Chapter 21: The Heart of Return

Well, I was wrong, it's the seventy-fifth layer, doing a self-examination here

I chose Sword as my second novel out of a hobby, but I would have liked that Sword would only be available in anime and manga rather than in a novel

All the way forward, the wind and sand are unimpeded.

The wasteland that can not be seen at a glance is called the Land of Sighs, since stepping on this land, the team has only encountered a scorpion-type monster, the size of a wolf, quite difficult, especially the speed of the scorpion's tail needle piercing out of the scorpion is very fast, except for Xiangkong has a way to dodge, the rest of the people have all been hit.

Fortunately, this scorpion-type monster has an empty skin, and the tail needle does not have toxins, and I don't know what the original intention of Lu Dao was to design this kind of monster, but if the tail needle contains toxins, at the speed of stabbing out, few people can dodge it.

I walked forward for a long time without stopping, until night was approaching, and finally I saw the outline of the safe zone in the distance, a town made of sand.

The entire town is built from the dirt of the wasteland, and when you enter the town, you can only see reddish-brown except for the white clothes worn by the NPCs.

Xiangkong looked around, full of interest.

The eleventh floor is full of exotic atmosphere, which has never been witnessed in film and television works, and I don't want to be there this time, but the rest of the people are the same.

It is rare for people in modern society to visit such a desolate place, and the privilege of being here is full of novelties for them.

Asa would have liked to spend an extra day in town, but he had given up on exploring the maze a day earlier.

Since when did it start, the fast pace of life has also been brought into Ayn Grant, and since the action of the boss of the raider layer has been launched, the players on the front line have been non-stop and have never stopped.

Shortly after entering the town, night fell, and the density of monsters in the Land of Sighs was not high, but the spawn interval was very short, so it was not suitable for leveling up at night.

The group hastily found a restaurant to fill their stomachs, and after that, Zhan Lan went out of the town alone in the night to practice, even if Asa spoke out about the shortcomings of the Land of Sighs, it could not shake his decision.

Looking at Zhan Lan's departing figure, Asa's eyes were slightly complicated, the frustration of the last time seemed to make Zhan Lan a little unfamiliar, he sighed without a trace, and then suggested to his teammates: "Walk around before the break to see if you can get rare tasks, and also, gather at six o'clock tomorrow morning, so be it." ”

Fei Lang and Yaz, who had long been unable to hold back their temperament, were so happy that they ran away after a while, and Asa smiled bitterly.

"Watermelon head, what about you?"

Hearing this, the watermelon head glanced up at Asa and said lightly, "I'll go to the hotel." ”

Assa, who was anticipating this answer, nodded, then turned his head to look at Xiangkong, and said with a smile: "Xiangkong, come with me for a walk." ”

Xiangkong was quite surprised, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could get a better task, but it seemed that there was no way.

After saying goodbye to the watermelon head, Xiangkong and Asa walked side by side on the street, and every NPC they met was full of enthusiastic smiles on their faces, but unfortunately their eyes were empty, but they made people feel that the enthusiastic smile was a gesture.

"I really don't know if I should hate this world, or thank this world."

Asa's gaze moved with the NPCs walking by, and this bold man had a rare look of gloom on his face.

I haven't seen a player since I entered the town, and the streets, roadsides, and shops are full of natives, a bunch of people made of data.

Xiangkong looked at Asa's side face thoughtfully, and said, "Let's take a little bit of each." ”

"Indeed, this place is so real, if it weren't for being confined here, I would have fallen in love with this place, with every plant and tree here, everything." Asa was serious, but heartfelt.

He loves it, but he wants to leave it even more.

"Why shouldn't I?" thought to him.

I can't love deeply, but I do get a lot here.

If you hadn't come here, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to taste all kinds of food in your lifetime, let alone walk through so many places and see a lot of customs.

Even if the land under your feet is at this moment, can you have this opportunity in that world?

Xiangkong felt the same way, and he couldn't help but say: "I always dream of playing the game of virtual reality, but I want to leave here and return to the original world. ”

"That's why you're joining the Blood Alliance?" Asa smiled, but couldn't make out the meaning of Xiangkong's words.

Xiangkong's eyes were suddenly confused, and he smiled forcefully: "Yes, maybe you can't go back, in short, one step at a time." ”

Asa thought that Xiangkong said this because of the matter of the Knight Alliance, glared at him, and said: "Don't say such sad words, believe me, like the Knight League's strategy this time, the result is definitely not like this at every level, and as long as I am here, I will definitely not let you die first." ”

Xiangkong laughed from the bottom of his heart, he met Asa's gaze, and said seriously: "That's not good, I can't go back, if you can't go back, what will happen to your family?" ”

"How do you know the way?" Asa was taken aback, but he wasn't surprised for long, although he never mentioned anything in reality, but with his age, even if he didn't mention it, others could tell that he was married.

Xiangkong retracted his gaze, looked at the street in front of him, and said with a smile: "You like to travel very much." ”

The surprise in Asa's eyes deepened, and he was about to ask, but he heard Xiangkong say, "I guess." ”

"Accurate!" Asa gave a thumbs up and said: "I'm ashamed to say that my dream when I was studying was to travel all over the world, but after I entered the society, I didn't even go to my own country, and after I got married, I was even weaker. ”

Xiangkong said softly: "There are always a few people who stick to their dreams. ”

Asaha laughed and laughed for a while and gradually stopped.

"Do you know the way? I'm starting to regret having that dream that I'm here today. ”

Xiangkong couldn't help but be silent, and Asa laughed again, it was a bitter smile, he suddenly stopped, looked at a family of three a few meters away, and said: "In another month, my child will be born, but I can't be by her side." ”

Xiangkong also stopped, and he saw Asa's fist clenched tightly and tightly.

"Even though it's the view I've always dreamed of, I want to go back to them."

"Don't worry, that day will come." Xiangkong said with great certainty.

"Well said." Asa put away his wry smile and slowly loosened his fist, he has never been a pessimistic person, and he was able to sit in the position of the captain of the Blood Alliance Strategy Group because of his strong desire to go back.

The slowly released fist is such a mood in the air.

Everyone in the strategy group has a good reason to return to reality, and they are working hard for it, just want to return to the real world as soon as possible, because there are their concerns.

And I... In the original world, there is nothing to worry about, so even if the real world is unfamiliar, what is it?

There is no Assa, no Yaz, no Firan, no watermelon head, no blue, no Yuki in the anime...

There are too many people who haven't appeared in the anime, but they are all real, all flesh and blood people, Xiangkong doesn't know what their fate is, at least, he doesn't want these people he knows to die in a real hospital bed one day.

Walking on the street, Xiangkong's clenched heart was relieved a little by Asa's words.
