Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Crisis All the Way
The time in the game corresponds to reality, and now in the game, the sky has gradually begun to darken, and Lin Chen walked slowly with Nicole, an elf with a pair of thin wings on her back.
According to Lin Chen's experience, one of the important points of this task of protecting the hostages is to have a good relationship with the hostages, Lin Chen remembered that in his previous life, there were some teams that treated the tasks in the game as if they were other games, but the hostages finally went crazy, resulting in a complete failure of the mission, which Lin Chen would not make.
"Nicole, are you tired?"
Nicole looks like a human, but her ears are thin and pointed, and her face is exquisite, like porcelain, giving it a sense of unreality.
Behind her, there are a pair of transparent slender wings that can make her fly, and she is only half the height of an ordinary person, but other than that, she is a little beauty.
"Hmm."
Flying Nicole nodded her delicate head, Lin Chen smiled, and pointed to the big tree on the side:
"Let's go there and rest for a while."
Sitting in the shade of the tree, Lin Chen looked at Nicole a little strangely:
"You're an elf, and those guys in the fairy kingdom are elves, how did you live together?"
Nicole's expression was visibly a little downcast:
"I am a creature born from the tree of life, and the elves live on the tree of life, and we have lived on each other since ancient times."
"Oh."
Lin Chen scratched the tip of his nose, he really didn't know much about this matter.
"Since you were conceived by the Tree of Life, why did you come here? It doesn't seem that the temple of annihilation is not something that ordinary people can enter, right? ”
For all this, Lin Chen was really a little strange.
Elf Nicole looked a little timid. She replied in a low voice:
"Because...... Because those fairy sisters don't like me. They...... They said I wasn't a monster. And they don't look the same......"
"Nonsense, elves are not the same as goblins."
Lin Chen was noncommittal.
"You don't have to worry, the people in our team are very good, you don't have to be afraid of them, even if you scare them with pranks, it's fine."
In order to establish a good relationship with this NPC hostage, Lin Chen betrayed Li Quan and the others without righteousness.
"Really?"
The elf's eyes lit up.
"Of course, you can rest assured."
Nicole smiled happily at first, and then didn't know what came to mind. The head was lowered again. Lin Chen looked at her and suddenly asked:
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? ”
Elf Nicole touched her little belly without fat, and said happily:
"I want to eat fruit."
This made Lin Chen stunned:
"Fruits are borne on plants, you are an elf, like a fairy, it shouldn't hurt plants, right?"
Nicole wrinkled her nose:
"But...... But plants produce fruit that is meant to be eaten. ”
Saying this, Lin Chen reacted suddenly. Plants produce fruit for animals to eat, and then use the animal's body to scatter the seeds elsewhere, which is a direct way for plants to pass on their ancestors. It doesn't count as harm.
"Okay, let's go find out where the fruit is."
Lin Chen took the elf Nicole. I found a lot of fresh fruits in the bushes, and happily was hugged in my arms by Nicole, with an intoxicated expression.
"I never dreamed I would get so much fruit."
Nicole was very happy, and Lin Chen raised her eyebrows:
"Isn't there any fruit in the realm of the elves? I remember there were a lot of fruit trees. ”
When it comes to the fairy kingdom, Nicole's expression is a little depressed:
"I was locked up in a small black house by my brothers and sisters, I was not allowed to go out casually, I could only eat one fruit a day, and if my brothers and sisters forgot, I would have to go hungry for a day......"
Lin Chen looked at Nicole slowly, feeling that she didn't seem to want to go back to the fairy realm.
"Nicole, tell me honestly, don't you want to go back?"
Elf Nicole nodded first, then shook her head and remained silent.
"If you don't want to go back to the fairy kingdom, then we won't go back."
Lin Chen had already heard that this little elf Nicole had escaped from the fairy realm, so naturally she wouldn't want to go back there.
"But ......"
The elf was a little hesitant.
"It's okay, I used to hunt the Immortal God Bird, nothing can stump your brother and me!"
"Brother......
Nicole muttered.
"That's right, I'm your brother, if Nicole wants, she can follow her brother, and she won't need to go back to the fairy kingdom in the future."
