"So you came back here just to help them?"
Gradually retreating from the shadows deeper into the darkness, Snow Spirit Huanbing, still wearing the cloak, hid her expression in the trees on the other side of the Gemenan River, but Art, who had been waiting in that direction,
He withdrew his arms that he had been holding on his chest, and looked at the woman who had just put away the bloody sword in front of him with a playful look: "Why did you suddenly become so compassionate?"
"...I was just attracted by the blood of that monster."
Looking at the other party slightly, the woman named Xueling Huanbing lowered the brim of her hat: "It turns out that I guessed right. The monsters in this place have shown signs of being infected by void energy."
"Beasts infected by the power of the void will become more bloodthirsty and warlike, and have many special skills that other monsters do not have." Art, who tilted his head, then echoed: "Although this jungle has been changed because of
Someone's phantom interfered and turned into an empty forest, but such a powerful mutated monster was still preserved."
"It's probably because that person is unable to extend his power to a monster of this level." Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a low voice: "Or... his power is homogeneous with that of the monster.
After all, it is not an ordinary demonized monster, so it has encountered obstacles in transforming the illusion."
"Then what?"
Arranging his adventure equipment, the playful smile on Art's face suddenly became more obvious: "Is this the reason why you rushed back to help them kill that monster? In the end, you just secretly gave the crocodile a sword.
You didn't dare to admit it frankly afterwards?"
"..."
"I know you don't want to have contact with more people, but isn't this too sneaky?"
Looking at the other party's silent reaction with his head lowered, Art turned his playful eyes to the opposite side of the river not far behind the woman: "This kind of deliberate method... It's more like you are afraid of being discovered by them.
.”
"I'm wanted by the Empire right now. It's better not to cause trouble to these new players in the Empire...it's better not to cause trouble to them."
After another quiet moment of silence, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied silently in an almost inaudible voice: "I also have my own mission. Meeting and traveling with them... is not a good thing for both parties."
"Really?"
As usual, I asked such a question, but the expression on the face of the NPC named Art did not show the same confusion as before: "But you give me a very strange feeling now, like a person who dare not interact with you."
People meet...er, lovers?"
Buzz!
The sound of the sword then cut through the air between the two people. It was the sound made when Xueling Huanbing's bloody long sword suddenly crossed Art's neck. It was forced by this sword filled with murderous intent.
Art, who raised his head, then closed his mouth, and the playful smile on his face turned into a pitiful dry smile. The atmosphere continued quietly for a moment under such a scene, and then the man
The woman withdrew her sword and turned back to dissolve it again. Art, who raised his hands together, dared to wipe the sweat from his forehead with a slight movement, and at the same time, he turned his eyes again to Xue, who had begun to move forward.
On Ling Huan Bing: "Well, this joke is actually not funny..."
"Enough time has been wasted."
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who passed by the opponent who had not yet reacted and never looked across the river again, hid her unrecognizable expression in her departing back: "Let's go."
"Hey, are you really ignoring them?" Art's voice sounded from behind her again: "Not to mention those weak adventurers, that magician and alchemist seems to be really strong."
"No matter how strong you are, you can't deal with that enemy."
Answering without looking back, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes stayed for a moment in the darkness deep in the jungle in front of her: "Even if it is him..."
Even if it is him...
he……
strangeness.
I always feel that something is wrong. Is it because that person once helped me in Carlo Village?
The face of the magician who behaved strangely but was definitely not a strong one flashed through his mind again. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had already walked a certain distance, quietly closed his eyes and has been there since he retreated just now.
The chaotic thoughts that never stopped became more intense as the quietness gradually settled around her, and even caused some strange waves in her heart - since the battle in Sky City, Bai Bai, who lost Duan Qing,
The lake in the heart of the female swordsman has turned into a pool of stagnant water, and this dead silence has become more and more peaceful with the passage of time and her adventurous career alone. Even many things in the free world and the real world have become calmer.
The changes in the situation could not arouse her interest in the slightest. Gradually crawling out of the abyss in regret and sorrow, she finally set herself the goal of revenge, and aimlessly searched for everything on this free continent related to the original mutated jade.
Star-related things, but as the pursuit progressed and the ruthless oppression from the real world approached, she also realized the unforeseen difficulties and obstacles behind the goal she wanted to achieve. However, even now that everyone has been separated from her relatives,
She still has not given up this obsession in her heart, because this is the only motivation left in her heart to continue to stay in this world after countless intertwined and complex emotions have brewed for a long time.
Killing all the people who caused suffering to her - this was the last thought that kept running through her mind after she died. But when she witnessed the BOSS battle just now, she suddenly felt something different.
Emotions.
What exactly is wrong?
Have no idea.
No, that's not right... Why do I have such thoughts?
It's probably just that I've been alone for too long, so I feel a little lonely.
Shaking her head vigorously, Xue Ling Huan Bing then expelled the image of the magician from her thoughts, and her hesitant steps forward became a little firmer with this movement of hers.
Art, who caught up with him, disappeared into the depths of the jungle. The novice members of the team who were abandoned by her willpower were still immersed in the endless joy that the team was still alive, and they could only walk back to the front door.
The exiled war song in front of Yuan Duanshui seemed to still maintain some of his calmness. He looked at the magician looking in the direction across the river, and the question that suddenly arose in his heart slowly came to his lips: "...There are other
people?"
"I guess so."
