Chapter 6: Who am I, really?

Just then, a cool breeze blew in his face, bringing Yuan Ming to his senses.

He looked ahead and saw that the forest had suddenly opened up, revealing a ten-zhang wide green-black river flowing in front of him.

The water was murky, with rolling waves and a strong current.

Yuan Ming realized that he couldn’t fly over it with his strength, but he also knew that not crossing it would result in a worse fate.

He stepped on the branches of the ancient tree beneath him, using their movement to build up momentum.

He jumped and extended his uninjured arm to grab onto a branch on the opposite bank, but his strength was limited and he fell into the water.

Underwater, his injuries opened up and blood flowed out.

He struggled to climb out of the water, but the river was too strong.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and shoulder, and realized that he had been bitten by piranhas.

"This is bad," he thought.Ordinary fish do not usually attack creatures as large as him. The only ones that would launch such ferocious attacks are the piranhas.

Although there were fish biting Yuan Ming in other places on his body, those areas were covered with fur and had no wounds, so it was not a big problem.

As he reached out to grab the piranhas on his body, a large group of fish immediately bit him.

At the same time, a huge black shadow was swimming towards him from downstream in the muddy river water.

Yuan Ming knew he couldn’t delay any longer. After taking a breath, he immediately sank back into the water, grabbing the reef protruding from the river bottom with his hands and slowly making his way towards the opposite bank.

The black shadow in the distance noticed he was trying to escape and accelerated towards him.

Yuan Ming finally reached the shore and began to climb up, with the water behind him making a "swooshing" sound. The black shadow had caught up to him.

He couldn’t afford to delay even for a moment, not even daring to turn his head to take a glance. He grabbed the riverbank with both hands and jumped up with all his strength, just as the black shadow caught up to him. He landed on the opposite bank.

The black shadow missed its target and lingered underwater at the shore for a moment before gradually sinking into the water and disappearing.

Yuan Ming lay on the riverbank, breathing heavily. He reached over to his side and found that his blood storage pouch was still there, which relieved him.

Although he knew it wasn’t time to rest and relax yet, the strong feeling of exhaustion and the feeling of being drained after surviving a disaster made it difficult for him to get up for a long time.

After resting for a while, Yuan Ming finally sat up with great effort. It was then that he noticed that he still had piranhas hanging from his body, with black scales growing on them.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

To be safe, Yuan Ming tied a vine to the old tree root and the other end to his wrist. If the old tree root was moved, it would definitely alert him.

After everything was done, Yuan Ming slowly lay down on the ground. Although he was constantly feeling drowsy, he forced himself not to fall asleep immediately.

He listened carefully to the outside movements while using his hand to draw on the dark cave floor, recreating his escape route and recalling the details of his fights with the black bear and green wolves.

After going over all of this in his mind, he began to try to remember the incomplete memory of himself performing martial arts on the square during the day.

"Who am I, really?"

With this question in mind, Yuan Ming slowly fell asleep.

In his dream, Yuan Ming appeared on the martial arts stage again, wielding a long spear and practicing a fierce spear technique.

On the edge of the martial arts stage, a blurry figure appeared vaguely, tall and mighty but with indistinct features, standing with arms crossed and saying nothing.

Yuan Ming stopped practicing and wanted to approach the person to see their appearance, but he heard a stern rebuke, "Don’t stop!"

In an instant, Yuan Ming woke up suddenly.

Sunlight shone through the gap at the entrance of the cave and onto his face. It was already morning.Yuan Ming felt as if he had only slept for half an hour, and the feeling of drowsiness had not completely dissipated.

However, he still propped himself up and sat up, subconsciously rubbing his eyes with his fluffy hands.

After regaining some energy, he untied the vines tied to his hands, and only then did he realize in surprise that the wounds on his chest and shoulders had healed and scabbed over.

He had originally thought it would take at least three or four days to recover, but it had only taken one night.

"It seems that when I transform into a fur-clad beast, not only do my strength and speed increase, but even my healing ability after being injured is enhanced." Yuan Ming became more and more satisfied with his body.

At the same time, he became more and more interested in the "Blood Qi Technique" mentioned by Elder Hu Huo.

"Gu..."

"Not only do the injuries heal quickly, but I also get hungry quickly." Yuan Ming got up, moved the tree roots blocking the cave entrance, and walked out.

The sun shone through the forest, the leaves were green, the mountain breeze was gentle, and the thin morning mist was gradually dissipating. The surroundings were filled with the ethereal chirping of birds, making it quiet and beautiful.

However, Yuan Ming knew that beneath this tranquility, there were countless hidden dangers.
