61. Mutant spirit
Although it is incomparable to the old man's crimson spirit, Li Yi is unable to resist. The body of this spirit is between nothingness and entity, with a dark blue color, and has faintly transformed towards light green. It seems that it is already the last level of the blue spirit, and it is about to break through to become a terrifying existence of the green spirit.
When ordinary city-states saw the phantom of a monster suddenly appear, they suddenly felt extremely panic and screamed and ran away in scattered places.
A strong smell of sulfur hits the face! The heat wave rolls, and Li Yi seems to be on the crater that is about to erupt!
This is a fire spirit that can control the power of flames. It looks a bit like Minotaus in Greek mythology. Two big horns stretched from the back of the head to the forehead, and their red eyes seemed to burn flames from hell, and their huge rock-like mouths exuded a scorching breath.
Its whole body was covered with dark red rock armor, and its sharp claws made deep marks on the ground. The solid rocks were cut open like tofu, as if burning blue spiritual power was wrapped around the monster, and the powerful and heart-wrenching spiritual pressure drifted like thick smoke.
"Damn it! This guy is too powerful, what should I do?" Li Yi was pressed back by the rolling flames, and his hair was a little burnt. He touched the little thing on his left wrist. His tentacles were cold and smooth, motionless, as if they were frightened.
Li Yi faced a blue D-level fire spirit alone, and the heat waves and smoke made him unable to open his eyes. The other party was too powerful, so he could not have any thoughts of resistance. Should he wait for death helplessly?
"I have lost my family since I was a child, food and clean water, and my living space. I can only live in a rough cement pipe. Later, I became more and more timid, and I lost the protection of the law, and even my eyes. I have lost enough." He half-kneeled on the ground and said silently.
"Haha, is this begging me for mercy? I beg me to let you go and don't kill you. People will show a dog-like personality when facing death. However, in order not to let others know that I have a mutant spirit, you must die! If you want to resent, resent your fate! Being weak is a sin in itself! Crodo, kill him!" Harry smiled and waved his hand.
What will death bring? Endless darkness, or will the smoke and clouds disappear after a short period of pain? Li Yi finally understood that reality is always more cruel than he imagined. The explorer's world is more rules than human society. Only when it is powerful can it be eternal.
"My life is so small to you, but that is unique to me, it is my last inch of territory. In this inch of territory, I am free, and I will no longer allow others to trample on it easily!" Li Yi whispered. The three-color rose pupils on his left wrist moved slightly, as if he understood his words. For so many years, it has lived in Li Yi's eyes and depended on him for life, and has formed an extremely special relationship.
"No matter how hard a little mouse struggles, it's still a mouse after all. Crodo, tear his body apart!" Harry was disdainful, and he pressed step by step to kill Li Yi!
The Fire Spirit Crodo was obviously influenced by his master, cruel and cunning. He stared at Li Yi. Such a weak prey without any resistance is very suitable for playing, but the master asked to kill the other party immediately, which was much boring.
"Huh!" It pounced on Li Yi, swung its claws violently, and its sharp nails tear apart the air and made a harsh roar. With such a fierce blow, even the steel would be torn into two!
"Ah!" A shrill scream sounded, and blood burst out. Crodo licked his paws with satisfaction, savoring the wonderful feeling of tearing his flesh apart just now. The little mouse's body must have been caught.
Suddenly, it felt that the contract chain established by it and its master disappeared! Its body gradually disintegrated and finally turned into a huge blue spiritual power and disappeared.
Li Yi had no idea what had happened at all, and saw the cruel fire spirit suddenly turn around and tore its owner Harry into flesh and blood. Then he disappeared himself. The plasma on the ground was filled with blood and the pungent bloody smell made him run away without time to think too much.
Sitting under the eaves of a house, Li Yi's heart was beating violently, as if he was about to rush out of his chest. The excessive bloodiness made his mind confused. The living flesh and blood still squirming on the ground made him retching. It took him half an hour to get a little better, and his clothes were wet with sweat.
