Chapter 2 Fellow Travelers on the Northbound Journey
A strange light pierced through the chest.
The roar of the arcane surrounds the ears.
His feet left the earth.
After thatβ
As if being pulled by an invisible force, Shao Nian felt that he was suddenly being dragged to a distant place by someone.
The scene in front of him flew by, and he inadvertently saw many: majestic cities, ragged civilians, mountains and rivers of troops, flowing blood, proud nobles, and tearful mothers......
"These ...... Is it a mainlander from the South?"
It was as if everything was passing by him at a rapid pace. Shao Nian stretched out his hand to caress the undead child who flashed by, but his hand passed through her, and then Shao Nian could no longer find the child, only to see the human butcher's knife hanging above her head at the last moment.
The force that pulled him stopped, and Shao Nian looked up at the surroundings, which was a slightly sparse forest.
"Can I do it...... In a world like this?"
He looked at his hands, which were not big, and they were a bit delicate for a boy.
He remembered what the Queen had said to himβ
"Your hands are too small. The more you try to catch everything, the more you let everything fall to the floor. β
"To hold on to what you want most, you have to let go of the other items. β
He took a deep breath and stepped towards where he was facing.
The figure promised him that there should be no false thing, and since there were no detailed clues about the king's whereabouts, Miri must be near the waypoint.
Otherwise, how could he complete the task of escorting the queen back to the northern kingdom?
He carried a rifle and stalked cautiously through the jungle. There was a long sword with purple ripples hanging from his waist, and it was surprising that this long sword was actually made of ceramic. Faced with some dense bushes, he drew his sword to clear the way, and the branches were cut off like pencil leads.
"Porcelain sword" is the special technique of porcelain sword people. By enchanting an unusually sharp ceramic blade. By increasing its bending resistance, it is easy to mass-produce porcelain swords that cut through steel swords. This is their magic weapon to defeat the advanced invaders in ancient times, so it is cited as the name of the country. These technologies are still widely used today, and they can be improved to make them easy for the average person to use.
The ordinary person mentioned here is Shao Nian, who has no module ability. The original porcelain sword needs to draw the user's ability to maintain its own enchantment, and the one held by Shao Nian can extract other people's abilities to supplement the enchantment.
Speaking of the image, it is like poking people with a syringe, not only stabbing people to death, but also sucking away people's blood, which is simply vicious.
At this time, Shao Nian walked to a small road, he looked around, and found that about a kilometer away, a young woman was leading a child and strolling into the distance.
"I had a bad feeling. Shao Nian secretly said that it was not good, "If the queen leans over the child...... I won't take the kids, hey!"
Shao Nian is particularly bad at dealing with children, so he was almost killed by the enemy general disguised as a little kid. Luckily, Mark was there for him and hated children. The rest of the story is not very friendly, so I won't talk about it.
Shao Nian hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went up the hillside not far from the path, hiding in the woods to chase the two men. It's not that he's scared when he sees a child.
It's because ......
At that moment, puffs of dust rose in the distance.
"I knew ......" Shao Nian covered his face, "Why are there bandits everywhere you go?"
In this world, whether it is the Southern Continent or the Northern Continent, there are many bandits. And it doesn't matter if the law and order are good or bad. Shao Nian may have a physique with a high probability of banditry, in short, when he has nothing to do, he will always have a group of bandits around him to help the fun.
"Let's fix it...... Otherwise, if you hurt my lord, you will be in trouble. β
He took out a small lens and put it on his right eye, and then the eyeball aligned with the magnifier on the rifle - and the scenery from a kilometer away was immediately zoomed in, as if it were in front of him. He could see more than thirty bandits clearly, and not only that, but they also had slogans floating on their heads: "To hit this target, you need to deflect 3 degrees to the left." This is an extension of the Porcelain Sword module technology, and of course it is also for people who do not have the ability to mod.
Shao Nian looked at it twice and said, "The rifle really has a limit...... You can't kill them all with a single shot, or the rest of the people may be detrimental to my king......"
He then took out two bullets from his bag with the words "extremely dangerous" inscribed on them, "and could only try to kill them all with two shots." β
Fragmentation Blaster, a product of the "More Ordnance" mod. Anyone who owns this mod can mass-produce this bullet by modifying it, which is equivalent to firing an exploding grenade. And the size is small, and it can fly far away.
Shao Nian was ready to fire. He saw the bandit standing in front of them and laughing triumphantly, and he saw the buckwheat-colored woman hugging the child tightly, and he sawβ
The little girl had short white hair that fluttered in the wind like willow branches in early spring.
The little girl had a pair of golden eyes, shining and agile like the stars in the sky.
The little girl had a delicate face, and its innocence and cunning were like a nimble white fox.
"I'll protect you. The boy took a deep breath.
"For everyone's sake, and for myself. β
His finger climbed the trigger, flicked the part, and the gun was quickly adjusted to its perfect state, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed directly at the ground beneath the bandit's feet, and the explosion point could clear all the surrounding enemies at once.
He was about to pull the triggerβ
Just then, an uninvited guest rushed into the bandits!
"Boom!"
Like a train crashing into a mountain, a skeleton rushed across from a thousand meters away and knocked all the bandits away! He was only one person, but in an instant he sent all the enemies flying into the sky! Wait! There was a dark red shadow floating on his body...... That's the shadow of the Desert Overlord's giant sandworm!
