Collective Crossing Chapter 182 Set Sail (End of Volume 1)
"Whew! It's finally here! Although I was in a hurry this time, it was unexpectedly easy! "The novice adventurer of the town of Caro has arrived at the entrance to the village of Dom. Although there may be a gap between them in the middle level, almost all the goblins along the way have been cleaned up by Li Yuan and his party, and they have not encountered any decent obstacles.
"It's just that we almost all arrived at the same time, how do we divide the rankings?" Someone asked. To spice things up, the old mayor has set the rules that give the top 50 teams an extra gold reward.
"I'm sorry, everyone, and I'm sorry to tell you that there are no rewards for this mission." After the crowd, Zhang Li was silent for a long time and spoke. His voice was as good as ever, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"No rewards? Are you kidding? ”
"Hey, what's going on? Why did we travel all night here? At this point, you're telling me that there are no quest rewards? ”
"No wonder I feel a little strange about this mission, and now I can't even trust the official words?"
"Yes, yes! What do you mean? Give me an explanation! ”
…………
In the crowd, a burst of noise erupted, and a group of people surrounded Zhang Li in a circle, wanting to rush him.
"I'm sorry, the person who came up with this plan is me, not Brother Zhang!" At this time, Li Yuangao raised his hand and said in a loud voice.
The novice adventurers in Carrow Town turned their heads to look at him, looking unkind, feeling like they had been tricked. Even if Li Yuan had made great contributions to the conquest of the desert locusts, he could not calm the resentment in everyone's hearts.
"The purpose of this mission is not to raise the courage of the children, but to get us away from the town of Carlo." Li Yuanmian did not change his color.
"Huh?! Escape the town of Caro? Why flee? "Some people questioned.
"Because we have detected that an evil force in the depths of the southern seas has launched an attack on the town of Caro. It's not something we can resist, and we can't save everyone, so we have to take the children of Caro and flee to Dom, and then take a boat from Dom. Li Yuan paused when he said this:
"This evil force has something to do with the anomaly of the Desert Locust Army - I learned about it after defeating the Desert Locust Grand Commander."
This is Huo Siqi, no, Chiba Eri asked him to make an excuse, in order to avoid exposing her existence.
After listening to him, there was a bustle below.
"I see, I said that Li Yuan doesn't look like such an unreliable person."
"Uh...... What is that evil force? ”
"Where is there any evil force, it is clear that this Li Yuan and the old mayor have played us and want to swallow our reward, so they made an excuse! You say, don't you? Brat! A man with blonde hair and a fair appearance, but with a fierce face, turned his head sideways and asked:
"Don't try to pretend to be garlic for me, I've seen a lot of this kind of trick!"
"Yes, I heard a message from a friend in Dom Town, saying that this Li Yuan seems to have killed someone and is going to be judged to be a red name, and at this time he wants to cheat us out of our money and run away!" A man with burgundy hair and a pockmarked face said to everyone.
"What? Is there such a thing? ”
"Murderer! Oh, my God! I'm with someone like that! ”
…………
"Everyone, please listen to me!" Seeing that the emotions of the people below were showing signs of getting out of control, Li Yuan hurriedly spoke: "This time the incident is true, I have never deceived everyone...... And I'm not going to be greedy for everyone's money, really! If you don't believe you, you can ask if you meet the old mayor. ”
You'll never see the old mayor again...... Li Yuan muttered sadly in his heart. It's just that he won't tell them this, and in order to calm everyone's emotions, he can only move out of the old mayor.
"At that time, I was afraid that the old mayor would be gone!" The blonde scolded loudly: "I told you, I've seen a lot of this kind of trick!" Still playing us like monkeys? ”
"Yes, yes!"
"I'm telling you, I didn't see the money today, and we're not done with you!"
…………
The people below chimed in.
"Everyone......" Li Yuangang wanted to speak, but was "Shut up!" Give me back! "Don't give me any of these things!" "You can still believe the nonsense of a red name?" Such words drown.
"Humph! Won't you even deal with this little thing? Just when Li Yuan was embarrassed and at a loss, Ah Long appeared behind him at some point, helped his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, walked in front of everyone, and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll give you two choices, one is to disband on the spot after taking the money, and the other is to obey our command until we send you to the Tian Yuan Continent."
