Lei was troubled by Sui Xiong's damn questions. He thought about it very seriously, and then the more he thought about it, the more distressed he became. He couldn't think of an answer that satisfied him.
So that night, he couldn't sleep.
Of course he didn't know that the questions raised by Sui Xiong were carefully crafted by some troublesome people in the earth's network community, specifically designed to let readers experience the "malice of the world." Not to mention he is just a bandit from another world, even scholars from Earth often frown when faced with such questions and cannot come up with a perfect answer.
The next day, when Sui Xiong planned to discuss topics about the world and life with him, Lei directly tore two rags and plugged his ears to show his determination not to cooperate.
Of course Sui Xiong could easily snatch away the two rags, but since people were unwilling to discuss such topics, why should he bring trouble to himself? Coercion is not sweet, and forcing people to do things by coercion has no meaning at all.
But there are some things that can’t be forced, and there are some things that can’t be forced.
For example, save people.
When it was getting dark that day, we were already very close to the edge of the Graystone Mountains. While camping, they heard fighting and cries for help.
According to Lei's plan, I wanted to move forward harder, even if I had to travel at night, I had to leave the Graystone Mountains and camp again. But they were unlucky enough to encounter a cliff. Sui Xiong cast a reconnaissance spell and determined that it would take nearly a day to get around the cliff, and even building a temporary bridge might not make it any faster. When Sui Xiong was too lazy to help build the bridge, Lei had no choice but to go in a circle, which greatly increased the distance and forced him to sleep in the mountains again.
Lei is not afraid of sleeping in the open. This place has reached the edge of the Graystone Mountains, and theoretically there will be no monsters. Even if there are, most of them are the remnants of defeated soldiers who escaped from a defeated battle deep in the mountains. These days, he has been traveling deep in the mountains and has killed a lot of powerful monsters, not to mention these weaklings! It's nothing more than giving up his life in vain so that he can take advantage of it.
It's just that he is really tired of the environment in this mountain. Putting aside the poisonous snakes and beasts, he is troubled by the endless emergence of various poisonous insects. Even if he has anti-insect medication, he doesn’t have to worry about being bitten. Just the buzzing, chirping, and gurgling sound at night is annoying to death!
In addition, before going to bed every day, Sui Xiong would always talk to him about his ideals and life, which made him even more annoyed.
Sui Xiong no longer talked about those awkward questions that made people break their eggs. He just talked to him seriously, "The most precious thing for a person is life. Life belongs to everyone only once..." or "A person's ability may be great or small, but... As long as you have this spirit..." and other topics.
These topics made him feel doubly heavy, even more uncomfortable than those sore questions. 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 chatter of those bugs that said, "You sing and I will come on stage", he couldn't sleep well almost every day, and his mental state was deteriorating.
Therefore, he is very much 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 when he gets there, and then maybe this jellyfish god who is quite fond of being a life mentor will shift his target to someone else, so that he can at least have a peaceful sleep.
Even if this abominable Jellyfish God was still pestering him to ask questions and discuss too profound issues, at least there would be no more noisy insects!
But, not today.
Therefore, Lei was in a very bad mood, so when he heard the sounds of fighting and calls for help coming from the distance, he didn't want to pay attention at all.
"Someone is in danger." Sui Xiong said.
"Yes." He took out the blanket and planned to wrap himself up and sleep while he was tired after eating and drinking.
"Don't you want to save them?" Sui Xiong asked.
"I don't want to," Ray replied, about to lie down.
Sui Xiong quickly jumped on his head and pressed a tentacle against his temple.
The tentacles were bone-chilling and had an unusually sharp feeling. Lei couldn't help but suspect that a hole would be drilled into his skull in the next second, and the red and white contents would flow out.
"You... what do you want to do!" He was startled and asked loudly.
"Help you correct your thinking." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "There is too much filth and evil in your mind, let me help you take some of it out."
Lei was shocked and hurriedly retorted: "My brain will be pulled out before that!"
"It doesn't matter." Sui Xiong said, "If you want to gain something, you have to lose something. This principle of equal exchange is a universal truth in the world. Just a little brain can be exchanged for kindness and peace. Don't you think it's a good deal?"
"I don't think it's a good deal at all! I don't want any damn kindness and peace!" Lei protested loudly.
"Opposition is futile! For evil people, isn't it natural that powerful people have the final say?"
"...I understand, I'm just going to save those people!"
