A group of ten people stood at the even more dilapidated school gate. After just one day of absence, the weeds had grown a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye. It felt like they would be able to occupy the entrance of the teaching building in less than a week.
Lin Xiao said to the nine students behind him,
"I'm reminding you for the last time. Once you leave, there will be no room for regret. I don't have time to send anyone back at short notice."
No one responded, so he nodded and said,
"Follow me later. When you encounter any monster, the first thing you should do is not how to deal with it, but how to save your life. Follow my orders. When I say run, don't hesitate, run immediately. Now follow me."
He stepped out of the campus first, followed closely by nine classmates.
Less than five seconds after he stepped into the bush, several bat monsters rushed out from behind the dense leaves on the top of a nearby tree. He stood still and let them pounce on him. He grabbed them and threw them to the ground. He stepped on their wings with his feet and broke them. He pointed at the two men and said:
"Kill them one by one."
The current bat monster basically won't increase his strength much, but for a newbie, one is five kilograms of strength, which is very cost-effective.
There are no big monsters nearby, and there are very few gorilla monsters. In the past two days, we only found three at most after circling the school twice. Most of them were long-haired wolves and bat monsters, which were just right for them.
The group of people moved slowly along the edge of the school. There were long-haired wolves or bat monsters rushing towards them one after another. He beat them all up and threw them to them.
Even if it is divided equally among nine people, it won't be much, but at least it can increase the strength by dozens of kilograms, which is a very significant enhancement for ordinary people.
After the strengthening, even a few female students seemed eager to try because of the greatly increased strength.
If an ordinary person suddenly becomes much stronger, he will definitely feel a little inflated.
Lin Xiao did not try to persuade them. He just caught a bat monster and threw it over to them without beating it to death, letting them deal with it.
The first one was hacked to death with an axe. The second time, one of the most confident boys was assigned to deal with it. He was scratched a few times and cried for help. His whole body was covered with scratches and he soon became obedient.
Next, he divided the nine people into three groups, three in each group, and asked them to work together to deal with the problem.
They are all ordinary students. We cannot expect them to become independent all of a sudden. Let them work as a team and try to deal with more and stronger enemies.
"boom!"
As soon as he turned the corner of the school, he saw a three-meter-tall chimpanzee monster knocking down the school wall and preparing to enter. Lin Xiao took a brick from the wall and smashed it at the gorilla monster. He pointed at the roaring and oppressive gorilla monster and said to the slightly frightened students:
"I'll take care of this one. You guys should watch its attack method carefully so that you won't be helpless next time you encounter it."
As he said this, he rushed forward with a knife in hand, slapped the gorilla monster in the face, and narrowed his body to avoid it, leaving a long bloody wound with the knife.
The gorilla monster roared, turned around and clapped its arms. Lin Xiao's mind moved, and his innate time acceleration was activated. His own thinking reaction and speed instantly increased by 100%. In the innate state, he could keenly feel that the whole world slowed down the moment the talent was activated.
The gorilla monster roared and turned around and slapped it "slowly". He turned around at an extremely fast speed and chopped the gorilla monster's neck. Blood slowly splashed out. He could even see the moment when the bone-chopping knife split the skin and flesh and cut the blood vessels. Then, before the gorilla monster roared and its face was distorted in pain, he easily got behind the gorilla monster and chopped its neck again.
In the eyes of several students standing by the wall, Lin Xiao moved with astonishing speed in an instant, just like the video fast-forwarded several times, as fast as lightning, and slashed the chimpanzee's neck seven or eight times, chopping the flesh and blood on its neck open and penetrating the cervical spine, with blood gushing out like a fountain.
By the time the time acceleration ended, Lin Xiao had retreated more than ten meters away, watching coldly the gorilla monster's crazy counterattack before its death.
"Oh my god, you're amazing!"
When the chimpanzee's huge body, more than three meters tall and covered in blood, fell heavily to the ground, the students came forward with lingering shock. Several female students looked at him with admiration as if their eyes were full of stars.
Zhuo Jing pushed up the large black-framed glasses on her straight nose, carefully examined the body of the gorilla monster, turned back to look at Lin Xiao, who happened to be looking over, and asked with a smile:
"Does Zhuo Jing have any questions?"
She shook her head and said:
"No, I'm just amazed at how amazing Lin Xiao is."
He smiled and said,
"No one is so powerful at the beginning. I have accumulated these experiences through many battles."
No one cared about the corpse, and the gorilla meat wasn't tasty.
They continued to move forward and soon encountered another small group of long-haired wolves. Lin Xiao directly intercepted half of them and left the rest to them, which was exactly three teams.
But before he could kill the one in front of him, two bat monsters suddenly flew out from the treetops nearby. Lin Xiao was about to take them, but the next second he paused and shouted a warning:
"Two bat monsters are coming, deal with them yourself."
It's just an emergency that's not too threatening, let's see if they can handle it.
