Chapter XXVII
Xiao Yu continued to explain: "This is a magical spar containing soul power, which can repair equipment, and can also be absorbed by people, used to supplement the loss of spiritual power, supplement our ability to use natural skills, and restore physical strength to a certain extent. ”
"That is, after our skills and spells are used to the limit. After absorbing the power of the Soul Gem, you can quickly restore the missing Spiritual Power, thus restoring the ability to use skills and spells? ”
"Let's just think of it as a magic potion in the game, so to speak." Xiao Yu nodded, "In addition to repairing equipment and restoring the function of spiritual power. Soul Gems can also be used to recharge most magic items, such as the Flame Ring. Under normal conditions, the Flame Burst Ring takes forty-eight hours to recover, but if the Soul Gem Power is charged, it can greatly shorten the recovery time of the Flame Burst Spell. However, it is not cost-effective to charge magic items, which consume a lot of money, and it is best not to use them lightly unless you have to. ”
Han Kexin: "I really can't see it, a small stone is really useful, I think this will definitely become our main consumable in the future!" ”
"Soul Gems are practical consumables, and in fact they will be used as currency as they are developed. This kind of low-level soul gem is more than enough to exchange for a gray low-grade piece of equipment. ”
"Ah, this thing is so valuable?" Han Kexin's eyes widened, in her impression, equipment was a very precious thing, "So, we are equivalent to getting three gray pieces of equipment?" ”
Xiao Yu did not deny it, "It can be said that soul gems cannot be used as a currency for trading in the short term. However, these three soul gems appeared at the right time for us, and several of us had a serious consumption of spiritual power, which was just enough to replenish them. ”
In the end, Xiao Yu took one of these three lower-level soul gems, Han Kexin took one, and one gave Jiang Xiaowen, the energy of the three of them is very huge, and the power in the soul gem can be quickly replenished and consumed, a lower-level soul gem can be absorbed in just ten minutes, and the three of them directly recover about three or four percent, which is enough for Xiao Yu to maintain the "Eye of Insight" for half an hour, Han Kexin used blood to sacrifice twice, and Jiang Xiaowen could barely use the "psychedelic powder" once.
The surrounding flames gradually extinguished, and dozens of minutes passed.
The crowd didn't dare to rest for too long, so they simply packed up their things, ate a small half of the chocolate each, and set off before dawn came completely. After this battle, the strength of this team has been raised to a new level, and the weakest one of them has also killed six or seven monsters, among which there are a few outstanding people like Yun Yun, who have already killed fifteen or sixteen stronger zero-order monsters, and have completely reached the late-stage level of the zero-order, and are about to break through to the peak of the zero-order.
If there are two or three more beginner-level monsters for her to kill, a beginner-level master will be born in this team again!
It is precisely because of this that although there are often sneak attacks by monsters on the way, many times they can be easily eliminated by others without Xiao Yu and the five people making a move. I didn't encounter any beginner-level monsters along the way, and the existence of zero-order, Xiao Yu and the five people didn't bother to do it, and tried to leave it to the rest of the team to kill. It is worth mentioning that Huang Jianmin himself is not weak, and after last night's fight, his strength can also be ranked in the middle and upper among everyone.
The weather was cooler on this day, with thick clouds piling up in the sky to block out the scorching sun, and the forest was less stuffy, making it suitable for trekking. After about three hours of arduous trekking, Huang Jianmin finally found the forest in the area where the police station was located.
"This is a mark I left behind." Huang Jianmin found a cross-shaped mark on a tree, he pointed to the woods in front of him and said: "This time it will definitely not be wrong, everyone walks in this direction, with our speed, it will probably take more than 20 minutes to arrive." But it's been so many days, and I don't know how the people are there, whether they have been attacked by monsters. ”
"Let's go in and see, let's go. Try to slow down as much as possible, and don't be careless. ”
Xiao Yu led everyone into the woods, but before he could walk out for five minutes, Jiang Xiaowen suddenly noticed something unusual, "Look, everyone, there is something lying on the ground in front of you, it seems to be a monster!" ”
Everyone was shocked, and Xiao Yu and a few people immediately rushed over.
There was indeed a corpse on the ground, it was a one-eyed ape, more than two meters tall, with a hideous face, a very burly body, gray-black hair all over his body, and a pair of claws that were very sharp.
There is no threat though, because it is dead.
