Chapter 5: Chance Encounters
Obviously, there are people around who have also seen this task, but after seeing the mission items, their tone is stunned: "Silver wolf blood? This thing is only available at the junction of the inner and outer periphery." And who's going to challenge a whole pack of silver wolves. ”
Ji Nushang plans to only take the task of collecting herbs before, as for this silver wolf blood, although she is also quite interested, but in order to avoid the failure of the mission to be recorded in the mercenary file, there is no need to take the task now. Of course, if she gets it, but there are other mercenaries who take the task, she will change hands again.
Seeing that Ji Nu had chosen the task in this way, Mu Jie honestly registered and walked slowly. The waiter saw her leaving, so he stepped forward to Mu Jie's side and asked, "Did that kid really take the task just now?"
"Hmm. It's a collection of herbs, on the periphery, it's quite simple. Mu Jie was not interested in staying here any longer, and his heart was a little depressed, and he said impatiently to the waiter, "You can help me watch it for a while." I haven't finished my wine yet. What a disappointment. ”
"Alright, go drink. ”
The waiter agreed to Mu Jie's request, and only after the people entered the inner hall did he sneer.
The Sunset Forest is called the Sunset Forest because the scenery is at its most beautiful at sunset. The time limit for this blue task at hand is one month, but there is no hurry, this road is bumpy and bumpy, and she thinks it is necessary to calm down while she is in a hurry now. Moreover, it is good for thinking.
She hasn't met anyone from the Ji family yet, obviously this is a good thing. However, the Ji family is also a small family, and they can still be called tigers in their city. However, this does not mean that she will take it lightly, Ji Chang'an and Ji Changning, the two brothers are not bad, in case they pass the recruitment examination and also go to Sun Moon Academy, this is possible.
The only way for her is to become stronger.
There are five or six kinds of herbs that need to be collected, and the more the better, Ji Nushang took out the map he bought before entering the forest, roughly identified the direction, and walked south.
The silence along the way was very rare, not even the sound of wind and insects. The grass on the road is lush and the scenery of the trees is still extremely beautiful, skimming off the faint sense of danger.
Ji Nushang's heart lifted, her face still unmoved, but her perception told her that there were people around.
After walking for a while, he found that it seemed to be just a chance encounter with himself, and after confirming that he had left, Ji Nushang felt a little strange. The man had clearly followed her for a while, and she thought that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, but she was afraid that someone from the Ji family had found her.
Further on, you can already hear the sound of running water, and after a bend, you can see a huge river flowing through the Sunset Forest to the east.
There is a quest item called Yingcao near the river, and the faint glow emitted by Yingcao can be seen from the time of sunset a few days ago. Ji Nu compared the description of the task items, and after confirming it, he picked the grass and put it in the baggage.
"Sand ...... Sand...... Rustle......"
After a slight movement, Ji Nushang had already turned around and looked at the place where the sound had come from. It's just a pity that I didn't see anything.
Could it be the person who followed him just now?
"Come out. Ji Nushang stared at that place, and his hand had quietly touched the dagger in his sleeve.
Can this be discovered?
Xie Jingxian, who was hiding in the tree, touched his nose, thinking that he had obviously worn beads to shield spiritual detection, how could he be discovered by this little girl with only one section of strength.
Seeing that no one came out, Ji Nushang threw the dagger out with his backhand and nailed it straight to the trunk of the tree behind Xie Jingxian, so frightened that he climbed down the tree in embarrassment, glared and said: "I said, why is your little girl so unceremonious, what if you stab someone? Even if you don't stab someone, it's not right to destroy flowers and plants." ”
Ji Nushang pulled out a fake smile and replied, "I stabbed you the one who stabbed you." What the hell are you trying to do with me. ”
Xie Jingxian was a little embarrassed, but his tone was reasonable: "Didn't you just find that you can sense my location." By the way, how did you find me?"
Oh, it's not someone sent by the Ji family, so it has nothing to do with her, it's just a misunderstanding.
Climbing up the tree to retrieve the dagger, Ji Nushang jumped directly under the tree, glanced at Xie Jingxian who was blocking the way, and said, "Let go, it's in the way." ”
Xie Jingxian didn't give up, she just wanted to know how she found out that she was following her, and the whole person was stuck up like a dog skin plaster: "I said, how did you find me? My name is Xie Jingxian, what is your name? Also, how did you come to the Sunset Forest alone, this forest is very dangerous......"
The continuous sound of inquiry sounded in his ears, and Ji Nushang remembered the cicadas he had encountered before that would only scream, and he was annoyed by the question, and he refused to leave when he saw this person's dead face, and finally couldn't help but show his dagger, stared at Xie Jingxian and said, "Stay away from me." If you say it again, I'll stab you. ”
Xie Jingxian was stunned for a moment, then smiled shyly: "You can't beat me." ”
Ji Nu put away the dagger, and when Xie Jingxian thought she had given up, she calmly and directly knocked the person to the ground.
"I said, stay away from me. ”
It's really a fight...... Xie Jingxian rolled on the ground a few times while holding his stomach, his face twitching. But he really didn't dare to walk around this sunset forest alone now. This girl can still find him under the beads that she wears to shield her spirit, and her strength is definitely not bad. If you miss this village, you know if he will encounter any spirit beasts in the future, so that the corpse wilderness will be.
"......Wait! I'm familiar with spirit grass and spirit beasts, and bringing one with me is equivalent to bringing a free tour guide, and I said are you sure you don't need it? I just need you to keep me safe. ”
Ji Nushang ignored him and continued to walk forward.
"I still have a few thousand gold coins on me, I can give ......"
Ji Nushang returned to him: "Deal." ”
This damn miser! Xie Jingxian gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, and Ji Nushang didn't urge, but this time when he asked for his name, Ji Nushang didn't refuse, and reported the fake name of Lan Nu.
"Then you have to protect me, little slave. Xie Jingxian pretended to be pitiful and leaned towards her, causing Ji Nushang to simply drag the collar and throw the person on the edge of the tree, saying that he wanted to go out to find something to cook dinner, and then left Xie Jingxian alone to act as a statue on the edge of the tree.
The little slave won't come back, will he......
Xie Jingxian hid back to the tree in fear.
It's over, cooked...... Ah, no, the bodyguard in hand seems to have flown again......