This sudden situation made them nervous, but after all, they had come out with him to kill a lot of people, so their mentality was no longer that of an ordinary person. After the initial panic, they quickly calmed down. Zhuo Jing immediately said:
"I'll deal with one, and each of your teams frees up one person to take over the other."
As she said this, she broke away from the original battle and went to meet one of the bat monsters, but she forgot one thing. These bat monsters and the besieging long-haired wolves would not cooperate obediently. Just as she turned around, she heard a cautious voice behind her. Before she could turn around, the long-haired wolf pounced on her from behind. She reacted very quickly and flexibly, twisting her body to avoid it and using her backhanded axe to chop the wolf's head crooked. However, the other two bat monsters had already pounced on her and knocked her down. They used their sharp claws and her face was immediately covered with blood. With a scream, one of her eyes was directly gouged out.
Lin Xiao sighed secretly, and time travel flashed by, cutting off two bat monsters whose minds were stagnant. He hugged the fallen Zhuo Jing and kicked the long-haired wolf towards the other two classmates with his backhand, killing them in mid-air.
He put her on the ground, took off his big black-framed glasses and parted his thick bangs. An extremely delicate girl's face appeared in front of him. Unfortunately, the bloody eye sockets ruined this beautiful face.
Unexpectedly, she is the legendary treasure girl, but unfortunately her luck is not very good.
If she didn't receive treatment for such a serious injury, she would surely die. The heavy bleeding and wound infection would take her life. But it was different in this world. When they killed monsters to gain evolution points and power, they had certain healing and recovery effects. So her left eye would definitely not be saved, but there was no heavy bleeding or infection, so her life was saved.
For a girl, especially such a beautiful girl, being disfigured is more terrible and difficult to accept than losing her life, but she was only sad for one night. When they set off the next day, she came to Lin Xiao again and looked at him.
Lin Xiao looked at her left eye, which was hastily covered with a cloth, and her determined right eye, and nodded:
"bring it on."
She had the courage to continue following him even after facing disfigurement and near-death. This kind of courage and firm belief deserves recognition, and Lin Xiao certainly did not hesitate to give her a chance.
What happened next was the same as yesterday, starting from the school gate. After yesterday's tragic incident, they became more vigilant and their fighting capacity increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhuo Jing was especially so. Every time she faced a hairy wolf or a bat monster alone, she would soon become covered in wounds. Her delicate skin was covered with bloody wounds without even crying out in pain.
What impressed Lin Xiao the most was her learning ability. He was surprised to find that Zhuo Jing possessed a very strong fighting talent. She not only imitated his fighting style, but also did not imitate it directly. Instead, she combined her own conditions to form a set of her own fighting style, which surprised him very much.
Lin Xiao quickly became interested, and in the following time he gave her special instructions and gave her some special training.
By noon on the sixth day, she had successfully evolved to the first level after killing two long-haired wolves.
Everyone gathered around curiously. Lin Xiao stood in front of Zhuo Jing, who was ascending with her eyes closed, and carefully looked at her face and hands. The scars that were visible to the naked eye had disappeared, and her skin had returned to its girlish whiteness and tenderness. Everyone was amazed.
He couldn't help but stretch out his fingers to touch her face, which seemed so smooth and tender, with a hint of blush on it. He paused and withdrew his hand, and saw that she opened her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was a little shy.
"how do you feel?"
"It's a very powerful force."
"Let me see."
He stretched out his hand, Zhuo Jing pursed her lips and stretched out her hand as well. Lin Xiao didn't think too much about it. He held her small hand completely with his big hand and applied a little force, then nodded and said,
"The power of all first-level evolvers should be the same."
Now that he had a first-order evolver, and Zhuo Jing was very strong in both character and talent, and no one among her classmates at the same level could match her, Lin Xiao was ready to let go.
Let her lead the team to train nearby, and he went further into the depths of the jungle to find more powerful monsters. Two days have been delayed, and he needs to continue growing.
When he returned to the classroom at the end of the day, he told them his decision. Although they were reluctant, they knew that the team needed a strong person.
They are all students who have not yet left school. Their thinking is relatively simple and they are not so greedy. If they are adults who have been in society for a long time, they will not think like this.
When they returned to the teaching building, the boys from another class just came back. Seeing them, they smiled a little awkwardly and went upstairs.
Some students have already come out from the corridor on the fourth floor. After their daily extermination, there are usually no monsters in the school. After a few days, they have the courage to come out, but they still don't have the courage to go out and take risks. Lin Xiao is too lazy to say anything. His destiny is in his own hands. If he doesn't seize the opportunity, there will be nothing he can do.
Besides, they also need some ordinary people to take care of some small things, things like cooking and washing clothes must be handed over to them now.
At night, Lin Xiao, who was sleeping at the door of another classroom, suddenly opened his eyes and saw Zhuo Jing standing quietly in front of him. She saw him wake up and whispered,
"Lin Xiao, can you come out for a moment? I have a question for you."
In the corridor, he looked at the completely dark outside the school without a single star and asked:
"Is there a problem?"
The girl said:
"I seem to have awakened a talent today, but I don't know how to use it. I want to ask you."
