Chapter 8 The Past Is Like Smoke
And on Su Xiaoye's side, when she and Ling Yexuan looked at each other for a few seconds, she lowered her head and said secretly: What a keen beast sense! Although I had heard how powerful he was, it was not as real as the feeling that this time of looking at her was real.
A trembling electric current spread from the soles of Su Xiaoye's feet to the top of her head, not afraid, but a long-lost sense of excitement, just like an inexplicable excitement when she met an opponent in the game, and the feeling of wanting to fight with it.
However, that feeling was quickly suppressed by Su Xiaoye. Because I am not worthy of being now, I am not worthy of letting such a strong person fight against me, and I guess that I am too weak to attract the interest of others.
But Su Xiaoye believes that there will be such a day, and now he can only silently accumulate strength for the arrival of that day.
After figuring it out, Su Xiaoye no longer looked at the convoy passing by, but quickly ran away from the side path, and soon disappeared on the main road, coming to the place where the long-haired pig was hunted before. There was no one around, and she put the multigrain cake she had been holding in her hand into the package.
Today, Su Xiaoye decided not to waste mana to hunt low-level mutant beasts like long-haired pigs, and planned to continue to go deep into the woods, hunting herbs while hunting high-level mutant beasts.
Su Xiaoye carefully observed the surrounding environment, tried his best to restrain his breath, and slowly walked towards the forest.
At this time, it was only about half past six, and the sun had already risen, and the mild sunlight was sparsely sprinkled in the woods, driving away the slightest cold. Su Xiaoye glanced left and right as he walked, and continued to walk forward without hearing the system prompt, so that he would not delay time and would not miss useful herbs.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I found another herb 'Atractylodes (zhu second sound)' needed to make the little blue bottle, and now there is still one herb 'Shannai' to make the little blue bottle.
Along the way, he also encountered some other herbs one after another, and Su Xiaoye also accepted half of it into the package, and he might use it in the future. The rest is left to continue to grow, and they can be picked when they or others need them.
Most of these herbs are mutated, but instead of being aggressive, they change their medicinal properties. Su Xiaoye thought, maybe it is because this world has mutated that so many fantastic things will appear, and people will find their magic when they slowly study it. But for now, let me benefit from this treasure first.
Su Xiaoye feels that he is in a better mood than ever before, but the old people often remind the young people to be careful of being happy and sad!
At the moment when Su Xiaoye relaxed, a black shadow strung out from behind her left and rushed towards her. Out of the thief's sensitive reaction, Su Xiaoye rolled on the spot as soon as possible, although she successfully dodged the fatal attack, but the hot pain on her left arm reminded her that she was careless.
Without bothering to check the wound, Su Xiaoye was nervously on guard, because there was also a black shadow that slowly walked out. It turned out to be two black clouded leopards, one male and one female.
The two black cloud leopards confronted Su Xiaoye in a triangular posture, and in the face of the black cloud leopards' ready attack, every nerve in Su Xiaoye's body tensed, and he made a defensive posture and guarded.
After a few minutes of stalemate, the male leopard finally lost his patience and attacked first. As soon as it moved, Su Xiaoye sent a spatial blade to the female leopard, and at the same time, her body moved quickly to the side.
The male leopard was very fast, and he was very close to Su Xiaoye. Suddenly, the screams of the female leopard sounded, which made the male leopard attack, and Su Xiaoye was now level 4, which was not much different from its speed, and successfully distanced himself from it.
The male leopard no longer paid attention to Su Xiaoye and ran back to the female leopard's side. It turned out that Su Xiaoye's spatial blade just now caused the female leopard to be seriously injured and fall to the ground by surprise, its two long legs were cut off, and there was an incision on its stomach, and blood kept gushing out.
Facing the wailing of the female leopard, the male leopard howled at Su Xiaoye angrily and made a gesture to take her down. However, Su Xiaoye, who was relieved now, was not afraid of it, and took the lead in throwing a spatial blade over.
Although the male leopard reacted quickly, there was still a blood mark on his back. Injured, it rushed towards Su Xiaoye desperately, and its speed seemed to be faster. Su Xiaoye retreated and sent two spatial blades in a row in the direction it came from, only to see that the male leopard was fierce, but suddenly one of them retreated, and then the body split from the middle, and the back part fell from the air, leaving only the forelimbs and head to continue to fly towards Su Xiaoye.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoye hurriedly fell to the ground sideways, so as not to be hit by the leopard's head, but he was drenched in leopard blood. When Su Xiaoye got up from the ground, he found that his clothes were almost the same as beggars' clothes, it seemed that he would have to prepare some clothes in the package in the future, so as not to have a naked running phenomenon.
The crystal nucleus of the male leopard was dug out and put away along with the corpse of the separated family. Su Xiaoye came to the dying female leopard, looked at its sad and angry eyes, and said sadly and strongly:
"If you want to blame it, blame this world of the jungle! Cast a good baby in the next life, rest in peace!"
With a wave of his hand, he struck the spatial blade to end its life and put the corpse away. Under the prompting of the system, Su Xiaoye was promoted to level 5, and he was not far from level 6. Seeing that the injuries on his arms had healed, as well as the recovered health and mana, Su Xiaoye found that he had really made a fool before.
