Chapter 250 Chapter 248 · "Times have changed 2.0"

 The sudden heavy rain was particularly violent at this time. In the strong wind, the suspension bridge was like a small boat that might be capsized by the waves at any time.

Su Mingan stepped on the wooden board and rushed forward quickly.

The cliffs at both ends were about two hundred meters apart. After a while, he quickly rushed to the other side.

 Putting down Dongyuki and Suzunako, he squatted down and observed the structure of the suspension bridge.

 The suspension bridge is hung by a few thin wires, and the bridge deck is made of wooden boards. The wooden boards on top are very thin and look shaky in the wind and rain.

 He observed it for a moment and felt that his idea might be realized.

 He wanted to build a place here to trap those white weirdos.

As long as he stands at the end of the cliff when the opponent catches up, waiting for the opponent to rush up one by one, he can take advantage of the narrow terrain of the chain bridge to avoid a situation where more people are fighting against fewer enemies.

 If necessary, you can also seize the opportunity to sink the suspension bridge and let the white monster fall into the river below.

This is a very good harvesting experience point.

 He noticed that there were poles holding wires on both sides and a triangular support structure under the bridge deck, which prevented the bridge from falling off in the rain.

He stepped forward and cut the iron blocks connecting the wooden boards, thinning them so that they could be severed with one blow.

While cutting carefully, he suddenly felt a pain all over his body. The pain surged out from all parts of the body in an instant, as if the body was pierced by countless sharp instruments.

The pain was especially in his eyes. He seemed to feel something like a hook piercing through his pupils and sticking out from the back of his head, causing a stinging pain that penetrated his bones.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 He breathed in the cold air and paused the movements of his hands.

 This is the same impact that the death of the clone brings to him.

 …Ming is dead.

As early as after Rang Mingjue, he knew that the clone would not be able to come back. The fact that he could persist until now was beyond his expectation.

 He looked at the experience bar and the kill prompts. Ming had killed nine white monsters during this period, and he had reached level three.

 In this way, he still needs to face about twenty white weirdos.

 He raised his eyes, glanced at the shaky suspension bridge in front of him, and sheathed his sword.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the surrounding environment gradually became darker. The river water below hit the cliff, making a huge impact sound.

  He looked at the san value, which had dropped to 58 points.

Has reached a value that will cause hallucinations. This value is not safe. He must prevent his mental state from deteriorating further.

 …Let’s switch to the shadow state first.

Su Mingan returned to the edge of the cliff and began to switch states.

The power he could control gradually receded, and the sword in his hand seemed much heavier. He could feel the raindrops hitting him, and the touch on his body became heavier.

However, fortunately after the switch was completed, he felt that his eyes were instantly clearer, and his awareness of the surrounding environment had also soared.

Every time he switches states, he needs a certain period of buffering. After all, the contrast between the two states of light and shadow is so great that it takes a while to get used to it.

 He waved his hand and saw Fuyuki and Suzunako standing next to him.

These two people indeed regard him as the leader, and now they listen to him in everything. They stood aside quietly when they didn't receive an order, even if they were soaked like two drowned rats.

Dong Xue’s pair of dark eyes were watching him with great concentration.

 Scattered black hair stuck to her body, and the belt on her shoulders was shaking with the trembling of her body. She seemed to be frozen.

Their clothes were originally very thin, because Dongxue had been running all the way, and her legs were all cut by grass blades.

 …If this continues, she may be at risk of developing a high fever. Su Mingan didn't want the person he finally rescued to die of illness.

“You go search nearby now and find a place to take shelter from the rain.” Su Mingan said.

“Nearby?” Dongxue said, “Is it a cave or something like that?”

"Yes, I will stay here for a while. You can take shelter in the cave from the rain and wait for me to come back. Don't come out in the meantime."

Su Mingan opened his backpack and gave them compressed biscuits and dry clothes wrapped in plastic bags—he had always prepared these things.

