"Clang … … Clang … … Clang … …"

A deep bell rang. Fangzheng opened his eyes and looked at the sky in front of him.

"This is … …"

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but soon, Fangzheng was surprised to find that his voice had become hoarse and gloomy. Not only that, he even felt that his body was a little strange. It was not the body he was familiar with, but more like a strange shell.

What's going on?

Fangzheng shook his head and slowly stood up. It was only then that he found himself in a cemetery. And at this moment, he was wearing heavy armor, and he had a longsword and shield by his side. On the surface, 'Fangzheng' was likely a knight that had been buried in a coffin.

So that's how it is. Only his spirit entered this world? No wonder he could leave at any time ….

After stretching his body, Fangzheng finally understood the concept of a free world. It seemed that he was not using his own body here, but a body that already existed in this world. It was more like his soul had possessed someone else's body. In Fangzheng's view, this was tantamount to another "rebirth". However, compared with the rebirth in the main world, the rebirth in this world did not seem to bring him any benefits. The owner of this body did not have any inherited memories, and he did not have any items to prove his identity. The only useful things were the shield and longsword in his hand.

Is this also a game world? It can't be Diablo again, right?

Fangzheng could not help but frown as he looked at the cloudy sky above his head, just like the Diablo world. Fortunately, although this body did not provide him with any memories of the owner of this body's previous life, it still provided Fangzheng with some combat skills. And to his dismay, Fangzheng found that ….. these were really just combat skills!

Not to mention the cool sword skills in the main world, there were not even any skills in the Diablo world. All this body remembered were simple combat skills, such as stabbing, slashing, rolling and blocking …. These were all things that Fangzheng had learned from Shi Dong. If there was anything different, it would be the addition of a skill called "Rebound". This was a skill that allowed the user to deflect the enemy's attack at the moment of the enemy's attack, and then seize the opportunity to deal a fatal blow.

There were no cool skills, no unique moves, just some ordinary skills.

This is not the Diablo world. Where is this?

Fangzheng looked around curiously, then walked out of the coffin and walked along the path.

"Woo woo …."

At that moment, a skinny guy slowly got up from the ground and blocked Fangzheng's way.

Enemy? Is it a zombie? Or a living dead?

Looking at the monster in front of him, Fangzheng's expression turned solemn. He gripped his sword tightly in his right hand and slashed down without waiting for the opponent to stand up.

But what surprised Fangzheng was that the monsters in this world did not seem to be as headstrong as the ones in the Diablo world. One slash from his sword was enough to knock the opponent to the ground. No matter what this thing was, it was at least as weak as it looked.

It doesn't seem to be dangerous? What kind of combat skills can I train in a world like this?

"Whoosh!!"

Just as Fangzheng was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard a gust of wind. Fangzheng instinctively rolled forward without hesitation, only to see a burning arrow brushing past him. When Fangzheng looked up, he saw a fellow who was as skinny as before loading the bowstring of his hand crossbow not far ahead.

What the heck! These guys actually know how to use weapons?

Seeing this scene, Fangzheng was slightly taken aback. He thought the monsters here were like zombies who only knew how to attack instinctively, but they actually knew how to use weapons?

How could this be?

With that thought in mind, Fangzheng hurriedly rushed forward and slashed down with his sword again, sending the guy back to his hometown.

What a strange place ….

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Fangzheng frowned. Not only was the sky dark and gloomy, even the cold wind that blew over was icy cold. As far as the eye could see, everything in the surroundings was shrouded in darkness. It felt like the whole world was burning to ashes, giving off a rather bad feeling.

In short, he had to investigate the situation in this world first.

After that, Fangzheng walked out of the cemetery along the mountain path. On the way, he killed a few more "living dead" and came to a bonfire. Looking at the bonfire, Fangzheng seemed to remember something. He stretched out his hand towards the bonfire, and soon, Fangzheng felt a mysterious power quietly disappear from his body. Then, the bonfire in front of him burst into flames.

"…."

Looking at the orange fire, Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief. The monsters in this world did not seem to be very strong, but looking at the ruins around him and the endless dark clouds in the distance, Fangzheng had a bad feeling. It seemed that this world was not as simple as it seemed.

