Chapter Twenty-Five: Big Sister?!
The Four Sword Saints are in the middle of the team, very conspicuous, these guys are all very glamorous, and it seems that they have become the spiritual pillars of this exploration team...
It's just that Xue Qiong estimated that the other three were all driven by Barn to the shelves and used to suppress the scene, after all, none of them were from the empire, and in addition to Buwanga, the patriarch of the Bantu clan, the remaining two were unobtrusive and the other was a wandering swordsman who had nothing but fame and strength, and they should not be used to this state of being looked up to.
As for the other important person, where is Luxi...
"Brother Xue Qiong! What are you doing? Minette looked curiously at the telescope in Xue Qiong's hand.
As soon as Minette said this, Xiao Yun snatched the telescope from Xue Qiong's hand and handed it to Minette.
"This is called a telescope~" Xiao Yun taught Minette the method used, "This way, this way..."
Xue Qiong wouldn't be angry or angry that the telescope was snatched away, anyway, he felt that he had finished reading what he should see. He glanced at the sky, and then said, "Take a break and continue on your way." We need to find the nearby transportation arteries as soon as possible, and the kind that is not garrisoned by troops, and then grab a carriage and go to Xuzu..."
"Big big sister head ?!!!" Minette let out a cry of surprise and almost fell to the ground.
"Big sister's head over there!!" After she returned the binoculars to Xue Qiong, she jumped to her feet excitedly and pointed in the direction of the Screaming Cave.
Xue Qiong took the telescope suspiciously, and asked with a strange expression, "Big... Sister? ”
"Yes, yes! My eldest sister's head is over there!! Minette said without hesitation, looking very nervous and excited.
"Could it be that you're talking about..."Xue Qiong held the telescope in front of her again, "It's strange, why didn't I find it just now... You're talking about Luxie? ”
Minette suddenly became vigilant: "How do you know the name of the eldest sister?!" ”
Xue Qiong didn't think of what to say for a while, but he still had a bald head to help round the field, he scratched his shiny head and said, "Uh... Luxi, the dark elf ghost swordsman, is still relatively famous in Arad! Right! ”
"Ah, your eldest sister's head is over there..."Xue Qiong stared blankly, "And then?" ”
"I'm going to find the eldest sister!" Minette was extremely determined, "Now that I'm the only one left in the village, I have to go see her!" ”
"Nope." Xue Qiong immediately refused even more firmly, "Not to mention that it is dangerous to die there now, I don't think there are a few lives that can accompany you to be willful, and what about the Void Ancestor that you said okay?" ”
"I don't care, I don't care, I'm going!"
Looking at Minette like that, Xue Qiong estimated that she would probably be lying on the ground and rolling on the ground in the next second.
"Which of you is better at dealing with children?" Although Xue Qiong also has some basic psychological knowledge about this age, there is always a difference between theory and actual combat, so he had to helplessly ask for help from Bald Head and Xiaoyun.
The bald head said: "That, I have read some prenatal education at most, and the knowledge of taking care of babies... You know, nurse, sir..."
"Ahh Xue Qiong slapped her head, "The stage is not right, right..."
"Senior~" Xiao Yun gently hugged Xue Qiong's waist and blew behind his ear, "I haven't prepared yet, but if you want a child, I..."
Well, the other is the type that will be unconditionally wrong.
---------------
By six o'clock in the evening, the night had completely covered the land.
As a result, Xue Qiong still compromised... ran back and forth in vain, and the four of them were tired enough.
In the process of trying to convince Minette to give up his thoughts, and on the way back to the Cave of Sorrow, Xue Qiong has a general understanding of what the relationship between Minette and Luxie is.
First of all, the underground world inhabited by dark elves is very scarce in materials, and the legal system is also very poor. Therefore, the most important skill that young and middle-aged dark elves use to make a living is... Rob. Even the Dark Elf Kingdom's highest military organization, the Night Bringer, was originally the name of a group of Dark Elf bandits.
And the dark elf village where Minette originally lived was on the border of the border, even closer to the cave of sin than the one she fled to after the plague.
In this environment... Due to the curse of the ghosts, Luxi became the strongest person in this village, and he also rushed to the forefront during the robbery, and gradually became the leader of the bandit group in their village, and also became an existence similar to the village chief in the entire village, although the dark elves did not need the village chief.
As we all know, the dark elves are very xenophobic, so although they make any human caravan fearful outside, they are very kind to their own people, except for the high-ranking who earn axes, and even give everything they grab to the old people and children in the village without return. Thereupon... Under this influence, Minette regarded Luxie as the highest idol, and from the earlier days when he was a smaller, bearish child, he was known as the head of the eldest sister.
