Section 437 Trials
Is it only a year......
Looking at the handwriting on the ground, the corners of the blood pupil's mouth felt a trace of bitterness.
He certainly wouldn't have thought that the bandage merchant had asked him to go to this location a year later. And clearly know that this year...... In fact, it is his boundary. The Bandage Merchant propelled him to the meteorite level by detonating his energy. This move vividly interprets the concept of the explosion of the meteorite star. Let the blood pupil have the effect of ordinary people cultivating for several years when they first entered. It undoubtedly sped up his evolutionary time.
But behind the sweet-looking fruit is a terrible poison.
The price of doing this is that the metabolism of the blood pupil is faster than that of ordinary people, and the consumption of life force is more intense. In this way, the average person will only have one year left in the ten-year boundary of the meteorite star when it falls on the blood pupil.
One year, what a short period of time.
If used for adventure, you can't even reach a distant starry sky this year. If it is used as a task, it is only a small task, and if it is used for cultivation, it may not make any progress. If you use it for tourism, you can't even see the whole scenery of a planet.
But this year, for the blood pupil, it is necessary to break the meteorite. Otherwise...... He's going to die.
What a terrible fact this is. Especially for Blood Pupil, a person who has struggled to survive since childhood, this is simply a nightmare. In order to survive, he hunts, fights, and obtains the meager food from the minions of mutant beasts. In order to survive, he left X35 and became a cosmic mercenary. Also in order to survive, he keeps getting stronger and tortures himself as if he is sick. It can be said that in the consciousness of the blood pupil, the existential crisis always comes first.
Since entering the comet level, he thought that the pressure of survival would become less, but he didn't expect to usher in this accident again. Instead, it pushed him to the brink of life and death. That pain and frustration was so bitter for Blood Pupil.
But...... That's the reality......
Blood Pupil turned her head and looked silently at the skeleton in the corner. His face gradually returned to calm.
He's a Krodil man, and that's the price he has to pay. Blood pupils are to be expected. In the years to come, the pressure to survive will be even greater. If his identity were revealed, it would be a catastrophic situation.
So he had to get stronger, stronger at a faster pace. From this point of view, the bandage merchant's actions were beneficial to him.
"Thank you. Rhea. Blood Pupil said to the skeleton. Then bend down and dig a grave for the skeleton. Put the skeleton in. Strange to say, this skeleton has been lying here for an unknown amount of time, but its bones are still as hard as steel. There was no sign of decay at all.
The Blood Pupil buried the skeleton and made a mark on the wall.
"I'm sorry I can't leave you a tombstone, but I guess that's what you want. After all...... You're a legendary man......"
"A tombstone. And how do you write your legend? ”
The blood pupil muttered to himself, and then left the wastewater treatment plant without looking back.
This is a place that maybe he will never come back. Just let this guy sleep here in peace...... Isn't that the best ending for a legend?
In fact, the bandage merchant didn't expect that the will of the blood pupil had long exceeded the limit of ordinary people. Therefore, even when unconscious, you can also perceive the movement around you. So his words had already been heard word by word by the blood pupil.
Stepping out of the hellish sewers, the Blood Pupil returns to the surface of Vault 27. It was getting late outside, and the winds of death were howling across the land. There was tumbling sand everywhere. But in the ruined building of the vault, there are quite a few sheltered corners.
The Blood Pupil found Singer in the lobby of a building. At this time, he was sitting by a campfire, and his SUV was parked in a corner of the hall. …,
"You've finally come out." Seeing the appearance of the blood pupil. Singal said happily. "I've been waiting for you here for a week, and I thought something had happened to you. I was going to wait until this storm was over to look for you. ”
"Is it only for a week?" Blood Pupil said lightly. "I thought it was a year."
"No kidding. How can it be. What is it about you that makes you feel this way? Singh's eyes widened. Then he picked up a piece of roast meat from the campfire and handed it to the blood pupil. "Give. We ran out of food, and I had to catch a sandworm from the desert over there. This is its inner tenderloin. You know, this thing is the best thing. ”
"............" The blood pupil fell silent, looking at the oily roast meat wordlessly.
The inner loin of a sandworm. Isn't it exactly the last time you hunted in the X35? At that time, he also killed the bronze fangs of the guards at the gathering point for this thing, and thus caused a conflict with the black bear. Seeing this thing again now, the blood pupil only feels a lot of feelings.
The environment is still the same environment, but the people are no longer the same as they used to be......
