Taming of the Beast

On the world map, the only vague place without any markings or descriptions is the Monster Beast Continent.

Among the mountains and mountains, the ancient forest that is inaccessible is the entrance.

In ancient times, this place was known as the land of death, because there lived monsters that could eat people.They warned their children and grandchildren that that land must not be set foot, and passed down from generation to generation until the times changed.

Humans migrated, they moved out of the mountains and came to the plains to build tall buildings.Some people's society is more civilized, and the ancient sites in the mountains are forgotten by later generations, including those warnings and the legends of the monsters and beasts.

In an unknown year, the unknown land on the map attracted the attention of the relevant departments. They sent a team to investigate in depth, but...

No matter how many people went in and how advanced the equipment they carried, they all disappeared without a trace in the end.This place quickly attracted the attention of the world, and a wave of exploration was set off for a while. People from home and abroad gathered here, and everyone was gearing up to show their talents, but their results were the same as those of the national survey teams, and none returned.

At this time, the top leaders of the country realized the seriousness of the situation and sent a search and rescue team with top-notch equipment.The media and the public gathered outside the forest, hoping that the search and rescue team would bring back clues, but they did not come back.

Later, someone thought of a way to tie the iron chain around the waist of the search and rescue team, and enter one every few minutes, so that even if the first person who enters encounters danger, he can quickly communicate to the people behind, and so on, there will always be one person Tell them what's really going on inside.After doing it according to the method, what they waited for was not the answer, but the iron chain that would never stop.

For a while there were different opinions, some said it was haunted, some said it was inhabited by terrible monsters, and some said it was a labyrinth. In fact, none of those people died, they just kept going around in circles in the forest.

These speculations are nothing more than adding a more terrifying color of death to that mysterious land.

From the eagerness to try at the beginning to the fear at the end, they didn't dare to stay any longer, and even lost the courage to recall, as long as they thought about it, they would feel the wind blowing, so they fled and stayed away from here as much as possible.

The country's troops were the last to go. They put up a striking sign outside the forest with a blood-red slogan on it:

[No entry, dangerous here], and a big skull was drawn behind it as a warning.

Now, the brand is rusty and overturned, and it has long since lost its function.But even if not, no one wants to use their lives to test whether the inside is still scary.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, he was one step closer to Cang Kui.

In unmanaged places, weeds are overgrown and roads are impossible.After looking for a long time, Mo Chen couldn't find the footing, so he just gritted his teeth and waded through the grass that was almost up to his waist.I really regret wearing shorts. The grass is like a knife, and it hurts my legs.He should get a stick before coming in. I don't know if there are snakes in the grass, so he can't make a mistake.

It was his usual practice to distract himself with random thoughts.

You can't make yourself too embarrassed, or you will be laughed at after seeing Cang Kui, saying that he can't do anything without him, including taking care of himself.

Suddenly stopped, looked up at the blue sky and smiled helplessly, in fact he wanted to admit it, wanted to tell Cang Kui, I can't do anything without you...

If only he could run like Cang Kui, I really want to see him right away and throw myself into his arms.

The pain was a little numb, and when Mo Chen walked to the open space, he found that his arms and legs were covered with red marks, scratched by grass.

He should bring some first aid medicine. There are only a few clothes and a little food in his schoolbag. Looking at the unknown road ahead, Mo Chen sighed a long time. He wondered if he would encounter Cang Kui who turned back halfway through the journey. .

……

The situation in the forest is much different from what I imagined. I thought I would see many monsters, but there seemed to be no other creatures here except myself.

It's good to be bored walking in the woods. If there is no danger, the danger will be reduced. It's best that the journey is so smooth.

Holding the map given by Yi Xiao, he walked and studied carefully. The forest is not big, and he will soon reach the end. The next step is to focus on mountain roads, and remember the route well. Mo Chen is planning how to spend the night.He seemed to have forgotten a lot of things when he left in a hurry. There was no fire, no bedding, and after eating what he brought, it was another problem to feed himself.Now that this journey is bound to be difficult, he can only rely on himself, and he doesn't want to give up halfway.

