Chapter 140: Forward
In the spacious and dilapidated living room, sitting quietly on the ground, looking at Adil in front of her, Ariel had an expression of extreme fear on her face, and her eyes were full of intense uneasiness.
She had been living in this tall building for four or five months.
Luckily at first, it's on the edge of the danger zone, but it's barely safe, and it's close to the old villages, so it's easy to get in and search for something.
But after the last two months, she often felt that something was staring at her, and even one night she faintly saw the face of a woman with half of her face rotten, staring at her with a vicious look.
It had all reached its peak recently, and on several occasions she could even feel the woman standing by her bedside, staring at her all night.
All this made her feel deeply frightened, so when she heard Adier's words at this time, she suddenly felt a little chill in her heart.
Standing at the old wooden table, feeling Ariel's gaze, Adil didn't turn around, but just said, "You can rest assured for the time being, at least for a month, that thing won't appear again." ”
He wasn't lying to her.
The remnants of this building are not too strong, even if it is just to hurt an ordinary person, it requires the other party to stay in this building for a long time, so that the other party can be infected with the breath here.
The reason why that scene happened last night was actually because Ariel had been in this building for too long and had met the basic conditions for triggering, so that scene appeared.
If Adil hadn't been there, Ariel would have been directly approached by the weirdness here last night, and there would have been no surprises.
After last night, the remnants of the strange force field here have been affected by Adiel, and it is estimated that it will not be able to recover in a month or two, and it is unlikely to continue to appear.
Of course, if the girl in front of her doesn't leave here during this time, then she will definitely not be able to escape a dead word in the end.
"A month?"
Listening to Adiel's words, Ariel snorted violently.
She looked at Adil in a daze, her mouth slightly open, obviously wanting to say something.
It's just that in front of her, Adil has not given her a chance.
He didn't look at the girl in front of him, but silently opened the door of the living room, and gently pressed his hand.
With a creak, the door in front of him was opened.
Adil had a calm face, a sword at his waist, and walked out directly, obviously preparing to leave.
Walking outside the gate, cool air poured in from outside.
Standing in place, Adil turned his head slightly, looking at the ground a few meters away from the gate.
I saw that there, a few white coarse hairs appeared at some point, with a unique smell on them, and I don't know what left them.
It was left by the creature of the previous night, walking directly in front of the gate, leaving a little trace.
Through the monitoring of the chip, looking at the faint traces around him, Adier's face was calm, and he walked silently into the distance.
Behind him, looking at Adiel's departing figure, Ariel stood up quietly from the spot, and looked at Adiel's back with a face covered with terrifying blood clots, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time passes slowly.
After a while, her eyes began to become determined, and she quickly ran to her room, and after taking out a small bag from under the bed, she rushed out quickly, and quickly ran behind Adiel.
Sensing the panting figure behind him, Adil had a slight side of his face, just glanced at it, and didn't pay much attention to it.
After a few hours, under Ariel's puzzled eyes, Adil walked to a familiar place again.
This is the same village from before, and everything around it doesn't seem to have changed, it looks old and shabby, with an eerie atmosphere.
Arriving here, Adil took out a map from the package he was carrying.
The yellowed map looks shabby, with detailed topography of the area and two distinct circles.
When Adil first came to this world a few years ago, he rescued a nobleman named Aral and obtained the map from them.
There are two distinct circles on the map, one of which is the village, and the other is clearly where Aral was located.
Once again, this map is just in use.
Looking at the map quietly, Adil also fell into deep thought, thinking about his next destination.
At this time, his main purpose was to obtain the resources of this world, especially those crystal nuclei born in the weird, so as to make himself meet the standard of promotion to official wizard as soon as possible.
In order to achieve this goal, the biggest difficulty for Adil is to find those strange places.
After all, for him, an outsider, the situation in this world is completely dark, and it is definitely not efficient to look for those strange places alone.
Thinking of this, looking at the dangerous areas marked with red lines on the map, as well as the directions marked above, Adil quickly made a decision.
