Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Demon God Mentor
Old Town, Edge.
The shop is lit up in the dim light of the sunset.
However, the figure of the old man is still outside the house.
It's just that the old man didn't seem to be asleep this time, but looked at the sky with drooping eyelids.
Li Xingyun approached and called the old man softly: "Aunt Wang? ”
The old man turned his head slightly, and when he saw the comer, he tried to pull out a smile.
"Okay... Cloud... Here it is, thanks... Thank.... The old man slowly stretched out his hand, revealing the metal ID card in the palm of his old hand.
The old man's voice became hoarse, and the simple action of raising his hand seemed inadequate.
The smile on Li Xingyun's face disappeared, and he didn't know what was going on when he looked at the old man's appearance.
Li Xingyun gently took the identity card, and a trace of imperceptible cyan energy probed into the old man's body.
The energy turned around in the old man's body, Li Xingyun frowned slightly, and he didn't understand in his heart: "The body is not injured." ”
I didn't pay attention to the ID card in my hand, and I put it in my pocket, except that it felt a little cold, maybe because of the metal texture.
"Aunt Wang, I'll help you into the house."
Aunt Wang shook her head slightly with a smile on her face.
"No... No... I... Think... Look... Sunshine..."
Li Xingyun glanced at the sunlight that was about to disappear into the sky, and didn't say anything more.
"Then I'll go, Aunt Wang, goodbye."
The old man seemed to have not heard, and his eyes were still looking at the end of the sky.
Although Li Xingyun was a little confused, he didn't ask anything.
After leaving, casually grab a bite to eat in the old town.
Li Xingyun came back and passed by the old man's shop, the old man's figure was gone, and the lights in the house had disappeared.
Without bothering the old man again, Li Xingyun looked at the waning moon faintly appearing in the sky, the blue light flashed, and the figure disappeared in place.
……
"Go to the game, break through the soul devouring attribute tonight."
"it!"
Li Xingyun, who had just played on the tree, was almost shocked by the scene in front of him.
Although the huge beehive during the day looks amazing, it is not dangerous not to get close.
As a result, now that it's night, the whole hive scene has changed.
A large hollow tree trunk, now resembling a hellish gate that shimmered with scarlet blood.
If you look closely, they are all dense and countless wild bee red eyes.
The bees, which were mild during the day and did not take the initiative to attack people, now showed their peak needles, shimmering a little cold in the moonlight.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
One by one, demonic wild bees flew by, with a terrible buzzing sound.
"Buzz!"
A demonized wild bee found Li Xingyun on the tree, and his red eyes seemed to lock on something, and the bee needle lit up and stabbed at him.
"Ding!"
Li Xingyun picked up the black sword and blocked it, and there was a sound of gold and iron striking.
Li Xingyun immediately slashed over with two swords, and the demonic wild bee turned into a faint black qi and dissipated.
System: Strength +2
After carefully brushing around for more than 10 minutes, Li Xingyun frowned and jumped onto the tree.
"It's so uncomfortable to be tied up, if you accidentally provoke a swarm of bees."
In desperation, Li Xingyun had no choice but to continue to go deeper to see if he could encounter other wild monsters.
……
Li Xingyun, who had been walking for nearly half an hour, didn't encounter a single wild monster along the way.
"No, how could such a large map have nothing."
Before the words fell, Li Xingyun seemed to see a hill appear in front of him, and took a closer look by the moonlight.
"It's... How does it look like hair, isn't it..."
I don't know if it's too loud, but the hill in front of me suddenly moved.
As if in the middle of the dark hair, two red eyes the size of lanterns suddenly lit up.
When he saw the name of the monster, Li Xingyun ran away without saying a word.
Demon Earth Bear (BOSS): Level 80, HP: Unknown
"Damn!"
Before this huge monster could fully get up, Li Xingyun had already rushed out dozens of meters.
"Roar!!
Even so, the earth-shattering roar from behind was like a violent hurricane, mercilessly sweeping through every inch of the surrounding land.
-1800
"It's too fierce, it hurts so far."
Li Xingyun desperately sped up his speed, and he didn't care about the direction at all.
"Whew."
Li Xingyun, who was running quickly in the forest, stopped and took a breath.
After running for nearly 10 minutes, I couldn't hear the monster a few minutes ago, and now it should be safe.
After all, even the most powerful BOSS has a territorial range, and if it exceeds the range, it will automatically go back.
Sure enough, the surroundings returned to the tranquility of the night.
Li Xingyun returned to a tree, lowered his head and opened the map.
"I actually came to the center of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest."
Compared with the boss just now, to say that there is no more powerful boss in the center of this map, Li Xingyun must not believe it.
How to get there now Li Xingyun is also a little difficult, and the best way is definitely to go back to the city.
