Old Hunter of Tomorrow’s Ark

The swirling grains of sand wrapped around the growing Originium crystals and gathered into a huge humanoid object, reminiscent of the Sand Man in Spider-Man.

Of course, this so-called huge is just the way Shining and Nightingale seem to be. For Skadi, a deep-sea monster hunter, and Gao Qi, who has always been fighting giant units lately... it's just normal.

Looking at this primitive and wild, and there may even be a spell backlash at any time, affecting the caster's Originium skill, Shining, with its superb Originium skill adaptability, quickly identified the type of this spell.

This is some kind of ancient Sarkaz war spell. During the time of the Demon Race, huge giants like mountains could be seen everywhere on the battlefield. More than a dozen warlocks jointly cast spells. big.

Now, the followers of the scourge use the power of the scourge to power this spell, creating a small giant alone, but it may collapse at any time.

"The Colossus of War, no, it's much rougher, if you can counter it - no, Liz, don't do it! I can solve it!"

This kind of enemy has extremely strong physical resistance, but very poor spell resistance. If a precise countermeasure is carried out, it can be destroyed in an instant.

However, Shining immediately thought of something, turned her head back a little eagerly, and stopped Nightingale - this girl who doesn't know how to refuse is extremely fragile, and if she rashly conducts a spell confrontation, she will easily hurt herself.

But when there was too much back, Shining suddenly saw that the blazing flames all over the man in black who called himself Gao Qi disappeared instantly, and a pentagram emblem appeared on his forehead.

And the giant made of sand and dust instantly stagnated in place.

"Skaty, cut it!"

Gao Qi didn't move his hands, still protecting the Nightingale beside him, but his eyes were emitting a shallow white light, and he had a panoramic view of the little guy made of sand and stone in front of him.

Now Gao Qi can see everything about him.

[Caryl Rune - Eyes.

The secret rune left by Karel, the craftsman of Byerginworth, represents the intention of the eyes, and is based on the words of the ancient gods left behind, and the user can obtain additional discoveries.

The eyes symbolize the truth that Master William pursues in his research. Disillusioned with the limits of human ability, he turns to higher levels for guidance, and longs for eyes that can transcend his mind. 】

After killing the angel of heaven, apart from the echoes of blood that could only be stuffed between his teeth as before, Gao Qi still got some things that belonged to him.

"Eyes", this is one of the runes that Gao Qixin obtained. In the center of the runes, the eyes in the pentagram represent the form of communication beyond the world.

In Yanan, Gao Qi got a total of two eye runes, if he kills Master William, he can get the third one.

However, in the end, Gao Qi didn't do anything to this old man who was eager to soar, but he was restrained from the precipice and lying on the rocking chair without any threat. Respecting the old and caring for the young is a virtue, and Gao Qi has always respected Kelsey.

This kind of rune gives Gao Qi a strong observation ability, and the effect is not just "increasing the drop rate of props" in the game.

After all, in reality, there are as many props as there are on a person. Even if you blind your eyes, it can only have something.

After the Heavenly Court messenger died, Gao Qi picked up this rune from him, and in the previous journey, relying on the tools of the rune factory, he recorded it in his memory.

At the moment of activation, on Gao Qi's forehead, just like Erlang's Revelation, there will be runes in the shape of eyes, and Gao Qi's vision-related abilities will be increased in all directions.

For the capture of other people's movements and the analysis of Originium skills, these abilities that require the use of vision or eyesight have made a qualitative leap in Gao Qi.

The eye of introspection exists in people's minds, but "eyes" can let the eyes that penetrate the truth shine into the real world——

Gao Qi could see that this three-meter-tall sandstone giant, in the turbulent Originium energy turbulence in his body, has some of the most critical weaknesses - and, there is flashing the red light of "Come and hit me" .

In the past, even if Gao Qi had raised the secret spell level, he could only infer the general weakness of the enemy's spells based on the types and characteristics of the Originium Art, and finally countered.

But after having "eyes", Gao Qi doesn't need to think, the rune power can mark the enemy's weakness in advance.

You must know that in the game, the boss is weak fire or weak thunder, afraid of thorns or blunt strikes, where to hit high and straight, how to avoid when attacking, these things need hunters to try again and again.

Even an experienced old hunter, when Gao Qi saw the giant rock crab for the first time, he was knocked out by a dragon cart more than ten meters away.

Now, with "eyes", Gao Qi can skip this trial-and-error process and see their weaknesses directly!

Boom!

"Cough——"

With Gao Qi's insight into the weakness, the direct counter-spell, the follower of the natural disaster who maintained the giant's spell, coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and the sand giant also collapsed in an instant, but was stabilized by the warlock in an instant. down.

In fact, now this Originium skill is no longer under his control, but instead is extracting energy from the natural disaster.

