"...? I remembered it wrong. I didn't eat this before...?" Kerian said blankly.
Li Xin rolled her eyes towards him, turned her head and walked forward quickly.
"Hey, Jiuqi? You...!"
Baisha Island, as the name suggests, the beach here is a grayish-white color, and the sands are all small particles like salt. Every now and then there were several conch shells of various colors lying in the middle of the sand, but none of them were as beautiful as the first one.
Apart from the sporadic coconut trees, there are no other plants on the beach.
Li Xin walked straight towards the jungle inside the island.
First the grass, then the tangled low bushes, and then into the jungle.
The woods here are very dense, perhaps due to the abundance of water and light and heat, trees, vines, and shrubs grow very luxuriantly.
Li Xin had to swing the axe into a circular shape and chop down a passageway inside.
Corian stood a few steps later, staring in awe at her two slender arms that easily swung the two-meter axe.
"when-"
A dagger flew out, the leaves of the low tree ahead shook, and a green snake fell.
"Players kill [Green Snake], gain experience +100, copper coins +1."
"Oh... I really don't like it here." Corian let out a toothache-like sigh.
The forest is mostly filled with ordinary monsters like snakes, worms, rats, ants, or rabbits and jackals. Occasionally, there is a 30-level elite monster, the leopard. The process of passing through is quite easy.
Li Xin took Kerian behind him and walked straight across the other side of the jungle. By the time dawn was approaching, the two had already walked halfway through.
"Take a rest." Li Xin glanced at Kerian, who was panting hard.
The two sat down on the edge of a small spring and cut out two tree stumps. Kerian built a fire, and Li Xin lowered his head and cut a rabbit's skin and skewered it on a branch.
Corian was sitting on the other side of the fire, his face was not very good, and the smell of blood made him very uncomfortable.
After washing the rabbit and brushing it with sauce, Li Xin quietly supported her chin and looked at the fire and waited.
Even though the distant coastline already has a faint gleam of fish maw, but for now, the world still belongs to the night. In the woods, there was the sound of thin insects, and some small eyes hid behind the bushes to peep at everything around.
"Am I very useless?" The blond boy across from him lowered his head and suddenly said such a sentence.
Li Xin raised her eyes and glanced at him, then picked up the brush to add a layer of oil to the rabbit on the fire.
"It's not because I'm timid that I'm afraid." After a while, the boy continued in a muffled voice, "I'm just afraid."
It was quiet in the woods, and the people on the other side didn't speak. This may have given Corian some courage, or desire, to speak out.
"You know, Jiuqi, I wasn't originally from Guhu Town, and neither was my father. They thought I forgot, but in fact I still remember."
"I was very young and my father took me hunting in the woods."
"He looks a lot like me. He's handsome, he's tall, he laughs a lot and likes to lift me up."
At this point, the voice of the narration stopped for a long time.
"...On a hunting trip." Finally, the voice continued again. "Suddenly a lot of people appeared and attacked him. He ran with me, and we kept running in the woods."
"I remember that the sky was full of silver light. We ran in the silver light. We ran for a long time."
"Then he put me in a tree hole, looked at me, and asked me to wait for him to come back... I can't remember what he looked like, only vaguely remember that he is very similar to me."
"He never came back."
"I stayed in that tree hole all night and fell asleep. When I woke up and found that he hadn't come back, I went out to find him."
"For the first time, it was the first time I found out how scary the woods I usually hunt - any rabbit can bite through my arm, there are malicious eyes everywhere... I'm nothing without him ."
"If it wasn't for Ms. Regus, I'd probably have died in that forest."
"She—that's Marianne's mother. Brought me back to the oracle. When I was eight, she sent me to Lone Fox to go to school."
"I'm not afraid, I'm actually quite courageous in a sense... I'm just disgusted... well, maybe afraid." Corian muttered, his blue eyes staring at the firelight, reddening slightly.
Li Xin raised her hand and took the rabbit off the fire. This action seemed to startle the young man suddenly, he stepped back suddenly, raised his eyes and looked at Li Xin in panic.
Li Xin blinked, looked at him for a moment, separated the stick in his hand from the rabbit, and handed him half: "Do you want to eat?"
"..." Kerian hesitated for a moment and took it.
So the next scene after this true love is revealed is... The two are sitting opposite each other, burying their heads and eating hard.
After half of the rabbit had finished eating, he drank some water and groomed for a while, and the sky was bright.
Li Xin got up and said, "Go, go back to the city after this island."
"Yeah." Corian nodded.
The two continued to walk deeper into the island.
This island is high and four low, and there is a high hill in the middle of the island.
Li Xin and Corian were climbing up this hill.
The higher you go, especially after the middle section, the dense forest suddenly becomes denser and goes up a step.
Kerian's face was pale, he crouched on the ground and frowned, clutching the long sword in his hand tightly, looking around in confusion from time to time.
