Chapter 22: Don't be afraid, I'm here
After sending the letter, Tang Jing planned to go to the Hidden Cape, a level 100 map that no one had yet set foot on.
The parchment that the old man Yan Ming gave to record Mithril still had no clue, she didn't want to sit still like this, hoping to find the information she was looking for on the way.
Tang Jing was immersed in her thoughts, and someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder, she quickly took out the sharp dagger and turned around, and the dagger in her hand stabbed at the person who attacked her.
Xuanyuan Wudao quickly took a few steps back, and said a little helplessly, "Lady, you are going to murder your husband..."
Seeing the person coming clearly, Tang Jing put away the dagger, and then frowned slightly, "You asked for it!" ”
"Okay, it's all because of my husband's bad scare the lady, I apologize!"
Not bothering to pay attention to him, Tang Jing bypassed this person and walked towards the teleportation point.
"Are you following me?" On the bluestone slab road in Taiyuan, the NPCs on both sides of the street looked sideways because of this Hedong lion's roar, and were baptized by so many eyes, Tang Jing's face rubbed on two blushes, although they are just data, but they are also data with their own thinking ability...
Looking at her shy appearance, Xuanyuan Wudao's phoenix eyes under the mask were full of smiles, he took two steps forward to be side by side with her, and then leaned down slightly, "You are my lady, it is only natural for me to follow you." ”
The NPCs have already begun to talk about them and whether they are a small couple quarreling or not.
Tang Jingzhen couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, but he couldn't beat it, so he could only suppress his anger and say hatefully, "It's okay to follow, but don't shout any lady!" "If you want to follow, follow him, as long as it doesn't get in your way, let him go!
In this way, the two tentatively reached an agreement to go to the hidden cape together, and Tang Jing also agreed to his application to form a team.
Along the way, Xuanyuan Wudao had a lot of questions in his heart, but some should be asked and some should not be asked, and he also knew that he believed that one day, she would open her heart to herself.
Enter the hidden promontory, which is the exact opposite of its name, with no sandy beaches, no coconut palms, just endless mountains in front of you.
Ding: There is a change on your parchment, please check it in time.
Hearing the prompt sound of the system, Tang Jing shook the parchment paper in his hand, and the hill on the paper, which was originally bare and only had water chestnuts, was now lush and green, and it became easier to identify.
The parchment had only changed when she had entered the hidden cape, believing that the mountain she was looking for must be hidden somewhere in the mountains.
Tang Jing, who was in a happy mood, gave Xuanyuan Wudao a rare smile, "You don't have anything you want to ask?" ”
"Even if I asked, would you tell me? It's better to shut up and wait for you to tell me when you want to speak. Xuanyuan Wudao handed her a packet of oiled paper, which was the pastry he packed in the Drunken Immortal Building, "Taste, this is the new pastry from the Drunken Immortal Building." ”
Eating dry food and water like this does not need to go through the trading system, and players can receive it directly from each other.
Tang Jing found a stone and sat cross-legged to unwrap the oil-wrapped paper, there were a few delicate and small pastries lying in it, she pinched one and put it in her mouth, sweet but not greasy, there was still a fragrance between her lips and teeth, not a little better than the osmanthus cake last time.
"How's it taste?" Xuanyuan Wudao suddenly approached, his hands propped on both sides of her, and his movements were extremely ambiguous.
"Get out of here!" Tang Jing pushed the person away in annoyance and shame, and then walked towards the path up the mountain, this scoundrel, he wants to take advantage of himself at every opportunity, he really shouldn't give him a good face!
Xuanyuan Wudao sighed secretly, the road to chasing his wife is still very far away...
Tang Jing and the others have already climbed over five mountains, and the one at their feet is the highest peak here, standing here, their vision is much broader.
"Tired?" Xuanyuan asked.
"It's okay...", it's just a little tired, so aimless searching, when will I be able to find it.
Xuanyuan Wudao seemed to see her loss, he didn't say words of comfort, just gently took her hand, and looked at the steep mountain road under his feet, "Hold on to me for a while, be careful of your step." ”
Tang Jing tried to withdraw that hand, but was held tightly by the other party.
"Don't be distracted, if you step on the air for a while, you will fall down, and your husband will not have time to save you."
“……”
Tang Jing rolled his eyes at the back of his head, at this time, this person didn't forget to take advantage of himself!
There was no road under their feet at all, some of them were full of gravel and rotten wood, and they almost slid down with their butts on the ground.
Tang Jing broke free of his hand, reached out and grabbed the dead tree pole beside him and panted slightly, "How far is it to the foot of the mountain?" ”
Xuanyuan Wudao poked his head out, and below was a steep cliff, not even a vine tree trunk, and a river was faintly visible under the cliff.
"There's still half the distance, and there's a cliff below, and I guess only Spider-Man can walk..."
