Chapter 970: Stepping Stone
The heart is beating violently, and at the same time, the breathing becomes very rapid, the body is so uncomfortable, and a strong feeling of powerlessness fills the heart!
But the pace of running cannot be stopped!
Can't stop!
Can't stop!
Can't stop!
Because, to stop means to die! Stopping means that the hope of the town will be completely buried in your own hands!
Hang on!
Keep it up!
Hold on a little longer!
"Stop!"
"Don't run!"
Hearing the clamor coming from behind him, Link ran faster!
"Absolutely! Definitely can't fall here! Absolute!! β
Although the breathing is getting heavier and heavier, and although the body is getting more and more painful, for the future of the town and the hope of the old folks!
Even though there was a ghost in front of him, and even the mountain road was a little unclear, Link was still trying his best to escape!
It's a pity that even with all his might, the gap in physical fitness between ordinary people in the Black Iron Rank and professionals in the Silver Rank still makes the distance between the two sides continue to shorten.
Coupled with the abundant physical strength of the silver-level professional, although the belief in his heart made Link try his best to move his steps, the distance between the two sides was still getting closer and closer!
Sou!
Burst!
"Oops!"
With the sound of a bowstring vibrating, when he heard the sound, it was too late for Link, who had already reached his limit and even surpassed his limit, to dodge!
With a slight chill in his back, and then with a strong feeling of pain surging into Link's heart, the persistence and belief that had been all the time were finally defeated by the feeling of powerlessness at this time.
Link fell......
"Nope! My mother and sister are still waiting for me to come home! My fellow villagers are still waiting for my good news! I can't fall here! No! I'm going to be sure to bring the news, along with my hard-earned pay, to the adventure union in the big city! One...... Fixed ......"
Consciousness gradually blurred, although Link who was hit by the arrow still dragged his seriously injured body to crawl in the direction of the legendary big city, and dragged the ground out of a five-meter-long blood field, but when the dazzling sunlight in front of him suddenly dimmed, two men panting and dressed as bandits were already standing in front of Link with fierce faces.
At this point, Link had to admit that he had failed!
It was a complete defeat!
"Boy! Can you run? A guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks snorted and shouted at Link, who was about to fall into a coma, "Want to ask for help? No way! β
Seeing the bandit's face, although his consciousness was blurred, Link's heart was still full of the will to save his town at this time, but as the sense of powerlessness became stronger and stronger, despair gradually filled his heart.
And then......
The strong will turned into a curse, into a curse on these hateful bandits in front of you!
"Why, why can the wicked live so happily, while the good live in endless misery?! Why do hard-working and simple people live a miserable life because of these hateful bandits?! Why can't my dad and many other good people live happily but die at the hands of these hateful bandits?! I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced!! I'm not convinced!! β
"Stop talking nonsense! Kill him! Just when the unconscious Link cursed the bandit in front of him in a daze, cursing this world that makes good people not have a good time, another strong man thief stopped the sharp-beaked monkey cheek-faced thief who seemed to be planning to make a big fuss, and then very simply pulled out the scimitar on his waist and swung it down, his movements were crisp and neat without hesitation, and he looked like a master who often kills!
However, just as Link's heart was filled with despair and he was ready to face death in remorse, a purple-haired woman suddenly appeared in front of him and stretched out her right hand to him, catching the scimitar swung by the great-looking man with great ease.
"What a sweet curse? With a righteous curse, is this world that eats people and does not spit out bones? It's really a memorable and forbidden taste! It's no wonder that I became the destroyer of the world before, this sweet forbidden taste is really addictive! β
The sweetness with a hint of indulgence sounded in Link's ears, and then he saw that this woman who didn't know when she appeared just by looking at her back and knew that she was definitely a super beauty waved her right hand that directly held the blade, and then the scimitar and the strong man roared and smashed into the big tree next to her!
Rumble! Click! Thundered!
The strong force not only made the strong man's body twist in the opposite direction when he hit the tree, and he was obviously seriously injured in an instant, but at the same time, the big tree that the two of them hugged was also directly broken into two by the strong man, and when the trunk fell, it smashed into the strong man who fell to the ground.
Well, even if the strong man didn't die just now, I'm afraid he is completely dead now!
"Weird...... Monsters! β
When the remaining bandit man with a shortbow on his cheek saw this, he immediately ran into the mountains next to him with a strange scream.
Looking at the skillful appearance, it is obvious that more than once he has relied on his familiarity with the deep mountains to get rid of the pursuers with the help of the terrain.
But......
"Borrow your arrows!"
Sou!
