Text Chapter 1: Dreams
Shattered space passages, spatial turbulence surging, fragmented space fragments, like sharp blades, filled the entire cylindrical tornado, and there was only endless tearing and grinding.
Inside the tornado, a tiny black dot flickered, and it was a tiny human being, drifting in the wind. The tiny black dots, like a flat boat, swayed in the turbulent sea, as if they would be submerged in the turbulence of endless space in the next moment.
The storm was fierce, like the end of the world, everything collapsed, but the small human beings did not admit defeat, and remained in the abyss, struggling, shouting, wailing. It's just that the hoarse roar doesn't need to be instantaneous, it will dissipate in the spatial turbulence without the slightest trace. Young people, stubbornly resisting everything, never giving up, even if there is no hope.
However, all the efforts and unyieldingness, under the ruthless destruction of the endless forces of nature, seemed so pale and powerless, and hundreds of sharp blades with different trajectories swirled and cut towards the youth as if they had eyes. The speed of the blade was terrifyingly fast, like a pure silver blade, and it instantly struck in front of the young man.
The blade magnified sharply in front of the black eyes, bringing a silvery-white brilliance. Obviously, there was no way to dodge, and with a muffled snort, he could only hastily erect a thin protective screen in front of him to resist the fragments.
"Puff puff..."
Space debris is like a raging storm, accurately bombarding the transparent protective screen, a storm suddenly comes, in the wind and rain, the fragile protective screen flashes brightly, the rebound fragments splash everywhere, and the trajectory of several reflected fragments changes, and the trajectory of the follow-up debris intersects, collides with each other, shatters, everything is silent, some, only a brief dazzling flicker, annihilated in the endless abyss.
The seemingly crumbling protective screen was not broken, but fortunately, it successfully blocked the next wave of space debris. However, there was no joy, the young man's handsome face was full of anxiety, and his sturdy body did not dare to relax at all, because he deeply understood how terrifying, powerful, endless, and desperate these seemingly fragile space debris were.
Without any respite, the next moment, a second wave of debris followed, and more violent impacts bombarded the protective screen.
"Puff puff..."
The protective screen in front of the young man was once again hit by the frenzied cracking of the fragments, and the silver screen flickered again, rippling like raindrops hitting the calm water, stirring up folds of light.
The insignificant youth drifted with the tide, ups and downs, and the endless space storm, as if dissatisfied with the tenacity of mere human beings, naturally, was mercilessly impacting this stubborn little human being, releasing its anger. The young man felt more and more unbearable, and the storm became more and more violent, and he wanted to do whatever it took to wipe out the small human beings in front of him.
In the violent impact, the protective screen, which was not thick, is becoming thinner and thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye. The young man was resolute, still refusing to admit defeat, and his hands, which were still exporting energy, became green and abrupt due to excessive consumption, sweat on his face was like rain, silver teeth were clenched, and he desperately transmitted energy to support the protective screen.
However, human energy is limited after all, and the sense of detachment soon appears. Although, the young man is still desperately squeezing every inch of energy in his body, the energy of every piece of tissue, although, he is still using 100% of his strength to squeeze the muscles of his whole body in the hope of being able to survive. However, there is a limit to human power after all.
Finally, the protective screen, which had been crumbling for a while, held on very hard for a while, and the subtle sound came into the ears through the bones, "Click~Click~" The originally smooth protective screen was slowly crawling with spiderweb-like cracks, subtle, and angular, like a rare work of art, but it symbolized despair and death.
The young man's face was full of sweat and tiredness, and his eyes were full of sleepiness with a few drops of crystal sweat, and his movements no longer had the vitality that he should have, and the rest was only sluggish.
The young man shook his head with a wry smile, staring helplessly at the protective screen full of cracks in front of him, feeling his already tired body, his face seemed to be full of unwillingness, but helpless, there was no extra strength, not even a trace of superfluity.
"Hey. ”
A sigh of endless weariness and despair came from the mouth of the young man, but when he thought about it, this sad sigh was no longer heard by anyone but himself, just as he had left the world so quietly. I don't want to struggle anymore, and I can't afford to struggle anymore.
A pair of tired black pupils stared ahead, and at this moment, it seemed that time had slowed down, it was a crystal clear, thin triangular space fragment like a cicada's wings, with irregular edges, but so smooth and beautiful. "Slowly", rotating the tangential protective screen.
