"Haha, haha, ahhahaha..."
In the Fars Fortress, the previous brief battle left the ground covered with wounded people in the hall on the first floor of the fortress. Some were covered in scars, some had broken limbs, and some were bandaged into bloody men. But at this time
At this moment, most of the wounded who were carried here had one thing in common - they were frozen like ice sculptures.
In such a hot month of fire, such a scene is rare and spectacular.
Among the piles of stretchers that were everywhere wailing because of pain and cold, a few people who were assigned to a special corner stood out. The people lying there were dressed in clothes that were obviously different from the other guards. One of them was covered in wounds.
Bu, a man dressed like a beggar, sat there laughing loudly despite the scars and frostbite all over his body.
There was a team from the Adventurers Association that came to assist the principality, and the man who laughed loudly had an obvious old scar on his face.
"President, why are you laughing?"
"I've been waiting here for so long..." The man laughed again for a while, then grinned and said, "It's not as effective as a spell."
"Hey, I thought it was some kind of problem, wasn't it just being attacked indiscriminately?" A young man lying next to him said: "We have been in the free world for so long, do we still see less of this kind of thing?
We are no longer the Jianghu in the Jianghu back then. It is normal for us not to be able to defeat either side..."
This young man was also leaning on a stretcher with bruises all over his body, and it seemed that because he was hit by a stray bullet, his bruised forehead had been pricked into a round white bag, which looked quite ridiculous. But from now on
Judging from the confidence in what he said just now, this person is still very energetic at this time: "So, this kind of thing is a good thing, it can enrich our combat experience. Now we are like ants, in the future...
"
"Definitely not."
"Hey, it's not your turn to teach me such a big truth." The scar-faced old man took the towel handed over by the person next to him, and continued to scrub his wounds with a grin on his face, while slowly treating them.
Frostbite on his own body: "If your elder brother couldn't see through this kind of thing, he would have given up the position of president to you long ago."
"But until now you are still unwilling to give it to me."
"You bastard, I still say the same thing." The man rubbed his lower back: "Show me a champion some time, and then mention this again!"
He threw the towel aside, took out a bottle of potion and applied it.
"Hey hey hey, that's my magic potion!"
"Why, can't it be used by your elder brother?"
"Don't do this! Last time you used a bottle from me and you haven't returned it yet!" The young man lying on the ground shouted: "I got that from Tania's magic tower. It's a priceless treasure."
don't know?"
"What a priceless treasure, you might be able to deceive others." The scar-faced man looked disdainful: "Believe it or not, I will go to the black market and buy you two bottles in a minute..."
"It's not like you don't know how dark the black market is." The young man retorted angrily, and then suddenly put on a smile: "Otherwise, I will sell it to you at the black market price...?"
"I won't do it." The man called Big Brother responded simply and neatly: "Next month's salary has already been paid to you."
"Hey, are there any favors in this guild..."
"No money."
"...Okay." The young man lay back dejectedly: "But I have to write down this account."
The scarred man didn't answer.
"Brother." After a period of silence, the young man lying on the stretcher put one hand on the bandage on his forehead and looked at the high ceiling: "We are working so hard...does it really work?
"
"Of course." The eldest brother in his mouth finished applying the medicine, moved his somewhat stiff body, and then picked up another roll of bandages and wrapped it around his body: "You can survive the catastrophe just now, that is
It’s proven that it works.”
"But brother..." The young man tilted his head slightly, but his eyes were still full of endless confusion: "Why do I always feel that we practice like this..."
"Are you following in his footsteps?"
The bandaged hand stopped.
Duan Fenglei slowly put down the roll of cloth in his hand, but he still didn't look back: "It's good that you have this idea."
"This shows that you no longer practice blindly, but have begun to search for the meaning of practice itself."
"But......"
"I know the questions in your mind." Duan Fenglei interrupted the other party's questions: "But you should know that there is no shortcut to becoming stronger."
"You should have seen what your second brother came to you. That person...even though he disappeared for so long, he still retains his due strength. If we no longer consider making decisions in certain fields,
If we try, in our lifetime..."
"There is no chance to surpass him."
