Chapter 3 - Terror in the Mist (1/2)

 "Are you playing dead?"

"Well then, go die!"

Danger!!

Yan Xing, who had been on the brink of death for an entire year, woke up with a powerful killing intent rushing towards him. He had no time to think about the situation in front of him and instinctively rolled over on the ground.

rattle--

The spear suddenly pierced through, making a sharp buzzing sound as it hit the dark ground. The torn air pressure was like a sharp knife, cutting Yan Xing's cheek hard, and bright red blood immediately flowed down.

pain! Yan Xing frowned. The pain wasn't just coming from his cheeks, it was also concentrated in the back of his head, as if he had been hit by a hard object. His brain was throbbing, and this was different from pain. A sharp thorn had been stabbed into his head earlier. Two completely different things.

'I've been reborn! ? '

Yan Xing's pupils shrank as he glanced at his skinny body from the corner of his eye. His small palms were covered in scars. He was also very certain that under the current medical conditions, there was absolutely no chance of healing his head that had turned into mud.

Time travel and rebirth? Borrowing the body to resurrect the soul? Still...

Did my dying wishes really come true?

Yan Xing's thoughts were flowing rapidly, and he adapted to the current magical situation very quickly. This was because of his diverse and mixed knowledge.

Yan Xing devoted his entire body and mind to pursuing martial arts and exploring the secrets of life's evolution. Whether it was myths and legends, fantasy stories, or even novels filled with various dreams, he also obtained more than a dozen doctoral degrees in physics, chemistry, human mechanics, clinical medicine, genetic engineering, etc.

Unfortunately, after exhausting everything and spending countless manpower and material resources, a cruel truth has finally been determined: There is no supernatural power in the Blue Star world, human beings are weak, and there is an upper limit to the cultivation of the physical body. The so-called "martial arts" have no way of progress.

"Huh?! Boy, I didn't realize you were as shy as a mouse, but you're so sensitive."

The strong man who resembled an iron tower, his entire body covered in silver armor, looked extremely large. The eyes under his helmet were indifferently looking down with a slight surprise. He aimed at Yan Xing's head and a fierce aura exploded.

"Haha, can you try hiding again?"

What kind of a world is this that disregards human life, doesn't care that the person lying in front of him is a teenager, and kills at will? Very cool!!

Danger! Danger!!

Yan Xing's pupils shrank like needles, his heartbeat was like thunder, and the extremely rapid flow of blood filled his small face with red. The extremely terrifying sense of crisis was like a cold current passing through, and goosebumps stood on end.

Damn! This new body is so weak that it can't muster its strength, its energy and blood are depleted, and it shows typical malnutrition. How can it withstand this fatal blow? The reason I was able to avoid it before was because of the other party's carelessness.

Are you going to die again?

He was just born in this magical world and there seemed to be traces of supernatural things, he died before he could discover it.

It is true to say that if he were not already determined to die, it would be impossible for a man like Bao Xiong to break through the door of life. Yan Xing's mentality has quietly changed with the death of his previous life. He no longer wants to die yet.

Ho ho ho!

He roared in his heart, but his slender body seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move. He could only watch as the sharp tip of the spear continued to expand, and the cold light of the metal was reflected deep into his pupils.

"Sir, please wait!!"

bum...

A black shadow shot out from a short distance away, and the speed even caused a harsh wind sound to form.

Mark it!

Yan Xing felt a warm breath rush towards his face, and then the tip of the sharp spear stopped half an inch away from his eyes, and a drop of bright red blood fell densely onto his pupil.

Who is this person? Why would you risk your life to save him?!

"Ahem, sir, please calm down. This little boy was climbing the city wall for the first time. He was distracted by the fog, so he stayed there. He had no intention of bothering you, sir!"

"Please, sir, please suppress your anger. Right now, repairing the walls is important. How can we miss work because of the child?"

His voice was calm and strong, filled with the vicissitudes of life, and the spear that had entered his body seemed to cause him no pain at all.

Yan Xing blinked and squeezed the blood from his eyes. When his blurry vision cleared, he finally saw the face of the person who had saved him clearly.

He had a messy beard, his eyes were calm and deep, and there were a few rags hanging haphazardly on his muscular upper body, almost naked. The red skin looked like it had been braving a fierce heat wave, and the goose feather snowflakes that fell from the sky evaporated into a trail of mist before they even touched the surface of his body.

What a strong body!!

Yan Xing was secretly shocked. He was an expert in the structure of the human body, and he naturally understood that the heat wave was caused by the rapid blood flow in the body in his previous life.

So how strong is the silver-armored man called "Sir"?

Of course this world is not simple!

Thinking of this, Yan Xing felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but with so many crises looming, he had no choice but to suppress the urge to look up at the sky and roar.

"ah?"

The silver armored man raised his eyebrows and glanced out of the corner of his eye, noticing many strong men in tattered clothes looking at him with inexplicable expressions. This little man seemed to have extraordinary importance to these slaves.

Haha, is the hope for freedom pinned on this child? Ridiculous, pathetic!

