"Monster?" Mushroom
In a tent in the military camp, Zhou Li, who was talking to Eluma, raised his head in surprise. He looked at the solemn-looking Luo Ka and asked in disbelief: "A monster appeared in Tariq?"
"That's right."
Luo Ka, who was wearing an adventurer's costume, pulled the light-transmitting goggles to his forehead, sat cross-legged and said in a deep voice: "Three days ago, when I was collecting snowfall data in the northern mountains, I discovered a bull deer with a purple head. , the strength is not very strong, only about gold. But it can release a strange purple miasma. Once I come into contact with it, I will feel weak and irritable. "
"Devil's Breath..."
Zhou Li frowned and said one word. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Did you kill that cow deer? Did you bring it back?"
"That's the crux of the matter."
Luo Ka took out a thickened camera rune and tapped it lightly. A piece of white paper engraved by magic appeared in front of Zhou Li, "After I killed this monster, its body disintegrated on its own. It only took less than three minutes. This is the photo of the magic energy that I printed. Take a look."
Zhou Li took the photo and looked at the content with Eluma. On the white paper, a hideous and terrifying purple body was lying on the ice and snow. The deer's head, whose original appearance could be vaguely discerned, was covered with outturned bones and deformed skin. When Eluma on the side saw this photo, a trace of panic suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Zhou Li on the side noticed Eluma's emotions. He stretched out his hand and gently landed on the other person's shoulder, which calmed Eluma's originally panicked mood. She looked at Zhou Li, nodded slightly, and then whispered:
"Yes, this is the devil infected with devil's breath."
After a brief silence, Zhou Li sighed, put down the photo, and said to Luo Ka:
"Inform Mr. Herrinen."
"Now we have to face more than just Jinggui."
Demon, a strange and bloodthirsty creature. mushroom
This kind of creature has never appeared in the entire history of Gaia continent. In other words, before Zhou Li confirmed this kind of creature as a real existence as a brave man, everyone regarded the demon as a legendary monster. Of course, they were not wrong, because before Zhou Li appeared, demons did only exist in legends.
However, when Zhou Li first came to this world, a demon named "Lin Gui" targeted him. At the same time, Lin Gui also told Zhou Li about the existence of the devil.
Zhou Li still can't forget that that night, a man holding a longbow massacred the family who took Zhou Li in. Whether it was the boss who took him and Eluma in, the three-year-old child, or the cook who often added an extra piece of meat to Zhou Li's bowl, they all suffered at the hands of the demon-like monster.
Lin Gui was standing on the roof at that time, looking down at Zhou Li and the young man who was frightened by the flying flesh and blood. In a harsh voice, he told Zhou Li that the devil would always be with him until it killed him.
It was also that night that Zhou Li finally came to his senses. He understood that this world was not a world that could be loaded and restarted in the game. To die is to die completely.
That night, Zhou Li, who had been stuck in the bronze level, was directly promoted to silver. He took out the long sword given to him by the village chief and defeated the Lin Gui. After burying everyone in that family, Zhou Li and Eluma traveled to various parts of that small country, hoping to find Lin Gui and take revenge. In the end, Zhou Li lured the Lin Gui out of the snake's hole and killed him.
However, at that time, Zhou Li always believed that "the devil will always be by your side" said by Lin Gui meant that Lin Gui could be reborn or turned into an innocent soul. But when Luoka told Zhou Li that a monster with the same characteristics as the Lingui appeared in the north of Tariq, he understood the true meaning of that sentence. mushroom
Demons are a race.
When Zhou Li conveyed the news to Herinen, in just three days, thirty-two demon attacks occurred throughout Tarik's territory.
What these incidents have in common is that all the attackers have purple parts of their bodies.
There are also devil horns of different sizes. These demons move quickly and are cruel. Once they attack, they will leave no one alive. But fortunately, Zhou Li announced the existence of the devil in the name of the brave before, and Tarik strengthened the defense and patrols, thus minimizing the losses.
