Human, am I evil?

But that's only compared to geniuses like Ying. For people like the Treasure Bandits, Zhiqiong's strength is no longer intimidating to them.

After proficiently using the power of the magic orb, Zhiqiong will not be at a disadvantage even when facing multiple guards of the ruins, or even an abyss mage.

After half an hour of training, Di Ruiji asked Zhiqiong to put down the spear in his hand and take a short rest.

Zhiqiong let out a long breath of relief. Although she was very tired, she was not so tired that she sat on the ground. This was also brought to her by the magic orb.

Her physical fitness is no longer comparable to what she used to be. No matter how hard she used to exercise, she would definitely not be able to reach her current strength.

This is what Di Ruiji brought her. It was like a dream. Not long ago, she was an ordinary girl who was incompetent and only focused on taking risks, but now she has become an adventurer with high combat effectiveness. Such a transformation It was so sudden that she was a little overwhelmed.

"What are you thinking about? You look like you are dreaming, and then you have to pinch your cheek to check if you are dreaming?"

"No...no, I have already experienced pain during the battle just now. I believe that everything that happened in front of me is real, and it doesn't just appear in a dream."

Zhiqiong stood nervously, like a recruit of the Qianyan Army receiving a lecture from an instructor, looking extremely nervous.

She didn't forget why Di Ruiji gave her the magic orb. It was because she was disobedient and worried that she would put herself in danger because of some wayward action, so she gave her the magic orb.

Although the fusion process was somewhat unpleasant, it was a power that other people dreamed of, and it was only possible to obtain it by paying such a price. She believed that many people would be willing to give it a try.

"Why...you choose me? Master Di Ruiji."

Zhiqiong looked at Di Ruiji puzzled: "Obviously I'm not a genius, and we've only met each other for a few days, why give me this chance?"

Di Ruiji raised his eyebrows, took out a water bottle from the storage space and threw it at her: "Don't make up some plots in the novel, I can give it to whoever I want, there are so many reasons."

Embarrassed, Zhiqiong caught the water thrown by Di Ruiji, chuckled a few times, and drank it in small sips.

Although her attitude was very bad, she understood that Di Ruiji hadn't told the truth, and what he just said was not the real reason.

After Zhiqiong took a break, Di Ruiji felt that it was time, and said: "From now on, you will no longer be able to experience the fun of adventure like ordinary people. Because... I will deprive you of it." gone."

"...Huh?" Zhiqiong hadn't reacted yet.

"Since you have the magic orb, you are like the holder of the God's Eye. This is a fake Fire Elemental God's Eye that I got from Dao Wife. I usually wear it on my body so that it will not be seen by others." See that you are different."

Di Ruiji got this false god's eye from Master Zhengsheng. At that time, he created many false god's eyes in order to help Daozuma's god's eye holder escape from the shogunate samurai.

After the Eye Hunting Order ends, those God's Eyes will be useless.

Although it is also possible to sell these God's Eyes, but Di Ruiji was kind to them, so Master Zhengsheng didn't think much about it, and sold them to Di Ruiji directly at the cost price.

It was originally intended to be given to her, but Di Ruiji didn't intend to take advantage of it, so Master Zhengsheng asked Di Ruiji to give him a cost price and asked her to take away all the false god eyes.

"Huh? Ah, thank you."

Flattered, Zhiqiong took the God's Eye thrown by Di Ruiji. It was so delicately made that it couldn't be seen as a fake at all.

You've even thought of a way to hide it? It's really reliable, Di Ruiji.

"Don't be in a daze, talk about your feelings. From now on, you are no longer an ordinary person. Regarding the acquisition of the magic orb, have you ever had any other emotions while being happy?"

Zhiqiong froze for a moment, she didn't expect Di Ruiji to ask her this question, and she didn't know how to answer it for a while.

are you happy?She must be happy, this power will make her future adventures easier and safer.

As for other emotions... maybe there will be, but no one hates getting stronger, does they?Besides, Di Ruiji did this for his own sake, and Zhiqiong would not speak so disregarding the atmosphere.

"Actually...it's okay. The previous remarks are actually a kind of self-comfort. There is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person, but with power, you can do more things you want to do."

Zhiqiong smiled and took out a book from her backpack. It was "Guide to Tivat Playing". It was because of this book that she had a strong curiosity about adventures. She wanted to be like the author of this book, want to Live those wonderful adventure lives.

But she is different from the author. The author uses that ability to do what she wants to do, but she has no ability and is restricted everywhere, unable to do what she wants to do.

She must be more grateful to Di Ruiji in her heart, but there is only gratitude, isn't it?After all, he is Lord Demon God, so how dare you take a look at him.