A group of humble city slaves are doomed to die in the process of repairing the city walls in this life and fade into nothingness in the fog. A noble thing like "freedom" is something you can envy! ?

"You're right. Things are more important now, so I won't be following this little guy's charge anymore."

Pfft——

As the armored man spoke, he casually withdrew his spear and took out a bunch of blood flowers. In his opinion, these city slaves in front of him will die sooner or later, and it is really unnecessary to rebel for such a trivial matter.

If official business is delayed and the city lord takes the blame, his head cannot be saved.

"Hey, thank you sir!"

The big man grinned, revealing his bloody teeth. Although his expression was proud, his eyes were extremely calm and deep.

Under Yan Xing's astonished gaze, the big man's pierced chest writhed, and the moving heart and other organs quickly returned to their places. The muscle tissue tightly stuck together, instantly stopping the blood flow.

Such strong physical control, is everyone in this world a monster? Yan Xing couldn't help but freeze in place.

"You bastard! Why are you still standing there?! Get up, huh, look at yourself, what a clumsy bear you are!"

The naked man looked angry and furious, and while shouting and cursing, he lifted Yan Xing up, took a few steps away from the silver-armored man, and disappeared into the crowd.

"Son, calm down and don't make mistakes again. Remember what I told you..."

As soon as he entered the crowd, the big man's demeanor softened, his tone was gentle, and he patted Yan Xing's head soothingly. It was clear that the current scene was only for others to see.

Which words?

Yan Xing's mind was in turmoil. He had just "traveled" and faced one life-or-death crisis after another. Only now did he have time to worry about his own situation. However, his mind was blank. He seemed to have no memories of his predecessor.

From this perspective, the situation was not good at all. Even if he told the truth, he probably thought that he would not be able to withstand the warnings and became scared and crazy.

"Oh, I see."

Yan Xing nodded in agreement. After much thought, he could only take one step at a time. Revealing his identity as a time traveler would undoubtedly be better than keeping this kind of secret in his heart forever.

"This is good."

The big man nodded. He definitely knew that there was something wrong with Yan Xing, but he thought that he was just scared and nervous, so he didn't think much about it.

Yan Xing desperately wanted to know what kind of world he had entered.

At that moment, I finally had the chance to observe the outside environment. A pair of dark eyes turned around me and glanced vaguely around from the corner of my eyes.

I saw that the place where I stood was a magnificent, dark building, shaped like a light city wall, but it was extremely wide and flat, almost thirty meters wide, and covered an extremely long distance. Here and there was a shining building. The tower was illuminated by metallic light.

Yan Xing once again confirmed that he had traveled through time. Even the Great Wall of China in the Blue Star was nothing compared to it.

Heavy snowfall greatly obscured the view. The only thing that could be seen clearly was the nearby city wall covered in silver gauze.

Yan Xing narrowed his eyes slightly. There were multiple men in silver armor, whom he regarded as an invincible enemy. People in the same clothes were scattered on the city wall. The aura, seemingly careless but vaguely forming a siege.

What are the important things that they say are important?

A magnificent city wall lined with strong men provides protection against...

Yan Xing felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, turned slightly and looked outside the city wall.

bum! !

There was a strange buzzing in his mind, and his pupils dilated, reflecting a crimson red.

sister!

Red and sticky, like a living creature, the red mist is constantly writhing and twisting!!

The terrible crisis and the strange and confusing feeling continued to roar in my heart, almost making me want to throw up.

Even just a glance caused great physical discomfort.

That's right!

Yan Xing took a deep breath and tried his best to avert his eyes from the fog that was trying to pick out and eat people, his forehead was unconsciously covered in cold sweat.

What the hell is this!?

rattle--

No one could help Yan Xing answer his questions. A clear bell suddenly rang in the nearest tower, hearing this sound, both the strong men in tattered clothes and the strong men in silver armor became serious and involuntarily stood up straight.

"City Lord's Order!"

"There is a large erosion gap in the city wall at coordinates A91 to J96 and needs to be repaired immediately."

"The supply of the talisman armor has been distributed, and all the silver armor guardians are cooperating to oversee it. The repair mission must be completed without any errors!!"

Bang!

A square metal box flew out from the tower and fell heavily, scattering snowflakes all over the sky.

"Burada!"

The silver-armored guard bowed to accept the order, then stepped out from between the two men, lifted the heavy metal box, and walked towards the edge of the city wall.

Bang!

The box opened, reflecting a dazzling golden light. Yan Xing couldn't look at it and could only look away.

Gulu, is this a supernatural power?

While Yan Xing was in a trance, large men in tattered clothes had already lined up, walked towards the metal box with numb expressions, reached out to grab a ball of golden light, and then slapped him hard on the chest.

Buzz--

The golden light explodes and instantly covers the skin surface with a thin film.

"Son, this golden light talisman is the lowest level of body protection. It can protect its owner from the erosion of the mist for a quarter of an hour."

"Ah, this is the fate of our city slaves, but you are different, you are different. You do not deserve to die here..."

"You brat, remember what I told you! You only have one chance!"

