C3 Simple
The girl's body trembled for a bit, but she really didn't struggle anymore. It was just that when she made contact with Li Mu's naked upper body, the girl felt a very strange feeling. Listening to Li Mu's powerful heartbeat and feeling his scorching temperature, the girl's face flushed red and stopped crying. Feeling the girl's strangeness, Li Mu gradually relaxed her hands, giving the girl more space.
The two of them maintained this ambiguous posture. After a while, the girl quickly used her hands to push Li Mu away and lowered her head. Her long bangs covered her bright eyes and her red face looked like she wanted to take a bite out of it. She clutched the staff with both hands, as if thinking of something.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Mu asked softly. "Actually, he was quite puzzled as well. He was doing pretty well just a moment ago, why did he suddenly change his attitude so much?" "It's fine, it's none of your business!" The girl said coldly. Li Mu stepped forward and embraced her once more. This time, the girl didn't struggle.
"If you have something to tell me, then tell me. It's okay, it'll be better if you say it." Although Li Mu had no special abilities and was completely useless, he was quite knowledgeable when it came to coaxing children. This was because his family lived in an orphanage. If he had something to do, he would always go over to help. Thus, when she saw a child crying, Li Mu could guess that he was still thinking about his father and mother.
According to Li Mu's many years of experience, this girl should be thinking about her parents. He had seen this situation many times in the orphanage, so he had a good way to deal with it. Although this girl was a bit old, she was still a child. Li Mu could tell from her words and actions that she wasn't deep into the world and was very simple.
First, he had to hold her in his arms and let her feel her warmth. Then, he had to listen to what she had to say so that she could completely tell him everything that had happened in her heart. Then he gave her a hope, a hope that, if it made it small, at least left a little hope in her heart. When there's no hope, it's pathetic and terrible. "I think of my parents." The girl sobbed again, her nose opening and closing with a rhythmic intake of breath. Li Mu carried the girl in his arms and walked to the bottom of an unburned tree. Li Mu sat on the ground with the girl nestled in his embrace. The two of them chatted as they talked.
During the conversation, Li Mu didn't conceal his background. At the same time, he obtained the situation of the girl's family and the general situation of the world.
According to the girl, this world was called Forgotten Continent, with only one piece of land surrounded by an endless sea. The continent was divided into four major parts.
The north was a desolate and barren plain, a land of ice sealed for thousands of miles, inhabited mainly by various Beastmen. There weren't many beastmen, about a hundred million. Ordinary orcs live by grazing and hunting. In the dead of the year, the Beastman Empire would send their armies south to the human countries to fight for them. Every time this happened, the entire continent would turn to the north. This was the continent's famous "Beastman War".
In a war, the Beastmen would always pay a heavy price to obtain enough food to survive the famine. Only by paying ten times the price of the beastmen's casualties would humans be able to bring the Beastmen home. The outcome was the same every time, as if there was a mysterious hand manipulating it. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, the beastmen and human beings had changed hands countless times. However, the Beastmen had never entered the human kingdom.
Currently, the Beastman Empire's royal family was the Snow Wolf tribe. This was an unprecedented event. The Snow Wolf couldn't be considered a powerful race. Compared to the Lions and Tigers, these veteran powerful races, it was still rather weak. However, hundreds of years ago, the Snow Wolf suddenly hooked up with the Beast God Hall, gaining the support of all the Shamans and Priests, allowing it to regroup in the north.
The Beastmen army occupied the north with powerful beastmasters and mysterious shamans, eyeing the human world and waiting for the right moment to head south.
On the east side of the continent was a continuous mountain range, and on the coast, there was a slender plain. This was the most prosperous place on the continent, the coastal plain. All the goods on the continent were gathered here, and they were all facing the East Sea, the safest place in the world. The seafood, pearls and corals caught in the sea were transported to the northern and southern regions of the continent, as well as to the distant western regions through the Rhine and Duo Nao rivers.
There were dozens of Empires here, of which the Redleaf Empire was the ruler. The Redleaf Empire occupied sixty percent of the eastern region and ninety percent of the coastal plains. Most of the citizens of the Redleaf Empire focused on learning the sword. As for the border between the eastern and northern regions, there was the largest magical beast colony on the continent, Nightmare Forest. Nightmare Forest was filled with a large number of magical beasts, so much so that the Beastmen could only go around the seaside to the south and the east.
