"Codename 'Wind Whisper', Ability Level: 43.5% of C-Rank, 31 Completed Missions, Accessible Missions at this stage: C-Level and below. β
Gu Xiaobai looked up at the night sky, he had been doing tasks for two weeks in a row, and every day in addition to cultivating, he was also carrying out tasks. After the level was promoted to C level, the difficulty of the task also increased a little, but fortunately, he could handle it, and occasionally he could encounter very simple tasks, and he didn't care about the corresponding reward, after all, his savings were still very considerable.
For two weeks in a row, Gu Xiaobai would only meet Long Xiangyu every few days, Long Xiangyu's company had just stepped into the right track, she went out early and returned late every day, and when she returned home at night, she was on the verge of prostration, but as long as she could push the door and see Gu Xiaobai, she would be able to regain her vitality and get into Gu Xiaobai's arms with a smile.
Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door, Gu Xiaobai pushed the door and came to the first floor, sure enough, Long Xiangyu didn't come home until late at night today, she threw her high heels aside casually, and then slumped on the sofa.
The light in the living room was not turned on, so Gu Xiaobai quietly touched the sofa and slowly sat down beside her.
Feeling the movement beside him, Long Xiangyu lay sideways in Gu Xiaobai's arms, still that familiar smell, which can always relieve his fatigue for a day, and for some reason, lying in his arms can always become calm.
"Are you tired today?" Gu Xiaobai said as he helped her rub her shoulder.
"Well, that old American man today is so stubborn, he dragged out the contract that could have been signed in an hour, and finally he had to drag me to dinner. Long Xiangyu was weak when she spoke, and there was a faint smell of wine.
"So, you're going?"
Long Xiangyu suddenly turned her head to look at Gu Xiaobai, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, are you unhappy?"
Gu Xiaobai smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, I'll just drink a glass of wine and slip out, anyway, the contract has been signed, I'm afraid that he won't regret it, but I want to keep my stomach and go home to eat my aunt's cooking." β
Gu Xiaobai's mother would always leave a separate meal for Long Xiangyu after dinner, and she treated Long Xiangyu like her own daughter.
"I didn't leave you food today. Gu Xiaobai helped Long Xiangyu up.
"Huh?" Long Xiangyu's tone was a little disappointed.
"Because today I cooked it myself. β
The light above the dining table was on, and a sumptuous meal had already been prepared, because just today, Gu Xiaobai suddenly realized that he never seemed to have fulfilled his responsibilities as a fiancΓ©.
......
After a few glasses of red wine, Long Xiangyuqiao's face was slightly red and drowsy, Gu Xiaobai simply picked her up and walked to her room and put her on the bed that originally belonged to her.
There was an inexplicable fragrance in the room, Gu Xiaobai lowered his head and approached Long Xiangyu to smell it, it was exactly the same as the smell, it was intoxicating, Gu Xiaobai couldn't help but imprint it on her red lips, this intoxicating touch made him out of control, and his hands stretched out to the forbidden place......
"Boy, your behavior is very dangerous!" Suddenly, Long Zhanqian's voice and shadow exploded in his mind, making Gu Xiaobai wake up in an instant, he subconsciously looked around, and couldn't see his figure at all.
Gu Xiaobai embarrassedly helped Long Xiangyu cover the quilt, turned around and walked out of the room, the moment he closed the door, he didn't see it, the corners of Long Xiangyu's mouth were slightly upturned......
The next day, Long Xiangyu still left early in the morning, and Gu Xiaobai simply ended his cultivation state, planning to go out for two laps and see if there were any tasks that could be taken.
As soon as he walked out of the door, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, Gu Xiaobai glanced at the screen, it was Long Zhanqian, he subconsciously looked around, and the scolding last night was still impressive.
"Ancestral ...... Grandpa ......" Gu Xiaobai pressed the answer button.
"Yo, it's so early today, didn't you do anything last night as a substitute?" Long Zhanqian sneered playfully as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Where do you start with this......" Gu Xiaobai felt a sense of powerlessness, this old man was like a ghost, watching himself everywhere.
