Chapter 116 Shock
Chapter 116 Horrifying
Night had fallen. In a barracks at the Xiao family's residence, a single lamp flickered. Xiao Jia sat upright under the lamp, holding the newly acquired Zhentian Bow in his hand, examining it closely.
After a day of hard fighting, the Xiao family members who rushed to the city wall with Yin Feng to provide support were all exhausted and went to sleep early.
Xiao Chong had charged into the beast horde three times and was now somewhat exhausted, but he had no desire to sleep.
He had a feeling that the attack by the wolf-faced silver bear during the day was just the beginning, and that the beast pack would definitely make a bigger move next.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Wild beasts that have always lived deep in the southern wilderness have now come to the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains and launched an attack on the pioneering team. Such a thing has never been heard of before.
From the beast's unusual behavior, Xiao Chong vaguely sensed a conspiracy.
He felt that the best way to escape this danger was to make a quick getaway before the situation deteriorated beyond repair.
On the other hand, he was reluctant to leave the Southern Wilderness. Putting aside the question of how to explain it to his family after returning, the large amount of spirit stones he had acquired during this time also made him extremely attached to this place.
Danger and opportunity go hand in hand. Once he left the Southern Wilderness, he didn't think he would always encounter such easy opportunities to make money.
Why was he so poor before? He was determined to earn his first pot of gold in the Southern Wilderness.
Therefore, apart from instructing the Xiao family members to secretly pack their belongings so that they could escape at the fastest speed at any time, he spent the rest of his time on how to improve his strength.
In the world of Tianyun Continent, where strength reigns supreme, only power truly matters. Only those with great strength can live a prosperous life, free from the constraints of others' opinions, and able to do as they please.
Moreover, every bit of improvement in strength brings a greater chance of survival, and everything belongs entirely to oneself, which no one else can take away.
It was with this in mind that Xiao Chong decided to carefully study the newly acquired Heaven-Shaking Bow.
No one knows the origin of the Heaven-Shaking Bow, nor how it ended up in the Heng family, but one thing Xiao Chong is certain of is that this bow must have come from his original world.
In Xiao Chong's mind, everything that came from his original world was incredibly powerful. This was true of the general outline of the "Nine Transformations of the Stars" technique, the Purple Cloud Cauldron, the cauldron spirit, and himself.
Well, whether the cauldron spirit is really that powerful remains to be seen, and it's too early to talk about my future achievements. Let's talk about the Heaven-Shaking Bow first.
Although the bow didn't show much power during the day, the heart-pounding feeling he had when he first got his hands on it piqued Xiao Chong's interest.
Now, the Heaven-Shaking Bow lies quietly in Xiao Chong's hand, ancient and worn, looking no different from when it was daytime.
He had to take it one step at a time, first sensing the desolate atmosphere of that time. After looking for a long time without discerning anything, Xiao Chong changed his approach and began to slowly perceive it with his divine sense.
Holding the bow in one hand and stringing it with the other, Xiao Chong gently ran his fingers across the bow, adjusted his breathing, and gradually calmed his mind, entering a wonderful state of complete absorption in the world around him.
After an unknown amount of time, the Heaven-Shaking Bow in his hand seemed to twitch again. Startled, Xiao Chong gently opened his eyes.
The pure white moonlight shone in through the window, gilding the Heaven-Shaking Bow with a silvery glow. The bow suddenly gleamed slightly and trembled once more, and the ancient and desolate aura of the daytime resurfaced from the depths of my heart.
Sure enough, things have changed! Xiao Chong's gaze darkened as he looked at the Heaven-Shaking Bow.
The Heaven-Shaking Bow trembled slightly, its surface shimmering with silver light, forming exquisite and mysterious patterns.
The patterns kept changing, so beautiful that they were mesmerizing. Xiao Chong was captivated and could not look away.
The Heaven-Shaking Bow in my field of vision began to blur...
The world became desolate, with a sea of clouds churning in the distance, as if that were the end of the sky.
The mountains rise majestically, piercing the clouds. Ancient trees reach for the sky, and exotic flowers and herbs grow among them. Rare birds and animals, never seen before, run and frolic in the mountains, creating a beautiful and ancient landscape.
My gaze swept across the towering mountains and came to rest beside a majestic river.
Xiao Chong swore that he had never seen this great river before, neither in his past life nor this one. But for some reason, this river gave Xiao Chong a sense of familiarity and warmth, as if it were a… mother river?
My gaze continued to sweep across the riverbank, where groups of people flashed by, one after another, like tiny tribes.
These people lived a primitive and savage lifestyle, wearing animal skins or even leaves. During the day, the strong men would go out hunting, and when they returned at night, they would gather around a fire to roast their prey, which would then be distributed to the elderly, women, and children.
Gradually, they learned to farm and plant. Life was no longer as impoverished as before, nor were they constantly on the move. Men sang in the fields, women mended clothes at home, and children played by the river. Though their lives were not wealthy, they were peaceful, tranquil, and filled with joy.
