80. So nervous
The black man was instantly twisted off his limbs by Felder, leaving a body struggling in vain on the ground, not dead, his life was in Felder's hands.
"Let your grass spirit cure my companion's illness, or I'll kill you," Li Yi said impatiently to the black man, "Don't waste my time!" ”
The black man writhed in pain in a pool of blood, his heart was already occupied by fear, he desperately prayed for his life, the more cruel the person, the more afraid of death, he immediately ordered the grass spirit to treat Mani.
"It's a very simple thing, you have to see blood to solve it, you stupid things, sooner or later someone will kill you." Li Yi took Mani, who fell into a deep sleep after being cured, left the club with this sentence, and no one dared to stop him when he left.
Felder cooperated with the stomp on the black explorer's head, shrugged his shoulders, and left with Li Yi.
"How? I'm still somewhat useful! Damn onions, I can't open my eyes when it's smoked! He reported to Li Yi.
"I didn't expect your attack to be very powerful, worthy of the Gol Gong Steel Spirit." Li Yi faintly admired him.
Felder immediately frowned, and his head rarely praised anything, which was a great affirmation of him.
Finding a hotel to stay in, Li Yi bought a topographic map of the nearby mountains, and used various measuring tools to deduce the mountain, these stretches of mountains and gentle extinct volcanoes are the home of the fire demons, and if you are not prepared to venture into the mountains, you will definitely be buried in them.
Just as Li Yi walked out of the Fire Demon Club, a messenger-like person hurriedly entered the back of the hall, followed a hidden spiral underground staircase, and came to a bunker thousands of meters underground, this is a militarized base, the gray corridors are crisscrossed, the walls have been blessed by rock spiritual magic, and the earth and stone have changed their structure and become extremely solid.
The waiter expertly walked through the labyrinthine aisle to a steel arched door, "Mr. Alan, something has happened!" He shouted as he rang the doorbell.
The "boom" iron door slowly opened in the vibration, revealing a bright white light, the floor was paved with white tiles, and a peculiar smell of mechanical grease wafted out.
A long-haired young man with glasses turned gracefully from the workbench, walked up to the waiter with the most orthodox aristocratic steps, supported the frame with his index finger, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"That's the case" The waiter told Li Yi about making a big fuss in the club, and strangely, he told it very objectively, trying to describe it from the perspective of a third party.
"Well, that's a good point, but the little fight between these two children doesn't hinder my plan, but those explorers who capture fire demons, you have to keep an eye on me, don't let them find anything, once some unlucky guy finds out about the abnormality of the volcano, get rid of him secretly, my great plan has been going on for ten years, and now it is about to come to an end, but don't go wrong! When this is done, you will be credited enough to apply for the status of a peripheral member of the Kent family. The young man's voice was melodious and full of the majesty of his superiors, and his every move was full of aristocratic demeanor, as if he had been professionally trained in this field.
"Yes, Mr. Allen!" The waiter bowed his head respectfully and turned to leave.
The young man smiled and turned to face the workbench filled with surveys and mountain models, where a dozen or so prominent experts in academia were working for an unknown project for ten years after they disappeared from the secular world for various reasons and have not been heard from since.
Of course, Li Yi didn't expect the water of the Fire Demon Club to be so deep, and he didn't think that opening the killing ring there was a big deal, and a large number of weak people in the Explorer Realm would die in the battle every day, which was a normal elimination.
Mani slept until she woke up in the middle of the night, she looked at the back of Li Yi sitting at the table holding a pencil to measure and draw, and suddenly asked leisurely: "Am I causing trouble for you?" You've killed a lot of people. ”
"I didn't want to kill so many people, it's all the onions, it smoked Felder's eyes, it him off, he needed a way to vent, and those people happened to be unlucky." Li Yi is telling the truth.
"But if you can stop it, why implicate so many innocent people?" Mani suddenly felt chills, so many people who were still talking alive just now, drinking and gambling money, after a while, they became corpses all over the place, their lives were dissipated like this, maybe their parents, wives and children were still waiting for them to come back from afar, that was the only support of these poor people, but because of Felder's anger, this insignificant reason, how many families were broken, how many wives lost their husbands, how many children were born without fathers, what a cruel thing!
