Chapter 3 Obtaining the Primary Cheat
"Xu Xiaoyang!!!" Li Huiyin's terrified voice rang out.
This huge creature turned out to be a plant whose name could not be told. Its branches looked more like vines and were as flexible as octopus tentacles, tightly wrapped around Xu Zhiyang's waist.
Xu Zhiyang couldn't break free. He felt his internal organs being squeezed and his bones making crackling sounds.
Suddenly Xu Zhiyang remembered something.
The vine was transparent and colorless, and one could see inside the vine at a glance. The vine that bound him did not look unusual.
But at the source of the vines, inside the tree trunk, Xu Zhiyang vaguely saw five colors circulating inside the trunk.
Cheats!
Xu Zhiyang remembered that this was the plant that was given to him in his previous life. He didn't remember it until now because the time was advanced - and the location and appearance were wrong!
It would be much easier to deal with it once he determined what it was. Xu Zhiyang took out a folding knife from his pants with great effort according to the weakness of the plant in his previous life.
Xu Zhiyang clenched the knife and stabbed the vines that bound him. The vines twisted violently a few times and released Xu Zhiyang.
Li Huiyin helped Xu Zhiyang up, "How are you?! Can you still run?!"
"It's okay." Xu Zhiyang said, "Just stay away for now."
Although she was confused, Li Huiyin still stepped back out of trust, and picked up the fire axe and chopped at the zombies that were attracted by the sound.
Xu Zhiyang stretched his arms and legs, then suddenly took two steps back and ran towards the transparent plant!
Xu Zhiyang held his breath when he was about to touch the plant.
Li Huiyin looked back and saw Xu Zhiyang crawling into the plant. She screamed in surprise, but she held back for fear of attracting more zombies.
After crashing into the plant, Xu Zhiyang discovered that it was indeed no different from the previous life. It was all water, as if he had entered a huge column of water.
The plants in this life look the same as in the previous life, but their colors are very different.
Xu Zhiyang swam inside the plant according to his memory, swimming quickly upwards towards the location where the five-colored light was emitted.
Soon, Xu Zhiyang reached the top of the plant and looked at the heart-like thing in front of him.
I saw a black heart the size of a human head floating in the water, beating with five-colored light shining from it.
Xu Zhiyang gripped the knife tightly and stabbed it hard at the "heart!"
At the same moment, the plant twisted and curled up wildly, and each of its tentacles like an octopus stretched out from the outside and whipped towards Xu Zhiyang.
Xu Zhiyang cut open the heart decisively and reached in to grab the glowing object.
Xu Zhiyang's ankle was also entangled by the vines, and he was pulled and thrown out!
Xu Zhiyang rolled on the ground for several meters before stopping. He was in so much pain that he even had difficulty getting up.
"Xu Xiaoyang!" Li Huiyin ran over quickly, helped Xu Xiaoyang up, and asked anxiously, "Did you hit your head? Can you stand up?"
Xu Zhiyang looked at the flower and shook his head vigorously, "It should be fine... Let's go quickly..."
"I'll carry you!" Li Huiyin squatted down and carried him on her back effortlessly.
At this time, the two heard an animal crawling in the soil in the cracks of the ground behind them. Xu Zhiyang turned around with difficulty and saw a bulge the size of a vehicle on the ground.
"Hurry!" Xu Zhiyang urged in a low voice.
Li Huiyin quickly ran into the alley, took out the key and opened the big iron gate of her house.
Xu Zhiyang followed closely behind her, turned around and closed the iron gate. His movements were so light that he locked the door almost without making any sound.
Xu Zhiyang put his finger to his lips, signaling Li Huiyin to be quiet.
At the same time, a rustling sound was heard not far away...
Xu Zhiyang's heart was beating violently and he leaned against the door tightly.
Li Huiyin clutched the corner of Xu Zhiyang's clothes. As they listened to the sounds getting closer and closer, cold sweat kept pouring down their foreheads.
Now they can only pray that the thing outside the door doesn’t climb too high, otherwise once it crosses the door, they will surely die.
The rustling sound stopped, and Xu Zhiyang suddenly looked up, only to see a red tentacle as thick as a human arm leaping in from the iron gate.
Xu Zhiyang's Adam's apple slid up and down as he looked at the fruit in his hand.
This fruit is what was just taken out of the black heart. It is also something that will change his life. Eating it is equivalent to getting a golden finger in the end times.
However, in his previous life, the fruit he picked was red, but in this life... why is it black?
The second mutation came early, and the fruit also changed color.
Xu Zhiyang didn't know whether eating the fruit would still give him the same energy as in his previous life, or whether it would have the opposite effect.
But when he turned around and saw Li Huiyin's frightened eyes, Xu Zhiyang didn't care about anything else. He raised his hand and stuffed the fruit into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
pain……
Intense pain... spread throughout his limbs and bones. Xu Zhiyang's legs went limp and he fell to the ground in pain. He bit his lips until they bled to stop himself from making any sound.
Li Huiyin squatted down and supported Xu Zhiyang, shaking his arm to find out what was wrong with him.
Xu Zhiyang suddenly fell to the ground, veins bulging on his forehead and neck, his expression twisted and looking extremely painful.
Xu Zhiyang waved his hands with difficulty, trying to express that he was fine.
But his miserable appearance was really not convincing.
He felt as if all the bones in his body were about to be broken and then melted together again.
Xu Zhiyang rolled on the ground, his fingers tightly gripping his trouser legs, curled up into a ball, as if he had just been fished out of the water, sweat dripping down his hair.
The effect of this fruit is completely different from that in his previous life. In his previous life, he just felt very sleepy after eating it, but when he woke up from a sleep, he had five kinds of gathered energy.
This time, it was so unbearable that Xu Zhiyang even suspected that the fruit was rotten or expired.
There was no time to think, as the soul in the body seemed to be pulled by an external force, split into two, then merged together, separated and merged again, merged and separated again.
It was not until a long time later that the soul was completely split into two, and Xu Zhiyang himself felt that there was another consciousness in his mind.
After a long time, the night was dark and the moon was hanging high in the sky.
It was a long time after the thing outside left that Li Huiyin carried the unconscious Xu Zhiyang on her back and quietly entered the house.
When he woke up again, Xu Zhiyang sat up with weak hands and feet, and looked at Li Huiyin who was sleeping on the floor with her legs spread out.
It was bright outside, and even the screams and roars of animals in the distance could not wake her.
Xu Zhiyang got out of bed, picked up the clothes Li Huiyin had prepared for him, went downstairs to the bathroom, took a shower, and changed into Li Huiyin's clothes.
Li Huiyin's style is more neutral, and her clothes are loose-fitting, which fits Xu Zhiyang perfectly.
After taking a shower, Xu Zhiyang opened the living room door and walked into the yard. He stood up and stretched out one hand, his eyes fixed on his palm.
Slowly closing his five fingers, Xu Zhiyang felt the five abundant energies in his body: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and then separated the fire energy from his body.
Slowly, a small red flame appeared in Xu Zhiyang's palm.
“…”
This fire is so small it seems not even good enough for barbecue.