"Those who ask for money stand on the left, and those who want to follow us stand on the right!" Ah, the dragon stretched out his hand and gestured.
Hearing him say this, the people below were talking again, and after some discussion, someone came out and stood in the line on the right. Seeing him like this, a group of people hesitated and moved to the right.
Seeing this, the golden plate snorted coldly: "What kind of evil force, believe this kind of thing that deceives children, it's really stupid!" ”
With that, he walked to the left.
Immediately after, the man with burgundy hair and pockmarked face spat on the ground: "A bunch of fools! He strode to the left.
Some others followed him to the left.
Ah, the dragon looked at them silently. Until everyone was settled, he took out a large bag of gold coins, fifty for each person, and divided them.
The man standing on the left took the gold coin, and his face softened slightly. So, Ah Long said, "You can disband." ”
"And the imps?" The blonde head snorted at the stunned group of children on the side.
"Just leave it to me, you don't have to worry." Zhang Li interjected.
"Well, that's good, when you can save it, they say that we will leave the child and ask us to get the gold coins back." With that, the blonde took the lead and left.
The people on the left scattered, and before leaving, the burgundy haired man with a pockmarked face walked forward and sneered at the person standing on the right: "Go away from any evil forces!" ”
The face of the person standing on the right side was a little unnatural, and he turned his head to look at Ah Long, his eyes flashing. Seeing this, Ah Long didn't care, but said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone else leaving?" If you still have to leave, you can still get the money, but if you don't have to, you won't have to. ”
In the crowd, four more people hesitated to walk out of the line, received the money and left.
Ah Long asked again, and after seeing that no one was out of the queue this time, he clapped his hands, coldly threw down the words "follow me", and rushed to the direction of the dock with the group.
…………
On the inky black sea, the whining of whistles came from far and near, and the ships dotted with ships broke through the deep night and sailed towards the dock, docking at the dock.
Under the command of Sisol and the Bentaro family, the novice adventurers boarded the ship in an orderly manner.
"It's really rare, I thought it would be a little more chaotic...... The novice adventurers in Dom Town don't seem to be so obedient, right? Li Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and was a little surprised.
"Well, this is thanks to your big money friend, after hearing about this, he helped to publicize and arrange it very carefully." Huo Siqi held her cheek in her left hand and said lazily.
Because of the woman's competitiveness, she revealed her true identity in front of Wu Zhi, but later she told Li Yuan that it was best to call her Huo Siqi.
In her words: "Chiba Eri is a ninja who wants to hide in the shadows, and if it is exposed, it will ......"
Her words were crisp and soft, but she squinted her eyes and saw that Li Yuan's gaze was like a female fox staring at her prey, which made Li Yuan shiver all over her body.
"All the novice adventurers in Dom have been advised?" Li Yuan was surprised.
"Not really, most of them." Huo Siqi said lightly: "Although your friend's influence is not bad, but he is not the kind of person who believes anything he says...... People's hearts are still quite complicated, haven't you seen it just now? ”
"What about those who do not believe?" Li Yuan asked.
"Who knows?" Huo Siqi said disapprerovingly: "We have a limited number of ships, and we can only transport so many people...... Whoever believes will go up. ”
"Uh, yes." Originally, Li Yuan wanted to say more, but when he remembered what happened before, he no longer dwelled on it.
After boarding the boat, Huo Siqi and Li Yuan notified Director Wang of the Law Enforcement Bureau that he would arrange people to choose some people who were more practical and would not talk nonsense on the ship-preferably in the previous incident, and there were no people who were not upset with Li Yuan.
Prior to this, Huo Siqi made it clear: "If anyone dares to make trouble on the ship, I will drive you all down." Remember, saving you is just my doing, not my obligation, I only do my best, but I will never bind myself with any ridiculous savior, and naturally I will not accept the moral bondage of others. ”
After hearing this, Director Wang of the Law Enforcement Bureau looked very serious, and he agreed to come down from time to time, and arranged for manpower to deal with the matter overnight.
