First Player

Chapter 400: Three hundred ninety seven

   Chapter 400 Chapter 397. "Su Rin, why didn't you save him!"

  She Luther's hand, has been holding the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly, he seems to want to take action to protect the residents he loves.

   "Don't shoot." Su Ming'an issued the second order after the action: "Even if you have the ability to save the next person, even if you have the ability to lend a helping hand to the fallen person..."

  Su Mingan pinned the loudspeaker aside: "—You are not allowed to shoot."

"what-!"

   A burst of blood spurted up, and the blood of a soul hunter splattered on Xie Lude's face.

   "...Captain." He almost squeezed this out of his throat.

   Soul Hunter's corpse fell at his feet, he didn't stop, like stepping on a sharp knife, throwing the man's corpse behind him.

As long as he uses a little power of light, he can save a resident who is unable to walk because of a broken limb. As long as he uses a sword, he can stop a sea monster that jumps on the neck of others... He clearly can save as long as he stretches out his hand. For many people, in the eyes of others, the natural moat of life and death should not be a problem in his eyes.

   He is an upright, benevolent, kind-hearted knight of light, born with a great sense of honor, and was born to protect the people, but now, he can only watch them die in front of his eyes, but wants him to remain indifferent.

   This is even more painful than a blade slashing on his body.

"You can't shoot." Su Ming'an's tone was extremely calm: "Your light energy can't be recovered in time, you must keep it until the final battle with the Kraken King - so, even if you watch people die in front of you, you can't Take action. Because once the war starts, every bit of your energy is a weapon to suppress the Kraken King - and once the Kraken King does not die, everyone you have saved will have to die, including you and me, do you understand?"

   Sheruther took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down.

   But at this time, what he inhaled was the smell of blood.

"what happened to your hand?"

  Su Mingan noticed that there was still a piece of cloth wrapped around his palm, the color was black and red, obviously, it was all the blood that She Luther kept oozing out.

   "I was injured when I rescued Miss Lin Yin and fought against the Siren King." Xie Lude said.

  The Siren King pretended to be Nuoer before and wanted to deceive Lin Yin. At that time, he took her claw with both hands. The wound has not healed until now, and he has been bleeding poisonous blood.

   "It doesn't matter." Su Ming'an said: "Noriya's red rose can reshape your body and heal all previous injuries. As long as you make sure your soul is not attacked, you will be fine."

  "..." Shelude didn't answer.

   What he cares about is gradually not the red rose that can make him a player.

   At this time, he looked at the slaughtered people, and only felt that the grief almost drowned him.

   But he couldn't strike a single sword. Not even one person can be saved.

  Because he can't be sure, whether every bit of energy he expends now will be the last straw that crushes the Siren King.

   As a Knight of Light,

   He cannot do what a knight should do.

   He suddenly felt sad and regretful. It seemed that there was something that still stayed here and needed his protection.

  …

  【NPC (She Lud) HE ending progress: 70%】

  …

   Under the shroud of the blue siren, the outermost barrier ruins are getting closer and closer.

   After fifteen minutes of hell, the originally mighty thousand-person team had shrunk to half of its original size.

   Countless corpses fell on the endlessly constructed white bridges, dyed red with blood.

   Among them, if you count them down, you will find that the number of dead soul hunters is almost equal to that of the residents. Obviously, there are far more residents than soul hunters, and soul hunters are the group that should survive this kind of chaos.

   However, the death probability of soul hunters is much higher than that of ordinary residents.

  The people who were watching the battle from a high place had already started to cry. One thousand to five hundred, which is a very conspicuous difference.

   But the team progressed well. There is still one-third of the way to the finish line, and half of the team is left. Now it seems that arrival has become inevitable.

  The mercenary player Sirius, who was standing on the wall of the royal city, looked away.

   "I regret that I didn't get involved." He joked to his teammates next to him.

