"Why so slow..."
It was still the sky that was about to end, and it was still the familiar yet unfamiliar jungle. Mengzhu sat on the folded log next to her and complained to the idle A Niu again - this was her fourth complaint.
Already.
"What on earth is that uncle going to do..."
The girl hugged her knees and buried her face between her knees. Her eyes under the hood were looking straight in a certain direction, like a hamster huddled in its nest in winter.
She also knew that even if she continued to ask, she would probably not get a response. Apart from some on-the-spot reactions, that Aniu was just a fool who didn't understand anything. It is estimated that he has not figured it out until now.
Understand what happened just now... I have also made circumstantial comments on his opinions before, and the results can be imagined.
Not far away, the woman in blue robe was sitting next to her, resting alone, closing her eyes and meditating, as if it had nothing to do with her. Although the girl was not very clear in her heart, she vaguely understood that this name
The woman named Christine is the key to the series of things that just happened.
In any case, these things have already happened, and the results are not bad. Just like the uncle said before, since it has become such a situation, I can only accept it. As for the next things, I will deal with them later.
These players in my current team? A Niu will probably become passers-by. Let's settle the accounts and go our separate ways. Will we be able to see each other again? The evil young man from Jie City who dies will also share a sum of money with him.
, it can be regarded as a pension, but don’t expect that you can take out a lot, you are also very poor. As for the person from Xue Ling Huan Bing...
The world she lives in is so far away from a master like her. Whether we can meet again in the future is also a matter of course. Even if it is a lucky encounter, if you have any grudges to resolve, please go find the bad uncle... Of course,
It would be better if there was no intersection.
A Niu on the side was playing around with the iron rod in boredom, and from time to time he made "Hu!", "Ha!" and other unexplained sounds. Mengzhu looked up at the increasingly dark sky, anxiously.
Getting a little bored.
I want to go back and check that place again. All the great magicians are dead and there is nothing else to see. There is probably nothing there anymore...
Humph, I won’t go anyway!
Mengzhu himself didn't believe that he wasn't nervous after such a long time, but being nervous for a long time would make people numb. Besides, this matter doesn't seem to be dangerous...
The sound of fighting came from afar, breaking Mengzhu's optimistic yearning.
Probably because of the distance, the sound was almost inaudible and sounded like a trance, but it still made the girl more nervous. She looked at A Niu, who was still unconscious, and then at Ke, who was motionless.
Christine, the fingers that clenched the dagger slowly relaxed.
Since there is a great magician here, and looking at her calm look, there must be no problem... That sister, the great magician, has been here before and will protect our safety...
..
The girl relaxed her body again, tilted her head back, and unconsciously recalled what she had experienced during the past few days of travel.
Although it is very exciting, but as expected... I am still a little unwilling.
Alas, how will I face that boy named Benny when I go back...
The innocent Mengzhu began to feel inexplicably worried again, thinking about this and that, her vision gradually blurred, the fatigue of being frightened continuously gradually came over her, and she became a little drowsy.
Time seemed to become difficult to tell. At a certain moment, Duan Qing's voice sounded beside her: "Get up, get ready to go."
"You...you're back..." The girl woke up, but her voice was still a little weak: "Why...haaahhhh...so...
"Long time..." She yawned and stretched.
"Okay...huh?"
She rubbed her eyes, and then saw the figure in a black cloak standing there in the distance, as if waiting for something. What was even more surprising was that the blue-robed Christine was also standing there, and the two of them were standing there.
The figure seems to be talking.
What is going on now... Huge doubts appeared in the girl's mind, and then she turned her head very naturally and began to ask the man standing next to her:
"Where are we going...?"
Duan Qing chuckled: "Get up first, it's getting dark."
"I'll tell you... let's find a place to camp first."
*********************
Time goes back to a place a little before.
Duan Qing walked around several trees, followed his previous memories, and slowly found the location where the man believed to be Trick appeared. As expected, there was nothing there.
"Hey, you're right..." In desperation, Duan Qing had no choice but to believe what Christine said, because he searched again, but couldn't find any traces. He remembered that he had just seen
Look at that man digging a hole in the ground to bury the soil...
Originally, he had some ideas and wanted to find this "person" to confirm them, but now there was nothing he could do. Duan Qing sighed and accepted the facts before him, and then planned to go back to meet his teammates. However, when he turned around, what he saw was
It was the woman in the black cloak standing in front of him.
When he passed by there before, Duan Qing naturally saw the lonely figure sitting there. Naturally, he had no idea in his heart - it's none of my business. Once you see such things more often, you will understand.
Face it calmly like this, although this is not a healthy mentality...
With no consciousness of being the culprit in his heart, Duan Qing walked past the woman calmly. The woman would naturally notice him, but so what, you can still come to me to vent your anger...
...