The Land of Emptiness was located in the middle of the continent. It cut off the connection between the east and the south. It was the most mysterious and terrifying place on the continent. Although the Nightmare Forest was terrifying, it still had trees and magical beasts. Meanwhile, the void was deathly still, devoid of any signs of life.
There was not a single living thing in the void, only the gray of the land and the gray of the sky. This was a forbidden area for the experts of all continents. There was not a single strand of spiritual energy here, and the air was filled with an aura of despair and destruction. No one could stay inside for three days. As time passed, the aura of despair would invade one's soul and eventually cause one to commit suicide.
It was said that this was the place where the gods lived.
The western part of the continent was an open plain, but the sea area was occupied by the Sea Tribes. The people of the Western Regions were not allowed to go out to sea. The Sellon Empire was the strongest country in the Western Regions, and Sellon's Heavy Armor Cavalry had always been the most difficult obstacle for the Beastmen to overcome. And a magical beast warrior was the dream of Sellon's youth.
As the south was too far away from the Beastmen of the north, it had always been in a relatively safe environment. However, the Southern region didn't have a single powerful empire. There were over a thousand countries and forces, and not a single one of them could unify the Southern region. The reason for this was very complicated, and the intervention of Sellon and Red Leaf was also an important factor.
In addition to the humans in the Southern Domain, there were also a large number of Outsiders. Because of their presence, the Southern Domain was even more complicated.
There was something called spiritual energy on the Forgotten Continent. People used all sorts of methods to absorb spiritual energy into their bodies and change their bodies. This was the most basic method of cultivation.
Some people used their spirit energy to strengthen their physical body and stimulate the human body's potential. This was a fighter.
There were also people who would channel their spiritual energy into their minds, strengthening their senses, and then control the spiritual energy of the world to fight. This was what mages were.
Magical beasts could train as well, but it was a bit too slow.
People could sign contracts with magical beasts, become partners, cultivate together, and fight together. This was the beast tamer. However, humans had a hard time gaining the trust of magical beasts and signing a contract with them. The orcs, on the other hand, were easier to deal with. Therefore, among the beastmen, there were more beast tamers than the human beast tamers. Moreover, beast tamers had a large number of magical beasts, so a human could only sign two or three.
According to the size of the spiritual force, people divided cultivation into seven realms. "Peeping Spirit", "Path", "Convergence", "Condensation", "Wind Controlling", "Ling Xu", and "Sky Shattering". Among them, the "Sky Shattering" was the legendary Divine level.
Each stage was divided into three stages: the front, middle, and back. Each stage was double the strength. The difference between each stage was ten times.
On a mountain peak in the Forgotten Continent. The fog was so thick that one could not see anyone from two meters away. There were also people on this mountain. A young man and woman were sitting back to back on a big rock, quietly looking at the fog in front of them. They seemed to be thinking about something, but at the same time, they were just daydreaming.
An unknown amount of time passed. It felt like ten thousand years, but it also felt like an instant.
Finally, the young woman broke the silence. "The man woke up. Just a few days ago, I put him down next to those poor people." Do we need to take him away? " A deep male voice sounded. The sound did not come from behind the woman, but from the thick fog in front of her. A tall man walked out from the white mist in front of the woman. The mist covered the tall man's face, making it impossible to see his facial features.
"Leave him behind, it's safer here." The mysterious man behind the woman finally spoke. The woman lightly nodded her head in agreement.
"We will be leaving very soon. When the time comes, this continent will be in chaos. What if he gets injured?" "Yes." The tall man said worriedly. I left the little dragon with those pitiful people. "The young woman stood up gently and looked into the distance," I think only he can wake the little dragon. He is much stronger than us.
"Let's go, the three of us, the abandoned dragons, can finally go look for them." It's a pity he woke up late, otherwise the four of us would have been able to leave together. " The mysterious man stood up and instantly disappeared into the air. The other two people also disappeared at the same time. The mist gradually dissipated and the top of the mountain returned to its previous tranquility, as if nothing had happened.
