It was already dark, and in the darkness, heavy breathing could be heard from a tree hole in the jungle, accompanied from time to time by a few painful low howls.
Outside the cave, the rain was like broken beads, falling continuously from the bottomless pit of night. The pouring rain made the trees in the forest "crackling", and the howling wind made it even more cold and quiet.
The wind blew through the tree hole, blowing a series of whistle-like sounds, and a bit of cool air came in from the hole. It was dark inside the tree hole, and only a huge beast lying on the ground could be vaguely seen.
figure.
That's a silver lion...
Its body was covered with wounds, and the red blood stains were particularly conspicuous. The blood caused the originally soft hair to form strands.
Yin Chen was in a daze, feeling hot all over his body, as if he was in a dream, but also in reality.
But when he thought of those fish monsters with their big mouths open and frantically trying to drag him into the mire, he realized that he was indeed a little injured now, and he was looking for it in the jungle not far from the foggy sea swamp.
He came to live in a tree hole.
Despite all the precautions, he failed to guard against it and was tricked by Mu Nanxing again. He is really stupid...
So he must be dreaming now.
He dreamed of many things.
I dreamed about the day of my coming-of-age ceremony.
At that time, he defeated a mammoth with his own strength. The tribesmen in the tribe were very surprised and praised him as a warrior who would become the tribe leader in the future! His mother and other tribesmen were busy preparing for him a coming-of-age ceremony. The tribe
It was full of laughter and lively.
He was also very happy. His soul power had improved again, which meant that he had a better chance of being recognized by his father! He couldn't help but want to share the good news with his father.
His father is the leader of the tribe. He is powerful and very convincing in the tribe. He is not only the greatest father in his mind since he was a child, but also the warrior he admires most! He has always wanted to be a brave and wise warrior like his father, and will become a warrior in the future.
The patriarch leads the tribe to glory!
If, if it hadn't been for that day, nothing would have changed...
No, maybe it was wrong from the beginning, but he never dared to admit this fact...
"Yin Chen is pretty good, he's about to catch up with you and me!"
He heard Uncle Shi say with emotion.
"Well, that's good! He can even hunt things like mammoths, which is enough to prove his ability." The father responded.
He couldn't help but smile on his face. Although his father didn't say it explicitly, facts proved that his father really approved of him!
Just as he was about to go in, he heard some more words.
And those words made him feel as if cold water had been poured all over his body, it was bitingly cold!
"This kind of bloodline is indeed powerful. He is worthy of being that person's heir! But it's a pity..."
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Be careful not to let others hear you."
"No, today is Yin Chen's coming-of-age ceremony. They are all busy. I told no one to disturb me."
"That's good. What? Changed your mind? Yes, after all, after raising it for so many years, even an ordinary mixed-haired beast should develop feelings."
A hairy beast...Uncle Shi has never spoken to him in this tone before...
That person's heir? What does that mean...
"He is the most useful weapon I have spent so many years developing. If he relies on this kind of strength, he will be able to reach that position sooner or later."
"Hahaha... Why are you pretending to be a pity now? If you hadn't exchanged him for him back then, without relying on his strength, that position should have been his! Now, since that position already belongs to your biological son, what else can you do?
What's such a pity? Isn't this the result you want? Even Yinchen's mother doesn't know the truth, and your methods are also powerful."
"Haha... just a stupid female. It's not enough. It was good luck back then. Who would have known that that person turned out to be the master of the Silver Demon Empire? But this good luck just happened to fall on me. Everyone is a member of the Silver Lion clan. Changed
Just changed it, didn't he not see it anyway? He has raised me for so many years, and now I have passed the position to him, this is all destined." He heard his father say lightly.
"What I want is not only the position, but also the bloodline. Although they are all from the Silver Lion clan, the empire's bloodline is more powerful. Since there is no way to transfer the bloodline of Silver Chen to my son, then I will find a way.
