Yes, this vast and desolate world is the place of the lost.

In the previous ten days, Aono and Hino Yuki had resolved several more serious black fog incidents.

It's distributed all over Japan, and it's also a small country because Japan is a small country, so it didn't take much time.

According to Hino, this slows down the apocalypse - the principle behind this is known only to Hino himself.

But as far as Aono is concerned, it is only to reduce some of the substances obtained from the black fog.

As for the way to eliminate those events, it is very simple.

Eat them all and you're done!

The Lost Mist, which had previously been a great threat to Aono, is now completely unable to cause any trouble to Aono.

Instead, they became Aono's food, giving him a good meal - and now that he looks back, that taste still makes Aono a little nostalgic.

At the same time, he gained a lot of stat point growth.

It also grabs a wealth of experience, which is the last enhancement before this dangerous journey really begins.

At this time, Aono's panel is as follows.

Appraise:

The place worth paying attention to in the panel is that Aono's experience points, after the gifts of the last few events, have finally reached a value of 95, which is only 5 experience points away from LV10, which can be called one step away.

- Aono had a long, long time ago that there was a very obvious change in the level of LV10 and the previous level, which might be like a change in the level of those immortal cultivators.

So Aono has been looking forward to the promotion to LV10.

But it's these 5 experience points that give Aono a headache.

At this point now, the difficulty of Aono to obtain experience points is simply ridiculously large!

It's really outrageous.

Absorbing the entire Lost Mist, it didn't increase Aono's experience by 1 point.

The text sheet on the panel is adjusted to the level -

This "slight rise" has appeared dozens of times, and it has not yet become one

The growth of experience points is as hard as it gets!

But in the past two days, Aono has slowly chewed out more meaning.

Such a slow growth rate is obviously abnormal.

It's like being deliberately suppressed by some kind of force, so that Aono can't break through this level, and this effect will only appear on the panel.

And if you think about it, it's easy to guess that this force is nothing else, it's a "corrective" force from the watch world.

The surface world instinctively rejects the unspeakable, and other beings from the inner world.

There seems to be no limit to the transcendent who is born within itself.

But in fact, Aono can feel it now, but this is not the case.

The reason why the transcendents do not feel this limitation is simple - they are too weak.

Not even the edge of the limit has been reached.

In Aono's mind, if he reaches LV10 at this point, he may be resisted by the power of correction and excluded, which is more likely to upset a kind of balance in the surface world.

After many considerations, Aono temporarily dismissed the idea of rising to LV10.

As you can see from the panel, Aono's attributes have been improved again.

However, when dealing with existing enemies, the effect of these attributes is not obvious.

In many cases, they are no longer even visible living beings, but other beings that resemble a collection of consciousness, which is terrifying anyway.

For this reason, Aono has found a lot of ways to improve the attribute of intelligence, and it is more likely that he can bear the past when making judgments.

One of the extra supernatural skills is ——, unexpected joy that Aono gets while reading a book.

Aono basically doesn't pay much attention to the skill column now, and abilities such as general skills, no matter how much he learns, he can't bring much help to Aono, and he can't provide him with the growth of attribute points like he did at the beginning.

But the transcendent skill column is different, except for the ability of "hypnosis", which was obtained a long time ago but never used, it is basically the capital of Aono's life, which is quite important.

And this was triggered when Aono read a medical book one day and tried it a little.

Don't look at the strange name of this extraordinary skill, but it is an extraordinary skill, and it is a real "extraordinary" product.

Aono borrowed his rough skin and thick flesh, as well as Tomie's, to try this skill directly on himself.

The result of the test was - the word "weird" was not wrong at all!

The healing effect of this thing is bizarre.

For example, if Aono makes a wound on his hand, it can normally be bandaged with a bandage, but the bandaging often does not trigger this "accidental healing effect".

But if you put the wound on the side of the wound and rub it, it may make the wound heal at once.

Touching the top of the head can unexpectedly have a healing effect - this is the experience that Aono learned from Kanda Yukie.

If you think about it, this thing is not scientific at all, and only "extraordinary" can achieve such an effect.

Perhaps there are some occult influences in it.

It's completely triggered by Qingye's feelings, and there is quite a kind of "I think this can be done", and then it becomes.

Aono's original intention was to enhance his healing powers.

He naturally doesn't have to worry about getting hurt himself, but once he moves with his companions, they will always get hurt, and this ability will be valuable at that time.

Who would have thought that such a strange thing would come out.

Although it can't be said to be a failure, it doesn't feel very reliable after all.

By the way, this ability played a little bit of a role in Hino Yuki, and Aono practiced his hands and pressed twice at random on several acupoints.

Hino's vitality has not increased in any way, and he is still in an overdrawn state, but his aging trend has unexpectedly stopped.

And I was finally able to walk normally, and the kind of thing that I had to fall on the ground at every turn has never happened again, which is a good thing.

