Chapter 42: The Bamboo Forest
"Why is Mount Chinorit worth going again?"
After listening to what Yu Feng said, Ning Wushuang was very puzzled, and he couldn't think of a reason after racking his brains.
At this time, Zou Haoyun was crying wolf: "My God, you don't really want to go back now, do you?" Twins. β
However, Ning Wushuang ignored Zou Haoyun, and Qian Zilai comforted: "Forget it, after all, 200,000 Lutes, the opportunity is rare." But what exactly did Chinolite Mountain attract Yu Feng? Qian Zilai was equally confused.
Yu Feng smiled and replied in a low voice, "Haha, it's normal that you don't know the reason. Because I'm referring to the area where I was looking for Azure Snow Lotus yesterday. β
"Oh, what's going on there?" Ning Wushuang wondered.
"There's a bamboo forest there." Yu Feng replied.
As soon as Yu Feng finished speaking, Zou Haoyun began to complain: "Do panda people still have to like to eat bamboo like pandas?" β
Yu Feng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "But when it comes to pandas, I naturally think of bamboo." I also think it makes sense when you say that, so let's just assume that I didn't say it. β
"I also think it's worth checking out." Ning Wushuang said unexpectedly.
"Oh my God, my half-day vacation." Zou Haoyun continued to cry wolf.
Seeing that Zou Haoyun was about to fall to the ground and cry bitterly, Ning Wushuang said slowly: "Who said that I would go this afternoon?" β
Zou Haoyun got up from the ground and glared and asked, "Then when are you going?" β
Ning Wushuang replied, "Tomorrow morning, let's find a bounty task for Mount Chenolite by the way, so as not to go in vain." β
Qian Zilai was puzzled: "Can I take on other tasks after receiving the wanted warrant?" β
Ning Wushuang replied: "It is marked above, you don't need to receive the wanted warrant, just bring the people and goods back." β
Qian Zilai continued to ask: "What if one person dies and the goods are gone?" Will there be any suspicion that we have embezzled it? β
Ning Wushuang shook his head and said, "As long as we are innocent, if the guild suspects, just go and check us." Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. β
Yu Feng also said with a smile: "Haha, let's worry about this matter when we really find those three adventurers." β
Zou Haoyun urged impatiently: "After discussion, let's go back quickly, I'm about to die." β
After speaking, Zou Haoyun took the lead and walked to the door, followed by Qian Zilai.
Yu Feng complained: "Sophia is not as squeamish as you. Then he quickly followed the pace of the two and walked to the door, because he was actually too sleepy now.
Sophia smiled awkwardly and followed.
Ning Wushuang shook his head helplessly, and also kept up with the pace of everyone, and the group left the Adventurer's Guild.
"Mount Chinorite..."
A figure walked out of the shadow of the pillar behind the table where Ning Wushuang and the others were sitting just now, and muttered to himself.
Early the next morning
"Are you in good spirits today?"
After the group finished breakfast, Ning Wushuang asked Zou Haoyun with a blank look.
"Hey, there you have it." Zou Haoyun said with a smile.
Qian Zilai asked shyly, "Shuang'er, what fun did you go to play with Sophia yesterday afternoon?" β
Zou Haoyun glared and shouted, "You went to play with Sophia?!" β
Ning Wushuang spread his hands and said, "You have to sleep by yourself." β
Zou Haoyun said enviously: "What are you playing?" Let's hear it. β
Sophia smiled embarrassedly and replied, "Actually, I didn't go to play anything." β
Zou Haoyun didn't believe it when he was killed.
However, in fact, Ning Wushuang really didn't take Sophia to play anything, just went for a casual walk with her for a while. Although Ning Wushuang wanted to buy something for Sophia, Sophia said that she didn't want anything, she just wanted to walk quietly with him for a while.
Afterwards, Ning Wushuang and Sophia went to the Magic Scroll Shop.
"Alright, let's go to the guild to find a quest for Mount Chinolit."
So, the group came to the Adventurer's Guild. However, the truth is that everything can't go smoothly, and there is not a single mission on the bulletin board for Mount Chinolite.
