Gossi opened his eyes.
He lowered his head and looked carefully at his five fingers.
Fair, clean, with well-proportioned and intact bones.
From the pulp of the fingers to the palm of the hand, a layer of light red film was plated, and I don't know if it was moonlight or blood.
The tactile sensation of poking into the warm, throbbing chunks of flesh with the tip of a broken bone seemed to linger on his fingertips.
He tried to squeeze his fingers together, slowly tightening them in the void.
The power rushing in the blood vessels is more clear, and the vitality is pumped to the limbs and bones with the blood, bringing a trembling joy.
Although the corroded and reconstructed nerves twitched faintly under the skin, it brought a distinct pain.
But the pain is so insignificant in comparison.
His body in the previous world was really weak. The poisonous water and land of the junk star eroded the underdeveloped body, causing long-term dark diseases and malnutrition. His body was so weak that it was almost impossible to consume it. Big workouts, having to spend more time recovering every day, and even without the last organ failure, that body wouldn't have a long lifespan.
But now it's different.
Ge Xiu took a deep breath slowly, the dry and cold air with a strong smell of rust slashed his throat like a blade and poured into his chest, the slight pain brought an amazing sense of pleasure.
A sense of power surged in his veins, his heart beat vigorously in his chest,
Gossiu was almost fascinated by this new and subtle feeling.
In addition, at the moment of absorption and transformation just now, Ge Xiu also felt something else, something new.
Some kind of broken consciousness, incomplete and broken information, was swept into his body with the torrent of power, like flashing fragments circling and jumping in his mind.
Although not much, the amount of information revealed is extremely amazing, even far beyond his imagination.
This place is completely different from the world he has come into contact with.
This place is called Eliso Continent. In addition to humans, there are elves, dwarves, demons and other intelligent creatures in this world.
There are two elements of light and darkness on the continent, and two huge camps are divided by this. The two camps are headed by the two main gods, the God of Light and the God of Darkness, and many other gods belonging to the two camps. And the gods in this world are not the first illusory idols that punish the religious concept that everyone in the world hangs up on, and give people spiritual sustenance. It's some kind of powerful, physical presence. Each deity has its own followers, churches, priests, idols, preferred races and followers. Believers will fight each other due to different theological beliefs, and even wars can be waged between gods and gods.
All races in this world can master the ability to manipulate elements through learning, some become mages, some become warriors, and work for their respective camps.
Ge Xiu stepped on the warm and viscous plasma on the soles of his feet with his bare feet, and the dark red liquid squeezed out from between his toes, like crushed rose juice.
He stepped on the blood pool, and the soles of his feet touched the solid ground again.
Ge Xiu looked around for a week, and the strange substances in the air were wandering in the field of vision, gloomy and damp, as if there was no specific form of dark fog, which seemed to be much clearer than before.
This should be the so-called element.
Ge Xiu looked at the elements in the air curiously, tried to pull and sense the gloomy substances escaping in the air, watched them compress and condense into soft balls with no shape at his fingertips, and then tried to shape them into The image in the mind.
There were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, his slightly closed eyes stared into the distance unfocused, his long eyelashes trembling with the frequency of his breathing.
Once, twice, three times.
Grey smoke gathered and dissipated at his fingertips, before being forcibly pulled back into place again.
It doesn't matter if you fail, then do it again.
I don't know how long it took, and finally, a long and sharp object slowly took shape in his palm. Its pitch-black surface is smooth and hard, and does not reflect the slightest light. The tip is extremely sharp, and a bit of cold light condenses on it.
Ge Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, his fingertips trembled a little due to the loss of strength, but the look in his eyes was bright and bright.
He opened his eyes, placed the sharp weapon in his hand under the moonlight, and the scarlet silhouette reflected from the tip flickered and flickered at the bottom of his eyes, like a strange light in the depths of the abyss.
A shuddering smile passed over his tightly closed lips.
—The world is strange enough and interesting enough.
He likes it very much.
·
There is no day and night in Calvary.
No matter what time, the sky here is always dark and gloomy, and there is no trace of light in the darkness. Countless strange and evil creatures lurk in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity to tear each other into pieces. However, Ge Xiu gradually summed up his own method of calculating time. At the bottom of the abyss, only a line of sky covered by darkness could be seen. "Night" comes. All the dangerous creatures in the abyss are more powerful and bloodthirsty under the light of the blood moon - after a few losses, Ghosh began to try to avoid moving at night when leaving the sharp rocks that can reflect the red cliff edge.
And whenever the waning moon is in the center of the sky, it's "midnight."
The weird pain will come at this moment, like some kind of cruel biological clock, which is always like this, never absent.
