Chapter 45: The Beginning of the War
"This must be a misunderstanding, the three of us don't even know what colorful diamonds are in the tribute."
The yellow-clothed panda man said to Ning Wushuang and his party with a firm expression.
However, Ning Wushuang and his party naturally wouldn't believe what the yellow-clothed panda man said because of a few words.
Ning Wushuang's eyes were fixed on the eyes of the yellow-clothed panda man, but the eyes of the yellow-clothed panda man did not dodge, obviously taking an extremely firm position, firmly believing that the three of them on his side were innocent.
The atmosphere gradually condensed like the current cold winter, and Ning Wushuang and his party did not relax their vigilance at all, in case the three of them suddenly showed their minions.
The yellow-clothed panda man never showed even the slightest hint of fighting intent, and now he just wanted to sort out what happened after the three of them fell behind.
The green-clothed panda man, who had been hiding behind the bamboo, poked his head out slightly and said softly, "No, we didn't do it. ā
"Then why did you leave the group?" Ning Wushuang wondered.
"Blame me, no, don't blame my brother and brother." The green-clothed pandaman continued.
After saying that, the green-clothed panda man sobbed again. So, the yellow-clothed panda man explained to Ning Wushuang and his party.
It turned out that this delivery mission was the first time that the three of them had left the Pusmitta City area. And the three of them naively thought that Wardle City and other cities also had large bamboo forests like Pusmida City, so they did not prepare bamboo.
As a result, after leaving the area of Pusmida City, the three of them did not touch a single bamboo for two whole days.
Speaking of this, Zou Haoyun couldn't help but interrupt and complained: "I said that you can't become human, and then eat some human food?" ā
The yellow-clothed pandaman replied embarrassedly, "Our race has always been only in this form, and we can't continue to anthropomorphize. ā
"Then you can eat something else, right?" This time, Zilai complained about the change of money.
The red-clothed panda man choked and said, "You know a fart, hum." If the panda doesn't eat bamboo, won't the cuteness value be reduced?! ā
Zou Haoyun: "When did you add the data of Meng value?!" ā
Qian Zilai: "It's reasonable, I can't refute it." ā
The yellow-clothed panda man shook his head and sighed: "We have only eaten bamboo since we were children, and it is really difficult for them to suddenly change our habits to eat other foods. It's all my brother's fault for not thinking it through. ā
The red-clothed panda man said stubbornly: "I don't care, but that crybaby, hum." ā
The yellow-clothed pandaman continued: "So in the evening, when the convoy camped at the foot of the mountain to rest, I took the two of them here to collect bamboo. As a result..."
It turned out that after the three of them came to the bamboo forest, the yellow-clothed panda man and the red-clothed pandaman hurriedly began to collect bamboo, while the green-clothed pandaman happily ate on the side. However, after the yellow-clothed panda and the red-clothed pandaren collected enough bamboo, they turned around and disappeared from the green-clothed pandaren.
At this time, the green-clothed pandaman sobbed: "IāI saw a little animal jumping around, and I thought it was a little rabbit." So, so I'm going to chase it and take a look. Who knew it was a big frog, and then I found me, I was lost... Woooooooo ā
The red-clothed pandaman said angrily: "Are you an idiot to chase an animal into the forest below the mountain?" ā
Later, the yellow-clothed pandaman and the red-clothed pandaman searched for the bamboo forest unsuccessfully and ran to the Frest forest below the mountain to look for it, but the green-clothed pandaman returned to the Chinorite Mountain.
The three of them wandered around this area for four days, and only met again in this bamboo forest last night.
"Anyway, there's no way a frog can be mistaken for a rabbit, right?! How can there be such a big frog? Zou Haoyun complained.
"It's a frog! It's a big one! The green-clothed pandaman insisted.
