What was going on? I was shocked. Could it be that the killing sword qi in my body had affected my brain's judgment and caused me to lose control of my body? Or perhaps, the soul of this body had awakened from the depths of its consciousness due to the influence of the killing sword qi and occupied a dominant position. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be shocked.
This must have something to do with the accumulation of sword qi! I secretly calculated that if I let him out after the offensive sword qi accumulated to a certain amount, would this situation happen?
I decided to give it a try. During the battle, the killing sword qi in my body once again began to flow and rush towards my wrist. In my mind, that strange consciousness once again drilled out. Alright, I'll give it a try now. I'll subconsciously use my will to control these two killing sword qi.
"Sou!" A white light flashed, and just as I expected, the killing sword qi was instantly slashed out under my control. His body quickly calmed down. The killing sword qi disappeared, and the strange consciousness in his mind also disappeared.
He tried several times in a row, and it was the same!
"What's going on?" I was confused by the strange changes in my heart, but I could confirm that the strange thought was affected by the killing sword qi. The stronger the killing sword qi was, the stronger the killing thought would be. When the killing sword qi was saturated, the killing thought would completely control my body and fight on its own. When the killing sword qi was completely consumed by the killing thought, the killing thought would also disappear, and I would once again have control over my body.
After a few experiments, I grasped the conditions required for the killing intent to appear. That is, the killing intent would be awakened after about two minutes. Within these two minutes, I could choose whether to release or store the killing intent. In other words, whether the killing intent appeared or not was completely under my control. As long as the strength of the sword qi was controlled within a certain range, the killing intent could be avoided.
"In addition, I also discovered that the offensive killing sword qi in my body maintained a constant amount each time. In other words, if the offensive killing sword qi in my body gathered too much, I would not be able to shoot them out at once. Instead, I would have to shoot them out in separate times. For example, when my offensive killing sword qi accumulated for a minute, I could shoot out four offensive killing sword qi. Moreover, these four offensive killing sword qi could be released continuously or at random intervals according to my will. This situation seemed to be different from what I knew. As far as I know, there's no one who can continuously release an offensive sword aura. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 15 seconds to release an offensive sword aura.
Finally, after five rounds of battle, I roughly figured out how to use this sword aura: "Alright, let's stop here!" I called out to Long Zhan and Long Qi, who still wanted to continue luring monsters.
"Brat! Your offensive sword qi is really powerful!”Long Zhan had an expression of lingering fear.""It can actually be released continuously! I've never seen such an offensive sword qi before!”
Why did you stop? Long Xin ran all the way to my side.
"I've almost comprehended the stars!”Long Qi explained.
"Yes!" I nodded slightly at Long Xin, but Long Zhan's words surprised me a little: "What?! Can't you release your killing sword qi continuously?”My heart trembled. Even Long Zhan had said so, which proved that my guess was correct."Can't you store your killing sword qi and then release it continuously?”
"Store offensive sword qi! Release continuously!" Long Zhan had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.”
"Is there something wrong with what I said?”Long Zhan's expression made me somewhat puzzled.
"But then again, your offensive sword qi is indeed a little strange!”Long Zhan pondered for a moment and said seriously," I don't know what your offensive killing sword qi is all about, but! I can indeed store my sword aura, but I can only release it once. If I want to release my sword aura again, I need at least 15 seconds of qi gathering time!”
"Fifteen seconds!" I couldn't help but say,"Don't tell me your killing sword qi! It can be released at the same time?"
"Your question is strange! Which sword qi wasn't released in one breath?”Long Zhan also had a puzzled expression.""But I've never seen you divide the sword qi into several blades and release it!”
"Let's not talk about this first!" I vaguely felt that my killing sword aura seemed to have some different characteristics from others, but in order to confirm my guess, I decided to use Long Zhan as a reference: "I want to ask you, after your killing sword qi has been condensed for fifteen seconds, if it keeps condensing in your body and not releasing it, will the killing sword qi in your body continue to grow stronger?”
"Nothing has changed! Fifteen seconds later, the strength of my sword aura had reached its strongest state. Even if he continued to condense it, there wouldn't be any changes!”As Long Zhan spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed drastically as he looked at me with an incredulous expression."Could it be that your sword aura can continue to grow stronger after fifteen seconds?”
"Indeed!" Long Zhan's reaction had already confirmed the guess in my heart: "Otherwise, how do you think I managed to continuously release that killing sword qi?”
"Unbelievable!" Long Zhan muttered," There would actually be such a thing. Looks like I have to find the experts within the clan to ask properly!"”Long Zhan said as he looked at me with an envious expression,"This kind of offensive sword qi is very useful in actual combat. You have to know that continuous offensive sword qi is simply impossible to guard against!”
"Haha! I think so too!" I was overjoyed. I didn't expect that although my killing sword qi was a little abnormal, it was more powerful than ordinary killing sword qi! I'll be at ease now. However, I didn't plan to tell them about the strange killing intent in my heart. After all, I hadn't even come into contact with my unique offensive sword technique, Long Zhan, let alone this kind of killing intent that was controlled by the offensive sword qi. It would be useless to ask. And there's one more thing. I don't want anyone to know about the killing intent in my mind.
