On the vast snowfield, a group of humans wearing tattered animal skins and wearing stone shackles moved forward slowly.
"Clan leader, if that kid doesn't wake up, he may be hopeless!"
The sound of heavy breathing echoed in the team. The old man with silvery white hair looked back at the young man on the back of the strong man.
"Do your best to obey fate!"
The clan leader Tu Shi made a hoarse voice, while Bai felt a sharp pain in his head and a chill raging throughout his body.
This strange and wild world and the messy memories made him feel a little confused.
I just got the human race epic prop [Inheritance Stone] in the virtual online game [World of Classics of Mountains and Seas]. The moment I touched it, my consciousness fell into silence.
Now that I just woke up, I found that there was a huge stone tablet full of cracks in the depths of my consciousness. The words "Mountain and Sea" could be vaguely seen on it. It was the epic prop.
After a moment of conscious awareness, lines of text appeared on the stone tablet, and finally Bai Ze discovered that it seemed to be a mission.
[Task 1: Survive 24 hours successfully.
Mission reward: Random human inheritance
Task 2: Ignite the fire in your body.
Mission reward: Identity as a fire bearer, opening the path to spiritual practice.
Task 3: Obtain more than two kinds of fire seeds.
Mission reward: Bai Min Clan’s legendary talent ~ Resonance of All Things.
Mission 4: Kill any strange beast. Mission reward: Random media object × 1. 】
After reading the information on the stone tablet, I began to sort out the incomplete memories in my mind, and found that this is the world of Shan Hai Jing. The specific timeline is unknown, and it is currently in the season of winter erosion.
"Young man from the Bai Min clan, why don't you light a fire?"
The patriarch, Tu Shi, felt that there was no fire burning in the body of this younger generation. It was a miracle in itself that he could survive the erosion of the cold winter.
Bai Ze quickly woke up from the shock of the inheritance stele. Now he should immediately figure out his situation and complete the task of inheriting the stele.
"The Bai Min clan... By the way, the body inherited now belongs to the Bai Min clan."
"Clan leader, the fire...has been extinguished!"
In the middle of his words, Bai Ze thought that he still didn't know what Xinhuo was, who knows where the current timeline was, and currently needed to try to complete branch tasks.
"There's not much time, keep walking!"
Tu Shi continued to move forward with his team, using the fire in his body to constantly sense the traces of fire left in Bai Ze's body.
Bai Ze found that the ankles of the people around him had gray tadpole lines, like some kind of virus, spreading towards the calves as time went by.
"Well...how to light the fire?"
Ten minutes later, Bai Ze combed through the incomplete memories in his mind again and found that there was no knowledge about Xinhuo. He only knew that the owner of this body was also named Bai Ze, and he was responsible for the inheritance of the Bai people's clan.
"Boy, haven't the people from the Bai Min clan told you about Xinhuo? Or it was affected by the cold winter, and the will and memory were damaged."
The muscular man looked back at Bai Ze, his eyes full of pity.
"Yes, you are right. I don't need to think about the reasons anymore."
Bai Ze felt very happy. One of the perks of being a time traveler is that when encountering memory-related situations, there is always someone who can help.
"The fire is the foundation of our race. It was passed down to the second sage of the human race. After burning the fire, it can resist the erosion of strange celestial phenomena, allowing the race to embark on the path of cultivation and have a chance to compete with those strange beasts.
The stronger the fire in the body, the stronger the power it will emit. Legend has it that the contemporary sages of the human race can fight against the mountain gods. "
The strong man slowly narrated that the human race is weak in the world of mountains and seas, and only by uniting can we gain a glimmer of hope in despair.
"Each tribe has its own fire seed. We are the Goulong Clan, which is different from your Baimin Clan.
Different ethnic groups have different ways of lighting fires. Some require sacrifices, some require inheritance, and some even require paying the price of life. "
Bai Ze felt upset after listening to the strong man's words. It was as if he had not said anything.
"The Baimin clan has the talent to resonate with the sacred tree Jianmu. The sacred tree Jianmu is still there. You can try to sense it."