It was bright and the sun was rising behind the eastern hillside, and it was about seven o'clock. At the docks, boats of all sizes were full of people.
"Director Wang, we're leaving, come up quickly!" On a small boat, a member of the team wearing the uniform of the law enforcement team shouted at the back of Director Wang of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
In the town of Dom, breakfast shops opened, and gradually people went out. After a night's rest, the town came back to life.
Among the novice adventurers in Caro Town who chose to dismiss with money last night, the blonde head walked out of the hotel door, scratched his ears, and cursed:
"Damn, I was put together by the old thing and Li Yuan's cub, and I came all the way here, saying that Caro Town would be attacked by evil forces? Scold! The point is that it's ridiculous to be stupid - to believe this. ”
"Whatever, didn't the last one named Ah Long pay us anyway? It's good to get the reward for the mission. Beside him, the man with burgundy hair and pockmarked face threw and caught the cloth bag in his hand, threw it and caught it, and played back and forth.
In the cloth bag, the gold coins rattled.
Several of them found a breakfast shop on the side of the road in the hotel and sat down, and shouted inside: "Boss, come eight meat buns and four bowls of soy milk!" ”
Shouting, remembering that he just earned fifty gold coins yesterday, and he is rich! Then he added: "I am adding four chicken legs and four tea eggs"
"Okay! ~" The pleasant voice of a middle-aged man sounded inside.
"Huh!" The man with burgundy hair and pockmarked face yawned: "Let's go back after breakfast, counting the cost of the breakfast hotel, we will all make a profit." ”
"Hmm." At the table, the other three chimed in.
After waiting for a while, the owner of the breakfast shop brought freshly baked and steaming steamed buns to the table.
Because of the late arrival last night, there was nothing to eat, and the four people who had been hungry all night were immediately aroused by the smell of incense, and they were no longer polite, they reached out to grab the buns and stuffed them into their mouths.
Gently biting down, with a sonic sound, the salty juice seeped out from the skin of the white flower, stained the tip of the tongue, poured into the mouth, and suddenly the mouth was full of fragrance, and the spirit of the whole body seemed to be stretched.
"Uh-uh!" The burgundy-haired, pockmarked man groaned in satisfaction, only to think that this visit to Dom Town was worth it.
Just as he felt fluttering, the corner of his eye suddenly saw the horizon in the distance, as if there was a little more unusual color.
"What's that?" He stood up.
When he said this, the other three people at his table also stood up one after another and raised their eyes to look.
I saw a huge cloud drifting towards this side at a speed unimaginable to normal people, quickly obscuring the daylight.
Woo! The sound of the wind was terrible, like a ghost's howl, and it struck the window pane violently, causing it to tremble violently. The four of them raised their arms one after another, covering their foreheads, only to feel that the wind and sand were so big that they couldn't open their eyes, and their sleeves were agitated.
"Ahh ~" Suddenly, across the street, the woman's sharp screams rang out, and their hearts chuckled. The four of them glanced at each other, and panic began to rise in their hearts.
Bang! The screams continued, and suddenly there was another sound of wood breaking ahead. They turned their heads sharply, and saw that at some point, not far away, a dark figure stood on a broken wooden table, holding a shadow spear in his hand.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! The man who had been sitting at the wooden table was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, his mouth open, his hands and feet back, and his expression frightened.
The burgundy-haired man's pupils shrank sharply, and the back of the shadow seemed to him to be familiar, having fought alongside him when he was fighting against the desert locusts......
The shadow lifted the inked spear in his hand, struck in a familiar position, and quickly lunged forward—many times faster than before, and sent a shot into the belly of the man who was slumped on the ground, popping out from behind.
The man who sat on the ground opened his eyes wide, whimpered, and looked down at his belly in a daze. Blood seeped from his body, staining his leather armor black—and then the darkness grew and merged with the shadows beneath his feet. until it is completely devoured.
"Ahh Yes! The man with burgundy hair and pockmarked face took two steps back in horror and covered his mouth.
He looked at the appearance of blood oozing out, just like the feeling when the juice in the steamed bun meat filling slowly flowed into his mouth, the original fragrance turned into a fishy smell, and his stomach turned over for a while, kneeling on the ground, retching heavily.
