Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 49:
Lei was troubled by Sui Xiong's **** questions. He thought very carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more distressed he became. He couldn't think of an answer that would satisfy him.
So this night, he lost sleep.
Of course, he didn’t know that those questions raised by Sui Xiong were meticulously crafted by some painful people in the Internet community on the earth, and designed specifically to let readers experience the "maliciousness of the world". Let alone a robber from another world, even scholars on the earth will often frown when faced with such questions and can't think of a perfect answer.
The next day, when Sui Xiong was about to discuss the world and life with him, Lei directly tore two rags and plugged his ears to show his determination not to cooperate.
Sui Xiong can of course easily **** the two rags away, but since people are unwilling to discuss this topic, why should he be boring? Twisted melons are not sweet, and it is meaningless to force people to do things by force.
But some things don’t need to be forced, and some things just don’t work.
, for example, save people.
When it was getting late that day, I looked very close to the edge of the Greystone Mountains. When they were camping, they heard fighting and crying for help.
According to Lei's plan, I wanted to work harder to move on, even if I had to rush the night, I had to leave the Greystone Mountains and camp again. But they were unlucky enough to encounter a cliff. Sui Xiong used a reconnaissance spell to determine that it would take a day's way to bypass the cliff, and it would not be possible to get there quickly if a bridge was made temporarily. With Sui Xiong too lazy to help build the bridge, Lei had no choice but to go around in circles, so the distance was greatly increased, and he had to sleep in the mountains again.
Lei is not afraid of sleeping. It has reached the edge of the Greystone Mountains. In theory, there will be no monsters. Even if there were, most of them were defeated soldiers who had escaped from a battle deep in the mountains. These days he was marching in the mountains, and the powerful monsters have killed a lot of them, not to mention these weak chickens! It's nothing more than sending him to death for nothing, letting him pick up a bargain.
It’s just that he is really tired of the environment in this mountain, and the snakes and beasts are aside for the time being, just the endless variety of poisonous insects, let him be disturbed. Even if he has anti-insect drugs, he doesn't have to worry about being bitten. Just the buzzing and cooing sound at night will be so annoying!
In addition, before going to bed every day, Sui Xiong always talks to him about his ideals and life, which makes him even more annoying.
Sui Xiong no longer talks about the awkward and awkward problems, but talks to him seriously, "The most precious thing of human beings is life, and life belongs to each person only once..." Or "One person's ability There are big and small, but as long as there is this kind of spirit..." topic.
These topics made him feel heavier, and even more uncomfortable than those painful problems. But he couldn't avoid such a topic, because it would make him feel weak inside.
However, discussing these topics before going to bed will obviously affect the quality of sleep. Coupled with the endless chattering bugs that "Sing it, I'll be on the stage", he can't sleep well almost every day, and his mental state is deteriorating.
So he is looking forward to getting out of the mountains and entering the territory of the Gold Coin Federation as soon as possible. There will definitely be some people there, and maybe this jellyfish deity who has the hobbies of life mentors will transfer his goals to others, so that he can at least sleep peacefully.
Even if the hateful jellyfish **** still pesters him to ask this, ask that, discuss those too deep questions, at least there will be no gnawing bugs!
But, not today.
So Lei is in a bad mood, so when he hears fighting and calling for help from a distance, he doesn't want to bother at all.
"Someone is in danger." Sui Xiong said.
"Yeah." He took out the blanket and planned to wrap himself up and sleep well while he was getting tired and full.
"Don't you want to save them?" Sui Xiong asked.
"I don't want to." Ray replied, and he was about to lie down.
Sui Xiong quickly jumped onto his head and pressed a tentacle against his temple.
The tentacles were cold and bitter, and they had an unusually sharp feeling. Lei couldn't help but suspect that his skull would be drilled in the next second, and the red and white inside would flow out together.
"You...what do you want to do!" He was taken aback and asked loudly.
"Help you correct your thinking." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "You have too much filth and evil in your mind, I will help you extract a little."
Lei was shocked and hurriedly retorted: "Before that, my brain will be drawn out!"
"It's okay." Sui Xiong said, "If you want to gain, you have to lose something. This principle of equivalent exchange is the prevailing principle in the world. A little bit of brain can be exchanged for kindness and tranquility. You don't think it is very cost-effective. Right?"
"I don't think it's worthwhile at all! I don't want **** kindness and peace!" Lei protested loudly.
"Opposition is invalid! For evil people, powerful people have the final say, isn't it a matter of course?"
