Chapter 007: The Sea of Phantom Trees II
"Not to mention this lame Journey to the West setting, what kind of trouble is it to add the word 'brother' after Wukong Bajie? Why do you keep looking at me when you say Bajie? Am I so ugly? Edward really complained in his heart, but the smoke curling behind him showed half of his head, and asked a little shyly, "You...... How do you know we're using image retouching? ”
"It's simple, you can see it with your eyes." Zhen Shifeng shrugged his shoulders very casually and explained: "Judging from my years of experience in reading people, a person's face and appearance are more than 70% consistent with his body shape. For example, a fierce-looking man is either fat and burly, or short and strong; The fair-faced ones are mostly medium in height and slightly emaciated. As he spoke, he once again stretched out two fingers and poked the two opposite, "But the two of you, one has a delicate face but a tall and burly body, and the other is a child, but the age shown by his face is very inconsistent with his figure. So I'm sure you're using image retouching, and the retouching technique is so poor, I'm afraid it's also two novice rookies with only five combat power? ”
Zhen Shifeng's brainwashing explanation suddenly made Edward and Cooking Smoke speechless, and couldn't help but want to praise it: "Although I don't understand, I always feel so powerful." After a few moments, Edward spoke again, "Tell me the truth, my sister and I ...... No, I did use image retouching with him, but rest assured, we weren't trying to hide anything, and we weren't any invisible murderers or robbers. That's just the reason...... I can't mention it for now. ”
"Roar, just by what you say, the suspicion that you two are robbers or murderers has soared to a new level in an instant, tsk, if it's a bounty for wanted criminals, that's even better." Zhen Shifeng said while putting on a very unbeaten expression.
"Huh...... Hehe, my brother really likes to joke. The corners of Edward's mouth twitched, and his face became a little cold.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xiao Ming hurriedly interrupted: "It's not uncommon for players to use the image trimming function, and everyone has their own reasons, so don't worry too much." Ahem...... Let's go back to the task, just now the two of you said that the grave is in this forest, and I think it makes more sense. Judging from previous experience, this road must be full of dangers and murderous opportunities. ”
"According to Brother Ming's view, do the four of us have to divide labor? Or do you want to split up to be more efficient? Edward asked, frowning.
"It's too dangerous to split up, but it's necessary. It's better to take the lead, and behind my cousin's palace, the two of you will stand in the middle on both sides of the guard. ”
"Well, good idea, although I and Yuan Yuan are just novices, we have also passed the script twice, and the battle will not drag down Brother Ming." As he spoke, Edward took out two short knives from his space backpack, and handed one of them to the curl beside him.
"Uh...... Cousin, do you have a weapon? Xiao Ming suddenly remembered that Zhen Shifeng had only passed the novice script, and the probability of obtaining a weapon was not great. But Brother Feng patted his waist (space backpack) confidently, and grinned: "Don't worry, I am a person with a supreme artifact, not to mention big ghosts and small ghosts, even if the king of Hades comes." ”
“…… Well, in that case, let's follow the path in front of us all the way in, and according to the general game plot setting, the grave is likely to be in the middle of the forest. ”
"What Brother Ming said makes sense, you will follow me closely later, and you are not allowed to run anywhere, do you hear?"
"You're really long-winded, I'm not a three-year-old." You can hang the teapot with your pout.
"Hehe, then I'll go to the back and get ten meters away from you." Zhen Shifeng shook his thumb and replied.
"Uh...... Why keep a distance of ten meters? Xiao Ming regretted it after asking, and according to Zhen Shifeng's urine, he would definitely explain: "I'm afraid that the blood of a few of you will splash on me, so I'll stay away first." ”
Sure enough, Zhen Shifeng immediately slapped his thigh and explained casually: "In case the blood of a few of you splashes ......" But before he could finish speaking, he only heard a dead tree next to the entrance of the trail not far away suddenly make a coughing sound like an old man, which really startled everyone.
