“…… Probably...... Kind, but ......"

“…… Will I come? I'm—"

"I think you're a good fit...... How is it? ”

"How? You're still asking me how it tastes? Don't you know what your own things taste? ”

"—phew."

As if she didn't want to sleep well, the buzzing murmur kept wandering in her ears, and Xue Lingphantice opened her eyes with a painful face, and the dim light presented in her blurred vision gradually combined and cleared up in her consciousness, revealing the appearance of two men standing together arguing with each other surrounded by the dilapidated environment: "You guys...... It's ......"

"Ah, she's awake." One of the men who answered her was surprised by the surprised voice: "It seems that you don't need to test the medicine yourself." ”

"I'm done drinking!" Another man, who looked like a homeless man, then shouted with a look of indignation: "It's the first time I've drunk such a spicy potion!" Even if you go back and invite me to drink at least ten bottles of wine, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash off this bitter taste! ”

"Then drink ten more bottles, anyway, as long as the accounts are all on the bodies of Surtu and the Sioux, you can drink as much as you want."

The noisy voice still lingered in Xue Ling's consciousness as if she refused to give up, making her already headache even more obvious, and the tactile sense that was also gradually recovering then moved her arms with her desire to move, and the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of tattered sleeves that had been glued together by coagulated inky black blood: "...... Damn it. ”

"I don't think I'll be cherishing this outfit anymore." As if she had guessed what this woman was thinking, the voice belonging to Duan Qing then sounded in her ears: "Just take this opportunity to get a new set of clothes to change." ”

"Hmph, I got your way." Still in a weak tone, Xue Lingphantom Ice hung her head and replied, "But that's something we should think about only after we go back...... Can you tell me about the current situation? ”

"Well, I know it's a little inappropriate to bring it up at this time." The expression that was smiling quickly converged, and the gray-robed magician named Duan Qing then also gestured in the direction of Shi Ayun on the side: "But I found the culprit who caused you to become the way you are now, that is-"

Burst.

A sip of wine sprayed into the dim field of vision out of thin air, sending the words belonging to Duan Qing and his coughing figure into the distance: "What strange words are you talking about?" What does it have to do with me when she gets hurt? ”

"What does it matter? If it weren't for the fact that you were fighting around and attracting so many enemies, how could Ling Bing be attacked? She might have returned safely. ”

"So you adventurers like to settle accounts like this? At first, I told you to go back, but you didn't listen to me. ”

"Well, was it being chased here by those damn skeletons? We managed to meet each other and found some of the clues we could use! Like you, you only know how to fight and kill in one place......"

"Alright, okay, let's stop." The buzzing voice became louder in his mind, and Xue Lingphantom Ice finally raised his arm again as if he couldn't bear it anymore: "Since there is nothing wrong with Mr. Shi Ayun himself, it is a good thing for our team, isn't it?" ”

"Your arm is still injured, I am now half disabled, and the only one who can fight and survive in this place is probably Mr. Shi Ayun." She stated this fact in a weak and indifferent tone, and at the same time condensed her pale gaze on Duan Qing's body: "You have to treat him well." ”

"Actually, this guy has already told me where you are and what you're going to do next." Before Duan Qing could say his response, Shi Ayun on the side raised his head and poured his next sip of wine: "I heard that I want to help someone find some parts, right?" I was going to set out to look for it, but this guy didn't want to. ”

"He's insisting on curing you."

Still maintaining the action of pouring wine, he pointed to the direction of Duan Qing on the side with his other hand, and then the man's head-scratching action reappeared in the sight of Duan Qing's Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, and he didn't know how to answer: "This, this, you know, we can't leave you here alive, at least we should wake you up and give you some ability to protect yourself, right?" ”

"Makes sense." As if he understood what the man wanted to express, a mysterious smile appeared in Xue Ling's nodding motion: "Then what method did you originally plan to use to wake me up?" ”

"Of course, it's my special curse dispel potion! Or maybe it's okay to use a potion. Hurriedly raising a bottle of strange magic potion in his hand, Duan Qing's tone and movements immediately became excited: "This is a new product made by using all the remaining materials on hand and extracting the necromantic ingredients hidden in the remains of those skeletons!" Definitely has the effect of fighting poison with poison—"

"What? So that's what you made me drink? Shi Ayun's protest immediately sounded behind him: "No wonder it smells so disgusting to drink!" You damn adventurer! ”

"Alright, okay, let's stop."

The same words echoed in this small space for the second time, and the cold voice belonging to Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also sounded again with her sinking complexion: "Anyway, you haven't poured that strange potion into my mouth, because I don't need anything to solve the spell at all, just now it should just be a coma, and I will recover after a period of rest." ”

"Although most of my combat power was stolen by this annoying effect, I can still move around now." She proved to the two people in front of her with the movement of standing up with difficulty, and finally turned her attention to the front of several people: "You don't have to worry too much about my existence, just act, I will follow in your footsteps." ”

"W-is this really okay?" Her words unexpectedly caused Duan Qing's worries: "If we encounter a similar battle again, we don't have any good way to take care of you." ”

"Do I really look that weak?" After all, he still put on an angry look, and Xue Lingphantom Ice then turned his finger to the front of the door on the side with his pale face: "Hurry up." ”

"Don't keep that Kyle II waiting."

