Chapter 1: Crossing
The gray sky seemed to be filled with an indissoluble gloom. Above the desolate and dilapidated land, the ancient tones seemed to converge into a certain call, echoing there non-stop...
“Hmm…”
Zhou Xu, who was woken up from his sleep while his consciousness was hazy, couldn't help but frown and slowly opened his eyes.
In the next second, what came into his eyes was a completely unfamiliar sky, which made a trace of confusion appear on his face.
Before he could think more, the cold touch on his back, coupled with the whistling cold wind, made him shiver on the spot and he subconsciously shrank his body.
At this moment, Zhou Xu quickly discovered that he was lying naked on an altar made of rocks, on which were painted some strange symbols, forming a circle with a diameter of about five meters.
Looking at this circular formation, Zhou Xu's expression became subtle.
At the same time, he could hear the sound of people chanting in unison coming from the outside, which made him raise his head involuntarily.
The next second, all I saw was an unfamiliar and desolate land. Below me, there were estimated to be twenty or thirty people with dishevelled hair and dirty faces, wrapped in animal skins, crawling on the ground like primitive men.
When they saw him stand up, they raised their hands to the sky, knelt down and shouted, saying words he could not understand at all.
The unfamiliar environment, the incomprehensible language, the naked body, and the strange scene in front of him made Zhou Xu quickly tense up.
His eyes subconsciously fell on the strange circle again, and then his eyebrows raised...
[Oh my goodness, what a mess, could it be that I have fallen into some evil cult ritual?! ]
Almost at the same time when this thought flashed through Zhou Xu's mind, a thin, pale woman in the crowd below bowed and walked up to him.
Then he knelt on his knees and placed a piece of animal skin in front of him, which should be clothes for him.
Although he felt that he was in a bad situation, he didn't know where these guys in front of him came from and they were very weird.
But considering his current condition, he undoubtedly still needs clothes.
Glancing at the woman with her head lowered, Zhou Xu grabbed the animal skin and shook it open. After taking a quick look and making sure there was nothing wrong with it, he wrapped it around himself and immediately felt a lot more comfortable.
And during this process, a man from below came up holding something in an animal skin.
Zhou Xu looked up subconsciously.
As a result, when he saw this, his heart began to beat wildly.
What was presented to them was a head that was beyond recognition!
Even though he had watched a lot of horror and gory movies in the past and even enjoyed them, he was not a mentally ill pervert after all.
When a real head was placed right in front of him, the shock it brought to him was incomparable to those video images.
With a tense face, Zhou Xu seemed calm on the surface.
As his thoughts raced, the man had already walked in front of him, and then knelt on his knees like the woman before, raised the head high, and presented it to him.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that for some reason, he had lost control of his body.
It seemed as if there was a deeper instinct that drove him to stretch out his hands and pick up the head.
The next second, their eyes met, and Zhou Xu quickly discovered that there were two balls of fire flickering in the eye sockets of the head, indicating that this head was not as simple as it seemed.
He didn't have time to think about it. Almost at the moment when his eyes met the two fireflies, the two fireflies seemed to be attracted by something and followed the guidance of his eyes. They turned into two tangible energies and rushed towards his eyes frantically.
But for some reason, at this moment when he should have been terrified, his mood inexplicably fell into a strange calm.
As a result, his mind, which had just woken up from a coma and suffered a series of shocks, had become confused, but now it gradually became clear.
Gradually, various images began to flash through my mind.
[I remember that our class organized a graduation trip. On the way, the bus we were riding on had a car accident. I... died? ]
Almost at the same time as this thought came to mind, the two balls of fire in the head's eyes also completely poured into his eyes.
At that moment, he felt a string of strange characters suddenly appear in his mind. The strange feeling made Zhou Xu feel dazed.
During this time, the man and woman kneeling in front of him seemed to have confirmed something. They became extremely excited and started shouting again.
The primitive people kneeling below heard this and cheered along.
This scene made Zhou Xu, who was already in a trance, even more confused, and a string of strange characters continued to emerge in his mind.
At that moment, Zhou Xu's lips opened and closed several times, completely out of control. As he looked up, several difficult and ancient tones came out of his mouth.
The next second, windows with various information and data appeared on the bodies of the figures, led by a man and a woman kneeling in front of him.
The window looked just like the data panels of the characters he had seen in the games he had played before.
At the same time, a voice sounded in his mind...
[Traveler's identity confirmed, the system is loading, please wait...]
[System reminder: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for obtaining the mantra 'Eye of Insight']
【System. Mantra?】
Faced with the continuous bombardment of information, Zhou Xu rubbed his eyebrows hard, trying to concentrate.
[Wait a minute, wait a minute, calm down. The current situation is that I died in a car accident, and then I traveled through time. This seems to be a game world. There is a system, and there are primitive people around me...]
Just as Zhou Xu was trying to sort out his thoughts, a voice sounded in his ears...
"Chief? Chief?"
"Can you please stop arguing? Your mind is in a mess."
The voice that kept interrupting his thoughts made him a little annoyed, but almost at the same time he said this, Zhou Xu's expression froze when he reacted.
Then his eyes immediately fell on the man with a terrified face.
"Were you the one who was talking just now?"
“Yes, yes.”
"Say two more words."
Although the other party didn't know what he meant, he still spoke...
"Chief, it's getting dark, we need to find a place to set up camp."
Hearing the other party's voice again, Zhou Xu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Until just now, he had not understood at all what these primitive people were saying, but miraculously, he could understand it now.
Even if you think about it carefully, what he just blurted out was definitely not his native language, but the other party's language.
But he spoke it as fluently as if it were his native language.
[Is this also the ability of the system? ]
I am here, I am here, I am here with civilization~ (End of this chapter)
