"Hu~hu~~wuwu~~"
The strong wind rustled dust and sand on his body, and the bright red color on the pear tree seemed to drip into Li Zhengyi's eyes.
"Is that what you're looking for?"
The sky is full of wild sand, and the hills are surrounded by a gray wave of thatch. The world in front of you seems to have died, and only the apple on the pear tree contains alluring vitality.
Li Zhengyi did not hesitate too much. Apart from this apple, he did not have enough time and energy to explore other unknown possibilities in this windy and knife-like space.
This pear tree is extremely tall, its trunk alone is as high as a two-story building.
In this seemingly dead space, after countless years and the baptism of wind and sand, its bark has become harder and rougher, and it is full of ravines like cracked charcoal.
For some reason, Li Zhengyi felt that his body seemed to have become much weaker again. Just hugging the tree trunk made him feel wisps of pain on his skin.
When he climbed up with all his strength, the skin on his knees, elbows and inner thighs seemed to be torn off.
But he will not back down, and the belief in his heart remains firm. Even at the same time, the strong wind on the top of the mountain became stronger, as if it was deliberately hindering his movement.
up! up! There are no other distracting thoughts.
Li Zhengyi had never experienced how difficult it would be to climb a tree. The fierce wind and sand were like the hands of a devil, trying to tear him down.
He had to hug the tree trunk with all his strength. It didn't take long for the unusually rough, dry and hard bark to destroy his gray and tender skin.
The black blood sticks to the surface of the tree trunk, as if echoing the red apples above.
But Li Zhengyi had no idea of giving up. He still gritted his teeth and tried his best to climb up, letting the pain torture or temper his will and spirit.
Finally, it's going to work!
Li Zhengyi was now at the highest point of the gray mountaintop, and the strong wind carrying rough gravel became even crazier. But the bright red apple was right above his head, within reach.
Reach out and grab.
The expression is a little strange, and the red apple is not as cold as this world.
Not only is it slightly warm, but it also feels very comfortable, like holding a beating heart?
The moment he held the red apple, Li Zhengyi was surprised to find that the skin on his hand gradually returned to its original color, and the color was spreading to other parts of his body.
"Crack!"
Just when he was slightly excited and proud, the branch under his feet suddenly broke, and the gray wind excitedly swept Li Zhengyi and fell to the bottom of the cliff on the other side.
In Li Zhengyi's sight, the tall pear tree on the top of the mountain moved away quickly, but the red apple was firmly grasped in his hand. .
During the rapid fall, in addition to the howling wind, there seemed to be some strange murmuring sounds coming from my ears.
If he remembered correctly, when he was holding the tree trunk and looking down, he saw a beach with jagged rocks below.
If he falls behind, his fate may become disastrous.
Am I going to die in this gray world without color and life?
But he had obviously got those things. Li Zhengyi took another look at the bright red apple he was holding tightly in his hand.
Do you have to eat it?
Without hesitation, Li Zhengyi stuffed the apple directly into his mouth as he continued to fall.
Bang!
Fortunately, Li Zhengyi landed on a piece of sand between the rocks and did not fall to his death.
Unfortunately, due to the force of the shock, the whole apple was swallowed into his mouth before he could bite it, and it got stuck in his throat.
"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem...drink~"
Soon his face turned red from suppressing the pain, and he knelt down on the sand, beating his chest continuously, trying his best to swallow or spit out the apple.
But how is that possible?
But a miracle happened suddenly. Li Zhengyi didn't know whether his throat was stretched or whether the apple had become smaller.
The red apple that had made him feel alive just now, like delicious candy, quickly slid into his chest and abdomen.
"Cough cough cough~"
After another bout of violent coughing and gasping for air, he slowly recovered.
Li Zhengyi touched the position of the apple very strangely, feeling as if he had an extra beating heart, but...
While he was doubting, Li Zhengyi's attention was attracted by the strange sight that suddenly appeared in front of him.
There was no crazy strong wind blowing under the cliff like at the top of the mountain. Instead, it was extremely calm, like the black sea without any waves behind it.
He saw a strange cave appearing under the cliff in front of him, and something seemed to be calling him inside.
But the entrance to the cave is a big, ferocious mouth like a demon, with pale white sharp teeth that seem to be closing at any time.
This strange scene made Li Zhengyi extremely hesitant.
But the calls coming from the cave and the inexplicable sense of urgency in my heart became stronger and stronger. It felt like if I didn't make a decision, I would be trapped here forever.
He glanced at the dark sea behind him and the endless gray-brown cliffs in front of him, thinking that he didn't want to stay in such a ghost place.
Done!
After making the decision, without any hesitation, Li Zhengyi rushed towards the strange entrance of the cave, as if he had some kind of mission.
But when they were about to arrive, they found that the entrance to the cave was about to be tightly closed.
Even so, it didn't make Li Zhengyi think about giving up or retreating.
Instead, he ran faster and faster. He took two more steps forward, and then, three or four meters away, he swooped towards the cave that was almost closed.
"Click!!"
The sharp teeth like stone pillars at the entrance of the cave almost closed against Li Zhengyi's toes.
When the cave entrance is closed, the dim yellow and gray light from outside can no longer shine in, and there is no other light in the cave.
When Li Zhengyi rolled forward a few times and stood up, he saw an object glowing yellow in the darkness ahead.
Although the light source was not very strong, it was extremely stubborn, firmly supporting a small piece of light in this dark cave.
As Li Zhengyi got closer, he gradually saw the item clearly.
It was a sword, a sword stuck in the cold rock.
Feeling his approach, the sword began to tremble slightly, like an excited child who persisted in the darkness for who knows how long and finally waited for his loved ones.
The sword was golden in color, with a sharp blade and complex square patterns engraved on the blade.
The hilt of the sword is cylindrical, and the sword head has two golden discs, one large and one small.
This seems to be the sword I once dreamed of?
There was something familiar, even cordial, that made Li Zhengyi couldn't help but hold the hilt of the sword and pull it out from the cold rock.
