Fan Yuntian sat on the grass and looked into the distance with his hands on his brow, and on the horizon where the sky intersected, the white deer was running fast with An Ran, followed by a group of howling four-eared wolves.

"Do you know what they call it?" Fan Yuntian bumped the bearded man next to him with his elbow.

"What's it called?" Li Dabao used a hard grass root to pry the meat residue between his teeth and asked vaguely.

"They call this a monster," Fan Yuntian said proudly, "Brother An Ran told me that when he used to play games, he sat in front of a mirror and kept shaking the things in his hand, and the demons and monsters in those mirrors followed his shadow, and after a while, those demons and monsters were all dead!" They call this an 'online game', that mirror a 'computer', and the thing in his hand a 'mouse', right? Never heard of it, right? ”

"Oh!" The bearded man replied perfunctorily and spit out the meat scrap between his teeth.

Fan Yuntian was a little dumbfounded, and felt that this data should open his mouth wide to ask him what Fan someone is about 'online games' and 'computers', and this data called Li Dabao is too cold to show this kind of performance. But he didn't give up and continued: "Hey! Do you know what they call themselves? ”

Li Dabao didn't bother to pick up the topic this time, just looked at the wolves that were getting closer and closer.

"They call themselves gamers," Fan Yuntian had to ask himself, "aren't you interested in the world of adventurers?" Fan Yuntian couldn't help but mutter.

"Lao Tzu's own world is still too busy, how can he have any leisure to care about other people's worlds? And let me tell you, boys, no matter what they call themselves or how they see the world, it's not a game for us – get ready to go! ”

As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, he drew his knife and swooped down on the wolves, Fan Yuntian shrugged his shoulders and followed closely with a dagger in both hands, and the NPC boy's body gradually faded and finally disappeared.

The four-eared wolf is the more ferocious wild monster on this plain, according to the level, the ordinary four-eared wolf is about 65 to 67, the head wolf who commands the wolf pack is considered a commanding small boss will use the 'wolf howl' to 'tear' They have their own IQ and territory, will attack lone pedestrians who break into the territory, poach the herdsmen's cattle, sheep and horses in the wild, but will never go to the herdsmen's tents to grab food with great fanfare, let alone be stupid enough to run to provoke that' In fact, these brutes will flee when they see a large number of soldiers. They are as cunning and deadly as the Assassins of the Plains.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, neither the herders or the players here will easily step out of their territory. Wolves and humans maintain a delicate ecological balance, you occasionally steal a sheep from me and kill me, I accidentally slaughter you and a wolf skins you, neither side can drive the other to extermination.

But the three people in front of them are deliberately here to find fault, they don't go around the mountains and rivers and want to break into the territory of the four-eared wolf, then it's no wonder that these beasts will attack them in groups.

The wolves kept chasing the white deer, trying to use their sharp wolf teeth to drive into the hooves of the little white deer, but the little white was like a little girl (she was originally a little girl) frolicking on the grass, she ran happily and smartly from time to time to make a deer roar, the vicious wolves seemed to be amused by her like walking dogs, they couldn't even hurt a single hair of the little white.

An Ran jumped from the back of the deer, and the gray-robed young man flew in the air like an eagle, holding the staff in both hands and slashing at the head of a four-eared wolf with his falling body.

"It's a good force to split Tong Wangshan," the bearded man cut off the legs of three four-eared wolves with a knife, and said sarcastically: "The action is very chic, but the strength is a little smaller." ”

With the sound of brushing, there were several wolves with bamboo sticks inserted in their buttocks, thighs, abdomen, and necks, Fan Yuntian appeared about ten meters to the left of An Ran, and the dagger in his left hand flicked, and there was a 'stabbing back' at the wolf's backbone, and then his body slidied, and the dagger in his right hand cut the wolf's throat and came with a 'kiss throat' Two super high damage values burst out, and the four-eared wolf fell to the ground in response.

"That's what a assassin should look like," Li Dabao exclaimed as he slashed the four-eared wolf, "The timing is just right, unlike some people who have knives and don't have to knock them with a broken bamboo stick." ”

"Do what you have to do," Fan Yuntian shouted as he dodged the bite of the wolves, "don't cut these beasts beyond recognition, not even a single intact wolf skin." ”

An Ran seems to have fallen into a state of selflessness, he didn't use any skills (in fact, so far his active skills are only three) At this moment, the tattered robe youth is just floating around in the wolves like a leaf, those bites, snaps, and sharp teeth and claws are in the air again and again in his flashing and moving, the last day or two has been accompanied by non-stop killing monsters, An Ran has found that his skills are more agile, he seems to be able to predict in advance that part of the wolf claw will swing towards him, and then make a dodge or block in advance, At some point, there will be a ray of light in the eyes of his game character, and at this time, An Ran's movements seem to be much slower when he looks at the wolves, just like a cat looks at people. This made the young people more handy, and used these fierce brutes as sparring partners to improve their strength in battle.