"This guy is really strange. Even the offensive sword qi he cultivates is different from others!”Long Qi didn't make a big fuss about it, as if anything that happened to me was no big deal."Alright, since you've finished cultivating your offensive sword technique, let's hurry up and prepare to set off for Centipede Cave!”
"Yes!" "But there are still so many Skeletal Eyes that I haven't collected yet!" Long Xin continued.”Long Xin said as she looked at the three of us with a serious expression,"Since the cultivation of the stars has been completed, you guys should quickly help collect them!”
"Ah!" "Can we leave now? I want to reach Centipede Cave as soon as possible!" Long Qi sighed.”
"Yes!" Long Zhan, who was at the side, also nodded repeatedly in an attempt to change Long Xin's decision.
"No!" Long Xin looked at the skeletons on the ground with a reluctant expression."This is all money!"
“..”I knew this would happen.
"Then…" Long Qi seemed to want to say something, but Long Xin had already run over to the Dongbao Seven.
"Sigh! Forget it, let's hurry up and pick it up!" "Do you think that the Faction Leader will leave here if he hasn't picked up all the money?" Long Zhan said helplessly.”
"Don't even think about it!" Long Qi said unhappily.
Thus, Long Qi, Long Zhan, and I also joined the ranks of scavengers.
At 3 PM, we finally finished collecting the Skull's Eyes. There were about 80,000 of them, which made Long Xin happy for quite a while. After all, this was equivalent to 80 gold coins.
At this point, my training in the skull cave is considered to have ended. After returning to the inn, we were busy packing up and preparing to head to the Mengzhong Empire. However, for the sake of financial benefits, Long Xin decided to go to the bulletin board to pick up some quests that could help her get to Meng Chongsheng. It had to be said that Long Xin was indeed a very calculative person.
In the town's grocery store, Long Xin exchanged 80,000 Skull's Eyes for 80 gold coins before we headed to the notice board.
In the lively and noisy announcement hall, we found more than a dozen missions that could take us to the Mengzhong Empire. The first row was:
Mission Number 03256
Quest Type: Escort Guard
Quest summary: Escort ten carts of black iron ore from Maple Leaf Town to Tianji Blacksmith Shop in Mengzhong Empire's Earth City.
Mission Period: August 12 to October 12
Mission reward: 200000 gold coins
Quest deposit ** Gold Coins
The guild requests an Eagle Ranger guild.
"Sigh! There was no need to consider this. It was simply an Eagle Level escort mission!”Long Qi said helplessly,"Let's find a beginner guild!"”
"Yes!" Long Xin nodded.
We could only perk up and carefully stare at the mission list on the bulletin board.
Unfortunately, we didn't find any suitable missions for us. Either the guild level wasn't high enough, the mission deposit wasn't enough, or the mission conditions were too harsh.
Just as we were about to give up, we saw one at the bottom row.
Mission Number 0077452
Quest Type: Escort
Mission summary: Escort the employer and his wife through the Voma Forest and safely arrive at the Southern Ridge City of the Mengzhong Empire.
Mission duration: 1 month
2000 gold coins as reward
Mission deposit: None
Guild requirement: Beginner Ranger Guild.
"This one!" Long Xin looked at the reward column carefully.”
"It's the only mission we can accept!”Long Zhan muttered.
"Hu! Forget it!" "Let's go to Mengzhong directly!" Long Qi said gloomily. This little reward was not even enough for the travel expenses! Moreover, Wilma Forest was not a good place to travel. The number of Orcs and Bandits along the way was as many as the hair on an ox!”
“..”Long Xin moved her eyes away from the quest list with some reluctance and subconsciously touched the small waist pouch at her waist. It seemed that she was definitely heartbroken to spend another sum of money on the road.
"That one!" Suddenly, a sweet female voice sounded behind him.""Excuse me, are you rangers?"
Turning around, his eyes lit up. What a beautiful little beauty. She had long purple hair, big purple eyes, a delicate nose, a small mouth, and a palm-sized oval face. She looked exactly like a beautiful girl in a comic. At this moment, this little beauty was looking at us with a troubled and hesitant expression.
"En ha!" Long Qi swallowed hard. Is there anything you need?"
"That one!" " I see that you've been looking for a mission to Mengzhong," the beautiful girl stammered." Is that so?"”
"Yes, we were planning to go to Mengzhong and find some missions that we can do along the way.”Although Long Xin was amazed by the girl's beauty, she quickly calmed down.
"Actually! The beautiful girl seemed to be a little hesitant, but she still made up her mind."Actually, I want to find someone to protect me and my brother.”
Little brother, we just realized that there was a young man who was about the same age as me behind the beautiful girl. Perhaps it was because of the girl's outstanding appearance that we all ignored his existence. However, after taking a closer look, he was also a rare handsome boy! She also had purple eyes and purple hair. Her appearance was 50% similar to the beautiful girl, but at this moment, she was looking at us angrily.
