Chapter 47 The Phantom Mirage
Before the first spring breeze blew, Wang Sheng had already dug hundreds of deep and shallow pits in this wasteland, and since the heavens had given him this pit digging spell, he had to practice it no matter what.
He remembered that when he was in graduate school in his previous life, he met a top player in the 'World of Warcraft', and his senior brother could use any character in this game to abuse Wang Sheng, and this was also the only time that Wang Sheng admitted that his skills were inferior.
This classmate told him that there was never a garbage skill, only a garbage player who couldn't use it. Wang Sheng adheres to this belief, and has practiced the few magic techniques that he can use now, and has also studied several combinations. For example, first launch a small crescent, and then bully the opponent to get close to him, while the opponent is not paying attention, make a pit under his feet, pit the opponent, and if the enemy falls, you can lie on his back and strangle him to death.
In the afternoon of this day, when Wang Sheng was smashing a dirt pit on the side of the stream, he accidentally trapped a fat fish with a big head, so he directly hung an iron pot, lit a fire with fire magic, and made a pot of pickled pepper fish heads.
But this big fish that looked quite fat turned out to be fishy and smelly after cooking, Wang Sheng scratched his hair and added a lot of condiments, but it was still difficult to swallow.
In line with the principle of not wasting food, he took a bite of the hot soup in the pot, but he didn't expect the taste to be extraordinarily delicious. So Wang Sheng threw the stinky fish aside, took out a handful of noodles and sprinkled them in, and made a 'Laotan pickled pepper noodles', and ate it 'spitting'. This pot of noodle soup fresh noodles is soft and very delicious, he didn't eat two bites and sweated profusely, very comfortable.
Just as Wang Sheng was enjoying the delicious food, he suddenly felt a commotion in his magic space. It turned out that the little tiger cub had come out of its tiger meat incubator at some point, and was swaying around crookedly.
Wang Sheng was afraid that it would touch the deadly iron halberd, so he hurriedly moved Zhenyuan to take it out. This little tiger cub was born thin and small, with a body of fluffy black and shiny hair, which was very comfortable to hold on his hands.
Unexpectedly, this little guy really survived after living in the magic space for more than a month and sucking his mother's magic core dry. It was lying on Wang Sheng's palm at this moment, looking around curiously, sniffing vigorously with its nose and being very cute, as if it regarded Wang Sheng as its mother. The more Wang Sheng looked at it, the more he liked it, so he decided to give it the most majestic name, which was 'Little Black'.
Wang Sheng stroked the little tiger's forehead with his fingers and shouted softly: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei." "I didn't expect this little guy to follow his call, 'meow meow' all the time, as if he could really understand. It liked this feeling of stroking very much, rubbing it on Wang Sheng's fingers and biting it with its little milk teeth.
Wang Sheng was amused by it and laughed a few times, so he wanted to take out his fingers and stroke it a few more times, but who knew that he couldn't even pull it out after a few strokes. He felt his fingers slowly start to ache, and little by little blood oozed out. And Xiao Hei, who tasted the blood, also put away his cute expression, and let out a 'roar' scream from his throat.
At this time, the little tiger's two big watery eyes had turned blood-red, and it shook its head and tail and bit harder and harder, and even tore off a small piece of Wang Sheng's skin and swallowed it.
It's going to eat me, it's 'devouring the mother'!
Wang Sheng knows that there is an 'Australian crab spider' on the earth, which is a representative species of this habit, and after their young children emerge from the shell, they will reflexively eat the mother spider, which has become the material for many scary fairy tales.
But Wang Sheng really couldn't understand why this cute little tiger had such terrifying habits. In this moment's effort, Wang Sheng's hand has been bitten three or four times by it. Finally, after it bit open an artery, it squinted, lay down and sucked it like milk, and its long eyelashes fanned twice from time to time, showing a very satisfied look.
This contrasting picture looked very terrifying, Wang Sheng hurriedly picked it up and threw it on the ground, and then nervously pushed back a few steps.
After Xiao Hei fell to the ground, he stood up as soon as he turned over, he shook the dust on his body, tilted his head and 'meowed' a few times, as if asking Wang Sheng why he didn't let himself eat?
Wang Sheng saw the little tiger staggering and pounced on him, and hurriedly turned around and ran, where did the newborn Xiao Hei catch up with him, and he tripped over the stinky fish and fell to the ground after running a few steps, crying loudly.
Looking at it from a distance with a pitiful look, Wang Sheng felt a little unbearable, but he really didn't have the determination to sacrifice himself to feed the tiger, so he turned around and threw a lot of demonic beast jerky beside Xiao Hei, so he turned around and left with some reluctance.
Wang Sheng left his small tree cave and returned to 'Lotus Town' at the appointed time. He lived in a simple small board house for several more days, and finally waited for the belated 'wind chasing team' in the first continuous spring rain.
