Chapter 394 Chapter 390 · "That road is too long."

[The tenth day of dungeon opening · 8:00 in the morning]

at dawn.

Su Mingan pushed open the door and saw a red figure sitting not far away.

The white snow fell on her shoulders, and she stared at the distance silently... It seemed that there was a silent and bitter breath spreading in the white snow.

That flaming red is particularly dazzling in the white snow, like a flame shining in the ice and snow.

Hearing the door open, she turned her head, her dark eyes fixed on Su Ming'an for a moment.

She looked like she had been sitting on the edge of a frozen glacier for a long time, her head covered with a fine layer of snow.

"Did you sleep well?" Naraku asked him.

"Is it obvious?"

"Under your eyes." Naluo pointed to his face: "Everyone can see it in a circle."

Su Mingan didn't look in the mirror, he raised his head and looked towards the south.

Through the tall and short one-storey houses, he could see the dazzling barrier, and outside the barrier, dense shadows could be clearly seen in the snow.

"Don't worry." Naraku said, "Even if that layer of enchantment is broken, there is still the enchantment of the royal city. If your goal is to climb the cloud city, go to the enchantment of the royal city and wait until the day after tomorrow." gone."

Su Mingan knew she was right.

Even if he didn't care about the Kraken attack, he would be able to pass the level perfectly when he boarded the city of Yunshang, because the story would end there. As for Praia on the ground, it was just a springboard for him to board the city.

But things can't be seen that way.

The reason why the Kraken attacked the city was that he was afraid that the Kraken would break through Praia ahead of time and hinder the final customs clearance route.

"—You little girl! Say something!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout from the side.

Naluo was taken aback, seeing an aunt wrapped in a padded jacket squeezed out from a few rooms away.

Her face was red from the cold, but her mouth was not polite at all:

"It's hard work. It's been a bit easier these past few years. How do you want us to live without such a large piece of land? How did your family teach you to say such depressing words at a young age? Such bad words, You can't talk nonsense!"

Naraku opened her mouth, she was stunned facing this kind of aunt.

She grew up in an aristocratic family since she was a child, and she had never met an aunt with such a loud voice, it was like thunder in her ears.

"And you, boy."

Aunt's eyes, like knives, razed towards Su Ming'an who was standing at the door: "——You don't care about your girlfriend. At such a critical moment, it's fine if you don't go to the city wall to help, and you are still talking sarcastic here. It depends on your age. You can work, but you are still sleeping here. If you have the strength, why don’t you help move things?”

Su Mingan: "..."

He guessed that this aunt hadn't been close to the pier in the South District at all, so she hadn't seen Su Rin before, so she just treated him like an ordinary boy and taught him.

"Hey! Why do you fall asleep, do you know who this person is?" Naraku immediately stood up with a "swish", his face flushed with anger.

She didn't refute the sentence "You don't care about your girlfriend" at all, and started arguing about the second half of the aunt's sentence.

Su Mingan didn't want to continue arguing with this resident. Noon was the time when the "cross-sea operation" would start, and that would be the most dangerous period.

He walked directly towards the direction of the South District, and Nai Luo hurriedly trotted up.

"Hey, that's right, go early and help early." The aunt's voice floated from behind: "My son Yongzhi is helping at the front line, he probably hasn't had breakfast yet, I'll send him pancakes later Cake... You two, don't be idle, since you have the strength, hurry up and help..."

Su Mingan walked very fast, and soon left her voice behind.

Last night, he opened the fifth level of "The Devil and the Brave", but after finding that it and the final level "must be completed within two days", he decided to postpone this night level.

In this way, before boarding Cloudshang City, he still has the opportunity to roll back the file to change the night choice, instead of overwriting the file as time goes by.

He planned to complete the fifth level tonight, the final level tomorrow night, and board the Cloudshang City the day after tomorrow.

This way, the timing is just right.

He turned around and found that Naruto was still following behind.

Her steps were not fast, but she was out of breath and seemed weak.

"Don't follow me, the action later will be very dangerous." Su Mingan said.

"I know, Miss Ben is still a little bit measured." Naluo pouted: "But waiting on the city wall and watching you return safely, is it okay?"

"...that was not a very good experience."

"what?"

"Watching that sight will give you nightmares."

"Huh?" Naraku raised her brows upside down: "Su Lin, although I like you, don't be so confident and underestimate my courage. It's just to break through the Kraken blockade and go to the sea to re-establish knots." That’s all, how terrifying can it be?”

Su Mingan stopped.

"You should know that I'm not the old Su Lin."

He didn't look back.

"What?" Naraku tilted his head: "What are you talking about?"

She looked puzzled, not fake.

Su Mingan understood.

Unlike Princess Tulip and Sherrod, Naraku is an unawakened npc.

She didn't understand the concept of players he was talking about, and she didn't understand that Su Rin would change players. She wholeheartedly believed that he was the Viscount of the Su family she had liked.

She never learned to give up.

...But her liking is just a dungeon setting, not an emotional product achieved by her self-thinking.

This kind of love is very sad.

"Su Lin doesn't like you." Su Mingan said, "Go back."

Whether it is the past or the present.

Su Lin didn't even like her, never liked her.

All he has in his heart is the persistence and struggle for his own ideals, and his vision has always been on the future of this land. As for small love and love, they are all things that can be given up for the "future".

He had given up on the young Gard, whom he fell in love with at first sight, so naturally he would not stop for a Naraku.

