Chapter 44: The Promise Appears
I listened closely, and the footsteps sounded rushed, staggering, and I could almost hear the other man's gasps. The man seemed to be a frightened little beast, and he snorted several times frequently, stepping on several piles of dead branches in succession, making a crisp sound of rattling.
"Someone!" The talented and beautiful woman and Luo Yan stared vigilantly ahead, and shouted in unison:
"Weapon: Flame Extinguishing!"
"Weapon: Oni Sacrifice!"
Whoosh, two weapons appeared out of thin air. I saw that the talented and beautiful woman was holding a lilac big knife in her hand, and Luo Yan was holding a dark purple iron staff, and the two of them took a step forward without hesitation, reliably blocking in front of us.
Chun Tianya and Monster glanced at each other, clenched their fists nervously, and stood in front of me and Nameless without fear of death. Nameless and I looked at each other, unconsciously leaning closer and staring ahead.
A figure rushed from near and far. He ran crookedly, looking like he was about to fall, but he managed to hold his balance while he saw the six of us. The dead eyes burst out with sparks of expectation, and then he was eclipsed. He slowed down until he stopped, and stood not far from us, but saw him suddenly draw a long stick from behind him, and confront us silently.
I looked closely, and saw that the man was twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he was handsome, with big curved eyebrows and a healthy wheat complexion, and a silver earring in his left ear. His body was very strong, but he looked uneasy and embarrassed. I could see that his clothes and pants were torn in several places, and that a pair of straw sandals was stained with mud.
He didn't talk nonsense, he just shouted "get out", waved his long stick, and rushed towards the falling geese.
"Look for death!" Luo Yan sneered and held up the ghost sacrifice, "Chaotic soul!" ”
The man's feet slowed uncontrollably and turned into pacing back and forth. He was frightened, his face turned white, and then he pursed his lips and made an expression of death.
I was so surprised, my heart was relieved: this guy can't beat us!
"Don't fight!" Seeing that the talented and beautiful woman was reluctant and wanted to help Luo Yan, I hurriedly stopped him.
The talented and beautiful woman stepped back slightly, glanced at me quickly, but obediently did not move. Luo Yan glared at me dissatisfied, but didn't ask me face-to-face why I was soft. The statute of limitations for the "Troubled Soul" had passed, and the man was back to normal, and he looked at me stupidly, before he consciously took a few steps back.
We confronted him silently. He does not move, and we do not move; We don't move, and he doesn't move.
After a long time, he blinked his eyes and wondered, "Why didn't you kill him?" ”
The talented and beautiful woman and Luo Yan glanced at each other, put away their weapons tacitly, and stared at him coldly.
"You want the six of us to besiege one of you?" Realizing that he had no ill will but was acting out of self-preservation, I cleared my throat and smiled at him - with the help of my teammates, I was not afraid of him at all! Besides, I also saw the situation just now, he is not the opponent of Luo Yan and Caizi at all!
"Self, nature is not!" He stammered.
Nameless said: "If you don't attack us, we won't attack you." ”
When the man heard this, his tense face slackened slightly. He blinked his eyes and said in surprise, "Didn't coax me? ”
"Of course not!" Luo Yan was extremely displeased, "You don't believe it? It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, anyway, you're alone, can you beat the six of us? Besides, if I really want to do something to you, can you still stand and talk to us? ”
The man's face turned red. Soon, he was embarrassed, and his complexion returned to normal. We watched silently as he threw the long stick aside, put on a look of grievance, and said pitifully, "Since you will not hurt me, can you let me go on a mission with you?" ”
He has a lot of eyesight, and instead of looking at the talented man and the falling goose, he begs me with his eyes intently.
- What? I froze, not expecting him to change so quickly, one moment he was hostile to us, the next second he was like a wounded child! Somehow, my heart softened, I felt like I was stumbling over him, and I really didn't know what to say. Take a look around: the talented and beautiful woman raises her eyebrows; Falling geese and suspicious foxes; Nameless's eyes widened, and the pure world was full of interest; Blame a big mouth.
The talented and beautiful woman was the first to react, he turned his head and asked me: "There are new people who want to join the group, do you want to?" ”
- Newcomer? My mind was so muddy that I couldn't even think about it. My eyes fell on the man's chest, and fortunately he had four other medals that allowed me to grasp his details—Personal Medal: Promise (rank: thirty-five); Family Medals: None; Gang Medals: None; Team Medal: None.
- He's the Netherworld? No wonder......
No wonder he was afraid of heartache and was very vigilant, it turned out that he was bullied like Nameless?
Unexpectedly, the promise shattered my cognition: "I use a nickname, I am a martial saint!" ”
"You also use nicknames?" I shattered my sympathy, "You don't have a family, a gang, and a team!" ”
Promise lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "I haven't joined yet!" I'm a 'leveling' martial arts player, and I'm here to increase the level of my personal medal! ”
"Leveling?" I glanced at him incredulously, "You said you've been 'leveling'?" Enhance your strengths? ”
The promise was confused: "Yes! Is there something wrong? ”
- Definitely not! Didn't you realize that this forest is supposed to move? I thought to myself, but shook my head.