Now that he is here, the entire X35 is nothing more than a dispensable ruin in his eyes. Even food that was once precious has become a distant memory. It made him feel like he was dreaming. It's all because he took that step. If he hadn't acceded to Hensel's invitation in the first place. So he's still struggling with X35 at the moment. Like those hunters of the last days. Or already dead.
That's fate......
The blood pupil thought quietly, but his face quietly accepted the barbecue handed by Singel. I took a big bite and ate it. Singer's craftsmanship is good, and the meat pieces are grilled just right. The soft meat and the smoke of the campfire make it taste great. Of course, this thing has no merit compared to the food of the Fifth Realm. But in the heart of the blood pupil, it is the best thing to eat.
The blood pupil chewed widely, letting the grease run down his mouth. It only takes a while to eat the barbecue cleanly. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Singel.
"You've had enough rest these days, haven't you?"
"Huh!?" Singh was about to hand over a kettle to the blood pupil, when he was stunned when he heard this. In an instant, a frightened expression appeared. "Hey, didn't you come up with some way to torture me, did you? Let me tell you, I haven't been idle during this time. Do it every day according to the training schedule you give. Not a day of laziness. You can't afford to find fault with something. ”
"Didn't find fault with anything?" Blood Pupil showed a sneer. "Do you know how many people want me to find fault like this, and I don't bother to pay attention. If it weren't for my suzerain...... Forget it, there's no need to tell you that. ”
"Wait...... Your suzerain. Singleh was thrilled. He straightened up violently. "Blood...... Bloodpupil-sama. Who is your sect master, by the way, and your identity tell me. I'm interested......"
"My identity?" The blood pupil glanced at Singer, revealing a vague smile. "Didn't you guess it a long time ago? As for my sect master, you are not qualified to know the Dao. You're just a dispensable guy until you're up to my standards. ”
"Am I that bad?" Singhal sat back, a little apprehensive. He is actually a strong man in x35, so he never thought that one day he would be judged as useless. But if this sentence was said by the blood pupil, he had no temper.
The strength of the blood pupil was what he had seen with his own eyes. It can be said that in Singel's heart, the blood pupil is like the omnipotent god. It has the power to destroy the world. He said what he was, and that was certainly not wrong.
But Singal forgot that how could Blood Pupil's vision now be the same standard as his? The blood pupil said that Singal was weak, but it was only relative. If you really want to put Singal at the vassal level of the cosmic mercenary, I'm afraid you have to look at it backwards. Singhal unknowingly suffered a big loss from the blood pupil, and it was not reversed for a long time afterward, whether it was a blessing or a curse is another matter. …,
But right now, the blood pupil won't make him feel so good.
Sitting next to the warm campfire, Blood Pupil reached out and took a sip from the kettle, then looked up at the storm outside.
"Singh, what do you think of the weather outside?"
"Scare?" Singh was startled, not knowing why he wanted to mention the weather. Isn't this always the case in x35? Storms, dust, radiation, dark clouds. It has been unchanged for hundreds of years. Why is Blood Pupil suddenly interested in the weather?
But even so, Singal replied honestly. "Not bad."
Today's death wind is not strong, and according to the X35 standard, it is indeed 'good'.
Hearing Singh's answer, the blood pupil didn't speak, but turned his head to look out the door. His gaze was a little cold, a little mysterious, as if shrouded in a fog that made Singer unable to see the meaning.
After a while, the blood pupil sighed. Tilt your head and drink the water from the kettle in one gulp.
"Since it's good, you go out and give it a trip."
"Huh!?" Singer's eyes widened suddenly, barely believing his ears.
This weather ...... Let me go?
Hell, it's a death wind. No matter how weak it is, it can't be resisted by manpower. What is the difference between getting out of shelter in such weather and committing suicide? Without cover and protection, no matter how strong the person is, he will be blown into shredded flesh by the wind.
But Singal still underestimated the ruthlessness of the blood pupil. He just glanced at Singh faintly, and then repeated the order.
"You go out of the town now, do something for me. If it is done, I will take you out of this last days. You can take it as a test, or you can choose to accept it or reject it. ”
"............" Singh fell silent, realizing that Bloody Pupil wasn't joking. After pondering for a while, he finally gritted his teeth. Shen Sheng asked.
"What's the matter?"
"Ding!" As soon as he finished speaking, a ceramic shard swirled down in front of Singel. Then the sound of the blood pupil sounded in his ears.
"Take this piece and go to a city three hundred kilometers northwest of here. Find the soldiers there. If their battle suit armor is the same as this piece of armor. The blood pupil paused, then said flatly.
"Kill them all, and bring back the head of their city lord."
