Chapter 71 Bait(1/2)
Chapter 71 Fish bait
The reason I was so surprised was that the person I was holding on to was not someone else, the flame rabbit who had just fainted. First, she had no reason to attack me, second, she had clearly fainted just now, third, she was a mage, so she shouldn't have such speed. All these doubts made me unable to understand why she was standing here.
"Hmph!" Just when I was still surprised, the flame rabbit suddenly raised its staff and pointed at me, but her strange smile made me give up the idea of cutting off her head. The flame rabbit was controlled by someone, and this is the message I read from that smile.
"Who is pretending to be a ghost?" I shouted at the surroundings.
Without any response, the other party obviously knew that a loud response would be discovered, so there was no movement at all. However, not hiding a sound could only temporarily hide your position. It was impossible to completely hide my violent reconnaissance at that time.
"Do you think I can't find you without making a sound?" I suddenly snapped my fingers, and a white spider silk suddenly flew out from me, hitting the flame rabbit. The sickle crawled out of the phoenix dragon space and quickly climbed up the big tree next to her. The spider silk quickly retracted and dragged the flame rabbit over. Although the flame rabbit struggled desperately, the difference in level made her unable to resist the strength of the spider silk. The sickle quickly hung the flame rabbit between two big trees, and then grabbed her body with her hind limbs and quickly rotated her in the air. At the same time, the spider silk quickly wrapped around her. In just a few seconds, the flame rabbit turned into a huge silk cocoon.
The first thing I did was to ensure that she was not injured. Since the other party could manipulate her to attack me, I believe it would be okay to manipulate her to commit suicide, so I must protect her first. In addition, if I hang the flame rabbit onto the tree, I can search for the enemy with confidence.
"Summon...!" I only shouted two words and suddenly flashed to the side. A feather arrow brushed against my shoulder and flew over. I smiled proudly. "I was finally fooled." I pointed my finger behind me, and then pointed to the direction of the feather arrow. The wheel of precepts immediately disintegrated. The two split moon-flying blades swirled towards the target with a buzzing whistling sound.
Several figures behind the tree opposite suddenly flashed out, and they could no longer hide their positions after they were discovered. Two half moons cut the tree into three pieces in half with a crack, and then flew towards the two targets respectively. Two figures being chased flashed continuously behind several big trees, but Banyue had no intention of stopping at all. They kept chasing them to death. They originally thought that Banyue was only a kind of long-range weapon that relied on inertia and aerodynamic principles, but after flashing several times, they found that this thing had power, otherwise no matter how high the inertia was, they could not fly continuously for such a long time.
Just now, three people flashed out from behind the big tree, two and a half months chasing each other. I met the remaining one. This guy was backing away, and after flashing through several trees, he disappeared again. I chased him to the bottom of the big tree where he disappeared, and then suddenly turned around and a sword. The red sword light flashed and flickered. I shaped it for a few seconds before hearing a squeak. A thin slit appeared slowly on the trunk of the big tree. As the gap became larger and larger, the whole tree fell down. A faint figure inside the trunk covered his chest and stumbled out, obviously seriously injured.
"Hmph. Are you finally willing to come out?"
"How did you find me?" Although the other party was injured, he still did not fall down. He insisted on retreating to a tree a little far away from me and leaned on the trunk. However, at this time I was no longer going to hurt him, because this guy was obviously a dead soul. If I guessed correctly, he should be the task of the flame rabbit npc. At least it is also a key figure in the task, so he must be dealt with carefully. If he kills him, the task cannot be triggered, then it will be done.
I put away Eternal Eternity and waved my hand. The two and a half moon immediately flew back from both sides. After watching the half moon shuttle quickly through the woods without touching anything, the other party realized that these two weapons had their own intelligence. Otherwise, no matter how powerful I was, I would not be able to control two weapons at the same time and fight with others.
Half a month later, I said to the guy in front of me: "I found out that you are actually very simple, because you exuded the breath of a dead spirit."
"You are indeed theirs."
"You guessed wrongly!"
The other party was confused by my words, so he asked me with his eyes what I guessed wrong. I said slowly: "I don't know who you are talking about, but I can only tell you that I am not anyone you know."
