Resa's pace was very casual, as if he didn't notice the tail behind him at all. This slightly lazy and unwary look made the pursuer behind him a little confused, and his pace couldn't help but slow down a lot.

Do you want to continue following? Just when they were hesitant, the thin cloaked man in front turned into a small alley with few people. Seeing this scene, the followers put aside their hesitation and quickly followed.

Got in.

Resa walked slowly home, still thinking about whether to take on two more missions from the Explorers Alliance. At this moment, a faint feeling of heart palpitations interrupted his thoughts, and he felt something passed through his waist.

A slight stinging sensation left no doubt that with a little force, the sharp tip could easily pierce the skin and sink into the body, leaving white in and red out.

A hoarse and unreal voice sounded in Resa's ears: "Boy, which one do you think is more valuable, your life or your exploration value?" As he spoke, the strength in the man's hand gradually increased, sharp.

The tingling sensation became clearer.

There were more than a dozen people lurking in the darkness of the alley. Since someone had come forward, they were happy to have someone test whether the water was deep.

The three people stood very carefully. The alley was not too wide. There was a tall and burly guy near the entrance of the alley. Once he stood there, people outside could hardly see what was going on inside the alley.

"Hurry up, stop grinding, otherwise there may be meat on the black street tonight." A low and hoarse voice came from behind Resa again.

Feeling the sting in his waist getting stronger, Resa sighed helplessly. Then, the three cloaked men felt that their eyes were blurred. Resa had already disappeared from among them. A dazzling white light mixed with the sound of arcing flashed across the three men.

Exploded among people...

After a while, the light dissipated, and the lurker hiding in the dark looked intently. The three cloaked men were lying on the ground like dead dogs, foaming at the mouth. There was a burning smell exuding from their bodies, and the thin guy

, but there is no trace of it.

"Fortunately, I didn't take action, otherwise I would be the one lying there now." In the darkness, an unknown person muttered in a low voice.

"It's gone, it's gone. Those are superpowers. They are lucky to not have died." As the voice fell, a dozen figures appeared in the dark corners of the alley. They did not stay and dispersed.

At the same time, in a deserted corner a few streets away, the air became distorted, and Resa's figure gradually emerged.

"Really, if you encounter someone with a bad temper, I'm afraid those guys will be dead!" Resa shook his head, the fist blade in his hand changed, and finally shrank into a dragon-shaped wrist armor wrapped around his wrist.

This is the latest technological product developed after the demise of human society. It can absorb the supernatural power in the user's body and convert it into a guidance device for energy attacks. The more advanced the guidance device, the better the conversion effect. Of course, the price is also higher.

high.

After patting the dust on his body, Resa walked towards the alley, no longer thinking about the few unlucky guys who were stunned.

In this world, order has become an illusion. As for the rules within the nodes! Resa smiled noncommittally.

If you want to protect the people around you and live safely, you still need to be strong enough!

Entering the house, the living room is as quiet as ever. Except for meal time, Resa basically doesn't see Debecca at other times of the day.

Taking off his shoes, Resa came to the dining table on one side and planned to pour himself a glass of water. However, just when his fingers were about to touch the cup, his body suddenly stiffened, and the veins and blood vessels continued like thin snakes.

It was swimming on his arms. A numbness like electric shock made him freeze in place.

"Pfft...well..." His heart began to twitch violently, and a sweet smell surged down his throat. Resa ignored the pain in his arm and hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent blood from spurting out. He trembled.

Then he took out a purple snake fruit from his arms, put it to his lips with difficulty, mixed with the blood in his mouth, and swallowed most of the pulp in three mouthfuls.

"Pa..." The severe pain made his hand no longer have the strength to lift the remaining purple snake fruit to his lips, and he could only let it fall freely.

As time passed, the pain began to subside, and Resa's body slowly regained consciousness. It seemed that the purple snake fruit had begun to take effect.

About half an hour later, Resa leaned against the wall in a state of embarrassment, grinning with an ugly smile on his lips: "It seems that I finally got over it."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Resa was just about to raise his hand to wipe away the blood on the corner of his mouth, but suddenly he seemed to find something. He suddenly looked up and saw Debecca standing by the door with a calm face, without any fluctuation on her face.

, just sniffed with her little nose, and looked at Resa with some curiosity. It was obvious that she had smelled the smell of blood in the air.

"Here, this is for you." Resa squeezed out a smile and took out another purple snake fruit from his arms. The price of doing so was a tearing pain in his chest.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but his hand still handed over the purple snake fruit smoothly.

Debecca lowered her head and looked at the purple snake fruit in Resa's hand, which was stained with a little blood.

She took it calmly and turned

As he was about to go back to the house, Resa had a wry smile on his face. He really didn't know what was going on with the so-called sister that his father brought back. She didn't speak and was very quiet in everything she did, without any emotional fluctuations.

Resa shook his head. Forget it, don’t think about it so much. Being able to live in such a world is already the happiest thing.

On the other side, Debecca paused slightly as she was about to enter the house. She didn't understand why the fruit that seemed ordinary in the past was emitting an alluring aroma today.

After staring at the fruit for a moment, Debecca slowly walked to Resa's side under Resa's puzzled gaze, stretched out her white, almost transparent hand, and gently wiped away the remaining blood on the corner of Resa's mouth.

Then he walked into the house quietly again, and there was no sound even when the door was closed.

