Chapter 018: Travel
The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and it has been twenty-three days and nights since I came to the crater in a blink of an eye, and the climate here has never been normal, either lightning and thunder or black smoke and miasma, or even goose feathers and heavy snow. During this period, the Star Thief appeared once, and all the blue gold coins were combined for more than a month's worth of food, as well as a few blankets, a few changes of clothes, and a high-powered stove.
The rain was pouring down, and a curved wall of ice appeared between the rocks, and six figures hid inside, warming themselves around the stove.
The six men were Linciso, Amon, Krobakra, the silver-haired girl, and Mana and Nord, who joined later. Among them, Krobakra made the fastest progress, and the destructive power of cold energy became stronger and stronger, while Mana was the first to enter the ranks of martial arts apprentices, touching the free cosmic energy, his temperament was obviously different, and his eyes were full of wisdom.
The silver-haired girl fiddled with the peacock amulet, and every day she had to stare at it for a long time, trying to see through it by her own ability.
"Still not working? It doesn't matter, come on. I'd also like to know what secrets the Peacock Amulet hides. ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, if you continue like this, it won't be a year and a half, and it's hard to understand."
"I'm not busy, I'm going to stay here for five years, and one day I'll be successful." Lin Xiso smiled slightly, he has worked hard all the time these days, but with little success, and the gap is widening.
Mana frowned and looked at the heavy rain, as if talking to herself, and as if to say to everyone: "I have a bad feeling that this rain will last for a long time." ”
Looking at the rising rain in the low-lying areas, you can imagine the scene in a few days, and it will be difficult to sustain it without the cold energy of Krobakla.
Amon smiled bitterly: "This is not the most fatal, in a few days the star thieves will send people, for next month's food, we are annoyed." Red Storm comes once a month, what the hell is the idea? ”
Everyone looked at Mana at the same time, hoping to rely on her analytical skills to get answers.
"As far as the current analysis goes, there are three possibilities. First, Red Storm uses us to test whether the new Star Thieves are qualified. Second, arrest other star thief organizations, and absorb them after inspection. Third, the survival of the fittest, improve the quality of their own team, in order to transform. ”
Mana glanced around, and finally said: "No matter which possibility, it is to force us to improve quickly, and when the five-year period is up, our fate will be even more bumpy." ”
There was a silence, and the things that were so far away in five years were not considered for the time being, and the most important thing was in front of them. The "home" must first be moved to a higher place to escape this rainstorm.
Linciso, Nord, and Amon are boys, so they have to take on more responsibility. Three men and three women, forming three pairs of partners with a tacit understanding.
Mana and the silver-haired girl carefully observed, avoiding places that might cause mudslides, and finally found a stone wall that was sunken inward, and Nord divided five by two to clear the rubble, and Amon baked the ground, and soon moved in.
Needless to say, after brutal elimination, these teenagers already have an extremely high ability to survive, and if it weren't for the fact that this planet is too primitive, they will definitely be able to live better.
Six people sat cross-legged around the fire, their eyes closed. There is always a sense of urgency haunting me, so I work very hard to cultivate. If there is any wind and grass within half a kilometer, the silver-haired girl will prompt first, so she is very relieved.
The young man from the Earth Ring Star knew very little about martial arts cultivators, so he groped forward one foot at a time and one foot at a shallow foot, gathering the wisdom of the crowd, especially under the leadership of a wise martial arts apprentice like Mana, the speed of improvement was still quite fast.
After more than a dozen days and nights, according to the interstellar calendar for exactly one month, Krobakra and the silver-haired girl succeeded one after another, and the spiritual power changed from implicit to explicit, and the silver-haired girl's concentration could make a small pebble levitate out of thin air, which was amazing.
Compared with the three girls, Linciso and they are obviously a little worse, and Mana believes that this is caused by the girl's sensitive thinking, which means that the three teenagers are more nervous.
In the early morning, when the storm had finally passed, Amon frowned and looked at the water, and the middle of the crater had become a lake, which was very unfavorable for him to play with fire.
"Here we are." The silver-haired girl was stunned, and saw the tattered escape pod whizzing through the air, like dumped garbage, falling into the water or near the mountain wall.
After a long time, some trembling figures came out of the escape pod, holding stun guns in their hands, completely lacking the unique image of star thieves, but like thieves who broke into the bedroom in the middle of the night.
The silver-haired girl looked farthest, shook her head, and said, "These people are weak, with vain steps and nervous expressions, they should be similar to us, they are the playthings of Red Storm." ”
"So, we're going to have a better time today?" Amon let out a long breath and furrowed his brow.
When Mana's temperament and the barn met for the first time, he changed greatly, and he was quite arrogant. Shen Sheng said: "There should also be powerful people among them, when did Red Storm settle down?" The worse the strength, the less blue gold coins you have. Hisoka, first tentatively lure some people over, meaningless killings will make us more and more frustrated, the weak direct corona is left to fend for itself, the strong one is used to improve combat experience, pay attention to the movements of other teenagers, although everyone comes from the same place, but not so united. ”
Linciso nodded, convinced. People are selfish, and according to the rules of Red Storm, blue gold coins can be exchanged for many items, including weapons. Too little meat, too many wolves, and naturally there will be scrambles.
