When Huo Zhanji regained consciousness, the first six senses he recovered were smell. The aroma of green grass resonates in the nose. The fresh air restored his somewhat dazed spirits.
Opening his eyes, his pupils slowly shrank, and he subconsciously mobilized his soul power. After trying a bit, he found that his body was slowly regaining consciousness and was able to move.
Looking around subconsciously, he discovered that he should be in a forest. When he looked at himself again, he found that the Shrek Academy uniform on his body was gone, replaced by simple cloth clothes and at first glance, they were not modern products.
Turning and sitting up, he rubbed his eyes. Am I dreaming?
At this moment, an electronic beep suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Mad God World, First Act."
“There are many races living in the Jinyuan Continent, among which humans, demons, and orcs are the most powerful. There are also dwarves who are good at smelting, elves who are good at bows and arrows, and a few dragons. To compete for more land and Resources, wars have been going on for hundreds of years. In the beginning, humanity was at an absolute disadvantage, and they were almost wiped out several times, but with the ability to reproduce quickly, they gradually regained their strength, and even defeated the demons and beasts. The tribe is in a precarious situation. To fight against the human race, the demon and beast tribes united, which effectively balanced their forces.
There are three main professions across the continent. Martial arts are the most popular because the threshold is relatively low and anyone can practice them which is closely related to understanding and hard work. Next is the wizard, which is also a very popular profession, but requires stronger mental strength than ordinary people to practice. Finally, there is a combination of the first two - magic warriors. Due to the balance between magic and martial arts, it was difficult for magic warriors to train both to a high level. However, the mutual cooperation between magic and martial arts has brought the possibility of survival of this profession.
Human Race: Claiming to be descended from gods, they are physically weak but have high intelligence and excellent learning abilities. High-level human warriors signed contracts with dragons to become dragon warriors, which was the strongest force among humans. Only those who reach the level of the Light Knight can be recognized by the dragons of the hundred dragon knights. There were only three dragon knights and they were also the most powerful pillars of the Dragon God Empire. They were referred to as the three imperial officers. They had achieved great success in battles against demons and beasts. With a brilliant record, they are the mainstay of humanity.
Demons: Supporting the power of freedom, they look similar to humans in appearance, but have stronger bodies. High-level demons also have equally high intelligence. The demon champion army was a Fallen Angel war group consisting entirely of nobles who could transform into Fallen Angels. Although his strength is weaker than that of the Dragon Knight, he makes up for the shortcomings with his powerful dark magic power. However, the number of demon clans who can transform is too rare. Transformation of Fallen Angels, only two of them can transform into four-winged Fallen Angels, namely the Demon Emperor and the Captain of his Imperial Guard. The rest are Fallen Angels with two wings.
Orcs: Support absolute power. Only by relying on superpowers can they be recognized by the orcs. The Orcs had the strongest bodies, but their intelligence was very low. The lowest orcs don't even have intelligence, and only a few can improve. Orcs have intelligence comparable to humans and demons. The absolute main force of the Orcs is the Behemoth Legion. Behemoth is more than four meters tall and has a very strong body. Low-intensity attacks are basically ineffective from the demon race and the dragon race from the human race, but in larger numbers, generally numbering around 2,500. Only the Behemoth King had the strength to compare to the four-winged fallen angels and dragon knight generals.
Even though there was constant war between the three great races, as each had the resources needed by the others, trade still took place, using the same currency, one gold coin was equal to ten silver coins, which was equal to one hundred copper coins.
Listening to the electronic voice prompts, Huo Zhanji was a little confused. I was sent to another world.
The electronic voice prompt continued: "You were born in the border city of the orcs, and the human world is three hundred miles away to the east. There are troops of orcs and humans stationed on the border. The assessment task of new students is to reach the human race and live within three days. Reward : Basic attribute points plus two, failure penalty: Countdown begins!"
Seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes, fifty-nine seconds!
After listening to the electronic voice introduction, Huo Zhanji blinked. This isn't a dream or anything.
Standing up from the ground, he first looked around.
It was completely jungle here, and there wasn't much to see around. He did not rush to act, but silently remembered the various commands from the electronic voice just now.
First of all, in this world of mad gods, there are three races, namely the human race, the demon race, and the orc race. And he was no doubt human, but now he was on the border of the orcs. There are often wars between orcs and humans. If a boy like me was discovered by an Orc army, the consequences could be imagined. But his mission is to cross the border and return to the human world within three days.
After straightening his thoughts, Huo Zhanji first tried to activate his martial spirit. There was a circle of white light flickering in his eyes, which became brighter. Soon after, two yellow circles appeared under his feet. The skin between the eyebrows squirmed, and in an instant, the vertical eye was completely squeezed. The vertical eye struggled to break free and turned into a bayberry-sized eyeball, floating in front of Huo Zhanji.