The clan leader Tu Shi stopped, and his hoarse voice made Bai Ze even more upset. What he needed most now was to ignite the fire and complete the branch tasks.
"Clan leader, the erosion of winter has become stronger!"
A thin human race made a horrified sound, and Bai saw the tadpole lines on his legs spreading to his waist.
A large amount of orange fire suddenly surged out of Tu's body, a large amount of water vapor evaporated, and a ruined tribe appeared in front of everyone.
"Goulongtu clan, you are late!" Ruoyouruowu's voice sounded from the tribe, and Bai motioned to let him down.
"I picked up a member of the Bai clan on the road. Please take some time. This boy is probably the last of the Bai clan. The fire in his body is extinguished."
Tu Shi said and led a group of people into the tribe, while Bai Ze saw stone houses full of primitive atmosphere everywhere, and there were broken totem poles in front of some houses.
"The temperature is much higher than outside."
Bai Ze looks like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. This kind of scene can only be seen in ancient books.
Standing in a high-lying area, I found that the arrangement of the stone houses seemed to follow a certain pattern. Threads of light yellow sparks poured out from the foundations of the houses, forming a vague totem in the air.
It shrouded the tribe like a barrier, blocking out the erosion of the strange celestial phenomena and the cold winter.
"Don't look at it, it's a small tribe, not as big as the Bai Min clan."
The one-eyed old man wearing a black robe made of animal skin, leaning on a bone staff, waved to Bai Ze.
"what's your name?"
"Bai Ze!"
"Mr. Bai Ze, it's interesting. It's called the same as the legendary auspiciousness. There are no traces of fire left in your body, which means you haven't ignited the fire in your body yet."
The one-eyed old man said as he led Bai Ze to a stone house.
In the center of the stone house is a small sacrificial altar, with blue firewood burning continuously on the sacrificial altar.
Tushi added firewood from time to time, and Bai found that there were faint golden tadpole patterns flowing on the firewood.
"Contact Fire!"
A soft voice rang out from Bai Ze's mind. Bai Ze tried hard to stay calm. In fact, he was so panicked that he had not yet enjoyed the benefits of being a time traveler.
But there were other things in his mind, which made him feel uneasy. The voice seemed to come from the inheritance stone tablet.
"Did you hear another person's voice in your head?"
The one-eyed old man smiled, and Bai Ze's current performance made him very satisfied, just like when he saw the fire for the first time.
"This is the fuel of Buzhou Fuzi's lineage. Those guys have some connections with the Bai Min clan. You are lucky."
Bai Ze hesitantly reached out and touched the blue flame. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he knew that now was not the opportunity to ask. Everything had to wait for him to ignite the fire in his body.
The moment the blue firewood touched his skin, Bai Ze seemed to see a towering ancient tree. Standing under the tree, he found countless worlds hanging on the branches.
[It is shaped like a cow, with skin attached to it, like a tassel or a yellow snake. Its leaves are like Luo, which are actually like Luan, and its wood is like wormwood, so its name is Jianmu. 】
A soft voice sounded from the stone monument in his mind, and Bai Ze's vision became a little blurry. At this moment, he felt the vastness of the tree. He was not even an ant under the tree.
There was warmth in his lower abdomen, and some unfamiliar memory fragments appeared in his mind.
"Boy, follow the guidance of the voice in your head. When every human race lights the fire, they will receive the blessing of the fire."
"Reach out and touch Jianmu!"
Bai Ze felt as if a figure raised his right hand behind him.
[Blessing of Fire: Gate to the World]
Golden tadpole writing flew out from the building wood and formed a stone door in Bai Ze's mind.
[Task: Lighting the fire has been completed. The identity of the fire bearer has been issued. The path of practice has been opened. The fire bearer can pass the fire. It belongs to the special inheritance of the human race and is respected by all races.
Note: Bearing the inheritance of the Fire Bearer, the abnormal status resistance level is +1. 】
After reading the contents on the stone tablet, Bai Ze lamented that it was lucky to have the inheritance stone tablet, otherwise he would not have understood these things when he first arrived.
Bai Ze opened his eyes, and Tu Shi and the one-eyed old man both smiled happily.
