After a while, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded upstairs. The sky turned around in a reflexive manner and immediately met Leoria's serious expression, who was running down from the upstairs.
Seeing Qingkong sitting in the corner having a leisurely meal, he ran over without hesitation, grabbed her right arm and pulled it towards the entrance of the hotel. Qingkong, who was a little confused about the situation, hurriedly asked, "Where are we going?"
"Leave here! - Leave immediately and set out towards the Apocalypse City!" Leoria answered firmly and concisely, pulling Qingkong to the hotel courtyard. With his whistle, a lion with pure white hair jumped out of the shadow of the corner behind the stable and jumped in front of the two of them. It shook its white hair to the dazzling hair in the sun, majestic as if a hero in mythology appeared.
Leoliali stepped onto his white lion, then reached out to Qingkong: "Come up! Let's go."
"What about Sandy? He told me that he would take me to Apocalypse City..."
Before Qingkong could finish his words, Leoria lost patience and lifted her up to the mount. His power made this level 20-level little mage girl completely unable to resist. Before she could hold the rider in front of her, the white lion had already jumped towards the gate of the hotel courtyard, and then ran wildly towards the northward road.
"Hey! Let me go!! I can't leave my companion!!!" Qingkong was a little crazy inside. Faced with this almost kidnapping incident, he wanted to curse himself.
"Don't worry, I've left a message to your companion Sandy. Last night I borrowed paper and pen from the hotel owner and wrote a message to him, telling him [Miss, I'll take it away, meet the countryside.], and told the hotel owner to stuff the notes into the crack of his room for me, so that he could see it when he returned to the room." Leoria finally began to explain, facing the warmer summer airflow, and said loudly, "When I rushed to find him last night, he was duel with Sesiliya, a famous raging gunman in Manchester, and was so injured that he was only torn to death.
I breathed a sigh of relief - Sorry, I rushed to the night and couldn't save his life in the end. Fortunately, Sesiliya fought with someone all night and was exhausted. She was still able to avenge your friend and finally killed her. Unfortunately, I don't have the resurrection skills and cannot pull Sandy back from Rashomon, so I planned to go to the cemetery to welcome his resurrection. Before I got close to the cemetery, I saw Sorens riding on the black unicorn in the rain, and he stood quietly on the side of the cemetery...
I can imagine that those resurrected people are about to encounter a bloody battle in the cemetery, and then there will be another casualty and injury. I guess the first group of players killed in the evening were because they were squatting in the cemetery by these bad players in Manchester and slaughtered again and again, so they have not returned yet, right?
The stations in recent days will become a paradise of death, the slaughterhouse of Sorens - I must take you away and leave this place of right and wrong. I have a more important task. And you, you need to help me deliver that letter to Apocalypse City."
"So you just decided everything for me casually?!" Qingkong felt angry and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"The situation is so strong, I'm sorry, girl." Leolia said this, but Qingkong couldn't feel a trace of his introspection. Just as he was about to continue expressing his dissatisfaction, he stubbornly cut off the entire topic, "Let's concentrate on the road. Killers and pursuers may soon be chasing. In order not to attract attention, I will choose to cross the country and take a more dangerous route. If you encounter any killer on the way - remember, your code of action should be to hide and run. Don't worry about my safety. If you can run by yourself, do you understand?"
Qingkong swallowed her saliva and swallowed her complaints and dissatisfaction for the time being. Compared to these, the unknown danger described by Leoria made her more worried...

As the owner said, Leoria's white lion mount was indeed as he left the north entrance of the intersection station, not far away, and he drilled into the woods beside him. He had great experience in hiding his white and bright body in the shadows of the bushes and trunks.
Then, there are indeed many troubles without following the main path, because even with a high-level character like Leoria guarding her, it cannot change the fact that the level of the clear sky is too low.
