The Brave Girl and the Great Demon King

Chapter 20 028: No plan and the danger of the boundary river
This night's conversation did not leave a deep impression on Alicia's mind. The sky was still bright, the sun was still rising, and it was still normal to get up, rubbing his eyes in a daze, and suddenly woke up. Continue on the road to Jiehe.

Ash had clearly made up his mind, and looked much more energetic. He boiled water in a small iron pot and asked, "What's the plan? Which route do you want to take?"

"Plan?" Alicia thought about it suspiciously, and decided to say, "Go straight, the fastest."

"Hey, hello, can this work?" Ash asked suspiciously. It is obviously different from Alicia's intuitive action style. Ash, who was trained as the next generation of gangsters, prefers to make a complete plan before putting it into action. action.

"The boundary river is dangerous." Alicia said seriously.

Ash wondered for a moment, intending to refute, but thought that they did not prepare a boundary river map, and they were not mercenaries who walked there all year round. All the rumors about the boundary river were hearsay, and it was impossible to compare which area was more dangerous. So from a certain point of view, there is nothing wrong with Alicia's statement.

"Forget it, food and water can only go in, so all that's left now is the direction problem, we didn't carry the guide card." Ash continued.

"There are not enough materials for production. I can only make a few one-time instruction cards." Alicia flipped through her backpack and said with clenched fists, "Then there is no problem, let's go."

"Now that you've said that, there's probably no problem." Ash said uncertainly.

After formulating such a rough plan that could almost be considered non-existent, these people embarked on the escape journey again, and after a whole day's journey, they finally reached the edge of this world.

On the edge of this entire continent, it suddenly reached the end neatly like a knife. The smooth cliffs are as smooth as a mirror, and there is a vast forest below, covered with thick gray fog, and occasionally there will be streams of light of various colors passing by. , where there is nothing wrong with it, and there is no grass left, and then it will be covered by brand new plants soon.

This is the Boundary River, which has been hailed as the most dangerous place for thousands of years. What flows in it is not the river, but the irregular flow of time and space. It is also the place of the greatest treasure, containing unprecedented richness and preciousness. Resources, so that all daring adventurers rush to join it, and will never regret it until they die.

"There is no way to stay in such a place, do you want to find a way down?" Ash looked down, and he didn't know what force caused such a large-scale fracture, making all the faults appear crystallized The hardness and smoothness of the cliff seems to be cut with a single knife at an unimaginably high temperature. Such a cliff cannot be attached to any force, so it can only be slowly and difficultly opened up by manpower. Small regular holes for people to settle down , is called the road by those who often come and go in and out of the boundary river.

"Jump down." Alicia said, and she also followed the probe, feeling that such a height is not too difficult for them who have a flight card.

"Isn't it?" Ash was taken aback by this bold suggestion, "The sky above the Boundary River is surrounded by fog, and you can't see the bottom. If you jump off and fall into the turbulent flow of time and space, hundreds of lives will not be enough!"

Alicia pointed to a tiny gap like a thin thread in the mist, and said, "No. The turbulent currents will collide with each other and merge. I just experienced it once here, and it is safe for the time being."

As she said that, Alicia took the lead and jumped down, squinting her eyes to feel the strong wind blowing up from below, the forest of colorless colors continued to expand and approach in her sight, and then faintly revealed a ferocious face in the thick fog, wriggling The poisonous flowers and plants blooming in full bloom, the lurking monsters foraging for food, and the messy traces left by the turbulent current that just passed by, this dangerous place is gradually revealing its cruel and dangerous true colors.

Alicia didn't feel the slightest fear, but instead had a vaguely familiar feeling, as if she had experienced it many times, and she knew what to do without thinking about it.

That feeling was so strong that Alicia felt sincerely happy, and suddenly she exuded all her breath unreservedly, and that strong dark magic power poured over the area like a flowing water, shocking and trembling all the plant monsters. , bowed his head and body in submission, without any resistance.

And people who felt this dark magic power from far and near all wondered in panic, could it be that high-level demons chased after such a powerful magic power?

With such surging magic power, Alicia can easily slow down the huge falling force without even activating the flight card, and safely land on the ground. With a stretch of her hand, she just catches the two people who stumbled and flew over.

