Chapter 52 End Chapter Return
Compared to the lively scene, Gu Mo, who was alone on the way home, felt a little lonely and perhaps a little dazed of being alone in a foreign land.
Just like when you were far away from home for the first time, studying abroad, it was always unnerving to face a completely unfamiliar environment… Especially in this era, the wild is really a completely unexplored wilderness. The original ecological scenic area is full of all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts, either ghosts or robbers.
——No one knows what will be waiting for him in front of him.
The most important thing is that he walks alone in the wild, and it feels as if he walks around. What he sees in front of him is the same unchanging scenery. The rolling hills are constantly rising and falling towards the distance, and the tight forest seems to have just passed through. One slice, another slice in front of me…
In addition, there is no reference object, in such a situation, there is often an illusion that you are going around in circles. If it weren’t for the clear direction of Tong Zhanfu, which has always been unswervingly guiding the same direction, then Gu Mo might really doubt himself and be uncertain.
Tong talisman was his last two days of assault training, he put down all the progress of learning other talismans, and concentrated on one thing, so he quickly mastered the skills to get started…
This spell is an auxiliary skill. The effect in the game is to display everyone or things on the map, whether it is a hidden monster or an unseen item, it can be sensed and displayed on the map. And the real effect after de-gamification is of course the result of divination, predicting good and bad luck.
sounds like a very useful spell skill.
But in fact, depending on the complexity of the subject of the divination, the effects that can be exerted are completely different. Especially for those with many variables and relatively complicated things, it is very likely that the results will be ambiguous, the divination is difficult to interpret, or even the results themselves may be completely wrong.
To put it simply, it is like accurately predicting whether it will rain in a few days. Gu Mo originally thought it was a very simple matter, but after studying it, he realized that it is actually not simple at all. Abe Seimei also told him that those who can achieve this level are often extremely skilled warlocks.
Abe Seimei also told him that in terms of rituals and spells, it is relatively easier to directly ask for rain than to predict naturally.
But think about it, it seems that the weather forecast in later generations is the same thing. With the support of modern meteorological observation technology, various meteorological data are collected through various advanced instruments and widely distributed observation sites, and there is a lot of accumulation of experience. , as well as satellite cloud images, computer models… and so on.
However, the results of the weather forecast are still unsatisfactory. Even if it can be accurate to the hour level, only the weather at the hour level is relatively accurate, and the weather forecast after a few days or longer is only an approximation. towards.
Because the weather is changing, the factors affecting the weather are too many and too complicated, not only for the establishment of modern disciplines, but also for the mysterious side of metaphysics. This kind of thing that cannot be done with certainty was done by a certain person with his own ability…
—— Such a warlock, isn’t the level of his skill extremely high?
Gu Mo didn’t understand it very well at first, but later he realized that it was probably the performance of predicting the weather and calling for the wind and rain. It really doesn’t exist in all kinds of fantasy works, and it can’t compare to those fashionable and worth-breaking. This kind of cool ability, he subconsciously formed the wrong inherent impression that “this level belongs to the inflow”.
And now he uses the divination symbol, which is quite handy, because the main object to be divination is not complicated at all, and there is no special change.
After all, the Thirteen Cherry Blossoms Village is there. A village can never say that it has long legs. Its existence is certain and its location is fixed. In addition, he has also been to that village. He uses this connection to make divination. , each time the result is naturally smooth and clear.
This is also the reason why he dares to travel alone. As long as he does not lose his way, he has some spell skills, and a series of self-protection methods such as guardian spirits, then there is no problem at all…
It can only be said that this time is different from the past. The experience and adventures this month have made him grow a lot quietly.
…………
So, I don’t know how long it’s been since I left.
Gu Mo brought two horses, which were alternately used for commuting. Most of the activity time was used for rushing, and a small part was used as a buffer for free adjustment, so that he would not be forced to go offline and would not be able to wake up in danger.
Hurry up during the day, eat dry food and drink water when you are hungry and thirsty. At night, try to find a suitable place to make arrangements and then rest based on the experience of overnighting in the wild from Tokichiro before departure… Collect dry wood, light a bonfire, and set up a knot. The world symbol, and the guardian spirit who tirelessly guarded him when he was resting.
Except for the first few times when he was not used to it, he was always worried that he would be in the monster’s stomach when he woke up, so he woke up several times, but after that, Gu Mo quickly adapted to everything. It’s not that they didn’t encounter attacks on the way, but they were all passed by him one by one.
