Zongman: Encounter with the Second Dimension

After discussing with Luo Jing for a long time, Riku, with dark circles under his eyes, was finally driven to rest by Coronet who couldn’t stand it anymore.

Although Riku still had some issues to discuss with Luo Jing, seeing Coronet was about to get angry, he had no choice but to leave the studio, put away the map and go back to his room to rest.

“It seems that your idea of letting Riku get married and have children is still a long way to go.”

Looking at Riku who was forced to leave reluctantly, Luo Jing smiled and teased

“This child has too many things hidden in his heart and has endured too much. I don’t know when he will give up. If he can find a partner to accompany him, maybe he can feel more relaxed.”

Korone suppressed her anger and returned to her previous appearance.

“Marriage can solve the problem. Do all of you parents have similar ideas?”

Luo Jing sighed.

“Because I can’t think of any good solution.”

Korone said distressedly.

Although she is Riku’s sister, she actually relies on Riku to take care of many things.

Riku’s age is only junior high school age in modern times. But at this age, he has to bear the responsibility of the leader of the settlement, and needs to bear the safety of more than 2,000 lives in the settlement.

Every once in a while, he has to see someone die in front of him, and some people are ordered to die by Riku himself.

It is too heavy for an adolescent boy.

What’s more, Riku’s personality is not that kind of cold and ruthless person, but very delicate.

But for the safety of the settlement, he must pretend that anyone’s death is a businesslike attitude, and he can’t even confide his inner trauma to others.

Under the heavy blows, Riku himself has problems

“It will be fine.

Luo Jing was silent for a moment and said

“Don’t comfort me like this, I’m not that fragile.”

Coronet showed a sly smile and said,”But has anyone ever said that your way of comforting people is actually too unskilled, Luo Jing? If you were a little tougher and gave me a warm hug at this time, maybe you could win my heart.”

“I don’t think you are the kind of girl who will be captured by a man just like this.”

Luo Jing chuckled and said,”And I’m not trying to comfort you, I’m just stating a fact.”

“Facts?”

Kronie sighed, without any expectations in her heart, and said:”I hope it will be as you said.”

Luo Jing nodded slightly and said:”Of course.”

As long as the war is over, everything will be better.

In fact, as long as the plot of the original work is followed, the war will be ended by Riku himself.

Judging from Riku’s age, the war will probably be ended in the next few years.

However, such an ending is very tragic.

In particular, now that there is an outsider like Luo Jing, I don’t know if it will cause drastic changes like butterfly wings, causing the plot to deviate from the original.

Luo Jing paused, and under Kronie’s gaze, he said softly:”It won’t be long before someone will come to end this war. After all, it has lasted too long. Both the gods and the gods’ creations must be tired of it.”

“If there is really no one to end it, I will end this battle.”

However, the latter sentence was added by Luo Jing in his mind, and Coronet could not hear it. With the Dimensional Cube in hand and the golden finger by his side, Luo Jing still had some confidence in his heart….

The next day.

At the exit of the settlement cave, more than 20 people gathered. These people were the members who were going to go out to explore.

Beside Luo Jing and Riku, there were ten male humans, all of whom were the best male members in the settlement.

If they were placed in modern society, they would be comparable to special forces soldiers.

Next, they would be divided into three teams and explore in three different directions.

Kronie brought the families of several members of the exploration team to see Luo Jing and others off.

“Everyone, this time we are aiming to find a new settlement, but if you come across materials similar to periscopes, please bring them back, as they will be of great help in the defense of the settlement.”

Riku said to everyone.

“”Go back.”

Luo Jing waved his hand gently, signaling Coronet and the others to return to the cave.

“Luo Jing, Riku, you all must come back safely!”

Korone had a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with worry. She waved goodbye, and the female family members also said goodbye to their husbands reluctantly, saying some caring words.

There was no other sound between heaven and earth except the whistling wind. The strong wind carried the”black ash” everywhere, making the sky dark and the vision was very limited. It became blurry five meters away.

“The weather is not bad.

However, it is only when we encounter such weather that it is the best time for humans to go out and explore.

