In a hidden cave, a badly wounded shrine maiden leans against a damp stone wall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This cave was accidentally discovered by a witch when she came out to play in the past. Although such a stone cave will definitely not be able to hide the insight of the strong, it is already extremely hidden for ordinary people.

The bleeding has stopped, but the wound caused by the other party is difficult to recover. It's not just the severity of the injury, but there seems to be some kind of curse on the opponent's weapon that prevents the wound from healing.

Curses are such a powerful thing as they have extremely terrifying power - if a truly strong person casts a curse, even planets can be cursed. And the curse of the shrine maiden is obviously not that kind of curse. According to the feeling of the shrine maiden, this curse should simply prevent the wound from healing, and there is still a big gap between the legendary Yellow Rose that has the treasure that will be lucky if you take it and the wound of the person who was stabbed will not recover at all.

It's not a powerful curse, but it's hard for a badly injured shrine maiden to remove it now—and it's hard to even feel it. But fortunately, the curse is not strong, even if it is slow, the wound is still slowly recovering. However, the wound, which had taken a while to heal, now I don't know how long it will take to fully heal.

"Cut ......," the shrine maiden muttered to herself unhappily, "I thought there was no conflict of interest, so I took the first step to show my strength in exchange for the opportunity to cooperate...... With a strong backing and with the same goals and no clear conflict of interest, such a short-term cooperation should not be a big problem...... I didn't expect that the most critical premise of no conflict of interest was wrong......"

"And it's the most troublesome conflict of interest...... My survival itself is a conflict of interest with the other party...... Ahem. Coughing up another mouthful of blood, the shrine maiden collapsed to the ground.

"What a failure...... "What a failure," the shrine maiden smiled wryly, and continued to sum up her experience to herself, "It seems that I still don't have enough experience in communicating with people...... If you take precautions...... At least it won't hurt so badly...... Sure enough, Sister Ling said that it still makes sense to go to school...... "It's all at this time, and the witch is still not thinking about what will happen if she is discovered, but about summing up her experience...... It's as if there is a certain escape.

In fact, the shrine maiden was not sure at all.

"Well...... Let's take a break. ”

Although there is no certainty of escape, this does not affect the character of the shrine maiden. Now that she thought of resting, the shrine maiden slowly closed her eyes, not even thinking about what to do if she was discovered.

"Not good!" As if suddenly thinking of something, the shrine maiden opened the purple eyes that had just been closed.

"That fluctuation just now...... Broken, town! The shrine maiden stood up anxiously, but almost collapsed again due to lack of strength.

"No...... Can it only be unblocked......" didn't have time to think too much, the witch hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of "unblocking": "Forget it...... Let's go to the town first......"

Relying on perseverance to force herself to fly, the shrine maiden did not dare to fly too high. Hide yourself in the woods and fly towards the town.

One by one, the figures of the people in the town appeared in the shrine maiden's mind.

The dome was in a hurry.

Sister Ling...... It's going to be fine!

――――――――――――――――――――

The spirit was still sitting in the chair it had been before.

Now the girl has doubts about her previous judgment.

"Why hasn't anyone come yet...... It's so boring, hurry up and come to someone, even if it's a villain! Muttering in frustration, Spirit almost banged his head against the wall.

"It's been at least six hours since I woke up...... Is it really good to leave a stunning beautiful girl here to fend for herself? The girl narcissistically continued to say to herself: "Are all the people who kidnapped me virgins!" ”

In fact, whether it is narcissism or self-talk, it is just a way to relieve loneliness.

I don't know how long I haven't eaten, the hunger and loneliness of being unaccompanied have filled the girl's heart, almost crushing the spirit of an ordinary person.

"It's annoying......"

Qiong, it's okay.

――――――――――――――――――――

At this time, above the town, the two teams that were engaged in a team battle were already fighting in the dark.

-- Or rather, a group of people and a person.

Although the middle-aged uncle's team has two third-order existences, and the other party only has one third-order assassin...... However, due to the assassin's stealth ability and annoying clone ability, the assassin who kills the strong and even the newcomers in the assassination team one by one is like kraft candy, not only annoying, but also impossible to get rid of. This behavior made the middle-aged uncle a little helpless, so he had to face off against the other party in the only open place he could find nearby, that is, in the center of the town.

However, most of the opposing team members are hiding, and only a few team members who are fast or difficult to kill are involved in the battle. As a result, the middle-aged uncle can't use the same method to kill the opposing team members to get points. So the so-called duel has also become a joke.

"The other party's style of play is too annoying, is there any way?" The middle-aged uncle stood on the empty road with a frown, and asked the glasses girl who was protected by the veterans around him.

"Holding that Assassin at bay is our victory." The girl in glasses gave a meaningless answer: "Or...... Find the other members of the other party. ”

"Can it be done?" The middle-aged uncle turned his head to look at the other person behind him, the other person was a cold young man who had never spoken. When the young man heard the middle-aged uncle's question, he thought for a while and gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes, the opponent can't break through our defenses. It's not very difficult to find the opposing team's players during this time. ”

"Then keep it up." The middle-aged uncle's eyes were resolute.

"There is a third way...... It's to exhaust the opponent's physical strength, like that...... Speech. The glasses girl's words suddenly paused, as if she had discovered something.