It seems like we didn't offend him in any way, I thought to myself.
"But because we have to pass through Wilma Forest, and because the commission I can pay is too little, no one is willing to accept this mission!”The purple-haired beauty was a little embarrassed!
"You guys. Two! Go, Meng Zhong!" Long Zhan stared blankly at the purple-haired beauty, and then looked at the bottom line of the mission list, Beginner Ranger Mission: "Could it be that this mission was issued by you?”
"Yes!" The purple-haired beauty blushed in shame.
"Ah! Haha! Haha!" Long Qi laughed dryly. Well, the commission is indeed a little low, haha!”Long Qi subconsciously rubbed his head as he spoke, seemingly recalling what he had just said.
Sweat! With such a small commission, she had the nerve to issue a Ranger quest. He really did not know what this girl was thinking.
"Sis! Let's wait for our family to pick us up!”The purple-haired girl's younger brother looked at us without any doubt.""Besides, can they protect us?”
"But! However, if he didn't hurry back! He couldn't even see his mother for the last time!”The purple-haired girl had a sorrowful expression on her face, causing one's heart to ache.
Mother? My heart trembled. One last time. Could it be! Not only me, even Long Xin and the others could tell that the young girl seemed to have some difficulties that she had no choice but to face.
"What's going on?" "Why are you so insistent on returning to the Alliance's Zhong Nan Ling City, and why do you have to pass through Wilma Forest?" Long Xin asked.”
"Yes, I am!" Long Qi was also curious." Although passing through Wilma Forest is indeed the shortest path, it's also the most dangerous path! If they took a boat or the sea route, although it would take three months, it was still safer than Wilma Forest!”
"Yes!" The purple-haired girl shook her head with a desolate expression."It's too late. Mom can't wait for three months!”
"Can you tell us what's going on?”Long Xin seemed to understand. Can't wait that long?"
"Yes!" The young girl nodded her head in pain. She clenched her fists so tightly because she was too excited that her knuckles turned pale."If I can, I'm willing to pay any price, but I only have this much money on me!”The purple-haired girl looked at us expectantly."But I promise that if we can return to the Southern Mountains, I will give you more rewards! Ten times! Or even a hundred times! A thousand times! But, but who would believe me!”
"Sis! Don't say anymore!" "No!" his younger brother said excitedly. The two of us will go back by ourselves!"
"Ah! If you want to pass through Wilma Forest, it's just the two of you!”Long Qi said in shock.
"I'll send you back!" Almost subconsciously, he blurted out this sentence. It was only when Long Xin and the other two looked at me in shock that I realized what I had said. However, I had no intention of taking it back. Perhaps I can't bear the pain of losing my loved ones! My special background made me value family ties more than anyone else. And I absolutely believed the last sentence that the young girl said. Because of her expression, she couldn't lie to me.
"Hey! Xingchen, you're not joking, right?" "That's Wilma Forest!" Long Qi muttered. This was the most chaotic place on the continent!”
"I told you, I'll send them back. You don't have to go!”
"Ah!" This time, it was the purple-haired girl and her younger brother's turn to look at me in shock.
"As for the reward, we will collect it according to the mission list!”Although I believe that if the young lady can really return to the Southern Ridge, she will definitely be able to offer a more generous reward, I don't intend to accept that. There was no special reason, he just didn't want to do that.
"Thank you!" "But!" the purple-haired girl said gratefully. Forget it! If it's just you alone, you won't be able to protect us. You might even die for nothing!”The young girl continued," Actually, I know that Wilma Forest's terror is unimaginable. Even if the four of you escort it together, you might not be able to pass it safely! I just, just!" The girl's voice became softer and softer until she seemed to be muttering to herself,""It's just that I'm not willing to give up any chance!”
Was he unwilling to give up any chance? It's really similar to me. In order to cure my mother's throat, I'm also unwilling to give up any chance. I think I can still understand this kind of feeling.
"What I want to ask is! If no one accepted this mission! Will you really choose to cross Wilma Forest by yourselves?”
"I will! No matter what!" "Because only I can save my mother's life!" the purple-haired girl said firmly.”
"We accept this mission!" Long Xin, who was standing at the side, took off the wooden token with the mission number.
"Ah! What are you doing!" I still couldn't be sure of Long Xin's actions. Wasn't this little girl very smart? Since when was she willing to do such a losing deal?
"You have to understand! I'm the real gang leader!" Long Xin said arrogantly,"Even if you want to accept the mission, it's not your turn!”Long Xin said as she put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look and walked towards the mission acceptance counter with the wooden token.
"Haha! Actually! We had already planned to accept this mission!”Long Qi laughed dryly and rubbed his forehead.”
"Just treat it as an experience!" "Anyway, coming to the league isn't for experiential learning. I don't mind starting on the way!"”
"Thank you!" "Thank you so much!" The purple-haired girl was touched.”
