Compared with the excitement when we got up, Gu Mo, who was alone on the way back, felt a little bit lonely, and maybe a little bit confused about being alone in a foreign land.
Just like when you were far away from home for the first time and studied abroad, it is always uneasy for a person to face a completely unfamiliar environment... Especially in this era, the wilderness is really a completely undeveloped wilderness.
The original ecological scenic spots are everywhere, and all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts are infested, whether they are monsters or robbers.
——No one knows what will be waiting for them ahead.
The most important thing is that he is walking alone in the wild. It seems that no matter how much he walks around, the scenery in front of him is the same. The rolling mountains are rising and falling toward the distance, and the airtight forest seems to have just passed through.
One piece, and another piece immediately ahead...
In addition, there is no reference point. Under such circumstances, it often feels like I am going in circles. If it were not for the very clear direction of the talisman, it has always been unswervingly guiding the same direction.
, then Gu Mo may really doubt himself.
The fortune-telling talisman was the last two days of his surprise training. He put aside all other talisman learning progress and concentrated on one, so he quickly mastered the skill...
This spell is a auxiliary skill. Its effect in the game is to display everyone or things on the map. Whether they are hidden monsters or unseen props, they can be sensed and displayed on the map.
The real function after de-gamification is, of course, divination results and predicting good or bad luck.
It sounds like a very practical spell skill.
But in fact, depending on the complexity of the subject of divination, the effects that can be exerted are completely different. Especially for divination of relatively complex matters with many variables, the results are likely to be ambiguous.
Divination is difficult to interpret, and the results may even be completely wrong.
To put it simply, it was like accurately predicting whether it would rain in a few days. Gu Mo originally thought this was a very simple thing, but after studying it, he realized that it was not simple at all.
Abe Seimei also told him that people who can achieve this level are often extremely skilled sorcerers.
Abe Seimei also told him that in matters of ritual magic, directly praying for rain is relatively easier than predicting it.
But when you think about it, it seems that the weather forecasts of later generations are all the same. They are supported by modern meteorological observation technology. Various meteorological data are collected through various advanced instruments and widely distributed observation sites, and a large amount of experience is accumulated.
, as well as satellite cloud images, computer models...etc.
However, the results of weather forecast are still unsatisfactory. Even if it can be accurate to the hour level, only the hour-level weather is relatively accurate, and the weather forecast for a few days or longer is only a rough estimate.
On the way.
Because the weather is ever-changing and there are too many factors that affect the weather, it is too complex, not only for the establishment of modern disciplines, but also for the mysterious side of metaphysics. With various modern advanced technical instruments and countless manpower and material resources, the total
This kind of thing that cannot be done accurately was accomplished by a certain person alone with his own ability...
——Isn’t such a warlock extremely skilled?
Gu Mo couldn't quite understand it at first, but later he realized that it was probably about predicting the weather and controlling the wind and rain. It had no sense of existence in various fantasy works, and it couldn't compare to those fashionable and popular ones.
With such a cool ability, he subconsciously formed the wrong impression that "this level is not good enough".
But now he is quite comfortable using the divination talisman, because the subject of the divination is not complicated at all, and there are no special changes.
After all, Jusanying Village is right there. A village cannot say that it has escaped. Its existence is certain and its location is fixed. In addition, he himself has definitely been to that village, and he can perform divination through this connection.
, the results every time are naturally smooth and clear.
This is why he dares to go on the road alone. As long as he doesn't lose his way and has some spell skills and a series of self-protection methods such as guardian spirits, there is no problem at all...
It can only be said that today is different from the past. This month of experience and adventure has made him quietly grow a lot.
…………
In this way, I don’t know how long it has been since I left.
Gu Mo brought two horses with him, which were used for transportation in rotation. Most of the active time was used for traveling, and a small part was used as a buffer for free adjustment to prevent himself from being forced offline and unable to wake up if he encountered danger.
On the road during the day, I would eat dry food and drink water when I was hungry and thirsty. At night, I would try my best to find a suitable place to arrange and rest based on the experience of sleeping in the wild that I consulted with Tokichiro before setting off... Collect dry firewood, light a bonfire, and set up the knot.
The boundary talisman, and the guardian spirit worked tirelessly to guard him while he was resting.
Except for the first few times when he was not used to it and was always worried that he would be in the belly of a monster when he woke up, so he woke up several times. After that, Gu Mo quickly adapted to all this. He also encountered attacks on the way.
