Chapter 5: The Nigon Collar

The young beast quietly licked the blood, and from time to time it raised its eyes to peek. The saliva stained Green's hands all over the place, and the young man was full of joy. He finally understood why so many players had given up on the pleasure and revenge in the game, and instead chose to open a pet shop and be in the company of those cute little beasts, at least in him, the sense of crisis since the crossing had been swept away.

It's like being a parent......

Green sighed in his heart, the wound on his finger had begun to heal, and the little fox licked his lips unsatisfactorily, and suddenly his body shook, curled up and shivered. The young man was startled and tried to reach out to hold it, but was forbidden by its tremor that was even greater.

"Can't you drink blood?"

Green was in a hurry, and it was a well-known fact that most of the beasts in the game lived on flesh and blood. Those life-loving players opened a Warcraft pet shop in the world of Gonodia, rare breeds of young beasts sometimes can't find the mother beast, and when there is a lack of milk, they also use blood to save emergencies, this thing Green has heard, is it not suitable for ordinary beasts?

"Little thing, how are you? Well? ”

Green's heart had just risen, and before he could panic, the little fox gradually calmed down. It curled up as if it were asleep, its dirty fur shining with a strange brilliance. When he was young, the little fox slowly opened his eyes, and his originally dark eyes actually revealed some kind of agility, Green was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that it was just a little human blood, this little guy actually had such a big change, and he was delighted, but he vaguely had some speculation about the unhappy acceptance process.

"Little things?" Green tentatively reached out and stroked the young beast, but the little fox lay on the ground with his eyes closed, allowing him to wipe the dust off his fur. The corners of Green's mouth twitched, happy like a child. This little fox is undoubtedly a wild young beast, and it is not like symbiosis with the mother beast left and right, Green was tempted for a while, and he was unhappy to make a counterpoint, so he had the idea of taking the young beast as a pet.

He patted the little fox on the head, and the little thing lifted its little paw and pulled down Green's big hand. The young man smiled, grabbed the little claw of the young beast, and asked softly, whether it understood or not, "Little thing, will you come with me?" ”

The little fox blinked his eyes, and his sparkling eyes shimmered. It tilted its head and stared at Green for a long time, until Green began to wonder if the little one had failed to understand what he meant, and the little fox suddenly broke free from Green's grasp, and then ran into the shadows without looking back.

"Hey! Dot! Wait, don't run! Green hurriedly stood up, only to feel a little dizzy, and angrily called the skeleton warrior over and chased him into the darkness.

Before running out of the first step, Green was panicked in his heart, where the little fox can run, it does not mean that he can get by as a big living person, not to mention that there is a bigger undead here, subconsciously, Green closed his eyes, ready to meet the intimate contact with the earthen wall.

Surprisingly, Green didn't feel any touch, just was pulled unhappily and ran into the flat darkness of the ground.

It seemed to be a corridor, wide enough that Green and Unhappy walked side by side without touching the walls on either side. It didn't look like a natural formation, the little fox didn't run fast, and Green took the time to touch the walls, feeling the uneven texture, and becoming more and more convinced that there was an artificial component here.

"But what kind of place is this? I didn't hear of an underground dungeon like this in the Misty Mountains. ”

In the early stage, the Misty Mountains were only open to the misty area, as a place for novice leveling, and later it was occupied by the undead's bone and blood legion, and it became a high-level monster area. Players have limited exploration of the Misty Mountains, only speculating from some fragments of literature and ruins that a certain tribe of humanoids lived or once lived in the Misty Mountains, and it is always a mystery what exactly exists in the Misty Mountains, let alone within the mountains.

The terrain was getting lower and lower, and Green was even more puzzled, and before he could figure out a leader, he was taken a big step by his displeasure, and he grabbed the skeleton's arm and slammed it back hard.

The Skeleton Warrior's strength was largely heavy and unaffected. Unhappy continued to drag Green forward, only to inexplicably turn his head back 360 degrees. Of course, this is just a description, and the skull face that seems to be fixed by a spell has no expression at all.

"Why are you going so fast, and you're not afraid of pulling eggs...... Uh......" Green reprimanded, his eyes falling to his unhappy crotch, "...... You didn't say anything to me. ”

So he turned back unhappily and inexplicably.

The young beast knew the passage well, and could find its way even in the dark, stopping from time to time, looking back at Grimm, and when the young man came into sight out of breath, he ran away quickly. The little guy may be too happy, or maybe he is simply drinking human blood and has excess energy, bouncing in front, Green following behind, almost suspecting that this is a bugs bunny disguised as a fox, and suddenly, a light in front of him reflected the little guy's white fur and red clear and shiny.

The gloom in Green's heart was suddenly swept away.

"We're coming out!"

The young man ran to the light with joy, and he was so excited that his feet suddenly emptied, but fortunately he was unhappy and always grabbed his arm, and at the critical moment he grabbed Green's wrist and pulled him out of the air with great force.

