Looking at the handsome and gentle Xia Ruize with a smile on his face, Cheng Huaiqian suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms vigorously, hugging him tightly.
In the past, no matter whether it was a tester or an aborigine, Cheng Huaiqian could watch them go to death or even give them a hand without any psychological barriers. On the surface, he was more tenacious than his own vitality, but seeing him suffer such a serious injury and being knocked out, Cheng Huaiqian was still insane in an instant, and his heart was like a knife.
If possible, Cheng Huaiqian really wanted to send Xia Ruize away from the endless world, so that his sweetheart would not suffer endless dangers. Even if the price is that he bears double the danger, he will not hesitate.
It's a pity that even he himself is new to the endless world, and he hasn't fully figured out the rules here, and he doesn't know if there is a way to escape.
Xia Ruize didn't struggle, but obediently reached out and hugged Cheng Huaiqian. When he was injured, he truly felt that life was too fragile, and many entanglements and troubles were not so important before life and death.
However, no matter how emotional Xia Ruize is, he still has to say that the protective armor in the middle is really annoying. Seeing that Cheng Huaiqian has been refusing to let go, Xia Ruize finally had no choice but to push his teammates, reminding: "It's time to go!"
On the next journey, when encountering wilderness animals attacking, Cheng Huaiqian's fighting power broke out, and he took the main attack position strongly, and tried his best not to let Xia Ruize take risks during the battle.
Xia Ruize's [Superman Xiaoqiang] bloodline also has a skill to create a substitute Xiaoqiang to help a specific person take damage. At present, up to three people can make substitute Xiaoqiang at the same time.
Xia Ruize wakes up every day recently and gathers two energy doubles Xiaoqiang, and then part of the damage he and Cheng Huaiqian suffer will be passed on to the energy double Xiaoqiang.
The energy double Xiaoqiang in the past few days dissipated naturally, but today, the double Xiaoqiang of the two exploded one after another, Xia Ruize could only make new Xiaoqiang doubles to supplement, and then he watched the Xiaoqiang Xiaoqiang representing Cheng Huaiqian keep dying. Can be continuously replenished.
Anxious in his heart, Xia Ruize's attack couldn't help but become sharper, and he forcibly shared the pressure of the battle with his teammates. The two had been in a state of explosive combat power, which made the journey a little smoother.
Fighting all the way from noon until late at night, on the last day of staying in this mission world, the two decided to continue walking overnight, only taking a short rest after each battle to recover their energy.
At nine o'clock the next morning, the sky was bright again, and Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian suddenly found that the land not far in front of them had turned dark black.
The two hurried forward and finally ran to the deep black land area. Looking around, the ground in front of them was slightly sunken, so the two standing on the edge of the black land area could see a scene far away.
I saw that the entire dark black land area was in the shape of a circle, and in the very center of the circle, that is, the center of the depression in the terrain, there was a huge white beam of light reaching the sky, and around the beam of light, the surrounding wild animals were all tens of meters, A body several hundred meters high.
The two did not approach rashly. According to the proportion, the shortest giant python among them is probably tens of meters in height. More than 20 super super super large wild animals gathered together. The two of them looked like two small bugs, I am afraid that if you approach rashly, you will die.
After discussing for a while, the two realized that this mission world should be a huge concentric circle, the outermost pale yellow land area is the largest, and the wilderness animals in it are the weakest.
Followed by the light brown land area, the strength of wild animals has been strengthened, and the newcomers stop here. The inner side is a dark brown land area, in which the strength of wild animals is already somewhat terrifying.
Then came the crimson land area, where the strength of wild animals was difficult for Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian to deal with, so Gao Hexuan stopped here.
In the end, after a day and night of arduous fighting and trekking, what appeared before their eyes was this relatively small area of dark black land with the most terrifying strength of wild animals.
"They all surround the beam of light. Could it be that the beam of light can make the animals in the wilderness bigger?"
Cheng Huaiqian looked at the sky-reaching beam of light in the distance and the wild animals crowded around the beam, touched his chin, and made a bold guess.
The situation in the dark black land area is basically within the line of sight. There are more than 20 wild animals in total, which can be seen at a glance. At this time, they are all surrounded by the beam of light, concentrating on what they are doing, so that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did not meet in this area. to other threats.
"Should we try to get closer. If we are found, we will run away. According to the experience of newcomers, our mission is almost over. If we can't solve it, we can escape directly to the endless world."
Xia Ruize observed for a moment, then suggested.
This proposal made Cheng Huaiqian look at Xia Ruize with a smile, and patted his head with satisfaction. His teammates are improving really fast. When they were newbies in the world, they still had to be dragged by him to take risks. Now they have the consciousness of taking the initiative to take risks.