Let Yin Chen become the most useful knife in his hand and use it for him! By then, the entire Yin Sha Empire will be ours! Whatever you want, you can have it!"
That tone, the greed and indifference in the tone made him feel extremely strange.
The father he admired was not like this...
"Haha... you really can imagine how cruel it is to ask him to be a legionnaire to someone who stole his identity!"
"Hmph, there's something even more ruthless... By the way, it wasn't you who came up with the idea of replacing someone in the first place? Why are you pretending?"
There was laughter from time to time inside, as if the two of them were expressing their thoughts about the future.
Yin Chen couldn't help but shudder. He felt that his ears were buzzing and he seemed to be unable to hear anything.
He walked back in a daze, and faced the questions from his mother and tribe members, he still pretended that nothing happened.
He celebrated with them, laughed with them, and listened to the congratulations read to him by his father and Uncle Shi.
But he knew that everything had changed.
If he is not his father's child, then whose child is he? By the way, they seem to have said that he is the Lord of the Silver Evil Empire, a person who seems to only exist in rumors, such a high status!
No wonder, no wonder, from a young age, no matter how good or outstanding he was, his only words would always be: "It's not enough, you have to become stronger!"
He has always been strict with him, and it seems that he has never had the love that belongs to his father that he can get every day. He always only has that seemingly encouraging word...
So what? What happens after you become stronger?
To be the most useful knife in his mouth? Or to be the legionnaire of the person who stole his life?
His admiration and belief became a joke. What was he living for in his previous life...
He wanted to find a place to yell and vent, but he couldn't.
He couldn't let them discover anything strange, let alone his mother!
By the way, don't they want him to become stronger and let him sacrifice his life for others? Why should he let them get their wish?
His previous life was like a joke. He kept working hard for his words, but in the end he realized that his silver dust was nothing to him! Now that he already knows, should he still let it go?
Did he continue pretending not to know anything? Shouldn't he hate it?!
He still works as hard as usual, even harder than before! He wants them to know how painful his life is, and let them know that sooner or later, his knife will bite them back!
So, he has to live! Yes, live!
He has to get his life back! You have to ask him if he has ever regretted it...
"Rumble..."
The thunder outside was deafening, and the lightning flashed across in an instant, like a gaping hole in the night.
Suddenly there was a bright light inside the tree hole.
Yin Chen howled in pain, and the sudden stinging sensation completely woke him up from his half-dream state.
The pain became more and more obvious, reaching the point where he couldn't bear it, and he couldn't help but roar.
The howls of wild beasts resounded through the jungle, startling the birds that were resting at night.
Is the injury caused by the fish monster not caused by that thing? Could it be poisonous?
Yin Chen's body rolled on the ground in pain. He suddenly remembered that when he escaped from the mouth of the fish monster, there was a strange thing in the swamp. It looked like white bones. He thought it was an ordinary corrupted bone, but he didn't expect it.
The thing seemed to melt when it touched his blood.
He didn't have time to notice it at the time, he just felt that the juice formed by the thing seemed to flow into his wound.
So is it now a toxic episode?
He didn't know how long it took, but when he thought he was about to die, the pain gradually subsided. What he felt next was a warm current in his body, which seemed to flow between his limbs and bones, pulling him away.
The body that was almost stiff with cold slowly warmed up.
Yin Chen took a breath, and his vision finally became clearer.
He took on human form and had no strength to put on clothes, so he had to lie naked on the ground for a while before turning over and sitting up.
"What's going on..." He raised his hand in confusion.
When he was stunned, he found dots of silver light condensed on his fingertips. He thought it was because he was dazzled. When he blinked and looked again, he found that the silver light was still there, and it seemed to be
It changes according to his mood.
If he wants it to come out, it will come out; if he doesn't want it to come out, it will disappear again.
Yin Chen frowned, this thing seemed to be a kind of power, but it was different from soul power.
