The mountains are desolate and the sky is covered with dark clouds.
Under the heavy rain, a large construction team is digging out the collapsed mountain.
"Captain, Brother Lu...I hope he's okay."
Behind the construction team, Zhou Yaning, Qian Xiaoling, and others stood worriedly in the torrential rain. Five days had passed, and there was still no sign of Lu Chengchuan.
Three days ago, Zhou Yaning called in the construction team and began digging. However, she remembered Lu Chengchuan saying that the cave was hundreds of meters below the mountain, and they didn't know how long it would take to find it.
She just hoped that Lu Chengchuan was not dead, but if he was not dead, why didn't he show up? Could he be trapped...
Zhou Yaning, feeling uneasy, waited for the excavation report with her team members.
......
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chengchuan woke up in darkness.
"This...isn't reality."
The moment he regained consciousness, Lu Chengchuan noticed something unusual. This was not the real world, but he didn't know where exactly it was.
"What's wrong with me?"
Lu Chengchuan began to recall what had happened before, and soon remembered what happened in the cave.
"It's that ball of light..."
He remembered what happened in the cave. He punched the ball of light, and then the ball of light exploded and the light enveloped his body. Then he was attacked into a mysterious space and finally fainted.
Could this be the mysterious space? But something seems wrong.
Lu Chengchuan couldn't understand why. The dark space was boundless and there was no up, down, left or right direction. He just floated quietly in the air, neither moving forward nor backward.
He was just about to use his mental power to try to find a way out.
Just as he was about to make a move, the dark space suddenly shook. He felt tremendous pressure, and the next second his consciousness fell into darkness again.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he regained consciousness, he felt his body being dragged.
Lu Chengchuan wanted to open his eyes, but in an instant, severe pain came from his eyelids. He felt as if his eyelids were stuck together and he was tearing his skin when he opened them.
He opened his eyes with great pain, and the first thing he saw was the bright sun hanging in the sky.
The bright sun made him feel a little uncomfortable. He turned his head to look to the side, and the yellow sand in the sky came into his eyes. He didn't know where he was at the moment.
Lu Chengchuan was feeling very uncomfortable. He was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to stand. His internal energy was like a dry and cracked pond, not a single drop of water could be squeezed out. His mind and spirit only had one tenth of its strength left.
"ksasdl!"
Just as Lu Chengchuan was checking his body, a clear female voice sounded behind him, with undisguised surprise in her voice, but Lu Chengchuan could not understand what she was saying.
As the woman finished her words, his body, which was being dragged, stopped.
Soon, a young, tan-skinned girl and a dark-skinned old man came over. They both leaned over to look at him, their expressions of surprise not concealed at all.
Lu Chengchuan didn't understand a word the two men said to him.
The girl leaned over and spoke several words to him, then waited for his answer.
Lu Chengchuan slowly opened his mouth and said weakly: "Can you... speak Shenghua language..."
After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth. He was so weak that he had to take two breaths before he could recover after speaking a word.
He expected the two to understand what he was saying, but when they looked up at each other, their expressions changed from surprise to confusion. It seemed that they could not understand Sheng Huayu.
This made Lu Chengchuan a little disappointed. Due to the language barrier, he had to keep all his questions to himself.
The two also knew that Lu Chengchuan did not speak their language. After saying a few words, the two walked forward, and soon Lu Chengchuan's body was slowly dragged forward.
The sun in the sky is very strong. Fortunately, although Lu Chengchuan is extremely weak, his body is very strong, and the high temperature is not scary to him.
After an unknown amount of time, the team stopped again and the girl came over with a glass of water.
The girl squatted down and put the cup of water to his mouth. Lu Chengchuan opened his mouth and sucked the water into his stomach.
After drinking the water, the team continued on their journey. They kept walking like this, and except for stopping for a while to feed him water, the rest of the time was spent on the journey.
Night soon fell, and the temperature in the desert varied greatly, so the temperature quickly dropped to a very low level.
The girl covered him with a rough animal skin, and the group continued on their journey.
It was not until late at night that the team stopped to rest. The girl fed him some water and some strange-smelling food, then went to rest as well.
Lu Chengchuan didn't sleep. He tried to breathe in and out to help his body recover quickly. This feeling of weakness was too terrible for him. He couldn't help but think back to the years when he was seriously ill. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
The next morning, after the sun came out, the team continued its journey.
The team stopped and walked along the way, and in the evening, they arrived at a dilapidated desert oasis village.
The village was not big and the population did not seem to be large. Lu Chengchuan was taken to a small house. After stopping, the girl and the old man first moved their things into the house before coming to find him.
The girl came up, stretched out her hand and pulled Lu Chengchuan up. Lu Chengchuan, who had regained a little strength, helped her stand up. Only then did he see what was dragging him.
A creature with a grayish-white exoskeleton that looks like a buffalo, but cows on Earth don't have exoskeletons.
Lu Chengchuan was stunned. He was sure that even if the Earth was invaded by monsters, there would not be such mutated buffaloes, and how could buffaloes appear in the desert?
He couldn't believe his eyes, but the 'buffalo' was standing right in front of him, and there was no use not believing it.
After glancing at the buffalo, the girl took him to the backyard of the house, to a dilapidated hut with no door, two of its four walls collapsed, and several holes in the roof.
You can tell from the outside that the house is not in good condition, and the same is true inside. The house is covered with some dry weeds and nothing else.
The girl put him on the ground and left without saying anything.
Lu Chengchuan didn't say anything either. He didn't know what to say. It was useless for him to say anything because he couldn't communicate in the same language. It seemed that he would have to stay in this small house for a while.
He didn't care about anything else and continued to practice breathing exercises, as long as his body recovered.
As time passed, Lu Chengchuan practiced in the hut. The girl would bring him food and water on time, but she would never be seen at other times.
Ten days passed and Lu Chengchuan's body recovered a little.
But it was only a slight improvement. For some reason, no matter how he practiced, his body and internal energy could not recover. Until now, he was still in a "weak" state.
He can now lift a few hundred kilograms at most, which is much stronger than an ordinary person, but compared to his peak self, it is extremely weak.
His physical condition and internal energy had not recovered, but the good news was that his physical defense had not weakened, and his mental strength had also recovered to a large extent. At least he had the power to protect himself.
