Chapter 42 The Eve
Since they didn't sleep well for two nights, the two of them stopped making trouble that night. After the sun set, they lay down in the cleared place early. There were a circle of small fires around them, which looked a little scary from a distance, as if they were sleeping in firewood; the two thick magic robes in the middle were at the bottom, and they almost didn't feel like they were sleeping on the ground.
After experiencing the previous intimate contact, the two of them did not pretend to be a partition in the middle. They were tacit at each other. Sharon even directly laid Lu Chen's arm under his head, and leaned on him to keep warm without any hesitation. He was just very "selfish" and did not divide the robe on his body, barely blocking the two of them.
Lu Chen was wandering beside her and watching the stars in the night sky. He was not worried about the powerful caterpillars he saw during the day to attack the night, but he was really afraid that this beauty would not sleep well. If it were usual, it would be great to have a nap every day, but now he is in a dangerous forest. It is the most important thing to take a quick time to leave. It is a waste of time to take a nap.
Alice did not join in the fun. After enjoying the dinner that Sharon had baked for it, she flew up to the branch and rested alone. Lu Chen was too lazy to use his left eye to find which tree it was on. Intuition told him that this strange bird was determined to him.
Not long after, she felt the uniform breathing spurted on her right arm, and turned to look at the beautiful woman who was already asleep. Sharon, who was asleep, no longer had the temperament of the little sister next door when she was awake, and her face was full of tranquility and peace that she could not see normally. Coupled with her goddess-like appearance, it made people unconsciously feel like she wanted to protect her for the rest of her life.
Lu Chen was a little confused, and his heart was filled with the feeling of wanting to protect her. He reached out and gently stroked the "goddess" face sleeping on his arms, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. Then, Lu Chen turned his gaze away, his expression became serious, and he took out a black gem from the space ring and squeezed it in his hand to practice. Making himself stronger and guarding the "goddess" around him has become his only goal at the moment.
Although Sharon said that Alice was not even at the first level, it was still a monster, and all monsters had special sensations to energy. Then its behavior during the day showed that the black gems did have energy, so Lu Chen's head had no time to confirm it, which was to hold the black gems and practice.
Surprisingly, just as Lu Chen was about to enter meditation, Alice flew over from somewhere. After flying around him, she stopped at his chest. She didn't know if her two claws were not easy to grasp. She shook her a little bit shook for a while before she got down. She couldn't tell that she was interested in the black gem.
Anyway, he didn't feel uncomfortable. Lu Chen rolled his eyes and ignored it. Just to prevent it, he stuffed his left hand holding the black gem into his pocket, for fear that the thief would take the opportunity to steal the black gem.
When you enter a meditation state, the special energy around you is the same as when you are normal, and there is no sign of increasing.
After being used to it, Lu Chen would not be very disappointed. He focused his consciousness on his left hand and carefully looked at the Black Gem. Although he had done the same thing before, he believed that there would always be something, at least there should be traces of Alice's saliva on it.
Sudden……
"Silly, this alone will not have any effect. We must provide energy for the life stone."
The cold tone of high voice suddenly appeared in my mind. Lu Chen, who was startled, immediately opened his eyes, but there was nothing around him.
Sharon arched his head on his arm with dissatisfaction and expressed his dissatisfaction. It might have been disturbed by the slight shaking; Alice was still lying in her chest, looking like she was asleep.
“…”
After waiting for a while, the voice did not appear again. Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. No matter who the other party was, since the owner of this voice knew the name of the black gem, he would definitely know its real purpose. But what was strange was that no matter how you hear it, it was the child voice of a little loli.
After taking a glance at Alice, Lu Chen took out the magic core of a Fire Mastiff beast, pinched it in his left hand with the black gem, and re-entered the meditation state. He was very suspicious of the thief bird, but he didn't know its age, but now it is not the time to study this. No matter what the purpose of that sound is, becoming stronger is the only important thing at present.
When the consciousness once again reached the palm of his left hand, Lu Chen was surprised to find that the magic core and the black gem were actually connected together, and there was no gap at the junction. Only their different colors also indicate that they were two pieces, not a natural whole.
Suddenly, a strong energy was transmitted from the black gem to his left hand, rushing straight along his arm, and his bloodline was filled up wherever he passed. When he fought against the eighth-level assassin, the feeling of exploding his body fiercely invaded his whole body again.
Lu Chen was panicked. His previous practices were crazy about absorbing energy. This time he didn't think so much. He was unprepared and could not stop him. He didn't know why, but he just couldn't escape from the meditation state, let alone controlling his body to shake off the black gems.
"Waste, the power of the fourth level cannot be withstand it, hum~"
As the arrogant and tender voice in his mind appeared again, Lu Chen felt that the energy that quickly poured into his body became slower, but the feeling of exploding his body still did not relieve it, but it only allowed him to be prepared to accept that impact.
Under the threat of death, Lu Chen had to let the energy run as much as possible according to the first skill track he learned, endure the pain and danger of the explosion body, and gradually divert the deadly energy to him in his body, disperse it to various parts of the body and form a fixed cycle to expand the veins in the body. At this time, he felt a little grateful to himself for reading various novels on earth when he was bored, because this method would not appear in science and education readings.
