Chapter 73-73- Training
After carefully leaving Cooks, Yvette wandered around in the snow-covered mountains for a while for safety reasons. After making sure that she was not being followed, she headed to the town in the valley and came to the entrance of the air-raid shelter at the bottom of the valley.
It was still morning, but many puppets had already gotten up and greeted Yvette when they saw her.
Yvette nodded. She'd lived here for four years, but she wasn't particularly familiar with the locals, rarely interacting with them. It wasn't that she discriminated against the mechanoids, but rather that she was naturally unsociable. To use a pet metaphor, she wasn't very affectionate.
But today she was in a good mood, her eyes unusually gentle. This was mainly due to her good harvest this morning. She had managed to escape unscathed from such a dangerous area, honed her combat skills, and even gained some useful intelligence. She felt that she had made tremendous progress.
Although the word progress sounds a bit strange on the scale of more than two hundred years, a person's growth is never measured by time, but by events.
Otherwise, the nearly hundred-year-old Dugrabi should have been a mature sage. How could he still be a young dragon who would use cold violence against others when he suffered a little grievance?
The last time she was in danger, and this time, she risked her life, without any other danger in between, so they were continuous. And this time, she felt she had done well, and it was normal to feel satisfied. Although no one else could see this inner progress, she could praise herself.
Speaking of which, the Spider Woman's fighting ability is really unfathomable. She fought with the Spider Woman for such a long time, but she didn't see any fatigue or fear on the Spider Woman's face. Instead, her magic power was consumed to only one third.
If I don't use the Black Eyes ability and fight with pure magic power, I'm afraid I won't be sure of winning... Yvette is a little worried.
But the question is, what methods can she use to quickly improve her strength now?
She thought about it and finally found that there was only one way to go, which was to hone her practical skills and improve her fighting level.
And coincidentally, if Spider-Woman stayed in Kux for a long time, she could become a good sparring partner for her.
…
In the days that followed, every two or three months, Yvette would set out to explore Kukes in depth.
Of course, she didn't always sneak into the area where Spider Woman was on duty. Instead, she explored from all directions and determined some basic information.
First of all, all of Kux's mutants have been specially strengthened, and their strength far exceeds that of the regular stage, so only the stage corresponding to the combat effectiveness can be calculated, not the actual stage.
This is also why when Yvette asks Spider-Woman if she is a fifth-stage aberration, her answer is an ambiguous "almost".
Secondly, in the central area of Kux, there are two "lords" with the fifth-stage strength like Spider Woman.
One is a sturdy male humanoid with many scales and a ferocious face, looking very much like a murloc. His fighting style tends to be melee combat, and he can use water magic to assist.
The other was a giant mountain whale. Unlike the other mountain whales, this one was much more powerful. It had densely packed eyeballs and could perform a variety of strange spells.
After a brief contact with these two "lords", Yvette found that the Spider Woman inside seemed to be easier to communicate with. At least she would occasionally answer some of Yvette's questions, unlike the Mountain Whale and the Fish Man. The former could not speak, and the latter was as taciturn as she was. After several encounters, there was no useful information.
Finally, Yvette also learned from the Spider Woman through words that above the three lords, there is a "commander" who is loyal to the monarch, that is, a sixth-stage mutant, who is also its direct superior.
As for where this commander was, whether it was in the center of Kux, Yvette was not sure.
But out of caution, she would assume that the commander was in the city center, so every time she harassed the Spider Woman for a while and consumed about half of her blue bar, she would quickly flee away, firstly to prevent the Fish Man and the Mountain Whale from coming to support her, and secondly, she did not want to be targeted by the sixth-stage commander-level strongman.
…
Time flies, half a year has passed, the climate has changed from cold to warm, and it is now July.
As the snowy area in the north of Kuroshio Island, everything around Kukes is very similar to Northern Europe in the previous life.