But... in front of a deep-sea hunter and a top-notch Sarkaz swordsman, "instant" is a long enough time.

"Scarty, Shining, hit there!"

Gao Qi pointed lightly, and two small flames appeared out of thin air on the gravel giant's body. Those two points were the key for this Originium art creation to draw energy from natural disasters.

"Got it!"

"..."

In the next second, accompanied by three red lights and a dazzling flash, enough to separate the dusk and the day, two heavy and sharp sword lights pierced the magic creation, completely turning it into dust, and casting the spell. The person, accompanied by another spurt of blood, completely lost consciousness.

"Look, I did a good job."

Patting the somewhat surprised Nightingale beside him, Gao Qi showed her a hearty smile, which made the soft Sarkaz girl nod her head.

"Indeed... your power is extraordinary."

For some reason, Nightingale really felt that she and this gentleman... were very cordial.

——————

Ten minutes later, the thunderstorm completely disappeared.

The weather is clear again, the cloudless blue sky is clear outside, if you want to look north, you can even see a touch of green on the distant horizon, the vast grassland of Casimir is not far from here.

This is a natural disaster. It comes and goes in a hurry. In the atmosphere of the wilderness, the concentration of Originium dust is not enough to support a long-term natural disaster.

This is the daily life of Terra. This kind of terrifying disaster, the people of Terra have to avoid several times a year. It’s okay to move the city, but if those people in remote areas, moving a house is a layer of skin.

Until now, Gao Qicai has truly seen how difficult it is for people living in this world.

"I said, I said, I said everything, someone in Kaz'del gave us Originium ingots, let's take this Sarkaz back - we bought some news from the Unification and ambushed here they!"

Grabbed by Gao Qi's collar, a follower of natural disasters soldiers told Gao Qi everything he would know when he poured beans. It seems that after the natural disaster disappeared, his courage also disappeared.

"Well, I have to admit, you're not that crazy."

Snapped--

A punch knocked the Zarak out, Gao Qi stood up, sighed, and looked around - in fact, only this person spoke up, and the other natural disaster followers were very hard-mouthed, Gao Qi could only knock them out again.

On the earth with a radius of 100 meters, many half-human-high black Originium crystal clusters have been born.

This is the product of natural disasters. Originium energy and dust in the atmosphere are solidified by the natural disaster process and become Originium ore, and then, with the utilization of the Originium industry, they are re-transformed into spilled energy and dust, returning to the atmosphere, which is no different from the water cycle.

This is also the reason why the frequency of natural disasters is increasing in the approaching modern times. Originium Industry has accelerated this cycle, but compared with the natural disasters that can be avoided, no one is willing to give up the convenience brought by Originium Industry.

"Gaoqi Gaoqi, look, this is a high-purity source stone mine!"

On the other hand, according to Professor Kelsey's identification method, Skadi cut out the Originium with a little golden light from the dark Originium crystal without any protection.

"Well... Yes, yes, that's great, Skadi. It seems that we can rely on more than black cards for our next action funds. Remember to put them in a radiation-proof bag, otherwise it will easily endanger others."

Gao Qi nodded, patted Skadi's little head in praise, and made the little killer whale narrow his eyes.

The pure Originium spent in the game does not exist naturally. It needs to be extracted and synthesized from this high-purity Originium. The price of these stones is not cheap.

Around the pitch-black crystal cluster, the followers of the natural disaster were also falling to the ground. The wounds on their bodies were still there, but they did not have acute ore disease due to radiation from the natural disaster.

This is not because they are really not afraid of natural disasters. After they fainted, Nightingale, who was still sitting in the car, would throw a shield on them.

And this little devil is being taught by Shining seriously right now.

"Liz, I said, you shouldn't waste your energy for these villains anymore. You must rest immediately after we arrive at the Great Knight's lead."

Shining's originally indifferent expression was now full of concern. The rapier in his hand was sheathed and turned back into a staff, splashing a little white light on Nightingale's body, but his tone was still stern.

"I know, I just..."

Nightingale lowered her head, and her tone was full of apology.

"Okay, okay, it's not Miss Nightingale's fault, and it's not necessarily a bad thing to save someone's life, what do you think?"

Soon, Gao Qi interrupted the conversation between the two, smiling to excuse the little white devil.

This is not the heart attack of the Lady of the Nightingale. According to Gao Qi's observation, when Gao Qi is not injured, Nightingale will immediately throw out a healing spell, without considering the overflow of resilience, even when the enemy is injured, she will hold it. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he had a strong desire to heal.

Nightingale did this, but it was more like... an instinctive reaction? She genuinely wanted to heal everyone.

"Ok."

Nightingale nodded sharply, and looked at Gao Qi gratefully. Since she left Kazdel, she didn't have much knowledge, and it was difficult to find an accurate adjective to describe her situation.

