Chapter 118: Lost and Found

After chasing the smoke produced by the soul chasing incense all the way for nearly 100 kilometers, I finally understood why Yiwen Taoist would be so generous in the first place, and gave me a soul chasing incense at one time! This soul chasing incense can track the target, but in fact it is useless at all. It's like I'm now, it's only past 10 o'clock in the morning when I get this soul chasing incense and leave Tianzhu Mountain, it's already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, I'm actually running around chasing that smoke, I knew it would be like this, I should have asked those heavenly soldiers if there was any other solution, after all, this thing is too troublesome. Although the smoke from the soul chasing incense had been flying in the direction of the target, it was only moving slightly faster than a person running on foot. You must know that the other party may be in any place, and people are not waiting for me, in case he uses the teleportation array to go somewhere else before the smoke catches him, this smoke has to turn around and continue to chase, and if you want to follow this smoke to find the target, you can only follow behind and run slowly, joining the person who holds the soul chasing incense is tracking a busy person like me who is always running back and forth in various places, it is estimated that he will never want to chase me for the rest of his life, because every time the soul chasing incense has not reached my location, I will teleport to another place.

"Master, this thing is too slow, when will we have to follow it like this?" Nightshade asked me as she followed the unhurried smoke.

I was already extremely depressed by the speed of this smoke, and now I was even more sad to hear Nightshade's words. "Hey...... I shouldn't have wanted this thing in the first place! ”

"Master." Suddenly, Victoria's voice sounded in the psychic contact.

"What for?"

"Actually, I think you made a mistake."

"Am I mistaken? What am I mistaken? "Victoria's words make a difference to me.

"It's the soul-chasing incense. My Taoist didn't give you a handful because he didn't care about that thing, but that thing was meant to be used one by one. ”

"What?" was stunned by Victoria, and then took the large handful of soul-chasing incense in his hand and looked at it suspiciously. "You mean to set this one on fire all at once?"

"No, I mean one at a time, just like using a compass. As you've seen along the way, the smoke it produces doesn't turn around at all, but keeps drifting in the direction of the target, so we just need to light a soul chasing incense, then fly quickly for a long distance in the direction it is moving, and then click it again to make sure that the direction is correct. If you accidentally chase it, it's a big deal to go back and chase it a lot faster than this, isn't it? ”

"Damn, why did that miser of my Taoist suddenly become generous, I have been doing this soul-chasing incense for a long time!"

In fact, many things in life are like this, it seems complicated, in fact, it is just that we get the wrong entry point and the direction of force, as long as we find the right goal, in fact, many things are easy to solve.

With Victoria's Jianyì, I immediately put the night shadow back, and then summoned the flying bird to fly forward for more than a hundred kilometers in one breath before stopping and lighting a soul chasing incense again, only to find that the smoke from the soul chasing incense was still flying forward, thanks to Victoria reminding me, if I still follow the smoke, it is estimated that I will have to wait until the evening to catch up on this place, and if I really chase for so long, people will have to change places halfway, after all, it is unlikely that a player will stay in one place in a row without moving.

Using this method, every time I flew more than 100 kilometers, I stopped and lit a soul chasing incense to measure the direction, and then I was stunned to chase nearly 2,000 kilometers before I found that the smoke produced by the soul chasing incense pointed to my side. Obviously, the flight just now produced a little bit of direction error, and the other party should be nearby, otherwise it would not be possible for the slightest error to make the direction of the smoke change so much. Since it was already very close, this time I didn't do any more jump-tracking, but retracted the bird and followed the smoke on foot

This time it was very fast, only a few hundred meters I found a cliff in front of me, and unexpectedly there was a city gate on the cliff more than ten meters above the ground, and in front of the city gate was a long approach bridge that was convenient for people outside to follow the approach bridge to the same height as the city gate. Judging by the direction of the smoke, that guy should be in the mountain behind the city gate, but the city is so unique that it really takes a lot of work to get in.

Scattering the smoke with my hand, I carefully followed the plants in the forest to the edge of the cliff. After activating the cloak's invisibility function and using Amenes' illusion to make myself invisible, I immediately climbed the cliff and gradually moved down the cliff to the gate.

In fact, my target was not the gate, but a row of small holes in the gate. The fact that the gate was built on a cliff means that the interior of the mountain must have been hollowed out to make a city, and that row of small holes must have been firing ports, if not vents, and whatever they were, they must have led to the interior of the city, and it was enough to know that.

