Chapter 55: Qualifications for Survival
Facing the wasteland, Lei Luo closed his eyes in the wind blowing in his face.
With the help of Serena's super-telepathic perception, it can be said that there are more eyes of foreknowledge in terms of combat, and the role it plays is needless to say. Lei Luo instinctively became curious about this secret martial school that he had never heard of, but at the moment there were more important problems waiting to be solved.
The impact and vigilance brought to him by the newly dead Horned Demon was unprecedented, and compared to the Eternal Night Battlefield that was first contacted, even the small island infested with xenomorph beasts had become a greenhouse full of sunlight, and there was no danger at all.
I'm too weak.
After crossing the ability attributes, a mysterious door was opened, and after mastering the way to absorb potential, his attention was highly focused on the Shadow Soul Relic, then the Wizard Artifact, and then the Energy Equipment of the Steel Gate. The contemplation and exploration of Miwu itself was gradually overshadowed.
The way to improve the strength is too easy and too fast, which has caused today's unstable foundation. Compared to the horned demon who lives in killing and hunting all day long, he is nothing at all.
It's ridiculous, but it's true.
It is like a royal swordsman who is skilled in fancy skills, encounters a hungry lion in the jungle, and is stunned to find that all his dazzling sword skills have turned into a pale joke in front of the most primitive fangs.
That's how Lei Luo feels right now.
The fear of death and the unknown has always been there, otherwise he would not be so desperate to find the source of potential and improve himself so desperately. Now that fear had risen to a whole new level, he was thinking about the meaning of life.
Survive.
Blooming flowers, chrysalis breaking out of cocoons, croaking babies, and even their own crossings can all be seen as a unique period of rebirth.
So what is the purpose of coming to this world?
Like all living beings, live in the ordinary, grow old in the ordinary, and die in the ordinary, or with the mentality of accepting what is good, live a prosperous life by relying on the attribute of supernatural abilities, buy a large manor, raise a dozen or twenty **, and swallow the last breath on the velvet blanket and the belly of a woman in the future; or, as now, stick to the path of secret martial arts, go through countless hardships and hardships, and finally become a pivotal figure in the Silver Wing Empire and even the whole world?
Neither.
Lei Luo knew that the path he wanted to take was not for any great goal, but only for the affirmation of himself, proving that he had existed, struggled, and fought in the world with a fearless attitude and will.
Even if there is a whistle in hand now, as soon as it blows, the personnel of the Steel Gate will immediately appear and announce the end of the trial, Lei Luo will not choose to leave this desperate realm.
He must prove that he is alive and that he is qualified to continue living.
Closing his eyes in the dark, Lei Luo put his hands on his knees, straightened his waist, and began to meditate.
At the beginning, in order to grasp the fetal breath as soon as possible, he was forced by Bard to learn this boring method of entering the determination. Every time I either fell asleep or was disturbed by a mess of thoughts, I hardly ever really found my state.
Today is completely different.
For the first time, Lei Luo's self-consciousness was qualitatively sublimated, as if he had come out of his shell, and saw his body sitting alone at the mouth of the cliff, looking at the mountains. Then, this free consciousness soared into the sky, rising all the way to the depths of the eternal night, and finally penetrated the boundless curtain.
In front of me, there are thousands of stars, and the Milky Way is like a sea.
She was so tired that Serena didn't know when she had fallen asleep. At the royal capital's house, she would instruct her servants to light incense every day, sprinkle fresh lavender petals under the bed, and ask a full-time musician to serenade in the garden behind the window when she was in a bad mood, so that she could barely sleep peacefully. But today, leaning on the cold and hard mountain rock, she actually slept so much that even saliva flowed out, and the stinky horned demon corpse was lying less than twenty meters away!
"It's really the environment that changes everything......" Serena thought with a slight self-deprecation, and then realized that Relo was no longer there.
She couldn't help but be surprised.
"He's gone by himself? Is it because he's been targeted at him a few times, he hates me to this extent? No matter how great the hatred is, it won't blind his reason! He's not a Pfister, so he doesn't know how far a junior warrior with no capital background can go out in the wild?"
Serena was skeptical, not quite convinced that Relo would go on his own journey. After all, in the process of killing the horned demon, she has already initially shown her value, even if she is really mentally retarded, I am afraid she will know how to choose. What's more, Lei Luo has always behaved treacherously and black-bellied, extremely scheming, how can he be a person who can do things rashly?