That's why Ghosh avoids "hunting" during this time.
Yes, hunting.
Ge Xiu quickly adapted to the cruel ecological chain of the jungle at the bottom of the abyss - either kill or be killed, or eat or be eaten.
The premise of surviving in the abyss is to live on the flesh and energy of other creatures.
Therefore, since the first weapon was condensed, Ge Xiu began to try hunting, and he practiced and improved his skills in the confrontation with monsters.
He creatively used everything he could touch. The dark elements swirling in the compressed air covered every inch of his skin to shield his breath. He used the smelting and forging spear tips in the beast drama. soaked in the poisonous blood, and then used it to stab the monster's thick skin mercilessly, penetrating its warm, slow-beating heart.
Of course, it didn't go so well at first.
Ge Xiu also missed many times when he started hunting, but perhaps the torture he endured every night raised the tolerance threshold of his nerves, so no matter how sharp the monster's claws were, the acid in his stomach was corrosive. Strong, or how terrifying the paralysis and hallucinogenic abilities, he can always control and order his body to fall apart with powerful willpower, waiting for the moment when the opponent relaxes his vigilance - and finally swallows, absorbs, and assimilates.
Feeling the other person's life force melt into one's own body is very pleasant, even the intense burning pain that runs through the nerves as the body is reconstructed is addictive.
But the clothes that must be destroyed every time is really a headache.
Having to waste energy to make new clothes for yourself after each end is simply a waste of time.
However, as his abilities grew, Ge Xiu could feel that his vision became clearer.
He can see the changes and activity of the elements in the air to estimate the ability and distance of the hunting target, so as to decide whether to avoid or attack. So, very soon, the situation of standing in a pool of blood of the other party in embarrassment and nakedness will rarely happen again.
Ge Xiu is growing at an extremely terrifying speed, like a species born with plunder and war as its mission, and it quickly lives like a duck at the bottom of the abyss.
And the more creatures he swallowed, the more he knew about the world. The amount of scattered information poured into his body again and again, and he gradually constructed a whole picture of the whole world in his mind.
Where he is now is the opposite of Chaos Continent.
Thirty thousand years ago, a war broke out between the two main gods of the Chaos Continent, and all the gods and creatures on the continent were involved. No matter how long the war is, it will come to an end one day. Finally, the God of Light finally defeated the God of Darkness, and expelled all the believers and followers of the dark camp, and sealed his godhead and the dark race that worshipped him to the opposite side of the continent with the bones of the Dark God, ensuring that no creature of the dark camp could leave.
After this, the God of Light and other victorious gods returned to the realm of the gods.
At this point, the Era of Gods ends and the Era of Humanity begins.
As the burial place of the god of darkness, the reverse side of the continent is also known as Calvary.
This is the city of eternal night, the realm of sin, and the place where all creatures and spirits linger maliciously.
The dark race that feeds on darkness and malice lingers on Calvary, vying for the scarce living space, dormant in secret, waiting for their god to come again, release his faithful from the back of the barren and cold continent, and lead them Looting and plundering the victory and glory that should have belonged to them.
The reverse side of the continent is full of blood rivers and abyss, and the ground is occupied by high-level demons. They have established a city-state with a strict and cruel system. The abyss that does not see the sun is filled with low-end monsters whose minds have been swallowed by darkness, struggling to survive.
Where Ge Xiu was, it was at the bottom of one of the abyss.
The monster of blood and bones that tried to eat him that day was one of the dark races that feeds on fear, called Ariust.
The name was too complicated for Gexiu to remember, so he simply called the creature Jelly.
The Blood Moon climbed the cliff again.
The faint dark red moonlight sprinkled on the rocky surface at the tip, slowly climbing towards the bottom of the abyss, with a faint ominous meaning.
Ge Xiu shook off the sticky, fetid blood on the tip of his spear, stepped on the jelly corpse on the ground, and walked straight to the middle of the sticky blood swamp.
The bottom of the silent, windless cliff smelled of copper and salt, and the sticky sound of the blood-stained body being stirred rang out.
Finally, Ge Xiu pulled out his hand, and in his white palm lay a bright red heart beating slowly, dyed by the moonlight into an oily black like asphalt.
This jelly was stronger and more ferocious than anything he had encountered before, causing him to take longer than he expected.
He threw the heart into the backpack he was carrying cross-body.
With this one, there are a total of four hearts in the bag, lying next to each other, throbbing one after another.
The hunt was very successful.
Ge Xiu closed his backpack, looked up at the sky, estimated the position of the moon in his heart, and then quickly walked towards the area where he lived temporarily.
If you go back now, there should be time.
