In the early morning, the sun was still hiding behind the Qingyuan Mountains and had not yet risen. The thin sunlight escaped through the clouds, giving the majestic Qingyuan Mountains a dazzling golden edge.
On the gravel road at the foot of the mountain, the sound of kicking horse hooves mixed with the crunch of wooden wheels crushing gravel from far to near, breaking the tranquility of the mountainside.
This is a convoy of seven carts, each cart is pulled by two giant camel beasts that look like horses and deer, and they run extremely fast.
The large car at the head has a very gorgeous appearance, and there is a faint flash of light on the surface of the carriage, which is very extraordinary.
The large trucks at the back are much inferior. The carriages are directly the cargo compartments for pulling goods. These compartments are now full of people.
I saw that these people were dressed in messy clothes and looked haggard. They were all sitting on the side of the carriage, looking languid and dozing.
With a muffled sound of "dong", the wheel of the last cart seemed to have hit a larger stone, and the car body shook violently, and the people on the car woke up due to this effect.
Gao Yuan slowly opened his eyes and was about to take out his phone to check the time, but the scene in front of him froze him.
He remembered that he struggled for a long time to get on the subway during the morning rush hour, and was lucky enough to get a seat. Thinking that there was still an hour before arriving at the station, he closed his eyes and took a nap.
Who would have thought that as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them again, everything around him would change.
The unfamiliar environment in front of him and the completely incomprehensible language used by the people around him made Gao Yuan feel a little at a loss for what to do.
"A prank show?" Gao Yuan frowned.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something explode in his mind. Then, countless scattered memory fragments crazily entered his mind, forcibly colliding with his own memory and slowly merging together.
As part of the memory was absorbed and digested by Gao Yuan, he slowly understood the conversations of the people around him!
"I estimate that we can reach Qingyuan Town in half a day, but I don't know what the situation is like there."
"There is no need to worry about this. Qingyuan Town is a large market town that is second to none within a thousand miles. There are seniors from the Hunyuan Realm who are in charge all year round. It is so close to Qingliang City that those monsters definitely dare not go there to cause trouble!"
"That's true. It's just that I was in such a hurry to escape last night that I didn't have time to pack up many things. I'm afraid those beasts will be able to take advantage of them!"
"We are in such a catastrophic situation. It's a lucky thing that we can escape alive. Don't worry about the few possessions outside of you."
…
Gao Yuan didn't listen to the rest of the words. At this time, he only felt that his mind was swelling, and countless confusing unfamiliar memories kept flashing in his mind, shattering his thoughts into pieces.
After an unknown amount of time, the explosive swelling in his brain gradually dissipated, and he finally regained some of his ability to think, and part of the extra unfamiliar memory was sorted and digested.
But he didn't feel relaxed at all. Instead, he felt a little scared.
The environment and people can be faked, but the extra memories in the mind cannot be faked.
As these extra memories continued to be digested and absorbed by him, Gao Yuan gradually came to a terrifying conclusion.
This is not a prank, he really traveled through time!
Traveled to a dangerous world where demons are rampant!
Although he knows that people in this world can also practice cultivation, and those with strong cultivation can even fly into the sky, move mountains and reclaim the sea.
But he couldn't be happy at all, because these had nothing to do with him.
This is a cruel world where the strong call the wind and rain, and the lives of the weak are like a piece of grass.
And the body he occupied was a complete weakling, the lowest level in this world!
Every time there is a demon causing trouble at the bottom, countless people like him will be wiped out, eventually turning into a cold number that describes the extent of the disaster caused by the demon.
Just like this time, a third-level monster rushed into the market town and swallowed hundreds of town residents in the blink of an eye.
If the original owner's father hadn't spent all his savings to bribe the driver and put him into the escaped camel beast's cart, Gao Yuan would probably have woken up in the monster's belly at this moment.
With this status, what hope can there be after traveling to such a terrifying world?
Gao Yuan had mixed feelings for a moment. The two hands on his legs clenched subconsciously because of nervousness, but he felt like he was holding something in his hands. When he looked down, he found that he was holding a bulging and heavy cloth in his arms.
pocket.
This was stuffed into the car by the original owner's father when he got into the car. It has an angular feel and should be something like a book.
Sitting up slightly, Gao Yuan was about to look out of the car, but suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be a line of small words in the upper left corner of his field of vision, so he looked at it intently.
The line of small words fixed in the upper left corner of his field of vision instantly enlarged as he focused his attention, and appeared in the center of his field of vision:
"Kill 1 ghoul, countdown to 23:51:03"
Gao Yuan's heart was beating loudly, and he was both excited and nervous.
Of course, he was excited because the appearance of this line of text made him unconsciously make some associations. After all, who doesn’t have some experience in time travel these days?
Since such an outrageous thing as time-traveling happened to me, it is reasonable to bring a system or something after time-traveling, right?
As for the tension, it comes from the countdown that is constantly beating and decreasing.
Literally, he should be asked to kill a monster called a ghoul within one day.
It's just that he doesn't even know what the so-called ghoul looks like now, and he can't talk about killing it.
What worries him most is the result of mission failure. Although it is not shown, it is probably not a good thing!
To be on the safe side, you still have to find a way to complete the task!
Just as Gao Yuan was silently calculating, a sudden burst of hurried shouts from a driver reining in his horse came from ahead.
At the same time, an old voice came from the leading gorgeous beast car:
"A large group of ghouls appeared in front of us, everyone got out of the car and prepared to defend themselves against the enemy!"
Gao Yuan looked up and saw a creeping black line spreading far to the left of the convoy's route. That was the direction of Qingyuan Mountain!
After taking a closer look, he realized that these squirming black lines were actually humanoid monsters running towards each other. At a glance, there were probably no less than a thousand of them!
These monsters are running very fast. If the convoy does not stop at this moment, it will definitely collide with the large army of monsters in front!
Fortunately, the driver driving the car was a seasoned veteran of the town's caravans. Over the years, he had traveled around and dealt with various monster attacks. Not only did he stop the car quickly, but he also skillfully surrounded the seven beast carts.
Connected rings.
At the same time, the door of the leading beast carriage opened, and an old man with a white beard wearing a moon-white robe flew out of the carriage holding a white jade disk about a foot in size.
I saw the old man hovering in the air four meters above the ground, holding a white jade disc in his left hand, and playing several magic formulas with his right hand. After a moment, the old man shouted: "Jiu!"
A burst of surging spiritual energy surged from the surface of the white jade disc. Not only did it fly away from the white-bearded old man into the air, but several fiery red light beams shot out from its surface, quickly sinking into the seven beast carts forming a circle on the ground.
middle.
At this point, a huge bowl-shaped red light mask took shape instantly, covering the entire convoy upside down.
