Create a sandbox world

"The five altar master of the Blood Demon Cult is missing."

"Fenglin's third-tier elder's body was found, appeared on the wasteland, and fed the eagle."

"The rumors said it was suspected to be a method of the Qintian Taoist Academy, but no one confirmed it."

"Hehe, things are already so obvious, there are even evil-doers who have broken their brains to deal with those two people, and they deserve to die."

"They have entered the wasteland, who is being targeted this time?"

Similar discussions are still spreading in the practice world in the mainland. For six months, similar news has been heard almost every month. For the calm and boring practice world, this is already extremely interesting.

Two young girls with only medium-grade cultivation bases, with mysterious origins, and vaguely blessed by the three major forces, walked out of the demon realm, passed through the southern region, entered the Great Zhou, and then stepped into the northern wilderness.

Wherever you pass, there are countless deaths and injuries from evil repairs of medium grade and below, and any high-grade monk who dared to try to attack the two will disappear, and then the body will be discovered after a while...

If people were just curious at first, then they became fear and concern.

Some forces that rely on trafficking in information for a living even simply send people to follow along, pass the latest "news" back to their headquarters through channels, and then sell them to various factions in the mainland by letter.

Before this, no middle-rank monk had ever attracted the attention of the entire continent.

Everyone is curious, wondering when this experience of the two will end and how it will end.

...

North of Great Zhou, above the wasteland.

On the Gobi-like land, there are sparse woods.

The season has reached the end of October, and in the late autumn season, the sky over the entire wasteland is higher than ever, and the air is colder.

At this moment, it is still early in the morning, there are few stars in the sky, and the earth is covered with large veils.

"laugh--"

As Xue Liang's sword light rose, the huge wasteland monster in front of him finally wailed, his fierce and cruel eyes dimmed, and his heavy body crashed to the ground.

The blood escaped little by little from the cracks in his body.

Lin Tuo, dressed in thick clothes, stood quietly holding a sword in his right hand.

In front of him, some sporadic blood was spilled on his face.

Although only half a year has passed, his appearance has undergone a lot of changes, his body is stronger, and the youthfulness and tenderness on his face have been replaced by awe-inspiring and sharpness.

According to human calculations, the body tempering progress has reached the fourth stage, and the most important thing is that after half a year of experience, his mastery of power has reached a new realm.

Whether it is the subtle manipulation of the ether or the release of some magic, they are becoming more and more proficient:

"Compared with half a year ago, my current utilization efficiency of ether has increased by at least 60%, um, there is no way to accurately measure it, but the approximate number is there..."

Wiped the sword blade on the fur of the monster beast, and immediately took the sword back into its sheath, and handed over a towel soaked with water: "Wipe?"

"Okay." Lin Tuo turned his head and glanced at Huaxi, who was also wrapped in thick clothes, and took it.

In the past six months, in comparison, Huaxi has undergone greater changes.

The little girl was already in a growth period, and she supplemented her nourishment in the months away from the mountain. She had enough "exercise" in the Tianyuan Continent in the past six months, and her whole person was soaring.

In just half a year, he jumped by at least ten centimeters, his figure was more slender, and his originally round face became much longer.

Especially the change in temperament is the most significant, the breath on her body is like a sharpened sword, and through meditation, fighting, and constantly taking the Body Tempering Pill, her cultivation level is also close to the high-grade realm.

These are real growth.

Seeing Lin Tuo took the towel to wipe, Huaxi smiled, and then skillfully pulled out the short knife around his waist, filled with vitality and covered the blade, and began to cut and decompose the monster, with a skillful and graceful movement.

After a short while, he cut off the best piece of meat, and Lin Tuo turned around after wiping off the blood stains and walked to a low forest not far away.

After thinking about it, he didn't draw his sword, just raised his hand and flicked forward.

A sword light flashed across, and branches immediately broke and fell.

Immediately he thought, and the dry and newly cut branches and grass blades were dragged by invisible force, flew out of the dark forest, and soon piled together.

Lin Tuo's eyes drooped lightly, and the corresponding Dao pattern was outlined in his mind. In a short time, a bright flame fell and ignited, forming a warm bonfire.

In this near morning, the sun has not yet risen on the wasteland, illuminating the surroundings, and also filled with warmth.

The method of the airspace is related to mental power, so it can be used even if the body is changed.

However, if it had been Lin Tuo half a year ago, he would definitely not be able to achieve this seemingly simple method so lightly.

"Remember that time... I couldn't even lift Hathaway's crystal ball." Lin Tuo sighed softly.

"What?" Huaxi walked over and asked while cutting the monster meat in the iron pan that he carried with him.

"It's nothing," Lin Tuo regained his gaze and said suddenly, "It's been half a year, and it's time to go back."

Huaxi was startled, and then he remembered something like a smile: "Ah, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot."

Lin Tuo couldn't laugh or cry: "I haven't forgotten, but you can't remember it first?"

For half a year, Lin Tuo is still in the safe range of "sinking", Lin Tuo has not yet begun to forget, but he has occasionally started to trance in the past few days, which is one of the reasons why he decided to end his experience.

Huaxi pursed his mouth and smiled. Although it was a little dirty, the still-clean face had two crescents in the eyes: "I have only lived away from the mountain for a total of four months, and it has been half a year here. ."

"Yes." Lin Tuo laughed blankly, then suddenly looked at the girl, "You have changed a lot in the past six months."

"Is there?" Huaxi blinked.

"Well, it's not as cute as before." Lin Tuo said earnestly, "You were more adorable six months ago than you are now."