Yan Xing was held by the big man's hand, and upon hearing this solemn instruction, he could only nod his head, although he didn't know why.

"Yes I know!"

"Haha, kid, I hope we can make it. At least you witnessed our efforts."

The big man nodded with expectation in his eyes and grabbed Yan Xing's big hand, unconsciously shaking it.

The queue was very long. Yan Xing craned his neck to watch and saw that only the strong men received the golden light, holding a dark metal plate in their hands, they jumped over the city wall without hesitation and jumped into the terrifying red fog.

It turned out that this was supposedly a job!

Yan Xing frowned. Thanks to the information provided, he had a rough understanding of the situation he was facing. There was great terror in the fog, and he still had not gotten out of the crisis.

Wuwuwu——

The rush of people was like boiling oil pouring water into water, and the red mist instantly reacted violently, twisting, writhing, and making a strange whining and buzzing sound.

"Ahhh!!"

"HAYIR--"

"Ho-ho-ho!"

Miserable cries and roars continued to come from the fog. Yan Xingzhi's eyebrows twitched when he heard it. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrible things had happened to these tower-like men, driving them to such despair.

Why didn't you resist even though you knew you were going to die?

Yan Xing couldn't understand. Although these strong men looked like beggars in rags, they were all very strong. If they were being slaughtered at that time, there must be a reason why they didn't recognize him.

After a quarter of an hour, someone finally climbed the city wall, but they were all devastated. Their hands and feet were cut off, but their limbs were severed. Some people's skin was completely worn away, exposing constantly twitching red muscles. Some people's mouths were gushing with extremely foul-smelling dark green pus, one knelt down and screamed in pain, opening his chest with both hands. The exposed internal organs were covered with dense white maggots that were burrowing into the surroundings...

pathetic! so bad!!

Even though Yan Xing was used to seeing life and death, such a tragic scene still caused his eyes to tremble slightly.

"Son, stop staring, it's our turn."

The big man picked up the golden talisman and heavily hit his chest. He held the dark metal with writings on it in his hand and gave Yan Xing a deep look, then jumped to his feet.

Wait! !

Yan Xings mouth moved slightly, brother, why are you in such a hurry? At least teach me how to use this thing and what exactly are you telling me? ?

The succession of events is overwhelming, and Yan Xing has no time to respond. He is now just a weak person and cannot respond effectively, so he has reached a dead end.

"Huh? Son, please wait aside."

The silver-armored guard who distributed the talisman looked at Yan Xing and did not give him the precious golden talisman. Instead, he pushed it aside with a slight disgust.

"When there aren't enough people, you can take over."

We have a lot of talisman armor, but we can't let a weak kid waste it. If there really aren't enough people, it's not too late to let him come out on top.

"Sonraki!"

I don't know when it happened, but another group of strong men suddenly arrived, lined up to take the talisman armor, and then jumped into the fog. The quiet and orderly atmosphere was filled with quiet despair.

Even though it was looked down upon, Yan Xing's only wish was to avoid entering that strange fog.

Yan Xing continued to silently count in his heart, hoping that his savior would be able to survive for a quarter of an hour and return safely.

"What's going on? Why is the repair going so slowly this time? There aren't many slaves left in the city. Do we need help from other parts of the city?"

Many of the silver armored guards frowned, their hearts feeling a little bad. The erosion vulnerability here might be more serious than expected.

The quarter hour passed very quickly, and the new batch of city slaves was exhausted very quickly. Other than Yan Xing, there were only a few left. And those who were lucky enough to survive were already dying, and would soon not be able to enter the mist again. M.

Dead?

Yan Xing's eyes darkened. Although he didn't know what his body had to do with this great man, saving his life now was a reality, and despite his benefactor dying tragically, he couldn't remain indifferent.

If you don't die today, I will be punished in hell... Okay! ?

Blow up!!

Yan Xing's expression changed slightly and he looked carefully, only to see a skeletal arm, glistening with metallic light, emerging from the fog and standing at the edge of the city.

"Ahem! My son..."

This was a big man. He wasn't dead yet, but his condition was extremely bad. He only had half of his body left, and his only arm was a metal prosthetic. His head was eroded, and half of his face was missing. And he died with one eye staring at Yan Xing.

"Son, remember my words, you must live, you must live!"

Ah——

A black shadow swept through the mist, opened its imaginary mouth, and took the big man's body into its mouth.

"Uncle Man!!"

Yan Xing's eyes suddenly widened and he subconsciously called out the big man's name. At the same time, his mind went blank and complex memories continued to emerge.

He remembered everything, Uncle Lan and everyone.

"Hahaha, you brat, you should live well!!"

The man named "Lan", who had hope in his eyes, was completely lost in the fog as he laughed.

"Uncle Man..."

Yan Xing slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were calm, and following his physiological instinct, two lines of blood and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

He integrated all the memories and understood everything.

"Bela."

"I have been carrying a mountain of gratitude without realizing it. There is no use thinking about it. It is more important to get out of this impasse."

"Live?"

"Hmph! I, Yan Xing, will live a good life!!"
