"And after eating the fruit, you will become addicted, and the more you eat, the more addictive you will become, and if you are not strong in willpower, you will be willing to do anything to eat the fruit. In fact, in order to eat the fruit, there are not a few people who go bankrupt and die. ”

After Kyoko finished speaking, the atmosphere became silent, and the sound of breathing and heartbeat seemed to be audible.

Yi Xiaorou secretly swallowed her saliva, looking scared and happy.

But if this fruit is really as Apricot said, it is not useless, and it is useless to get it back in vain.

"Then is this fruit really no good at all?" Zuo Chen asked unwillingly.

"Of course there is, and the benefits are great! As long as you eat the fruit, you can greatly improve your physique and spirit, although you can only improve it once. ”

Saying this, Apricot's stern gaze swept over the two of them, and the meaning was self-evident.

"I won't eat it!" Yi Xiaorou shook her head in affirmation, and then looked at Zuo Chen again.

"Got it! I got it!" Under the gaze of Yi Xiaorou and Apricot, Zuo Chen finally relented.

"That's good. Apricot seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her tone changed, as if she asked casually.

"How many adventures are you at? ”

Adventure level?Zuo Chen thought for a moment before he understood what Apricot meant.

"Xiaorou and I are both only at level 3. ”

"Level 3!" there was a hint of loneliness in Kyoko's words.

"Is there something wrong, Sister Apricot?" asked Yi Xiaorou suspiciously.

"Nothing, just asking!" Kyoko smiled and cleaned up the mess after dinner.

"I'm here to help, too!" Yi Xiaorou said.

The next day at dawn, in front of the hotel.

"That's it, Sister Kyoko. Zuo Chen left the hotel with Yi Xiaorou.

"Yes!" Kyoko watched the two leave.

Enjoy and enjoy, the two will not give up becoming stronger because of gentleness, after all, they do not belong to this world, and they will not be completely integrated into it anyway, and only when they become stronger can they have a chance to go home.

Tonight is the night of the battle, and in order to become more familiar with the forest at night, the two are going to spend the night in the forest, for which Kyoko also prepares two servings of food.

Far from the forest somewhere in the village, two figures sped through the grass, a fierce beast in hot pursuit.

The beast is a giant ape, and it hunts the two of them as prey, but it doesn't know that the two of them also take it as prey.

The giant ape was getting closer and closer, and it was about to catch up, its sharp claws emitting a cold light.

"Xiaorou!" Zuo Chen called, turned around and turned around with the shield in front of him, and rushed towards the giant ape.

The shield blocked the giant ape's claws, and the two collided together, and Zuo Chen's short sword slashed across the giant ape's left arm, and blood splattered.

The giant ape howled in pain, increasing the strength in his hand, Zuo Chen gradually couldn't resist it, his hand was a little numb, and the shield was almost unable to hold it.

"Ah~" Zuo Chen raised his shield and attacked hard, blocking the giant ape's vision while flicking off his two sharp claws.

When Zuo Chen sat on the ground because of the power of the giant ape, Yi Xiaorou behind him was exposed, but it didn't matter that the opportunity had come, Yi Xiaorou stabbed out a short sword, and the tip of the sword went straight to the heart of the giant ape, penetrating through.

"Bang Dang"

The corpse of the giant ape fell to the ground, and Zuo Chen gasped heavily, obviously not as relaxed as he seemed. The corpse of the giant ape slowly drifted away, and the two smiled tacitly.

This is not just a victory, the giant ape is the existence at the top of the forest food chain, and being able to kill it means that the two of them have the ability to survive in the forest, and it is also a proof of becoming stronger.

The giant ape will not make Zuo Chen and the others proud, it is far from it! They still need to work hard, no matter how they exercise, it is essential.

Killing the giant ape only gives you some experience points, what an item! crystal coins! completely invisible.

Continuing to walk in the forest, I encountered many wild beasts, and there were many battles, but only two beasts were successfully killed, and the rest all fled, and they couldn't catch up if they wanted to.

In the forest, there were grass and trees everywhere, and many wild beasts and poisonous insects were hiding inside, causing Yi Xiaorou and Zuo Chen to be attacked many times along the way.

The forest is not a simple place, it is a microcosm of the world. It's not as simple as having a lot of power to survive, it's just that it's easier to survive.

"Hah~"

Zuo Chen swung his Aoki shield and hit the head of a snake with the shield surface. Ever since he bought Aoki's shield, he's been imagining how to use it for attack and defense.

And it is also used in actual combat, both in terms of the time of attack and the way the body exerts force. Starting from the feet, the calves, thighs, waist, chest, and breath are all consciously controlled and used.

With so much effort, the reward is also quite large, although it is difficult to use, and the speed is not very fast, but anyone who is attacked head-on is basically powerless.

So Zuo Chen taught Yi Xiaorou to fight like this. And with the battle, Zuo Chen is also much more familiar with the use of his body.

Swinging the Aoki shield again and again, blocking all the attacks of the giant ape, the ferocious attack made it impossible for him to even fight back.

Yi Xiaorou could only wait for the opportunity to move on the sidelines, not daring to step forward easily, that is, she was worried that Zuo Chen would not be able to disrupt the plan, and more importantly, Zuo Chen did not ask her for help.

After struggling to resist the claws of the giant ape, Zuo Chen gradually became accustomed to its ferocious and swift attacks, and each swing of the Aoki shield became faster and faster, more and more fluent and smooth.

Slowly, Zuo Chen felt that his body was very hot and full of strength, as if every muscle in his body could barely be controlled.

Even the giant ape's attack seemed to slow down in his eyes, and his claws flashed at him with a cold light. Almost subconsciously, he swung the Aoki shield vigorously, faster and lighter than before. The shield emitted a faint glow, like a meteor at night.

"Ah~"

The beast was knocked away by the shield, and Yi Xiaorou finally found an opportunity, and without Zuo Chen's warning, quickly approached the giant ape and cut off its head as quickly as possible.

With the screams of death, a system prompt appeared in front of Zuo Chen.

【Comprehension Skill: Shield Strike】

"Ha~ha~ha~" After using the shield strike, Zuo Chen was tired and lay on the ground tired, and even gasped a little hard.

"Brother Chen!" Yi Xiaorou didn't stop for a moment after killing the giant ape, and came directly to Zuo Chen's side.

"I~It's okay~Huhu~" Zuo Chen replied with difficulty.

"Yes!" Yi Xiaorou sat down beside him gently, observing her surroundings from time to time in case a wild beast appeared.

In fact, every time she saw Zuo Chen come forward to fight alone, she blamed herself, thinking that she was weak and dragged Zuo Chen back.

She is not a qualified teammate, and many times she has to let Zuo Chen protect her, and she can't successfully protect his back every time.

Therefore, now, when she saw Zuo Chen, who was so tired on the ground, all kinds of previous thoughts surfaced, and her heart would be as painful as if she was stirred by a knife. She vowed: she must become stronger, and then protect him like Zuo Chen protected her.

It was her determination, and she could pay any price for this vow.