Xue Ling Huan Bing naturally noticed him. She remained silent, but her trembling body gradually stopped. After a while, she supported her body and slowly stood up.
When Duan Qing was about to walk back, what he saw was her now.
"You..." She raised her sword.
"Hey, what are you going to do? Is it really appropriate to bully a level 14 player..."
The sword dropped again, but after a moment it was raised again: "So I... didn't take action right away."
"I have... no hope..."
"But at least...you, you...guy, it's all because of you..."
She slowly approached Duan Qing and said, "Let's settle the grievances between us."
Settlement with your sister...
The sound of walking turned into the sound of running. Facing the figure in front of him, Duan Qing shouted: "Don't be impulsive!"
That degree has not diminished at all.
At this moment, the strength of being a first-line player was reflected in Xue Ling Huan Bing. Amidst the sound of the powerful running, the gorgeous long sword drew beautiful lines in the air from top to bottom, from front to back, as if
Like a meteor, it hit Duan Qing's figure.
With a loud bang, the sword hit the giant tree behind someone.
Duan Qing kept retreating, and finally leaned his back against the trunk of the tree. Using the strength of his back, he suddenly jumped up and dodged the meteor strike by just a hair.
The big tree that had suffered an unreasonable disaster suddenly broke - this move full of resentment actually cut the big tree directly from the thickest part. Amidst the flying wood chips, Duan Qing's body rolled on the ground several times, and was crushed.
After breaking a few clumps of weeds and shrubs, he stood up suddenly and drew his dagger.
The corners of his eyes were beating when he saw the fate of the giant tree before. The trees here were made of extremely hard material, and he didn’t know what kind of strange species they were in the Free Continent. In the previous adventure, Duan
Qing and the others had tested the strength of these tree trunks before, so when they saw this scene, he was naturally horrified.
"Don't be impulsive! If you have anything to say..."
Xue Ling Huan Bing stopped answering and rushed over again.
In the dim woods, shouts mixed with sword whistles were heard one after another. Through the fallen trees and branches from time to time, two figures could be seen flashing back and forth like ghosts. Xue Ling Huan Bing's sword skills were quite satisfactory.
, horizontal slashes, vertical slashes, upward thrusts with the help of force, mixed with a few straight thrusts. At this time, he took action with anger. The power was much stronger than when he fought the tiger earlier. At every turn, a sword strike
When it is struck, a huge mark will be left in the soil on the ground, not to mention the "weak" wood next to it.
She was as powerful as a rainbow, and every sword she struck was naturally powerful. Moreover, because of such a formal swordsmanship, she had almost no flaws. Duan Qing, who was in the midst of it, felt the same way, so although he drew his weapon immediately, he just dodged.
, almost powerless to fight back.
If I were accidentally hit by a sword, I would probably have the same fate as that tree...
The battle between the two broke out briefly and suddenly, but with Xueling Huanbing's attack, many giant trees around were affected, ending their long lives. Duan Qing's shouts were occasionally heard during the battle.
"Hey, stop, you are not in a normal mood right now, you need to calm down..."
"Hey, hey, what's the point of bullying a newbie..."
"With such a bad temper, I don't think I'll be able to get married in the future..."
The woman never responded, but the strength in her hands increased a bit, so Duan Qing hid even more embarrassedly.
Rushing forward, the sharp sword struck straight at him. Duan Qing raised his head, and the sword edge fell against his nose. Duan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but an even more fierce horizontal slash followed.
Qing ducked and dodged, but the third sword came again, and it was a few points faster. Duan Qing had no choice but to roll to the side.
With a violent snapping sound, the sword struck the tree trunk next to it. The huge wound caused the old giant tree to shake slowly, and then it fell down. Duan Qing on the other side was holding on to his back.
Panting, he stood up: "Hey, don't be such a child, okay? Are you venting your anger? It's useless to kill me now..."
Xueling Huanbing pulled out the sword blade embedded in the tree trunk and turned towards this side: "Are you finally tired? You can dodge like this..."
"Let's see how long you can dodge."
She stepped forward again, focusing all her strength on a single line, and then slashed with her sword.
Duan Qing subconsciously handed the dagger upward, then suddenly took it back as if he realized something, and then rolled away as usual.
The soil flew up with a huge roar. Duan Qing adjusted his posture during the rolling, and suddenly stopped the moment he was lying on his stomach. He looked up and saw something unexpected among the flying branches, leaves and soil debris.
The forward figure rushed out of the dust in the sky and arrived in front of him in an instant.
He held up his hands and used the force to roll back, dodging another sword blow.
"I don't dare to block it...it will be very bad for me if this continues..."
The battle continued. The woman followed closely and moved forward again, slashing horizontally with her sword. Duan Qing had to retreat and get out of the range of the attack. However, the woman did not retract her body, but followed the force of the slash and spun around.
He walked around in a circle, without stopping, and continued to slash forward.
