Chapter 62: Sacrifice
He is worthy of being a "good old man" who has been systematically reviewed, and he does not forget to be helpful in a foreign environment, and he does have a hand.
However, there is no problem with Xiao Pingtou handling these things, if Lin You is replaced by himself...... Aside from being able to kill a few more people, the results are not too much different.
Lin You also took a fancy to this point in Xiao Pingtou, so he trusted him.
"Well, that's right, in the past few days, you will go out to clean up the remaining monsters and accumulate more points, this is all money, strive to win the second and third place, and by the way, let Zhang Yao train more, and you will protect her by the side."
"Don't worry, that's my favorite girlfriend, of course I'm protecting!" The small flat head patted his chest and was very confident.
A cold "fatal blow" choked Lin You, and he hurriedly drank two large mouthfuls of water before finally swallowing it, and after savoring it, his mouth was full of dog food.
"Tell Zhang Yao to get up and eat! Go, go......"
He deliberately raised his tone, knocked on the empty canning box to urge Xiao Pingtou, and when he saw that Zhang Yao was finally woken up, he walked aside satisfied.
……
In this way, everything is going according to Lin You's expectations.
He slept in the altar hall every day, and the duo went out on time to fight the little monsters.
Ashley's work can no longer be carried out, because Lin You's ghost energy is about to be squeezed out by her, and he still wants to save a little to deal with the final boss.
Therefore, Ashley had nothing to do, so she took Lin You's knife to prune the leaves of Xiaohua every day, if Xiaohua hadn't grown fast, she would have been cut bald by her.
On the tenth day, an unknown catastrophe finally came.
This time it was a rain of corruption, and it had been raining for nearly ten hours since midnight.
Lin You stood in the stone house with his hands behind his back, looking up at the light breeze and drizzle outside, if it wasn't for the system prompt, he really couldn't see that this thing had any lethality.
[This is a rain of "corruption", the target of its "corruption" is all living things, the remnants of the corpse of the "High Priest of Shadows" are steaming at the bottom of the lake, so the rain is full of poisonous gas, shadows, curses, and his "resentment", it is difficult for the living body to withstand such a test, as for the consequences of not being able to bear it...... That's also hard to predict. 】
……
"Why is this Roland more powerful when he is dead than when he was alive?"
Lin You couldn't help but ask, "He obeyed the dispatch to ask for the crime, but he was taken down by the witches, which shows that his strength level is not high, but after he dies, he spreads shadows, engages in corruption, and wants to be resurrected to become the final boss, no matter how you look at it, such a guy will not be able to beat a few witches with four-star strength......"
He was asking Ashley this question, and only she could explain why Roland had such a change.
Ashley blinked and replied, "Do you remember what I said earlier about 'resurrection'?" ”
Lin You nodded firmly, "Of course I remember, but he is already dead, how can the dead continue to stir up trouble and set off this rain of corruption?" ”
"He's dead, but in a sense he's not dead."
"Oh?" Lin You was quite surprised, "It's dead, but it's not completely dead, how can you say it?" ”
"It turns out that the master is not omniscient." Ashley smiled, walked to Lin You's side, leaned lightly in front of the door, and looked sideways at the rainy sky.
"Roland used a secret technique before he died, fed himself to the swamp monsters, and the gods said that the devout will coexist with the shadows by dedicating themselves to the shadows, and this lake full of swamp monsters is the embodiment of Roland, and if you want to calm him down, you have to clean up all the swamp monsters without landing."
"Time-consuming and labor-intensive...... In that case, will Roland die? Lin You touched his chin, "I just hope to weaken him, but if he dies without knowing it, won't he be able to get the reward." ”
"Don't worry, the Shadow is tenacious." Ashley replied.
After Lin You heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ashley actually called "Shadow" "this thing", which shows that she also subconsciously got rid of the influence of the Shadow God and completely discarded the so-called "faith".
It made him feel very satisfied.
……
Thirteenth day.
Xiao Pingtou sat on the experimental table, eating canned food while reporting the situation to Lin You.
"In the past few days, we have been walking outside, and we haven't even met a single person, (goo dong goo dong, ah-), it may be that the rain a few days ago wiped out the remaining contestants, so we found a lot of treasure chests and picked up a few pieces of equipment, and this time we don't have to worry about eating and drinking."
Zhang Yao stood aside and said, "It's really a big gain, I mean myself." The effect of this week's training is quite obvious, although it is much worse than you, but at least it is not the level of zero combat effectiveness. ”
"So much progress in a week?" Lin You asked in surprise.
"Of course, don't look at who the coach is!" The little flat head patted his chest proudly.
"Then you two will show me the actual battle."
"Huh? Over here? Zhang Yao pouted, "I don't want it." ”
"The boss has said oh, good, obedient, we will show him the actual battle."
"Don't ......"
"Hurry up, baby, come ......"
"Don't ......"
"......" Lin You watched the two of them change from serious chatting to flirting with a black line, and finally couldn't help it.
"Stop! My bad! I'll take back what I just said, and now I'm going to report on the situation on my side......"
Xiao Pingtou and Zhang Yao agreed, stopped and listened quietly.
Lin You cleared his throat, "Hmm...... These days we ate 53 cans and drank 62 bottles of mineral water......"
Xiao Pingtou: "It seems that there is no situation...... Come on, let's fight......"
Zhang Yao: "Don't, I hate ......"
Lin You scolded and walked out of the hall.
When I came to the stone house, I saw a miniature version of Ashley standing in the doorway and looking out.
Lin You went over and grabbed her, and then put it on his shoulder.
"Any clues?" He asked.
"Nope." Ashley said, "Could that strange sound be misheard by the owner?" I've been secretly monitoring here for a long time, and I haven't noticed any suspicious people approaching. ”
Lin You shook his head, "No, my perception system is strengthened, it's easy to tell whether it's a human or a monster, the rhythm percussion sound I heard that day is definitely a human behavior, the strange thing is that I didn't smell any abnormal smell, the sound is also a little distant, I can't really hear it, but there is no doubt that someone is around here." ”
"Then he may be afraid of his master's strength and dare not show up."
"In short, you can't be careless, in the face of a life and death crisis, people can do anything if they are forced to do anything, not to mention that they don't know the depth of my strength at all, let alone be afraid."
Lin You stretched out his finger and touched Ashley's little head, "It's hard for you these days, keep a lot of surveillance, Flavor is at the door of the hall, and this place is also within its attack range, just ask it for help if there is danger." ”
