Chapter 092: Hunting
Modesia Mountain, which translates to "Grasp the Root Treasure Mountain", is the destination that Velica has decided.
Obviously, there is no way to understand the meaning of the name "Grasping the Root Treasure Head Mountain" in human language, and in Vilia's explanation, Xi Xue learned that in the legend, Modescia / Grasping the Root Treasure is a vicious beast with a very vicious name, with huge wings that cover the sky and the sun, and stomp on the ground to shake the mountain, and a roar can set off huge waves and tsunamis, creating countless evils, and finally by the royal ancestor of the Holy Liuli Empire, Holy Liuli I, with a righteous and powerful force to kill it, Modescia was finally torn apart, and the broken body flew to the impassable place, and " "Modeciaya", the head of the legendary beast, after an unknown amount of time, finally became a giant mountain.
That Saint Liuli I also has another name, which is translated into Chinese as "Tugen Bao Brave", and Xi Xue only feels awkward how to listen to it.
The rumbling cry came from far and near. A group of people rushed up the slope and stopped at the top of the slope. As far as the eye could see, I saw a terrifying black mountain in the distance, and sure enough, it was like a terrifying giant beast lurking there. Looking at it from this angle, it really looks like a skull. Compared with the surrounding mountains, it is like a child surrounded by adults, not only short and thin, but also more docile and delicate.
Grasping the head of the root treasure mountain, it is not a good place at first glance.
Wei Lijia pointed to the black giant mountain in the distance and said, "Look! That's Mount Modeciaya, which I know is called the [Treasure Vault] by many insurers and mercenaries, and of course some say it's the "Land of the Abandoned Corpses". There are all kinds of magical beasts living there, and there are also many rare and exotic fruits. In particular, there is a type of black crystal, which is the best material for weapons and armor. How is it? It's the perfect place for hunting, right? ”
Xi Ze's outfit at the moment is a little strange, with refined armor on his body, but there are two rough and heavy "Nightmare" twin guns hanging on it, and the difference in temperament and style is quite huge, but it is undeniable that this contrast adds a bit of unique charm to him. Seeing Wei Lijia looking at herself, Xi Xue replied casually: "Well, it is indeed a place worth exploring." ”
At this time, Xi Xuan is on the left hand side of Velica, which was originally the position of Quint, Velica's personal knight, and Quint is now on Velica's right side. Along the way, Xi Ze sensed that Quint glanced at him more than once. Although Xi Xue was a little helpless about this, he didn't care about it, after all, his eyes couldn't kill.
"Huh. So what are you waiting for? During this time, she has been maneuvering between several powerful people in the county of Weilun, even if she is handy, she has dissolved the open guns and hidden arrows against her again and again, of course, there is no danger, but she is very tired of those hypocritical and disgusting faces, so she suddenly proposed to join Xi Zhi's hunting operation, which can be regarded as a pastime.
Wangshan ran a dead horse. It looked quite close, but it actually took about six hours to reach the foot of the "Modecia Mountain". There is a town formed spontaneously by adventurers and mercenaries, as well as merchants. The arrival of Xi Ze and others caused a small riot in this town. After all, the equipment of their group is too sophisticated and gold-absorbing, and their mounts are extraordinary, so they are envious and jealous of those poor ghosts.
That's right, the poor ghost is the shining label of adventurers and mercenaries. Although they are notoriously desperate for money, they really don't have a lot of money in their pockets - these people don't want to die even if they spend money!
As for Verica, she wore a golden mask to hide her perfect face, and she didn't want to be stared at by a bunch of sloppy and rude subordinates, so no one would care about her.
The Knight of Quint sat on his mount, glancing to the left and to the right, but all the adventurers who were glanced at by him were frightened into taking a step or two backwards, avoiding his gaze. Some of the unscrupulous people who originally planned to slaughter Wei Lijia and Xi as fat sheep also dispelled the little caution in their hearts. It is said that mercenaries don't want to die if they want money, but just like that, few people will die for money.
All the way to the gallop, everyone was a little tired, so they rested for a long time in one of the best inns in the town, and when all their energy was restored, they left the town and headed straight for the Modesia Mountain. When you come to a fork in the road with arrows, you will officially enter the mountains of Modecia.
At this time, Viliga said, "It's so boring to hunt like this. Let's play some tricks. What do you think of the sixteen of us here, divided into two groups, and then each of us hunts separately, and at a predetermined time, see which group has the most abundant harvest, and the winning group will receive the spoils of the other group, and at the same time, I will give them a special reward. ”
This "you" obviously refers to Xi Zhi, except for them, everyone else is Wei Lijia's attendants, and naturally obeys.
