It was late at night, midsummer was hot and dry, and cicadas were chirping sadly.
The cold moonlight illuminated half of Cloud Flow's young face. He leaned against the dark corner of the alley, wearing a black British suit and a crooked top hat. Dark red blood dyed his white shirt red and slowly flowed down his pants.
Drop by drop, they formed a line and turned into a red moor.
Not far from his feet lay two burly men. The scattered pistols were stained with blood, and they still reflected a cold chill under the moonlight.
" You, you, Cloudflow." The delicate woman had a flustered look on her face as she held a gun that had just been fired." I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought you were with them."”
Cloudflow did not say anything. He looked at her deeply, then leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes. He panted slowly to conserve some of his energy. I didn't expect that I, Cloudflow, would do this for a woman.
"How are you?" The woman who was as proud as a peacock in the past was now as flustered as a child who had done something wrong. In fact, it wasn't her panicked shot that had hit her heart...
But there were no ifs.
" Miss Meng," he said," do me a favor."”
"Tell me, tell me." Mengyao was about to cry. This usually quiet loser actually had the guts to come and save her, and she shot him in panic.
"Give my clothes back to Eddy. It was quite expensive to rent. I still have some money in my pocket for the damaged parts. I think it should be enough to compensate for them.”It took him a lot of effort to say this. He coughed a few more times and spat out blood.
" Okay, okay, stop talking." Mengyao nodded vigorously." I'll agree to anything you say!"”
Cloudflow smiled and took out a lighter and a cigarette from his pocket. There was only one cigarette left. He threw the box on the ground and put the cigarette in his mouth.
After thinking for a while, he put the lighter back.
"You don't like the smell of cigarettes, so I won't smoke.”he said.
"Go ahead, I don't mind." Mengyao tried her best to hold back her tears.
"If you don't like it, I won't do it.”Cloudflow smiled gently.
He liked Mengyao, but no one knew that Mengyao was the only daughter of the boss of a listed company, while he was just an ordinary employee and an orphan without parents. The difference between the two could be said to be from Earth to the solar system. He was glad that he had snuck into this upper-class banquet just to see her one more time, so he had the chance to save her life. Although in this short life, she was like a proud princess, always shrinking in a corner with no one around.
But at this moment, he was very happy, because Mengyao's full attention was on him, without any reservation. At least for this second, she only had herself in her heart. In the long years to come, she would always remember him. A person who loved her, saved her, and died in her hands would definitely remember her deeply.
That was enough.
"Why? Why did you do this?”Mengyao finally cried.
" Because," Cloudflow's vision was starting to blur." I like you."”
"Why are you so silly!" Mengyao said," Don't die. Hang in there. Help will be here soon. As long as you survive, I'll marry you!"”
" Mengyao." He could barely see anything. He tried his best to open his eyes, and his face turned a sickly red." Marry a good man."”
"Cloudflow! Cloudflow!"
He heard panicked shouts in his ears, but he couldn't take it anymore. He really couldn't take it.
Thank you for marrying me, but you should find a better man. I don't have the ability to protect you.
He thought.
Then, he lost consciousness.
The ancient song is spreading
Spreading
The pottery jar that records the years
Suppressing the lonely circle
rumble
rumble
Burning the flow of the galaxy
The smoke rolling in my veins
And rest in peace
……
"Where is this place?" Cloudflow thought blankly. He tried hard to open his eyes, but he couldn't see anything.
Was he saved? That shot didn't hit his heart?
It was pitch-black everywhere, as if it was wrapped in a warm current. It was like a newborn baby, but also like a waking grass. A tenacious vitality rose in his body. Thump, thump, thump. It was the sound of a heartbeat, powerful and full of vitality. A tingling sensation rose from the depths of his soul, making him unable to sit still. The cells in his body were conveying a kind of cheering message, constantly urging him to do something.
He instinctively tried to hit it, and it seemed that the itch was a little better.
He used all his strength to hit it again, and it became much lighter.
He continued to slam into the wall.
One, two…
"Crack!"
It was the crisp sound of an eggshell breaking. His world suddenly lit up, and his senses seemed to have gained a new life. Cloudflow's eyes were tightly shut, and he only dared to open them slowly after adapting to it for a while.
What he saw was a blue sky. A few white clouds were changing their shapes, and huge branches and leaves were swaying in the wind. He seemed to be on a big tree with dense branches. The sunlight shone through the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows on the thick trunk. He was in the depression under the hub of the trunk, and below him was a nest made of soft branches and leaves. As for his body...
"What…what's going on?" He stared blankly at the eggshell that was as shiny as white jade and the small snake body covered with white soft scales behind him. He did not react for a moment.
He had turned into a snake?
