Can you become stronger without paying money?

The so-called "sub-human"... refers to a certain kind of creature with human-like appearance, language, intelligence and civilization. Most of them look very similar to humans, but they have some "extra organs" that are different from ordinary humans , the most common of which are the "beastmen" with animal ears and tails...

There are different opinions about the origin of the demi-human race. The most accepted one is that the demi-human race is the product of the research conducted by the ancient elves and the ancient Machka. Extract the excellent genes of human beings and use them to combine with human beings, so as to comprehensively strengthen human physique...

However, this experiment ended in failure. It seems that the genes of monsters are born with a "hunting instinct" for humans, and the demihumans born from this also have this troublesome characteristic. Compared with monsters without brains, they have Demihumans with the dual strengths of humans and monsters are much more dangerous.

Moreover, research has also found that the blood of monsters in demihumans will continue to be weakened through reproduction, until the power of the blood is completely lost, and it becomes indistinguishable from ordinary humans.

Therefore, the research was forcibly terminated, and the small number of demihumans were expelled by humans, and they were left to fend for themselves with monsters and the like...

Thousands of years have passed, and the blood of demihumans has been passed on from generation to generation, and the "hunting instinct" hidden in their bodies has become weaker and weaker. As the price of weakening the hunting instinct, the inheritance possessed by demihumans The "innate talent" of self-monsters is also slowly weakening.

The demihumans in the present era are already a kind of life that is not different from human beings except for some parts of their physiological structure. Therefore, the existence of demihumans no longer poses any threat to human beings. On the mainland, there is even a country formed by demihumans, all members of which are demihumans - the demihuman federation "Kakameya"...

This is the status quo of the demihumans. Although they exist as close relatives of humans in theory, most human beings have a subtle attitude towards the demihumans... After all, the statement that demihumans have monster blood in their bodies is the most recognized, and human beings have attitudes towards monsters. It can be said that he hates it deeply, and there are also many humans who have no reason to hate demihumans.

Although Sapphire doesn't have this problem, but as a person who grew up in a human country, she really doesn't have much affection for demihumans.

"I kind of accept that this child is here, but it doesn't seem to explain why this child is so close to you who haven't seen each other for more than an hour."

From just now, Ailu has been hiding behind Riel, the frequent physical contact between the two and the intimacy that Ailu almost sticks to Riel's body, it doesn't look like "just met" .

Fortunately, Riel immediately answered.

"Oh, I found this child in something similar to a 'coffin' (cultivation cabin). In short, the child was in a coma at the time. She woke up after I opened the coffin, and after waking up, she looked The first person to arrive was me, um, maybe it was because of this that I got very close."

It is true that many creatures have the instinct to regard the creature they see at first sight as their relatives, which can be explained, so Sapphire will not continue to struggle. After all, the danger of demihumans is the hunting instinct for humans. And seeing that this meow girl's hunting instincts have degenerated, only the ability to be cute is left, so there is really nothing to worry about.

"Speaking of which, what is Fei going to do... She doesn't know the rules of the mechanism, so it's hard to get out of the cave maze!"

Sapphire immediately put her attention on the last companion, but she didn't care about why Riel could know the secret to cracking the mechanism of the cave maze.

After all, Riel has shown his understanding of the elven relics many times before, so it's not surprising that he knows how to crack the cave maze, but Fei obviously doesn't know this.

"Well, for Fei, with Alice by my side, although I don't know the rules, it will take some time, but Alice is also a creation of the power of the elf relics. Relying on the induction of the power changes in the elf relics, it is not too difficult to solve this problem." It should still be feasible to have multiple organs.”

After all, the only problem with this institution is that it is a maze. There are no troublesome combat traps. The maze itself is not dangerous. As long as Alice spends some time, Fei takes a few detours, and the difficulty of getting out is actually not high.

Just as the two were discussing this, Fei's voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Ah, Sister Sapphire and Brother Riel, you have already come out, as expected I am the last one~"

Sure enough, Fei, the loli, appeared in the hall intact with Alice in her arms. Safieli ran over without saying a word, and asked about the process of leaving the maze with concern. Originally, Safieli thought that Fei really relied on Alice's power escaped from the labyrinth, but who knew Alice answered with an ethereal voice.

"...Well, I just read the power trend of the entire maze and sorted out the rules to break the maze... Fei has already walked out of the maze by herself! Mmm...Alice is completely useless!"

There was actually a bit of anger in this sentence, which showed that Alice couldn't accept that Fei was able to walk out of the maze by walking around on her own.

"Uh, walking out of the maze by yourself, how did you do it?"

Faced with Safieli's question, Fei just blinked her eyes as a matter of course.