“……”
When Tang Jing, who was poured with a basin of cold water, was cold, she suddenly stood up with some emotion, this time the movement was too big, and her feet slipped and the whole person fell out.
"Be careful!"
Xuanyuan Wudao subconsciously reached out and grabbed her shoulder, but Tang Jing fell too fast, and he fell out with him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xuanyuan Wudao wrapped one hand around her waist and the other on the back of her head, and with a turn of his body, he firmly imprisoned her on himself, so that when he entered, he could reduce the damage caused to her.
Tang Jing looked at him stunned, the phoenix eyes under the mask were like a deep pool to suck herself in, and a string in her heart seemed to have been plucked, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
After more than ten minutes of free fall, Xuanyuan Wudao's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Hold your breath."
Hearing the sound of water running below, she took a long breath, then plopped and the two fell into the water.
The force of the impact took away two-thirds of their health.
But fortunately, they did not fall to their lives, and they tried to swim upstream, when suddenly a powerful suction force swept them into the whirlpool at the bottom of the water.
The light above his head became smaller and smaller, and finally he was drowned in the darkness, Tang Jing wailed in his heart, what a disaster!
In the dark, her senses and sight were deprived, her whole person seemed to be in chaos, I don't know how long this state lasted, suddenly her eyes lit up, Tang Jing sat up suddenly, and what came into view was no longer surrounded by mountains, but a calm and waveless sea, on the horizon, the afterglow of a set sun sprinkled on the sea, reflecting the sparkling waves.
Tang Jing didn't continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery, she got up and looked around, she didn't find Xuanyuan Wudao's figure, and the team was also forcibly disbanded by the system, she had never encountered this situation, could it be that it was scattered in the whirlpool?
She called up the current map, there was nothing on it, Tang Jing looked around a little blankly, is this a hidden map?
The number of people who can trigger hidden quests and hidden maps is equivalent to very small.
Tang Jing couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, is this considered a big disaster, and there will be a blessing in the future?
Then there was a trace of loss in her heart, she didn't know why she felt this way, maybe it was because there was one less noisy person beside her, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while, right?
"Lady!"
A familiar voice came, she thought she was hallucinating, and when she saw the figure coming out of the woods, the trace of loss in her heart was also swept away.
Xuanyuan Wudao ran extremely fast, so fast that he could only see his phantom, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Tang Jing.
"Is your vault down? I called you for a long time and there was no response. ”
Bad gaming vault? No, Tang Jing thought to himself, could it be that the Void Wandering just now caused him to think that his game warehouse was malfunctioning? It seems that he is not the same as what happened to him after he was swept into the maelstrom.
Tang Jing shook her head and said no, she briefly explained what happened to her just now.
Xuanyuan Wudao looked puzzled, when he was swept into the whirlpool, he didn't let go of her hand, there was murky water all around, not the feeling of nothingness she said, they were washed ashore together, could it be a bug? Other than that, he couldn't think of anything that went wrong.
"Did you find anything?" Tang Jing didn't want to dwell on this question, interrupted his thoughts, and looked at the forest in the distance.
"This is supposed to be a hidden map, the forest is not big, there are no monsters distributed, but there is a thatched hut that cannot be entered."
A thatched hut you can't get into?
It is true that there are some houses in Datang that players are not allowed to set foot in, but this situation is relatively rare, Tang Jing thought about it and decided to go to that thatched hut to have a look, after all, this is a hidden map, and its existence must have its meaning.
"It's okay, I was careful of you just now, I didn't dare to stay there longer, this will be free, let's go and have a look." Xuanyuan Wudao naturally expressed his concern, which made Tang Jing a little uncomfortable.
"Let's go..."
The two walked towards the forest one after the other.
Across the woods was a clearing, a thatched hut enclosed by a fence, a simple yard with a round table and three chairs, and a few chickens foraging in the yard.
The two of them easily climbed into the courtyard, but there was a rusty brass lock hanging on the wooden door of the thatched hut, and they had no way to enter.
Xuanyuan Wudao walked around the courtyard, but found no useful information, he proposed, "Let's wait outside the courtyard, the owner of the grass hut will come back in a while, and he will probably treat us as thieves." ”
That's right, Datang's NPCs have their own personalities, and it's better to have some rules.
The two of them were out of the hospital again.
Because it was a hidden map, they had no way to use the stone to return to the city, and they couldn't find a way out, so they could only wait here.
Tang Jing found a branch and scratched it on the ground to pass the boring waiting time.
With a click, the branch broke, and she threw the other half of the branch in her hand at the man, "Just gouge out your eyeballs when you're looking!" ”
Xuanyuan Wudao supported his head with one hand, lying elegantly on the stone, his eyes were full of smiles, "The people who are husbands are all yours, what is a pair of tricks, as long as you are willing to be a lady." ”
