Pain. His whole body was in pain. Zhang Hao woke up from his dizziness and straightened his body by supporting himself with the tree trunk beside him. He lowered his head to take a closer look and cried out in pain. His clothes were completely gone and his body was covered in scratches, but they had all formed scars. No wonder it was so painful. He took a deep breath and looked around. There were trees all around him. Every seven meters or so, there was a big tree that even three strong men might not be able to hug. The lush round leaves on the trunk blocked the sky, and no light could penetrate through. There was a thick layer of dead leaves on the ground. He stepped on it and estimated that it was half a meter thick.
A dense forest like this should have been pitch black, and one should not be able to see anything beyond the length of a hand. However, there was a hole in the leaf directly above Zhang Hao, and it vaguely looked like a human figure. The sunlight shone through it, and the surrounding 30 meters could be clearly seen. Zhang Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. That wound was most likely caused by himself. He was still alive because he had practiced martial arts since he was young. Of course, it also had a lot to do with the thick layer of fallen leaves.
It was too outrageous to be naked. First, he had to find something to cover his body. Looking around, there were only tree trunks, branches, and leaves. The tree here was quite tall. Its round trunk grew to seven or eight meters tall. Then, it suddenly split open and spread out its branches. The leaves piled up and the branches stacked up, forming a thick layer of leaf walls above. It seemed that he could only use the leaves to cover up his ugliness first. Fortunately, the leaves were big enough, so he could make do with them after dealing with them.
Zhang Hao thought about it for a moment. If he used Cloud Ladder to jump, it would be at most three meters. That would require him to borrow three times from the tree trunk. With his current internal strength, he could barely do it. Zhang Hao took a deep breath and raised his Qi to jump up. Just as his feet left the ground, he realized that something was wrong. His speed of rising was actually twice as fast as before. In a split second, he had already jumped to a height of about six meters, but he was still rising rapidly. He was shocked and immediately focused his Qi into his dantian. He pressed his body down and used the Thousand Jin Drop skill to force his body to descend. As soon as he landed on the ground, his Qi and blood surged. He quickly sat down and used his Qi to suppress the surging Qi and blood.
After a while, Zhang Jie stood up, puzzled. Her Taiji True Qi was still at the third level, and she could only circulate it through the small circulation and the Conception Vessel. Logically speaking, only when one reached the fourth level and circulated the Qi through the Ren and Du meridians could one jump more than seven meters. Zhang Hao decided to try again to see how high he could jump.
Walking to the bottom of the human-shaped hole that he had 'smashed' through, Zhang Hao took a deep breath and circulated his internal strength. He used Cloud Ladder and leaped with all his strength. In the blink of an eye, he passed through the leaf wall hole and rose above the forest. Then, he gently landed on the leaf wall and stood there. Zhang Hao estimated that this jump was about 12 meters. Although he did not understand why his lightness skill had suddenly become so good, he could not help but be surprised and happy. It took him a while to calm down.
The forest was so big that it stretched into the sky. There were many colorful and strange birds flying in the sky. Zhang Hao was moved. The tropical forests near the equator in Africa were indeed well-deserved. The area they covered was ridiculously large, and the variety of animals was terrifying. Unlike in China, where there were no decent forests anymore. A gust of hot wind blew over, but Zhang Hao felt a chill down his lower body. Only then did he remember that he was still naked. Bending down, he touched the root of the leaf and pulled it hard. The leaf was actually fine and did not move. He sighed. What a tough leaf technique. He used ten percent of his internal strength, but the leaf still couldn't be pulled off. Zhang Hao was secretly amazed. It wasn't until he used forty percent of his internal strength that the leaf was pulled off.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but click his tongue. He could bend a steel rod as thick as a bowl with 40% of his internal strength, but now he could only tear off a leaf branch the size of a pinky finger. If it was a branch or a trunk, how much strength would it take to break it? Moreover, if he made this branch into a sword, wouldn't it be better than an iron sword or a steel knife?
