Chapter 23: The Great Wilderness
The Great Wilderness
Ye Chen had already returned to the shore from the creek and put on his tattered clothes.
Looking at the stream, the water is crystal clear. Just enough to act as a mirror.
Although Ye Chen was prepared in his heart, he was still surprised by what he saw. Reflected in the stream was the immature face of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. Ye Chen stretched out his hand and pulled his cheeks, his skin was firm and vibrant, like a girl's skin.
The picture reflected in the water is not very clear, but it can be seen that the young man's eyebrows and eyes are similar to Ye Chen. It can be seen that Ye Chen is young.
At this point, Ye Chen had to accept this result. He was bloodied in the dark ancient land, and he actually rejuvenated and became a teenager. It can't be said that Ye Chen is very old. Ye Chen is also a person who is about to become an adult. But not so "young".
The mysterious blood in the ancient land actually carried a magical power, and the leap of life he realized made him return to his young body at one time. It's unbelievable, like something that would only happen in mythology.
Ye Chen sat by the stream, nibbling on the wild fruits he had picked up from under the trees in the forest. The forest was full of trees, and some of them were full of fruit. The fruit is exposed to the wind and sun or naturally ripens and falls under the tree. Ye Chen picked a few good-looking fruits under the tree and brought them back.
With a hint of sourness, the wild fruit bloomed on the tip of Ye Chen's tongue. Although the taste is not very good, it can satisfy hunger.
It's not on Earth, there's no food for him to pick from. It's nice to have something to eat.
When Ye Chen found this stream, he was looking for wild fruits in the forest, and he saw a scene that shocked him very much.
In the distant sky, there seems to be an eagle circling, very special, because it is covered in gold, even if it is far away, you can still feel the splendor, as if it is cast in gold, and the whole body is shining with golden light.
During this time, the large bird swooped down into a mountainous area, and then flew into the air, grabbing an extra object. Fly towards the cliff in the distance.
Ye Chen could see clearly on the ground that the prey caught by the big bird was an elephant. The giant elephant was immobile in the grip of the golden eagle, which was to be brought back to the nest as food and devoured.
This is a super-gigantic bizarre bird of prey that is unlikely to be found on Earth. The mountain he was on was not on par with the mountains on Earth.
Ye Chen looked at the sky in the distance and said, "This huge eagle is golden, shining with brilliance, and its size is huge and boundless. It's a lot like the mythical Golden-winged Roc Bird!"
In the end, Ye Chen made such a judgment, the five-color altar in the dark ancient land did not lead to the earth, and that five-color altar was very likely to bring it to a new world, a world of immortal cultivators!
In fact, there are records about Peng Bird in ancient times, and they are mentioned in many ancient books. For example, there are relevant descriptions in the Zhonghuang Sutra of the "Divine Strange Scripture" and the "Notes on the Water Classic", the most famous of which is Zhuang Zhou's "Getaway".
"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. ”
This is the image of the Peng bird described by Zhuangzi, a few simple descriptions. A divine bird that can soar up to 90,000 miles appears in front of him. It's amazing.
This is obviously not in line with the common sense of the existence of things. It is impossible for the sacred bird to be so large in size, and the world thinks that this is an exaggerated description of the ancients.
Ye Chenyao wondered if there was really this divine bird named "Peng" in the distant heaven and earth full of spiritual energy?
He then thought that Zhuangzi was a member of the earth after the decline of the immortal cultivation civilization, and the purpose of the getaway was to prove that such a divine bird did indeed exist in the distant heaven and earth, but later disappeared between heaven and earth for some reason. Ye Chen's guess was extremely bold, but it could also be the truth.
By the stream, Ye Chen was nibbling on wild fruits, wondering if there were many ancient celebrities who were immortal cultivators or the bloodline inheritance left by the immortal cultivation civilization.
Suddenly, the creek came out on the other side. There was an earth-shattering roar.
Deafening, Ye Chen picked up the wild fruit, quickly burrowed into the forest, and hid under a towering tree. Eyes fixed on the place where the voice came.
Mou ————
Another loud roar came from the forest opposite, and the voice was short and urgent. It's like a roar that only comes when you're hiding from a predator.
Ye Chen heard two more roars in succession, and the voices were getting closer and closer. There was also a change in the forest that Ye Chen was staring at.
The towering tree, which five or six people couldn't hug, was broken off by the waist with a squeak, and a brute beast came out of the side of the stream.
It is three meters tall and is a cow. However, the mouth was full of sharp teeth, and the pair of large black horns on the head were a little blood-red. The aura is pressing, and the breath of savage comes out of the body. This wild bull was like a big black rock rampaging through the forest, and countless towering trees were broken by its impact.
Those huge bull's eyes were bloodshot. The bull head looked back from time to time.
Just as it was about to cross the creek, the brute bull suddenly fell to the ground, and its limbs began to twitch. The sturdy body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, a corpse appeared on the side of the stream, and it was the brute bull's. It was hard to imagine that this brute beast had turned into a shriveled corpse in a very short period of time.
The skin was covered with bones, and the horns on the head were shining black. It's horrific to be in such a shriveled corpse. An object crawled out of the back of the bull's neck.
It was a silver centipede, and it was like it was watered with silver. It has the texture and luster of gold and silver. It has a ferocious aura, and its body is more than half a meter long. The mouthparts also had the blood and brains of the brute bull on them. It's a terrifying worm.
The red and white thing ticked and ticked, after sucking the fierce bull. It seemed contented, and flew in the direction of leisurely and leisurely.
This scene was seen by Ye Chen, who was hiding behind the tree.
In the great wilderness, the ancient timber wolf forest. Hugging trees can be seen everywhere, and bucket-like old vines are wrapped around them like wooden dragons. Everywhere there are strangely shaped rocks and mountains. A very large number of fierce birds, beasts of prey, and insects inhabit it. If you are not careful, you will die here and become nourishment for the trees. That brute bull is the best proof of this, bloody and cruel. But that's the environment he's going to face.
Ye Chen stayed away from this stream, creatures couldn't survive without the water source, and the water source thought that there would be creatures coming. Those were all fierce beasts, and with Ye Chen's current strength, there was no chance to fight against them. What he has to do now is to live in the wilderness, surrounded by poisonous insects and beasts.
Since there is a five-color altar here, there must be human beings, and it is also possible that there are descendants of immortal cultivators who left the earth back then.