In the morning of this day, he successfully returned to the village where the cherry blossoms fluttered.
The prosperity and liveliness of the past have been destroyed, and now only the silent dead are left among the flower-viewers. He walked into the deserted and silent village, looked at it, and found that compared to when he and the others left, the back of the village seemed to be different. Was raided once, I don’t know if it was a nearby village or a robber heard the sound.
Or the survivors who escaped that day, came back and took their last little savings to start a new life?
Because there are no living people and no prey, the deserted village is empty and there are no monsters roaming. Gu Mo found the old house based on his memory. The thatched piles he had laid are still here, but they were a little messy and covered with a light layer of dust.
He tidied up the house and planned to rest here for a while.
Even though he was here, he was also very excited, but at least he kept his basic calm, knowing that he couldn’t be in a hurry now. Because considering the time when I entered, it is better to go back at that time.
In that case, the real world should also be late at night…
At that time, everyone in the community was basically asleep, and even if I suddenly appeared like this, I wouldn’t attract too many people’s attention…
Looking at the tailor-made light armor on his body, Gu Mo sighed. The ancient armor is basically like this, and his clothes were tattered as early as the night he entered the copy. It’s unbearable, and this is something that can’t be helped.
He sat on the thatched pile, stretched hard, and then fell into a state of trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
I can’t tell if it’s a short or a long journey, and it’s finally coming to an end for the time being. At this moment, his heart is naturally full of mixed feelings, and his thoughts are quite complicated. There are not only excitement and anticipation for the upcoming return, but also reluctance and worry. , and at the same time there is a trace of inexplicable guilt.
Well, it’s not inexplicable, he knows very well what is the reason for his guilty conscience and where it comes from.
After a long while, Gu Mo smiled wryly, raised his hands and rubbed his face, he sighed, leaned directly against the wooden wall behind the thatched pile, and closed his eyes gently.
The illusory warmth and heat of the big fox that only he can feel surrounded him, making him feel at ease, while the white pit viper is a little farther away, but it is also due to seasonal reasons, because it is still expected that the spring breeze brings a slight coolness. Chill time. By June, the situation will probably turn around.
But then again, is this the second half of your life that you will be warm in winter and cool in summer, and your air-conditioning and heating supply has been guaranteed for a lifetime?
Gu Mo’s thoughts were in a mess, so cranky.
The old man gave him the guardian spirit of the white pit viper, and the effect of constant protection is actually – “Anti-poison +20, Lucky +30, Poison attribute damage +15%, restore 0.5% health value every hour (non-serious injury state) “.
This is probably because the white snake is believed to be a **** or an incarnation of the gods in various places, symbolizing growth, regeneration, longevity and prosperity. Also, because the goddess Benzaiten, the goddess of talent and wealth, is a white snake, people believe that snakes will attract wealth, and the shed skin will increase wealth.
Also, the viper was originally feared because of its strong poison and strong vitality. People believed that a viper with a white body would have a strong spiritual power, so it is not surprising that it has such a protective effect.
It’s just that Gu Mo has not felt any sense of existence of these constant shelters for the time being, probably because he has not been able to make it work well since he obtained the guardian spirit, so so far, the only intuitive feeling is… this A snake is cool, and it may be very comfortable to lean against in summer.
Time passed slowly, the sun went down and the moon rose.
The night was quiet and everything was still. Gu Mo waited patiently until midnight. He felt that it was probably at the time when he first came in that he took action. He walked out of the house and walked again with a torch in the direction of the main entrance of the village.
groping along the rugged mountain road outside the gate of the village, he approached the entrance of the instance step by step.
At this time, the guardian spirit issued an early warning.
There seems to be some movement ahead…
He cursed inwardly, but he couldn’t relax at the last moment. But at this point, he couldn’t back down. He continued to walk forward cautiously, and saw a familiar figure curled up by the river bank, with long hair and wet body, and his lower body was soaked in black water. .
If you can’t see the lower body, most people would probably think that some escaped woman drifted here along the river.
Whether it is a kind heart or a malicious heart, as long as you walk past, your head will be bitten off in an instant.
