Chapter 15: The Meaning of Battle

A cold light swept by, and a skeleton surging towards the daring turned to powder.
Guo Zixiang gently pushed the obviously smaller iron helmet on his head, a red mark had already appeared next to his head, he touched the hot sweat on his face, looked at the scattered white bones in front of him, and finally showed a smile.
At this time, there was an inopportune rumbling sound in his stomach, and he shook his head helplessly, and it was the familiar time to start the meal again.
Ever since he came here, every energy in his body seemed to be in Kane's hands, and every day he was dictated how many skeletons he had to knock down before he could eat. And he did what the other party said, and sure enough, every day his stomach would make a noise at the right time, and he didn't need to be supervised at all.
Thinking of this, Guo Zixiang was ready to go back, he raised the axe in his hand, looked at the row of gaps on the axe blade, and threw it aside, although these weapons obtained from the skeleton can be found at any time, but because of the age, it seems to be overwhelmed, and it will be damaged if it can't kill a few skeletons at all. Fortunately, these skeletons have no IQ and can be easily eliminated even with brute force.
As he walked, Guo Zixiang suddenly felt that something on the ground was grabbing his feet. Without even thinking about it, he directly raised his grabbed foot and crushed the skull head on the ground. After feeling the power restraining him disappear, he continued to walk in the direction of temporary rest without looking back.
After all, this is not the first time Guo Zixiang has encountered such a thing.
It only took him seven days to go from panicking at the beginning to now calmly solving this obstacle in his way. And in the past seven days, he has eliminated at least tens of thousands of skeletons. However, the number of skeletons still feels like it's not decreasing.
Soon, Guo Zixiang returned to the campfire, Kane just tasted it with a spoon, let out a staggering sound, heard footsteps behind him, and said: "You came back at the right time, this meal is also the best time to eat, come and taste it." ”
"When didn't you say that, I feel like you're like a roundworm in this land, no matter when I come back, you're just ready to cook and wait for me. But do you really think this oatmeal is delicious, to be honest, it's the worst thing I've ever eaten in my life. ”
Guo Zixiang took off the rusty armor on his body, threw it on the ground, sat down directly, took the broken bowl handed over by the other party, and began to feast, he was really hungry.
One thing he felt glad about now was that his black tracksuit, which was said to have been made by the instructor Vulcan himself, was made of unknown materials, and it didn't get a little dust, which was the only evidence that he could prove that he was from a civilized society.
"This kind of thing can replenish the energy in your body to the greatest extent, and it is said to be an experiment in the tissue, but it is probably the reason for the effect, and there is not much thought about the taste. However, in this kind of place, even if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, I'm afraid you will taste the same as chewing wax, not to mention that the cost of delivering materials is relatively large, and it would be good to have oats for you. If you don't want to eat it, you can go to the ground and pick up a few bones to stew. ”
Kane finished his bowl with three strokes and five divisions, and counted as he continued to fill his bowl.
"That's just as well."
Guo Zixiang thought that when he ate on the first day, the battlefield around him was even the battlefield that had just been fought, and the ground was full of bone fragments and powder, and a gust of wind blew, and he even accidentally swallowed a lot of bone meal, which made him sick to his stomach for a while, vomiting and diarrhea. But now, he seems to have long been used to this kind of life.
Is this a kind of growth?
From a peaceful and stable ordinary person, to a precarious life now, he falls asleep listening to the sound of weapons every night, and is always ready to swallow all kinds of things that float in the wind when he eats every day, there are no entertainment facilities, no Internet, no electricity, and even water has to be carried back to a lake several kilometers away.
Is this really the life I want?
Guo Zixiang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Kane, who was immersed in eating, suddenly found that there was no sound around him, raised his head and looked at Guo Zixiang, just in time to see his dazed and unknown face. So he put down the bowl in his hand, knocked Guo Zixiang's head with a spoon, attracted his attention, and said.
"I didn't expect you to come so late in this period, and you are dull enough! In fact, I have been watching you for the other day to see when you will feel bored and empty. It's just that you don't know if it's because the nerves are too big, or if you're already happy to fight monsters in this RPG mode, but there is no change at all, and I almost thought that there was a problem with my perception of the world. But now it seems that I really think too much. ”
"What period?"
