Volume 1 The Small-Town Boy Chapter 38 Investigation Situation

The sun is already setting in the west, signaling the end of the day. The Night Forest was still hazy, and it didn't react in the slightest because of the beautiful sunset.

Horses only become unnecessary victims in dangerous places, so they are stored among the horses long before the group encounters a supper. And the amazing thing is that no matter what kind of boundary you are in, there is always this kind of place similar to a post station, and you can go to other post stations with a number plate to extract fast horses of the same level.

After Ling Chen and his party solved the night owl, they hurried non-stop, and it seemed that something big was about to happen. Ling Chen was already a little overwhelmed by this high-intensity acceleration, if it weren't for Liang Hanshuo taking Ling Chen on the road many times, I'm afraid he would have fallen behind.

They had been marching all day, aiming for the northeast of the Night Forest. There are garrisons of the Peace Alliance, which serve as a transit point between the Tanglin Domain and the Southern Wasteland. The purpose of countless caravans entering the Night Forest is here, because it is strong enough to guarantee its strength. Together with the troops, they can reach the Aventurine Domain. And the actions of Ling Chen and his party also mean the end of the exploration adventure in the Night Forest and the beginning of the official mission.

"At this rate, we can arrive tomorrow. Uncle Li, who was on the move, came up with this sentence for no reason, breaking the silence of the team for a long time.

"Be vigilant at night. Liang Hanshuo said.

This sentence is a reminder to everyone on the march, and it is also a reminder to Daqing and a few others who are exploring the way.

After a while, Daqing, who was in charge of the front investigation, returned to the team to report the situation.

"It's the same situation, there is no trace of any demon beasts. After Daqing said this, he wanted to go to the front to continue exploring, but was stopped by Liang Hanshuo.

"It's useless to go to reconnaissance again, just be on guard around, and notify you as soon as there is any trouble. Monkey, call the medicine jar back to the team as well. ”

"No. Uncle Li said.

"Without outside information, we will lose the opportunity and become extremely passive. Uncle Li was still as conservative as ever, even though he knew it was to unite the squad. Afraid of encountering an unexpected situation and losing the eyes of the team.

"The situation here is so weird that it's different from what it used to be, and you have to be careful. Liang Hanshuo shook his head, saying that he did not agree with Uncle Li's conservative strategy.

"The danger will increase after nightfall, I still agree with Uncle Li's opinion. Zhou Hong also became extremely serious in front of business, and with that oily face, he didn't feel that it had any effect.

"But when the medicine jar comes back, with those strange things of his, the ability to save life will also increase a few points. ”

Liang Hanshuo is also worried about Daqing, any mistake by anyone in the team is unacceptable to him, as a captain, which is also due to the trust and obedience of the team members.

"Good. Liang Hanshuo nodded simply, not making superfluous words.

The medicine jar converged with the team, handed Daqing some strange bottles and cans, and the paper talisman team hit the road again, but no longer at full speed. They would stop every half an hour, waiting for Daqing to meet up with the team and report the information. There must be someone else on the road to pick you up, otherwise a person's safety cannot be guaranteed.

The night is long, and Ling Chen is bored. Taking advantage of the leisure to report the situation again, he squatted aside and was distracted.

There is a thick fog that obscures the view during the day, and it is still a thick fog at night, but even the fog is not clear. The quiet environment always makes people distracted and cranky.

Why did Ling Chen be so keen to discover the night owl's conspiracy and take it down in one fell swoop? There was a voice in his head that might not be called a voice, because Ling Chen didn't hear anything. It's an invisible guide for him to follow and react accordingly. Including Ling Chen's attack on Daqing, and the last blow where the night owl hid. Is this self-awareness, or is it invisibly controlled by someone?

Thinking of this, Ling Chen unconsciously thought of the mini beast in the dantian.

"Could it be it?" Ling Chen shook his head secretly, it wasn't that he hadn't tried to communicate with this little beast, but it didn't have any effect at all. Ling Chen's premonition must have something to do with it. He doesn't like this feeling of ** control, even subconsciously, even if it's good for himself. However, Ling Chen is not worried, although he is a little resistant, he has not touched his bottom line after all, at least for now.

What the second uncle left him, a big sword, a rusted big sword. He couldn't remember how he got the sword, or if it was a rusty sword in the first place. But why did the second uncle leave a rusty sword for himself, the holy weapon, which was sealed.

"Hehe, young man, imagination is still very good. Ling Chen laughed to himself.

Thinking about it nonsense, Ling Chen was also trying to plan for his future.

Now I am studying with my eldest brother for two months and doing some field experience. Then he and the team began to compete in the academy, as for whether they could enter the four courtyards, Ling Chen didn't know.

In just a few days, Ling Chen's life has undergone a huge change, and at the age of fourteen, he also has a realistic understanding of some things. But for the sake of commitment, he had to work hard. Now he only has this one goal in his heart, and he doesn't need too many goals in life, just have a firm direction, and don't make people feel confused in life.

He was very sure that the memories of the past were all sealed by the second uncle, although he inadvertently rushed away a little, but it was still only an incomplete and sporadic fragment. He didn't know why the second uncle did this, did it make him more troubled?

He remembers a few good friends, remembers the eldest brother, remembers everyone. But I can't remember many things. But he remembered that image, which kept coming back to his mind.

