Fairy Nine Tails: My skills can be added

Sorry, guys, I'm having trouble with my crotch again, so I'm taking a day off.

(Non-text part below)

The cold wind howls and the ice and snow gnaw at the bones.

"call……"

Su Tai exhaled heavily, and the gas carrying his body temperature contacted the cold current in the air and liquefied into a thick white mist, steaming up in front of him.

After tightening his thin jacket, Su Tai raised his head, squinted his eyes and glanced around to make sure there was nothing suspicious around the tower, and then relaxed his tense body.

For a city gate tower guard, it is an unshirkable duty to detect suspicious things in time and sound the warning.

Especially in this damn world.

"Brother Li, it's time."

Turning around, Su Tai shouted loudly and walked towards the room in the tower that radiated warm firelight.

Not long after the voice fell, a middle-aged man wrapped in a thick coat and carrying a wooden spear came out of the room cursing.

Brother Li's full name is Li Qiusheng. He is a veteran Youzi who has been a tower guard for ten years and is also Su Tai's partner.

Apart from his mouth being a bit poisonous, this man has no major problems, and he especially likes to drink.

After Su Tai had a few drinks with him while twisting the bottle, the two naturally became good fair-weather friends.

"I know, I know, it's like a ghost. This weather is so damn cold. I've been guarding the tower for ten years, and this is the first time I've encountered it."

Glancing at the thin coat on Su Tai's body, Li Qiusheng couldn't help but said, although it wasn't the first time he saw it. "You little brat, you can really bear the cold."

"That's not."

Su Tai responded, then hurriedly walked into the room.

In this weather, staying outside for any longer would be torture.

The room in the tower was not big. Apart from the stove in the center, there was only a worn wooden table and two old-looking benches.

On the stove, there was an iron pot, which was steaming.

Su Tai rubbed his hands, quickly opened the lid of the pot, and looked at the thick soup with minced meat rolling inside, with joy flashing in his eyes.

He filled a bowl of soup with a big bowl, walked over and sat down on the bench, holding the bowl in both hands, and drank bit by bit.

The hot soup flowed down the throat into the stomach, slowly dispelling the coldness in the body.

Looking at the flames dancing in the stove, Su Tai's eyes couldn't help but feel hazy.

"It's been a year..."

An undetectable murmur came from his mouth, and his voice contained complex emotions that were difficult to describe.

A year ago, he was an ordinary junior on earth, about to start his senior year as an intern.

Before leaving, the brothers in the dormitory drank some wine. Unexpectedly, after sobering up, they came to the world decades later.

In the [-]th century, the earth's technology was already sufficiently developed. According to people's expectations, it should be even more developed in a few decades.

However, the reality is completely different.

Later he learned that the turning point of all this was 2044.

Before this, human technology was going as planned. Although there was no explosive step-like jump, overall it was still progressing steadily.

直到2044年4月4日0:00，世界在这里拐了弯。

Seven [-]-meter-high towers rose from the ground, and overnight, fog enveloped the world.

There is no more light in the world, all communication equipment and electromagnetic weapons have lost their effect, and only primitive kinetic energy weapons can still produce effects.

If that was all, it wouldn't be too bad.

The most despairing thing is the terrifying monster wandering in the fog.

They have scales that are so strong that bullets cannot penetrate them, claws that can easily cut through steel, and all kinds of incredible abilities.

Deeper in the fog, there are even terrifying existences that are difficult to describe in words...

Without the weapons of light and heat, human beings were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered under the fog. In less than a year, the population dropped sharply to less than one percent of the original.

The fire of humanity is teetering on the edge, and the continuation of the race is at stake.

At the time of life and death, the first flame was brought out of the tower by humans.

In the land where the fire shines, the fog and monsters retreat, and the sun returns to the world.

The surviving humans started exploring the tower from the city where the first flame was located, Ring City.

Today is [December 51, 12], and a full 12 years have passed since the disaster occurred...

Humanity has also formed an urban layout with the three super and fifteen major cities as the core.

Near King City, where Sutai is located, is one of the fifteen largest cities and one of the five affiliated towns of Twilight City.

After understanding the general history of this world and learning that there were monsters here, Su Tai was immediately confused.

As an ordinary person, it is okay to criticize monsters in mythical novels. If he really meets a monster, he is not pulling the tail of a tiger and shouting for help - seeking death.

Fortunately, God did not completely abandon him.

As compensation for the inexplicable time travel, deep in Su Tai's mind, there is a blue crystal.

When he closed his eyes and contemplated this strange crystal, he naturally understood its power.

[Secondary Winter Body]!

This is the ability, or talent, given to him by the azure crystal.

Reflected in reality, in addition to a certain improvement in physical fitness, the most obvious thing is that the resistance to cold is greatly improved.

