Chapter 118: I'm Too Hard
It is obviously not difficult to leave the Kingdom of Katyn from the Holden area, after all, this is a frontier land, or that kind of land is sparsely populated, and there is a lack of enough border guards on the border.
However, Zhao Wenrui did not go west to the slave trade line from Qiuzhai to neighboring countries, but went north into the vast mountains.
If the shadow plane gives him a sense of intimacy on his own farm, then the wilderness is like a township where the market is located for him, although he can't catch the market a few times a year, but over the years, there will still be a kind of familiarity that is different.
Like many of his peers, Zhao Wenrui, whose psychological age is no longer young, has become deeper and more introverted, but also more delicate and rich.
From the perspective of today's age, it is really a unique feeling to taste the 'taste of youth not knowing sorrow'. Zhao Wenrui feels that compared with the passion of the surging torrent when he was young, the current relationship is more like a trickling stream, small but long-lasting, even if it freezes in winter, there are clear traces.
So with a feeling of nostalgia, Zhao Wenrui embarked on the road back to the north.
He felt that the word 'return' was appropriate.
Although the real situation is just that after parting for a long time, he changed from farming at home to farming in neighboring provinces other than his own province, during which he triggered a little bit of big and small things, but he still felt that there was a little bit of emotion of returning to his hometown.
However, it soon turned out that this emotion was superficial and even hypocritical. Because it wasn't long before he set foot on the land of the God's Death Wasteland again, he couldn't stand it anymore.
It's like a graceful little sister-in-law in my memory, and a Russian aunt with a bucket waist when I say goodbye.
Zhao Wenrui found that he couldn't stand the ubiquitous malice of the Divine Wasteland, the hunger and thirst for life force and spiritual energy that was not disguised at all, just like waking up on the sofa in the middle of the night, and then facing the harsh and piercing snowflake screen TV, which made people very irritated.
Of course, there is also the characteristic 'Devil's Grab': in the eerie faint sound of telepathy playing directly in the human mind, the shadow of the devil's claw steps on the rhythm and grabs at the campfire, if the campfire is caught......
Zhao Wenrui also took it, in order to kill these shadow claws, in the past, he desperately dropped his san value, all the way hard, and he shrank into the darkness and disappeared.
But this approach, in a way, is more like taking the initiative to bribe the Shadow Claw with spiritual energy to make it stop. After all, the san value of the wild drop can be seen as a deep loss of spiritual energy.
Now he naturally has a better countermeasure, after all, as long as he is willing to farm steadily, then the professional growth will not be an improvement in rank.
That's just the most obvious and significant part, and there is also the part that works silently, that is, the overall improvement of professional knowledge.
The make-up class has alleviated the problem of depth and breadth caused by the helpless and hasty upgrade to a certain extent.
The benefits are often reflected in the details.
Like this Shadow Claw, he can even use some of his power to bind it, and use it as a stimulant for the Shadow Demon who has combined the Soul of Pain at a critical moment.
He already knew that the nature of this shadow claw was a twisted divine power, and with his current power, he was powerless to wear out or transform this transcendent power.
But it can be restrained and imprisoned by consuming a certain amount of power every day.
Once this power is released and used against the Soul of Pain, it will cause the Soul of Pain to lose its spiritual energy, causing it to explode in pain, thus achieving the purpose of temporarily going berserk and increasing its combat power.
But even with such a profit, even if he originally planned to take a look at the sanctuary under Huishan City and harvest some grievance crystals by the way, he finally chose to turn and leave.
He could not bear the constant erosion of this land, and he found that the stronger the person, the more harassed he would be in this land.
Unless the power can overwhelm the distorted divine power of the Divine Wasteland, there is no room for a soul in the mortal world who controls such a majestic power.
Therefore, this land is simply a cursed land of transcendentals, and it is the gods who issue this curse, and there is more than one person, who have merged with this heaven and earth to a certain extent after their death, thus forming this special curse.
Head back south and re-enter the barren mountains in a snowy night.
Zhao Wenrui and his puppet minions escaped from the shadow plane.
Human habits are not so easy to change, and the shadow druids are amphibians, and the shadow plane is by no means a habitable environment, so if he can, Zhao Wenrui still prefers to camp in the real world, just like a conventional submarine surfaces for ventilation.
His current belongings are five carts, 24 skull beasts, 60 shadow demons, and some strange creatures as regular reconnaissance units, always accompanied by him for his drive.
For example, a ghost-faced owl with a hideous face and rotten feathers can easily be mistaken for an undead creature, but it is not. After taming, he is very obedient and smart enough, and the only problem may be wildness.
