Chapter 8 The Mysterious Core
“Hu—Hu—”
Mu Yun gasped hard, his hands, which were holding the gun bar desperately, began to tremble a little. Mu Yun knew that it was the feeling of his muscles being about to cramp.
I can't hold on anymore.
Time seems to have passed very long at this moment.
"Puchi!"
Mu Yun, who was struggling to hold on, suddenly felt a knife-like pain, and almost let go of his hands. The green eyes of Youyue Wolf exuded a fierce light. Seeing that he could not bite Mu Yun, his claws swung forward, and crossed Mu Yun's chest and arms, bringing up a string of blood beads. The smell of blood at hand was even more irritating Youyue Wolf, and his movements became even more violent. His head swung wildly, and his saliva splashed everywhere, which greatly increased Mu Yun's pressure.
Mu Yun's body became weaker and weaker, and his consciousness became blurry. The figure of the wolf in front of him and the firelight shining from a distance seemed more and more confused in his eyes.
Are you going to die again?
At this moment, Mu Yun recalled the moment before his death in his previous life. Mu Yun was helpless in avoiding the melee around him, shouting for killing everywhere, but in the end he could not avoid it and was chopped to the ground with a knife.
When consciousness returned to this moment, the shouts of people around him and the howls of the wolf were mixed together, vaguely as if they were not real. Mu Yun felt the loss of blood, his body became increasingly weak, thinking that he might be swallowed by the wolf's mouth in front of him in the next moment.
I'm not willing to...
Is it going to die again after only a month when I came to this world? Will there be a chance to be reborn again? Maybe it’s gone. I haven’t been able to take a good look at this world yet, and in the end I just fell into eternal silence and disappeared.
Maybe, it is a relief to stop thinking, right?
When Mu Yun thought of this, he suddenly felt panic.
I can't die, nor do I want to die!
I want to live!
Thinking of this, Mu Yun's consciousness gradually became clear, and the shouts of killing around him became clear. There seemed to be a surge of strength in his body, and his suppressed arms were stubbornly supported again.
Not enough, not enough!
After only a stalemate for a while, Mu Yun felt that the strength in his body was lost again, and he could only grit his teeth and try to support him. If someone noticed him at this moment, he could see the hideous face and blood-filled eyes on his face.
Time passed by little by little. Although his physical strength was gradually disappearing, Mu Yun's consciousness gradually became concentrated. The shouts of killing around him seemed to stop, and the burning fire seemed to be extinguished, and it was everywhere to fall into darkness. Mu Yun's eyes were the only ghost moon wolf in front of him. Finally, even the ghost moon wolf disappeared in front of him. All he saw was a ball of light emitting faint white light, and there was a cluster of beating white flames in the middle of the light ball.
What's this?
Mu Yun looked at the flame in confusion, and for some reason a thought flashed through his mind, grabbed it! He naturally stretched out his hand. But at that moment Mu Yun widened his eyes and saw that the stretched out hand was not a normal hand! Or it was not real, and the color was vaguely the same as that ball of light, and his five fingers were not clear.
Just as his hand touched the flame, Mu Yun felt a bloodthirsty, violent, and chaotic feeling coming to him along the hand. He gritted his teeth and continued to stretch forward and grabbed the flame.
At that moment, time seemed to pause at that moment, and then he saw the flame struggling wildly. His body shook, and the darkness around him retreated. Mu Yun saw the burning fire again, and he also heard people's shouts and howls of the wolf in front of him.
Um?
Mu Yun was stunned when he looked at the wolf in front of him. The head of Youyue Wolf that originally wanted to bite Mu Yun was trembling wildly. The green eyes seemed to have human fear. It was originally pressing Mu Yun and it was kicking its front paws to leave. Mu Yun didn't rush to think about it. Seeing Youyue Wolf's reaction seemed to want to escape, he felt cruel in his heart, and his body seemed to have strength. His hand, which was originally holding a spear, released, hugged the wolf's body tightly, opened his teeth, and bit on Youyue Wolf's neck. Blood slowly flowed down from the corner of Mu Yun's mouth.
The Youyue Wolf struggled even harder and wanted to break free, but Mu Yun also hugged him tightly, like an octopus, even if the Youyue Wolf kept shaking, he could not throw it off.
What Mu Yun didn't see was that at the position of his chest, the mysterious sphere was constantly rotating as if it was alive, and all the patterns spread across the sphere were lit up. With each rotation, a suction force was transmitted outward, and the soul flame of the Youyue Wolf that extended outward was dimmed.
The movements of Youyue Wolf gradually slowed down from the initial crazy struggle, and his eyes became dim and spiritless. Finally, his whole body trembled. After a whine sounded from his mouth, he fell to the ground with a "bang". There was no movement anymore. Mu Yun, who was tangling Youyue Wolf, also no sound. Even in the end, he did not let go of his hands holding the wolf tightly.
After a while, the shouts of killing gradually stopped, and there were no knowing how many were killed. In the end, people's arms were just mechanically repeating the same movements, lifting, chopping down, and continuing to lift and chopping down. The wolves became sparse. With a howl, Captain White cut off the head of the last wolf, and looked around and saw the ground full of wolves' corpses.
"Pooh!"
