Volume 1: First Arrival in a Different World Chapter 1: Caught Up in the Tide of Transmigration?
Liu Feng woke up from the darkness of his coma, his eyes slightly open, and what he saw was a lush green landscape swaying gently in the breeze.
Turned around, a ray of sunlight was shining down through the dense leaves of the tree forest, sparsely illuminating Liu Feng's messy hair.
Dazed and confused, Liu Feng sat up with a start after staring blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings for a long time.
"Ah", a mournful cry rang out, startling a flock of birds into flight. Liu Feng fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if his muscles were being pierced by countless needles, the pain was unbearable.
Cold sweat poured down from his forehead like water, and he kept sucking in cool air with his mouth. It wasn't until after a good while that the pain finally subsided slightly.
He let out a heavy sigh and lay on the ground, afraid to move again. He closed his eyes, constantly recalling... recalling...
"Wasn't I competing with my classmates in Warcraft 3 at the internet cafe? I had just chosen my character, still the usual Sword Saint BM, when the internet cafe lost power and the computer exploded, and then...I fainted?"
"Damn it", Liu Feng muttered under his breath, having no leads.
What happened afterwards? How did I get here? What is this place?
A string of confusing questions suddenly made Liu Feng's head bigger by several circles...
"Was he kidnapped?" Liu Feng was depressed. But then he immediately overturned this absurd reason.
"My god, I'm a trash student from a trash university, there's nothing on me worth kidnapping for, all my belongings put together aren't even worth 1000 yuan"
"Goodness, could it be that the descendant of the dinosaur from 'Jurassic Park' who was seen at school yesterday did this? She didn't say her husband was some kind of big shot in the 'Heaven and Earth Unmatched Gang', did she? Said they'd send someone to chop me up, I wonder if they've been kidnapped?"
"Oh no, I'm dying of pain! Damn it, heaven is so unfair! I haven't done anything morally wrong, and sometimes I even help old ladies cross the road... although... although I occasionally get the direction wrong, but at least my heart is in the right place!"
"Are you highly myopic with glaucoma? Your eyes are bad, why don't you go get a retinal surgery?"
After scolding for a long time, Liu Xuan felt his throat was a bit dry and he finally stopped. He had to recover first before knowing where he was and what happened.
Moved his fingers, the numbness had weakened a lot, and he slowly got up, although it still hurt, but it was no longer unbearable. He slowly moved to the side of a giant tree, Liu Feng clenched his teeth and squatted down.
Soon, Liu Feng's eyebrows furrowed heavily: "Damn it, how is this possible? What kind of tree is this? How can it have such a thick shell? Is it the latest species? I've never heard of such a strange tree on Earth, where is this place?"
A bunch of mysteries in his mind, making Liu Feng's already big head even bigger.
He shook his head vigorously, rubbed his temples gently with both hands, and kept thinking in his mind. Suddenly, he recalled the strange situation before, and his heart trembled suddenly, "Could this not be Earth?"
Liu Feng's hands trembled with fear at the powerful thought, and he involuntarily wailed in his heart, "No way, could I have actually crossed over?"
Although the idea was indeed somewhat powerful, relying on the super-tough nerves honed from lurking in the Phantom Forum on Earth, Liu Feng gradually believed this fact after a few minutes; otherwise, it would be impossible to explain this bizarre scene with any other reason.
"Who would have thought that I've caught up with the current trend of time-traveling, waaah, I'm really awesome!" Liu Feng couldn't help but bitterly laugh.
"Whatever, whatever. Since I've crossed over, I'll just cross over then. Anyway, on Earth, I was also a total failure, spending my days in a daze, no different from a walking corpse. Maybe I'll have a better life in this other world!!" Liu Feng quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Now, let's get out of this forest first and then think about what to do next. Hopefully, this other world is easier to navigate. After all, I'm a new human carrying a new culture, so it shouldn't be too difficult for me."
Half an hour later.
Liu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, muttering curses under his breath: "Damn it, what kind of ghost forest is this? We've been walking for so long and still haven't seen an exit. When will we ever get out of here?"
"Ugh, I'm not going any further, I'm exhausted", found a slightly cleaner spot, patted the dust off his butt and sat down.
She looked around and found that the forest was quite gloomy due to the dense foliage, which blocked most of the sunlight. The atmosphere was eerie, especially with the surrounding branches that seemed to be reaching out like skeletal fingers, creating a horror movie-like ambiance.
"Ahem" Liu Feng swallowed his saliva, feeling that the back of his heart was already soaked, and whispered to himself "How come this place seems so terrifying? I'm telling you, if we were to film a horror movie here, we wouldn't even need to prepare the background, just use the existing one".