"You're not from the Fischer Guild?"
"Fisher Guild? I have never heard of this Guild."
"How do you prove it?"
"Hey, let's figure out if the situation is good? You're so injured. If I want to kill you, I'm just raising my hand. Is it necessary to take a big turn to deceive you first and then attack you? How can you prove that I'm from the Fischer Guild?"
"this……!"
"Woooo...!" A few hums suddenly came from the top of my head. I looked up and found that the flame rabbit had woken up.
"Scythe, put her down."
"Oh." The sickle gently slid the spider silk on the body of the flame rabbit with its long claws. The spider silk immediately broke, and the flame rabbit screamed and fell out of the silk cocoon.
"Phhhhhh..." The flame rabbit spitted out the leaves in his mouth while slapped the soil on his body, and jumped to me. "What's going on?"
"I think you found the mission goal. Use the mission scroll."
"Oh, for you."
I took the scroll and threw it directly to the undead on the opposite side. "This is the mission we took, and there is a mark of the Dark Temple Land behind it. This thing should not be fake, right?"
The other party pulled the scroll open and looked at the mark at the end, and threw it back. "I'm sorry. It seems like a misunderstanding!" He waved to the back. As a result, a large group of dark creatures walked out of the forest behind. Suddenly I remembered that the flame rabbit seemed to be afraid of the undead, but as soon as I was about to turn around and ask about the situation, I heard a plop. This girl was dizzy again!
"How can you be a dark priest with your psychological quality?"
"Am I just afraid?" After I helped the flame rabbit up, it shook like a sieve. I really admire her courage. It's not that she is brave, but that she is so timid.
No longer cared about the trembling of the flame rabbit, I began to carefully look at the undeads who came out. Initial observation, it seemed that all ghosts of ghosts were ghosts. These undeads were closer to ghosts in Chinese mythology. Their common feature was that they had no entity. Although they looked similar to humans, their bodies were translucent and could pass through obstacles without being blocked by any physical matter. Of course, the ghosts I mentioned were just a large category, and these guys in front of me could not all be a kind of undead. For example, the three high-level vengeful spirits that could be physicalized by the souls. But the others seemed to be low-level ghosts, and most of them were white souls without level.
"Is the population here so dense?"
"Don't joke with us. We undead are all living at the bottom of society. The large number is formed by long-term accumulation."
I nodded and cut straight to the topic. "Since you are native creatures here, I'll ask you something."
"You ask, as long as we know."
"I would like to ask if there is a Necromancer here? I just wrote it on the scroll of the ground. Our mission needs the approval of the Necromancer to complete it."
"There are no Necromancers. But they are our protectors now, and we cannot disclose their location at will!"
"That's it!" I thought for a moment with some embarrassment, and then said, "What do you think about this? I will help you solve your threat, and then how about you take us to see the Necromancer?"
"This is OK, but are you sure that we can solve the problem?"
"It should be fine! Let's talk about it first."
I heard that I was willing to help solve their security crisis. The undead immediately began to introduce the story. I summarized it a little. The matter was actually very simple, and I had to help with this! The cause of the matter was still on Master Jiaha. The Fischer Guild is a native French guild. Like our guild, they also do puppet research. However, the technology is much behind us. I don’t know where they got the information, and I know that a mage who masters high-end puppet technology temporarily lives in the Eternal Night Forest, so they plan to come in to find this mage. I guess the so-called master with strong technology is that I also look for Master Dijiaha, and the reason they attacked the undead was that the undead signed an agreement with Jiaha. The content of the agreement was that the undead wanted
Defending the Eternal Night Forest allows Jiaha to complete a month of experiments without any disturbance. As a reward, after completing the experiment, he will configure soul enhancement fluid for the undeads. The problem now is that if you don’t know why the news about Jiaha is leaking, it has attracted a large number of people to peep. According to these undeads, there are many more people in their land than they are now. However, in recent times, they are only the undeads left. The agreement says that there are still three days left in the earth, but with their strength, they obviously can’t hold on, so they are staring at everyone entering the forest so nervously. Because they have lost the ability to block the front, they have to use sneak attacks to minimize damage, which directly leads to previous misunderstandings.
