Chapter 5 Beneath the Lively Surface
Luo Ling didn't rush to leave, but poured himself a drink for a while, then packed up his utensils and walked out of the house.
The snow has stopped, and as far as the eye can see, it is covered in silver and silent. Luo Ling stretched his waist and walked straight forward, ready to cross the small park.
Whew, a whirlwind wrapped in ice crystals and snowflakes swept quickly from the southeast, hovering more than ten meters in front of Luo Ling. As soon as the wind and snow dispersed, the figure of a humanoid monster appeared.
The monster had slender limbs, protruding joints, and its fingers and toes were much longer than those of ordinary people, and they were all missing a finger. The skin of the monster was like a white skin, milky white and variegated, and the scales were thin and tight, and if you didn't examine it carefully, it would only be shiny and smooth to the eye, as if you were wearing a discreet high-end leather coat.
The monster has a lizard tail, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, and Luo Ling sees that it stretches and curls freely, flexible and powerful. Knowing that this is the monster's 'other hand', you should pay more attention.
The monster's face is very long, but its eyes are narrow and long, and the eyeballs without whites are always flowing with blue light like ice chips, which makes it a little more hideous, and it is difficult to get along with at first glance.
"I'm Sharu." The monster actually speaks in Chinese, and the words spoken are round, but the only difference is that its voice is very special, with a metallic texture, and it is not an electronic synthesis sound that cannot be imitated.
Luo Ling nodded, listening to what the monster said, his appearance was really a little similar, but the guy in front of him had no crown, no wings, and his skin was not spotted camouflage. "I'm Gohan." Luo Ling replied.
The monster obviously hadn't read Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball", and in the face of Luo Ling's serious answer, it said with a calm face: "My master wants to invite you to meet." ”
Luo Ling grinned, "Is the next sentence not: However, you have to let me see if you are qualified." ”
The monster didn't smile, but there was no change in his face to be exact. It used its actions to show the correctness of Luo Ling's guess. As soon as his body struck, two columns of forked ice picks sprouted from his shoulders and back, reaching his waist, and on his arms, three large ice picks were juxtaposed to form a shield-like weapon. Together, they are shields, and when they are separated, they are cones, and all of them are controlled by the three long fingers under the icicles.
The figure of the monster dissipated on the opposite side, and in the next second, it had already gathered in front of Luo Ling and launched an attack.
"It's actually a teleportation in a spell-like spell, although it's only a low-level, it takes a little time before it flashes." Luo Ling was already holding the gun in his hand, letting go of the monster's top-down shot, and the gun body swept the monster's chest and abdomen horizontally.
Ping-pong, ice chips flew, frost splashed, and the monster blocked Luo Ling's wall with the ice shield of the other arm, and the ice shield only appeared a few fine cracks first, and it was not broken.
One blow was ineffective, Luo Ling immediately increased his strength, and the color gold filled the sword spear with a blue flame light, just dancing in the air, and the surrounding snow was melted by the rolling heat.
The monster is a warrior of the ice genus, and it has a cold breath all over it. Wherever it passed, the transpiring mist immediately turned into condensed particles and fell to the ground, and the melting snow instantly condensed into ice.
Luo Ling and the monster came and went, and after fighting for a long time, the ground around them was already frozen and mist, their feet were unstable, their vision was unclear, and the already fast figures of the two became more and more agile and unpredictable.
Because the teleportation is not perfect, the monster can't teleport away at the moment when Luo Ling's attack is added, so it can only seize some gaps and change the direction with teleportation to assist, and the main thing to rely on when fighting is to dodge and block. And Luo Ling, because he didn't transform, his strength was less than half of his best state, so he tried his best, and he was only on par with this monster.