, but he passed them one by one without any danger.
In the morning of this day, he successfully returned to the village where the cherry blossoms were flying.
The prosperity and liveliness of the past were burned down, and now only the silent dead people were left among the flower-viewers. He walked into the deserted and silent village, took a look, and found that compared to when he and others left, there seemed to be another place behind the village.
It was raided once. I don’t know if it was a nearby village or a bandit who heard the news.
Or maybe the survivors who escaped that day came back and took away their last savings to start a new life?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Because there were no living people or prey, the deserted village was empty, and there were no monsters wandering around. Gu Mo found the old house based on his memory. The thatch piles he laid were still here, but they were a little scattered and messy.
, also covered with a light layer of dust.
He tidied up the house and planned to take a rest here temporarily.
Even though he was already here, he was very excited, but he still maintained a basic calmness and knew that he couldn't be anxious now. Because based on the time of entry, it was best to go back at that time. p>
In that case, the real world should also be late at night...
At that time, most people in the community were asleep, so even if I suddenly appeared like this, I wouldn't attract too many people's attention...
Looking at the tailor-made light armor attire he was wearing, Gu Mo sighed. Ancient armors basically looked like this, and his clothes were already in tatters as early as the night he entered the dungeon.
It’s so unbearable, there’s nothing we can do about it.
He sat on the thatch pile, stretched hard, and then fell into a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
The journey, which he couldn't tell whether it was short or long, was finally coming to an end. Naturally, he had mixed feelings at this moment in his heart. His thoughts were quite complicated, including excitement and expectation for the upcoming return, as well as reluctance and worry.
, and at the same time, there is also a trace of inexplicable guilt.
Well, it’s not inexplicable, he knows very well the reason for his guilty feeling and where it comes from.
After a while, Gu Mo smiled bitterly, raised his hands and rubbed his face. He sighed, leaned directly against the wooden wall behind the thatch pile, and gently closed his eyes.
The illusory warmth and heat of the big fox that only he could feel surrounded him, making him feel at ease, while the white viper was a little farther away, but it was also due to the season, because the spring breeze was still cold and slightly cool.
It’s a cold season. When June comes, the situation will probably turn around.
But having said that, does this mean that I will have no worries about being warm in winter and cool in summer for the rest of my life, as my lifelong supply of air conditioning and heating has been ensured?
Gu Mo's thoughts were in a mess, thinking so wildly.
The white viper guardian spirit given to him by the old man, the effect of constant protection is actually - "resistance to poison 20, fortune 30, poison attribute damage 15%, recovery of 0.5% health value every hour (unless seriously injured and incurable)".<
/p>
This is probably because white snakes are believed by people everywhere as messengers or incarnations of gods, symbolizing growth, rebirth, longevity and prosperity. Also because the goddess Benzaiten, one of the Seven Gods of Good Luck, who symbolizes talent and wealth, has a white snake as her messenger, so people believe
Snakes attract wealth, and the shed snake skin will increase wealth.
In addition, vipers are originally revered for their strong venom and powerful vitality. People believe that the white vipers have powerful spiritual power, so it is not surprising that they have such a protective effect.
It's just that Gu Mo hasn't felt the existence of these constant protections for the time being, probably because he hasn't been able to make them work well after obtaining the guardian spirit. So so far, the only intuitive feeling is... this
The snake is cool and may be very comfortable to lean against in summer.
Time passes slowly, the sun sets and the moon rises.
It was late at night and everything was still. Gu Mo waited patiently until midnight, thinking that it was probably the time when he came in before taking action. He walked out of the house and walked towards the main entrance of the village holding a torch again.
Groping along the rugged mountain road outside the village gate, he approached the entrance to the dungeon step by step.
At this time, the guardian spirit issued an early warning.
There seems to be some movement ahead...
He cursed in his heart, and sure enough, he couldn't relax at the last moment. But at this point, he couldn't back down at all. He continued to walk forward cautiously, and saw a familiar figure curled up on the bank of the river.
I was so dizzy, my body was wet, and my lower body was immersed in the dark water.
If the lower body could not be seen, most people would probably think that some fleeing woman drifted here along the river. She was exhausted and passed out. She was lucky enough to hold on to the river bank at the last moment and was not washed away by the water...
No matter whether you have good intentions or evil intentions, as long as you walk past, your head will be bitten off in an instant.
She is a wet girl again...
