Chapter 6: Elf Lingxi
"How did you come to the main city?" Xing Shen looked at the petite figure standing alone in front of the bustling crowd, and his mood suddenly relaxed.
"There are some troubles that need to be dealt with, speaking of which, this is my first time in the main city, hey, it's a pity that the mood is not beautiful at all, and it was all messed up by those bad guys."
"Bad guys?" "Well, don't talk about them. ...... you and your friends together? Xiaomi said and leaned over to look behind Xingshen.
"Well, we've just finished our job transfer. That kid is learning skills from his mentor."
"Oh, the great god is alone now. What was that item used for? β
"The name of the item is Elven's Distress Letter, and my guess is that it's a triggered side quest, Elven."
"Oh, how do you trigger that?"
"You right-click to use the prop ......"
Teleporting......
"Ding, you have entered the mission map: The Escape of the Elven Handmaidens - Lingxi is the handmaiden of the Elven Princess, she escaped from the territory of the undead, but she is still facing this pursuit, please find Lingxi and help her get out of danger."
β¦β¦
"...... "You should also prepare supplies, or call a few more teammates to come together~ Xing Shen complained in his heart.
"Ahh Xiaomi was completely stunned by the view in front of her.
The map they were teleported to was called Passion Forest. The sky is covered by towering trees, and the sunlight shines through the cracks, continuing to spread its light into the dwarf bushes. The green grass and trees are trimmed with gold. The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants.
"It's so beautiful here." Xiaoyao millet happily jumped several times and climbed up a thick horizontal branch. Turn on the Eagle Eye and scout the distance.
"Well, it looks like the realm of the elves." Xing Shen saw Xiaoyaoxiao's light figure, and saw that she went to a high place to scout the surroundings as soon as possible, and sighed in his heart for the growth of the little rookie.
"Emerald green on three sides, only the north side is cloudy. We may need to go north to meet the quest NPCs. β
"Hmm, is this mission time-limited?" Xingshen found a comfortable position for a long time - he lay down with his back against the tree.
Xiaoyao Xiaomi glanced at Xingshen, "The mission is not limited, you need to rest, right?" β
βzzzzβ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Xiaomi's safety of Xingshen, although bored but did not dare to go too far, at the beginning was still on the horizontal branches, a pair of calves folded to look at the scenery. Later, I was tired. She learned from the appearance of Xingshen that she had seen before, and the cat bent her waist to look for it on the ground, and uprooted it when she encountered something that felt like herbs, and the system prompted "Because you don't have the skills to collect herbs or the level of the skills to collect herbs is too low, the hemostatic grass has been damaged, and you get the broken ......" Xiaomi was stunned.
Later, there was really nothing to dig up, and Millet also learned from Xingshen to lean against the edge of the tree, and she felt that the distance with Xingshen was too close and ambiguous, so she moved away.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise, and Millet stepped forward, jumped up, pulled out the dagger, and relaxed when he saw that it was a deer. The deer was not afraid of the living. walked towards Xiaomi, and there seemed to be pleading in his eyes.
The fawn walked a few steps in the other direction, and then turned back and "begged" Xiaomi, several times. A voice sounded: "Let's go, the quest NPC can't wait, send a deer to urge us." β
Xiaomi was startled by the sudden sound beside her, but when she turned around, Xingshen had woken up and was ready to go.
"Are you awake?"
"Well, I'm sorry, I just accidentally fell asleep."
"A couple of pigeons have just come to you."
"Well, it's the wind like a song, it's nothing important."
"Let's go, then?" Xiaomi inserts the dagger back into his waist.
βGO!β
The fawn leading the way jumped and leaped forward zigzag. Millet also walked through the jungle, and only Xingshen followed unhurriedly. Xingshen felt that Xiaomi was like a monkey and couldn't help but be happy. Xiaomi realized this, and turned her head to glare at Xingshen. Xingshen only thinks that her puffed up appearance is also cute.
After about ten minutes of walking, the vegetation in the field of vision gradually showed signs of decay.
"Xingshen, do you feel too quiet?" Millet asked mysteriously.
"Well, the previous bird calls and insect chirpings are all gone. We may be approaching the realm of the undead. β
Sure enough, further on, the trees were more depleted, and even the soil was contaminated. Patches are mottled with darkness.