This problem actually exists in all wild animals, but the animals that accompany him are eroded by the power of shadow day and night, and have a certain tendency to blacken, which is more savage and ferocious.
Regarding the concept of 'wildness', Zhao Wenrui has not fully adapted to it until now.
The main reason is his personality problem.
He is a city man who grew up in modern society, and before he participated in the extraordinary adventure, the three views were basically fixed, and he was affected by environmental factors including various intuitive and non-intuitive education, and there was a certain degree of cognitive bias in the wilderness.
It's like a lot of people who come into contact with darkness through film and television dramas or scripts, and think that those glorified violence, darkness and gore are cool, very individual, and very stylish.
Of course, there is a difference in degree. After all, the deity had also watched Bei Ye's survival series back then, and participated in some outdoor activities that set foot in the wilderness, and this human doppelganger has the memories of a soldier made up by C Kane based on what he saw and heard in the reincarnation period, and his understanding of the wilderness is much deeper than that of ordinary people in the city.
But that's not enough. The main thing lacking is the otherworldly wilderness information that modern Orientals call the 'Flood Wilderness'.
It can be said that the wilderness that modern people see has basically been tamed by humans.
In modern times, there is no land area on Earth that has not been set foot by humans. Many wild animals, in order to adapt to the objective environment of human beings in a hegemonic position rampaging on the earth, have begun to change their work and rest rules, and even learn how to survive by selling cuteness.
This is also the main meaning of the existence of the concept of 'flood famine', which distinguishes the truly wild nature from the nature that modern earthlings are familiar with.
At the same time, it also distinguishes between the true wildness and the so-called wild untamed that people are familiar with.
Zhao Wenrui was very troubled by the 'wildness' for a while because of the past experience of modern earthlings, after working as a druid.
Later, he thought of some small stories that were inextricably linked to him, and gradually understood the differences.
The short story is roughly divided into two time points.
1 was when he was little. He remembers that urbanization was not as great as it was later, not to mention the suburbs, even in the urban areas, there were dirt roads everywhere, and desolate and open places, such as the warehouse area of a factory and the corner of a school.
At that time, there were still some strange things around me, of course, it was not a climate, it was nothing more than frightening and sick, at most it was crazy, and once it was carefully studied, it could often be explained by science.
But I have to say that this kind of divine chatter, combined with the abandoned house in a remote place, left him with the concept of transcendent 'desolation'.
The concept was largely discarded in the years that followed. One is that young people tend to be rough and unwilling to ponder repeatedly, and are easily attracted by fresh and exciting content, such as falling in love or playing video games.
Again, things that happen around you and are familiar with them are always easy to ignore. For young people, those godly things, just like people from mountain villages who are indifferent to the activity of 'going green', really don't pay much attention to it, unless they hit the evil spirit.
But in fact, no, not to mention that there is no certainty, even if there is, in the context of people's retreat, this is also a small probability situation, about the level of the welfare lottery jackpot. Don't think about it as an ordinary person.
The real re-translation of this concept is still more and more accustomed to thinking and deliberation later.
This is the second point in time, adulthood.
In due course, even a lot of arable land has been taken up by the general trend of urban expansion, not to mention any abandoned factories and school buildings, which are all money, and people like money, and no one thinks they have a lot of money.
Lined buildings, prosperous popularity, looking for some green open space, can only go to high-end residential areas or botanical gardens and the like, all of which are exquisite artificial scenery, where there is any wilderness.
But the rise of the internet has allowed people to watch the world from the comfort of their homes.
So Zhao Wenrui saw some scenery of other countries dominated by lighthouse countries. The worship of the strong is an instinct engraved in the genes of human beings, and even the state has learned and imitated it in various ways, let alone individuals.
Of course, as a self-proclaimed sane man, he is not fanatical about this, but just wants to understand. These include culture, customs, and anecdotes about the gods and gods.
In addition to checking the information available on the Internet, another is through American dramas. Drama comes from life, although the story of American dramas is fake, many monster settings and even jokes are adapted from folklore, rather than the screenwriter coming up with it. It's not that I can't think of it, but quoting folklore, which is more down-to-earth and easy to resonate with the audience.
The key point that Zhao Wenrui pays attention to is not how bizarre the story is, how scary the monsters are, and not to prove the existence of strange monsters. Rather, it is to compare the commonality of strange legends between China and foreign countries.
More deeply, it is by understanding and contrasting the background of such strange stories to better understand the concept of 'desolation'.
As a result, some patterns were indeed summarized, such as the vast land and sparsely populated population, the lack of sufficient tools, and the feeling of loneliness and powerlessness in the face of nature......
All in all, 'famine' is equal to 'panic' at some point, and then it's basically scaring yourself.
