Chapter 2: Bonfires
Chapter 2: Bonfire
After eliminating a few robbers, Su Qin did not carry much material on them, and even the horses they were riding did not hang any grain and grass. Obviously, most of these robbers are just a small group of people who have come out to explore the path of some big thief**. Therefore, the people decided to move as much as possible, and it seemed a good choice to borrow the robber's horses at this time.
"Wait, I don't know how to ride a horse." The high school girl sighed and said helplessly:
“…… If you don't mind, how about riding the same horse as me? Su Qin looked at the thin-rimmed glasses that were being adjusted and the hedgehog head with a gloating face. In order to leave this place as much as possible, he directly invited the other party to ride with him. Seeing the other party's helping hand, the female high school student seemed a little hesitant. Just as she was about to refuse, Su Qin's tall back in front of her suddenly flashed in her mind when the scimitar slashed down. So she nodded with a little hesitation, held Su Qin's hand, and jumped on the horse easily. The female high school student's seemingly slender but actually advantageous fingers made Su Qin stunned for a moment. Because of his natural keen perception, he did not ignore the tiny cocoons that had been trimmed on the other party's hands. If memory serves, only long-term sword users can have such calluses. [This woman is not simple. A sentence of drama flashed inexplicably in Su Qin's heart, but after all, the two sides are strangers, so there is no need to get to the bottom of each other. Thinking of this, Su Qin turned his head, pulled up the reins, and galloped away. The horse that suddenly ran up made the female high school student who was riding on the horse for the first time instinctively hug Su Qin. After realizing her movements, she couldn't help but pause, and her face showed a flash of panic.
As the sky grew darker, the crowd, who had been running for hours before nightfall, finally decided to stop and set up camp. After a bonfire was lit with the dead branches they had picked up, four strangers who had never known each other sat around without saying a word. Although the previous experience of fighting the enemy together made several people have more tacit understanding, this still can't change the strange relationship between each other.
The silence did not last long, and soon someone broke the stiffer and stiffer atmosphere.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ziyuan, and I am an online sales planner. It is responsible for designing special activities, product matching, etc., and by the way, investigating what changes in the price of other online shopping. Well, sometimes I work part-time as a blog administrator. Would that beautiful woman over there be interested in taking some pictures and posting them on the Internet? Pushing the glasses hanging on his face, Ziyuan said in a relaxed tone. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had broken the robber's neck during the day. Su Qin raised his eyebrows slightly to show his understanding, there are some things that he will not say even to the closest people, let alone strangers who meet for the first time. It's like he's never told anyone that he has a mortal intuition that's as accurate as his future vision. People need to keep a hand.
"No, Yumi, a high school girl." Yumi, who was kneeling by the campfire, declined Ziyuan's invitation in a cold tone, and introduced himself very briefly with the least number of words. Like the former, she also threw the amazing watch of herself summoning flames during the day and entering the white blade empty-handed, to a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
"Su Qin, well, he's a travel enthusiast, a part-time war correspondent." Facing the gaze of others looking at the left wheel on his waist, Su Qin shrugged his shoulders and made up for it. "Well, armed travelers or armed war correspondents. "Well, my name is Li Huang and I'm a high school student." Even the sluggish hedgehog head felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere at the scene. He touched the prickly man and let out a few embarrassed snees.
“…… Today's high school students are really good enough. Looking at the various hanging rings on Li Huang's face, lips, and ears, Su Qin couldn't help but feel that he was only twenty-six and couldn't keep up with the trend of the times.
Although each of them had reservations, they still felt closer to each other after exchanging names. At this moment, Su Qin suddenly appeared with a complicated ring tattoo on his hand. He was sure that he had never been to a tattoo parlor since he was a child. So where did this tattoo, which is made up of all kinds of delicate lines, come from? He touched the azure tattoo on his wrist in confusion, and an electric touch suddenly came out of it and pierced into his brain. Su Qin frowned, and after a slight tingling sensation, several strange messages naturally appeared in his mind.
[Eventually, the Archon announces the start of the mission.] This quest belongs to the exploration type, please do your best to find the fate aberration point of this world and complete the follow-up mission. or guarantee that they will survive for more than 150 years (this number is based on the total soul strength of all members of the current temporary squad.) At that time, the surface scan of the material realm will be completed by the third-generation Realm System and Management System. After the quest is completed, the final Archon will reclaim each reincarnation and release 1ooo standard reward points. 】
"Did you hear that?" Su Qin looked at the others differently, and the four people who looked at each other all had a look of surprise on their faces.
", the bones of Lao Tzu are rotten in one hundred and fifty years." Hearing the second hedgehog's head jump up like a cat with its tail stepped on, a series of foul words erupting from its mouth.
[The Temporary Squad can choose one of the following three ranged support options, and the Archon will complete the dimensional delivery of the selected item.] 】
The news in my head didn't end there. In the shocked eyes of everyone, the bonfire, which was originally just lit by ordinary dead wood, suddenly leaped upwards and changed into a light screen framed by flames. It is listed like a bulletin board: Intelligence, Weapons (the level is based on the type of civilization in the world, and the height is two), and Survival Materials (the same as above).
Faced with the sudden appearance of natural phenomena, Su Qin couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. However, the shrinking countdown in the lower left corner of the light screen still made him react quickly.
