Chapter 259, The Decision to Start Now (Part 3)
For Calisto's comfort or persuasion, Xiao Yan did not get any relief. Many things are easy to say, but when you actually face them, they can become extremely difficult and painful. Especially walking back from the brink of death again and again, and the sad appearance of his parents after every near-death is constantly reflected in his mind, which will make Xiao Yan even more afraid of death and even more afraid to move forward.
No matter how calm an eighteen-year-old boy is, his mentality is not yet fully mature, and he has experienced too few trials, and he is also very inexperienced, especially the experience of adjusting his mentality, Xiao Yan is actually not much different from a rookie trialist, but he can be more calm and suppress more things in his heart.
On the other hand, the more the backlog, the greater the pressure on Xiao Yan's ability to bear it, and in the end, by now, Xiao Yan is on the verge of collapse. He wanted to move forward, but he didn't have the strength to move forward, the wild laughter just now made him lose all the strength in his heart, and strong fear will make a person's psychology twist into hysterical courage, but when these courage is consumed, the real sense of fear will make people fall into collapse in an instant.
Xiao Yan didn't collapse, but he wasn't far from the collapse, he squatted there, his mind was in chaos. Looking at Xiao Yan, the teenager who showed cringe and fear for the first time, Calisto did not continue to persuade. Every trialist has to cross this hurdle, not through others, but through themselves. Only by personally stepping through this level and having the courage to face the future in his heart, rather than a vain emotion, can a trialist talk about gradual psychological maturity. If this kind of psychology is not broken through by yourself, but solved with the help of others, it is still not mentally mature. When bigger problems arise. Escape will be the first choice.
The current Xiao Yan fell into this choice earlier than the other trialists. He needs to face not others, but himself. You don't have to continue fighting, you can complete the mission and go back more safely. Or fight to zuihou no matter what, and don't care even if you die. There is no question of who is good or bad between the two, and the choice is always in Xiao Yan's own hands.
Calisto turned to look at Lecaon and asked, "What did you catch?" ”
Lekaon knew that Calristo was asking about the reward for the mission after defeating the demon just now. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Basically the same as you." 1500 gene points, 2 skill points, and then, defeating the most hated creature of Yggdrasil, you get an extra gold point, as for the key, I opened a fine-level bracelet to increase the frequency of ranged attacks, do you need it? ”
Calristo shook his head and said, "No." I don't need those, run into a level 7 demon. It doesn't really make a difference if the attack frequency is higher or lower, and when I have the opportunity, I'd rather save more energy to prevent the unexpected from happening. ”
Lecaon knew what Calisto meant, level 1 skills could not produce any effective damage to level 7 demons, losing 1 health point in one minute and 3 health points in 2 minutes, which was nothing at all for a demon with a strong vitality recovery speed. So, instead of pouring all your energy into inflicting more coercive damage on the demon, it's better to think about how you can make the most of your energy to do something more effective.
"You're studying like Parin, my dear sister, and whether you admit it or not, you're shifting your fighting style."
Calristo frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "What fighting style did I have before?" Tell me, Laikaon, what the hell was that vague squad from before me? What role do I play in it? ”
"It used to be a very powerful level 3 trialist squad, it used to be."
Laikaon said nonchalantly, a little in front of him, the demon's body had been steaming to a part of Zuihou, and it looked like a large hand, strangely enough, this hand had not changed much.
"What's that?"
Calristo couldn't help but ask.
"Equipment, equipment belonging to demons, but the ownership does not belong to us, even if Yggdrasil does not limit all this, but aren't the rules of our race so rigid?"
