"Babble." I stood in a small clearing in the woods, waiting for my prey to appear, moving from the grass to the leaves. I held the dagger in my right hand and the short sword in my left, and after determining the position of the youkai, I threw the dagger there hard, and with a thud it stuck in something, and the leaves fell down with a clatter. I heard like I hit a tree, didn't I hit it?

"This youkai moves fast, you have to be careful." Phantom reminded me by the side.

I pulled out a dagger again, and I didn't mistake its position just now, but the weapon was flying too slowly, allowing it to escape.

"......" the youkai let out a high-pitched chirp, and I felt like it was all around me, and I couldn't tell where it was, so I had to keep turning to face different directions.

"Behind, be careful!"

Without hesitation, I slashed backwards with my short sword, and the yokai was split in half and dissipated.

"Yes, a sword is neat." Boast of how fast I've progressed.

I walked under the tree and looked up at the dagger that had been inserted in the trunk before, if it wasn't for the illusion to remind me in time, maybe I would have died here, my mental power needs to be more concentrated, my reaction needs to be more sensitive, and my hand strength must be stronger. After summarizing my mind, I have reformulated a training plan for myself, which will be implemented tomorrow.

"Here you go." Phantom took off the dagger and handed it to me, "Are you going to train yourself harder again?" ”

"It's just appropriate."

"Don't think you can get hurt right now and take your own body for granted." Phantom disapproves of my approach, "The human body wants to strengthen slowly. ”

I looked at the scratches and bruises on my body, "It's all small injuries, and I have a sense of proportion." ”

"And your injuries last time weren't all healed." The illusion pointed at my heart. "Don't think you can hide it from me."

Ever since my uncle's incident, my heart has been aching from time to time, especially when I think about it, I feel like it has left a wound in my heart, and it bleeds when I touch it. "How would you know that you didn't even find out about Tsuiko?"

"Who do you think you're spending time with every day?"

I see, no matter how good my play is, I can't show a trace all the time, "You didn't tell Cuizi, did you?" ”

"No, but if you are so cruel to yourself again, I will expose you, and then you can only lie at home every day." Childish threats.

"My heart aches because of my injuries, it has nothing to do with training, if it's really that serious, with your understanding of me, how can I bear it, the injuries on my body just look scary on the surface, and they will slowly disappear."

Seeing that I couldn't persuade Tsuiko to come out, I started nagging again, "It's really worrying the more you live." ”

I looked at its mother-like appearance and didn't refute it, and the time that someone cares about should be cherished. On the way back to the village, it was unusually quiet, and there were no birds, which was so unusual that I couldn't help but stop.

"Isn't it too quiet here?" I asked Phantom.

"Well, youkai are eyeing us."

I prepared my sword and dagger, "Since you're here, don't hide your head and tail!" As soon as I finished speaking, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the darkness.

Quite a lot, I should be surrounded by youkai. How could there be so many, I took a step back, and in this situation I had to seize the gap and run away. One worm was the first to attack, followed by the others, I threw out my dagger and destroyed it first, then I wrapped my silk around it and sent it back to me, and I used my short sword to cut the tentacles that were going around the back to pierce my chest.

"I'm going to throw all the hidden weapons out!" I motioned for Phantom to catch them, transfer the power to the hidden weapon through the spider silk, and then let the phantom control the spider silk to kill the nearby monsters in a large area, "Which direction has the least number of youkai?" ”

Phantom looked around, "West." ”

Yo Xi, "Phantom, remember the first time you took me through the woods?" ”

"Of course I do."

"Take me out that way!"

Phantom jumped to my left hand, and before the attacking youkai came to my senses, I let it hang me up and fly to the top of the tree, kill the youkai in the way with my sword, and then swing to another tree in the same way to escape. I didn't see if the youkai behind me could catch up, and I went all out, and only when the illusion could stop did I lean on the branch and look back.

"It seems to have been shaken off." It's been a long time since I've been chased like this, my heart is beating fast and it's a little uncomfortable, I adjusted my breathing to calm down, it's not a big deal.

"Looking at your recent appearance, I thought you were really not afraid, but you were still nervous." Illusion teased me.

"yes." I also laughed at myself for still sparing my life.

"Don't be frustrated, when you have enough actual combat experience, these are fine." Phantom patted me on the shoulder, "It's not a good place to stay for long, let's go back first." ”

Pulling the spider silk and swinging in mid-air, it suddenly broke, but I just swung to the lowest point, this is the fastest moment, I was caught off guard with the illusion, I fell directly to the ground and rolled many times before hitting the tree and stopped.

"Are you alright?!" Phantom asked me worriedly.

I covered my bruised right elbow and shook my head, "It's fine. "I used my arm to protect my head when I fell, but fortunately I learned a few tricks before, and now only the first hit of the right hand is more serious.

"Bleeding." The illusion wrapped spider silk around my arms and legs, like gauze.

"Is your spider silk still useful?" Eyes.

"Stop the bleeding for the time being, and you'll have to rub the medicine when you go back. I don't know who cut off my spider silk just now, we may have to have a hard fight, can we stand up? ”

"No problem." I grabbed the trunk of the tree and prepared my dagger.

"I haven't seen you for three years, why have you become quite capable?" Qiang was surrounded by monsters and fell from the sky, and she had regained her appearance and was dressed in black gauze.

"Your face ......" is beautiful, but there is no blemish, but it feels fake.

Qiang stroked her face, "It's not difficult for youkai to recast their faces, and they can be more perfect. ”

"yes, that's you." If the beloved is not there, who will show the beauty?

Qiang seems to be sensitive to this kind of thought, and she can feel it when I don't say it, or she thinks I'm sarcastic no matter what I say, so she gets angry and keeps ordering youkai to attack me. I can't use my right hand to rely on my left hand to support me, but I usually don't practice much with my left hand, and the accuracy is not enough several times, but fortunately, I have the illusion to assist me, and I finally haven't been empty.

"Ugh!" I stabbed my sword into the head of the last big youkai around me with all my might, the green liquid splashed all over me, and I leaned against the tree in exhaustion and gasped, was she going to kill me?

"Ziteng taught you well." Qiang sat leisurely on the youkai, "It's enough for me to watch for a while." With a wave of her hand, many more youkai ran out from behind.

"Rain, if you can't hold on, set up an enchantment to rest for a while." I saw that my wounds were oozing blood.

I inserted my sword into the ground and planted a small barrier for self-protection, which I used the spiritual power in my bracelet to cloth, and the monsters slammed into it one after another, but fortunately it was strong enough. I looked up at Qiang, she didn't mean to interfere, it was like watching a good show, it was really infuriating.

"I'll take care of your wounds again." Phantom bandaged me again, "I won't be able to help you if they crack again, I'll help you drag them when you go first." ”

"No way!" I didn't even think about it and refused, "It's not to the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and we don't necessarily can't beat her." ”

"What have become of you? If you're not there, I don't have any scruples to do my best. "Phantom was trying to persuade me, and I understood it as saying that I was dragging my feet.

It feels like being insulted, but I'm not weird, it's a fact, the strong won't be played like a monkey, they won't be so embarrassed.

"If the protagonist runs away, that's not okay." Rose overhears our conversation, pulls a rose from her sleeve, spits red gas from her mouth and throws it on it, the flower flies above the barrier and falls away, and the petals fall on the barrier and dissolve it all.

"The break is over, and now, the game continues."
