unusually stubborn, and in this dark cavern, a small light was firmly supported.

As Li Zhengyi approached, he gradually saw the item clearly.

It was a sword, a sword stuck in the cold rock.

Feeling his approach, the sword also began to tremble slightly, like an excited child, who didn't know how long he held on in the dark, and finally waited for his relatives.

The sword was golden all over, with a sharp blade and intricate square patterns engraved on the blade.

The hilt of the sword is columnar, and the head of the sword lattice is two golden discs, one large and one small.

This seems to be the sword I once dreamed of?

There was some familiarity, even intimacy, that made Li Zhengyi can't help but hold the hilt of the sword and pull it out of the cold rock.