I nodded after listening to their narrative. "It's okay to help you defend here, but I hope you can help me keep him after the mage completes the experiment, and I want to meet him."
"But Master Laien said he would not see a foreigner!"
"What? Master Laien? Isn't the one who signed the agreement with you?"
"Who is Jiaha?"
Damn! It's not the great master of Jiaha! When they were talking about it, the undead repeatedly mentioned how magical the various magical puppets of this mage were. Later, I asked about the other party's characteristics. The description was very similar to the image of Jiaha that Noreen described before, but this name...! Did he use a pseudonym? That's not right! He has no need to use a pseudonym for these undeads! No. Anyway, we have to meet again. Anyway, no matter whether the other party is Jiaha or not, I have to complete this task. After all, the content of the Flame Rabbit's mission coincides with my purpose, and we have to help these undeads for whatever side.
However, if you want to help the undead complete the mission, you must ensure that the mage who signed the agreement within the last three days cannot be disturbed. The problem is that the war will start the day after tomorrow, and I don’t have time to guard here for three days. But this is not difficult for me. Anyway, some of us are summoning creatures. Open the Earth Gate and the Phoenix Dragon Space, and I called out all the summoning creatures. The undead immediately became excited when they saw this regular army-like large army. At first, they were worried that I could not defend here alone, but they did not expect so many helpers to come.
After calling out all the summoned creatures, I explained the matter to Ling, and then left her to command me. Anyway, she was fully responsible during the mission. I only chose Feiniao, Ye Ying, Xiao Chun, Jing Jing, Lingling, Ye Yue, Princess, and the newly acquired goddess of victory Victoria and Thor Grace are mount creatures, and it is not very useful to leave them, so it is more useful to carry them. Xiao Chun and Jing Jing and Lingling are both light creatures, so this may affect the combat efficiency of the undead. Ye Yue and Princess are basically my strongest demon pets, and it is not possible to bring them. Because the attributes of the newly acquired two demon pets are unknown, they have to be brought by their side to cultivate loyalty and familiarize themselves with various abilities, so they can't be thrown here. With these five demon pets, plus the small demon pets of Yin Yue and my two clones, it should be fine to fight in general.
Actually, I left most of the magic pets here. But in fact, the magic pets I brought with me still make most players envious and cry. After all, the ratio of players and magic pets in Zero has just passed one to three. It sounds like a player can get three magic pets, which seems to be quite a lot. But you have to consider that the level distribution of magic pets also follows the pyramid principle. The higher the level, the smaller the number of magic pets. Among the so-called three, there are at least two low-level magic pets that have no practical value after level 600. In addition, I am the only one in the ground.
We also need to remove some magic pets that are not suitable for combat, have extreme abilities or are not good at playing with the master. In this way, the ratio of the remaining magic pets with real practical value to the players is actually less than one to ten. In other words, even if you can get a practical high-level magic pet, and there are situations like me who occupy several, then more people will not get a practical magic pet. So so far, players who can get two to three high-level magic pets can basically be counted as lucky.
If there are demon pets here, I don’t have to worry about it. It’s important to finish the business first. After saying goodbye to the flame rabbit, I went straight to Egypt. Speaking of which, I really should have a teleportation point in Egypt. Every time I go to another country, I can rely on the teleportation array to enter and exit, but Egypt always flew from Europe. Not only is it too troublesome if the time is delayed.
After finally crossing the Egyptian border, I immediately teleported to Cairo. Perhaps because of cultural reasons, the number of players in Cairo is always high. Although Cairo was already late at night when I arrived here, the city was extremely lively at this time, and there were endless players coming to Cairo's sightseeing places. Walking on the street, I looked around. Almost all of them were full of people, and more than half of them were non-combat players.
"Hey. Stop." I suddenly heard a voice shouting, but I didn't pay attention until a hand suddenly put on my shoulder. "Hey, I'm calling you! Why don't you stop?"
I turned around and looked at the guy who grabbed me. This is a Chinese player. The main reason for this judgment is that the other party speaks Chinese and has the typical characteristics of Asians. However... although they are all Chinese, I don't need to be too polite to him. There are many Chinese people. Even if I am a patriot, I don't have to love everyone in China! So I didn't give a very good attitude towards this very impolite half-aged child in front of me. "Who knows who you are calling for so many people? Besides, don't you know that your behavior is very rude?"