From the perspective of game system design, in order to facilitate players to fight monsters smoothly, from the Prayer Village to the Crossroad Station, there is a world of monsters of level 20 to 30. The large part of the world that passes through the north entrance of the post to the Everest Town is the world of monsters above level 30. The more you go north, the higher the level of monsters. The so-called monsters are collectively referred to here as hostile to player-type characters and will actively launch attacks, including wild bandits, mutated animals and strange vegetation. Whether it is hostile players or system monsters, whether they come from a different world of technology or in the game world designed by this system, they have the nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. After sensing the existence of low-level tender meat like Qingkong, the monsters spared no effort to launch attacks-
When he encountered a poisonous flower that would fire sharp thorns, he would shoot at Qingkong. Fortunately, Leoria had a sharp sword wider than Qingkong's face and blocked her again and again;
When he met a crazy mutant wolf, he rushed towards Qingkong and rushed to Qingkong. Fortunately, Leoria had a sharp sword wider than Qingkong's face and blocked her again and again;
When I met the Goblins who could shoot arrows, throw stones, and chase them all the way with a stick. Fortunately, Leoria had a sharp sword wider than Qingkong's face and blocked her...
Leoria, who has no omnipotence, has to be hung with her current ragged equipment (not enough to describe it in Leoria's eyes) and a low-level state, and it is estimated that she cannot withstand any two hits from these monsters.
In the evening, Leolia tightened her nerves all the way to protect Qingshang and came to the grassland area where she could see Wuyu Mountain Peak. In the shadow of a giant stone, the two stopped to go and have a rest. Leolia finally couldn't help but ask her to practice and improve herself-
"When I encounter an attack later, while I help you solve it, don't just watch it and send out skills to cooperate with my attacks as much as possible. In this way, although you can't kill monsters, you can gain experience and upgrade your level faster. To be honest, the route from Crossroads Station to Ranking Town is too dangerous for your current level. If you leave me, you will basically not be able to survive."
"I understand..." Qingkong understood that Leolia had worked hard to protect herself all the way, and he also felt that she was incompetent. "I just was afraid that I would attract more monsters and add more trouble to you, so I didn't dare to take action... I can see that these monsters were all coming to me."
"It's true. Monsters, like players, like bullying characters with low levels and much weaker than themselves. But it doesn't matter. With me here, I will help you solve it. Of course, because I'm here, you won't get as much experience as you hit by yourself, and my level is particularly high, so you will cut off your actual experience based on the weight formula for calculating scores based on the system. However, on the other hand, your level is particularly low. Killing these high-level monsters will also gain a lot of experience accordingly. Positive and negative will offset a part. You will gain a certain amount of experience no matter how you can complete the fatal blow to the monster, you will gain more experience." Speaking of this, Leoria's mind turned around and suggested, "Anyway, I'm going to camp in the mountains tonight. I have anti-fatigue anti-sleep mushroom cakes in my backpack. I'll share some for you later, which is enough to survive this night. Taking this time, I'll take you to level up."
"Okay." Qingkong is of course very happy to encounter opportunities that can improve his abilities. "How to practice?"
"Just come with me, I'll take you to find the most suitable place for monster gatherings." Leoria raised her lips and smiled, showing a smile that made Qingkong feel at ease.

The rest is over.
The sun also began to swell with orange and purple tides, and the sky gradually dimmed.
Leoria took Qingshang to the foot of Wuyu Mountain and finally found a cave entrance with red phosphorus fire floating on one side. He took the girl to climb up a few big rocks and stood at a high place to look into the cave. He saw that there seemed to be a group of strange creatures moving in the cave.
"What kind of monsters is this gathering place?" Qingkong asked curiously.
"This is the product of the failure of goblin production. Maybe they just wanted to impose defensive witchcraft on the algae ground at the beginning, but in the end they created strange creatures, which we all call swamp monsters. They usually appear in caves or low-lying areas filled with biogas. If they are not stuck, they will crawl all over their bodies and stick to the ground and cannot move. Finally, they will be swallowed by them. So although they are just a pool of mud, they are not simple opponents." Leoria explained.
"Then... I'm not here to die?" Qingkong sighed unconsciously.
"No, it's the most suitable way to bring you here, because Swamp Monsters are one of the most popular monsters, which can save time on your upgrade path."
After Leoria finished speaking, she jumped off the big rock, pointed to the mountain bent to the wind outlet, and asked her: "We will take a break in this place tonight. Do you have any objection?"
Qingkong can only listen to him now. What's the use of saying he has any opinions? - She nodded obediently.
