Doomsday Great Rebels

Chapter 1
In the early morning, a huge red sun jumps up from the horizon, and the morning glow is thousands of miles away, dyeing the boundless mountains and rivers like a bloodbath.

The mountains meandered to the horizon, and on the edge of a cliff, stood a handsome boy. Half of the boy's feet were suspended in the air, and under his feet was an abyss beyond redemption.In the bitter mountain wind, the young man stood facing the wind with his hands outstretched, his clothes moved with the wind, but his body remained motionless, as if nailed to the edge.

"There's not enough money to pay taxes." The boy lowered his arms and muttered to himself.

The boy's name is Xia Mo, and he is from Qingyun Town, Heishui County, Longmen City, Anhui Province, Anhui Province, Rizhao Empire. He is 17 years old and an orphan.

When Xia Mo was seven years old, his parents went to Heishui County to sell medicinal materials, just to make more money so that Xia Mo could go to the private school in Qingyun Town.

From Qingyun Town to Heishui Town, although it is only 77 kilometers, the journey is not too far, but it is not [-]% safe, and there is also the possibility of being killed by bloodthirsty animals and plants.

Although the possibility of such a thing happening is very low, what Xia Mo was most worried about happened. After Xia Mo's parents left, there was no news from him, and Xia Mo was also lonely and helpless.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and when Xia Mo had no one to rely on, Xia Mo's master adopted him.Xia Mo's master is a man who earns his living by collecting herbs. His surname is Wang and his name is Hu. He is the No. 1 herb collector in Qingyun Town.

Master Wang Hu taught Xia Mo how to collect herbs, and the two made a living on the meager income from collecting herbs. Although their family was poor, they didn't care about it, and enjoyed it.

The last time the tax was collected, Master Wang Hu did not have enough money, but just before the deadline for paying the tax, Master Wang Hu entered the Mangyuan Forest, obtained a plant of horse chestnut, and sold one of his properties to pay himself And Xia Mo's tax money.

But what made Xia Mo feel distressed was that Master Wang Hu had come back dripping with blood and had exhausted all his strength, and if Master Wang Hu hadn't paid taxes for him, Master Wang Hu's house would not have been sold off.

Xia Mo thought about this, took out the money bag from his pocket, and poured the coins in his hands. There were only a few copper coins, which were his daily food expenses, and it was only enough to buy two steamed buns.

"This is all my money. How can I pay taxes on this amount of money? If I can't pay taxes, I will be deprived of citizenship, sold into a slave, and go to a mining area where I have almost died as a miner for a lifetime. Even if I am dead , and there is no place to bury him, his body was fed to the mutated mastiff and eaten up completely." Xia Mo thought uneasily.

"The Rizhao Empire sometimes grants amnesty to the slaves, so those who can't pay taxes are sometimes released, but I heard that Liu Jing, the son of Old Man Liu Sheng and Liu in Qingyun Town, is one of them. I was tortured to the point of dementia." Xia Mo thought.

Thinking of this, Xia Mo sighed, walked into his residence, sat on the rickety bed full of insect eyes, took a big gulp of water from a rusty cup filled with mountain spring water.

These furniture, as well as other furniture, were all obtained by Xia Mo picking up unwanted items from others.

Although it is a residence, it can only be called a cave. The cave is full of stones. Although this cave does not allow rainwater to flood in when it rains, it is still quite crude as a residence.

On the bed, spread a piece of five-color deerskin full of holes and shed hair, which Master Wang Hu obtained from hunting when he was young.It has always been used as a mattress, so as to offset the moisture in the cave, because the mutant creature five-color buckskin is positive, which can resist the severe moisture in the cave very well.

Xia Mo opened the rusty lunch box on the bedside, and took out the only colorful bird's egg from it. This bird's egg was as big as a fist, and it was the egg of a mutated creature, a sea sparrow.

Xia Mo put the sea sparrow's eggs into the boiling water pot, waited until the sea sparrow's eggs were cooked, took them out, and when they were cold, peeled off the shells and ate the eggs.

"Since we have supplemented our nutrition, then go to the wilderness forest and have a narrow escape." After eating the eggs of the mutated sea sparrow, Xia Mo felt a sense of pride in his heart, and made up his mind.

"Let's go." Xia Mo picked up the dagger and walked down the mountain.

The cave where Xia Mo lived was fifteen kilometers away from the Mangyuan Forest. Xia Mo walked towards the Mangyuan Forest with a heavy heart.

"When I was seven years old, my parents left me to sell medicinal materials in Heishui County, and they never returned. What happened to them?" Xia Mo thought in his heart.

"My parents will not abandon me easily. Maybe they died by accident, but I don't know who killed them? If one day, I meet an enemy, I will definitely draw my sword to face each other. Even if I lose, even if I die by accident, I will seek justice. , Hugh makes people look down on you." Xia Mo thought about this, and his mind had already made up his mind.

"I still remember that when I was six years old, my parents brought me a birthday cake from Heishui County in order to celebrate my birthday. Although the birthday cake was only the size of a palm, it tasted wonderful. I remember all of them." Xia Mo thought to this point, her heart was full of warmth: "And blowing out candles to make a wish!"