"Oh my little ancestor! Why are you here? Let me and your dad find it easy!" A woman in her forties suddenly emerged from the crowd and pulled the young man, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and sighed.
The young man seemed to be very disgusted with the middle-aged woman's long-lasting words. He pushed the woman away angrily. "I'm not an idiot, can I still get lost? Hey. Don't leave." I didn't plan to waste time on seeing them talking, so I turned around and left, but the young man found that I was leaving, so he pushed the woman away and grabbed me. "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you running away?"
I took off my helmet and stared at the boy with a cold and handsome expression. "Hey, pay attention to your words and deeds. Don't pull people you don't know on the road casually. Also, I have my own affairs, if you have something, just say it, I don't have much time to spend here with you."
"Why are you like this? Oh..." Before the young man could speak, the woman suddenly inserted and pushed me. Of course, as a combat profession, I couldn't be pushed to the ground by a life player without attributes. The woman seemed to be very angry with her own wrestling. She got up angrily and pushed me hard with her hands. Of course, it was still ineffective. "You actually hit a woman? I fought with you!" After that, the woman suddenly rushed towards me like a bull rushing towards the bullfighter.
In my opinion, this kind of "attack" is comparable to that of a kindergarten child, and of course it is not threatening. However, she is a non-combat player. It is very serious to kill such players without proper tasks in the city, so I try not to have anything to do with her. If she gets into this, I will of course not be a problem, but if she hits herself to death, I don't want to bear the damn system punishment.
In order to prevent the woman from hitting me and committing suicide, I stretched out a hand in front of her head and pushed her in front of her. The gloves in the magic dragon suit are made of special substances that are almost liquid metal. They can adjust the hardness according to my needs, so they will not have as great destructive power as they do during normal combat. The woman's head was pushed and could not hit me, but she didn't seem to give up. She just pushed my hand and threw her arms like two windmills to attack me. Unfortunately, although I am not a tall person with long arms, at least she is still taller than this woman, so her arm could not touch me at all.
In fact, the current situation is still very serious to me, but it is not to my body, but to my image. I think my top-ranked expert in combat power list actually fought with a shrew on the road. If I saw this, I would be ridiculed to death by Ashufude or Anubis!
"Are you finished?" This sentence was not what I said, but from the young man. He walked up and pulled the woman away angrily. "Are you wrong? If I say something to others, you will hit someone and act like a scoundrel like this. You are shameless and I am shameless!"
"Ah...!" The woman suddenly stopped after hearing the young man's words. She cried like she was heartbroken, but now her expression suddenly changed and she immediately looked like she was flattering and flattering. From her dry face, she hadn't she had a tear before! "That... I said son! I'm too..."
"Okay. Don't get up there! Get out of here!"
"Oh." The woman obediently walked behind the young man and stopped talking, as if nothing had happened just now.
I stood beside me with a puzzled look on my face. Judging from the name, they should be mother and son, but from the attitude and behavior of speaking, the woman seemed to be a servant like a young man. I guess this might be a super-protective mother who extremely spoiled children and a completely spoiled little prince-type son. However, it seems that this young man did not completely let himself go. Although the behavioral characteristics created by the environment are very domineering and unable to understand others, at least he can still retain a normal attitude in terms of right and wrong.
Seeing this young man's right and wrong view, I finally asked patiently: "What did you want me to stop?"
"I want to hire you to take me to visit the battle scene."
As an ordinary non-combat player, this requirement is not excessive. "Zero" setting, the non-combat players have absolute protection rights in the city area, which is not to say that they are invincible, but the punishment for killing them will be high enough to be unimaginable. As for wild monsters, of course, they are not restricted by this kind of treaty, so most of this type of players are active in cities or safe wild areas. They usually don't go to the combat areas that normal players enter. However, the combat areas also have their own characteristics. Therefore, there are inevitably non-combat players who want to enter the combat areas, but this has a problem. In the eyes of monsters, non-combat players are no different from ordinary players. They themselves cannot even escape, so this type of gameplay is very common.
