Chapter 16: On the Road Together
For a moment, Lin Tao was a little ashamed. Or that the ideas that I had always held on to were shaken.
Human potential is endless, and too many people have lived a comfortable life, or are in or pursue such a life. Over time, their potential is untapped, or may not be fully exploited. Because human nature is like this, it is only at the moment of life and death that the survival instinct of human nature often bursts out, showing a strong desire and ability to survive, and the potential is also tapped more thoroughly.
There is no doubt that Long Que, who has survived in the Black Forest for six years, is much stronger than himself in terms of strength.
Lin Tao was doubting the path he had taken before, his own thoughts. I don't have time to grow up step by step, my father is waiting for me, Fubo is also waiting for me, and my mother's revenge is also going to be avenged.
Slowly clenched his fist, and clenched it tighter and tighter.
After telling his story, Long Que seemed to be relaxed. In the past six years, he hasn't said much, and at the beginning, he felt that such a person didn't even have a person to talk to, and he was very bored, so he began to talk to himself. But after a long time, it is a little boring to talk to yourself, because your voice never responds, which is a very hurtful thing. This caused Long Que to be silent when he first met Lin Tao, you must know that he was not such a character before. It's just that his living habits in the past six years have prompted him not to like to talk, and he will be unnatural and unaccustomed to talking to Lin Tao.
Then, man imitates animals and social animals, and wants to be with other people anyway. After being tempted by Lin Tao's food, when he decided to follow Lin Tao, Long Que instantly used strong self-control to cut off the self-isolation accumulated in the past six years and changed himself, which has to be said to be due to Long Que's great perseverance, which is impossible for ordinary people to do.
"What about you, what are you coming to the Black Forest for?" Long Que looked at his partner for a while in the future, and asked lightly, but he didn't notice the violent struggle that Lin Tao was doing in his heart at this time.
Awakened by Long Quan's words, Lin Tao took a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, and forced a laugh twice: "Escape, go to Kailsa through the Black Forest." ”
Long Que raised his eyebrows, but he was a little surprised, "You are not very old, how could you provoke such a powerful enemy, and let you cross the Black Forest alone at the cost of danger." ”
Sincerely admiring Long Que's analytical ability, Lin Tao smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is a long story. ”
Seeing that Lin Tao was reluctant to tell himself, thinking that it was inconvenient for him to know what was hidden, Long Que didn't ask much, but said, "Since you're going to Kailsa City, I think I can help you." After all, six years of life experience in the Black Forest is not for nothing, and it is much better to have me lead you than for you to wander alone in the Black Forest. How?"
Such a big master is willing to accompany him on the road, Lin Tao naturally can't ask for it. Even if Long Que didn't have high strength, with his life experience in the Black Forest, Lin Tao couldn't refuse. With Long Quan's help, he will avoid many detours.
Lin Tao smiled in surprise: "Of course, such a good thing, I am not stupid, how can I refuse, thank you very much." Lin Tao said this sentence very sincerely.
Long Que waved his hand, "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank yourself, if it weren't for the delicious things you cooked, if I didn't eat fireworks in the world for six years, I wouldn't help you." ”
Lin Tao knew that although Long Que's words were good, it was not the main reason, like him, a person who had not eaten cooked food for six years, even if he encountered something delicious, it was impossible to say that he would sink into it, after all, they had unimaginable perseverance and self-control from ordinary people, and they could completely cut off their desires in an instant. It's more likely that Long Que wants to help himself, how can he make Lin Tao not grateful?
"The city of Keelza is located to the south of us, and we need to go all the way to the south. If so, of course, it's nothing, the problem is that the location of the Lake of Hope in the entire Black Forest is relatively outer, and there are almost no magical beasts and dangers here. The only difficulty is that it is easy to get lost. But after the Lake of Hope, you start to really enter the Black Forest. There are more dangers there than you think, and you will suffer several times more than before, so be prepared. ”
Lin Tao nodded, he had expected these difficulties early on, after experiencing two lives and deaths, his heart was also strengthened a lot, and the general danger would not make him panic, and more importantly, his desire to survive and perseverance had also been well trained.
As the saying goes, sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters. In the following time, Long Que slowly told Lin Tao about some of the situations in the depths of the forest and the things that needed to be paid attention to.
After listening to Long Que's introduction, Lin Tao couldn't help but yearn for the journey ahead, and at the same time, his heart was faintly stirred, and the blood in his body was a little boiling.
"I've heard the mercenaries and adventurers in Dink Town often say that the first stop of their supplies is at the Lake of Hope, why don't I see anyone here?"
Long Que smiled faintly, "Just like you described, you don't know where you have gone, how can you find their supply point." They are generally on the shores of the Lake of Hope to the west, a few days away. ”
Lin Tao couldn't help but be embarrassed. Indeed, the Lake of Hope is so big, it is understandable that he could not find the supply points mentioned by mercenaries and adventurers after getting lost.
Soon after, the two hit the road together.
It is true that after having Long Que by his side, Lin Tao felt more or less secure, and it felt good to have someone to talk to.
He hadn't spoken to anyone else for six years, and now he had someone to talk to, and he had delicious barbecue to eat every day, which made him feel as if he had become a "human" again, and he had lived a life that could only be called a beast.
The vast Lake of Hope is vast, and under the guidance of Long Que, the two of them walked in the direction of the city of Kelsa, and they first had to walk along the riverside of the Lake of Hope.
It's an easy walk, after all, it's true that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and the scenery around the Lake of Hope is exceptionally beautiful, unlike the endless shrubs on the outskirts of the Black Forest at the beginning, at least now it's happy.
About three days later, with their extremely fast speed, they walked day and night, and finally arrived at the supply point of the mercenaries and adventurers in the Lake of Hope......
