Chapter 174 Magnificent
Chapter 174 Magnificent
At the same time, a picture emerged in his mind: a towering palace, shrouded in clouds and mist, magnificent and golden, like a fairyland.
"This is..." Qi Tongwei's eyes suddenly widened, and an incredible thought rose from the bottom of his heart.
Could it be... that I have traveled through time and space into a game? !
Qi Tongwei felt dizzy and countless images flashed through his mind. The memory fragments and NPCs that originally belonged to the "Yunding Palace" were now playing clearly in front of his eyes like a movie.
"So that's it... So that's it!" Qi Tongwei struggled out of the torrent of memories, his eyes full of disbelief.
He really traveled into the game, and became the most useless NPC in the game—the unlucky guy also named Qi Tongwei!
"This is really fucked up. Others who traveled through time become the Chosen One or Long Aotian, but why did I end up with such a crappy identity?" Qi Tongwei couldn't help but curse in a low voice, his heart filled with resentment.
At this moment, the crisp sound of weapons colliding, accompanied by the woman's cry, pulled Qi Tongwei back from his thoughts. He looked up and saw the woman in green fighting with the men in black. Her figure was erratic, her sword flashing, like a goddess from heaven descending to earth, so beautiful that nothing could compare.
However, those men in black were obviously not pushovers. Their moves were ruthless and deadly. They surrounded the woman and their attack was like a storm, making her gradually unable to resist.
"Damn it, time to be a hero and save the beauty!" Qi Tongwei made up his mind. He was just an NPC now anyway, so if he died, he would just have to reload the save file.
Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei no longer hesitated. He picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and smashed it hard at the guy on the outermost edge of the crowd of men in black.
"Ouch!" The man in black was hit on the back of the head unexpectedly. He screamed and fell to the ground.
"Who?!" Seeing this, the other men in black stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Qi Tongwei, their eyes full of vigilance.
Qi Tongwei chuckled, patted the dust off his hands, and said arrogantly: "Grandpa, I will never change my name, my surname, Qi Tongwei! You bastards, how dare you bully a beautiful woman in broad daylight, you are tired of living, right?"
"Looking for death!" The leader of the men in black became furious upon seeing this. With a command, several men in black immediately pounced towards Qi Tongwei.
"Just in time!" Qi Tongwei was secretly delighted. He was just worried that he couldn't find an opportunity to test his current strength, and then this group of men in black came to his door. It's like if there's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you come to it!
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Qi Tongwei dodged the attacks of the men in black flexibly, and at the same time, he fought back mercilessly with his fists and feet when the time was right. Although he had never learned any martial arts, he had played "Yunding Tiangong" for ten years, and was familiar with all the skills and combat techniques in the game.
More importantly, the game world he was in now didn't seem as simple as he imagined...
"Bang!" Qi Tongwei punched a man in black in the chest, but it felt like he hit a steel plate, and a piercing pain came from his fist.
"This..." Qi Tongwei was shocked. The strength of this group of men in black seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Roar!" A deafening roar came from a distance, as if it came from an ancient ferocious beast, carrying a heart-pounding pressure.
"Not good!" The black-clothed leader's face changed, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "Retreat quickly!"
After saying that, he no longer wanted to fight, and disappeared into the night in a flash. Seeing this, the other men in black also turned around and fled.
"What's going on?" Qi Tongwei looked at the fleeing backs of the men in black, his heart full of doubts. What on earth could have scared these desperate criminals so much?
He turned to look at the woman in green, only to see that she was also looking into the distance with a serious expression, her eyes full of worry.
"Girl, what happened?" Qi Tongwei couldn't help but ask.
"Demonic energy... Such a strong demonic energy..." The woman murmured to herself, her tone full of fear and anxiety, "Could it be..."
Her face suddenly turned pale, and she grabbed Qi Tongwei's arm and said anxiously, "Let's go! It's dangerous here!"
After saying that, she took Qi Tongwei's hand and ran away.
"Hey, wait for me!" Qi Tongwei was caught off guard and was pulled by her to stagger forward, his heart full of confusion and curiosity. What was going on?
Where are they going?
What was that thing that made that terrifying roar?
Qi Tongwei was pulled by the woman in green, running wildly all the way, the whistling of the wind in his ears could not cover up the increasingly clear and terrifying roar of the beast. He could not help but look back, and saw a huge black shadow in the night sky in the distance, rushing towards them at an astonishing speed.