It was precisely by relying on this ability that he successfully won the position of tower guard.

After all, the tower keepers need to resist the wind and snow for a long time, which is too much for them without a strong body.

As for why he wants to be a tower keeper?

Of course it's to survive.

Considering the horror of the rumored monsters, the small improvement brought by my [Elementary Winter Body] is far from enough.If you want to save your life in front of the monster, you need more strength.

After spending some time integrating into this world, Su Tai knew that in human society, there is an extraordinary power that can fight against monsters, [Profession]!

Of course, the reason why we could learn this news so easily is because almost everyone in Jinwang City knew about it...

After all, in this terrible world, without the power of fire and [Profession], mankind would have perished long ago.

[Occupation] is the only way for humans to control their own destiny in this world.

Since the first flame was ignited in humanities, the seeds of transcendence have also begun to take root and sprout in human society.

The only way to obtain a [career] is to join a higher vocational college and learn the extraordinary knowledge to become a professional.

The price is high tuition fees.

And this is why Su Tai chose to become a tower guard.

As a profession that requires hard work, cold, and extreme dangers, the pay of a tower guard is naturally generous.

"Whoosh..."

After finishing the soup, Su Tai breathed out the hot breath comfortably.Although his resistance to cold is stronger than ordinary people, as a normal human being, who would like the cold?

He folded his arms and curled up, unable to hide his sleepiness in the warmth brought by the stove, and gradually fell asleep.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Clang... clang... clang..."

The deafening ringing of the bell woke Su Tai from his sleep.

Is this the sound of the big bronze bell on the top of the tower? !

problem occurs!

This thought came to Su Tai's mind for the first time. The next moment, he grabbed the wooden spear beside him and rushed out of the door.

"Wow—"

The oncoming biting cold wind made Su Tai tighten his body subconsciously. He raised his head and looked into the distance.

The gray sky, the pure white earth, and a few black dots passing quickly.

This is……

monster!

Su Tai's body was shaking uncontrollably, and the palm holding the spear was soaked with sweat.

What to do, the monster, the monster really appeared!

Although he knew that monsters existed in this world, seeing them with his own eyes still frightened him, and the last trace of luck in his heart was shattered.

"Snapped!"

The palm of his hand slapped Su Tai's shoulder heavily, pulling him out of his nervous mood.

"Damn it, you little brat, it's already this time, why are you still hanging around here? Get out now!"

Li Qiusheng, who returned from the top of the tower, grabbed Su Tai's arm and ran quickly towards the exit of the tower.

"What should we do about that monster?"

Su Tai, who was led away by Li Qiusheng, asked.

"Does this need to be said?" Li Qiusheng didn't even look back, "Of course it's left to the professionals. For us little people, it's enough to do early warning work."

"Do you think the city lord expects us to deal with monsters? Just with our little arms and legs?"

Li Qiusheng said in a slightly mocking tone.

"This……"

Su Tai was speechless.

Soon.

"We're here, kid."

In front of an iron gate, Li Qiusheng stopped.

He pushed open the iron door. Except for a small light-transmitting window the size of a fist, the rest of the room was surrounded by thick granite, making people feel very safe.

"Let's hide inside and wait until the professionals deal with the monsters before we go out."

After locking the iron door, Li Qiusheng walked to the corner of the room and leaned against the wall with a wooden pole and a spear.

Compared to Su Wai's tense mood, he seemed extremely relaxed. After all, he had been a tower keeper for ten years and had never seen any big storms.

Looking at Su Tai, who was still nervous, he joked: "Did you piss your pants, kid? Haha."

"Fuck off!"

Su Tai replied angrily. He stopped talking to this unscrupulous uncle and came to the small window to observe the situation outside.

Only 2 minutes had passed since the big bronze bell rang.

But the black spot that was seen from a distance had already arrived in front of the city gate.

"So fast!"

Su Tai was secretly surprised.

You know, he was observing from a high position just now, and at that time the distance between the two sides was at least 3000 meters.

In other words, the speed of this monster is close to 30 meters per second? !

This is too exaggerated.

Different from the menacing appearance when they arrived, these monsters were now wandering about 50 meters away from the city gate, seeming to feel some kind of threat.

This also gave Su Tai the opportunity to carefully observe their appearance.

The monster is about 1.5 meters tall at the shoulders and more than three meters long. It looks like an enlarged version of the black wolf.At a glance, it doesn't seem to be much different from an ordinary beast.

But after Su Tai observed carefully, he immediately discovered the difference between them and wild beasts.

In addition to their bright red eyes that looked as if they were dripping blood, these strange wolves also had a gray crystal embedded in their foreheads.

At this time, Li Qiusheng's lazy voice came to Su Tai's ears.