"Over there." The girl in glasses suddenly raised her hand and pointed at a person in the distance. The man was hiding in the shadows and didn't dare to come out, but he was still spotted by the girl with glasses whose eyes were too good to be good. That person was Uncle Iwaden, who had given the shrine maiden rice before.

"Character or enemy? Forget it, kill whatever it is. Muttering to himself, the middle-aged captain instantly appeared in front of Uncle Yanden.

"You ......" Uncle Iwaden's pupils constricted, and he looked at the middle-aged captain in horror.

"Ordinary people?" The middle-aged captain frowned and waved his hand.

The head flew up, still with a frightened look.

Blood splattered.

At the same time, the middle-aged captain has returned to the glasses girl: "It's just an ordinary person." ”

"It doesn't matter, if you don't know who you are, let's kill them all." The glasses girl's voice was cold: "After all, it's just a plot character." ”

"Well, I don't need you to teach me this truth." The middle-aged uncle smiled, but he also looked indifferent, as if he didn't treat the plot characters in their mouths as adults.

――――――――――――――――――――

Even with all her might, it took the shrine maiden nearly half an hour to fly to the vicinity of the town - not only the distance, but also the decline in strength caused by serious injuries was the main reason. The position that used to be accessible in a few minutes now took nearly ten times as long to reach, much to the shrine maiden's deep frustration.

"It's just an ordinary knife...... Even if there is a curse, it won't make my strength drop to the level of a natural disaster......" The shrine maiden felt the wound in confusion. Half an hour ago, no matter how it felt, it was an ordinary knife wound and an irreparable cursed wound, and half an hour later, the shrine maiden could already vaguely feel another force raging on her wound - no, not only on the wound, but also on the spiritual power that had been stagnant, it was obviously another direction of penetration of another force.

"The spiritual power that can be used now remains the same, but because of the curse and that inexplicable power, I can't control the spiritual power...... It seems that there is a spiritual curse......" The shrine maiden frowned and muttered quietly, unaware of the imminent arrival in the smoke-filled town.

Spiritual power is not an ordinary power, and it is not like the true qi in martial arts novels, and it will not be a big problem if it is exhausted. As the power of the soul, if there is no spiritual power, it will dissipate along with the spiritual power, and the existence itself - of course, it is not the disappearance of the existence of Xana, only the soul of this person will dissipate.

Because of this terrible side effect, the benefits of spiritual power are not only the strength of the soul caused by the increase of spiritual power, but also the situation of not being able to control one's own power because of the explosion of true qi in martial arts novels - because the soul itself is a way to control spiritual power, and the soul can increase with the growth of strength. Therefore, at any time, a cultivator of spiritual power can perfectly control his own power.

Except for two cases.

First, a special person who is born with strong energy. This kind of person is born with spiritual power that ordinary people can't compare with for some special reason, but the soul is the same as ordinary people. In this case, these people are not only unable to control the huge spiritual power, but they can't even feel it. Unless it is discovered by the strong, it will only be a lifetime.

Second, there is a problem with the soul. If the damage is so severe that even the soul can be affected or the soul is weakened for other reasons, it will lead to the inability to perfectly control one's powerful spiritual power.

And the above two situations are actually one kind of uncontrollable caused by the inability of the soul to match the spiritual power. To borrow a metaphor that is used many times, that is, a child playing with a big axe. However, a more vivid metaphor would be that children are born with a big axe; Or an axe that grows with its owner, but one day, the owner suddenly becomes a child. And forcibly using spiritual power that is many times stronger than the soul will also lead to the dissipation of the soul.

All this is just to illustrate that the damage suffered by the dome is enough to affect the soul.

The current shrine maiden has no confidence at all to deal with a few third-order people. It stands to reason that since the other party has started a war, the shrine maiden only needs to find a place to hide - but it is not only the witch's courageous nature that makes her not resign herself to fate, but more importantly, the people in the town...... In fact, when he thought of the townspeople, the dome had no intention of backing down.

"The operation of spiritual power is very problematic...... And because of the curse, it is estimated that even if the seal is lifted, it will not be able to mobilize too strong power, but it will be blown up by the power. The Dome continued to think about the combat power that might be available now. Although I don't know what the so-called unblocking means, I know on my toes that it must be an explosive fighting method...... Or it is a method that has serious side effects but can have a strong combat power that does not last long.

"Companion ......" The shrine maiden thought carefully for a long time, and she didn't expect to be able to help her companion at this time.

"Weapons...... There are still some spells. After thinking carefully for a long time, the witch had a flash of inspiration: "Even if I don't specialize in the witch's fighting methods and removing spirits or anything, I have done some things like charms." Although because of unskill, you can only succeed once out of ten times, and your power is limited...... But it might work wonders. ”

As if speaking to someone, the shrine maiden began to sum up.

"Because of the curse, the strength has shrunk severely, I'm afraid it's only a few tenths of what it used to be, which is about the late stage of the natural disaster level. In the case of spells, even the strongest ones were made when I was at the Cataclysm level, so they may not be as strong as my current strength. There will definitely be no helpers. Finally, there is the forced unblocking...... However, it is very likely that he could not control the powerful force and instantly exploded and died. "Thinking about it this way, the Dome doesn't feel the slightest possibility of rescuing the townspeople or defeating the town's three mountain-shifting levels.

"Ahhh The shrine maiden muttered frustrated as she flew towards the town.

Be duty-bound not to turn back.