"Big sister, you are so handsome!" Heizi said with a thumbs up.

Ash, on the other hand, had some doubts, and asked mutteringly: "Could it be some high-level demon pretending to be, can human beings really be so powerful?"

"Probably human." Alicia herself couldn't be sure.

Regardless of the process, in short, they entered the boundary river safely and completed the first step of escape.

The scenery of the boundary river here is very different from that of the world above. There is a mist all year round, and it is difficult to have sunny days. The animals and plants growing in such a place seem to be contaminated by the haze of the mist, no matter what kind of bright. Colors often make people feel that they lack a kind of brightness and clarity, and are filled with a strong gloomy and depressing atmosphere.

Alicia found a kind of grass with two tender leaves under the tree, and taught them to crush and squeeze out the grass juice, saying: "Grey leaf grass can detoxify miasma toxins, it is best to eat it every two or three days." .”

"How do you know?" Ash asked curiously.

"Probably came here." Alicia replied uncertainly. She didn't know the reason herself. Those answers seemed to be hidden in her head, but she couldn't recall them exactly. She could only wait until she saw the real thing. , it suddenly occurred to her that she knew such a thing.

"This kind of comparison is really frustrating." Ash rubbed the blade of grass and said dejectedly.

For Ash's frustrated words, Alicia threw the holy sword over, brushed her fingertips and flew by, and nailed it viciously to the tree behind him. With a deep roar, it took a long time for the branches to hang down feebly, and the sticky red juice flowed out quietly.

"It's the same color as blood." Heizi was startled and muttered quietly.

Alicia came over to pick up the holy sword, rubbed the sap on the tree trunk, and said in a normal tone: "It's blood, it's the blood of the prey he ate. This is a man-eating tree. I don't know what it's called. There are a lot of them in the boundary river, and under him will grow bushes similar to gray leaf grass, which are specially used to catch food. The color of the leaves here will be a little darker, so you need to look carefully. If there is nothing wrong, it is best not to touch anything. Here The plants are as ferocious as monsters, and the flat ground may not be safe."

Looking at the fierce big tree that fell down suddenly and opened its mouth to eat a few mouthfuls of mud, and the weeds that were no different from gray leaf grass in his hands, Ash slowly changed his expression, which had never been so profound. And truly felt the danger of Jiehe, and couldn't help thinking suspiciously, could they really get out of this adventurous journey safely?
Alicia obviously didn't know the uneasy feelings of those two people. She leaned on the holy sword and thought for a while, then suddenly said "Oh", then took the big sword and split the man-eating tree in two neatly , from the innermost place, peeled off a small piece of white tree core, shook it and said: "It seems to be edible, take it with you."

For human beings, no matter where they go, eating and drinking are the most important thing. The three of Alicia did not bring too many supplies, and the dry food on their bodies can only last for a day or two, and there is drinking water The question is, in this boundary river forest, there is no shortage of food and water, it just depends on whether they have the strength to get it.

But after walking down for too long, Alicia can be sure that she has indeed come to Jiehe, and she may be very familiar with it. Looking at all kinds of things inside, this girl does not feel too much novelty. Looking at those that have never appeared in memory, you will naturally know their purpose.

The water flowing in the river needs to be boiled with a kind of gray stone before it can be drunk. Most of the monster meat is poisonous and cannot be eaten, and there is also a special stench that cannot be removed no matter what. Delicious, looking at the beautiful fruit is the bait of man-eating plants, even in the open flat ground, there will be all kinds of small poisonous insects hidden, directly fell on the ground to sleep, often can not wake up...

All kinds of practical skills of boundary river adventures like this have jumped into Alicia's blank mind one after another, and are being verified to be correct by practice. Even experienced mercenary adventurers probably can't do better than her. Even better, while Alicia is happy, she will also have some doubts. Who is she? Isn't she a killer? In addition, the most important point is that she can remember so many experiences and skills, but why can't she Recall any memories associated with these.

Could it be that amnesia can also be carried out selectively, retaining her fighting instinct and adventurous skills, but completely taking away all the memories related to the past, the only thing left is about the boy with pale blond hair named Leander, There is also his shout in the haze, pulling Alicia back from the abyss of nothingness to the real world little by little.

And what was lost were those memories about passing the level, maybe... never to be found again.