Calristo smiled and replied, "Even if you are rigid, you still obey it, so you are you, my brother." ”
Laikaon turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and asked, "How long will it take for him to make a decision?" ”
Calristo also stared at Xiao Yan and said: "No one knows, everyone's decision will not be the same, for us to move forward may be to him to step back, the choice can only be done by himself, and others can't participate too much." ”
Lecaon got up and walked back to where he had been, where there were still a few keys that he hadn't had time to open, and he shook the keys, turned his head and asked, "Why don't you try to come a few times?" Now Yggdrasil won't take away your harvest, and it doesn't seem that the reward for the mission just now was confiscated by Yggdrasil, right? ”
Calisto took out a key from his sleeve that emitted an even more dazzling golden light, shook it, and said: "If you open the prop, it will be confiscated by Yggdrasil, and the current reservation is just the relaxation of Yggdrasil, and in a few minutes, this key will also be confiscated." ”
Laikaon smacked his lips and said helplessly: "Our level is too low, if we want to deal with that demon, all we need is powerful equipment, and when the ability cannot cause effective damage, we only have weapons to solve the problem." The other question is, what do we do with those demons? Like their absurd appearances, the demons' battles are irregular, and each demon is never the same, and there is no combat experience at all. “
Calristo didn't care about his brother's nagging, but turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, who suddenly stood up, and asked, "How are you?" Palin? ”
Xiao Yan shook his head and whispered, "It's okay, it's not a big decision, I decided to continue." ”
"In fact, even if we don't make a choice, there's no way back."
Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Calisto, and then said, "Those Ming Dynasty natives who dealt with the demons just now are doomed to fail this time, if we don't get involved. ”
Calisto was stunned for a moment and asked, "How can you think about it like that?" ”
"Because they should have another ally in this operation, that monk is pure and good, and the powerful monk has died, and we are actually a substitute for this operation, used to replace that monk's combat strength."
Looking at the two companions with serious expressions, Xiao Yan did not continue.
In fact, the ease that Laikaon and Calisto had just now came from their belief that the gentleman would be able to kill the demon alone, and that the appearance of the Trialist was the icing on the cake. So when they really face demons, they may be in danger, but the real danger to their lives is not that great.
And now, Xiao Yan's reminder made the two of them finally realize that in Trials Shijie, there is no main quest that can really make the trialist float and deal with it. Each trialist must play his or her part in order to accomplish those unknowable tasks.
In other words, the final task of this fourth-level trial shijie must have the participation of the trialist, and it requires the participation of full attention, and the slightest carelessness or superficial form may result in the loss of life.
In fact, even if Jing Shanxin and Junzi were together, the final battle would not be much easier, and this kind of battle was theoretically aimed at a level 4 full formation squad, not a level 3 squad with only 3 people like Xiao Yan and them.
In other words, the three of them had to complete the work of 5 Level 4 Trialists without any problems. This kind of thing has actually driven the entire squad to a dead end.
After Xiao Yan lifted the "lid", Laikaon glanced at Xiao Yan. I have to admit that although he has no experience, maybe it's just a feeling, Xiao Yan is looking at the future of this task, and he is indeed looking farther and closer to the truth than Laikaon and Calisto.
Seeing his companion fall into a new contemplation, Xiao Yan didn't speak, but turned his head to look at the demonic claw next to him that hadn't yet collapsed. No one picked up this demonic equipment, which made Xiao Yan's heart somewhat warm. After all, comrades-in-arms who follow the rules are sometimes more reassuring than those who are close friends.
Only the one who is not afraid of danger and personally goes to the demon's body and completely solves the opponent will have the right to obtain the equipment on the demon's body.
Xiao Yan vaguely remembered which book he seemed to have seen in it, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't have the impression of this book in his mind at all. In fact, just now he rushed up like a fool and sprinkled the potion on the demon's wound, instead of letting Laikaon, who has a higher and more powerful health, go up, and these things suddenly came to his mind for a big reason.
Don't let others die, you must deal with the opponent in front of you as soon as possible, and get the right to get priority after the opponent's death, these things mixed together, and Xiao Yan did something stupid that he could have been a little more careful.
And he was almost killed by the roar of the demon's body. However, when Xiao Yan went to find the origin of these words, he searched through all the books in his mind, but there was no result.
Walking to the side of the demon's big hand, Xiao Yan lowered his head and touched the bone that had been scorched, and suddenly there was a buzz in his head, I don't know what was going on, countless different shijie that he had seen in reality before suddenly came to him.
For a moment, Xiao Yan only felt dizzy, countless battles, countless shijie replacements, countless shijie destructions, almost instantaneously burst out in his mind at the same time.
At this moment, he is like a small child standing in front of a huge projection screen, no matter in front of him or behind him, there are these ever-changing shijies, but the road to the reality shijie has been completely blocked by these chaotic shijies, and he can no longer find them. However, the shijie of these changes is slowly coming to the same ending in the end, that is, destruction. (To be continued......)