“Xiao Xie.” Seeing those small eyes, Huo Zhanji suddenly laughed. This was his soul, and it was also a gift given to him by his parents when he awakened his martial spirit when he was six years old. It was precisely with this century old soul that he was granted two soul skills.
Currently, the two century old soul rings were still there, which meant he could use two original soul skills.
Huo Zhanji's eyes flickered, and the first yellow circle surrounding his body flickered. Suddenly, his eyes became brighter and everything around him became clear. An invisible spiritual power expanded.
The first soul skill is spiritual exploration. Once released, slight fluctuations within the 100 meter diameter can be felt.
Xiao Xie's soul also became brighter, and flew to Huo Zhanji's forehead, near his eyebrows. Suddenly, Huo Zhanji's mental detection range increased another fifty meters, reaching a diameter of one hundred and fifty meters. This was an additional effect of his soul.
Mental exploration ability is an additional soul skill. But it is very useful for reconnaissance. The biggest advantage is that as the user's mental strength increases, the detection effect will continue to increase, influenced by the dual influence of mental strength and soul strength.
When Huo Zhanji had just awakened his martial soul and obtained his first soul ring, the scope of his exploration was only thirty meters in diameter. Now with Xiao Xie's help, he was able to reach 150 meters. Within this range, any interference would appear in his perception. Moreover, mental exploration consumes very little soul power, and the mental power consumption is not bad. After all, it wasn't used to attack. Relatively rare soul spirits such as the evil eye can also help the soul master recover his mental strength. With Huo Zhanji's current strength, he can maintain it for an hour without turning it off.
After giving up his mental exploration, Huo Zhanji let out a sigh of relief when he felt that there was no danger within his perception range.
Look at the sky to identify direction.
This world was too foreign to him, so he could only assume that it rose in the east and set in the west like the Douluo Star. In other words, the direction the sun rises is the direction the boundary line wants to go.
Without realizing it, it was already afternoon, the sun was starting to set in the west and was starting to set slowly. The temperature also started to fall gradually.
Huo Zhanji looked for the direction opposite to the setting sun and walked quickly.
With mental exploration, if something is found, he will be able to immediately feel it, so he releases it and uses his soul power to support his body and run, and uses his mental power to support the mental exploration.
After running for thirty minutes, it will look for a relatively safe place, such as climbing a tree and hiding its body in the tree canopy to rest. Restore previous consumption while maintaining a certain level of physical and mental strength.
In this way, two hours later, according to Huo Zhanji's own estimation, he should have traveled more than fifty miles. He had traveled through mountains and forests. Although his speed was not very fast, he was a soul master, and his body was still much stronger than ordinary people. At this time, the sky gradually became dark.
Huo Zhanji also realized an important problem. He is hungry and thirsty...
I touched his body and found nothing. Nothing at all.
What to do? His mind quickly recalled the wilderness survival course taught by his teacher when he was in junior college.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he didn't dare to delay, and started searching in the forest as he walked.
Fortunately, his martial soul was a spiritual eye and his eyesight was excellent, and he could make some difference even in a dark environment. Finally, before it became completely dark, he found some practical fruits to satisfy his hunger and thirst, and fulfill his urgent needs.
The fruit wasn't very tasty, like an apple that wasn't fully ripe. But Huo Zhanji ate it very deliciously. After two hours of traveling and exploring, his mood had now gradually lost its nervousness and become a little more excited. The brain also becomes more flexible.
There is no doubt that with my own ability, it is absolutely impossible to break through the orcs' defense line, even for new students above the armor level. That was his squad, and the most impressive thing about these new students was that they were at the level of thirty-level soul masters.
However, the academy would never provide a completely impossible task, so looking for opportunities should be the key to assessment. Even though his fighting ability wasn't great, with his spiritual eye's detective ability, the best he could do was explore! Hence, he was in no rush now. He has several innate advantages for this task.
It was completely dark, so Huo Zhanji did not take advantage of the night. Firstly, it is difficult to identify the direction, and secondly, it is even more unsafe at night. There's still plenty of time. He found a large tree and climbed it, found a place large enough to lie down among the tree canopies, and tied his waist to the thick trunk covered with vines. Then he released his soul skill again.
This time, he no longer carried out thorough mental exploration, but instead condensed the soul skill ability to sense things in one direction.
With this kind of one-way perception, with Xiao Xie's help, the detection range could be increased to 500 meters. This was the limit that his current mental strength could reach. Sitting on a tree trunk and circling around, he explored an area with a diameter of one kilometer completely.
Such long-distance exploration was relatively more expensive, but after this investigation, Huo Zhanji was confident that he would be safe for now. Sitting cross-legged on a tree trunk, he began to meditate and rest quietly, waiting for the next day to come.