"..." The girl stayed for a few seconds, then suddenly puffed her cheeks and snorted. The heroic energy between her eyebrows and eyebrows disappeared for a while, revealing a bit of coquettishness, "Teacher, you have changed a lot."

This suddenly became cute... Lin Tuo was amazed immediately, thinking that the girl's ability to change faces was really amazing.

Huaxi put the pot on the bonfire, and suddenly said: "Really going back?"

"You can't bear to be here?" Lin Tuo smiled.

Huaxi squatted by the bonfire, put her cheeks away and said softly:

"No, I just stayed for a long time, and I'm not used to going back.

But after running outside for a long time, I really miss it when I think about going back to the house, ah, I am afraid that the drama I have been chasing after half a year has been finished, and there are novels for chasing updates...

Hey, he should be able to kill a wave, hehe, this world is very boring."

Lin Tuo watched the girl squatting by the bonfire chattering, his eyes fluctuated, and suddenly said:

"Then you may be disappointed."

"En?" Huaxi looked over in confusion.

After hearing Lin Tuo suddenly said:

"It has been almost a year since I brought you back from the wasteland. You should have a lot of doubts.

For example, for my identity, what I am doing, why the wasteland became wasteland, and why I appeared in your world...

Regarding my identity and purpose in this world and the world Hathaway is now stationed in...

A normal person will definitely have doubts. I believe you should have guessed some this year, but you never asked me directly."

His voice was very flat, like the countless small talks between the two in the past six months when they were leaning against each other.

But when he heard these words, the expression on Huaxi's face squatting by the bonfire suddenly became a little flustered. It seemed that he hadn't expected that Lin Tuo would say this suddenly.

After all, for the past nearly a year, the two have always maintained a tacit understanding about the "secret" of Lin Tuo, that is, Lin Tuo will not take the initiative to speak, and Hua Xi will not take the initiative to ask.

When did this "tacit understanding" begin?I can't remember, anyway, I slowly got used to it.

For Lin Tuo, at first, it was because he was not at ease with Huaxi, so many things were vague. Later, some things became more complicated and more difficult to explain, so he was too lazy to explain clearly.

Until this day, after half a year of life and death between the two, he felt that it was finally time to clarify some things.

The two of them can't stay ambiguous, especially when he is about to end his experience and leave this world, he needs to explain something more clearly, so that Huaxi can truly fulfill his "duty" of communicating with the world instead of him.

Not only Huaxi, but also Hathaway is actually the same, but the situation of the digital life is rather special, and there is no need for deep communication in a short time.

But Huaxi is different.

For Huaxi, the emotions are more complicated.

Is she curious, of course curious, there are no idiots who can survive in the wasteland, of course she is even more so, in fact, she has always been smarter than she appeared.

This cleverness is embodied in a series of survival philosophies that she has cultivated on the wasteland for more than ten years.

For example, obeying the strong, such as judging the situation, such as proper disguise, such as the worthless people will be abandoned sooner or later... etc.

It was precisely because of her cleverness that she was "kidnapped" by Lin Tuo at the beginning, and after seeing the strength and mystery of the other party, she did not try to escape, but did not leave when Lin Tuo deliberately left for food.

It was because of her cleverness that she deliberately stayed on the snow-capped laboratory mountain in Daxizhou when Lin Tuo transferred the refugees from the wasteland, pretending to be a poor look.

It was precisely because of her cleverness that she "easily" accepted Lin Tuo's vague answer about "I am not a god" after entering the earth.

It is precisely because of her cleverness that after she moved into the Lishan Martial Arts Hall, she completely reduced the fierceness and vigilance she used to walk on the wasteland, but was extremely keen to deliberately make herself look cute, silly, even stupid...

Try to make yourself less intelligent, such as crying because it is too difficult to learn languages...

Because she knows very well that most men will not like a girl who is too smart. Isn't "silly white sweet" a survival strategy?

She still remembers clearly to this day that she once saw a woman who was "brought up" by a strong company in the wasteland and tried to disguise her frailty, even cutting herself to bloodletting at regular intervals, so as to keep herself in A state of weakness and no threat...

She tried her best to pack herself into a cute pet, because she knew that such an image could guarantee her safety to the greatest extent.

At the same time, she was also very clear that sooner or later useless pets would be abandoned... and then replaced by another one, such as Hathaway, or something else.

Therefore, she has been working hard to reflect her value, studying Huabingquan very hard, and after discovering that Lin Tuo has to go out to buy food every day, she took the initiative to express her interest in cooking. When Lin Tuo needed her to learn the language quickly Master linguistic skills...

When she was taken out for a "business trip" for the first time, she was extremely happy, because she felt that this meant that she finally had value...

But for a long time after the book copying incident, she seemed to be abandoned... This made her extremely nervous for a while, so she had to work hard to play the role of a cook + pet...

But when Hathaway arrived, the pet's status seemed to be precarious... So she had to take the risk and try to use cute ways to win the "task"...

Because of this cleverness, she never took the initiative to explore Lin Tuo's secrets, even though the other party didn't seem to mind her inquiry.

But how can a pet dare to take such a danger that may displease the owner?

But now, at this cold dawn, when the sky hasn't been bright, on the desolate and lonely wasteland, by the campfire, Lin Tuo unabashedly expressed his "open and honest" attitude.

What should she do?

Huaxi was stunned for a few seconds, and her expression briefly switched between cute and heroic.

Then she finally calmed down, put away her usual cute appearance, solemnly sat cross-legged in front of Lin Tuo, and said with an unprecedented serious expression:

"The disciple does have doubts, please enlighten me from the teacher."