Hurriedly grab a stun gun and head towards the landing site of the escape pod. The speed under his feet continued to increase, and the wind "swished" through his ears, leaving shallow footprints on the muddy ground.
Lin Xiso didn't make much progress in terms of mental strength, but he mastered some small tricks through constant experimentation. For example, when walking, the pace is as slow as possible, which can reduce physical exertion, although the crossing distance is not as exaggerated as the power rush, but the dragonfly crosses and jumps like water, and it can give full play to the ghostly figure.
Raise your legs to climb a rock, find a good concealment and look down, a group of more than a dozen people came up, picked up the stone and hit it at will, as a result, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, the other party reacted a little overly, and dispersed in all directions with a "woo".
"It's really weak." Linciso flashed out, pretending to be scared and turned to run away, falling down once along the way.
"Damn, scare uncle, is the test that Red Storm said is this kind of imp? Brethren, copy the guys. ”
There were also smart people among the dozen or so, who warned: "Boss, Red Storm said that these little ghosts are very powerful, be careful. ”
"Idiot, no matter how powerful it is, more than a dozen of our men are afraid of what he does, the little ghost's stun gun is good, I want it."
More than a dozen people chased after him, and Linciso admired the boss, and it was really unfortunate for him to lead his subordinates.
Carrying the "prey" around the rocks, only to hear a few "zizi" sounds, six sturdy enemies fell to the ground. Nord roared angrily: "Don't move, hand over the blue gold coin." ”
The cold suddenly erupted, where could these people still move, the blood in their bodies almost coagulated, and the leader begged: "It's so cold, the master spares his life." ”
Amon jumped over and searched his body, and scolded: "How can the bastard king eight lambs be so reasonable! Half a coin, only half a blue gold coin per person. Thirteen men, six and a half pieces. ”
Lin Xisuo was also a little dizzy, and persuaded: "Forget it, I expected this to happen, I thought that each person would have at least one blue gold coin, but Red Storm really maintained its usual style, vicious." ”
Mana asked the men a few questions, then sent them away, and set up an ambush, each of whom received only a little more blue gold coins, which was not an ordinary inefficiency.
The six people immediately changed their tactics, down the mountain and the tigers, and rushed towards the place where the escape cabin was more concentrated, and now they must rush for time, although there are a lot of this kind of soft-footed shrimp, but more than 100 people divide it, and it is a drop in the bucket, and if you don't know "your own people", you will fight.
At the end of the day, I returned to my residence with my tired body, and this planet was scarce in oxygen, and the burden of long-term activity was still relatively large. Due to the timely response, the harvest was not bad, and the patchwork resulted in twenty-five or six blue gold coins per person, and most of the teenagers had less blue gold coins than this number.
It was nearly midnight and the ship picked up the surviving Star Thieves, who were captured by Red Storm and belonged to another group of Star Thieves, who were dog-eat-dog at best, but used the crater as a sieve to admit the best.
The star thieves have always respected the strong, and the change of masters has happened from time to time, and it is not like the earth ring star boy, who has an unforgettable hatred.
Lin Xisuo misses the mushroom soup in his hometown a little, fresh and tender, but unfortunately there are no mushrooms on the list made by the star thieves, otherwise if you plant a piece, at least you will have more food and clothing.
The next day, in exchange for supplies from the star thieves, a monotonous life began. Soon, Amon and Nord also found their senses, and according to the book, they officially became martial arts apprentices, while Linciso's progress almost came to a standstill.
"Guys, I'm going to take a walk around the neighborhood and find out how I feel. Rest assured, I will come back to fight side by side with you as scheduled. ”
"Do you want to go out for a walk? It's good. Instead of stopping, Mana agreed.
Amon stopped, jumped up and said nervously: "The crust of this planet is very active, and the crater is quite good, but it's hard to say outside, what are you doing to run around?" Is it not possible to get along with a silver-haired chick? ”
Immediately, Amon was forced to look at him by several glances and closed his mouth in disdain.
"I'll be careful, it's a big deal to run away when I'm in danger, and the star thieves don't say that they can't explore." Linciso laughed.
Two hours later, the black-haired boy packed up and left the place, thunder outside the mountain, and smoke rising from a distant volcano.
In fact, Lin Xisuo's heart was very unconvinced, and it didn't make sense for others to do it. Maybe the role of the catalytic agent has been reduced by the medical leaf, or maybe it is because of the difference caused by genetic fine-tuning, in short, it has not kept up with the pace of others.
Lin Xisuo secretly encouraged herself: "Is there less pain in making snacks?" The mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, the village chief's family exploited the fungus collectors, and the peacock died tragically, thinking that it would be better with special abilities, but the result was even worse. I don't want to bow my head and be a man anymore, since I can't find the internal cause, I will pay more than others and hone ten times or even a hundred times. ”
Looking at the distant back, Mana sighed faintly: "It's okay to leave, his psychological pressure is getting bigger and bigger by our side." In fact, Hisoka's heart is proud, and he has a backbone that ordinary people can't match. ”
