001. Wearing the Swallowing Starry Sky System, Kill Enemies and Become Stronger
Hundreds of kilometers away from the Jiangnan base city, in an abandoned small county town.
Lin Langtian looked down at the newspaper in his hand, feeling somewhat dazed.
Just a moment ago, he was at home, watching the latest episode of the anime "Swallowing the Stars," feeling thrilled by the rise of the cosmic villain Luo Feng.
The next moment, an irresistible pulling sensation swept over his entire body, the light before his eyes distorted, and the world spun around him. When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was no longer his familiar home, but a terrifying and unsettling apocalyptic scene.
"Damn it, I've really been transported to the world of Swallowed Star!"
Although the newspaper in his hand was moldy and white, the words "RR virus" and "Great Nirvana period" were still clearly visible.
As someone who had read both the novel and the latest episode of the anime "Swallowing the Stars," Lin Langtian understood exactly what this meant.
"The game starts in hell mode. How am I, an ordinary person, supposed to survive in an abandoned city?"
The occasional roars of monsters echoed from afar, making Lin Langtian's face extremely grim.
After the Great Nirvana, monsters ravaged the land.
Humanity is huddled in base cities, barely surviving, while powerful monsters roam the wilderness. For ordinary people, leaving a base city is practically suicide!
Although he has been training since he was a child, his physical fitness is excellent!
But in this world, the physical fitness of ordinary people is probably several levels above his.
Not to mention the terrifying monsters.
Even the weakest H-rank beast soldier could easily tear his body apart.
Lin Langtian wanted to cry but had no tears, and despair inevitably rose in his heart.
He had just transmigrated and found himself in this abandoned city overrun by monsters. What was the difference between that and being sentenced to death?
At least let him travel to a safe base city, preferably Yangzhou City in the Jiangnan base city. That way, he can get on the coattails of the cosmic bully Luo Feng in advance and take off effortlessly in the future.
I wonder how many years have passed since then, and whether Luo Feng took the college entrance examination or not...
There's a time and place for clinging to someone's coattails.
Before he could think too much, a deafening roar suddenly came from not far away.
"roar!!!"
The roar was like a thunderclap, making Lin Langtian's hair stand on end and feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
He stiffly and slowly raised his head, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart seemed to stop beating at that moment. A fear from the depths of his soul instantly overwhelmed all his consciousness!
Not far in front of him, a huge monster had appeared out of nowhere, staring intently at him with its red eyes!
This monster resembles a giant wolf, but is more than ten times larger than a normal wild wolf. It is nearly five meters long, more than two meters tall at the shoulder, and its whole body is covered with hard, silvery-gray fur.
Beneath the hard fur are muscles brimming with explosive power; the limbs are thick and strong, and the claws gleam with a cold metallic sheen, capable of tearing steel with ease.
It had several wounds on its body, especially the one on its left abdomen, which was so deep that the bone was visible. Dark red blood kept gushing out, staining the soil beneath it. The muscles around the wound were still twitching slightly.
Even so, the ferocious aura emanating from this monster was like a mountain, pressing down on Lin Langtian so much that he almost suffocated.
Beast General level!
This is definitely a monster of the Beast General level!
The word that filled Lin Langtian with fear and despair instantly popped into his mind.
In the world of Swallowed Star, the strength levels of monsters on Earth are divided into four levels from low to high: Beast Soldier, Beast General, Lord, and King!
The corresponding human strength levels are Warrior, General, God of War, and Beyond God of War!
The monsters' physical abilities are far superior to those of human warriors of the same level.
Beast general-level monsters, some of which are so powerful that they have even developed intelligence, are far stronger than human warrior generals of the same level.
Its strength, speed, and defense far exceed what ordinary people can imagine. Even a group of ordinary martial artists would have to give way when they encounter a beast general-level monster!
Although the monster in front of Lin Langtian was injured, the aura of a beast general was still undeniably powerful enough to tell Lin Langtian what was going on.
He, an ordinary person, was nothing more than an ant in front of this monster!
Especially injured monsters are often the most ferocious and dangerous!
"You damn leg, get moving!"
Lin Langtian was sweating profusely with anxiety.
But fear made his legs feel like limp noodles, and he couldn't take a step.
Even though he knew that running away was futile, who wouldn't want to live!
"System! System Bro? Are you there?!"
In a life-or-death crisis, Lin Langtian's will to survive was strong, and he finally remembered the "golden finger" thing.
Others get cheat codes when they travel to a safe base city, but he doesn't get one when he starts in hell mode. That's really hard to believe!
But after shouting for a long time, all he got in response was the roar of a monster.
"roar!"
The monster was furious.
A human female warrior was hunting it down; the several fatal wounds on its body were inflicted by her.
This is the temporary hiding place it found.
Lin Langtian's sudden appearance here naturally led it to believe that he was also there to hunt it down.
So it was furious; it wanted to let human martial artists know that even when it was injured, it was not someone to be trifled with!
The thought flashed through the mind, and a fierce light shone brightly in the monster's eyes.
The beast-general-level monster stomped its four limbs on the ground, and its massive body instantly burst out with extreme speed, bringing a foul gust of wind as it pounced towards Lin Langtian!
That damned human martial artist, I'll tear him to pieces!
fast!
too fast!
In Lin Langtian's eyes, the monster's figure was so fast that it was just a black shadow. He didn't even have time to think about dodging. His body was frozen in place due to extreme fear, unable to move an inch.
Death has never been so close!
He could clearly see the monster's gaping maw, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly. He could smell the thick, foul stench of blood and even feel the gust of wind that the monster was about to pounce on, which stung his cheeks.
"It's over..."
"I just transmigrated, am I really going to die?"
"Before we even have a chance to witness the wonders of this world, we're going to be torn apart by monsters and become their food?"
Endless despair completely overwhelmed Lin Langtian.
He closed his eyes, his mind blank, filled only with fear of death and resentment.
He is not reconciled!
Others who time-travel either have a cheat code or land safely at the start.
Why is it that for him, the game starts on hell difficulty, and he runs right into the muzzle of a furious beast general-level monster?
To die right after transmigrating?! Who could stand that?!
Just as the monster's claws were about to strike Lin Langtian and tear him to shreds,
Time seemed to freeze in the square, and then a mechanical voice rang in Lin Langtian's mind.

A series of cold, mechanical sounds suddenly rang in Lin Langtian's mind.

A system to become stronger by killing enemies?!
Lin Langtian, who had been in despair and was preparing to close his eyes and wait for death, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes bursting with undisguised joy.
A miraculous escape!
There is always a way out!
He knew it! Time travelers must have some kind of cheat code!
At this critical moment between life and death, his system finally arrived!
Overjoyed at surviving the ordeal, Lin Langtian almost shouted out loud.