"Yeah." The teammate nodded: "I heard about the quest reward, the title of 5% combat power bonus, double experience. One half of the death rate, I think it is acceptable. With our strength, it must be It's the half that survives."

   "Luna and the others are all alive. If we participated, we definitely wouldn't die on the road." said the female teammate next to him.

   They looked at each other and sighed with some regret, regretting why they didn't set foot on the city wall.

   "You should trust the first player. As soon as he said that, I wanted to go up." The team of players standing on the city wall next to them said.

"I was on guard. I thought he actually needed to give a speech so hard, so this cross-sea operation must be so stupid that he needed to make such a big move... But I didn't expect that he was really a routine speech. That's it." said a trendy girl with green hair.

   "No one knows what he was thinking... Maybe he just wanted to boost pre-war morale."

   "Oh, it's useless to say these things now, they've all rushed out so far, we can't keep up."

"Ugh…"

   Previously, they felt that this operation would require bait and cannon fodder, and all the Soul Hunters who needed such a high level of combat power would go out... It must be a mission without life. But now when they see half of the people who are still alive, they immediately substitute themselves among the surviving ones.

In the    world game, the difficulty of the dungeon increases in order. Once every point is not used in time in the early stage, and the strength is not accumulated in time, a vicious circle will form in the later stage, and the tasks encountered become more and more difficult.

   They regretted that they missed a good opportunity to improve.

  …

   "Ding dong!"

   Hearing the upgrade prompt again, Su Mingan had already risen to the third rank and eighth.

   The dungeon does not encourage players to gain experience by spawning monsters. It encourages them to search for clues and gain experience by following the plot and completing tasks, so killing monsters does not give much experience to the system.

   But even if it wasn't much, with this kind of experience bonus, it made him soar two levels in just 15 minutes.

   Risk comes with opportunity, as has always been the case with replica systems. No matter how difficult this journey was, the more improvement it gave him.

   He wondered if he would be able to advance to Tier 4 after this dungeon was cleared perfectly.

   One step first, one step first.

   If he is promoted to rank four before the start of the eighth world, he will enjoy absolute rank suppression for all other top players. If the eighth world is a dungeon of the peak player competitive world, upgrading to the fourth rank will be quite beneficial for one's own decisive victory.

   During this period, he also received news from Lin Yin. She said that she had the ability to track the breath and felt Sheruder's sister in the East End.

  Su Ming'an had already planned to take Xie Lude to find his sister when the operation was over.

   "Lord Su Rin!"

   aside, Doya, who was full of blood, squeezed into the core circle.

   The neighborhood she was in was already a mess, and it looked a lot looser than before, after all, many people died.

   "Ahead, I can't hear Carocha!" She pointed to the loudspeaker and headset she was hanging, her face full of anxiety.

   She has noticed that at the very front, the figure of the taciturn Soul Hunter has disappeared into the vast crowd of sea monsters.

"I suspect that he has fallen behind, or that his running speed is slow, and he has mixed into the crowd. With his strength, he should not die on the road just now... Now the journey is near, everything is fine, are we? It's time to make some repairs and look for it in the team..." Duoya's face was full of anxiety.

  Su Mingan glanced at her.

   He held the loudspeaker on the side of his face and brought the loudspeaker side closer to his mouth.

   "Keep going, don't stop," he said.

  His voice was very calm, but it was especially obvious in the midst of the slaughter. After it was spread, the team that had been somewhat stagnant immediately accelerated.

   "Su Rin—you—" Duoya even lost the awe of "adult".

   "Kalocha is dead." Su Mingan replied to her.

   Her flushed face stagnated, and then collapse and disbelief appeared in her eyes at the same time.

   A very fast tear fell from the corner of her eye, and soon fell on the bridge covered with blood.

   "In this situation, no matter how powerful a person is, he may be killed by an unexpected attack." Su Mingan said. Just five minutes ago, he saw with his own eyes that Kalocha was bitten by three sirens on the back of the neck because he rushed too fast.

