013 Back Mountain Trolls
"And from then on, we have become a demon who is connected to the life of the monster, and at the same time, we have also said goodbye to the original normal life, our body is mixed with substances that do not belong to this world, so it will be lost over time, and if you want to replenish this strange substance, you must enter that world to kill the strange monsters that operate there, so that our demons can plunder the magic elements scattered after the death of those monsters, and thus fill their own losses, Therefore, many people, even if they are not capable, will be forced to venture into the place when they are faced with the decay of their bodies day by day, and eventually die in that place - as long as they die there, then even their own existence will be swallowed up, and the memories related to you will gradually disappear from the memories of those who know you, and then everyone except Solomon's Key like us will eventually forget those who died here completely. The thought of not even having a person who remembers me if I die makes me cherish my own life and the lives of others even more. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The girl whose eyes reveal remembrance and sentimentality, and the haggard that can't help but be revealed in the strength of her words, make the teenager, who has always been in a mess, realize the most real cruel side of this world for the first time.
What's more, it is the amazement of Ye Kexin, who is obviously the same age as himself, but has a personality charm far beyond him, it is a kind of spiritual shock, strong and fragile are so perfectly and harmoniously integrated into Ye Kexin's body, and form an extremely unique charm, combined with the natural beauty of the girl herself, it has an indescribable huge impact on a half-grown child like Bai Ze.
"However, although we are faced with the fate of having to hunt in that world every once in a while, in fact, with this unique physique, we also have the ability to move and recover beyond ordinary people, and even if we continue to hunt, not only can our own quality grow at a speed beyond common sense, but also make people energetic, even if they study all day, they will not feel tired, and it is for this reason that I can be able to balance my studies and interests at the same time."
When she said this, Bai Ze suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard a classmate who was in the same class as Ye Kexin in elementary school mention that before the fifth grade, the other party's learning was actually not outstanding, and his personality was quite introverted and weak, but since the second half of the fifth grade, his grades suddenly began to improve by leaps and bounds, and his personality quickly became self-reliant and public, not only cleaning up the girls who originally bullied her because she saw her beautiful, but also quickly became a famous top student in the whole school - thinking of this, Bai Ze couldn't help but wonder if she might have entered this place many years ago.
And when he thought of this, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the other party's bravery, you must know that even just now he felt a little weak, and the girl in front of him had already experienced all this when he was four years younger than him, and had passed this hurdle!
"It's almost time, you go back to class first, wait for me in the atrium after school in a while, I will talk to you in detail, and you can also take this opportunity to calm down and think about your situation."
After that, the girl got up and left.
It can be seen that she seems to recall some bad memories, so if she wants to be quiet alone, Bai Ze will naturally not be so uninteresting and entangled.
However, in fact, the lunch break has only just started at this moment, and it seems that they have not spent much time walking in that world before.
After saying goodbye to the girl, Bai Ze didn't know where to go for a while, and after thinking about it, he walked towards the health room - after all, he had just seriously injured the other party before, so it was better to visit one or two.
"Wen Shuo, how are you feeling?"
After he entered, he saw that the other party had already undressed and covered the quilt on the bed, and he didn't know if he was too seriously injured and weak before, Bai Ze sat on the chair in front of the bed and asked with a slight feeling of weakness.
"Aze, I'm just out of strength for a while, it's not a big deal, to be honest, it's not strange that I have anemia or something like that."
The emaciated young man, who had already closed his eyes, replied loudly, judging by his weak voice, it was inevitable that he was really about to die.
However, his eyes were too flexible, and the young man who kept glancing at Bai Ze, who already knew a little about him, was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what he meant.
- This guy obviously wants to take advantage of this opportunity to skip class, judging from his record of absences and sick leave for more than a month in the last school year, he will never let go of the possibility of skipping class as long as he sees the opportunity, but with his grades, even if he doesn't go to class, there is no problem, so Bai Ze doesn't bother with any unnecessary leisure for his studies.
"It seems that your situation is really not good, you can rest here, and I will explain the situation to you if the teacher asks me later."
Bai Ze blinked, indicating that he had already understood the situation at the moment - he should have thought that according to the wisp of breath he had withdrawn at that time, the energy brought back was almost imperceptible, which meant that he had not actually lost much essence, even if it looked miserable before, but the loss of essence in ten minutes or so had already been made up by the body's natural recovery power.
"Well, thank you for sending me here."
"Isn't that what a friend should do?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Bai Ze's smile was meaningful, and the other party's smile was the same - after smiling at each other, Bai Ze said goodbye and left.
