"Roar …!" A deep roar came from behind. The skeletal lizard was very fast. It had strong and thick hind legs, so when it ran, its speed was astonishing.
Lin Feng ran all the way. He wanted to take out a magic treasure to attack the skeletal lizard, but in the end, he failed.
In this world, he couldn't use magic power, and even his divine sense couldn't be used.
Lin Feng was now a powerful cultivator.
He had become an ordinary person.
"What kind of damned world is this?"
Lin Feng couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
He increased his speed.
But now Lin Feng was tired and hungry, so he couldn't increase his speed.
The skeletal lizard was gradually closing the distance between it and Lin Feng.
Lin Feng saw a low mountain in front of him that was three to four hundred meters high.
He quickly ran up, lifted a huge rock on the mountain, and threw it at the skeletal lizard that was chasing after him.
"Bang!"
The rock hit the skeletal lizard's body hard.
But the skeletal lizard's body was too strong, so it didn't cause much damage to it.
Instead, it angered the skeletal lizard.
The skeletal lizard's thick limbs suddenly kicked the ground, and its huge body jumped up.
It directly jumped to the top of the mountain.
"You jump up, I'll jump down."
Lin Feng hastily jumped down from the top of the mountain and flew away.
He ran for an entire night.
When the sky gradually brightened, the skeletal lizard let out an unwilling roar and finally drilled into the ground and disappeared.
The skeletal lizard didn't seem to like to appear during the day.
Seeing the skeletal lizard leave, Lin Feng was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He felt as if the strength in his body had been completely sucked out. He directly fell to the ground and lay on his back, panting violently.
Tired! Lin Feng had never felt so tired.
"This world's suppression of magic power is too strong. I need to find a way to use magic power. Without magic power, it's difficult to move."
Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh.
He tried to circulate the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Art, but unfortunately, in this world, even the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Art was not effective.
This made Lin Feng quite depressed.
"Let's go find some food and water first …"
Lin Feng was now thirsty and hungry. His entire body was weak, and he needed food and water to replenish his strength.
He got up and walked towards the forest.
But what made Lin Feng very disappointed was that he couldn't find any water source, nor could he find any food to satisfy his hunger. He didn't even have any wild fruits. The vegetation that grew in the mountain forest were all man-eating flowers, poisonous camphor trees, and so on. He needed to be careful, otherwise it was very likely that he would be poisoned or be attacked by man-eating flowers.
Lin Feng also didn't find any traces of wild beasts. He couldn't even hunt a wild beast for food.
"How can there be no birds or beasts in such a large forest? How strange. " Lin Feng said speechlessly.
He guessed that the birds and beasts might have been frightened by the skeletal lizard yesterday and fled the area.
Or perhaps, birds and beasts were extremely rare in this world.
Most of the beasts that appeared in the forest were poisonous and vicious by nature. Lin Feng was more inclined to the latter conjecture.
He walked for a long time, but he still didn't find any food or water.
Lin Feng was extremely exhausted and was lying down on a rock to rest.
… …
At noon, a group of people carrying bamboo baskets came out. They weren't very old. The older ones looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, while the younger ones looked to be about eleven or twelve years old.
They carefully observed their surroundings, as if they were looking for something.
"Brother, I found a piece of Fire Vein Stone!" A boy who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old found a stone in a pile of rocks.
The stone was dark brown, but there were some fiery red spots on it.
The fiery red was a very low-grade ore that could be refined into Fire Vein Iron.
Of course, to refine enough Fire Vein Iron to forge a weapon, one would need to pile up a mountain of Fire Vein Stones.
A seventeen or eighteen year old boy ran over. He seemed to be very excited. He praised his younger brother a few times and then put the Fire Vein Stone in the bamboo basket.
"Sister, I also found a piece of Fire Vein Stone!" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy shouted in surprise.
He also found a fist-sized Fire Vein Stone in a pile of rocks. The boy quickly ran over to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
The boy was very handsome, but because of long-term malnutrition, his body was thin.
The boy's sister looked more delicate. She looked sixty to seventy percent like the boy. Her face was pure and lovely.
"Xiao Shen, good job!" The girl lovingly rubbed her brother's head.
The girl's name was Song Ying 'er. She was seventeen years old. The boy's name was Song Xiao Shen. He was thirteen years old.
The siblings were villagers in a nearby mountain village.
At night, they would hide in a cave with the other villagers. During the day, they would come out to look for Fire Vein Stones.
This was because Fire Vein Stones could be exchanged for food. Although most of the time, the Fire Vein Stones they found might not be enough to exchange for a piece of taro, this was the only way for them to survive.
It was difficult to survive in this world. Most of the boys and girls who came out to look for Fire Vein Stones were orphans.
If they wanted to survive, they could only rely on themselves.
Being able to survive was the wish of many people.
As for being full … Many people did not even dare to dream of it.
This group of people continued to look for Fire Vein Stones in the forest.
"Brother, I'm hungry." A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy looked at his elder brother.
In fact, his elder brother was not very old. He was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
The elder brother carefully took out a fist-sized piece of taro, broke off a small piece, and handed it to his younger brother.
The younger brother wolfed it down.
The 'elder brother' swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He could not bear to eat it, so he put the rest of the taro in his arms.
In this world, food was life.
Unless they were very hungry, they would not be willing to eat it.
"Xiao Shen, you're hungry too, right? You should have a bite too. " Ying 'er also took out a piece of taro wrapped in coarse cloth from her arms.
The taro was already dry.
She broke off a small piece and handed it to her younger brother.
"Sister … I'm not hungry at all. You should eat it." Xiao Shen was very sensible. He also felt sorry for his sister. He knew that his sister had not eaten for two days, so he tried to persuade her.
"Sister is not hungry. You should eat it quickly." Ying 'er said with a smile.
Xiao Shen took the piece of taro in his hand. It was a piece that could be eaten in one bite, so he broke it in half and handed half to his sister. He said, "Sister, let's split it in half."
Although Ying 'er was also very hungry, she wanted her younger brother to eat all of it.
She did everything she could to take good care of her younger brother.
"Sister is not hungry. You should eat it quickly." Ying 'er said.
"If sister doesn't eat it, I won't eat it either." Xiao Shen said.
Although he was very young, he was very sensible. This made Ying 'er feel very gratified.
She took the piece of taro that Xiao Shen handed to her and ate it.
Xiao Shen smiled and wolfed down the small piece of taro.
Four hours later, they had traveled more than five kilometers, but they had only found a dozen pieces of fire-patterned ore. It was not even enough to exchange for a piece of taro. The siblings could not help but sigh. There were very few fire-patterned ores in this forest, but they did not dare to go further to search.
This forest was relatively safe because there were only occasional lunar beasts roaming about.
However, if they left this forest, they would easily encounter lunar beasts that came out to hunt for food. If that happened, they would die miserably.
The sky gradually darkened.
The siblings were about to return with the rest of the group.
At this moment, Xiao Shen pointed at a rock in the distance and said, "Sister, do you see a person lying on that rock?"