It is just to hide our tracks as much as possible and reduce the chance of encountering danger.

“”Let’s go.”

As the voice fell, the twelve people were divided into three teams according to the previous arrangement. After leaving the exit of the settlement, they went in three directions.

Facing the black ash in the sky, the raging wind, and carrying the expectations and hopes of everyone in the settlement, the members of the exploration team had no complaints and went non-stop to their respective destinations.

On the endless plain, Luo Jing, Li Ku, Ivan, and a strong man named Ya Lei formed the exploration team, riding horses, moving in one direction with a very clear goal. The so-called horse is actually very different from the horse in the public’s perception.

In appearance, it looks like a small velociraptor, with horns and a beak on its head, covered with hair, as if it is a combination of the three movements of cow, horse and bird. It’s a strange beast.

Although it looks a little strange in appearance, it is one of the few wild beasts in the world that can be tamed by humans.

It has a gentle personality and good endurance, making it the most suitable means of transportation.

Otherwise, on such a vast continent, humans probably can’t walk very far relying on their legs alone.

It has to be said that this world is really against humans.

The fur and hooves of those beasts without wisdom can resist the erosion of [Spirit Skeleton]. As long as the black ash is not allowed to directly enter the eyes and body, there will be no big problem.

On the contrary, if the exposed skin of humans is contaminated by black ash, it will inevitably be corroded by the black ash.

If you want to travel, you must be fully armed, wrap yourself tightly, and try to avoid direct contact with black ash.

“Riku, the wind seems to have died down a bit, is there a place to rest around?”

Yalei said, calming the horse under his crotch.

After running for six hours in the storm and black ash, both the man and the horse under his crotch began to show signs of fatigue.

Now that the”blizzard” began to subside, it would be better to find a place to hide and recover.

Hearing this, Riku took out a yellowed map from his pocket, took a look at it, and put it back in his pocket.

“There is a water source ahead, let’s go there to rest first.”

Under the leadership of Riku, half an hour later, everyone came to a very vast forest area.

This world still has some vegetation.

Because there is a god representing”nature” who is still alive.

The god of the forest elves, Cainas, created the God of the Forest Elves.

This god is a God of the Forest Elves. Born from the concept of”nature”, he needs the vegetation of nature to exist.

Therefore, he will try his best to protect the plants in the world and keep them alive, so as to maintain his existence as a God of the Forest Elves.

The crowd did not go to the water source immediately, but climbed up a towering ancient tree and observed the situation near the water source from a high-altitude perspective.

“There are no wild animals around, so there shouldn’t be any danger.”

After observing for a while and confirming that there was no danger near the water source, everyone bravely went to the water source to rest.

Everyone moved very quickly. After letting the horses drink enough water, they refilled the water bags they carried with them and quickly left the water source.

The strong wind gradually subsided, and the frequency of the”black ash” falling also began to decrease. It is estimated that the”weather” will get better soon.

At that time, the hiding wild animals will come out to drink water and look for food, and the water source will definitely be very lively.

Even some creatures of the sequence race will come out to look for food.

This also means that it is not advisable to rush for the next period of time, as it is easy to expose the target.

“There is a hidden cave ahead, let’s go there to rest for a while.”

According to the records on the map, Riku led everyone to the resting place.

Of course, it is impossible for humans to draw a detailed map with current means.

Most of the maps are obtained from some abandoned instruments of the goblins.

In addition, the hand-drawn drawings of the members who went out were expanded and supplemented with details.

It must be said that the”technology” of the goblins really provided a lot of help to humans.

The location of the cave is indeed very hidden. Judging from the surrounding environment, it should have been a long time since even wild animals have visited it. It is full of black ash and dead leaves and dead trees.

The interior of the cave is relatively spacious, with enough space to accommodate Luo Jing and others and horses.

“Finally, we can take a break.”

First, we drove the horses into the cave, and then we skillfully covered the traces near the cave. Finally, we rested on the horses as if relieved.

In addition to water, the dry food we carried was enough to support us for half a month. In addition to the food for the horses, it was not a problem to hide in the cave for a while.

When the”blizzard” weather outside came again, we could continue on our way.

