Banner of the Evil God

Lei was annoyed by Sui Xiong's weird questions. He thought about them seriously, and the more he thought, the more distressed he became. He couldn't think of an answer that would satisfy him.

So he couldn't sleep that night.

Of course, he didn't know that the questions raised by Sui Xiong were carefully crafted by some annoying people in the Earth network community, and were designed to make readers feel the "malice of the world". Not to mention that he was just a robber from another world, even scholars on Earth would often frown and couldn't think of a perfect answer when facing such questions.

The next day, when Sui Xiong was going to discuss topics about the world and life with him again, Lei directly tore two pieces of rags and stuffed them into his ears to show his determination not to cooperate.

Sui Xiong could easily snatch the two pieces of rags away, but since the other party didn't want to discuss such topics, why should he bother himself? A forced melon is not sweet, and forcing people to do things by force is meaningless.

But some things can be done without force, and some things can't be done.

For example, saving people.

As the sky was getting dark, they were close to the edge of the Graystone Mountains. When they were camping, they heard fighting and cries for help.

According to Lei's plan, he wanted to keep moving forward, even if he had to travel at night, he had to leave the Graystone Mountains before camping. But they were unlucky to encounter a cliff. Sui Xiong cast a reconnaissance spell and determined that it would take nearly a day to bypass the cliff, and it would not be much faster to build a temporary bridge. Since Sui Xiong was too lazy to help build a bridge, Lei had to choose to go around in a circle, so the distance was greatly increased, and he had to camp in the mountains again.

Lei was not afraid of camping. This was already the edge of the Graystone Mountains, and theoretically there would be no monsters. Even if there were, most of them were the remnants of the defeated soldiers who had fled from the deep mountains. These days, he had been traveling in the deep mountains and killed many powerful monsters, not to mention these weak chickens! It was nothing more than sending them to die in vain, letting him pick up an advantage.

But he was really fed up with the environment in the mountains. Not to mention the poisonous snakes and fierce beasts, the endless poisonous insects alone bothered him. Even if he had insect repellent and didn't have to worry about being bitten, the buzzing and chirping sounds at night were annoying!

In addition, before going to bed every day, Sui Xiong would always talk to him about ideals and life, which made him even more annoyed.

Sui Xiong no longer talked about those awkward questions that made him feel terribly upset, but just talked to him seriously about topics such as "The most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to everyone only once..." or "A person's ability may be big or small, but as long as he has this spirit..."

These topics made him feel heavy, even more uncomfortable than those annoying questions. But he couldn't avoid such topics, because that would make him feel weak inside.

However, discussing these topics before going to bed would obviously affect the quality of sleep. Coupled with the endless chattering bugs, he couldn't sleep well almost every day, and his mental state was getting worse and worse.

So he was looking forward to getting out of the mountains and entering the territory of the Gold Coin Federation as soon as possible. There must be some people there, and then maybe this jellyfish god who likes life mentors will shift his target to others, so that he can at least sleep peacefully.

Even if this hateful jellyfish god still pesters him to ask questions and discuss those too profound issues, at least there will be no noisy bugs!

But not today.

So Lei was in a very bad mood, so when he heard the sound of fighting and calling for help from a distance, he didn't want to care at all.

"Someone is in danger." Sui Xiong said.

"Yes." He took out a blanket and planned to wrap himself up and sleep well while he was full and tired.

"Don't you want to save them?" Sui Xiong asked.

"No." Lei replied, and he was about to lie down.

Sui Xiong quickly jumped on his head and pressed a tentacle against his temple.

The tentacle was icy cold and sharp, which made Lei suspect that a hole would be drilled in his head in the next second, and red and white would flow out.

"What...what do you want to do!" He was startled and asked loudly.

"Help you correct your thoughts." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "There is too much filth and evil in your brain, I will help you draw some out."

Lei was shocked and retorted quickly: "My brain will be drawn out before that!"

"It doesn't matter." Sui Xiong said, "What you gain, you have to lose. This principle of equivalent exchange is a universal truth in the world. A little brain can be exchanged for kindness and peace. Don't you think it's a good deal?"

"I don't think it's a good deal at all! I don't want any damn kindness and peace!" Lei protested loudly.

"Opposition is useless! For evildoers, isn't it natural that the powerful have the final say?"

"...I understand, I'll go save those people!"