Jiang Xiaowen was a little surprised, "Xiao Yu, how can there be a dead orangutan here?" ”
"This isn't an orangutan." Xiao Yu squatted down to check it, "It's called the One-Eyed Ape-Man, and it's a beginner-level monster. The strength is relatively high among the beginner monsters. The corpse still has warmth, and the time of death should be very close. ”
Jin Shi asked, "How could a powerful beginner monster die here, this is too abnormal." If it's killed by another monster, it's supposed to take the corpse away, or eat it directly. ”
"The body was intact and showed no signs of being bitten." Xiao Yu examined the wounds on its body, "There are several gunshot wounds, but the power of the bullet can't kill this monster." Its fatal wound was in the heart, as if it had been pierced by some sharp weapon, pierced back and forth, cleanly, apparently killed by a human, but it was not easy for me to inflict such damage. ”
"Even you can't do it?!"
Several people were all shocked.
Huang Jianmin suddenly found that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and several of them even had some bad eyes, so he quickly explained: "Don't look at me, I also feel very puzzled about this matter!" ”
"You didn't tell us these ......" Han Kexin had a look of defensiveness in his eyes, and asked, "There are obviously very, very powerful masters in your team, should you be deceiving us?" Let's go all over here. ”
"I swear absolutely not, really!" Huang Jianmin was also puzzled, "Although there are many people hiding there, most of them are refugees, the elderly, children, and women. But among those people, not to mention the same as Xiao Yu, it is much worse for you to take out a random person to compare, I can definitely guarantee this! ”
Jin Shi pointed to the one-eyed ape-man on the ground, "He can break the heart of the one-eyed ape-man, and he can also pierce the tough body back and forth, so even the four of us don't have the ability." That man's attack power is obviously above ours, how do you explain that? ”
"Sorry, can't explain!" Huang Jianmin's face still did not change in the face of questioning, "But what I said is all true, there is absolutely no deception, if you don't believe it, I can't do anything." ”
Jiang Xiaowen stood up and said: "I believe Uncle Huang Jianmin, he used to be a jealous and hateful criminal police captain, and he was still the pioneer of the city's anti-crime efforts!" I don't think he's going to do anything to hurt us. ”
"No need to say more," Xiao Yu stood up, "We don't have enough physical strength to return, since we have come here, let's go in and have a look." Find out what the situation is. The piercing of that one-eyed ape's corpse doesn't mean anything, have you forgotten the Flame Ring? ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts were certain.
At this stage, there are very few people who can reach the initial strength, but if you are lucky enough to get a certain magic item, you can indeed exert superhuman attack power. If the other party killed the one-eyed ape with the help of a magic item, then everything can be explained, and the Flame Ring is several times stronger than this. Magic items take a long time to recover and pose little threat for a short period of time.
Han Kexin was a little worried, but it could only be so. The group continued to walk for more than ten minutes, and there were more and more traces of human activities, and it seemed that they were about to reach their destination, and even through the dense tree trunks, they could faintly see the ruins of some buildings.
The crowd walked around a few large trees, and finally saw the ruins of some buildings, and even the road full of cracks, which should have been moved here with several streets, and there were many shops, including bakeries, fruit shops, etc., which should have a lot of food. But when everyone's eyes fell on the trees closest to the ruins, their faces changed.
There were seven trees in total, and on each tree there were four or five corpses pinned to them, all of them with distorted faces and pained faces, which should have been pinned to the trees alive, and the trunks were soaked in blood and turned dark red. There are old people and children, men and women, and the only thing they have in common is that they have been stripped naked, and all of them have traces of torture and bruises. Some people were even cut off their hands and feet alive, or a few pieces of flesh and skin were peeled alive, and a flock of black strange birds were landing on the corpses, pecking at the flesh with relish.
It makes people look at it, and some scalps are numb.
Among them was a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old, not long after she died, her body was basically not destroyed, her appearance was delicate and peugeot, but at this moment she was stripped naked and stapled to a tree, her tender body was full of traces of whipping, her snow-white skin was full of flesh, her small chest was full of tooth marks, and her lower body was blurred with flesh and blood, obviously she was condemned to death after suffering unimaginable humiliation!
Jiang Xiaowen was a little unbearable, hiding behind Xiao Yu and not daring to look at it again.
"Brute, brute!" Huang Jianmin's eyes turned red when he saw this, and he roared angrily: "What happened during the time I left!" ”
Han Kexin warned: "The people here are really not good things, everyone be careful!" ”
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in front of him, and five or six people with all kinds of homemade and rudimentary weapons in their hands rushed over, and the two who took the lead were still holding Type 64 pistols in their hands, and the muzzles were aimed at Xiao Yu and the others.
"Stand still, who are you!"
When the crowd heard the sound, they immediately clenched their weapons and were ready to fight.