"Master, where did you go two years ago? Why haven't you come back yet? Mo'er needs your care. In the past two years, I have barely survived by collecting herbs. I think of the past when we roasted and ate the poultry you caught together." , although that kind of day is rarely seen once in a few months, how happy it is! But now, this kind of happy day is gone forever, how much I miss it." Xia Mo thought, with a sore nose and sad sighed.

"Father, mother, master, why did you leave me one by one? Did I do something wrong?" Xia Mo thought sadly.

At this moment, the Mangyuan cliff blocked Xia Mo's way.

"Mangyuan Cliff, for many years, I have not been able to make up my mind to conquer you, and now it is finally time to see you." Xia Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart, grabbed the thick hemp rope used for climbing, and climbed up to the top of the mountain.

"Five years ago, the elder master Tong, who collected herbs, fell to his death here; three years ago, the young man Xu Tan also fell down; two years ago, Tan Guilin, a boy who picked herbs, also died here. What kind of place is this? Only Climb up the Mangyuan cliff first, and then go down to the Mangyuan forest." Xia Mo thought to himself, and quickly climbed up.

Just about halfway through the climb, Xia Mo suddenly stepped on the moss and slipped.

"Dangerous." Xia Mo was startled, and immediately grabbed the hemp rope tightly.

Xia Mo swayed, but did not fall, but Xia Mo was startled into a cold sweat.

"Go on." Xia Mo thought in his heart.

Half an hour later, Xia Mo climbed to the top of the wild cliff.

"Wang Yuan Forest, I will finally meet you." Xia Mo felt uneasy.

Xia Mo looked at the Mangyuan Forest, and saw the whole Mangyuan Forest, covered with layers of mist, gray and ominous, covering the whole Mangyuan Forest, making it difficult for people to see clearly what was going on in the Mangyuan Forest, but making the viewers panic.

This kind of fog seems to be dead, as if it wants to take people's lives. Not only that, if you continue to stare at the fog, you will gradually develop a feeling of drowsiness, and from time to time you will feel a continuous and violent feeling in your head. Stinging, as if the soul was sucked away.

The trees that make up the Wilderness Forest all look very dry, and the gray leaves make up the main body of the Wilderness Forest, and not far away, there seem to be huge strange beasts roaring, one after another, which makes people feel palpitating.

Looking at the wild forest, Xia Mo couldn't help hesitating slightly.

"Maybe I shouldn't have entered the wilderness forest, but I have no way out." Xia Mo thought about this, and walked towards the gathering place of the wilderness cliffs.

This gathering place is the only way to go down to the Mangyuan Forest. Many merchants gather here to purchase and process the animals and plants obtained from the Mangyuan Forest by the herb pickers in Qingyun Town on the spot to ensure the freshness of the raw materials.

"Hey, Xiao Xia is here, what's the matter? Don't you have enough tax money?" An obscene elderly man sat on a chair with his legs crossed, and when he saw Xia Mo coming, he showed an obscene smile.

"Li San, you are going to make a fortune for the country again." Xia Mo said coldly.

Xia Mo knew very well the details of this man named Li San, he was the tax commissioner of Qingyun Town, and together with his younger brother Li Si, he was in charge of Qingyun Town's tax affairs.

According to the regulations of the Rizhao Empire, all tax commissioners can withhold [-]% of the tax collected as a commission.

And this Li San, relying on his hard-core crops, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, cheating, cheating, and stealing, did all kinds of evil, not only playing with women, but also being a man.

"Xiao Xia, it seems that you don't have money to pay taxes, why don't you stay with me, and I will pay the taxes for you, how do you think?" Li San showed an obscene smile again.

"You want to die?" Xia Mo snapped.

"Yo, it's getting fierce, okay, okay, let me see how you pass this level." Li San changed his face and said through gritted teeth.

"What if I pay taxes?" Xia Mo said coldly.

"If you pass this level, let me see, oh, you have to pay [-] imperial gold coins, let me see what you can do?" Li San said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take a gamble with you." Xia Mo said.

"I'm here to be a witness." Suddenly, a hearty male voice came from behind Xia Mo.

"Wu Feng, it's you." Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Mo couldn't help turning her head excitedly.

"It's me, Xia Mo." The man called Wu Feng looked at Xia Mo and said with a smile.

I saw this man, about 25 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wide ears and square nose, sharp-edged features and full of masculinity.

He is about 1.8 meters five, his muscles are full and strong, like a soldier, and he is shaved.

"Wu Feng, you, the head of the extreme martial arts gym in Qingyun Town, are here to spoil my good deeds again. You know, I usually let you three points, but now the tax police are coming, and the captain of the tax police brigade Li If it's not from my family, I'm not afraid of you." Li San said gloomyly, looking at Wu Feng with hatred.

"I'll make a bet with you, if I don't make up fifty imperial gold coins, I'll pay you fifty gold coins." Xia Mo said.

"You have fifty gold coins?" Li San smiled coldly.

"I'll help you pay." Wu Feng looked at Li San and said contemptuously.

"Alright." Li San said gloomyly.

"If I have collected fifty imperial gold coins, you will pay me five hundred gold coins, plus a penalty of ten. Are you not convinced?" Xia Mo shouted.

"If you think I'm afraid of you, a brat who smells like milk, I'll bet on you." Li San said gloomyly.