 He took out a dry cloth and wiped the sword in his hand.

 The damp smell of rain is even stronger now.

 The sword was covered with water mixed with blood. He slowly wiped the sword with a cloth to wipe away the smell of blood.

He noticed that there were fine cracks on the sword, which seemed to be traces of the fierce battle just now.

 Looking at the panel of Arman's Sword, I saw that its durability was only 8 points.

He took out the two repair stones he kept in his backpack and crushed them into pieces. Blue light flew out from the stones and lingered on the sword body, as if it was being repaired.

 The durability of Arman's Sword has gradually increased to 18.

 Generally speaking, equipped weapons should be maintained during the rest period in the main **** space before being brought into the dungeon. This kind of thing will not be temporarily restored in the copy.

Su Mingan evolved Arman's Sword once before, and its durability has been restored to full value. He didn't expect that this copy would require such a fierce battle, so he was forced to use the repair stone.

 He watched the scratches on Arman's sword slowly recover, and he had the idea of ​​​​finding another weapon.

 After all, it is inevitable that he and Ming will go to war at the same time in the future, and they must not only prepare one weapon.

 Furthermore, some special circumstances in which weapons are released must also be taken into consideration.

Su Mingan wiped his sword and suddenly felt the sky above him.

 Dongxue spread out dry clothes and put them on his head to block the overwhelming torrential rain.

Su Mingan took off his clothes and asked, "What are you doing?"

“Don’t get wet in the rain, it’s cold.” Dongxue said, “Yangxia, you will be cold too.”

 “Take care of yourself.” Su Mingan stuffed the clothes back into the backpack compartment. Because the clothes were stained with water, he had to give Dongxue a new set of dry clothes.

"As long as you don't get sick or have a high fever or anything like that, it will be the greatest help to me." Su Mingan gave her a new set of clothes.

He didn’t expect that his cold words would actually make Dongxue smile brightly.

"Yeah. I know." Dongxue smiled and said, "I know, Yangxia is the best."

 She smiled and pulled Suzunako away.

Looking at her back, Su Mingan still found it difficult to understand her behavior of placing emotions on an imaginary character.

 But he shouldn't be thinking about this at this time.

He turned around, threw away the blood-stained cloth in his hand, held the sword, and looked at the long white stream surging from the other end of the cliff.

A pair of eyes as fierce as wolves, flashing with blood, appeared little by little on the other side of the dark sky.

In front of them, stood a tall and thin figure. He was wearing a white coat and spinning a sharp scalpel in his hand. It was Xia Luoyang.

"Yang Xia." Xia Luoyang called him loudly from the other end.

The white weirdos slowly stopped behind him, seeming to be listening to Xia Luoyang's orders.

With the sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding," the iron ropes collided, Xia Luoyang stepped onto the board with one foot.

Following the cold wind, Xia Luoyang's voice came through the rain curtain, with a hint of leisurely flavor:

“...Yang Xia, you haven’t gotten all the clues yet, are you going to leave like this?”

The most crucial clue that Su Mingan obtained before was a narrative given to him by Flax before his death. In that narrative, one (1/3) was clearly written on the system panel.

 This means that, in addition to the key clues given by Flax, he is also missing two key clues.

Judging from the perspective of game mechanics, he believes that the remaining two key clues are one from Dongxue and one from Xia Luoyang.

 …there will be no one else.

He opened the escape line in advance, so the teachers on the third day would not be in his consideration range. The only key people he could contact were Dongxue and Xia Luoyang.

Dongxue's side was easier to handle. He had rescued her and he was confident that he could get clues from her mouth.

 But Xia Luoyang…

 He speculated that the conditions for obtaining clues to Xia Luoyang may be the same as those for flax. If he wants to pass the level perfectly, he must defeat the opponent...

Su Mingan raised his head.

Over there, Xia Luoyang stood with one foot on the iron-locked wooden plank, his body swaying slightly as the rope bridge swayed.