"Ah, Sister Sapphire, have you forgotten? As I said before, my luck has always been very good~"

Yes, luck is very good, because "luck" is very good, so even if you just run around with your own strong luck, you can escape from countless wrong options and choose the right path, although Fei has also It was true that she had good luck, but now Sapphire discovered this fact.

Damn, how lucky is this loli?This luck is already unscientific, okay?

At the same time, Sapphire finally understood that as a loli in a ghostly place like the old city, she was able to live alone for two years despite being abandoned by her parents, and was finally adopted by Potter as an adopted daughter instead of starving to death outside. , rely on what kind of talent.

"In short, it means that everyone is here, meow?"

Fei was taken aback by the energetic voice, and then this loli saw Elle who was sticking to Riel. Immediately, more than a dozen kinds of light in Fei's eyes changed at the same time, and finally stagnated into some extremely ominous color.

"This, this, this... what is this! Why is there such a cute creature in this world, is this demihuman? Ahhh, are these tails and ears real? Nah, I Can I touch it? I will be very careful not to hurt you!"

The blond loli who approached with an extremely dangerous speech immediately blew up the hair on Elle's frightened tail. Without saying a word, she wrapped her hands and feet around Riel's waist, and shrank behind Riel's back. The thumping sound threatened.

"No, don't come here, no...or I'll bite you, meow!"

As a result, before Fei had time to take two steps, the whole doll was pressed against the face by Alice in her arms. Alice's ethereal voice was already crying.

"Can't watch it, don't watch it! Ugh, it's bad, my Fei is going to be taken away!!!"

Seeing this noisy scene, Riel and Sapphire looked at each other and shook their heads dumbfounded.

Tsk tsk, this litter of pet children and dolls can really make a fuss~

"By the way, isn't it time for us to mess around?"

Ruier allowed the three little ones to talk like this after arguing for three or five minutes, and Safiri, who had been pursing her lips and giggling, quickly put on a serious expression and coughed lightly.

"Ahem, yes, that's right, we didn't come here for this. Well, after solving the problem of the elf ruins, let's go find an interesting place to play and relax. The problem now is to hurry up. Go to the main part of the ruins."

Yes, although I have already passed through the cave maze, but for the entire large-scale ruins, this is actually only the level of the first part entering the door. The hall where everyone is in is nothing more than the elf ruins declaring "Welcome" Just street signs.

The so-called elven ruins, from here... is just the beginning!

Chapter 56 Elven Ruins? Flame ([-])

"……So hot!"

Fei couldn't help wiping her hot sweat with her hands. The steam rising from all directions seemed to be depriving her body of moisture anytime and anywhere. About 10 or [-] minutes had passed since she entered this damned place, but her physical exertion seemed like Run a two hour marathon.

Here is a large crimson plain, and the things under your feet are black and red rocky surfaces. On the plain, dozens of river beds of different depths are criss-crossed. However, in these river beds What flows in it is not a rushing river, but boiling hot magma.

These magma rivers cut the entire plain into countless irregular shapes, so that people who set foot on the plain can only advance on a twisted route. In the center of this endless plain stands a majestic altar. The altar made of black stone is the goal of Ruier and others.

However, after trekking in this ghostly place for more than 20 minutes, the distance to the altar has been shortened by less than half. Thinking that such a trek will last another 10 minutes, Fei feels dizzy for a while.

Of course, this is not the only case of Fei, the other conditions are not good either. Sapphire's face was covered with a blush, although her expression hasn't changed much, but from time to time, she let out a heavy panting full of heat, fully It shows that her physical condition is definitely not very good.

Alice is a doll, so she was not affected too much. She started flying by herself 10 minutes ago. After all, holding such a big doll in her arms will cause a lot of heat, and the flying Alice Holding a small fan that came out of nowhere in his hand, he fanned Fei hard...

Although in this place where the heat is overwhelming from all directions, the wind is really not enough to see, but at least it is better than nothing, how much better than nothing, isn't it?

In addition, Riel's reaction is quite good. After all, the equipment "Mobile Church·Gospel of Truth" on his body has the effect of eliminating abnormal environmental damage. He can swim back and forth twice, so this little heat is naturally not a big deal.

And in stark contrast to Riel is a certain big cat... That's right, because Elle, who is naturally heat-resistant and more sensitive to environmental changes than humans, has turned her mosquito-repellent eyes all over her body, softly letting Riel carry her back. on the back.

Fortunately, this cat is not tall, and it seems that because it is a cat, its body is incredibly light. Carrying it on its back does not bring too much burden to Riel, but it just makes Riel a little dumbfounded.

