Chapter 001 The protagonist of this book has passed away

Zhou Qingfeng felt suspicious, but the group surrounding him, armed with clubs, knives, and forks, was impatiently urging him to lead the way.

Zhou Qingfeng looked around, while an ugly old man followed him at a distance of three to five meters.

Victor Hugo, go quickly. You are a brave one, destined to become a hero. We all support you

Her tall and graceful figure is exquisite and well-proportioned; although she finds herself in a difficult situation, her outstanding beauty is hard to conceal, instead exuding a unique charm akin to a pearl covered in dust

A dull, thunderous sound suddenly echoed from the depths of the cave, and two enormous, bright vertical pupils opened in the darkness

This girl is truly beautiful

Treasure

Zhou Qingfeng was shocked—what did this old man just say? Why can I actually understand it?

Strange sounds can be heard from time to time in the forest, coming from near and far.

The forest is already quite safe, with at most one or two skeletons remaining at the entrance.

Or perhaps there truly is a beautiful princess imprisoned here, waiting for a handsome and brave hero to come to her rescue? I am not afraid of that at all

This statement sounds nothing more than a seduction

He stood at the foot of the hill, unwilling to move forward any longer, and angrily asked, "What is going on? What is there in the cave?"

Zhou Qingfeng's heart tightened and he panicked. He usually kept his distance even from fights, so how could he have ever experienced a situation where he was besieged by arrows?

The forest is dim and shadowy, with the trees twisted into grotesque shapes, as if the trunks are imprisoning tormented souls within.

Several bow-wielding villains swiftly aimed at Zhou Qingfeng and shot arrows at him, with several arrows whizzing towards him

Give me a boost!

A massive monster makes a dazzling entrance—what the hell, there is actually a dragon in this damned cave

In the darkness, an ugly maw filled with fangs first emerged, followed by nostrils like those of a barrel, exhaling waves of hot air

Go in search of treasure

Wait... bed

In the midst of his slumber, a shout startled him awake. Upon opening his eyes, he saw a toothless, ugly old man leaning closer, grinning in a manner more terrifying than a ghost.

Damn, these bastards are serious

As he turned his head to look back, a group of unsightly individuals all wore forced smiles, yet they absolutely would not allow him to retreat

Is there a golden finger

Having crossed over without any mental preparation, Zhou Qingfeng found himself thrust into a survival crisis, akin to being forced to undertake a task without readiness

All the furniture and bedding in the original bedroom have disappeared

"I will not go; you are definitely trying to deceive me," Zhou Qingfeng stood on the slope, refusing to move, pointing his broken knife.

The ugly old man also patted Zhou Qingfeng's chest, cheerfully showcasing the latter's physique

The ugly old man laughed heartily and pointed to the dense forest not far from the hillside

There was no path in front of the cave, only a rugged and uneven slope of loose stones. Zhou Qingfeng stood at the bottom of the slope

Near the entrance of the cave, a strong scent of sulfur wafted out

The ugly old man has a high nose and deep-set eyes, with a countenance that is quite repulsive

It merely let out a trumpet-like sound, and a scorching gust of air, accompanied by the scent of sulfur, surged forth, instantly turning the dazed Zhou Qingfeng into charred remains, reduced to ash upon hitting the ground

We have a large number of people, and if we all work together, there will definitely be no problem

In summary, this sound serves as a warning, reminding Zhou Qingfeng to stay away, and it would be best to turn around and run.

The jagged rocky slopes are interspersed with craggy crevices, where wild grasses grow thickly. Withered grass stems bend in the wind, and the echoes of scattered stones resonate in the parched river valley

There is no bed at all

These souls are emitting silent screams, unable to live and unable to die

Zhou Qingfeng had already called out to all the gods and Buddhas in his heart, but there was no response whatsoever

In this situation, Zhou Qingfeng was drenched in cold sweat and dared not speak carelessly. He took a few steps back in an attempt to avoid the approaching ugly old man, only to find himself surrounded in front and behind, with no way to retreat.

Finally

"Tell me the truth, what is really in the cave? If it is just a few easily dealt with skeletons, why didn't you come along?"

Upon arriving outside the cave, the group led by the ugly old man remained hidden in the woods, peering out and refusing to come out, only shouting threats and intimidation

A group of people, without any preparation, desperately urged Zhou Qingfeng to enter the cave

Where am I?

Her hair was disheveled, her face covered in dust, and her long dress was tattered in several places, yet she possessed a stunning beauty, a rare and exquisite charm.

