Chapter 33: The Old Campus
Why are human beings the spirit of all things? In the food chain of nature, human beings are not at the top. The physical ability of human beings is too far from those wild beasts, but in the process of evolution, they have steadily suppressed those beasts. The reason for this is because humans have evolved to learn to use tools. From a simple wooden stick and stone axe, to the magic technology of the past, and then to the current Mandate of Heaven armament! Human beings' creative abilities are endless, but what about animals? No matter how powerful **, how many times can he withstand the slash of the sword? Even the famous flying dragon in the Pioneer Land can withstand a single shell of the Blazing Flame Cannon? So, when encountering a fierce beast, oh, don't panic! Remember, human beings are the spirit of all things! Use your mind to defeat it!
I don't know why, Xu Zhige's mind at this moment remembered the words that the former wilderness survival teacher instilled in them enthusiastically.
"But it's better to use a stick if you use your brain now!" Xu Zhige, who was dodging the lion, pulled Han Ling all the way to run.
Han Ling looked back as he ran, "This lion is so strange, he just keeps chasing after us, but he refuses to pounce, in the wild, we can't outrun the lion no matter how we run, but this guy seems to want to drive us somewhere." ”
Xu Zhige smiled bitterly and said, "But we really have to be driven ...... by it."
The lion behind didn't look like a beast at all, but like an extremely experienced hunter, watching Xu Zhige and Han Ling run away in the direction he had predetermined.
"See! There seems to be a building in front of us! Hide inside, we will have hope!" Xu Zhige excitedly said.
In the process of running, Han Ling has always paid attention to the changes in the surrounding environment, even now that she is being chased by lions, she has also noticed the sign hidden under the shade of the tree.
After a hurried glance, Han Ling's heart skipped a beat.
When Xu Zhige and Han Ling ran into the complex, the lion who had been tracking them snorted, then turned around indifferently, and disappeared into the bushes in a few steps. There was a light of human wisdom in a pair of beast eyes.
"Whew, huh, finally ran in!" Xu Zhige, who was supporting his knees with his hands, bent over and panted, and asked, "Han Ling, are you okay?"
"Han Ling?"
Xu Zhige asked but didn't get a response, and when he looked up, Han Ling was covering his mouth and looking around. Hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"Pigeon, I think we may have gone off the beaten track. Han Ling smiled bitterly: "Originally, I expected that we would be able to reach the Academic Affairs Office as long as we kept walking north, but I just looked at the notice board and compared the surrounding environment now, we may have entered the old school building." ”
"Where is it now?"
"Just took a look, maybe this is ...... Proving ground?" Han Ling took out the map and carefully compared the surroundings and got a pale answer.
Legend has it that this place has been bombarded with too much spell energy and class skills, and the remaining energy has produced some kind of mutation, so don't enter the living!
Now that the two of them are in a place like this, and they are alone, it is clear that this is not good news.
Call!
The night breeze came from nowhere, and there was a cold wind with grit blowing from nowhere.
"What's going on?"
I don't know when, a gust of wind and sand blew in the test site.
Xu Zhige protected Han Ling with one hand, "There can be wind and sand in a place that is so thoroughly greened? There is a problem! Han Ling, be careful!"
In the midst of this inexplicable cold wind, the flying sand wind swirled, and more and more sand came from nowhere, and the whole test site was like a small sandstorm.
Tut!
A tearing sound made Xu Zhige subconsciously look around, and his trouser legs were actually cut, and there were slight beads of blood oozing out. But then it was absorbed by the wind and sand.
Wind and sand that hurts people and sucks blood? What kind of spell is this?
Fortunately, the sandstorm did not last long, and after holding on for a while, it gradually stopped.
When Xu Zhige was able to open his eyes, he found that in only ten minutes, the test site had become a 'man-made desert' covered with sand.
"The sand seems to be the product of a spell. I didn't expect that after such a long time, the spells in this test site would still appear!What kind of terrifying experiments did this place go through in the first place?" Han Ling's description was embarrassed, and his face was not good-looking.
At this time, the sand covering the facilities of the training ground slowly disappeared, as if they appeared without warning.
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Zhige looked at his trouser leg, and the cut wound was still a little painful, which made him believe that this was not an illusion.
