Chapter 508 First Entry into Another World
The morning light was cold, and a cold wind carrying fine snow and ice crystals blew in from the north, sweeping through the dense forest and producing a chilling wail that made this already cold and solemn land seem even more eerie and sinister.

On the forest floor, layers upon layers of decaying leaves covered almost everything.

A jet-black crow folded its wings and landed on a withered branch. Its bright black eyes darted around alertly and quickly locked onto a pale, severed finger that suddenly protruded from among the fallen leaves.

The crow was overjoyed at the gift of food and immediately took flight, swooping down to its vantage point.

Just then, a dazzling silver light suddenly burst forth in the air.

The swooping crow was startled by the silver light. Forgetting the unexpected joy under the fallen leaves, it immediately flapped its wings and hurriedly steadied itself.

But before it could soar upwards, the swirling snowflakes around it seemed to come alive, coiling around it and transforming into invisible ropes that tightly bound its wings.

The surrounding fine snow then swirled around it, binding its body like ropes.

It struggled and thrashed about desperately, trying to break free from the ice and snow.

But in the end, under the increasingly tight shackles of ice and snow, it could not help but fall downwards, bound by the fine snow and falling into a strong and powerful hand.

The scene shifts, and a dashing young man in a golden robe appears in the forest, stepping on decaying leaves, calmly and cautiously gazing at the black bird in his hand.

"Xiao Feng."

"I'm here!"

A slightly excited voice rang out from the young man's wrist, followed by a burst of golden light that intertwined with the figure of a heroic young man beside him.

The young man glanced at him and said softly, "Scan the surrounding environment and the creature in my hand."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

The boy's expression turned solemn. He stood at attention and saluted, then his eyes gleamed with golden light as he carefully scanned the surrounding dark forest.

A short while later, the boy withdrew his gaze and projected a golden light screen in front of the young man.

"The scan results have been compiled and organized into a book for Your Majesty's review!"

"..."

The young man glanced at him helplessly and said, "I've already told you, you don't need to call me Your Majesty outside..."

The young man paused halfway through his sentence, then sighed, "Never mind, Brother He said that a rigid style of doing things can actually help you develop a personality and evolve your consciousness. Since you want to call me that, then call me whatever you want!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The boy swung his right hand and saluted the young man with a grin.

The young man shook his head and turned his gaze to the scan report in front of him.

After careful examination, he pondered, "The trees in the forest are all oaks and evergreens, and the species composition is normal. However, the atmospheric data deviates from the baseline, especially the oxygen content in the air, which is significantly lower than the average level..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the crow in his hand:
"As for this little guy, it is entirely black with a metallic sheen, and the base of its beak is grayish-white, which is consistent with the characteristics of the bald-nosed crow of the genus Corvidus in the family Corvidae of the order Passeriformes."

"Although the gene fragments differ slightly from those in the database."

"But overall, they still belong to Earth's life forms..."

At this point, the young man, or rather Li Shimin, released his right hand, looked at the crows frantically fleeing and taking flight, and said calmly:

"In conclusion, there is a 97.254% probability that this is Earth."

Of course, it could also be an alternate world with an environment very similar to Earth, such as the worlds of Battle Through the Heavens and Shrouding the Sky.

But in any case, it's always a good thing that the data is within a reasonable range of fluctuation.

If this world were like the one next door, filled with intense nuclear radiation, then its value to the Han Dynasty would be greatly diminished...

Thinking of this, Li Shimin turned his gaze to the exposed, pale, severed finger not far away.

Without him making any move, the surrounding wind and snow began to dance according to his will, instantly swirling up fallen leaves and revealing the missing limbs of the corpse below.

From the outside, the body was completely unrecognizable.

Not only was its body ripped open by sharp claws, but its facial features were also devoured by wild beasts.

However, this was not a problem for Li Shimin, or rather, for Xiaofeng, the intelligent butler he always carried with him.

In a short time, Xiao Feng had reconstructed the person's appearance before death based on the characteristics of the corpse.

"Fair skin, wavy hair, high nose – typical Caucasian from Northwestern Europe, which matches Brother Lin's previous assessment of the Western medieval world..."

Since it's a Western medieval worldview, there's nothing to hesitate about.

Leading the Han Dynasty to invade the world was a psychological burden for Li Shimin.

The only thing to consider is the mysterious power and extraordinary factors that exist in this world, and what value such a world can bring to the Han Dynasty.

"Anyway, let's go check out the nearest human settlement first!"

Li Shimin muttered to himself, then stepped into the air.

In an instant, vortexes of energy formed beneath his feet, lifting him into the sky, where he looked down upon the earth amidst the raging wind and snow.

Based on the manner of the body's death, he deduced that the person had been stabbed to death with a cold weapon and then dumped in the forest.

