Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes the first thing he felt was the cold ground beneath him the second thing he noticed was the unfamiliar atmosphere around him the air was different it felt heavier cleaner as if every breath contained a strange energy he had never felt before.
He sat up and looked around the city of Earth was nowhere to be seen there were no buildings no roads no sounds of modern life only endless forests, ancient mountains, and a sky that seemed far larger than the one he knew.
"This... isn't Earth."
His voice was filled with disbelief.
Then he remembered the car the strange phenomenon the light that swallowed everything suddenly, he heard a voice.
"Are you alright?"
Zhou Yu turned around his girlfriend was sitting nearby relief appeared in his eyes he quickly stood up and walked toward her.
"Are you hurt?"
Before he could reach her, another figure appeared wang Fei he had already gotten up and was helping her stand.
"Be careful."
Zhou Yu stopped a cold feeling appeared in his heart even in this unknown world, Wang Fei was still trying to act first the same person who had spent the entire car ride showing off the same person who had been trying to prove he was better zhou Yu's anger, which had already been suppressed for a long time, exploded.
"You..."
Wang Fei looked at him.
"What?"
Without warning zhou Yu punched him the force sent Wang Fei stumbling backward.
"What are you doing?!"
Wang Fei held his face in anger.
"You still haven't changed."
Zhou Yu clenched his fist.
"You think helping her first means you won again?"
Wang Fei's expression darkened.
"Are you still stuck on that?"
He stepped forward.
"If you want to fight, then—"
Before he could finish, he raised his fist but a voice stopped them.
"Enough!"
Both of them froze zhou Yu's girlfriend looked at them seriously.
"Are you two really doing this now?"
She looked around.
"We don't even know where we are."
The two men remained silent she continued her words were reasonable this was not Earth anymore they had no idea what existed in this world a fight between them was meaningless after calming down, the three of them decided they needed to explore.
They needed to find civilization they needed to understand where they were so they separated and searched the area zhou Yu walked through the forest alone every step made him more cautious.
This world felt alive the plants were different the trees were ancient even the insects around him seemed larger than normal.
"This place..."
He looked at the surroundings.
"It feels like another era."
Then suddenly a terrifying roar echoed the entire forest shook birds flew away from the trees the ground trembled beneath his feet zhou Yu stopped a bad feeling appeared in his heart from between the ancient trees, a massive creature slowly appeared.
A wolf but not an ordinary wolf its body was several meters tall its claws were sharper than blades its eyes carried intelligence and killing intent zhou Yu's breathing became heavy a monster like this could never exist on Earth.
A demonic beast the wolf stared at him then it charged zhou Yu's instincts took over he turned and ran.
"Wang Fei,lu yu!"
His voice echoed through the forest.
"Run!"
moment later, Wang Fei and Zhou Yu's girlfriend appeared when they saw the enormous wolf chasing him, their faces changed they did not need an explanation they ran the three of them moved as fast as they could.
But the beast was too powerful every step it took shook the ground it was playing with them like a hunter chasing prey then suddenly zhou Yu heard a scream he turned his girlfriend had fallen the wolf was getting closer without hesitation, Zhou Yu turned back.
"Zhou Yu!"
He ignored the danger he grabbed her hand.
"Get up!"
But before they could escape the wolf attacked a terrifying force struck them their bodies were thrown through the air they crashed into a hidden cave entrance pain spread through Zhou Yu's body as he guarded his girlfriend from most of the danger.
He struggled to stand the wolf slowly approached its eyes showed no emotion to it, they were nothing more than food zhou Yu held his girlfriend behind him even knowing he could not win he still stood in front.
Then a sound shook the entire forest a screech not a normal sound a sound filled with ancient power the wolf froze its body trembled fear appeared in its eyes the same beast that had chased them without hesitation suddenly turned around and fled zhou Yu stared in shock.
"What was that?"
Silence filled the area then footsteps came from behind wang Fei walked out from the trees zhou Yu looked at him a cold smile appeared.
"You hid."
Wang Fei frowned.
"What?"
"You hid while we were being chased."
Zhou Yu looked at him.
"You're really a coward."
Wang Fei's expression changed.
"You think you would have done better?"
Zhou Yu ignored him his attention went to Lu Yu she was already kneeling beside him.
"Don't move."
Lu Yu carefully checked his injuries.
"You got hurt because you came back for me."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly lu Yu looked at him quietly then she began treating his wounds as best as she could wang Fei stood nearby, silent for once, he had nothing to say as night arrived, they decided to stay near the cave.
They gathered wood and created a small fire the flames illuminated the darkness the three of them sat quietly they had no idea where they were experiencing no idea how to return the world around them was completely unknown.
Then screech!!!!
The same terrifying sound echoed again the fire flickered all three of them looked toward the cave wang Fei's face changed.
"The creature that scared the wolf..."
Lu Yu looked deeper into the darkness.
"What kind of things are inside?"
Zhou Yu stared at the cave fear told them to leave but curiosity was stronger something powerful enough to scare away a demonic beast was inside.
After a moment, the three entered the deeper they went, the stronger the strange energy became until they reached a massive chamber inside rested an enormous creature.
Its wings covered the ground its body carried an ancient and terrifying aura its eyes opened the pressure filled the entire cave a Kunpeng a legendary demonic beast it looked at them killing intent filled the air but after observing them carefully it stopped.
"Mortals?"
Its voice echoed through the chamber.
"You insignificant mortals dare enter my abode without permission, yet you possess no cultivation and no spiritual power... explain how you arrived here."
The killing intent disappeared the Kunpeng looked at them with curiosity how did three mortals enter its abode?and why had fate brought them here?
Zhou Yu stared at the legendary creature only now did he understand this was not Earth this was a world where beasts could talk a world where humans flew and their journey had only just begun.