It was a little girl in white with pear blossoms and rain, and she kissed him lightly on the cheek. He seemed to be able to feel that tenderness, that throbbing.

"You must come to me..."

The voice that had not dissipated for a long time echoed, and every time it hurt into his heart, making Ling Chen feel suffocated.

He really wondered if he was who he was sometimes. Why can I not care, and why I am here to reminisce about the past. What was everything before, what I experienced, all the memories are only from the pictures in that test. It came to his mind over and over again, wanting to think about it, but there was nothing else, so that Ling Chen kept doubting its authenticity.

Sometimes the pain is heart-wrenching and unbearable. Sometimes, it doesn't matter, even if it is related to oneself, how much loss will it bring? However, these two diametrically opposed manifestations are only a recent emotion, an emotion that feels that you are awake, and your previous life is like a dream, muddy.

"Whew..."

Take a deep breath of cold air, in the early spring season, some grass and trees are fresh. Exhale out a breath of turbidity, as if the whole body is relaxed. Suppressing all kinds of things in your heart makes people sober again.

Smacking his somewhat dry mouth, Ling Chen got up and came to Liang Hanshuo's side to listen to them discuss some details of this mission.

It turned out that this mission was to go to the Tanglin Domain to hand in the task. The water blue disc that was hunted last time was still here with Liang Hanshuo and others, and the dealer had been waiting for a long time. And after arriving in the Tanglin Domain, there is also a task to assist in hunting beasts, although the reward is not so rich, but it is also a incidental move. You can still earn some money after handing in the task, and you won't risk running in vain.

Told the matter of acting at night again, and after Daqing left, the team hurried again.

Liang Hanshuo suddenly turned his head and asked Ling Chen.

"Xiaochen, how do you think we can call survival?"

A very general question. So Ling Chen blurted out without thinking.

"If it's survival, it's all about it. ”

"Hmm..." Liang Hanshuo nodded, thought for a moment, and agreed with this answer.

"If you were on the verge of survival, hungry and without any other source of food, would you choose to eat anything you don't want to eat?" Liang Hanshuo asked again.

Hearing this, the other members of the team all showed expressions of understanding, and there was a little more banter on their faces inadvertently.

Ling Chen thought about it together.

"What you don't want to eat? It should be some disgusting or out-of-the-way food, which I don't want to eat in normal times. Does my eldest brother want to exercise and I don't want to eat, or is he just trying to disgust myself?"

Ling Chen said with this question: "If it doesn't affect and hurt my current state, I will eat." ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Although this son is young, he has a good way of speaking. They knew what Liang Hanshuo was going to do next, which was nothing more than to take out a bug or some dark ingredient for Ling Chen to eat, in the name of trying and adapting in the future.

The next step was to preach, "Young people, have you seen how miserable the outside world is?" So you have to study hard, have the strength in the future, and be a small steward in a region. Even the flowers in the greenhouse are much better than those of them who beg for a living on the tip of a knife. "The traditional routine is nothing more than that.

Ling Chen's words cut off all Liang Hanshuo's next steps. I'm sorry, eating this thing will affect my state, and I'm on the verge of survival, which is undoubtedly a very stupid thing to do. Therefore, Ling Chen does not eat.

"Hehehe..." Liang Hanshuo smiled a little embarrassed, with a look of mystery, his hand took out a small dark green fruit from the Qiankun bag and put it on the palm of his hand.

"Well, the cool fruit, it is necessary for printing and repairing. Pinggui's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the thing in Liang Hanshuo's hand at a glance.

This is a fruit that has the effect of refreshing the mind and awakening the mind, and after the high-intensity casting of the printing method, symptoms such as dizziness and listlessness will appear. At this time, eating a cool fruit will greatly alleviate this symptom, and it is indeed a must-have for Indian repair. However, this fruit also has a big drawback, and that is the taste. With just a light bite, the pulp instantly sprays out, and the strong cold impact hits the taste buds, and then bursts into a sour taste that can make people sour their teeth. The experience of the brain is even more incomparable, it is like being held by someone who has shaken the head hundreds of times, and the brain is a mush, which makes people sick and disgusting.

It may seem serious, but it's just a momentary experience. After that, there will be a kind of freshness after the rain, and I feel that all the discomfort has disappeared, and the whole person has become lighter.

Nowadays, few people will buy this kind of fruit, because they are all used as the main ingredient for refining Qingshen Pill, and one Qingliang Fruit is enough to refine several Qingshen Pills, and the price of the two is almost the same. Comparatively speaking, the side effects of Qingshen Pill are much less. In a sense, there is only one side effect. That is to develop drug resistance, which is the problem of the century that all pills cannot avoid.

Obviously, Liang Hanshuo took out this fruit, and his intention was obvious.

"Looks like I can't eat something today. Ling Chen thought.

Then he reached out and took the cool fruit in Liang Hanshuo's hand and wanted to put it in his mouth.

At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded in the distance. Immediately afterward, a huge white firework burst into the sky, illuminating everyone's cheeks. Then one after another, I don't know how many fireworks burst into the sky. Their faces were a little pale, and they didn't know if it was the fireworks or something that made them so.

Ling Chen took advantage of this gap and instantly received the cool fruit into the storage ring. Before he could secretly breathe a sigh of relief, he was picked up from his lower armpit by Liang Hanshuo and rushed out in an instant.

In the distance, the beast roared and shook the sky.
