Chapter 3 Deserted Village in the Forest

"Kamal, Klein, Lotus......" Liu Li buried his companions in the morning light, but gave him a lot of help, and they were also the first three people he knew after coming to this world. Sitting in front of the graves of the three people, Liu Li didn't know where to go for a while, and finally knew that it was not a way to continue to stay like this, so he finally got up silently and prepared to move on.

It took half a day to force myself to compose, and at the same time, I was trying to think about it, looking back on my experience in the time since I crossed over. First and foremost, the most important thing is your own ability - to come back from the dead. Let's take it as my ability, although I don't know if there are any restrictions or side effects, but it really saved my life, Liu Li couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to the owner of the voice that sounded in his head when he crossed.

Then there is the target, which, as Kamal said before, will take about a week to get from the current location to the nearest town, but there will be a village on the way. Looking at the rudimentary map drawn on the parchment at hand, Liu Li was really glad that Klein had taught him how to identify the direction, in fact, it was not difficult, after all, the sun in this world also rises in the east and sets in the west, and the plants in the forest also need to photosynthesize. Considering that you are alone now, you still need to be careful when you don't know what the limitations of your ability to come back from the dead are, so the arrival time at your destination may continue to be delayed. Once you've decided on your next goal, all that's left is to sort out what you can use at hand. As for walking with bare hands...... Liu Li would not have the idea of dying like this in his heart.

Kamal still had a day's share of their food reserves, which should last four to five days, considering the amount of food that the three of them had to eat as mercenaries and the fact that they were left alone. The bags were not damaged, and through these observations, although Liu Li was not sure whether she could handle a wilderness survival project such as a tent on her own, she had no reason to give up. As for the last, it's weapons.

"Huh, that's light......" Crane's dual swords had been completely destroyed in the previous battle, but fortunately, Kamal's one-handed heavy sword was of good quality and could still be used. But Liu Li, who was holding a heavy sword, was indescribably strange in his heart, he had tried the weight of Klein's double swords, and it was not something that Liu Li could use with one hand. But now that the heavier heavy sword was held in his hand, it felt as light and agile as nothing, and the power of the slash was completely different from when he first arrived in this world. "Is it possible to die once and still be upgraded?" Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Liu Li tried to pull away the longbow used by Lian again, and finally determined that his strength had increased significantly.

There were fifteen arrows left, and Liu Li, who was still self-aware, didn't want to give up this only long-range weapon. With no combat training and little study of survival techniques such as trap-making, he didn't intend to go toe-to-toe with a beast in perfect condition. Liu Li, who bent his bow and arrow, did not immediately conduct the first test firing, and he found that his changes were not only in strength. In addition to the use of the bow and arrow, it requires enough strength to pull the bow away, as well as a sensitive response and perception of the target, and in the last two points, Liu Li also noticed a huge improvement compared to the previous while opening the bow and aiming.

The slight swaying of the breeze in the woods, the fluttering insects, the birds passing in the sky, everything that can be perceived is deeply engraved in my mind from the touch of the eyes, ears, and skin. Liu Li can even be sure that as long as everything that happens around him, as long as it does not exceed the limit of his senses, it is impossible not to be noticed by himself. Just when Liu Li gradually indulged in this feeling, the whole world seemed to have undergone some kind of change, and some strange colors suddenly flashed, intertwined with the world in perception, regardless of each other.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that there was only a moment, and a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly burst out, and Liu Li also withdrew from that mysterious state. Looking at the position of the sun in the sky, it was almost two hours later. Slowly loosening the bowstring, Liu Li knew that he didn't need to test firing anymore, and if he couldn't hit every shot in that state, he would really be blind to this ability. This state is what warriors like to call it condensed, and mystical casters call it omniscient. Of course, Liu Li still doesn't know anything about this.

Looking at the sky, the sun has gradually set west, and I am afraid that I will not be able to set off today, but the harvest of the day has reduced the haze in Liu Li's heart a lot. In a strange world, in a dangerous forest, there is nothing more important than the growth of one's own abilities.

Early the next morning, Liu Li, who was still in good spirits, came to the grave of the three Kamal again and said softly: "I'm leaving." Then he cherished the mercenary name tags of the three of them, confirmed the direction, and left the place that had brought him great changes.

Although his ability has increased significantly, the journey through the forest is not smooth sailing for Liu Li, an inexperienced person. First of all, what Liu Li did not expect was the first side effect brought about by the all-round improvement of his physique-the increase in food intake. The food that had been planned for four or five days had been exhausted in less than two days, and the village that Kamal had spoken of did not know how long it would take to arrive.

"Well, this can be eaten...... Well, this one seems to be edible...... Alas, this one can't seem to be eaten......" Liu Li muttered to herself as she rummaged through the fruits and mushrooms she had picked up. As for the content, of course, it has to do with food. Although the body's need for food was not as strong as it had been in the first few days of resurrection, the fatigue caused by hunger was not something that could be avoided by a body that would be resurrected even after death. As for those things that were certain to be inedible, he naturally experimented with this immortal body, and the pain of the process was really not enough for outsiders. Liu Li, who woke up again after being poisoned and died, really didn't want to recall the sourness of the sharp pain in her abdomen again, and the pain as if her intestines were cracking one by one was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As for the beasts, Liu Li has also encountered them these days. Even with his rusty combat skills, he was able to enjoy a rare meal of meat at dinner one day. Of course, injury or death is inevitable. However, these experiences have also given him a little more understanding of his talent for resurrection.

Only a firm belief will bring about the improvement of physical fitness, the stronger the belief against death, the more obvious the improvement of the body after resurrection, if you give up the desire for survival, then although you will still be reborn, but you will experience a period of weakness, and the overall quality of the body will also decline to a certain extent.

But at this moment, Liu Li won't think so much anymore. He's had enough of these days, and when will this endless forest get out of here, there's only one question in his mind. Just as he used his heavy sword to split the vines in front of him again, a section of the wall appeared at the end of his sight, of course, Liu Li didn't think much about the fact that it took him nearly ten days to get here, although Kamal had planned that it would only take three days to get here.

Seeing the wall, Liu Li's heart was first happy, and then it was cold, there was no voice, and it was more appropriate to call it a ruined wall than a wall. The mud wall is no more than two meters high, and a wooden fence more than a meter high is erected on top of it, which is enough to keep out ordinary wild beasts. But the mottled blood stains on the wall, the four-meter-long gap in the middle that was obviously broken by something, and the collapsed house on the inside of the wall through the gap, made Liu Li feel a chill in his heart.

The village is not large, and Liu Li, who walked into it through the gap in the wall, found that there were only about a dozen collapsed houses in the entire village, all of which were simple grass houses or wooden houses, and only the house that appeared to be a blacksmith shop was made of stones. Don't ask Liu Li how he knew it was a blacksmith shop, as the strongest house in the whole village, it escaped the fate of collapse, although the cracks in the walls are still obvious, but the sign with an anvil depicted on the door and the huge furnace that can be seen even from the outside, as long as it is a person, it will not be mistaken for a bakery.

The center of the village was an open-air square, and the familiar cracks radiating from the square around the ground finally made Liu Li confirm in his heart that it was it, the demonic beast that killed the three Kamals, and it had been here.
