Chapter 49

Lei was hurt by Sui Xiong's hellish questions. He thought about it very seriously, and the more he thought, the more he became more distressed, and he could never think of an answer that would satisfy himself.

So this night, he had insomnia.

Of course he didn't know that the questions raised by Sui Xiong were carefully created by some people in the online world on Earth, designed specifically to let readers experience the "malice of the world". Not to mention that he is a robber from another world, even scholars from the earth often feel sad when facing such questions and cannot think of a perfect answer.

The next day, when Sui Xiong was planning to discuss with him about the world and life, Lei directly tore two balls of rags and stuffed his ears to show his determination to not cooperate.

Sui Xiong could of course easily snatch the two rags away, but since they are unwilling to discuss such a topic, why should he make himself bored? The forced melon is not sweet, and he has no intention of forcing people to do things by force.

But some things can be avoided, while others cannot.

For example, save people.

When it was getting late that day, they saw that it was already very close to the edge of the Graystone Mountains. While camping, they heard the sound of fighting and asking for help.

According to Lei's plan, he wanted to continue moving forward even if he had to go to the night, he had to leave the Graystone Mountains and camp. But they were unlucky to encounter a cliff. Sui Xiong used a reconnaissance spell and determined that it would take nearly a day to bypass the cliff. If he temporarily created a bridge, he might not be able to go anywhere. When Sui Xiong was too lazy to help build the bridge, Lei had to choose to go around in circles, so the distance increased greatly, and he had to sleep in the mountains again.

Lei was not afraid of sleeping in the open. It had reached the edge of the Graystone Mountains. In theory, there would be no monsters. Even if there were, it was mostly a defeated soldier who escaped after losing battles in the depths of the mountains. These days he was marching in the deep mountains and killed many powerful monsters, let alone these weak chickens! It was just a waste of death and let him get a bargain.

But he was really tired of the environment in the mountains. Regardless of the poisonous snakes and beasts, the endless poisonous insects alone made him feel troubled. Even if he had insect-proof medicine, he didn't have to worry about being bitten. Just the buzzing sound of the night was so annoying!

In addition, before going to bed every day, Sui Xiong would always talk to him about his ideals and life, which made him even more annoyed.

Sui Xiong no longer talks about those awkward questions that make people mess up, but just talks to him seriously about topics such as "The most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to each person only once..." or "A person has a big or small ability, but as long as he has this spirit..."

These topics made him feel heavier, and even made him feel more uncomfortable than those painful problems. But he could not avoid such topics, because it would make him feel weak inside.

However, discussing these topics before going to bed will obviously affect the quality of sleep. In addition, those "you just finished singing and I will appear" bugs that kept chattering, causing him to sleep almost every day and his mental state to deteriorate.

So he is very looking forward to walking out of the mountains and entering the territory of the Gold Coin Federation as soon as possible. There will definitely be some people there. At that time, perhaps this jellyfish god who is quite popular with life mentors will shift his target to others, so that he can at least have a safe sleep.

Even if this hateful jellyfish god still pestered him to ask questions and discuss those too profound questions, at least there would be no noise bugs!

But, not today.

So Lei was in a bad mood, so when he heard the sound of fighting and help coming from a distance, he didn't want to worry at all.

"Someone is in danger." Sui Xiong said.

"Yes." He took out the blanket and planned to wrap himself up and sleep while he was a little tired after eating and drinking.

"Don't you want to save them?" Sui Xiong asked.

"I don't want to." Lei replied, and he was about to lie down.

Sui Xiong jumped quickly onto his head and pressed a tentacle against his temple.

The tentacles were cold and harsh, and they felt extremely sharp, which made Lei couldn't help but suspect that a hole would be drilled into his head in the next second, and red and white inside would flow out.

"You...what do you want to do!" he was startled and asked loudly.

"Help you correct your thoughts." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "There is too much filth and evil in your mind, I'll help you draw some out."

Lei was shocked and hurriedly retorted: "Before that, my brain will be pulled out!"

"It's okay." Sui Xiong said, "What you want to gain is what you have to lose. This principle of equivalent exchange is a common principle in the world. Do you think it's cost-effective to exchange a little brain to exchange for kindness and peace?"

"I don't think it's cost-effective at all! I don't want any hellish kindness and peace!" Lei protested loudly.

"Opposition is ineffective! For the evil one, isn't it natural for the powerful to have the final say?"

