Chapter 53
In Jiang Yunu's life in another world so far, her first goal after coming here was to survive.
No matter how bad the environment is, no matter what difficulties she encounters, she will try not to give up and live.
When "survival" was no longer the primary problem, she went to Chat City and was helped by the kind-hearted Joyson family next door, and had a stable source of survival supplies.
At this time, she came into contact with superpowers and realized that superpowers existed in this world.
Finding a way to enroll in school and further learn supernatural powers is the second goal Jiang Yunu set for himself.
Now, she has successfully studied at the Enger Primary School for Special Abilities. Campus life has far exceeded her expectations and is even better than what she had imagined on the second floor of the small garbage house.
The battle video she unexpectedly saw was like a new target for her.
Jiang Yunu also likes challenges. She is the kind of person who will take the initiative to set stage goals for her life and then keep working towards her goals.
If she could achieve better combat results than him...
Jiang Yunu lay on her single bed in the dormitory, daydreaming. Her gaze moved from the ceiling to the still-open floating screen of the terminal. On the page she had not yet closed, Shen Yijing from Duma Academy was once again sheathing his sword in the rain of blood. Then, the other party sensed the moving camera flying closer and glanced in the direction of the lens.
The angle of this glance was just right, and it seemed like I was looking at someone outside the screen.
Jiang Yunu calmly "looked" at the senior student who was still wearing a neat combat uniform in the bloody rain. She only remembered the other person's name.
If she really surpassed this person, wouldn't she also feel a wonderful sense of accomplishment as if she surpassed the moon?
With a friend like Joyson whose thinking diverges from time to time, Jiang Yunu feels that she has also become better at coming up with creative ideas.
She may also have a special interest in things related to the "moon".
After all, when she was on the isolated island, she had been chatting with the moon in the sky for a long time.
At that time, apart from the white-haired child "Twenty-Two" who was placed on a bench by the wall, the moon on the top of the desolate mountain listened to Jiang Yunu talk the most.
Surpassing the "moon" sounds interesting, but before that, Jiang Yunu still has to return to reality.
If she wants to surpass the "Moon" in future battle record, she must first successfully kill the remaining two wind elemental beasts tonight, collect 8 wind elemental crystal cores, and then see if she can unlock the primary fire elemental beast - this is just playing the holographic game.
Jiang Yunu has never been afraid of setting her goals too high. She will only know whether they are high or not after she has tried them.
Since she and Joyson were going home next week, they temporarily withdrew from the "battlefield" for next week's simulator reservations this Sunday night, and did not rush to grab them like they did last week.
Joyce made an appointment with Jiang Yunuo to meet at the dormitory gate at 8:30 pm.
The two met smoothly first, and then walked towards the multi-purpose building together.
This was only the second time for Joeysen to take the plane. Yesterday morning, he and Jiang Yunu walked the route back and forth, but he felt that the route slipped away in his mind like water. He only had a general idea of which direction to go after leaving the dormitory area. As for the specific fork in the road, whether to go left or right, and how many forks in the road he had to pass before he could actually turn into the campus street where the multi-purpose building was located, he was completely confused.
However, Jiang Yunu advanced smoothly all the way.
Compared to Jiang Yunu, he felt like a complete idiot. Looking at her familiar expression, Qiao Yisen said, "It doesn't seem like you've just been to the multi-purpose building a few more times than I have. It's more like you've gone to school for half a year longer than I have."
Jiang Yunu replied: "Your illusion."
Joyson pointed out, "But you're really familiar with the route, just like you've walked every street on campus countless times."
"First of all, I'm not familiar with any of the streets in the school." Jiang Yunu also pointed out the flaw in Joyce's words. She calmly said that there were many places in the school that she was still unfamiliar with, but it was indeed easier for her to remember the way.
"I can remember every route I've ever taken, that's all," Jiang Yunu said. "If you go to a new place and walk the entire way from the starting point to the end point, won't the route be automatically imprinted in your mind?"
Joyson: "...No, my brain doesn't seem to have this automatic memory function."
The two chatted for a while and then arrived at the multi-purpose building.
We entered the computer classroom on time, and Jiang Yunu and Qiao Yisen's simulation cabins were consecutive numbers.
Joyson got into the one on the right, ready to face his first battle in the novice battlefield.
Jiang Yunu stepped into the platform on the left with mixed feelings, to greet her novice trial battle which should be coming to an end, but might not be finished tonight.
Jiang Yunu was attacked just after entering the game.
This raid was not easy to detect. She once again felt the changes in wind direction and speed around her while the game was still loading.
The game system seemed to like arranging some unexpected events for her.
She had encountered an ambush by the "crocodile" when she was fighting the water elemental beast before. When she defeated the wind elemental beast, Jiang Yunu was surprised at first. She felt that the system had not played tricks in the last two times she logged on, allowing her to focus on fighting the wind elemental beast for two consecutive times without any "accidents".
