The iron in the blacksmith house in Shanhai Village is very ordinary iron, and the weapons made are of average quality.
Chen Zong had learned casting in his early years. Although it had been neglected for many years, his superb state and precise power control still allowed Chen Zong to continue to hammer ordinary iron blocks beyond the ordinary. The swords he forged were naturally more elaborate than those of the old blacksmith.
The hunting knife made is even harder and sharper.
The old blacksmith was very shocked, and Chen Zong gave some casual advice, which made the old blacksmith feel like he had found a treasure.
The sword is made of ordinary iron. Even if Chen Zong tries his best, it is only as hard and sharp as a fine iron sword. For ordinary people, it is a good weapon, but for Chen Zong, it is just so-so.
After getting the iron sword, the old blacksmith and the young blacksmith felt that Chen Zong's temperament seemed to have undergone some incredible changes.
"The sword wipes away the dust." The old blacksmith watched Chen Zong leave and secretly marveled.
Holding the sword in his left hand, Chen Zong walked calmly, as if following the wind and clouds, exuding a trace of indescribable sharpness.
The light in Chen Zong's eyes flashed slightly.
From the old blacksmith, Chen Zong learned some information. Sure enough, there were other people on the other side of the mountain, including villages and towns. This further strengthened Chen Zong's idea of crossing the mountain.
Leave, leave as soon as possible. Since I have been here for more than a month and have tried various methods but cannot find a way to break the illusion, I have no choice but to leave.
However, you still have to make yourself a leather armor to protect yourself.
Making leather armor was not difficult for Chen Zong, but in just one day, Chen Zong made a pair of leather armor that was exquisite in appearance and well-fitting. The whole body was brown, as well as arm and leg guards and a pair of leather boots. It looked fully armed.
Similar.
Without saying goodbye to the people in the village, Chen Zong walked out of the village wearing leather armor and holding an iron sword.
"Brother Zong, where are you going in this outfit?" someone greeted.
"Go and have a look in the mountains." Chen Zong said with a smile.
"In the mountains, you have to be careful and don't go deep. There are extremely ferocious beasts there."
Chen Zong nodded.
However, the plan could not keep up with the change. Chen Zong saw a figure running in panic in front of him approaching quickly. Behind the blood-stained figure was a group of extremely ferocious wolves. There were as many as a dozen wolves. Each one was
They are all about the size of a calf and look very strong.
The man who was running away in panic ran at extreme speed under the strong will to survive, keeping a certain distance from the evil wolf. But suddenly, he tripped on a stone under his feet, and he stumbled forward and fell forward. Suddenly, an evil wolf suddenly
It swooped over and bit the man's throat with its staggered sharp fangs, breaking it in one bite and killing him instantly.
Other evil wolves swooped up, bit it fiercely, divided it into pieces, and devoured it all.
Immediately, the strongest alpha wolf sniffed, and his green eyes shone with an extremely ferocious light, vaguely filled with excitement and bloodthirsty.
Immediately, the leading wolf let out a long roar, spread out its strong limbs, and ran forward like a gust of wind. The dozen or so wolves behind him also let out ferocious roars and ran away one after another.
Chen Zong, who was thousands of meters away, looked slightly solemn. The direction in which more than a dozen wolves were running was exactly the direction of Shanhai Village.
Just now, the villager Chen Zong also knew him. He was one of the hunters in the village. Not long ago, he teamed up with several other hunters to hunt in the mountains. Now it seems that those hunters are in danger.
Thousands of meters away, in the past, it could be crossed in an instant, but now, even if Chen Zong overdrafts his own overload, it will take some time to cross. Far water cannot save the nearby fire, and there is no way to save the opponent.
What's more, with my current abilities, it would inevitably be a hard fight against those dozen of surprisingly strong wolves.
His cultivation and strength were lost, but his intuition was still there. Chen Zong could sense the energy and blood filled in the strength of those dozen evil wolves, which was astonishing, several times that of an ordinary man.
The direction that more than a dozen wolves were running was clearly the direction of Shanhai Village.
According to Chen Zong's understanding, with the power of Shanhai Village, it is difficult to fight against these dozen evil wolves. Even if they can kill all the dozen evil wolves in the end, at least half of them will be killed or injured.
But, so what?
"This... is just an illusion." Chen Zong said to himself.
Since it is an illusion, then everything is false.
No matter how real it seems.
The day is fake, the ground is fake, the mountains are fake, the trees are fake, the water is fake, everything is fake, and people are also fake naturally.
It's all fake!
Since it's fake, why bother.
Even if Chen Zong got along well with them before, most of them were just looking for opportunities to break through the illusion.
Life and death have nothing to do with oneself.
Without moving his mind, Chen Zong stepped forward. After crossing several thousand meters, he saw a corpse whose flesh and blood had been chewed away. The bones were covered with marks from sharp teeth.
The bitten head fell to the side, eyes of deathly despair and fear were staring at Chen Zong, and his slightly opened mouth seemed to want to tell Chen Zong something.
Chen Zong's heart moved unconsciously, and an indescribable feeling emerged, as if he had been touched by some kind of softness.
