Chapter 49: The Tail
Liu Li didn't know how much trouble the last black hole teleportation would cause to the pursuing team. The black hole, which was originally like a sea urchin, was not so stable, and the collapse during the teleportation process not only took away Liu Li's left arm, but also caused a violent explosion of the "sea urchin" that remained in place. The four warriors who rushed the fastest were now in a very miserable state, and the "Bloody Hand" Hogg could no longer be called a Bloody Hand, he had become a Bloody Man entirely. However, Hoggniu's tall and large stature also withstood a lot of damage for the three companions behind him, and at least the remaining three warriors were far from losing their combat power. Pursuers farther away were also injured in the explosion, and there were only a few who could continue to follow the three leaders in pursuit. After all, it is a black hole mixed with the element of death, and even the slightest abrasion can cause serious consequences. As for those drinkers who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Liu Li can only say sorry to them who were affected by the pond fish.
Rabit sat in his little yard, his favorite carrot in his mouth, as always. Only now, the deep gaze of the old orc seemed to penetrate all obstacles, looking in the direction of the gates of Sin City. As the creator of the city's large-scale magic circle and the manager of the most important node, the elemental fluctuations in the city could not escape his perception, and he was also aware of the battle at the entrance of the hotel. "Is the 'Death Elemental'...... It's really scary stuff. The sigh of self-muttering was not heard by anyone.
In fact, from the moment the caravan entered the city, the "white face" had already begun to plan this attack, and although the caravan's entry into the city was not a big fanfare, it was not deliberately concealed. Old Rabit was not unaware of this matter, and the reason why he didn't remind Liu Li was just to see Liu Li's performance. It's a pity that as the manager of Sin City, he didn't expect that Liu Li would actually absorb so many death elements. But the current situation is not bad, at least the troublesome young man has left, and the city of sin will return to its former peace. As for whether Liu Li would be injured or even killed in the face of the attack, in fact, the old orc didn't particularly care. Although he had some friendship with the spellcaster of the same vein as Ex, he didn't care too much, and it was already benevolent and righteous to hand over his life's cultivation experience to Liu Li, and Rabitt felt that he didn't need to do more. What's more, the spellcasters of the Ex line all follow the route of battle mages, and naturally have their own uniqueness in terms of combat, just like tonight's encounter, it is obviously not the caravan side that suffers.
When Liu Li opened his eyes again, it was already daylight, and the speed of the wildebeest pulling the cart in the swamp was already very limited, and the speed of the convoy had slowed down a lot since it had already left Sin City. It's not that I'm not worried about the pursuit of "Masquerade" and "Maned Dog", but nothing happened after a night and a morning, and the wildebeest that continued to run to pull the cart couldn't bear it, so Eve had no choice but to make the decision to slow down.
The wound on his left arm has been treated, and Liu Li can still clearly feel the pain at the broken point, but the tingling and itching along with the pain also makes Liu Li feel a little relieved, and he can clearly feel the "growth" of his left arm. This is the first time Liu Li has intuitively felt her magical resilience. In the past, when he came back from the dead, he was usually in a coma, but only this time, Liu Li, who was awake, knew that his recovery ability was so ...... Perverted. The fracture that broke at the elbow last night has now recovered to the upper end of the forearm, close to the elbow, and at this rate, it will only take more than ten days for the whole hand to recover as before.
Accompanying Liu Li is a squirrel, this girl seems to regard Liu Li as the only support in this world, and if it is not necessary, she will not leave Liu Li for half a step. Although the girl had rested for a long time yesterday, she was obviously tired enough from a night's travel, and she was dozing off at this time, wagging her tail unconsciously. Liu Li, who had just regained consciousness and was not particularly conscious, had a resounding heart, and couldn't help but stretch out his claws to the little tail in front of him.
"Ahh
Well, an exclamation made Liu Li completely awake, and the squirrel no longer dozed off before, and then the eyes of the two people looked at the squirrel's tail that was still held by Liu Li at the same time.
"Don't let go yet!" If the squirrel with fierce eyes hadn't wanted to pounce and bite with her teeth for Liu Li's sake of being a wounded person now, she would have already seen that Liu Li was interested in her tail, and when the two were alone before, the squirrel found that Liu Li's gaze often moved with the flicking of her tail, and today he finally let him succeed in a moment of negligence. When he was besieged by "Masquerade" before, he was grabbed by Liu Li's tail and dragged out of the black hole, but at that time, after all, it was in the middle of the battle, and the feeling was not so strong, where was it like now, he was resting at ease, and the whole person was in a very relaxed state, not to mention how strong the feeling was in the face of a sudden attack.
"Hey, you two pay attention to the influence, you're still on the run, you have to flirt until it's safe. Although she gave up her car to Liu Li to rest, Eve was not far from the carriage, she heard the scream and thought something was wrong, but she didn't expect to look in along the window of the carriage, and what appeared in front of her was the appearance of the squirrel Xia Fei's cheeks.
