Chapter Ninety-Eight: No More, No Less, Four Thousand Is Enough
No more, no less, four thousand is enough
The wind in the forest seemed to become much warmer under the dappled sunlight shining through the dense forest, the breeze blowing, the wide leaves "gurgling" and the vines that have been hanging from the ancient trees everywhere swaying with the wind, swaying graceful traces.
The sound of birds and insects is crisp and pleasant, but I don't know when, it suddenly disappeared without a trace, and even the flower elves that can be seen everywhere are hiding, quiet, it is too quiet, and the silence that goes deep into the bone marrow makes the little boy lying on the branch of the tree feel excited, he glanced at Li Qi, who was facing away from him, and the fear was gradually calmed down by himself.
The vine not far away swayed abnormally, as if someone was trying to get out of it.
The little boy suddenly became nervous, his hands unconsciously grasped the trunk of the old bark tree that crisscrossed the ravine, a young leaf turned into green mud in his hand, and the faint fragrance of plants and trees spread on the tip of his nose.
The vines shook more and more, and in a short time, a man came out of it, wearing a white shirt and a white hat, wearing a white mask, the mask had no eyes and no mouth, like a white piece of paper, only a black hole in the nose area was exposed, and above the hole floated a large translucent cyan nose tip.
The white strange man stopped under the tree where Li Qi and the others were, and the tip of his cyan nose floating on top of the mask shook twice, as if someone was snorting sharply. The little boy buried his head in the trunk of the tree, and with great willpower he kept himself from trembling and looking at the disgusting face.
A warm palm gently rested on his shoulder, and he patted it lightly twice, and the little boy raised his head like chaff, tears already welling up in his crystal eyes.
"Don't be afraid. ”
He saw the person opposite him say to himself with his mouth, and his tormented heart slowly calmed down, and his fear disappeared in an instant.
Li Qi calmed the little boy and turned his gaze to the tree again, not daring to come out.
The man under the tree was clearly not a magician, but rather an alchemist, and all the strange things were made by them.
If the people chasing after him are all magicians, Li Qi can still maneuver with his own speed, but unfortunately, the least professional in this world is magicians, don't look at the magicians that Li Qi comes into contact with every day, but most of them are not even intermediate magic apprentices, and what is the environment in which Li Qi lives?
Let's not talk about the Orihe Group, the Oritsuru Academy is a simple magic academy, and the academy does not recruit students from other professions except magicians, let alone participate in the academy competition, the full name of the academy is the Academy of Magic, which has fully explained everything.
Comparable to the high status and weak body of the mage, it is their terrifying range attack ability, so the mage usually has their own team, or serves in the army recruited by the city lord's mansion to protect the city of Haman, and the lone mage is either down to a certain extent, or notorious, and no one wants to accept them.
Although Li Qi is a little special, he is still not out of the category of magicians, fighting alone is still not what he is good at, his melee kung fu is okay to bully other magicians, and it is far from enough to use it against various melee professions.
If it's the whole crane group here...... If all the people who chase after them are magicians......
Li Qi gritted his teeth, where are there so many ifs, it's too late to regret it now, so he can only wait and see what happens, and adapt to the situation.
After the white strange man stopped, the vine curtain hanging behind him was shaken again, and this time it was a big fat man like a mountain of meat, the fat man smiled and looked kind, but for some reason, when Li Qi looked at him, a chill surged in his heart.
Followed by the fat man was a thin man with triangular eyes wearing an earthy yellow magic robe, Li Qi looked at this person, and always felt a little familiar, he seemed to have seen it in the treasure hunting alley before, and his heart suddenly became clear, but he was afraid that the huge gold coins on his body were remembered.
Looking behind them, there was no one coming out.
The temperature in the forest was a little hot and humid, even if the fat man was a high-level sword servant's cultivation, he couldn't change the fact that he was a fat man, under this hot and humid temperature, the thin shirt he was wearing had already been soaked with sweat, and the sticky sweat stuck to his body, which was very uncomfortable.
The fat man scooped up the corner of his clothes, wiped the sweat stains on his head, and asked the white weirdo who was the first to arrive before: "Second brother, why did you stop?"
The white weirdo tilted his head, as if thinking about the meaning of the fat man's words, and after thinking for a long time, a dry voice came from under the mask: "Smell...... Right here......"
"Right here, won't it?" Triangle subconsciously replied, "It's not far from the treasure hunting alley, they've been gone for a while, how can they stop when they come here." ”
"Smell...... Here we are...... Stopped...... Stopped...... "The white weirdo seemed to have something wrong with his brain, and he ignored his questioning in Triangular's words, and just tried to explain to the fat man.
"Well, I see, is there anything about the smell here that doesn't fit in with the environment?" the fat man whispered to comfort the white weirdo.