"It was me who turned out to be that way, why did the fire spirit mistakenly treat Harry as me? Did you save me?" He asked the three-color rose pupils on his left wrist, "But you are actually a mutant spirit. Although I don't know the meaning of the mutant spirit, it's better not to let others see it, otherwise there will be trouble again."
He remembered Harry's words, even the old man who cured his eyes would be moved. Don't be such a strong man, even ordinary explorers like Harry could not resist.
After getting clear information from the three-color rose pupils, Li Yi felt the power of the mutant spirit more and more. A young creature who had not established a contract could distort the consciousness of a spirit close to the green level. It was so terrible!
The three-color rose pupil has a strong hidden ability, and its body is also a completely empty spiritual body. It is hidden in Li Yi's left hand heart. Even he himself cannot feel a spirit there, and he completely restrained his spiritual power.
"These explorers have regarded killing as commonplace and have no restrictions at all." He was a little confused. Should the explorer do this because of this? He is not a person who likes killing by nature, but instead of slaughtering each other so cruelly, it is better to forget his identity as an explorer and become an ordinary person.
"But once I settled for the status quo, what can I rely on when I encounter such a danger again? Can I only respond to the damage suffered with complaints?" Li Yi's eyes slowly became firm, and he went straight to the dock. The city was under martial law, and a large number of city guards blocked the scene of the accident. Harry's identity as an explorer would cause great trouble. The organization behind him would also come forward to investigate, so he had to leave this place of failure as soon as possible.
The night became more and more intense, and the city was noisy. At this time, Li Yi had already left the city. The boats at the pier were not really visible in the night. Some fishermen were fishing for crabs with orange-red star anise lamps. More boatmen were already asleep. After all, they had to drive the boat the next day.
Relying on a big tree, Li Yi was not sleepy at all. The fear between life and death made him tight all over. He felt how isolated he was and what kind of secret he was with! Once a mutant spirit was discovered, it would be another catastrophe.
"Why do I get scared when I think of these life-threatening problems? Maybe it's a natural reaction, but even if I'm extremely scared, I can't retreat." He smelled the faint rosin fragrance emitted from the bark, and his tired heart was gradually soothed, and he fell asleep unknowingly.
The sound of the whistle woke him up the next day, and Li Yi boarded a boat heading to the Red Rock City State. He would spend the whole day on the Knodo River, and the boat would not reach his destination the next morning.
This is a large three-masted sailboat - Supor. The bow is a sculpture of the goddess of the ocean blowing the conch horn. The deck is coated with thick asphalt, with a strong and stimulating smell.
"Child, do you want some clams?" A crew member promoted Li Yi this leisurely delicacy. Since the sea boat set off from the seaside port and arrived in Clundia, there was no shortage of seafood.
"How much does one cost?" "Just eight copper coins."
Li Yi was very interested in this, and peeled it and tasted it. It tasted as wonderful as crispy candy. "It's amazing!" He threw the leftover shells into the river and splashed a small splash of water.
The river is not wide, and the rainy summer has passed, and it is the dry season of autumn. Whenever this time, otters will always twist their plump butts in the river to look for clams and fish. They want to raise fat in autumn.
It is best to survive the cold winter, so the sound of the water plants along the coast always exists in the dead branches.
The crew was catching otters with harpoons. A good otter skin could be sold for a silver coin. This smooth and thick leather was loved by noble ladies in the city.
Li Yi tried his best to avoid contact with others, which seemed very encouraged. He stayed silently at the stern of the boat. These days, the things that happened one after another seemed like dreams. He hoped that he could wake up as soon as possible, but reality always pushed him forward. He also fantasized that he would become a great explorer, but he also knew that this was just a fantasy after all.
Li Yi spent the twenty hours on the boat very happy. He hadn't relaxed like this for a long time. The stable travel made people feel happy both physically and mentally. He even longed to own a boat of his own, a single yacht or a giant tanker at sea. He could drive them to the deep sea to catch tuna and rays.
The closer we are to the Red Rock City State, the water of the Knodo River becomes redder and brown, and the soil along the river begins to turn red. The ore, soil and water here contain a large amount of iron. There are large and small mines in the mountains surrounding the city state. This is also the mining center of the entire continent. The continuous iron ore is excavated and transported into a blast furnace that reaches the sky for refining. The iron is poured into steel ingots.