Even though he was thinking about it, he didn't dare to use all his strength to break the branch. Although the leaf wall was thick, it definitely couldn't bear the weight of an adult man. If he used up all his inner energy, he wouldn't be able to use Cloud Ladder Lightness Skill to stand on the top of the tree.
Zhang Hao tore off a few leaves, pulled a rattan, and strung the leaves around his belt. The most important task now was to leave the forest and find the city. Using the sun in the sky as a guide, he pointed towards the east. Just as he was about to use his qinggong to leave, he suddenly realized that the sun was much bigger than before. Could it be that looking at the sun near the equator had such an effect? Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment. He then used the Cloud Ladder to head east and hopped over the top of the tree. His speed was actually faster than a bird.
After jumping on the tree for nearly two hours, Zhang Hao finally saw the periphery of the forest. What made him even happier was that he found a lake, the blue reflecting the dazzling sunlight. After jumping for so long, he was already tired and thirsty. He hopped to the grass by the lake. The water was clear and transparent, and the water quality seemed to be quite good. Zhang Hao drank a few mouthfuls of water with his hands and splashed the water on his body. He immediately felt a chill and his fatigue was mostly gone. Just as he was about to drink a few more mouthfuls, he was shocked to find that the person reflected in the water had green eyes and green hair. Obviously, that person was him.
Zhang Hao pinched his face hard. It hurt. There was a red mark on his face. It wasn't a dream. Could it be that he had reincarnated? No, his face and hair shape had not changed. He touched his back and found that the birthmark was still there. What was going on? What happened to him? Zhang Hao sat on the grass by the lake in a daze. She kept thinking in her heart, Why didn't the plane blow herself up when it exploded? Even if it didn't blow herself up, she would have fallen to her death from such a high altitude. Now, she was neither human nor ghost.
In a trance, the sound of falling leaves being stirred came from the forest behind him. The sound was very rapid, like a few sticks constantly hitting the fallen leaves. It was said that there were many strange beasts in the forests near the equator of Africa.
The sound was getting closer and closer. Zhang Hao became alert. He picked up a stone from the lakeside and held it in his hand. He stared at the sound source and was on guard. Unfortunately, the forest was too dark to see anything. Just as he was hesitating whether to ask the forest, a fire lit up in the forest. Zhang Hao heaved a sigh of relief. Since he could use fire, he was definitely not a wild beast. Zhang Hao took two steps forward and tried to communicate in English, but he realized that the fireball was getting bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, it was as big as a football. Just as he was feeling strange, the fireball shot towards Zhang Hao with a whoosh.
Zhang Hao was shocked. He pushed his feet and dodged to the side, barely avoiding the fireball that was coming at him. At the same time, he used the sixth layer of his internal energy and threw the stone in his hand towards the fireball. A scream was heard in the forest. The fireball exploded 40 feet behind him at the same time, and the turbulent air wave pushed Zhang Hao forward.
His heart was beating like a drum, and a sharp squeaking sound came from the forest, making Zhang Hao's scalp tingle. What was that thing in the forest? Curiosity made him want to go in and take a look, but the forest was dark, like the mouth of a monster. The fear of the unknown prevailed. Zhang Hao pondered for a while and jumped onto the top of the tree. He ignored the voice and rushed toward the periphery of the forest.
There were only a few hundred feet left before they could leave the forest. In front of them was a plain that could be seen at a glance. They could even see the sheep intestines on the road. There were obvious tire marks on the road. Zhang Hao calmed down and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This forest was too strange.
He jumped onto the grass on the plain and ran along the path, trying to get as far away from the forest as possible. After a while, Zhang Hao looked around. The grass on the plain was not tall, but it was lush and green. After confirming that there were no carnivorous animals in the surroundings other than the birds in the sky, he sat down quietly and circulated his qi to regulate his breathing. Even so, he did not dare to really enter a state of stillness. He retained some consciousness and listened to the movements nearby.