Guo Zixiang saw that the other party mentioned his current state, and he had long predicted that he would have such a change, and from that facial expression, it seemed that there was a solution, so he hurriedly asked.
"I call it the window period, and it's like a soldier going into battle, and he's likely to charge forward with his robes for the first time, and then do what he's trained to do, and kill the enemy. But when he comes to his senses, his mind will become a chaos, and he will feel lost, not knowing what the meaning of his life is. Especially the kind of war that has heavy casualties. ”
Guo Zixiang thought about it carefully, he seemed to have such a feeling, whether it was fighting with the middle-aged woman who drove the rat before, or fighting with the group of villains who did evil, it could only be regarded as a small fight. And now, killing skeletons day after day is a difficult task that can be called a battle.
"So what should I do?"
"Everyone's solution is different, but first you have to find out what the point of what you're fighting for. Like me, I'm fighting to purify the land, so I feel a sense of satisfaction every time I kill a skeleton. I don't know why you're a hero, but I can tell from the look in your eyes that it's a firm conviction, even greater than my ambition to purify this land. ”
"Is there a point in fighting?"
Guo Zixiang silently recited these words in his heart. In fact, he had been indoctrinated with a lot of things by Hongyi before he came to the Land of Bones, but he had been avoiding that conversation.
That conversation about Him being God.
Maybe I really have great strength and am about to face a powerful enemy, but am I really up to the task of saving the world now? That kind of battle is enough to affect the whole world, no, it can't be described as a battle anymore, it should be a war. In the future, I will have to face such an enemy, if I can't defeat it, not only my life, but even the whole world will be destroyed, is this what I can do?
"Uncle Kane, if there is one thing that is difficult for a person to do, and even cannot do it with all his might, then how on earth should he accomplish it?"
Guo Zixiang decided to seek the answer to the question from the person in front of him, and after so many days, he realized more and more that the other party was definitely not an ordinary D-class hero. Not only was it enough to subdue his powerful strength based on the other party's conversation and laughter, but also because he could see a few glimmers of essence in Kane's eyes from time to time, which he had seen in the eyes of Xuan, who was as high as a god.
If he guessed correctly, Kane and Xuan should be the same kind of people.
"Instead of lamenting the difficulty of the road, it is better to set off immediately."
"Hah, what do you mean by that?"
"Since you can't predict how many twists and turns there will be on the road, you just know that it can be difficult, so why not just take your steps? There is no road in this world, and when there are many people walking, it becomes a road. If a person only wants to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, then he will definitely not achieve great things. Only with the idea of creating the future can you become a person who is enough to change the world. ”
"But what if the previous path was all designed step by step?"
Guo Zixiang is really still haunted by his previous situation, and he even scolded the god who designed his life trajectory countless times in his heart, and he couldn't help but question after listening to Kane's words.
"There are no two identical leaves in this world, and you think you are someone else, but in fact it is all your imagination. Even if two people are born at the same time, have the same family, grow up in the same environment, or even look exactly the same, it is impossible for the hearts of the two of them to be completely close. But the first thing you have to find is, what exactly is your own path in life? ”
Kane said more in one day today than he had in a week before, and every sentence seemed to be serious.
Under the influence of this penetrating discourse, Guo Zixiang couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Is he really a stand-in for some so-called god?
This is something he has always cherished before, and because of this, he made a vow in his heart that he would not use the power in his body unless his life was in danger.
Now that I think about it, if I can use this power to save the people I want to save and change the things I can change, isn't that also moving forward according to my own wishes? You may really be branded by someone since you were born, but aren't your thoughts, your own hearts, all controlled by yourself? Power is a weapon, and you are the one who drives the weapon, and the only thing to do now should be to keep working hard to save the world.
"Thank you, Uncle Kane, I'm no longer confused. I've found the meaning of my fight, which is to be a hero who saves the whole world. This is also what I have always wished. ”
Guo Zixiang stood up, straightened his waist, and shouted with a clenched fist at the sky.
"Very good, sure enough, your ambitions are bigger than mine, but you are far from qualified now, and you need to work harder."
"Yes, uncle."
"Then, you can add a thousand more skeletons to your combat mission tonight."
"Huh? Then I don't want to sleep. ”
"Who made you the hero who saved the world!"
The voice rang far and wide in the empty wilderness, almost resounding throughout the Land of Bones.
