105. Tail
Xuanyuan Yu went to collect things very smoothly, and not only the businessmen who were dressed in that dress, but even the low-level players who passed by were trembling, for fear that he would suddenly be inexplicably cut by this summoner, after all, he didn't look like a good person. Since the bounty was withdrawn, the enthusiastic crowd suddenly dispersed, everyone came to play games and not to volunteer, who will help you do things without money?
Now the enthusiasm of the people in the Demon Dragon Guild has also been extinguished by the boss's withdrawal, and they are all sadly soaking in the tavern to see them off, and as a result, the two people are also entangled, and they really can't resist the enthusiasm of the brothers, so they can only drink a few more glasses, but as a result, they were actually delayed for an afternoon, and the matter of "subduing demons and eliminating demons and defending the right path" was thrown out of the clouds.
When Xuanyuan Yu returned to the private house, he deliberately went to walk around the tavern, and then checked the vicinity of the private house to make sure that no one was following him, and then turned over from the thatched house behind him and joined Lin Ziyue and the others.
Now that there was a hint, several people immediately prepared, before Lin Ziyue, going straight to the west, he had to pass through the volcanic archipelago Yahimi to reach the Dongsheng Continent, and directly entered the most prosperous coastline of the Dongsheng Continent. After formally planning the route, with the compass that Xuanyuan Yu had bought, the four of them immediately set off to leave the somewhat chaotic Xigan League.
"Ah Yu, what should they do with Baozi? Baozi and Sanqian and Black and White Boy are still in Xiganmeng, wouldn't it be bad for us to leave like this. Lin Ziyue said in a sneering voice, feeling a little guilty in her heart.
Meng Li and Xuanyuan Yu both looked at her with the eyes of a fool, and Xuanyuan Yan smiled and said: "It's a good thing for a girl to worry about her friends, but can we contact them? Your current information channel shouldn't be able to use it, right? Being able to use storage space is already the ultimate advantage that the phantom world gives us, and you are the only one who has it, obviously we are unwelcome outsiders." ”
"Let's forget about looking for them first, since the people of Liuhe have taken pictures with strawberries, I don't plan to open the space channel to go back to my house, I will definitely be surrounded by people, and there is no way to go home and log in to the game system. We're like a Trojan horse invading the system now, and the main system doesn't let the NPCs shout 'Down with the intruders' or something to just catch you out and kill you, which is already very embarrassing. Xuanyuan Yu made an analogy.
Lin Ziyue shook her head: "The task I completed through time before was like a repair of the cause and effect of the Six Realms, and I think this is also the case at this time. We are not a Trojan horse, but a very simple and small patch, which can only manually fix the deviations of the Phantom World little by little, but it can slow down the control of the Phantom World by the higher forces...... That's why I'm willing to follow the system of the Book of Destiny, because I seem to have an overlapping purpose with it. ”
"I feel that after you went to the underworld, the two of you have really changed a lot," Meng Li sighed a little, "I used to feel like a young man messing around with the two of you, and everything was very relaxed." Now I feel that as soon as I open my mouth, it is a burden that needs to be borne, and it is still dead. ”
Xuanyuan Yan pushed him on the shoulder: "The easiest of the seven deadly sins is you, the whole clerical position, you have long confused the previous murderous spirit with ruthlessness, and you are embarrassed to talk about others? I still remember the first time I saw you, you stood in front of the door of the nightclub room and enjoyed the miserable howl in the door, and you actually hummed a song and beat the beat." The blood on his body was in the dim corridor, like a red cloak. What's even more terrifying is that no one notices that something is wrong with you when people come and go in the hallway. Even a couple of waiters flattered you, and you told them that the big guy in the house was enjoying his private time, well, well, the whole dead man's time......"
Xuanyuan Yu glared at Meng Li before looking at Xuanyuan Yan: "Brother, when did you first see a sword?"
Xuanyuan Yan was silent for a few seconds before he said, "It's been a long time, it seems like it was just yesterday." After your parents left, you fell asleep in the hospital for three days, and I came across Strawberry on the verge of collapse. I thought I was crazy, so I saw apparitions and demons...... So I made a deal with the demon and promised to be her subordinate, as long as she could save you and let me do whatever I wanted. Later, Strawberry took me to meet Asmon, also known as Meng Li. ”
He spoke very lightly, as if he was telling someone else's story, and his face was still that lazy, but there was pain in his eyes that kept rising and falling behind the black pupils.
