Chapter 5 Strength
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Shaochen finally woke up from his daze.
He opened his eyes blankly and quickly realized that he was hanging in the air.
He was tied to a rope and swayed in the mountain wind.
He hurriedly reached out and grabbed the rock wall. When he stood firm, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly calmed down.
Only then did he realize that it was pitch black all around and it was late at night.
Recalling the previous terrifying experience, he shuddered.
He hurriedly reached out and touched his chest, but he didn't touch anything.
The monster that looked like a flower or a snake had long disappeared.
"I'm still alive!"
He finally came back to his senses from the shock!
He suddenly felt a strange surprise. How lucky!
It was a bit unbelievable!
The jade box on the rock was still in its original position. Of course, there was nothing inside.
Qin Shaochen took a long breath and quickly put away the jade box. He didn't dare to think about those weird and terrifying things anymore.
He simply moved his limbs, then loosened the rope, moved his feet, and began to climb down the cliff carefully.
Although he had climbed up and down this cliff countless times, he had never climbed it in the dark.
He always thought that rock climbing in the dark must be extremely dangerous.
But now he knows that he was wrong!
There were not many obstacles in this dark night.
He almost got down to the bottom of the cliff in one breath.
Moreover, his heart was not beating, he was not out of breath, and he looked like he was at ease.
It seemed to take a little less time than during the day.
"Why is it so smooth?"
After reaching the ground, he looked confused and a little confused.
He obviously felt that this trip down the cliff did not consume much physical strength. And the strength in his hands and feet seemed to have increased a lot.
But now is not the time to think about these things!
The most urgent task is to get the single knife back as soon as possible.
In the dead of night, alone in the forest, the danger is obvious. You must have a weapon to protect yourself.
Qin Shaochen looked around while keeping alert and listening to the movements around him at any time.
It sounds like everything is not too bad.
At least there are no large beasts within a hundred feet around him.
"Here." He shouted happily and picked up his single sword from the grass.
This iron single sword was exchanged for a wild boar he hunted last year.
The quality of the single sword is good. It didn't even have any big gaps after falling from a height of more than a hundred feet.
However, it seems to have become much lighter.
Qin Shaochen touched the back of his head, a little puzzled.
The single sword became lighter after falling?
No! Of course, the single sword cannot become lighter. It should be that the strength in the hand has increased.
"Why is this happening?"
He weighed the single sword in his hand, puzzled.
He couldn't help but think that when he went down the cliff just now, he seemed to feel much stronger.
It's very simple to figure it out.
He put the single knife back into his waist and looked around.
Then he walked to the bottom of the cliff and found a big stone.
The stone was sharp and angular, thick and solid. At a glance, it was estimated to be more than 100 kilograms!
First, he estimated in his mind that with a stone of this size, he should be able to pick it up and throw it ten feet away with all his strength.
With this estimate, he no longer hesitated, stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and leaned over to pick up the big stone.
As soon as the stone left the ground, Zhang Shaochen was sure of one thing in his heart.
His strength has indeed increased.
Moreover, it has increased a lot!
Because the big stone in his hand did not feel heavy at all, it was simply... light, more like a piece of wood!
He stood in a horse stance and shouted "Go!"
He threw the big stone in his hand forward with all his strength.
The boulder did not fall down in front of him, but hit the cliff directly. With a loud bang, it broke into countless small stones and flew away.
The distance was more than thirty feet!
Qin Shaochen stared straight ahead, dumbfounded, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
After this test, he realized that his strength had not only increased, but also increased dramatically!
Absolutely increased dramatically!
He was shocked!
"What's going on? Where did my strength come from?"
"And the change is so big, at least three times greater than before!"
He stood there for a long time, as if he didn't believe it. He looked around and picked up a big stone from not far away.
This big stone was a bit bigger than the previous one, but he still didn't feel heavy when he held it in his hand.
He looked down at the stone in his hand, then looked at the rock wall in front of him, and shouted again, throwing the big stone in his hand out.
The boulder hit the rock wall hard, making a loud bang, and broke into several pieces and flew down.
"All this is true!"
Qin Shaochen muttered with a confused look on his face.
After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and looked at the cliff.
"Could it be that he gained strength because of a snake bite?"
"How could such a strange thing be possible?"
In Zhangjiajie, there are many people who have been bitten by snakes. But I have never heard of anyone gaining strength because of this.
"If it is not for this reason, how can you explain this?"
There is no doubt that this change in him must be closely related to the strange incident that happened during the day.
Qin Shaochen took a deep breath and calmed himself down!
Then he began to recall bit by bit.
"When I was bitten by the golden snake, I could still feel the pain, proving that it was not an illusion!"
"After that, I fainted. No, that's not right! I remember that time, clearly... someone was talking."
"But, there was no way there was a second person on the cliff at that time!"
"Could it be... could it be that the one who was talking was not a person, but that weird monster."
This thought scared him himself.
The monster with a snake head as the pistil really terrified him.
"Are there flowers or snakes that can talk in this world?"
Qin Shaochen was a little confused!
In the past, he had heard some legends about mountain monsters and ghosts. In those legends, monsters also understood human language!
But that was a legend! Aren't all legends false?
"Could it be that the flower or the snake suddenly turned into a monster?"
He shook his head quickly, unable to believe it.
"It must be an illusion? It must be a fantasy caused by the confusion after being poisoned?"
"But I was poisoned by a snake, it must be true, there is no mistake."
"But how did the poison disappear? Did it get better after being unconscious for a while? After waking up, I got strength inexplicably!"
"It's so strange!"
After thinking for a long time, I was still confused!
He shook his head in great confusion and muttered: "What on earth was that damned Pharmacist Zhou asking me to collect?"