Lin Chen's chest was beating, and the elf Nicole tilted her cute head and looked at Lin Chen:
"Brother, that Nicole has to follow her brother every day, Nicole is a happy elf!"
smiled happily, Lin Chen naturally had a big package. He doesn't think that the system will let an NPC follow the player, not to mention that this NPC is still the object of hatred of all kinds of wild monsters, and even the city is forbidden to enter, so it seems that Ni will not follow the player all the time.
Lin Chen, who has several years of experience, has been calculating the gains and losses of this task in his heart, if he sends Nicole directly to the fairy country, the reward will definitely be limited, and from Nicole's experience, there must be some hidden task on her body.
After walking for a while, it was completely dark. Lin Chen set up a tent on the ground and lived in a tent with Nicole.
"It's been a day, let's sleep here for the night."
Lin Chen is a player, and theoretically there is no way for him to fall asleep in the game, so he has no intention of sleeping.
"Ahh
Nicole was bled a lot today, and she flew for a while, and she was indeed tired. He fell asleep as soon as he fell, but Lin Chen stayed outside the tent and followed the system's prompts. The elf could not stay. Otherwise, it will attract a large number of monsters. Lin Chen must be extra cautious outside the tent, and he must leave immediately!
After waiting for a while, the number of monsters spawned by the system at night was obviously less, and Lin Chen was looking for an area that was basically free of monsters, which seemed very deserted.
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Chen gradually recalled the feeling of a peak player in the same place. He was sure that his peak consciousness was not gone, but hidden in the depths of his mind.
Standing quietly in place, the peak consciousness played back in Lin Chen's mind little by little. It was a sense of déjà vu, as if it could be grasped, but it was as if it could never be grasped.
After closing his eyes and pondering for an unknown amount of time, maybe an hour had passed, or maybe three hours had passed, Lin Chen opened his eyes suddenly.
"Uhhh
An earth-shattering wolf howl came faintly from afar. Lin Chen wanted to go out and have a look, but he was afraid that it would not be too dangerous for Nicole to stay here, so he had to look into the jungle not far away. I saw a pair of eerie eyes appear in the jungle, and the leaves rustle. This made Lin Chen's heart skip a beat, and he put away the tent suddenly. Pick up the petite Nicole on her back and start running!
"Brother, what's going on?"
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Nicole was a little curious. But when she took a closer look, she was scared, and a large group of hungry wolves in the rear were running wildly, chasing in the direction of Lin Chen's running!
"Brother!"
Elf Nicole panicked for a while, and couldn't help but grab Lin Chen's clothes.
"Nicole, are you scared?"
Lin Chen increased his speed to the limit, but the trees were full of branches, and Lin Chen had to avoid these trees in the dark, and there was an elf Nicole on his back, Lin Chen's speed was greatly restricted.
"Don't be afraid, with my brother and Nicole together, Nicole is not afraid."
Elf Nicole closed her eyes in panic, but still gritted her teeth and said.
In the midst of running wildly, a hungry wolf suddenly pounced in front of him, which made Lin Chen feel shocked, and he quickly stopped and dodged the hungry wolf's attack sideways.
At the same time, a large group of hungry wolves behind him also pounced, surrounding Lin Chen in the middle at once. The current situation is very serious, with Lin Chen's skills, there is no problem in dodging the pounce of the wolves, and he can even fight back. But with an elf Nicole on her back, that's different.
"It's okay brother, Nicole can fly."
Nicole broke free from Lin Chen's arms and flew into the air.
"Not good!"
At this moment, a black panther suddenly jumped out of the branch, bit Nicole's arm, and climbed the tree fiercely!
"Damn it!"
Lin Chen was furious, watching the black panther sharp teeth pierce Nicole's arm deeply, he jumped up from the wolves, kicked the nearest tree, and then rebounded the force smoothly climbed the other branches, and at the same time jumped rapidly, and soon caught up with the black panther, a stun stunned the black panther, saved Nicole, and protected her by his side.
"Nicole, are you alright?"
Nicole's little face looked a little pale in the moonlight, and she smiled reluctantly:
"It's okay brother, don't worry about Nicole."
