Chapter One Ancient Forest

Time has passed, and it has been tens of thousands of years since the battle between Emperor Huangdi of Xuanyuan and Chiyou. The battlefield of that year has become an endless forest. The ancient trees in the forest are towering, with layers of branches covering the sky and sun. It is said that these big trees are transformed by the souls of the human gods who died in the war. The sky is full of fog all year round, and countless huge lightning occasionally appears in the center of the forest. Accompanied by the sound of deafening the sky, it seems that someone is fighting, which adds to the mystery of the forest.

Due to the long years and the countless immortals and gods that fell during the ancient war, the earth absorbed the aura of these immortals and gods and had nurtured countless treasures from heaven and earth, attracting countless explorers to rush in.

The ancient forest looks no different from other forests, but as soon as people walk in, their cultivation immediately decreases. The deeper they go, the more they fall, the more they become, until they become ordinary people, but the wild beasts inside are not affected at all, and are also extremely ferocious. Every year, many people are lost here because of treasure hunting. The forest is full of white bones, and clothes torn by wild beasts are scattered all over the ground, and the blood stains on the trees are colorful, which is shocking.

Tiandi City is a big city closest to the ancient forest. Legend has it that it is a big city built near the battlefield after Emperor Xuanyuan defeated Chiyou. The city lives in some ancient families, with strong and extremely powerful. There are also some foreign families who have dominated the country over time. The forces in Tiandi City are extremely complex.

Because of the ancient forest, the city is crowded with people and bustling. On both sides of the four city gates in the southeast, west and north, there are various stalls filled with shouts. In order to attract more customers, the female vendors were wearing exposed clothes and twisting their waists. The more beautiful the ones, the better their business, and the male vendors could only watch from the side. Who said they were not a beauty? Gradually, this place has become the world of female vendors, mainly selling small accessories, and some of them were also wearing thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and thousand-year-old ginseng in the ancient forest. They knew it was a fake at first glance, and there were only a few people asking.

There are many small villages next to Tiandi City. As there are more and more expeditions to the ancient forest, many civilians nearby have vacancies to rent half of their houses to these explorers. Because the rent is cheaper, many explorers like to live here, but some rich people don’t like this kind of place. After all, there are fine wines and beautiful women in the city. They spend all their money all night. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? Being able to come back alive means making a profit.

Mengxi Village was originally an unknown village, but at first there were only a dozen families in the village. Due to the ancient forests, more and more people came and went to Mengxi Village. Many people in the village vacate the houses. Some people who have the conditions simply set up another house to specialize in hotels. Gradually, various services here were also provided, and some outsiders also set up restaurants, tea shops, etc.

One year, a team of explorers came to Zhang Guanghan and his wife's house to stay. There were five people in total. However, two of them were couples. The woman had fair skin and elegant manners. She wore a red cloak and held a very young child in her hands. It could be seen that she was just born.

There was nothing wrong all night. The next morning, before the old Zhang and his wife got up, they heard a knock on the door. It turned out to be the young couple. The man said, "This time, my husband and I entered the ancient forest. It was extremely dangerous. I might be inconvenient to have children on them. I would also ask the two elderly people to help take care of them. When we come back, we will pick up the children. How about it?" The woman also looked at the old Zhang and his wife with pleading eyes.

Lao Zhang originally wanted to refuse, but when his wife saw that the child was cute, she immediately agreed, "Okay, let's take care of you for your care first, and you must come back early." While saying that, she started to coax the child. Lao Zhang sighed helplessly. Both of them are in their fifties and have no children. No wonder his wife loses her composure like this today.

After the young couple walked into the ancient forest, they never came back. Lao Zhang felt that it was troublesome to take care of the child and wanted to give it away, but his wife refused to accept it. In this way, the child became a member of the Lao Zhang family. Because he didn't know the child's name or his father's surname, Lao Zhang gave him a name called Zhang Hao.

Next door to Lao Zhang's house, a middle-aged man named Lin Daxi came a few years ago. He brought a little girl here and opened a restaurant. It is said that his wife died of dysfunction in her early years, and only he and the little girl depended on each other. The little girl took the life to Lin Yuewu. Xiao Yuewu has been naughty and cute since childhood and is very likable.

Because the two children have similar life experiences and similar ages, Zhang Hao and Yuewu are very good at playing. They went to the private school in the village together, went to the river to catch fish, and occasionally played house games. Everything is beautiful in the children's world, and they did not expect the future at all.

Gradually, the two of them grew up. Because Zhang Hao worked for many years, had a strong body and a handsome face, he was very popular among girls in the village. Yuewu was graceful and elegant, and her playful personality gave people a cool feeling.

The two often ran to the wilderness by the village without any trouble. Zhang Hao liked to lie on the grass and looked at the sky, while Yue Wu liked to hold her knees with her hands and stare blankly in the distance. Many times Zhang Hao asked Yue Wu what she was thinking. Yue Wu always smiled and didn't answer, occasionally teasing Zhang Hao, "I'm thinking of you!"

Soon, Yue Wu was sent to Tiandicheng Academy by her father to study. Zhang Hao was considering that the old Zhang and his wife were old and physically, so he did not go. Every time Yue Wu came back, she would tell Zhang Hao about what he saw in the city, the blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, the warrior riding a dragon, and all kinds of strange things, which made Zhang Hao extremely yearn for. The three-year martial arts competitions at Tiandicheng Academy and the wonderful duels from young warriors from all over the world made Zhang Hao's blood even more excited.

