Chapter 48: Coma
"Maybe I've been in better shape lately?"
Vince already had his own guess in his mind, but he didn't want to say it, so he made an excuse.
Joel looked disdainful, and both Titch and Corliss had disbelief on their faces. But since Vince didn't say anything, they didn't ask any more questions.
Titch looked at the four Yorks, and whispered to the three with a little headache, "What are you going to do with this group ......of people now?
Colis glanced at Vins meaningfully and said, "Now that the deterrent effect has been achieved, not only is it pointless to kill them again, but there are too many onlookers, and it is not good for Dark Moon's reputation to spread it." ”
Vince tapped his forehead and said, "What then? If they go any further in this state, they will be sent to death, and now they can't go back." Could it be that we still have to escort the people who want to rob us all the way to the assembly area?"
Joel immediately realized this serious problem, and said in a deep voice: "How is it possible to escort us? We may not be able to get out alive to protect ourselves, and I am afraid that everyone will have to explain here with these wounded." ”
Although the three of them are all hunting assistants, they have experienced a lot of life and death. But now that they want to decide the life and death of others with their own hands, the three of them hesitated.
After a moment of silence, Joel finally made up his mind and said, "Let them fend for themselves, we can't control that much." Since they were the first to do it, they should also bear the consequences. ”
There was a hint of hesitation in the eyes of Vince and Titch, but they did not say anything against it.
Seeing the tangled appearance of the three of them, Colis couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart. In an old voice, he said, "Children, kindness is a good thing, but it is not necessary for such people. Leave them alone, let's go. ”
"Every adventurer has the ability that others don't know, and if you leave them here, they won't necessarily die, so let's go. Seeing that the three of them were still a little hesitant, Corliss urged again.
The three of them took one last look at York and walked away with a hint of unbearability in their eyes.
Marlene sat on the ground, and suddenly used her last strength to scold angrily: "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes! This time I just let you take advantage of the weapon, and I will definitely take revenge next time I see you! Don't let me meet you again!!"
Vince looked at her deeply and said, "Hopefully there will be another meeting." ”
After saying that, he didn't hesitate in his heart anymore and left with the other three.
Marlene watched as Vince walked away until he disappeared, and suddenly lost his strength and collapsed to the ground. Rod and York, one was silent and looked at the sky, and the other was lying on the ground from beginning to end, and they were also speechless at the moment. And Patch, who had already been knocked to the ground, had not woken up yet.
The sky was overcast, and there was a crowd of people in the woods, as if someone was about to come out.
......
"Mr. Collis, are we going straight to the staging area now?" said Vins, who had left the York Four, and asked Corlis, the oldest member of the group, what to do next.
Although Colis is humble and rarely hunts, he is actually a veteran. At this time, he analyzed in an orderly manner: "Don't worry, there are many crises in the Demon Mist Forest now, and our first task is to be with the large army to ensure that the distributed distress fireworks can be effective." However, we have been delayed on the road for so long, and it is estimated that we are already some distance away from the main army. It's already afternoon, and you may not be able to catch up until the evening, so it's better to find a place to camp now, and get up early tomorrow to hurry up. ”
Titch blinked and asked, "Help, fireworks?"
“...... Didn't you get the hunting items?"
Vince replied, "There were so many people who received the props, so I only found an acquaintance and got four report manuals back." ”
"So I'm the only one here who has a distress fireworks?"
The three of them looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Colis sighed depressedly and said, "Then we can't be separated, don't know how to die when the time comes." Let's all move, find a place to camp and rest. ”
Vins nodded in agreement, and was about to turn around to find something useful, when suddenly it went dark in front of him.
"Vins?!"
The shouts of unknown people quickly faded away, and Vince lost consciousness and passed out on the ground.
......
When I woke up again, there was a bright galaxy in front of me, and Vince was lying on the ground, warm beside him.
"Vins??hey!Joel!Wins is awake!"
The rustling voice was Titch, who first noticed that Vince was awake.
I slowly remembered who I was and why I was here. Vince turned his head, and he was sleeping next to a makeshift campfire, and Corlis, Joel, and Titch were all sitting around it, looking at him with concern.
Vince struggled to sit up, but his limbs were quite sore, and Corliss helped him up.
The sudden rise made Vince feel dizzy, and the campfire in front of him was blazing, floating around with the ashes of Mars, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was the ashes or the stars in the sky.