System Prompt: Skill 'Demon Cat's Eye' increases proficiency by 20%

How did An Ran not know about this new skill? The name of the skill is still taken by him! The so-called 'Demon Cat's Eye' is a name that the young man came up with after watching a movie. This is the reason why his game character 'Enron' will have a light in his eyes, this passive skill is not controlled by An Ran, when a certain action is too fast to make An Ran look more difficult, this skill will be triggered, after the light flashes, the opponent's movement becomes slow down until he can see clearly, and then with the disappearance of the fast action, this passive skill will also disappear.

But it's one thing to be able to see the opponent's shot, it's another thing to be able to make the brain react quickly and dominate the body to make a response, the eyes can't keep up with the head, you can't react quickly, the head can't keep up with the body, you can make a quick response to give instructions to the body, but the body function can't meet the requirements, this is the so-called 'heart is more than enough but not enough', so An Ran wants to let these wolves, who are known for their agility, be their own sparring partners, and constantly improve their reactions and body flexibility in battle.

With An Ran picking up the last four-eared wolf standing with a cane, the battle ended this time, and the grass was full of more than 20 wolf corpses, and the blood-stained grass mustard was red all over the place.

Then the three of them began to clean the battlefield at the same time, An Ran took out the skinning knife he had bought from a certain town from his personal package and cut the wolf skin, while Li Dabao used his simple knife to cut the wolf's belly and remove the internal organs, cut off the wolf meat piece by piece and put it on the ground to wait for An Ran to pick it up. Fan Yuntian is a little picker, just bent down on the grass to pick up some equipment and coins burst out of the four-eared wolf, this is one of the NPC boy's favorite things to do after leaving the minions, he has the right to pick up loot and take charge of things!

"I'll ask you a question," Li Dabao said as he worked, "you adventurers didn't bring any packages, where did you put so many things?" And how the fuck can you hold that much alcohol in that broken gourd? ”

"Lao Tzu also asks you a question, how can these beasts fucking spit out clothes, swords, and coins when they are alive? Could it be that they swallowed their clothes and swords when they devoured humans? An Ran asked rhetorically.

"You ask Lao Tzu, how does Lao Tzu know?" The bearded man said angrily, "This world is so weird, you don't accept the gods." ”

"This is incredible," An Ran shrugged, "Your kind of question is very philosophical and Lao Tzu can't answer, sometimes think less about this kind of stupid question, he will blow your head off." ”

"I heard that the gods will wear a magic weapon called 'Linglong Zhai', some of which are like rings, some like bracers, and some are like belts, which can hold things like mountains.

"It's a pity that Lao Tzu can't fit so many things down the mountain," An Ran threw the wolf meat and wolf skin into his personal package, "Let me explain it like this!" Even if it's a package on the back of our adventurers, it can replace the ordinary backpack and pack some things, but it doesn't have as many as the so-called immortals' Linglong Zhai, this package seems to be indeed a spell but it can't be seen or touched, just use your finger to a little void It appears, and then put the thing out. ”

"Really? Why can't I see it? Li Dabao asked.

"You can't see what has been spelled." An Ran doesn't want to entangle with these NPCs on this issue, a Fan Yuntian has already made his head big, and he still needs to add a Li Dabao.

"So where is it sold?" The bearded man rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "When the time comes, I'll go get one too." ”

At this time, Fan Yuntian had already finished picking up the things on the ground, and the NPC kid shook his pointed ears.

"Buy me one when the time comes! Good Brother Enron. ”

"Okay!" An Ran could only reply like this: "When the time comes, I will meet that kind of fucking 'Linglong Zhai' Lao Tzu will give you two one by one." ”

They were quite satisfied with this promise, so they didn't continue to ask, so the three of them packed up their things and began to hurry again, even if it was a turn of mountains and rivers, it was not far from the 'Beizi Camp'.

Suddenly, a row of geese flew in the southern sky, and when they saw the three people and a deer on foot on the ground, they no longer left, but kept circling in the air, and the geese began to scream, and the sound alarmed the sky, which made the bearded man's brows furrow tighter and tighter.