His steps are light and agile, walking through the darkness that cannot be illuminated by the moonlight. His slender and slender figure is subtly integrated into it. It looks like a shadow passing between the rock peaks, covered by compressed and condensed gray-black elements. Every inch of his bare skin covered him tightly with the fresh breath that did not belong to the dead.
Suddenly, Ge Xiu paused.
If he felt something, he turned his head and looked not far away.
The thick dark matter was rolling there, thick and cold, like a thick wall, which Ge Xiu was very familiar with.
It wasn't the darkness that caught his attention.
It was something other than darkness, something unfamiliar.
It seems to be some kind of pale mist, faint but distinct, mixed in the rich shadow material, like the only bright color in the night, it seems to be struggling, but it is pulled and crushed by the sticky mud around it, nibbled away bit by bit. As he grew weaker and weaker, he was still very clear.
Gossi closed his eyes.
Yes, it's still there.
In his expansive field of vision, there was a thick black sea-like swamp around him, and only that one spot glowed faintly with fluorescence.
Ge Xiu opened his eyes, his eyes quickly swept across the blood moon above his head, which was slowly changing its position, then changed direction and ran quickly towards the direction of the fluorescent light.
The whirring sound of air friction swept past his ears, and the road ahead was rough and far, almost invisible.
But Ge Xiu still moved freely, swimming in the shadows like a fish, deftly avoiding the sharp rocks protruding from the stone walls and the thick pool of blood on the ground, as if the darkness could not hinder him at all.
The nose can smell the increasingly strong bloody smell, which is very fresh, as if it has just dripped out of the wound, and it also carries the warm heat of the body, which is completely different from the unpleasant smell of the monster at the bottom of the abyss.
That point of fluorescence is getting closer.
The surrounding darkness that was trying to devour it seemed to sense the approach of other creatures and began to agitate.
Ge Xiu quietly held the spear in his hand, and after getting close enough, his muscles charged up, and he threw it quickly and accurately—
The monster closest to him was stabbed in the soft abdomen by the highly poisonous spear tip, and then pierced from the side. It only had time to let out a hoarse and sharp cry before it fell to the ground. In an instant, hundreds of pairs of bright The vicious eyes looked at the place where Ge Xiu was at the same time, and let out a roar of anger.
Schistosoma, about half a meter long, has a carapace on its back, and its sharp chelipeds can dig through rocks.
They are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. When they prey, they go out in droves. Hundreds and thousands of them come in black pressure. In the blink of an eye, they can gnaw all the bones of a hill-high Ariust. At a loss, most of the body was gnawed only by the strange totem protecting the core heart apparatus and head. It turned out that even the schistosomes couldn't gnaw at the barrier that firmly protected the source of Ge Xiu's life.
The sound of the cheliped crawling through is dense, and it echoes and magnifies in the crevices in the dark, making the scalp tingle.
Countless ugly and squirming worms rushed towards Ge Xiu like a tide, bloodthirsty hunger and thirst gleamed in the small blood-red eyes, and the mouthparts made a harsh and sharp whistle.
Ge Xiu skillfully formed a barrier in front of him.
The schistosomes gnawed, digging the walls made of the elements in front of them with their sharp chelipeds, and piled them up layer by layer, and the barrier made a sour squeaking sound in an instant.
Ge Xiu calmly watched the countless fine cracks spread rapidly in front of his eyes, silent in the darkness, observing coldly, waiting.
A shadow came into view.
It was a sticky, massive iron-grey, slowly crawling to the edge of the probe—
It's now!
Ge Xiu's eyes widened, his fingertips inserted into a heart in his backpack at the same time, and the vigorous energy was quickly absorbed into his body.
In the next second, the monstrous scorching fire quickly rose up, like a burning fire cloud that illuminated the entire cave as bright as the sun, and the red violent flames drove the shadows into the cracks of the rock, and the deep cave was completely visible.
The schistosomiasis screamed sharply under the sudden burst of light and heat, as if tormented and roasted by some invisible pain, the chelipeds trembled, and the worm-like body twisted and deformed.
As if it had been accurately calculated, the cracked barrier in front of him shattered at the same time.
At the moment of shattering, Ge Xiu's body, which was already ready to go, bounced up, shuttled like a cheetah under the slowly extinguished fire cloud, and pulled the spear just thrown out of the corpse nailed to the ground with one hand, as if A swift and silent shadow rushed forward.
The sharp tip of the spear pierced into a particularly bloated worm body, sunk deep between the carapace and the abdomen at a tricky angle, and was then slashed down!