"Sure enough..." Dibeca murmured softly after entering the room, and looked at the faint red color on her fingers, which was the source of the fragrance.

The aroma made her so intoxicated that after she gently licked the blood off her fingers, she gently licked the blood on the purple snake fruit clean. Then, the purple snake fruit worth 250 exploration points was

She threw it into the storage cabinet in the corner of the room like trash. She didn't need this yet.

In the hall, Resa was still in a daze. Debecca's behavior today was too unusual. She actually......

Resa touched the corner of his mouth, and there was still a strange aroma left there. This aroma calmed down people's emotions easily.

However, Ressa didn't pay much attention to this. What concerned him most was DiBecca's different performance today.

‘What’s going on?’ A big question mark appeared in Resa’s mind.

After thinking for a long time, Resa still couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

This transformation of DeBecca is mostly good. At the very least, the two of them will no longer live together like strangers like before.

"This is good. I originally planned to use it just in case when I went out to explore, but now I'm going to use it first." Resa popped out a small bottle in his pocket, but it was empty.

"What should we do now? Are we going to exchange it again?" Reza frowned slightly. If he knew that Dibeca threw the purple snake fruit into the storage cabinet like garbage, he would be so angry that he would spank this little girl.

.

"It seems that we can only exchange it again. Otherwise, it may be troublesome to use the superpower." By an extremely accidental opportunity, Resa discovered that the purple snake fruit contains a small amount of T2 element that can alleviate and treat Noir syndrome.

These elements apply equally to his situation and to DeBecca's.

Although the Purple Snake Fruit is also extremely expensive, it is still more practical than the relief potion that costs thousands of exploration points.

With Resa's continuous efforts, he can extract 10 mg of gel from one purple snake fruit. Compared with the relief reagent that costs nearly 1,000 yuan, the gel is undoubtedly more cost-effective.

Although the 10 mg gel looks like the size of a pill, it is more convenient to take. Moreover, the effect of one gel is basically worth half of the relief agent.

If it can be sold to the Explorer Alliance, he can basically double the net profit based on the reagents. However, Resa does not intend to do this. After all, explaining the source of the items is also a huge hassle. Therefore, the gel extracted by Resa is generally

They are all reserved for when you go out to explore.

Feeling the pain left on his body, Resa staggered to his room, fell on his bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

…………

Explorer Alliance, in a dark conference room, a dozen blurry images seemed to be arguing about something.

"Old guy, my time is very precious. I hope you won't let me waste it." A young figure with blond hair complained.

"Be calm and don't be impatient. If there is nothing important, I will definitely not come to you." An old man sitting at the top said. His eyes were slightly narrowed and he looked weak, but

The curve at the corner of his mouth made him appear kind, and when he spoke, he was unhurried and very calm.

"So, if you have anything to say, just say it directly and don't speak slowly!" The blond young man was a little impatient, and his handsome face revealed a feeling of contempt for everything. He crossed his legs and held the hand in his hand.

The wine glass kept shaking, and on both sides of the light and shadow, there were clearly two young girls rubbing his shoulders.

"Today's young people!" The old man sighed, and he looked at the other images: "You must also want to go straight to the topic, so I won't waste your time, old man." At this point, he

His eyes slowly opened a little, and even through the image, everyone could clearly feel a shuddering aura, especially the blond young man, who felt like a light on his back.

"According to reliable information, a large number of beasts have been active near the frost node recently. At the same time, a large number of earth beasts above level 4 are gathering there. I want to say this, everyone here can already understand what I mean.

?”

The old man narrowed his eyes again, seemingly smiling, but everyone could hear the seriousness in his words.

The meaning of solemnity.

"What do you mean, Mr. Long, the beast tide might attack the city?" A middle-aged man who looked a little slovenly asked solemnly.

"This is basically certain, but it depends on how fast the beast tide gathers!" The old man nodded: "Don't forget how our last city-state in the wilderness was destroyed."

At this point, these phantoms began to become a little commotion. Apparently the old man's words reminded them of some bad memories.

"No matter how you put it, it's all about the frost and it has nothing to do with us." The depressing atmosphere made the blond young man feel a little restless, so he acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him and he was just hanging on.

Although the others did not express it directly like him, their hesitation could be seen from their expressions. Of course, one of them looked worried, and he was the controller of the Frost Node.

The old man looked at the image of the blond young man and shook his head. How on earth could such a idiot get into the position of controller? Did that old guy Bates have shit in his head?

Ignoring the blond young man's chatter, Mr. Long showed a complicated look in his eyes.

"Among the many countries in the last era, there is a country with a long history. There is a saying in their country called 'the lips are dead and the teeth are cold'. I believe you must not know the meaning of this sentence...!"

"Old guy, don't show off your boring history here. Although you are in charge of the largest Frostfall node, don't think that we must buy into your account. The covenant has mentioned that we will not interfere with each other."

Seeing that the old man ignored him, the blond young man felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face.

This kind of disregard made him a little crazy. He only relied on his family's power to become the leader of the node. Whether it was knowledge, knowledge or combat ability, he was obviously unqualified. Therefore, for those who have superior combat power and extensive knowledge,

He is both envious and jealous of the person in charge.

The old man glanced at the blond young man lightly, then looked at the other figures who lowered their heads and said nothing, and shook his head: "You can do whatever you want, but remember my words, if those who help today are in trouble in the future, our Frostfall Fortress will surely
