Chapter 11: The Valley of Wailing
Pat finally said that the pilot of an airship rental was moved, and at a high price of 800 dragon scale coins, he asked him to send himself to the edge of the Turing Gobi, only to the edge, it was simply extortion, and he looked quite reluctant, you must know that 800 dragon scale coins are more expensive than the boat fare for my cruise in the endless sea, and they provide free meals, although the taste is not very good.
After getting the money, the pilot refused to stay for a moment, and hurriedly set off to return, leaving the lonely Pat, looked at the boundless desert, gathered the backpack on his shoulder, and walked towards the depths of the Gobi.
After about an hour or two, Pat realized that this time he made a mistake, it turned out that the human stationing place was not on the periphery of the Gobi, he had walked dozens of kilometers, and he had not seen the shadow of the spaceship, so he had to speed up, and the Turing Gobi at night was the real forbidden area of life!
Pat confirmed his position again, and then jumped into the air, getting farther and farther away from the ground, until he rose to a height of twenty or thirty meters, and his body turned around, flying towards the depths of the desert.
Wendy and the four of them were looking for it in the Wailing Valley for a while, and it was indeed not so easy to find such a small thing as the ring, lost in a huge jungle, even if the general route and range had been drawn, it was still a forest after all. Along the way, I encountered a lot of small beasts, basically all of which were characters that could be cleaned up easily, and there was not even one that could be counted, which made Wendy very helpless, and deviated a lot from the plan.
"How's it going, did you find it?" said Jennifer, looking at Wendy walking through the woods.
"No, there is one last section left, according to the route map given by the owner of the lost property, there is a distance of about two kilometers, and we will walk the whole way, it seems that this money is really not so easy to make. Wendy was unhappy with this failed operation, how should this end?
"Don't be discouraged, there's hope, let's continue. ”
"Well, let's hurry up, we have to get out of the valley before dark, many beasts in the jungle will haunt at night, I'm afraid we can't cope with it now, at least high-level abilities dare to operate in the Wailing Valley at night. "That is to say, but the excited expression is obviously a look of eagerness, there is no situation during the day, then it will be delayed until the evening, and then we must show Miss Ben's strength.
"Hahahaha......" A shrill laugh pierced through the jungle and came from all around, and then a man wrapped in a black cloak appeared behind the bushes not far away: "Don't wait until night, since you've come here, don't plan to go back alive!"
"What the hell!" At this time, Li Rui returned to the gathering point, and just saw this scene, he was really powerless to complain about this guy's lines, he had no nutrition at all, and he came out to play tricks when he heard it, and bet you didn't live more than three chapters.
Wendy didn't understand what Li Rui meant, and explained seriously: "It's not a ghost, if you read it correctly, this person is a death walker." ”
"Deathwalker, what the hell is that?"
"It's all said that it's not a ghost, the Death Walker is a group of people with evil abilities, using powerful mental power to manipulate the corpses of people and animals, often with a strange temperament, murderous and cunning. Wendy feels that it is really difficult to communicate with Li Rui, sometimes this guy is beyond the scope of cuteness, just like a mentally retarded.
At this time, Ah Xun also rushed back: "It's not a ghost, is it a human?"
Wendy looked at Ah Xun suspiciously, and was deeply aware of the difficulty of communication for this kind of endless weird questions: "Strictly speaking, it's not a human being, because people don't do that kind of thing." ”
The death walker approached step by step, the distance was already less than ten meters, and he could hurt people at any time, but Ah Xun still continued to ask with a calm demeanor: "What kind of thing?
"Of course not, it is very difficult for the ability of the Death Walker to improve, and the general method is simply not enough to obtain strong enough spiritual power, they improve themselves by extracting the spiritual power of others, this kind of scum who relies on killing their own kind to survive, of course, cannot be regarded as a human being. ”
"Then I'll rest assured!" Ah Xun felt that as long as the other party was human, everything was very simple.
"What?" Wendy wasn't quite sure what Ah Xun meant, maybe she didn't hear it clearly?
Ah Xun didn't answer Wendy's question, but pulled out his gun, aimed it at Deathwalker, and said in a very humorous tone: "Stop, don't move, raise your hands, if you move again, I'll shoot!"
Then the Deathwalker really stood there according to Ah Xun's request and did not move, of course, he was not shocked by the weapon in Ah Xun's hand, but he didn't understand which one this guy was singing at all, and after a pause of two seconds, he slowly raised his hand.
Li Rui was very puzzled when he saw this gesture of raising his hand, Death Walker, it sounded like such a charming name, how could a person be so cowardly, however, the next moment, as Death Walker's hand pointed forward, various different living corpses began to appear around.
Some of the corpses were already decomposed, with insects constantly falling to the ground with their footsteps, while others had apparently been specially treated and looked like they had been air-dried. There are wild beasts, people, and even a few giant birds flying out of the sky, this is to bully the rhythm of the less!