Xi Ze, Yang Xue and the others looked at each other with joyful faces, which just fulfilled their wishes, and said, "This is really a good idea." Then let's be a group, Wei Lijia, you are a group......" Before Xi Xue finished speaking, Wei Lijia said with a smile: "How to group, naturally it is handed over to the [God of the Sky], and we will be grouped by ourselves, isn't that a lot less fun?" ”
Listen to the meaning of random grouping, not a group of humans, a group of Wang Xingren? How is this going to work? Xi Xue and the others couldn't help frowning. Xi Xue said: "Wei Lijia, if we cross teams and don't understand each other's languages, I'm afraid it's not conducive to action." Wei Lijia smiled: "What does it matter? Anyway, everyone's goal is the same, and there is no need to communicate too much, so the language barrier is not a problem. Hehe, you'd better pray to be in a group with the Quint Knights, because then the odds are pretty good. ”
Quint said, "My lord, I am your sidekick, and I should follow you at all times, so I don't need to participate in the group. Wei Lijia said: "This is not good. If that's the case, then grouping is completely unnecessary, isn't it? And don't you think it's the most interesting thing about this uncertain contest? Xi Xue, what do you think? ”
Xi Ze weighed it and said, "Then follow what Wei Lijia you want." "Now that the countess has already made a decision, it is obviously a bit more than worth the loss to insist on opposing her.
One of the twins wanted to say something, but Xiao Keke on the side pulled the corners of her clothes, and she pouted depressedly.
The so-called "leave it to [the god of the sky] to make a decision" is actually a lottery, drawing a group of people with the number 1, and drawing a group of people with the number 2 - there is no doubt that the world of the Wang Xingren also has 1234, but it is written in a different way, and the meaning is exactly the same. After a draw, the result was Xi Xue, Wei Lijia, Fang Shaoyun, Wu Taichen, Qiu Xin, Lin Lin, one of the twins (he said so anyway), Falonge, Vinis, and other eight people in a group. Including Yang Xue, Quint and other eight people in a group.
Wei Lijia smiled and said to Xi Xue: "I didn't expect to be able to be in a group with you, is this what you said [fate]?" Xi Ze said: "This is my honor." ”
Qiu Xin poked Fang Shaoyun at this time and said, "Fang Dashuai, why do I think we have become laser light bulbs?" Fang Shaoyun said lightly: "You are still a little self-aware. Speaking of which, Fang Shaoyun was a little dissatisfied with Xi Xue and Wei Lijia getting so close, and at the same time had some expectations. Whether it is dissatisfaction or expectation, of course, it is because of Han Mei. is dissatisfied because Xi chose to carry Han Mei and Wei Lijia behind his back, "you and me". Looking forward to it, it is hoped that Xi Xue will be obsessed with Wei Lijia and then break up with Han Mei. But no matter what the mood is, it makes him feel bad.
Quint was stunned, of course he knew that Veriga had done something in the draw, but he was helpless. His gaze swept over Xi Xue, and then he said to the two knights, Farunger and Vinis, "Protect your lord's safety with your lives!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
So the two groups each chose a fork in the road and entered the Modecia Mountains.
Sure enough, it was as rumored. Not long after Xi Ze's group advanced, they encountered a vicious-looking demonic beast, which suddenly jumped down from a high place and intercepted the way ahead. However, this monster named "Reckless Tooth and Cunning" was useless, and was pierced through the head by Qiu Xin, and hung up before he even roared out for the second time. Naturally, such a scumbag of demonic beasts could not give birth to an energy crystal nucleus in their bodies.
Continue along the road. The so-called "road" is actually a winding path torn out by people who have walked too much and torn out in the dense forest vegetation, which is very difficult to walk. The more you go along the road, the stronger the monsters you encounter. Gradually, they became accustomed to killing monsters as lightly as before, and began to require the cooperation of multiple people, and even began to use high-tech weapons. Relying on the two Garanluo-level servant knights, as well as the high-tech weapons of Xi Xue and others, everyone had a thrilling forwarder, and the loot on their bodies was more and more, and it became more and more valuable.
However, it was also in response to "fighting geese all day long and calling geese pecked their eyes", Xi Xue and they finally met a powerful demonic beast - the sword-spine demon lizard! This monster not only has flexible and fast speed, hard skin armor, and a backbone that is sharper than a sword, but it also rushes into the formation of a group of people in Xi Xuan, and it is full of dangers!
In particular, Verica, who didn't have any strength, was almost in danger, but it was her subordinate knight Vinys who desperately rushed and knocked the monster away, and Xi Xue injured it in one eye with the Nightmare Demon, which created an opportunity for everyone, and after a wild bombardment, it could be wiped out. The price of victory was that Vinys was badly injured and died. She used her life to fulfill her duty to protect Viliga.
After this battle, everyone consumed a lot, so after quickly looting the loot, they left the battleground, because the smell of blood would attract more monsters.
Xi Ze saw that Wei Lijia's face turned a little pale, and she thought that after the death brush just now, she should have recognized that the so-called hunting is not a pastime, but a real dangerous behavior!
Xi Xue sighed secretly, pulled out his gun and walked to Wei Lijia's side, stretched out the handle of the gun, and said, "You take it for self-defense." I'll show you how to use it. Even if you don't have divine powers, it's enough to splice it for self-preservation. ”
Verica is not a supernatural power! Yes, she is an ordinary person who is unable to absorb the power of the Energy Crystal Nucleus/Divine Crystal - in the high ranks, this is called the "God Forsaken", which means the person who is disliked by the gods, and is synonymous with "waste" and "garbage". Willy Canon has today's achievements and status, relying only on her beautiful and useful head. In the upper circle where the divine power holds the core power, the difficulty of a "god outcast" wanting to get ahead can be imagined.
To be honest, from this point, Xi Xue really admires Wei Lijia!
Wei Lijia was stunned, then showed a smile and said, "Thank you." Perhaps, I really need it. ”
