The morning sun shines gently across the earth, and the golden morning light not only dissolves the long night, but also seems to eliminate the lingering resentment in Shisanying Village.
But it's just as if.
The fire burned for a full night. Although the houses were relatively scattered and not densely packed, so the entire village was not burned to the ground. However, many places were still burned to the point where only charred collapsed ruins were left. The blood caused by the night of killing The smell was still so strong that it lingered, so much so that the wind seemed to carry a strange fishy sweetness.
Human blood, monster blood, the entire village was covered in blood overnight, and there was basically no inch of land that was not stained with blood.
This season is when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the flowers are fragrant and gorgeous. However, the once prosperous Shisanzakura Village is no longer what it used to be. After all the noisy monsters and ghosts have been eliminated, the only flower-viewers are left in silence. The language is dead.
The remaining living people in this village are probably not in the mood to enjoy the cherry blossoms at this time.
Considering Axiu's condition, Gu Mo found a relatively good and clean room, tidied it up, and put the unconscious girl down. It can be regarded as a turn of events. Not long ago, he was the one who lost the ability to move and could only let the girl take him down the mountain. Now it was his turn to take the girl who lost the ability to move down the mountain.
Even the interval between before and after was less than half an hour, so the situation changed too quickly.
Looking at the sleeping face of the unconscious black-haired girl on the thatch he had laid, Gu Mo breathed out and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Of course the girl's weight is not heavy, it can even be said to be very light, but it is still the weight of a person, and the mountain road is quite difficult to walk.
But he carried Hidechiyo down the mountain by himself, and he only felt a little sweaty now, without feeling tired at all... If you think about it carefully, it was probably because of his hard work not long ago. The reason for increasing the strength value by one point and the constitution value by three points.
Investing one point in the former made him significantly stronger than a normal person, while investing three points in the latter made his physical endurance extremely astonishing. To put it simply, it allows him to bear more weight and at the same time allows the weight-bearing process to last longer.
Sure enough, I'd better add some fragrance...
Gu Mo sighed with emotion. In just one night, he seemed to be completely transformed. Maybe even those who had been exercising for a long time would not be able to reach his current physical level.
Although the speed of upgrading will probably inevitably slow down in the future, judging from the extent of ability growth, the changes brought by each point are precious. It seems that the growth rate is not a fixed share, but the current Basically increase proportionally.
Of course, this is his current guess. There is no evidence to prove that this is the case. The speculation also comes from the experience of feeling that the upper limit of his physical strength is getting bigger every time after adding physical fitness... Well, that's right, purely It's just physical sensation.
But it's not a senseless theory without any reason, but he has indeed noticed a certain terminal, so he thinks so. Because in general, Gu Mo invested three points in the physical attribute, but he only added points twice. The first time he added two points, and the second time he added one point.
What he felt clearly was that the physical growth rate brought about by investing one point for the second time was higher than the growth rate caused by investing two points for the first time...
"Its daybreak……"
Seeing the sunlight outside filtering in through the cracks in the old door and casting specks of light not far away in front of him, Gu Mo leaned his head against the wall behind him and closed his eyes.
There was a feeling that the long night was finally over, but he still gained a lot, and because he hugged his thigh, it couldn't be said that he had a near miss, but overall he was lucky enough to get through this difficult novice village. , and upgraded four levels in a row, accumulating a certain amount of novice capital for his early stage.
At least in the subsequent dungeons, he doesn't have to start without a single dog, but just a level 0 whiteboard new account to start a group in a difficult physical body.
Exhaling softly, Gu Mo opened his eyes again and couldn't help but look at Hidechiyo next to him. The girl still closed her eyes tightly, her breathing was long and the rhythm was very stable... It doesn't seem to be a big problem depending on the situation. I don't know how long it will take to wake up.
He felt that the situation had become a little more subtle, and that the plot he had mastered, or the established "fate trajectory" had deviated to a certain extent - Axiu did not have any problems in the end, even without the power of the spirit stone, she still relied on herself His strong will took back his true self.
This is of course a good thing, but the price is that her mental energy consumption may be a bit high. Compared with the original plot where she recovered with the help of the power of the spirit stone, it immediately unfolded as if nothing was wrong. She has not woken up until now.
My time may be running out...
But if he just left like this, I really wouldn’t be able to rest assured.
Gu Mo looked tangledly at the empty window. From the angle he was sitting on the ground, the scenery outside the window seemed very beautiful. The blue sky was as clear and clean as if it had been washed by water. The cherry blossom trees not far outside the house were The petals are flying like snow, fluttering all over the sky in the wind.