Su Mingan's footsteps were extremely fast, and he quickly left Naluo behind.

Before reaching the city wall of the southern district, he heard the noisy voices of players coming from there.

The shadow state gave him excellent hearing ability, even if there was a distance of several hundred meters, he could hear all their words.

"Su Ming'an is dead? I saw his boat capsize with my own eyes!"

"Calm down, he still has a clone, this guy is very smart, he won't put himself in danger easily."

"...Then what should we do now? We can't find him, are we waiting to die in the enchantment?"

"Don't worry, I saw him appear at the pier in the South District yesterday, he should be sure..."

"It's all the fault of the first player. Why can't he think about us whiteboard players? He got a clue, provoked the Siren King, and ran away casually. What should we do..."

"Everyone has to believe in him. The number one player will never fail. We just need to wait for him to pass the level perfectly. Just like Minghui, he is sure to be able to turn the tide. I heard that the Soul Hunters will start at noon today. What 'cross-sea operation', forming a squad of sharp knives, running through the sea monsters outside, and rebuilding the outermost broken barrier, it will definitely be fine, we just need to wait here... "

Their voices were not loud, perhaps because they were afraid that the soul hunters would get excited and tear them to pieces.

After Su Mingan walked up the city wall, they immediately shut up like a mouse seeing a cat.

Su Mingan ignored these people, and looked at the registration office of the sharp knife squad, where many people who were resting were gathered.

They are not players, nor are they soul hunters.

They only wore ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and what they held in their hands were only stone and iron agricultural tools. Their faces and hands were also full of traces of hard work, not left by fierce battles. scars.

This is a group of ordinary people, ordinary Praia residents, who once lived an ordinary life.

But ever since Soul Hunting began to recruit members to participate in the "Knife Squad", when they came here, they were no longer ordinary.

The "Sharp Knife Squad", that is, the team participating in the "Cross-Ocean Operation" at noon, is openly recruiting for ordinary people.

The number of people it recruits is not limited, and the strength is not limited. As long as people are willing, they can participate.

As for the reason why the conditions are so wide,
...Because this team that crossed the sea, crossed life and death, needed victims.

The road across the siren barrier is too long, too long.Even if all the soul hunters with high combat power are on the field, and their manpower is sometimes exhausted, they can kill ten or a hundred sea monsters, but they can't do it if there are more.

Surrounding the barrier are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of sea monsters.

During the rest time of the Siren King, there seemed to be more and more of them, appearing in a state of mass production, breeding like fish roe.

Soul hunting has already calculated that even if all the soul hunting ministers join this sea-crossing brigade, even if all the existing powerful soul hunting are all protected outside the team, before reaching the outermost broken barrier, the team still has The danger of total annihilation.

That road is too long.

Therefore, they are recruiting team members from non-soul hunters.

These people without the slightest fighting power will be protected in the middle of the team to confuse the Kraken's judgment.

After a team reaches a certain number and has a certain scale, even if the battle line in one direction collapses for a while, it can be supported for a period of time until the soul hunting in other directions of the team can make up for it.

Of course, these ordinary residents, they will face great danger.

They have no fighting power, no powerful weapons, and only hoes for farming and harpoons for fishing.

They are not strong in stature, and they don't have any fighting skills at all. They are like pieces of fragrant meat and baits, staying in the middle of the team, confusing the public.

In case a Kraken targets them, if there is no other person to cover them, what awaits them is death.

They are the obstacles of the Kraken, the bait in the team, and the "consumables" that can roll this snowball and make the team survive longer.

During the recruitment period, the Minister of the Southern District, Kalocha, explained to these residents the dangers of joining the squad on the city wall.

Maybe the team will complete the task and return smoothly after establishing the enchantment, but it is also possible that this team will perish on the road, and everyone will die together.

Even if the team returns successfully, the "consumables" in it will face the risk of more than half of the casualties.

He explained the risks in detail and clearly. After talking about all this, he got off the city wall and walked to the registration point on the side.

His expression was very quiet, and he walked very slowly. He had no hope whether these people who had lived under the protection of soul hunting and lived in peace for a long time would choose to participate in this extremely dangerous operation.

If the inhabitants are unwilling to participate, let all the danger, all the possible deaths, be carried on their shoulders.

Soul hunting is to protect them, sacrifice for this land, and was born for this.

He respects the choices of every Praia resident.

Even if the team is wiped out in the end, the outermost barrier is not established by Su Rin, and the barrier on Praia Island is also shattered, they will be the ones who should be blamed.

The public should not have taken such a risk, he thought.

He walked to the simple registration point, and there were a few simple forms on the table.

There are name, age, family, and these three very simple subtitles. If people die in this operation, they will be regarded as sacrificial soul hunting.

Although compared to their lives, the complement of this honor is insignificant.

He thought no one would come,

Until, he tidied up the form, raised his head,
... He saw a group of people in civilian clothes, holding hoes, rushing over.

"I want to sign up! Since Master Su Lin is in the team, why should I hide in the barrier? I want to help the soul hunters!"

The leader, the fastest runner, was a dark-skinned young man wearing a straw hat, showing his white teeth.

"Name?" Carlocha asked.

"Yongzhi."

The young man smiled brightly.

……

Snowflakes fly down.

The farther you look, the more hazy the distant coastline becomes.

The city shrouded in a white barrier is like a helpless island surrounded by sharks, standing there under the almost crazy attack of the sea monster.

On the city wall, the soul hunters in uniforms were lined up in a square shape on the platform.