Now Lin Chen no longer has the fountain of life in his hand, after thinking about it, Lin Chen took out a can of blood bottle and poured it directly on Nicole's wound site, and it really had an effect. I saw that the bloody tooth marks gradually disappeared, and Nicole's arm was completely healed.
"Thank you, brother, Nicole is fine."
The elf smiled again, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but then grabbed Nicole with his arm and ran, and directly a python with a bowl mouth came out of the pitch-black branch and bit Nicole where she was standing just now!
"It's too dangerous here, let's get out of here."
Lin Chen shook off the wolves, jumped down from the tree, except for the jungle, and accelerated to flee into the distance.
The night passed peacefully, but Lin Chen, who had never rested, was obviously a little unbearable, and felt a little dizzy in his head.
"Tatsuko, I'm here, where are you now? I'm looking for you. ”
Li Quan's message came, and this guy was finally online. Lin Chen sent the coordinates over, and after a while, Li Quan rushed over with Wang Gang and Yang Hao.
"How are you three?"
The combination of a mage, a warrior and a knight, Lin Chen always felt a little strange.
"We were in a dormitory, of course, in a group. It's hard to stay up all night, right? Tatsuko, you go to sleep first, and I'll change you when I get back. ”
Li Quan patted his chest and signaled to reassure Lin Chen.
"But...... Nicole wants to be with her brother. ”
The elf grabbed Lin Chen's arm, and when Yang Hao saw this scene, he roared angrily:
"Tatsuko, you ...... for such a small elf Livestock, livestock, why doesn't this kind of good thing fall on my chic and handsome body? Could it be that God is jealous of talents? ”
Yang Hao had a look of beating his chest, and Wang Gang immediately despised him:
"Can't you grow longer?"
"Nice, don't worry, these are my brother's good friends, and they will take care of you. My brother is just going to go back to sleep, and when my brother wakes up and has the strength, he will help you pick the fruit. ”
Lin Chen comforted the elf on the side, and the elf Nicole nodded sensibly:
"Then brother, go and rest, Nicole will be very well-behaved."
After getting the elf, Lin Chen quit the game and began to fall asleep on the bed in the dormitory. This sleep directly passed noon, Lin Chen felt hungry in his stomach, so he immediately went out to find something to eat. After coming back, Lin Chen entered the game again, but immediately received a message from Ximeng.
"Feel free, you hurry up, Nicole is in danger now!"
After receiving the coordinates of Ximeng, Lin Chen immediately found the nearest city, and then used the return city scroll to rush over. From the nearby map, Lin Chen could clearly see that the icons of the team members were constantly moving, and with the advantage of speed, Lin Chen finally caught up.
"Random boss, you're finally here!"
The roommate gasped for breath, and the elf Nicole was lying in Ximeng's arms with a depressed expression.
"What happened?"
Lin Chen ran over, frowning.
"Tatsuko, it's the temple, it's the ancient temple, and the hell it's catching up!"
Yang Hao shouted loudly, and several people were still running. Taking advantage of this space, Lin Chen glanced at it from a distance and found that there was indeed a shadow in the sky in the distance, but he couldn't see what it was.
Seeing this, Lin Chen remembered the Alma Scepter in the inventory, and that Scepter might have been used to destroy this temple.
"Look, there's a city ahead!"
The roommate who ran the fastest spotted the city in front of him and couldn't help but shout.
"That...... It seems to be the city of the Blood Alliance. ”
Ximeng could see at a glance that something was wrong, several people in the city of the Blood Alliance Guild were directly teleported from the main city in the east, and no one had found out exactly where on the map of the main city, but they didn't think of building it here.
"Since it's a union city of the Blood Alliance......"
Lin Chen's expression moved.
"You guys will go back to the city directly, hand over Nicole to me, and I'll go around the city of the Blood Alliance."
Lin Chen has stealth skills, so naturally he will not be discovered so easily. Ximeng and the others also understood this, nodded, and quickly crushed the scroll back to the city and left.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
Looking at the direction in which Lin Chen was running, Elf Nicole was obviously limited and dazed.
"Brother will take you to see the excitement."
"What are you going to show Nicole?"
"Hot dog-eat-dog!" (To be continued......)
