Chapter 120: Waiting for the Rabbit
From what Cole said, Xiao Peng can draw the following messages. First, the monsters in the wilderness usually attack passing caravans between five and seven o'clock in the afternoon. Second, the group of monsters in the field generally attacked the caravan from three locations. Thirdly, these monsters are very disciplined, and for so long, they have never killed anyone, and at most they have knocked out those who resisted. Fourthly, and most crucially, Starry Night City launched an army to encircle and suppress this group of monsters three times, but each time they didn't even see the shadow of those monsters.
Xiao Peng was almost certain that there was someone behind this group of monsters in command, and this person's status in Starry Night City would not be low, after all, he even knew about such a secret thing as the dispatch of the army. Moreover, the fact that it won't hurt people also shows that there are people behind the monster who are in control, and this person should still have the bottom line of being an elf, and will never kill his own people in any way.
Then the question arises, what Xiao Peng, a stupid pig can think of, how could the officials of Starry Night City not think of it? Besides, if you want to say that there is not enough time and the investigation has not been clear, it is purely a fart, more than a year, and the scope of the investigation is not large, how can it be that the mastermind has not been found out?
In this case, it can only be said that there is another possibility. That is, someone is covering for this mastermind, and the person who is covering must have a very high status in Starry Night City. But then again, how could someone with this status do such a thing? Not to mention that the looted goods can be sold for money, Cole is not a dry eater, and if a large number of goods pour into the market of Starry Night City, Cole will definitely be able to find out the source of these things in the first place. But if a small bit of it flows into the market, the profit it brings... To put it mildly, Xiao Peng didn't make as much money refining medicine, did the mastermind need to risk ruining his reputation to do such a thing?
Xiao Peng, who had just sorted out his thoughts a little, was suddenly a little forced again. He stopped at the Starry Night Gate, frowning and thinking for a moment, but still couldn't find an explanation for the situation.
"Cole said that a caravan will arrive in Starry Night City tomorrow, Cahill, let's go to the places where problems often occur first." Xiao Peng shook his head, and finally decided to wait for the rabbit.
"Yes, master."
..................
Of the three locations, the closest to Starry Night City is in the tenth-level monster area, the refresh point of the star ape, and then a little farther is the refresh point of the thirteenth-level monster Moon Leopard, and the farthest is the fifteenth-level monster area, the refresh point of the star-swallowing beast. And the few FBs of the fifteenth level are not far from the refresh point of the Star Devouring Beast, which is very convenient for Xiao Peng's plan.
"When the time comes, let's finish brushing FB, just come here and squat, hoping those monsters will appear." Xiao Peng pointed to the forest path not far away and said to Cahill beside him.
"Will it work?" Cahill glanced at Xiao Peng, she is a thief, it is naturally no problem to squat here, in the stealth state, as long as she is not a teammate, it is almost impossible to find the thief. But Xiao Peng is a mage, how can he hide?
"Well, I'll stay away when the time comes, and you'll be watching over here." Xiao Peng is also very aware of this problem, he doesn't have the idea of squatting in person.
"I see." Cahill nodded, and that was pretty much it.
"Then let's go back." Xiao Peng understands that this task is urgent, and he is ready to fight for a long time. According to Cole, the caravans coming to Starry Night City usually come once every three days, that is to say, if he doesn't squat on that group of monsters tomorrow, Xiao Peng will have to board for at least three days.
The task has been received, after Xiao Peng returned to the hotel, he began to practice with peace of mind, taking advantage of the fact that the primary blood recovery medicine and the primary blue recovery medicine can still be sold for a period of time, Xiao Peng wants to accumulate as much money as possible, and he has money in his hand, so he is not panicking.
The alchemy was practiced until the information bar jumped, Xiao Peng cleaned it up, and opened the information bar with excitement, and sure enough, it was a message sent to him by Li Xiang'er.
"Today, I was lucky to meet a group of four people who were priests, and I followed them to brush the eighth-level FN, and I brushed them all three times. They asked me to form a permanent team with them, and you said I was going to say yes? Li Xiang'er briefly told Xiao Peng what happened today, and then sought his opinion.
"Yes, you can find a fixed team, and the efficiency of upgrading can be stabilized, which is still good for you." Xiao Peng replied that if he could form a fixed team, Li Xiang'er's upgrade speed in the future would not be the same as before. And the squad that can clear the eighth-level FB is definitely not bad in terms of strength, and it can protect Li Xiang'er.
"Well, then I'll ask you tomorrow what the requirements are for joining their permanent team, and then I'll ask for your opinion." Li Xiang'er is still a little moved, this strange friend is really thinking about her.
"Well, remember to ask me any questions."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely trouble you." Li Xiang'er, who looked at the information, smiled, then rolled her eyes and continued to send a message: "Didn't you say that you went to brush the fifteenth-level FB today?" How's it going, have you cleared it? ”
"Of course, the normal difficulty of the regular dungeon has been cleared, and the easy mode of the two special dungeons has also been solved. But.... It really disgusted me today. As soon as he talked about FB, Xiao Peng remembered the fear brought to him by the suture monster, paralyzed, he still had to eat later.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiang'er blinked her eyes and asked quickly.
"You don't know, the last special FB, there are two kinds of monsters in it that are super disgusting, I told them, that special copy in the future, just kill the first boss and withdraw." Xiao Peng still didn't tell Li Xiang'er in detail what happened when he brushed the fortress of the dead, because according to the time, Li Xiang'er was probably eating at this time.
“.......... You're a big man and you're afraid of this, aren't you? Li Xiang'er seemed to have seen a new continent, and her curiosity was aroused.
"It's not a question of fear, is it? I don't even want to eat now, and I want to vomit when I see meat. Xiao Peng began to complain.
"I really sympathize with you, I hope I won't encounter that kind of FB in the future." Li Xiang'er thought about it, and yes, disgusting and afraid are two concepts.
"Would you like to describe the image of that monster?"
“..... I'll eat first, and we'll talk tomorrow. Li Xiang'er's face changed, and after replying, she turned off the information column.
"Hahaha......" Xiao Peng smiled very happily here.
