The sun rises in the east and the stars disappear in the sky. The sun during the day is as fierce as ever, as if it is about to bake people alive.
Li Chen stood up from the nearly cracked bed, put on a tattered sun hat, and quickly headed to the farmland.
There were few pedestrians on the road, and the villagers kept strict records of time, so naturally they didn't have to spend all their time in the fields like him.
In the narrow and long farmland, huge flower buds are swaying. The flower buds are bright red, and the poles below are covered with ferocious spikes, which look like monsters.
Li Chen held the wooden bucket and paid close attention to the twenty flower buds in front of him, which were his share.
Poro flower, a variety brought from the outside by the founder of Shanggang Village, has a flowering period of 142 reincarnation days, and a small cycle every four days. Each small cycle produces one fruit, weighing ten kilograms, which is Shanggang.
The village's only stable source of food and fuel.
The flowering cycles are not the same, or even very different. Whenever a period comes to the end, you must add fertilizer or water, otherwise the fruits that grow will shrink.
Li Chen is naturally not a native, he is a time-traveler. However, the memory he received is not complete. There is no flower cycle information in the memory. He can only run here early and sit here to record the flower cycle again.
In the past few days, Li Chen has been adhering to a cautious and cautious attitude. He has hidden himself very well, and no one has noticed or questioned him. Perhaps it is because his predecessor was originally a little transparent.
But now, some things have to be faced after all. He is just a dove occupying a magpie's nest, so the matters against his predecessor have been deferred to him.
Li Chen sighed. Logically speaking, when we come to a new world, people should be full of hope. Why do I want to be the number one in the world? It seems logical for the mere indigenous people to watch me teach you how to do things, not to mention that in the original world.
Life is not that good either.
But things went against expectations. Even though Li Chen was just a humble wage earner in his previous life, he lived a safe and secure life and could eat meat every day.
What now?
Survival is a problem, this damn place is deadly!
This is not a normal world at all, this is a world that breeds the extraordinary and the supreme!
On the throne of this world is an existence like an immortal that is beyond ordinary people's understanding.
To ordinary people, they are like gods, standing on the top of the world, overlooking all living beings; but they are not invincible, demons, monsters, monsters, enemies from foreign lands, etc. are all their enemies.
Humans are not the only intelligent creatures in this world. There are countless intelligent races all over the earth, as numerous as stars. Each race often conquers each other, and wars break out from time to time. There is rarely peace.
Human beings are not too strong among these races, but they are not too weak either. On this earth, only the areas where immortals sit can or can give birth to a country, and only immortals can deter those strange races.
Li Chen is a time traveler, so he is naturally a little proud. He thinks that he is a protagonist, a man who must become an immortal, sitting on the throne, looking down at the ants in the sky.
But he was dissuaded by the requirements at the beginning of the practice code placed in the center of the village. You know, this is not a difficult code to practice. The origin of this code can be traced back hundreds of years ago:
The founder of Shanggang Village once followed the Immortal, and was appreciated by the Immortal, who gave him half of the code. The founder of Shanggang Village was also very proud. He actually crossed the most difficult step between human beings and becoming "immortal". He has already done it.
After making all preparations, as long as you give him time, he will definitely become an "immortal".
The immortal was also shocked and overjoyed. He gave the other half of the code and regarded the founder of Shanggang Village as his successor.
Unfortunately, things backfired. Before the founder of Shanggang Village could grow up, the country protected by the immortal was invaded by two demons who wanted to capture the immortal and devour his body and cultivation.
The immortal was very righteous. After giving the founder of Shanggang Village the code, he also gave him a formation and sent the ancestor away to avoid the inheritance being cut off.
As expected, the immortal failed. He was no match for the two monsters. He and the country he protected were both refined and devoured. The formation that the ancestor took away is the one that envelopes Shanggang Village today. It
It has been 450 years and 220 days since Shanggang Village was protected.
As for why the code taught by the immortals was directly made public, the reason is actually very simple. No one can practice it at all.
It was just a pile of high-end "junk" hidden away. What if someone performed a miracle when it was released? So I simply put it in the village's "library". The only rule that requires clean hands when reading is still in place.
The three conditions at the beginning are enough to stump 99% of people in this world.
Of course Li Chen couldn't understand those small seal characters, but the man in the library was a good man and read them to him.
