"Brother, are we going to stay here for several days like this?"

The younger sister blinked her big eyes, looked at her brother with a puzzled look on her face and asked.

The elder brother frowned slightly, looking into the distance. After a moment's thought, he replied, "That's what I saw them do, so let's wait for a while. As for what to do next, don't worry, I'm here. I'll find a way to solve it."

The brother and sister were huddled together in a simple house made of stones.

Although the stone house looked dilapidated, as an older brother, he was very careful and considerate. He took the trouble to find a lot of mud and sealed the gaps between the stones one by one.

In this way, even in this bitterly cold and snowy weather, this small stone house exudes a hint of warmth.

The younger sister suddenly raised her head and asked her brother softly, "Brother, do you really hate Mom? What exactly happened between you and her?"

Hearing this, the brother's face instantly darkened. He said indignantly, "The reason you don't find it offensive is because all the scolding and beatings fell on me alone. That wicked woman actually wanted to sell you to another family. As her illegitimate daughter born to another noble, you could extort a fortune from those people!"

As he spoke, the brother deliberately pretended to be extremely ferocious, gesturing towards his sister with his teeth and claws, trying to scare her.

The young and ignorant sister obviously did not understand the deep meaning of it. She just shook her head in confusion and said, "I don't know what it means..."

Seeing this, the brother quickly put away his frightened expression, gently patted his sister's head and comforted her, "It's okay. You don't need to understand the twists and turns here. Just remember, from now on, no matter when or where, just follow me closely."

The younger sister nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, sure! I will definitely stay by my brother's side forever."

After saying that, she threw herself into her brother's warm embrace.

Sitian gazed tenderly at the petite and lovely sister in front of him, his heart full of doting.

At this moment, he had to flee from that home with his sister.

This was not his intention, but was forced by the situation.

Their mother worked in a despicable profession, and their younger sister was born simply because of an accidental negligence that caused the contraceptive measures to fail.

His sister had the same charming green eyes as him, but she was naturally beautiful and her appearance was very lovable.

But it was this beauty that gave their mother evil thoughts. She planned to raise her daughter and then extort a large sum of money from the nobles.

You know, in a family like this, a young master actually had an affair and gave birth to a child, which would undoubtedly cause many adverse effects and corrupt the family tradition.

The worst-case scenario is that the two parties reach a deal, one party pays the money and the other party hands over the person, and then my sister may disappear without a trace.

Rather than living like that, it would be better to escape from this terrifying home with my sister.

There's always hope of survival, isn't there?

Especially when I think about how my mother knew that my sister was suffering from some disease, her face became even more hideous and terrifying.

"I'm going out first. You should read those books I spent so much effort to find several times!"

While whispering instructions to his sister, Sitian waved at her gently, then turned around and carried the slightly worn bamboo basket on his back.

The sky is still clear blue at this time, and the sun shines on the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to people.

Sitian knew very well that he didn't have much time left.

He had to collect as much food as possible before the sun set, enough to sustain him for the next few days.

Because once it snows, the bad weather conditions will definitely not allow him to go out to look for food every day.

Before he had a younger sister, he had been hanging around in the city for a long time, so he still had some basic survival skills in the wild.

He searched for food in the wild as usual, and the carefully set traps finally yielded a harvest, capturing three fat rabbits.

"Your entire family actually fell into my trap?"

After saying that, he reached out and skillfully grabbed the long ears of the hares, threw them one by one into the heavy bamboo basket behind him, and then started digging up the wild vegetables from the big tree.

The way back requires passing through a bustling town, and he has long been accustomed to the various stories that happen in this town every day.

"Huh? That's right! I was the one who knocked you down. So, what do you want? Do you want me to go over and apologize to you in person?"

The burly man among them shouted arrogantly.

The man who was knocked to the ground seemed a little timid. Facing the other party's aggressiveness, he stammered in response: "No... No... It's all my fault. I walked wrong."

Apparently, the innocent injured person had to bow his head and admit his mistake against his will because he was afraid of the other party's powerful aura and strong physique.

This kind of scene of the strong bullying the weak seems to be common here, and most people choose to turn a blind eye or remain indifferent.

Before offering help, you must think carefully.

Not only do you need to estimate your own abilities, but you also have to consider whether the other party has a strong background.

Acting rashly will only bring you endless trouble and worries.

Sitian silently carried the slightly heavy bamboo basket on his back and walked slowly and steadily past the two people.

When a weak person is bullied by a strong person, the unexpressable resentment and anger deep in their hearts often prompts them to transfer these emotions to people who are weaker than themselves. It seems that only in this way can their humiliated hearts find a little comfort.

"You little kid, do you think it's funny to see me making fun of you? You actually walked right past me with such brazenness!"

Sitian frowned slightly and responded, "That's simply because you're blocking my way. I just want to pass straight through. There's no other intention."

In fact, he did not expect that the person in front of him would even run up to him and block his way.

I can only say that I look like someone who is easy to bully.

Sitian sighed, then slowly squatted down and gently placed the heavy bamboo basket on his back on the ground.

Time passed minute by minute, and several minutes passed.

A voice filled with fear and regret came: "Little brother, I know I was wrong!"

The man just turned around and ran away without saying a word.

He probably never imagined that Steyan would be so powerful, and he would fight to the death, just like a wild dog on the roadside, chasing and biting you.

Since you dare to hurt me, you must leave something for me.

As Sitian thought about it, he quickly raised his hand and used his sleeve to wipe away the bright red blood flowing from his nose.

He bent down to pick up the purse that the other person had dropped when he fled in a hurry, and threw it high into the air.