Walking out of the forest, as drawn on the map, there are continuous mountains.It doesn't matter if there are mountains, just find a cave at night.As for food, he should not starve to death after living on the mountain for so long.Putting his hands between his brows, Mo Chen made a gaze, Kui, just wait, I'll find you right away, and then I'll fix your hair and leave without saying goodbye.

……

Did you hear me wrong?Why does it feel like someone is shouting.

Stop, listen, and look at the same mountain, tired of auditory hallucinations?How could someone call him in the barren mountains.

Let's find a place to rest. I haven't eaten since I was exhausted, and the time to meet will be delayed. He must ensure that he will not get sick before meeting Cang Kui and keep himself in the best condition.

Sitting in the shade, Mo Chen took out the mineral water and took a sip. He was tired and hot on the road in summer, and his stomach was so full that he didn't feel hungry at all. Mo Chen was hesitating whether to eat or not. At this moment, the voice sounded again ——

'Come... come here... come here... come here...'

It's not an auditory hallucination, someone is really shouting!Jumping up, Mo Chen returned to the road just now and looked around, pricking up his ears to catch the direction of the sound carefully.However, the cry came and went, and it took a while to be sure.

'Come here... come here... come here... come here...'

Who is shouting?Looking in a certain direction suspiciously, he decided to find out.

Ten minutes later, Mo Chen stopped in front of a bare mountain.This place is different from the adjacent mountains, there is no whole green cover, only a few wilted trees grow on it, dying and struggling.There is a cave on the mountainside, and there is no grass growing nearby, and the yellow sand and stones exude a strange atmosphere.

Looking around, this mountain seems to have some incurable disease.

Presumably, the voice came from here.Not suspicious of fraud, Mo Chen crawled towards the cave.The seemingly loose loess is surprisingly strong, like a concrete floor, and it is easy to come to the entrance of the cave.

Why do you feel familiar?

The moment he stepped into the dark cave, the blood in his body seemed to be flowing backwards rapidly, and the word still appeared in Mo Chen's mind: escape.

This is the same feeling as last summer before the cave, where Cang Kui was sealed.

He only opened the jar when he heard Cang Kui's cry for help. This time, who lured him here?Familiar feeling, so familiar that I want to cry.If it was said that entering the cave was involuntary last time, then this time it was Mo Chen's own choice.

He wanted to see who exuded an aura similar to Cang Kui, and who disturbed his mind in just a short moment.

It took a while for the eyes to adjust to the darkness here, and before that, the man spoke again——

"Come here." The voice seemed erratic and vague in the open field, but right now, it was very clear, a cold voice without any emotion, belonging to a man.

He ordered him.

Still unable to see, he could only feel his way in, when Mo Chen thought there was nothing inside, he saw a person, a person who melted into the darkness.Scholarly Mendi Forum

Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he was right, it was a person, a person kneeling on the ground.

The man could not raise his head because a huge boulder protruded from his head and was pressed against his neck.An iron chain was wrapped around the arm, and the end of the iron chain hung against the stone in different directions.I don't know how long he has been kneeling here, the ground under his legs has already worn out a big hole, and the chains are so tight that he can't even turn his head.

A humble kneeling position.

His clothes are black, and his hair, which is several times longer than Cang Kui's, is also black.That hair hasn't been trimmed for some time, like an exaggerated cloak, not only covering his face, but also enveloping his entire body, coiled to the ground.

Black, all black, if it wasn't for the subtle blue light from his hair, Mo Chen would have bumped into him.

What mistake did he make?To be imprisoned here is still such a cruel way.

How long has he been locked up here, judging from the growth of his hair, decades or even more than a hundred years?

The figure of the man overlapped with Cang Kui, and for a moment Mo Chen couldn't distinguish between reality and memory, and he didn't know whether it was Cang Kui or a stranger in front of him...

All he knew was that he was waiting for his rescue and his freedom.

There is mist in front of his eyes, why give him such an imaginary experience?Why is everything so similar to when Cang Kui first met?

"come over."

When Mo Chen was confused, the man ordered again, his tone still cold.
