"Son, you're awake. "The moment my hand was about to touch my brother's palm, I opened my eyes, and in front of me was the face of the old woman, my hand was raised slightly, no one held it back, was it all a nightmare just now?

"I ...... I remember I was in the jungle?" I whispered, looking down to see the black canvas shoes I saw in the jungle, which seemed to be the old woman's.

"It's always been dangerous in the jungle, there are incense on both sides of the road to drive away monsters, but there is no one in the jungle, and I came back to see that you were not there, and I was worried that something would happen to you. The old woman patted me on the shoulder as if to comfort me.

"Sorry to worry you. I barely smiled at her, this time the incident did make my body and mind feel extremely stressed, especially the inexplicable killing pleasure, which made me very panicked, as if I had lost my mind, a pair of invisible hands pulled me into the dark quagmire, I don't want to make myself a person who has no sense of life, never.

"Have a good rest, kid, I'll go make something to eat, I should be hungry." The old woman turned and walked out slowly, and I sat down on the bed in a daze, but the mark on my chest began to heat up for a while, and I attached my hand to it, and in a moment a key appeared in my hand.

The mechanical voice came to your ears, you got a normal key, do you want to summon the treasure chest immediately?yes/no?

"Yes. I whispered, and a sturdy wooden box appeared in my hand, and when I opened the lid of the box, there were three things lying quietly inside, which looked like they had been deliberately shrunk and placed in the box, and when I reached out and took it out, the box disappeared out of thin air, and those things returned to their original size.

Brave's Sabre: White weapon, +4 attack damage, can be exchanged for 90 points

Salamander's Magic Core: A valuable item that can be exchanged for 70 points

Salamander's Blood: A recovery item that can be used after leaving the battle, and can be exchanged for 70 points after using it to recover 30 HP within 30 seconds

Touching the newly acquired long sword in my hand, I remembered the previous one, the previous one said that it could not be taken out of the world, so these said that it was deliberately exchanged for points, that is, it could be brought out and exchanged for trading?similar to the existence of a currency? But these things must not be able to be put down with your hands? I rubbed the tattoo with my fingers, but I felt a tingling pain in my fingertips, and it seemed that the tattoo could not be erased.

"Kid, come and eat. While thinking about it, the old woman came over with a tray of food and placed it on the low table, and I climbed down from the bed to the side of the low table.

"Mother-in-law, you see, I killed a monster when I was in the jungle. I watched her look carefully, still calm and peaceful, which made me unpredictable.

"Kid, if you can, I really don't want you to have to hunt monsters for a living in the future. The old woman sat down on the other side of the table, "My child has not been seen since he set foot on this path, perhaps he has died in the mouth of the monster, this is a never-ending path." ”

"Mother-in-law, I know, I know it's dangerous, but I have to do it, I have a reason why I have to do it. "Eating the plain but filling food on the table, I replied seriously, as long as I am still in this strange world, then that task will follow me, and through the box just now, it can be seen that in fact, everything in this world is encouraging me to go on a killing spree to get high points, and I may leave this world to go to the next world, this may be an endless thing.

"Kid, you don't understand. The old woman sighed but said no more, and at last her face showed a look other than peace, a sorrow that could not be dissolved.

"I ......" I opened my mouth but had nothing to say in this atmosphere, I didn't understand how much of her grief was because of her children, how much was because of me, and how much was because of something else.

"It's not early today, so let's stay here, and it's safe to leave early tomorrow morning. The old woman looked at me and said slowly, I was embarrassed to refuse, and I really had nowhere to go, and if I slept outside, I might be attacked by monsters at night.

"Okay, thank you. After I had thanked her, the old woman had finished packing up the tray and left, and I lay alone in my room, tossing and turning, thinking about the old woman's words, and thinking that I had fallen asleep.

I don't know how long it took for a loud bang outside, I woke up from my bed that it was dark outside, the door of the outhouse was still banging, I just wanted to open the door when I saw the old woman shaking her head at me, "Child, you have a good rest in the room." ”

"Yes......" I lay back down, my ears pricked up to hear what was going on outside.

I could only hear a few words about why you, what you killed, nothing else, and I couldn't hear anything else, and my heart was pounding, and my hand was on the hilt of the sword hanging by the bed, but nothing happened in the second half of the night.

In the morning, after I washed with two dark circles under my eyes, I found that the old woman was not at home, there was a note on the table, I walked over and picked it up, it was scribbled on it, the cave behind the waterhole in the west of the jungle, I was confused, but I thought maybe this was the old woman left me to find her, so I didn't care so much and looked for the past, this time the forest was quiet, the silent insect chirping was extraordinarily loud, I held the sword and carefully moved forward step by step, and the ground gradually began to have more muddy footprints, I followed the footprints and went inside, and found that there were also the corpses of the salamanders, what happened hereI'm wary, who killed the salamander?

I followed the footprints to a waterhole, which was already floating with moss, and by the waterhole was a pair of black canvas shoes, which belonged to my mother-in-law?

I searched aimlessly all the way, and I saw a living salamander, it seemed to sense me, and began to wave its claws and pounce on me, I panicked and dodged to the side, but there were three wounds on my arm, a sharp pain came from my arm, almost at the same time my arm was numb, is this already a feeling that weakens 50% of the pain? Why is it still so painful...... I bit my lower lip and slashed its claws from the bottom up with my sword in both hands, the blood on my arm already staining the sleeve of my arm.

The lizardman licked the blood from his paws, and then there was a thirst for blood in his eyes, as if I were one of its prey, I clenched the sword in my hand to suppress the fear and pain, thinking that I had been complacent about my momentary good fortune, and the naïve idea that these monsters were just so naïve was ridiculous, that they were a group of real monsters who took pleasure in killing, and that I was a human being who still had a conscience, and was afraid of pain and fear.

The lizardman pounced again, this time I quickly turned sideways, the lizardman swung his claw into the air and then reflexively grabbed my chest with another claw, and when I dodged back, I was tripped and fell to the ground, and there was a close-range claw in front of me, and I closed my eyes in fear.

"Never close your eyes to your enemies"

"Be brave"

"I believe in you"

Brother...... Yes! I want to go back alive! I want to see my brother again! I want to live!

I opened my eyes again, and there was a belief called firmness in my eyes, I stabbed the long sword upward, and when the claws stayed in front of me for 1cm, I pierced the heart of the salamander, and the blood fell on me drop by drop along the long sword, this time I gritted my teeth and held back the tears in my eyes, brother, I will be strong, I will live on the premise of being able to protect myself.