Seeing the purse fall steadily into his hands, Steyan nodded with satisfaction, then casually stuffed it into his pocket.

It looks like this road is no longer viable and we have to take a detour.

Winning is the same as not winning.

If I were more powerful, I wouldn't have to worry about the consequences.

When Steyan returned to the stone hut, he paused for a moment before beginning to carefully and meticulously check his condition.

After confirming again and again that he was fine, he slowly reached out and gently pushed the door made of wooden boards.

Inside the house, I saw my sister lying quietly on a pile of hay and sleeping. She looked particularly peaceful.

Seeing this, Stefan tiptoed forward, gently held his sister in his arms, and put a new quilt he had just bought under her.

After everything was arranged, Steyan went outside to prepare today's food.

Snowflakes are falling heavily, and they are getting heavier.

It seems that the brother and sister will not be able to go out for the time being until they buy new clothes.

"The meal is ready, get up and eat."

......

"Whoosh-!"

An arrow suddenly flew out and accurately hit a three-legged chicken that was eating weeds on the roadside with relish.

"My sister has been feeling sleepy and weak lately. It seems that just feeding her with those unnutritious wild vegetables is no longer enough. I have to find a way to get her more meat to nourish her body."

Steyan ran forward quickly, intending to put the fruits of his hard-earned hunt into the basket he carried with him.

Just as he bent down and reached out to pick up the three-legged chicken, a creepy wolf howl suddenly came from behind him.

A large, shaggy adult wolf was staring at him with a pair of vicious eyes.

After staring at the wild wolf for a while, although he was unwilling, he wisely chose to give up and did not stop until he was far away from the wild wolf.

He was far from being strong enough to challenge such a ferocious adult wolf single-handedly.

Just as Steyan turned around and prepared to leave with regret in his heart, an even louder noise came from behind him.

A huge snow leopard pounced on the wolf that was hunting, opened its bloody mouth and bit the wolf's throat fiercely.

It's really the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.

If we humans do not use various tools and weapons, it would be almost impossible to defeat these ferocious beasts with bare hands.

If only these animals knew how to use tools like humans.

But how is that possible? Their brains haven't evolved to be that smart.

A rustling figure in the distance suddenly appeared in Steyan's field of vision, instantly attracting his attention.

In fact, this was the result of his observation for several days in a row, the man who always wore white clothes.

Every time he appears, there is another person by his side.

When Steyan sees them again, something even stranger will happen. That person will suddenly release some special abilities.

"Hmm... maybe I could go check it out."

A hint of determination flashed in Sitian's eyes, his figure slid down the snow slope, and then quickly followed.

After following half the distance, the man in white clothes suddenly disappeared.

"Gone."

Steyan whispered softly, and he who had been hiding behind the tree suddenly jumped out.

"Hello~"

An inexplicable sound instantly made Steyan alert, and he quickly pulled the bow in his hand.

"I'm curious, how did you dare to catch up with me alone?"

A man in white clothes appeared, waving his hands rapidly. The ground began to shake violently, and stone pillars came towards Steyan, instantly restraining him tightly.

As the stone pillar continued to shrink, the powerful force pressed on Steyan so hard that he could hardly move. The bow and arrow in his hand also fell to the ground with a clang under the influence of this force, splashing a cloud of snow dust.

"Because... the people you brought seem greedy for money." Sitian suppressed his physical discomfort and tried to make his voice sound steady. "I heard that you can gain power here, right?"

"Yes, but I need a reason."

The man in white raised his chin slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"I want... to do whatever I want..."

Sitian's answer was concise and powerful, his eyes sparkling with a desire for freedom and endless possibilities.

"Interesting answer, much better than those who just want power to take revenge on others."

The man in white had a faint smile on his face, and seemed quite satisfied with Steyan's answer.

He waved his hand gently, and the stone pillars surrounding Steyan slowly dissipated like phantoms.

As the stone pillars dissipated, Stig felt the pressure suddenly relieved. He first exhaled heavily, then got up and quickly followed the man in white.

"Do you know about the fusion experiment?"

The man in white walked ahead, speaking without turning back, "For those who are determined to become stronger, this is arguably the fastest path. Our organization has always upheld a unique philosophy, never mocking the weak and helpless. Because when the desire to become stronger sprouts deep within a person, obsession has quietly taken root in their heart."

Sitian said nothing, but followed the man in white closely to a mysterious underground place hidden under the snow.

As soon as he stepped in, he was shocked by the dazzling array of instruments in front of him. Various instruments with strange lights and complex structures were arranged in a criss-cross manner, which was dazzling.

"Our mission is to skillfully amplify their obsessions and thereby gain immense power from them. Most participants either tragically die during the experiment or become disabled due to experimental failure. I have always had a special liking for those who harbor obsessions, so here, all resources are at your disposal, as long as you have enough courage and ability to control them."

After thinking for a moment, Sitian asked, "The deeper the obsession, the greater the chance of success, right?"

"That's right." The man in white nodded slightly. "We are considered losers in this world, so there's no need to demand perfection in everything. All we can do is pursue that glimmer of hope of becoming stronger within this limited scope."

Sitian did not respond to the man in white's sigh, his eyes wandering among the many mysterious objects.

He pointed at the object in the distance that was emitting a strange red light, his eyes filled with determination and resolve: "Okay, I want the thing inside that's emitting red light."

"Red light?"

The man in white was stunned at first, then smiled meaningfully. "Interesting! You have a unique vision. But this item is extremely precious and valuable, so naturally, you can't keep it all to yourself. So now it depends on who among you can unleash its power to its fullest potential. Only the strongest will be qualified to truly possess it."

"What happens if it succeeds?"

"Get the breath of God."