Xiaoyao Xiaomi is no longer as cheerful as before, not only has her steps stabilized, but even her expression is no longer as relaxed as just now, and she looks around vigilantly. even intentionally or unintentionally shortened the distance with Xingshen. Xingshen knew that she was frightened by the scenery around her.
"Don't worry, the difficulty of this task should be low."
"Really? Why? β
"Because this is a reward mission, it is a compensation reward for killing the poison bee boss before. It's likely just going through the motions. β
"Even though you say so, it's hard for me to relax in such an eerie scene."
The fawn leading the way in front of him suddenly stopped. In front of it was a tree as thick as two people hugging each other. Suddenly, the tree opened its eyes.
"Young man, please explain your intentions."
Xingshen and Xiaomi were both shocked, and Xingshen took a step forward: "We went deep into this place to help an elf. β
"Go back. This is already the territory of the undead, you are too weak, self-preservation is still a problem, how can you help others? β
"Although there are many shadows, I am not afraid of danger!" Xing Shen put his right hand on his chest and performed a standard knightly salute.
The big tree suddenly cracked, the gap became bigger and bigger, and in a ray of light, out of the trunk of the big tree came a beautiful elven patriarch with long legs dressed in green and pointed ears.
"Hee-hee, Lingxi has been waiting for you for a long time. I've been trapped in a big tree for two months now. β
"You're Lingxi?" Xiaomi stepped forward excitedly, but found that Lingxi was much taller than her, she gestured with her hand to reach Lingxi's chin, "The fawn was sent by you?" β
"yes." Lingxi patted the fawn gently, and the fawn jumped along the road from which she came.
Millet curiously went to the side of just closing the gap, like a very ordinary uncle, touching and looking. "What happened just now, and an old man asked?"
Xingshen interjected, "The elves are good at communicating with animals and plants, and they must have a lot of magical magic. The old man's voice just now may have been disguised by Lingxi. β
"Your knight is learned and wise." Lingxi had clearly misunderstood something.
"Huh?" Xiaoyao Xiaomi inexplicably felt that her face was a little hot, "He is not my servant, he may indeed be knowledgeable and a little clever." β
Xing Shen originally thought that since this mission was teleported to the western fantasy world of elves and undead, he would follow the knightly rites he had just performed in the countryside, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood. Although I don't quite understand why Xiaomi blushes, it's still very cute.
"Na, His Highness the Knight and his master. We've got to get going. As soon as I emerge from the tree where I am hiding, I will be noticed by the undead who are chasing me, believing that they are already on their way. Lingxi didn't mean to change her words at all.
"Without further ado, let's go." Xingshen did not correct it.
ββββ eerie and gloomy dividing lineββββ
It was probably the first time in two months that she could communicate with other people, and Lingxi was extremely excited. She chirped and laughed and exclaimed, making Xingshen feel like a dryad, more than a forest elf. The elven maid reminisced about the humans she had dealt with before and her knowledge of human society, and the elf's long lifespan made her rich and interesting.
The landscape was still dark, but the laughter of the elves seemed to banish fear.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "rustling" in the grass in front of them, and the three of them stopped at the same time.
A canine creature with three heads and a glowing body burst out of the grass and whined in front of them, and two more of its kind appeared beside it.
"Hellhound."
The elven maid looked frightened, "They were the ones who chased me and forced me to hide in the trees. They are fierce and fierce, and they are very difficult to deal with. β
Xingshen had already drawn his sword out of the sheath and rushed towards the three-headed dog, Xiaoyao Xiaomi gritted his silver teeth, and also took out the dagger on his waist to catch up with Xingshen.
Xingshen stabbed with a sword but stabbed into the air, another three-headed dog had already pounced, Xingshen rolled quickly, but he was still scratched by his claws, and blood oozed from the back of his shoulder. Xiaomi also rushed over. Facing the other three-headed dog.
However, the huge attribute gap has made Xiaomi suffer a big loss. Her dagger intersected with the beast's claws, but the sound of gold and stone came, her arms were numb, the assassin's most proud burst skill was actually deformed, and Millet was repelled by the brute force of the three-headed dog a few steps, and her blood was already in a hurry.
