Chapter 858, Reason
"Why are you trying to save me?"
This is the question that Xiao Yan hears most often, and behind this problem, there are often other small problems lurking. For example, "What do you want me to do for you when you saved me?" Or "Do you want my body or what?" "Such a question.
Of course, most of the poisonous dragons now will not have the latter problem, because her current body is not attractive to humans, even if a person with a heavy taste faces a poisonous dragon, it is estimated that the first thing to consider is how to survive herself.
As for Anako Hijikata's love, Xiao Yan didn't have it. He did it without hesitation, just because he was an Awakened One.
"Save the lives that can be saved"
This is the code of action in the academy, just like a soldier in China jumping into the surging river to plug a gap, or rushing into the disaster area to save people at all costs. Do those soldiers need to think about the question of "what to save people"? They never think about it, just because they are soldiers, and being soldiers is about keeping other people's lives safe. In the same way, Anako Hijikata is by Xiao Yan's side, so it is within the range that Xiao Yan should save. As for "what is the reason", such a question seems inexplicable to Xiao Yan.
Because he is the Awakened One, and he wants to save the lives that he can, that's all. As for whether it will be a "more precious" life because of this, it also depends on what the definition of precious is, and people who regard their lives as incomparably precious cannot give their lives when they need it, and they also cannot become a true awakened person.
Such an action may seem brainless or even stupid. But it is precisely because of this code of conduct that it has deeply influenced the way of thinking of the awakened, and in turn has benefited the whole of humanity. Replace the future of humanity with the stupidity of the Awoken, as the Awoken have always done.
"Don't think about the identity of being saved lives"
This is one of the rules about saving lives, considering the identity of the other party, often leading to the final salvation becoming a price to be sold, and the rescue to the most difficult time will become a farce.
It is precisely because of this that saving Anako Hijikata is completely the most normal reaction of Xiao Yan, and it is not because of the identity of the poisonous dragon. Unlike when he rescued Tristina in Scotland, Xiao Yan first thought that he had feelings for Tristina, from this point of view. Xiao Yan is a rescue that only needs to be made. But. After officially becoming an Awakened One, after witnessing the Guardians coming from far and wide to Fusang to kill demons, and so on, Xiao Yan's mentality also changed a lot.
No pursuit of returns. Even if it looks stupid in the eyes of others. That's stupid to the end. If you don't even have the determination to carry out this salvation. How can it be brave to go to the legend in the future?
The poisonous dragon is there, and she is in danger, so the young awakened must rescue her. That's all.
It has nothing to do with feelings, it has nothing to do with interests, because most of the time the awakened choose this.
Xiao Yan fell extremely fast in the darkness, and the high-speed movement even made his side start to burn. It's not an illusion, it's a real situation, not just around him, but in this dark underground, where scorching energy is quietly erupting. The closer he got to the dark bottom, the more obvious this feeling became, and when he reached the bottom, Xiao Yan even thought that there was a sun hidden by rock formations in this underground.
The dragon let out a low roar at his feet, as if it had been hit hard just now, but fortunately, her voice didn't sound too bad. At the very least, it means that the attack she received was not fatal.
"I didn't know you would be so vulnerable."
Xiao Yan whispered, he tried to create a light cluster, but the law here didn't seem to be covered yet, or the law had been distorted in some way, and his light cluster quietly disappeared after a few seconds. Not only that, but the bone armor and bone shield on his body were severely weakened at the same time.
Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Anako Hijikata suddenly stopped breathing for a moment, and it took at least ten seconds before she said in a tone similar to complaining, "I didn't know that you would be so stupid." ”
"As an Awakened One, I'm bound to get dizzy all the time, don't worry about that. But this environment really feels very familiar to me. If there's another bastard named Tamamo Mae, that's great! ”
Xiao Yan's voice gradually became stern, and all kinds of pieces had begun to be pieced together in his mind. Tamamo has 9 tails in front of it, and if you add the main body, there are 10 in total. Among them, those killed by Xiao Yan and them, plus those who were devoured by the Mora carried by Cory, only had 8 tails. There was also a tail that was missing, and Xiao Yan didn't know that there was a body in front of the jade algae at that time.
