Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: Chapter 24 - A Few Signs of Danger
Back in the moment Liu Xiu started to wake up....
Liu Xiu felt himself in the darkness, and his body which all felt warm and comfortable, again felt a piercing chill. He knew he was back in his own world.
He opened his eyes slowly, finding the usual forest, with moonlight barging through the gaps of the trees.
Look to the right and left, making sure there is no danger lurking around it. After being sure, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Yes. Nothing special." whispered.
Actually he intends to sleep, rest his body after training all night. But unexpectedly when he got down from the rock and walked slowly, his body felt fit! All the fatigue both mental and physical is gone, like a lie.
"Hummmmd. Was when I was in the spirit realm, my body in the real world resting? And again, since my spirit is gone, my body can rest very well, right?" thought Liu Xiu.
He began to get the idea of frequently visiting the spirit realm just to rest.
But now he doesn't know what to do. At least, if he continued to train, the time available was very responsible.
"Maybe I'll eradicate some monsters? Just count it as a cooling?" said slowly.
However, just as he started to put on his clothes before leaving, he felt the gazes of people's eyes. No, from the beginning, he felt this. But Liu Xiu paid no heed to it, as it was obvious that people would keep an eye on the figure he found in the forest at midnight.
("Then, I felt a strong killing intent, as well as a sense of pleasure in this desire.") Liu Xiu thought.
Since the other party did not show his nose, Liu Xiu could only catch his breath, giving up.
He picked up a pebble, and threw it slowly in the direction where the person was hiding. There was a soft typing sound, the sign of the stone hitting something. But that guy didn't come out.
"Hey. You've been caught, you know! Just out. Otherwise I will attack!" liu Xiu said a little threateningly.
Liu Xiu counted in his heart a few counts, before finally a prickly ragged voice rang out from the bush he was throwing stones at, and someone appeared from there!
He was a young man, with a tall stature, enough to make Liu Xiu look up when he looked at him. His body was not too fat, and his carriage was calm.
With long hair tied to the potluck, plus wide clothes with armor that slightly reminded Liu Xiu of the swordsman in the story.
"Ahhhh, I didn't mean to do anything strange, so don't attack me" he said, raising his hand.
Even so, Liu Xiu still showed a wary face while continuing to observe the young man's every move. It clearly made him frown, confused.
"No-no. Don't look at me with those eyes. So here's. I was on patrol in the forest, and felt something interesting from this direction. So obviously I'm here naturally, aren't I? Especially in the middle of the forest at night like this, I need to be vigilant" said the young man raising both his hands.
Hearing that, Liu Xiu only sighed, tired. Because anyway, it's true.
"alright. I'm sorry I suspected you. If you can, can you tell me your name? At least, the person who mentioned the name was not a suspicious person" Liu Xiu said half-laughing.
The young man giggled softly, quick to take a few steps forward, revealing his entire body under the moonlight.
"Include me, my name is Rhion. I am a spirit warrior. I cooperate with the spirit to become my strength, so that I can fight with the life force" said the young man, who called himself Rhion.
DEG!!!!
Liu Xiu's heart suddenly beat hard. It made Liu Xiu slightly surprised, and speechless.
("What's wrong with me? Am I scared? No way, right?") liu Xiu thought in his heart. Although his heart said so, but in fact he took a step back when Rhion introduced himself.
But, Liu Xiu still tried to maintain the look on his face with the [Poker Face] skill.
"Huum. It seems you're not lying. But, Rhion. Looks like your name is a little foreign here. Where you from? Are you an adventurer around here?" liu Xiu asked a little probing.
"Ahhh, I am an adventurer sent by the Guild from Huang Xi city. I'm here to watch the terrain. Anyway, we'll work here later" he said with a slightly awkward smile.
"And actually, I'm not an South African. I am from the Kingdom of Sierch, and for some reason, I went to South Africa. One of them is economics, maybe?" continued.
Liu Xiu only nodded hearing that, as he watched Rion who was before him, including the long ears that were characteristic of his race. He seems to have his own thoughts.
Quite a long time of silence, until Rion tilted his head, confused.
"Ahh, sorry. I just daydream! Alright introduce. My name is Liu Xiu. I am from Fuheng and I am also the business of the Guild of that city. Looks like we're meeting, right?" liu Xiu answered extending his hand.
Rion accepted that, while slightly saying a few words of comfort.
"On that, you know? I am a Spirit Scholar. The spirit that is my partner feels that there is a huge life energy in this direction. I also had a chance to feel it, so I followed it."
"But the energy suddenly disappeared, and when I got here, there was only you meditating." explained Rion at length.
Liu Xiu slightly gasped at hearing that, but he still tried to calm down.
"The energy, there's no way I can, right?" ask Liu Xiu.
"No no! If I look at you, honestly your life energy is very low, like a human child." Rion replied with a slight laugh.
"Yahh, that's. I'm a human child."
"Ups! I-i'm sorry! Did that offend you?"
"No, don't think about it. I'm used to being called that. There are even worse ones" Liu Xiu said calmly. But in his heart, he was so grateful for that.
That meant that Yuu Chang's relic really worked, and again it was at a very precise moment.
Liu Xiu felt that he would be in a troublesome situation if Rhion found him with insane life energy.
"alright. Looks like we'll be working together in a few days, right?" liu Xiu asked half-laughing.
"You're right. It's nice to work with you. Do you have anything unsatisfactory, to bring you here? Or maybe you have a special reason?" rhion asked slightly raising his eyebrows.
"Humm, right. I'm trying to control my energy and my life. You know, he said it would be useful in a fight."
"Oh yeah! You're a spirit swordsman, aren't you? What if you taught me some little tricks that beginners can use?" continued Liu Xiu while asking.
"true too.... The only thing a beginner can do is..."
?!!
("What is this?! The magic? How could this be so disgusting? No. gabe. That's not important. Most importantly, this was a huge magic! Level town? Why would this person cast magic with such a scale?!!") thought Liu Xiu while starting to be wary.
He slightly turned his head towards the direction he sensed the magic, while continuing to focus towards the surrounding mana flow.
DAR BOMB BOMB BOMB!!!
The sound of the barrage of explosions rang out, leaving the two of them shocked.
"Are you going, Liu Xiu?" ask Rhion quickly.
"Of course!" Liu Xiu replied firmly.
The two of them immediately ran, at an unusual speed.
("The distance is far enough. With this speed, we'll be up to about 20 minutes!") liu Xiu's mind estimated with explosive sounds and their speed.
("And what's worse, the mana flow in the air is so pitiful! At this rate it would be dangerous for living beings around!") thought Liu Xiu.
Meanwhile, the explosion did not stop. It only made Liu Xiu even more frantic, thinking about who was up against what, or vice versa.
What worries him the most is...
("Slow! Rhion is really slow! Why was he running on the ground, whereas jumping from tree to tree was easier! Though her running was much slower than Eina who was just an alchemist!") liu Xiu shouted in his heart.
Liu Xiu nagged in his heart. Liu Xiu himself could arrive in just a few minutes if he used his strongest speed.
But, if he ran faster than Rhion, there could be more severe problems later.
After that, he thought of a way.
"Huff. It's exhausting! Rhion! You go first! I'll rest a while!" liu Xiu shouted while slowing down. It made Rhion pause for a moment, and smiled slightly, but he still nodded.
"All right! I'll make sure I get there fast!" shout Rhion.
That way Liu Xiu had already broken away with Rhion.
"alright. Sorry, Rhion. I just thought of it this way!" liu Xiu whispered, as he darted away slightly twisting to walk much faster than Rhion.