"Hey, this is going to be a windmill..." Duan Qing spat secretly and had no choice but to continue to retreat.
The momentum of the horizontal slash seemed to never stop. After the second time, there was a third and fourth sword. The howling wind became louder and louder, and the figure seemed to become blurred. Duan Qing jumped back suddenly, and then towards
He hid in the other direction, and the sword moved in the previous direction for a moment, then stopped suddenly.
But all that stopped was the direction.
The waist twisted, and the long black hair also swung. The charm of that moment was really eye-catching, but Duan Qing had no time to take care of it - the sword did not stop, and with the power of her twisting,
A sword struck the ground in front of him.
The soil splashed out, but this time Duan Qing clearly felt the difference. A dark force silently spread to his feet in the direction of the splashing soil.
Duan Qing was shaken by the shock and fell to the ground.
"Your combat awareness is very good." The cold voice belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing came from the figure that flew towards me again: "It's even better than many masters I've seen..."
Duan Qing's body was still struggling to stand up on the ground - when he fell down before, his head seemed to have hit a stone.
"It's a pity that you lack experience in the free world, so when faced with this earthquake wave that you have never seen before..." She did not hesitate, and raised the knife in her hand: "You will be like this...
..Expose flaws.”
The expected feeling of the sword entering the human body did not come. Duan Qing pushed hard on the stone beside him with his right hand, and his crooked figure rolled to the other side again, barely escaping this inevitable blow.
hit.
"So tenacious..." The woman took a breath, then rushed over again.
"What do you know..." In the dim woods, Duan Qing also began to reply: "Tumbling is an art..."
He stood up holding on to the tree, and once again saw the figure of the woman stabbing with a sword suddenly enlarged.
In desperation, he tilted his neck by instinct, and the sword grazed his ear and was nailed to the tree trunk behind him.
"Hey, that's too much..."
The sword did not pull out backwards, but slashed hard. When the sawdust flew out again, Duan Qing rolled over in embarrassment and fell to the ground.
"I'm warning you, if you hit me again I will resist..."
The woman moved forward and slashed at the figure on the ground. The strong figure continued to roll backwards. She took a step forward and continued to drop the sword, so the rolling did not stop. The woman became more and more angry, and she leaped towards the figure.
The figure jumped over.
"boom."
【Ding】
This leap was so powerful that the surrounding fallen leaves and dust were blown into the sky. When the vision was blurred, a figure flew out from it, but it was Xueling Huanbing, who had always had the upper hand.
"It's okay, don't jump around..." Coughing and wheezing sounded alternately, and Duan Qing's figure holding the dagger gradually appeared among the dissipated leaves and dust. He wiped the corner of his mouth where there was no blood,
Then he spat to the side, but his eyes were a little sharp.
Xue Ling Huan Bing didn't notice that look. She was focused on other things: "Just now... what move did you use...?"
"Fist, fist." Duan Qing chuckled and said, "Hitting a woman is already too much. Do you still want me to hit someone... Oh, I touched something I shouldn't have touched.
......"
He knew in his heart that this punch would not cause much harm to the woman in front of him, because under the cloak, he was wearing real armor. Although it was light armor, it was not something he could do at this level.
broken.
The shock caused some pain in my left hand...but I seemed to have heard the system prompt just now...
Duan Qing had no time to pay attention to these things - the beauty in front of him seemed to become even more angry because of the teasing words. She rushed forward again, but the long sword was dragged by her side. Her posture seemed to be about to use horizontal slash again.
Started.
Why on earth did it become like this... Duan Qing sighed in his heart, but his hands kept moving. He opened the system menu, quickly operated on it a few times, and tightened the hand holding the dagger.
, and then...went up to him.
Secretly surprised by the opponent's initiative to fight, Xue Ling Huan Bing's men did not stop moving. She estimated the distance, and then slashed out with a sword.
Duan Qing dwarfed and handed the sword forward with his right hand, cutting towards the woman's legs. A strange color flashed in the woman's eyes, and she stepped out with her foot. The movement of her hand changed, and the horizontal slashing movement became an upward thrust, and at the same time, she sealed the
Withstood Duan Qing's attack.
Xue Ling Huan Bing sneered in her heart. She was more than 20 levels higher than him, and she was also a power player. If these two attacks were connected, it would be impossible for the opponent to withstand it given his attributes. In this case,
It is certain that the weapon will be knocked away, but maybe his people will be knocked away by this...
Then it will be his death.
She stared at the movement of the sword, and as she concentrated, time seemed to slow down. At a certain moment, the dagger etched with rust marks deflected to one side, and with it the deflection of the man's entire body.
shift.
The semicircle raised by the long sword brushed against the man's shoulder. The dagger retracted and drew towards the empty space on the left side of the woman, and then followed Duan Qing's steps and circled back from the other side.