Since there is no way out of the endless world in a short time, then find a way to help Xia Ruize better adapt to the rules of the endless world.
The two hit it off immediately, and cautiously continued to go deep into the black land, approaching the beam of light in the middle.
After advancing for a long distance, the two found that the terrifying wild animals around the beam of light were indifferent to their actions, and they all kept facing the direction of the beam of light, lying motionless and lying on their stomachs. Only the occasional slight trembling of the ears shows that they are not really unaware.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian became more courageous, and their speed began to accelerate.
Then they gradually realized that the surrounding environment was a little different, the air they breathed was extremely fresh, and every breath seemed to be able to wash out the impurities in the lungs.
At the same time, the whole body felt warm and comfortable, and the naked face felt the most obvious. The two simply took off the protective armor. Sure enough, the bodies that came into contact with the air felt extremely comfortable, and there seemed to be free gentleness in the air. Energy went into them.
After walking a long distance again, the two suddenly received a reminder that the task was completed:
[main mission:
1. Survive for five days. Task Status: Done
2. Protect ten novices to complete their main task. Task Status: Done
Mission Rating: Perfect
Mission reward: reward 1,950 survival points; reward 2 free attribute points (extra reward for perfect mission evaluation)]
Of course, only 500 survival points and 1 free attribute point are newly issued among the rewards for completing the main task, and the rest are calculated together with the main task 2 completed earlier.
The main task is just an appetizer, what really surprises the two is the completion prompt of the extended task:
[Hidden Extended Mission: Kill 10,000 Wilderness Animals
Task Status: Done
Mission Rating: Perfect
mission rewards:
Reward 5,000 survival points (500 survival points for killing 100 wilderness animals, 1,500 survival points for killing 1,000 wilderness animals, 3,000 survival points for killing 10,000 wilderness animals, and 5,000 survival points for combining ).
Reward all attributes +3 (perfect task evaluation additional reward)]
Sure enough, compared to the mainline quests, the extended quests are the most rewarding. Whether it is survival points or attribute points, the rewards for more difficult extended quests are more generous, which fully reflects the meaning of greater risk and greater rewards.
What's more, this is not the end, and there is a prompt to complete the extended task:
[Hidden extended task: Explore the black core area
Task Status: Done
Task evaluation: excellent
mission rewards:
Reward 3,000 survival points (1,000 survival points for exploring the crimson sub-core area; 2,000 survival points for exploring the black core area, and 3,000 survival points for merging).
Reward three fruits of sixteen colors each.
Special reminder: You can request to leave the mission world at any time]
This extended task completion prompt confirmed Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian's guess that the core area of this task world hides a huge secret, which makes the wilderness animals that are closer to the core area more terrifying in size and strength. Also let them step into the black earth area to complete the hidden extension task.
The evaluation of this hidden extended task is "excellent" rather than "perfect", probably because Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did not thoroughly explore the entire black core area before the end of the task time.
But this does not affect the good mood of the two. On the contrary, the last special reminder of the hidden mission implies that the two can continue to stay in this world.
Under what circumstances will the task prompt suggest that the tester can continue to stay
According to Xia Ruize's experience in the second mission world, when it is profitable to continue to stay, the Lord God will generously relax the restrictions and give the tester enough time to collect the spoils.
"Haha, very good, with the guarantee that we can leave at any time, we can safely and boldly continue to approach the beam of light."
Cheng Huaiqian immediately understood the meaning of putting the special reminder in the hidden mission instead of the main mission. In fact, it was hinting to them that they can continue to stay in the black core area of this mission world and enjoy the unknown but definitely beneficial effects brought to them by this area. .
Xia Ruize followed suit and looked curiously at the central beam of light, thinking that was where the real secret lay.
Cheng Huaiqian didn't know what to think of, and his smile became more and more malicious.
Cheng Huaiqian turned to Xia Ruize to stop him. Under Xia Ruize's puzzled eyes, Cheng Huaiqian put his slender fingers on the buttons of the desert camouflage jacket, and unbuttoned them one by one, revealing his generous and solid chest and seductive lips. The mermaid line of her abdominal muscles made Xia Ruize's face turn red.
Xia Ruize actually wanted to look away, but he didn't focus on exercising for a long time, and he hadn't been able to train his chest, shoulders, back and legs. Compared with Cheng Huaiqian's round and firm muscles, he was much worse. Seeing what it means to look skinny when dressed and undressed, he couldn't look away for a while.
Although they were both resting in the same tent recently, both of them were wearing pajamas. It was the first time that their teammates were so bold and unrestrained in broad daylight...
"Why, why, what's going on?"
It wasn't until Cheng Huaiqian unbuttoned the belt of his camouflage pants with a smile at the corner of his mouth that Xia Ruize finally regained his senses, quickly looked away, and asked stammeringly.