"Alas......" Xuanyuan Yu sighed and slapped Xuanyuan Yan on the back twice, "I'm sorry, I've actually been resisting you all these years, just because you have your own secrets, but I also have ah, so it feels really uncomfortable to not be able to confess." If I can't trust even my last loved ones, then I really don't know what to trust. Dude, thank you. ”
Lin Ziyue and Meng Li didn't interject, and finally counted the existing things, confirmed the way forward, and let the bitter brothers enjoy this time full of family affection.
When the group went out of the city, it was specially chosen at night. Even if they are in the illusory world, this world is still six hours and a day and night, so Xuanyuan Yu and Meng Li had another heavenly conversation, and neither of them was convinced by the question of whether the planet rotated fast or whether there were four suns in the sky.
Lin Ziyue ignored these two guys who were full of childishness as soon as they were serious, and seriously asked Xuanyuan Yan about the power of cause and effect. She had tried, and she could still drive the power of cause and effect in the Illusory World, but there was still no more effective way to use it. Therefore, Lin Ziyue wanted to ask Xuanyuan Yan why he changed so much after absorbing it, and decided to use these experiences as another hole card for himself.
Several people managed to rent a local carriage, and they didn't come up to ask questions along the way, and in the eyes of most players, most of the people who could use the vehicles were still NPCs. Lin Ziyue even bought a small boat in case she needed to walk by water, and it was really a bit troublesome to have a versatile clover without black and white boys.
But not long after leaving the city, Xuanyuan Yan was obviously uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Yu was the first to notice that something was wrong with his brother.
Xuanyuan Yan's hand nodded into the grass: "I have always put smoke close to the ground to guard, and now there is a cordon in the southwest that is slowly disappearing." Notice that it was not dispersed all at once, but followed us in our direction, and by the movement of my cordon was moving forward as we went. ”
Meng Li, who was sitting outside the carriage to catch the carriage, pulled the horse's head slightly and stopped, leaned into the carriage and said, "Do you want me to test it? Or do you want to fight directly? I'm afraid it's those stalkers of the Demon Dragon Guild again." They didn't move on the surface, but there must have been a lot of people staring at us. ”
Lin Ziyue was very helpless: "These people obviously know that they will give away their heads, why are they still so persevering? Isn't death also punished with gold coins and experience? They don't bother, but we have to work hard with them, it's not worth it." ”
Xuanyuan Yu pushed Meng Li's head out, and he also went out, holding a dagger in his hand: "I'll take a look, with the skill of stealth in my body, how can I get rid of it, unlike the two of you who have to be restrained by human attributes, shame!"
After saying that, he walked away without looking back, ignoring Xuanyuan Yan and Meng Li's middle fingers.
"Old smoke, are they still pushing this way?"
Xuanyuan Yan shook his head: "The moment they found that the smoke line slowed down, it stopped, and now the cordon over there has been restored to its integrity, and there is no movement." Is it okay for the little brother to be alone?"
Lin Ziyue comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Ayu's spatial crack doesn't say anything else, at least it's absolutely no problem to get out." What's more, his stealth is a sharp weapon whether it is approaching the enemy or getting out of the battle, I believe him. Since he has this confidence, leave it to him, let's keep walking, you leave a part of the smoke line on the ground to show Ah Yu the approximate location of those people. If we stay here for a long time, we won't be able to catch them, and only by constantly moving, those people will be exposed by tracking the smoke rings. ”
Meng Li continued to go back to catch the car, but Xuanyuan Yan was still a little uneasy: "Since they dare to let us know about their existence, they must have something to rely on, why don't you go and help the little brother?"
Lin Ziyue shook her head: "I don't want his self-esteem to be frustrated. Although Ah Yu has K's ability these days, he still can't use it freely, and he has been angry in his heart, feeling that he can't help, so he wants to get everything on himself. If I don't let him act on his own, he will always feel that I am pressing him, and I don't want him to feel aggrieved. ”
"Well...... Combat is a shortcut to growth. Understanding Lin Ziyue's intentions, Xuanyuan Yan understood that she wanted to let Xuanyuan Yu become stronger as soon as possible. If the gap between the two widens, it will become more and more difficult to balance this relationship, and this girl is really planning for a long time.
Meng Li shouted, and the two docile mares raised their hooves and slowly moved forward. This road was originally just a small road near Xiganmeng, and from time to time there was the shrill chirping of night owls in the lush woods on both sides, and the flat ground in front of it had been swept over by Xuanyuan Yan's smoke rings, so the dust and gravel on the ground had been crushed and turned into part of those warning smoke lines, so that the carriage could move so steadily.
Even if there are beasts foraging in the dark or monsters that players use to upgrade, they are far away under the deterrence of those smoke lines, and the instinct of animals to avoid danger is still very strong. This area does not lead to the leveling area, and there are no players, even if there are people who want to come to the mountains to search for herb ores or do tasks, they will not choose to come out in the middle of the night. The monsters in the night of the world are much more dangerous than in the daytime, which has long been the consensus of experienced players.
