My mythical world

"Hoo-hoo!"

Even Locke, who was born with divine power, gasped for breath due to exhaustion. At this moment, he was in a mess, with blood on his fists. He hit the lion backwards, and the club broke. He was riding on the lion and continued to kill with his fists!

At this moment, his clothes and equipment were also in tatters.

Locke sat cross-legged on the lion. The once invulnerable King of Terror had died of internal bleeding. A stream of black blood mixed with internal organs flowed out of the terrifying blood mouth. Its eyes were still filled with deep horror until death.

But at this moment, Locke was thinking about the words of the lion before it died, "Is it also a product of the gods' experiment?"

Locke jumped off the lion's body, looked at his ragged clothes, and recalled the indestructible fur of the lion. Locke immediately wanted to peel off its fur.

However, even though Locke had the power to tear everything apart, he was still fruitless against the lion's fur. Locke remembered a story the shepherd had told him.

It was a philosophical question about "spear and shield".

He often called the shepherd his teacher because Locke had learned a lot from him.

Locke, who had come to his senses, set his eyes on the claws of the giant lion.

When he successfully peeled off the giant lion's fur, Locke was also hungry, so he simply lit a fire in the depths of the forest. The food was the flesh and blood of the Nemean giant lion.

This was the territory of the king of the forest, and no one dared to offend. Locke grilled it with peace of mind. He had eaten a lot since he was a child, and this time it was after another life-and-death battle.

Gradually, the tough flesh and blood of the giant lion was swallowed by him in a wolfish swallow. Since it was so hard to bite, he simply swallowed it directly!

Locke's stomach was like a black hole. He had eaten the giant lion of the hill without knowing it. He didn't know whether the lion meat he had eaten in his stomach had turned into essence and disappeared. He touched his round stomach and found a stone to sleep with satisfaction.

The bonfire reflected Locke's sleeping face. He was still a teenager, smiling in his sleep, as if he had a good dream.

Several pairs of bloodthirsty eyes appeared in the darkness of the Nemean Forest, but the owners of the eyes were all trembling, hoping that this fierce god would leave here tomorrow.

The next day, when Locke appeared outside the forest wearing the fur of a giant lion, he scared everyone. At first, everyone thought that the king of the forest had come out of the mountain, but who knew that it was the boy who had just entered yesterday who directly peeled off the fur of the giant lion as a trophy!

Someone had asked for a high price to buy the fur of the Nemean lion, but Locke ignored it and put on the fur of the giant lion, running home like a lion.

The lion was dead and still had its power. No monster dared to provoke him along the way. Occasionally, someone saw Locke running wildly on the road and thought it was a big lion.

Gradually, as Locke ran faster and faster, he found that after eating the flesh and blood of the giant lion, his huge strength seemed to evolve again. His body muscles were knotted and indestructible, and he also awakened his own talent: the power of the earth.

They drove at lightning speed, without any human or animal interference. When the mother and Mary saw Locke, they didn't even recognize him.

Locke returned to the village and immediately wore a lion skin to meet the shepherd in the back mountain. He was afraid that this mysterious teacher would suddenly disappear one day.

"Teacher, I'm back. This trial is a bit challenging."

Locke threw away the giant lion skin on his body, "If I didn't use the wisdom you taught me, I would not have been able to complete it with brute force."

"Mee!"

As Locke threw away the hideous and terrifying Nemean lion skin, the sheep grazing on the mountain were immediately frightened and screamed and ran away. The lifelike giant lion was too scary!

The shepherd looked at Locke's spoils with satisfaction. He looked at Locke and asked with a smile:

"So little Locke, what did you gain from this first trial? Is your dream to live the rest of your life like an ordinary person? Your life has just begun, and this is a decision that will change your life."

Hearing this, Locke's eyes were deep and complicated, not like a child who had just turned ten years old. He looked at the bright red sunset in the distance, and after a long time, he replied:

"It turns out that the real enemy of the first trial you gave me, teacher, was not the Nimir Lion, but the people and things along the way."

Under the witness of the sunset, Locke said with a firm face:

"I want both women and the world!"

"Hahaha"

Seemingly very satisfied with little Locke's answer, the shepherd laughed heartily. It was the first time Locke saw him laugh so happily in such a long time.

"Good little Locke, you finally understand a truth."

"When you were three years old, you wanted to be the bravest warrior. When you were six years old, you knew more about yourself and wanted to be the city lord who led an army. When you were nine years old, you wanted to spend the rest of your life with your lover. When you were ten years old, you wanted to control everything in your hands."

"How big your heart is, how big the world is. The best warrior in the world? The unparalleled king? The farmer with a happy family? The brave man who has never appeared?"

"Why not the most powerful and noble king of the world on the Hill?"

The shepherd looked directly into Locke's eyes, and his words completely stunned Locke.

"Be a person with dreams, you can be anyone you want to be."

The shepherd spread his hands and ignited the flame in Locke's heart. No one in the courtyard had ever dared to say such a rebellious word!

Locke, who regarded himself as powerful and talented, only wanted to rely on his own force to command a territory and protect the safety of those around him.

But at this time, the teacher told him that everything is possible, even the Supreme God King who is above the clouds and can't be seen can be pulled down by him!

"Can I do it?" For the first time in his life, Locke doubted himself.

"The future is in your hands. This is destined to be a long and difficult challenge. Are you willing to accept it?"

On the back mountain, the shepherd asked the boy in the sunset.

The boy gritted his teeth and turned his head to look in the direction of the village, where he had everything he loved. For his dream and to change the fate of mankind, he was not afraid of death and challenges, but sometimes some people were more important than his own life.

Thinking of the doubts he had since childhood, and the things he had seen along the way, the girls and boys who were brainwashed by the church and caught in the church, Locke's eyes ignited with flames, and he slowly and firmly said:

"I am willing to accept it, please teach me!"

Hearing the answer, the shepherd smiled while sitting on the rock.

"Little Locke, you need to complete the nine most impossible trials in this world, so that you are qualified to challenge the strongest existence in the world.

You have completed the first Nemean Giant Lion, but this is only the beginning of your hero's road. Your life will be full of challenges and dangers.

I just hope you can remember this sentence: "Don't forget your original intention, so you can achieve your goal." No matter how difficult and long the road is, as long as you keep going, you will eventually reach your destination."

"Yeah"

The young man nodded firmly. When he agreed, he was ready for everything. Risk and reward are equal. This is the fairest rule in the world.

"You hammered the Nemean Lion to death, and your already terrifying natural divine power has been enhanced by the power of the lion. Your body is invulnerable to swords and guns, and magic is ineffective, but like the Nemean Lion, your insides are still flesh and blood.

The second trial is to kill the nine-headed Hydra living in Lake Lena. She is the sister of the Nemean Lion and also a forbidden test subject of the gods. If she knew that her brother was killed by you, she would definitely go crazy for revenge.

So, little Locke, you have to hurry up. The hydra's toxin is the most poisonous in the atrium. Although your body is immortal, your insides are still very fragile. If you are bitten by her, you will die."

"It's just a small matter."

Locke waved his hand nonchalantly, turned down the mountain, and prepared to start the next more terrible trial.
