“Ding…ding…ding…”
A low bell rang, and Fang Zheng opened his eyes and looked up at the sky in front of him.
"here it is……"
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but soon, Fang Zheng was surprised to find that his voice became hoarse and gloomy. Not only that, he even felt that his body seemed a little strange. It was not the body he was familiar with, but more like a strange shell.
What's going on?
Fang Zheng shook his head and slowly stood up. It was only then that he realized he was in a cemetery. He was wearing heavy armor, with a sword and a shield in his hands. If one only looked at the surface, Fang Zheng should be a knight who had been placed in a coffin and buried.
So that's how it is. Only spirits can enter this world? No wonder they can leave at any time...
After moving his body for a while, Fang Zheng finally understood the concept of the free world. It seemed that here, he was not using his own body, but the body that originally existed in this world. And he was more like a soul possessed by someone else. In Fang Zheng's opinion, this was equivalent to his "rebirth" again. However, compared with the rebirth in the main world, the rebirth in this world did not seem to bring him any benefits. The owner of this body did not have any memory inheritance, and he did not have any props to prove his identity. The only useful things were the shield and sword at hand.
Is this also a game world? Could it be Diablo again?
Looking at the sky above his head, which was as cloudy as the dark world, Fang Zheng couldn't help but frown. Fortunately, although this body didn't provide him with any memories of the body's owner's past and present lives, it still provided Fang Zheng with some fighting skills. Fang Zheng was depressed to find that... these were indeed just fighting skills!
Not to mention the cool sword skills in the main world, there are not even any skills in the dark world. What is remembered in this body are the skills of simply using weapons to fight, such as stabbing, slashing, rolling and blocking... These are all things Fang Zheng has learned from Shi Dong before. If there is any difference, it is that there is an additional skill called "counterattack", which is a skill of deflecting the opponent's attack at the moment of attack, and then taking advantage of the gap to kill with one blow.
There are no cool skills, no unique tricks, only some ordinary techniques.
If this isn't the Dark World, then where on earth is this?
Fang Zheng looked around curiously, then walked out of the coffin and walked forward along the path.
“Woo woo…”
At this moment, a skinny guy slowly crawled up from the ground and blocked Fang Zheng's way.
Enemies? Zombies? Or the living dead?
Looking at the monster in front of him, Fang Zheng also had a solemn expression. He tightly grasped the long sword in his right hand, and without waiting for the other party to stand up, he went up and chopped it down with a swish of the sword.
But what surprised Fang Zheng was that the monsters in this world didn't seem to be as stubborn as those in the dark world. He chopped them down with one strike of his sword. Whatever this thing was, at least it was as weak as it looked.
It doesn't seem dangerous. What kind of fighting skills can I train in such a world?
“Swoosh!!”
Just when Fang Zheng was puzzled, he suddenly heard a gust of wind in his ears, and Fang Zheng instinctively rolled forward without hesitation. A burning arrow just passed by him. When Fang Zheng looked up, he saw a guy who was as skinny as before stringing his crossbow not far ahead.
Oh my god! These guys can actually use weapons?
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He thought the monsters here were like zombies and would only attack instinctively, but it turned out that they could use weapons?
How can this be tolerated?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng hurried forward and swung the sword in his hand again, sending the guy back home.
What a strange place...
Looking at the body lying on the ground in front of him, Fang Zheng frowned. Not only was the sky dark and gloomy, but even the cold wind was icy cold. Looking around, everything around was shrouded in darkness, and it felt like the whole world was like burnt out ashes, which gave people a very bad feeling.
In short, let's investigate the situation of this world first.
After that, Fang Zheng walked out of the cemetery along the mountain path, killed a few more "living dead" on the way, and then came to a bonfire. Looking at the bonfire, Fang Zheng felt as if he remembered something again. He stretched out his hand to the bonfire, and soon, Fang Zheng felt a mysterious power quietly disappear from his body, and then the bonfire in front of him "whoosh" and burned.
