Volume 1 The Ivory Tower Chapter 1 Adventure Squad
On the orange horizon, the sun is setting.
In a deserted park, a boy sits alone on a swing in a daze.
The autumn breeze with a sad atmosphere blew by, lifting the boy's slightly long hair, revealing a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes. The slightly red and swollen eye sockets betrayed the fact that the boy had just cried.
。。。
"Huh? There is a small child. "A young man emerged from the nearby woods and spotted the boy.
"Hey! No danger! But there is a child! Come here! ”
The young man shouted into the woods.
A few minutes later, there were five more guarded adults in front of the boy, four men and one woman, all armed with weapons.
"Little friend, we are the adventure team of the magnificent base, my name is Liu Jing, can you tell Auntie what your name is? How old are you? Liu Jing, the only female team member, opened her mouth to ask the boy.
"My name is Li Zhi and I'm 13 years old."
The boy gripped the chains of the swing tightly with both hands, his fear palpable.
"Phew~ know your name and age, not a 'crazy person'. Come, stay away and let Xiao Jing chat. ”
Hearing Li Zhi's answer, the five of them were all relieved. After the bald man in it spoke, only Liu Jing was left in front of Li Zhi.
"Little friend Li Zhi, why are you here? What about your mom and dad? Liu Jing squatted down and smiled at Li Zhi.
"I, they're all dead~" A mist rose in Li Zhi's beautiful eyes.
Knowing that Li Zhi's parents were dead, the corners of Liu Jing's mouth subconsciously hooked. Then, she showed a sad expression.
"How so? It's so pitiful, then you can go with Auntie, Auntie has a place to live and food. ”
Li Zhi rubbed his eyes, and after carefully looking at the beautiful face in front of him, he chose to nod.
Liu Jing got up and took Li Zhi's hand, turned around and smiled slyly at his teammates: "It's done~ Let's go." ”
"Well, then let's keep going, and we'll be almost home in two hours." After the bald man glanced at Li Zhi with deep meaning, he ordered to set off.
In this way, Li Zhi followed the five-person team towards the west of the city.
......
After walking for about half an hour, Li Zhi slowed down and pulled Liu Jing to the end of the line.
"Auntie~ What did you just say 'crazy'? Also, these uncles look at me so strangely. ”
"Uh~ this...
Liu Jing smiled a little unnaturally at first, and then pursed her slightly thin red lips. Then she replied.
"That's because Ash is so beautiful, they haven't seen it. Na~ That bald head is our captain, named Jiang Li. The fat man over there is called Kong Da. The first thing I saw you in the park was called Ye Zhu. The oldest is called Wang Shun. They all like you, don't care too much ... As for the 'madman', it is a person whose memory is impaired when he awakens. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Jing remembered that he hadn't asked Li Zhi about his physical condition.
"Has Ash awakened? Is there any divine power? ”
Li Zhi shook his head. "What is awakening? I don't have divine powers. ”
"Awakening is the 'germination' of the 'seed of divine power'~ The divine power transforms the body. After awakening, you will have divine power~"
"But the brain is also included when the divine power is transformed, so it can lead to memory loss and confusion. For every two people who awaken, almost one becomes a madman, but these people are not exactly the same as a madman, so everyone calls such people 'madmen'. ”
"It's been three years since Shenyuan, doesn't Ash even know this?"
After Liu Jing finished speaking patiently, she couldn't help but wonder about Li Zhi's lack of common sense.
"Hmm~ I don't know, my mother didn't tell me about this." Li Zhi was a little ashamed, and his little face was slightly red.
At this time, the front of the line. Ye Zhu returned from exploring the road and began to report to Jiang Li.
"Captain, I found a mouse in front of you, it's a common size growth class, can we do it?"
"! Why don't you make extra money for door-to-door delivery? Come, everyone get ready to fight! ”
Jiang Li waved his hand, and the atmosphere of the team became tense.
Then, the team advanced a few hundred meters, and everyone saw the mouse.
"Holy!" Wang Shun subconsciously burst into a foul language.
Jiang Li also frowned. "That's what you said, common! Body Growth? It's almost as high as I am! You're an itchy kid, right? ”
Ye Zhu's neck suddenly shrank. "Don't~ Captain. My skin doesn't itch at all! It's not that big just now, it's definitely not this one, I'm going to find it! ”
"Alright, alright. That's it, it's just a lot of meat. Prepare for Kongda! ”
Jiang Li stopped Ye Zhu, and after targeting this extra-large mouse, he gave the order.
"Ash, you're hiding behind me."
Liu Jing's voice just fell. Kong Da rushed towards the rats!