There is no absolute killing intent, and the strength of the battle is almost the same, so it has become a protracted war, a contest of combat skills and enemy reactions, but both of them are long at killing, veterans who have been in battle for a long time, so that the fight seems to be dangerous and unmatched, and the fire is abnormal, one side is the fire spear like a dragon, and the other side is an ice pick like rain, the blue cold breath and the orange red flame impact and crack, the magic light is overflowing, the strong wind is howling, and there are countless broken snow that is rolled up a little farther than the core of the battle, like fog and smoke, which is completely in line with the ordinary people's taste for the hot scene when the master fights the decisive battle. The only pity is that the audience is missing.
After more than 70 minutes of fighting, the monster teleported out of the battle circle first, staring at Luo Ling coldly, just as before the battle.
Luo Ling also did not blush, did not pant for breath, and looked at the monster with a fighting sword and gun, neither leaving, nor shouting and killing or a sullen face.
"You're a demon." The monster asked.
"You guess,"
"You can push the cup and change the cup with Gardi, you are a demon."
Luo Ling smiled lightly, this monster has learned Chinese well, and even words like pushing the cup and changing the cup can come out smoothly. He knew that the reason why this monster named Sharu couldn't determine his identity was because although he had the aura of a demon descendant, he lacked the aura of an ordinary demon descendant. Luo Ling didn't want to do this, after all, this was tantamount to saying to everyone: I am special among the demon descendants, but he can't do anything, unless he enters the next stage, he can truly isolate the demon blood and restrain his breath, otherwise, he is really a 500-watt large light bulb.
"Huh," an object flew from Shalu's hand towards Luo Ling with a soft whistling. Just looking at that speed, Luo Ling knew that this was definitely not a hidden weapon used for attacking. Choked, Luo Ling caught the incoming object with the flat blade of the fighting sword gun, and it is not safe to catch the items thrown by strangers directly by hand, so it is better to be cautious.
It's a coin, golden, dark in color, and the gold coin is also worn out, and it looks like an old thing. It's just that looking at the demon head on one side, it is obviously full of evil fun, even if it is produced on the earth, it must not flow through the normal channel.
"Fifteen days later, the Cumulus Mountain Thunder Temple. Enter with this token. "There was no emotion in Sharu's speech, what majesty, solemnity, coldness...... Nothing, coupled with its peculiar voice, if it weren't for me, Luo Ling would have thought that it was a robot who sent the message.
"It feels like a gathering of demons, a group of demons dancing wildly," Luo Ling felt a little disdainful in his heart. But he didn't say anything. He was waiting for Sharu's explanation with a mentality that this game had nothing to do with me.
"Your skills are worth this gold coin." When he said this, Sha Lu rarely had some feelings, and Luo Ling heard it, and he was excited.
"Your desire to fight is above the will of your master." Luo Ling's words were full of mockery, he hated Shalu's artificiality, and he had obviously guessed his identity, but he wanted to say that he seemed to sell Luo Ling's favor because of the fight to the point of sympathy.
Sharu had already turned around, and when he heard this, he stopped his steps and turned his head sideways, "I only used five points of strength today. After speaking, with a slight vertical, it turned into a whirlwind of ice crystals and snowflakes again, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Cut, don't admit it, the quality is bad," the tip of the gun was raised, the gold coin flipped and jumped, fell into Luo Ling's hand, and played the gold coin between his fingers, Luo Ling stared at the gold coin, and whispered to himself thoughtfully: "The current surface is really lively......
Packing up his feelings, Luo Ling continued to move forward, the direction did not change, and went straight through the street park. I have to say that after a fight, the road is much better, and those entangled demonic plants are no longer enough to become obstacles in the way.
Creak...... Creak......
The sound of the swing swaying, one of the park's public amusement facilities, the iron chain and iron ring, in the silence after the winter snow, the sound is extremely harsh.