Due to the fact that the row of small windows was still a little far from the city gate below, and the players and NPCs who came and went below rarely looked up, and combined with my invisibility ability, no one could spot me at all. Move it to the very edge near a small window, and then carefully stick it on. The window wasn't completely open, its exterior was a roughly square hole carved out of the cliff, about the size of a seventeen-inch monitor, and it was possible for slim assassins and mages to squeeze into it, and a warrior like me in armor would never be able to get in. In addition, there is a wooden board on the inside of the window, so you can't see the inside from the outside.

Looking at the hole, I thought for a moment and took Eternity out, and turned Eternity into a bow drill. This kind of drill bit is generally used in woodworking, the main drill has a bow-shaped crossbar horizontally, and the two ends are connected to the drill rod with belts, as long as the crossbar is pulled back and forth by hand, the drill bit can be rotated quickly. The advantage of this thing is that it doesn't require additional power, it is purely manual operation, and it won't make much movement if you pay attention to the force.

After making a small hole in the wall with eternal sharpness, I shoved a ghost worm through the hole. After passing through the half-meter-thick wall, the ghost beetle quickly crawled into the tunnel. It is a corridor-like passage, with walls on the inner side of the hill and square windows on the outside side, and cannons behind the windows.

Those windows weren't vents at all, they were all firing ports, and they were cannon firing ports. These cannons are hidden in the mountain, as long as the cannon body is pushed forward to make the barrel extend out of the mountain, it can easily attack a large area outside, and it is difficult for the enemy to aim at the cannon hidden in the mountain, that is, in the mission, with the half-meter-thick granite outer wall outside and some simple spell blocking devices, it is estimated that unless it is a large magic cannon, it is difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt the cannon inside.

Now the corridor full of cannons is empty, but through the sight of the ghost beetle, I saw two NPC guards chatting by a small door, which were obviously the same people who were in the same lane inside the mountain, and these two NPCs belonged to the duty officers.

One thing good about NPCs is that they won't be resurrected, and if there are two players standing there, I'll have to find a way to get around, because even if the player is killed, he will be resurrected in the resurrection hall, and he can still go to the police after resurrection, so the player's guard room is relatively difficult to deal with.

Relatively speaking, NPCs are much easier to handle, as long as the raid process is clean and not detected, and there is no need to worry about triggering the alarm afterwards. However, while everyone knows that NPC guards are unreliable, few guilds use players as guards. After all, everyone is here to play, and others go out to level up and do tasks to play, and they are happy to let you stand alone here stupidly, would you be willing? Because people don't like to stand guard, there are very few guilds that use players to stand guard unless they know in advance that someone is going to attack, and this place is obviously among the general situation.

After determining the location of the two NPCs, I crawled to a window near the location of the two NPCs, and then used the ghost beetle to help me see the timing, and when the other people didn't even look here, I suddenly lifted the wooden board that covered the window, and the two throwing knives flew out almost simultaneously, knocking the two NPCs who turned their heads because they heard the sound to the ground. The handleless flying knife pierced directly through the eyes of the two of them, and they didn't even have a chance to shout.

I quickly jumped into the passage and closed the window, hid the corpse behind the cannon, and quickly approached the door to listen carefully. It was unusually quiet outside, and it didn't seem that there were any enemies, but just in case I carefully pushed the door open a small crack and let a ghost beetle out. After the ghost worm confirmed that it was safe outside, I opened the door and entered the back passage.

Behind the cannon-containing room was a network of tunnels, and I was able to figure out the route and the location of the people with ease under the scouting of the large number of ghost beetles I had unleashed. After passing through the passage with ease to avoid the people, I entered the city through a small gate.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I was stunned by what I saw. After seeing the uniquely designed gate and defense system outside, I thought that there should be a magnificent underground city inside the mountain, but who knew that this place turned out to be a huge refugee camp. There is indeed a lot of space inside the mountain, but there are no large buildings, all kinds of half-tents and half-houses composed of wood frames and canvas make the space inside the mountain full, all kinds of rock fragments and garbage piles everywhere, there is no order to be seen. This place is not a city at all, it is a huge refugee camp.

Although I was stupefied by the situation in front of me, I did not forget my purpose. Finding a less noticeable spot, he took out a soul chasing incense and lit it again, and the smoke quickly condensed and drifted towards a temple-like structure of large stone slabs and wood in the center of the city. After a few blows to disperse the patterned smoke, I climbed directly down the wall to the roof of the dungeon, and then quickly climbed to the top of the building on the pitch-black roof of the cave, and with a flick of my wrist, the cord automatically released and retracted.