"Is this what you call a cutscene?" Xiaomi questioned Xingshen
"Uh...... Seems a little bit bad. Xing Shen replied, but saw the three-headed dog of hell pounce again, and he blocked it with his sword, and his blood was only half left. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of another three-headed hellhound rushing towards Xiaomi, and in his hurry, he used the "One Sword Flying Immortal" The three-headed dog of hell seemed to be aware of it, and dodged it sensitively, and the sword swept the back of the three-headed dog with a trace of blood, and the injured three-headed dog of hell was furious, and his eyes were on fire. Turning his head, he joined forces with two other three-headed dogs to attack Xingshen.
Xing Shen saw that none of the skills he had ever used to kill epic characters could seriously damage a three-headed dog, and he knew in his heart that this mission was going to be ruined. It's just that there is no possibility of negotiation with these beasts, and Xiaomi will die once when he meets himself? Could it be that she is her disaster star?
In the blink of an eye, the stench from the mouth of the three-headed dog of hell had already arrived. I saw a burst of green light shooting out from behind. Several three-headed dogs were forced to take a few steps back.
Xing Shen turned his head and saw a burst of rich green light emanating from Lingxi's body. The "Elf Tears" on Xiaomi's neck also floated into the air with purple light.
The green glow on Lingxi's body also became more and more abundant, becoming denser and brighter. A "whoosh" burrowed into the "Elven Tears", and the other green rays that overflowed formed a faintly glowing portal.
"Xiaomi, let's go." Xingshen took the little assassin's hand.
Xiaomi, who was being held, was stunned for a moment, and her eyes turned white.
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the majestic Shuofang City. At this moment, it is already the beginning of the lights. The crowds in the ring area are already sparse. From afar, you can see the night city with all kinds of lanterns, and the shops are crowded with people. Xiaomi suddenly realized and shook off Xingshen's hand. "Ahh
"Uh, I'm sorry, the situation was critical just now." Xingshen hurriedly explained.
"Where's Lingxi?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Xiaomi changed the topic, and was really concerned about the safety of the elf maid.
"It's supposed to be in your necklace." Xingshen used two rejuvenation talismans. The mess and scars on Xiaomi's and Xingshen's bodies recovered at a visible speed, and they were refreshed again in a moment.
Xiaomi took out the necklace and found that there was an extra description on it: it can summon the elf Lingxi. Lingxi sacrificed her cultivation to gain strength and escape from the dark forces. As an elf with outstanding magical talents, Lingxi has good growth potential in space magic and natural magic. Please be kind to her, and perhaps one day she will be able to return to her adult power and solve the mystery of the elven princess's disappearance.
Xingshen on the side was also surprised, "This is a humanoid pet?" It's the first time I've seen it. β
"Pets?" Xiaomi seemed very excited. "You're saying Lingxi has become my little friend?" She flicked the purple gem on the necklace with her fingers.
There was a strange sound in the air, and the fragrance of flowers and plants wafted out. A small elf with transparent wings flew through the air.
"Squeak%#@#Β₯" The elf emitted a series of pleasant extraterrestrial sounds.
"Wow~! It's so exquisite, so cute, and she's wearing a pink little skirt! "Xiaomi's eyes are about to turn into stars." Xingshen, what is she talking about? β
"I think it's 'please take care of us when we meet for the first time,' right?" Xingshen also likes this little guy very much. "I don't know what she's talking about, you ask me."
Xiaomi's mind has completely fallen on the elf.
"Have you completely lost your memory?" βοΏ₯%β
"Can I summon you out at any time in the future?" "Squeak Squeak"
"You have to remember, your name is Lingxi, and my name is Xiaoyao Xiaomi. We'll be good partners from now on. "Β₯%......@#" The elf was as excited as Xiaomi, and happily spun around in place a few times in mid-air.
Xingshen, who was completely ignored by a master and a servant, complained silently on the side; "It's such a pleasant exchange?"
Xiaomi's joy finally passed for a while, and then he remembered that there was a star sink on the side, but he didn't feel embarrassed.
"Great God, I see that it is getting late, and this woman is going to go back and rest, so it is better to leave it alone."
"Well, it's okay, didn't you add friends, you can find me if you need help in the future."
"An-la, An-la" Xiaomi turned around in a chic manner and waved his hand as a farewell. Lingxi on the side followed with a small glowing wand flying.
Xing Shen looked at Xiaomi's distant back, and after a while, he turned around and shook his head, "This shit luck." β