Looking at the thin and tall figure sitting next to him, the young man lying on the stretcher closed his mouth and seemed to be thinking about something else.
"I know that you are doubting the legitimacy of those things." The posture of wrapping bandages that had originally stopped slowly started to move again. Just a few seconds later, he began the task of continuing to bandage himself: "Huh
, you can explain that kind of truth clearly, why do you have to struggle with this kind of issue?"
Under the puzzled gaze of the young man, the scar-faced man put down the used bandage roll and suddenly picked up a long sword from the weapons rack on the wall: "Let me ask you, what is this?"
"Long sword."
"No." The old man shook his head: "What is this?"
The young man thought for a moment and then answered again: "Weapons."
"No." The old man weighed it with his hands, then put the long sword back: "This is a tool."
The young man nodded in confusion.
"As long as you treat the power you have at your disposal well, those unnecessary worries..." His voice paused.
"I'm just worried."
"I understand." The young man on the stretcher lay down again and breathed out as if he was relaxing.
"Besides..." Duan Fenglei, who was sitting beside him, changed the subject: "You bastard, I don't know whether you can understand it or not!"
He snorted disdainfully, and then suddenly focused his gaze on the door not far away, which was the main entrance leading to the front of the fortress hall. At this time, several soldiers were helping the medical staff carry out another batch of injured people.
Come in.
One floor of the fortress can no longer be accommodated.
"What happened here..." Duan Fenglei lowered his head and said, "It will spread quickly."
"The people from Wings of Freedom will probably be so angry that they are speechless." A member next to him said: "They tried their best to cause us a big trouble before the game, but they didn't expect that they would end up with this result.
Already."
"I will be happy even if I am not happy about Free Flying." Duan Fenglei's eyes became distracted, and he was obviously caught in some kind of thinking: "But... it's not good news for us.
."
"It's not just the Wings of Liberty people who are so angry."
Under everyone's confused gazes, the scar-faced man explained in a low voice: "There is also the emperor."
"This war... is about to escalate." He patted the wooden frame next to him and said, "It will become more difficult for us adventurers to get along."
"What an inexplicable turn of events."
*******************
"Brother, big brother..."
"Stop shouting! Save your strength and run!"
In the middle of the Andachel Mountains, the top of the mountains - Falling Star Mountain, the central zone.
The white snow has begun to appear sporadically around the mountain road, even mixed in the stones under the feet, giving the narrow and deserted mountain road a unique flavor, but the travelers who come here, or adventurers
, most of them will not notice this change, because they have been climbing for a long time, most of them will focus on the lowering temperature, and use a variety of risky methods to resist the cold that they must endure as they continue to climb.
question.
However, Duan Qing and the other two people at this time had no such problem at all. They even had some energy and blood surging - they were escaping from the pursuit of a giant monster on a narrow and steep mountain road. If placed in reality, they would
He probably fell down from exhaustion long ago.
The physical fitness of the three people present is quite durable under the support of attributes in the free world. However, due to the limitations of their physical strength, they cannot maintain a normal running pace, so every once in a while, they have to let go.
The slow speed allowed his physical strength to delay and rest a little. The big man in black armor once complained on the way why the system in the free world is so inhumane, and he insisted on getting a physical strength bar to disgust everyone. As a result, the only reply he got was from the monster behind.
Apart from the loud roar, there was only Xue Linghuan's cold words.
"Because it's about keeping it real."
The escaping speed is always fast and sometimes slow, and will eventually be caught up by the giant beast behind. Therefore, in order to delay the opponent's footsteps, several people have also used some commonly used tricks by humans, such as pushing a huge boulder to block the road, and finding a low stone.
Blocking a block on short terrain, or using some despicable method of "throwing sand into the eyes", not only obstructs the opponent's vision, but also makes the big guy behind him more and more bad-tempered.
Therefore, every time such a thing is done, it is done by the monkey-like Duan Qing.
Duan Qing had previously proposed to find an opportunity to have a fight with the opponent, but Nan Tieshan refused at that time. It was not because he was afraid of the monster that was several people taller, but in the process of escaping,
Another thing happened suddenly.