Of course, through Herining's contact, Zhou Li also learned that there were traces of demons in other countries. But the quantity and quality of these demons are not comparable to Taric's, and they are extremely small. Therefore, Zhou Li concluded that Tariq was where the demons mainly attacked, and he also had a guess.
"I feel like it's because of me."
Zhou Li looked at the sand table filled with various flags, and said solemnly to Tiya beside him: "Do you remember asking me about that Lin Gui I told you before? He said something, the devil will always be there By his side, I feel like he's not warning me, but reminding me."
"Will you?"
Tiya was startled for a moment, then frowned and asked in confusion: "Then why did he remind you?"
"I have no idea."
Zhou Li shook his head. Now it seems that Lin Gui might have been a little weird towards him at that time. On the one hand, he killed the entire village. On the other hand, Lin Gui had clearly killed a family of five, and it was easy to silently kill Zhou Li and Eluma. But he stood in front of Zhou Li and said that reminder with a victor's attitude.
It was clear that Lin Gui had gold-level professional abilities at that time. Even if Zhou Li awakened to Silver out of thin air, he would not be qualified to defeat the opponent at all. It is not only a professional crushing, but also a double suppression of experience and consciousness. However, Lin Gui was repelled by Zhou Li.
Thinking about it now, Zhou Li found that Lin Gui, a demon, was full of doubts. But soon, Zhou Li shook his head, turned around and said to Tiya: "Have you seen the distribution pattern of demons?"
"almost."
Tiya nodded. She looked at the place names on the sand table, then stretched out her white fingers and pointed at the place name of a village. "Although the distribution of these demons avoids staying in this place, if their movement tracks are all Draw, then this point is the point with the most intersections."
Looking at the town of Delta pointed by Tiya, Zhou Li nodded and said, "Yes, this is the intersection of these monsters."
Delta Town, a place name that Zhou Li was very familiar with. Because this is the place where he came to this different world after traveling from the earth, and it is also the town that holds all the memories of his new life.
It was a small town mainly engaged in animal husbandry. There were only a few dozen families in the town. If it weren't for the livestock trading market, it would have been an ordinary village. When Zhou Li first came to this world, he and Eluma were poor and had nothing. If the old village chief hadn't taken them in and given them jobs, then he and Eluma would have experienced the feeling of starving to death. .
The impression that that town gave Zhou Li was that it was simple, hospitable, and had a sense of humor. Of course, it was also there that he obtained the first weapon in his life and defeated his first enemy, the mutated Minotaur.
After coming back to his senses, all the key points on the sand table had gathered in the small town of Delta. Zhou Li rubbed his chin, and after a brief thought, he said to Tiya, "Commander Tiya, I want to personally lead a team to this area to explore the local situation."
"You want to go in person?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Tiya's face. She frowned and said, "Give me a reason."
"The intuition of a brave man."
Zhou Li knocked on his head, smiled and said to Tiya: "Don't worry, I will run away if something goes wrong."
"Intuition is not a reason."
Tiya shook her head and said with a serious face: "Now the action routes of these monsters are gathered at one point. If you lead the team rashly, you may never return. I will lead the team this time, and you will too. In it.”
"You will lead the team yourself..."
In the barracks, the relationship between Zhou Li and Tiya had an additional layer of superior-subordinate relationship. Of course, Tiya enjoyed this process very much. After washing her hair, she would always ask Zhou Li to call her Lord Tiya with a wicked smile on her face, and instruct him to wipe her hair.
hair. But every time, she would immediately give in under Zhou Li's eye attack, respectfully say "Master Brave, I was wrong" three times, and then make the same mistake again.