Ning Wushuang thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't find anything suspicious about them, so he could only ask tentatively: "Since you say that you are innocent, how about following us back to the Adventurer's Guild and letting the guild verify it?" If you are really innocent, the guild will never frame you. ā
The red-clothed pandaman said angrily, "Hmph, what are you guys? Why should we go back with you, won't we go back ourselves?! ā
The yellow-clothed panda man stopped, "Okay, brother." ā
After the red-clothed panda man snorted disdainfully at Ning Wushuang and his party, he turned his head and stopped talking.
The yellow-clothed panda man actually knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to prove the innocence of the three of them, he could only go back to the Adventurer's Guild to accept the lie detector magic, and if he blindly avoided it, the misunderstanding would only deepen.
The yellow-clothed panda man bent down slightly and said politely, "Then there is a lot of labor." ā
So, Ning Wushuang let Yu Feng lead the way in front, the three panda people in the middle, and the rest of the people followed closely behind, and the group set off for the adventurer's guild in Wardle City.
"Hmph, do you really treat us as prisoners? Guarding us like this. The red-clothed pandaman was still indignant.
Ning Wushuang, who was following closely behind, didn't bother to explain, carefully paying attention to the surrounding situation in case there was an accomplice of the panda people.
I was about to go down to the bottom of the mountain, suddenly
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"
Three arrows suddenly shot from the right side of the group, and there was even a sound of breaking through the air where they passed, like a bamboo.
"Be careful!"
After Ning Wushuang reminded everyone loudly, he raised his shield and rushed to the right.
"Ding, Ding"
Ning Wushuang's shield blocked a shot and flew a shot with his short sword.
But there was another arrow, but Ning Wushuang didn't have time to resist it, and could only watch the arrow pass by him.
The arrow was about to hit the green-clothed pandaman, suddenly
"Ding"
Yu Feng used the teleportation skill to teleport in front of the green-clothed panda and raised his shield to block the arrow.
Ning Wushuang and Yu Feng both checked the situation of their shields, but found that the arrows that hit the shield had disappeared, and there was a deep hole in the shield, almost penetrating the shield.
Ning Wushuang carefully examined the hole in the shield, but was surprised to find that the hole was actually covered with an obvious layer of frost.
Ning Wushuang couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Although it's a little cold now, it won't frost so soon.
"It's the Frost Arrow."
The yellow-clothed panda man seemed to see Ning Wushuang's doubts and took the initiative to answer.
Then he turned his head to look at Yu Feng and said gratefully, "Thank you." ā
"No thanks, just remember to come back and talk to me."
Yu Feng wanted to compete with the cold armored bear a few days ago, but he didn't expect Lin Qingyu to leave Chenolite Mountain so quickly. He hadn't fought for a few days, and Yu Feng now felt that his hands were itching.
The yellow-clothed panda man had no choice but to smile awkwardly.
"Frost Arrow? I see. Ning Wushuang suddenly came to his senses, and thought to himself: the three arrows were all shot at the three panda people, and it seemed that they should not be their accomplices.
"Who?!" Ning Wushuang shouted loudly in the direction where the arrow came out.
But no one answered.
"Haoyun?" Ning Wushuang asked softly.
Zou Haoyun naturally knew what Ning Wushuang wanted to say, and after opening the exploration, Zou Haoyun replied: "There are four, one is on that tree, and three are behind those trees. ā
Zou Haoyun replied as he pointed to the location of the trees where the enemy was hiding.
"You four come out! We know you're there! Ning Wushuang shouted again at the trees.
After a few seconds, three figures slowly walked out from behind the tree.
One of the men at the head smiled and shouted, "Come down." ā
A short-haired red woman jumped from the top of a tree and stood in front of the trio, holding a metal bow glowing with a dull black light, which appeared to be a weapon made of demonic ore like the bow Rena was holding.
"Your sister?" Qian Zilai looked at Zou Haoyun and complained.
"Your sister!" Zou Haoyun retorted.
Sophia looked at the two of them awkwardly and smiled bitterly.
Ning Wushuang frowned and looked at the four of them. Although there were three people standing under the shade of the trees, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, judging by the weapons held by the short-haired red woman, the identities of these four people were probably not simple.
"Who are the four of you?" Ning Wushuang asked.