"Vince, are you feeling better?" Titch's hand patted his shoulder, like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and Vince instantly sobered up a lot, and his head was not dizzy.
Titch used a telepathic concussion to make Vince feel a little better for the time being, though it didn't help him recover.
Vince threw a grateful smile at Titch with a feeble, sickly countenance, and finally adjusted. The faces of two old friends and a new friend were so kind at the moment under the warm light of the campfire.
"What's wrong with my body?, how can I suddenly faint?" After waking up, the first thing Vince did was to ask Titch about the reason for his fainting, and he hadn't gone deep into the Demon Mist Forest yet, so it was too late to make any adjustments.
Titch's expression suddenly showed a hint of apology, and Colys, who was sitting next to Vince, spoke first: "Alas! It's me who is not good! I have long thought that if the knife is to light up the flame, it must consume psionic energy, and I actually forgot to remind you to pay attention to your psionic situation. Today, Tiki blessed you with a spiritual shock, and you didn't feel that your spiritual energy had dried up. After using the Hellflame Knife for so long, it's already a miracle that you're still alive!"
Vince smiled bitterly, he didn't expect it to be the reason. In the past, the consumption of psionic energy had not been as intense and long-lasting as it was today, including the time when he and Tiqi had acted together, and he really didn't know that psychic concussions could make people feel the depletion of psionic energy in their bodies.
"You don't have to blame yourself, that's clearly my problem. Speaking of which, how long did I pass out?"
Corliss took out a pocket watch from his bosom, looked at it, and said, "It's 10:13 p.m., and when we found the camp in the afternoon, I saw that it was half past six, and I probably passed out for about four hours." ”
"It's been so long......"
"Hurry up and rest, today is just a competition with people, and tomorrow there will be stronger monsters. It was Tichy's vigil just now, now replace me. Joel cared for Wins, and seeing that he didn't seem to be in a big deal, he began to read the report book by the light of the campfire.
Collis and Titch also fell asleep after making sure that Vince was okay.
"I can't sleep. Vince lay on the ground for a moment, then sat up again. He had just been in a coma for four hours and was concussed by Titch, but he was not sleepy at this time, and he was very awake.
"If you can't sleep, just flip through the report booklet, you are a warrior and you have to fight monsters at close range, and if you make more preparations, we will have a better chance of survival." Joel said as he sat across from Vince without raising his head.
Vince nodded, and immediately pulled out his monster report book from his backpack.
After turning two pages, Vins suddenly felt a move in his heart and asked, "Joel, what does the number added at the end of these monsters mean?"
"That's the monster's bounty, and as long as you can get the specific part of the report book, the bounty is yours. ”
"Where's the unit?"
"Yinnar. ”
Vins could barely hold back his cry of joy! After the black guard who didn't know whether it was true or not, he had been anxious in his heart, always thinking about making up the account.
And now, the opportunity to make money is right in front of him! Among the monsters he saw just now, the cheapest one was also ten silver narr!
Joel glanced up at Wen Sicai's obsessed look, and smiled helplessly: "Don't be too happy, this is a three-star starting monster, each of them is twice as ruthless as Marlene you met today, don't you can't get the money then, but make your own lunch." ”
Vince raised his head proudly and said proudly, "May I ask who overturned the combination of two three-stars today?"
Joel gave Wince a blank look, picked up a stone and smashed it on Vins's forehead, and began to study the manual carefully.
Wince pursed his lips and rubbed his forehead, reading carefully from the beginning.
For a while, all that remained in the quiet night was the "crackling" sound of the bonfire burning and the flipping of books between the two.
I have to say,The report book is still very well edited.,From beginning to end, the more difficult the monster becomes.。 Each monster has a description of its various habits, as well as all known weaknesses and strengths in battle. And every place in the report book that is not confirmed by definite evidence is highlighted, so as not to harm others.
Vins read for a long time, and suddenly wondered what the most dangerous monster that could be encountered this time in the eyes of the three major guilds, so he turned directly to the last page.
On the last page, there is a blank space. Only a few small words were written in the place where the name of the monster was marked, the Black Emperor - Becrond.
Vince then looked down, and there was usually a danger factor underneath the name. But the danger factor of this monster is not indicated by numbers, but by a string of words:
For Carriton's sake, pray it doesn't come.
Vince laughed dumbly.