"We should learn from experienced natives. Nuo, look at those wild animals, aren't they all like this? It means that it is easier to absorb the energy in the air."
Cheng Huaiqian replied confidently, and finally even took off his boots, stepping barefoot on the black sand.
I saw him feel it quietly for a moment, and sincerely suggested: "Yes, I feel more comfortable than wearing clothes, you should try it too."
Xia Ruize felt that his cheeks were going to burn, while Cheng Huaiqian stood there, admiring the shyness of his teammates, and coaxed:
"Just think we're going to the beach to swim. Everyone on the beach is only wearing swimming trunks. Don't be nervous. Come and try it. I'll never lie to you."
Cheng Huaiqian was right in saying one sentence, he never lied to him.
Xia Ruize felt that he must have been bewitched, and even felt that his teammate's proposal was reasonable, but facing Cheng Huaiqian with a smirk on his face was still inexplicably shy and uneasy. In the end, Xia Ruize simply turned his back to Cheng Huaiqian, and unbuttoned his jacket .
Xia Ruize didn't use the space to look back, of course he couldn't see it, Cheng Huaiqian's eyes were fixed on him behind him, as if there was fire in his eyes.
Xia Ruize's skin is at least two degrees whiter than Cheng Huaiqian's. Although he doesn't exercise often, his physical fitness has improved rapidly in recent months, making his muscles firm and compact, which is pleasing to the eye.
After taking off his shirt, Xia Ruize calmly felt it. Indeed, the skin is in direct contact with the air, and he can feel the warm energy in the air enter the body more easily.
Cruel-hearted, Xia Ruize also took off his outer pants and boots, then turned around Huaiqian and walked forward on his own.
Although he didn't look back, he seemed to be able to feel the eyes of his teammates that were hotter than the air, which made people extremely embarrassing.
"Hahaha… "
Cheng Huaiqian's hearty laughter flowed behind him. Of course, before Xia Ruize was completely annoyed, Cheng Huaiqian restrained himself in time, stepped forward quickly, took Xia Ruize's hand and led him towards the beam of light.
The closer they are to the beam of light, the more they can feel the difference around them. The energy that makes people feel warm and comfortable is getting thicker and thicker, so thick that the air becomes sticky, and people seem to be walking in the flowing energy.
Then Xia Ruize found that his skin began to ooze fine black particles, although it would fall off with a pat, but as he walked forward, there were still more and more black particles on his body, which made him a little troubled.
"I also have it on my body. This is probably the essence and marrow in martial arts novels, to expel body impurities?"
Cheng Huaiqian slapped his chest with his palm, shaking off all the black particles on his body, and guessed jokingly.
Xia Ruize remembered that there was a pink fruit in the treasure chest opened by killing wild animals, which was used to expel body impurities. It was a little inexplicable at the time, but now it suddenly dawned on him. Put it in your mouth and ate it.
Sure enough, the number of black particles on the body suddenly increased, and the two of them almost shook off while approaching the beam of light.
The twenty or so behemoths around the beam of light have already noticed the two tiny humans, but they ignored them, still staring intently at the beam of light in the middle.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian finally got close to these wild animals, looking up at them like skyscrapers. To these wild animals, the two of them are probably two small bugs, nothing to worry about at all.
Wilderness animals are very close to each other, but this "closeness" is for them. For Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, there is still enough space between them to pass through.
After observing the outside for a long time, and found that the wild animals did not respond, the two boldly walked inward.
Now they are no more than a hundred meters away from the middle beam of light, and they clearly feel that the surroundings are filled with gentle energy, so thick that the air is like a hot spring, and they are soaked in it from top to bottom.
The two clearly realized that after soaking in the energy of the beam of light for half a day, their bodies became much more relaxed. Although their physical attributes have not improved, they just feel different.
For example, Xia Ruize's strength attribute value is as high as 46. If he was able to exert 50% of the effect before, he now feels that his mastery of the body has deepened, and he can exert 70% of the effect.
Cheng Huai's power attribute value has reached 53. He could display 70% of his power before, but now he feels that his control over his power has increased to 80%.
This is a remarkable improvement. After all, the physical attributes of the two are improving too fast. Even though they have invested a lot of survival points to improve their mastery of the body through the practice of auxiliary functions, some things cannot be achieved overnight.
Excluding the time in the real world, they only stayed in the endless world for more than ten days, but during these ten days, their physical fitness has increased by forty or fifty times, far exceeding what they can digest as quickly as possible. The limit of control.
But now, wrapped in this inexplicable gentle energy, the two of them feel that their bodies are being purified rapidly, and the impurities produced during this period of time due to too fast promotion are excreted from the body, making the body more pure and condensed, and making the body more clean. The soul and the body are more compatible, and the degree of control over the body is rapidly increasing.
