After a while, there was a rush of footsteps from upstairs, and Clear Sky reflexively turned his head to look, and immediately met Leoria, who was hurrying down from the stairs, with a serious expression.
Seeing the clear sky sitting in the corner and eating leisurely, he did not hesitate to run over, grabbed her right arm and dragged it in the direction of the inn door. Some of them couldn't figure out the situation, so they hurriedly asked, "Where are we going?" ”
"Get out of here! - Leave now and set off for Apocalypse City! Leoria replied firmly and succinctly, and pulled the clear sky to the inn compound, and with his whistle, a lion with immaculate white hair leaped out of the shadows in the corner behind the stable, and jumped in front of them at once. It shook its sideburns, which were blinding white in the sun, as if they were a mythical hero.
Leoria stepped neatly onto his white lion, and then stretched out his hand to the clear sky: "Come on!" Departure. ”
"What about Sandy? He told me that he was going to take me to the ...... of Apocalypse City."
Before Clear Sky could finish speaking, Leoria lost patience and lifted her onto the mount, his strength made the little mage girl of level 20 completely unable to resist, and before she could hold the rider in front of her and sit down, the white lion had already leapt towards the gate of the inn courtyard, and then ran wildly towards the road to the north.
"Hey! Let me go!! I can't leave my companions behind!! Qingkong was a little crazy in his heart, and in the face of this almost kidnapping incident, he wanted to scold his mother.
"Don't worry, I've left a message for your companion Sandy. Last night I borrowed a pen and paper from the innkeeper and wrote him a message telling him that "I'll take the girl, see you in Ranger Town." and told the innkeeper to stuff the note under the crack in the door of his room for me, so that he could see it when he returned to his room. Leoria finally began to explain, and said loudly in the warmer summer currents, "When I went to find him last night, he was in a duel with Cecilia, Manchester's notoriously violent gunslinger, and he was only one breath left - sorry, I arrived too late last night to save his life." Fortunately, Cecilia fought with people all night, and her physical strength was exhausted, but she was able to avenge your friend and finally kill her. It's a pity that I don't have the resurrection skill to pull Sandy back from Rashomon, so I'm going to go to the cemetery to meet his resurrection. Before I got close to the cemetery, in the distance, I saw the back of Sorens riding on a black unicorn in the rain, and he stood quietly on the side of the cemetery...... I can imagine that the resurrected ones are about to encounter a bloody battle in the cemetery, followed by another series of casualties. I guess the first players who were killed in the evening didn't return because they were slaughtered again and again by these bad players in Manchester, right? …… The last few days of the inn will be a paradise of death, a slaughterhouse of Sorens - I must take you away, out of this land of right and wrong, I have a more important task. And you, you need to help me deliver that letter to Apocalypse City. ”
"So you just casually decided everything for me?!" Clear Sky was furious in his heart, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"The situation is the last resort, girl, I'm sorry." Leoria said this, but Clear Sky felt that he couldn't feel a trace of his introspection, and just as he wanted to continue to express his dissatisfaction, he bluntly cut off the whole topic, "Let's concentrate on the road, the killers and pursuers may soon be chasing after us, in order not to attract attention, I will choose to cross the wild area, take the more dangerous route, if I encounter any killers on the way - remember, your code of action should be to hide and run, don't worry about my safety, run by yourself, understand?" ”
Sunny Sky swallowed her saliva and swallowed all the complaints and grievances for a while, more worried than these, the unknown danger described by Leoria made her more worried......
Leoria's white lion mount was as his master had said, and not far from the north entrance of the crossroads inn, he plunged into the woods beside him, and was very experienced enough to hide his white body in the shadows of bushes and tree trunks.
Then, there are a lot of troubles not to take the main path, because even having a high-level character like Leoria by his side does not change the fact that the Clear Sky level is too low.
From the perspective of game system design, in order to facilitate players to fight monsters and upgrade smoothly all the way, the road from Prayer Village to the Crossroads Post Station is the world of level 20 to 30 monsters, and through the north entrance of the post station to the north of the Ranger Town, this large section of the world is the world of monsters above level 30, and the further north you go, the higher the level of monsters. Monsters are all creatures and objects that are hostile to the player character and will actively attack, including wild bandits, mutated animals, and strange vegetation. Whether it is a hostile player or a system monster, whether it is from a different world of science and technology, or a game world that exists in this system design, there is a nature to bully the soft and fear the hard. Sensing the existence of low-level tender meat to be slaughtered such as a clear sky, the monsters spared no effort to attack.
