Chapter 2: Crossing?!
"Cough-cough" Bai Qi was awakened by a strong and pungent smell of medicine, covering his mouth and coughing non-stop. The eyelids were as heavy as lead
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a very dilapidated thatched house. Moonlight peeked through the big hole in the roof. When I looked down, I realized that the wound on my body had also been wrapped in strips of cloth of unknown color.
Sitting up, this action tugged at the wound. Bai Qi couldn't help but bared his teeth.
Turning his head, he saw a pot of medicine simmering on the humble stove next to the haystack where he was lying, and the pungent smell of medicine emanated from there.
The wound on his calf was also fixed with two branches, and he picked up a branch as a crutch and limped out of the door.
When I went out of the door, I looked up and saw that the two bright moons in the sky, one large and one small, hung strangely in the sky.
There was a bonfire burning at the door, and there was a figure sitting next to him, as if he was wiping a knife, and since he was facing away from Bai Qi, he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
The man also heard the movement behind him and turned his head vigilantly. His yellow-brown hair was scattered over his shoulders, his blue eyes, his face was full of beard, and there seemed to be traces of knife wounds on the edges of his beard, he was slightly chubby, and he was wearing a shabby samurai uniform, and there were several large bags next to this person, and I don't know what was in them. The eyes are burning.
Seeing that it was Bai Qi, he threw the knife in his hand aside, and opened his mouth in surprise: "My God! You are so badly injured, you can still survive! God of Creation blesses!"
The obscure words came, but for some reason, Bai Qi could understand what he meant, and he took a long mouth, not knowing what to answer, and at this moment, a huge amount of information came from his mind.
"Did you save me?" As soon as the words came out, even Bai Qi was stunned, although it was intermittent, but it was the same words as the person just now.
Could it be the information in his head just now? Without thinking too much, Bai Qi organized his language, didn't think much about it, and then asked, "What is this place? Who are you? How long have I been sleeping?"
The man seemed very excited, "I'm Flender, the hunter of the village. Hunting on the outskirts of the Warcraft Forest saved you today. You've slept for almost three days since I met you, and where are you? Where are you from? Seeing that you don't have any magic fluctuations on your body, how can you be so seriously injured?"
Bai Qi sighed and said, "My name is Bai Qi, I don't know how I got here, as for the injuries on my body" Bai Qi briefly explained to Flender that the big guy did it.
After hearing this, Flender's mouth grew instantly, his eyes widened very widely, and the beard on his face was still twitching, looking very funny.
"Bai Qi, what a strange name. Flender whispered in confusion, and then turned around and shouted: "You shouldn't be talking about the Earth Explosion Bear, my God! You can actually survive under the claws of a third-level demonic beast! I really shouldn't say anything about you, are you a relative of Lady Luck?"
After Flender's ridicule, Bai Qi's mood also improved. smiled slightly, and said: "Hehe, don't be kidding, I seem to have been injured this time, and I don't remember a lot of things from before, can you tell me about the current situation outside." ”
Since he didn't know how he came here, Bai Qi was very eager to know everything about this world, just the bear magic was amazing, who would know what other strange things were outside.
Fortunately, Bai Qi's lame lie was not seen through by the nervous Flender. Instead, he enthusiastically introduced the situation of this world to Bai Qi, and his actions made Bai Qi ashamed.
After Flender's long explanation, Bai Qi also slowly understood the general situation of this world.
Strength is respected, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain. This is a world that worships force, and people use two different powers, fighting spirit and magic.
Dou Qi is a reference to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi stored in the body and then used. Magic, on the other hand, is a direct communication between the aura of heaven and earth and the use of it. Therefore, the magic is powerful, and the fighting spirit is long-lasting. Which is better or worse, there is still no explanation.
And the strength level of this world is divided into ten major levels, namely scholars, guards, spirits, divisions, generals, kings, emperors, emperors, saints, and gods, and each level is divided into four small levels: lower, middle, upper, and extreme.
For example, Flender, according to himself, is a lower-ranking defender. And the beast that looked like a bear I encountered before was called a demonic beast, and the level of the demonic beast and the human race was about the same, from the first to the tenth order, and the third-order earth explosion bear just now was equivalent to the upper spiritual level strength of the human being.
And in the continent that Flanders knew, humans and many other creatures that Bai Qi had never heard of formed a delicate balance, and the three empires of the human race, the bright sun, the bright moon, and the hidden star, and the countless small dependent states around them, occupied most of the continent's area.
Bai Qi's current location is in the Demonic Beast Forest outside a remote town in the Hidden Star Empire.
Other races, such as elven dwarves and many other humanoids, took over the remaining space. And among all the creatures, the dragon on Dragon Island, which is suddenly far away from the mainland, is the most powerful. But the dragons have a low ability to reproduce and don't come out of the Dragon Valley very often, so they are strong but not a threat, of course, provided that you don't provoke them.
After Bai Qi finished understanding the world he was in, he sighed loudly, with a bitter face, and said, "Sure enough, I have crossed over!" What the hell is this?"
Flender on the side couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of crossing, what do you mean? It can't be that he is mentally ill," and then stood up and stretched out his hand to touch Bai Qi's head.
Bai Qi couldn't help but flick his head, dodged Flender's "salty pig hand", and said angrily: "You are just sick and confused, I'm not sick!" blocked Flender with his hand, and continued: "Speaking of which, uncle, what are you doing in such a dangerous forest?"