Someone is swinging, woman, silver hair, silver gloves and leather boots, silver dress and short dress, the upper body is designed to be like the dress of a female guest at a movie awards party, with a large V-neckline, a low slit, and two plump milk balls almost half exposed. The design of the lower body is unusually simple and bright, like the hem of the top of a working woman, with a high slit along the front of the thigh, so high that it is no longer suitable for wearing underwear, and only a small curtain-like piece of fabric is left in the shy. The workmanship of the clothes is extremely exquisite, the stitches are fine and even, and there are many embroidery patterns. What's more, the name of lace panties is actually used on the formal wear, so much so that it is not an exaggeration to say that this dress is a concept clothing designed to show the concept of the flirting series.
This woman has mature wheat-colored skin, but in appearance, it is not Ah San, nor Egypt, but typical Europe and the United States, the pupils are bright blue, the pupils are pure black, and she is coated with crystal lipstick that is white, and her figure is absolutely ****, plump and fat, graceful but not weak, with slender thighs, well-proportioned flesh and bones, which can be called perfect.
Luo Ling glanced at the woman, and her cold and bewitching appearance was already visible.
Indifferent, without any curiosity, or any intention to show emotions, Luo Ling regarded this woman as air, and let the swing swing increase significantly, and the small piece of cloth that the woman covered with shame was about to fly, Luo Ling just didn't look at it anymore.
"Hey,"
It wasn't until Luo Ling had walked more than twenty meters that the woman finally couldn't help but take the initiative to talk, and her voice was very tired, making people feel crispy when they listened to it.
Luo Ling seemed to be deaf, his pace was steady, and he didn't even waver at all.
"Hey, you can do that. A big man, knowing that people are just going to attract your attention, but deliberately turning a blind eye is too bad, right?" the woman spoke again was already a meter away from Luo Ling's side, walking in tandem with him, and her tone of voice was even more like being coquettish to a lover who was so good that she was blending oil in honey.
"If I don't do it, I won't let you watch the full martial arts for 45 minutes on the roof of the small building next to the bar." For the woman who crossed a distance of more than 20 meters in an instant, Luo Ling did not show any surprise, as if it should have been like this. And the tone in which he spoke, neither enthusiastic nor cold, glanced at the woman, and added: "The clothes are good." ”
"Thank you," the woman smiled, the enthusiasm on her face was like that of a Spanish hottie who saw her favorite handsome guy, and she couldn't wait to pounce on her immediately and swallow Luo Ling.
"Tell me, what's the matter. Invite me to a private ball. ”
"Hmmm......" the woman snorted with her nose, as if she had just been xo half a second ago, "almost, very private, very private ball, not just fragrant,"
Luo Ling turned his head and smiled at the woman for a second, "If I promise that I will consider participating, will you be able to let me take a walk alone without smelling the scent of roses (devils) on your body." ”
So Luo Ling received another platinum coin, this coin is not old, on the contrary, it is a high-tech product at a glance, the material formula of the coin is extraordinary, and the pattern on it is delicate and vivid, but also shows that the pattern of the coin is made of technology, using advanced nano metal technology.
The woman told Luo Ling that the time of the ball was 7 p.m. in seven days, and there would be a banquet, and then the ball. The location is Guang'an International Trade Building.
One of your light clicks warmed my whole codeword life************
After taking turns to visit each other as if they had been made in advance, everything seemed to be back to normal, with monsters roaming the streets, ethereal city ruins, and snow falling for a while every now and then.
"Hmm...... This snow ......" Luo Ling inadvertently realized some phenomena that he had ignored before, snow. After the gate of the abyss was opened, it is said that the climate of Gwangan has been in a state of time standstill, with no rain, snow, frost, or fog, and even the clouds in the sky are unchanged gray. Only in a few places did the rain be unusually heavy, or the snow would not stop, or it would be foggy all day long. Now, there is a lot of snowfall, and the appearance of the clouds has changed.
"Does that mean...... The Abyssal Gate has stabilized, and the full fusion has begun to enter the final stage, and when the climate is fully restored, it will be permanently open to the demon world, and officially become the backyard of a demon lord. Luo Ling tried hard to recall some relevant knowledge, which came from the awakened demon blood, but unfortunately it was all a few heads, tails, or no fragments in between.
