Rebirth of the Stars

Chapter 4 overnight

Ning Yuan hid behind a giant tree, holding his breath carefully.

He began to rejoice that he had fallen into the water just as he had just arrived. The semi-wet rookie suit and the lush weeds in the forest reduced his breath to the point where he would not be noticed by those common-smelling beasts as long as he was not too close.

And in the gap of the dense forest less than 100 meters away from Ningyuan’s hiding place, a few fierce beasts are now faintly visible.

It is different from the fact that the stars in the field only divide wild creatures into beasts and fierce beasts. Although there are classifications of beasts on the Nieno continent, they only account for a small part of the beasts on the Nieno continent. The overwhelming majority of the Nieno Continent are ordinary fierce beasts collectively referred to as monsters and powerful fierce beasts of above strength.

Fierce, savage, famine, and calamity, four power levels plus two types of monsters and spirits are distinguished, this is the way of cognition of all creatures on the Nieno continent except the intelligent race.

Taking fierce beasts as an example, the beasts that are harmless to practitioners are not counted. Although they are collectively referred to as fierce beasts, they can be divided into four categories according to their danger, namely, fierce beasts, wild beasts, wild beasts and disaster beasts.

If you want to specify the danger, you have to compare the cultivation system of the practitioner.

The level of cultivation of the Nieno Continent is divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human. The signs are the initial condensation of vitality, the stepping into a gangway, and the emptiness and emptiness. Each level is divided into three levels, namely soldiers, husband, lieutenant, school, general, commander, marquis, king, and prince. A total of three levels and nine levels.

Knowing the level of the practitioner’s cultivation level, it is easy to explain the danger of the fierce beast. The fierce beast corresponds to the three levels of soldier, husband, and lieutenant, the wild beast corresponds to the three levels of lieutenant, school, and general, the desolate beast corresponds to the three levels of general, commander, and marquis, and the disaster beast corresponds to the king level and above.

That’s right, the upper limit of fierce beasts, wild beasts, and wild beasts is exactly the same as the lower limit of the upper level, which means that top fierce beasts are not weaker than ordinary wild beasts, and peak wild beasts are also not weaker than ordinary wild beasts, fierce beasts, and wild beasts. The beast, the desolate beast is more of the difference between the upper and lower limits of strength caused by the rank. Only the calamity beast can be said to have a level that has a difference in ordinary rank, and it is more of a complete transcendence of life level and individual strength. The calamity beast is described by the creatures of the Nieno continent as a moving natural calamity, and its lower limit has far exceeded the upper limit of the strength that the desolate beast can reach. The most powerful disaster beasts are equivalent to the super powers of the cultivator’s heavenly king level.

After talking about the comparison between the strength of the fierce beast and the cultivator, let’s get a little understanding of the difference between the fierce beast and the spirit.

In the long and endless years of war with fierce beasts, practitioners discovered that some fierce beasts can be tamed and can communicate to a certain degree. In order to distinguish, practitioners call these beasts that can be communicated and tamed as spirit beasts. The other fierce beasts are collectively referred to as monsters.

After recalling the records related to the beasts, Ning Yuan was even more glad that the side north of the Luoning River already belonged to the periphery of the Dragon’s Blood Forest. Generally speaking, only beasts with the strength of beasts exist, and the edge is even if there are only beasts. Beasts on the scene. As long as the fierce beast-level monsters are not particularly sensitive in smell, perception, or drifting, generally speaking, the warning area is only 50 meters away. As long as they are not seen and be careful, Ning Yuan has a chance to avoid these. Monster.

After patiently waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the screams of the few badger monsters in Ning Yuan’s ears who were hiding behind the tree finally disappeared.

After waiting for a while, Ning Yuan carefully looked into the gap in the dense forest. Sure enough, there were no more monsters there.

