Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.
Chapter 15: A Clichéd Development
A change in mindset is never something that can be achieved overnight.
Meng Li believed that if he went to explain to them and mentioned his experiences in the previous world, they would definitely understand him.
But is it really necessary?
Meng Li had no intention of continuing his mission at Xiaohan Temple. He didn't look back once more, but instead walked directly down the steps towards the foot of the mountain.
Watching Meng Li's departing figure, Lin Yan and the others remained silent for several dozen seconds.
"He... he just left like that?"
"Doesn't he do missions?"
The old man's trembling voice broke the silence.
But at that moment, it was clear that no one could answer his question.
Only the man with the buzz cut silently watched Meng Li's departing figure, as if trying to imprint his image in his mind.
At this moment, after randomly setting the return point in a shady spot nearby, Meng Li began to consider how to explore and develop in this world.
It must be said that although the Hextech Token "Recall" is ordinary, its practicality is really strong, especially in a world where transportation is underdeveloped, it is even stronger.
As long as you teleport back two days in advance, you don't need to be as precise with time management as you were in the previous world. A month may seem like a long time, but it's pitifully short when it comes to exploring an unknown world.
"That man with the buzz cut looks like he's from the military."
Images of several people appeared in Meng Li's mind. His powerful mental strength allowed him to grasp many details that ordinary people would find difficult to grasp.
He doesn't underestimate anyone.
Having just killed the gatekeeper, he did so both to gauge the difficulty of the mission and to test his so-called teammates.
Danger never comes from inside the door.
If he encounters danger inside the door, he can open it and run away. But if he were to be bombarded by artillery fire in the Ocean Blue Federation, then he would truly be trapped with nowhere to go.
Needless to say, that woman was just an ordinary person. It was only because she was too outspoken that Meng Li took the opportunity to use her to establish his authority and test everyone's reaction.
Although Lin Yan and the old man may have some hidden talents, they were undoubtedly ordinary people in the Hailan Federation. Their instinctive habits cannot be changed in a short time, and they did not look like they had been trained.
Only that buzz cut, whether in his attire or in his habitual behavior at certain times, carried a fixed sense of obedience and discipline. Although he hid it well, Meng Li's repeated probing eventually revealed some clues.
If we were to say who the most threatening person in this group is, it would probably be him, but Meng Li only kept a close eye on him secretly.
There's no need to get rid of him beforehand; he's not crazy, so he wouldn't kill someone for no reason.
He'll be entering countless worlds in the future; he can't possibly kill every witness every time.
Intentionally skipping the Xiaohan Temple quest and using that boss to keep them occupied and prevent them from spreading the message outside is enough.
Anyway, he doesn't need to do any quests. He can just teleport back and find the door to go back. If the others can successfully kill the boss, that's their skill. If they can't, they can't blame anyone else.
While pondering, Meng Li descended the stairs and soon reached the end of the road.
What comes into view is a small mountain village.
Many of the thatched huts inside have leaky roofs, and the country roads are overgrown with weeds, indicating that they have been abandoned for a long time.
Upon entering, Meng Li found it to be surprisingly clean.
It's not that there's no dust here, but rather that the reason this place was abandoned is completely different from what he expected.
The houses were mostly empty, with no remains or anything like that, suggesting a peaceful relocation.
But that seems a bit strange.
Judging from the surrounding style, this world is somewhat similar to the ancient times of the Blue Ocean Federation. In a time when transportation was underdeveloped, the migration of an entire village was usually a major event.
But on the surface, there are no signs of natural disasters or man-made calamities, which is quite puzzling.
Without much hesitation, Meng Li continued forward along the village road.
He walked for an unknown distance before finally arriving at a wide avenue. This road seemed to be frequently used, as tire tracks could be seen on it from time to time.
Meng Li wasn't in a hurry, after all, he had a month to explore, and there was no need to be like a robot and only focus on completing tasks.
As he walked, he didn't mind appreciating the natural scenery along the way, scenery that could only be seen in tourist attractions in modern times.
However, given his physical abilities, even just walking normally, Meng Li could cover tens of meters in a single leap. In a quarter of an hour, he had advanced a considerable distance.
But as he reached the edge of a grove of trees, Meng Li stopped in his tracks.
The ears twitched slightly.
He seemed to faintly hear the sounds of slashing coming from the side.
Normally, Meng Li wouldn't pay attention to such an unexpected encounter, but things are different now.
He was a stranger in this world, not knowing where to go, when a kind person unexpectedly brought him to his aid.
With light steps, his pace quickened noticeably, like a large bird darting swiftly through the gaps in the trees.
After a few dozen seconds, the scene in front of me gradually opened up.
Meng Li stood on a branch of a large tree, watching the crowd fighting each other in front of her.
"Mountain bandits and a security escort agency... what a cliché plot."
Looking at the two groups of people fighting in front of him, Meng Li felt a strong sense of déjà vu. He almost thought he had traveled into an ancient costume drama.
On one side was the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) guarding the carriage, and on the other side were mountain bandits dressed in tattered clothes.
If someone told him at this point that the escort agency's mission was actually to escort a young lady from a certain family, he wouldn't feel out of place.
Just as he was engrossed in watching...
A sharp-eyed dart-wielding expert spotted Meng Li standing on the tree trunk.
Then, Meng Li saw his figure suddenly freeze.
Immediately following was a loud shout.
"A martial artist! A martial artist is coming!!!"
The battlefield suddenly fell silent, catching Meng Li somewhat off guard.
The镖局 (security escort agency) and the mountain bandits, who had just fought to the death, stopped fighting.
Everyone seemed to have rehearsed beforehand, turning their gaze towards the direction where he was standing.
Then came a long silence that lasted for several seconds.
Followed by.
I don't know who let out a howl.
"Run!"
The bandits, who had just been grinning fiercely, fled in panic and scattered.
"Are martial artists really that powerful in this world?"
Seeing that he had caused such a commotion before he even entered the venue, Meng Li was speechless.
Although they had gone a bit overboard, considering that the gatekeeper of Xiaohan Temple was practically invulnerable to swords and spears, it seemed quite normal that if he really went down the mountain to punish evil, he couldn't defeat these worthless scoundrels in front of him.
It's no wonder the bandits ran away.
I was just trying to justify it to myself.
But when he saw the escort agency's actions, Meng Li's face instantly darkened.
