The sudden heavy rain was particularly violent at this time. In the strong wind, the suspension bridge looked like a small boat that could be overturned by the waves at any time.
Su Mingan stepped on the wooden board and rushed forward quickly. Raindrops hit his face, blurring his vision.
The cliffs at both ends were about two hundred meters apart. Although this section of the journey was dangerous, it was fast to rush over. After a while, he quickly rushed to the other side.
Putting down Fuyuki and Suzunako, he took out his sword, squatted down, and observed the structure of the suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge is hung by a few thin wires, and the bridge deck is made of wooden boards. Even the wooden boards are very thin and look shaky in the wind and rain.
He observed it for a moment and felt that his idea might be realized.
He wanted to build a place here to trap those white weirdos.
As long as he stands at the end of the cliff when the opponent catches up, waiting for the opponent to rush up one by one, he can take advantage of the narrow terrain of the chain bridge to avoid a situation where more people fight against fewer people, so that he can be divided and solved.
He didn't know if terrain killing counted as his experience, but if necessary, he could seize the opportunity to immediately sink the suspension bridge and let the white monster behind fall into the river below.
Here is a very good harvesting experience point.
Having crossed the bridge, he was already somewhat invincible.
It was raining heavily. He wiped the water from his face and noticed that there were poles holding wires on both sides and a triangular support structure under the bridge deck, which prevented the bridge from falling off in the rain.
He stepped forward, with the tip of his sword attached to Oblivion, cutting the wires on both sides to make them thinner. Then he squatted down and cut the iron blocks connecting the wooden boards, thinning them so that they could be cut off with one blow.
While cutting carefully, he suddenly felt a pain all over his body. The pain surged out from all parts of the body in an instant, as if the body was pierced by countless sharp instruments.
It hurt especially his eyes. He seemed to feel something like a hook piercing through his pupils and sticking out from the back of his head, causing a sharp pain that penetrated his bones.
"hiss……"
He breathed in the cold air and paused the movements in his hands.
He knew where this inexplicable feeling of empathy came from. It was the same impact that the death of his clone brought to him.
...Ming is also dead.
As early as when Rang Mingjue came, he knew that the clone would never come back. The fact that he could persist until now was beyond his expectation.
He glanced at the experience bar and kill prompts. Ming had killed nine white monsters during this period, and he had reached level three.
In this way, he still needs to face about twenty white weirdos.
In a situation like a blocked bridge, it's not difficult.
He raised his eyes, glanced at the shaky suspension bridge in front of him, and sheathed his sword.
The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, turning from moderate rain to heavy rain. The surrounding environment gradually became darker, and the river water below slapped the cliff, making a huge impact sound.
In the dark environment under the heavy rain, he felt that the scene in front of him was getting darker and darker.
He looked at the san value, which had dropped to 58 points.
It has reached a value that will cause hallucinations. This value is unsafe. He must prevent his mental state from deteriorating further.
...Let’s switch to the shadow state first.
Su Mingan returned to the cliff and began to switch states.
The power he could control gradually receded, and the sword in his hand seemed much heavier. He could feel the raindrops hitting him, and the touch on his body became heavier.
However, fortunately after the switch was completed, he felt that his eyes suddenly became much clearer. The pervasive sense of weirdness is also fading, including the heightened awareness of the surrounding environment.
Every time he switches states, he needs a certain period of buffering. After all, the contrast between the two states of light and shadow is too great, and it takes a while to get used to it.
He waved his hand, moved his body, and saw Fuyuki and Suzunako standing next to him.
These two people indeed regard him as the leader and now they listen to him in everything. They stood aside quietly when they didn't receive an order, even if they were soaked like two drowned rats.
Dong Xue's dark eyes were watching him with great concentration.
Scattered black hair stuck to her body, and the belt on her shoulders was shaking with the trembling of her body. She seemed to be frozen.
Originally, their clothes were very thin, because Dongxue had been running all the way, and her legs were full of cuts from grass blades.
...If this continues, she may be at risk of developing a high fever.
Su Mingan didn't want the person he finally rescued to die of illness.
"Now you go search nearby and find a place to take shelter from the rain." Su Mingan said to them.
"Nearby...?" Dongxue said, "Is it a cave or something like that?"
"Yes, I will stay here for a while. Let me know when you find the place. Then you can take shelter in the cave and wait for me to come back. Don't come out during the period."