After leaving the health room, the teenager walked directly to the classroom, after all, he needed to organize the textbooks for the next class, and he had to go to the multimedia classroom in another building for the next class, so he had to prepare in advance.
Although he was delayed on the road for some time, he still rushed to the multimedia classroom before class, but his mind had already drifted to the meeting with Ye Kexin after school, and even the subsequent classes were confused and he didn't pay attention to it.
Speaking of which, it is naturally impossible for him not to be curious about the veil that belongs to that mysterious world that will be unveiled to him later, and therefore has a strong desire to explore, but he also has to take into account the danger and cruelty of that world, but because his situation is not the same as Ye Kexin's description, he can't feel at ease about the girl's explanation and comfort, he doesn't know if he will be forcibly summoned to that dangerous and strange world again for reasons beyond the other party's expectations, So for the accidents that may occur in the future, his best way to deal with them is naturally to learn as much as possible about the experience and skills of activities in that world, so as to ensure that even if an accident occurs, he can protect himself and escape with it!
finally persevered until the end of school time, and Bai Ze, who packed his schoolbag as soon as possible, immediately went outside to wait.
However, he didn't expect that Ye Kexin was not as idle as him, and it wasn't until the first wave of students who were in a hurry to participate in club activities were about to leave that the other party showed up from the teaching building.
"Sorry, waited a long time, didn't you? However, in order to avoid people's eyes, it is best not to be seen by too many people when we are together. ”
Saying this, Ye Kexin, who was holding a schoolbag, took Bai Ze in the direction of the main gymnasium of the junior high school - this hall is not only equipped with an indoor basketball court and tennis court, but also a gymnasium, a physical classroom and a table tennis room on the third floor, and on the first floor, there is an indoor swimming pool that covers a large area.
It's just that Ye Kexin took Bai Ze to this side, but it was not to enter these gymnasiums, but there was an escalator trail leading to the mountainside viewing platform and the astrology hall in the gymnasium, standing there you could overlook the landscape of the small half of the city, that is, there were hundreds of steps leading there, so since it was built, most people chose to go from the back side of the activity building at a comparable altitude and through the Xuankong corridor that was hundreds of meters long, and this "shortcut" with a total distance of less than 100 meters became uninteresting.
Of course, the reason why this trail is placed behind the gymnasium is that the students of those sports clubs are often so energetic that they have nowhere to vent, so there is no need to worry about no one using it here, and there is really a sports club in the school that uses this steep mountain path as an activity - when you see those boring people who climb quickly along the stairs, you will naturally remember the existence of this quirky race walking club that is not comparable to the "staircase club".
The reason why Ye Kexin brought Bai Ze here is precisely because the people here are the least in the school, only five or six kittens, compared to the bustling crowds in other places because of club activities and going home from school, it seems much quieter - more importantly, although there are few people here, it is not no one, so it is also worth ensuring in terms of safety.
The two of them were naturally not in a hurry to climb to the viewing platform at the top, so they chatted while walking, and stopped to rest from time to time, compared to the members of the mountain road club who were vaguely visible through the cover of the trees above and were tired like dead dogs and gritted their teeth to climb up, it was really much more comfortable.
"I think after an afternoon, you'll be able to wake up from the shock of being in another world and seeing demons—in that case, we can get down to business."
Hearing this, Bai Ze already had a vague speculation in his heart, but he still waited for the other party to speak.
"It's never enough to be alone in that world, so everyone needs the help of a companion, and even if you're a newcomer like you, you're not immune to a self-preservation senior, ......."
Taking these words as a starting point, Ye Kexin began to talk about the difficulties of working hard in that world, especially pointing out that Bai Ze, who had no reliable means of attack, faced a crisis that was times the reality of ordinary people.
And she also put forward the idea that she could team up with Bai Ze later, but it can be seen that the girl is still very wary of Bai Ze, so she is not ready to go together so simply, which makes the proposal seem logical.
“…… To prove that you have the ability to survive without holding anyone back, and more importantly, judgment and combat instincts, I've decided to give you an intensive training today. ”
After activating the hiding procedure according to her request, Bai Ze and Ye Kexin entered the other world together, looking at the red aura rolling around as if they were burned, Bai Ze couldn't help but sigh again for the unique landscape of this place.
"Now, let's go and look for the traces of the demons, but the purpose of this trip is not to fight them, but to carry out the most stealthy actions without attracting their attention."
Bai Ze didn't have anything to say about this test, after all, he had to learn how to survive in this world in the future - and with the girl by his side at the moment, he didn't really have to worry about not being able to solve the problem of what to do with those monsters at the moment.
