Black Myth: Journey to the West – Simulate Becoming Immortal!

Rain, rain, rain!

"Boom--Boom!"

The dark clouds covering the sky for thirty miles were so strong that it seemed as if the sky was about to fall.

The wild mountains and ridges were deserted and there was no one, and there were gusts of wind.

A temple was located on the top of the mountain, which looked particularly dilapidated, and the eaves were even leaking.

In this dilapidated temple, there were three fair and tender little monks.

One of them was short, one was fat, and the other was tall and thin.

The three little monks gathered around a fire, beating wooden fish in their hands slowly.

The sound of Buddha was faint, and it should have been peaceful.

But Chen Xi, who was leaning against a headless Buddha statue, didn't think so.

Chen Xi knew very well that if there was no Buddha statue behind him, he would have been skinned and eaten up.

And this point can also be confirmed by the eyes of the three seemingly harmless little monks who glanced at him inadvertently.

The greed and covetousness in their eyes made people shudder. It felt like they were looking at some delicious food!

And who was this delicious food? The answer seemed to be obvious.

"Three days"

Chen Xi felt heavy in his heart, his face was full of fatigue, and he looked very weak.

This was the third day since he came to this world inexplicably.

During this period, he had not eaten even a grain of rice!

When he was thirsty, he could only drink the rain dripping from the hole in the roof tiles above his head and barely survive.

This situation was something he could never have imagined before he crossed over.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have been unable to bear the pressure and done something impulsive.

But Chen Xi was different. It was not that his mind was different from ordinary people, but that he still had something to rely on.

Thinking of this, the only hope left in his eyes fell on the human skin paper tightly held in his hand.

The human skin was yellow and felt delicate and smooth.

What is surprising is that as Chen Xi caressed it, lines of handwriting appeared silently on the human skin.

And the blood-stained words described the future that was about to happen to him!

That's right!

As Chen Xi's greatest reliance, this piece of human skin paper that appeared inexplicably on him was used to deduce the future!

This was somewhat like the golden finger of those simulated novels in the previous life.

However, Chen Xi's human skin paper was limited and could only be used once a day.

And it was precisely because of this function that Chen Xi knew that the headless Buddha statue behind him could temporarily protect him from the harm of demons.

As for why it was said to be temporary

Chen Xi looked at the content he had deduced on the human skin paper with a complicated expression.

[On the first day, I woke up from the dilapidated temple and knew nothing about everything around me. ]

[I wanted to go out, but I found that there were ghosts and wolves howling outside, the air was gloomy, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain heavily. ]

[Seeing this, I had to hide in the ruined temple temporarily. ]

[The headless Buddha statue in the ruined temple gave me a sense of security. ]

[When the heavy rain was about to fall, three monks broke into the temple to hide from the rain. ]

[At first I was very excited, but then I found that they didn't seem to be human! ]

[And they coveted me very much, even wanted to eat me! ]

[But it seemed that because of the Buddha statue, they did not act rashly, but used words to seduce me to leave the Buddha statue. ]

[I was cautious and smart, and I didn't fall for it. ]

[The next day, they became a little impatient, and the look they looked at me suddenly made me very scared. ]

[Late at night, I was hungry, so I wanted to sneak away while they were sleeping. ]

[However, I never expected that this was actually their cunning trap, just to lure me out! ]

[Fortunately, because they were not of the same mind, I managed to escape back to the Buddha statue while they were fighting each other. ] [On the third day, what happened last night made me exhausted physically and mentally, and I dared not take risks easily again. ]

[In this case, I planned to wait and see if there were any kind-hearted people passing by who could save my life. ]

[On the fourth day, the continuous heavy rain stopped, which seemed to be a good sign. ]

[Sure enough, I was surprised to find that the three little monks seemed to be unable to bear it. ]

[They began to take turns to rest, but I didn't plan to take risks after having learned from the previous experience. ]

[Finally, after careful consideration, I planned to shout for help loudly to see if I could attract immortals. ]

[After all, in my opinion, since there are monsters in this world, there must be immortals! ]

[And even if it doesn't work, I can keep these monsters awake. 】

【This plan of killing two birds with one stone, after I shouted for a day, had no effect except that the monster became more annoyed by my noise. 】

【On the fifth day, I opened my eyes and found myself in a pot! 】

【Somehow, the headless Buddha statue lost its function while I was sleeping. 】

【The firewood crackled, and the three monks showed their true forms amid my screams. 】

【They were three monkeys, one without a mouth, one without ears, and one without eyes. 】

【But these are no longer important to me. 】

【The fire was simmering, the aroma of meat filled the air, and I died and became a meal for the monster.】

This is what the human skin paper presented on the first day of Chen Xi.

And because of Chen Xi, he didn't think of any way to break the situation the next day.

So the ending was basically the same.

But Chen Xi didn't gain nothing. At least he figured out that the Buddha statue would become ineffective on the fifth day!

"Sure enough, I can't pin my hopes on some so-called immortals coming to save me."

Chen Xi sighed deeply. He had been shouting for so many days and he knew it very well.

No matter how he shouted in the past few days, even if he shouted until his throat was broken, no one would come to save him in this wilderness.

Now, the only one who can keep him alive is himself!

Fortunately, Chen Xi is not a person who gives up easily. He doesn't want to die yet!

The instinct of survival allows him to think calmly.

"With my current physical condition, it is obviously impossible to run away."

"And this Buddha statue behind me can only protect me until the morning of the day after tomorrow."

"Without knowing why the Buddha statue has lost its effectiveness, we can't just sit and wait for death."

"It seems that we still have to start with the three monkeys."

"By the way, they don't seem as harmonious as they seem?"

Chen Xi fumbled with the human skin paper in his hand, his heart pounding.

No one could understand the pressure and tension he was under at this time. If he was not careful, he would be cooked to fill his stomach!

"Let's fight!"

"If it doesn't work, I will hit my head and die. Anyway, it's better than being boiled alive."

Chen Xi gritted his teeth and bit open the old scab on his finger with ease.

Drops of blood flowed down his fingertips and were smeared on the human skin paper by Chen Xi.

Soon, the human skin paper responded, and the new words gradually covered the previous content.

However, the smell of blood seemed to have attracted the attention of the three monks.

The wooden fish was struck more violently, and the breathing in the dilapidated temple became obviously heavier.

Chen Xi looked over and saw that the three monks had stopped reciting the Buddhist scriptures and were all staring at him!