"What do you think?"
"Intelligence."
Thin-rimmed glasses and high school girls said in unison.
"Huh? Why not weapons? The hedgehog head muttered quietly.
"WeaponsWe already have a rifle and a few scimitars and swords, and the five robbers we met during the day didn't have much supplies with them, but they did have some food and water. The biggest problem now is that we don't know where or in what era we were thrown by the so-called ultimate consul. And the distortion of fate mentioned in that inexplicable mission is even more impossible to find. So, intelligence is now much more important to us than the other two options. ”
Su Qin stretched out his hand and pressed the intelligence option on the light screen, and a slight burning sensation came from his fingertips. Then the entire light screen twisted and turned into an old piece of parchment, and Su Qin hurriedly caught the parchment before it fell into the fire. By the flickering light of the campfire, he fixed his gaze on a detailed map of eight-carat parchment. Two important locations are marked with red crosses.
The signs are written in traditional and simplified Chinese characters and Japanese with the names of the places - Hamnata, Ashem.
"What is this place?" Zi Yuan nodded at the marked location and asked curiously.
"I don't know, but these two names always have a strange sense of familiarity." Su Qin frowned, trying to remember where he had seen these two terms.
Li Huang squatted on the side and roasted the fire, and couldn't help but feel a little bored when he saw that everyone else was thinking. To change the subject, he casually asked, "Do you remember how you ended up here...... ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stiffened. Then he hugged his head, and the whole person shrank into a ball and trembled like chaff.
"Ahhhh I...... I remember...... Lao Tzu was trampled on by the AS driven by the terrorists who rushed into Hong Kong and smashed his entire lower body! Hell, how am I still alive? Could that text message be real? ”
"What text message? I was bleeding profusely from a bullet and heard a strange voice asking me if I wanted to live. Su Qin subtentiously touched the place where the abdomen had been pierced, which had long since become intact, and even the surgical scar left by the previous cecum cutting had disappeared.
"Before I died, I wanted to leave a message for the dead old woman, and in the middle of writing, a text message popped up on my phone...... Ask me if I want to live......" Li Huang whispered in a trembling voice:
"I was... Hit by a special biological poison... I've also heard a strange voice asking. Zi Yuan's expression suddenly became extremely stiff, and he bent five fingers in turn to recall the bad feeling of not being able to move.
"Seriously injured, and then I heard a voice saying it would help me make my wish come true." Yumi's face became unusually pale, and his hands were trembling slightly in the face of the sharp blade. The intimate photo of two young girls on the screen of her mobile phone that had been pierced by a blade resurfaced in front of her eyes.
"In this way, we were all brought here by some irresistible force during our experience. And His purpose is for us to complete that strange task, and if we do, we will be ...... by Him Reclaim? ”
This cold adjective stunned everyone, and a chill enveloped everyone. Not even the nearby campfire could dispel the cold.
"Forget it, let's rest first." Su Qin sighed and folded the map to take it back into his backpack, but at this time, his hand felt an extremely thick book in the bag. Pulling out this strangely thick book, he saw that the cover of the book was painted with all kinds of intricate Gothic patterns. There are even a few pieces of parchment cut into long strips with wax, on which are also densely written with various short aphorisms in floral characters, making the whole book look very old and full of strong religious overtones.
On the title page of the book, a line was written in sharp font: To my wise apprentice Callias, who has come across time and space, may the great teacher Magnus give him the wisdom to seek the truth. Ahriman.
"What is this? I don't remember ever receiving a book like this? Su Qin said in surprise.
"Uh, don't you know what's in your bag?" While casually teasing, Ziyuan pinched his nose and covered the blanket he found from the horse. The robbers were clearly not clean-minded people, and the blankets were filled with the smell of sweat and dirt. I hope there won't be fleas in it, Zi Yuan prayed with a little luck.
Just when Su Qin was puzzled, Houshu suddenly shot out a filthy blue light into the sky. The wrist-thick beam lasted for tens of seconds before disappearing into the night sky.
Everyone watched in amazement until a new hint came to their ears.
[The people of the younger generations, this is a gift from the previous generation. We are the forerunners who cross the infinite land. Now, with the power of the consul's transmission, I hope to help you exchange useful things for useless things held by you, and may you and others prosper in their martial arts. 】
"This ...... What does it mean? Li Huang scratched the back of his head suspiciously, he felt that the text was like a textbook and he was dizzy when he looked at it.
"It seems that we are not the first people to be arrested. The meaning of the above passage is that those who completed the task in the past left some useful items for newcomers like us. Su Qin lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said his judgment with some hesitation. It seems that the self-proclaimed ultimate consul is even older than they originally thought.
"Why didn't I get it? It's really unfair. Li Huang said in an unhappy tone.
"Those props will swap with the normal items we have on us, so you can find them yourself. I did have a book in my bag before, but it was just an ordinary scripture book given by someone else. I didn't expect it to be replaced with such a strange book, and I don't know what happened to that light just now......"
didn't care about the hedgehog head's complaining words, Su Qin was more concerned about the blue light shot out of the previous book. For some reason, he always felt that the light was full of treachery and filth. It's really strange, it's just a light with a strange color, probably just thinking too much.