The lower two floors of the three-story building under my feet are completely made of stone, and the structure looks very rough, and it feels like a few stones have been piled up temporarily, and even the top wooden structure of the house is barely a bit of a house, but its "luxury" Cheng dΓΉ is at most the hunter's hut level, and there are even uncut branches on the house composed of almost all logs, if it weren't for the fact that this is the belly of the mountain, it would leak rain inside. It can be said that the house is perfectly in the style of the city, and it feels like someone has put a piece of gold on his head with an uneven surface and no regular shape as a decoration, although everyone knows that the gold is very valuable, but the raw ore that has not been processed in any way is not beautiful in any way. That's what the city looks like. Hollowing out the belly of the mountain is a huge undertaking in itself, and the fact that the gate is as strong and heavy as the one outside speaks to the level of the building, but it is incomprehensible that the interior of the city has been turned into a slum with such great effort.

I don't know what to do, but my most important target right now isn't the level of construction of the people here, but the guy who stole my stuff. I lit a soul chasing incense and after determining the target location for the last time, I directly canceled the invisibility. I sneaked in before, not because I was afraid that the people here would besiege me, but because I was afraid that I would scare that guy away, and now that I have found my target, there is no need to disguise it anymore. Stratagem is only a means that is needed when the weak defeat the strong, and there is no need to waste time calculating anything when your own side is far stronger than the opponent, and it is the simplest and most effective way to directly destroy the opponent's defense with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

After the invisibility disappeared, I directly swung the eternal sword and slashed downward, with a cracking sound, the entire roof was split in two by me, and my whole person fell into the room along with the broken log.

The people in my room were startled by my fall, and I was stunned for a moment. I thought the guy who had rolled up my stuff was in the room, but to my surprise, there were only three women sitting on a wooden bed in the room, who had seemed to be chatting before, and now they were all looking at me in surprise.

The women and I were staring at each other when we heard shouts coming from the bottom of the stairs next to us. "What the hell is going on up there? Dreams, Silk, are you alright? With a shout, a player of the knight class ran up from below, but before he could pay a few words to the three women, he first looked at me who was on the other side. Purple Sun? ”

"Purple Sun?" One of the people who rushed up after the man heard my name and immediately screamed, and when he saw me, this guy immediately screamed and turned around and ran down, while shouting: "Run!" Purple Sun is here again!"

I don't know what the relationship between these people and that guy is, but I don't plan to care about them right now, because the guy who ran away is the president of the guild that stole from me. Seeing him run away, I directly put the eternal fierce hand on the ground, and then drew a circle around me, and the stone slab on the ground was cut out of a big circular hole by me like tofu, and then I fell to the next layer with the cut slate. That guy had just run to the top of the stairs at this time, and when he saw me suddenly falling through the floor, he immediately screamed and didn't even go down the stairs, and jumped directly to the bottom of the stairs. Seeing that he was still running, I broke through the floor slab again and fell directly to the first floor, and the position where I was standing just blocked the doorway, the guy was just halfway through and retreated back in fright. There were a few other people standing beside him, all of whom belonged to their guild when they saw the badges, and they apparently recognized me, and they all retreated to the wall at the other end of the room in fear.

"Am I that scary? Why do you see me and run? ”

They didn't take my words seriously, but became even more frightened, and finally I don't know if fear had broken through the critical point, and one of the fighters suddenly shouted: "Everyone rush over together, run away one by one." ”

As he shouted that, he and the other members of the group suddenly rushed over at him, and I was slightly surprised by their reaction. Last time outside the small village of their guild, I put down so many people by myself, and they dared to rush up, and they really jumped off the wall in a hurry.

"Where do you want to go?" Looking at the sword blade swung by the fastest player, I casually stretched out a hand and gently pinched the long sword firmly in my hand, no matter how much the player struggled, he couldn't pull it out.

"Don't get stuck with him." A female player next to me was so fast that she didn't attack me at all, and just bypassed me and rushed out, but she just rushed out of the gate and suddenly screamed and flew back faster than she went out. The King and the Second came in through the doorway, and stood there just enough to block the whole gate.

"Damn, I'm fighting with you!" One of the warriors burst out and swung his tomahawk at me, but he was forced to stop as soon as he raised the axe above his head, for the eternity in my hand had become a hooked scythe, and the tip of the spear was against his throat.