He calmed down for a while. The ten years of being an otaku in his previous life had given him the strongest adaptability. He quickly accepted this unimaginable change. An unbearable sense of hunger arose in his stomach. He hesitated for a moment before immediately taking action. He turned around and swallowed his eggshell. Usually, many newborn creatures would eat their own eggshells. They could not just wait to starve to death.
The first bite did not taste bad. It was just like the rice crust in his previous life. It was crunchy, but unfortunately, his small teeth were not suitable for chewing.
"Ding! Activating the evolution system, soul compatibility 100%.”
"Huh? System?" Cloudflow's heart skipped a beat. Was he hallucinating?
"System, open your personal stats window, backpack window, and evolution direction window. Please accept the newbie gift pack.”
"It's not an auditory hallucination!" Cloudflow felt a surge of excitement in his heart. As expected, good people were rewarded. After reading the system's texts for so many years, how could he not understand how powerful the system was? No matter what system it was, as long as it died, it was definitely a heaven-defying cheat. Moreover, there was a newbie's gift bag. It did not seem like the dark version of the system. Was the luck that he had accumulated over the years going to explode?
"Open your character attributes." He chanted excitedly in his heart.
" True Name: Cloudflow
[Level: 1]
[Race: Musashi White Snake (White snake spirit beast living in Musashi, can be upgraded to level 3)]
[Physical: 0.1/2 (Current Strength/Maximum increase within level)]
Spirit: 1.2/2
[Elemental: 0/2]
[Combat power: 0.1 (The average combat power of an ordinary adult human is 1)]
[Experience Points: 0/2]
The simple stats display made Cloudflow's head turn black. Which god had created this system? This was too perfunctory. What kind of place was Musashi? Although he was mentally prepared, hearing this unfamiliar name, he could roughly confirm that he had transmigrated. He did not know where he had transmigrated to.
"Open the evolution direction column." This name was probably a page that could allow him to evolve.
"The current race is Musashi White Snake. Elemental, Spiritual, and Physical talent choices.
[Elemental Talent: Elemental Trick] This talent allows you to use specific elemental abilities.
[Spiritual Talent: Power of Will] This talent allows you to cast basic illusions and telekinesis.
[Physical talent: Innate Divine Power.] This talent will grant you a physical strength bonus.”
"Can I only choose one?" Cloudflow chanted in his heart.
"Currently, Musashi White Snake is at Level 3. You will be given three chances to choose.”The system's mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
"I understand. That means I can choose a talent every time I level up. What about after I level up to three?”Cloudflow.
"You can choose a new race evolution direction.”
"Evolution system, can it evolve into a divine dragon in the end?”Cloudflow thought about it and seemed to have given him a gift bag." Open the newbie gift bag."”
"You have obtained a chance to level up. You can level up to the highest level of your current race within half an hour. At the same time, your attributes will be maxed out.
You have obtained Energy Pills x10
[You have obtained a basic ability: Swallowing the essence of the sun and moon.]”
The energy pill could provide a day's worth of material energy, and swallowing the essence of the sun and moon could increase three attributes. His attributes were capped at 2 points, elemental ability 0, spiritual power 1.2, and physical strength 0.1. There was still a lot of room for improvement. He could improve it by swallowing the essence of the sun and moon, or by devouring some natural treasures. Once the upper limit of 2 points was reached, he would have to level up or even evolve his race to continue increasing his strength.
" Choose Physics." He thought about it and decided to strengthen his fragile body. No matter how strong his elemental and mental abilities were, without a strong body, he would die if he accidentally fell.
"Selection successful."
Yun Gong felt a warm current flowing through his body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He checked his attributes again. His physical strength had increased to 2/2, and his combat power had also increased to 3 points. He estimated that the potential of this talent was not limited to this. His physical strength might continue to increase after leveling up.
Cloudflow did not use the energy pill directly. Instead, he silently swallowed the eggshell beneath him. It was the foundation of his birth, a must-do item written in the Musashi White Snake Gene. If he did not eat it, there might be adverse effects, such as congenital deficiency.
When all the eggshells were finished, he lay quietly in the snake's nest and began to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. This ability automatically integrated into his instincts after he received the gift bag. It was noon when the sun was high in the sky. The soft snake scales emitted a faint golden light, like layers of ripples moving rhythmically throughout his body.
Cloudflow's bloodline was actually very different from ordinary white snakes. For example, his senses were humanized on the basis of snakes, and not the sight and hearing unique to snakes. At the same time, he was not like ordinary snakes, which were purely cold-blooded animals.
After an unknown amount of time, Cloudflow's slightly bulging snake belly had completely deflated. His entire body was filled with an unbearable sense of hunger, and a faint fragrance entered his nostrils. He opened his eyes slightly.
He saw a pair of cold golden eyes.
The moon came out.
