Chapter 6 Graduation Internship (2)
After the heroes and students had left the guild hall, the mentor said to Gu Shiyu and Adra, "You guys go to the guild hall with me first, I have something to ask you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
There was a large group of people outside the gate, all waiting for the rain to rain. Yolande winked at Gu Shiyu and made a gesture of drinking and celebrating. Gu Shiyu smiled slightly and nodded.
The mentor said to Gu Shiyu: "It seems that your popularity is very good, so many people are waiting to celebrate with you!"
"Hey, it's still so-so!" Gu Shiyu scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"I heard about the grove last night, and you did a great job! You have a lot of appeal, and I hope you can gather more heroes! I heard that the witches came last night, too. ”
"Yes. ”
"Witches are still the middle force, you have to find a way to win them over. ”
"Yes!"
"What I want to tell you is that Roland has already gone out to cultivate this morning!"
I didn't expect Roland to act so quickly!
It seems that he has to hurry up, and he must not let Roland take the lead! If he draws the king's sword first, or becomes the strongest hero in the arena, how can he face Catherine?
As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the guild hall. The mentor sat down and said to his two disciples, "Starting tomorrow, you can go out to cultivate. Do you have any plans?"
Adela looked at the mission announcement and said, "Mentor, let's start with the most basic task!"
The mentor nodded: "This is a good cultivation method, from easy to difficult, step by step. Then you go and prepare! Gu Shiyu, what about you?"
Gu Shiyu looked at those tasks, shook his head, and said, "These tasks are not suitable for me. The tasks I can take on are too simple, and the other tasks require the hero's popularity. I'd better go out and practice alone!"
The mentor looked at Gu Shiyu for a long time, and then said: "Starting from the most basic task, this is an effective way to accumulate the hero's popularity. But you're right, these tasks aren't really right for you. When you accumulate enough popularity to be able to do other high-level tasks, it will be at least a year later, and time waits for no one! You should practice on your own, and if you encounter any problems, you can come back and ask me at any time. When you have accumulated enough Genshin to level up, the Hero Badge will automatically flash, and if you recite the spell on the badge, you will be able to quickly return to the guild. ”
"Mentor, is this what you are talking about, is it the dimensional gate?"
"No, the Hero Badge is nothing more than a magical teleport. Okay, you go and get ready, there are still a lot of people waiting for you at the door!"
A hangover last night, and many people still haven't recovered. Gu Shiyu took a sip of rum, and the wine choked into his nose, and he felt nauseous. Knowing that he couldn't go crazy with his brothers again tonight, he tossed a handful of gold coins on the tavern counter and returned to the docks with Catherine, Eldred, and Cuthbert. Who knew that Yoland, who was addicted to alcohol, also left behind the celebrants in the tavern and ran out with him, which made Gu Shiyu very moved.
Catherine and Eldred were a little sad and didn't want to speak. Catherine, in particular, snorts and strokes her nose at every turn. Adred sat silently beside her, handing her a tissue in time.
Gu Shiyu sighed: "I said that I wanted to go out to cultivate, but in fact, I didn't have any idea at all. Where should I go in the four directions of southeast, north, west, and north?"
Cuthbert gave advice, saying: "Now the company has stable business contacts in both the north and south directions, the east is the sea, but the west has no news. If I had to suggest it, the boss could go to the West, not only to practice, but also to expand his business in the West by the way. ”
"The Western Thieves' Guild is over there, too!" Eldred was worried.
"So what's the matter?!I dare to go to the Thieves' Guild, my brother is much more powerful than me, what else would I not dare!" Yuland disagreed.
Catherine continued to snort, noncommittal.
Yolande continued to pout: "Guzi, go to the west, you go to the Valley of Death first, see if you can find my Qiankun bag! There are still a few black dragons there, with your ability, avoid hand-to-hand combat, use archery, it is not a big problem to face a black dragon at a time, but before you start fighting, you must choose a terrain that is convenient for hiding." I think the place where we hunted dragons last time was very good! Also, the blood of the black dragon, you must not waste it, it can increase the potential in your body. ”
It's hard to see Yolande so serious. Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "Then go to the West!