Not far away, Li Xin was fighting with two leopards with a giant axe.
"Ah!" With a short scream, Kerian took a few steps away, only to find that it was just an ordinary leaf.
He was suddenly relieved at first, then angry. He lifted the sword and smashed the whole tree with force, and then chopped the stump into pieces, only then did Corian stop panting and shoveling the sword.
"Corian?"
He turned around in a panic, and saw a blond girl standing not far away with arms folded, watching him quietly.
"Huh?... Hmm." Nodding casually, Kerian raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile.
"Go." Li Xin said.
The two walked to the top of the mountain.
Corian's footsteps are getting slower and slower.
"What's wrong?" Li Xin simply stopped, turned to look at him and asked.
"Jiuqi, do you think..." Kerian hesitated, looking around suddenly: "This forest... seems to be silver?"
Li Xin tilted her head to look at the lush green trees around, and then looked at Kerian, but did not answer.
The jungle shuddered, Li Xin's expression froze, she turned around and raised her axe.
A black figure rushed forward as quickly as lightning.
[White Sand Island Black Panther] (Elite Monster) (Level: 40)
Li Xin's eyes were fixed on the golden-eyed black panther with fangs on the opposite side, which was undoubtedly a "big monster" similar to the elite monster level of the map in the middle of the Phyllis Forest.
It stands to reason that in a picture like Baisha Island, non-bosses should not have this level of monsters.
"Back off." She glanced behind her and said loudly.
Kerian suddenly came back to his senses, and ran back with a sense of interest.
The black panther immediately seized the opportunity and rushed forward, his sturdy claws slashed heavily from Li Xin's shoulder.
"—500"
The figures of one person and one leopard staggered in an instant. Li Xin jumped away and called out in a low voice, "Dai!" with the same expression, hid behind the huge cow who appeared in response, and began to sing a spell.
The big-eyed green ox, who hadn't come out to let the wind out for a long time, was very excited to see the sun, and with a long "moo", it stretched out its hooves and stepped on the black panther.
"Roar—" The natural suppression of elite monsters by boss-level monsters is always inextricable. Even if Dumb is less than level 20, Black Panther still has a huge sense of threat as soon as he shows up.
The black panther was kicked by the cow's hoof and turned back with two claws, but it failed to cause much damage to Ah'Dai's tough cowhide.
Li Xin's skills were quickly recited.
[Jin Yan]!
With the roar of the black panther, the smoke filled the sky.
Ah'Dai stood in the middle of the flying debris with his head held high, snorted and sneezed.
The only human-friendly skill in the game of Miracle is probably that there is a manually added teammate to avoid injury and lock the floating key. However, even in the later stages of the game, there will still be one or two gods who forget to lock in the group attack during pushbooks and team battles.
The so-called "hard work for one or two years, one move will be deducted before liberation"...
Black Panther's golden vertical pupils squinted, gave Li Xin a grim look, took a few steps back, and used the cover of smoke to avoid Ah'Dai and suddenly rushed towards Li Xin who was behind him, obviously knowing that he was going to be picky.
Li Xin reacted very quickly and threw a ball of fire, pushing the black panther's sharp claws back a little while going around to the other side of Ah Dai.
"Moo!" Ah'Dai was obviously very angry when the black panther attacked the person he was protecting. It screamed angrily, pulled its hoofs and slammed its huge body towards the black panther.
[collision]! [horns]!
The controlled black panther could not move, and could only let the sharp horns penetrate his soft belly, and the blood swam away in an instant.
Li Xin added a wind blade in a timely manner, and the black panther let out a painful low cry of beating to death, and lay on the ground motionless.
"Players kill the elite monster [White Sand Island Black Panther] to gain experience +1000 and copper coins +10."
"The player has successfully reached level 20."
She casually put the black panther's body and the two explosive green suits into her backpack, Li Xin stroked Ah Dai's sagging brain, and fed him a dozen small white pills before coaxing the cow back.
The surrounding woods were devastated by this movement—especially the fat man, Ah Dai, who was like a mountain. The blue sky was finally exposed, and the sun was shining all over the ground.
"Kerian?" Li Xin said loudly.
The surroundings were silent and there was no response.
Li Xin frowned slightly, raised her voice a little and shouted again.
"...This way." After a while, a vague response came.
The direction of the sound is from the top of the mountain.
Li Xin stepped up and hurried away.
After leaving the fighting area, the woods were densely woven back all of a sudden, so dense that even a ray of sky light above the head could not be exposed.
Li Xin swung his axe to split his way through the crowded branches and leaves in the dark, and after dozens of minutes, a faint light began to show in front of him.
Li Xin accelerated her speed and hurried a few steps before her eyes suddenly became brighter.
She raised her head, her blue eyes reflecting the huge towering and magnificent building in front of her.
It looks like it's been around for many years.
