Chapter 115: Promise
Ling Feng was silent, he didn't believe what came out of the mouth of the girl in front of him, and he didn't want to believe that there was such a cruel thing in the world, which was being experienced by countless people, but the facts were laid out naked in front of him and people had to face it, Xing Min was a living example.
How many bloody sacrifices and disgraceful deeds are there under the glory of this holy city, and how many gloom and hypocrisy and ugliness are behind the glory of this continent and even the entire planet.
Ling Feng really didn't dare to imagine it, and he couldn't imagine it.
Elders who are also dedicated to themselves will do the same, even if what they have taught them before is so reasonable, "Do not be merciful to any enemy, and do not have any illusions about the beauty of this world." ”
He could only quietly look at the sadness and powerlessness hidden under these beautiful and delicate faces, as well as a trace of persistence.
For the first time, he wondered if he should do something before leaving, if he had the ability.
Thinking like this, his hands stretched out involuntarily, and then hugged the girl, just like a big brother comforting the little sister, the tears on her face that had not yet been wiped away, Ling Feng wanted to give her a little comfort, a little strength.
Although Ling Feng's current body was only sixteen years old, and the appearance of holding a girl in her early twenties was a bit ridiculous and weird, the meaning that could be conveyed was still warm.
"I promise you that I will find a way to restore you to a normal body, and the slave seal will be lifted for you. He spoke firmly.
Soon after Xing Min was born, he was used as an experimental subject for emerging research and development projects, and dozens of tests were carried out, large and small, such as implanting an artificial synthetic beast core, and then his body was partially transformed into a mechanical body, and a series of inhumane tests, which is why the Presbyterian Council had to plant a slave seal on him.
Because they understand that such people are not only in danger of going berserk, but also have a deep hatred for them and even the Holy City in their hearts, and if they are allowed to leave without restraint, they will surely have endless troubles.
......
Compared with the physical injury, the spiritual wound is more difficult to heal, which Ling Feng is empathetic to, so Xing Min has a strong personality and does not give up on himself for this.
At this moment, Xing Min was stunned and hugged in his arms for a long time.
"I'm leaving, and I still have training, and if I delay any longer, if I can't pass the test, I can't leave with you as your squire escort. Xing Min pushed away Ling Feng's not strong chest, cheered up, stood up and walked out the door.
As he passed by, he paused, and a soft voice squeezed out of his throat, "Don't make any more promises to me, I'm afraid I'll take it seriously." ”
"You can take it seriously, because I'm not lying..."
"I used to believe too much, that's why I am what I am today, and your promises will only have bad consequences for me. ”
Ling Feng looked at the back of the disappeared door, and wanted to stretch out his hand to stop it, but he only stopped in mid-air, because he understood that the woman in front of him had her own persistence, and he also understood that he couldn't prove how reliable his promise was, after all, he couldn't even see his own future, so how could he promise someone else's future?
In fact, what Xing Min needed was not a person's commitment, even if Ling Feng really had hope of doing it, maybe she just lacked someone who could give that determination for her and go to the soup and fire, even if the other party couldn't do it, obviously Ling Feng was not, the moment she turned around and walked out of the room, she already understood that Ling Feng was just a good person, that's all.
The previous touching was also buried deep in my heart in an instant, if you look at it from the front, you can find that Xing Min put away the previous short weakness and returned to his former sassy and heroic posture again.
......
Half a day later, Ling Feng came to a river valley in the suburbs of the city with the elders.
The sky here is gray, thousands of ravines, the terrain is fragmented, hills, mountains, plains and wide valleys stand side by side, surrounded by mountains, it can be said that it is a copy of the loess high slope.
And in this strange landscape, there are many monsters roaming around, from creeping slimes, salinized bees hovering in mid-air, to man-eating crocodiles foraging by the riverbed, and giant tailed lizards wandering in the gravel ground.
Ling Feng couldn't imagine that in addition to the prosperity of the city, this underground space also had such a natural scenery, which was really an eye-opener for him.
"I've always had a doubt in my heart, isn't it unusual for cultivation to take effect in three or five months? I can master it in more than ten days, not to mention that I am talented, and I won't always be disliked by you, or is it that the people in the Holy City are all freaks?" Ling Feng stood beside the old man and poured out all the doubts he had had for many days.
The old man's white beard and white hair were dressed in white, and he looked like a fairy wind, his eyes looked into the distance, looking at a certain place in the sky shrouded in yellow sand, and suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the void, and not far away, a rock buried deep in the ground rushed out of the ground and flew to his palm.
"Smack!" I saw his palms clenched, and the stones in mid-air disappeared in an instant, replaced by dots of light splashing and scattering.
Ling Feng looked at the scene that happened in front of him, a little surprised, and a little abrupt.
"The matter you see everywhere in this land is transformed from energy, and even the concentration of energy in the air is several times that of ordinary air, whether you are cultivating or fighting here, your efficiency and power or resilience will increase exponentially. The old man said casually.
"Alright, you are ready to prepare, and then attack these monsters. Ling Feng was about to say something, but was interrupted.
"There are too many delays in the progress ahead, so we will omit some steps, the actual combat is the most direct, and we will talk about it later. After the old man finished speaking, he ignored Ling Feng and sat down cross-legged on a clean stone, closing his eyes and resting.
Seeing that the battle was inevitable, Ling Feng immediately saw the thunder light in his hand appear, and targeted the nearest giant tailed lizard.
This kind of lizard, covered with heavy armor, each piece of scale armor is connected, the body is protected impermeable, and the tail of more than one meter long is thick and powerful, and under the sweep, the rocks are shattered.
If it was another type of magic, it would not be enough to break through such a heavy defense at the beginner level, but he had a thunder skill, so he didn't need to pay attention to such a low-level demon beast.
Thunder spells have the best piercing power for all defenses, and such defensive scales are completely indifferent to it, causing no hindrance.
It's just that he can't go up directly and do it, his lightning attack skill belongs to a single magic with high damage, and at the same time, it will release a wide range of paralyzing attribute thunder arcs.
In this way, being in the lair of demon beasts will inevitably trigger a butterfly effect, attracting countless demon beasts to attack themselves at the same time, which is tantamount to self-extinction.
"That's it. ”
Ling Feng cautiously circled behind the giant-tailed lizard, and when he was less than ten steps close to it, he sprinted forward violently, and at the same time, the thunder arc in his hand suddenly appeared.
The purple-black lace spread out like water droplets, burning black marks on the ground, and spreading along the arm to the last week, scattering in all directions.
"Hush!" Seeing that taking the life of the giant tailed lizard was in an instant, unexpectedly, it suddenly turned around, and a giant tail also flung towards Ling Feng's sideways.
