Chapter.28 The Scarlet Scramble VII. Bonds
A breeze swept by, but the irritable Longmian Valley was suddenly filled with a fragrance. It's not a refreshing aroma, but a food aroma that makes the worms restless.
Such a fragrance made Xian Zimo, who was guarding the front, smack his lips: "The sensory simulation in this game is really good. ”
The smell of the food came from the fire behind him, but it wasn't a delicious food roasted on the fire. It's just a piece of processed bone spice carried by the brown-haired NPC boy, and it didn't take long for the smell of the spice to rise with the white smoke.
In the boy's words, the smell was a sign for him to call for help from his partner, but apparently, the smell would not only notice his partner, but also the drooling beasts around him. Therefore, what Xian Zimo has to do is to ensure that this dead guy is not divided by the beast with a big appetite before the "reinforcements" in the NPC's mouth appear.
Indeed, if it weren't for the shock of 16 keels, no, the keels on the three of them should be a total of 20. I'm afraid that the red-named monsters around me can't hold it back for a long time, and they will pounce on it to share the food.
Although after the mission began, Xian Zimo could indeed see a decreasing hourglass of time, and he also knew that the "reinforcements" would arrive when the hourglass was completely reversed. However, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
The hourglass was flowing too slowly, and during this time, the other keel holders might be constantly vying for the keel's strength, and he could only stay here, occasionally hacking down one or two unknown red monsters. These red-name monsters tainted with dragon breath are very special, no matter how many times they are killed, they will not be "good".
So now it seems that he is simply wasting precious time.
However, in a hurry, he did not give up this task directly in the end. It's not that I'm reluctant to do the task, I can't wipe my face and the NPC turns my face or something. It's just out of habit - the task, either don't take it, if you want to take it, you must finish it.
Of course, if you want to sing high-pitched, this is a matter of professional ethics and literacy, at least that's what is said in vocational theory classes in college. Although there are generally no big consequences for turning their faces with NPCs, after all, a large part of the job of professional gamers is dealing with real players, taking various task lists from them, and if you don't even have this work ethic, it is really not easy to gain a foothold in the industry.
It's just that it wasn't a teacher or a textbook that passed on this concept to Xian Zimo. It's his smiling brother, he is just used to seeing his brother's persistence in a long-term relationship, and over time, that kind of attachment has subtly become his habit.
"Huh, senior brother......"
Xian Zimo casually punched and killed a pickaxe worm, and silently read it. Now that he retains this kind of persistence in the task, perhaps from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as a kind of remembrance of his senior brother. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a lot calmer.
After calming down, and then looking back, in fact, this task that suddenly appeared at the moment is a bit strange. Even though it's just an E-Class mission, it's now suddenly appearing in an S-Class Deeds mission......

But no matter how you look at it, you don't think there's anything special about this mission.
"Come on, it's not special, it's going to be done anyway."
With this awareness, Xian Zimo continued to hold on for 20 minutes, and there was not much sand left in the hourglass of that mission. But the sky was still empty.
"Gult, are you sure someone will come back to save you? Time is running out. Xian Zimo couldn't help but look back and asked. As the mountain moved, even though the beasts were afraid of the dragon bones, the terrain was forcing them towards the trio. If they don't leave, they will soon be overwhelmed by the beasts.
After hearing the question, Görth scratched his hair and smiled: "It should come, as for when it will arrive, I'm not sure." ”
"Damn!" Xian Zimo couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. "Boy, you're playing with me, aren't you?"
"No ......"
Before the boy could explain, he heard an eagle's chirp over the valley. As the eagle chirped, the embarrassment on the young man's face was swept away, and he was replaced by a smug smile: "Look! Here it goes! I said it would come! ”
Looking in the direction pointed by Görth, a conspicuous hot air balloon staggered in the air, and in front of the hot air balloon's gondola was a slightly immature black-feathered falcon, which was dragging the hot air balloon towards this direction. As for the reason why it came, it seems to be because of the fragrant white smoke......
"Look, that's my tamer Maurice, it's great!" Günther waved to the falcon in the air and said to Xian Zimo.
"Huh...... Oh, yes. Xian Zimo said with a grin. This pair of master and servant made him feel quite unreliable, but fortunately, the stupid bird finally came.
Soon, the falcon flew over the trio. It then flies back into the balloon and uses its beak to turn off the burner's flames. That skillful movement is obviously trained.
Watching the hot air balloon land little by little, Xian Zimo could finally breathe a sigh of relief. But the moment the hanging basket hit the ground, the black eagle pounced on the fire over there, pecked out the spices, and at the same time fanned the sparks to the boy and the elf next to him. For a while, the scene was a little chaotic again......
"Stupid bird! What are you doing? ”
"Bang!"
"Water, water! Whew~ It almost burned up......"
After a while, the scene settled down.
'What an unreliable guy. Xian Zimo complained in his heart, and said, "Okay, get in your hot air balloon and get out of here." Are you sure you want to take this elf with you, though? Aren't you afraid that she will kill you? ”
Previously, under the boy's obstruction, the dark elf was beaten to a near-death state and was not ended, but was tied up and thrown aside. And now, the boy has stuffed her into his hanging basket.
"It's all tied so strongly, how can you kill me? Moreover, out of this valley, she has no reason to kill me, right? Gölt replied with a relaxed smirk. It's like you've forgotten that you almost had your head cut off by a dark elf not long ago.
Since the NPC is determined by this, Xian Zimo has nothing to consuade. watched the boy get into the hot air balloon, and then rose high into the air little by little.
"Mo, thank you so much! I won't forget your kindness! The boy shouted with his hands in mid-air.
'Complete the mission [Escape from the Battlefield], rating: Perfect'
'Reward: 80 XP'
' +50 opinion
'Form a level 5 bond with : [Life-saving benefactor]'
"Oh! I almost forgot, Mo, these keels you followed. There was another shout, and the four keels were dropped.
Xian Zimo caught them accurately below, and the three pieces connected were the keels of the dark elves, which actually increased the "technical" attribute at the same time, and the one that belonged to Gongerte was actually a rare "lucky" keel.
Looking up at the hot air balloon flying higher and higher, and then looking at the young man waving goodbye to him in the air, he couldn't help but think of his eldest nephew Cao Le. is also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old sunny boy, who is also a small ghost, and often does unreliable things......
At this time, a dark shadow passed in front of his eyes and rushed straight into the hot air balloon in the air. "What's that?" He was shocked and looked closely. Only then did I find that the flying insects that had gathered in the valley at some point were aiming at the hot air balloon in the air. Apparently they weren't going to send them off.
"Oh no, without the dragon bone, you will be besieged by all the dragon's breath creatures!" Xian Zimo suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted into the air: "Günther! Hurry up and rise!! ”
"What did you say?" An equally melodious reply came from the air.
I said...... Uncle's! It's too late. Xian Zimo, who was powerless, could only watch the swarm of insects in the air fly towards the hot air balloon together and attack it in groups. Just as his heart was tugging, an eagle's chirp sounded again.
Unlike before, this eagle chirp exuded a shuddering spirit.
There was a flash of blue light in the air, as if some magic array had been triggered. There was suddenly a black behemoth in front of the hot air balloon...... No, it's not extra, it's always there, it's the Black Hawk!
The appearance of the black eagle made the surrounding flying insects stop their movements for a while. As a result, the hot air balloon flew high and undangered. And above came the heartless voice again: "Goodbye, Mo!" You've got to find the dragon egg! ”
Gölte with goggles on, and Black Hawk protecting him...... Xian Zimo finally remembered why he thought he was familiar - the boy on the game poster!