"... Of course I know, and I'm not blaming you, Liz--thank you for your help, Mr. Gaoch, we'll continue our journey, that's a little bit of heart."

Looking from the east to the west, Shining found a few gold coins, gently squeezed them with his white hands without sword calluses, and handed them to Gao Qi, with sincere thanks in his beautiful brown eyes.

In Terra, red gold is not like a dozen gold coins can be produced a day like in the game, but a very precious general equivalent, and these gold coins are very valuable.

"I am impressed by the strength of the two of you. I hope we can meet again in the future."

Shining doesn't want to owe others favors. Even now, countless eyes are still staring at the two of them in the dark. These attackers are just the best group to deal with. She doesn't want innocent people to be involved in trouble.

However, what Shining didn't expect was that Gao Qi gently pushed the gold coin back, and instead extended his hand towards the two of them.

"There's no need to discuss the future, Ms. Shining, if the place you want to go is also the Great Knight Leader, then we can just drop by - I think, I invite you to walk with us, what do you think?"

Gao Qi had a hunch that these two old acquaintances would be the key to Casimir's trip.

The most important thing is—the wife you have, how can you just run away?

13. Peer and "Platinum"? (4k)

Gao Qi knew some things about the origins and experiences of Shining and Nightingale, but not all of them.

However, since the two have left Kazdel and came to Casimir, Gao Qi can be completely sure that the black and white demons are here to gather the last member of the future "Apostle" team.

However, Gao Qi knew that before the completion of the yet-to-be-opened Cavaliers Competitive Championship, the two Sarkaz did not know what they would encounter.

However, since he just bumped into the two wives like this, how could Gao Qi just let him go—at least he had to get his favorability full!

What's more, Gao Qi noticed from the brief contact that the current two girls-maybe they were really young girls, maybe they were hundreds of years old girls, something was wrong.

[Sorry, Miss Doll, I'm going to cheat again! 】

[Come out, come out, I won't stop you, kind hunter... hum. 】

The puppet lady was too lazy to answer - Gao Qi has always been a thief, and the greatest courage is left to Scotty and herself.

However, if there is no sense of crisis, it is a lie. Even if Miss Doll and Gao Qi are of the same mind, there is still jealousy.

【Or, next time...】

In the hunter's dream, Miss Doll couldn't help touching her lips.

Gao Qi has been in Terra for more than half a year, and the time spent with Miss Doll is definitely no less than that with Skadi. Gao Qi is even more afraid of her loneliness, so he took a lot of things for her from reality.

As everyone knows, even watching Gao Qi on adventures every day, Miss Doll is as happy as watching live broadcasts.

However, no matter what, she is no longer a puppet, but a real person.

Miss Doll's love needs some restraint - after all, no matter how many girls admire Gao Qi, his nights will always be his own.

However, Gao Qi, who was outside the dream, didn't know the last words of Miss Doll, but he sent an invitation to Shining without hesitation.

"Just call me Gao Qi. Skadi and I are going to Kavalelaki City. How about we go together? You know, the identity verification during the competition is still very strict."

However, Shining still shook his head, straddled the dusty motorcycle, and the long horn above his head swayed extremely greatly.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gao Qi, we are just travelers who are going to watch the game. There is no problem with our identity."

In response, Gao Qi just chuckled, as if he had anticipated Shining's next move, and raised his hands directly to ensure that his fairy looked harmless to humans and animals.

"Really? I don't think that a former sin pardon member who was hunted down has any legal and compliant status - you see, you are right."

When Gao Qi uttered the words "Sin Pardoner", he felt that he was completely locked by a fierce gaze. Shining's gentle and indifferent gaze instantly turned into a sharp blade that could pierce Gao Qi.

The quiet temperament from before suddenly changed, and the current Shining gave Gao Qi a sense of oppression, no less than those of Yanan's little bosses.

The "staff" in her hand trembled slightly. She didn't know if it was her arm or the sword itself.

But the next second, an equally powerful gaze was projected from behind Gao Qi.

Skadi stopped all movements, and with a bang, his feet appeared beside Gao Qi, his red eyes locked on Shining.

Skadi promises that no matter what tricks this Sarkaz woman dares to devise, as long as she dares to do something to Gao Qi, she will definitely smash her shell!

"The Shining? Calm down, Mr. Gooch is not the enemy! We are safe!"

Behind Shining, Nightingale seemed to notice Shining's abnormality, and she tugged at her robe anxiously. She was still being treated by Shining just now, but now she started pouring various healing spells on Shining.

The next second, Shining's boundless killing intent suddenly disappeared, she took a deep breath, controlled her excitement, and returned to her original elegance.

"Phew—sorry, I'm rude, you have many ways to know my identity, the confession of the pursuer, my style of swordsmanship..."