Captain White spitted out the blood foam that was stained with his mouth and shouted to the mercenaries around him: "You guys check if there are any dead wolves. Others treat the wounded and count the number of people to see how much they have lost. Hell, after walking this road so many times, I have encountered wolves attacks. Why did they become so many this time?"
President Jig came over in the distance, panting, "This is not right. I often walk this road. I have encountered many attacks on wolves. Most of them are just a dozen wolves, and the most are dozens. Look at it now, there must be at least hundreds of them."
Captain White pondered for a moment and said, "When I arrived at the royal city, I will go to the guild to report the situation. The guild should issue a mission to explore the Youyue Forest. Maybe there is something unusual in the depths of the forest. I have been calm here for a long time."
President Jige nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I have to investigate, otherwise I have to take a detour when I go back and forth to the royal city. How much time will it take? If you didn't hire you this time, oh, then I will never be able to enjoy delicious food again. Oh, by the way, where is my son?" I suddenly remembered something. President Jige hurriedly turned around and looked around.
"Little Jig! Little Jig!"
"Here, Father...I'm here!" A figure stumbled from a distance, and it was Xiao Jige.
President Jig looked at his son's face, but his body had no wounds, so he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was okay.
Xiao Jige looked around for a while, and his legs were trembling and asked his father, "Where is Mu Yun, where has he been?"
President Jig looked at his son in confusion, "Isn't he with you?"
"At first, yes, but after the wolf ran in, it was chaotic everywhere and it went apart." Xiao Jige was still scared when he remembered the situation just now.
"Then go and look for it. It's not that it was killed by a wolf." President Jig said, and called a few servants to search the camp.
Not long after, a servant from a distance shouted: "Finished! Here!" The father and son and Captain White rushed over together after hearing this.
Looking at the wolf and the man hugging the wolf, Mu Yun's mouth was still biting the wolf's neck tightly. Captain White's eyes were full of appreciation, "Good boy, it seems that he killed a wolf alone, although it was just a young wolf." As he said that, he walked over and squatted down, touched his nose, and pressed his heart to feel it. "I'm still alive, although very weak, a few people over there come to help carry him into the car and bandage him the wound."
President Jige looked at Mu Yun, turned his head to look at his son, and slapped him on the back of his head, "Look at him, he can kill the wolf alone, you still have to rely on the guards to protect him."
Little Jig shrank his neck and whispered: "He is a warrior, I am a mage."
"What a big deal, the warrior, they haven't even reached the first level yet, how bad are you and him?"
Xiao Jig responded noddedly, and said nothing more.
President Jige looked at Mu Yun who was lifting into the carriage and narrowed his eyes, "At such a young age, he has such courage. This entrance exam should not be difficult for him. Xiao Jige, you have to have a good relationship with him in the college at that time, and maybe you can help you in the future."
"I don't know if I can pass..."
"Bang!" Another slap on the back of Xiao Jige's head.
"Report!" At this moment, a guard ran towards him from a distance.
"Tell me, how is the counting?" President Jig turned his head and looked at the guard.
"The cargo was not a big loss, but two horses were killed, three were injured, and... two people were killed, and most of the others were slightly injured."
Upon hearing the guard's report, President Jig's face suddenly turned dark. This damn Yuelang.
...
Mu Yun had a dream, dreaming that he had traveled through time again, returned to the city he was familiar with, started working as a tattoo artist, married a wife, and lived a happy life.
Slowly opening his eyes, Mu Yun saw the roof of the car that was close to him, and felt the shaking of his body. He sighed, it turned out to be just a dream.
Sitting up, the pain from his body made Mu Yun bare his teeth, looked down, with thick bandages everywhere, and closed his eyes again. Mu Yun habitually tried to sense the power of life in the air.
Suddenly, Mu Yun's eyes opened, as if something was unbelievable was happening.
Closed his eyes again, Mu Yun clearly felt this time. Except for a small white light ball on his abdomen, the awakened core in his heart was slowly rotating, and the pattern inside was exactly the same as seen in a book. Except for the outermost circle, which seemed to be a physical aperture, which showed that Mu Yun broke through one ring, the other parts were a bit illusory and unreal.
However, these are not what shocked Mu Yun the most, but in the center of his chest, a sphere similar to the core is also suspended. It is different from the real feeling of the core. The translucent sphere gives people a sense of mystery. Not only that, the pattern inside is also different from what you see in the book. Although it is also a three-ring, the hexagram pattern inside is composed of two triangles overlapping. A small circle is carved on every corner outside, and the center of the inner circle is also a circle. Except for the outermost circle of condensed circles that seem to tell Mu Yun that it is also a ring, the rest are hazy and illusory.
"How come there is a core, what is this?"
Mu Yun was thinking about it, and the carriage gradually stopped. The curtain was lifted. Xiao Jige walked in. Seeing Mu Yun sitting there, he was surprised and said: "Hey, Mu Yun, you have finally woken up. I thought you were going to fall into the city. At that time, you can only find a priest to see your situation."
"Have I been in a coma for a long time?"
Xiao Jige nodded, "Yes, you have been in a coma for three days and three nights. Today is the fourth day, and you should be able to enter the royal city in the afternoon."
