As the sun set in the west, the sound of chaotic footsteps woke up the birds in the forest, causing them to flutter in panic.
A figure stumbled into the forest, running as hard as he could. He was faced with many jagged green leaves, cutting countless bloody wounds on his face and body. He didn't care at all and only knew how to run for his life.
While I was running, I suddenly tripped over something under my feet. With a muffled roar, I lost my balance and fell out. I landed on the ground and rolled a few times, finally turning into a big letter shape.
Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he was an ordinary slave in Li's mining team. He had many wounds on his body. Several wounds were torn open by the claws of wild beasts, and even bones could be seen. But I don't know if this slave was too lucky. Fortunately, whatever happened, these injuries avoided the vital points of the body, so he still has some breath left.
This slave's face has some characteristics. He has a broad face and mouth, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and long earlobes, close to the chin. If a fortune teller sees it, he will definitely be amazed. This is the fortune mentioned in the fortune book. Indescribably expensive.
However, if Xin Zhui heard these words, he would probably just laugh out loud.
Xin Zhui is the name of this mine slave.
He was taken into slavery by the Li family when he was a child and never enjoyed a good life. If the fortune teller said he was a blessed person, he would definitely spit in his face.
But today, compared with those companions who died, maybe I really deserve this "blessing", right?
Xin Zhui, who was lying on the ground, moved his eyes slightly, and pulled out an expression that seemed to be crying or smiling. At that second, he saw with his own eyes that the people in front of him were torn apart by the blood beast, and only half of their bodies were left, half of them were warm. His body was swollen, his intestines were squirming on the ground, and his legs were still kicking and twitching.
At that moment, Xin Zhui was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
What's even more frightening is that a guy on his left screamed too loudly and was kicked on the head by Li Shentong. His brain exploded, and the smelly tofu-like thing shot out, and a few drops were even... It flew into his open mouth, causing him to vomit on the spot.
This is a world where the weak eat the strong. If you have the strength of Li Shentong, you can control the power of life and death over people!
Xin Zhui didn't know how long he had been lying there, but his desire to survive reminded him that lying here was very dangerous.
He didn't know how much perseverance it took to hold his body that was about to fall apart and sit up. He took a few breaths, wiped the sweat and blood on his chin, and turned to look at the thing that tripped him just now.
But this time he turned around, it scared his soul out.
Behind the bushes about twenty meters away, a jackal-like monster with two horns walked out quietly. The two eyes of the beast reflected the light of the setting sun and were as red as blood.
A chill rose from the bottom of Xin Zhui's heart. Before he could react, the savage beast raised its head and roared. A dozen smaller savage beasts jumped out from behind it and rushed towards Xin Zhui.
Xin Zhui let out a strange cry from his throat, and he got up and ran away without knowing where he got the strength.
I don’t know anything else in my mind, I just know to run! Run!!
If you don't run, you'll die!
puff!
There was a pain in his vest. He must have been caught by a wild beast. He didn't even bother to look back. Instead, his legs ran faster. Chi~
There was another sound, and another piece of meat was bitten off his shoulder by a savage beast that jumped up. He was about to go crazy.
These beasts seemed to be playing a hunting game, like a cat playing with a mouse. From this point of view, Xin Zhui's luck was indeed very good. If it had been another mine slave, he would have been torn to pieces.
The surrounding jungles and shrubs hurriedly retreated like green arrows. After running for an unknown period of time, maybe just for a while, the leader of the savage beast seemed to be impatient and let out a roar.
The savage beasts hunting Xin Zhui all around suddenly roared to the sky, and the beast flames surged. The next moment, they pounced on Xin Zhui like crazy, clawing at Xin Zhui's back.
It hurts! It hurts!!
Xin Zhui's eyes went dark, and he suddenly saw a crack at the bottom of the cliff in front of him that could only allow half a person to pass through. He was about to die, and he couldn't care about anything. He let out a strange scream, and his whole body hugged into a ball. He closed his eyes and looked towards that
A crack washed away.
Snapped!!
A half-foot-long gash was torn open on his back by a savage beast, and blood spurted out wildly. Then there was a series of painful bumps and gravel scrapes on his body. The front was empty, and his body suddenly fell...
At the entrance of the rift, the leader of the barbarian beasts sniffed the air. A flash of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he backed away as if there was something terrible hidden inside. With a low roar of "Woo~", it led the other barbarian beasts like lightning.
get away.
At the bottom of the fissure, no matter how many feet deep it was, Xin Zhui lay quietly, his racing heart gradually calming down, looking at the environment he was in, feeling confused and confused.
This is a crypt that was left behind an unknown number of years ago. The walls of the crypt are covered with complicated and clumsy murals and texts. Xin Zhui cannot understand them. He only feels an indescribable desolation.
It seems like this place is very primitive and has existed for a long time.
The place where he is lying now is an underground hot spring pool. Xin Zhui is soaking in the water. He hears the gurgling sound of water in his ears and sees the bubbles boiling and rolling around him. The strange thing is that he doesn't feel hot at all.
I just feel warm and comfortable.
Xin Zhui's eyes suddenly widened. He found that the water was different from ordinary geothermal hot springs. Not only did it not have a trace of sulfur smell, but it was filled with a sweet fragrance. The strangest thing was that the water was all blood red, like
A pool of blood.
Surprise flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to grab a handful of blood and looked closer, only to see that the blood was like thick mercury, slowly and little by little slipping away from his fingers.
What exactly is this?
Xin Zhui couldn't think of it, but there shouldn't be any danger. He took a long breath. The monsters weren't chasing him. It was safe here for the time being, but he couldn't stay here forever without food or drink.
Just as he was thinking about how to get out, he suddenly felt itching on his back and shoulders, like many small ants biting on his skin. He couldn't help but reach out and scratch the itch a few times.
There is something like an extra layer of skin in my hand.
Xin Zhui was startled. He looked through the dim light in the cave and saw that what he grabbed on his hand was a layer of scab.
how so?!
He turned his head with wide eyes and looked at the place where he scratched. There was a deep wound on the skin there, but now there was only a faint pink color left, and it was actually healed!
Not only this place, but also other places were feeling itchy and tingling. Xin Zhui saw that several wounds deep enough to see the bone were soaked in pools of blood, with many granulations sprouting and squirming crazily to repair the wounds.
Xin Zhui's mouth opened wider and wider, but he didn't feel scared. In his hazy mind, an idea gradually became clear -
This water is magical! It seems to contain very powerful energy, which continuously penetrates into the body through the pores and skin.
If one survives, there will be future fortunes!
Xin Zhui vigorously scooped up a handful of blood and poured it on his chest, spreading the blood over every inch of his skin so that the energy of the blood could more fully repair the injury.
In his excitement, he didn't notice that on the mural facing him, there was a giant giant bathing in a pool of blood, as if he was performing some mysterious ritual. The boiling blood pool was like lava in a volcano, constantly rolling with red blood.
