Origin Paradise!

Author: Qiu Jiantao

Summary:

The vast universe, the return of the extraordinary.

The Blue Star Origin Battlefield has been restarted. This is an absolutely real death game.

The hounds devoured the sun, the crows brought down the curtain, and the great serpent circled the courtyard.

A world outside the world, a border outside the current state.

New and old gods, eternal blood battle, the Zhulong plan, border exploration, the ten major stars, the battle for the world...

War breaks out again on earth, and chaos creates stairs.

……

The river flows into the sea, and it all began on a stormy night.

Chapter 1 The Stormy Night

2028, South China Sea, Anping Island.

On the vast sea, the wind whipped up dark clouds, and occasionally, dazzling lightning would flash through the churning clouds. A deafening roar swept down, as if a vast expanse of waves had been unleashed. The wind and waves converged and swept towards the island.

Anping Island is a large island with tens of thousands of people. It belongs to the South China Sea region and has gradually developed its tourism industry in the past ten years or so, attracting tourists from all over the world.

Faced with such a sudden and dangerous natural disaster, both tourists and locals living along the coast are evacuating to the central town.

On the edge of the island, dozens of red-brick buildings are nestled among the trees, and most of the residents are fishermen.

A strong wind toppled a utility pole, followed by a crackling sound of electric arcs, and then the area lost power completely.

In the living room of the small building, the boy got up from the wooden chair, turned off the black and white television that was older than himself, went to the simple bathroom, tore up last year's summer vacation exercise book, soaked it in the sink, and mashed it into a paste little by little.

The mirror reflected the boy's figure; he was handsome, tall, and his muscles were clearly visible beneath his short sleeves.

Jiang He, seventeen years old, high school graduate.

I'm waiting for the courier, who's two days late, to deliver my university admission letter.

"Xiao He, if we don't run, we're doomed."

Jiang He's lips twitched slightly as she turned to look at the bathroom door. A glossy black old dog, about half a person's height, stood there with a somber tone, its eyes seemingly gleaming with wisdom.

Since a year ago, more and more strange things have been happening. At first, Jiang He didn't pay much attention, until his twelve-year-old dog started talking, and he realized that the world seemed to have really undergone some wonderful changes.

Personally, aside from continuing my studies, all I need to do is start exercising regularly in my daily life.

Jiang He shook his hand, picked up the paper paste, walked out of the bathroom, went to the living room window, and carefully applied it to the cracks to prevent rainwater from getting in later.

He said calmly, "The boat is still on the shore. Without that boat, we will have trouble even eating. I plan to go out to sea. The bigger the wind and waves, the less we can stay in one place."

The old dog hesitated and said, "That's not a wise move."

In fact, they haven't caught a normal number of sea fish for more than a month. Fishermen divide up fishing areas, and once someone crosses the boundary, it's like a dispute over water at the edge of a village, inevitably leading to conflict.

However, something clearly changed within their own fishing area.

Jiang He found a jar of white sugar and a large bowl, added water, and gulped it down. The taste was cloyingly sweet, but it was very effective in replenishing calories.

"If you stay home, you might be able to collect a body later."

Old Dog scratched the floor and said, "Let's go together. Actually, we can get by with borrowed money, even without that boat."

Jiang He's expression remained unchanged as she calmly said, "I'm sorry."

Old Dog stopped talking and made a bowl of sweet soup. He knew that a guy who had grown up eating dead fish from the beach since he was seven would find it hard to accept bowing down and begging for help. More importantly, they might not be able to repay the loan. Legitimate online loans usually require the person to be over eighteen years old and have full civil capacity.

Jiang He packed his things; the hooks, nets, and harpoons were all on the boat, so he only needed to bring a headlamp and fresh water.

"If we could rob it..."

The old dog grinned, revealing its sharp teeth, and interrupted helplessly, "They do provide food and lodging in prison."

A man and a dog left the red brick building. The sky was dark and deep, and large raindrops fell, hitting the iron railings with a dense, chiseling sound. The air was filled with a fishy smell and was unusually damp.

Walking through the wooden corridor to the seaside, the waves roared and the fishing boats bobbed up and down, as if they were about to crash onto the shore and be smashed to pieces at any moment.

Jiang He boarded the ship, kicked the engine hard, gripped the crank and turned it around a few times. Visible white water mist rushed towards him, instantly soaking his clothes. With a whooshing sound, the engine emitted white smoke.

The fishing boat moved forward, like a ribbon cutting into the waves.

After leaving the shore, the old dog stopped pretending, stood upright, his limbs were quite developed, and his claws and teeth were sharp. He took over the rudder in place of someone.

Jiang He couldn't help but glance at the other person a few more times. He vaguely remembered that the old dog gained wisdom a year ago. After asking carefully, he learned that the mountains on Anping Island were a hidden world. One of the canyons led to an unknown wilderness, but he couldn't enter it. Moreover, the place that the locals named Yuwang Valley had a cliff at the end.

"Turn the helm!"

The wind and rain were too strong, so Jiang He could only shout.

Facing towering waves that resemble mountains, smaller vessels would be crushed. However, experienced fishermen can choose suitable routes based on their experience, sailing diagonally across the sea and using the force of the recoil to move forward.