Su Mingan opened his backpack and threw them a few bottles of mineral water, compressed biscuits and dry clothes wrapped in plastic bags - he had always prepared these things.
He also took out a dry cloth and wiped the sword in his hand.
The damp smell of rain is even thicker now.
The sword was covered with water mixed with blood. He slowly wiped the sword with a cloth to wipe away the smell of blood.
He noticed that there were fine cracks on the sword, which seemed to be traces of the fierce battle just now.
I glanced at the panel of Arman's Sword and saw that its durability was only 8 points.
He took out the two repair stones in his backpack and crushed them. Blue light flew out from the stones and lingered on the sword body, as if it was being repaired.
The durability of Arman's Sword gradually increased to 18.
He robbed about thirty or forty of these repair stones in the fifth world. From the overall base point of view, this should be considered a precious prop.
Generally speaking, equipped weapons should be maintained during the rest period in the main god space before bringing them into the dungeon. This kind of thing will not be temporarily restored in the copy.
But at this stage, the skills of sub-professional players who are responsible for maintaining equipment are relatively backward. Maintenance costs are high and there is a risk of equipment breakage. Therefore, many players have never maintained their weapons and throw them away in their backpacks when they are used up. . Perhaps this situation will improve later on. After all, it would be too wasteful to throw away a weapon just because its durability is empty.
Su Ming'an evolved Arman's Sword once before, and its durability had been restored to full value. He didn't expect that this copy would require such a fierce battle, so he was forced to use the repair stone.
He watched the scratches on Arman's sword slowly recover, and he had the idea of finding another weapon.
After all, it was inevitable that he and Ming would go into battle at the same time in the future, so he must not only prepare one weapon.
Moreover, some special circumstances in which weapons are released must also be taken into consideration.
Su Mingan was thinking, wiping his sword, and suddenly felt the sky above him.
Dongxue spread out dry clothes and put them on his head to block the overwhelming rain.
Su Mingan pulled off his clothes: "What are you doing?"
"Don't get wet in the rain, it's cold." Dongxue said, "You will be cold too."
"Take care of yourself." Su Mingan stuffed the clothes back into the backpack compartment. Because the clothes were stained with water, he had to give Dongxue a dry set.
"As long as you don't get sick or have a high fever or anything like that, that will be the greatest help to me." Su Mingan gave her a new set of clothes and told her the truth.
He didn't expect that his cold words would actually make Dongxue smile brightly.
"Yeah. I know." Dongxue said with a smile, "I know, Yangxia is the best."
She looked at him as if she were looking at a satisfactory work.
She smiled and pulled Suzunako away.
Looking at her back, Su Mingan still found it difficult to understand her behavior of placing emotions on an imaginary character.
But he shouldn't be thinking about that right now.
He turned around, threw away the blood-stained cloth in his hand, held the sword, and looked at the long white stream surging from the other side of the cliff.
A pair of eyes as fierce as wolves, flashing with blood, appeared on the other side of the dark sky little by little.
In front of them, stood a tall and thin figure wearing a white coat and spinning a sharp scalpel in his hand. It was Xia Luoyang.
"Yang Xia." Xia Luoyang called him loudly from the other end.
The white weirdos slowly stopped behind him, seeming to be listening to Xia Luoyang's orders.
Su Ming'an stared at that end. In the center of his dark vision, Xia Luoyang's figure was slowly approaching.
With the sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding," the iron ropes collided, Xia Luoyang stepped onto the board with one foot.
Following the cold wind, Xia Luoyang's voice came through the rain curtain, with a hint of leisurely flavor:
"...Yang Xia, you haven't gotten all the clues yet, are you going to leave like this?"
After listening to his words, Su Mingan already knew what was going on.
The most critical clue he had obtained before was a narrative given to him by Flax before his death.
In that narrative, one (1/3) was clearly written on the system panel.
This means that in addition to the key clues given by Flax, he is also missing two key clues.
Judging from the perspective of game mechanics, he believes that the remaining two key clues are one from Dongxue and the other from Xia Luoyang.
…Because there won’t be anyone else.
He opened the escape line in advance, so the teachers on the third day would not be in his consideration range. The only key people he could contact were Dong Xue and Xia Luoyang.
Dongxue's side was easier to deal with. He had rescued her. After a period of time, he was confident that he could get clues from her mouth.
But Xia Luoyang...
He speculated that the conditions for obtaining clues to Xia Luoyang might be the same as for Flax.
If he wants to pass the level perfectly, he may have to defeat the opponent...