It was a large landslide that suddenly appeared on their escape path.
"If you want to fight the big ice ape and the earth element at the same time, go ahead yourself!" While Nan Tieshan shouted loudly, he also picked up a stone and threw it back: "Drink!"
The black shadow of the stone drew an arc in the air, and then perfectly deviated from Nan Tieshan's expected target. But despite this, the stone was smashed into pieces by the claws of the roaring beast, and then the huge beast moved faster
The speed rushes upward.
"I, if I don't think of a way, I will be hopeless!" After seeing the opponent's accuracy several times, Duan Qing has given up on expecting someone to hit the target once, and at the same time, he jumped forward to avoid the heavy ape's attack.
Yizhao: "This guy is obviously in a violent state..."
"What else can we do? There are only three of us!"
"Let's give it a try. Running like this all the time is not an option... Wow!"
Duan Qing, who was avoiding, suddenly raised his dagger and raised it diagonally upward, then flew to the side of the mountain road with a scream. The giant ape seemed to have a grudge against this human who kept splashing sand in his eyes, and now he has
He was targeted.
"Hey, are you still alive?" Looking at the figure of the player flying to the corner of the mountain road, Nan Tieshan clenched his fists.
"Your mother..."
"Grandson!" He picked up a stone again. Perhaps out of anger, this stone was much larger than the one he threw before: "Your grandpa is calling you!"
He shouted loudly and threw the stone on the head of the giant ape that was very close at hand.
Amidst the sound of shattering boulders and deafening roars, he punched his chest with both fists, then bowed down, raised his right foot, and suddenly took a step forward, approaching the giant ape.
He ducked with his right foot, stretched his body, and punched the giant ape's abdomen with his extended right fist.
The roar of the mountain wind and the roar of wild beasts covered up the sound of the fist punching in the air so that no one could detect it, but the effect of that punch was extremely obvious - the howling of wild beasts suddenly turned into a wailing sound, towards
The random grabbing movement turned into a violent sweep, punching away the man in black armor in front of him.
Then, the ice ape covered in white hair languished on the spot in pain, and the originally loud wailing sound turned into a bellows-like breathing sound.
"Cough cough, cough cough..." On the mountain road not far away, Nan Tieshan climbed up from the ground coughing, but judging from the state of his body, it was obvious that he had suffered a serious injury.
hurt.
"Suddenly...I feel a little regretful. The properties of that glove...are not suitable for a one-punch person like me...Ahem, and the terrain doesn't provide enough strength.
...Hey, hey, don't pull me..."
Before he could stand still, he was pulled away by a figure in a black cloak.
"Don't stay in one place for too long." The woman's voice was as cold as ever: "You will be locked."
Nan Tieshan knew that the other party was referring to the hidden earth elements, so he had no choice but to stagger and run behind him.
"Then what else can we do? Keep running?"
"There is a hidden passage ahead, let's just go there."
Nan Tieshan suddenly remembered that the woman in front of him claimed to know the roads on Falling Star Mountain. Now it seemed...she might know more than he thought.
"Who...where is your boyfriend?"
The running figure of the woman also staggered, and then looked back at him: "He is not mine... he is just my companion."
"Okay, okay, you can call me whatever you want, but where is he?" Amid even more angry roars from behind, Nan Tieshan began to look around: "Aren't we going to throw him down?"
"rest assured."
Surprised by this man's benevolence, the woman explained helplessly: "Even if we two die, he will not die."
Under the confused gaze of the big man, Xue Ling Huan Bing pointed to the front of the mountain road: "In that direction, he is waiting for us in front."
There was a mess of huge boulders, piled up in disorder on the cliff beside the mountain road, but until Nan Tieshan ran there, he didn't find the so-called hidden passage. Until the figure in a black cloak made a short figure, from
After a place near the cliff suddenly disappeared, he was prompted by the woman and discovered a hidden crack in the blind corner of his sight.
"I hope... that stupid big guy really has a low IQ." Looking back at the shadow of the huge beast that was chasing him, Nan Tieshan covered the scars on his body, and then leaned forward.
He slipped and disappeared among the rocks on the edge of the cliff.