It turns out that now I don't need to waste time waiting for mana to recover, as long as I level up, I can recover it all. What, what if you run out of mana and haven't leveled up? Isn't there still a little blue bottle and a crystal nucleus? As long as you don't keep killing those low-level mutant beasts with little experience, you can basically level up relatively quickly.
Su Xiaoye's mind was spinning quickly, and he felt that he had to plan well, so that he could still improve the speed of upgrading in the early stage.
However, now Su Xiaoye felt that he had to leave this place immediately, the smell of blood was too strong, and it would cause trouble. Although his injuries and mana had recovered, Su Xiaoye still felt very tired, mentally exhausted, and wanted to find a place to rest.
Su Xiaoye continued to walk towards the woods, this time she didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and walked straight into a distance of about a thousand meters, she chose a big tree and climbed it. In such an environment, she still feels safer resting in the trees.
I chose a suitable branch and half-reclined, looked up and carefully observed the top of the tree and the surroundings, and made sure that there was no danger for the time being. Su Xiaoye closed his eyes and gently rubbed his temples on both sides with both hands for a while, soothing the tense nerves.
After sleeping for a while, Su Xiaoye opened her eyes, because she didn't think that this was a place where she could sleep safely. If you're not careful, your life will be gone.
Feeling hungry, Su Xiaoye took out the multigrain cake that had been put in the morning from the package and ate it. It is always easier to get hungry after exercise, Su Xiaoye decided to prepare more materials in the package in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and wherever he goes alone, he can settle down wherever he goes, how convenient.
Thinking about it, my eyes involuntarily turned red. Su Xiaoye looked up at the sky, she didn't want to let herself cry, that would make her weak. In my last life, since the time when my parents had an accident, I only knew how to cry all day long, and my original relatives only wanted to get money from themselves, and they didn't give themselves a trace of warmth. It's a pity that he was already 18 years old at that time, and he could independently inherit the property left by his parents.
The relatives who did not get the favor did not interact anymore, and she was left alone. At that time, Su Xiaoye had just entered her freshman year, and after the accident, she dropped out of school and stayed at home, after a period of muddy life. She started playing online games and became an otaku, and when she first started playing, she also made some friends online, but she was also deceived many times. Gradually, her personality has changed from a lively and cheerful girl to a cold one, because she doesn't seem to know how to communicate with others, and she is more afraid of being hurt.
After playing online games for 4 years, Su Xiaoye was alone in the rest of the time, with acquaintances, but no more friends. During that time alone, she learned to endure loneliness, learned to be strong, and roamed the world alone like a thief in the game, and perhaps she also looked forward to the person who could join hands with her, but she never met it until she came to this world.
Su Xiaoye feels that the world is very similar to the game now, but it is more dangerous, and he is no longer a player, and if he dies, he may really die.
Suddenly, a sound of Suo Suo came from not far away, waking up Su Xiaoye, who was in a trance, and she looked at it, and three bright red blood bars appeared.
After a while, the owner of the blood bar appeared in Su Xiaoye's line of sight.
Silver white wolf, level 8 active monster, living in groups. Seeing this information, Su Xiaoye secretly said that it was not good, he must have been drenched in the blood of the black cloud leopard, and the smell of blood spread out.
Su Xiaoye looked at the three wolves not far from the big tree, and then looked at the height of the trunk, thinking that this might be an opportunity. Because the trunks she chose for rest were relatively high, she didn't think wolves would climb trees, which was a good place to farm monsters, wasn't it? She's not just a thief now.
The three silver and white wolves also spotted Su Xiaoye, one of them suddenly accelerated and flew towards her, and Su Xiaoye, who had been on guard for a long time, unceremoniously struck a spatial blade and slashed through the belly of the wolf that was exposed in the air.
Bright red blood burst out, and along with the wolf's scream, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. The wolf has already emptied most of its blood, and its health bar is still declining, and it has no ability to fight again.
And Su Xiaoye didn't stop attacking, she sent two spatial blades to the remaining two wolves in a row, and the hit was a surprise.
Since the two wolves had been on guard on the ground, they were only slightly injured, but they aroused their bestiality. They let out a long roar, and their bodies slammed into the trunk of the tree vigorously, Su Xiaoye didn't notice it for a while, and was almost thrown off by the impact. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and held the branch between her feet to stabilize her body.
After escaping, Su Xiaoye silently attacked the waists of the two silver white wolves, one of them was cut off by the waist, and his intestines and internal organs were covered in the sun. The other one was only seriously injured, the scar on its back was deeply exposed to the white bones, it was so frightened that it turned around and wanted to run away, but how could Su Xiaoye let it succeed, and a spatial blade ended its life.
As for the silver white wolf at the beginning, when Su Xiaoye went to check, there was only a little blood skin left, and she also ended its pain easily. Then, looking around to make sure that there was no danger for the time being, Su Xiaoye hurriedly climbed down the tree, went to pack up his loot, and then returned to the tree.