At this time, the yellow-clothed panda man stared at the red-haired woman a little suspiciously, always feeling that he had seen her somewhere.
"It's just a silver-tier adventure team, but we can actually detect us who have used the 'hidden' skill. Looks like there's a guy with good magic potential on your team. The man under the shadow of the tree said with a smile.
"Without further ado, who are you? If you don't say it, don't blame us for being polite. Ning Wushuang continued to question.
The man in the lead slowly walked out from under the shadow of the tree.
When his appearance slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the three panda people were also slowly shocked.
The yellow-clothed pandaman frowned and said, "Captain? Why you? ā
The man sneered: "Hmph, the three of you have stolen the Colorful Diamond and brought shame to our adventure team, of course we will personally come to bring you to justice." ā
Through this conversation, Ning Wushuang and his party immediately understood that the four people in front of them were the gold-level adventure team that had accepted the escort mission.
Although the man's words were reasonable, Ning Wushuang and his party didn't intend to buy it at all.
Ning Wushuang questioned again, "Bring them to justice?" Why do I think you're planning to kill someone? You wouldn't be complicit in them, would you? Worried that the three of them will expose you, so you want to get rid of the three of them? Or are the three of them actually innocent, and you are the real thieves, trying to kill people and frame them? ā
The yellow-clothed panda man hurriedly said, "The three of us are innocent. ā
Yu Feng followed up and said: "No matter what the reason is, it is impossible for someone to be a good person who hides and releases cold arrows!" ā
Zou Haoyun was stunned for two seconds and then complained: "Damn, Yu Feng, why do I think you are hinting at me?!" ā
Because Zou Haoyun solved Warwick with a cold arrow during the crisis in Dog Man Village.
Yu Feng also remembered, and hurriedly added, "Haha, I'm sorry." Except for me and my teammates. ā
In fact, Ning Wushuang's feeling was right, the man's plan was to retreat immediately after assassinating the three panda people, but he never expected that the plan would be disrupted by the two silver-rank adventurers.
But the two possibilities that Ning Wushuang suspected were not entirely correct. The colorful diamonds are indeed worth a fortune, and they are estimated to sell for more than a million Lutes on the black market. But a million Lutes is not worth the risk on their own future, and their team can earn a million Lutcoins or more in a year by working hard to complete the mission.
The morning after the three panda people went to the bamboo forest.
When counting the number of people and goods, the man found that the three panda people were missing. In order not to delay the trip, he did not choose to wait for the three of them, but continued to set off on time.
By about noon, they were about to leave the area of Wardle City.
"Take care of this box." The man admonished the red-haired woman.
The red-haired woman nodded, not taking her eyes off the box containing the colorful diamonds in the carriage for a moment.
"Sand, Sand"
There was a sudden loud noise in the grass next to the red-haired woman, and she hurriedly looked over vigilantly.
She shouted and asked, "Who?!" ā
Because of her shouting, the entire convoy stopped, and all the adventurers were on standby.
"What's wrong?" The leading man hurriedly asked the red-haired woman who was holding a bow and firing arrows at any moment.
The red-haired woman stared at the place where the movement was coming and said, "There's a situation there. ā
The man made an attacking gesture, and the woman fired five frost arrows in a row.
When the arrow was fired, an animal wail came from the grass. A large boar rushed out of the grass, its hind legs pierced a hole by arrows, but not a drop of blood came out.
However, the big wild boar rushed only two meters away, and the back half of its body actually formed a thick layer of frost, making it unable to run.
In a few seconds, the whole wild boar was tightly covered in frost.
"It's just a wild boar, a false alarm."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at the same time that everyone let down their vigilance.
"Rustle"
The grass on the other side made a noise.
The red-haired woman hurriedly looked over and said depressedly: It won't be a wild boar again, right? Sick of it.
While looking over, she didn't wait for the order of the leading man, and directly shot five more arrows of frost.
However, this time there was no movement in the grass, which made her a little confused.
Just when she was puzzled, the man in the lead exclaimed.
"Where's the box?!"