Going over there should be the main entrance of the village. After exiting the main entrance and walking along the road along the river, you should be able to successfully retrace your steps and return to the "spawn point" where you entered the dungeon.
Everything ends here. If you are smarter, you may be able to sneak back home quietly without being discovered before the people in the community get up. Otherwise, it will be a bit embarrassing if they see you in such a mess. It’s hard to explain…
Gu Mo touched the broken skirt of his chest, looked down at the splattered blood on his body, and twitched the corner of his mouth.
I don’t know if his clothes will be repaired by any magical power when he leaves the dungeon. If not, it will be really troublesome. He’d better change his clothes and go back, saying that he went to cosplay, but he always It's better than being rumored to have gone out and killed a few people at night...
Of course, the premise is that the girl can wake up as soon as possible so that he can leave with peace of mind...
Hmm, or to think about it differently, can you take Axiu out too?
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, but after thinking carefully for a while, he sighed, shook his head and dismissed the idea... It might be better to be cautious about this kind of thing, at least until he is sure.
Just when he was feeling quite distressed, the harsh noise of electric current coursed through his nerves, tormenting him as always, causing him to frown and purse his lips, trying hard to suppress this unpleasant feeling.
"Zizi...%¥#@&...Zizi...$#%&@..."
The harsh and tortured noise seemed to be ringing in his ears and echoing in his consciousness, but it was different from before. At this time, Gu Mo could already roughly hear some broken fragments and distinguish useful information from them. information content.
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and quickly concentrated on distinguishing it carefully. It was like people in the past had no entertainment projects, and could only listen to the torturous sound of an old and broken radio, trying their best to extract from it the sound that could barely be heard. content fragment.
"Scene: Thirteen Sakura Village...Zi Zi...%¥#@&..."
"Difficulty: Hard."
"Current scene exploration degree: 87%."
"Zizi...field...$#%&...mode: non-peaceful."
"The mission has been triggered: Find out the problem that caused the Thirteen Sakura... Zizi... $#%&..., and eliminate the demon that caused the trouble."
"Mission completed...Zizi...$#%&..."
"Overall rating: B-."
"Settled based on the comprehensive evaluation, additional rewards...%¥#@&...universal experience, golden key × 1."
"Unlock the achievement "First Blood (Gold)", and the achievement badge gain effect will be activated by default..."
…………
Although there are still many parts that are blurry and unclear, causing key information to be fragmented.
But it's much better than before. Gu Mo, who already understands some of the urinary behavior of some mentally retarded systems, naturally won't expect too much anymore - just cherish what's in front of you, maybe one day another classic demolition will come. The wall is repaired like a wall, and then even these things that can be heard can no longer be heard.
The over-inductance flowing through the nerves disappeared, and the vague interference noise gradually became lower and farther away. He blinked his eyes, convinced that this part of the settlement content had come to an end, and suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief. He had even subconsciously screened the screen just now. Keep breathing.
Having said that, is this a delay so settlement isn't happening until now? The horse-headed ghost has been cold for more than half an hour. The body may have melted like ice and snow in the sun and cannot be found. Is it too late to jump out of the clearance and settlement now?
Although it is also possible that the calculation mechanism is relatively complicated and affected by many factors, so it is not until now that it is determined that the customs clearance is truly completed and settlement is carried out. But considering the appalling bugs and failure frequency of his mentally retarded system, he still believed that this was caused by a delay problem...
It's really amazing, I don't know where to find the complaint hotline.
As always, he cursed the dog system in his heart a few times and vented his dissatisfaction before Gu Mo seriously thought about the information he had just received.
This scene is indeed considered a clearance. Although it is only a scene limited to the Thirteen Sakura Villages and not the entire dungeon world, it is a matter of course. Just like he just cleared the scene at Yukihira's restaurant, it doesn't mean he cleared the entire Shokuki worldview.
The scene should only be a specific scene in the dungeon, and the process and span are relatively suitable. But if it were the entire dungeon... it would take too long.
——It is now March 1555 AD, and Axiu’s story has just begun in this Shisanying Village.
——And when everything ended, it should be 1616 AD, sixty-one years later.
The time span was a full sixty years. Gu Mo really couldn't imagine that it would take a full sixty years to play a round... Then he would have better use the second way to make money, or even No need to bother the enemy to do it yourself.
"The overall evaluation is B-, well, it doesn't sound very valuable, and there is this golden key..."