It is like a reflection of the real world, and the only monsters that can move here are condensed by the spiritual fluctuations left over from the emotional activities of people in the material world under the influence of the law power of the shadow space, and the nature of these shadow creatures is determined by the power of the law that constructs them.
Because some of the laws that affect this place come from what humans call Hell, the monsters that arise can basically be called monsters - in fact, some people do call this place "Hell Front".
Speaking of which, it is really quite simple to find the traces of those monsters, because this is a school in the real world, and it is the area with the most intensive and intense spiritual activities, even if the legendary demon gods are formed here, it is not surprising that as long as it is the normal mental activity of dozens of people in a week, it is enough to meet the conditions for the formation of a low-level monster, and there are nearly six hundred students in this school alone, and the mental activities of junior high school students are more active than those of other ages, This means that there will never be a shortage of shadow creatures in this place - even with the coexistence of several shadow worlds at the same time, the shadow creatures in the space they are in at the moment are born at a much faster rate than in other regions.
And according to this situation, the reason why Ye Kexin brought Bai Ze to this place is clear - there are few people here, which makes the number of monsters that exist extremely limited, but there is no need to worry that there are too few monsters and you can't find a single one in half a day.
Just when the girl took the boy to look for the traces of the monster, although Bai Ze was also looking around, what he was looking for was completely different from the other party.
If you look closely at the boy's eyes, you will find that his cornea is covered with a layer of rainbow light, which allows his eyes to capture the subtle changes in the space from a visual point of view, and the disturbances and changes caused by the activities of many creatures in the space are also fully visible, and he can even capture the "sense of existence" produced by those moving creatures in the space as if they are dents that appear when a heavy object is placed on a sponge, and vaguely find the "sense of existence" produced by those creatures with souls It is more intense than the existence of other dead things or mental imperfections, perhaps only because of the peculiarities of this world, but the remnants of information produced by these biological activities are obviously longer and clearer than those that remain in this world.
When Bai Ze followed the girl's point and looked ahead, he almost didn't need to look hard, and saw a tall figure that could almost make people hold their breath at the viewing platform above his mouth, his gray skin was covered with pimple dark, and his bare head was covered with two huge eyes and a pair of big ears that made him look stupid and stupid, even though he was wearing a cardigan leather wallet and a pair of burlap shorts like a country villager, but anyone who looked at it knew the inhuman identity of this monster.
"This is a troll, an extremely stupid and dangerous bronze subspecies half-blood half-giant, it is said that since this troll was formed five years ago, it has killed countless monsters in this realm so far, according to the original seniors who were also trapped here, this troll was only two meters tall at first, but look at the present, its height has exceeded three meters, and look at its thick muscles and thick skin like elephant skin, it can be said that its strength is more than three times stronger than at the beginning - but also because of its existence, The dangerous high-level monsters in the school almost never come over, which also makes it impossible to worry about monsters beyond our ability to operate here, and this troll is so stupid that it is much easier to hide from it. ”
Of course, such a dangerous monster could not be the test object chosen by the girl for Bai Ze, even Ye Kexin herself never had the idea of challenging this monster, and even in order to warn Bai Ze not to move her mind because of the stupidity of the troll, she also specifically listed a wasteland clearing action of the seniors who were about to graduate just a few months ago.
At that time, the three seniors each had a demon that was more powerful than Ye Kexin's little banshee Ero, and there were also a lot of special props accumulated by killing monsters, so they moved their minds to push off this lord-level monster that seemed to be the best to deal with before leaving--At this moment, Bai Ze also learned that almost after the monsters here are killed, there will be a chance to form props with special effects, and the more powerful the monster is, the more powerful and bizarre the items formed by the monsters, and what items can be exploded by a lord-level monster, For Bai Ze at this moment, it is unimaginable.
At that time, they had already made a plan in place, and they could guarantee that several people could launch more than five consecutive rounds of attacks without fear of being counterattacked—for the damage possessed by those few demons, even high-level demons could be killed in such a long time, and in their opinion, even lord-level demons would be seriously injured.
But as a result, even no one expected, the surprise attack they launched did not even completely break the natural defense and spell resistance of the troll's skin, and when the troll discovered their whereabouts and launched an attack on them, these people didn't even last three minutes before they were directly defeated, fortunately they had prepared emergency escape means just in case, so the three of them only paid the price of one disabled and two seriously injured to escape "safely", and fortunately, it was so, This is a warning to a large group of people not to target this monster anymore.