The light of the sword's edge drew a whole spiral shape in the air as it moved forward, and then suddenly bent in Duan Qing's hand.
He held the sword in his hand with his backhand, and with the rotation of his whole body, he circled from the left side to the side and behind Xue Ling Huan Bing - due to the hasty change of moves, she had just withdrawn her provocative posture.
He struck her in the back with his sword hilt.
Amidst the collision of steel, the two figures finally separated. Duan Qing gasped and stared at the woman who had gone crazy for no reason. She was slowly getting up from there. The hood on the cloak had fallen.
Behind her, the silk flowing out was somewhat scattered. She also began to pant slightly while wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth - this time she was indeed injured.
"You...how could...before..."
"You and I have little experience, I admit that, but... it is only in the game of the free world." Duan Qingdao said, but the content was somewhat irrelevant: "If we talk about the experience of the virtual world, you and I may
…It’s even worse.”
"But this time... you are far worse than me."
Duan Qing began to walk forward slowly, his eyes staring directly at the opponent. The sword in his hand was first placed flat on his chest, and then he swung it to the side.
Then, he held the sword with both hands and ran forward.
The distance between the two was not far, and Duan Qing ran in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing in a few steps. Shocked by his weird posture and inexplicable momentum, the woman did not make the first move in this battle for the first time.
She immediately regretted it.
Duan Qing's face was expressionless, but his eyes were more focused than ever before, as if he had entered an ethereal state. On the contrary, his muscles were tense, and the hand holding the sword made a squeaking sound.
He found a beast that was ready to explode, as if it would explode in the next moment. He stopped suddenly in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing, and the foot he stepped down with force even passed through the layers of fallen leaves and fell into the soil, but he
As if unaware.
Hold your breath, concentrate, and slash out with one sword.
clang!
"I just lost my love recently, so I'm not in a good mood..."
The loud sound of sword strikes echoed in the endless forest, and accompanying it was a long sword flying into the sky.
***************
"From the beginning to the end, I have never regarded you as an enemy. After all, you are still a beauty... But even if a fairy hits me on the head, I will fight back."
The woman knelt on the ground again, staring blankly ahead. Duan Qing came back, looked at her scattered hair, and then threw her sword back to her: "This way our grudges will be settled."
"Let's go, don't come again."
He moved the sore muscles all over his body, loosened the clothes that were soaked with sweat and clinging to his body, and slowly walked back: "I can probably guess the purpose of your trip, and I can understand you.
To be honest, I can understand my feelings just now, but understanding does not mean I can accept it..."
Duan Qing didn't look back: "If you still feel unhappy, just come to me in the future. Although I hate trouble, but... this kind of thing will end up like this. This is what you call...
..."
"Grudges and grievances in the world."
Duan Qing sneered, and then hesitated. Thinking of the guild power behind that woman, and the big trouble he might encounter in the future, he finally decided to make a little effort: "Actually, you don't need to pester us like this at all.
You nameless soldier, just call someone for help..."
"Haven't your Wings of Freedom been gaining momentum in the past two years? It doesn't matter if you lose a few people. Let Iron Ban and the Blood Queen come, let alone the poisonous snakes and tigers, even if it's an ancient ruin or something..."
"No one is coming."
"...Isn't it all at your fingertips...Uh, what are you doing?"
Duan Qing thought that the woman behind him no longer wanted to pay attention to him, so he just said a few words casually, hoping to ease the awkward atmosphere. Unexpectedly, the woman actually chatted with him, and the content he said was surprising.
"No one...no one will come..." The woman said lonely.
She took a breath, and then continued with a lost look, seemingly not noticing the amount of information hidden in the other party's words: "When I was offline to rest..., I also...
.... I asked them about the arrangements of the headquarters, and they..."
There was some trembling in the voice: "They... there is a war between the empire and the principality, and the situation is complicated... The president has already led people to the front line, wanting to...
..observe the situation..."
What......
There was a huge wave in Duan Qing's heart, but the low and hoarse voice continued.
"The members of the team who were suspended before... have also been transferred... over there, no one will... come here...
.for a place that...might not exist...and so far away..."
Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice has become somewhat hollow: "...No one will come from such a far away place..."
"Uh... don't be discouraged..." The more he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Duan Qing turned his head - he originally didn't want to turn his head again.
In his field of vision, the woman with black hair scattered all around was looking at him steadily: "I... didn't... but, but..."
Duan Qing did not expect, or may have had such a situation in his mind before, but he really never thought that he would actually see such a strong woman like Xue Ling Huan Bing shed tears——
"But... now... it has become like this... you have to leave, you... I..."
"I'm just...unwilling..."
"I'm not willing to give in..."
A woman's unique cry sounded faintly. Although the sound was extremely loud, Duan Qing felt that the entire forest, and even the entire world, could hear it.