For Minette, whose mother was killed in a war with the dwarves and whose father remarried (again, in a matriarchal society), Luxie was an important presence as a teacher, mother, and sister, just like family.
As soon as she said this, Xue Qiong would never be able to object... Another thing that made him very unhappy was that he suddenly thought that this should be part of the future of the three of them and Minette, right?! This kind of can't resist no matter what, and it's hard to even speculate, and the control imposed on himself really makes him helpless, but he can only go along with it.
Now they are hiding in the same place where they were ambushed last night, and they are quietly watching the situation at the entrance of the Screaming Cave.
There was no one at the entrance of the cave anymore, only a few corpses lying on their backs, all of them soldiers of the Dross Empire.
"Safety." Xue Qiong was the first to walk out of the bushes and went to look at the corpses a few times.
It's too obvious, that's what they did. The wounds and causes of death are the same as the last time they robbed the purple mist, some were poisoned, split in half from the middle, part of the body was charred or even melted, and there looked like the jaw had eaten an incendiary bomb, and half of the people were carbonized... This should be the handiwork of Liu Yi of the fire method.
These dead ghosts should have been guarded here by the Barn faction, and it is estimated that the purpose is to delay and catch up when other forces, such as the Principality Army or the Void Ancestor Regular Army, come here, and give some early warning to those who have already entered. Maybe these people will think that this is a beautiful thing when they are alive, but they are so good that they will not die, and they will meet that group of reincarnators whose personal strength can at least crush them, and kill them when they meet... Fate is so fond of playing tricks on people.
"Don't touch the corpse." Xue Qiong remembered the purple mist that had been hit, and was afraid that these corpses would be done again, so he hurriedly stopped Minette, who had a pair of beautiful blue eyes and approached to see it curiously.
Xue Qiong glanced at the bottomless, pitch-black cave like the entrance to hell, lit a cigarette, and then said, "Let's go back to the forest and camp first, and after recuperating for a while, we will follow up." ”
"Why?!" Minette was very dissatisfied, "I don't know how long it has been since the eldest sister went in!" If we don't keep up now, what..."
"Smack!" Xiao Yun gently patted Minette's sturdy, slender and shiny brown calf. The dark elves are obviously more resistant to cold than humans, so in this kind of autumn windy weather, she can also run and jump in the forest with only a pair of shorts.
"Oops!" In just a moment, Minette almost fell to the ground.
"Weak legs, aren't they?" Xue Qiong turned around and asked with a smile, "In this state, not to mention catching up with your eldest sister, and not to mention those imperial people inside, you will have to sleep and die on the road after taking two steps." ”
The bald head also explained: "They have been in for a long time, and even if we do, we can't catch up." At this point, it's better to take a break, go in in at your best, and then find it slowly. ”
"Okay..."Minette really couldn't do it at this point.
Of course, it was impossible for the four of them to choose the place where they had set up camp yesterday, where there were already obvious traces of observation. After setting up camp in the new place, Xiao Yun, the only vampire among the four who didn't get tired, went out to hunt once, and they ate by the campfire.
Because of the nervousness that Minette showed from time to time, they also controlled the pace of eating quickly. Set the alarm clock with a mobile phone with a little battery left, and the four of them fell asleep so-so.
At half past one in the middle of the night, Xue Qiong's mobile phone rang with a shocking chant... It's his personal hobby. The four of them quickly packed up the camp and moved to the familiar bush again.
"Repeat." Xue Qiong turned the dagger in his hand, moved his neck and whispered, "First, all movements must be carried out after my energy perception confirms that there is no high-threat reaction there. ”
"Second, encounters are dominated by sneak attacks and quick battles, and only take the initiative to attack when facing a small group of low-threat enemies."
"Third, we don't do anything that would cause geological changes. As soon as the cave begins to crumble, or cracks appear in the structure, we will immediately evacuate, and no matter what objections anyone has, it will be null and void. ”
"Fourth, mark all the forks you pass through. The markup follows the password formula I just wrote, in order. ”
"Fifth, we must not act separately."
"Sixth, use lighting only in frontal combat, and when it is confirmed that it is safe, bald head, you have no night vision, follow me when needed."
"Seventh, when you inevitably encounter high-end combat forces such as the Four Sword Saints and Kane, report Luxi's name."
"Above. If there's anything you haven't remembered, bring it up immediately. These rules are about our lives, and I don't want any of us to die in there because of some boring mistake. ”