"Who else wants to try it?"

Due to my strength, the room became dead silent for a while, and no one dared to move at all, after all, as long as I wanted to kill him, they wouldn't even have a chance to react. But. The stalemate lasted only a few seconds before it ended, as the male knight who had been upstairs had walked down with three other women.

"President Purple Sun, can you put down your weapon first?" The knight looked at the situation on the field before he pleaded. I glanced at him, disdainful, but withdrew Eternity and loosened the sword of the player I had pinched earlier, and the other man quickly retreated into his own midst. Seeing that they had returned to the camp of the book cultivators, I was about to ask about my things, but I didn't expect the knight to speak again. "President Purple Sun, I know that your Frost Rose Alliance is very powerful, but this is my territory after all, don't you think you've gone too far?" Seeing my puzzled gaze, he pointed to the hole in the top of my head.

I glanced at him in disgust, but still said, "I will compensate for the damage, I don't like to owe anything to others, but only if you are not involved in their actions." ”

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about compensation." The knight took two steps forward and stood in front of the crowd and said, "Do you think that breaking into someone else's territory and destroying someone else's things and harming his guests without their consent is just compensation?" ”

I nearly fainted at the knight's words. "Are you sure you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course." "I don't know how you understand that, but I don't think it's okay to break into someone else's territory," he said, "with a few words of apology and compensation."

"Then it seems that I didn't understand it wrong, but that you are really just an idiot."

"Why are you scolding?" This time it was one of the three women who spoke.

"I'm not swearing, I'm stating the facts." Before the other party could continue to speak, I preemptively said, "Do you really understand what the Frost Rose Alliance represents?" ”

"A guild." The woman said inexplicably.

I smiled and shook my head. "That's why I call him an idiot, but it looks like he's not the only idiot here!"

"Who are you scolding?"

"I said it, I'm not swearing, I'm just stating the facts. You don't understand who I am, or what the Frost Rose League represents, or what your own identity and your guilds represent. ”

"Okay, so what do you say your identity is? What do your guilds stand for? What do we stand for? ”

"My identity is the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, the number one in the world's combat power list, and the Frost Rose Alliance represents strength. We are a bunch of proud lions, and you are just a bunch of rabbits. They ......, "I pointed to the president." "These hateful jackals have stolen my prey, and I'm hunting them down. As for you, you're just a bunch of rabbits who happen to be involved. You don't even have the recipe to enter the lion pack, but now you want the lion to compensate you for the rabbit hole, and you have to count the compensation for mental damage and personality insults, I really don't know if I'm stupid or you're stupid. Don't you think it's funny that the rabbit asks the lion for mental damages? ”

"You say that we are incompetent, okay, today I will show you how good we are." The woman suddenly reached out and took out the longbow behind her back and mounted an arrow, but before she could shoot it, the leader next to her screamed.

"Don't, he ......"

He obviously shouted a step slower, and the arrow had already come out, but it was pinched in my hand in the next second. "It's a good head, but it's a pity that the speed is too slow, the strength is not enough, and the most important thing is that it doesn't have any magic effect, you don't think this thing can shoot me, do you?"

"Wow, he was able to catch your arrow!" What almost made me faint was that after the woman had finished shooting, the other two women beside her and the knight screamed together.

"Hey, hey, are you guys from the Neurological Hospital?"

"President Purple Sun." The previous president suddenly calmed down, and then stood in front of the women and the knight and said, "You just want to get your stuff back here, am I right?" ”

I smiled and nodded, "Wouldn't there be nothing to do earlier?" Seriously, though, I really want to know who they are. Here......" I pointed to my head. "Is there a problem?"

The president looked at the few people behind him, and there seemed to be something unspeakable. "This has nothing to do with you, you should not have happened just now! Some of them have already been sold, but most of them have been hidden by me, and I can take them with you right away. But you have to make sure you don't embarrass them again. ”

"Don't worry, I won't be with people with intellectual disabilities, after all, I'm a normal person, so it's right to let them be. Of course, don't blame me if they take the initiative to trouble me, I don't like the feeling of being ridden on my head. In addition, it is certain that you will hand over to me what you have hidden, and you will also tell sΓΉ who you sold the part you sold to. ”

The one seemed a little hesitant, but finally nodded, "Okay." Let's go. ”

"Wait." The knight from before jumped out again at this time. "You smashed our house and haven't paid yet!"

