Chapter.42 The Men Sent to the Forbidden Land
When Xian Zimo entered the game again, the time in the game was already not far from the early hours of the morning. If he couldn't find any clues in the defender's camp, he had to go straight to the forbidden place and look for the black bear.
At this time, the message bar flashed again. It was a voice message from his female leader:
"Big-headed soldier, don't forget the tricks I taught you."
How can you forget? More memorable than what she said was the aches and pains she brought back from the basketball court this afternoon. Playing on the basketball court for hours this afternoon really made him tired like a grandson.
Originally, I thought it was to pass the time, but I have to say that taking a shower after exercising made him feel a lot more happy. Today is really a magical day.
"Alright, let's start the game." He said to himself, picking himself up.
As soon as I turned my head, not far away was the camp of the soldiers of the ancient capital. As during the day, there were patrolling soldiers around the camp.
"Boss, I hope you didn't cheat me." After talking to himself, Xian Zimo took out a pot of [Fruit Wine] from his backpack and strode towards the patrolling soldiers.
So, the same plot played out again:
"Hello, may I ask you something? I will repay you with this bottle of wine. โ
"Stay away from me, little fool hat who doesn't have long eyes!"
The soldier snatched the flask and swaggered forward.
Xian Zimo immediately followed, and when he saw the soldier drop the empty wine jug, he hurriedly ran up with the wine. Asked again, "Hello, I can ask you for a ......"
This time, the soldier didn't even have the patience to finish listening, he snatched the wine: "It's you again!" Idiot, are you here to ask me for a drink? โ
Soon, another empty flask was dropped on the ground. Xian Zimo met him again, and the third time, the soldiers even smiled when they saw him, but it was clearly a contemptuous smile. With such a smile, a new jug of wine once again fell into the hands of the soldiers.
Finally, after snatching the flask for the seventh time, the soldier staggered a few steps and fell to the ground. The state of his head has also changed from the previous [drunk] to [rotten drunk].
"This guy has a really good amount of wine, if it weren't for the black-hearted merchant who gave me a few bottles of wine in the afternoon, he really wouldn't have been able to pour him." Xian Zimo walked up to the soldier, looked at the soldier on the ground and tried to ask, "What's your name?" โ
"Cotton." It sounds a little vague, but it's an answer.
"That's fine, it seems that I'm quite reliable." Xian Zimo didn't waste any more time and asked what he wanted to know: "Is there anyone in your camp who will go to the Explorer's Forbidden Land late at night?" โ
"yes...... Hey, you, don't mess around, talk about it, the captain will get angry. โ
Xian Zimo frowned: "Why is he angry?" โ
"This thingใI can't let outsiders know, idiot!" The soldier replied in a tone of instruction. Drunk, he seems to have regarded the person he questioned as his comrade-in-arms.
"So, what are you going to do in the Forbidden Land?"
"What else can be done? Isn't it just a small path to send those people into the forbidden land? The soldier was a little impatient, but answered truthfully.
Xian Zimo had already faintly sensed something, and asked, "What are those people doing in the forbidden land?" โ
The soldier was drunk, and replied with a smile: "God knows! If you're curious, won't you follow along and see for yourself in a while? However, I heard that the last curious person never came back. โ
'There's action tonight!' Xian Zimo was startled, and almost at the same time, a prompt appeared in front of his eyes:
'Quest [Call of the Wild] has triggered an unexpected event: [Man Sent to the Forbidden Land]'
Sure enough, the inauguration task was not simple, but fortunately, he had already caught the clue. He just wanted to bow his head and continue to ask the soldier a few questions, but when he heard the voice, a shout sounded: "Hey! Imps over there! What are you doing? โ
It's the other patrol soldiers! The guy had apparently noticed something strange over here. It seemed that the interrogation had to come to an end, Xian Zimo didn't say a word, raised his legs and ran towards the bottom of the slope.
The soldier who found him in the rear was already an enemy unit with a red name, but after chasing him for some distance, he turned back to the camp. After running all the way to the ground, Xian Zimo was able to sit on the ground and rest.
Let's take a look at the unexpected event that was just triggered:
[Sent to the Forbidden Land]: It seems that the soldiers at the Defender's Camp are acting somewhat erratically. If drunks don't like to brag, then tonight they will also act. Go ahead and check it out and see if you can do something about it.
The words "do something" are particularly eye-catching, and no matter what you do in this game, it seems that you can't do it without your fists. As long as there are no accidents, there should be a battle in the event involved, and as for who the opponent is, it is difficult to say for the time being.
Xian Zimo spread out the surrounding map that he bought for 3 silver coins in the city, and it turned out that the 3 silver coins were not in vain. After that, some locations, maybe you want to spend money on a map, but you can't buy it.
The defenders camp to the forbidden ground, where the map shows a large road and a crooked path. Sheltered by high rocks and terrain, the trail is relatively secluded.
The drunkard had explicitly mentioned that they were sending people to the forbidden land from a path. Therefore, what Xian Zimo has to do is to find a hidden position on the path and wait quietly.
"Hurry up and let me get the task done, or all my experience will be wasted."
He muttered as he walked towards the path on the map. Hunger overcame the boundary, so he quickly took out the barbecue bread and ate it, the food sold in the main city was much better than that in the novice village.
But after dark, there is more than one person in the wild who wants to eat. Along the way, wild monsters of all sizes stopped and infested him, and by the time he found the path, he had not been able to finish his roast bread.
"That's it, I hope those guys don't keep me waiting too long." Along the way, his hands were already stained with blood, and Xian Zimo had no appetite to eat anymore. He simply threw the remaining mouthful of barbecue bread to a dying long-haired wolf by the intersection, and he killed this wild monster along the way, and this piece of bread was regarded as a pension.
By the time he hid between several boulders, it was already early in the morning. This is exactly the time that the black-hearted merchant said before, if there is no mistake, and someone will come soon.
Time passed minute by minute, and before I knew it, another half hour had passed. But not even half a figure passed on the path.
For half an hour, Xian Zimo waited quietly in the dark. He didn't quite understand why he became so patient as soon as he entered the game.
'Could it be that I drunk the soldiers before and made them suspicious and called off the operation?' He hesitated. After pondering for a while, he suddenly had a terrible thought: 'There is another possibility, these cunning fellows may know about the information and stop taking the trail!' โ
If that's the case, it's too bad, you have to get to the main road and see it! โ
"Quack!"
Just as Xian Zimo was about to leave the hiding place and head to the main road, his keen ears caught a clear voice. In fact, it wasn't his ears that were sharp, it was too quiet in the neighborhood, since the half-dead wolf at the intersection of the trail stopped howling.
And this voice is no stranger to him. Because he had made such a sound when he walked on the rocks before. Right! Someone's coming!
As it turned out, he just was thinking too much. The NPCs weren't as smart as they thought, they were still on this path, just a little late.
The sound is getting closer, closer and closer. There was already a flash of fire in his field of vision. Soon, a group of people passed in front of his eyes.
By the light of the torches in the hands of the two soldiers in front of and behind the line, he could just make out who was walking in the middleโfour unkempt men, wearing bracelets and leg cuffs.
Apparently, the soldiers were escorting the men to the forbidden ground...... As for what would happen, Xian Zimo could already roughly guess it in his heart. As for the requirement to "do something" in the accident, it now seems obvious.
At that moment, one of the members of the team turned to look at him. Those eyes seemed to be able to pinpoint his location in the darkness!
However, Xian Zimo was not ready to wait any longer, he had already rushed to the soldiers at the back of the team with a sprint.
