Chapter 3 Return! Two years passed overnight
roar! "
The sky is dim, the sun is shining, and there are ancient trees in the uninhabited area. The ground is covered with dense red blood vessels, like dense spider webs covering the entire forest. There are no insects crawling, no birds chirping, and the silence is a bit strange. .
Suddenly, a terrifying sound wave suddenly sounded, carrying monstrous anger, breaking the calm of dawn.
The sound waves spread, the earth trembled, and the grass and trees trembled, as if something huge was running towards them quickly, emitting a terrifying aura.
In the jungle, an old man covered in blood was running away quickly, and behind him, a hundred-meter-tall red mutant tree was chasing after him, with a large number of branches extending rapidly on the ground, almost as fast as Clinging to his back, that tiny body looked like an ant compared with the 100-meter mutated tree.
Feeling the branches getting closer and closer behind him, the old man's eyes showed despair.
And at this moment, the figure of a young man suddenly reflected in his desperate pupils.
In front of him, a young man in pajamas was walking slowly forward, stepping on the blood vessels on the ground, as if there was no one else around.
"How could there be someone else here?!" The old man was shocked. This is a terrible danger zone, a forbidden area for strangers. How could he meet a living person of this age? Could it be that the other person is also a leader-level existence?
"Run away!"
Before he had time to think about it, he shouted a reminder, but the mysterious boy remained unmoved and turned a deaf ear.
Looking back at the demonic tree behind him, the old man frowned, then ignored the young man's life and death and passed him by. The moment he passed by, he saw the face of this mysterious young man clearly.
Langren!
"Didn't he go into the night after the Cutthroat Wind and disappear for two years? He is actually still alive!" The old man's pupils shrank, his heart was shocked, and his steps slowed down for a moment.
The moment his steps slowed down, a branch suddenly emerged from the ground, broke out of the ground, and wrapped tightly around his thigh.
Oops!
The old man was shocked and almost despaired.
Behind him, Lang Ren closed his eyes tightly, walking slowly like a machine with his feet, unmoved by the overwhelming tree branches behind him that exuded a terrifying aura.
Until a two-meter-thick red branch snaked its way to his back, and the barb like a scorpion's tail pierced the back of his head.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, an explosion appeared.
The expected brain cracking did not appear, and a red halo appeared, floating quietly behind Langren's head, exuding unstoppable power.
The red branch seemed to have touched something terrible and exploded inch by inch.
Soon, the overwhelming red branches came one after another, and the huge red demon tree roared over, as if it was going to tear everything in sight.
"Bang bang bang!"
With his eyes closed, Langren stopped, as if he felt threatened. A dense red halo emerged from his body. The branches that stabbed him paused for a moment, then suddenly exploded, unable to get even an inch closer to his body.
The next second, a terrifying coercion appeared from his body, and then, the sky darkened, and a vague and thick shadow appeared in the sky.
The shadow that covered the sky covered everything, and with irresistible power, it fell in an instant, exuding unparalleled murderous intent, as if it wanted to obliterate everything and cut everything into pieces.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the old man who was bound by the branches shivered and became weak, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. At this moment, he almost thought he saw ghosts and gods. The terrifying aura made every cell of his body scream and feel like death. Never has it been so close to clarity.
It was long after the roar faded that the old man opened his eyes tremblingly, unable to move, looking around in disbelief, dumbfounded, with awe on his face.
Nearby, a hundred meters in radius were razed to the ground, and ancient trees, flowers and plants were all wiped away. However, the terrifying 100-meter mutated tree did not even scream, but turned into fragments all over the ground in the blink of an eye, flowing out. The green blood almost formed a stream.
The old man was left paralyzed on the ground with trembling limbs, staring blankly at Lang Ren, who had not opened his eyes the whole time, walking like a machine, and just stared at him leaving.
Just now, was that the power of God?
"good…"
"So strong!"
…
"Have you heard that Lang Ren, who has been missing for two years, seems to be back and sleeping on the street?"
"It's impossible. The grass on Langren's grave is already more than two meters high. Didn't someone say that after Cutthroat Wind left two years ago, someone saw him enter the night and die in it? That's ten deaths. It’s a forbidden area without life! How can you come back alive?”
"Yes, if you leave the town after dark, without the protection of the priests in the town, you will definitely die if you enter the dark night. Let alone two years after leaving the town, it is a miracle to survive until dawn. Let's go and have a look. Maybe it is They are blinded.”
The dim light floated and the mist shrouded the rows of small tile-liang buildings covered with a light blue curtain. Along with the sound of "dong", the sound of the gong ringer echoed into thousands of households.
"Quiet Ye has left. Everyone comes to the ancestral hall to gather and prepare to worship the Bronze Priest and thank him for his blessing."
"The strange night leaves, everyone..."
"Stop beating the gong and come here quickly to see if this baby is Langren."
"Let me tell you, only Lang Ren has this problem of sleeping on the street after sleepwalking. But he has been missing for two years. Gee, why does this kid sleep like a dead pig? Try to wake him up. Bar."
The high and noisy sound flooded into his ears, buzzing like flies, which bored Lang Ren, who was sleeping soundly. It seemed as if something was touching his body, raising and lowering its hands.
This bad feeling made him frown and subconsciously opened his sleepy eyes.
High up, dense crowds of people cut the sky above into irregular shapes. A few aunts who got up early held cabbage in their hands, their lips opened and closed, and they pointed in their hands, as if they were talking.