However, as a monster transformed from the soul of a drowned woman, it is normal for it to appear by the water. I am just unlucky...or maybe I am very lucky. I didn't encounter it when I walked past here on the first night.
, Otherwise, Axiu might have been eaten without even seeing her.
Gu Mo sighed in his heart and glanced at the opposite side. This was a very awkward position.
The starting point should be there, the distance is not far, but you have to walk past Ru Nu.
His mind was spinning, and he had a decision in his heart. He first looked around, and then secretly used a fortune teller to confirm that there were no other lurking dangers around him. Then he looked ahead, holding a torch and slowly and hesitantly approaching, and said,
He seemed to be a little unsure and called out softly:
"Miss? Miss? What's wrong with you?"
"..."
The monster in the shape of a woman huddled on the river bank moved, but there was no response.
Gu Mo continued to call softly while slowly approaching him. Naturally, he was not trying to alarm the other person, but even if he had not done so, this thing must have known that he was coming. Now that he is posing like this, he is probably trying to trap him.
I came here——
Otherwise, how stupid would it have to be to keep showing off in this deep mountain and wilderness?
Following Gu Mo's actions, he seemed to be approaching unconsciously. The wet female monster still made no movement, but the snake body under the water was uncontrollably swaying slightly.
The delicious human flesh will soon be brought to the mouth stupidly for him to taste at will, and it is difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Slowly, when that stupid human voice got close to a certain level, its beautiful face buried under its arms gradually deformed, and its mouth cracked to the position behind the ears, revealing its sharp fangs... and then,
Just the next moment——
Boom!!
Boom!
Just when it was about to burst into action, like a snake attacking an enemy within the attack range, several blazing fireballs hit its head accurately one after another. At this time, Gu Mo couldn't help but
No matter how stingy he is with the use of spells, if it weren't for the hand speed limit, he would definitely be willing to blast all the remaining inventory on this thing's forehead.
A sharp, angry or painful hissing sound sounded like a reptile, and huge waves exploded on the river. The huge five to six meter long snake body twisted wildly, slapped the water, and quickly extinguished the ignited flames. p>
The angry snake girl turned her head viciously and flew towards the hateful prey.
Gu Mo silently raised the long sword in his hand. At this moment, the iron was shining brightly, and the original shape and outline were almost invisible. The pure white light shone in all directions, and its edge was hesitant like a snake...
This is the power of Bai Viper lodged in the weapon.
Ninety-nine weapons!
Since you are so reckless, you will be the first one to test the knife! His eyes narrowed, and he took the initiative to greet you!
……
……
Real world, community.
In the dead of night, everything is quiet.
Sitting in the brightly lit duty room, although it was well maintained, the old security guard with gray hair on his temples put down his mobile phone, stretched, then reached for the cup on the table and took a sip of the wolfberry water inside.
Feeling a little more energetic.
After looking outside, he looked away and yawned again.
It has been a month since he was scared last time, and nothing like that has happened again. Afterwards, he felt that maybe he was too sleepy at the time, which made him suspicious. In fact, it was nothing at all.
Things.
Logically speaking, even if this is the case, most people probably don’t want to be security guards and have to work at night.
But Old Man Ding didn't, especially with the rumored evil incident during this period. Everyone said that he was getting old and timid, and he was scaring himself... How could he, who was already very stubborn, stand this? So he kept saying
It's all Xiao Gu's fault. If that young man hadn't been so ignorant, I wouldn't have thought so wildly.
At the same time, I have to continue my previous work and prove that I have been through all the storms in my life, and fear does not exist at all!
But having said that, it seems that I haven’t seen Xiao Gu for a while... Although I don’t see him every day, but since I haven’t seen him for so many days, I’m afraid that the young man is deliberately walking around me.
Old Man Ding guessed this, and his face became even more displeased. He was such a rude young man. He just said a few words to him when he was explaining. Why was he actually angry with himself? It's not him who likes to sing in the streets with those blasphemous guys.
It was given to them, and their mouths were on them. When they heard it, they spread it everywhere. What can be done about it?
Alas, today's young people are really shameless. When you see it, you must give him a good lesson...
With this thought in mind, he lowered his head and continued to pick up the phone. At this moment, he suddenly smelled a very strong smell of blood.
Old Man Ding looked up subconsciously, his eyes suddenly dull.
A figure wearing armor that looked like those seen in TV series, resembling an ancient sergeant, appeared outside at some point. Half of his body was spattered with blood. Although he couldn't see clearly, he had a murderous feeling... p>