Shaking his head, Linyuan Duanshui moved his gaze from the front back to his experience bar: "But judging from the results of the BOSS experience we got, there shouldn't be any other surprises in this battle.
."
"Then the final way this crocodile died..."
"Who knows, maybe he blew himself up."
Linyuan Duanshui, who shrugged his shoulders and gestured forward, slowly smiled: "They are void creatures after all, and the level of chaos is much greater than we imagined."
"Why do you call it a void creature?"
Blinking his eyes again, Exile Warsong looked away from his teammates who were still crying and laughing: "Are you... familiar with them?"
"That's right."
After a slight silence for a moment, Linyuan Duanshui replied in a low voice: "I have passed by here many times before to collect medicinal herbs, and I have interacted with this creature that has been lurking in the river several times, so I understand every aspect of it.
Stage skills..."
"Not to mention summoning a crocodile, you even know about dark lasers." Exile Zhange turned around and looked at the magician's face: "You figured this out all by yourself?"
"Please, of course I have former teammates."
Putting on a fake smile, Linyuan Duanshui finally decided to use another excuse to explain it away: "What's more, I have made a lot of preparations to defeat this BOSS."
"Those potions..."
As if he suddenly remembered something important, an interested smile gradually appeared in the eyes of Exiled Zhange: "How high is your alchemy level? How did you prepare the power potion you just gave us?
You said that you used the skills of an alchemist to cast so many weird magics...Did you also drink some strange potion?"
"The strength potion is not difficult to prepare, but the required materials may not be easy to collect." Linyuan Duanshui shook his head helplessly: "As for what I drank...it was just some other experimental products."
"Experiment?"
"Unstable magic potion."
He once again took out a potion bottle glowing with blue light from his arms. Linyuan Duanshui replied in a low voice: "The effect is to greatly increase the recovery speed of magic power and mental power in a short period of time, but after the effect ends
All these recovery values will be deducted... Although the negative effects are frighteningly higher than those of ordinary magic potions, the recovery effect is not comparable to those of magic potions."
"Wait, wait a minute." Exiled Zhange, who put down his arms, widened his eyes: "I can still accept the spiritual value. After all, there is such a thing among the four attributes, but the magic value... There is only life in the characters.
Is it worth the physical strength?”
"There is a magic value setting in the character, but it is not displayed in the system of the free world." Linyuan Duanshui smiled and shook his head: "I also discovered this setting by accident, otherwise
...There are so many weak magicians who can produce magic that can destroy the world. Is it possible that they rely on the physical strength bar that is even shorter than that of the people in Novice Village?"
"But, but..." Waving his hands, the exiled Zhan Song showed an expression that was trying to remember: "When I watched those free world games before, those magician players did deduct their physical strength when they released magic."
"That's right, because any movement requires deducting stamina. This is a rule of the free world."
Pointing at the opponent's body, Linyuan Duanshui replied in a low voice: "But a magician whose physical strength is nearly exhausted can still sing his own magic, but a warrior with full physical strength cannot use high-level magic scrolls...
This should be enough to explain the problem, right?”
"The magic potion..."
"The magic potions on the market are all prepared using various herbs with supplementary effects. Their curative effects originally include a small amount of physical recovery effect."
Understanding another kind of doubt that arose in the other party's mind, Linyuan Duanshui interrupted the exiled war song with a smile: "But if you understand the magic theories and explanations of high-level magicians, you should be able to come up with something similar to mine.
The conclusion is here, spiritual value has been elaborated and explained many times in their theoretical system. In their speculation, the spirit of the magician has a great relationship with whether the magician can accurately use magic..."
"You, how do you know so much?" Exiled Zhan Song looked at the man in front of him with a shocked expression: "Are you the trumpet of a professional player?"
"……no."
The idea of boasting just now came to an abrupt end when the other party asked this question. Linyuan Duanshui, who had raised his arms in the air, finally slowly lowered his head: "I am not a professional player, nor am I a trumpet player. I...
…”
"I'm just an ordinary magician now."
As if feeling the strange atmosphere emanating from this mysterious magician, the player named Exiled Song did not ask another word, but the other three newcomers from the front of the river beach who had finished celebrating immediately broke up.
Such silence disturbed the nerves of the two people with excited shouts: "What are you doing here! Go and see where the BOSS drops!"
"We've had a hard time getting through it. This BOSS should give us lots and lots of good things no matter what, right?"
"I want a weapon! I want a weapon! I don't want anything else, just give me a weapon!"
"Quick, captain, we are waiting for you to drive."
In the midst of a neurasthenic scream, Murong Qingchun pulled the magician sitting on the ground up with force: "No one knows how to touch a corpse, so..."
"Don't worry yet."
Pressing down hard, the frowning Linyuan Duanshui spent a lot of effort to suppress the noise surrounding his ears: "Let me ask you, how do you feel about this BOSS battle?"
"How do you feel? I feel like I'm about to die!" The Soul Keeper replied loudly with excitement on his face: "I have never felt so happy!"
"Not to mention the cooperation you have practiced so many times, are you still afraid of infinite death?"
Looking around at the other people present, Linyuan Duanshui pointed to the depths of the dark jungle on the opposite side of the river: "The monsters and leaders behind are much stronger than they are now. Are you still afraid? Are you still afraid? Not afraid? Very good."
"This is your biggest gain." He looked at everyone nodding vigorously, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious: "As long as you have this hard-won will..."
"It's not a waste of the corpses we ran around with so many times." (To be continued)