"What is that?" Qi Tongwei asked while panting.
The woman in green did not answer, but gritted her teeth and pulled him to run faster.
"Hey, say something! Where are we going?" Qi Tongwei was anxious. This woman didn't say a word and just kept running wildly. He didn't even know where to escape!
"Shut up! If you want to die, just shout!" The woman in green suddenly stopped and turned back to glare at him, her beautiful eyes full of anger. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will throw you here to feed the monsters!"
Qi Tongwei was frightened by her sudden anger and dared not speak any more. He then noticed that the woman in green was terribly pale and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, obviously she was physically exhausted.
"Are you okay?" Qi Tongwei's heart softened, and his tone became much softer, "How about you take a rest?"
The woman in green ignored him, took a deep breath, and pulled him forward again.
"What a weird woman..." Qi Tongwei muttered in his heart, but didn't dare to say anything else. He could only follow her obediently.
They ran all the way and finally arrived at a valley.
"We're here! This is it!" The woman in green pointed to the depths of the valley and said to Qi Tongwei, "Go in quickly. I'll lead the monster away!"
"What?!" Qi Tongwei was shocked when he heard that. "Are you crazy?! That's a monster! How can you be its opponent alone?!"
"Stop talking nonsense! If we don't go in, we will both die!" The woman in green pushed Qi Tongwei into the valley, then turned and rushed towards the black shadow.
"Hey! Come back!" Qi Tongwei wanted to chase after him, but was bounced back by an invisible force and fell heavily to the ground.
"Damn it!" Qi Tongwei struggled to get up, but could only watch the woman in green being swallowed by the black shadow.
"Roar!" The deafening roar of the beast sounded again, and the whole valley trembled. Qi Tongwei felt his ears buzzing, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.
He suppressed the fear and anxiety in his heart and walked towards the depths of the valley. He knew that now was not the time to be sad and desperate, he had to find a safe place to hide in order to survive!
The valley was pitch black, with only the faint roars of beasts coming from afar, adding to the terrifying atmosphere. Qi Tongwei groped his way forward, his heart filled with fear and uneasiness.
"What the hell is this place? How could there be such a horrible monster?!" Qi Tongwei couldn't help but curse, his heart filled with regret. If he had known earlier, he would not have tried to be a hero and save that woman!
At this moment, his feet felt empty and he suddenly lost his balance and fell into the abyss!
"Ah!" Qi Tongwei screamed in terror, and everything went dark before his eyes...
Qi Tongwei felt like he was stuffed into a huge washing machine, his head spinning and his internal organs all tangled up. He didn't know how long it took before this upheaval finally disappeared. He opened his eyes weakly and found himself lying on a soft patch of grass.
"Fortunately, I didn't fall to death..." Qi Tongwei struggled to get up, brushed off the dust on his body, and was thankful for his good fortune.
Looking around, he found himself in a valley. The valley was full of green trees, birds singing, flowers blooming, the air was fresh, and the scenery was pleasant, which was completely different from the gloomy and terrifying valley before.
"Could it be... this is another place?" Qi Tongwei's heart moved. Could it be that when he fell, he accidentally triggered some hidden map?
"Hey! Kid, are you okay?"
A rough voice suddenly sounded behind him, startling Qi Tongwei. He turned around and saw a burly man with a full beard standing not far behind him, holding a huge machete in his hand.
When the big man saw Qi Tongwei woke up, he shouldered the machete and strode over. He looked him up and down and said, "You are lucky. You fell from such a high cliff and you are not hurt at all."
"Cliff?" Qi Tongwei was stunned. "I...am I not in the valley?"
The big man laughed loudly, pointed behind Qi Tongwei and said, "Boy, look behind you, what is that?"
Qi Tongwei turned around in confusion and was stunned.
Behind him, there was no valley at all, but a bottomless abyss!
The dark abyss was bottomless, like a giant beast that would choose its prey and devour its prey, emitting a heart-pounding chill.
"How...how did I get here?" Qi Tongwei asked stutteringly, pointing at the abyss.
"How should I know?" The big man rolled his eyes. "When I found you, you were lying there, like a dead person."
Qi Tongwei was suddenly speechless. He couldn't figure out how he had managed to run from the bottom of the abyss to the top of the cliff.
"What's your name, kid?" the big man asked.
"Qi Tongwei." Qi Tongwei answered subconsciously.