Liu Li didn't mean to, he had raised cats for most of his life before crossing, and those little things also liked to flick their tails in front of Liu Li's eyes when he was resting, Liu Li naturally grabbed their fluffy tails and held them in his hands every time to play. This time it's just because he just regained consciousness after being injured, and in a hazy state, he found that a tail was flung in front of his eyes, and it was almost swept to his face, so he shot under the conditioned reflex.
"Uh...... I'm sorry. Liu Li hurriedly let go of the tail in his hand, and was a little reluctant in his heart. The squirrel's tail is about a meter long, and there are fine and soft black short hairs on it, which feels very good. Especially the appearance of the frightened short hair exploding, Liu Li's right hand that he had just let go had a tendency to move.
"Hey, how are you feeling? The red glow on the squirrel's face has not faded, but it is also heartache when he sees Liu Li's broken arm. In this strange world, Liu Li was the first person she had ever met, and she had been taking care of him during the time she had just crossed over. Especially during the time when the two of them were alone in the swamp before, if it weren't for Liu Li by her side, maybe she would have died in the mouth of the demonic beast, and she naturally had a certain good impression of Liu Li in her heart.
"Ahem, it shouldn't be fine. Liu Li also settled down, relieved the embarrassment in his heart, slowly raised his left arm, which was only half of the length left, and said in a relaxed tone: "It will grow in almost ten days." ”
"Is this the case with all of you here? It's not so easy to be reborn from a severed limb in my world. The squirrel was surprised by Liu Li's resilience and ignored his previous offense.
"Maybe I'm the only one who is special. Liu Li smiled bitterly, although every time he was injured or even died, he could recover as before, but the pain during the injury and the weakness after the injury were unavoidable. He didn't even know if he would gradually get used to the feeling of injury and death if he continued like this, and see it as a normal state, knowing that in this dangerous world, this kind of mentality is extremely dangerous. In the world of magic, Liu Li only peeked at the tip of the iceberg, who knows if the enemies he faces in the future will have a way to target his "immortal" characteristics.
Seeing the squirrel's tiredness, Liu Li did not continue to talk to her, but let her rest at ease. Immediately Liu Li sank his consciousness into the meditation space, the weakness of his body did not affect his meditation, although the pain and itching on his arm from time to time had been stimulating Liu Li's nerves, but as a spellcaster, he naturally had a way to stay focused.
The loss of an arm greatly weakened Liu Li's combat effectiveness, and magic could not be manipulated at will, and the sense of urgency in his heart made Liu Li unable to settle down. He didn't know how far the pursuers were behind him, and the recovery of the injury on his arm could only rely on the accumulation of time, but the control of the black element could be improved through practice. What Liu Li is most glad about now is that the vigorous vitality contained in his body has not been affected by the corrupting nature of the death element, and his recovery power is as strong as ever.
In the meditation space, the azure in the center was still pulsating gently, and there was no abnormality due to the two more ancient runes on it. Since those two ancient runes no longer hid their figures, Liu Li finally realized that the blue was not static, but had been in a state of slow rotation. It has no fixed form, like an aggregate of glowing light, filling the veins of elemental clusters with its own light. The way Zhan Lan exists is very strange, no matter which direction Liu Li's consciousness "looks" at it, it will present a two-dimensional plane that is almost pentagonal, and the two runes occupy the two corners of the pentagon next to each other, constantly rotating with the flow of Zhan Lan, changing their positions.
Liu Li could clearly guess the colors of the three runes he was missing, blue, white, and green corresponded to the five elements of this world with the red and black runes he had obtained. He didn't know what the reason for the formation of the red rune was, or even when it appeared above the azure blue. But the reason why the black rune appeared was because he now had both the dark and death characteristics of the black element, which Liu Li could be sure of.
Liu Li knew that the reason why he couldn't control magic well at the moment was because his mental power was not equal to the amount of elements contained in his body. If you want to control magic as handy as before, improving your spiritual power is the only way, and with the improvement of your spiritual power, your strength will inevitably enter the first order or even the second order. Liu Li has now basically confirmed his previous conjecture that the five elements of this world all have two different manifestations, one of which is in this world, and the other is in other worlds, just like the death element contained in the squirrel's home.
Thinking of this, Liu Li also had a preliminary plan for his future, the primary purpose was to collect the five elemental characteristics of this world and improve his strength to deal with the upcoming war in the west of the empire. As for the elements of other worlds, it can only depend on luck, and Liu Li has no clue about how to travel to another world now.
Having set her goal, Liu Li did not continue to think about the more distant future, but sank into deep meditation. After all, at this moment, sorting out the black elements is the most urgent thing. He had a hunch that the pursuers behind him had not given up yet, and it was only a matter of time before they caught up with the caravan.