Look, maybe because she was about to fight the last two primary wind elemental beasts tonight, something unexpected happened.
Jiang Yunu's feet were on the ground for less than a second. She felt the soles of her shoes just touching the ground, and the next moment her collar tightened, and the narrowed collar tightly squeezed the skin on her neck.
In a sudden attack of suffocation, Jiang Yunu was caught and lifted into the sky.
“——cough cough cough!”
The skin in front of his neck was squeezed, and his throat and trachea were also compressed. Under the pressure, Jiang Yunu could not resist his physiological instinct and choked and coughed.
But she coughed and grabbed the spatula in her hand.
Then he thrust back with his backhand—
The "big bird" whistled behind her.
When a person's neck is compressed without any warning, it is easy for him to quickly faint, and his limbs will quickly become limp and powerless.
Jiang Yunu got to the ground area before the wind elemental beast could take her away from the cliff. She did not have a few seconds to lose consciousness, so she acted decisively. She stabbed backwards based on the feel of the first six wind elemental beasts. When she felt the edge of the spatula had successfully penetrated the body of the "big bird", she immediately exerted force with her forearm to push the hard spatula deeper.
"Let me go—" Jiang Yunu gathered all his strength, grabbed the long handle of the spatula that had been deeply inserted, and stirred it, "—Get off!"
Amid the whistling wind, Jiang Yunu's voice was resolute and powerful.
Just like the move she used to inflict heavy damage on Big Bird.
The cry of the "big bird" close at hand suddenly turned into a shriek. The sharp weapon stirred in its body by Jiang Yunu made it feel unbearable pain. Blood gushed out from its abdomen in an instant, flowing down the edge of the spatula that was still stuck in its body by Jiang Yunu, and all fell into Jiang Yunu's hand.
Jiang Yunu did not hesitate and turned his wrist again while holding the spatula.
Between her exhaustion from suffocation and the wind elemental beast's exhaustion from the pain, it was obvious that Jiang Yunu won.
The "big bird" no longer had enough strength in its legs, and its claws showed signs of loosening. Jiang Yunu immediately pulled the spatula out of the bird's belly with force. When she pulled the spatula out, a large amount of the elemental beast's blood splashed on her face and body, but she didn't care. She just quickly blinked away a drop of blood that fell on her eyelashes and obstructed her vision, then swung the spatula backhand - cutting off the back of her own collar.
Jiang Yunu has recently become very skilled at using a shovel to cut the collar of clothes.
The back collar was abandoned, and the "big bird" had no time to continue chasing Jiang Yunu, and Jiang Yunu began to fall freely above the cliff.
But fortunately, she reacted quickly and acted decisively.
The sudden attack of the wind elemental beast did not carry Jiang Yunu very high off the ground, and the height of her fall was still within an acceptable range.
Jiang Yunu rolled when he landed, which also reduced the impact of the ground.
Then she rose and moved into the woods—
To some extent, Jiang Yunu can say "Thank you" to this raid.
Because before that she had to go through the pre-process of "luring the enemy with her own body - deliberately being taken to the sky - waiting for the elemental beast to fly back to the sky above the cliff and then taking action." By completing this process, she led the injured wind elemental beast into the grove, and finally engaged in close combat.
A surprise attack directly saved the entire process of luring the enemy. Not long after Jiang Yunu moved into the woods, the "big bird" that had recovered a little rushed into the woods angrily, as if it would not stop until it poked Jiang Yunu with its beak and sharp claws.
But one can imagine how impressive the "big bird" was when it rushed into the woods, leaving the beast seriously injured and making a desperate move.
As long as it lands on the ground battlefield, Jiang Yunu will become the winner again.
When Jiang Yunu turned over and got off the back of the wind elemental beast that seemed to be unable to move, the seventh amber crystal core was already in her hand.
The crystal core in her hand was still warm, and the eighth wind elemental beast had been refreshed by the system. New wind sounds and chirping sounds came into the woods.
Jiang Yunu quickly got the eighth amber crystal core.
At this moment, she estimated the time and found that only half an hour had passed since she logged into the game.
"Is this considered rushing through the process tonight?" Jiang Yunu muttered.
It only took half an hour to beat two of them, which was a huge improvement compared to her previous efforts.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly shook slightly, and Jiang Yunu also heard a cracking sound as if a huge object was splitting apart from the inside.
She followed the source of the sound to the side of the woods and found that the cliff had cracked from the side, forming a natural stone path leading to the bottom of the valley below.
This was the first time Jiang Yunu saw the system automatically expand the map.
She stood at the top of the stone path and looked down along the newly formed road. A bit of orange-red could be seen at the bottom of the valley. The bright color was very clear even from a long distance, and it spread across the ground in a spider-web pattern.
Jiang Yunu looked at it for a while and then reacted.
That is the color of flames flowing on the ground.