The five teammates on the team secretly exchanged glances with a look called "disbelief" in their eyes.
Promise kept staring at me. He said bluntly: "You are the head of the regiment, right?" ”
"Yes, I'm the head of the regiment." I let out a soft sigh, embarrassed that my rating was nine.
He didn't underestimate me, but asked cautiously, "Are you willing to let me join your team?" ”
"Why did you join my team? Haven't you been alone all the time? I was curious, "Our team is going to do advanced tasks - you don't have any related tasks......"
"Why don't I give you a 'helper' for free?" Promise rubbed his eyebrows, withdrew his stick, and said slowly, "It's a long story: I used to train in this forest, but half an hour ago, several teams quietly appeared, and they attacked me as soon as they saw me. If it hadn't been for a strange piece of music that saved me, I wouldn't have been able to escape! At that time, I asked them why they attacked me, and they replied that I was a ghost, and I didn't have a family, a gang, or a team! This kind of scenario is usually to see one and attack the other, and it is said that the Netherworld will bring bad luck and must be attacked once - it's ridiculous, don't they have brains! I'm not the Nether! I didn't bring bad luck to others! With indignation on his face, a few green tendons burst out on his forehead, and his hands clenched into fists.
"Next time I meet them, I won't be polite to them!" He shook his fist viciously, "So I decided to pick a pleasing team to 'get revenge'!" Don't fool me, I know you've come to this forest to hunt for strange beasts—I don't want anything else, but when I meet an enemy, you'll help me and I'll be done!" ”
I shrank my head, glad I wasn't his enemy, otherwise I would have been out of luck! I'm so lucky that I didn't have a family, a gang, or a team, so I wasn't bullied!
"Would you like me to join?" The solemn voice of the promise echoed in my ears.
I looked at the members of the team, and they all looked back at me silently, seeing that the situation was in my own hands.
"I should be able to ......" I hesitated, unable to reply, and really couldn't make up my mind.
His eyes rolled, but he barely jumped up on the spot, but he opened his mouth and cheered: "It's so good! You promised! ”
- Hey! I said I was officially willing!
- Forget it, look at his happy face...... Join and join!
I blushed slightly, not daring to explain to him that my team was not permanent, for fear of hitting him.
"So, let me join your team! Just put me on your team! He looked at me with sparkling eyes and pinched the silver earring in his left ear—it was his communicator, the size of his thumb!
Nameless whispered, "The team is full, there are already six people." ”
"Huh? No way! Promise looked at me anxiously, "What then?" ”
"yes—what to do?" I turned my head to look at Nameless.
Nameless coughed and soothed, "Don't worry—look at me!" First he raised his wrist and tapped the fuchsia bracelet with his hand, and then I heard the prompt from his plum blossom watch:
Nameless quits the team!
My eyes widened in horror, and before I could ask a question, I heard Nameless whisper, "Promise, add a friend!" ”
After that, my communicator prompted:
The nameless party requests to join your team!
At the same time, three options emerge on the right side of the plum watch: agree, reject and cancel.
Glancing at Nameless, I suspiciously chose "Agree".
As a result, we added a Martial Saint to our team, turning it into a time-sensitive team of seven people.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Nameless with disgust, Nameless touched his head and smirked, "Do you think I'm going to leave you?" I'm just 'out of the queue for a while'! Without your consent, I won't leave easily! ”
"Really? I don't believe it, you're clearly coaxing me! I pretended to be angry, but I snickered softly in my heart, and I was touched by the slightest emotion in my heart - but I was really taken aback by him just now!
"I promise!" Nameless said seriously, "I swear never to leave!" ”
"Good! It's decided: you won't leave without my permission, no matter what! While I made an understatement with him, I couldn't help but flip through the team column and glance at it, only to see that it read:
Team: Pride (Level: 15)
Captain (Team Leader): Kobashi Shizumizu (Level: Level 9)
Elder: Talented and Beautiful Woman (Level: Level 38)
Elder: Falling Goose (Level: Level 29)
Elder: Pure World End (Level: Level 25)
Member: Rebel One (Level: Eleven)
Deputy Captain (Team 2 Captain): Nameless (Level: Level 15)
Member: Promise (Rank: Thirty-Five)
——A thirty-eight-level talent, a twenty-nine-level Luoyan, a twenty-five-level Tianya, and a thirty-five-level promise...... They are all the main combat force! I glared at the ranks, turned my face away, and suddenly felt embarrassed: after all, I am only level nine......
On the way, when Promise asked me why it was called "Xiaoqiao" instead of "Xiaoqiao still water", the talented beauty and Luo Yan smiled and told me that it was a nickname. Listening to the various questions and answers in the group, I couldn't help but smile.
Promise learned that I was a sword immortal, and I learned from Promise's mouth that there was no whereabouts of the fire cloud chicken ahead.
However, we still move forward.