Han Ling's heart palpitated and said, "The magic energy of superheroes is really terrifying......"
How strong were the seniors back then?
The spells that have been left for many years can still have such a terrifying scale, which shows how terrible the spells cast by the superheroes at that time were.
"Now that we've deviated from our original route, and the lion may be waiting for us outside, I'd suggest taking a detour. Han Ling took out the map, "Judging from the map, the location of the test site we are in now only needs to go to the west, and you can go to the Academic Affairs Office in a big circle." ”
"Well, there's no way around it. Xu Zhige nodded and said, "Hurry up and get out of here, otherwise I won't know what spells will appear later." ”
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night wind on the road blows like a knife cut, and there is sand and dust in the middle, which makes people a little unable to open their eyes.
But fortunately, Xu Zhige was lucky, and rummaged through the indoor lockers in the training ground, except for some equipment left over from that time. I don't know what the situation was at the time, but anyway, goggles and veils were all fully equipped, and they were walking quickly in the wind and sand. Taking advantage of the moonlight, the two of them didn't care about the danger of moving forward in the dark, and only hoped to be able to distance themselves before dawn.
"Do you think you can still discern the direction now?" Xu Zhige asked with his head lowered and tried not to let the wind and sand blow into his mouth.
Han Ling's state is not very good, it takes more mental and physical strength to move forward in the desert at night than expected, especially now that the night wind is blowing, and from time to time there are one or two streams of wind and sand blowing towards his face, which makes people unable to open their eyes. "I can only do my best! Except for the avenue, which is barely recognizable, all the other trails are unrecognizable......
The wind blew stopped once again without warning, and at this time, Xu Zhige and Han Ling finally left the range of the training ground. After stepping out of the range of influence of the residual spell, the air and environment around these four areas suddenly became much better, and there was no such feeling of dust billowing down.
"Pigeon, it seems to be ...... here A hostel, or a hotel, right?" Han Ling said with some uncertainty.
What is the idea of building a hostel next to a place like a training ground?
"Don't guess! let's go inside and have a look!" Xu Zhige pointed to the "hotel" in front of him.
It is said to be a hostel because there is a dirty wooden sign hanging in front of the house that reads "Oasis Hotel". But the surrounding environment is not a hotel, even a funeral parlor is believed, and there are walls that have fallen into disrepair and cracked, and they are covered with plants such as wall creepers. The fountain in the middle, not to mention the water, almost sprayed sand. On the top of the house, there were even a few birds that I didn't know what they were, and they looked like black crows hovering over the cemetery. It makes people feel uncomfortable at a glance.
"Aren't we going to rest here tonight?" Looking at the entire deserted village ruin-shaped hostel, Han Ling covered his eyes with one hand, comforting himself with the thought of "it must be the wrong way I opened my eyes".
"Don't think about it so much, just go in and take a look?" Xu Zhige's bad thoughts in his heart flashed again, and the birds on the roof seemed to be completely unafraid of the living, quietly guarding the roof, watching Xu Zhige and the others slowly walk into the house through their dark pupils. After a while, with a long roar, he flapped his wings and flew towards the sky where the dark clouds were gradually approaching.
The two people who pushed the door in were first choked by a thick puff of smoke and coughed. This doesn't know how long no one has been showing up where the dust and smell are usually very scary.
"Looking at the dust inside, I don't know how long it has been since no one has been around, and it's a strange thing that this place hasn't completely rotted yet. Xu Zhige stretched out a finger and touched the table lightly, which was stained with a thick layer of dust, and because the windows were closed for a long time, there was a strange smell of mold and rot in the room, which made the few people who walked in frown.
"It's really not clear about this, maybe it's also related to the energy left over from the spell?" Han Ling said thoughtfully: "I remember hearing the teacher say that in some places with abnormal energy, changes in the environment may also cause some differences due to the relationship between energy. The most famous example is probably the location of the Polar Palace, the island of ice and fire where a sea of ice and a volcano coexist. ”
"Well, I just don't know if this residual energy will affect the things in this hostel. Honestly, it's definitely much safer here than outside. At the very least, they won't be exposed to the wild, and they don't have to worry about beasts like lions before. ”