At this moment, the young man had the illusion that time was slowing down, becoming very slow, very slow, so slow that he could see the trajectory of the original high-speed moving fragments, and if he was slow, he could see its shape clearly, which was wonderful. The fragments were crystal clear and spun forward, quietly outlining a silvery white brilliant trajectory.
Didn't blink, just quietly looked at the fragment. Quietly, spin, spin. Eventually, a sharp corner of the fragment finally hit the protective screen, the layer of protective screen that was as thin as a piece of paper.
It is special and quiet. There was no half of a silver wave of energy, nor was there any hustle and bustle, at this moment, in the minds of young people, there was only quiet, and everything around him was so quiet, dead and quiet. The relentless roar of the storm, the fierce bombardment of debris, or the crisp cracking of the protective screen like a mirror crack, seemed to be silent at this moment.
In this silent world, only fragments of space that are crystal clear, beautiful as art treasures but symbolizing the scythe of death fly towards you in a swirling arc.
"It's over. ”
Unable to defend himself, he no longer defended, allowing the fragments to silently slash through the flesh, bringing up blooming blood flowers, bringing about the pain of muscles being cut horizontally and vertically, and bones being split in two. I don't know or know how many fragments of skin and muscles were cut in an instant, how many bones were silently severed, and I could only feel the pain of muscles and nerves being cross-cut.
The young man didn't know how painful the capital punishment was, but perhaps, it was similar to his own feelings, right? Finally, a piece of the most beautiful fragment quietly slashed towards the center of the young man's eyebrows, and his numb eyes stared at this fragment, slowly and silently blooming. At this moment, the whole world in front of him became extremely bright, and the young man closed his eyes heavily.
Everything will be gone......
......
"Ahh
A scream rang out from inside the room, and a young man sat up from his sleep suddenly, breathing a little heavily, and the bedding that had covered his body slipped to the side, full of folds, apparently awakened by a previous nightmare.
Quickly looked around, and found himself sitting on a familiar bed. Shaking his head lightly and gently rubbing his forehead with his hand, the young man breathed a sigh of relief. The nightmare just now was so terrible that I still have palpitations when I think about it now. The reality, the struggle, the powerlessness, the despair that lingered in my mind seemed to tell me that it was not a dream, but a real thing.
And what distressed the youth the most was that they couldn't get rid of this lingering nightmare. As far as he can remember, he has experienced this same nightmare no less than ten times. The same experience, the same despair, the same pain, the same I still can't resist, every experience will bring him the slightest bit of truth.
"Alas"
Can't get rid of it? That's it, he shook his head helplessly. It's just a dream, let it be.
The young man's name is Le Qi, and he is a martial artist who cultivates.
Looking up at the window, the morning light had already begun to shine on everything. The refreshing morning breeze blew into the simple cabin through the half-open window, with a faint fragrance of flowers and plants, and the fragrance of flowers and plants wandered happily in the house, teasing the sense of smell of the youth.
Above the bed, a simple little butterfly of solid color fluttered, fluttering from side to side, landing on the bridge of the young man's nose from time to time. Evil is naughty. Perhaps, it was affected by the boldness and cuteness of this little elf, the young man smiled, and the painful feelings caused by the nightmare were swept away, and he was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was another energetic day!
Life is supposed to be like this, thinking too much, but it is making yourself uncomfortable, moaning without illness, not the style of happy relatives.
He got off the bed with his feet and stretched his waist with his neck tilted, and his bones crackled for a while, and his whole body was comfortable. I hurriedly changed into a set of clothes and walked outside.
"Squeak", push open the wooden door, look up and close your eyes, feel the warmth of the morning sun shining on your forehead, and the cool breeze passing by your side from time to time, as if the fatigue of the whole body has been swept away, so comfortable!
The plan of the day lies in the morning, and after washing, I simply have breakfast, and Le Qi starts the morning exercise. And the practice is all basic, thrusting, sweeping, picking guns, and from time to time exercising arm strength. In fact, he doesn't know much at all, and he hasn't studied with his master, and what he understands is just copying other people's movements like a cat and a tiger, and how much he combines some of his imagination with practice, so he can only barely create some simple moves of his own.
"Drink!"
Le Qi held the tail of the spear with one hand, held the spear flat with his wrist, and stood up in a lunge to fix his body and practice arm strength. The spear used is not an ordinary wooden-handled spear, but a special spear forged from steel, and the steel spear weighs thirty or forty pounds, which is for training. Because, in the process of ordinary practice, appropriately increase the training intensity, gradually adapt to the slower of heavier spears, and strive to improve their speed and strength, and finally, reach the realm of heavy spears can also attack quickly. When you really face the enemy, you will change to a light gun, and the speed will be extremely fast, and the combat effectiveness will be extraordinary.