Unexpectedly, Yolande shook his head and said, "I won't go with you! Practicing in the Lost Lands is usually alone, so that you can truly face all kinds of survival tests and improve your cultivation." ”
Gu Shiyu couldn't help but say: "There are only a few black dragons in the west, do you want me to kill them all?"
Yolande said: "The black dragon was originally a creature that lived underground, and only when it encountered a volcanic eruption, it might occasionally run out of a few. What's more, the black dragon is cruel by nature, as long as it sees any creature, it will never let go. So you don't have to show mercy. It turned out that the entire Lost Lands had been plagued by the black dragon, and after the mentor established the Hero Guild, he led the LinkedIn heroes to gradually expel them. After you kill the black dragon, there is still a vast world to break into in the West. ”
"Okay, then I'll go dragon hunting first, and then I'll go to the west to have a look. It's getting late, let's all go back and rest!"
Adridrid waited for a while, and seeing that Catherine had no intention of going back together, he sighed lightly and said to Gu Shiyu: "Give me your dragon scale cloak, and I will change it for you at night." ”
Before dawn, Gu Shiyu was awakened by the sound of waves crashing on the shore, and found that he was sleeping on a soft chair on the beach. Catherine curled up in her arms like a docile kitten.
Did Catherine and Catherine fall asleep last night when they looked at the stars and the moon? Who covered the blanket on their bodies?
Gu Shiyu turned his head to look around, only to see a package on the wooden bench next to him, and the dragon scale cloak was neatly folded on top of the package.
Could it be Eldred?Gu Shiyu gently pulled his hand from under Catherine's head. With a slight movement, Catherine wriggled her head and drilled into the warmest part of his chest like a newborn animal. When Gu Shiyu all pulled out, he was already tired and sweating.
It was still very early, and the prescription at the junction of sea and sky only showed a little white of the fish's belly.
Let's go quietly, so as not to be sad when we leave. Gu Shiyu folded the blanket for Catherine, looked at her lovingly for a while, and finally made up his mind, put on the dragon scale cloak, covered his head, picked up the package on the side, and gradually walked away.
Outside the gates of Baulston, merchants have already begun to enter and exit in horse-drawn carriages. Gu Shiyu retrieved his dragon pattern sword and phantom bow from the guards, draped them on his body, and headed west.
Gu Shiyu and Yolande came out of the Valley of Death more than ten days ago, so Gu Shiyu was very familiar with the road. What's more, he is also an experienced outdoor enthusiast with a strong sense of direction. The Valley of Death is not very far from the town of Ballston, and occasionally you can meet the heroes of cultivation and the guards who go out on patrol, and the journey is safe and smooth.
When the valley was approaching, he was stunned by what he saw! The magma flowing out of the valley had solidified, and like an ancient glacier, it had formed a huge rocky slope about several kilometers long outside the valley, and the highest point was dozens of meters higher than the original ground. The endless volcanic rocks, black and dark red, have honeycomb surfaces, which are left behind by the gases escaping after the lava solidifies.
The whole valley was devastated, as if it had suffered an apocalypse, and it was difficult to see living creatures, only the tenacious grass stubbornly poked its head out of the rock crevices. Maybe it's the wind, maybe it's the birds, maybe it's some small rodent that brings the seeds of these little grasses here, and they break out of their shells after the rain.
The original familiar geographical environment in the valley completely disappeared, and Gu Shiyu was facing the sun, identifying the direction, and only then did he find the place where he and Yolande were climbing. Yoland's Qiankun bag was dropped here, but how could it be found? Maybe it was buried in the volcanic rock dozens of meters deep, or maybe it had long been melted into ashes by the high temperature of the magma.
Gu Shiyu walked out of the valley and climbed from outside the valley to the top of this huge sinkhole, and found the rock formation where he first hunted the dragon. The carcass of the black dragon had been eaten by scavenging birds or hyenas to a skeleton. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Gu Shiyu set up a simple tent on the leeward rock, lit a bonfire to keep warm and drive away the beasts, and then opened the package.