Li Yi used the last money to buy a gray shirt, and Toga made him feel inconvenient to mobility and was too formal. But even if he changed into new clothes, he still looked a little rustic, but the firmness and maturity between his eyebrows were unable to be underestimated.
According to the map sign towering at the intersection, it took him an hour to cross half of the city to reach the Sky Courtyard. As he expected, there were many explorers in strange clothes, who were in a hurry and did not seem to live here.
When Li Yi came to the iconic square arch of the Sky Courtyard, he did not see any guard. Only some people wearing courtyard costumes came in and out. In front of him was an auditorium-style building with a gray tone. There was a large wall clock on the dome spire, surrounded by sculptures of small angels and rose branches.
There was no one in the auditorium. The dew in the morning moistened the green lawn. He wandered around aimlessly, trying to find a teacher and handed over his recommendation letter. But after searching for a long time, he got lost. There were square buildings with round window lattices with a small difference. Often, he didn't know where he came from when he turned around.
"How could this happen?" Li Yi was extremely depressed. He really wanted to shout loudly and break the quiet morning. Maybe someone would come out to talk to him at that time and then he could ask what he wanted to know, but reason told him that it would be better not to do that. Any rude behavior is unwelcome.
It was not until the sun came out that he saw a middle-aged man walking towards him with a snow-white hunting dog. The man was wearing a black robe, a green badge with four-star patterns on his chest, and a golden monkey lay lazily on his shoulders, as if he was a teacher in the college.
"Hello, sir." Li Yi stopped him, and after greeting him politely, he handed over the sheepskin letter the old man gave him.
"Professor Gomez recommends you to join the hospital...Awakening at the age of twelve, well, you are qualified to accept the recommendation, but if you want to join, we have to do more tests. After all, awakening time only accounts for part of the qualifications, and even Mr. Gomez cannot violate the regulations of the hospital." The middle-aged man looked very kind, and he hugged Li Yi's shoulder to him.
"There are other tests?" Li Yi asked in confusion. Unexpectedly, this letter only gave him the opportunity to enter the hospital for testing, and actually joining the hospital depends on the results of the test.
"Haha, don't worry, this test is mainly aimed at students who are too old, and test their spiritual affinity. We have always been very welcome to young geniuses." The teacher explained with a smile.
"What do you mean is that this test is to give those over-aged students the chance to join the hospital?" Li Yi immediately understood.
"That's true. The higher the spiritual affinity, the higher the synchronization rate between the explorer and the spirit, and the chance of the spirit being promoted to a higher level. Of course, the easier it is to sign a contract with high-qualified young creatures at the beginning. I am Professor Sidi, and I'm very happy to know you. You seem to be much more mature than your peers."
"I'm very happy to see you. I'm Li Yi," Li Yi paused and said, "If you experience too much, you will naturally mature." He smiled.
"Haha, the world of Ling. is really wonderful and endless. You will know in the future. By the way, now is the time for our autumn enrollment. You can attend the opening ceremony with the freshmen, just two days later. Should you choose to borrow or join the school?" Sidi suddenly restrained her smile and asked seriously.
"What is borrowing school? What is joining the college again? Am I not joining the college?" Li Yi didn't understand the joints.
"Borrowing is that you have nothing to do with the college. You just study here. We cannot provide you with knowledge for free. You have to pay or labor for the knowledge you obtain. We are in a cooperative relationship. And when you become a powerful explorer after graduation, we can also have a good employment relationship. When joining the college, you will become a person from the Sky Hospital and have harsh contracts. If you do things for the Sky Hospital, we are also responsible for you. During your studies at school, you can also get more resources for free. Our Sky Hospital is a top force on the mainland. You can use the hospital's method to recruit talented students. You can choose to join or rely on your own abilities to purchase knowledge. In principle, I will not interfere with your choice, but for an ordinary student without a background, borrowing is too difficult and difficult." He detailed.