The two who have tasted the benefits naturally want more. Since the closer they are to the beam of light, the more energy they have, they will naturally want to go to the place closest to the beam of light.
Cheng Huaiqian pulled Xia Ruize all the way through the tall wild animals, and came to the beam of light. Cheng Huaiqian cautiously tried to reach out to touch the beam of light, but suddenly there was a cry of "Aww!"
The two of them raised their vigilance immediately, and when they looked up, the cheetah on the left, which was a hundred meters high, opened its huge closed eyes and was staring coldly at Cheng Huaiqian, expressing dissatisfaction with his attempt to touch the beam of light.
Cheng Huaiqian had no choice but to withdraw his hand, and honestly stopped being a monster. The cheetah didn't say anything more, and closed its eyes to continue enjoying the energy of the beam of light.
Xia Ruize looked at his teammates with a smile in his eyes, Cheng Huaiqian unceremoniously reached out and pinched Xia Ruize's nose.
After playing around, the two gradually relaxed, because they found that the surrounding wild animals didn't care about them at all, and they were all absorbed in absorbing the energy released by the beam of light.
After discussing in low voices, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize simply lay down with their heads on their heads at the place closest to the beam of light.
Not only that, but the two also released their pets.
System creations have no special reaction to this kind of energy, but their pets are alive and can absorb this kind of energy. When they come out, they are so happy that they are dizzy and lie down next to them for a while, as if they are about to pass out. land.
The two of them and their six pets together didn't even need the space occupied by one of the cheetah's paws. The cheetah on the left and the elk on the right didn't have any special reaction other than glaring at them.
In the face of the energy of the beam of light, everyone put aside their disputes and coexisted peacefully.
Xia Ruize stared at the beam of light for a while, and suddenly remembered that there was a talent called natural protection in his blood of the brilliant elves.
The introduction of the talent is that when he is in the natural environment, he can slowly absorb the free life energy around him, and slowly recover his physical strength and injuries. In times of crisis, life energy can also be quickly extracted for quick recovery from injuries.
This talent is often forgotten, because Xia Ruize's [Superman Xiaoqiang] bloodline's quick recovery effect from injuries and the warming recovery effect produced by "Withered Wood Spring" exercises are stronger than the "slow" effect of this talent, which seems to be a natural shelter talent. Not obvious.
But now that Xia Ruize stared at the beam of light, he suddenly remembered this neglected talent.
If this beam of light is considered as free energy in the natural environment, can he quickly extract it
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and couldn't hold it anymore, Xia Ruize gently squeezed Cheng Huaiqian's hand next to him, and winked when his teammates looked over.
Cheng Huaiqian immediately understood that his teammates had new plans. Although the details were unclear, Cheng Huaiqian was instantly vigilant and ready to cooperate at any time.
After reminding his teammates, Xia Ruize took the initiative to activate the talent of natural protection. Soon, Xia Ruize felt that a small bridge had been built between him and the beam of light that was close to him but had no contact with it. A more intense and purer The energy enters his body directly from the beam of light along this small bridge.
The speed at which Xia Ruize absorbs energy has instantly increased by at least ten times compared to before!
After all, before, the body was only subconsciously absorbing the energy emitted by the beam of light, but now he is actively absorbing energy directly from the beam of light. The concept is completely different.
Cheng Huaiqian's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Xia Ruize, and looked over with surprise in his eyes. Although Cheng Huaiqian didn't know what happened, he still laughed because Xia Ruize was happy.
Xia Ruize, however, withdrew his smile, turned his head cautiously, and found that the surrounding giant wilderness animals had no abnormal reactions. Realizing that his target was too small, he secretly built a small bridge from the beam of light to absorb more energy. Wilderness animals can perceive it.
But Xia Ruize himself knew that there were still some abnormalities, for example, the energy absorbed by him actively, because his body couldn't bear it, a small part of it overflowed around his body.
Looking back through space, Xia Ruize saw the obviously dense energy around him, and then looked at his teammates smiling gently at him. He gritted his teeth, moved his position, lay down on Cheng Huaiqian's back, and then reached out to hug him.
Cheng Huaiqian was stunned by Xia Ruize's sudden movement, and then he was ecstatic, and immediately wanted to turn around and hug him back, but Xia Ruize first reached out and bound Cheng Huaiqian's arm, half pressing on him, firmly pressing Cheng Huaiqian to prevent him from turning around .
A series of deep and gentle laughter overflowed from Cheng Huaiqian's mouth. He had already sensed the abnormal energy around Xia Ruize, but he pretended not to know it and joked:
"It turns out that you are an activist, but it's better for me to confess first. Let's date, okay?"