Hearing the guy's words, the president quickly turned around to cover his mouth, and I threw the dragon tendon rope out with a flick of my hand, wrapped it around the president's waist, pulled him hard and dragged him to my side, and then grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the room, as for the knight, I was not even interested in talking to him. According to my observations, it is likely that these people here are disabled, and the knight and the three women are supposed to be mentally handicapped, and as for the president, it seems as if he is in charge of taking care of these people. According to these clues, the image of a kind person who goes around making money to take care of mentally handicapped children appeared in my mind, which is why I was suddenly so polite to that guy.

"Leave him alone, take me to my stuff."

"Okay, okay." Seeing that I didn't care, the president immediately led me out of the city. Later, although the guy still didn't follow them, I didn't care about them at all. When I think about it, I blame the character system of "Zero" with a beautification effect, if it is estimated that they are not normal people at a glance in reality, I don't have to work so hard.

Jumping onto Nightshade's back with the guy in one hand, and then driving Nightshade out of the eerie city.

"Directions."

"Over there."

Following the leader's instructions, Nightshade let go of its speed and sped all the way by, and soon we stopped at a small waterfall with a drop of only three or four meters.

"Where's the stuff?"

The chief walked over to the waterfall and walked straight through it, and I realized that this was a place similar to a water curtain cave. After retracting the Night Shadow and following him in, he found that the hole behind the waterfall was very deep, and the leader had walked towards it for more than a hundred meters. I quickly quickened my pace and followed.

This hole starts from the entrance and rises slightly, and then begins to slope all the way down, the slope is not large at first, and after walking three or four hundred meters, it suddenly becomes a deep well that goes vertically downward, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.

"Did you hide something underneath here?" I asked, looking at the man-wide Fukajin.

The president nodded. "This is a hole in the ground that we found when we were on a mission, and there is a cave ** group below, and things are hidden at the entrance of that cave ** group."

I looked down again at the hole below, and then summoned the king and told him to jump first, and then let the one grow, and I myself at the rear, so that I was caught in the middle for fear that he would do something halfway. But this time I obviously thought too much, and he was very honest all the way down to the bottom of the cave, but just in case, not only did I not take the king back, but even released Bai Lang and Yeyue.

"Where's the stuff?" The president led me to the edge of the cave wall a little next to it, pointed to a huge rock, and said, "It's right behind here." ”

I turned my head in motion, and the king immediately stepped forward and grabbed the edge of the rock and pulled it back. With a loud bang, the huge rock collapsed, revealing a hand-dug space of several square meters, and in the center of this space was a pile of boxes neatly stacked.

When I saw those things, I immediately ran away excitedly, and then opened the top box with Li Kai. "Haha, it's what I want, though." The inside of the chest was full of the kind of metal that had been split from the Virgin of Goldstone.

The president explained later: "The others are all gems, we sold them directly, and these metals are not difficult to figure out what kind of treasures they are, and we are afraid that they will be sold cheaply, so we are not in a hurry to sell." ”

"You'll settle the score." I struggled to move the top boxes out, and then summoned the pets to move out the rest of the boxes and unpack them one by one to check, the result was normal, the boxes were all filled with the kind of metal that was long in total, and it was estimated that it weighed dozens of tons. After inspecting the metals and throwing them all into the phoenix dragon space, I asked the leader, "How much did you sell those gems?" "I mean, if it's not very valuable, I won't chase it, anyway, my real target is only these metals, and although the gems are also valuable, if the quantity is not particularly large, there is no need to chase them back.

The president probably guessed what I meant, and immediately replied, "There are a total of thirty-one gems, all of which are of good quality, and a total of more than 30,000 crystal coins have been sold. If you don't believe it, you can go to the exchange and check the records. ”

I waved my hand to show that I was too lazy to care about it, and then I was about to leave, but as soon as I turned around, the ground suddenly shook. "What's going on?"

The president looked back and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's happened a few times we've been here, and there may be magma pipes nearby." ”

"Oh," I nodded, and I was about to leave, but the tremors suddenly began to grow louder and louder, and by last it was obvious that something was coming towards us at a terrifying speed. I grabbed the president and asked, "Do you make that sound so often?" ”

The president shook his head with a look of horror and said, "I don't know, this is the first time I've heard this kind of voice. ”

"Looks like we're in trouble!" I said, pulling out eternity, turning in the direction where the sound was coming.