Frowning, Gu Mo thought about the information he had just obtained, and felt that the comprehensive evaluation seemed easy to brush up. After all, his AFK behavior was serious along the way, and he was able to get through the test by relying on his own efforts, and he actually got a B-level evaluation.
I just don’t know how much extra experience I gained, but it shouldn’t be enough for me to directly upgrade to LV5. And there is also a golden key. Is it used to open the treasure chest? But if you only give the key, do you have to dig out the corresponding treasure chest to use it?
This routine looks a bit familiar...
Checking his inventory, he found the extra things in it. The pattern was indeed a golden key, but according to the instructions, it could be used directly. He opened the dungeon treasure house of the corresponding level and obtained any random item from it. award.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Mo looked at Hidechiyo next to him again, thinking that the black-haired girl might not wake up for a while.
Then the key appeared in his hand, and the moment he took it he felt it sink in, a little heavy.
The length is like a baby's arm, the style is very simple, and the whole body is golden, exuding a sense of luxury...
He was silent for a moment, looking at the large key in his hand, a little doubtful whether it was really made of pure gold, and how many kilograms did it weigh? Having said that, is it a good choice to use it yourself, or if you take it back to the real world and figure out how to do it, you can make a lot of money?
This weird thought flashed through his mind, but apart from other concerns, how could the player resist the temptation to open the box? Almost in the next second, Gu Mo chose the obvious interaction option——
"use."
Then, not far in front of him, the air in the center of the room rippled like water waves, golden light shimmered, and finally lines were outlined in the void, and the texture became three-dimensional from scratch. After a few seconds, a line of A door that seemed to be made of gold appeared before his eyes.
The door was closed, locked tightly with thick chains and a huge door lock.
Is it necessary to be so full of ritual...
Glancing down, Gu Mo took a step forward in confusion, inserted the big golden key into the keyhole of the door lock, twisted it slightly, and heard a click. The key in his hand shattered and turned into The light dissipated together with the door lock and chain.
The door slowly opened. Of course, it was not the other side of the house, but filled with dazzling golden light. There seemed to be an unknown space inside the door.
He was almost blinded by the light, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it. After a while, the glittering golden special effects did not disappear. After realizing it, he gritted his teeth and stepped into the door, being engulfed by the overflowing golden special effects.
When the dazzling feeling disappeared and his vision returned to normal, Gu Mo found himself in a strange room surrounded by mountains of gold and silver jewelry. It was very tacky, but the color, light and jewelery reflected by the precious metals set off well. The theme of this room came out-"Treasure House".
There was a cylindrical high platform in the center in front of him, and a large red fox sat on it, with multiple tails behind him swaying gently, visually like a burning flame...
The next moment, when Gu Mo looked at it in surprise, it stood up from the high platform, its eyes became extremely sharp, and it just jumped forward.
The moment quickly zoomed in the former's field of vision, and seemed to suddenly fall on his face...
…………
As if waking up from a dream, Gu Mo suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was half-leaning against the wall and resting as before.
The house was old, with bare walls and no furniture at all. Before he cleaned it up, the floor was in a mess, with all kinds of objects overturned and messy. It seems that when the incident happened last night, the owner of the house packed up his belongings in a panic and tried to escape from the village.
On the thatch pile nearby, the black-haired girl still had a long breath.
Everything that just happened does not exist objectively in reality? He was a little surprised and looked around.
"Come on, come on, I found something to eat, brother, come and have a taste..."
At this time, the voice of Tokichiro, who was already looking a bit wretched, came from outside the door. The next moment, he opened the door and came in with a familiar smile on his face.
But then, Tokichiro's voice stopped suddenly, and his pupils shrank slightly. In his eyes, he could see a huge fox covered in fire lying quietly next to the strange young man, with nine tails behind him. Brush slowly.
Is this the other party's guardian spirit?
But why the nine-tailed fox?
Tokichiro was instantly astonished. He was possessed by the divine ape, the messenger of the Mountain King. He had also been practicing as a spirit stone merchant for so many years. Naturally, he understood that not everyone could possess a guardian spirit, and that the guardian spirit would only look for those with destiny. Especially, they possess people who are compatible with them.
And the nine-tailed fox...
It is feared as a symbol of "the existence that brings chaos to the world", and on the other hand, it is also revered as a totem that "symbolizes the arrival of a peaceful world".
But no matter which statement it is, it seems to indicate that the young man in front of me...
For a moment, Tokichiro's eyes became hot.