About 20 minutes later, Zhang Hao vaguely heard the sound of people nearby and jumped up happily. In the distance ahead, he could clearly see two black shadows, one in the shape of a human and the other in the shape of a horse. Finally, he saw people. Zhang Hao was touched and rushed toward the man and horse excitedly.
When he got closer, Zhang Hao gasped. It was not a horse, but a giant spider the size of an armored car. Its six claws were covered with green fur and were thicker than Zhang Hao's thighs. There were four fangs in its mouth that looked like Arabian scimitars. That person was also human, but he had green hair and green eyes. He was wearing a strange black one-piece dress and had an aged face. From his appearance, he seemed to be over 60 years old, but his body was still quite strong. He held a long spear in his hand. The tip of the spear was translucent, like a green agate.
The man and the monster faced each other from left to right. The spider seemed to be quite wary of the green spear tip and did not dare to approach. It let out a threatening squeak from its mouth. Zhang Hao was stunned. Wasn't this the strange sound he heard in the forest? The old man also noticed Zhang Hao and was stunned. He immediately waved his hand at Zhang Hao in an unknown language while shouting loudly. An anxious expression appeared on his face.
Although Zhang Hao didn't understand what he said, he could tell that he was asking him to escape. Zhang Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. He also wanted to escape, but he couldn't abandon others. Thinking of how he used stones to repel the enemy in the forest, Zhang Hao bent down and groped in the grass. This plain was made of soil. Although there were stones, they were very few. Zhang Hao searched for a while but could not find a single one.
Seeing that Zhang Hao was still not leaving, the old man became anxious. This time, he shouted at Zhang Hao. It was obvious that he was angry. The veins on his neck popped out, but Zhang Hao deliberately turned a deaf ear. The old man saw that Zhang Hao was still unwilling to leave. For some reason, he raised his spear and stabbed it at the spider's head. The spider was shocked and quickly retreated to avoid the spear. Its speed was so fast that it made people think it was strange.
After being attacked by the old man, the spider seemed to be furious. It took a few steps back and opened its mouth at the old man. The old man was stunned. Zhang Hao clearly saw a fireball in the spider's mouth, and the fireball was getting bigger and bigger. Zhang Hao couldn't care less about finding stones, and he used all his strength to shoot at the spider with the Cloud Ladder.
It took only three steps to cover the distance of nearly twenty meters. Zhang Hao himself felt strange. When did my speed become so fast? The fine hairs on the spider's claws could be seen. Zhang Hao used 100% of his internal strength to lift his right leg and swept it horizontally. The spider's middle claw shattered like tofu. He then turned around and kicked with his left foot, landing squarely on the front half of the spider's torso. The spider was kicked up into the air and flew six to seven meters away before falling to the ground and rolling for another four to five meters. Its five claws twitched for a while before it stopped breathing.
Zhang Hao sat down on the grass, breathing heavily. He felt his legs go soft, and his hands kept trembling. The old man sat down on the ground and stared at Zhang Hao in surprise. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Hao's upper body was chiluo and his lower body was covered with leaves.
After a while, Zhang Hao caught his breath and greeted the old man in English. The old man shook his head, indicating that he did not understand. Then, he mumbled something to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao could only shake his head to indicate that he did not understand.
Zhang Hao was feeling depressed when he saw the old man waving at him, then pointing to himself and then to the front. He immediately understood that the old man wanted him to walk with him. Perhaps there was a town or city ahead. Zhang Hao quickly nodded in agreement. When the old man saw this, he revealed a gratified smile. He picked up the spear, walked to a cart, threw the spear on it, and pushed it away.
Only then did Zhang Hao realize that there was a cart nearby. The cart was very large and filled with two meters long, as thick as a wrist, and bare branches. It must have weighed more than a hundred pounds. Zhang Hao came forward and gestured to help. The old man didn't know if he understood, but he kept shaking his head. Zhang Hao had no choice but to follow the old man in the direction the old man pointed out.
