Chapter 593 Extra: First meeting

Author: Nero 2077

"Monster?"

In a tent in the military camp, Zhou Li, who was talking to Eluma, raised his head in surprise. He looked at Loka with a solemn expression on the side and asked in disbelief: "A monster appeared in Tarik?"

"That's right."

Loka, dressed in adventurer costume, pulled the translucent goggles to his forehead, sat cross-legged, and said in a deep voice: "Three days ago, when I was collecting snowfall data in the northern mountains, I found a cow deer with a purple head. It is not very strong, only about gold. But it can release a strange purple miasma. Once I touch it a little, I feel powerless and irritable at the same time."

"The devil breathes..."

Zhou Li frowned and said a word. After a moment of thinking, he asked, "Have you killed that bull and deer? Have you brought it back?"

“That’s the key to the problem.”

Loka took out a thickened camera rune and tapped it gently. A white paper engraved with magic appeared in front of Zhou Li. "After this monster was killed by me, the body of the corpse collapsed and dissipated by itself. It took less than three minutes. This is a magical photo I printed, please take a look."

Zhou Li took the photo and looked at the contents on it with Eluma. On the white paper, a hideous and terrifying purple body was lying on the snow and ice. The deer head, which could vaguely recognize its original appearance, was covered with tilted bones and deformed skin. When Eluma saw this photo, a hint of horror flashed in her eyes.

Zhou Li, who was standing aside, noticed Eluma's emotions, and he stretched out his hand and landed gently on the other party's shoulder, which calmed down Eluma's originally panicked mood a little more. She looked at Zhou Li, nodded slightly, and then whispered:

"Yes, this is the demon who has infected the Breath of the Devil."

After a brief silence, Zhou Li sighed, put down the photo, and said to Loka:

"Notify Mr. Helining."

"We have to face more than just Jingwei now."

Demon, a strange and bloodthirsty creature.

This kind of creature has never appeared in the history of the Gaia Continent. In other words, before Zhou Li confirmed this creature as a brave person as a real existence, everyone regarded the demon as a legendary monster. Of course, they were not wrong, because before Zhou Li appeared, the demon did exist only in the legend.

However, when Zhou Li just came to this world, a demon named "Lin Gui" stared at him. At the same time, the existence of the creature Lin Gui told Zhou Li.

Zhou Li still cannot forget that on that night, a man holding a longbow slaughtered the family that took in Zhou Li. Whether it was the boss who took in him and Eluma, the three-year-old child, or the cook who often added a piece of meat to Zhou Li's bowl, they were all tragically attacked by the demonic monster.

Lin Gui stood on the roof at that time, looking down at Zhou Li from a high place, looking down at the boy who was frightened by the flying flesh and blood. He used a harsh voice to tell Zhou Li that the demon would always be with him until he killed him.

It was also that night that Zhou Li had a complete enlightenment. He understood that this world is not a world where you can read the file in the game and repeat it. Death is a complete death.

That night, Zhou Li, who had been stuck in the bronze level, directly advanced to the silver, took out the long sword given to him by the village chief and defeated Lin Gui. After burying everyone in the family, Zhou Li and Aluma went to various parts of the small country, hoping to find Lin Gui to avenge himself. In the end, Zhou Li relied on the lead snake out of the cave to lead Lin Gui out and kill him.

However, at that time, Zhou Li always believed that the "demons will always be with you" in Lin Gui mean that Lin Gui can be reborn or transformed into a wronged soul. But when Loka told Zhou Li that a monster with the same characteristics as Lin Gui appeared in the north of Tarik, he understood the true meaning of the sentence.

Demons are a race.

When Zhou Li passed the news to Helining, in just three days, thirty-two demons attacked people in the entire Tarik territory.

The common feature of these events is very simple, that is, all the attackers have purple bodies, and also have demon horns of different sizes. These demons acted quickly and were cruel, and once they started, they would not leave any living. Fortunately, Zhou Li had announced the existence of the demon in the name of the brave, and Tarik strengthened the defense and patrol team, which minimized the losses.

Of course, under the contact of Helinin, Zhou Li also learned that there were traces of demons in other countries. However, the quantity and quality of these demons are incomparable to Tarik's, and the scale is extremely small. Therefore, Zhou Li concluded that Tarik was the main attack place of the demons, and he also had a guess.

"I feel it's because of me."

Zhou Li looked at the sand table filled with various flags and said to Tiya, who was beside him with a serious expression: "Do you remember to ask me the Lin Gui I told you before? He said something, the devil will always be with me. I think he is not warning me, but reminding me."

"Can you?"

Tiya was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked in confusion: "Then why should he remind you?"

"I have no idea."

Zhou Li shook his head. It seems that Lin Gui was really weird to him at that time. On the one hand, he killed the people in the entire village. On the other hand, Lin Gui had obviously killed the family of five, and silently killed Zhou Li and Eluma. But he stood in front of Zhou Li and said the reminder in a victorious manner.

It was obvious that Lin Gui had the ability of gold at that time, even if Zhou Li awakened to silver out of thin air, he was not qualified to defeat the opponent. Not only was it a professional crush, but it was also a double suppression of experience and consciousness. However, Lin Gui was repelled by Zhou Li.

Thinking about it now, Zhou Li found that the demon Lin Gui was full of suspicion. But soon, Zhou Li shook his head, turned around and said to Tiya, "Did you see the distribution pattern of the demon?"

"almost."

Tiya nodded, looking at the various place names on the sand table, then stretched out her white finger and pointed it at the place names of a village and town. "Although the distribution of these demons avoids staying in this place, if all their movement trajectories are drawn, then this place is the most interlaced point."

Looking at the town of Delta that Tiya pointed to, Zhou Li nodded and said, "Yes, this is the intersection of these monsters."