With this sentence that made Link a little confused, Link, who was not unconscious, only felt a chill in his back, and then the arrow that pierced into his body was pulled out by the mysterious woman with a wave of her hand, and then the arrow was shot by the mysterious purple-haired beauty with her hand at the fleeing bandit!
Burst!
"Ahh
With a short scream and blood spurting wildly, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked bandit who fell to the ground was obviously more than lucky.
However, Link did not have the fear of seeing a dead man for the first time at this time, but his heart was full of endless happiness!
"Good death! All offenders deserve to die! No wicked man shall die well! β
The hatred for these bandits, which had been accumulating all these times, suddenly exploded, and then, Link, wept bitterly.
Link didn't cry when he was discovered and pursued by the bandits, he didn't cry when he ran away knowing that he couldn't run away, and he didn't cry when he ran desperately, and when he fell to the ground and was desperate, Link still didn't cry!
However, when the bandit died, Link cried.
The intense hatred and the strong grievances that had accumulated in his heart were when the wicked man died in front of his eyes, Link finally couldn't hold back the happy and sad emotions in his heart, and completely cried out loud.
"Hey, Sui Yu, why did you make this boy cry?"
Hearing this somewhat out of tune male voice, Link subconsciously wanted to retort: "I'm 14 years old, I'm already an adult, right?!" So don't call me boy! β
It's a pity that the wounds on his body are still bleeding, with the loss of body temperature, coupled with the tense spirit when he saw the death of the bandit relaxed, the strong sense of dizziness made Link unable to hold on anymore, and it was dark in front of him, Link finally fainted completely.
Then, when Link woke up again, a full five seconds had passed......
Well, Link naturally didn't feel it so clearly, he could only make sure that he wasn't in a coma for too long by the surrounding environment, especially the drying up of his own blood on the ground.
However, Sui Yu, who used the crappy healing magic to help Link heal, clearly knew that Link had not been in a coma for too long.
Although Sui Yu is not good at healing magic, but in the end, he is a demigod-level existence, treating this kind of "small injury" that is neither cursed nor infected (even if it can be called a fatal injury for Link, but it is indeed a small injury in the eyes of the demigod, so there is nothing wrong), Sui Yu took a copycat version of the healing technique, and Link woke up on the spot.
"Yikes! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! β
And as soon as I woke up, I jumped up and cried out in pain......
"What, it doesn't seem normal to shout pain, right?" Catwoman Nana weakly reminded Sui Yu, while Meng Yu nodded slightly in support next to her.
"That's right, my healing release method is similar to Mina's, right?" Sui Yu is also summing up his experience (Link: So, you're using me as a guinea pig?!) Then he took out the data terminal and studied the introduction to the healing technique.
"That's right? To put it bluntly, the reason why the low-level wants to divide the magic into nine rings to use it, and can't wave the hand like after reaching the holy level, is because the low-level professionals must use the magic patterns confirmed by the predecessors to release magic! And the spiritual power of the demigod class can completely ignore the magic form, and directly drive the magic with personal will, even if it is a cross-class spell, or even release the magic of mutual restraint! But why is my cure still not working? Why does the healing technique that I deliberately performed according to the procedure still have such painful side effects? How strange! Everything is obviously perfect, and even the healing speed is more than ten times more efficient than the effect of Mina's healing technique......"
βMasterοΌβ Meng Yu pressed his forehead and said to Sui Yu with an expression of unbearable staring: "I think that your healing efficiency of more than ten times is probably the main reason for the labor pain!" In other words, you let the wound heal ten times faster, how can this not have side effects?! β
Syllable!
Sui Yu snapped his fingers when he heard this: "I see, I really live to learn all the time!" I learned a new thing today! β
Well, Sui Yu's image at this time is very majestic.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if you didn't look at Link, the hapless kid who was foaming at the mouth next to him......
So, in order to compensate for the suffering suffered by poor Walink, Sui Yu, who happened to meet Link, decided to escort Link back to Hushan Town safely to make up for his mistake of accidentally using Link as a guinea pig.
Of course, Link also had a strong desire to go to a nearby big city, and it is said that he was going to the adventurer's guild in the big city to issue a mission, asking the adventurer to exterminate the bandits blocking the mountain road and save the entire Hushan Town.
It's just that after Sui Yu told him that the nearest city would be more than a week away at Link's speed, Link had to give up this unrealistic plan.
Before, I didn't think that the big city was far away from the traveling merchants who occasionally came to the town, but now that he knew the distance from Sui Yu's side, after considering the fact that he didn't have much dry food on his body, Link had to admit that even if he wasn't injured, I'm afraid there would be no way to go that far.