"It's... Still not going? Yu Feng said embarrassedly.
Ning Wushuang was also in a dilemma, and after a struggle in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go!" Anyway, the original time limit for finding Azure Snow Lotus was four days, so let's just treat it as if we were looking for three days, and we won't lose anything. β
Zou Haoyun complained: "Mathematical genius." β
The group took the risk of running in vain and set out for Mount Chinorit.
And at this time on Mount Chinolit, the largest peak.
"Are you mistaken? Where this bird doesn't shit, can you really find those three idiots? β
"Then you've found some other clues!"
"Hey, stop arguing. I've been looking for an all-nighter, and I understand that you're a little angry, but now it's important to find those three brothers, and you can't let the matter be revealed. β
"It's all my fault, one of them is careless..."
"Okay, don't talk about that. Let's take a look at the two peaks next to it. β
ββ
"Whew, whew, is this it?" Zou Haoyun gasped and asked.
The group walked for another morning, and finally came to Mount Chinorite again. At this time, everyone was taking a short rest in front of the bamboo forest that Yu Feng said.
A few minutes later.
"Alright, let's go in and find out." Ning Wushuang stood up and patted the fine snow on his body and said.
Not long after the group entered the bamboo forest, there was a sound of "rustling" in front of them.
"It can't be the wind, right?" Zou Haoyun said in confusion as he used "probe". Now he has developed the habit of using "probe" to survey the movement situation as soon as there is any trouble.
"It's not! There are three targets coming up in front of us. Zou Haoyun suddenly whispered in surprise.
"Hide first..."Ning Wushuang was about to say to hide first, but when he looked around, he was embarrassed to find that it was all bamboo, and there was no place to hide at all.
"What should I do?" Qian Zilai frowned.
Yu Feng said with gusting hands: "Whatever, just front!" β
Ning Wushuang took out the shield and short sword from the storage ring and said helplessly: "There is no other way." β
The rest of the people also entered the battle preparations, and the group waited for the three people who were about to arrive.
"Rustle"
The voices were getting closer, and even the sound of conversation could be heard.
"What should I do? Brother, why don't we go back to Pusmeta. β
"Hmph, it's not you yet, you have to clamo for bamboo to eat. Now it's okay, it's left behind. β
"Woooooooooooo
"Hmph, I love to eat and cry. Big brother, why don't we go back to Pusmida City? β
"Well, Miss Thea warned us that if we fail this mission, we will fall back to the bronze ranks. However, it is estimated that the delivery team has now successfully transported the tribute to the royal capital, and we can only go back to accept the punishment. β
"Woo woo, I'm sorry, brother."
"Oops, it's annoying, can you shut up, crybaby."
"Okay, you're a younger brother, you can't talk to your sister like this."
"Hmph, I don't recognize her as my sister."
"Woooooooooooo
Ning Wushuang and his party finally saw the three people they were talking to, and it turned out to be three panda people wearing "yellow, green and red" clothes.
The green-clothed panda man who first discovered Ning Wushuang and his party screamed in fright, and then hid behind a bamboo, but the chubby and round size was not something that a bamboo could hide.
The red-clothed pandaman became even more angry when he saw the green-clothed pandaman's timid appearance, and raised his twin knives and shouted, "Dodge, is it useful?" A few on the other side, let the horses come! β
After the red-clothed pandaman finished shouting, flames were instantly entangled in the two knives, looking domineering.
"Sure enough... It's handsome. Ning Wushuang muttered.
"What do you say?" Zou Haoyun, who didn't hear clearly, wondered.
"No, nothing." Ning Wushuang smiled awkwardly.
Just as the red-clothed panda raised his feet and was about to attack, the yellow-clothed pandaman stopped him and said, "Stop, why do you want to fight when you see someone?" β
The red-clothed panda man said indignantly: "He, they are all in a battle posture, they are definitely not good people!" β
After hearing this, Zou Haoyun complained: "Hey, hey, I've figured it out." You're the bad guys, aren't you? You're a wanted criminal in the Adventurer's Guild! β
"What?!" The yellow-clothed panda was shocked.