After everyone came to Wang Sheng's hut and sat down, they all lowered their heads and didn't know how to speak, and after a while, Zhang Dongsheng sighed and said, "Brother Wang Sheng, we can't handle this matter well, it's really ashamed. Our brothers searched for a long time before they found He Chen's uncle, Mr. Chu Yuan, in the Temple of Light in the 'Maple Forest City', but his old man's 'Divine Platform' was damaged and he had completely lost his mana. He told us that he had created such a vicious thing as 'Purple Lotus Piercing the Heart', which had harmed a lot of people, and that he really deserved to be punished by God. Now he has donated all his life savings, and only wants to serve the God of Light for the rest of his life and repent and atone for his sins. He also said that this thing is entangled in the heart and bones, and it can only be caught through the flesh by using a magic weapon with the power of the realm such as the 'Phantom Mirage Bead'. ”
Seeing Wang Sheng's puzzled expression, Zhang Dongsheng continued without waiting for him to ask: "The 'Phantom Mirage' is the pearl formed by the 'Deep Sea Mirage', but this thing has always been controlled by the 'Donghaikou' Chen family, and it will only be auctioned every two years, and it is said that each 'mirage' can be worth more than a thousand magic crystals, which is really not something that we ordinary people can reach." ”
Seeing Wang Sheng's depressed expression, He Chen on the side hurriedly said: "My senior uncle also said that if you can destroy the magic primer of the 'Purple Lotus Piercing Heart' and prevent the seeds from germinating, you can bring people to him. My uncle can help you apply for the best Divine Light Room in 'Maple Grove City'. Then ask an archbishop to take action, open his chest and heart in the divine light room, and then use the power of divine light to heal the wound, and he can also have five or six points of certainty to take out this monster. ”
Wang Sheng only felt helpless when he heard this, not to mention the treasure of a thousand magic crystals, he couldn't afford to buy it at all. And what they said about 'Purple Lotus Piercing Heart' and this thing on their own body are not the same!
Uncle He Chen's 'Purple Lotus Piercing Heart' would not sprout without prompting, but the monster in his body had turned into a vine four years earlier, and it was still just a phantom in the flesh and blood, and when it left the flesh, it became a hard entity, which was much more powerful than what they described.
Wang Sheng didn't believe in the surgical technology of this world, so he couldn't go to Chu Yuan for surgery. The mercenaries of the 'Wind Chasing Squad' have done their best, and although they have not been able to solve the problem, they have finally given themselves a goal to work towards.
After sending off the embarrassed crowd, he thought about it alone for a few days, and decided to try his luck at the Chen family in the 'Donghaikou', in case he could drop a pie from the sky and pick up a 'phantom mirage' from the road.
It just so happened that the handsome swan guy was also doing a mission near 'Lotus Town' these days, and he heard that Wang Sheng was about to travel far away. He took out a magic bag and asked Wang Sheng to help bring it to the 'East Sea Mouth' and give it to a tiger orc named Bao Lienon.
After Wang Sheng left the 'Lotus Town', he took a cargo ship and drifted on the 'Luoshui River' for two months, and finally came to this bustling coastal city.
The 'East Sea Mouth' was built at the place where the 'Luoshui River' entered the sea, and the various buildings on both sides of the bank dazzled Wang Sheng's eyes. Perhaps because the population is too dense, the aura here is much sparser than in other places, and the inhabitants here must be making slow progress in cultivating in an ordinary way.
At the garrison officers and soldiers on the shore, he reported the name of Bauerlennon, and exchanged a gold coin for a short-term residence identity plate, and then followed the crowd around him to the city.
The buildings here are very luxurious, and both humans and orcs on the streets are in a hurry, looking full of ambition, which reminds Wang Sheng of the hard work of those office workers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in his previous life.
Only a few of the Sea Tribesmen, who had cheeks behind their ears and a cloud of water vapor around their bodies, seemed to be very wealthy, and they sat in the wine shops on the street and pointed leisurely, and would let out a few muffled mockers from time to time.
Wang Sheng walked for nearly an hour in this huge city, and according to the address on the envelope, he came to a relatively quiet small street. Bao Erlenong opened a small shop here, mainly selling moisturizing utensils necessary for the sea tribe to go ashore.
The tiger-faced orc, with yellow hair, who looked to be a little older, took Wang Sheng to his house when he saw the magic bag brought by the handsome swan man.
He took out a letter from his magic pocket and looked at it a few times, and then looked at Wang Sheng repeatedly for a long time before asking: "You are here to participate in the 'Phantom Mirage' auction? I can help you introduce, the entrance fee requires a hundred gold coins, can you bring so much change?" I'll help you put it on first." ”
Hearing Old Bauer's question, Wang Sheng's face turned red, and when he came out of 'Lotus Town', there were only about two dozen gold coins left on his body. He came here with the idea of beating stuffy sticks, extorting bamboo sticks, and abducting people, and wanted to get rid of the big trouble on his ass at all costs.
Who knew that the price here was so expensive, and he couldn't even count the change in people's mouths, and he couldn't even pay the entrance fee.
Old Bauer saw that Wang Sheng didn't answer, smiled again and said: "The cost in this city is not small, if you don't bring so much change, I can help you change some, the magic crystals of the thunder system and the light system have risen a lot recently, if you have these two kinds of crystals, you can exchange a few hundred gold coins more than usual, enough for you to spend a year and a half." ”
The more Wang Sheng listened, the more surprised he became, more than 10,000 gold coins could only live for a year and a half, so wouldn't his 20 or so gold coins not be able to resist even two or three days? It seems that he must find a job in these few days, otherwise he will have to gnaw on the dried steamed buns in the space.
Thinking of this, Wang Sheng said helplessly to the tiger-faced orc: "Uncle Bauer, I just want to see the appearance of the 'Phantom Mirage', I don't have so much money to bid, can you tell me where the mercenary mission is here? I'll go and see if there are any tasks that can be done, so that I can scrape together the money and meet at the auction." ”
Bao Erlennon stared at Wang Sheng for a while, and said to him in a deep voice: "In this case, I have a mission here, which needs a human wind mage to perform, and after the task is completed, your reward should be enough to shoot a 'Phantom Mirage'." ”