"Waaa... Waaa..."
Suddenly a howling sound like a wolf's cry rose up, and judging from the sound, it seemed not far from Liu Feng.
Liu Feng struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes fixed intently on the direction of the howling sound. Cold sweat slowly appeared on his forehead, flowing into his eyes and stinging them. He didn't have time to wipe it away, quickly picking up a slightly thick tree branch from under him, stripping off the leaves, and gripping it tightly with both hands. This was now his lifeline, Liu Feng dared not fight bare-handed against a wild beast. He wasn't the legendary Wu Song, nor was he Schwarzenegger, the strongest man on earth. He was just an ordinary student, so ordinary that it was laughable. Although he had some biceps, they were only for impressing girls, and completely useless in this situation.
Although he didn't know whether this "outsider" was attractive to the local residents, he wouldn't go out of his way to find a wild beast brother to study it in depth.
The roar was getting closer and closer, Liu Feng seemed to have already smelled the stench from the air. From the dark forest shadows, a pair of bright red eyes slowly appeared, with killing intent pouring out unreservedly. As the distance got closer and closer, he finally saw the full appearance of this wild beast. Liu Feng now dared to proudly say while patting his chest: "I fucking really crossed over! I hope all those authors who write cross-over novels get struck by lightning and sent to another world, let them try that feeling."
This is a wolf-like beast, but it's much taller than a wolf, over one meter high, with a single horn on its forehead, shining with a dark color, and snow-white sharp teeth in its mouth, making Liu Feng want to ask: "What toothpaste do you use? Why does it have such good results?"
As they say, "good teeth, good appetite", it's clear that this lone wolf has a great appetite. Look, it's even drooling!
Foul-smelling saliva dripped continuously from the corner of his mouth, and his bright red eyes stared fixedly at Liu Feng, clearly with no good intentions.
Liu Feng is now shaking violently, if not for the fact that he was tightly clinging to the tree trunk, he might have already fallen to the ground with a thud. The sweat in his palms had coated the wooden stick with a layer of cold and slippery moisture.
The lone wolf seemed to enjoy the frightened expression of its prey in front of it, because normally, when encountering other ferocious beasts, it would be in this state itself. After all, who made itself the weakest here? So, to show its appreciation for the prey's cooperation, it curled up the corner of its mouth and gave Liu Feng a self-perceived "kind" smile.
But it seems that it differs from human aesthetic point of view, so the expressed meaning is also vastly different.
Liu Feng looked at the lone wolf's mouth, which was curled up in a smile, adding an even more ferocious look to its already extremely vicious beast face. In his heart, he couldn't help but cry out, "Damn it, this monster can still smile? But it's really TM terrifying. Are all the creatures here so intelligent? Waaah, mom, I want to go back to Earth, this place isn't fun anymore."
After being extremely frightened, a surge of anger suddenly welled up in his heart. "Hey, you want to eat me? First ask if the big stick in my hand agrees!" He raised the wooden stick and swung it fiercely at the lone wolf, shouting savagely, hoping that this monster would be intimidated by the temporary "aura of a king" that he had conjured up.
However, Liu seemed to not have grasped the "King's Aura" perfectly, and this display of momentum appeared as a blatant provocation in the eyes of the Lone Wolf. The Lone Wolf instantly became displeased, saying "You're just a small piece of trash, how dare you be so arrogant?" It let out a loud roar, and rapidly pounced towards Liu Feng, its sharp claws and teeth gleaming with dazzling blue light in mid-air.
Liu Feng relied on his good eyesight to spot the lone wolf's pounce, took a small step back, and swung the wooden stick heavily at its head.
The lone wolf's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, its paws lightly swaying, and the wooden stick snapped into several pieces.
Liu Feng was stunned and retreated several steps in a row, dodging the unicorn wolf's first round of attack. Just as the unicorn wolf was about to pounce again.
Liu Feng suddenly flew into a rage and shouted loudly: "You beast, don't be so arrogant, watch how I'll deal with you!"
The unicorn wolf was stunned by this sudden high-pitched sound, stopped its attack, lowered its front paws slightly, and prepared to strike again at any moment.
After the lone wolf stopped attacking, Liu Feng's feet were shoulder-width apart, his hands were raised to his chest, and his face was solemn. He seemed about to burst into a small universe at any moment. The lone wolf looked at Liu Feng with such momentum and did not dare to attack rashly, retreating several steps and taking on a defensive posture.
Liu Feng's eyes widened in anger, and he shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"
The sound had not yet fallen, and his feet had already carried his body flying backwards, quickly disappearing into the dark shadows of the forest, leaving behind a lone wolf that was stunned by Liu Feng's ultimate move.