"Don't worry, I'm not with you now, otherwise I wouldn't have to call you. I called you because I got a message that might be of interest to you. β
"What's the news?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then he said: "The Western Desert, which was only opened to the public a few days ago, is the place where you got that strange fruit, which was invaded by the Blood Clan. β
Gu Xiaobai's heart suddenly sank, and he had a bad premonition.
Long Zhanqian didn't get Gu Xiaobai's answer, so he continued: "The people we stayed there encountered them, and there were casualties on both sides, but we didn't understand the purpose of their invasion. β
"You called on purpose, there must be something else, right?" Gu Xiaobai prayed in his heart, it was better not what he thought.
"Yes, that double-ability girl named Li Wangke was taken away by them. β
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
"So, I'm guessing they're trying to figure out why the girl's dual abilities exist. β
"Hey, why don't you speak?" asked Long Zhanqian.
"When?"
"About an hour ago, and according to our people's reports, the old blood monster named Dracula also went. β
S-class powerhouse Dracula Brylan, Gu Xiaobai felt that he was being poured a basin of cold water over his head, and his originally impulsive heart suddenly cooled.
"You mean, one of the 'dragons', S-class adepts?"
"Yes, that old red hair, he hasn't shown up in a long time, and I didn't believe it when I first got the news. β
Gu Xiaobai was silent, he didn't know how to continue, his mind was full of Li Wangke's smile.
"I remember that you had a good relationship with that girl, so I told you that we would send someone into the Western Desert again tomorrow to check the casualties there, and I thought maybe you would want to check it out. β
Gu Xiaobai suddenly smiled, and that smile was unprecedentedly hideous.
"Of course I will, not only will I save that girl, but sooner or later I will tear that old miscellaneous hair with my own hands!" Through the earpiece, Long Zhanqian could feel his killing intent, and I had to say that Gu Xiaobai was the most murderous person he had ever seen at the same age, but he controlled it very well and rarely showed it.
"Is that girl so important to you?"
"She shouldn't be treated like this!"
Gu Xiaobai's answer made Long Zhanqian not know how to continue, so he had to change the topic, "Tomorrow morning in Eryuan's base, if you want to go, then arrive early." After speaking, Long Zhanqian hung up the phone.
The sudden news made Gu Xiaobai seem to be a different person, he began to run frantically on the road, and the people who came and went looked at this veritable "flying man" in amazement, and disappeared at the end of the field of vision in a blink of an eye.
Today's Long Xiangyu still came back very late, the moon had climbed to the highest point, the two of them stood on the balcony on the second floor, the evening breeze blew through Long Xiangyu's long hair, and the hair gently touched Gu Xiaobai's arm.
"Grandpa said, you're going to go to that place again tomorrow?"
"Well, I'm going to save that girl. Gu Xiaobai looked straight at the moon, his face full of determination.
"What is the charm of that girl that can make you do this?" Long Xiangyu's tone seemed to be slightly jealous, but she didn't show it too obviously.
"No, it has nothing to do with me and her gender, although she has someone she likes very much, but in order to save me, she still gave up something very important, so she should be an angel who is respected and loved by people, she should not be treated like this. β
Long Xiangyu suddenly laughed, the laughter was very comforting, he gently stroked Gu Xiaobai's back, and said, "I understand, then you must save her, angels can't fall into the abyss, do you say?"
Gu Xiaobai turned his head to look at Long Xiangyu, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"It's great that someone understands me......"
Gu Xiaobai stood in front of the long gray runway, and couldn't help but start to sigh at Long Eryuan's ability, it was full of all kinds of planes, most of which he couldn't see on the Internet.
"Don't look, we don't sit on these, there is no runway in that place, how can we land?"
Gu Xiaobai was patted on the shoulder, and turned his head to look over, it turned out to be Li Guang who had been away for many days, the last time he saw him was in the Western Desert, and this time it was the same destination.
"Stinky old man, what are you doing here?"
Li Guang casually punched Gu Xiaobai in the face, directly blasting him out.
"Stinky boy, do you understand respecting the old and loving the young, besides, I'm still your master, who is the stinky old man used to call?"
Then everyone who came laughed, Gu Xiaobai's name for Li Guang has always been a famous stalk within CAN, what "stinky old man", "old turtle", "old immortal", no one dares to call an S-level supernatural like this, coupled with Li Guang's special status, his status in the organization is still very high, even Long Eryuan has to show the posture that juniors should have when they see their elders.
