"So you came back to help them?"

Gradually retreating from the shadows to the deeper part of the darkness, the snow spirit phantom ice who was still wearing the cloak hid his expression in the bushes on the other side of the Gemenan River, but Yat, who had been waiting in that direction, withdrew his arms that he had been holding on to his chest, and looked at the woman in front of him who had just put away the blood sword with playful eyes: "Why did you suddenly become so sympathetic?" ”

“…… I was just drawn to the blood of that monster. ”

Glancing at the other party slightly, the woman named Xue Ling Phantom Ice pulled the brim of her hat lower: "It turns out that I guessed correctly, the monsters in this place have already shown signs of being infected by the Void Energy. ”

"Beasts infected by the power of the Void will become more bloodthirsty and belligerent, and will have special skills that many other monsters don't have." Yate, who tilted his head, then followed suit: "Although this jungle has turned into an empty forest due to someone's phantom interference, there are still such powerful mutant monsters that have been retained. ”

"Presumably, that person can't extend his power to a monster of this level." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice replied in a deep voice, "Or...... His power was homogenized with the monster's power, after all, it was not an ordinary demonized monster, so it encountered obstacles in the transformation of illusions. ”

"And then?"

Sorting out his adventure equipment, the playful smile on Art's face suddenly became more obvious: "That's why you rushed back to help them kill that monster?" In the end, I secretly gave the crocodile a sword, and I didn't dare to admit it frankly afterwards? ”

“……”

"I know you don't want to be in contact with more people, but that's too sneaky, isn't it?"

Looking at the other party's silent reaction with his head down, Art turned his playful gaze to the opposite side of the river not far behind the woman: "This deliberate method...... It's more like you're afraid of being found out by them. ”

"I'm being wanted by the Empire right now, so can I keep from messing with these new players in the Empire...... It's better not to mess with them. ”

After a quiet silence for a while, Xue Lingphantasm replied silently in an almost inaudible voice, "I also have my own mission to meet and walk with them...... Not a good thing for both sides. ”

"Really?"

Asked such a question as usual, but the expression on the face of the NPC named Art did not show the same confusion as before: "But you feel strange to me now, like a ...... who is afraid to meet people Uh, lover? ”

Airplanes!

The sound of the sword then pierced the air between the two people, it was the sound of the blood-colored long sword of the snow spirit ice suddenly across Art's neck, and Art, who was forced to raise his head by the murderous sword, then also closed his mouth, and the playful smile on his face turned into a pitiful dry smile. The atmosphere lasted quietly for a moment under such a scene, and then it was dissolved again in the woman's action of withdrawing her sword and turning back, and Yate, who raised her hands together, then dared to wipe the sweat on her forehead with a slight movement, and at the same time re-landed her gaze on Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had already begun to move forward: "Okay, this joke is actually not funny......

"Enough time has been wasted."

Passing by the other party who hadn't reacted yet, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who didn't look at the other side of the river again, hid his unrecognizable expression in his departing back: "Let's go." ”

"Hey, do you really care about them?" Behind her, Art's voice sounded again: "Not to mention those weak adventurers, that magician and alchemist seems to be really strong." ”

"No matter how strong you are, you can't deal with that enemy."

Answering without looking back, Snow Ling's gaze lingered for a moment in the darkness deep in the jungle in front of him: "Even if it's him......"

Even if it's him......

He......

Odd.

I always felt that something was wrong, was it because that person had helped me in the village of Carlo?

The face of the magician who was acting strangely just now, but definitely not a strong man, flashed in her mind again, and Xue Lingbing, who had already walked a distance, quietly closed her eyes, and the chaotic thoughts that had not stopped since she retreated just now became more and more intense with the quiet that gradually settled around her, and even caused a bit of strange waves in her heart - since the battle in Sky City, the heart lake of the white-haired female swordsman who had lost Duan Qing had become a pool of stagnant water, And this dead silence has become calmer with the passage of time and the adventures she has begun alone, and even the many changes in the free world and the real world cannot arouse her interest for half a minute. Gradually crawling out of the abyss from regret and grief, she finally set herself the goal of revenge, and aimlessly searched for everything related to the original mutated Emerald Star in this free continent, but as the pursuit progressed and the merciless oppression from this world approached, she also realized what unpredictable difficulties and obstacles were behind the goal she wanted to achieve. However, even now, when everyone has betrayed her relatives, she still has not given up this obsession in her heart, because this is the only trace of motivation left in her heart to continue to stay in this world after her countless intertwined complex emotions have been brewing for a long time.

Kill all the people who inflict suffering on her - this is the last thought that has been turning over in her mind after her heart died, but she witnessed the boss battle just now, but she suddenly had a slightly different emotion.

What's wrong?

Can't think of it.

No, that's not right...... Why did I have such thoughts?

I guess it's just that I've been lonely for too long, so I feel a little lonely.

Shaking her head vigorously, Snow Spirit Ice then banished the magician's image from her thoughts, and her hesitant steps became a little more determined with her movements, and disappeared into the depths of the jungle with Art, who had caught up with her. The novice members of the team who were abandoned by her willpower were still immersed in the endless joy that the team was still alive, only the exile war song who walked back to the broken water in the abyss seemed to maintain some of his calm, he looked at the magician and looked in the direction on the other side of the river, and the question that suddenly arose in his heart slowly surfaced to his mouth: "...... Someone else? ”

"Probably."