Su Mingan raised his head.
Over there, Xia Luoyang stood with one foot on the iron-locked wooden board, his figure swaying slightly as the rope bridge swayed.
Xia Luoyang seemed to have anticipated the possibility that the chain bridge had been tampered with. He just stood on it with one foot and had no intention of stepping on it completely.
Su Mingan took a look at his own status. The health and blue bars were now full. He opened the point adding panel and put all the free attribute points on physical strength.
... He needs physical strength most now.
Even if the physical attribute point does not add health points in the shadow state, he still needs physical strength.
Physical strength includes not only health, but also a person's physical endurance, resistance, weight bearing, endurance, etc... If he wants to stand to the end in this kind of group battle, he must increase his physical strength.
The sky gradually darkened and the heavy rain fell heavily on the ground.
Facing the biting cold wind, Su Mingan wiped the rain from his face and stood on the cliff, staring at the long line of white people on the opposite side.
His vision was getting darker and darker, and he seemed to be able to vaguely hear the strange singing of children.
"You don't seem to want to answer me?" Xia Luoyang said from a distance on the other end.
"There is no room for turning around." Su Mingan said, "You have already said that you will not help me."
"...You chose the most inappropriate route." Xia Luoyang looked at him with some regret: "If you could stay quietly in the white sand paradise, there might not be so many gaps between us."
Su Mingan said nothing.
His first identity was Yang Xia, and he was a doctor at the beginning, so his sanity was inherently disadvantageous.
After experiencing a winter snow sanity test, his condition has declined significantly.
He could no longer stay in White Sand Paradise and had no choice but to escape, otherwise he might really be driven crazy.
"Ming." He called the clone.
His current points are 256 points and 2 career points. He has already used 10 career points to summon Shadow and Ming, so points will be deducted for this use.
100 points were deducted, and Ming appeared in front of him.
Su Ming'an threw the Sword of Arman to him and backed away slightly, looking focused.
He was counting the number of enemies on the opposite side.
"...Is there going to be a war?" Xia Luoyang asked on the other end, seeming quite regretful.
Su Mingan ignored him and just silently counted the number of people on the other side.
If the other party had not been hiding and had sent out all the living white monsters, there would have been twenty-six people standing on the cliff opposite, not including Xia Luoyang.
He didn't dare to bet on the possibility of Xia Luoyang letting him go, and he was more willing to put Xia Luoyang on guard.
If Xia Luoyang was on the same level as Flax, then what he would have to face might be twenty-six berserkers who only had neck weaknesses and were not afraid of death, plus an enemy with 2000 combat power.
The wind and rain are getting stronger.
Su Mingan looked at the other side from a distance of two hundred meters, watching the white torrent gradually coming.
Xia Luoyang was deliberately retreating. On both sides of him, there were white monsters making way for him. After he retreated, the white defense line silently closed around him again.
The suspension bridge creaked, and the first white weirdo stepped onto the planks.
"Dingling--dinging--"
The iron ropes of the suspension bridge are also hung with heart-to-heart locks. The iron locks collide, which is particularly crisp in the heavy rain.
Ming stood at the head of the cliff, holding a sword in both hands.
Su Mingan drank the blue medicine, and his mana was slowly recovering.
His three spatial displacements within an hour have been used up, and he has no way to retreat. If he can't resist it, he can only cut off the chain bridge.
He paid attention to the movement near the bridge and watched Ming swing his sword at the white monster that was about to rush up.
"Shua——!"
A line of blood shot out, and Ming slashed the opponent's neck with extreme precision. The blood mixed with the rain curtain, and the white monster instantly tilted his body and was kicked into the raging river by Ming.
【Exp+4000! 】
The next white monster rushed over again. Although the chain bridge was not wide, it could still accommodate four people walking in parallel. This was also the difficulty in guarding the bridge.
When Ming swung his sword, the white monster seemed to have learned a lesson. He put his arm in front of his neck, and with a "clang--" sound, the sword blade seemed to cut on the steel, making a fierce clash of gold and iron. Voice.
Ming's hands did not shake. Ming's comprehensive melee combat power was actually superior to these single white monsters, and the force of the counterattack could not threaten him.
But soon, Su Mingan, who was standing aside to recover his mana, suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of crisis.
He subconsciously turned around and felt something quickly scratch his ribs, causing a burst of burning pain.
He looked up and saw Xia Luoyang, who was protected by layers of protection on the other side of the cliff, holding a dark gun.