Once a family wants to leave the city, someone must protect it. According to the principle that original transactions will be born when necessary, combat players usually don’t mind taking some non-combat professions when leaving the city. It is said that the professional quality of this industry is still very high. It is rare to hear that if you take a task and take people out and run away first when you encounter danger, most combat professions will take the initiative to protect non-combat professions. Of course, this behavior is mainly affected by the credibility mandated by the system. People who run away by themselves will be judged to have a decline in reputation. Such people will have various troubles when trading with others and even when trading with the system. However, people like me who are cheating naturally have ways to mix their credibility. Of course, I will not tell others this secret.
Looking at the young man in front of me, I said seriously: "I have a task on myself. It is very dangerous to go to the place later, so I don't have time to take you out to play."
"No, I'm not going to play, I just want to experience the feeling of being killed in person."
"Ah?" The ruling I had just prepared all stuck in my throat. This kid is too perverted and actually wants to experience the feeling of being killed. Could he be the ultimate perfect body of masochist, the legendary murderous maniac? "This...what...I'm a pervert? I'm going to kill myself? I'm going to kill myself if you want to die. Isn't it enough to just find a high place to jump down?"
"But I'm not going to commit suicide. What I want to experience is the feeling of having nowhere to escape on the battlefield of many monsters or enemies, and then tragically die in the battle formation. Of course, it would be better if I could go on the battlefield for a lifetime, but I think you might not be able to protect my safety if that kind of scene happened. So my request is very simple. Take me into such a field and make sure I try to live longer, and you won't blame you even if I'm killed."
"You don't blame me, the system won't let me go! Is it good if the person I protects is dead, I'll accept punishment?"
"I don't think a little credibility is a serious punishment. Especially if I can give compensation."
"Compensation? What can you compensate me? I have more money than you, and I can't trade in credibility at all. What can you compensate me? Besides, I really don't have time!"
"The more time you don't have, the more it means you are about to participate in the battle, because there is no external combat and fighting with players like you. You will definitely encounter a big battle with you. Also, don't underestimate my compensation." At this point, the young man suddenly turned around and asked the woman for something wrapped in silk, and then he slowly opened the thing in front of me.
"Hmm..." I couldn't help but gasp when I saw what was in front of me. "This...this...this...this...this...this thing?"
"I found the land last time I went to an expedition to a ruins. There were four pieces in total, but unfortunately I was not a fighter, so I couldn't rob them and I only got this piece in the end."
I looked at him carefully and asked, "How do you know what this thing is for?"
"I don't know what this is for, but at that time this thing was sealed in a very powerful magic circle, so I thought it should be a very useful thing and got it back. Today, I obviously guessed it right when you reacted so much."
Under normal circumstances, the more you want something, the less you care. Otherwise, your opponent will seize the opportunity you want very much and kill you. However, I can't control my excited expression at the moment. After all, what he took out was the Stone of the Precepts! That's right. This thing that shouldn't appear in the hands of a non-combat player actually appeared in the hands of the other party, and what is unimaginable is that he was actually treated as a transaction reward by him. Although this young man can be said to be quite smart, he still underestimated the value of the Stone of the Precepts. Today he met me. If someone else knew the use of this thing, I guess the other party would take the snatch even if the punishment was ten times more serious.
No longer talking nonsense to him, I snatched the precept stone and collected it. "I have received the reward. You have to experience the feeling of a life-threatening death, right? Just follow me."
"Did you agree?"
"Nonsense. You are fools who don't do such a big reward! But I'll say first that I often encounter battle scenes. But I can't adjust them for you. But you are lucky. There will be a big action tomorrow afternoon. I promise it is the largest battle you have ever seen."
"Okay, now I'll follow you until I've experienced the feeling I need. Then let's go."
"Ah son! Where are we going?" The woman suddenly started to scream again after sinking for so long.
I turned my head and looked at her in great depression, and then looked at the young man again. "Do you need to take your mom with me?"
The young man's first reaction seemed to want to follow me alone, but I don't know why he opened his mouth and then stopped again. After waiting for a long time, he whispered like a deflated ball: "Forget it. Take the three of us with you! That reward should be enough?"
To be continued...
