Chapter 18: The Hillside People

After listening to the system's prompts, Reiho stood up.

The end of the game means that he will never see Liu Min again.

How can this work, we must find a way to get out of here immediately.

The flames still crackled.

Overhead, there is a bright starry sky, surrounded by the woods of Hesse.

The trees are so dense that you can't make out your direction, and it seems that there are unknown dangers hidden everywhere.

There is the sound of the wind and the chirping of unknown night birds, but the sound of the water is not heard, and it seems to be far from the water.

In which direction? There is still half an hour.

Rey looked anxiously at the cold sword in his hand.

"Sword, sword, I worked so hard to find you, shouldn't you give me some hints?"

Mori Han's short sword had a strange shape, with a long, silvery-white hilt and a sword body that shimmered with a cold glow almost as long as the hilt, and a slanted gauntlet separated the hilt from the blade.

The slanted gauntlet was made of some metal, covered with dense pinstripes, stripped in strands, like hair.

A slanted bundle of hair?

The more Rey looked at his hands, the more familiar he felt, like Wang Anxin's peculiar bundle of hair.

By the way, Wang Anxin's kid also entered the game with him as the game's guide, what about the kid?

He fell into the cliff, he ignored it, he fell into the water, he stood by and watched, he was about to end the game in half an hour, he couldn't continue to watch the fire from the other side, right?

"Isn't it you?"

Rey tightened the dagger in his hand.

Sen Han's sword body reflected Rey's anxious face.

The sword did not react.

"It's not you, say, I guess it's you!"

The sword remained unresponsive.

When Rey first met Xiao Qing, she once said that she was the guide of the game and the person who helped everyone play the game smoothly.

Then Wang Anxin, that kid as his tour guide, shouldn't he come out to bubble at this critical moment?

"I already know it's you, Wang Anxin! As a tour guide, the game is coming to an end, shouldn't you give me a hint? ”

Rey began to shake his sword violently.

The sword seemed to tremble slightly?

Hehe, good boy.

Rey was ready to amplify his moves.

"When your kid didn't come yet, Xiao Qing secretly told me that it doesn't matter if I don't clear the game, although I can't get the third benefit, she is willing to date me as compensation."

"What? Did she really say that? ”

As soon as Rey's words fell, Wang Anxin's magnetic anxious voice suddenly came from the sword.

"Say, say, Xiao Qing, my Xiao Qing, she actually wants to date someone like you? Oh, my God. ”

Hmph, mention Xiao Qing, your kid finally came out.

"Of course, Ah Qing ...... her"

"Don't call Aqing!"

The short blade of the sword swayed from side to side, as if in anger.

"Hmph, I don't care anyway, the game is about to end, and I can just go on a date with Aqing."

"The game certainly doesn't end. As the guide of this game, I have the right and obligation to take care of the players. You kid listen to my command! ”

The sword was indeed full of power, and it took Rey's arm in a circle.

There was still a dark forest in front of him.

"This sword has great power, it is a sharp weapon for slaying dragons, how to use this sword well will be the key to whether you can clear the game, now it's too late to say more, you kid immediately waved this sword at the tree in front of him, and then shouted Sayonara!"

"Sa, sow, what?"

"It's Sayonala, a popular language in the Sakura Province, let's talk about the specific meaning later, hurry up, it's too late. This guide must lead you through the mission! ”

Now it's Wang An'an's turn to be anxious, and he has taken great pains to prevent himself from dating Aqing.

Rey tentatively swung his sword forward!

"Scattering ......"

The sound stopped abruptly.

The back is all forgotten.

"Stupid to death, Sayonara, Sayonara, Sayonala! Remember, no. The sword shook anxiously, and the blade was already slightly hot.

"Remember!"

Rey faced the dark woods in front of him again, and swung his short sword with all his strength.

"Sayonara!"

With a whoosh, a bolt of lightning rushed out of the dagger!

The dazzling light was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Rey's sight.

There was silence all around.

What is this? Did you recite the wrong spell again?

Just as Rey was about to swing his sword again, the woods moved.

"Bang la, bang lala......"

The trees in front of him broke off one after another, falling to the sides, and forcibly carved out a straight path.

What a huge power!

"Alright, now you kid leave this road right away, sloppy!"

The sword reminded anxiously.

The fire is almost extinguished.

Rey put Liu Min back behind him and set out on the straight path through the woods.

"Hurry up, hurry up, use the one who runs, aren't you kid very good at running?"

Wang Anxin is like a different person, from completely ignoring it to being extremely enthusiastic, and he can't wait to go into battle in person.

Rey began to run.

Huge fallen trees hurried past Rey's flanks.

After almost three miles of running, the woods finally came to an end.

Outside the woods is a hillside covered in weeds, just like Rey was when he first entered the game.

"Squeak Squeak......"

It was late at night, and Oriori hid in the grass and screamed uncontrollably.

At the end of the hillside, green smoke billowed from it, and it looked like a fire was lit.

"Why are you stunned, go up the hill!"

