Chapter 141 War... is not child's play...
Around 5 p.m. UTC, the sun had already traveled a considerable distance westward.
Everyone, regardless of race, including humans and animals controlled by the "Beast Taming Sect," stopped what they were doing.
Just like a robot automatically shutting down at a certain time, people gradually calmed down.
The flying objects on the field gradually subsided in this space.
People looked at their companions in silence.
He limped back to his unit, carrying the corpses of his kinsmen.
The three types of people were no longer mixed up; they were scattered widely and neatly, but standing crookedly.
Apart from the generals in command, no one else made a sound.
They glanced at each other, turned around, and left in the direction they had come from.
It left behind a mess of broken pieces.
Shi Qian slowly landed after they had gone far away.
The blood on the sand had congealed somewhat, but it still felt sticky and adhered to my feet along with the sand, and I couldn't shake it off even with a gentle shake.
The blood seeped deep into the ground through the gaps in the sand.
In this dimension, both clarity and realism seem to have increased.
MC, but there won't be any blood or flying sand...
But these things actually appeared before Shi Qian.
He had just witnessed a war that, in his view, was not small in scale.
On the sand, there were still drag marks left by the bodies as they were dragged away, along with a lot of blood that followed.
A little further from the center, in areas where the blood concentration is not so high.
You can see bloodstains on a whole blocky arm or blocky leg.
The severed limbs were all picked up by their companions.
But clearly, if there hadn't been a fight, no one would have been injured, no one would have died, and these bloodstains and hair wouldn't exist...
Shi Qian didn't understand, but he felt sad.
None of these dimensions seem to have a happy ending.
There weren't even many good experiences.
It seems that everything starts out peaceful, but after a certain point is triggered, the world's trajectory completely deviates.
Combat, death, survival—each of these is a challenge for the native life forms in these dimensions.
But they had no choice but to face these unexpected problems.
Moreover, it seems that they themselves are incapable of solving such problems.
They need external force, but can external force necessarily push them in a positive direction?
On the way here, Shi Qian had actually seen similar dark red sandy or muddy ground.
At first, he didn't know what those things were.
But now, he understands...
Everywhere is a battlefield.
In this dimension, there is no stable place... except for oases.
Shi Qian carefully cleaned the blood-stained sand off his feet and returned to Huan Yi's back.
It's not that I dislike it... it's that I don't know how to face it.
As the Phantom Wings continued to fly, the setting sun gradually appeared.
In a daze, Shi Qian saw the etched war memorial, and the words he had carefully examined before slowly appeared before him.
Because of that mistake, the memories brought about by that conscious energy began to play in his mind.
The memories I had seen in West Moon City were mostly from everyday life, but the memories that flooded my mind back then were much more than that.
The figures of the Etched Man and the Starless One gradually overlapped with the figures of the Order Life and the other two human beings fighting.
War is no child's play.
Wherever the inscription on the monument turns, Shi Qian's mind is filled with images of the battle scenes from that time.
No matter which war it is or whose war it is, it is all equally ruthless.
People kept falling from Shi Qian's mind. The original body, whose memories he carried, tried to save them, but had an arm severed from its own...
They rushed forward, resisted, fought with all their might...failed, lost, died...
As the sun slowly set, the dazzling golden sunset pulled Shi Qian out of his despair and helplessness.
The eagle cub beside him seemed very anxious, constantly bumping into his body and jumping on his legs, trying to wake him up.
Shi Qian looked back, but he could no longer see the ground stained with blood.
However, another place appeared where the grassland met the hills.
They had flown a great distance, but they still hadn't left the area controlled by the "war".
As the sun gradually set, its dazzling light ceased to linger on this land.
When creatures return to their nests, they hide themselves away.
The undead creatures ripped away the soil and sand above their heads and emerged from the ground.
Here, there are still only corpses.
But it was precisely because of this that Shi Qian found it terrifying.
He recalled the game content interpretations he had seen in the original world.
These corpses are those of humans who died of starvation due to insufficient food.
The obsession with filling their stomachs transformed into spirits, pulling their bodies from the dark underground.
Their obsession drove them toward living creatures.
Find them, eat them, fill your bellies, and leave the ground before sunrise to return to their birthplace, the eternally dark and hopeless underground...
Shi Qian took a deep breath, pulling himself back from his uneasy state.
Looking around, it seemed that I had arrived near that sandy soil system.
This dimension is so strange...
Emotions can be unconsciously guided and deviate in unpredictable directions.
Fortunately, Shi Qian had dealt with these kinds of emotions so many times that he had become very skilled at it.
otherwise...
He wasn't sure which way he would be led.
He poured himself a bottle of invisibility potion, and the refreshing minty sensation made his mind a little clearer.
He had snatched the potion from a wandering merchant he encountered while traveling towards the desert.
Shi Qian assured that no wandering merchant was harmed during that time.
However, after Shi Qian drank the medicine, he realized something.
It seems my demand for mint products is a bit too high.
In this dimension, it's estimated that mint will need to be planted frequently.
However, there are no wandering merchants in this dimension who would let him rob invisibility potions.
So he turned his attention to the potion skill, which he hadn't upgraded since unlocking it.
If upgrading a trident grants enchantments, then upgrading potions should allow you to obtain potions beyond just the witch's own potions...
With that in mind, I decided to take action immediately.
After leveling up three times, an invisibility potion actually appeared when I reached the fourth level.
Level 1 is the original ability, while Level 2 reduces the amount of health and energy required to obtain potions.
At level three, new potions appear, but instead of invisibility, they include self-drinking jump potions, slowing potions, and splash-type slowing potions.
Level four consists of night vision potion and invisibility potion, plus splash damage potion.
The potions given at each level felt like they were pre-mixed and could be used in combination.
Level 3 is for easy escape. It gives you a jump slow effect, and combined with the initial Swiftness, it can slow down enemies, making it super fast to run away.
Level four is convenient for surprise attacks, especially at night.
Stealth and night vision, plus a quick attack, sneak up to the enemy and throw a few damage potions.
The other party probably doesn't even know how they died.