“…”
Looking at the orange-red flames, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. The monsters in this world did not seem to be very strong, but looking at the ruins around him and the endless dark clouds in the distance, Fang Zheng always had a bad feeling. It seemed that this world was not as simple as it seemed.
keep going.
After sitting by the campfire for a few minutes, Fang Zheng decided to continue exploring the world. Up to now, he had not met a single living person other than himself, which made Fang Zheng feel a little uneasy. Could this be a wasteland-like world? Everyone except him was dead? It couldn't be as bad as "I Am Legend", right?
Moreover, Fang Zheng did not think that these slow-moving guys posed any threat to him. Although the living dead in the dark world also moved slowly, their strength and defense were terrifyingly strong, but the monsters here not only had no defense, but were also extremely slow. There were even several times when Fang Zheng rushed in front of them, and these monsters had not even gotten up yet, and were as slow as ordinary people.
In such a world, can one hone one's combat skills?
After walking along the mountain road and killing a monster guarding the gate, Fang Zheng came to a square. There was nothing here except a huge knight wearing knight armor and standing two or three meters tall, half squatting in the center of the square. There was a battle axe beside him, and Fang Zheng could see that a black spiral sword had pierced through the knight's chest... No matter how you looked at it, this person was already dead.
But Fang Zheng did not choose to approach the other party. According to his experience, there must be something wrong when such a thing suddenly appeared in such a strange place. It was either a trap or a boss. In short, caution was the right choice. Therefore, he chose to bypass the knight and continue to explore inside. Hard work paid off. Behind the knight, Fang Zheng found a building, but what made him depressed was that he didn't know if something sealed the door. No matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't open the wooden door.
Do you really want to kill that knight?
With no other options, Fang Zheng had to go back to the knight and approach him cautiously. But to Fang Zheng's surprise, the knight did not suddenly jump up as he expected, nor did any monster jump out from the side to attack him. He just squatted there quietly, silently playing the role of a dedicated dead man.
Do I have to pull the sword out of his chest?
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Zheng decided to draw his sword. Although his intuition told him that it would likely trigger a "boss battle" after he drew his sword, after fighting those monsters before, Fang Zheng felt that those monsters were not threatening at all and could not help him improve his sword skills. But this was a boss after all, so he shouldn't be disappointed.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng reached out his hand without hesitation, grabbed the spiral sword that was stuck in the knight's chest, and pulled it out.
“Gurgle…”
As Fang Zheng pulled out the spiral sword, he saw the dark colloid on the wound on the knight's chest begin to roll as if it had a life of self-awareness, and then returned to the knight's body. This sudden scene surprised Fang Zheng, but then he saw the knight stand up, grab the battle axe beside him, and swing it at himself!
Oh my god! Why did the fight start so soon? I am your savior after all!
Faced with this sudden attack, Fang Zheng was also shocked. He quickly rolled on the ground to avoid the knight's battle axe, but what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that before he could stand up from the ground, the tall and strong guy suddenly rushed towards him and hit him head-on, knocking Fang Zheng away. Then the knight raised his battle axe again and chopped down at Fang Zheng.
not good!!
Fang Zheng was also shocked when he saw the shining battle axe. He hurriedly raised the shield in his hand and blocked the opponent's blow at the critical moment.
"clang!!"
The huge force came crashing down, and Fang Zheng's legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. But the knight obviously had no intention of stopping there. After the attack was blocked, he chopped down with his axe without hesitation. This time, Fang Zheng finally couldn't hold on any longer and was chopped down to the ground. Then he saw the knight leap high up, and then he and his axe fell from the sky.
“Puff!!”
The next moment, Fang Zheng only felt the sharp blade ruthlessly slashing into his body. His eyes suddenly went dark, and then the surroundings fell into darkness.
Then, Fang Zheng felt himself being sucked up like a floating balloon, and then slowly falling down. When he opened his eyes again, all he saw was the burning bonfire and the worn-out long sword stuck in it.
“…”
Fang Zheng stared blankly at the bonfire in front of him, his face completely bewildered. His mind was in a mess at the moment and he had no idea what to do.
What just happened?
Where am I?
How did I die?!