When she encounters a poisonous flower that shoots spikes, she shoots at the clear sky, but fortunately, Leoria has a sword wider than the clear sky's face to block and block for her;
When she encounters a crazy mutant wolf, she chases and pounces on the clear sky, but fortunately, Leoria has a sword wider than the clear sky's face to block and block for her;
When she encounters goblins who can shoot arrows, throw stones, and chase after them with mallets, Leoria has a sword wider than Clear Sky's face to block and block......
There is no omnipotent Leoria, with Clear Sky's current tattered equipment (in Leoria's eyes, tattered is not enough to describe) and low-level status, it is estimated that he will not be able to withstand any two hits from these monsters.
In the evening, Leoria tensed her nerves all the way to the grassland where the peaks of Wuyu Mountain could be seen in the distance. In the shadow of a huge stone, the two stopped to rest for a while, and Leoria finally couldn't help but ask her to cultivate and improve herself.
"When you encounter an attack later, while I help you solve it, you don't just watch, and send out skills as much as possible to cooperate with my attack. This way, although you can't kill monsters, you can gain experience and level up a little faster. Seriously, the route from Crossroads Station to Ranger Town is too dangerous for your current level, and you won't be able to survive without me. ”
"I know...... "Clear Sky understands that Leoria has worked very hard to protect himself all the way, and he also feels that he is incompetent, "I was afraid that I would attract more monsters and cause you more trouble, so I didn't dare to make a move...... I could tell that these monsters were coming at me. ”
"It's true, monsters, like players, like to bully characters with lower levels and much weaker than themselves. But it doesn't matter, I'm here, and I'll help you out. Of course, because I'm here, you won't get as much experience as you would if you were calling on your own, and I'm at a very high level, so I'll take a lot of the actual experience gained based on the weighting formula that the system calculates the score. But,On the other hand,Your level is very low.,Killing these high-level monsters will also correspondingly gain a lot of experience.,Positive and negative will offset a part.,No matter what, you'll gain a certain amount of experience.,If you can complete more fatal blows to monsters.,More experience will be gained.。 Speaking of this, Leoria spun around his mind and suggested, "Anyway, I guess I'm going to camp in the mountains tonight, I have anti-fatigue anti-sleep body mushroom cake in my backpack, I'll give you some later, enough to survive the night." Take advantage of this time, I'll take you to level up. ”
"Okay." When encountering an opportunity to improve his ability, Qingtian is of course very happy, "How to practice?" ”
"Come with me, I'll take you to find the most suitable place for monsters to gather." Leoria raised a smile on the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile that reassured the clear sky.
The rest is over.
The sun began to glow orange and purple, and the sky gradually darkened.
Leoria wandered around the foot of Wuyu Mountain with the clear sky, and finally found the mouth of a cave with red phosphorus fire. He led the girl up a few large rocks, stood on a high place and looked into the cave, only to see that there seemed to be a clump of slimy strange creatures moving in the cave.
"What kind of monster gathering place is this?" Clear Sky asked curiously.
"It's the result of a failed goblin crafting, perhaps they started out trying to cast defensive sorcery on the algae lands, but ended up creating strange creatures that we all call swamp monsters. They usually appear in large groups in swamp-filled caves or low-lying areas, and if they are entangled by these swamp monsters, they will crawl all over their bodies, stick to the ground and be unable to move, and finally be devoured alive by them. So don't look at them as just a puddle of mud, in fact, they are not simple opponents. Leoria explained.
"That'...... Didn't I come here to die? Clear Sky said and sighed unconsciously.
"No, it's best to bring you here, as swamp monsters are one of the monsters that like to pack in groups, and it will save you time on your path to leveling up."
After Leoria finished speaking, he jumped off the big rock, pointed to the mountain that bent out of the shelter at his feet, and asked her, "We will rest in this place tonight, do you have any opinions?" ”
Clear Sky can only listen to him now, what's the use of saying that he has an opinion? - She nodded obediently.
"Alright, then you come down, we should go to the swamp monster's lair and get to work!" Leoria announced loudly.