"Impossible! You liar! You guys are absolutely bad guys! The red-clothed pandaman was furious and tried to get rid of the yellow-clothed pandaman's block, and the flames on the twin knives burned even more violently.
The yellow-clothed pandaman still tried his best to pull the red-clothed pandaman and said, "You calm down, listen to them first!" β
The red-clothed panda slowly calmed down, but still said indignantly: "You make it clear!" If you slander us, you will not be spared! β
The words and tone of the red-clothed panda man were indeed quite domineering, but Ning Wushuang looked at the panda man in front of him who was only as tall as his stomach, and he couldn't raise his fighting spirit.
Qian Zilai also whispered: "Sure enough, pandas are still more suitable for selling cuteness, fighting or something, so forget it." β
Zou Haoyun became more energetic than the red-clothed panda man, and shouted loudly: "What did you do to steal chickens and touch dogs and still need to be reminded by others?" Besides, do you have that much power? Still want to hit five? β
"Ahhh It's too much of a deception! β
The red-clothed panda man, who had just calmed down, became angry again, and rushed towards Ning Wushuang and his party with his flaming twin knives again, but the yellow-clothed panda man couldn't stop him.
Seeing that the red-clothed panda man was about to approach, Yu Feng, who was beside Ning Wushuang, was the first to rush out.
I saw that Yu Feng immediately used the instant slash as soon as he took a step, and in an instant, he moved in front of the red-clothed pandaman, raised his sword and swung it horizontally at the red-clothed pandaman.
However, the red-clothed panda man is obviously also somewhat capable and responds quite quickly. After the red-clothed panda man squatted down, he rolled forward, and after rolling, he raised his two knives and crossed them, like a big pair of scissors to "cut" Yu Feng's abdomen.
However, Yu Feng is naturally not a vegetarian. I saw that he jumped a big step after a hurry, and the shield in his other hand also threw all his strength towards the head of the red-clothed panda without mercy.
"Damn, I didn't expect Yu Feng to be so despicable." Zou Haoyun complained.
"It's unexpected." Qian Zilai explained with a smile.
Seeing that the shield was about to hit the red-clothed panda, the red-clothed panda raised his twin knives to resist. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came into contact with the shield, he was shocked by a brutal force. The shield was not even stopped for more than half a second, and still smashed mercilessly at the faΓ§ade of the red-clothed panda.
The red-clothed panda hurriedly blocked it with his hand, worried about breaking the phase.
"Bang"
The red-clothed panda closed its eyes in fright and trembled all over.
"Huh, it's okay?"
The red-clothed panda slowly opened one eye and peeked at it, only to find that he was unscathed. After lowering his hands, he found that the shield had been thrown away by something. After a closer look, I found that there was a stone the size of a watermelon on the other side.
The red-clothed panda man slowly turned his head to look at the yellow-clothed panda before he understood what was happening.
"Oh? A little bit of strength. Yu Feng looked at the yellow-clothed panda man in surprise and praised.
After the yellow-clothed pandaman put the large slingshot of the same height as himself into the storage ring, he said politely, "I beg your forgiveness for my brother's impulsiveness, and I will educate him well." Also, please don't hurt him, otherwise I'll be taught a lesson by my parents when I go home. β
Yu Feng twisted his joints and said with some expectation: "It's easy to say, just come and fight with me seriously." β
The yellow-clothed pandaman said embarrassedly: "This..."
Ning Wushuang came out in time to stop him: "Alas, let's talk about it first and see what the situation is." β
Judging from the conversation he heard before meeting the three of them, Ning Wushuang vaguely felt that the three panda people might be innocent.
Ning Wushuang was about to tell the three panda people about the wanted warrant, but Zou Haoyun preemptively said, "Let me come." β
So, Zou Haoyun added fuel to the fire and told the three panda people that at least ten gold-level adventure teams had searched for their traces nearby.
The red-clothed pandaman still refused to believe it, and shouted angrily: "You fart! β