"This is a dire wolf, a low-level extraordinary creature. Of course, even low-level creatures are not something ordinary people like us can deal with. Just look at that head and you will know that even if there are ten of you, you will be blind, let alone He said that in addition to his powerful body, dire wolves also have mysterious abilities, burp~"

Turning his head and looking at Li Qiusheng, who had taken out a wine bottle from nowhere and was slurping wine, Su Tai couldn't help but be speechless.

At this time, you actually still want to drink?This heart is really big.

Shaking his head, Su Tai turned his attention back to the dire wolf and asked in confusion.

"Aren't the monsters in the fog afraid of fire? Then why do they appear near the town?"

"Ha~" After swallowing his drink and taking a breath of comfort, Li Qiusheng said nonchalantly: "Who knows, anyway, every winter, there are always some low-level monsters wandering near the city gate."

"The specific reasons are probably only known to those professionals."

"Is that so..."

Su Tai replied and was about to say something else, but a huge roar came from his ears.

A period of wandering made the already violent dire wolves even more frantic. Even though they felt threatened, they still launched an attack horn.

"Roar--"

Under the roar, the accumulated snowflakes spread rapidly to the surroundings, forming a continuously rotating white cyclone.

When the wind and waves subsided, with the dire wolf as the center, it had turned into a bare surface with a radius of nearly ten meters.

The snowflakes accumulated for months suddenly flew away in all directions with a roar.

Su Tai, who was dozens of meters away and hiding in a small dark room, was also confused.

Damn it, this, this, this is too fierce!

Is this thing really something humans can deal with?

Just when Su Tai was shocked, a sudden flame ignited at the city gate attracted his attention.

The flame was bright yellow in color, about half a person's height, and was swaying in the wind and snow, as if it would go out in the next moment.

The appearance of the bright yellow flames made the dire wolves take a few steps back in fear. In the next moment, the flames quickly shot up and ignited upwards of a full three meters.

"Thorn..."

The scattered sparks evaporated the ice and snow into thick white mist.

At the same time, a tall and burly figure stepped out of the thick fog.

He wore dark silver full-body armor, a helmet with only two eye holes on his head, and a long sword at his waist, like a fighting knight who had traveled through the Middle Ages.

"This is a [Warrior] professional!"

Li Qiusheng, who had squeezed in beside Su Tai at some point and was observing the situation outside, said.

"【warrior】?"

"Yes." Li Qiusheng nodded, unable to hide a hint of loneliness in his tone, "If only at the beginning, I could... sigh."

"Brother Li, what abilities does the [Warrior] have?" Su Tai dismissed this sad topic and asked instead.

But it was a good virtue to mention other people's sad past too much, and he always kept it in mind.

"..." Li Qiusheng was a little bored as he didn't have the questions he wanted. Whenever he mentioned this topic over the years, newcomers would always follow up and ask questions, and then he could brag about his glorious past experiences.

This kid doesn't play by the rules.

With a sigh of relief in his heart, Li Qiusheng still answered Su Tai's question.

"If you ask about other professions, I really don't know, but I still know a thing or two about [Warrior]." After a pause, he continued: "[Warrior], as the name suggests, is an extraordinary person who dominates with close combat ability. Professional.”

"They have extraordinary physiques comparable to monsters. They are proficient in one or even multiple weapons. They are the absolute main force in fighting monsters. More importantly, their weapons..."

Before he finished speaking, the dire wolf's roar interrupted his statement, causing Su Tai to turn his attention back to the battlefield.

Dire wolves do not flinch when faced with the sudden appearance of humans. They are afraid of fire, but they never back down in front of living creatures, not to mention that it is just a human.

After roaring, the three dire wolves formed horns and ran towards the warrior. Their speed was as fast as an arrow leaving the string. The distance of 50 meters seemed to be non-existent, and they were close to each other in the blink of an eye.

"So fast!" Even though he had known for a long time that the dire wolf was extremely fast, Su Tai couldn't help but secretly exclaimed after witnessing it with his own eyes.

Putting himself in his shoes, I'm afraid he would be dead and in a different place before he could react.

Facing the menacing dire wolves, the warrior was unhurried and pulled out the long sword at his waist slowly and quickly.

This is a very ordinary long sword with an old-fashioned style and no special material.

But just when the dire wolves stepped within three meters of the warrior, the sword ignited with blazing flames.

Under the shining light of the fire, the long sword turned red.

"Shh-"

In Su Tai's eyes, the fiery red sword light flashed past, like a red lotus in full bloom, and the warrior's figure already appeared three meters away.

When he came back to his senses and looked back, the heads of the three dire wolves had already fallen silently, and the broken parts were charred black with blood still dripping from them.

And Li Qiusheng's voice came slowly at this time: "Their weapons can enchant the flames to cut off the monster's steel body."