So why panic? Because wild.
Untamed, unordered, with low control, and even far from understanding.
So the wilderness and the wild are closely linked, representing the other side of nature that people don't know, that is unpredictable, and that cannot be evaluated.
In ancient times, the proportion of such unknown parts was higher, so it appeared more 'wild' and mysterious, such as miasma, dengue fever, malaria and other diseases that are common in tropical jungles.
And in an extraordinary world like the Great Astral Universe, 'desolation' is even more severe in the eyes of human beings, because of the combination of supernatural power with animals and plants, and because of the evil things transformed by the gods and their followers who die without stiffness.
Since nature is so 'wild', what kind of 'wild' method should the druids who fully embrace nature be?
In the Origin World, the druids originated from the early Celts, and human sacrifice was one of the rituals they used to please nature. Using vegetation, animals, and insects in nature to deal with enemies is also their main research.
They are even anti-civilization and anti-human, because they find that the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency of more than loss, so if there are more carnivores and less grass-eaters, they will kill meat, and vice versa, they will kill grass-eaters, and the key concept is 'balance', in order to balance, if there are too many people, it endangers the balance of supply and demand in nature, then kill people.
This is not an evil opinion, but it has nothing to do with good, but it is certain.
In the transcendent world, this characteristic has been intensified, after all, the existence of extraordinary power itself has increased the intensity and intensity of various struggles.
To sum up, Zhao Wenrui gradually realized that the druid's wildness was more ruthless and cruel than he originally thought. It's a joke to think of a druid as an eco-friendly gardener with a love for animals and a lot of expertise.
For human beings, the real nature is not lovely at all, but murderous, dangerous and wild.
Correspondingly, Drew's wildness is also characterized by this, and not just the dirty, tattered, dirty, animal feces, and sweaty Atuber.
So what about the wild state of Shadow, who is darker than the average druid, De?
Zhao Wenrui can't say the details, but there are still big concepts.
I have to say that he really can't accept it if he really makes him like that. This is just like the werewolf in his impression, it should be a monster who dares to love and hate, is reckless enough, is self-disciplined in peacetime, and heroic in wartime, rather than crazy and bloodthirsty, even if he is not hungry, he hunts wantonly and tastes the pleasure of killing.
He felt that it was not his fault, but a subtle distortion of the relevant information that had been repeatedly instilled in the past.
As the saying goes: the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
That's what a druid does.
Before taking office, he firmly believed that between man and beast, the druids were more human-oriented, and the sign was that they could think rationally.
And now, he realizes that the 'pure taste' druid is more inclined to beasts, he is a tool of nature, and it can also be understood that he has been successfully brainwashed by the Heavenly Dao, and strides on the path of 'everything for balance'.
Of course he can be a non-mainstream druid, and he still has this freedom. But just as pan-believers who do not believe in God's teachings will not be cared for by God's father, praying for enlightenment often depends on God's mood at that time.
He has a golden finger, which has improved this predicament to a considerable extent, but from the root point of view, he belongs to the kind of people who do not believe in God but want to take advantage of God, God is not a fool but a shrewd businessman, and customers like him are not welcome. This is a problem after all, and it becomes more and more prominent as you level up.
In addition, level 16 professionals already need the warm-up law to pave the way for the legend.
Generally speaking, the law chosen by the warrior is always closely related to the extraordinary strength attribute he masters, so he roughly said that he should take the path of shadows, and as for which law is the main one, he can slowly screen.
But now, he has problems such as unstable beliefs, and even has a tendency to betray the way of nature, and the choice of the law of the shadow class seems to be a bit dead. In case the future changes, there is no place to cry. But with this non-mainstream attitude, the door of the legendary druid will not be open to him at all.
Bother!
Especially in the wilderness of the mountains, he was even more upset by the fact that nature showed him the true face of the wild in detail. It's like facing a bunch of parents who talk about the importance of learning all day long in middle school.
And in the shadows, through indirect means, C Kane, who has done his best to promote such a situation, showed a wicked smile.
A strong will is never achieved overnight, and Zhao Wenrui's most important lesson is actually in this regard.
Now, his series of doubts have shaken the foundation of the transcendent combat position, and the situation can be said to be very bad, after all, the transcendent power is his happiness and survival, and the support and dependence of survival, without these, he is just an ordinary person who can't hold on to even a day, and he will freeze to death.
So, do you choose to die after being free, or do you live after giving in to the rules?
And again, he had a reason not to face the choice and avoid the chaos.
The wilderness is too cold, the city is warm, the piston exercise is very refreshing, drinking to relieve fatigue and relaxing, and then using some psychotropic drugs, half-asleep and half-awake, what do you think......
