Chapter 1: Suddenly Shot by an Arrow

  Li reopened his eyes, looking around in a daze. Judging from the architectural style of the room, it was an old and dilapidated temple. Several wooden pillars supported the roof, which had lost many tiles, allowing sunlight to shine directly through the gaps, bringing some brightness. Inside the temple were broken incense tables and statues of gods, the incense burner was gone, and the faces of the gods being worshipped could not be seen clearly, nor did he know which god was being worshipped.

  "Why am I here?! Shouldn't I be sleeping at home?!" Li Chong rubbed his forehead hard, his last memory was cooperating with a famous director to film an ancient war drama, of course, Li Chong played the role of passerby A, after finishing filming, he went home and slept, then his memory stopped abruptly.

  But it was summer, the scorching heat waves could roast people to a crisp, yet now there was a cold wind blowing, chilly air pressing in, and Li Zhong was shivering with cold.

  Pushing open the temple door, Li Chong couldn't help but stare blankly, his eyes fixed on the outside as if his soul had left his body.

  The temple is located on a gentle slope, with light snow floating in the sky, and the distant white mountains stand tall. Up close, the surrounding area is filled with towering trees that appear to be of national protected age.

  How did I end up in the deep mountains! Li Chong only felt dizzy and confused, had he lost his memory? Li Chong felt that he indeed lost a segment of his memories, the time he experienced jumped from summer to winter.

  Bank card password, QQ number, phone number, home address... Li Zhongnuo racked his brains and thankfully remembered everything useful. But who exactly brought him here? This desolate mountain wilderness, although the environment is not bad, it's not a place for recuperation or treatment either.

  For now, there's nothing to do but wait for someone to ask questions. Li Chong had no other way out. He was still wearing the dragon suit, so he didn't bring a phone. He patted his pockets and found half a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and a few coins on him.

  It felt like he had waited for several hours without seeing anyone come, so Li Chong got anxious and decided to take a walk around to see if he could find someone. But as soon as he turned around, Li Chong's heart sank.

  The temple only has a narrow winding path leading to the outside world, this small road twists and turns, can't see the direction. However, this is not the main thing, what makes Li Chong shocked is that this road looks overgrown with weeds, it's obvious that no one has walked through here for a long time.

  He was abandoned here, and Li Chong somewhat understood.

  Helpless, Li Chong returned to the house to see if there were any other clues. Unfortunately, Li Chong gained nothing, but his stomach started growling loudly.

  Go by yourself! Li sighed and decided to leave this place. Even if there's no money in his pocket, it's not a big deal. At worst, he can beg for food; he won't die from it.

  Soon Li Chong knew why the temple was in disrepair, it was too far from human habitation. Li Chong estimated that he had walked more than ten miles and hadn't seen a single person.

  The snow was getting heavier and it was impossible to see where the sun was, so Li Chong estimated that it should be noon. He was really exhausted, and hunger made his legs weak and his body covered in cold sweat.

  In front of him was an earthen slope, about 30 or 40 meters high, and he estimated that it would be impossible to climb. Li Chong could only casually find a big tree to lean against, panting heavily, when suddenly the sound of horseshoes entered his ears.

  Someone! Li Chong suddenly gained strength, listened carefully for a moment, and then rolled and crawled to the front of a small mound. Standing on the hill, at the end of his line of sight, was an ancient city with towering walls, with tattered flags still inserted, giving people a sense of ancient simplicity and brokenness. What a big brushstroke! To shoot a movie, they actually built a real castle, Li Chong couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

  Under the earth mound, there was a team of people and horses advancing along a road about 5 or 6 meters wide. To be more precise, it should be said that it was a team of people and horses, with about a hundred or so people, also bringing several large carts, whose axles occasionally emitted a "squeaky" sound.

  The man in the lead was about 70 or 80 meters away from Li Chong, riding a tall horse and wearing a suit of armor that shone with a metallic luster. He looked majestic on horseback, his presence far more intimidating than Li Chong's dragon-scale armor. Due to the angle, Li Chong couldn't see the knight's face clearly, but he felt a wave of murderous energy coming towards him.

  Li Chong couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement, as if he were facing a fierce tiger about to pounce.

  "This is ridiculous! How can there be such momentum in reality, it must be an illusion. But what kind of play is this? " Li Chong had doubts in his heart, but he shouted loudly, hoping to attract the attention of these people: "Hey......"

  Li Chong stood on the mound, and this group of people moved forward along the mound. Hearing Li Chong's voice, the leading knight looked up, and Li Chong finally saw the appearance of the incoming person clearly. This was a very standard ancient warrior image, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a short beard under his chin, and a very majestic appearance.

  Li Zhongzheng was about to speak when he suddenly felt a murderous intent flash in the knight's eyes. Before he could figure out what he had done to offend the knight, he saw the knight suddenly pull out a bow and mount it on his horse, drawing an arrow with its cold tip pointing directly at Li Zhong.

  "No..." Li Chong hadn't even shouted out the second word when he heard a "peng" sound, which was the bowstring vibrating through the air.

  Paralyzed, this is the real thing. Li Chong was shocked and couldn't understand why the martial general wanted to shoot himself, but he still subconsciously raised his arm to block it.

  "Ugh......" A dull metallic sound echoed through the air, and before Li Chong could even feel the pain, he heard a burst of cheers.

  "General Shen Wu... General Shen She... The general is really good at archery..." Various shouts and cheers filled the air.

  Among the cheers, the general drew out his second arrow.