Xia Luoyang seemed to have anticipated the possibility that the chain bridge had been tampered with. He just stood on it with one foot and had no intention of stepping on it completely.

Su Mingan took a look at his own status. The health and blue bars were now full. He focused all his free attribute points on physical strength.

 …He needs physical strength most now.

 Even if the physical attribute point does not add health points in the shadow state, he still needs physical strength.

 Physical strength includes not only health, but also a person's physical endurance, resistance, weight-bearing, endurance, etc... If he wants to stand to the end in this kind of group battle, he must increase his physical strength.

The sky gradually darkened, and the heavy rain fell heavily on the ground.

Facing the biting cold wind, Su Mingan wiped the rain from his face, stood on the cliff, and stared at the long line of white people on the opposite side.

The vision is getting darker and darker.

"You don't seem to want to answer me?" Xia Luoyang said distantly.

"There is no room for turning around." Su Mingan said: "You have already said that you will not help me."

"...You chose the route that you should least choose." Xia Luoyang looked at him with some regret: "If you could stay quietly in the white sand paradise, there wouldn't be so many gaps between us."

Su Mingan said nothing.

 His birth identity was Yang Xia, and he was a doctor at the beginning, so his sanity was naturally unfavorable.

 He can no longer stay in the white sand paradise and has no choice but to escape, otherwise he may really be driven crazy.

 “Ming.” He called the clone.

His current points are 256 points and 2 career points. He has already used 10 career points to summon Shadow and Light, so points will be deducted this time.

  100 points were deducted and Mingming appeared in front of him.

Su Mingan threw the Arman Sword to him and backed away slightly, looking focused.

 He is counting the number of enemies on the opposite side.

"...Is there going to be a war?" Xia Luoyang asked on the other end, seeming quite regretful.

Su Mingan ignored him and silently counted the number of people on the other side.

If the other party had not hidden their clumsiness and had sent out all the living white monsters, there would have been twenty-six people standing on the cliff opposite, not including Xia Luoyang.

He didn't dare to bet on the possibility of Xia Luoyang letting him go, and he was more willing to put Xia Luoyang on the alert.

If Xia Luoyang was on the same level as Flax, then what he would have to face might be twenty-six berserkers who only had neck weaknesses and were not afraid of death, plus an enemy with 2000 combat power.

 The wind and rain are getting stronger.

Su Mingan looked at the opposite side from a distance of two hundred meters, watching the white torrent gradually coming.

The suspension bridge creaked, and the first white weirdo stepped onto the plank.

 “Dingle bell—ding bell—”

 The iron ropes of the suspension bridge are also hung with heart-to-heart locks. The iron locks collide, which is particularly crisp in the heavy rain.

Su Mingan was drinking blue medicine, and his mana was slowly recovering.

His three spatial displacements in one hour have been used up, and there is no way to retreat. If he can't resist it, he can only cut off the chain bridge.

 “Shua—!”

Blood streaks shot out, Ming slashed the opponent's neck with extremely precise sword, the blood mixed with the rain curtain, the white monster instantly tilted his body, and was kicked by Ming into the raging river.

　　【Exp+4000! 】

The next white monster rushed over again. Although the chain bridge was not wide, it could still accommodate four people walking parallelly. This was also the difficulty in guarding the bridge.

When Ming swung his sword, the white monster seemed to have learned a lesson, and put his arm in front of his neck. With a "dang-" sound, the sword blade seemed to cut on the steel, making a fierce sound of gold and iron clashing. .

Ming's hands did not shake. Ming's comprehensive melee combat power was actually superior to these single white monsters, and the force of the counterattack could not threaten him.

 But soon, Su Mingan, who was standing aside to recover his mana, suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of crisis.

He subconsciously turned his body and felt something brushing against his ribs quickly, causing a burning pain.

He looked up and saw Xia Luoyang, who was protected by layers of protection on the other side of the cliff, holding a dark gun.
