Chapter 23: The Armless Swordsman
Boundless mountains, vast wilderness......
"Ahh It's really boring to death! Zi Xun wore the mage cloak, dragged a very strange-looking black wolf in his hand, and looked at the endless mountains and complained.
This wolf is a breed he has never seen before, with a black horn on its head, and the level is not low, what surprises him even more is that this wolf can also release a strange skill similar to the black fog, although he doesn't know what this black fog is for, because this wolf was accidentally shot to death by him when he rushed over, so now he can only carry the wolf's tail aimlessly.
As he progressed, he gradually spotted signs of sapient activity, burnt fires, broken traps, and traces of battle...... But it looks like a long time ago. And now he doesn't know what kind of person he is expecting to meet, now he is level 45, and the wild monsters he encounters along the way in this mountain range are at most level 35, and he just destroyed a level 103 monster not long ago, he can't think of anything else to be afraid of.
But soon he realizes his hubris, because it didn't take long for him to meet his lifelong enemy, the bug!
The scene in front of him was even more terrifying than a nightmare for him, piles of strange bugs gathered together, covered in inexplicable slime, crawling and wriggling, and the point was that the size of those bugs was terrifying!
He suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and slowly retreated to make a detour, but unexpectedly he met a giant spider, two eyes to eight eyes, and each other looked very uneasy.
Compared to insects, snakes are very cute!
"Excuse me," he resisted...... feeling of nausea, and chose to leave the swamp far away, making a detour. The wolf in his hand did not know why, and now there was only a layer of intact fur left.
What is this setting? The flesh spoils for a while and then disappears automatically? He didn't understand either. The exquisite wolf skin in his hand really can't think of any use, he doesn't lack clothes to wear, and there is no body temperature setting in this world, not to mention one thing he can be sure of, that is, he is very rich! The kind that can never be spent!
I don't know if it's because of the BUG compensation or as a reward for killing the world-class BOSS, the 100 valuable gold nuggets in the mail, each one is the size of a brick, if the price of gold in this world has not depreciated, it is already a mobile treasury!
So now he desperately wants to reach a relatively prosperous city, otherwise his money and prey will be useless. Maybe in this world, you can easily become a rich man and solve the housing problem without pressure, and it's really exciting to think about it!
Oh, no, my goal seems to be to conquer the world!
Just as he was immersed in the endless fantasy, a strange feeling under his feet made him wonder.
"Huh?" Before he could react, a lasso tightly locked his ankle, and with the help of the strength of the tree trunk next to him, he was instantly suspended in mid-air.
“......”
Without a trace of defense, there was no trace of panic, he just wondered what kind of person had set such an ancient trap here, and he simply hung it up, without further repair.
After a long time, there was no sign of the ambush, and Zixun began to become impatient, although he could tear the straw rope at any time if he wanted to.
"Hey, is anyone there? Feed? He tried to shout, "Hey, I'll leave if there's no more!" ”
He couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that it was just some careless hunter who set a trap and didn't bother anymore!
Just as he was about to bend down to break free of the rope, a sound of footsteps came sneaky, and it sounded like there were many footsteps. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he couldn't see a single figure for days, except for the stalker who had been following behind him.
But then a foul smell permeated, which made him lose interest immediately, and the sense of loss when he looked up made him even more depressed.
Not hunters, not herds, not savages, but ......
"Goblins?" He looked at the sub-human creatures with low intelligence with disgust, the green lizard-like skin, the dim yellow eyes, the appearance of male and female, the ugly posture of disheveled, and the foul smell that emanated from his body, that scene was simply disgusting! And those goblins were still muttering something at this point.
Translated, it looks like ......
"Found ...... Prey, which can ...... Eat! ”
Then all the goblins cheered and danced in an extremely ugly dance. And Zixun is not in the mood to appreciate it at all now, the appearance of this scene makes him regret his choice very much, why do you have to touch the things that he doesn't want to see at all!
"Goblins...... Something in the game that starts to abuse from a novice...... Eat me now..... Hehehe......" Zixun's eyes became hollow, and he silently took out the dagger from his body.
Just as he was about to cut the ropes and finish them all, a sword roar made him put away his weapon again.
As far as the eye could see, a tall man walked slowly, wearing a very old bun, wearing a loose coat, several long swords floating behind him, his face full of scars, the sound of the sword flashed again, and the rope that bound him was also broken.
Zi Xun fell to the ground with a thud, and it was not very painful, so Zi Xun didn't care about anything, on the contrary, he was very interested in the uncle who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Kid, go out of the way." His voice was very loud, but there was no trace of violence in his words at this time.
