Creation of the Universe

The mist-shrouded Spirit Beast Forest was just beginning to dawn with dew.

Three figures came one after another from a distance. They tiptoed, looked left and right from time to time, and looked very nervous.

One of the girls, dressed in green, said softly in a trembling voice, "I hope it won't be so scary here after daybreak."

The burly man walking in front of her shattered her fantasy too bluntly, "This is the Spirit Beast Forest. Nighttime has its own terrors, and daytime naturally has its own terrors. All in all, we have to be careful. We were lucky not to encounter any high-level spirit beasts last night."

The other young man, who had been silent the entire time, had a worried look on his face. "I don't know where our junior sister has gone. She's wandering alone in this Spirit Beast Forest. She's bound to be easily attacked. We have to hurry."

"There's no point in being anxious. The person was lost with you. You should have been more careful at the time."

"Yes, Big Brother, I know I was wrong."

It turned out that among them, the older and burly man was the eldest brother and the backbone, and the other two listened to his advice very much.

They had lost their junior sister last night, so they ventured out to look for her. However, they were afraid of alarming the nearby spirit beasts, so they could only search around carefully and did not dare to call out the junior sister's name easily.

The three people walked farther and farther, and finally did not notice anything unusual under their feet. To them, the Spirit Beast Forest was like a nightmare, and they just hoped to escape from here as soon as possible.

After a long time, footsteps were heard again in the grass not far away.

This time, the step was alone and extremely gentle. Even if one didn't see the real person, one could guess that it was probably a slim woman.

"Brother, why are all the senior sisters nowhere to be seen? Did I come to the wrong place again?"

A sweet female voice, with a heavy tone of worry, and finally a slow sigh.

Just as she was struggling to walk in the grass that was more than half a person's height, her feet were suddenly tripped by something and she fell face down on the ground in panic.

The fall almost scared her to death, because there was a dead body lying where she fell. The two of them were almost face to face as they had a strange eye contact. There was no scene more terrifying than this.

"what!!!"

The woman screamed, but it did not relieve the huge fear in her heart.

She struggled to get up from the ground and was about to flee when she heard the corpse speak: "Girl, please wait, I need some water."

Although she was terrified, the woman only ran a few steps before she stopped dead in her tracks.

She was trying to calm herself down, and she knew that a corpse could not speak, let alone have any temperature.

"You...who are you?"

The "corpse" lying on the ground answered, "My name is Shen Zhan. I accidentally ate the poisonous fruit here, so I've been lying here all night."

"If it's convenient for you, please get me some water. I really need it."

After hearing what Shen Zhan said, the woman calmed down a little.

The only consolation for her was that in such a desolate place, she actually met a living person. They were both wanderers in the world, which aroused her sympathy.

"Okay...okay, wait for me while I go look for it."

There was no water source nearby, but there was a lot of dew hanging on the branches and leaves of the grass, so the woman found a palm-sized leaf, carefully collected the water and brought it to Shen Zhan's mouth.

A clear and sweet taste instantly slid into Shen Zhan's throat. After a dry night, he finally drank water. At the same time, the numbness caused by the poisonous fruit was quickly subsiding.

"Can you stand up?"

the woman asked softly.

Shen Zhan tried, but found that he couldn't do it so quickly, so he said, "Not yet, but it should be soon. What's your name, young lady? Why did you come to the Spirit Beast Forest alone?"

"My name is Tang Muqing. I came here with my senior brothers and sisters. But at first we had no idea this was the Spirit Beast Forest. We ended up just wandering in like that."

"You're lucky enough not to have encountered any powerful spirit beasts yet, but this place is full of dangers. You should leave as soon as possible."

Shen Zhan had good intentions, but just as he finished speaking, he heard someone rushing towards him.

"Junior Sister, I finally found you. Who are you talking to?"

Tang Muqing looked up and saw that it was her senior brothers and sisters who came to see her. She immediately smiled and even cried with joy!

"Big Brother!"

"Senior Sister... I finally found you!"

When these people came closer, they were all shocked to see Shen Zhan lying on the ground.

"Junior Sister, what's going on? Why is he lying here?"

Tang Muqing replied, "This young man accidentally ate a poisonous fruit, which made him unable to move. I stumbled upon him and decided to help him."

"Junior Sister, you are too kind, but you don't know how dangerous this world is. Isn't it strange that he appeared in the Spirit Beast Forest alone?"

The eldest senior brother stared at Shen Zhan and questioned him sternly.

Tang Muqing hesitated, "I...I don't think he's a bad person, and he can't move at all since he's lying there, so he'll be fine."

"Humph, how do you know he's not pretending? Maybe, even if he really did eat the poisonous fruit by mistake, that doesn't mean he's a good person."

Another senior sister also nodded and agreed, "Yes, what Senior Brother said makes sense. We shouldn't trust anyone in such a dangerous place. Junior Sister, let's go!"

"But... isn't it a bad idea for us to just abandon him like this? If a spirit beast passes by here, he'll be in great danger."

Tang Muqing was pulled over by her senior sister, but she still turned her head to look at Shen Zhan. The worry in her eyes was a true expression of her feelings, and this kindness was precious.

"Junior Sister, didn't I tell you? When you're out and about, the only people you can rely on are your fellow disciples. You can't trust any other strangers."

They were about to leave from here, but an accident suddenly happened at this time. They saw a ferocious spirit beast with blood-red fangs appearing in front of them, looking hideous and terrifying.

"It's a spirit beast!"

"what should we do?"

"It seems to have regarded us as its hunting target."

An unexpected situation suddenly occurred. Tang Muqing was so scared that she dared not move, while the eldest brother drew the sword in his hand, but did not dare to rashly launch an attack.

"This is a fifth-level spirit beast, the Wind-Escape Beast! We can't defeat it!"

The thing they were most worried about happened. The appearance of the Wind-Escape Beast brought a huge crisis.