Without further words, the frail white-haired woman then retracted her gaze, and her staggering steps then accompanied her movements as she crossed Duan Qing and Shi Ayun's side, and slowly passed beyond the door leading to the corridor outside. Glancing in the direction where Shi Ayun was, Duan Qing, whose eyes showed some kind of light, then hurriedly followed and supported Xue Ling's staggering body, and this scene finally led to a long sigh from the homeless man, and the wine jug that he was originally going to drink was also thrown aside by him: "Okay, where is our destination?" ”

"In that direction." Duan Qing, who was holding the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice forward slowly, then replied in a low voice: "If you still have an impression, that is the direction we came from, we can first go back to the vicinity of the place where you first fought, and see if those skeleton soldiers have left from there." ”

"The undead have no purpose, they instinctively follow the life of the living, and although they can't absorb it themselves, it's still the most delicious thing in their eyes."

"Even if these life forces cause them to become fragile? What a pitiful and pathetic thing. ”

"There's no need to laugh at them, because that's what they've been driven to like this right now...... Well, it looks like it's falling apart. ”

Crossing the physical range of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice, Shi Ayun, who took the initiative to take the lead in exploring the way, then stopped at the root of the old wall near the corner in front of him: "Walk through this corridor, turn right at the next staircase in front of you, it should be about the same." ”

"I didn't expect your sense of orientation to be good." Nodding his head, Duan Qing, who was carrying one arm of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice on his back, had already taken out his adventurer map: "That's right, that is also the edge of the giant crater, and this place, which was originally called the Combat Readiness Snow Storage Area, seems to have been destroyed by the sweeping storm, and now there should be only this part outside the arc." ”

"Combat-ready snow storage area? What is that place? ”

"There's no need to worry too much about it, it's just a name anyway."

It seemed that he was no longer in the mood to continue pestering and joking, and Duan Qing, who was waving his left hand casually, then refocused his gaze on the surface of the map: "Hmm, it's probably in this position, not far from the edge room where you are fighting, and you should be there when you turn this corner." ”

“…… Well, God didn't intend to make it go for us. ”

Carefully retracting the leaning out half of his body, the voice belonging to Shi Ayun then sounded in the ears of Duan Qing and the others: "Those guys who fought with us before - they don't seem to have completely left. ”

"How many are left over there?"

"I don't see the situation in the room, but there are quite a few in the hallway anyway, and if you go further down the next corner, there may be more."

"It's still something that can be seen, if there's an enemy on the other side of our wall—"

"Since you can't storm it, you can only outwit it."

A woman's voice suddenly interjected in the middle of the low discussion between the two men, and the weak gaze of Xue Lingbing, who was half-carried forward by Duan Qing, also fell on the map in Duan Qing's hand at this time: "Is there any other route to choose?" ”

"Well, it doesn't look like it." Understanding the implicit meaning of the other party's words, Duan Qing then regained his spirit: "It seems that the materials in the combat preparation snow storage area are all distributed along this main route, and the warehouses and rooms used for storage are designed on both sides of the main road, and there are no other branch lines that can be passed......"

"What about up and down?" Interrupting Duan Qing's words, Xue Ling Phantom Ice slowly moved his finger pointing at Duan Qing's map up and down a few points: "Since there is no space that can penetrate on this floor, let's find it from the upper and lower floors, and the route that can break through to that room is not only front, back, left, right, and right." ”

"What a smart woman, I never thought of it." Retracting his figure from the corner in front of him, Shi Ayun, who walked back to the two of them, replaced Duan Qing's answer with a sudden voice: "There are so many immortal souls on this layer, then let's go deeper on another layer—you two, do you have a map of the upper and lower layers?" ”

The low sound of discussion then kept echoing in the dim space between the three people, and soon slowly converged and disappeared in the scene of their respective actions, Duan Qing, who was carrying the snow spirit phantom ice on his back, then ran breathlessly along a passage that turned left and right, and finally turned his head to the top of a hovering staircase not far away: "Whew, whew...... Well, there should be no one. ”

"Can you find a location?"

"Trust me, I have a strong sense of space."

Still looking left and right in this dim space full of various ruin scenes, Duan Qing's answer also had a sense of confidence in his voice: "In the game of the Gun God, I was made a talented person in directional blasting, and the situation in front of me is basically the same, the only difference is that I have replaced things like explosives with magic-here." ”

"It should be here." Still scattered and crumbling due to age, the gray-robed magician then crouched in a clearing between some broken brick and wall: "We are lucky, this place has not been blocked by walls or ruins. ”

"The next thing we have to wait for is the signal." He placed the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice aside, and then an obscure light shone between his left hand stretched out towards the ground: "I hope that guy doesn't mess up." ”

"Hey, you disgusting undead."

The shouting voice then echoed in Duan Qing's ears, and the loud provocation that came from across the floor was also accompanied by Shi Ayun's move at this time, and immediately pulled away: "If you have the ability, come and fight with me for another three hundred rounds!" ”

"Okay."

The glimmer of light that was still flickering in the corners of his eyes quickly disappeared, and Duan Qing, who was exhaling in a low voice, then pressed the magic light in his hand to the ground: "Don't hesitate!" ”

"Let's get moving!"

The seemingly solid floor then began to show signs of melting, and the obscure magical light that had disappeared downward because of Duan Qing's false press then corroded the ground in front of him like a strong acid into a huge hole, and countless side-by-side shelves and neatly placed metal parts were also displayed under the hole that was opened by Duan Qing's magic at this time, along with those falling floor fragments.