"Doing more of the things you want to do? Which means... the action becomes more risky, right?"

Di Ruiji showed a dangerous look. She regretted giving this guy a magic orb. This person will definitely become more unscrupulous because of his power. This is not a good thing.

"No... not at all, I don't have that idea at all."

"If it's really not there, why don't you look at me? What are you guilty of? Zhiqiong."

Just like the expression that Ying would show every time she felt guilty, Zhiqiong was obviously not telling the truth, Zhiqiong who was completely seen through could only turn her head to one side, so as not to let Di Ruiji see the guilty look.

"Di Ruiji."

At this time, Shen He, who had left for a while while she was training Zhiqiong, came back.

"I am back."

"Well, welcome back. How's it going? Have you found any clues?"

When they were training, Di Ruiji asked Shen He to look for clues about Lao He, and asked her to look for clues nearby according to the clues of the mushroom in the letter.

"Well, I found a place where several mushrooms appeared, and a huge mushroom appeared in another place. Do you want to look there? Find out if there are any other clues."

In addition to the plants, the mushrooms that Lao He was referring to were alive. They were the kind of mushrooms that had fought with them before, the kind that would spit water and bubbles to lock people inside.

According to the map drawn by Zhiqiong, Shen He has found several similar places. If Lao He cannot be found in those places, then there is really no hope.

"That's it... then let's give up our plan to go deep into the layered rock abyss first, and go find Lao He first, how about it?"

Ying, the captain, suggested that she wanted Zhiqiong to join her, and if she refused, she would spend some time convincing her.

Who would have thought that Zhiqiong agreed very simply, especially when he heard that he was looking for Lao He, Zhiqiong's attitude became even firmer.

"I've heard about Old He from Sister Jinwu. In addition to saving lives, I also ask Senior and Ms. Di Ruiji to train me well, please."

Now besides exploring, she also has a new goal, which is to become stronger, only in this way can she explore more and more dangerous places.

"...Then you have to persevere and don't give up halfway, you know?"

"Well! I will work hard!"

Volume 359: [-]: Zhiqiong weeps with joy

"He is still alive, and quite energetic. I thought that even if he was alive, his physical condition would be poor."

After several hours of searching, everyone finally found Lao He who was hiding here in a hollow tree root.

"Hehe, mushroom meat, are you also people who lack food? Don't be afraid, I will take you to eat mushroom meat. Mushroom meat is delicious."

Lao He acted crazy, but his expression was still friendly, but the mushroom meat in his mouth made people care. Could it be because of those mushrooms that he became what he is now?

Di Ruiji stepped forward to check Lao He's condition, and it didn't take long to know the result. He took out a bottle of potion from the storage space: "This is a soup made of mushroom meat, do you want to try it?"

"Soup made of mushroom meat? Okay... okay, I'm going to try it."

When he heard about the mushroom-made stuff, Lao He drank it without any hesitation, and was still a little dissatisfied after drinking it. He wanted Di Ruiji to give him a few more, but he didn't taste the taste.

"This bottle is enough, and with your current state, it should be effective."

Lao He was still there asking for a new [Mushroom Soup], but it didn't last long, his face changed, and he immediately ran out of this hidden rest area, vomited wildly on the ground, which was mixed with some other colors.

"In this way, most of the toxins in the body should be vomited out. After the vomit is over, he will deal with the mushrooms on his body. After a period of rest, he can recover."

This time Di Ruiji did not directly absorb the toxin from Lao He's body, but let him spit it out by himself in this way. Although there will be some toxin left in this way, this kind of poison is not fatal, and the rest is the old man's body. He's own resistance can be gradually eliminated.

"Is this...the antidote? Di Ruiji."

"It can be said that it contains an emetic ingredient. This kind of medicine is generally used for food poisoning, and those toxins will be decomposed under the stimulation of the medicine effect, and finally spit out."

As he said that, Di Ruiji raised his eyebrows when he saw the mushroom creatures gathering around him.

I don't know how much mushroom meat Lao He ate to attract so many mushroom creatures.

Or, are these mushroom creatures simply wanting to trouble Lao He?After all, Lao He had eaten many of their kind, so he had a grudge against them.

"Leave these monsters to me! I will deal with them!"

Zhiqiong volunteered to take out a spear and rushed forward to fight these mushroom creatures. During the few hours of looking for Lao He, she had already faced many such monsters, and she already knew how to deal with them.

Several people on the sidelines watched Zhiqiong's battle while giving comments.

Ying: "It's not bad. As expected, actual combat is the best training. Zhiqiong's improvement speed is very fast."

Shen He: "Too focused on the enemy in front of me, forgetting to guard against the surroundings."