But it will take a lot of time to get back to the place where the wild bees are.
But if you go back the way you came from here now, you might encounter another boss.
After all, it's dark now, and it's not just ordinary monsters, but the boss has become more ferocious and brutal.
And Li Xingyun also found a special place in the map.
That is, the map shows that at the eastern end of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, it is pitch black, and there is no name to mark it.
The edges of the map in all other directions are white, except for the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, which is pitch black.
Li Xingyun looked at the map, he didn't know why, he felt as if he was attracted there.
Shaking his head, he didn't have to think that it must be some kind of advanced map, it was definitely not something that could be explored now.
I feel that the place I am in now is full of danger all the time, and if I don't pay attention to it, I will hang up, and if I die, even if the black sword can be recovered, the attributes will also disappear.
Li Xingyun walked back cautiously while listening carefully to the sounds around him.
I walked for a while.
"Huh?"
The moonlight shone through the trees, and Li Xingyun vaguely seemed to see a small cabin in front of him.
Li Xingyun slowly approached.
On a quiet night, this cabin in the woods may seem a little eerie, but it feels much safer than the terrifying monsters.
The wooden house looks fairly intact, but on the surface it looks like it has been baptized by thousands of years and decayed.
There is a stone table and two stone benches in front of the wooden house, but they are also intact.
Li Xingyun tentatively pushed open the door, and the wooden door, which didn't look strong, felt quite firm.
The moonlight shone through the window in the house, and everything in the room was still clearly visible.
There was only a table, two stools, and nothing else in the room.
"Could it be that there used to be two people living here?"
Li Xingyun couldn't see what was here, so he had to plan to leave.
As a result, before he could push the door and leave, an old voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
"It's a person."
"Who!"
Li Xingyun was taken aback, this voice did appear too suddenly and weirdly.
Even the black sword was subconsciously taken out.
"Huh?"
The moment the black sword appeared, a trace of doubt appeared in the old man's voice.
"The magic sword was actually born."
"The current mainland must be very lively."
"Haha..."
The voice said a few more inexplicable words, but it seemed to be happy to listen to his tone.
Li Xingyun also calmed down, after all, it is a game, and it is acceptable to have any weirdness.
Li Xingyun asked tentatively towards the air around him.
"Hello, do you know this sword in my hand?"
"Haha, of course I do."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"Of course."
"Come and sit outside."
Li Xingyun left the wooden house, and a thin old man appeared on the stone bench outside.
I don't know if it's because of the moonlight, the figure of the old man looks a little illusory and hazy.
Li Xingyun sat down opposite the old man.
The old man had white hair and a kind face with a smile on his face.
But Li Xingyun seemed to have discovered that there was still a trace of deep majesty hidden in the old man's body.
The moon hung high in the night sky, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the stone table.
Li Xingyun placed the black sword on it, and the pitch-black and deep sword body seemed to swallow the surrounding moonlight.
The old man's eyes were on the black sword, and a little nostalgia slowly appeared on his face.
"Alas, a thousand years of reincarnation."
"Who is immune from disasters?"
When he first came out of the Novice Village before, the village chief of the Novice Village said that the demonic energy invasion of the mainland was constantly turbulent.
Now the nameless old man said something similar.
I just don't know if this so-called disaster is the reason for the change of the night monsters.
Li Xingyun didn't intend to interrupt the old man's memories, but the old man himself returned to normal after a while.
"Haha, I haven't seen anyone else for a long time, but I didn't expect the first person I saw to be the person chosen by the magic sword."
Looking at the name of the black sword, you can also think that it is related to the demon god, but the demon god is not what Li Xingyun is interested in.
It's the "self" who gave the black sword to himself.
"Old sir, when I got this magic sword, it was..."
"It doesn't really matter how you get it." The old man interrupted Li Xingyun's words with a smile on his face.
"The important thing is that the magic sword is in your hands, and that's enough."
The old man's inexplicable words made Li Xingyun a little confused.
Li Xingyun quietly looked at the black sword on the stone table, the striking blackness, like the black flame he had seen.
Suddenly, for no reason, Li Xingyun reached out and grabbed the black sword.
The moment he grasped the black sword, it was as if endless power spread throughout his body.
It's like the feeling when you first release the black flame, the power that seems to be able to incinerate everything in the world.
Li Xingyun then understood.
"It turns out that the black sword is all he has."
"Without the power of the black sword, no amount of skill is useless."
The old man looked at Li Xingyun's changes and nodded with some relief.
"I guess you also understand the role of the magic sword."
"Now your path is to increase the power of the magic sword, that is, your own strength."
Li Xingyun looked up at the old man, how did the old man seem to be deliberately guiding himself.
Sure enough, at this time, the old man's name was also revealed.