Sui Xiong laughed and retracted his tentacles: "Wise choice, if you do this earlier, it will save everyone trouble."
Lei smiled bitterly, hung the spear on the hook on his back, inserted the long sword into the scabbard at his waist, checked the equipment again, then took a step forward and ran quickly towards the place where the fighting and calls for help came from. .
He is very strong, and after this period of trekking, he has become very accustomed to walking in the mountains. He jumps like flying step by step, as vigorous as an ape jumping between rocks and trees. He only uses After a while, we came to the place where the sound came from.
In a forest, four adventurers were fighting fiercely with a giant bear that was at least two people tall.
It was said to be a fierce battle, but in fact it was better to say it was a one-sided defense and beating. The giant bear is very powerful and has excellent defense. Although its reaction is a little slow, it protects its vital points very well, leaving no chance for adventurers to take advantage of it.
The four adventurers are all young. The two who are fully armored and responsible for frontal combat are probably in their twenties. The one who is wandering around and trying to contain them with bows and arrows is probably in his early twenties. The one who is lying on a tree and using magic to provide assistance is even two years old. They are less than ten years old and can be regarded as a group of young people.
Being young often means lack of sufficient exercise and growth, which means lack of strength. Young adventurers have the highest mortality rate because they lack experience and are often unable to avoid dangers that experienced adventurers can mostly avoid.
For example, if a veteran like Rhodes or Renn encountered the giant bear they were fighting, they would probably throw a piece of meat at it and then throw it around while it was eating the meat. Throw some randomly, then slowly retreat. They may even prepare some sweets and place them high on the trunk of the tree, and leave while the giant bear is competing with the tree.
Most bears in this world are lazy and have a sweet tooth. When there is easy food, they are generally unwilling to risk injury to fight heavily armed adventurers, and if sweet food is close at hand, , even if you don't have any weapons and turn around and run wildly, with a posture of "I am the prey", they will probably not bother to pay attention to you.
But these young people obviously don't know these experiences, or lack the corresponding preparations. So they can only fight the giant bear with their bodies that have not yet grown strong enough.
The odds of winning such a battle are slim. The giant bear has almost grown to the peak of a "beast" and will enter the category of a "warcraft". In terms of adventurers, at least a team of well-equipped and well-supplied senior adventurers are needed - probably at the level of Gerald, who went by the alias "Bald" Nien, and his friends back then - to be sure that all of them will not be seriously injured. Kill it under the premise.
As for these four young people, in Sui Xiong's opinion, during the skeleton night in Baiye Village, Gerald, who was invincible among the skeletons with a battle axe, could probably kill one or two of them in a one-on-one fight, leaving the rest. Every one of them will be injured.
It was obvious that there was no way they could defeat the giant bear. The reason why there have been no casualties so far is simply because the team has a reasonable mix and a certain ability to withstand pressure.
One of the two people in charge was a warrior and the other was a priest. They were both wearing heavy armor and holding shields. This strong armor helped them a lot and rescued them from crises more than once. And with the help of heavy armor, the priest can take time to pray from time to time, cast a magical spell, and restore physical strength to his companions or himself.
In addition, the mage's spells also played a big role. Although there are no advanced spells, just simple shield spells, missile spells, slippery spells, blur spells, etc., the young mage knows the timing of casting spells very well, so he can help every time.
In other words, they are constantly consuming the team's spellcasting ability to wear down the giant bear's physical strength.
Well, just physical strength. Because so far, the giant bear has not been injured at all.
If this continues, the outcome is obvious - after running out of mana, these four young people will be completely unable to withstand the onslaught of the giant bear. At that time, maybe the shooter can escape, and one of the warriors and priests can also escape, but at least one of the two must be left behind, and the mage, who is not very flexible, will definitely be doomed.
Lei lurked near the battlefield, watching their battle quietly, but was not in a hurry to take action.
"Aren't you going to save people?" Sui Xiong passed his words into his mind through magic.
Lei shook his head gently and replied with the help of temporary telepathy: "It's not yet time, they can still persist."
"When they can't hold on any longer, they will be seriously injured."
"It's not that serious. I will take action before then - for these young people, the experience of fighting until the last moment is very precious and can effectively help them grow up."
Sui Xiong didn't urge him anymore. Lei was an expert when it came to taking risks. Since he said 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 still take action himself at the critical moment.
In a battle of this level, everything is under control!
