Human Curiosity
Laugh--!
The long blade pierced the Spore Person's head, and his body, which hadn't fully warmed up yet, collapsed.
Shen Heng drew his long sword, then turned and stepped over another corpse, leading Le Gu Nan out of the stadium.
"I'll tell you where they ran off to later, and then you just need to follow them!" Shen Heng instructed as he walked out.
Le Gu Nan looked up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Um..."
"What's wrong?" Shen Heng asked.
"Can I come with you?" Le Gu Nan asked Shen Heng cautiously.
Shen Heng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Le Gu Nan.
"Do you know I'm going to fight the Calamity Beast?"
"I know that!" Le Gu Nan nodded.
"Then why are you with me? You can't fight, can you?" Shen Heng asked.
"After all, I'm also a member of the Supervision Bureau, so I bear some responsibility for this, don't I?" Le Gu Nan said hesitantly, "It's just..."
"What is it?"
"I'm worried that I'll hold you back!" Le Gu Nan said, head down.
Shen Heng remained silent. After a moment's thought, he looked at Le Gu Nan, "Shall we run together?"
"Meeting!"
"If you find yourself unable to fight, or if you're afraid of something, just run!" Shen Heng said.
"Is this... alright?" Le Gu Nan turned her head, looking at Shen Heng with some concern.
"Yes, no problem!" Shen Heng nodded emphatically. After all, if she ran away, it would just mean things would return to normal without her, which was better than her being unable to fight and being killed.
After speaking, Shen Heng turned and walked to the other side.
"Um, are we not leaving?" Le Gu Nan quickly caught up with Shen Heng.
"Let's go, but we need to make some preparations before we leave!" Shen Heng replied.
What preparations?
"Make yourself another weapon!"
The two went to the equipment room once again.
Shen Heng stood with his arms crossed, quietly watching Le Gu Nan squatting on the ground once again analyzing the barbell plates.
Suddenly, he turned his head slightly and looked in one direction.
Human curiosity...
Main stadium.
Yan Sheng stood at the entrance of one of the main gates, staring blankly into the building with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Inside the main stadium, two bodies lay silently on the ground. One body had its head separated from its body, while the other body was relatively intact, but blood was gushing from its head!
Although he witnessed the surreal scene of thorns blocking the school gate, this was the first time he had ever seen something as unrealistic as the Spore Person.
At other times, they would leave immediately after someone's skin started to change color, and they wouldn't see anything except for the skin changing color. But now...
Yan Sheng's gaze fell on the lone head that had landed; that was...
A head, a head that looks like a mushroom!
The originally oval head was forcibly stretched into a flattened mushroom shape. The entire skull was dark green, with bulging veins, and one could still vaguely make out the facial features that originally belonged to that person...
Bizarre, absurd...
"Vomit..."
Yan Sheng, his legs trembling, leaned against the doorframe and vomited.
After a while, he finally recovered, straightened up by holding onto the door frame, and his gaze fell on the two corpses again.
The fear gradually faded, leaving behind a deep sense of doubt.
Who... did this?
Equipment room.
As Yan Sheng left, Shen Heng slowly withdrew his gaze and looked back at Le Gu Nan.
The black barbell had broken down into small black cubes, which floated silently in front of Le Gu Nan.
Instead of immediately transforming the small cubes into weapons, she hesitated.
Having never studied combat, she didn't know many weapons, only the more common ones like knives, swords, spears, and clubs, and she didn't know which of these weapons was suitable for her.
As she pondered, her gaze unconsciously drifted to the side, finally settling on the long sword that Shen Heng still held in his hand.
The small cubes began to coalesce and converge in the air, gradually forming the shape of a long knife.
A moment later, Le Gu Nan, gripping his longsword, turned to look at Shen Heng and said:
"Um... that's fine!"
Shen Heng glanced at the long sword in Le Gu Nan's hand and asked curiously, "Do you know how to use it?"
"Is that so?"
Le Gu Nan awkwardly swung the longsword a few times in front of him.
Shen Heng nodded silently. "Hmm, it's obvious he doesn't know how to use it, but he can only manage to use it for now. After all, a knife is considered a relatively easy weapon to learn. If you can't even use a knife well, you can forget about using other weapons."
However, Le Gu Nan had no idea what Shen Heng was thinking. When she saw Shen Heng nod, she thought she had been recognized, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Shen Heng turned his head and looked in the direction of the dormitory area. "Alright, let's go to the dormitory area!"
"Um!"
Le Gu Nan nodded and followed Shen Heng, walking quickly forward.
Two minutes later, they arrived at the platform in front of the dormitory building.
Shen Heng glanced at the two dark green figures standing there, then turned to look at Le Gu Nan.
"Do you want me to keep one for you to practice on?"
Le Gu Nan took a deep breath to calm herself down, and nodded gently.
"Okay, save one for me!"
Seeing that Le Gu Nan agreed, Shen Heng turned around and walked to the Spore Person was a little further away to wait.
Time flies.
The moment the Spore Person tried to move, Shen Heng swiftly raised his knife.
Laugh!
The blade plunged straight into the Spore Person's head.
Having resolved things on his end, Shen Heng turned to look at Le Gu Nan Na.
There will be no surprises, and nothing will happen. If even a Spore Person being that can't move has problems, then Shen Heng will have to send her away immediately.
"Um... where do we go next?" Le Gu Nan turned to look at Shen Heng.
Shen Heng turned his head and looked towards the direction of the back mountain.
"Ready, there will be three Tier 2 later!"
"Three Tier 2?" Le Gu Nan said nervously, his grip on the longsword tightening unconsciously.
"Hmm!" Shen Heng replied in a deep voice.
On the back hill, a series of rapid thumping sounds echoed, carried by the gentle breeze to his ears.
At this time and at this speed, the only creatures that could come down from the back mountain besides Tier 2 Decaying Spore Guard are...
Is the main body hiding in the back mountain?
Shen Heng frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the area behind the mountain.
"Then... can we win?" Le Gu Nan looked at Shen Heng with some worry.
She herself was only at the Second Tier and had never fought before; while Shen Heng was First Tier lower than her and had the same abilities as her, making him completely useless in combat.
With their current setup, can they even defeat three Tier 2 Calamity Beast... and the guardians they create?
"It's alright. If all goes well, we'll only have to deal with two or even just one!" Shen Heng glanced at the pistol in his hand, which only had three bullets left.
Seeing that Shen Heng had a plan, Le Gu Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
The two hurried towards the foot of the mountain.