However, just as the group of people trekked, there was a piercing bird song in the sky. A huge crow with sparks burning on its wings swooped down on the three people and the cat, only halfway through the movement. , the already hot and impatient Sapphire raised her right hand without raising her head...

"Atmospheric explosion!!!"

Then, the crow screamed. After half of its wings were destroyed, it was carried down from the sky, and fell straight into the lava river.

This double challenge for physical strength and spirit is just the second test after the appetizer-like cave maze, a real test that will kill you if you don't pay attention.

"Well, really, this is so..." Seeing that the altar is still far away, everyone's pace has slowed down by [-]% compared to the first, Sapphire couldn't help stretching out her hand, holding a piece of beautiful hair in her palm. Shiny stone.

Sapphire seemed to have made up her mind and planned to use the Spirit Stone to do something, but before she could make any move, Riel shouted at the side, "I suggest you keep this stuff at the bottom of the box, the current situation is not enough. It's just the exhaustion and loss of physical strength, and I can persist for a while by gritting my teeth, but the battle after that cannot be dealt with by gritting my teeth..."

After hearing this, Safiley smiled helplessly, and took back the spirit stone in her hand.

Although Ruier also wanted to help, but the mobile church was bound equipment, and he couldn't take it off to lend it to Fei, who had the lowest physical strength. On the way, Riel also tried to use magic to make ice cubes, but the effect was not ideal. Waste of magic power.

In this way, after nearly three to ten minutes of trekking, several people finally successfully stepped onto the huge altar in the middle of the plain.

"Ahhh, I almost thought I was going to become a salted fish!"

Fei, who was lying on the stone bricks of the altar, was panting heavily, and she didn't know the reason. In short, when she stepped on the altar, the threatening heat around her disappeared without a trace, as if the altar itself was isolated from the external environment.

Although the reason is unknown, it is indeed good news to not have to endure the damn heat.

"Hehe, thank you for your hard work, come on, eat this quickly..."

Although it is not so hot now, the lost physical strength cannot be recovered for a while. If you climb the altar in this state, the next problem will be difficult to solve. Therefore, Riel immediately took out the Three beans with a faint earthy yellow light were handed over to Sapphire and Fei, and he stuffed the last one into the mouth of Elle, who was about to lose consciousness.

These bean-like things are exactly what Riel got in the VIP gift bag before, and it is a great medicine to restore full blood blue and eliminate all abnormal states!

Item Name: Fairy Bean

Props Category: Consumables

Props description: I don't believe that there are still people who don't know this thing!

Remarks: Every time I think of the situation where a fat man ate half a jar of celestial beans by himself in the early stage, and the situation that the celestial beans were seriously out of stock in the later stage, and two people shared one, I felt that the "story killing" was terrible...

"What is this?" Panting Safiley took the fairy bean from Riel in a strange way, but she stuffed it into her mouth without thinking too much. After all, it was just a bean, but who When the material was crushed in one bite, the beans melted in her mouth and turned into a clear stream that permeated into her throat. Suddenly, Sapphire's whole body was shaken. She raised her hands in disbelief and looked at her palms. Everything has recovered, and now she is in incredible condition.

"Hey, this kind of thing... if it is sold on the market, the price will be incredible!"

Facing Safili's judgment, Riel smiled calmly, "Hehe, it's a pity that the value of this thing cannot be measured by money~"

Sapphire immediately acquiesced to Riel's statement. In fact, taking the forced drug for the whole process can also solve the problem, but because the trek for at least an hour means that one person will consume three bottles of forced drug, not to mention The forced drug in Ruier's hand cannot withstand this drinking method, and from a practical point of view, it is more cost-effective to drink fairy beans.

After all, taking medicine by force only consumes physical energy. Although it can speed up the recovery of magic power, it can't keep up with the massive consumption of people walking and killing monsters along the way.

Of course, another reason is that Ruier always feels that those few fairy beans that continue to be kept in his personal luggage may start to germinate, so let's use them up quickly...

After eating the fairy beans, everyone's condition returned to the peak level, especially Fei was resurrected on the spot. At this moment, she was moving her shoulders energetically, and she couldn't see the half-dead appearance just now, while Ai Lu felt a little distressed. Touching her own tail, the heat dried the hair on her tail a lot.

"Okay, don't feel bad, I'll buy you two bottles of high-quality hair conditioner later, you can just put it down now..."

With just one sentence, the catgirl who was in despair cheered up, and she let out a vigorous "oh".

"Then, the problem now is what's on the altar..."

Sapphire raised her head and looked up at the top of the stairs, there was the final destination.

However, apart from the things on the altar, there is another problem, Belle Figuelo, she also entered this elf ruins, God knows where she is now, and what her final purpose is, this is terrible It is really worrying.