Then the skeleton let out a huge roar, and a burst of golden light soared into the sky, only then did Shao Nian realize that the skeleton's head was actually a ball of light! It was extremely unstable at this time, and the sun-like plasma stream was surging wildly around the ball of light.
"Damn...... What's that?"
Shao Nian cursed secretly, took out a loudspeaker and shouted, "Two ladies, come here! I'll cover you!"
The two heard his shout, and the woman hesitated for a moment and immediately rushed over with the child. Just then, the skeleton looked back at the two men who had fled.
Shao Nian immediately raised his gun at the guy, if he wanted to hurt the girl......
"Even if you're a god, I'll kill you. β
This time he was determined differently.
The skeleton raised its hand and pointed at the girl...... Shao Nian's trigger was almost about to pull the firing pin.
Then, a soft red glow erupted from the skeleton's fingers, and fragments slowly peeled away from his phanteur, covering the girl's limbs.
The skeleton then looked at Shao Nian and shrugged his shoulders very casually, as if Shao Nian heard a "hum" sound. What's even more interesting is that the mighty and domineering phantom of the sandworm also shrugged its shoulders, looking like it had an inexplicable sense of joy.
Then the guy smashed the head of a rushing bandit with a punch, letting out a roar and slamming the ground, causing a tremor like an earthquake, and then sharp ground thorns appeared in all directions, and some unlucky bandits accidentally turned into rock sugar gourds, which looked red again in strings.
Shao Nian sighed, "It's good that it's not an enemy......"
Then he shot a shuttle at the bandit who was about to escape, and the shuttle was full of explosive bombs......
"Boom, boom!" Red rays erupted on the ground, and many bandits were blown into the sky again. It is said that these bandits have really been beaten, and there are still a few left after being knocked away, blasted, hammered, and exploded.
The bandit leader who had just stood proudly on the hillside was a little confused, and he asked the bandit next to him, "What's that?"
"Well, that's," said the young bandit, trembling, "a god?"
"Phew!" the bandit leader spat out, "God, if that thing really exists, how can our village be burned down by a gang of rebels? If there are gods, we still need to kill people and sell goods to make ends meet?"
He pulled out the big knife at his waist and roared at the sky, a green void armor attached to his body, and a fierce tiger loomed behind him.
Mod ability, Beast Set. Gives the user a full range of abilities to increase their strength, and adds some of the abilities of the chosen animal, such as the Tiger, which increases strength and agility.
When the skeleton heard the roar, it tossed the bandit aside like garbage, and the bandit's torso rolled away like a bowling ball. At this moment, the head of the skeleton light ball became more and more unstable, and he walked towards the bandit leader step by step, and the whole head gradually turned scarlet, and the ion stream that came out like a flame rushed into the sky, like a burning city center.
It made a high-pitched noise, and the fleeing bandits covered their ears in agony at the sound, and the slightest moment of staggering became the perfect reason for them to be impaled by the ground piercing.
The bandit leader shouted angrily, "Scum, come to fight!"
Hearing this, the skeleton reached out with its left hand, and the ball of light from its head shot out and attached to its fist.
"Quack Quack ......"
The skeleton made a noise like bones colliding, sounding like the laughter of the undead.
"It turned out to be a pathetic species that couldn't even speak. The bandit leader suddenly sneered, "For everyone's safety, I must kill you here!" He looked at Shao Nian in the distance and said loudly, "Boy, help me! If this guy exists for a day, mankind will not be at peace!"
Hearing this, Shao Nian watched their battle with a gun binoculars with interest, and at this time he had already rushed to a hundred meters from the battlefield.
At this time, the skeleton glanced at the bandits, stretched out his hand, and the ground thorn directly and accurately assassinated all the bandits who were still alive, except for the bandit leader.
It felt like he hadn't used this trick before, he was just playing with their lives.
"You...... Dare!" The bandit was completely furious, his muscles exposed, the power given to him by the mod poured into the weapon, he shouted, the armor turned from nothingness to substance, and he leaped into the skeleton with a swift and ferocious jump......! Can't hide!
Suddenly, the skeleton made a new sound, and this voice stunned everyone who heard it:
"Do you think I'm a primitive skeleton with no intelligence?"
"I'll talk. β
The skeleton turned sideways, the light of its head reflecting the bewildered face of the bandit leader. And just then, a bullet whizzed towards his head.
"Poof. β
The teenager shot the bandits with precision. But......
"You don't say a word to me. β
The head of the skeleton's orb of light gradually returned to its tranquility, and its color changed from scarlet to a slightly duller gold.
The trajectory of the bullet just now, if the skeleton didn't dodge it, it would be him.
"I see that you are so good at fighting," Shao Nian also shrugged back, "I will assume that you know." β
"What is this called?
The skeleton walked over to the teenager, "Introduce yourself, my name is Sanqi." β
"You're polite, I'm Shao Nian. β
The two stood in front of each other, and at this moment, the girl and the little girl, who had been robbed at first, also stepped out of the bushes on the side.
Shao Nian looked at the little girl and looked closer at this time......
The familiar face made his mind go back to many years ago.
That year, on the vast snowfield, the lone eagle circled, the wind howled, and there was a queen standing on the vast land.
There are also tens of thousands of soldiers. Shao Nian was also mixed in.
They marched in silence, blending in with the wind and snow.
And then - the cry that pierced the sky:
"Three armies! Listen to my orders!"
The response of the mountain and tsunami did not drown out the queen's cry. They rushed to the Queen's perceived enemies and delivered their most loyal kills.