Gun, the king of soldiers, pay attention to a fast word, the real gun should be as fast as lightning, in an instant, enough to chase the soul.
The training continued, and in a blink of an eye, nearly half an hour passed, and the young man was still persistent, but the left hand holding the gun was already bruised and trembling, and the sweat on his face was dripping down his chin and falling all over the ground, and the silver teeth were clenched hard, and the originally calm breathing became slightly heavy, but it was still not disordered.
"Tick~~ Tick. ”
The sweat was still flowing uncontrollably, and another quarter of an hour had passed. At this moment, due to excessive force, the young man's delicate face was already red, and the left hand holding the gun was already twitching.
"Ah~!Have you reached the limit?!". The young man gritted his teeth a little reluctantly and said.
"Ding~"
The arm could no longer hold on, so he had to plunge his spear into the ground, and the sharp tip of the spear was half a foot deep. The young man shook his left hand, which was trembling from excessive exertion, and slowly sat down against the erected steel gun to relieve his fatigue.
Whew, the high-intensity exercise is really tiring! The whole arm is like it is on fire. Le Qi gasped for breath, and although the left hand holding the gun was not straining at this moment, the muscles were automatically contracting. This kind of exercise is hard and tiring, but he knows that only this kind of intensity can be effective and strengthen the body more quickly.
After resting for half an hour, the young man took a few deep breaths and once again held the spear flat, the same height, the same lunge, only this time, it was replaced by a right hand.
......
In this way, the young man practiced until noon, and when the practice was over, Le Qi's hands seemed to be filled with lead, and he was so tired that he couldn't lift it up. Lying on his back on the ground, gasping for air from his mouth and nose, his sweat-soaked clothes seemed to have been soaked in water, and he could get out of the water without twisting it. Now, it is estimated that a chicken walks by, and he has no strength to catch it.
But even so, now he doesn't even have the strength to catch chickens, as long as he rests for an hour, he can practice again immediately. He believes that he has such perseverance, not for anything else, but because he trains like this almost every day. Because only high-intensity stimulation can make people progress, this is an eternal truth.
......
After the lunch break, Le Qi came to the market to hang out and buy some useful items.
In fact, it is a square roof covered only by tiles, and a simple temporary building supported by pillars on all sides. However, the residents here are not the slightest bit unhappy about this, you know, this is only a refugee station, and there are facilities like Fang City, which is already very good. Speaking of which, it has been nearly a year since Le Qi came here.
As the name suggests, the town is built on the edge of the green hills, and the residents here are not indigenous people, but refugees from various places. Because recently, there has been a large-scale conflict between the Black Forest Empire and the neighboring Mar Empire, and finally it has evolved into a large war between the two empires, the border area is in flames, and the residents have to leave their homes and retreat to the interior of the country, and Le Qi is one of the people who evacuated from the border of the Black Forest Empire, and Qingshan Town is an ordinary one of the small towns that accommodate this large number of refugees.
Walking in the market, the shouts of buying and selling come and go. Although the market is simple, the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs. There are many and varied types of items sold in the market. There is a blacksmith shop that specializes in selling weapons, which sells weapons very completely, knives, guns, swords and sticks, there are ready-made weapons for sale, and they also accept custom-made, the weight and length are explained by the buyer, and the shape can also be designed by themselves, which is convenient and fast, and the spear of Le Qi is built here, and the quality is good.
There are also stalls that sell food, not only poultry and animal husbandry, but also all kinds of hunted monster food. Of course, compared with poultry and animal husbandry foods such as chickens, ducks, fish, pigs and cattle, it is obvious that the number of monster and beast foods is much less, and the price will also be more expensive. The reason is simple, after all, not everyone can enter the deep mountains to hunt monsters, which requires some professional hunting teams to complete. And it just so happens that Le Qi is a member of a medium-sized hunting group - the Cheetah Commando Regiment, who goes into the mountains to hunt on weekdays and can get a lot of demon beast meat, so this kind of food, there is no need to worry, let alone buy, on the contrary, there is still a surplus to sell, of course, it is generally entrusted to others to sell.
After a few glances at the dazzling Fang Market, he didn't find anything worth paying attention to, shook his head, and walked towards the depths of the Fang Market, where there were several large medicinal herb shops, which were Leqi's main destination today, to buy the medicinal materials he needed.