Delta Town is a place name that Zhou Li is very familiar with. Because this is the place where he came from the earth and later came to this other world, and it is also a town that carries all the memories of his new generation.

It was a small town dominated by animal husbandry, with only a few dozen families in the town. If it weren’t for a livestock trading market, it would be an ordinary village. When Zhou Li just arrived in this world, he and Aluma were poor and had nothing. If it weren’t for the old village chief who took them in and gave them a job, then he and Aluma would have experienced the feeling of starving to death.

The impression that town gave Zhou Li was of simplicity and hospitality, and a little humor. Of course, he also obtained the first weapon in his life and defeated his first enemy - the mutated Minotaur.

After coming back to his senses, the various key points on the sand table had gathered in the town of Delta. Zhou Li rubbed his jaw and said to Tiya on the side after a brief thought: "Commander-in-Chief Tiya, I want to personally lead a team to this area and investigate the local situation."

"You want to go in person?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Tiya's face. She frowned and said, "Give me a reason."

"The intuition of the brave."

Zhou Li knocked his head and said to Tiya with a smile: "Don't worry, if there is any problem, I will run away."

“Intuition is not a reason.”

Tiya shook her head and said with a serious look on her face: "Now the action routes of these monsters are gathered at a point. You may have to lead the team to go there without going back. I will lead the team this time, and you are in it."

"You lead the team in person..."

In the barracks, Zhou Li and Tiya had a higher relationship with superiors and subordinates. Of course, Tiya enjoyed this process very much. She would always ask Zhou Li to call her Lord Tiya with a smirk after washing her hair, and direct him to wipe her hair. But every time she would immediately admit defeat under Zhou Li's gaze attack, and respectfully said three times, Lord Brave, I was wrong, and then repeat the same mistake.

Of course, Zhou Li often gave Tiya enough face before Tiya. After all, three years were enough to make the two who were originally a little distance a friend to talk about. Whether it was the strange and interesting knowledge in Zhou Li's mind or his fair personality to treat anyone, Tiya admired it very much.

Similarly, the storm General Tiya, who was vigorous and decisive in front of outsiders, also showed her heroic and playful cuteness in front of Zhou Li, and could appear on a person at the same time. Tiya's personality is very interesting. She is not just the cold-faced rider girl, but the majestic in front of outsiders, but once she faces someone who knows her, she will be like a Samoyed who likes to be stupid but makes people smile.

At the beginning, Tiya and Zhou Li did not have much communication. After the subsequent airport crystal quirk incident, the two of them who had inexplicably had a tacit understanding started to interact. After entering the military camp, this brave man who did not care about his identity at all and could chat with any class of soldiers or workers attracted Tiya's attention.

At the same time, this girl who was decisive and quick and decisive in front of outsiders also attracted Zhou Li's attention. As he slowly came into contact, he found that this female knight who looked old-fashioned was actually a girl in her twenties. Her personality was very cheerful, but her long-term military life made her accustomed to the oppression brought by cold faces.

Zhou Li still remembers that when she met her in the cafeteria, she was holding a pile of food and staring blankly at the menu with only white bread in her hand. After a brief embarrassment, she directly put half of the meat food in her arms on Zhou Li's plate, without saying a word, but nodded vigorously and quickly left.

What she didn't know was that Zhou Li was still treating her meat constipation syndrome at that time. After barely eating the hill-like meat, Zhou Li lived up to expectations that day and was constipated again.

After that meeting, his connection with Tia became increasingly deeper. After Tia quarreled with her father Hrining, Zhou Li found a crying girl with rainy pear blossoms in a park. The girl then took him to a huge furnace and told the other party about his mother.

Since then, Zhou Li and Tiya have become close friends, and soon, they have become the most trusted comrades on the battlefield. Zhou Li's fighting style is very unique. He is more indirect and likes to attack enemies from special angles. Tiya is completely opposite. Her attacks often open and close without any blind spots. The Blade Storm is the best description of her. After cooperating, two such people are inexplicably complementary and can often win in a crushing posture.

After Tiya was promoted to commander of the legion, Zhou Li also replaced her previous position and became the captain of the team. Since then, the two have rarely taken the same task together. Tiya has also complained about this, and she wanted to make a request to Hlining to make Zhou Li his deputy very early. But after considering Zhou Li's identity, she gave up this idea.

The brave can be the team leader, but not someone's assistant.

This time, it was the first time that the two of them took a joint attack after Tiya was promoted half a year ago.

"There are twenty-five people in total, you and me, and Eluma."

On the magic armored vehicle, Tiya, wearing platinum heavy armor, took off the chain armor gloves and placed it on the shelf aside. Then she took out three chocolate candies from under the seat plate on the side and handed them to Eluma and Zhou Li.

"This operation took a long time, and we need to conduct a geological survey and magic energy inspection locally. It is estimated that it will be about ten days. We have contacted Luo Wei, the monarch of the country affiliated to the town of Delta, and they have agreed to our application for entry."

"It's quite quick to agree."

Zhou Li chuckled with chocolate, then said, "I thought the old boy would refuse righteously and then privately submit a request."

"I guess they want to rely on us to suppress the opposition."

He took out a bag of chocolate bars and Tiya looked at Aluma who was looking at the scenery outside the window without any trace, and then said to Zhou Li: "So, there is a particularly important point in this mission. That is, no matter what, we cannot participate in the disputes in their own country."

“This is easy to say.”

Zhou Li waved his hand and said indifferently: "Aren't it the world police? Don't worry, we are clear."

"I don't want to worry."

Tiya was very relieved about Zhou Li. At this moment, she was curious about how beautiful the scenery that Eluma had been looking at was Zhou Li, who opened the blackout curtain beside her and looked out the window.