"...I see, I will save those people!"
Sui Xiong laughed and withdrew his tentacles: "Choose wisely, do this earlier, and everyone will be saved."
Lei gave a wry smile, hung the spear on the back hook behind his back, inserted the long sword into the scabbard around his waist, checked the equipment again, and then stepped forward, hurrying towards the place where the fighting and cry for help came from Ran away.
His strength is strong, and after this period of trekking, he is very used to walking in the mountains, jumping step by step like flying, just like an ape jumping between rocks and trees. It only took a while to reach the place where the sound came from.
I saw in a woods, four adventurers were fighting fiercely with a giant bear that was at least two people tall.
said it was a fierce battle, but it is actually better to say it is unilateral defense and beatings. The giant bear's strength is very strong, and its defense is also very good. Although the reaction is a little slower, it protects its vitals well, leaving no chance for the adventurers.
The four adventurers are young, the two who are in full body armor responsible for the frontal battles are about twenty-four and five, and the one who walks around with bows and arrows is about to be in their early twenties, and the one who lies on the tree to provide assistance Even under the age of twenty, he can be called a group of young people.
Being young often means lack of adequate exercise and growth, which means insufficient strength. Young adventurers have the highest mortality rate, because they lack experience and often cannot avoid danger-and those dangers, experienced adventurers are mostly able to avoid.
For example, the giant bear fighting with them, if old rivers and lakes like Rod and Wren met him, he would probably just throw a piece of fresh meat at him, while he was eating meat. Throw some more messy around, and then slowly retreat. They might even prepare some sweets and put them on the heights of the tree trunks, and leave when the giant bear is competing with the tree.
Most bears in this world are lazy and addicted to sweets. When there is easy-to-get food, they are generally unwilling to risk injury to fight against heavily armed adventurers, and if the sweets are near In front of you, even if you don't have any weapons and you turn around and run wildly, in a posture of "I'm the prey", most of them don't bother to pay attention to you.
But these young people obviously do not know these experiences, or lack the corresponding preparation. So they can only fight the giant bear with a body that hasn't grown strong enough.
The odds of winning in a battle like this are slim. The giant bear has almost grown to the apex of a "beast of beast", and it must step into the category of "beast of beast" even further. Converted to adventurers, at least a team of well-equipped senior adventurers with sufficient supplies—probably the level of Gerrard and his partners who had the pseudonym "Bald Head" Nin—is able to be sure that all the members are not. Kill it under the premise of being seriously injured.
And these four young people, in the eyes of Sui Xiong, at the time of the Skeleton Night in Baiyezi Village, the invincible Gerrard holding a battle axe among the skeletons could kill one or two of them in one dozen. One, and the rest will be injured.
It was obvious that they could never defeat the giant bear. The reason why there have been no casualties up to now is that the team has a reasonable mix and has a certain ability to withstand pressure.
The two who are in charge of the front are a warrior and a priest, all wearing heavy armor and holding shields. This sturdy armor helped them a lot, saving them from the crisis more than once. And with the help of heavy armor, the priest can also take time from time to time to pray, cast a magical spell to restore physical strength for his companions or himself~ IndoMTL.com~ In addition, the wizard's spells have also played a significant role. Although there are no high-level spells, just simple shielding skills, missile skills, greasiness skills, and fuzziness, the young mage has a good grasp of the timing of his spells, so he can help every time.
In other words, they are constantly draining the team's ability to cast spells to consume the bear's physical strength.
Well, it's just physical strength. Because so far, the giant bear has not been injured at all.
If this continues, the ending will be obvious-when the mana is exhausted, the four young people can no longer withstand the onslaught of the giant bear. At that time, maybe the archer can escape, and one of the soldiers and priests can escape, but at least one of the two must be left, and the mage who is not very flexible will definitely be in disaster.
Lei lurked near the battlefield, watching their battle quietly, but did not rush to take action.
"Don't you save people?" Sui Xiong used spells to pass his own words into his mind.
Lei shook his head gently, and replied with the help of temporary telematics: "They can still hold on before the time has come."
"When they can't hold on, they will be seriously injured."
"It's not that serious, I will take action before then-for these young people, the last-minute experience of fighting hard is very precious and can effectively help them grow up."
Sui Xiong did not urge him anymore, Lei was an expert on the issue of risk. Since he said that that would be better for these young people, Sui Xiong chose to believe him.
What's more... Even if he really refuses to save people, Sui Xiong can do it himself at a critical moment.
This level of battle is not everything under control!