After the snow melted, the rock formations were exposed, gleaming a cold, iron-gray hue. Grass spread, intertwined with moss-covered human remains. Farther up the mountaintops, white glaciers, never melting year-round, pierced the azure sky like ice knives.
In the morning, returning from Kux again, Yvette saw some puppets studying how to herd sheep.
The sheep grazed here are white sheep caught from the mountains. They have fluffy fur and look like large marshmallows on the meadow from a distance.
The reason for herding sheep is, firstly, to provide a more stable food supply for a ferocious camel beast, and secondly, under the encouragement of Bingyu, many local puppets also feel that shepherds are a good role-playing idea, which can make them closer to humans of a certain period and thus improve their "cultivation".
"I'm tired of eating mutton every day." Dugrabi didn't appreciate it at all and even complained when he saw Yvette coming over.
In more than four years of life, this black dragon has figured out the meaning of many Black Tide languages without any instruction, but it is very reserved and almost only listens but never speaks. It has always played the role of a ferocious dragon, so except for the little puppet Jasmine who often plays with it, none of the other puppets noticed this, not even Bingyu.
Of course, part of the reason is that, in its opinion, these alchemical creations are not even as good as humans, so how can they be qualified to make friends with the noble dragon clan? Only the Silver Witch, an unknown third-rate god, is qualified to be on equal footing with the dragon clan.
Yvette said "oh" and had no intention of commenting on its pretentiousness.
After all, she had not eaten for many years. Dugrabi could actually do the same, relying on magic to maintain life, but it was not willing to do so.
"Witch." Dugrabi shouted again.
"What's up?"
"Jasmine has discovered another large-scale ruins complex of ancient human civilization. Do you want to come with us?"
"What ruins?"
"I don't know. What launch site did those kids talk about?"
"Launch site?" Yvette thought for a moment, then pulled up the electronic map she had obtained before the apocalypse. Combining the location of the valley floor, she roughly found the launch site's location. "Northwest?"
"You know?"
"Hmm." Yvette looked at the information on the electronic map and thought that the launch site seemed to have quite a history. Before the origin civilization entered the cyber stage dominated by the eight major companies, in the 21st century, that launch site launched many spacecraft or probes into the universe, helping humans to better understand the situation of the origin galaxy.
Then it was discovered that the Origin Galaxy, as a star system, had only some very barren and lifeless low-magic stone planets, apart from the Origin Star, a life planet. Resources were extremely scarce, which greatly limited the desire of civilization to expand into space.
Although in the known doomsday conditions, the mutation started from the sea, but where did the mysterious "divine transformation" and "eclipse seeds" come from?
Maybe, Yvette thought, it came from the universe.
So if she has the chance, the next time she enters a dream, she plans to investigate the space development history of the origin civilization.
Of course, it is just a superficial investigation. After all, in the process of entering a dream, the first priority is definitely to obtain resources, and the second priority is to learn about the original owner's experience and increase understanding of oneself.
Exploring the truth about the end of the world can only be ranked third. It is somewhat important, but not particularly important.
On the other side, seeing that the witch was not interested in the launch site exploration, Dugrabi curled his lips and said nothing more.
It hadn't invited the witch to join it for fun, but rather to avoid encountering mountain whales during its adventures. Over the years, it had witnessed many mountain whales passing by, and it harbored a deep fear of these sky-high beasts, which were several times larger than itself.
Although it wouldn't necessarily lose if a fight really came to a head, it was still really wary - after all, it was restrained in its fight against the deformed form, and dared not take any damage, fearing that it would be contaminated, while the opponent could attack it unscrupulously, which would be a huge disadvantage.
However, in front of children, especially in front of younger brothers, as the big brother, it still has to show its mighty side. If it really encounters danger, it will probably bite the bullet and go forward. After all, this is about the face and dignity of the dragon clan.
They are full of pride and would rather be killed than humiliated. This is the dragon clan!
Pulling a cart doesn't count.
Everyone, keep reading these two days and see if you have a chance to get into Sanjiang! I kowtow to you all, bang bang bang