He continued to move forward.

After sitting by the bonfire for a few minutes, Fangzheng decided to continue exploring this world. So far, he had not met a single living person other than himself. This made Fangzheng feel a little bad. Could this be a wasteland world? Everyone else is dead except for me? It can't be as bad as "I am Legend", right?

Besides, Fangzheng did not think these slow-moving monsters were any threat to him. Although the living dead in the Diablo world were also slow, their strength and defence were terrifyingly strong. The monsters here, on the other hand, not only did they not have any defence, but they were also extremely slow. There were even a few times when Fangzheng rushed in front of them, but these monsters had yet to get up. They were no different from ordinary people.

Can I really train my combat skills in a world like this?

After walking around the mountain path and killing a monster guarding the gate, Fangzheng came to a square. The place was empty except for a huge knight wearing knight armour, who was two to three meters tall, half-squatting in the center of the square with a battle axe beside him. Fangzheng saw a black spiral sword pierce through the knight's chest from the heart …. No matter how he looked at it, he was already a dead man.

But Fangzheng did not choose to approach the knight. Based on his experience, there must be something wrong with the sudden appearance of such a thing in such a strange place. It was either a trap or a boss. In short, being careful was the right choice. Therefore, he chose to bypass the knight and continue to explore further. Hard work pays off. Behind the knight, Fangzheng found a building, but to his dismay, he could not open the wooden door no matter how hard he tried. He did not know if there was something sealing the door.

Do I really have to kill the knight?

In desperation, Fangzheng could only return to the knight's side and cautiously approach him. But to Fangzheng's surprise, the knight did not suddenly jump up as he expected, nor did any monsters jump out from the side to attack him. The knight just squatted there quietly, silently playing the role of a respectable dead man.

Do I have to pull the sword out of his chest?

After hesitating for a moment, Fangzheng decided to pull the sword out. Although his intuition told him that it was likely to trigger a "boss battle" after pulling the sword out, Fangzheng felt that those things were not a threat at all after the previous battles with those monsters, and they could not be of any use to train his sword skills. But this is a boss, so it shouldn't disappoint me.

With this in mind, Fangzheng did not hesitate to reach out and grab the spiral sword that was stuck in the knight's chest. He pulled it out.

"Gurururu …."

At the same time that Fangzheng pulled out the spiral sword, he saw the dark gelatinous substance on the knight's chest start to roll as if it had a life of its own, and then it returned to the knight's body. This sudden scene alarmed Fangzheng, but immediately following that, he saw the knight stand up, grab the battle-ax beside him, and swing it at him with all his might!

What the hell! Why is he fighting now? No matter what, I'm still your savior!

Facing this sudden attack, Fangzheng was also shocked. He hurriedly rolled on the ground and dodged the knight's battle axe. But what Fangzheng did not expect was that before he could stand up from the ground, the tall guy suddenly rushed at him and hit his body, sending Fangzheng flying. Then, the knight raised the battle axe again and slashed at Fangzheng.

Not good!!

Looking at the shining battle axe, Fangzheng was also shocked. He hurriedly raised the shield in his hand and forcibly blocked the opponent's slash at the critical moment.

"Clang!!"

The huge force hit Fangzheng's legs softened, and he almost knelt on the ground. However, the knight clearly had no intention of stopping there. After his attack was blocked, he did not hesitate to chop down with his axe again. This time, Fangzheng finally could not hold on any longer and was directly chopped to the ground. Then, he saw the knight leap up high and then fall from the sky with his axe.

"Puchi!!"

The next moment, Fangzheng only felt a sharp blade mercilessly cutting into his body. His vision suddenly turned black, and then his surroundings fell into darkness.

Then, Fangzheng only felt like he was being sucked up like a floating balloon, and then slowly falling down. When he opened his eyes again, all he saw was the burning bonfire and the worn-out sword stuck in the bonfire.

"… … …"

Staring blankly at the bonfire in front of him, Fangzheng was dumbfounded. At this moment, his mind was a mess, and he did not know what to do.

What just happened?

Where am I?