It’s a **** girl again…
However, it is normal for a monster turned into a ghost of a drowned woman to appear by the water. My luck is just bad… or I am so lucky that I didn’t encounter it when I walked past here on the first night. , otherwise, Axiu would probably be eaten without even seeing her.
Gu Mo sighed in his heart and glanced at the opposite side, this is a very awkward position.
The starting point should be there, the distance is not far, but I have to walk past the girl.
His thoughts turned, and he made up his mind. First, he looked around, and then secretly used a token to confirm that there were no other lurking dangers around. Then he looked ahead, holding the torch and slowly approaching the past with hesitation. There seemed to be some unsure voice calling out:
“Miss? Miss? What’s wrong with you?”
“…”
The yokai in the form of a woman curled up by the river bank moved, but there was no response.
Gu Mo continued to call softly, and slowly approached the past. Naturally, he did not want to alarm the other party, but even if he did not do so, this thing must have already known that he was here. Now he is posing like this, probably to trap. came by myself-
Otherwise, how stupid would it have to be to keep posing here in the deep mountains?
Following Gu Mo’s actions, he seemed to be approaching ignorantly. The female monster was still motionless, but the underwater snake body could not help but sway slightly.
Delicious human flesh will soon be sent to the mouth foolishly for oneself to taste at will, it is difficult to suppress the excitement in the heart.
Slowly, when the stupid human’s voice got close to a certain level, its beautiful face buried under the arms gradually deformed, and its mouth cracked to the back of the ear, revealing sharp fangs… Then, Just the next moment-
Boom! !
Boom! !
Just as it was about to explode, just like a snake attacking an enemy within its attack range, several fiery fireballs hit its head precisely one after another. At this time, Gu Mo is no longer stingy with the use of spells. If it weren’t for the speed limit, he would definitely be happy to blast all the remaining inventory on the forehead of this thing.
A sharp, reptile-like hissing sound of anger or pain sounded, huge waves exploded on the river, and the huge snake body five or six meters long twisted wildly, slapping the water surface, and quickly extinguished the burning flame.
This angry snake girl turned her head with venom, and flew towards the hateful prey.
Gu Mo silently raised the long sword in his hand. At this moment, Fan Tie shone brightly and radiantly. The original shape and outline could hardly be seen. The pure white light radiated everywhere, and its edge was like a snake. This is the power of the white pit viper lodged in the weapon.
Ninety-nine weapons!
Since you are so clueless, let’s take your first try! His eyes narrowed and he took the initiative to greet him!
…
…
Real world, community.
The night was quiet and quiet.
Sitting in the brightly lit duty room, although it was well maintained, the old security guard with gray temples put down his mobile phone, stretched, and then reached for the cup on the table and took a sip of the wolfberry water inside, feeling that A little more spiritual.
looked outside, he withdrew his gaze and yawned again.
It has been another month or so since he was scared last time, and nothing like that has happened again. Afterwards, he also thought that maybe he was too sleepy at the time, so he became suspicious. In fact, there was nothing at all. matter.
It is reasonable to say that even if this is the case, most people probably don’t want to be a security guard and are on duty at night.
But old man Ding is not, especially the rumored incident of evil during this period. Everyone said that he was old and timid. So he kept saying that it was Xiao Gu’s fault. If it wasn’t for that young man who was ignorant, he wouldn’t be thinking nonsense.
On the other hand, he has to continue his previous work, to prove that he has come through all kinds of storms and waves in his life, and fear does not exist at all!
But then again, it seems that I haven’t seen Xiao Gu for a while… Although I didn’t see him every day, but I haven’t seen him for so many days, I’m afraid that the young man is deliberately walking around him.
Old man Ding guessed like this, and the old face was even more displeased. He was really an impolite junior. Didn’t he just say a few words to him when he explained it, and he was actually angry with himself. Those guys with broken mouths like to sing in the streets, and it’s not on their own initiative. The mouth is on them, and when they hear it, they spread it everywhere. What can be done about it.
Alas, today’s young people are really outrageous, when you see it, you must train him well…
He thought so, lowered his head, and continued to pick up the phone. At this moment, he suddenly smelled a very strong **** smell.
Old man Ding looked up subconsciously, his eyes suddenly dull.
A figure wearing armor that seems to appear on TV shows, like an ancient sergeant, didn’t know when he appeared outside, and half of his body was splattered with blood. Although he couldn’t see it clearly, he had a murderous feeling…
A strong **** smell came from his body.