It is conceivable that when the demon's blood is divided into countless parts and falls apart and enters the worlds of thousands of planes, it is impossible to organize the knowledge into a complete file, just like the teacher asks the group to memorize classical Chinese in class, and one person takes one paragraph.
After the demon descendants awaken, how much inherited knowledge they can use, and how much correct information they can infer from that knowledge, it depends on the talent and fate of the demon descendants and the efforts they have acquired. Anyway, the Great Demon is not worried at all that its descendants will misunderstand the information and make all kinds of oolongs, because after it is truly resurrected, these will become interesting memories in the sea of consciousness, and it can bring up these memories like an old cow in his leisure time and savor them slowly. Otherwise, how can the time in 10,000 years be spent?
"In the past six months, the concentration of magic energy has also increased a lot." Now that we have consciousness, we can perceive many changes that we don't notice if we don't pay attention to them. In the past six months, the concentration of magic energy on the surface has increased significantly compared to the original. This change will cause a cascade of effects, for example, more incredible things will have the 'soil' for them to happen, and the sorcerers will find that their spells will be more powerful to varying degrees. The prevention of demonic energy radiation in the human living area has become more severe, and the restrictions on monsters that rely heavily on demonic energy have been reduced, so that their range of activity has greatly increased; Other monsters who would have been reluctant to come to this world due to the lack of magic energy concentration can finally happily travel to the other world......
"Not long after leaving the base, I found the stormtroopers who traveled in groups, and there was a tendency to enhance the elitism, these are all real examples," Luo Ling quickly recalled the road he relied on to hunt. Indeed, many monsters that were originally rare to look at a few months ago have become public faces, and monsters like the Battle Armor Demon have also appeared. "Then, the difference in the time of invasion, and even various other reasons, have led to different depths of demonization around the world. In some places, it is already so serious that it is shocking? For example, where the self-awakening demon descendant appears......"
How exciting the outside world is, Luo Ling only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg through Galdi's narrative. Truth be told, it may have been the impact of his early years, and he didn't care much about anyone or anything other than the circle he identified. No one could fully understand him, and he never expected anyone to do.
Luo Ling himself also thought that his typical solipsistic temperament is nothing in itself, and the earth will not stop because of one more person who is selfish in his eyes. But once this person has great power, it is a different matter. This power can cause all kinds of problems, one of which is the coveting of this power, whether it is trying to snatch it or trying to borrow the chicken to lay eggs, it is the embodiment of covetousness. And with the deterioration of this problem, by now, Luo Ling has gradually become overwhelmed and difficult to support alone.
In this way, Luo Ling was faced with a choice, to change himself, to come out of his complete self, and try some strategies such as cultivating his subordinates, joining forces vertically and horizontally, and forming a force to deal with open guns and hidden arrows from all directions. Or, continue to be yourself, ignoring the changes in the situation outside, and as for which sea the sampan that floats from the creek will eventually be overturned, that is a matter for later.
With Luo Ling's IQ, he couldn't find a better choice, and the question of forming a party or going it alone is no longer worth thinking about now. If you think about it, it's unrealistic.
"Choose whether to go left or right, and then really do something to achieve something......
Once you have made a decision, you will no longer hesitate and work hard to do it. This quality allows Luo Ling to always be firm in his beliefs and move forward.
"It's dangerous to play a wavering force that can affect the balance of the scales, and if he doesn't have the ability to play left and right, he will be the first to be targeted." Luo Ling played with two gold coins, one yellow and one white, in his left and right hands, "It seems that I also need a boss and some subordinates to ensure the basis for existence and improvement, such as time, such as material provision." So, through interactive exchanges, it is obviously imminent to have more information, and there is really no reason not to participate in this ball......"