   Even if Kalocha is a minister with more than 1,000 combat powers and can instantly kill more than a dozen sea monsters in front of him, when he is suddenly attacked at the fatal point, he cannot save his lost life.

   "Go back to your position, as soon as possible, if you die again, our front line will be further reduced." Su Mingan removed the loudspeaker.

   Every high-strength person is a brick to maintain this line of defense.

   Once one of them dies, there must be other bricks filled with life.

   Kalocha is already dead, and even the S-rank Soul Hunter Ed is nowhere to be seen, so Doya cannot be allowed to die again because of absentmindedness.

   It would be even more stupid if the whole team stopped here because of looking for someone, and it will only make the fight last longer.

  The longer the time goes on, the more light things are filled, but the heavy life.

  Su Mingan knew that, as a commander, he could devote himself to the frenzy before the war and use his fierce emotions to arouse the blood of others. But in wartime, he must remain absolutely calm.

   Some people cannot die, some people can die, and some people, they must die.

   Because in this war, the commander has only one goal, which is victory.

   His innate duty is to guide their movements, arrange their endings, sacrifice what should be sacrificed, and preserve what should be preserved, so that the entire team can continue in the disaster.

   If you deviate from your original decision because of a soft heart, then this is not called sensibility.

   is called default.

   is called malfeasance.

   is to disregard everyone's life and drag everyone to death.

   At this time, the shadow who had been following him, his mana was almost exhausted, suddenly swayed.

   A mutant sea-monster stronger than usual, with a more solid body, grabbed his legs violently. With the huge difference in strength, Shadow was directly pulled down by this, and fell down the bridge next to him!

  “—Amber!”

   Duoya, who had not left yet, saw this scene, and her face was almost deformed with sadness.

  Shadow was dragged away by this, but there was no panic expression on his face. When he fell, he smiled at Duoya on the bridge.

   "Goodbye, Aunt Doya." He smiled naturally, as if he didn't realize that he would die if he fell.

   Soon, the endless sea monsters rushed up like crazy, and there was not even two seconds in the period, which instantly blocked Duoya's downward line of sight.

   "Amber—Save Amber! He is the leader of the soul hunter, and he is a powerful enemy force—"

   Duoya burst into tears, she slashed over the siren beside her with a sword, and pleaded loudly to Su Mingan, her beautiful facial features almost twisted into a ball.

   "Lord Su Rin, save him - you can save him, can't you - you can -"

   With tears all over her face, she cried extremely embarrassedly, and met Su Mingan's almost indifferent eyes.

  Shadow's mana has been exhausted, and his speed and stamina are gradually unable to keep up with the team. Even if Ying didn't die, Su Ming'an would no longer care about his life or death, it was just right for him now.

   This is just a skill, it is a help for him to clear the level, he can be summoned again when he dies, he will not be able to distinguish the priority from the secondary. Even he himself can die countless times in order to pass the customs, let alone the shadow.

   But Duoya didn't know, she just felt that Su Rin just gave up a soul hunter leader.

   She was about to speak, but she saw Su Mingan jumped, her eyes showing extremely obvious pain, as if someone had slashed severely.

   Bloodshot red in his eyes, his whole body trembled physiologically, and he almost slipped while running.

   The clone dies, and the main body transmits pain synchronously.

   Shadow's pain of death, he is also suffering.

   At this moment, he, who was in control of the fate of this group, suddenly remembered what the Princess Tulip, whom he had once spurned, said to him.

  …

  【Su Rin, you have seen too few tragedies, you don’t understand everything I have done. 】

  【The situation in Praia is not rich. All battles are necessary battles. Once one of them is avoided, it will only be filled with more sacrifices. 】

  【Their deaths must not be meaningless. 】

  【Because there is no way to make everyone happy by 'without sacrifice'. 】

  …

  【I command them. 】

  【I carefully arranged the ending of each of them. 】

  【Only in this way—all people can work hard for a tomorrow. 】
