Chapter 6 Who Am I?
At this moment, a cool breeze rushed towards him, making Yuan Ming a little more awake.
He looked along his sight and saw the woodland ahead suddenly open, and a blue and black river about ten feet wide appeared at the front of the shade of the trees.
The river water is a bit turbid, with waves rolling inside, and the water is quite strong.
After Yuan Ming measured the distance for a while, he found that it was impossible for him to fly over with his strength. But when he looked down, the green wolf chasing under him turned from two ends to five.
"If you jump over, you may die. If you don't jump over... you will die, and you will die even worse." Yuan Ming knew that he had no choice at all.
He stepped on the branches of the ancient tree beneath him, shaking up and down, accumulating strength through the ups and downs of the branches.
One, two, three...
"Go away."
He shouted softly, and as the branches bounced up, his bent legs suddenly exerted force and ejected his body.
In the air, his body was stretched straight, and his left arm, which was uninjured, stretched out as much as possible, and grabbed the branches extending from the ancient tree on the other side.
Unfortunately, his power is limited after all. When he is injured, it is already the limit to be able to jump out of seven feet, and it is impossible to reach a branch ten feet away.
Yuan Ming's body fell downwards, and with a "thump", it fell into the water. After struggling and falling for a few moments, it was flooded by the rolling waves and disappeared into the river.
Seeing this, the green wolf on the other side howled unwillingly for a long time before turning around and leaving.
...
In the turbid river water, Yuan Ming's body was undercurrent and collided back and forth on the rocks at the bottom of the river, and wounds on his shoulders and chest collapsed one after another. The red blood spilled out, floating into strands of red gauze.
Yuan Ming endured the pain and the suffocation of drowning, grabbed the reef at the bottom of the river with his arms, struggled to climb out of the water, and took a greedy breath of air.
The river water mixed with dead branches and leaves kept slapping on his face, blurring his gaze.
Yuan Ming wiped the river water on his face with his hand, and saw that he was less than two feet away from the river bank, but there was no reef in the middle of the river that he could climb. If he rashly entered the water, he would likely be caught by the undercurrent and then he would be dragged into the bottom of the river again.
Just as he was thinking about how to cross to the other side, the wound on his chest suddenly started to hurt again.
Yuan Ming didn't care much, so he planned to dive back to the water and touch the reefs at the bottom of the river to the other side.
But then, the wound on his shoulder suddenly started to hurt severely. At first, it was just a pain, but in a short while the pain became denser.
The pain was no longer limited to the wounds on the chest or shoulders. Even the uninjured areas were painful. Only then did he realize something was wrong.
Yuan Ming took a sudden breath, his body sank down. Regardless of the erosion of the river, he opened his eyes in the water, looked at himself, and suddenly felt his scalp numb.
I saw that there were nearly a hundred palm-sized fish on the wound on his chest, shaking their tails one by one, squeezing wildly into his wounds, and biting his flesh and blood desperately.
"Oh no, this is a piranha!"
Ordinary fish generally do not attack living creatures of such a large size. The only one who can launch such a fierce attack on him is the piranha.
Although there were fish biting other parts of Yuan Ming’s body, there were no wounds there and covered with fur, so there was no big problem.
He reached out to pull the piranha on his body, but before his palm could get close, a large group of fish bit it.
At the same time, a huge black shadow was also swimming from the downstream toward this side in the turbid river water.
Yuan Ming knew that he could not delay it. After a breath of air, he immediately sank into the water again, grabbed the protruding reefs at the bottom of the river with his hands, and touched the opposite bank bit by bit.
The black shadow in the distance found him escaping, and his speed continued to accelerate and approached him.
Yuan Ming finally touched the shore base of the other shore and began to climb upwards. The waves behind him broke through, making a "whirring" sound, and the black shadow had already chased after him.
He did not dare to delay at all, nor did he even look back and take a look. He grabbed the river bank with both hands and leaped upwards. At the last moment when the black shadow caught up with him, he jumped onto the other side.
The black shadow finally sank into the air and wandered under the shore for a while. The figure gradually sank to the bottom of the water and was no longer visible.
Yuan Ming lay on his back on the river bank, his chest fluctuated violently, and he was breathing heavily.
He reached out and touched his hand, and found that the blood-storing bag was not lost, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that it was not the time to rest and relax, the strong feeling of fatigue and the feeling of exhaustion after the disaster still made it difficult for him to get up for a long time.
After resting for a while, Yuan Ming forced himself to sit up. Only then did he realize that there were still piranhas covered with black scales hanging on his body.
Among them, there are particularly many fish hanging on the wounds on the chest and shoulders.
