Chapter 174: Forget the original intention
It was snowing heavily, and this one was just starting to fall in the morning.
Not long after, the snow on the ground was so thick that it was white at some point, and there would be a clear footprint on it.
This is the wilderness of the Barnett Kingdom, although it is still low in May and has not yet entered June, and it should be hot summer elsewhere.
But here in the Kingdom of Barnett, there is goose feather snow in the sky, and the temperature is even colder than the winter in the imperial capital.
The Austin team walked on the snow, making a "crunch, crunch" sound when they stepped on the freshly piled snow. The snow-white field leaves only a series of footprints, which will not soon be covered by the falling goose feather snow.
It's not cold when it's snowing heavily, and it's even colder when the snow melts.
Although this kind of place close to the north, the period of heavy snow is not the coldest time, but Tong Xi has already put on cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton boots, and a velvet hat and scarf, which are wrapped in a round ball with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the scarf with the hat pulled low is stretched high, shrinking in Andrea's arms, leaving only the pair of big light blue eyes exposed, curiously looking at the snowflakes falling in the sky.
Although Tong Xi had already propped up the magic shield and completely blocked the snowflakes that should have fallen on his body, the cold air could still come through the magic shield, which made Tong Xi's little face under the scarf red.
Except for Tong Xi, although the others also wore a slightly thicker pair, they were definitely not as exaggerated as the inner and outer three layers.
After all, the cultivation of a martial artist is originally a process of exercising the body, and a powerful martial artist can even control the density of his skin to the extent that it can resist ordinary swords, and of course something as simple as keeping out the cold can also be done.
So on a snowy day, if you don't shiver with cold while wearing single clothes, you are a high-level martial artist.
As for the other magician Ci'er in the team, and the "ordinary person" Elle, they just changed into a dress that was a little thicker than usual.
The location where they are located is already the border of the Barnett Kingdom, and the Barnett Kingdom is the destination of Tong Xi and his party at this time, the neighboring country of the Barnett Empire. As soon as you pass through this wilderness, you will enter the borders of the Baconir Empire.
After more than two months and a journey through countries large and small, I finally came here.
Because of the large and small battles experienced along the way, and the fact that the Austin team did not rush at full speed, but "play while walking" and "practice while walking", it took three times more time to complete the journey in a month.
However, this extra three times the time was obviously within the calculation of the team, and after this journey, it was just in time for the start of the game when they arrived at the Bacconir Empire.
Rather than waiting for the game to start in the Baconir Empire, it is better to walk around and have fun along the way in such a planned way.
Along the way, after experiencing large and small battles, the Austin squad has greatly improved both individual strength and team tacit understanding, and even the newly joined Elle gets along very well with everyone.
With Tong Xi's knowledge, with Ellie's talent and hard work, in terms of attack power alone, Ellie at this time is already comparable to a sixth-level magician!
The "Battle Apothecary" has a very big advantage, which can also be understood as a disadvantage.
That is, the combat ability of the "combat pharmacist" will not be like that of a magician or a warrior, limited by magic and fighting spirit, for the pharmacist, the potion reserve in her hand is the combat power, that is, as long as the potion reserve is enough, then she can fight all the time!
Of course, most people don't dare to play like this, because every attack of the Apothecary throws out a potion!
And the materials for the potions, even the cheapest first-level materials are priced in gold coins! In other words, all that is thrown out is gold! It's all about smashing people with money!
Of course, this question is not a problem for Elle at all, after all, she has a rich father......
And among the team, the one who has improved the most is Wayne. Tong Xi, who used to be a sword saint, has now lost his fighting spirit, but he still has eyesight and a theoretical basis for fighting.
The progress of these high-level martial artists in the team can be easily judged from some movements and the strength of the fighting spirit.
A strong person can easily see through the cultivation of people who are lower than themselves, although Tong Xi has lost his cultivation, but his eyesight is still there.
Reaching the level of a high-level martial artist and a high-level magician, it will become more and more difficult every time he advances, although Wayne still failed to break through the eighth-level martial artist, but he has reached the peak of the seventh-level, and he is almost one step away.
In other words, Wayne at this time has caught up with Berwen's strength!
It only took three months to go from the peak of the sixth level to the peak of the seventh level, and a large level was crossed in the middle, and this progress was definitely very fast.
Originally, the purpose of participating in this Demon Martial Arts Academy competition was to let these members improve their strength through actual combat again and again, so along the way, Tong Xi was still very satisfied with the speed at which the strength of the members increased.
And within the team, Berwen, Wayne, Andrea, and Xi'er, who are familiar with Tong Xi, and who have grown up together since childhood, have all said that Tong Xi has changed.
Tong Xi himself will look back and reflect whenever he is free, where has changed when he is low, and where will the problem appear when he is low, so that everyone will feel that they are different from before.
After reflecting for a long time, Tong Xi finally found that his state of mind had changed.
Maybe it's because the threat of the future is too powerful? And Tong Xi himself knew that this was his last life, which was confirmed by the black-robed old man Kleist in the mysterious room.
"The price of the soul is heavier than you think, and once again, your soul will become infinitely close to nothingness because of this payment, and you will die directly in infancy because you have no strength." The black-robed old man Kleist said firmly.
Maybe it's because you know this is your last chance? Tong Xi invisibly put too much pressure on himself, everything he did, every time he showed favor to others, he would have a different purpose calculation, and strive not to waste this last opportunity.
But along the way, I have experienced a lot of things, and unconsciously, even Tong Xi himself has forgotten about it.
I forgot why I care about everyone, why I want to help everyone improve my strength, why I want to do something......
That's right, she has forgotten the original intention, forgot the purpose of doing this, and only knows that she should do it, and this will make everyone better......
Although he has forgotten why he did this, Tong Xi feels that this feeling of not asking for "why" is also very good.
Just like at this time, she shrunk in Andrea's warm embrace, just staring at the scenery that was slowly covered with snow white on the side of the road, ignoring the road ahead.
Even if you don't know what's ahead of you, maybe it's a stone? Maybe it's the big pit? Or maybe there's a high-level magical beast waiting there?
But at this time, Tong Xi was not afraid at all......
Sometimes, it's a good idea to forget about your destination and instead enjoy the scenery on the side of the road.
Isn't it?