After absorbing so many former kinds, as well as those soul fragments from the inner world, the state has finally changed, followed by a suffix-

A familiar, spiritually charged consciousness is slowly conceived in the black mist.

This can be clearly felt by Aono.

It is estimated that it will be born in a few days.

There is also a place on the panel that is particularly important.

That's the last column.,This thing Aono hadn't paid much attention to before.,At most, it's a small reminder.。

After all, it can be said that it will become such a thing by chance, which can be said to be very unserious.

But this time, the words on the evaluation once again prove the authenticity of the coming of the end from the side.

And the last sentence

Even if the evaluation on the panel was pessimistic and negative from the beginning, from these four simple words, Aono still read a deep regret from it.

As if to show that this time, Aono may not be able to get through the difficulties.

As always, Aono didn't pay much attention to this evaluation.

Because he always believes that things are done by man!

"Are you okay?"

Aono put away his thoughts, turned his head to look at Hino Yuki and asked.

At this time, the two of them had been walking in the Lost World for half an hour, eating the "Bone Devouring Demon Worm Barbecue" once and the "Darkwing Monster Bird Soup" twice along the way, and it could be said that they were full.

- Aono's passivity, but it's still hanging on his body!

Suddenly came to the lost land where all kinds of aliens were rampant, and Qingye's did not speak of martial virtues, of course, they became the sweets in their eyes.

The ending......

It can only be said that the taste is not bad.

Even Hino Yuki is full of red faces, these xenomorphic creatures, if they are directly given to ordinary people, they will definitely not be edible, but under Aono, they become delicious and delicious food, and they also provide Hino Yuki with the physical strength to continue to move forward.

"I'm fine."

Hino Yuki stopped and rested for a while, but his steps were still trembling slightly.

His current physical strength is almost the same as that of a normal person, and it doesn't matter if he walks or runs two steps, but the problem is that if he wants to get to the destination they want to reach quickly, the speed of ordinary people alone is too slow, and he has been saying that he can use his ability to hurry, but now he can't support it.

"Well, I'd better do it."

Aono didn't say a word, walked up to Hino Yuki, picked up his body, and then took a big stride, and his body disappeared into the air very quickly.

Hino Yuki smiled bitterly: "Slow, slow!" ”

He had long known that Aono would treat him with such a rough posture, so he refused to let Aono help early in the morning, but he didn't expect to end up like this.

Another half hour passed.

There is still no trace of human presence around, but strange creatures appear more and more frequently, and there are many kinds of them.

It's not at all what Aono has ever seen.

In addition to the old acquaintance "Bone Eater Demon Worm", there are many species that Aono has never seen in the last time he came to visit.

For example, a sandworm that is larger than a high-speed train lurks beneath them.

Just looking at the appearance, it is a bit like a relative of the Bone Eater Demon Insect, but the size of the two is simply tens of thousands of times the difference, and with that sharp teeth, Hino Yuki feels cold in his heart just by looking at it.

There is also a seemingly ordinary green plant, Aono just rubbed it when he was in a hurry, and the skin that was rubbed instantly bled out.

- You know, this is Aono's skin, not any ordinary person.

The thick skin and thick flesh are perfect to describe Aono, but even he was cut by this thing, and the blood couldn't stop flowing, so you can imagine how dangerous it is.

An extra line on the status panel -

Fortunately, it was only temporary, and in less than five minutes, this state disappeared.

In the Lost Lands, there is a jellyfish-like creature that falls from the sky, and when it touches a living thing, it will cause a violent explosion that is not as strong as a grenade.

If this thing was acting alone, it wouldn't be dangerous, but seeing the jellyfish bombs sweeping over like a typhoon, even Aono could only stumble slightly and avoid the edge for the time being.

Aono himself wasn't very afraid of explosions of this magnitude, but if they fell all at once, even he might not be able to protect Hino's thoughtfulness.

"Is your method really reliable?"

Aono saw that Hino was about to be shaken up by him, so he stopped a little and asked suspiciously.

"Whew...... Let me down and rest for a while. ”

Hino Yuki said with a grudge, his face pale.

was held on the back by Qingye, and although the journey was fast, it didn't feel good at all.

In addition, he just ate the food made by Aono, and he didn't spit it out directly at this time, which can be regarded as a strong willpower.

Aono did so.

The reason for his question was actually the direction that Hino Yuki had told him to go in was not the direction he specified at all, but to run in the most dangerous direction in his intuition.

- That doesn't sound like a good idea! It's like a headless fly scurrying around.

After a break of two or three minutes, Yuki Hino explained.

"Actually, I didn't believe it much at first, but that's the way it is."

"Because the place we landed was random every time, I couldn't remember every time we walked. So, in every future possibility, it is up to Aono-kun to find your way through your intuition. ”

"At least in this respect, your intuition is more accurate than the future I see."

Aono was speechless.

After a short rest, the two set off again.

And this time, in their field of vision, a town made of stone slowly approached them.