Di Ruiji: "It's still far away."

Paimon: "You are too strict, I think it is already very good."

Di Ruiji: "Are you comparing yourself?"

Paimon: "Damn (〃>cup<)."

There were so many mushroom creatures, as if they couldn't be beaten, group after group appeared around Zhiqiong.

Zhiqiong, who was manipulating the fire element, did not fall below. She wielded her spear nimbly, killing mushroom creatures one after another.

At this time, Lao He, who had already vomited, raised his head, saw Zhiqiong fighting, and without hesitation took out the giant sword used for self-defense from the hiding point to support Zhiqiong.

Seeing a flash of white light, the mushroom creatures around Zhiqiong were defeated, which startled Zhiqiong, she looked at Lao He in disbelief, obviously he didn't have the eye of God, why is he so powerful?

"You... are amazing, girl. Let's deal with these mushroom meat together. After the end, I will make delicious food for you myself."

"...Um."

Zhiqiong, who was affirmed, showed a bright smile, and cooperated tacitly with Lao He to deal with all the mushroom creatures.

As the battle continued, Lao He's nervous smile gradually disappeared, and his eyes became clear.

The effect of the medicine took effect along with the strenuous exercise, and gradually recovered his consciousness. Although he hadn't fully recovered, he was no longer as crazy as before.

"I... what's wrong with me?"

After the battle was over, Lao He scratched his head in confusion. He glanced at his hiding place, and then at the surrounding environment.

He vaguely remembered that he came here in order to find a stable source of food, and the things behind him were very vague, as if he was drunk, and his memories were all fragmented.

"Old He, what's the matter with you? What happened?"

Seeing Lao He standing there with a blank face, Zhiqiong thought that Lao He had encountered some problems again, and asked.

"I...I'm fine, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Lao He waved his hand to show Zhiqiong not to worry, Zhiqiong was stunned by that normal performance, and Ying and Paimeng who were standing not far away were also taken aback, looking at Di Ruiji one after another.

"Well, it seems that the recovery effect is very good. Next, as long as you stop touching those mushrooms, switch to a normal diet, and rest for a few months, you can recover."

Lao He hasn't realized what's going on, but he can be sure that the girls in front of him were not trapped here with him at the beginning. Judging from their clothes, they should have come to Layer Rock recently. of the abyss.

"You... are you here to look for me? Or is the Layer Rock Abyss open again?"

"Well, the rock abyss has been reopened. We came to you at the request of Sister Jinwu, Lao He."

Paimon briefly explained the reason, and Lao He nodded after hearing this, and said with emotion: "It turned out to be that child Jin Wu. It's really embarrassing for her. I think many people think I'm dead."

"Being trapped alone in the layered rock abyss for several years, normal people would think that you have died here. You are also amazing, and you can persist for such a long time."

This was Paimon's heartfelt praise. Even if she was given enough food to stay on this kind of land for a few years, she would not be able to bear it.

"There's no such thing as a powerful statement. Humans have an instinct to live. Even if I become crazy later, this instinct will not change."

He was able to persevere until now, and it was entirely this instinct that saved him. Of course, if Di Ruiji and his party came a little later, it might not be so.

"Okay, let's stop the gossip first, let's take Lao He back to the camp as soon as possible. I believe Jin Wu will be very happy to see you come back completely."

Paimon clapped his hands happily, Jin Wu's commission was perfectly resolved, they had all planned for the best, but they didn't expect such a surprise.

When they brought Lao He back to the camp, Jin Wu greeted him in surprise.

"Old He, you are still alive, so I knew you must be alive. Your family invited me to dinner at that time. I was very angry at that time, saying that I didn't see the body, what kind of banquet!"

"It's really great that you are still alive. With such a bad complexion, you must have suffered a lot here."

Jin Wu was so happy that he almost cried. This performance made Lao He feel a little embarrassed, so he stepped forward and patted Jin Wu on the shoulder.

"You don't have to do this, I'm living a good life. Although I've worked hard here for several years, it's enough for you to find me."

"Well, when the survey mission of the stratum rock abyss is over, I will go back and talk to your family members so that they can think that you are dead. I guess they have even found a place for you. I have offered incense to you several times."

Because of the invitation to dinner that time, Jin Wu hadn't been in touch with Lao He's family for several years.

Based on Liyue people's habits, it is estimated that even Lao He's position has been found for him, and he will go there every year to defeat him.

She saw that Lao He appeared in front of them alive this time, whether they would turn towards some [ghost] or something, and then go to the exorcist to exorcise the demon at home.

Lao He was a little embarrassed, and believed that as long as he faced this kind of thing personally, he didn't know what to do, and all he could do was smile.