There was some food in the package, and a large leather pouch. Gu Shiyu unscrewed the stopper and tasted it, and it turned out to be the rum he liked to drink. The rest was a change of clothes, all neatly folded. Catherine wasn't that careful, it had to be Eldred's masterpiece. It's just that I don't know if Catherine asked her to prepare it, or if Adridrid prepared it herself. How could this little girl be so smart and know that Gu Shiyu might say goodbye without saying goodbye?
The wind howled at the top of the mountain, mixed with the howls of wolves in the distance. The temperature dropped quickly, Gu Shiyu added a few sticks of firewood to the fire, wrapped his cloak tightly and lay down to rest, and soon fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, Gu Shiyu was awakened by a strange laughter, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised!
Gu Shiyu quickly added a few sticks of dry grass and dry wood to the bonfire, and the flames rose suddenly, only to see a few black shadows quickly retreat back from the range illuminated by the firelight, but still lingering and refusing to leave.
That's a hyena! This beast with an amazing bite can chew even bones, dozens of hyenas, and even a pack of lions!
This beast is the most patient and will not give up until it achieves its goal. Can the dry wood under your feet last until dawn?
The best way to deal with a hyena is to climb a tree as quickly as a cheetah, but there is only a big rock behind you!
Let's do it, while the bonfire is not extinguished! Gu Shiyu drew his bow and arrow, and shot it between the eyes of the hyena closest to him. The arrow plunged deep into the hyena's skull, and the hyena was killed without a single snort.
When the hyenas saw the blood, they frantically pounced on it and bit it, and the corpse immediately turned into pieces.
Gu Shiyu couldn't help but be terrified when he saw the hyenas brutally snatching their own kind.
Shooting with a bow and arrow is indeed the quickest method, but there is one less arrow to shoot. After shooting more than a dozen, Gu Shiyu touched the quiver and found that the arrows had been shot out!
The flames of the campfire grew smaller and smaller, and the hyenas were closing in. Gu Shiyu used lightning to attack a hyena, but only knocked it to the side, whining and hiding aside.
You can't kill them with lightning, but if you ram them with a furious dash, there are many stone pillars around them, and you can hurt yourself even if you can hurt the enemy, and in the dark, you can't figure out the distance between yourself and the cliff, and if you don't do it well, you will crash off the cliff. Gu Shiyu secretly made up his mind that if the hyena continued to approach, then he could only use the Wrath of the Heavens!
When the last flame in the bonfire was extinguished, Gu Shiyu's Heavenly Fury finally took action! A huge ball of lightning appeared within a radius of dozens of meters under his feet, shocking the hyenas to twitch and tremble.
As the spell energy is violently consumed, the beam of lightning becomes darker and darker until it is extinguished. In the darkness, more than a dozen hyenas who were dizzy by electric shocks, but even more crazy, howled and pounced!
The whining, the crunch of bones being cleaved by swords, accompanied by heavy gasps, was heard from time to time in the darkness, until it was all dead and silent!
When the first morning light shone into the stone forest, the scene in front of me was really bloody enough: a bloody man was leaning against the stone wall and gasping incessantly, surrounded by nearly thirty bloody hyena corpses!
Is this blood Gu Shiyu's own, or are the hyenas?
Thanks to the extremely tough dragon scale cloak that Gu Shiyu wore on his body, the hyena's teeth did not bite into Gu Shiyu's body, but the huge bite force still made his muscles and bones ache.
Gu Shiyu reluctantly climbed up, and the tooth marks of hyenas could be seen everywhere on the dragon scale cloak. Fortunately, hyenas' canine teeth are not as powerful as those of felines, and their most powerful are their powerful posterior molars. Gu Shiyu rested for a while, and when his strength recovered slightly, he went to the circle of hyena carcasses a little farther away to pull out the arrows and put them in the quiver.
When the sun rose, on the opposite volcano, there were indeed several black dragons who went out to feed. Gu Shiyu hid behind the stone pillar and counted slowly.
One, two, three...... There are five of them!
Can't be wrong, it's really five!
With his current appearance, not a single black dragon can deal with it. But the black dragons were hovering high in the air, condescending, and they had already seen the corpses scattered on the opposite cliff, smelled the strong smell of blood, and flew towards this side one after another!