"...I understand, I'll save those people!"

Sui Xiong laughed and took back his tentacles: "A wise choice, do this earlier, so everyone will save trouble."

Lei smiled bitterly, hooked the spear on his back, inserted the sword into the scabbard around his waist, checked the equipment again, then took a step and ran quickly towards the place where the fight and cry for help came.

He was powerful and after this period of trekking, he was already very accustomed to walking in the mountains. He jumped step by step like a monkey jumping between rocks and trees. It took only a while to reach the place where the sound came.

In a forest, four adventurers were fighting fiercely with a giant bear, which was at least two tall.

It is said to be fierce battles, but it is actually better to say it is one-sided defense and beating. The giant bear has very strong power and excellent defense. Although it reacts a little slower, it protects its key points well, leaving adventurers with no opportunity to take advantage of it.

The four adventurers were not old, and the two were in charge of frontal battles with armor, and those who were about twenty-four or twenty were wandering around and tried to restrain them with bows and arrows. The one who was about twenty years old was just over twenty years old. The one who was lying on a tree and using spells to provide assistance was even less than twenty years old. She was called a group of young people.

Young people often mean lack of sufficient exercise and growth, and lack of strength. Young adventurers have the highest mortality rate because they lack experience and often cannot avoid dangers - and those dangers, experienced adventurers are mostly able to avoid them.

For example, if the giant bear that was fighting them was an old world like Rhodes and Rennes, they would probably throw a piece of fresh meat at it, throw some in a mess while it was eating meat, and then slowly retreat. Or they would even prepare some sweets and put them on the top of the trunk, and leave while the giant bear competes with the big tree.

Most bears in this world are a bit lazy and sweet-loving. When they have easy-to-get food, they are generally unwilling to risk being injured to fight fully armed adventurers. If sweets are in front of you, you don’t have any weapons and turn around and run wildly, as if you are "I am prey", they are mostly too lazy to pay attention to you.

But these young people obviously don't know these experiences or lack corresponding preparations. So they can only fight against the giant bear with their bodies that have not yet grown strong enough.

The chance of winning such a battle is slim. The giant bear has almost grown to the peak of a "bird" and has to step into the category of "war beasts". If you want to convert to adventurers, at least a team of veteran adventurers with good configuration and sufficient supplies - probably the level of Gerald and his partners who were named "Bald" Neon back then - can be sure to kill all the members without serious injuries.

In Sui Xiong's view, in the Skeleton Night in Baiye Village, Gerald, who was invincible in the skeleton group with a battle axe in his hand, could probably defeat one or two of them in one fight, and the rest would be injured.

It is obvious that they could not defeat the giant bear at all. The reason why there have not been any casualties so far is that the team is well matched and has a certain ability to withstand pressure.

The two who were responsible for the front were warriors and the other was a priest, all wearing heavy armor and holding shields. The sturdy armor helped them a lot and rescued them from the crisis more than once. And with the help of the heavy armor, the priest could also take time to pray from time to time, perform a magic trick to restore their strength to their companions or themselves.

In addition, the mage's spells also played a significant role. Although there are no advanced spells, just simple shield technique, missile technique, slippery technique, blur technique, etc., the young mage has a good grasp of the timing of casting spells, so he can help every time.

In other words, they are constantly consuming the team's spell casting ability to destroy the giant bear's physical strength.

Well, it's just physical strength. Because so far, the giant bear has not been injured at all.

If this continues, the ending will be obvious - after exhausting mana, these four young men will be completely unable to withstand the giant bear's attack. At that time, perhaps the shooter can escape, and one of the warriors and priests can escape, but at least one of the two must be left, and the mage who is not very flexible, will definitely be doomed.

Lei lurked near the battlefield, watching their battle quietly, but was not in a hurry to take action.

"Don't you save people?" Sui Xiong used spells to convey his words to his mind.

Lei shook his head gently and answered with the help of temporary spiritual communication: "They can still hold on until the time comes."

"When they can't hold on, they will be seriously injured."

"It's not that serious, I'll take action before that - for these young people, the experience of fighting to the last minute is precious and can effectively help them grow up."

Sui Xiong did not urge him anymore. Lei was an expert on the issue of risk. Since he said that it would be better for these young people, Sui Xiong chose to believe him.

What's more...even if he really refuses to save people, Sui Xiong can still take action himself at the critical moment.