"Ah~!"
With Kong Da's roar, his skin shimmered with a cyan glow. After the light passed, he turned into a stone man and slammed into the rat!
"Bang!"
Hearing Kong's shouting, the rat who hurriedly turned back was knocked into his arms. Its four paws broke off the ground, and its body was pinned against the trash can it had just turned over, and finally flew out with the trash can!
"Squeak~!" A shrill cry rang out in midair, followed by the sound of flesh and plastic coming into close contact with the ground.
"Ding Bang ~ Bang Bang!"
On the other side, Jiang Li had taken Ye Zhu to go around behind the mouse long before Kong Da sprinted, so he was now less than three meters away from the falling mouse.
"Ye Zhu! Hair! ”
Jiang Li raised his hands and pointed them at the mouse, which was burning with a raging fire.
"Okay!" Ye Zhu also raised his hands, but it was Jiang Li's back that he was aiming at.
"Whew~"
Two three-meter-long fiery snakes ran towards the rats!
"呲子~囻!" The sound of burning fur accompanied by the screams of rats reached everyone's ears.
The rat panicked and wanted to escape from the entanglement of the fire snake, but wherever it ran, Jiang Li and Ye Zhu followed, and always maintained a distance of about three meters.
Finally, the angry rat turned around and pounced on Jiang Li!
"Bang!"
It was Kong Da who collided unreasonably again...
"Alright, Captain. It doesn't matter if the hair is gone, if the skin is burnt, it won't be sold at a good price. Leave it to me! ”
Not far away, Wang Shun took off his coat and strode towards the rat that had struggled to get up again.
"Yes. You're in the morning! Our flamethrower is running out of gas! Jiang Li saw Wang Shun come up to finish and hurriedly extinguished the flames. Ye Zhu fell directly to his knees, his face was as white as paper, and his divine power was a little overused.
"Come on, little mouse. Show you Lao Tzu's fist as big as a frying pan! ”
Wang Shun shouted to attract the attention of the mouse, and then his arm inflated and grew bigger like an inflated balloon!
"Squeak~!"
The rat extinguished the remaining flames on his body and rushed straight towards Wang Shun. It now desperately needs to vent its anger at being barbecued!
The rat opened its fanged triangular mouth, ready to bite off half of the human head in front of it in one gulp!
"Poof~!" It was greeted with a powerful right hook!
Half of the fangs were left in his mouth, and the hair on his body was burned to the ground, and the mouse tried to run away with tears in his eyes.
It turned around and ran out in the direction of no one.
"Bang!"
Waiting for it is the damn stone man who broke the rat down!
……
As night fell, the procession of four men, one woman and one child continued on their way. It's just that behind them there is a pool of black and red blood floating with rat hair.
"The power of the gods is so powerful! I also want to awaken so I can get revenge on my mother! ”
Ever since Li Zhi witnessed the battle just now, his eyes have continued to glow.
"Want to wake up? Then you can eat a divine power crystal and try it. ”
"However, Auntie still advises you to wait for the natural awakening, and speed up the awakening by devouring the crystals of divine power, which will increase the chance of becoming a 'madman'~" Liu Jing withdrew her palm from Wang Shun's shoulder and turned her head to Li Zhi and said.
Then, with the hand that had just emitted a white light, she gently touched Li Zhi's hair.
"Is the Divine Power Crystal the white ball that the uncles just dug out of the body of the big mouse?" Li Zhi didn't know that he had become a curious baby in the eyes of others.
Hearing Li Zhiguan's divine power crystallization called Xiaoqiu, Liu Jing couldn't help laughing. "Poof~ yes, it's that little ball. That's the crystallization of divine power. ”
"This mouse is in the 'sprout' stage, so its divine power crystals are white. The initial Divine Power Crystals are all gray. This is also known as the 'seed'. ”
"Divine power crystals will show different colors depending on the stage. Only when the organism dies will it coagulate into crystals at the heart, which normally disperse throughout the body. Therefore, the blood of a creature with divine power crystals will emit a shimmer, and the level stage of a divine power creature can be identified by the color of the glimmer. ”
Liu Jing looked ahead, and absentmindedly helped Li Zhi supplement simple 'common sense'.
"Oh, I remember. Auntie, I'm tired of walking, my feet hurt so much~"
After all, Li Zhi is still a 13-year-old child, and the nearly two-hour walk is an injury to his immature feet.
"Hold on a little longer, and you'll be home in no time. In a moment, you will see the gate that says 'Normal University'. The whole pedagogical college is a magnificent base! ”
As he got closer and closer to the base, Liu Jing's gaze at Li Zhi gradually became hot.