Confirming safety, Ning Yuan let out a sigh of relief while rubbing his chest with his left hand. As a mortal who hasn’t cultivated yet, Ning Yuan still has some confidence in dealing with ordinary beasts by relying on the short spear in his hand, but it can be said to be a life of nine deaths against any fierce beast.

Even the weakest fierce beast must have vitality in its body, and with vitality, no matter how weak the fierce beast is, it will inevitably gain the most extraordinary power. Regardless of power and speed, they are far from comparable to those of mortals.

Ning Yuan held the short gun tightly in his right hand. Although this thing was useless against fierce beasts, it was more or less a comfort than nothing. When you are desperate, if you are lucky, it will be somewhat effective.

After climbing up the treetop again to confirm the direction, Ning Yuan cautiously sneaked into the distance along the place that was not easily noticed by the monster beast’s front.

Every quarter or two, Ning Yuan would climb to a high place again to confirm the general direction, and then carefully avoid the places where monsters might be encountered, and walk concealedly towards the edge of the dragon blood forest. When encountering wild fruits, he will According to actual experience, determine whether it is edible, and pick the wild fruits that have been confirmed to be safe for use.

In this way, I repeatedly distinguished directions, carefully avoided encounters with monsters, carefully confirmed the safety of the environment, and stopped and stopped. When the time came to the evening, the surrounding environment became more and more dim.

Climbing up the treetops again, Ning Yuan looked at the time and direction, then secretly calculated the itinerary, and then found that he had traveled less than thirty miles for a whole day. Although I could see the shadows of the mountains faintly visible in the clouds and mist in the distance, there was still a dense forest that could not be seen at a glance.

Although the sky outside was still bright, the forest was obviously dark, and a faint mist began to fill. The rest of today is obviously not suitable for moving on.

Ning Yuan sat in the shadow of the tree fork in distress, avoiding being spotted by the flying monster birds above the forest that had begun to return to their nests. According to his estimation, the boundary of the Dragon Blood Forest is at least more than one hundred and fifty miles away from where he is now. If we keep moving at the speed of today, it will take at least five days.

The five-day rush time alone is nothing to Ning Yuan. It stems from family education and he has a certain degree of confidence in survival in the wild. Water and physical strength can be supplemented by wild fruits that can be found everywhere in the dense forest. During the daytime, as long as there is no luck. It might be able to survive through gritted teeth.

The key is night.

The night in the Dragon Blood Forest is obviously an active period for monsters and beasts. You don’t need to think about open flames for heating. Even firestones can’t be used. Any light source is a continuous target that attracts monsters to attack in a dark environment.

To make matters worse, as far as Ning Yuan observed, the night in the Dragon’s Blood Forest was accompanied by heavy fog, and rain in the forest was likely to occur.

It is the upper overcast season, that is, spring, just after Yinyue (March), when everything is growing, and the cold spring is not yet warm.

The Dragon Blood Forest was originally dense and dense, and the temperature was much lower than the outer boundary. Although Ning Yuan’s rookie suit had dried out using the time to check the position, he still felt a little cold when walking in the dense forest. This is the case at noon during the day when the sun is the most prosperous. It is conceivable to what extent the temperature in the Dragon’s Blood Forest will drop after dark.

To be honest, even if frost began to condense in the forest at the end, Ning Yuan would not feel the slightest strangeness.

Under such circumstances, Ning Yuan still cannot light a fire to keep warm, cannot relax and relax, or even move casually, and must always remain concealed and vigilant. Because in the densely foggy forest at night, he couldn’t see his fingers, Ning Yuan could only rely on hearing and limited perception to detect the movement around him. And during the active period of the Nightwalking Monster Beast foraging, even if Ning Yuan just missed a little movement, he might encounter unpredictable danger.

If it was only one day, Ning Yuan would have passed it for a while, but for at least five days like this, Ning Yuan obviously felt desperate.

The rookie suit is not a warm suit, and it will be enough to spend a day in such a wet and cold night without a fire. Five days? That would be deadly.