Shaking his head, Lin Yuan Shushui moved his gaze back to his experience bar from the front: "But judging from the results of the boss experience we obtained, there should be no other accidents in this battle." ”

"How did this crocodile die in the end......?"

"Who knows, you may have blown yourself up."

Shrugging his shoulders and signaling forward, Lin Yuan Shushui slowly pulled out a smile: "After all, it is a void creature, and the degree of chaos is much more powerful than we imagined." ”

"Why do you call it a Void Creature?"

Blinking her eyes again, Exile Warsong straddled her gaze away from her teammates who were still crying and laughing: "You...... Familiar with them? ”

"Sort of."

After a slight silence for a moment, Lin Yuan replied in a low voice: "I have passed by here many times before in order to collect medicinal herbs, and I have dealt with this creature that has been lurking in the river several times, so I know the skills of each stage of it......"

"Don't say it's summoning a little crocodile, you know even the dark laser." Exile Warsong turned to look at the mage's face: "You figured this out alone?" ”

"Come on, of course I've had my former teammates."

Pulling out a false smile, Lin Yuan finally decided to prevaricate it with another word: "What's more, in order to beat this boss, I have also made a lot of preparations." ”

"Those potions ......"

As if he suddenly remembered something important, an interested smile gradually appeared in the eyes of the exile war song: "What is the level of your alchemy?" How was the power potion that was given to us just now made? And you said that you used the methods of an alchemist to cast so many strange magic...... Did you drink some strange potions, too? ”

"Strength potions are not difficult to match, but the materials needed may not be easy to collect." Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly: "As for what I drank...... It's just some other experiment. ”

"Experiment?"

"Unstable magic potion."

He once again took out a potion bottle glowing with blue light from his arms, and replied in a low voice: "The effect is to greatly increase the speed of mana recovery and mental power recovery in a short period of time, but after the effect is over, all these recovery values will be deducted...... Although the negative effects are more intimidating than ordinary mana potions, the regeneration effect is not comparable to those mana potions. ”

"Wait, wait." Exile War Song, who lowered his arm, widened his eyes: "I can accept the spiritual value, after all, there is such a thing in the four major attributes, but the magic value is ...... Do characters only have health and stamina from time to time? ”

"There's a mana value in the characters, but it's not shown in the free world system." Lin Yuan shook his head with a smile: "I also discovered this setting by accident, otherwise...... So many weak magicians can unleash magic that is enough to destroy the world, is it because of the physical strength bar that is shorter than the people in the novice village? ”

"But, but ......" Exile Warsong showed an expression that was trying to remember, waving his hands, "When I watched those free world games before, those mage players did deduct stamina when they released their magic." ”

"That's right, because any action requires a reduction in stamina, which is the rule of the free world."

Pointing to the other party's body, Lin Yuan replied in a low voice: "But a mage whose physical strength is close to exhaustion can still chant his magic, and a warrior with full physical strength cannot use a high-level magic scroll...... That should be enough to explain the problem, right? ”

"The magic potion ......"

"The magic potions on the market are all made from various herbs that increase their effects, and their effects originally have a small amount of physical recovery effect."

Knowing another question in the other party's heart, Lin Yuan interrupted the words of the exile war song with a smile: "But if you go to understand the magic theory and explanation of high-level magicians, you should be able to come to a similar conclusion to me, and the spirit value has also been elaborated and explained many times in their theoretical system, and in their guesses, the spirit of the magician has a great relationship with whether the magician can use magic accurately......"

"You, how do you know so much?" Exile Warsong looked at the man in front of him with a shocked expression: "Could it be that you are a professional player's trumpet?" ”

“…… No. ”

The idea of wanting to talk about it just now came to an abrupt end with the other party's question, and the abyss who raised his arm to the air finally lowered his head slowly: "I'm not a professional player, and I'm not a trumpet, I ......"

"I'm just an ordinary magician now."

As if sensing the strange atmosphere emanating from the mysterious magician, the player named Exile Warsong did not ask another word, but the other three celebratory newcomers from the front of the river beach immediately broke the silence, disturbing the nerves of the two of them with excited shouts: "What are you doing here!" Let's check out the boss drops! ”

"We've just had a hard time, why should this boss give us a lot of good things, right?"

"I want weapons! I want weapons! I don't want anything else, just give me a weapon! ”

"Come on, Captain, we're all waiting for you to drive."

In the loud screams that were enough to make people nervous, Murong Qingchun still pulled the magician sitting on the ground up: "Everyone doesn't know how to touch the corpse, so ......"

"Don't worry."

Pressing down hard, the frowning Lin Yuan cut off the water and took a lot of effort to suppress the noise surrounding his ears: "Let me ask you, how does this boss battle feel?" ”

"How does it feel? It feels like I'm dying! The Soul Keeper replied excitedly, "I've never felt so happy!" ”

"Let's not say that you have practiced so many times of cooperation, are you still afraid of infinite death?"

Looking around at the others present, Lin Yuan pointed to the depths of the dim jungle on the other side of the river: "The monsters and leaders in the back are much stronger than now, are you still afraid?" Are you still afraid? Unafraid? Very good. ”

"That's your biggest takeaway." He looked at the movement of everyone nodding vigorously together, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious: "As long as you have this hard-won will......"

"It's not in vain that we've run away so many times."