"Well? You can actually strengthen your body in this way. Do you have the blood of a monster..."
Although the childish voice of this loli is very nice and also contains the meaning of praise, the content is still unacceptable. Lu Chen, who is concentrating on controlling the movement of power, was almost spitting out blood by this very ambiguous snoring. Fortunately, the tone was also accustomed tone, which made him unable to develop much favorable feelings. He barely maintained his physical condition and nothing went wrong. Of course, he was not in the mood to think about who or what the loli that appeared in his mind was.

It has been about four hours since nightfall. In the season of spring and summer, it is almost the early morning. Ten people who have not rested because they see newer traces are indescribable at this moment. They thought they could catch up with their targets quickly and were surrounded by the monsters that appeared at night. Fortunately, these monsters are the strongest and only have level three, without any threat.
"Captain, I always feel it's strange. Judging from the traces, they didn't encounter a monster along the way, but we were surrounded by them. This is really hard to understand." Selvey, who was responsible for tracking and leading the way, could not accept the things accumulated in the afternoon.
Although the traces left by the target are a little circumcised, they are clearly moving towards the west. It is not difficult to track them. However, the monsters encountered along the way are more annoying, and almost every time they find that the target changes slightly, they can almost encounter the monsters, and the other party seems to have predicted something in advance.
"I know, but there is no need to think too much now. From the traces, the other party did not notice us. The target should not rush to the road at night. It is almost time to catch up with them. Everyone is careful when dealing with monsters and pay attention to the surrounding situation at any time." Dimit could not explain this strange phenomenon, so he could only take the lead in rushing towards the group of monsters. Although they are all low-level, they still need to spend some effort.
Everyone had the same questions in their hearts, but what Dimit said was true. Anyway, as long as they found the target, everything would be over, so they no longer thought about anything and launched an attack on the monsters. In fact, they would rather encounter powerful monsters acting alone. These less than the third level, no matter how many of them are, they have no space equipment, and they cannot bring other spoils besides the magic core.
——————————————————————————————
At midnight, Lu Chen continued to practice his fatal cultivation. The swelling pain of the burst was still there, and the running speed was as slow as before, but the energy had already been circulated in the body for more than three rounds. In addition to the sequential exploration of the first round, he was afraid that it would be broken. The current speed has reached the normal level, and the running of energy has also had a fixed flow like a river.
After breathing in his mind, Lu Chen, who decided to spend the night like this, gradually moved his consciousness elsewhere. He was doing nothing for the time being and began to try the feeling of "out of the body".
Since consciousness in meditation can be seen inwardly, it should also be able to float out to check the surrounding environment. The basic magic book also mentioned that "the range of consciousness's perception increases with the strength of strength." It is just that because there is a common magic called "Eye of Elements", few magicians care about and use their own consciousness perception abilities. After all, most of them rarely need close combat.
The consciousness slowly poked out to the outside world, and the picture in the consciousness was similar to what you saw with your eyes. It was a bit like a full-view game, which was more free than the perspective of the left eye in the fantasy. After getting used to it for a little while, Lu Chen turned his perspective to himself lying on the ground.
A self with a tight and sweaty body immediately reflected in his consciousness, which made Lu Chen look a little bit tidy, and he looked a little like a ghost, fighting fiercely, his teeth tightly, his eyes closed, his veins swelled, and his only muscles were also round.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect. Seeing that he was suffering and was enduring great pain, Lu Chen seemed to have been amplified in his senses again, and his consciousness felt like he was retracted. He could only find a way to turn his attention away. Fortunately, there was a beauty next to him who absolutely attracted him, and immediately decided to gather all his energy to peek at her.
In order to make the effect more prominent, Lu Chen also drilled into the gap in the collar very vulgarly. Unfortunately, in addition to reflecting Sharon's body curve, he also had to look at the sewings from a different perspective, and could not get into it as imagined. Sharon also wore clothes with a tight collar, but he could not even see the deep grooves that attracted people. Fortunately, after such trouble, Lu Chen's fundamental purpose was achieved, and the pain transmitted to his consciousness was relieved a little. Of course, it may be just a psychological effect, or he was already a little numb.
Unable to study Sharon's body art, Lu Chen could only think of other ways to continue distracting his attention. Testing the size of the range of consciousness and perception became the next step he thought of.
Without any predetermined goal, Lu Chen used himself as the origin to expand his consciousness at will. After passing through the trees, the surrounding situation was reflected in the consciousness like a real three-dimensional picture. However, in just a few seconds, he found that the consciousness seemed to be restricted and could not be expanded any more.
After estimating that the lower radius was about one hundred meters, Lu Chen stretched all his consciousness in one direction. After testing the maximum range, the farthest distance was then reached.
This time, it only took two or three seconds, and the line of vision stopped moving forward as if it was tied up by something. It might have only stretched half of the original distance, which means that the farthest distance is about 1.5 times the maximum range.