There were two big men around him, sweating profusely and grabbing his hands and feet, their faces flushed.
What are they doing?
"I can't lift it, I can't lift it. Why is this baby so heavy? A mutant at the fifth stage of evolution weighs four hundred pounds at most. He is heavier than a mutant. It's outrageous."
"Is it that exaggerated? Look, he's awake, he's awake!"
Following a burst of shouting, an aunt waved her hand in front of Lang Ren's dazed eyes, with a strange look on her face, one that was both surprise and worry.
As she waved her hand, Langren, who had been a little dazed, suddenly came back to his senses.
kindness?
etc!
"Why am I here?" Looking around, he was shocked. Lang Ren suddenly lost all sleep and sat up suddenly.
He quickly touched his whole body and broke into a cold sweat. The next second, he was slightly stunned.
"Can I move?!"
"I'm back! I'm actually alive!" His eyes lit up with surprise, and Langren jumped up, then hugged the aunt in front of him, laughing excitedly, and his heart was filled with surprises for the rest of his life.
"…" Everyone.
The aunt who was being hugged patted Langren's back hard and said out of breath: "You are about to strangle me. Okay, okay, let me go." After that, she said with a fearless expression. Convinced, he continued with a suspicious look on his face: "Child, can you tell me who you are?"
"Third Aunt, you don't recognize me? I'm Ah Ren." After the surprise faded, Lang Ren let go of his hand and couldn't help but be startled when he looked at the unfamiliar expressions on the faces of the people around him.
Why do you feel like everyone has changed so much after not seeing each other overnight? A little weird.
"Oh my God, I knew you were still alive, poor child. Do you know how worried we were in the past two years when you disappeared? Your mother almost cried her eyes out. Tell me, where have you been in the past two years? You know how to come back!" Upon hearing this, the third aunt's eyes turned red with excitement, and she grabbed Lang Ren's back and patted her a few times, her expression full of blame but also full of concern.
She had watched Langren grow up, and she had been extremely anxious in the two years since he disappeared. She heard that someone had seen him disappear into the night, and she knew that it was a place that ate people without spitting out their bones, and she also knew that Langren I have been sleepwalking since I was a child and I can't control my health problems. I can only express my condolences and hope that the men in the town will wait until the strange night leaves and go to the dangerous area during the day, hoping to recover some bones.
Now with the appearance of Lang Ren, she was naturally surprised and happy.
On the side, as Lang Ren admitted, everyone around him dripped hot oil with cold water, and there was a "swish" sound, and it exploded in an instant!
However, facing the commotion around him, Lang Ren only felt a buzz in his head, his heart was confused, and his eyes were full of shock.
Disappeared for two years?
I was obviously still in the town yesterday, but I sleepwalked into that sinkhole. When I woke up, two years had passed?
What a joke, how is this possible! ?
"What nonsense are they talking about?" Lang Ren frowned as he looked at everyone's discussions and expressions.
"Poor baby, go back and see your mother. You don't even know how she has lived in the past two years..." The third aunt's eyes were red and she looked around with hesitation.
"What's wrong with my mother?" His words made Lang Ren's expression change, his heart suddenly tightened, and he had a bad premonition.
The third aunt looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
Seeing her expression, without any time to ask or think, Lang Ren quickly passed through the talking crowd and ran towards home.
And as he ran, his calves exerted force, and with a thud, they made a footprint in the dirt.
In the blink of an eye, Lang Ren rushed seven meters away at a terrifying speed. Suddenly, he stopped, causing the ground to tremble slightly. He frowned while everyone was stunned.
What's going on?
own body…
So heavy!
"My power seems to have become stronger. Could it be related to the fruit and the egg?" Lang Ren looked at his body in surprise. Thinking of the mysterious egg at the moment, he felt an unreal feeling of surviving a disaster.
There was the Son of God in that egg, and he was eating it like this?
Everything is like a dream.
The surprise caused by the change in strength quickly disappeared. Langren shook his head and chose to put his thoughts behind him. He had no intention of exploring the changes in his body now. The top priority was to rush back first.
The expressions on everyone's faces didn't look like they were faking it. If it was true that two years had passed as they said, it would be terrible. After all, from the third aunt's tone, it seemed like something unknown had happened.
Their family was already in difficulty. As the pillar of the family, if he really disappeared for two years, he couldn't imagine what kind of life his adoptive mother and sister would live...
"I hope nothing will happen." Langren's face was slightly worried.
And shortly after he left, the gong ringer bowed his head and exited the crowd, running towards a courtyard not far away.
"You mean Langren is back?"
In Li's house, beside the tea table, a handsome young man with a pair of pink and phoenix eyes sat on a chair, lowering his head and playing with his fingers quietly, unable to tell what he was thinking.
"Master Li Hua, it's confirmed." The gong-beater knelt on the ground and whispered.
"Reward."
As the voice fell, several copper money shields rolled in front of the gong-beater, making him happy and thanking him quickly.
"Interesting." Li Hua picked up the teacup, gently slid the tea lid over the edge of the cup, and smiled thoughtfully.
The next second, with a bang, the teacup fell to the ground without any warning, and a leaf and tea splashed on the gong-beater's cheek, which startled him and he quickly buried his head deeper, not daring to look up.
The young master Li in front of him was famous for his kindness in the town, but he didn't expect him to be so moody.
"You can come back after disappearing for two years, why didn't you die outside, why? Why?!" Li Hua's gentle smile suddenly turned into a ferocious one, veins bulged on his forehead, and he slammed the table heavily.