"Old Zamao, if you have the ability, you will kill me!" Gu Xiaobai, who got up from the ground, shouted with a dissatisfied expression.
"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, and today they heard a new name.
Soon, a total of five helicopters landed in the open space next to the runway, and everyone quickly got in, the propellers rotated at high speed, and the five helicopters flew away, aiming for the west.
I don't know how long it flew, Gu Xiaobai only knew that the plane landed a few times in the middle of the flight, and after replenishing the fuel, he continued to hurry, until he couldn't see the green shade when he looked down, and then he officially entered the desert area.
It's still that familiar place, thinking back to the days and nights when I ran in the desert, that group of crazy centaurs have now turned into small sandbags that can be seen everywhere in the desert, and after the blockade was lifted, even the storm never appeared again, and these small sandbags turned into centaurs have been preserved.
"It's almost there!"
Gu Xiaobai looked for the sound, this was the corner of the remains of the sealed wall, the mountain of sand had not been cleaned up, it stretched away like a giant snake, and the helicopter kept moving along the "giant snake", and soon, you could vaguely see the figure.
"The report said that the place that was attacked this time was the 'Xiaoxi Village' in the Southern Regions, and it has spread all the way to the vicinity of the original wall, and the traces of the battle should be seen soon. β
Sure enough, something strange could already be seen not far away, because a blood-red imprint suddenly appeared in the large yellow earth, and on the periphery of these imprints, there was also a circle of golden imprints, all the imprints were irregular, scattered everywhere, and the ground was also pitted, obviously, there was a terrible battle here, because even the "mountain" that had been piled up after the collapse of the sealing wall had a terrifying gap, and a powerful force pierced it, and the sand was lifted into the boundaries of the original northern region.
The helicopter landed slowly, and the people below surrounded from all directions, most of them looking wary and watching the people who got off the plane warily.
It wasn't until they saw Gu Xiaobai that everyone's expressions relaxed, and the first to come up was Sha Wentian, who was in a very bad state, his body was emaciated, his expression was lonely, and it seemed that he had not rested for a long time.
Sha Wentian walked in front of everyone and knelt on the ground with a "plop", Gu Xiaobai and the others were stunned for a moment.
"Please help my father avenge me, as long as I can kill that monster and let me be a cow and a horse!" After saying that, Sha Wentian's head hit the ground hard, directly smashing the ground into a big hole.
Gu Xiaobai looked at the others around him, their faces were full of exhaustion and pain.
"What the hell is going on, you have to explain it to us before we can find a way to help you. Li Guang raised his hand to help Sha Wentian up, and everyone also gathered around, trying to figure out what was going on.
Sha Wentian endured the trembling of his body and began to tell what had happened.
It turned out that on the day of the incident, a group of Blood Clan Abilities suddenly appeared near the sealing wall. In order to re-establish the normal order of the two domains, Shalijin and Li Yuanxing lived in Xiaoxi Village at that time, and everything was recovering in an orderly manner, but as soon as this group of blood clans came, they wanted to rob people, and the target of the robbery was Li Wangke. Of course, everyone didn't agree, but several ruthless characters in the blood clan were not only strong, but also vicious and vicious, Li Yuanxing was directly seriously injured, and Wang Meisheng was directly pierced by the blood clan in order to protect her husband. Sha Wentian's father rushed forward and barely reached a tie with one of the blood clans, but gradually lost his physical strength, and finally Sharijin even did not hesitate to burn his own life in exchange for the terrifying power of the ability, but who knew that the real boss in the blood clan had not appeared, and suddenly jumped out and started a terrifying duel with Sharijin. As expected, Sharijin was burning his life after all, and he had no strength to do so, and finally died at the hands of the Blood Clan.
During this period, many people tried to stop each other, but they all died at their hands, including some CAO members who stayed here, and those blood clans finally took Li Wangke as they wished.
Li Guang frowned and looked at the traces of battle left on the ground, it was hard to imagine that the power gained in exchange for burning life could not defeat the other party, then this mysterious blood clan was undoubtedly the Dracula Bryren mentioned in the report.