This filthy and stinking old man forcefully shoved a broken knife into Zhou Qingfeng's hand and shouted loudly

Zhou Qingfeng was greatly surprised—wasn't it said that there was a skeleton? Where is the skeleton? How come it turned out to be a woman instead?

He was completely in a state of isolation and was forced to traverse through the woods

The ugly old man and others cowered in fear at the back, and Zhou Qingfeng was also afraid

Zhou Qingfeng touched his face without changing his expression—his appearance had not changed, but he looked much younger and significantly stronger

Victor Hugo, you are the youngest and the most formidable among us. A brave young person should go forth to create miracles, so go ahead!

He lowered his head to take a look and found that his usually slender figure had suddenly transformed—tall, strong, with distinct lines, robust strength, and well-developed limbs

Could it be the Red Skull? But this skull is too beautiful.

In a state of confusion, Zhou Qingfeng was pushed into the dark woods without understanding the situation at all

The scent of sulfur swirls as a large figure moves slowly

Its rough scales seem to be scorched in lava, emitting a shimmering dark red

The ugly old man is still directing from a distance, yet he does not dare to shout and scream as he did outside the forest, seemingly afraid of disturbing something within the cave

A layer of black, glossy putty had formed on his tattered, rag-like clothing, and the legs of his trousers were torn to the point of being only half intact, while his feet were shod in crudely tied animal hides. Stray hay was poking out from the animal hides, serving as a means of insulation.

After glancing again at the rust-covered, broken knife in his hand, he stiffly asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Seeing the arrows shot towards him, he quickly turned around and fled, scrambling up the slope using both his hands and feet

The young woman spoke first, sighing softly as she said: "Fool and - picture - book, why aren't you running quickly?"

Only this beautiful woman coldly gazed at the stranger emerging from the cave, silent and expressionless, standing still.

They do not run fast and lack intelligence, you lure them out, and we will help you eliminate them. You will be able to enter safely

The arrow relentlessly pursued, forcing Zhou Qingfeng into the cave.

Zhou Qingfeng felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly, on the verge of bursting

The protagonist of this book has died

A few crude bows and arrows were aimed at Zhou Qingfeng, demanding that he quickly enter the cave to retrieve some treasure

Outside the cave, there were terrifying screams from the ugly old man and others as they fled in panic, while inside the cave, a hot air current was swirling about

Zhou Qingfeng pinched himself hard, feeling a sharp pain.

Go in and find the treasure, you take the most, just share some with us

The invisible pressure surged like a tide, and the temperature of the air rose rapidly

From the hillside, one gazes upon an endless expanse of forest. Its vast area stretches far into the distance, with no end in sight

He wanted to resist, but the villains in front and behind him would not allow it, pushing and shoving him forcefully to the front.

Is there a system

Nightmare? No.

Zhou Qingfeng stood up straight, wanting to greet with a "hi".

The ugly old man's face immediately fell, and he waved his hand behind him.

While others traverse through time enjoying delicious food and luxurious lives, why do I encounter such troublesome matters in my journey?

Time is running out for Zhou Qingfeng

There was an ugly old man with dark skin and a face full of wrinkles grinning foolishly at him. Surrounding him were more than ten ragged individuals staring at him and laughing.

Zhou Qingfeng jumped out of bed with a shout of "Ah".

Victor Hugo, do not be afraid. There are only a few skeletal remains of the deceased in the cave

The dragon's vertical pupils opened, reflecting the weak humans at the cave entrance, its gaze emanating extreme disdain

... ...

It is clearly an act of coercion through military force to select a scapegoat

It howls like a wolf, bellows like a cow, or perhaps resembles some other terrifying creature

What are you running for?

The ugly old man and others shouted in unison, "A substantial treasure. There are countless gold coins and gems, expensive magical potions and enchanted equipment

He cursed inwardly, "A brave man? I fear that if I enter, I will become a dead man. Even if there is treasure inside the cave, there is surely great danger within."

There is a cave behind the forest, and you can find treasure if you go in. Hurry, there is not much danger.

There is also a beautiful princess imprisoned, waiting for you to rescue her

He originally intended to find a place to hide from the arrows behind him, but unexpectedly saw a young woman standing on one side of the cave

A grotesque and terrifying head, embodying extreme evil, faintly emerges

Laozi has traveled through time

I did not see the skeleton

The space suddenly opened up, replaced by a desolate wilderness of cold, whistling mountains.

Where can I run to?

If you do not comply, a pitchfork will be thrust towards you

Behind the forest is a cliff, where there is a massive cave entrance at the edge of the precipice

Zhou Qingfeng suddenly became alert. Before his eyes, the time and space had changed, and he found himself in a different world

A flame ignited within the cave, illuminating this terrifying creature
