In the Felan Era, the Titans and Dragons reigned supreme. The grasslands and forests intertwined in the Barbarian Region, and the sun blazed fiercely in the sky.
"Barbarian Region tribes, the Royal Court commands! The Hawkman tribe must conscript fifty young and strong members! They must arrive within the time limit at the Thunder God's command in the Hanlin Forest!"
Above the cliff, a hawkman with gray - black wings flapped his wings in mid - air, clutching a bone spear in his claw, and shouted to the hawkmen on the cliff. Below the cliff, the hawkmen gathered.
Jiang You looked around in confusion. "Where am I... What's going on?!" Previously, he had no idea. Everyone around him had human heads with bird beaks, hawk feet, and wings, and was covered in gray - black feathers. The hawkmen wore simple animal skins, were thin and weak, with sallow complexions. It was clear at a glance that they were suffering from malnutrition.
Beside him was a young hawkman, standing beside a female hawkman. Suddenly, the short memories of the young hawkman emerged in his mind.
"Sir! Our tribe has less than a hundred hawkmen in total. If all the young and strong leave, how will we survive in this wild place? Please grant us some more time." Among the hawkmen below the cliff, a strong and tall adult hawkman stood out and begged the hawkman in the air. However, the begging was not within the consideration of the hawkman in the air, who only snorted.
"Hmph, I don't care about that. If you don't arrive on time, your tribe will be destroyed!" After speaking, he flapped his wings and flew away, leaving only the hawkmen with terrified faces.
At night, a bonfire was lit on the cliff. The hawkmen roasted the only remaining meat of the tribe. The young and strong hawkmen ate the meat silently. Beside them were their families. Jiang You stood beside a large female hawkman. The large female hawkman was tall and strong and was often the leader of this hawkman tribe. She was the adult hawkman who begged for leniency.
After she finished eating the meat, she turned to look at Jiang You, sighed, and touched his head, saying, "I hope you grow up healthy and strong!" Jiang You, although now a different person, had merged with the memories of the young hawkman and still felt something.
Then, he looked at the female hawkman and said solemnly, "Azhi, the war between the Titans and the Ancient Dragons has lasted for a thousand years. After all these years, our predecessors have never returned. This time, we have no idea what will happen. If I go, Ayou will depend on you to raise him."
The female hawkman's eyes became moist. "Yi, can't we just leave the Barbarian Region and hide somewhere far away?"
"That's impossible. The entire era is divided and ruled by the Titans and the Dragons. Here, we can barely survive. If we leave, we will only face destruction." The hawkman leader was helpless.
" Yi, you must come back safely!"
"I will."
The next morning, all the young and strong hawkmen, led by the hawkman leader, flew away to the Hanlin Forest. On the cliff, a group of weak hawk women and children watched the figures of the departing hawkmen and hugged their children tightly.
...
A few days later, in a forest near the Barbarian Region, Jiang You held a short stone spear in his claw, standing on a tree branch. His cold vertical pupils stared intently. A large and thick - skinned wild boar was being besieged by several forest wolves. The large wild boar had already had half of its head bitten off by the forest wolves and could no longer move. The smaller wild boar was maddened by the pain and the provocation, ignoring its wounds and charging forward with its tusks lowered. One forest wolf was pierced and fell down, and another had its belly ripped open and was lying there gasping for breath. Another forest wolf gave the small wild boar a blow.
At this moment, a hawk cry rang out. Jiang You flapped his wings and descended from the tree branch, raising the stone spear and accurately thrusting it into the eye of a forest wolf. Immediately, the forest wolf howled in pain and died.
[You have killed a forest wolf, Experience + 5]
Jiang You did not stop. He turned and flew towards another wounded forest wolf on the ground, quickly throwing the stone spear in his claw. The stone spear flew out and pierced the throat of the forest wolf.
[You have killed a forest wolf, Experience + 5]
The whole process was astonishingly fast and neat. When the battle ended, several young hawkmen landed from the air.
" Ayou, you're so amazing!"
"When we flew down from the tree, you had already killed them all."
Jiang You smiled. " Asang, Alie, Alai, you guys go hunt that big wild boar, and I'll watch here."
"Okay, Ayou, wait for us!"
After the young hawkmen finished speaking, they joined forces to hunt the large and thick - skinned wild boar.
Watching them fly away, Jiang You simply smelled the smell of the forest wolf's blood, and then flew back to the tree branch. He sat on the branch, looking at the gradually setting sun in the distance, and shook off the blood on the stone spear.
"Open the panel."
[Name]: Jiang You
[Attributes]: Strength 3, Constitution 2, Spirit 5, Agility 4, Charm 1.
[Skills]: Throwing (Proficient), Spear Technique (Proficient)
[Game Start Countdown]: 5 days 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds.
Seeing the [Game Start Countdown], Jiang You couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. After transmigrating into a hawkman and encountering a game system that crashed at the start, the game system couldn't even be activated.
" I don't even know if this is real or just a game?" He sighed deeply.
"The system can't be relied on for the time being. I can only rely on myself. Fortunately, I can still see my attributes and skills, so it's not completely useless."
The setting sun's rays shone on the leaves, turning them a golden yellow. Jiang You snapped off a branch and gestured in the air.
"Anyway, let's sort things out first."
"Since I came to this era, I'm sure that this is the ancient era of the 'Felan Era' game, the chapter of the Titans and Dragons."
"At first, I knew from the game that there were five chapters in total, the era of the rise of the human race's empire."
"However, the chapter of the Titans and Dragons has long ended. In ancient times, the Titans disappeared without a trace, and the dragons retreated to Dragon Island."
"According to the information in my memory, there is only one record of the end of the Titans and Dragons. It was in a territorial battle that the God of Thunder, Arnos, killed the young blue dragon king, Alator, the heir of the ancient dragon emperor! That is also the ancestor of the blue dragons."
"This incident was the fuse."
"The enraged dragon emperor led the entire dragon clan to fight a fierce battle with the Titans. In the end, both sides were severely wounded, and other races took advantage of the situation to rise!"
"From the perspective of the game's information, there is no mention of the history of the hawkman race."
"At this time, the hawkmen in the ancient era were still ruled by the Royal Court. They belonged to one of the intelligent races."
Thinking of this, he thought of his current situation and sighed.
"The hawkmen are the weakest magic - using race in the fifth chapter. In the future, they may be excluded from the intelligent races. The players' starting options don't even include the hawkmen."
"To be honest, the talent of the hawkmen is indeed very low. I have tried many methods in this era to awaken the extraordinary, but there is no way."
"Without talent, there is really no talent!"
"It's extremely difficult to awaken the extraordinary, and it needs to be improved."
He frowned and thought deeply.
"Come to think of it, in the fifth chapter, there is a legend."
"A common turtle in ancient times bathed in the blood of the Titans and later became a demigod. It still exists when the players descend."
"I want to try this method to awaken the extraordinary."
"But recently, I heard that bathing in the blood of the Titans will not strengthen oneself, but will burn to death. There are many such examples!"
"Why could that turtle bathe in the blood of the Titans without dying and instead master the extraordinary?"
Jiang You fell into deep thought.
"I have a task related to that turtle. Let me think carefully. Maybe there will be clues!"