Lying down, lying down, this is the terrain made by the designer of which pit daddy, this height is enough to fall to death a level 100 warrior!

The cave was built on a cliff with a mountain path leading to the surface on the side, but there was only a foothold directly opposite the cave entrance. Green sat on the edge of the cliff and was afraid, his heart pounding. Looking back at the unhappy, I suddenly felt that it was not without merit.

At least faithful.

Green comforted himself in this way, but his heart only became more miserable.

I've been reduced to the point where loyalty is a pet advantage......

“Ki!”

Unhappily fluttering the jawbone, joining in the fun, and making meaningless syllables.

After resting on the edge of the cliff for a while, Green relieved himself before he had time to look at the environment under the cliff. At this glance, Green was stunned.

The scenery here is completely different from the Misty Forest, with the smell of sulfur in the air and the craggy rocks everywhere. The blue sky is obscured by the scorched yellow rock top, the large and small hanging rocks are hidden in the darkness, countless stalagmites like mountains echo it on the ground, the huge space is shrouded by the stone mantle, and the so-called bright light comes from the distant firelight, slightly illuminating this dim area. And this qiē, like a sharp carving knife, shaved away the rough stone that wrapped Grimm's memory, revealing that labyrinthine country.

"This is, Nikon!"

Green rubbed his stiff face and looked at the flickering red light, unable to believe it was real.

In the game, the standard underground creatures, the cave people, are bronze creatures created by one of the kings of the Golden Dome and the dark archmage, and finally due to the defeat of the kings of the evil camp, they were forced to move to the underground at the request of the chaos lord Misri, and finally established the kingdom of Nigon. In the plot, there does not seem to be a ruler in Nigon, and important matters are discussed by the great lords of various places, and it seems to be loosely structured, but it is an ancient regime that has stood since the Middle Ages, and it is also the only kingdom in the vast underground world.

Green stared at the familiar settlement and sighed involuntarily.

He still remembered how he had followed the large procession into Nigon. After the passage connecting the above-ground and underworld was opened, many players chose to enter the labyrinthine underground world. After the outbreak of the war, although the Kingdom of Nigon did not declare its membership in the Dark Alliance, many lords participated in the battle as mercenaries. Led by several large guilds, a large number of players flocked to various parts of Nigon, trying to attack the territory to force the participating lords to abandon their contracts with the Dark Alliance, but the result backfired, and the high lords were furious and declared an all-out war between the kingdom of Nigon and the good camp of Order, and the defeat was even more irretrievable.

At that time, Green was one of the members who followed the attack on Nigon, and was also one of the forces that pushed Nigon to the enemy.

"A bunch of stupid pigs." Green cursed in a low voice, not knowing if he was scolding the guild leaders or some young man who went with the flow.

After a moment of silence, Green suddenly felt a little excited.

The mistakes of the past can no longer be corrected, but here, he still has a chance, because in this world a qiē has not yet happened, and he still has time! He still has a chance!

The history of the game world can't be repeated, and I have to stop that, even ...... Draw Nigon into your side and fight against the evil faction!

The more Green thought about it, the more excited he became, and he immediately stood up from the ground.

"If an idea is not put into practice, it will always be a pipe dream."

The reborn young man said so, greeted him with a displeasure, turned around and walked down the mountain.

A soft sigh made Green's footsteps stop. He looked back and saw the young beast with large, dark eyes, standing at the mouth of the cave and staring at him steadily.

"Little thing, you...... Why don't you come with me? Green asked, and after being guided by the cub, he loved the cub even more.

The little fox stomped its paws hesitantly, and after a moment, its body slowly shrank back.

Green was a little sorry, he could understand the little one's fear of the outside world, and maybe for him, this road was his home. He sighed softly, remembering the phrase that had always been in his ear.

Encounter is a kind of relationship, and companionship is also a kind of relationship, and the shallow edge is deep and cannot be forced. After all, there are some fates that you can't ask for......

He looked up at the unhappy, who was dangling his lonely bony arms.

…… Some fates can't be pushed away.

"Let's go, Ano."

For the first time, Green called out to the skeleton warrior in a warm voice, and then dragged his tired body down the mountain slowly. The one-armed skeleton followed behind Green, and suddenly glanced back at the little fox, the soul fire in the dark eyes suddenly beating, startling the little fox, but he turned his head silently and walked crookedly down the mountain road.

The young beast lifted its front paws, struggling to support itself on its hind legs, and watched from afar as Green walked down the trail, and watched him and the skeleton drift away for a long time, as if they did not feel tired.

Finally, it suddenly looked up and stared at the dark sky in the distance, where a strange horror seemed to be brewing, waiting for Grimm below.

The little fox lowered its limbs suddenly, and it moved back and forth restlessly, as if feeling particularly anxious.

It looked at the empty hole in front of it, let out a delicate wail, then closed its eyes, and rushed forward as if it were dying.