Flender's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head and turned over the bonfire with a stick on his side to prevent it from being extinguished. Said slowly: "I told you just now, I am a hunter in the town and village, and the people in the village basically make a living from hunting, although we are not particularly rich, but we are very happy." But for some reason, the number of animals in the forest has been decreasing day by day in recent months, and there are only a few first-level demonic beasts that can be seen running all over the ground now, not to mention other prey that can be hunted. ”
"Oh" Bai Qi disagreed, avoided the injury on his foot, slowly sat down next to Flender, and said, "Uncle Flender, I was so seriously injured, how did you treat me?"
At the mention of this, Flender's gloomy appearance just now disappeared in an instant, and he said proudly: "Haha, although I am only a guard-level fighter, I can also use a little healing magic, to tell you the truth, my daughter is one of the few priests in this town, and a few of my healing magics are learned from my daughter." ”
Bai Qi pursed his lips and said in his heart: As long as you look like this, your daughter may not be as ugly as you are. After a little spoof, he sighed, "Healing magic?" I said, how do you feel that the injury is not too serious. Scratching his head, he continued to ask, "Can Dou Qi and Magic also be cultivated dually?
Flender hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't have this idea, I have limited qualifications, and this is the only achievement in this life, so it doesn't hurt to learn a few low-level magic, but you young people can't, if you cultivate Dou Qi and magic at the same time, at first it will seem more powerful than those who specialize in one type, but later, the disadvantages of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts will also appear, and after the strength is getting higher and higher, it will be very difficult to cultivate one skill, let alone two." ”
Speaking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but interject: "Uncle, what you said is just ordinary people, this doesn't seem to be a problem for some cultivation geniuses. ”
Flender frowned, and continued: "It's not difficult for geniuses to cultivate these two skills, but the difficulty of keeping them in a balance is higher than the sky, you should give up this idea as soon as possible." ”
"Maintain balance? What does this mean?" Bai Qi said very puzzled.
"Yes, keep the balance, I also heard from the fighter who came up from the town to test the qualifications of the village children," said Flender, taking the smoke pot from his pocket, quickly lighting it, taking a deep breath, and then said:
"Dou Qi and magic are two diametrically opposed forces, if you want to cultivate Dou Qi and magic at the same time, you must grasp the degree of these two powers, and you can't differ by a single cent, although it is very simple at the beginning, but it also takes twice as much time for ordinary people to cultivate. But as soon as the strength reaches the king level, it will cross a big hurdle. ”
"What's the hurdle, is it important?" Bai Qi interrupted Flender again.
Flender glanced at Bai Qi fiercely, "What are you talking about, do you want to hear it" Seeing Bai Qi nodded in disdain, he continued what he said just now.
"When your strength reaches the king level, this is the real entry into the ranks of the strong. Under the royal level, they are all dung. That's how this phrase came about.
Because once you reach the king level, you can communicate with the aura of heaven and earth, but what about the dual cultivation of demon and martial arts? Because of the aura of communicating with heaven and earth, the power in the body will become very mottled and chaotic. It was at this time that the extra power of heaven and earth would disturb the balance between the original fighting energy and magic in the body.
If you don't control it well, you will explode and die directly! Many well-known geniuses died when they were promoted to the king level because they wanted to become stronger and go to the dual cultivation of demon martial arts. ”
"Ah, so difficult, I thought the dual cultivation of demonic martial arts was very simple. Alas!" Bai Qi sighed discouragedly, and then said happily, "Uncle, when do you children usually test their qualifications, I will also measure what I should cultivate, you know, because of these injuries, I have forgotten a lot of things." But I firmly believe that I am a genius, and it will not be long before I will become a strong man in the limelight!"
"How old are you, don't laugh, you don't have any fluctuations in your strength, even if it's too late to cultivate now." Besides, it will be several months before the next time the town's fighter comes to the village to test. Are you still a genius?, just your little body?" Flender's words poured cold water on Bai Qi, who was on the rise.
"I'm only sixteen, so I'm not too big. Bai Qi retorted weakly.
"Sixteen years old, just like my daughter, my daughter is a high-ranking wizard, not to mention the rich children who grew up drinking elixir in the big city. It's not that I'm sarcastic, if you can reach the extreme rank within a year, you're already considered a genius. The hardships of cultivation are not something you can imagine. ”
Bai Qi disagreed, and said in his heart: Since God gave me this opportunity to cross, it must be for me to show my ambitions in this different world and create a king hegemony. What is this difficulty, my strength will definitely go up like a rocket.
Seeing that Bai Qi didn't speak, Flender thought that he had hit Bai Qi's confidence, and said with a smile:
"Don't think too much, maybe you're really a genius, and you can practice for three days a day. I became a master all at once. Hehe, go back to sleep, I'll keep a vigil for you. I'll take you back to the village early tomorrow morning, and you'll have to keep your spirits up, so that when the monster comes, you'll have the strength to escape." I have been lucky these days, and I have caught a few first-order demonic beasts. Flender and Bai Qi made a joke. He wrapped the wiped knife in a strip of cloth and put it beside him, extinguished the bonfire next to him, and just lay down beside the fire with his arms on his back and closed his eyes.
Bai Qi snorted, staggered back to the grass hut, lay on the haystack before, staring at the moon exposed from the hole in the roof, I don't know what to think, and it took a long time before falling asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