"You guys are arguing all day long, hasn't anyone taught you to respect the elderly?" As he spoke, the wrinkled skin on the surface of the dead tree had already formed the appearance of eyes and mouths, but when he saw the four humans in front of him, his tone instantly became tense, "You...... You...... You are human! ”
"Everyone, be careful, this guy is very likely to be a hostile NPC monster." Xiao Ming reacted immediately, and the Taidao in his hand moved forward to block the three people behind him, while Edward dragged the curl behind him while holding the short knife, and the weapon almost fell to the ground in a panic. As for Zhen Shifeng, he squatted on the ground with everyone on his back, as if he wanted to take something out of his pocket, but he couldn't take it out.
Seeing this scene, the dead tree suddenly laughed twice, "Oh, haha, you humans are even more nervous than me, it seems that I am too worried." As he spoke, it once again showed a rather stern look, and roared: "This forest is a forbidden place for humans, if you want to live, go back quickly, lest you have to bother me to dispose of your corpses, do you hear?" ”
After speaking, everyone couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, it seemed that the danger in this forest was far beyond their imagination.
"Brother Ming, what should we do now, this strange tree won't let us in?" Edward whispered in Xiao Ming's ear.
"If you don't go in, you can't get to the grave, and even if there are other paths, I'm afraid there are similar dead trees guarding it, so it seems that we have to kill this monster and force our way in......"
"Don't bother, just stand here and watch me." Zhen Shifeng interjected, then stepped forward and took out a strangely shaped thing from the space backpack.
"What do you want to do?" The dead tree snorted suddenly.
"What do you want to do? Haha, of course, it's for your 10,000-year-old demon to clear his mouth! As soon as the words fell, Zhen Shifeng showed the artifact in his hand, an electric toothbrush, and rushed to the dead tree with one arrow step, "Eat me with one move, the ultimate chrysanthemum flying thorn!" ”
With a thud, the electric toothbrush stabbed into the 'mouth' formed by the wrinkled skin without resistance, and it screamed in pain.
The three of Edward were dumbfounded on the spot, what kind of supreme artifact is this? There is also the name of the move that has no discipline and is slightly middle two, which is simply ruining the three views!
"Well, do you want to do it again?" Zhen Shifeng's eyes narrowed, and a sly smile appeared on his face. The dead tree hurriedly shouted, but he couldn't even speak clearly because he had an 'artifact' in his mouth, "Don't stab again, I'm just a reader!" ”
"Hmm...... Man, you're not sincere at all. Zhen Shifeng deliberately lengthened the tone, and the right hand holding the electric toothbrush also exerted force, and another terrible scream sounded.
"I ...... How about I tell you everything I know as compensation for my insulting remarks? ”
"Tsk, if you don't say that earlier, it's over, and I'm wasting my time." With that, Zhen Shifeng jumped back, and the toothbrush in his hand was also stuffed back into the space backpack, and a mechanical system prompt sounded in his ears [Your prop 'Multi-function Vanity Mirror' has entered the cooldown time]
That's right, just now Zhen Shifeng has activated the second function of the multi-functional vanity mirror, that is, to view the detailed attributes of an NPC.
[Name:Common Tree Spirit]
[Type: NPC]
[Force: Neutral]
[Combat Effectiveness: 0; Threat Level: Very Low]
[Weakness: Eyes, nose and ears made of tree bark]
[Function: Can tell the player two pieces of relevant information about the plot of the script]
"True brother, what you did just now was really simple and rude." A cold sweat broke out on Edward's forehead.
"I'm an efficient person, so I don't have the time to talk nonsense with an NPC in a game, only a simple and crude method is the most suitable." Zhen Shifeng shrugged his shoulders casually, then pointed to the dead tree that had just been liberated, and said in a low voice: "Can you tell me anything I ask you?" ”
"Ahem, as long as I know, of course I'll tell you, but it's limited to two, and even if you poke me to death, I won't say it again."
"Cousin, you...... What questions are you going to ask him? Saying that, Xiao Ming suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. According to our Brother Feng's urine nature, I am afraid that he will inevitably ask some strange questions about breaking through the sky and even subverting the three views.
However, this time, Zhen Shifeng put away his previous playful and funny appearance, and his eyes and movements revealed an extremely serious feeling, and after a while, he asked, "Then tell me what happened here after the queen's suicide." ”