"After the 'Beizi Camp' this time, you need to go west," Li Dabao pointed to the vast plains in the west and said, "In this way, you can go to the Mobei battlefield where they fought at the beginning, and if you blindly go north, you will enter a big Gobi and finally the desert of Liao, as for what is on the other side of the desert?" Lao Tzu didn't know that Lao Tzu hadn't been there. ”

"You guys?" An Ran heard his voice, "Aren't you going with you?" ”

"No!" The man looked up at the geese hovering in the sky, "Dabao has work to do, I am really happy to know the two brothers An Ran and Fan Yuntian and walk a little way together, I hope you can find the bones of Huang Haihao as soon as possible, our hero Hao Erlang should return to his hometown." ”

This is the answer given by Li Dabao two days ago when An Ran asked An Ran why he went to the Northern Desert, and the bearded man at that time fell into deep thought for a while.

"Where the are you going?" Fan Yuntian was a little reluctant, "Isn't it good to go to Mobei together?" I'll tell you that the girls on the prairie are all bee-waisted duck buttocks, and they are twisted when they walk, and they don't wear much, and if you don't go to see it, you'll lose a lot. ”

"Don't be fooled by those nonsense novels," the bearded man gently put the knife into the scabbard, "The women on the grassland are all brave and good at riding and shooting, where is there any bee waist and duck buttocks?" Your kid may have been shot before his eyes even caught sight of someone. ”

"Take care on the road," An Ran said with a smile, "Don't go back to that Eagle's Beak Cliff, that place is not where you should Li Dabao." ”

"Give me a drink."

An Ran handed the gourd to the bearded man, and he raised his head and gulped down, until An Ran wondered if he was determined to drink the 'red in the snow' in the gourd, and he wiped his bearded mouth with his big rough hand.

"You adventurer's wine can't be drunk in vain," Li Dabao took out two palm-sized iron plates with a rebuke written on them from his arms and handed them to An Ran and Fan Yuntian, "This is Lao Tzu from the military camp, and it will be somewhat useful for your trip to the Northern Desert this time, don't lose it." ”

After the two took the iron card, the bearded man turned around and left.

An Ran rubbed the iron plaque made of black iron with the word rebuke written on it with the palm of his hand, looked at his gradually distant figure and shouted, "Dabao, we will meet again, right?" ”

The man turned his back to them and waved his hand in a dashing manner: "Dabao! See you every day. ”

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his figure southward for a long time, leaving only a strand of false beard that he had ripped from his face.

******

The sky was full of stars, and under the sky were large white tents, which in the cold moonlight looked like big, round buns on a plate. At this time, the herdsmen were already driving the sheep back to their station, and An Ran and Fan Yuntian were in the middle of a group of herdsmen.

The nomads have no fixed residence, and they can be found wherever the water and grass are abundant, and their home is probably to set up tents on the plain at any time.

While drinking goat's milk and spirits in the tent, An Ran learned from the big-nosed and blue-eyed herdsmen that in fact, they, the herdsmen from the north, were happier in this season, and the generals of the three-character battalion would protect their safety and not look at the northern nomads as strangers. Every ten years, a cavalry team would patrol the plains, driving away the jackals on the plains, buying large numbers of cattle and sheep, and maintaining the law and order of the herdsmen.

"The Ivan family is the luckiest of our herdsmen!" The old man with a white hat and a beard sighed: "I don't know how they passed through the northern city wall, anyway, they went to the south and never came back, and they don't have to endure the cold winter here." ”

"Is it cold in the winter? Uncle Luo Sang. An Ran asked.

"Cold! It's cold! The old man shuddered, "The grass is frozen to death, so we have to drive the cattle and sheep with our people to the western steppe from autumn, where there are still withered yellow weeds for the sheep to eat, but that is the border of the Rohan Kingdom, and those barbarians in the west do not treat us like you Jinguo, although they will not rob us, but they will buy and sell and buy cattle from us at a low price." ”

What can An Ran say? Encourage them to climb over the northern city wall and go to live in Jinguo? Tell them that Jian'an City is very prosperous, and that Zhongshan County is actually the land of fish and rice? This is not realistic, they are just nomads in the north, and they can't really become the subjects of the Jin Kingdom, unless the Jin Kingdom sends troops to defeat the Rohan State and encompasses the entire land of the Eastern Pilgrimage State, then these people, including the people of the Luo Khan State, can become the people of the Jin Kingdom, An Ran suddenly understands why the emperor of the Jin Kingdom wants to go west to conquer the Rohan Kingdom.

"Taking the common people of the world as your own responsibility, is this the real reason why you want to fight?" He thought as he drank the iron cup of goat's milk, "If that's the case, I'd be a good emperor to admire." ”

It's just that An Ran didn't know the specific details in this Huaxia game, and Emperor Jinhui actually had a deeper intention in sending troops to attack the Luohan Kingdom.