"The reason why I don't stop it is that they deserve to die, because silence is sometimes cowardice, cowardly watching that black man commit crimes, and even have the urge to possess you in my heart, this is a crime, if you are guilty, you deserve to die, maybe you grew up in a greenhouse, you didn't suffer any pain, if you fall into the hands of that black man, it is definitely better to live than to die, I think the less human beings have this kind of thing, the better, because as long as they have power, they despise morality, and after satisfying their desires, they will produce new desires, which are endless." Li Yi shook his head and continued: "If you don't agree with my statement, you can leave here and live a beautiful life woven with imagination, without darkness and shadows, how good!" ”
Mani was silent, she knew that what Li Yi said was right, but how good it would be if she could solve all this without bloodshed, why would those men want her body like beasts? Even if she was reluctant, why is morality so degraded now?
"You don't need to sigh anything, this world is not something you can control, keep sleeping, you will have a job tomorrow morning." Li Yi glanced back at Mani.
"One last question, I'll go to sleep, what are you getting stronger for?" Mani hurriedly asked, leaning back into the futon, revealing two beautiful eyes.
"I don't know, I just know that if I continue to be weak, then I will suffer humiliation and pain, that's all."
It was very early in the morning, there was a heavy fog outside, dense as the steam of boiling water, Mani had just recovered from a serious illness, and his body was still very weak, Li Yi asked the innkeeper for some medicine to replenish qi, stewed a pot of broth for her to drink, and her complexion looked better.
They went out of the city, bought a wagon, and headed out into the mountains. The fog in the mountains is thinning and the temperature is rising, but the soft and thick volcanic soil gives birth to many rubber trees and palms, which are still vigorous during this season, and the inhabitants of the surrounding city-states cut rubber here and sell it to all parts of the mainland.
"There are one hundred and twenty-seven volcanoes here, of different sizes, they are like stars guarding the largest one-San Andes Volcano, the San Andes Volcano is inhabited by gold-level fire demons, where blatantly hunting their kind is definitely an act of seeking death, we can only do it in the small volcanoes around, and these fire demons are all in groups, each group has more than a hundred, because the fire demons have wings, the shape is similar to an eagle falcon, they are found and besieged and it is difficult to fly," Li Yi explained the background of the hunt to Mani, "You just need to follow me and don't make a sound." ”
"Uh-huh, I'm so nervous!" Mani finds this a very exciting thing.
"Your jellyfish can improve the quality of forty percent by cleaning the eyes of the fire demon with gentle water-based spiritual power, so the remuneration I give you is twenty percent, that is, you have twenty percent of your share in the eyes of the fire demon in each lesson, understand?" Li Yi explained.
"I don't want to be paid, I just need to stay with you!" Mani hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"If you don't want to be paid, we won't have an employment relationship, and you won't have a reason to stay." Li Yi doesn't like to take other people's things for nothing.
Deftly climbing the tree, Li Yi used a telescope to observe the top of the volcano in front of him, where a group of fire demons lived, so far, he had not seen a real fire demon, and some speculations about their habits had to be confirmed. Adult fire demons are at least at the green level, they have bright blood-red feathers, these feathers have been crystallized by the flame spiritual power, like carved crystals, their abdomen is fat, they have four feet covered with scales, their wings spread out to be five meters long, and their hook-like beaks are very sharp, able to pierce through iron and stone, and they are extremely fierce.
Slowly approaching this group of fire demons, Isabella used an illusion to conceal their aura, at five hundred meters, Li Yi stopped, there was no danger here, because it was impossible for the fire demons to perceive them from five hundred meters away, behind a sea buckthorn, Li Yi asked Felder to dig a pit in the ground where volcanic ash had accumulated.
"That's it, just wait for the greedy fire demon to come to the door now!" Li Yi arranged everything, and let Alger, who was good at concealment, lurk near the fire demon group with more than a dozen green-level spirit crystals, and then threw them in the hidden rock crevices one by one, so that they were thrown all the way to the sea buckthorn that Li Yi was ambushing.
"Will they take the bait?" Mani asked nervously.
"Of course, in the face of interests, no matter how smart a person is, he will be blinded, let alone a fire demon? You see, how they brought about their own destruction. Li Yi was confident, hiding behind sea buckthorn and observing with a telescope.
