Qing Kong jumped down as he said, and followed Leoria's footsteps and walked two steps towards the cave entrance, but still pulled his black feather cloak uneasy, and asked, "I just need to follow you?"
"No, not only do you have to do your best to kill monsters, but you also need to grasp the timing." Leoria turned his head and said seriously, "Take out your most powerful group attack magic and release it in line with my attack rhythm. It takes some practice to get the best results. So, relax, let's try to see if my idea works."
While speaking, the two had reached the entrance of the cave. Two swamp monsters that looked like red jelly twisted their bodies and rushed towards the clear sky. Leoria immediately drew out the steel sword, and slashed the two monsters flying horizontally. It fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of mud, but there seemed to be signs of life.
"Very good! I can't control the strength of my ordinary skills to kill the swamp monster of level 35—Clear Sky! Hurry up and use your group attack skills, quick!"
Under Leoria's prompt, Qing Kong immediately came back to his senses, and silently recited the level 2 magic explosion spell in his heart. While jumping to the side of the two dying swamp monsters, purple halos shot from the girl's body. The center expands outward, bursting out with brilliant flames, but the energy is too small to kill them all at once. Taking advantage of the time when the two injured monsters were struggling to cheer up, Qingkong fired three magic explosions in a row but failed to deal with the opponents, but instead aroused their hatred. The two monsters finally twisted their bodies and rushed towards the girl again. Qing Kong reacted quickly and jumped backwards. Before Leoria couldn't help it, he fired two fireballs, and finally reached level 22. Achieved the new achievement of hunting a level 35 swamp monster.
"It seems that I have to work harder in the future." Leoria sighed slightly, then clasped his hands against the clear sky, and continued walking towards the entrance of the cave, "Come again."
The further you go into the cave, the more marsh monsters startled, and the second battle attracted 5 swamp monsters at once. Leoria had no choice but to use whirlwind, but fortunately, he was always able to control his strength, and he still gave Qingkong a chance to get the lore. This time, without Leoria's instructions, Qingkong immediately used the magic explosion technique, jumped around several injured monsters, and after detonating the purple light explosion with two consecutive spells, he successfully hunted down 4 monsters. The monster, the last one flew too far, and had to rely on the rhythmic strikes of three fireballs to finally solve it.
"Not bad, there is progress." Leoria nodded with satisfaction, and gave a warning before the next battle began, "Next, we will proceed according to this rhythm, but you must be very, very careful, and don't let If you die by yourself, I don’t know how to revive skills. Once you die, you have to run back to the human world from Rashomon and wake up from the nearest cemetery. I may not be able to find out where the nearest cemetery is. This means that the two of us have a high chance of getting lost. If this happens, I will pick up the extremely important letter to you before your body disappears, because after 5 minutes, this A letter will be taken to the graveyard by you."
After digesting Leoria's informative warning, Qing Kong nodded cautiously.
Afterwards, the two followed the rhythm of the previous two practice battles, and began to carry out bandit-like cleaning operations. The cave glowing with red phosphorescence continued to show a purple halo and more intense firelight, and the night soon became darker and thicker. Before you knew it, another two hours passed...
-
Qing Kong staggered out of the cave and trotted out, and as soon as she stepped into the safe area where there were no strange things, she fell to the ground. Almost without a break, she jumped and released two hours of spells in a row. She was already dizzy and her limbs were weak. Fortunately, based on such desperate and crazy leveling behavior, she has successfully upgraded to level 23, and picked up a bunch of them in her backpack. The swamp monster's eyes looked like they could be sold for a few silver.
Leoria followed her footsteps and came out, calmly walked to the seat beside her and sat down. He took out two green pancakes that seemed to have a circle of green fuzz from his backpack, and handed her one: "Anti-sleep body mushroom pancake, eat one, it will help you regain your strength and consciousness."
Qing Kong took it unceremoniously, broke it into several pieces, but couldn't hide his embarrassment and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.
Instantly feeling that he was back to normal from the collapsed state, Qing Kong took a deep breath, sat upright, and sincerely thanked Leoria: "Thank you for the food, thank you for the guidance."
"You don't have to thank me. Let's continue practicing after a while. Let's see if we can bring you to level 25 through this night's hard work." Leo Lia said as he dug out a gold coin from his backpack and stuffed it into the clear sky left hand.