Since Yuewu went to Tiandi City, Zhang Hao often went to her restaurant to help with some miscellaneous work. In Lin Daxi's eyes, Zhang Hao was a hardworking and filial child. He liked him very much and almost regarded him as his son-in-law. When chatting with Lao Zhang and his wife, he always half-seriously and half-jokingly said that he would give Yuewu to Zhang Hao in the future, but Lao Zhang and his wife always kept silent for a while after listening, which made Lin Daxi inexplicably strange.

One day, Zhang Hao cleaned up the room and settled the guests. He was about to go to Yuewu's house to help. When he went out, he was called to their room by Lao Zhang and his wife.

Lao Zhang and his wife sat on the bed, looked at Zhang Hao and sighed, "Xiao Hao, your grandma and I are old. There is one thing we must tell you, which is about your life experience..."

"Ah, my life experience?" Zhang Hao was shocked after hearing this.

Lao Zhang touched his wife beside him and said, "You'd better tell me."

My wife paused for a moment and said, "Xiao Hao, it's not that my grandparents want to hide it from you, but you were still young before. Now your grandpa and I don't have much time. It's time to tell you the truth. One night sixteen years ago, a group of explorers came to our family. Among them was a young couple. The woman had fair skin, noble temperament, elegant manners, and a red cloak on her body. Your father had a majestic physique and extraordinary temperament. They should be rich and noble families. They just didn't know why they came here to take risks, and they both died in this forest. What a pity." After saying that, she sighed a long time, relaxed and disappointed. The secret that had been held in her heart for sixteen years was finally told.

This is the first time Zhang Hao has heard about his parents in 16 years. Unexpectedly, he is no longer alive. He kneels in front of the two old men and bursts into tears. The sudden blow almost makes Zhang Hao crazy.

A year later, both old men died of illness, leaving two houses and some savings. Zhang Hao buried the two men on a hill not far from the village.

Since that day, I heard the two old people talk about their parents, I have always wanted to go into the forest to see if I could find some of their parents' relics or find some clues about their life experience. It just so happened that a group of explorers came here on that day. These people could not resist Zhang Hao's begging and finally agreed to take Zhang Hao into the ancient forest.

The next morning, Zhang Hao knocked on Lin Daxi's door and prepared to hand over the keys at home to Uncle Lin for helping to keep them.

"Uncle Lin, I want to go into the forest." Zhang Hao said

In fact, Lin Daxi also knew Zhang Hao's life experience and guessed that Zhang Hao would enter the ancient forest, but he didn't expect that the day would come so quickly.

Lin Daxi thought for a while, took the key and said, "I can't stop you either if Yuewu is not here, go, but you must come back alive. Yuewu and I are waiting for you at home." The last sentence said Yuewu's name a little louder.

"Well" Zhang Hao held back his tears and turned around and left. Yue Wu's naughty smile kept appearing in his mind. He almost wanted to give up, but when he thought of his unknown life experience, his determination came up again.

After raising one's spirit, a group of six people set out towards the ancient forest. Zhang Hao lived here for seventeen years and naturally knew the situation of this forest. As soon as he entered the ancient forest, he immediately felt a gloomy air. The forest was full of mist in the morning, and the air was filled with blood, mixed with the smell of rottenness, which made people very disgusting. When he walked inside, he saw more and more bones on the ground and the smell of blood became heavier.

The six people walked carefully. Although they were afraid, they did not encounter any danger along the way. Maybe the beasts were still sleeping in the morning. Everyone thought so. While following them, Zhang Hao kept scattering bones and clothes scattered underground, looking for the special red cloak that grandma mentioned. But after searching for a long time, he found nothing except the bones and some rotten clothes.

The more you go in, the trees get denser and denser. The thick ancient vines crisscross, the gloomy atmosphere becomes thicker and thicker. The surroundings are terrible. Occasionally, a small animal is scared away, and the six people are all wet with sweat.

"Look, there is a ginseng in front." The person who led the lead pointed to the excited front. Not far away, a ginseng grew in the cracks of several large stones, with tall white bones piled beside it.

The others also saw it and shouted happily, as if ginseng was them, but Zhang Hao felt something was wrong with the bones piled up on the ground, so he didn't follow him.

Under the leadership of the captain, the four of them pulled out their weapons and walked towards the ginseng in alertness.

Suddenly, with a powerful beast roar, a tall white tiger jumped out of the woods in front, and then a white tiger jumped out of each side. It can be seen that these three white tigers already have the intelligence, and you can know that the enemy is tempted to induce the enemy to siege deeply.

The five people immediately stood close together. Due to special reasons in the forest, the five people felt that their cultivation was only half of their usual level, but the three white tigers were much stronger than theirs, and they could not beat even if they were in their usual state of full skill.

"Roar", "Roar", "Roar" three tigers roared, and the three white tigers rushed towards three directions. After a while, two screams sounded at the same time. One person on the left was scratched by the white tiger claws, and blood was dripping from the tiger claws. The headless corpse on the right, which was not even a head, was still shaking, and blood flowed out of the broken mouth. The remaining three people saw that the situation was not good, so they turned around and ran away. However, the white tigers could only run over these white tigers and grabbed the white tigers that pounced on them in just a few steps. The strong smell of blood made people vomit.