Even a small range of movement is not possible. Squinting and taking a nap is a luxury. You must keep your mind tight and concentrated throughout the whole process. With your body on alert at all times, you will at least peel off your skin during a day like this cold and humid night. Five days? Let it die.

After thinking about it, Ning Yuan felt that what he was facing was a desperate situation and a dead state.

Although Ning Yuan’s physique is good, staying up all night in such an environment would be sick at best, but he would definitely die in five days. It may not take five days, and tomorrow it is possible to be killed because of the illness.

“No. You must find an environment where you can rest quietly, otherwise there is only a dead end.” Ning Yuan frowned and muttered to himself decisively.

While the surrounding environment was still visible for the time being, Ning Yuan quickly jumped off the tree, inspected it for a while, and then cautiously and quickly touched it in one direction.

After cautiously exploring for half an hour, and tremblingly avoiding a few night-walking monsters that went out for food in advance, Ning Yuan finally found an environment where he could barely settle down before the sky was completely dark.

This is an ancient tree that is obviously more than a few thousand years old, and it seems to belong to the same genus as the big tree in reality. Big bale tree is also called empty bale tree, because the trunk is thin and thick at the bottom and swells like a bag and is hollow. It is the natural dwelling of some inhabitants in reality.

Ning Yuan is not sure whether this ancient tree is an empty tree, but it is true that the trunk has expanded. Ning Yuan estimated that at least 20 people would hold hands in a circle to hug each other. As for whether the tree trunk is hollow, it has to be dug to know.

Ning Yuan chose this tree not only because the trunk of this tree is the thickest and largest among the surrounding trees, it looks like an empty tree, but also because of the huge rock next to this ancient tree. The folded surface of the huge rock forms a concave angle with the ancient wood, which is a natural hiding place. Even this angle can save Ning Yuan a lot of vigilant energy.

The fog began to thicken, feeling the heavier and heavier coldness, Ning Yuan no longer delayed, holding the spear joint of the short gun, and the tail of the gun against the rock wall, digging along the wedge of the huge rock and ancient wood.

Because of the limited space, the gun tail and the rock wall would bump into each other from time to time, and the gun head was difficult to exert force, and the excavation project was more difficult than expected. If it hadn’t been for Ning Yuan to take off his shirt and wrap it around the tail of the gun, the sound of the short gun colliding with the rock wall might have been heard far in this secluded environment.

It was faintly visible in the sky that the visibility was less than half a foot before reaching out under the mist. After two hours of hard work, Ning Yuan finally dug a gap in the trunk that he could squeeze into.

Ning Yuan stretched out his hand to probe, and breathed a sigh of relief in the darkness.

Sure enough, the trunk of the ancient tree is hollow like the empty tree. The hard work of two hours was finally not in vain.

Ning Yuan put away the short spear and squeezed into the tree hole sideways, carefully took out the firestone from his waist pocket, and lightly touched it on the wall of the tree hole, the firestone lit up.

Stretching his left hand holding the flaming stone forward, the environment inside the tree cave appeared in front of Ning Yuan’s eyes in a slightly dim light. Although the tree hole is not as big as expected, it is enough for two or three people to lie down and rest.

(Four yin seasons: the four seasons of the stars are divided into upper yin seasons according to the volatility of the two moons in the lunar and shaoyin at the same time: spring, the first quarter of the lunar month, the last quarter of the lunar month (yin, mao, and chen), the lunar season: full moon , Shaoyin Crescent (Si, Noon, Wei), Lower Yin Season: Lunar Last Quarter, Shaoyin First Quarter (Shen, You, Xu), Shaoyin Season: Lunar Crescent, Shaoyin Full Moon (Hai, Zi, Chou) ). There are only five simultaneous volleys in a bi-monthly year, four of which are the opening days of the season, and the fifth is from noon on the last day of the hai month to noon on the first day of the sub-month. The Shaoyin Samsung will appear all day at the same time, and there will be no night on this day. It is called “Birthday”, which is equivalent to the New Year.)