The black shadow turned slowly, eyes that looked like people, but stared at him with hollow, nothing.
The burgundy haired man with pockmarks on his face felt a chill rise from his tail and rush straight into his brain.
With a snort, the black shadow disappeared ghostly, and by the time the man with burgundy hair and pockmarked face reacted, the black shadow had already appeared in front of him.
Pupils constricted—the burgundy-haired man, "Ah! With an exclamation, he fell to the ground.
The shadow raised the spear in his hand and stabbed sharply.
The burgundy-haired man lost his voice and closed his eyes. It was only in the next moment that he felt a cool breeze blowing on his face.
When he opened his eyes, the pitch-black shadow spear stopped in front of his door, and the head of the spear trembled slightly.
The burgundy-haired man's mind went blank for a moment, and he looked up at the shadow blankly. There was a little more sparkle in the hollow eyes of the faintly shadow--that feeling, struggling? He didn't know, and he couldn't think.
Immediately after, I saw the shadow suddenly holding his face and tearing his face. Its fingers sank into its face, and vanished as if it had disappeared into shadows. Its body is twisting, is it screaming with its head up?
Is it really screaming? There was silence all around. It's just that he made a movement like a human struggle, and the burgundy haired man was very afraid, and his crotch was already wet for some time.
Suddenly, the shadow suddenly disappeared.
Bang! In the silent air, there was another loud crisp sound, and the shadow flickered in front of the breakfast shop owner, and a single shot nailed him to the wall, and black blood splattered all over the wall of the breakfast shop.
"Ahh ~" The burgundy-haired man finally woke up from a dream, got up from the ground in a hurry, and ran in the direction of the dock like crazy.
Lose your marbles! Lose your marbles! Everybody's crazy...... He stumbled, his face covered with tears, and he didn't know if he was crying or not.
…………
On the dockside, Director Wang of the Law Enforcement Bureau turned his back to everyone, looking at the thick black clouds surging in, his expression struggling. Behind him, "Director, Director Wang!" The sound kept echoing.
The sword was halfway out of its sheath and trembled violently.
"Director Wang, let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late! A familiar voice sounded, it was Captain Zhang's. He got out of the boat and grabbed Director Wang's hand, trying to stop his madness.
The Chief of Enforcement struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, put his sword back into its sheath, and quickly boarded the boat with him.
Seeing him on board, Ah Long stood by the dock and shouted, "Set sail!" ”
The whining whistle roared, the engines stirred the sea violently, the white foam gurgled upwards, and the boats of all sizes gradually drifted off the shore.
Finally, the burgundy-haired man ran to the dock, saw that the ship had set sail, panted violently, and shouted from afar, "Wait, I was wrong!" Wait for me! Save me! ”
He was joined by a large group of terrified-looking people, both novice adventurers and townspeople.
Ah Long tilted his head slightly, helped his eyes, and indifferently spit out a sentence: "It's late!" ”
After that, he flipped his hand, and a speedboat appeared on the sea, he got on the speedboat, and immediately shook his head at Li Yuan, Lin Xiaoxin, and Lin Yinyin: "Come on, three sinners on probation." ”
"We all said we had a reason!" Lin Yinyin got on the boat angrily and sat in the back. Li Yuan and Lin Xiaoxin followed behind her, and Li Yuan sat in front of her, together with Ah Long.
"They want to escape! Fast! Grab them and grab their speedboat! The burgundy-haired man was stunned at this, and in shock he roared and sped up and ran towards the speedboat.
Ah Long glanced at them, stepped on the accelerator, and with a roar, a long white spray exploded in the sea, leaving the chasing man far behind.
The burgundy-haired man stopped at the end of the dock and watched the speedboat move away, yelling and cursing unwillingly.
Not far from him, Huo Siqi, who was transparent and dim, put on a silver fox mask, covering the bewitching face and her expression.
She glanced at those who were panting and even jumping into the sea to chase after them, lowered her eyebrows, and sighed faintly: "Sometimes the choice of fate is often just a thought......
Anyway, tiptoe a little, fall silently on the surface of the sea, tread water, no waves.