"Go all the way in the direction marked on the map, and if you can, it's best to try out the danger zones. ”
With a decision in mind, Adil put away his map and walked in the direction of the path to the side.
Beside him, Ariel was dressed in a dirty gray robe and carrying a large bag in her hand, and she consciously followed Adiel's footsteps.
After walking a long distance, it was not until it was nearly night that Adil stopped in one place and prepared for a rest.
They found a cave, and in the cold cave, Ariel skillfully set up matches and lit a fire with flint.
"My lord, would you like to eat some?"
After lighting the fire, Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out a few pieces of white plant rhizomes from the bag next to her, which seemed to have been washed cleanly.
Quietly glanced at Ariel on the side, looking at the things handed over by the other party, Adil had a calm face and took it casually.
"The test is complete, there is no toxicity..." In my head, the voice of the chip machine sounded.
Listening to the prompt sound of the chip, he glanced at Ariel on the side, and Adil took a bite.
The dry taste came from the mouth, with a thin sweetness, and swirled for a long time.
At night, Ariel curled up in a corner beside her, wrapped her gray robe tightly, and barely slept through.
The cave was already very cold, and she didn't have too many things on her body because she was in a hurry to chase Adil before, so she could only wrap up her clothes and endure the cold and sleep on the ground.
Outside, noisy voices are constantly coming, and this environment makes people feel a little oppressive.
Listening to the sounds outside, Adil stood up quietly and walked out.
As soon as I walked outside the cave, I was greeted by a figure more than three meters tall.
It was a three-legged, gray-haired, hideous wolf-headed monster slowly crawling towards the cave, apparently sensing the breath of a human inside.
When it saw Adier, it roared and rushed towards Adil at great speed, streaking a black shadow under the moonlight.
However, when it rushed in front of Adil, it suddenly flew upside down, and a depression appeared in its chest, and a little blood appeared on it.
In the next moment, a silver light flashed.
Adil stepped on the monster's chest, and blood slowly flowed from the black sword in his right hand.
Under him, the monster's breath of life had completely disappeared, and it was directly killed by him with a sword.
"The effect of the unknown energy was detected, and the subject's physical fitness began to improve. At this moment, the voice of the chip machine in my head sounded again.
Listening to the mechanical prompt in his mind and looking at his increased physical attributes, Adier's eyes showed joy: "It really works." ”
Through the detection of the chip, he clearly saw the growth of his body data, in addition to the growth of physical attributes, even the mental power has increased slightly.
This immediately relieved him.
Originally, Adil was worried that this unknown power could only enhance the body and could not affect the mental power, but now after getting the results, he can rest assured
"Since the power gained from killing these monsters can increase my mental power, then presumably that kind of crystal nucleus should be just as good. ”
Standing in place, looking at the scene in the distance, this thought flashed through Adiel's mind.
Although Adil did not know exactly what the unique power of this world was, he could record the exact nature of this power through a chip.
Through the detection of the chip, Adil understood that the power obtained by killing strange creatures was actually the same as the crystal nucleus obtained after destroying the weird, but the difference in strength was the same.
Therefore, since the power obtained by killing strange creatures can increase spiritual power, then the power contained in that crystal nucleus can naturally also be used.
This is undoubtedly good news for Adiel.
Gently putting away the long sword in his hand, Adil turned to look around.
With the good eyesight of the half-elf, even in the dark night, under the light of the thin moonlight, he could still see clearly.
In a wilderness outside the cave, as night fell, some creatures began to come alive, constantly moving around and making various sounds.
However, despite this, the number of mutated creatures in it is not very large, and it can be compared to the head under the feet of Adil, and there is no imaginary number of horrors.
Quietly watching this scene, Adier's face was calm: "It seems that even in this world, there are not many mutated monsters like this whose strength is comparable to that of a knight." ”
Compared to the large amount of energy contained in the crystal nucleus, the power obtained by this way of killing mutant monsters is very low, and for Adiel's current level, it is necessary to kill at least knights and above to have obvious effects.