Everyone took turns to rest, and one person stood at the entrance of the cave to guard against the dangers from the outside world.

“”Riku, something’s happening!”

Ivan took out his telescope and observed the situation in the distance through the gaps between the vines and the rocks at the entrance of the cave.

After a moment, his voice suddenly became serious, and then he lowered his voice and called Riku over.

“What’s wrong, Ivan?”

Following Ivan’s instructions, Riku took the telescope and began to observe, and then his face became very serious.

“Are there any enemies?”

Seeing this, Luo Jing also understood the situation at the moment. If they hadn’t encountered an enemy, the two would not be so serious.

Riku looked calm and didn’t show any panic. He handed the telescope to Luo Jing.

In the distance, large tracts of trees collapsed, as if they were knocked down by something, and some trees had terrible scratches on them.

“Judging from the traces, it doesn’t look like magic caused the damage. The most likely thing is that the beastmen and demons had a battle. And judging from the degree of black ash covering the trees, the battle should have ended in less than half an hour.”

Luo Jing took the telescope, observed for a moment, and made a rough judgment. He has been in this world for half a year, and he has accumulated a lot of similar experience.

“That is to say, we arrived near them right after they finished fighting, and we were in the direction of the fighting…….If we hadn’t chosen to rest just now, we would have run into them.”

Riku added.

Hearing this, Ivan and Yalei felt suffocated, feeling lucky but also a little cold in the blood.

The four of them may have just brushed shoulders with death.

If they had been in a hurry to get on the road, they might have been affected by the battle.

“There is trouble.”

Riku frowned and took out a small dial that looked like a compass from his pocket.

The pointer carved from a special mineral was trembling, emitting a faint fluorescence pointing in a direction.

Just a moment later, the fluorescence dimmed again.

The pointer trembled, glowed and dimmed, and this went back and forth several times.

The thing in Riku’s hand that looked like a compass was an instrument called a spirit needle disk.

It was a small prop that could sense the energy of the spirits, that is, whether there were any activities of the sequence races nearby.

The creations of the gods all have a considerable number of spirits in their bodies.

Generally speaking, the more powerful the sequence race, the more the spirits in their bodies react. The more there are, the greater the reaction of the spirit needle disk.

Specifically, the pointer made of [pyroxene] will emit light and point to the direction of the sequence race creatures.

This is one of the important props for humans to survive in this world. In the absence of interference from [spiritual skeletons], it can sense the arrival of sequence race creatures in advance outside the range of human five senses, thus avoiding being captured.

Now that the”black ash” outside has gradually subsided, the impact on the spirit needle disk has decreased, and its function has also recovered, and it can detect the reaction of the elves.

However, the reaction of the flickering spirit needle disk has become stable and strong.

“I don’t know if it’s a demon or a beastman, but it’s not far from us, and it’s getting closer and closer.”

Riku made a judgment based on the situation of the spirit needle disk.

The detection range of the spirit needle disk is about three kilometers in radius.

That is to say, the creature of that sequence race is now about three kilometers away from them, and is approaching the inner circle.

Whether it is the demon or the beastman, they are all races that include humans in their diet.

Especially the beastman, the five senses are particularly sensitive, the vision is comparable to a telescope, and the sense of smell is strong, and they can find the traces of prey based on the smell.

As for the demon, it is very similar to the demons and monsters in the legend. Although most of them are not very intelligent, they may carry special abilities. It is not surprising that they have sensitive five senses like the beastman.

In other words, once the sequence creatures detected by the spirit needle disk continue to approach, they are likely to find traces of them hiding in the cave.

Even if they have tried their best to erase the traces around the cave, it will not have much effect.

Riku took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked at Ivan and Yale, and said calmly as if he had no emotion:”Next, you may need to act as bait.”

The two of them couldn’t help but hold their breath. They had already realized this, but when they really faced it, their body instinctively made them feel the fear of death. It was just the sense of responsibility in their hearts that made them suppress the fear.

For a moment, the cave fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of the horse’s breathing echoing.

“Let me be the bait this time.”

Luo Jing’s voice broke the silence.