Of course, in front of Tiya's men, Zhou Li always gave Tiya enough face. After all, three years was enough for the two people who were originally somewhat distant to become good friends who talked about everything. Whether it was the strange and interesting knowledge in Zhou Li's mind or his character of treating everyone fairly, Tiya admired him very much. mushroom
Similarly, Tiya, the resolute and resolute Storm General in front of outsiders, also showed in front of Zhou Li that heroic appearance and cuteness can appear in one person at the same time. Tia's character is very interesting. She is not just a cold-faced knight, but the kind of person who is majestic in front of outsiders. But once she faces people who know her well, she will act like a stupid but understanding person. Smiling like a Samoyed.
At the beginning, Tiya and Zhou Li did not communicate much. After the mysterious incident at the airport, the two people, who had an inexplicable tacit understanding, began to communicate. After entering the military camp, this brave man who didn't care about his identity at all and could chat with soldiers or workers of any class caught Tiya's attention.
At the same time, this girl who was as quick and decisive as a storm in front of outsiders also attracted Zhou Li's attention. As he got closer, he discovered that this seemingly upright female knight was actually a girl in her twenties. She had a very cheerful personality, but her long-term military life had made her accustomed to being cold-faced. sense of oppression.
Zhou Li still remembered that when he met her in the cafeteria, she was holding a pile of food and staring blankly at the menu with only white bread in her hand. After a brief moment of embarrassment, she directly placed more than half of the meat in her arms on Zhou Li's plate without saying a word, just nodded vigorously and left quickly.
What she didn't know was that Zhou Li was still treating his meat-eating constipation syndrome at that time. After barely eating the small mountain of meat, Zhou Li lived up to his expectations and became constipated again that day.
After that meeting, his relationship with Tia deepened day by day. After Tiya ran away from an argument with her father Herinen, Zhou Li found a crying girl with pear blossoms in a park. Then, the girl took him to a huge furnace and told him about her mother.
Since then, Zhou Li and Tiya have become close friends, and soon they have become the most trusted comrades on the battlefield. Zhou Li's fighting style is very unique. He prefers to attack enemies from special angles. Tiya is the complete opposite. Her attacks are often wide-open and wide-open, leaving no blind spots. Blade storm is the best way to describe her. Such two people complement each other inexplicably after working together, and they can often win with a crushing attitude. mushroom
After Tiya was promoted to the commander of the army, Zhou Li also took over her previous position and became the captain of the team. Since then, the two rarely went on the same mission together. Tiya also complained about this matter, and she had long wanted to ask Herinen to let Zhou Li serve as her deputy. But after considering Zhou Li's identity, she gave up the idea.
A brave man can be a team leader, but he cannot be someone's assistant.
This time, it was the first mission the two of them had undertaken together since Tia was promoted half a year ago.
"Counting you, me, and Eluma, there are twenty-five people in total."
On the magic armored vehicle, Tia, who was wearing heavy platinum armor, took off her chainmail gloves and put them on a shelf nearby. Then she took out three chocolate candies from under the seat panel and handed them to Eluma and Zhou Li. .
"This operation will take a long time. We need to conduct a geological survey and magic energy detection in the local area. The estimated time is about ten days. We have contacted the national monarch Luo Wei of Delta Town, and they have agreed to us Entry application.”
"I agreed quickly."
Zhou Li held the chocolate in his mouth, chuckled, and said, "I thought that old boy would reject it outright and then make a request in private."
"They probably want to rely on us to suppress the opposition parties."
Taking out another bag of chocolate bars, Tiya glanced at Eluma who was looking at the scenery outside the window without leaving a trace, and then said to Zhou Li: "So, there is a particularly important point in this mission. That is, no matter what, Nor can we participate in their own country's
In dispute. "
"That's easy to say."
Zhou Li waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just the world police? Don't worry, we will clear it up."
"I'm relieved."
Tiya was very relieved about Zhou Li. At this moment, Zhou Li, who was curious about how beautiful the scenery Eluma had been looking at, opened the blackout curtain on the side and looked out the window. mushroom
When Zhou Li's eyes fell on the wilderness through the car window, he seemed to see a girl with long white hair standing on a mountain not far away, looking at him quietly. And there was a suffocating deathly silence in those blood-red eyes.