"Well, there's no point in thinking too much, let's go, let's go up and have a look~"

Riel's proposal was of course approved by all members, and a group of people took steps towards the altar. The ladder itself is not high, and the connection between each level is very smooth. Anyway, it is better than walking on the plain before. It's a much easier experience.

About five minutes later, a group of people climbed to the top of the altar, and the moment they stepped on the altar, the painting style changed drastically in a second. On the top of the altar, there were three sculptures arranged in a triangle shape. In the center of the sculpture stands a stone pillar carved with unknown runes.

All three sculptures are about ten meters high, one black, one white and one gray. They are all shaped like a giant dog with fangs. , an appearance of wanting to choose someone to devour at any time!

"……Meow!"

Of course, this thing greatly stimulated Ailu, the little guy jumped back and touched the ground on all fours, raised his head and let out threatening roars at the three statues in front of him.

"Hey, it's just a statue, don't be so nervous, right?"

Fei asked a rhetorical question without knowing it, but Riel and Safiley nodded at each other, then Riel took out a silver-white longbow, Safieli pulled out her waist saber, and the two of them posed together. Stance.

"Well, there are usually reserved items in this kind of ruins. I have seen a lot when I ran around in the north and south. Pay attention, everyone, and I am ready to open monsters!"

After Riel's flawed words, the three frozen stone statues suddenly began to emit bursts of light all over their bodies, and a dangerous red glow began to be released from those vivid eyes...

Chapter 57 The Gates of the Prison World ([-])

One black, one white and one gray giant dog statue, a dangerous red glow began to bloom from its eyes, Riel and Sapphire looked at each other and nodded without saying a word, Riel pulled it away He held a longbow in his hand, and a triangular rapier rested on the bow. The full bow strings buzzed all over, driving the rapier to turn into a silver streamer and hit the black stone statue at the head.

The rapier was approaching only in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, the black stone sculpture suddenly opened its mouth wide, avoiding its head and biting the flying rapier with a click, the sharp teeth in its mouth closed, and the rapier instantly shattered In two!

Before the stabbing sword that was broken into two pieces hit the ground, a blue eye of the wind bloomed on the chest of the stone statue. Immediately, as if the gravity had deflected, an astonishing force of suction erupted from the blue eye of the wind. The rapier was pulled into it before it landed, and even the giant dog was pulled and unconsciously took a step towards the eye of the wind.

"Atmospheric explosion!"

As soon as Sapphire grasped her outstretched right hand, the wind eye reversed and exploded from the inside and outside. However, just like in most works, the damage of a big move decreases when the number of times used is too high. It seems that the proficiency improvement and damage are the same It's inversely proportional, in short, Sapphire's Atmospheric Explosion has an outstanding record against miscellaneous soldiers so far...

...But it just didn't succeed in any BOSS battle.

The explosive eye of the storm just pushed the stone statue of the giant dog back a step... Other effects, not even a white seal collapsed.

The corners of Safili's eyes couldn't help but twitch, Riel on the side clenched his palms calmly, the magic emblem appeared, and three stabbing swords projected out, Riel who put all three swords on the bow in one breath pulled back Unlocking the bowstring, Safili quickly clasped her hands together when she saw this, and the vacuum freeze was released. Before the giant black dog could make any further movements in the future, it was frozen by the icy blue breath.

"Good job, watch my random arrows!"

Compared with the atmospheric explosion whose destructive power can only be used by miscellaneous soldiers, the control skill of vacuum freezing has been accomplished repeatedly. Seeing that the giant dog statue has been controlled, Riel calmly let out a low voice, and the three rapiers It came out with a whistling sound, and disappeared into the sky in a second with a shocking spiral airflow...

... That's right, Riel missed again, and it was the kind where all three swords missed the target and missed the Milky Way!

Sapphire turned her head with a complex expression, Riel didn't dare to look into her eyes, put down her longbow and covered her face with one hand...

"Okay, you don't need to say it, I understand, I understand..."

After all, Riel took out the holy sword as if giving up the treatment, popped out the melee blade of the spirit bow, held both hands and feet, and rushed directly to the giant dog stone statue.

"Eat my Starburst and Abandon Healing Slash!!!"

Go to TM's random arrow method, labor and capital, as an archer, wants to fight in close combat!

Sixteen consecutive slashes greeted the giant black dog uninterruptedly, sparks and lightning flashed all the way, although the power of the first twelve swords was average, but the last four swords were forced on the giant dog under the additional damage of the continuous slash Four deep sword marks were carved!

"Elu!"

As soon as Ruier got the move, he turned around and withdrew. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say hello loudly. Immediately, a certain big cat responded vigorously.

"Yes!"