The sun rises from the other side of the mountain, reflecting the clouds like cherries at times and then into egg yolks. Meng Li glanced at the windless curtain beside him, and then ignored it, concentrating on catching the car. Later, at noon, Xuanyuan Yan will change shifts, and the next night will be the time for a few people to stop and rest, after all, the horses do not have the abnormal physique of these people, and they still have to drink water and chew grass.
"How's that?"
Xuanyuan Yu's expression was very relaxed: "There are not many people, just two, they don't have any means to break through the invisibility, but they do follow very closely and bite the trace of the cordon." One was the man with the hat I had seen before, and the other was the guy with different eyes, and they were all dressed in simple clothes. Now both of them are wearing hats and carrying tents, and at first glance, they have borrowed other people's task props, otherwise if they are their own things, they will not carry them on their backs, and they must have put them in their backpacks. This is a bit of a hassle for us, I didn't expect them to get a tent, this is originally a prop prepared to make it easier for players to explore farther towns, so that they can go offline anytime and anywhere, but the respawn point range is only those two square meters, and the interval between uses takes a day of fantasy, about six hours. ”
"Thank you...... Two tents, one person offline and one person watching," Lin Ziyue muttered, "They are well arranged, they don't have the heart to call directly, I'm afraid they are waiting for us to waste our energy." ”
"Then their abacus will be loud enough, but unfortunately we are all only half a player, Meng Li and I don't need much food or sleep, just meditate and pranayama. You and the little brother both have special physiques, if it weren't for taking care of these two horses, I'm afraid it would not be a problem for us to travel 3,000 miles a day. Xuanyuan said leisurely, straightening the pillow behind him.
Lin Ziyue nodded: "The carriage mainly plays the role of a trick, but in fact, if it comes out of the Xigan League, it will not be of much use to us." ”
"Then if they do it, we will use this obstacle for a while, and then we will leave the carriage far away. Xuanyuan Yu said.
"I can't leave anyone behind, now I have a map, I can see your location at any time, I'll stay ......"
"It's too dangerous for you to stay, I'm against it!" Xuanyuan Yu interrupted Lin Ziyue and stopped what Xuanyuan Yan wanted to say, "Brother, you and Yijian can't do it, you two will only be more restrained." ”
Xuanyuan Yan sighed: "We don't have to worry about letting you stay, you don't have a map at that time, and it will only be easier to get lost if you go forward, and we will have to enter the mountain after another fork." ”
Lin Ziyue's eyes rolled: "Then just leave the carriage at the fork in the road, I don't think we need to follow the road." Isn't it just vegetation all over the mountain? That's Jack's territory. ”
It took a few seconds for Xuanyuan Yu to react: "Wait, you said Jack?
"Yes, it's always been, but it doesn't seem to have fused new powers. It is thanks to him that I can now communicate with plants through my cane. If it weren't for his help, I would have been unlucky in those time-traveling missions. ”
A wicked smile appeared on Xuanyuan Yu's face: "I have a small idea now......"
"Knowing that you are going to make those two people unlucky, don't sell it if you have any plans, just say it. Lin Ziyue shook her head helplessly.
Xuanyuan Yu talked about his design in a few words, Xuanyuan Yan nodded again and again after listening, Lin Ziyue frowned, and thought for a while before saying: "Forget it, be ruthless, anyway, the fight with the players here can't hurt them, it shouldn't matter." ”
The carriage gradually stopped, Meng Li entered the carriage to change shifts with Xuanyuan Yan, he only glanced at Xuanyuan Yu indifferently when he heard this plan: "Although it is a little simple, since it is better to have a plan than not at all." As for the bait in this plan, I won't sell myself, and I hope you two don't sell old cigarettes either. ”
"I think too much about you, we have a ready-made one here, and it doesn't look like a good guy. Xuanyuan Yan pointed to the Botisi on Lin Ziyue's wrist.
Botisi was so frightened that she fell down, and when she fell to the ground, she wanted to get into the corner of the carriage and couldn't come out, but she was trampled on her tail by Meng Li.
"It's not that I said, you're also an ancient demon, why are you so spineless? Letting you be a bait doesn't send you to death, it's just to attract the attention of those two people, and we're all in ambush behind. Meng Li said angrily.
Botisi wanted to cry and roared without tears: "How light your mouth is when you touch it! Why don't you go!
"There is no salvation, the more you live, the more afraid of death. Xuanyuan muttered, lifted the curtain and went to drive the carriage.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Meng Li always felt that there was a metaphor hidden between listening to Xuanyuan Yan's tone.
