"Die!"

"No..."

Along with the screams of the demon root, there was also the friction sound of Guan Liyuan's bone blade piercing into the blood-red fruit bit by bit!

This fruit, which looks red and pleasing, is actually as tough as iron.

If the demon root still has a main root connected to the Diaolonggou... No, even if the demon root did not leave a main root there at the beginning, causing itself to be seriously injured and attacked, I am afraid Guan Liyuan may not be able to pierce the fruit!

But there is no "if". In the state of "bone conduction", with the full professional power of the bone vein, the bone blade directly pierced the blood-red fruit...

Hee-hee-whoosh-

the root tentacles of the demon root main body twisted wildly and irregularly, and the sound emitted became more and more ferocious and sharp, but this time it gave people a feeling of dying wailing!

"Be careful, come down quickly!" Wei Yingying shouted loudly.

But it was still a step too late. The demon root main body exploded all over, and Guan Liyuan was also hit by several scattered tentacles, flying far away and rolling on the ground for several times!

"Liyuan..."

Guan Liyuan felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart. He vaguely heard Wei Yingying and Zhong Liqiu calling him. After vaguely seeing their voices, he lost consciousness.

...

When he opened his eyes again, Guan Liyuan found himself in the room. He looked around and knew that this was the guest room of Zhongli's house... the one he had occupied for a long time.

"I actually had such power before I died..." Guan Liyuan recalled the things before he fainted bit by bit.

Suddenly, Guan Liyuan seemed to feel something. He looked at his hands in shock and then looked at his chest and abdomen: "Huh? Wait! This, this is..."

At this moment, the door of the room opened, and it was Wei Yingying and Zhong Liqiu who came in.

"Ah! Liyuan, you're awake." Zhong Liqiu exclaimed.

"Really, you two... Normally, shouldn't there be someone guarding me all night, so that when I wake up, I can see it the first time?"

"Tsk, you're dreaming." Zhong Liqiu pouted at Guan Liyuan's "fantasy".

Guan Liyuan was obviously silent for a while, and then hesitantly asked: "That... Teacher Liu Qing..."

"She died." Wei Yingying whispered.

Although Guan Liyuan had guessed that this would be the result, he still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing the news.

"Where are the others?" Guan Liyuan asked after a silence.

"After you fainted for most of the day, we met Dean Lin and were sent back to Dulan City by him. The crisis in Dulan City was probably resolved at that time... The garrison of Dulan City suffered heavy casualties, and Councillor Liu Changqing died in the battle. In addition to Teacher Liu Qing, seven other lecturers died in the academy, and the students... 36 survived." Wei Yingying said. "

..."

According to Dongfang Ying's statement at the time, when he led people to evacuate from the underground defense system, many lecturers entangled the besieged mutant pack beasts, as well as the mobilized abyss servants and abyss elite soldiers in the academy, which was considered to be the rear guard for the students.

In addition to Dongfang Ying's team, there were two other teams of students who also successfully evacuated the academy...

But there were still some students who didn't even have time to evacuate the academy, and the other two teams of students who escaped were attacked to varying degrees afterwards.

The team led by Guan Liyuan, Dongfang Ying and others was the worst. When they met Dean Lin, there were only nine students alive!

Of the more than 100 new professionals in the entire academy, only 30% survived this battle...

Seeing Guan Liyuan's silence, Wei Yingying tried to liven up the atmosphere and said, "How are your injuries? Dongfang Ying and the others... Dean Lin, Councillor Cai and others are still shocked by the lord-level projection you summoned! That is at least the projection of a king-level creature, right?"

"I don't know the details, well, anyway, it was attracted by my pure heart!" Guan Liyuan hadn't figured out how to make up a story yet, so he could only use this universal reason first.

"It was that 'expert' who helped you contact the 'Flying Dragon King', right?" Wei Yingying looked at Guan Liyuan with contempt.

As if to say: I have already guessed it, what pure heart!

"Eh? Yes, yes..." Guan Liyuan realized at this time that everyone had already thought of the reason for him!

"Ask the servant to bring in what you want to eat, and have a good rest after eating! Since you are awake...get up early tomorrow and go to Duran Square. There will be a ceremony to commemorate the victims and celebrate this victory." Wei Yingying said.

Guan Liyuan has been in a coma for six days. Tomorrow is the seventh day when many victims, including Instructor Liu Qing, died in the battle, and it is also the seventh day of "victory"!

"Commemorate...celebrate..." Guan Liyuan is still a little uncomfortable putting these two activities together.

But he understands that this is a tradition that has been maintained for hundreds of years in Duran City...no, in human society!

Thousands of years ago, the entrance to the abyss appeared in the west of the continent. After the influx of countless abyss creatures ended the Middle Ages, humans entered the late ancient times, where their habitats were constantly falling for seven hundred years...

As human professionals gradually became more efficient and stronger, and as their habitats gradually decreased, the attacks of abyss creatures gradually eased, because the abyss kings who were independent gradually felt that it was more efficient to seize territory from other kings than to attack the only remaining paradise of mankind!

In the past three hundred years, the area of ​​the "paradise" has not changed much.

However, the war between humans and abyss creatures has never stopped. Every year, countless professionals are killed and injured. Whenever an incident like this occurs, humans will hold a ceremony as grand as possible after the battle!

Usually in the morning, they commemorate the sacrificed heroes, and in the afternoon and evening, it is time to "celebrate". Even if it is just for everyone to be alive, they have to celebrate... Not

for pleasure, but for everyone's spirit not to be overwhelmed by fear!

The string of "war" has been broken for thousands of years for the humans in the main world. If they don't find a way to reduce pressure, I'm afraid they would have collapsed long ago!

"By the way, your body should be fine, right? During the previous checkup, you recovered very quickly, it seems..." Wei Yingying had a vague guess because she had once replaced Guan Liyuan's body.

"Yes, the skill 'Bone Hyperplasia' also completed its transformation after killing the Demon Root Lord, so when I was attacked, my bones were constantly being destroyed and regenerated." Guan Liyuan said.

Killing abyssal creatures can promote the transformation of skills...

Guan Liyuan and others teamed up to defeat the boss N levels higher this time. Under this once-in-a-century opportunity, almost everyone present at the time transformed at least one skill after killing the Demon Root Lord. Zhong Liqiu, who was already a beginner professional before, jumped a step and directly reached the middle of the beginner level!

As the last person to finish off the enemy, Guan Liyuan naturally gained a lot.

"The third skill of the 'Bone Veiner' has also transformed? Has it been named?" Zhong Liqiu asked curiously.

"Let's call it 'Heaven Bone Armor'! In fact, this should be considered a passive skill... Now that the 'Heaven Bone Armor' is fully formed, my ability to defend my body and control my own bones has been greatly improved." Guan Liyuan said, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

After Wei Yingying noticed it, she couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the advancement?"

"The advancement should be normal. The root rune of the 'Bone Veiner' profession has also entered the next stage. This is obviously a symbol of entering the initial stage, but... have you heard of someone awakening a new profession when they transformed from the entry level to the initial level?"

"Oh, as long as it's normal... Wait! What did you say? A new profession?"

Wei Yingying and Zhong Li Qiu looked at Guan Liyuan at the same time as if they were aliens...

This is also the reason why Guan Liyuan felt strange when he first woke up!