In particular, Sui Yu also pointed to the team, and at the end of the team, Catwoman Nana dragged a giant boar the size of a small cabin and told Link that after there were countless similar monsters along the way, Link had to give up his plan to go to the big city alone, and obediently followed Sui Yu to Link's hometown - Hushan Town.
Of course, maybe it was because although Sui Yu and his party had changed into a less conspicuous outfit, but because the Ryder and their group of mercenaries who were surrounding Sui Yu and his party all looked very fierce, the team did not encounter any attack from the location where they met Link to the town gate of Hushan Town.
Although Sui Yu had long sensed that there were suspicious guys on the nearby mountains from time to time observing this side with his demigod-level spiritual power, Sui Yu was not a hero or a saint in the end, since the bandits didn't trouble him, Sui Yu was not interested in rushing over to eliminate the violence.
To tell the truth, if Sui Yu really had the heart of the Holy Mother, Sui Yu, who had fought for more than 100,000 miles along the way in order to avoid the pursuit of the Bright Holy Kingdom, would probably have killed all the wicked people in the northeast of the Bright Holy Kingdom......
Of course, in that case, Sui Yu and the others will not only have to expose their whereabouts, but at the same time, they basically don't have to do anything else, and they can't just be busy for Tianxingdao!
So, under this silent compromise, Sui Yu and his party easily escorted Link to a small town called Hushan Town.
Well, on one side is a snow-capped mountain, and on the other side is an extremely wide lake, and the name of the town between the magnificent mountain range and the large lake is also a very vivid reflection of the special terrain near the town.
"Stop! What people?! β
Seeing Sui Yu's group of thirty or forty people coming over, one of the guards in charge of guarding the door of Hushan Town was nervous at that time.
No, after the burst, the hands holding the gun trembled a little.
"It's me! Link! β
Fortunately, just when Sui Yu was thinking about how to appease the suspicious doorman, Link came out to relieve Sui Yu.
"Link? You're finally back! β
It looks like the town is not big, just a few thousand people, everyone looks down and doesn't look up, even if they don't know each other, they are basically familiar.
So the guards guarding the door obviously knew Link, and looking at this attitude, the guards guarding the door obviously had a very close relationship with Link.
"When you left town this morning and left a letter saying that you were going to the big city for help, it scared your sister and your mother enough! Just now, your sister was clamoring to go out to find you! Fortunately, my cousin pulled her alive and dead, so I pulled your sister back! I don't want to think about it, there are so many bandits outside, a beautiful girl like your sister goes out, it's definitely worse than death! β
"Sister ......"
Hearing that his sister almost rushed out of the town gate to chase him, and then thinking that he himself had just left the town not far from the town when he was discovered and chased by the bandits, it is conceivable how tightly the bandits blocked the only way out of the mountain, and at the same time, it is not difficult to imagine that if he was not stopped, then once his sister chased out, the consequences would ......
Cold sweat instantly moistened Link's entire back!
It's so cool, it's really cool!
Yes, the endless fear made Link feel cold all over his body at this time, and his hands and feet were cold!
Although it seems that he is willing to risk his life to seek help in the legendary big city for the peace of the town, the cruel facts prove that with Link's ability, let alone being a hero, if he hadn't happened to meet Sui Yu and his party, he would have been killed in the wilderness just after leaving the town!
And what's even more terrifying is that her sister almost chased him!
So once you chase it out, what are the consequences......
Thinking of his mother's obsession with keeping her alive after his father was killed by bandits, was to take care of the two siblings, and if both of them died at the hands of the bandits because of Link's willfulness, then his mother would ......
In short, it was only at this time that Link, who originally wanted to act as a hero to save Hushan Town, reacted, and his actions almost ruined his already broken family!!
"Woooooooooooo Mom! Younger sister! β
After thinking about it, strong self-blame and guilt welled up in my heart, so after my father was killed by a bandit, I was determined to take care of my mother and protect my sister, and Link made an exception for the second time in crying.
And at this moment, Link seems to have completed a spiritual growth on the road of life, which made him understand that as a man, he can't be willful, he must think more about his relatives, he must have a sense of responsibility and responsibility, and he can't do anything wrong.
In short, at this moment, Link has truly grown into a real man!
However, Sui Yu didn't care if Link would gain any insights from this adventure that almost cost him his own life.
With a light cough, Sui Yu said to the guard who was comforting Link softly: "What, since you happen to be passing by here, I wonder if you can let us go in and find a place to rest?" β
Yes, it took a long time to finally encounter this opportunity and successfully save Link from the bandits, and now Sui Yu is finally going to make the next plan, which is to infiltrate Hushan Town, and then lurk for a while to avoid the limelight......