"Oh! Good! Zixun nodded and quickly ran to the side, the goblins did not chase after Zixun, but because the sudden appearance of the uncle attracted their hatred, a group of dwarf green-skinned monsters babbled with rudimentary weapons and jumped towards the dusty uncle.
"One Knife Stream!" A long knife appeared with a bright white light, and it slowly pulled out of the scabbard on his waist, and then hovered in front of his eyes, "The heart sword is traceless!" ”
In an instant, the figure of the uncle suddenly turned into an extremely fast white light, together with the long knife, shuttling between this group of goblins, just in the blink of an eye came to Zixun's face, he slowly got up expressionlessly, the knife was slowly sheathed, and his eyes were the eyes of an indifferent killer.
And those goblins froze in place, not knowing what was happening, as if nothing had happened, but when their bodies moved slightly, blood mist sprayed out in an instant, and a dozen goblins were cut into pieces and fell to the ground in unison, and the sword that slowly entered the sheath was not stained with a single filth!
"Are you alright?" He asked indifferently.
"That's amazing! Oh! I'm fine! Zi Xun couldn't help but admire, this is not a boast, because this man's speed can't even be seen clearly by him, with that kind of swordsmanship, this man is not an ordinary person at all.
Listening to Zixun's words, the uncle laughed very friendly.
"It's best to be fine! These imps are often encountered in this kind of place, although the combat power is not strong, but it is also troublesome to be in groups, so it's better to get out of here quickly! Uncle suggested.
"Well, yes! Actually, I just came here. Zixun smiled awkwardly, "My name is Doragon and I have been living in the dragon tribe before, so I am not very familiar with the outside world, and I never expected to meet a goblin here!" ”
"Doragon? What a familiar name......" He couldn't help frowning, thinking bitterly.
"Familiar?" Zixun couldn't help but wonder, he hadn't been in this world for long, could it be that the killing of the world boss was broadcast all over the world? It made him feel a little weak.
"Oh, sorry! My name is Sand City. The uncle also smiled helplessly, "You said you are from the dragon people?" I had been a mercenary for the Empire in the early years, and I had a lot of dealings with dragonmen...... But you don't look like a dragonman at all! ”
Indeed, none of the ears and right eye of a human, or the left eye of a beast, match the appearance of a dragonman.
"Oh, I was just taken in by them, my race...... I don't know! Zi Xun scratched his head and smiled.
After listening to Zixun's explanation, the uncle pondered for a moment, couldn't help sighing, and nodded.
"It seems that little brother, you are also a person with a very good story!" The uncle said slowly, "You and I met here, this is fate, if there is nothing else, then goodbye, he will meet again in the future!" ”
After saying that, the man, whose words and deeds were as sharp and dashing as his eyes, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Finally met a human being, and Zi Xun was not happy to leave in such a hurry, so he wanted to grab his left arm in a hurry, but this time he caught it empty! Because that sleeve is empty!
"Huh? What's wrong? Sha Cheng asked suspiciously, seeing Zi Xun's embarrassed appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he also understood something, and smiled indifferently, "Oh, this, don't care, I broke my two arms a few years ago, and now there are only two sleeves left." ”
"I'm sorry!" Zixun immediately put down the sleeve and sincerely apologized.
"Hey! Don't worry about that! By the way, is there anything else you can do? He asked again.
"That...... Actually, I want to know where the nearest city is, and I want to go over as soon as possible. Zi Xun replied silently, yes, he has had enough of this ghost place in the barren mountains and mountains!
"That's it! I can take you there, because I'm going back, and it's not impossible to be a guide along the way. ”
"Really! That's great! Zixun shouted happily.
"Wait!" At this time, the uncle's expression was different from just now, "You shouldn't be alone, right?" If there is a companion in the shadows, I don't have to worry about it! ”
Faced with such a question, Zixun suddenly understood that it was the mechanical girl who had been following behind him!
"Hey! Come out! Zixun shouted helplessly to the grass behind him.
Sure enough, a girl covered in metal slowly emerged from her hiding place and walked in front of Zixun step by step.
"Instructions received, allowed to follow if discovered." She said with a blank face.
"I'll ......"
"Who is this?" Sha Cheng was puzzled by the combination of these two people in his eyes, and his brows couldn't help but shrink, why is there a mechanical girl following behind a human?
"Her name is GW......" Zi Xun thought for a moment, gagged the girl when she wanted to answer, and continued, "Her name is Ge Wei, well, as you can see, a very strange fellow......"
The uncle looked at the two of them with a puzzled face, and then he really didn't want to think about it anymore, so he waved his sleeves.
"Eh, forget it! I don't want to know anything else, just follow me! ”
With that, he led the way.
"Ge Wei ......," she muttered silently, "this is ...... Name? It's mine? ”