Just as Rey hesitated, Sword reminded anxiously.

Run.

Rey tightened Liu Min behind him, and ran towards the end of the hill with beads of sweat and the starlight above his head.

Akmun was sitting by the fire and enjoying a hearty dinner.

In front of him was a blanket with a few plates of fruit, a few plates of greens, a few steaming crabs, a plate of golden eggs spread with shallots, and a fragrant steamed fish that was just right.

But the most tempting thing is a roast sheep slowly turning on the fire in front of him.

The sheep is worn on a thick branch, and as the branch turns, the fragrance gradually spreads.

Akmun looked greedily at the roast sheep in front of him while quietly observing.

There were four other people sitting around the fire like himself, a guy who looked immature like a child was called Ah Mao, and next to Ah Mao was a cool guy with a long knife on his back, who seemed to be called Ou Xichen.

The remaining two people, one short and fat, always have a smile under a white and clean fat face, happy, what is Han Fatty? The last man who cared most to Akmun was a fierce guy with a shaved head, one eye, and a fleshy face, and a package on his back, in which many knife handles were exposed, and the man was silent, and sat down without saying a word, but ate without saying a word.

He did not touch any vegetables or fruits, but only gulped on fish and crabs, neither picking the thorns nor peeling the shells, but put them whole in his mouth and swallowed them with the thorns in his stomach.

This man who eats like a beast is called Zhou Gang.

A strong aroma drilled into Akmun's nostrils.

"The sheep is roasted." The man who turns the branch to roast the sheep is the owner of this clear water hillside.

An old man wearing a blue-gray cloth robe.

He picked up a sharp dagger and began to divide the lamb one by one.

"To be able to come to Qingshui Mountain, everyone has worked hard all the way. Prepare some simple food, and please don't laugh. ”

As he spoke, the old man distributed the mutton among the five men who were sitting around the fire.

"It's an honor to be able to eat such delicious food anywhere and anywhere." Akmun politely took the plate, the aroma of mutton already made him want to move.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ah Mao, the district washed the dust, and Han Fatzi also thanked the owner while taking the plate.

Zhou Gang grabbed the plate without saying a word, picked up a piece of hot and oily mutton and stuffed it into his mouth, and the two wide and thick lips touched a few times before chewing and swallowing into his stomach.

The old man glanced behind the fire.

Behind the fire, at the end of the hillside lay several houses, low as if lying on the hillside, with only a window in the center, and a white curtain hung from the window, from which a golden light shone out.

In the middle of the low house and the roaring bonfire, stands a wooden sculpture that resembles a bird.

The woodbird was standing quietly, not making any sound.

"I don't think anyone will come again. I wonder if we will be lucky enough to meet the four young ladies right now? Akmun said as he poured the fragrant lamb into his mouth.

The old man looked at the few people by the fire, a little hesitant.

"Please, please wait." Ah Mao said timidly.

"Yes, the wood carving hasn't chirped yet, so the time hasn't come yet." Ou Xichen said heartily.

"However, the time is almost up, and the wood carving may chirp at any moment, and I guess no one will come again, so we might as well start immediately." Akmun continued to agitate the old man.

"Yes, yes, it's coming early, please start right away." Han Fatzi also responded.

"Well, I see that this mountain road is vast, no one should come, and it's okay, the old decay won't waste everyone's time." The old man seemed to have made up his mind.

A smile appeared in Akmun's small eyes.

"No, you can't. Sir, you set the time yourself, and the registration deadline is when the woodbird chirps, so wait, I think someone will come. Ou Xichen retorted firmly.

"Uh-huh. This gentleman has a point, since it is my time, then wait. Keep eating, everyone! The old gentleman waved his wide sleeves and began to divide the lamb again.

"Whoosh."

Suddenly, there was a sound like breaking through the air, and a short knife with a cold glow struck at the district washing dust.

Zhou Gang, who didn't say a word, suddenly made a move!

"Smack."

Ou Xichen pulled out the long knife in an instant, and with a slight wave, the knife gently turned the direction of the galloping flying knife.

"Boom!"

The knife was nailed to a peach tree next to the low house.

The hilt of the knife was still vibrating violently, and a few pink peach blossoms were falling.

"Humph!"

Zhou Gang snorted heavily.

It was the first sound he had made since reaching the hillside.

"If you have a disagreement, don't do it." The old gentleman waved his wide sleeves anxiously.

"That's it, that's it, don't be impulsive." Han Fatzi also stood up, pulling left and right.

Akmon looked at Zhou Gang and Ou Xichen with interest, and he suddenly had an idea.

"Hehe, everyone's purpose is the same, but everything listens to the old gentleman, don't be impulsive." Akmun pulled out four wine glasses and a piece of red wine from his bosom.

He slowly poured the red wine into his glass.

"Is there no good food without wine? I brought a bottle of fine red wine from my hometown, so why don't we quench our anger and have a drink together to welcome this last moment. ”

Just as Akmun was about to distribute the red wine to everyone with a smug smile, a voice suddenly came.

"Don't drink this man's wine!"