The underground passage built around the nuclear power plant at the time also looked very suspicious, but the Awakened Management Committee did not find a problem under the nuclear power plant.
Now it seems that this nuclear power plant, which is constantly sinking underground, does not end up falling somewhere underground, but breaking through the spatial barrier and entering this spatial crack. And the body in front of Tamamo has been staying in this spatial crack to observe everything, although I don't know why the Demon of the Rainbow wants to transfer this nuclear power plant to the spatial rift, but all this is not important, at least not so important now. It is important to completely deal with the demon here, Tamama before.
"Laid out for hundreds of years, just for now?"
Xiao Yan moved his body, and now the magic circle could not be used, but it did not mean that he needed to sit still. Returning to this spatial rift from the Hell Realm, the most profound understanding is about using different methods to fight in different environments.
If he had learned to integrate what he had learned in the gap of history, he could no longer distinguish between them. Through the journey to hell, he has learned that the abilities of each system have their own characteristics, and they are not necessarily in a relationship of substitution and conflict with each other. Circles can be more effective in law environments, and energy systems can produce more diverse choices in unfamiliar laws or chaotic environments. There is no need to deliberately divide and replace each other. Using a more appropriate method to fight in the right environment is what Xiao Yan understands now.
A long knife was removed from the cloak, one of the results of Hanni's pulling out the key. After Xiao Yan had enough gene points, he did not continue to sell these equipment, but took them over to practice his master manufacturing skills. Later, after Xiao Yan became a manufacturing master, he further upgraded these weapons, although they did not reach the level of epic, but they are enough now. The key problem is that none of these weapons are epic-level, they don't consume any gems, and at least they are not as heart-wrenching for Xiao Yan. A random battle consumes several high-grade gems, and even a legend will be exhausted after several battles.
In the dark underground, a scorching breath kept pouring out of the ground, and this kind of breath made Xiao Yan's clothes a little dry. Xiao Yan, who turned on the infrared vision, only now did he realize that he had not reached the bottom, but on the edge of a slightly protruding cliff. Not far from his feet, Anako Hijikata was also prostrate on a huge platform. And below this platform, there is an abyss that even Xiao Yan himself can't see the bottom. From the abyss, the scorched air erupted one after another, and along with it, there was also some radiating sensation that made Xiao Yan feel pain in the skin of his body.
This feeling made Xiao Yan more familiar, and the experience of walking in hell came back to his mind, which was not a good memory for Xiao Yan. In the breath that kept coming up like a foehn wind from the ground, a voice could be faintly heard, like a sneer, and like a whisper. These sounds reverberated throughout the cavern, adding to the chaos of the already hot environment. Similarly, such a sound also blocked most of Xiao Yan's perception, and the fluctuation due to the heat also made Xiao Yan's vision in a hazy state.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Yan asked first, and at the same time, he suddenly swung his knife at the right front.
With a "ding", a figure suddenly froze in the void space in front of him on his right, resisting Xiao Yan's attack. Although the figure disappeared again in the next second, Xiao Yan could clearly hear the angry roar of the figure before disappearing.
"How do you know it's there?"
Hearing the poisonous dragon's question, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Where I can't see, it must not be able to see me." If it's going to attack me, like now......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yan stabbed in the other direction of the side of his head. The moment it touched the other party, the long knife that was almost epic made a dangerous shattering sound, and the next second it shattered in the air. But the figure of the other party was obviously hurt this time. Even the roar contained a hint of pain.
"I can't find it if it doesn't act, but if it does, it inevitably makes a difference in feeling. It's just ordinary combat experience. ”
Xiao Yan slammed the hilt of the knife in his hand into the abyss under his feet, and then took out a new sharp blade from his cloak.
"I'm more experienced than they are in combat reserves."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan took out a rope from his cloak and threw it to the poisonous dragon. Unfortunately, perhaps because of the stimulation of radiation, the aura on Anako Hijikata's body became sharper, and the rope in Xiao Yan's hand had already turned into a pile of ashes when it first reached her body.
Xiao Yan cautiously sensed the changes in the aura around him, and whispered, "Oh, well, we still need to consider some more complicated situations, such as how to save a poisonous dragon. (To be continued......)