Sure enough, a fire demon found the green-level spirit crystal in the rock crevice, it first pretended not to see it, looked around for a while, and made sure that it was the only one who accidentally found this secret, so it jumped over with an arrow step, stretched out its mouth to peck at the spirit crystal, and then continued to pretend to be a lazy walk looking around, today its luck is particularly good, and it found another piece! In the same way, it secretly took possession of it, it was great to enjoy the delicious food behind its companions, it tasted good to eat alone, it ate one by one, and unconsciously came to the sea buckthorn, although it knew that it would be dangerous to be out of the group, but the large amount of spiritual power contained in the green-level spirit crystal made it completely forget about these, anyway, it was only five hundred meters away from its companions, even if it was in danger, a scream could make them rush to the rescue.
"Whew!" Felder's powerful arm reached out from behind the sea buckthorn and grabbed the fire demon's head, and before it could sound the alarm, Alger pierced its head.
"Destroy the brain with the smallest wound, so as not to attract the fire demon group with too heavy the smell of blood," Li Yi lifted the fire demon's foot and poured out the green spirit crystal in his stomach that had not yet had time to digest, "In such a short time, it can't even digest the spirit crystal, I'm just an empty glove white wolf." ”
The fire demon eyes were taken out, and Mani asked her jellyfish to clean the jewel-like eyes with water-based spiritual power, and Li Yi used a box with ice cubes to store them.
After squatting for a day, Li Yi not only harvested hundreds of Fire Demon Eyes, but also a sack of Fire Demon Meat with feathers and internal organs removed, their flesh was very tough, containing a large amount of flame spiritual power, which was inedible for humans, and only the ancient steel spirit with steel teeth and iron stomach like Feld could be used.
"With these fire demon jerky and a large number of spirit crystals, I'm going to try to use devil stones for mutation, with a sixty percent probability, it's going to be lucky." Felder felt that his accumulation was enough, and he was ready to make a mutation and raise his qualifications by a large margin.
"However, your mutation requires huge spiritual power to change the essence of your body, and your strength will also drop significantly, and it is estimated that you will fall to the middle and lower levels of the blue level, however, if the mutation fails, you will be able to impact the green level with this power." Li Yi analyzed.
"Yes, I prefer mutation rather than impact to the green level, in fact, for advanced types of spirits such as ancient spirits and mutant spirits, the richer the accumulation in one stage, the more spiritual power will be absorbed by breaking the shackles when impacting the next stage, so I have to get stuck until the spiritual power is saturated, my spiritual power is now saturated, and I have the conditions to hit the green level, but the mutation is so tempting that I have to give up and start accumulating again." Felder gritted his teeth and chewed on the fire demon meat, making a crunchy sound.
"What are you talking about? Variation? Mani suspected she had misheard.
"You heard me wrong." Li Yi replied coldly, the sun was about to set, and the sunset covered half of the sky, gorgeous and charming.
The carriage was tied to a rubber tree not far away, and Li Yi and the others were hungry and were about to go back for a hearty dinner.
Suddenly, from behind the carriage came a sneaky man, dressed in a coat sewn in leather, with strange embroidery on his chest, a jug hanging from a cowhide belt around his waist, and a knife pinned to him.
This man looked to be forty or fifty years old, with slightly gray hair and many lines carved on his face by the years, and he was a local rubber picker who worked hard in exchange for food.
"Who are you?" Li Yi stopped and asked.
"Dear Explorer, I am Sean who picks rubber here for a living," the rubber picker did not dare to slack off because of Li Yi and Mani's young age, and said respectfully: "My son is sixteen years old this year, and he suddenly can sense the existence of spirits one day, and I ask Lord Explorer to bring him to study in the Explorer Academy, please!" ”
After speaking, the old father suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded with Li Yi in this way.
"Ridiculous!" Li Yi was furious, ignoring Sean, who was begging on the ground, and went straight to the carriage.
Mani was caught off guard by this series of changes, she sat next to Li Yi, her eyes widened and asked, "Why don't you help him?" He's begging you so much! ”
"Put away your boring sympathy! After ordinary people wake up, as long as they report to the senate of the local city-state, the high-level of the city-state will quickly escort them to the academies of the major major cities for assessment, why do you want me to send his son to the academy? Don't you think it's weird? Your head is like a blank sheet of paper. Li Yi drove towards the city.
