Chapter 567 What are you doing here again?
"Where is this?" Zhang Jianjun slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. He found himself in a completely unfamiliar place, and a wave of panic and uneasiness surged in his heart.
The scene here was completely different from the world he was familiar with. A thin layer of fog filled the air, making the vision a little blurry. In the distance, rolling mountains were vaguely visible, but the shape of the peaks seemed extremely strange, as if they were twisted by some mysterious force. Under his feet was a soft grass field, emerald green, like a huge green velvet carpet spread on the ground. The grass was dotted with colorful unknown wild flowers, emitting bursts of faint fragrance.
Zhang Jianjun stood up and tried to figure out where he was. He looked around, and saw no signs of life except for this strange scenery. The wind blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, and also blew the corners of his clothes. He couldn't help but shiver, and a feeling of loneliness and helplessness came over him.
At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard coming from far away, accompanied by a loud shout: "Hurry, this is where the spirit beast is, we have to move quickly, don't let it run away!" In a blink of an eye, several figures approached quickly like a gust of wind.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a group of young and strong men galloping towards this side. They all looked nervous and excited, their eyes fixed firmly on the front, as if the spirit beast that was about to be caught was already in their pockets.
The group of men soon arrived at their destination. When they saw Zhang Jianjun standing there, they were stunned. One of them was the first to react. He widened his eyes and shouted at Zhang Jianjun with suspicion: "Hey! Who are you? Why are you here? Don't you know that we are catching spirit beasts? How dare you stop us here!" His words were full of questioning and dissatisfaction.
Zhang Jianjun hurriedly explained, "I don't know why I'm here. I woke up here." The man looked him up and down. Seeing that he was dressed strangely and didn't look like a local, he became more alert. "Anyway, you'd better not get in our way. This spirit beast is a very precious thing." After saying that, he led the others to continue searching forward.
Zhang Jianjun followed curiously at a distance. Suddenly, a low roar came from the bushes, and then a small animal emitting blue light rushed out. The group of people immediately surrounded it, and the small animal rushed left and right. A blue light flashed, and several people were shocked and stepped back. Taking advantage of this gap, the small animal ran towards Zhang Jianjun and hid behind him. Everyone was furious when they saw this, "Boy, if you don't want to cause trouble, hand over the spirit beast quickly." Zhang Jianjun looked at the trembling little animal at his feet, felt pity, and said, "It looks scared of you, maybe you shouldn't capture it like this." Everyone snorted coldly and wanted to seize it by force. At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, a black shadow enveloped, and a strong pressure spread. Everyone looked up in horror.
A huge black bird appeared in the sky, its wings spread several feet wide, and its eyes were like two burning flames. "This... this is the Black Flame Peng!" Someone in the crowd shouted in fear. The Black Flame Peng let out a sharp cry, as if warning everyone not to get close.
Zhang Jianjun protected the little beast behind him, and although he was afraid, he was unwilling to retreat. The hunters hesitated, on the one hand they were unwilling to give up the spirit beast, and on the other hand they were afraid of the attack of the Black Flame Peng.
The Black Flame Peng suddenly swooped down, aiming directly at the hunters. The hunters took out their weapons to resist, and for a moment, fire flew everywhere. However, the Black Flame Peng was too powerful, and after a few rounds, the hunters were already covered in wounds.
At this time, Zhang Jianjun plucked up the courage and shouted to Hei Yanpeng: "Do you want to protect this little beast? If so, I can hand the little beast over to you, but I ask you to let these people go." Hei Yanpeng stopped attacking, tilted his head and looked at Zhang Jianjun, as if he understood what he said.
Zhang Jianjun gently picked up the little animal and walked towards Black Flame Peng. The little animal rubbed his hand affectionately and then jumped onto Black Flame Peng's back. Black Flame Peng let out a long cry and flew away with the little animal. The sky gradually became bright again, and the hunters looked at Zhang Jianjun with lingering fear, with a little more gratitude and awe in their eyes.
They were seen running away in a panic, looking like dogs that had lost their homes. Zhang Jianjun looked at their figures going away and couldn't help but feel relieved. At this moment, he suddenly noticed a small and exquisite wooden house not far away. Although the wooden house looked a little old, it exuded a sense of tranquility and warmth.
Zhang Jianjun walked towards the wooden house curiously. When he gently pushed open the slightly mottled wooden door, a faint wood fragrance hit him. When he walked into the house, he was surprised to find that the house had all the daily necessities, from daily food and drinking water to bedding and other daily necessities. This was like timely help to Zhang Jianjun, who was exhausted at the moment.
He thought to himself: "In this case, I might as well settle down here for a while and make plans after I have recovered my strength." Thinking of this, Zhang Jianjun began to tidy up the wooden house.
At the same time, the group of people who fled back to the sect in a panic were not so lucky. They stood dejectedly in the sect hall, facing the severe rebuke of the sect elders, and dared not breathe a word.
"You bunch of useless people! How can we expect you to achieve anything if you can't even catch a small spiritual beast?" The elder of the sect was furious, his voice was deafening. Everyone was silent, bowed their heads, and regretted it in their hearts.
The leading disciple whispered, "Elder, we met someone who stopped us from catching the spirit beast!"
The elder was furious: "Huang Da, you guys were defeated by just one person? You are such a waste!"
Huang Da said: "Elder, that man's behavior is strange, not like an ordinary person!"
The elder frowned, "No matter who he is, we cannot let him go easily since he ruined our good deeds. Huang Da, take some people back and make sure to find out this person's origins. If possible, capture him and bring him back to the sect directly." Huang Da took the order and left.
Zhang Jianjun had spent a few days peacefully in the wooden house. One day, he was basking in the sun outside when he saw a group of people approaching the wooden house aggressively. Huang Da pointed at him and shouted, "It's him." The crowd immediately surrounded Zhang Jianjun.
Zhang Jianjun remained calm and asked, "What are you doing here again?" Huang Da sneered, "Come with us, our elder wants to see you." Zhang Jianjun refused, and the two sides immediately became hostile.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and a huge stone statue broke out of the ground. The stone statue was engraved with runes all over its body, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. Everyone was terrified and at a loss. But Zhang Jianjun seemed to be summoned and unconsciously approached the stone statue. The stone statue emitted a beam of light that enveloped Zhang Jianjun, and a large number of unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind. It turned out that he was inextricably linked to this world, and the crisis before him was just the beginning of his fate.