One plus one is always greater than two - this is a sentence that Serena's super-ninarian teacher once said to her.
Serena couldn't help but be annoyed when she couldn't find the only partner she was with. In fact, she knows that the real source of anger lies only in one point.
Lei Luo actually dared to say "no" to her, and it was in a good voice and good discussion!
Serena, including Pfister, couldn't remember how long it had been since she had spoken to her peers like this, but the reality seemed to spit on her, with a strong hillbilly vibe.
"This damn pig, you can't be so cool that you fell off a cliff and died, right?!" Serena scolded hatefully, slowing down towards the cliff.
Perceptual vision is completely different from real visual power, and Serena can only rely on the volatilization of telekinesis to identify nearby objects and terrain like a bat emitting ultrasound waves. If you use her as the center of the circle to define the exploration range, a radius of fifty meters is the limit. In this realm, living beings are bright red, and the stronger they are, the more intense the blood and qi surge. As for the rumored cold-blooded demons, Serena didn't want to meet her so early.
Before reaching the edge of the cliff, Serena had already sensed a container placed on the ground, and the container revealed three kinds of energy light: emerald green, earthy yellow, and fiery red.
This is the backpack that Pfister used to hold the pothos crystal and the stone lingzhi, and after being snatched by Lei Luo, he easily put a few live fireflies in it. Seeing that he hadn't even taken something so important with him, Serena couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and let out a low snort.
It took more than ten hours for Lei Luo to reappear on the stone platform the size of a football field.
"Bastard, where have you been? Is this place for you to play......" Serena scolded endlessly, and suddenly saw a figure swaying in her visibility, and she had already received a heavy punch in her lower abdomen!
In an instant, it was like thousands of sharp needles piercing into the abdomen and spreading bloodily inside, Serena stared at her beautiful eyes to the limit, and even her consciousness was about to be swallowed up by severe pain!
"I'm not Pfister, not as personable as he is. If you dare to scold me in the future, I will beat you once, and I will do what I say. After Relo said coldly, he threw a batwing giant rat in front of Serena and turned to walk towards the cliff.
Serena fell to the ground, and it took a long time for her strength to stand up, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Unless you kill me, you will regret it later!"
Lei Luo turned a deaf ear, took out a pothos crystal from his bag, swallowed it on his neck, and lay on the ground and quickly fell asleep.
Serena was stunned when she noticed that he was covered in wounds all over his body, and that blood was trickling down like glowing dye in the darkness.
On the second day of time, Lei Luo stayed in the mountains for nearly ten hours, and came back with bruises all over his body, relying on the green pothos crystal to recover his body.
Serena couldn't resist the hunger, so she resisted the feeling of vomiting, took out a knife and cut the rat meat to fill her stomach, and never asked when Lei Luo would leave.
After a week, the time it takes for Lei Luo to enter the mountain began to become shorter, but the number of times per day increased.
He was still wounded from time to time, and in the worst case, his abdominal cavity was pierced, his intestines dragged outside, and he fell into a coma after taking pothos crystals.
Serena walked over with her knife in her hand, crouched beside him for ten minutes, and finally quietly returned to her side of the stone platform.
A month later, the green pothos crystals and stone lingzhi in the bag had been consumed by Lei Luo by nearly half.
Serena eats raw animal meat every day, chewing a succulent plant that resembles a cactus for hydration. Because everything was found by Lei Luo, the girl slowly developed the habit of not falling asleep until he returned to the stone platform.
On this day, an injured prime-aged horned demon ignored the rules of the territory and broke onto the stone platform. Serena was alone but fearless, using her telekinesis to send out a secret method of mind control, trying to control the horned demon to jump off the cliff, because the distance was too far and she was broken free halfway, and when she was waiting for death with her eyes closed, Lei Luo rushed back in time.
The strength of the prime-aged horned demon is comparable to that of a ninth-level soldier, and it is much stronger than the previous one. In the process of attacking, Lei Luo suppressed his strength at the level of a fifth-level warrior, and with the strength of the weak enemy, he slashed off the head of the horned demon with an incomparably light palm knife in just a few minutes.
From Serena's onlooker's point of view, the horned demon that was rushing at high speed looked like he had sent his head up to cut off Lei Luo.
What a familiar scene!
Serena can finally determine how Relo's injuries came about.
"We can go to Akagi. It was the first time that Relo had spoken since warning the girl that day, and his voice was hoarse.
"Good. Serena didn't expect her first reaction to be submissive.