One: You should possess a source of power at the level of an immortal.
Second: The prison of the mind is unbreakable, the soul is strong, and can endure what ordinary people cannot endure.
The third one: The body is strong and strong, surpassing ordinary people. (Note: The second and third ones are outstanding.)
The first requirement has already cut off the way for villagers to become "immortals". Immortal-level power, or legendary elixirs or minerals that contain spirituality.
Or it is the energy body that remained for a while after the immortal's death, which is the real immortal blood steamed bun.
However, the place where immortals fall is usually a cave or a place of great evil, and the energy body needs special methods to restrain it, otherwise it will disappear in an instant, which also means that people in Shanggang Village have almost no way to obtain energy bodies.
Without immortal-level power, you are stuck at the first step, so how can you get out?
If only it was like this, it would be great, but unfortunately the cruelty of the truth is far more than that. Thinking of this, Li Chen sighed again.
This mountain village is destined not to be a normal place, it is a prison!
If other places can consider how to gain energy, then places like this can only consider how to eat enough to survive...
The ancestor took his people into hiding in the mountains and ravines, and used a large formation to protect them.
I was unable to break through the knot in my heart, take the final step, and realize the sublimation of my life. Instead, I died in a cave, leaving behind irreparable regrets.
When the ancestor died, although there was a large formation to protect them, it also meant that everyone in Shanggang Village was trapped and died in the mountain, and could no longer leave here unless a new immortal was born to lead them out of this prison.
But deep in the mountains is the territory of demons and beasts. People in Shanggang Village dare not even go out, let alone search for ethereal elixirs and try to become immortals.
After Li Chen understood this, he was actually very desperate. His feelings traveled through time and space, and he was worse off than in his previous life. He even had no meat to eat. What was the point of time traveling?
If it were just these, it would actually be fine. It would also be fine not to be an immortal but to be a mortal, but the key point is: not all good people in this village are good.
If there were no monsters, then Shanggang Village would probably become a village that combines hunting and farming. Food can be supplemented by hunting wild animals, and fuel can be cut down enough trees. In this way, the conflict in the village is no longer a low-level conflict between food and fuel.
However, things backfired.
Li Chen can get the right to use twenty poro flowers, which happens to include his parents' share. Now that his parents have passed away, it is almost certain that someone will jump out and target him, without even trying to hide it. Once the share is taken away
, the only way waiting for him is death.
The biggest consumption of Poro Fruit is for heating, which is a huge consumable. In contrast, its share as food does not require much. Now that his parents have passed away, once someone else seizes the Poro share on the grounds that Li Chen is alone, the cold will
Once he arrives, he will run out of fuel and will surely die.
Even from the memories he received, Li Chen knew exactly what terrible things the parents of this body had done. Although they seemed to be seeking death, Li Chen was also a little eager to try.
In his previous life, he and his parents had very bad luck. Although his parents tried their best to save him, all the trouble was already doomed when they left the village.
There are always gaps in Li Chen's memory. He knows that he is just a fat sheep now. In such a barren and remote place, everyone is eager to pounce on you and bite you, leaving behind bloody flesh and bones. Others simply can't.
Regardless of whether you survive, at least in this village, most of the kind-hearted people have nothing to do but look after themselves, and only those disgusting wild dogs have the best life.
Even if he knows this, he is not qualified enough to resist, at least not on his own!
There are many gangs in the village, and there are too many people joining the gang to keep warm, and they often show their fangs collectively to people outside the gang. Li Chen is in a very dangerous situation. He is just an ordinary person. He has neither learned martial arts nor superpowers. Once others
After breaking up, he had no choice but to be obedient.
It's just that he doesn't know how long it will take for that day to arrive.
He was tortured by the calm before the storm. If things did not turn around, the only way waiting for him would be to bow his head and admit defeat.
It is also extremely difficult for Li Chen to follow the intermittent river of memory to pick up information that is valuable to him. There are too few things for him to choose from.
My predecessor seemed to be a social terror, with few friends at all, and my relationship with the people in the village was not very good, so it was impossible to establish relationships.
This is just a village of ordinary people. A little more force than ordinary people is enough to dominate this place, let alone a gang composed of adults. They are the truth in the village.
He turned his thoughts back to the incident with his parents in his previous life, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had no choice but to give it a try, even if the result was destined to be failure. This chapter has been completed!