This is good news, indicating that there is either a human settlement nearby or a road frequented by bandits and travelers.

Either one could help Li Shimin find traces of humans as quickly as possible.

And so, braving the wind and snow, he flew over the forest for a while, and soon saw the edge of the forest and a wide road running between the two forests.

Li Shimin paused, hovering in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the wide road below. Even with the snow and ice covering it, he could still see many cart tracks and hoofprints on the road.

Clearly, this road is quite large and is very likely an official road in this world.

Unfortunately, the weather is really bad today. Even the bandits who have taken up residence here will probably have to stop working. It's unlikely that you'll see anyone.

But that's alright. If the mountain won't come to me, I'll just go to the mountain!
Li Shimin took a step forward, and his figure shot out instantly, piercing through the wind and snow, leaving a faint white trail as he flew forward.

Before long, he saw a crooked wisp of smoke rising from the forest on his right—

This is not surprising, given the harsh weather here. For humans living in this area, not lighting a fire would be suicidal without superhuman protection!

Li Shimin was not surprised at all and immediately changed direction, flying to the right.

In a short while, he descended from the sky and landed where a wisp of smoke was rising.

The first thing that catches the eye is a simple wooden hut built against a cave.

From the outside, the wooden house appears to be low and narrow, seemingly only used for cooking and not for sleeping.

In comparison, the nearby cave seemed more like a temporary outpost.

Inside the cave, firelight flickered, and shadowy figures moved about. Occasionally, rough laughter and curses could be heard, faintly echoing through the cave.

Li Shimin withdrew his gaze and looked at the wooden house outside the cave. He saw more than ten strips of meat drying on the wooden rack outside the house, and smoke filled the house. He could vaguely see two figures busy in front of the stove.

One of them grabbed a wooden spoon, tasted the unidentified broth in the pot, nodded in satisfaction, pushed open the door, and walked out of the wooden house with a smile on his face.

"..."

Li Shimin turned his gaze to this person.

He was tall and had a head of messy red hair. He was dressed in clothes made of various animal hides, and looked as crude and uncouth as a savage.

A sheathed longsword was also hanging at his waist.

Judging from the ill-fitting, obviously cut sword ribbon and the faint smell of blood emanating from the scabbard, it was highly likely that he had stolen it from a passerby.

"...They really are robbers."

Li Shimin made his judgment calmly.

The red-haired 'savage' opposite him suddenly narrowed his eyes and his face changed drastically. He immediately drew his iron sword with a clang and started shouting at the top of his lungs.

The wind and snow carried his shouts into the cave, abruptly silencing the laughter and curses inside.

Immediately afterwards, a series of footsteps sounded, and about seven or eight 'savages' wielding weapons rushed out of the cave, looking menacingly at the uninvited guest in the snowstorm.

But when they saw the other party's appearance and attire, the leader of the 'savages' was stunned for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he swallowed hard and stared at Li Shimin's clothes and jade pendant with shining eyes.

"#￥%#￥%@!"

The man put on a fierce expression and roared in some Indo-European language.

'It's not in English?'

Li Shimin frowned, somewhat surprised.

Meanwhile, the 'savages' opposite him, seeing that he did not answer, assumed that Li Shimin had been frightened into a stupor.

He then grinned maliciously, brandished his weapon, led his men forward, and mercilessly swung his longsword, dodging the robes, and slashed at Li Shimin's neck.

"Pfft-"

Warm blood splattered, staining the ice and snow on the ground red.

The 'savage' holding a long sword stood frozen in front of Li Shimin, blood gushing from his neck, causing his head to rise and fall to the ground in bewilderment and fear.

"Since it's not an Earth language, let's solve the language problem first!"

Li Shimin calmly strode forward, stepping over the spreading pool of blood, towards the increasingly terrified 'savages'.

Without him making any move, the surrounding wind and snow seemed to come alive, suddenly condensing into blades of energy that slashed towards their throats.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

The sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh rang out one after another, echoing through the wind and snow, mingled with screams and wails.

In just a few seconds, the snow was littered with corpses, turning the ground into a pool of crimson blood.

Apart from the person still standing in front of the stove in the wooden house, there was no one else standing.

Li Shimin glanced at the unsuspecting figure inside the wooden house, then raised his right hand expressionlessly.

With a slight bend in the middle finger, a wisp of cold air arrives in response to the thought, condensing into a three-inch ice needle at the fingertip, crystal clear and chilling.

"call out--"

He flicked his finger, and the ice needle instantly sliced ​​through the air, piercing the wooden wall, causing the busy figure in front of the stove to freeze abruptly, and then slowly fall backward.

The moment he shot out the ice needle, Li Shimin squatted down, not even glancing at the person who had fallen in the room, and aimed his wrist at the head of the corpse in front of him.

"Xiaofeng, extract the memory spots and filter out language and important information."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
