Returning from the abyss

Chapter 143 Blood Technique

After so many days, the forest near the mountain village has been visited by tourists.But the road that Lu Ning has traveled many times does not include the road to find Shen Xinyue.

This is a road that winds to another mountain range.

Due to the long distance, it will take several hours even if you hurry up. Neither tourists nor villagers are likely to go in that direction unless there are some clues.

In fact, there is a blank area of ​​clues over there-except for the Moon Lake Cave, which can be found after careful searching, there is nothing.

"So...she opened up a new area forcibly, right?" Ning Yeyi couldn't help being a little surprised.

"After all, theoretically speaking, the entire mountain range area is our range of activities, but compared to the places where we must go, the blank space is too big." Lu Ning took the map and opened a piece of grass, along an inaccessible road. The path continued, and it didn't take long to see traces of human activities.

"You don't know Shen Xinyue—actually, I don't know much about it either, but if she hasn't encountered anything that changed her personality too much, then it's easier to understand why Cheng Wuling asked her to come here."

"Huh? Tell me?"

"She is the kind of person who is so-called able to bend and stretch. She has the ability, knowledge and courage, but not enough to make her make a desperate fight. Once the situation is not good, she will choose to evacuate. No matter how much the loss is, as long as she guarantees herself If you are still alive, there is a possibility of a comeback. This is Shen Xinyue's philosophy of survival."

There are actually many such people, but Shen Xinyue can be regarded as the one who has done this most thoroughly.

"If she fails this promotion, she will definitely give up, try next time, next time, continue to accumulate experience of failure, and then catch up with an appropriate time to succeed. She is actually doing the safest thing, which We all have to admit it."

Ning Yeyi nodded.

"And now, she is doing what she wants, doing work here that is safe from danger, right?"

There was a soft sound underfoot.

The movements of the two were extremely fast, and they had already started to retreat the moment the sound came out. A large net covered with thorns swooped down obliquely from above, and at the same time, arrows were shot from the bushes on both sides.

"Hey! Shen Xinyue! It's us!"

Unable to avoid such a large-scale attack, Ning Yeyi stretched out his hand, and the vines used to weave the net instantly withered and tore. miss.

After that, the two of them noticed the sound of breathing behind them.

"Since it's a visit, say hello."

A somewhat hoarse voice came from behind, and Lu Ning couldn't help being startled by the unconcealable fatigue, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Xinyue.

She was haggard a lot, she already had thick dark circles on her face, and her cheekbones protruded a lot, but compared to Ning Yeyi's changes, it was still normal.

Somewhat surprising was her attire.

Western-style blue swordsman uniform with red velvet flowers on the neckline, studded skirt armor, silver hand armor and animal leather shoes for running in the mountains and forests. There are several laps on the thigh above the knee, and the straps are arranged Neat and compact rifle cartridges.

As for her hand, she is holding a silver-painted rifle with a slightly weird shape. At the same time, the gauntlet on her left hand is equipped with a shield-shaped metal like a double-edged axe.

Compared with everyone I've seen before, this kind of armament is more thorough.

"We came to find you according to the map given by Cheng Wuling." Lu Ning said.

"Ha... She, she dumped me a lot of trouble and then didn't come over by herself, it's really annoying." Shen Xinyue's tone was cold.

"It will be difficult for her to come here in a while, so let me come here to check on the situation of the back-hands left behind by you--Looking at your outfit, do you mean that you and Mo Xiren are in a group of cells?"

"That's right. But we searched the hunter's cabin and left. She took a few books and I took this equipment and some blood skills... So what? Did Qian Wanli and Su Shengge get caught by her? A plan to find death and die?"

"Qian Wanli is dead. Mo Xiren told me."

Shen Xinyue nodded, and there was no look of sadness or joy on her face. After thinking for a while, she asked again:

"Cheng Wuling said that the people who come next time will come with the solution to the curse. Have you found it?"

Lu Ning nodded.

It seems that Shen Xinyue is indeed living here with little information, knowing nothing about the progress of the mountain village and the hilltop castle.

"Then come with me."

Shen Xinyue turned around and swept away the grass to lead the way.

After walking for about ten minutes, they came to the Moon Lake cave in a mountain depression.

"This is my stronghold."

"Actually, I'm very strange..." Lu Ning walked in while chatting with Shen Xinyue, "At the beginning, you said the importance of information, and also emphasized that obtaining information equals gaining an advantage, but why did you agree to Cheng now? Where is Wu Ling coming here?"