Yuan Ming grabbed a piranha, endured the pain and pulled it off from his body. When he put it in front of him, he found that the guy had a circle of jagged teeth in his mouth, biting the air one by one, and his ferociousness did not weaken at all because he left the water.
He planned to throw away the piranha, but the "gurgling" sound from his stomach immediately reminded him not to do that stupid thing.
Yuan Ming was filled with joy in pain and smiled: "You bite me, I will eat you, and we will exchange courtesy."
After saying that, he endured the discomfort and stuffed the fish into his mouth and bit it down.
The raw fish meat mixed with fish bones and fish scales was bitten by him little by little, making a "crunch, crunch" sound, and then he chewed a slightly fishy and sweet smell.
Yuan Ming originally thought he would feel uncomfortable, but what surprised him was that he did not feel disgusted with this smell, and even felt a little liked.
A fish as big as a palm could not satisfy his stomach at all, so Yuan Ming began to pick fish from himself one by one and eat it.
After a while, he picked fifty or sixty fish from his body and ate them all, which relieved the hunger in his belly.
Yuan Ming looked at the wounds on his chest and shoulders with blood, and suddenly realized something.
The two green wolves were chasing him before, and the piranhas in the water came in groups, and even the black shadow in the water, who didn't know what it was, was attracted by the blood of his wounds.
He quickly got up, dug up some mud from the mudflat by the river, wiped the wound on his body, covered his blood and energy, and then turned around and left.
In such a harsh environment, it is definitely not a wise move to stay in a place for a long time before finding a safe place to live.
With the gradually setting sun, the entire forest cast a huge shadow, and welcomed the arrival of the night earlier than elsewhere.
Yuan Ming carefully searched in the mountains and forests for a long time, and finally found a cave buried in the underground less than five miles away from the river.
This cave was actually a pit, with two huge rocks rolling down from the mountain, which were placed against each other, as if a roof was covered with a pit.
Yuan Ming carefully checked and found that the space inside was only two feet in a radius. Although his body was not spacious inside, he could barely accommodate him.
The roof made of two rocks is tightly shaped on it, and there are gaps in front and back.
Needless to say, the gap at the front is about three feet or two feet wide, which is enough for some medium-sized beasts to crawl in.
Yuan Ming searched in the mountains for a long time before finding some rocks of all sizes and sizes, carried one over, and sealed the gap behind the cave first.
Then he searched for a long time, but he still couldn't find a rock of the right size to block the hole.
Finally, an old tree root that was broken by thunder and fire was brought from a distance, and used it as a temporary gate to block the entrance of the cave.
Just in case, Yuan Ming tied the old tree root with a vine and tied the other end to his wrist. Once the old tree root is moved, he will definitely be involved and make him notice it.
After doing everything, Yuan Ming slowly lay down on the ground. Although the sleepy feeling kept coming, he still forced himself to not fall asleep immediately.
While listening carefully to the movement outside, he used his hands to carve the dark cave ground, regaining his escape route along the way, recalling the details of his fighting with the black bear and the green wolf.
After passing all this in his mind, he began to recall the incomplete memory of his martial arts performance in the square that appeared in his mind during the day.
"Who am I?"
With this question in mind, Yuan Ming slowly fell asleep.
In the dream, Yuan Ming appeared in the martial arts field again, holding a long spear and constantly waving, practicing a set of sharp marksmanship.
On the edge of the martial arts stage, a vague shadow appeared. He was tall and mighty, but his facial features were blurred. He stood with his hands behind his back and was silent.
Yuan Ming stopped the drill and wanted to go forward to see the man clearly, but heard a loud shout: "Don't stop!"
In an instant, Yuan Ming suddenly woke up.
In the gap at the entrance of the cave, there was sunlight shining in, shining on his face, it was already dawn.
Yuan Ming felt that he had only slept for half an hour, and the feeling of sleepiness had not completely disappeared.
However, he still sat up with support and subconsciously rubbed his eyes with his furry hands.
After he recovered some of his energy, he untied the vines tied to his hands, and was surprised to find that the wounds on his chest and shoulders had healed and scabbed.
He originally thought it would take at least three or four days to recover, but he only slept for a night.
"It seems that when you transform into a hairy beast, not only will your strength and speed increase, but your recovery ability after injury is also enhanced." Yuan Ming became more and more satisfied with this body.
At the same time, he also developed a strong interest in the "blood and Qi method" mentioned by Elder Huhuo.
“Gu…”
"Not only does the injury heal quickly, but also the stomach is hungry." Yuan Ming stood up and moved the root of the tree at the entrance of the cave and walked out of the cave.
The sun shines in the mountains and forests, the leaves are green, the mountain breeze is swaying, and the thin morning mist is gradually dissipating, and there are only the ethereal cries of birds around, which looks quiet and beautiful.