Sui Xiong laughed and retracted his tentacles: "It's a wise choice. If we do this earlier, it will save trouble for everyone."

Lei smiled bitterly, hung the spear on the back hook behind him, inserted the long sword into the scabbard at his waist, checked his equipment again, and then took a step and ran quickly towards the place where the fight and the cry for help came from.

He was very strong, and after this period of trekking, he was very accustomed to walking in the mountains. He jumped up and down step by step, just like a monkey jumping between rocks and trees. It took only a while to reach the place where the sound came from.

In a forest, four adventurers were fighting a giant bear that was at least two people tall.

It was a one-sided defense and being beaten. The giant bear was very powerful and had excellent defense. Although it was a little slow to react, it protected its vital points very well, leaving the adventurers no chance to take advantage of it.

The four adventurers were not very old. The two who were in full armor and responsible for the frontal battle were about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and the one who was wandering around and trying to contain the enemy with a bow and arrow was about twenty years old. The one who was lying on the tree and using magic to provide assistance was not even twenty years old. They were a group of young people.

Being young often means a lack of sufficient training and growth, which means insufficient strength. Young adventurers have the highest mortality rate because they lack experience and often cannot avoid dangers - and those dangers are mostly avoided by experienced adventurers.

For example, if an old man like Rhode or Ryan encounters the giant bear that is fighting with them, they will probably just throw a piece of fresh meat at it, and throw some more around while it is eating the meat, and then slowly retreat. They may even prepare some sweets, put them high on the tree trunk, and leave while the giant bear and the tree are fighting.

Most bears in this world are lazy and love sweets. When there is easy food, they are generally unwilling to risk getting hurt to fight fully armed adventurers. If sweets are in front of them, even if you have no weapons and turn around and run wildly, with a posture of "I am the prey", they will probably not bother to pay attention to you.

But these young people obviously don't know these experiences, or lack the corresponding preparation. So they can only fight the giant bear with their bodies that have not yet grown strong enough.

The chances of winning such a battle were slim. The giant bear had almost grown to the peak of a "ferocious beast", and it would enter the category of a "magic beast" if it were to be converted into adventurers. If it were converted into adventurers, at least a team of experienced adventurers with complete configuration and sufficient supplies would be needed - probably the level of Gerard and his companions who used the alias "Bald" Nian in the past - to be sure to kill it without any serious injuries.

And these four young men, in Sui Xiong's opinion, Gerard, who was invincible among the skeletons with a battle axe in the night of the skeletons in Baiye Village, could probably kill one or two of them in a one-on-four battle, and the rest would be injured.

It was obvious that they could not defeat the giant bear at all. The reason why there were no casualties until now was nothing more than that the team was reasonably matched and had a certain ability to withstand pressure.

The two responsible for the front were a warrior and a priest, both wearing heavy armor and holding shields. This solid armor helped them a lot and rescued them from crisis more than once. Moreover, with the help of heavy armor, the priest can take time to pray from time to time, cast a divine spell, and restore the physical strength of his companions or himself.

In addition, the magic of the mage also played a significant role. Although there are no advanced spells, just simple shield spells, missile spells, slippery spells, blur spells, etc., but the young mage has a good grasp of the timing of casting spells, so he can help every time.

In other words, they are constantly consuming the team's spellcasting ability to wear down the giant bear's physical strength.

Well, just physical strength. Because so far, the giant bear has not been injured at all.

If this continues, the outcome is obvious-when the mana is exhausted, these four young people will have no way to withstand the giant bear's fierce attack. At that time, perhaps the archer can escape, and one of the warrior and the priest can also escape, but at least one of the two must be left behind, and the mage who is not very flexible will definitely not escape.

Lei lurked near the battlefield, watching their battle quietly, but did not rush to take action.

"Aren't you going to save people?" Sui Xiong used magic to send his words to his mind.

Lei shook his head gently and answered with the help of temporary telepathic communication: "It's not that time yet, they can still hold on."

"When they can't hold on anymore, they will be seriously injured."

"It's not that serious, I will take action before that - for these young people, the experience of fighting to the last moment is very valuable and can effectively help them grow up."

Sui Xiong didn't urge him anymore. Lei was an expert in taking risks. Since he said that it would be better for these young people, Sui Xiong chose to believe him.

Besides... even if he really didn't want to save people, Sui Xiong could do it himself at the critical moment.

For a battle of this level, isn't everything under control!