Three hours had passed, and the rainwater had accumulated to a thick layer on the deck. Jiang He found a hoe and began to chisel through the wooden railings one by one, and the rainwater gushed out through the dozens of small holes.

Soon after, the highest wave crashed in, leaving half of the fishing boat suspended above the crest of the wave before it plummeted. A man and a dog on the deck were nearly lifted into the air as the boat crashed into the sea, creating a white spray that resembled a curtain of water.

"clang!"

Just then, the boat rocked violently, and the cracking sound of the planks breaking was particularly jarring. Jiang He came to the railing and vaguely saw a long, lingering shadow.

"What the hell is this?" Old Dog shouted.

Jiang He gave his answer, turning his head to reply, "A snake over ten meters long, an extraordinary creature like you."

Moments later, a second impact occurred, the cabin leaked, and the situation immediately became critical, revealing the giant snake's scales and part of its powerful body.

Jiang He stared at the sea. This snake was going to kill him, but from the hunter's perspective, the other party had the right to do so. In his seventeen years of life, he had never seen anything so beautiful and dreamlike. The only difference between hunter and prey was strength, and the sea was the primitive hunting ground.

The third impact, occurring at a similar location, caused the ship's hull to shatter further, allowing seawater to rush in.

The giant snake is intelligent and knows how to expand its advantages.

Jiang He suppressed his impatience and calmly raised the two harpoons. When the sea was calm, there were no rumors of giant snakes on the island. Just like the old dog disguised itself, the other party was not strong enough. At least under normal circumstances, the giant snake lacked the ability to hunt fishing boats.

The fourth impact had created a hole large enough for a person to bend over and pass through. In a few minutes, the man and the dog would perish at sea.

Jiang He is still waiting.

The old dog was also waiting, and even prepared to repair the wooden planks. Without a word, they had a perfect understanding.

A giant wave struck, and the fishing boat was once again suspended in mid-air.

The snake's head emerged from the sea, ferocious and terrifying, its golden vertical pupils filled with malevolence staring at the deck.

Both sides looked at each other.

Jiang He's arm muscles bulged, his breath suddenly became deep, his knees bent, and his hips strained, as if a pine tree had intertwined its roots on the deck. With his strength reaching the soles of his feet, his body naturally leaned forward, using his body to lead his hands, swinging his shoulders back and drawing circles with his arms. Time and again, he hunted on the sea. In order to survive, he honed his superb throwing technique.

Two steel harpoons flew out like lightning, piercing the giant snake's eyes with precision, like crossbow bolts, and became lodged firmly in its skull.

The giant snake was in great pain, howling mournfully, and suddenly fled into the distance, moving through the water as if it were walking on flat ground.

The thick rope at the end of the steel fork was tied to the mast. After a sudden tug, the mast broke, but because it was stuck at an angle on one side of the cabin and the wheelhouse, the ship was pulled and tilted, causing seawater to spill out. Upon seeing this, Old Dog immediately rushed into the cabin and quickly repaired the hole. To save time, he used his fingernails instead of nails, and his claws were immediately covered in blood.

The ship crashed into the sea, and the giant snake, unable to control itself, fell from the sky. Its head was smashed into the concrete, and although there were no visible external injuries, it was already in a daze. It began to struggle frantically, pulling on the steel fork and rope, causing the fishing boat to rock violently.

Jiang He gripped the rope tightly. His arms were torn so badly that the muscles were almost blood red. The cold wind and rain lashed his face, and the excruciating pain made his expression more ferocious than that of a giant snake.

He didn't care who killed whom, but before his arms were broken, the hunter's dignity made him unwilling to let go even in death. The giant snake had now become the anchor for the fishing boat, representing a chance for survival in dire straits.

One second, or a quarter of an hour.

The old dog returned from the cabin and bit the rope.

On the turbulent sea, the two sides confront each other, and the one who surrenders first will become the prey.

At one point, Jiang He roared, "Come on!"

The next instant, the giant snake suddenly relaxed its grip, trying to take the opportunity to make its opponent lose its balance, but the man and the dog were prepared and took advantage of the gap to desperately back around the deck structure.

The waves crashed in countless times, but the outcome was already decided.

Several more hours passed, and Jiang He lay exhausted on the deck, the mechanical sounds ringing in her ears.

Chapter 2 Player Panel

The storm receded, and the dark clouds dissipated.

As the night passed, the sun shone brightly on the sea, making it sparkle.

The fishing boat drifted on the sea, and Jiang He and Lao Gou together pulled the giant snake ashore.

The giant serpent was fourteen meters long, its body covered with dense scales that gleamed with a cold, hard light. Dozens of slender whiskers grew from its head. Its only weakness was its eyes. The steel fork was stuck in its skull, causing its wound to nearly fester. Severe cerebral hemorrhage took the life of this monster.

Jiang He hung his arms straight down and asked, "Old Hei, are you a player?"

Old Dog shook his head. "I only remember going up the mountain and eating the fruit in Yuwang Valley. I don't have the player qualifications you mentioned."

Jiang He stopped asking questions, took out a dagger and cut off the snake whiskers, intertwined them together, and wove a ten-meter-long rope based on her experience in making hemp rope.