Hearing the fat man's words, the white weirdo was stunned for a moment, and the huge green transparent nose floating on the mask twitched violently, and the movement was ten times larger than before.
The three people lying on the tree suddenly became a little nervous, they couldn't see it now, they were tracked by this white stranger, the three people under the tree were obviously not good goods, if they were sniffed out by the white stranger, they were afraid that they would be lucky today. But it often backfired, and even if the three of them kept praying in their hearts, it didn't seem to have any effect, and the green nose twitched for a long time, aiming straight at the position of the three of them.
"Little Midori...... Say...... The previous smell is gone...... He couldn't find them based on the previous taste...... But there is the fragrance of new leaves, which is very unpleasant with the environment......" The white stranger muttered after a moment of pause in his nose, as if he had listened for a moment.
"The fragrance of the new leaves? what is that?" the fat man thoughtfully said.
"The fragrance of new leaves?" Li Qi on the tree wondered in his heart.
The little boy looked at the green leaves in his palms, and was shocked, his face was suddenly full of remorse, and his shining eyes dimmed for a moment.
"Whatever it is, just look over there and you'll know!" Triangle Eye said unceremoniously, then took out a pseudo-red scroll from the ring, and with a tear of his hand, an orange fireball appeared in front of him with a raging wave of heat.
The triangular eye pointed in the direction indicated by the nose, and the fireball "roared" through the air with a fire mark, and collided towards the place where Li Qi and the three of them were.
Even the lowest-level fireball technique was not something that the flesh of the three magicians could carry down alive, and seeing that the fireball had arrived in front of them, in desperation, the three of them dodged one by one and jumped down from the other side of the trunk. "Boom!"
A loud sound accompanied by a heat wave pushed the three of them to stagger, and then looked at the place where the three of them were hiding before, the leaves were already withered and charred.
"Yo-he...... Sure enough, it's here!" Triangle Eye didn't expect that he just put a fireball in his hand, and he could blow up the main owner of this tracking, and he was a little surprised, surprised, and said a little viciously.
"Second brother, you have made meritorious contributions again!" The fat man patted the white stranger's shoulder appreciatively, and looked at Li Qi with a smile: "This is the famous Li Qi of the Folding Crane Troupe, right?"
"I'm Li Qi, who are you, what are you doing with us?" Li Qi was expressionless, and his heart was extremely vigilant.
"I'm just a nobody, isn't it urgent to find Brother Gu......" The fat man seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"What's the urgency?" Li Qi casually looked at his surroundings, and gestured to Hu Li with the hand behind his back, Hu Li understood, and pulled the little boy to quietly take two steps back.
Although Hu Li's strength is low, but he can mix in the treasure hunting street until now, he naturally has extraordinary eyesight, and it can be regarded as a ** lake, seeing the previous situation, he secretly said that it was not good, and his heart had already secretly calculated a few escape routes, and now the direction of retreat is naturally the one closest to them.
"Don't move!" Triangle Eye noticed Hu Li's movements, and while shouting loudly, he shouted with the fat man with some dissatisfaction: "Boss, what are the efforts, just kill them, don't grind with them!"
Li Qi's heart sank, if the triangular eye didn't tell their intentions, he could still pretend to be confused and pretend not to know, delay a little time, as long as Hu Li and they ran first, Li Qi believed that with their slippery level, it would be absolutely impossible for these people to block themselves, but I didn't expect this triangular eye to directly say their intentions, this is difficult to do!
"Did I let you speak?" The fat man glared at the triangular eyes fiercely, and then turned into that smile and looked at Li Qi: "Brother Gu, you see, we have been a little tight recently, I heard that you just entered the account with a sum of gold coins, I don't know if you can borrow a few brothers temporarily." ”
"Boss!" Triangle Eye shouted dissatisfiedly, in his opinion, with the strength of a fat man's high-level sword servant, killing Li Qi and them was just a flip of the palm, and the mountain of four thousand gold coins kept imagining in his mind, as if a kitten was constantly tickling his heart, and he couldn't hold it back for even a moment.
"Idiot, don't let them take it out by themselves, can you break the prohibition on the Forbidden Ring? It's not real money, how can you run away? Don't you know how to kill after cheating?" The fat man hated it, and shouted quietly and hurriedly to Triangle Eye.
When the triangular eye heard this, he quieted down, but looking at Li Qi's eyes, he still had **naked greed.
"Borrowing gold coins temporarily, this is a trivial matter, I don't know how much I want to borrow?" Li Qi sighed in his heart, as long as the three people in front of him didn't do it immediately, the longer it dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for them.
"No more, no less...... Four thousand is enough!" the fat man's eyes were smiling.
"No more, no less...... Four thousand is enough?" Now even the corners of the mouth of the triangular eyes twitched a little, no wonder I can't be the boss, it turns out that being the boss has to be thick to a certain extent!