The rich and viscous yellow juice spurted out instantly, and the dirty and foul-smelling internal organs flowed down instantly. The schistosome wailed and rolled among the rocks, and was killed by the sharp weapon that passed through the skull in the next second.
When the mother worm dies, the nest collapses.
The remaining schistosomes are like flies that have lost their heads, rushing about in panic and panic, they start to eat the same kind, run away, or start to eat their own stomachs.
The flame above his head slowly dimmed, and the bright crimson color was once again covered by the thick darkness erosion.
Ge Xiu stood under the gradually extinguishing firelight, his expression calm.
He stared indifferently at the disintegrating insect swarm in front of him, and the broken insect body in his hand slowly dripped yellow-yellow-green liquid downward.
The cave gradually darkened, and only a little red and bright ashes were swirling in the air. The firelight was reflected in his eyes, as if a corner of the sky had been cut off, and there was still a temperature like the flames of the sun. The next second, the blood-red sunset engulfed by deep, icy waters.
Darkness returns to the cave.
Most abyss creatures are afraid of light and heat. This is especially true of schistosomiasis without the protection of a strong body, because heat burns their bodies and light blinds them, so they doubly hate fire.
The worm mother is their absolute ruler and backbone. It combines the entire swarm in a tight structure and operates like an efficient machine. Once the worm mother dies, the entire swarm will seem to be scattered. Sand will disperse as soon as it is washed.
It took Geshuu three encounters with the swarms of schistosomes to figure out their habits and weaknesses.
The first two times he barely survived, the third time he dragged his tattered body, found the location of the worm mother, and tried his best to break its neck, and he almost broke with the whole body. The swarm is dead.
- And on the fourth time, it was not that he encountered the swarm, but the swarm encountered him.
Ge Xiu casually threw the Insect Mother's body aside, never giving it a second look.
The fluorescent light that caught his attention was not far away.
Bright, fragile, slightly weaker than before.
Ge Xiu accelerated the speed of his feet and walked quickly towards the direction of the light. In the depths of the cave, fifty meters away, he saw a thin translucent enchantment barely supported in the air, and there were still schistosomiasis gnawing on it. The bite marks and cracked lines spread across the entire elemental barrier. Several cracks have been gnawed and hung in the air. Through the barrier, several corpses of schistosomiasis can be seen lying inside.
He bent down and drilled through one of the holes in the barrier.
A strange animal lay in the depths of the enchantment.
Like a wolf, but not quite.
On its back was a pair of large, smooth, pitch-black wings, the bones of which seemed to be broken, and it curled up behind it in a strange posture.
The soft gray fur was soaked with blood, and it stuck into strands. It was cut open by a sharp knife from the chest to the abdomen, and blood slowly oozes out with the breath.
However, this is not the scariest scar on its body.
The terrifying wounds that crisscrossed each other were like a bloody net covering its thick fur back, tearing apart the strong texture and revealing the white bones beneath it.
The wound exudes a rich, dark and poisonous aura. The rich dark elements at the bottom of the abyss seemed to double its arrogance, spreading it at an unsettling rate.
It smelled sweet and moist, like a slowly decaying animal carcass under the dirt.
This sinister and sinister color almost obscures the color of the giant wolf itself - clean, noble, pale.
Still, even wounded, the animal looked extremely intimidating.
The giant wolf stared coldly at Ge Xiu who got in, the cold-blooded animal-like golden vertical pupils were filled with fierce hatred and murderous intent, and the sharp white canine teeth slowly dripped blood.
Beside it lay the corpse that was torn to pieces by the schistosome. Obviously, even the schistosome was close to the indestructible carapace, and it was as thin as a piece of paper under the sharp minions of the wolf, and countless soft internal organs that had lost their shelter were scattered on the ground, even in the The traces of splashes can be seen on the stone walls in the distance.
— Deadly, powerful, and extremely destructive.
But again, the limit is approaching.
The giant wolf's scarred back arched, showing its fangs, and a menacing deep growl roared from its throat.
Ge Xiu blinked, but did not move.
Time passed between them minute by minute.
The giant wolf obviously became agitated, its huge claws slapped on the ground, it obviously knew that its state could not stand the war of attrition, so it decided to take the initiative to attack—
However, in the next second, the strangely colored scars covering its back suddenly deepened.
There was a suppressed wailing from the wolf's throat, as if experiencing purgatory pain.
The hind paws it was struggling to support suddenly flopped, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The smell of blood in the air intensified.
The giant wolf finally couldn't hold it any longer and passed out.
Outside the cave, the half-curved blood moon hanging in the sky slowly climbed to the narrow sky, slowly approaching the topmost position.
Gossi exhaled.
It's too late to leave now.