Isn't this a condensed history of human evolution? Being able to witness such a great miracle firsthand moved Xiao Chong to tears.
However, things change, and in the blink of an eye, the world has transformed.
As time passed, ten suns appeared in the sky.
The earth was scorched, the rivers were steaming, thick smoke billowed from the mountains and forests, flames raged everywhere, and the fields were barren for miles around, yielding no harvest. People were going to die from the heat and from starvation.
The disasters didn't end there. Aquatic creatures and wild animals that had lived peacefully in rivers and forests with humans began to emerge and wreak havoc on humanity.
People keep dying in the fields, their bodies are dumped in the streets, and they keep being devoured by wild animals. This land is rapidly becoming a living hell.
In this critical moment, someone finally stepped forward!
In Xiao Chong's eyes, this man was over ten feet tall, with a dignified appearance, dressed in white, and was a spirited and fine young man.
The man in white, carrying a short bow on his back, stood between heaven and earth. Compared to the vastness of the world, he was small in stature, yet possessed an imposing presence, as if he could pierce the sky. And the short bow behind him vaguely resembled the Heaven-Shaking Bow.
The legendary story of Yi shooting down the sun? If that's true, doesn't that mean the Heaven-Shaking Bow is very likely a divine artifact left behind by Yi? I'm rich!
Xiao Chong stared intently, his heart pounding with excitement!
Why does the man in white only have a bow and no arrows? Could it be that the sun in the sky is like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, and will fall down if the bowstring is plucked twice?
Noticing this detail, Xiao Chong stared intently at the man in white, not daring to miss a single thing.
Under Xiao Chong's watchful gaze, the man in white slowly took down the short bow from behind him, grasped the bow with his right hand, then straightened his legs, took a step back, leaned back, pinched the bowstring with his left thumb, index, and middle fingers, pulled it to a full moon shape, and raised it diagonally towards the sky!
Is it really that amazing? To shoot down the sun without arrows? I have to learn this properly! Xiao Chong's eyes widened, and his palms were sweating with excitement.
The man in white faced the sky, his eyes slightly closed, his brows furrowed, as if he were preparing some kind of emotion.
What's going on? It looks like it's in a lot of pain. It's almost like a hemorrhoid patient having difficulty defecating.
Xiao Chong held his breath, strained his lower abdomen, and secretly worried for the man in white.
Suddenly, the man in white opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with divine light as he stared intently at the sun in the sky. Most miraculously, a feathered arrow, gleaming with black light, appeared out of thin air on the bowstring between his fingers.
Huh? Where did this arrow come from? Xiao Chong was taken aback.
"Ha!" Before Xiao Chong could recover, the man in white let out a soft shout, and the feathered arrow had already transformed into a streak of light, flying into the sky.
This arrow completely exceeded Xiao Chong's understanding; its momentum, power, and speed were beyond description!
The winds raged, the sky and earth changed color, and the feathered arrow exploded in the sky, bursting into a dazzling light. After the light faded, one of the suns in the sky had disappeared.
Under Xiao Chong's seemingly idiotic gaze, the man in white fired eight more arrows in quick succession.
When the light in the sky faded, only one of the ten suns remained, hanging alone in the sky, looking warm and gentle.
Having accomplished all this, the man in white sheathed his bow, stood still, and exhaled a white cloud of energy, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, like a deity.
At this point, Xiao Chong was absolutely certain that this person was the legendary Yi, and this video was of Yi shooting down the suns. The great river he had seen earlier was the Yellow River, the birthplace of Chinese civilization.
As descendants of Yan and Huang, though we are in a foreign land, to be able to see our ancestors is surely the greatest fortune in life! My humble knees are but a token of my respect; hero, please accept my bow!
Xiao Chong's heart stirred, and he was about to step forward to meet him and ask him what was going on with that feathered arrow that appeared out of thin air.
Just then, the man in white seemed to sense something and suddenly looked at him, his eyes empty and cold, devoid of any emotion.
Then, with a soft twang of the bowstring, another arrow appeared out of thin air and flew out of the bow, seemingly traversing thousands of miles of void, heading straight for Xiao Chong's face!
I admired you so much, yet you tried to kill me without even knowing the truth. You are truly heartless and ungrateful, a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. No wonder your wife ran away. You deserve it!
Xiao Chong was terrified by the sudden change. He cursed and turned to flee, but in his haste, he tripped and fell.
"Hiss..." A flash of light, and the black feathered arrow dropped down, arriving in front of Xiao Chong in an instant.
They can even shoot down the sun, killing me would be a piece of cake! My life is over! Xiao Chong was so anxious he was about to faint.
As if sensing his anxiety and fear, the "Forging God Chapter" within his body suddenly started operating automatically, allowing his consciousness and mind to recover for a moment.
Taking advantage of this moment of clarity, Xiao Chong bit his tongue, shook his head vigorously, and completely woke up from the illusion.
Still in his own room, the Heaven-Shaking Bow lay quietly in his palm, as if nothing had happened, except that his clothes were completely soaked through.
