Chapter 5, Night Wanderings, Wolf Pack

His head was able to be lifted

Wang Qi's emotions immediately experienced a great fluctuation, and his entire nervous system became extremely tense

In the eyes of others, sleep is naturally a state of recuperation and physical restoration, but for him, it is merely a physical rest; rather, it is the optimal moment for his consciousness to 'leap' out.

Originally, Wang Qi also thought that this might be a kind of illness, which affected his sleep quality poorly

This time, he also took advantage of the fact that he was experiencing a surge of vitality within himself, feeling quite good in terms of his mental state, which is why he wanted to attempt it consecutively.

A pack of wolves charged directly at him!

The control of one's emotions is of utmost importance in a state of dissociation

At this moment, Wang Qi turned his head to take a glance, only to find that his body was still lying on the ground, motionless and sound asleep

He practices "out-of-body experiences" primarily due to his curiosity about this strange world

He looked around at the pitch-black forest, but suddenly felt a strong premonition, sensing that some terrifying creature might emerge from the darkness

Wang Qiming understood that he could not allow this panic to escalate, otherwise this time of leaving his body would end in vain again

This time he was unable to jump up all at once; it seems that the lengthy recitation of scriptures the previous night had left him somewhat fatigued.

Due to his extensive experience gained from years of attempts, he quickly felt that the sense of restraint on him was somewhat loosened under this vibration

Wang Qi summarized that it is essentially about "survival"... Wang Dashan did not want him to take risks; he only hoped that he could survive in the military and then, at the right moment, "transition to civilian life".

In reality, his body did not move at all; this sensation of vibration was merely an illusion... Or rather, it was not his body, which lay still, that was vibrating.

Wang Qi listened to Wang Dashan's ramblings, lying in a dry spot and dozing off.

He has completed the out-of-body experience

In such a state of out-of-body experience, Wang Qi has succeeded no more than ten times in total, as achieving this state also depends on one's mental condition; it is evidently impossible to succeed when one is mentally exhausted

"Are you having a nightmare?" Wang Dashan also woke up

His body quickly entered a state of dormancy, yet his consciousness remained exceptionally alert

Indeed, at the next moment with the book, shadows began to sway in the pitch-black forest, and then it seemed that the sound of something passing by could be heard

The weather in the mountains is indeed changeable; the heavy rain stopped by midnight, and even the sky revealed the bright moon that had already risen to its zenith.

At this moment, even though his consciousness is awake, he is unable to command his body to perform any actions... Ordinary people regard this as a 'nightmare', feeling that it is a terrifying state of being haunted by something unclean.

He only felt that his body and entire head were vibrating rapidly, as if he were shaking uncontrollably.

Due to his uniqueness, his understanding of sleep differs somewhat from that of others

He gritted his teeth and suddenly stood up straight.

However, he gritted his teeth and quickly sat up with his entire upper body.

It was precisely in this tense state that he suddenly became clear-headed and sat up from the floor.

He mockingly said, "At such an age, you still have nightmares?"

Wang Qi's spirit floated to the door, intending to push it open, but then he passed right through it... At this moment, he did not have a physical form; he merely retained the habitual action of wanting to push the door.

Moreover, as he becomes increasingly skilled, he has also begun to venture further and further away

At this moment, he remains in a state of physical slumber while his consciousness is awake, yet this consciousness seems to have split into two, with two selves gazing at each other from a distance

However, when he unexpectedly "jumped" out one time, he realized that this might be a form of practice... He simply had no source of knowledge in this regard, and Wang Dashan was completely unaware of it as well, so he could only explore and attempt it on his own

As soon as this thought arose, Wang realized that it was not good...! ... He had entertained an improper thought!

After several experiences, if this final step cannot be successfully completed, then all the losses incurred from the previous struggles will be reflected back on oneself the next day... In short, it means that one will not have any good spirits throughout the entire day

It was as if, at that moment, his will was exceptionally clear, and then he began to struggle.

He only felt a scorching sensation all over his body, which was the 'aftertaste' after returning from the out-of-body experience. He even knew that if he practiced diligently in this state, the gains would be substantial

Due to the fact that the number of successful out-of-body experiences is quite limited, his astral body at this moment does not dare to stray too far from his physical form. He is akin to a newborn infant, filled with unfamiliarity and panic towards everything in the external world, fearing that venturing too far may lead to some danger

The surroundings still resemble a hunter's cabin, and Wang Dashan is sound asleep.

Thus, he felt a lightness throughout his body, having completed the final departure... Or rather, he preferred to use the term 'out of body' to describe it

It even felt as if the entire body was tilted upright in a manner that absolutely defied the principles of mechanics, with only the lower legs seemingly pressed down and unable to rise.

Thus, Wang Qi this time controlled his thoughts, refraining from any notions, and simply embraced a pure curiosity in tranquility, beginning to explore this completely unfamiliar world to him

He knows in his heart that there is only one last step remaining, and if he gives up at this moment, it would truly be a great loss

Upon arriving outside, he curiously surveyed his surroundings... This was his first time venturing out into the mountains, and he was unaware of what strange sights he might encounter.

Once any delusion arises, various phantoms and illusions will appear before you... After a series of entanglements, you will undoubtedly feel mentally exhausted the next day

And this consciousness of "going out," Wang Qi felt might be his own soul, yet it seemed somewhat different, because he was clearly still aware within his physical body.

Such thoughts surged strongly in Wang Qi's mind once again, making him aware that this was merely an intensified delusion, yet he could not help but continue to ponder what might emerge from the darkness

something happened

But now he had no mood to reminisce; he instinctively rushed to a lookout point of the wooden cabin, gazing at the pitch-black forest outside as if he wanted to see something.

This night, be sure to rest well, for once we enter deep into the mountains and forests, there will be much to worry about

That night, after Wang Qi had a long conversation with Wang Dashan about the 'Military Survival Manual', once Wang Dashan ceased to oppose Wang Qi's enlistment, it seemed as if he wanted to impart all his 'ill intentions' to Wang Qi.

At this moment, he only felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, as if he had reached the point of exhaustion

Wang Qiquan continued to stare at the dark forest outside and asked in response, "Uncle Dashan, do you think there will be a pack of wolves passing through this place?"

But if the escape is successful

Then, in the next moment, indeed something happened... it rushed out...