"Because I know that some things are better than not knowing."

Shen Xinyue said something like a tongue twister.

"In a confrontational scene, it's okay to check each other's information, because the initial conditions of the tourists are all equal, and it's impossible to use some method to kill them instantly after being checked. But when facing the monsters in the scene, you have to weigh it—what? Information cannot be traded with one’s life.”

"You seem to be more cautious?"

"I'll do my best, but it's fine if I try my best. I'm not a lunatic like Mo Xiren who takes risks." Shen Xinyue gave Lu Ning a vicious look, "And you, I don't care how big things you guys do. , as long as you don’t drag me into a deadlock.”

There was already light in front of her eyes, and Lu Ning quickly discovered that the Moon Lake in this cave was so small that it was even hard to say that it was a lake, just like a bubble.

"It's... so small here." Ning Yeyi sighed.

"Xiaocai, not many murlocs pay attention to this side. But it's better not to get too close."

Shen Xinyue walked along the shore until she came to a shell house that could not even be illuminated by the light in the cave.

It is already full of containers made of wood and bamboo, some of the semi-finished products are still placed on a smooth stone slab, and the completed ones are placed on a simple shelf inside.

"Is this a catalyst?"

Lu Ning immediately recognized the contents of those containers.Shen Xinyue couldn't help laughing smugly at this time.

"Although it took a lot of time, I have already been able to make several catalysts. Once the blood technique has a formed formula, it is not too difficult."

"Is this what you need?" Ning Yeyi picked up a jar and frowned before getting close.

"Blood and catalyst, that's what we need. In fact, you should be able to use them too." After obtaining Shen Xinyue's consent, Lu Ning took a little powder and tried the weapon. It was green powder, and it corresponded to her crossbow. A phantom green fire ignited.

"The blood technique system is not particularly complete. From the information I have obtained, it only includes three categories: enhancement, consumption and spells. Hunters probably think this is enough... You are a corrosive fire, and you will use blood as fuel to continue burning. , It’s a very evil thing.” Shen Xinyue found a clean place to sit down, and pointed to the shelf, “The amount of catalysts here is enough to arm a 50-person blood surgery team, all of which are general-purpose blood skills, and Ning Yeyi, you There is no need to smell it, the blood technique is studied as an anti-system of the divine technique, if you know the divine technique, it is natural that you will feel uncomfortable about it."

"Is that so..."

Ning Yeyi put the catalyst back on the shelf and smiled wryly.

"But we're short of people."

Shen Xinyue turned her eyes to Lu Ning again, she stretched out her hand, and slightly bent her fingers.

"This is not a problem that I need to be responsible for. Now give me the things needed to break the curse, and you can install all these catalysts."

"Are you really not going to fight?"

"I still know Cheng Wuling's bad habit. She is going to maximize her benefits, but I can't keep up. Did we make an agreement in our previous combat meeting? I want to withdraw...free withdrawal." Shen Xinyue seemed a little uncomfortable Patiently, "I have long been aware of the danger this time. Since you think that the opportunity is your own business, don't drag me to die."

Lu Ning was silent for a moment, took out the ritual props from her bag, and threw them into Shen Xinyue's arms.

"So, it's done, right?"

"Hmph, I wish you success." Shen Xinyue gripped the props tightly, "Let's talk about the usage."

It took 10 minutes to explain how to use it. After installing the catalysts, Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi left the Moon Lake cave with a net bag woven from tree vines.Shen Xinyue didn't come out to see him off in the end, probably thinking that she would never see her again, she didn't even bother to say goodbye.

After having so many catalysts, Lu Ning was no longer so stingy, and went to a place where the forest was slightly open, applied the strengthening ointment, and started to run, the speed was more than three times faster than before.And Ning Yeyi can also jump forward on the branches with his increasingly powerful physical fitness, and can also keep up with Lu Ning's speed.

Before dark, they rushed back to the hunter's hut.

At this time, the castle on the top of the mountain has appeared again, but today there is no way to go up anyway, Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi have to go to the mountain village to rob the prison again-in other words, this daily routine seems to have become a big fuss How are tourists used to it?

This time it seems to be slightly different.

Lu Ning was not the only one who challenged to upgrade. Even counting the losses before, there were still hundreds of tourists who fled outside. Still, like Ning Yeyi, there are always those who dare to challenge themselves to challenge the murlocs.

The village was once again set on fire, but this time it was not a random secret rescue, but a formal declaration of war.

The first villager to go out to check the situation was shot through the neck by a sharp arrow.