"This is?..." Qing Kong stared at the gold coin in her hand. So far, she has never taken so much money in this world, and her eyeballs became golden—this is gold! (1000 silver is equal to 1 gold)
"I'm sad to see you in this tattered outfit. When you arrive in Youqi Town, hurry up and use this money to change yourself into a decent outfit." Leo Lia said indifferently.
"This is a piece of gold!... It's too much, how can I accept so much money from you?" Qing Kong came back to his senses, and immediately put the gold coin back into his hand.
However, the local tyrant immediately pushed back this large amount of favor: "You don't have to be too polite, as long as you can help me successfully deliver this letter to King Tyras of Tianqi City, no amount of money will be worth it." .”
"Why did you choose me?... I'm only in my twenties, and I don't understand anything, so weak." Qing Kong couldn't help asking.
"intuition."
After saying these two words, Leoria stood up, walked towards the big rock that the two of them had climbed earlier, and jumped on it, as if she had gone to watch the moon alone.
-
Suddenly feeling the heavy responsibility, Qing Kong looked at the shiny gold coin in his hand in embarrassment, and finally put it away with a hint of helplessness. Then, she climbed up to the big rock where Leoria was, and saw the man lying on his back on the ground with a long-leaf grass that he didn't know where to find in his mouth.
Qingkong walked to his side, lay down, looked at the half-moon in the starry sky, and was about to praise the moonlight tonight, but the man beside him spoke first: "The storm is coming! .”
"Storm?... Didn't it just pass yesterday? How can you tell that it's going to rain again?" Qingkong looked at the night sky seriously, trying to find any dark clouds that he had missed.
"No, a bigger storm is coming, and the storm is hidden behind the calm appearance, but you haven't seen it yet."
Hearing his words, more and more doubts gathered in her heart, Qing Kong finally couldn't help but start the mode of breaking the casserole and asking the truth, so she turned her head to look at his profile, and asked very seriously: "Leo Li Ya, tell me your story. Since you trust me intuitively, let me know your story, and let me know more about the responsibility I carry."
"I'm not a good storyteller. No matter how wonderful a story is, it will turn upside down and chaotic in my mouth. And for those bizarre experiences, I don't know where to start, and I'm afraid I will say Leaking too much."
"You don't need to organize words, and you don't need to worry too much. We are considered companions, right?" Qing Kong maintained a serious tone, "We have traveled together and killed enemies together. Now we still have a common goal, which is Companion. Since you are a companion, you don’t have to be cautious, and you don’t have to worry about your own language organization. I believe I can understand, even if it’s a bizarre story.”
Leoria raised the corner of her mouth, let out a soft breath, and said, "Just now you asked me why I chose to trust you. In fact, I know you. I have known you for a long time. It's just that you don't know me."
"ah?"
"The clear sky of the well-known female idol group TNL, there are few people in the real world who don't know it?" Leoria smiled and looked at her, "I have heard your songs, and I often see your advertisements on the big screen in the square. , of course I know you. That day in the corridor of the hotel, I heard your companion call you Qingkong, and I immediately realized that it was you—after all, after entering the Brave Continent from the real world, you will retain your name in the real world, and It is a characteristic of the game Continent of the Brave that you can match game characters that match your personality traits, and after seeing your image, I am even more sure that it is you."
"Are you... my fan?" Qingkong blinked uncertainly.
Leoria smiled and turned her face away: "I'm not a groupie, but I like your songs, which are full of sincerity. I think only people with a good heart can sing such a beautiful tone. —This is the source of my self-awareness.”
Feeling a little embarrassed by his praise, Clear Sky unconsciously turned his eyes to the starry sky, and the conversation between Sorens and Leoria last night emerged in his mind—
[You really are a ruthless person, no matter in the game or outside the game. ] Leo Lia said so;
[We have never been friends, whether in the game or outside the game. ] And Sorens said so.
[So, do these two people know each other outside of the game? ]—Clear Sky finally noticed, so he asked—
"Leoria, did you and Sorens know each other in the real world?"
"Yes, we are colleagues."
"Ah?... Could it be that you are also a wandering hunter?!"
"That's right, he is Saurons who is ranked third on the hunter list, and I am Leoria who is ranked fifth on the hunter list." The man answered lightly.
