In the end, Fangzheng decided to head deeper into the Shadow Ravine with Matt and the rest to stop the Lich's evil plot. In fact, he didn't have much of a choice. Fangzheng definitely wouldn't be able to walk out of the Shadow Ravine alone. Since Matt and the rest were determined to return, he could only accompany them. Come to think of it, this might be a good idea. After all, if he followed these people, he might be able to meet Shi Dong and Miss M. When that happens, it would be much easier for him to leave.
In the battle at the river bank, the team suffered heavy casualties. Including Matt and Conan, only five Paladins survived. Two of them had suffered serious injuries. Helpless, Fangzheng had no choice but to play the role of a priest, using the Paladin's Holy Flash to heal them. This naturally shocked Matt. Unfortunately, Fangzheng didn't have the Resurrection Spell, so he couldn't do anything about the dead. But even if he could, he probably wouldn't save them. Previously, when he was with Knight Conan, Fangzheng also asked about the situation. Although one could be saved as long as one was still breathing in this world, the resurrection of the dead wasn't one of them. That was the domain of God. If an ordinary person were to resurrect the dead, it would be easier for others to associate him with the existence of Necromancers who played with souls. Fangzheng hadn't removed the title of a Cultist yet, so he didn't dare to add the title of a Necromancer to himself.
According to Matt, the ones who surrounded them were the main force that they had set up previously. They fought and ran at the same time, and many of them were scattered. In the end, they had no choice but to fight to the death at the River of Blood. If it weren't for Fangzheng's timely arrival, perhaps they would have really 'fought to the death'. But now, the situation wasn't too bad. Including Matt and Conan, a total of five Paladins survived, which could be considered as good news.
After Fangzheng healed their wounds, everyone immediately retreated from the River of Blood. But unexpectedly, this time, it was very peaceful and they didn't meet any enemies. That was good news and bad news at the same time. The good news was that they were no longer the main target of the Lich. The bad news was that since the Lich no longer needed them, it meant that he had enough confidence to complete the ritual. In this way, everyone had to seize the time to stop his evil plans and conspiracies.
The night deepened.
Fangzheng sat on a rock and looked at the bonfire in front of him. In the dark wilderness, the orange flame was very reassuring. The night wind blew across the wilderness, and he could even hear strange sounds in the distance. He did not know if it was the roar of a beast or the scream of a ghost.
How interesting …
Upon seeing everything in front of him, Fangzheng could not help but narrow his eyes as he leaned comfortably against the rock. He grew up in the city and occasionally traveled to other places. However, it was his first time spending the night with a bonfire in the middle of an endless wilderness. Just the novelty alone was enough to make him indulge in it. It even made him feel as if he had traveled back in time and returned to the barbaric era thousands of years ago. Perhaps the primitive people of the past also gathered around the bonfire like this, enjoying the warmth and dispelling the darkness. The heavy feeling brought about by time made Fangzheng lose his mind for a moment.
"You don't travel often, right?"
While Fangzheng was admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, Marte walked over and sat beside him. Hearing Marte's question, Fangzheng nodded.
"Yes, very rarely. I used to be very busy. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I looked up at the starry sky. "
"People are always too eager to focus on what's in front of them and neglect the beautiful scenery around them."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Marte looked at him with a smile.
"To be honest, sometimes it's better to go out for a walk, even in this kind of situation. After all, no one knows if they'll live to see tomorrow, so we have to focus on enjoying the present. Only then will we not regret the good times we missed before we die."
"That makes a lot of sense."
Hearing Marte's sentiments, Fangzheng nodded. Wasn't it the same for people living in the city? They were busy with work and housework every day. The only things they cared about were the price of food, reimbursement for medical insurance and other trivial matters. They went to work, got off work, socialized with colleagues, and when they went home, they had to worry about their children's studies, pay their mortgage, and maybe even consider whether the price of gas had increased again. As for the city they lived in, who would really care about what it looked like?
What was the purpose of a person's life?
Everyone had a different answer to this question.
But the most important thing was …
"A person's life should be spent like this: when he recalls the past, he won't feel regret for wasting his time, nor will he feel shame for being mediocre …"
"Oh? That's interesting. Did you come up with this yourself? "
"No, I read this from a book before."
Noticing Marte's curious gaze, Fangzheng shrugged.
"To be honest, I didn't think much of it at the time. After all, everyone knows how to talk about big principles. Besides … it's useless even if I talk about it … But now, I understand a little."
"The advantage of being young is that you're fearless. Living your life cautiously may be stable, but it's a little too boring. In my opinion, it's better not to understand some big principles. If you understand them, it means that when you gain something, you lose something else. "
Having said that, Marte stood up and patted Fangzheng on the shoulder.
"It's late. Don't you want to rest? We still have a long way to go tomorrow. "
"I'll stay a little longer."
"Okay, be careful. The scenery may be beautiful, but there are also dangers. A person's life is a path full of fog. No one knows what will happen next. "
"I'm very clear about that."
Fangzheng could empathize with Marte's sentiments. After all, no one understood this sentence better than he did. He was beaten to death by a high-voltage wire and even transmigrated to another world. Was there anything in life that he couldn't encounter?
Marte went back to rest, leaving Fangzheng alone here. But the reason why he stayed here was not just to enjoy the scenery. After confirming that there was no one around, Fangzheng took out the few spirit crystals he kept earlier. In fact, after learning through the system that he could recharge, Fangzheng couldn't wait any longer. Now that he had the chance, he immediately tried to recharge.
Soon, after Fangzheng took out the spirit crystals, the system notification from before appeared in front of him again.
[Valuable convertible materials detected. Do you want to convert and recharge?]
"Yes."
Looking at the notification in front of him, Fangzheng selected 'Confirm' without hesitation. Soon, he saw a golden circular magic circle appear in his palm, and the spirit crystals that enveloped the magic circle quietly disintegrated, turning into countless golden particles that scattered in all directions. Like iron filings attracted by a magnet, they merged into the magic circle. Then, a system notification appeared in front of Fangzheng's eyes again.
[Absorbed 190 crystal energy points, please choose to use.]
190？
Looking at the value in front of him, Fangzheng was stunned. He remembered that according to the ratio he designed, the conversion rate for crystal energy was 1: 1. In other words, the spirit crystals in his hand were only worth that much? But wait a minute …. If he remembered correctly, the conversion rate for crystal energy to Dimension Points was 1: 5 …. In other words, he could only redeem 38 Dimension Points at most?
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng's expression stiffened.
In other words, including the 5 Dimension Points he had saved before, he could only draw four times?
So the question was, what was he supposed to do? Draw? Or draw?
Fangzheng felt that this question was too stupid. There was no need to answer it. If he didn't draw, what was the difference between him and a salted fish?
So, Fangzheng made a decision.
