Transmigration? Life-and-Death Crisis!

Age 761.

In the vast, boundless universe, on a cerulean planet.

This is Earth, located in the North Galaxy of Universe 7, and also the beginning of the Dragon Ball story...

A young man of about 18 years old appeared in a wilderness for unknown reasons and was struggling to survive.

He discovered that the place was filled with monsters—insects several meters tall, extinct dinosaurs that were likely even larger in size!

There were also many creatures he couldn't identify at all, some looking as if they had been stitched together; without exception, none of them were things he could afford to provoke.

Thinking this, the young man pressed his body further into the cave; he had been barely surviving in this place for seven days.

When thirsty, he drank dew; when hungry, he chewed on leaves. Forget about eating meat—he didn't even dare go to the riverbank to catch fish.

He Lingxuan's pale complexion improved slightly after drinking a mouthful of dew. This dew was gathered near the cave around three in the morning, a time when most animals were either fast asleep or had yet to wake up.

"Damn it, I was just scrolling through videos and fell asleep, only to wake up in this godforsaken place. Even if you were going to kidnap me, you didn't have to dump me here! I haven't made any enemies! You damn heavens, are you messing with me?!"

He Lingxuan was somewhat irritated, cursing and complaining. His weak body had gone without food for a long time, yet for some reason, a force kept sustaining his vitality.

"I really don't get it. I'm an orphan, no money, no power, just a decent-looking face. If you're going to kidnap me, at least take me somewhere with people. You could even lock me up, that would be fine! This ghost place, it doesn't look normal no matter how I see it. Damn it, there are even dinosaurs. Didn't they say dinosaurs were extinct?"

He kept muttering to himself, but his brain was racing. He hadn't eaten for seven days, relying only on dew to hold on. If he didn't eat something soon, he might lose the ability to move, pass out from hunger, and then be torn apart and eaten by other animals.

Thinking of this, He Lingxuan suddenly perked up. Although he was still incredibly haggard, a fierce glint appeared in his dim eyes.

"Damn it, I'll risk it! I'm going out tonight to find food. If I don't find something to fill my stomach, I'll starve to death sooner or later. I, He Lingxuan, will never die so pathetically! Rather than being eaten after I die, I might as well give it a shot!"

Actually, it wasn't that there were no fruits or anything. When he first woke up in this place, although He Lingxuan was a bit confused, he had been very cautious, knowing nothing about his situation after waking up in a strange place.

Seven days ago.

At first, he was awakened by the scorching sun at high noon. After waking up, he was a bit dazed and started walking around. As he walked, he realized something was wrong, because not only were there no people, but he couldn't even see any animals.

After walking for about an hour, he stopped in front of a hillside and sat on a giant pebble to relax his calves, wondering why he had ended up here, when a shadow quietly loomed over He Lingxuan!

Rubbing his sore calves, He Lingxuan felt something was off; the sky seemed to have suddenly gone dark.

Plop!

A drop of 'water' landed on He Lingxuan's head, soaking his hair and shirt. A thick, fishy stench instantly rushed into his nostrils, and he almost vomited on the spot.

No matter how foolish he was, He Lingxuan knew things had gone terribly wrong. He turned his head stiffly, his peripheral vision catching a giant tiger at least three meters tall and five meters long!

It was baring its fangs with its mouth wide open, and its saliva was dripping onto him.

In a life-or-death crisis, He Lingxuan bolted. In an instant, he seemed to erupt with unparalleled power, running dozens of meters in less than a second!

Even that giant tiger was stunned for a moment, not expecting this small creature to run so fast. Once it reacted, it opened its mouth and let out a roar.

ROAR!!!

Its body surged, and it sprinted like the wind, but for some reason, it couldn't catch up to the mere human who looked so insignificant in its eyes.

He Lingxuan didn't know he could run this fast either. In the face of a life-or-death crisis, he didn't pay attention to such things; he only knew to run! Run fast!

While fleeing, the characteristics of tigers flashed through his mind.

But he quickly cast them aside; after all, no normal tiger had such a massive size, so applying normal logic to the giant tiger chasing him was useless.

His mind raced for a way to escape. Climb a tree? No! Tigers can climb! Jump into water? Also no, tigers can swim, and they swim much faster than humans!

Idea after idea was quickly brought up and discarded. Finally, a flash of inspiration struck: He Lingxuan realized he just needed to find a cave. Given the terrain, there had to be plenty of them.

However, that wasn't easy either; if the cave wasn't deep enough, that tiger's claws could easily dig him out!

He had to make do with what he had. He Lingxuan scanned the area ahead and found a cave not far away, its size perfectly matching his expectations.

It wasn't that he couldn't keep running, but first, he didn't know when the tiger would catch up, and second, for some reason, not long after he started running, he felt extremely hungry. Although he still had the strength to run, He Lingxuan felt that if he continued like this, he might collapse from hunger right where he stood.

So, this was his last chance!

He stomped one foot hard against the ground, suddenly accelerating and bursting forward with all his might, diving inside in one go!

The moment He Lingxuan entered, the giant tiger's massive claws followed. BANG!!!

Screech—!!!

The tiger's claws raked violently at the cave entrance, creating a loud collision as gravel continuously tumbled down.

ROAR, ROAR, ROAR!!!!!

The tiger's roar echoed, seemingly furious that its meal had escaped!

At this moment, He Lingxuan, deep inside the cave, lay spread-eagled, gasping for air.

Hearing the commotion at the entrance, He Lingxuan knew that stupid tiger had followed him.

"Phew, my luck is actually pretty good this time. This cave is deep enough and narrow enough that the stupid tiger can at most reach a claw inside."

"I should be safe for now, but that big guy is still blocking the entrance. It shouldn't stay here for long, though—it can't go without eating or drinking forever!"

Feeling he had recovered, He Lingxuan muttered to himself, lamenting his narrow escape, though he was now trapped...

Just like that, after hiding in the cave for several hours, He Lingxuan finally dared to stand up and look toward the entrance. He found that the half-meter-wide cave opening had been clawed to shreds, and there were even signs of a partial collapse.

He took a few more steps forward and looked out. The grass was covered in gravel, clearly caused by the giant tiger's movements, which had cracked the mountain rock. Looking at this scene, He Linxuan let out a deep sigh.

He wasn't stupid; he knew that even if the giant tiger left, it might return after it had its fill, and it was even more likely that it hadn't left at all.