A thought grew in his heart, telling him to turn around and return to the village, kill the dozen wolves and save the people in the village.
Chen Zong shook his head suddenly.
How is that possible!
After staying in Shanhai Village for more than a month, Chen Zong kept trying to find any possible way to break through the illusion, including living in harmony with everyone in the village, which was also a way for Chen Zong to break through the illusion.
But in the end they all failed.
For more than a month, the feeling of integrating into the village became stronger and stronger, giving Chen Zong a sense of crisis.
If you continue like this, maybe you will be assimilated, and in a true sense, you will become a part of Shanhai Village from body to soul.
If this is the case, then I will not have any thoughts of breaking through the illusion and escaping, and I will stay here in the illusion forever.
Thinking of this result, Chen Zong couldn't help but feel horrified.
Absolutely not!
I absolutely cannot immerse myself in this illusion, it is not what I want.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong eliminated the thoughts that emerged in his heart, withdrew his gaze and stared forward, and walked out with extremely firm steps.
I just don't know why, but as he walked, Chen Zong's pace was slowing down, as if he was hesitating.
The thoughts in my heart are getting stronger and stronger, almost becoming obsessions.
He raised his right foot and stepped forward, but it was still unable to land. There seemed to be an invisible force blocking it, but there was nothing.
As long as Chen Zong is willing, he can leave.
His eyes were shining endlessly, but his expression was struggling and uncertain.
The thoughts are violent, like a wild horse running wild, like a torrent bursting out of a dam.
"Illusion..."
"My true heart..."
The struggle in Chen Zong's eyes became more and more obvious.
In the past, Chen Zong had always acted according to his heart, but this time, he was struggling.
Because Chen Zong is convinced that this is an illusion. Since it is an illusion, it cannot be deceived.
But... could I be wrong?
The left hand holding the sword unconsciously exerted force, and veins protruded on the back of the hand, as if it was trying to break the iron sword into pieces.
Struggle, suffering!
Immediately, Chen Zong stepped out and dropped his hanging right foot violently, making a dull sound like a drum, as if he was about to crush the ground with one foot. He exhaled a long breath, and the struggle in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by something extremely sharp and extremely determined.
The sparkle of a sharp sword.
True heart!
Since you have followed your original intention from the beginning, let’s follow your original intention this time too.
Fantasy, too!
Whatever is true!
As long as you are determined enough, you can eliminate all interference.
So why waver?
It's just that your own will is not enough.
Suddenly, Chen Zong felt as if he had an epiphany, and a touch of dust from his mind was wiped away, becoming transparent and crystal clear.
I am who I am!
True me!
Self!
The original intention remains unchanged, unmoving, unwavering, and unconfused!
So why are you hesitating?
Turning around, Chen Zong stepped out with his right foot, walking firmly and quickly, taking one step directly two meters away. The moment his right foot just landed, a strong force rushed straight to the ground through the sole of his foot. The force rebounded, causing his right foot to bounce up, and his left foot
The feet also stepped out.
The upper body leans forward, the center of gravity shifts forward, the iron sword is held in the left hand, and the eyes become sharp. The whole person is like a vigorous and wild cheetah running in the wilderness chasing prey. The wind blows from the front and passes over the ears.
The side made a whining sound, and Chen Zong felt as if he was about to fly.
Of course, this is just an illusion caused by the increased speed.
It is quite astonishing that this body of an ordinary person can explode at such speed.
Gradually, Chen Zong heard the ferocious howling of the wolf, and also heard the weeping and bloody roars of the villagers in Shanhai Village. They were fighting for their lives.
Now fighting with those dozen evil wolves.
From the sound, Chen Zong judged that someone was injured, or even died.
Since he insisted on saving people, he couldn't delay. Chen Zong's speed became faster and faster, and his legs became slightly numb.
Go, go, go!
Saw it.
Chen Zong clearly saw the villagers holding hunting knives, hoes, sickles and other equipment, fighting against more than a dozen evil wolves.
More than a dozen evil wolves, led by the alpha wolf, attacked and killed them in an orderly manner. On the contrary, the villagers were not good at cooperating or fighting. They could only hold on for a while because of the large number of people.
But five people had already fallen into a pool of blood and died unexpectedly.
The villagers are like stragglers, while the dozen or so wolves are like well-trained elite soldiers. Their teeth and claws are extremely terrifying weapons, and they will be injured immediately upon contact.
If this situation continues, a dozen wolves may kill the entire village.
After all, the most powerful hunters in the entire village have died in the mountains. Although there are still young adults left who are good at farm work, they are not enough to fight against the wolves, and there are not many young adults.
.
Of the population of about a hundred, more than seventy are old, weak, women and children with weak fighting ability. The remaining twenty-odd are teenagers with average fighting ability. There are less than thirty young and middle-aged adults, and now there are only a dozen or so left.
Just one.
In such a comparison, how can it be the opponent of these dozen evil wolves, not to mention that among these dozen evil wolves, there is also the strongest and most ferocious alpha wolf. Its fighting power is completely comparable to three ordinary evil wolves.
, of the five people who died, three were killed by the wolf's sharp claws.
One hit!
With just one blow, the three people were disemboweled and died.