"Do you think there will be a war here? Or do you want to go to war? An Ran asked suddenly.

"Who wants to go to war, young man?" The old man smiled and shook his head, "We have seen the war in the west, the blood is flowing like a river and the bones are piled up, and the soldiers and horses are dead in order to get the peace now, and we have such a place to live under the protection of the generalissimo, I hope there will be no war here for a hundred years." ”

"He is right," An Ran thought, "as an ordinary person, who wants to fight in this world or in their own world?" But is it up to the common people to decide whether to fight or not? No. ”

"Shall we go into town tomorrow?" Fan Yuntian, who ate the roast leg of lamb and had a mouth full of oil, asked.

"Oh! Can't go! Can't go! The old man waved his hand again and again, "Although General Jin in the city loves the people, he will never allow civilians to enter the city, do you know what the name of the city to the north of us is?" The so-called battalion of the 'Beizi Battalion' is that only the soldiers are stationed in the city, and if the little brother wants to go to the city, I am afraid that he will be drawn out by the soldiers with a whip. ”

"Huh! Is Lao Tzu afraid of those bastards? Fan Yuntian said.

"Grandpa leave him alone," said a fat boy in a wide yellow cloth coat dissatisfied: "These adventurers don't know what to do, let them go to the city and be beaten and run back, the adventurer called 'Bang Bang Baby' last time was not like that, now stay in Aunt Joaquin's tent to show her sheep, and don't want to go anywhere." ”

Fan Yuntian Ga'er laughed, and An Ran immediately glared at the NPC kid fiercely and threatened: "You dare to say it? Lao Tzu knows what you're thinking. ”

So Fan Yuntian's words that had already reached his mouth were directly pressed back to his stomach by his brother An Ran, and this little bastard was very uncomfortable.

"It's rude!" The old man said apologetically: "My grandson is still young and doesn't know how important it is, and friends from outside should forgive me a lot, but I can't go to that city, if you need to exchange and buy and sell supplies, in a few days the soldiers in the city will drag big boxes here, there is everything in it, clothes, wine, wooden combs, basins, and even rice, and there will often be merchants passing by on the road, and you can exchange things from them." ”

This An Ran knew that when he returned to the avenue in the afternoon, he saw a lot of merchants driving carriages and carrying packages shouting loudly, and there were many players and NPCs buying and selling things and exchanging items with them. It's just that there are never any swords, bows, or armor in their packages, presumably to prevent them from falling into the hands of the herdsmen!

But those monsters in the wild can also explode weapons and armor and other things! How did the Jin family manage to keep the herdsmen from having weapons? For this kind of thing, An Ran has asked the herdsmen, and they said that the generalissimo must have an iron law: 'The herdsmen cannot hide and carry weapons privately, and those who violate the order will be killed', so whether the herdsmen kill the wild monsters or find weapons, they will take the initiative to hand them in when the soldiers are patrolling, otherwise if they search out, the whole family, including the neighbors, will suffer.

A meal was spent in idle chatting like this, and from the conversation, An Ran knew that these northern nomads were actually still the objects of being guarded against by the Northern Desert Army, which could be regarded as the more obscure enslavement of the nomads by the three major families! Some players who come here will help the herders take care of their cattle and sheep, drive away and hunt wild monsters, and then ask the herders for payment, which is the main way for players to obtain NPC quests in the area.

An Ran didn't taste any goat's milk and mutton at all, and his game character 'An Ran' could still stand starvation, mainly so that Fan Yuntian could eat a good meal and sleep well, so An Ran paid a fee to the herdsmen, and he needed to let his game character and Fan Yuntian spend the night in the tent, and then he could go offline and roll on the bed with peace of mind.

When An Ran controlled the game character to walk to another tent used to sleep, Fan Yuntian, who was dragging behind, said: "Brother An Ran, do you want us to secretly go and see how that 'Bangbang Baby' watched the sheep with Aunt Joaquin in the tent?" ”

"What the are you okay with?" An Ran squinted at him and said with a serious education: "You are still a child, don't think about the beds of adults all day long, it is not good for your physical and mental growth." ”

"Lao Tzu is not interested in that again," Fan Yuntian shrugged, "I just think that if they are watching the sheep, we will definitely scare their souls out if we cough...... Hahahaha! He laughed out loud as he spoke.

"Don't mess with sleep!" An Ran slapped Fan Yuntian on the shoulder and pulled him towards the tent.