  No need to ask why, Li Chong turned around and jumped down from the mound. At this moment, escaping with his life was the most important thing, everything else was just nonsense. A whistling arrow flew over Li Chong's head, bringing a cold wind that almost cut off his hair.

  He ran for several hundred meters, and while he was certain that no one was chasing him, Li Chong also discovered that he had lost his way. The surroundings were all trees, the line of sight was severely disturbed, and he could only stop to identify the direction.

  Now Li Zhong had time to check the wound, the arrowhead was shot on the palm of his hand, almost shooting through Li Zhong's palm, but fortunately, the bleeding wasn't serious, and it would be fine with a simple bandage.

  Li Zhong stretched out his hand to grasp the arrow shaft, slowly exerting force, feeling a piercing pain, estimating that the arrowhead was triangular in shape, and forcibly pulling it out would only enlarge the wound.

  Now he could only break the arrow shaft, Li tried to bend it a bit, the arrow shaft was not only hard but also slippery and didn't leave any marks, it should be made of hardwood soaked in tung oil, this is a standard killing tool.

  What's going on, Li Chong clearly remembered that he was at least 70 or 80 meters away from the general. At such a distance, the martial general on horseback shot an arrow towards his chest, and it was incredibly accurate. If he hadn't blocked it with his hand, Li Chong was certain that he would have been pierced through the heart by the arrow.

  Is there any justice in heaven! The Olympic champion absolutely doesn't have this level, and the opponent is riding a horse, without any preparation, raising his hand to shoot, it's really puzzling.

  And isn't killing people against the law? There were over a hundred eyewitnesses on the scene, and not only did they not stop it, but they also cheered loudly. Is this place lawless?

  Just as Li Chong was bewildered and couldn't understand, he suddenly felt that something was watching him. This feeling was real and made his whole body feel cold. Li Chong turned around abruptly and saw a wolf appearing behind him.

  It was indeed a wolf, Li Chong had great faith in his own eyesight, the wolf dog would never give people such a ferocious feeling. Li Chong felt that the wolf's gaze was so malicious, looking at him as if he were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

  Li Chong took a deep breath in reverse, and all the hairs on his body stood up.

  In normal circumstances, Li Chong would not be so afraid. He had also practiced martial arts and although his talent was not good, he could still handle two or three people without a problem. One of the important reasons why Li Chong became an extra actor was his excellent physical quality. But now it's different, hunger and fatigue made Li Chong extremely weak, and the injury on his hand also made him dare not to exert force with his right hand, the situation is severe to the extreme.

  Li Chong no longer considered why there would be wolves, slowly crouched down, staring dead at the wild wolf.

  For a full ten minutes, the wolf simply circled around Li slowly, this was the natural caution and cunning of a predator. This pressure almost made Li collapse, because the longer they faced off, the more unfavorable it was for Li.

  Li Chong could no longer hold back, step by step he approached the wild wolf. He had to make a choice: scare it away or engage in an immediate battle with the wolf. Both outcomes were acceptable to Li Chong, what he feared most was that the wolf would choose to circle around and exhaust his own strength, as time passed, Li Chong would become increasingly weaker.

  Fortunately, the wolf also chose to duel, and it's likely that this wolf was also unable to wait like Li Chong. It may have been starving, or perhaps it had cubs waiting to be fed.

  For two starving animals, fighting was a matter of no aesthetics, the fight was simple to the extreme. Li Zhong kicked out with one foot and aimed at the wolf's teeth, but the wolf dodged it and bit down on Li Zhong's calf. Li Zhong endured the severe pain, clamped his legs around the wolf's head, and with a twist of force, threw the wolf to the ground, then immediately pounced forward, tightly embracing the wolf's neck.

  In fact, a robust man's strength is absolutely greater than that of a wolf. The advantage of the wild wolf over humans lies in its agility and sharp teeth. After Li Chong paid the price of a small leg with blood and flesh flying everywhere, he finally turned his disadvantage into an advantage. He tightly wrapped his right arm around the wild wolf's neck, clasped his hands together, tensed up all the muscles in his body, and roared "Aaah" in anger.

  The wild wolf struggled desperately, but it was facing away from Li Chong, its sharp claws and teeth were of no use, and it could only struggle with all its might. Li Chong endured the nauseating smell on the wolf's body, gradually increasing his strength, and the wolf's struggles gradually weakened.

  It's won, Li Chong felt at ease in his heart. The wolf's death was now just a matter of time, and it would be done with one more effort.

  However, Li Chong forgot that his palm was still injured and didn't know where he touched, the sharp pain increased, causing Li Chong's hand to loosen involuntarily. The wolf suddenly caught its breath, and its struggling force gradually increased, while Li Chong felt that his right hand was becoming more and more powerless.

  Damn it, Li Chong was more resentful than ever of the general actor riding on horseback at this moment. His right hand could hardly hold his left hand, and the severe pain made Li Chong feel weaker and weaker.

  "Ah......" Li Chong gritted his teeth, suddenly releasing both hands, his left hand grasping the arrow shaft and thrusting it with force, piercing his own palm and the wild wolf's neck together. Scalding blood gushed out in an instant.

  A massive dizziness came at the same time, and Li Chong's eyes turned black in front of him, feeling extremely cold all over his body. At this moment, he didn't care whether the wolf was dead or not, but tightly hugged the furry body, hoping to grasp a little warmth. The wolf's body slowly cooled down, and Li Chong also gradually lost consciousness.