The battle, on the verge of breaking out, only to hear the sound of the touch, the head of the Deathwalker blossomed, and fell head-on, and then the living corpses around him collapsed as if they had lost their support.
However, after the lesson of the sand scorpion last time, Ah Xun became extremely cautious, and felt that such a trick had to put at least two big moves to die, but what was disappointing was that this guy never got up again, but at this moment Wendy's eyes were more confused, and he looked at the gun in Ah Xun's hand in a daze, "Is this weapon called a gun?" I've never seen it before, and I thought that only the Alien was the most powerful, but I didn't expect that such a small weapon could kill a Deathwalker who was at least an intermediate Ability, is this the advanced technology of your aliens?"
In the end, it was exposed, and Li Rui was very annoyed, saying that he had come to help him improve the completion of the task, but how could he have ruined the good situation? This guy must have deliberately dropped, and he shot when he came up, which was very stylish, is it necessary to be so ferocious to deal with this kind of war scum? Li Rui may never have imagined that if Ah Xun hadn't shot fast enough, a few people would have really stayed here forever.
"This is not an advanced technology, it can only be regarded as a portable and easy-to-use belonging, and the miniature laser gun that Li Rui is equipped with is the latest product, which is much more lethal than my old antique. ”
"Is it more powerful than this? Then it seems that only the transcendent is your opponent!"
"It can't be said that even if it is a junior ability, as long as it strikes first, ordinary earthlings are estimated to have no time to shoot. But then again, is the transcendent level so powerful, and you are not afraid of the blossoming of your head?" Ah Xun was interested in Wendy's statement.
"A transcendental ability means that the spiritual power has exceeded the tolerance range of the body, and can rely on the spiritual power to become an independent existence outside the body, and such an abnormal person, even if the body dies, the spiritual power can still continue to exist. Wendy's explanation made the eyes of the three of Ah Xun widen.
"So strong, isn't that the legendary immortal existence?" Li Rui almost forgot about the mission, no matter what, this time his mission is over, unless he catches this girl back to the mothership and locks her up, or there is a way to let Ah Xun get her.
"It's not like that, the limit of life expectancy still exists, and you can live longer without relying on your body, and you will eventually die. ”
"Where did you know all this?" Ah Xun was very curious about how this seemingly innocent girl became so knowledgeable, although the appearance of the Nohir people could not tell the age, but the personality could always be more or less distinguished.
"The library. ”
"Well, when I didn't ask, I don't have a common language with Xueba. ”
"Now that I know your secret, are you going to kill people next?" Wendy thought of a question that left everyone speechless.
"Do we seem so cruel?" After half a sound, Li Rui finally couldn't help but speak, he felt very aggrieved, "I don't know if Ah Xun will do anything to you, but if you look at me like this, then we will be friends." ”
"Li Rui, you have a deep opinion of me, do you mean, I'm very cruel?"
"Wasn't it cruel when you just killed that Deathwalker?" Li Rui expressed strong dissatisfaction with Ah Xun's behavior of pulling out his gun for no reason.
"Then blame me? But can this be the same? That guy is to blame, just because you know who we are, he killed you too, and I'm not a perverted murderer like him. "I know that if I don't shoot, terrible things will happen next, and I'm too lazy to tell you what didn't happen, and there's nothing to say.
"Why don't you come with us to the mothership? Seeing that Wendy's complexion eased, Li Rui said his thoughts in a timely manner, but as soon as these words came out, Wendy changed color again, and she was about to become a chameleon.
"Are you going to imprison me?"
"Don't be so serious, the council will convene in a few days to discuss the issue of earthlings, and it will be resolved soon, just invite you to be a guest. Seeing Wendy's pitiful look, Li Rui felt that he was about to cry.
"Can I not go?"
"Yes!" Ah Xun didn't wait for Li Rui to speak, he preemptively answered, in his opinion, Li Rui's task has basically achieved the best effect, and continuing to stay is to gain some knowledge of the supernatural, in this regard, there are many ways, and there is no need to take this risk.
"But ......" Li Rui still wanted to say something, but Ah Xun didn't let Li Rui continue to dwell on this issue, meaningless things, no need to bother to speak: "It's okay, we are also comrades-in-arms who were born and died together, although this birth and death were too smooth, but as revolutionary friends, we must have the most basic trust in each other." Ah Xun unconsciously snorted haha.
Li Rui really didn't dare to compliment Ah Xun's logic, but just squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Okay." ”
"Are you still looking for the ring?" Jennifer finally found her presence, and she had a mission here.
"No need to look for it, the ring is on this guy's hand, if I'm not mistaken, this is a trap, specifically to lure some low-level abilities to send them to death!" Ah Xun looked at the death walker lying on the ground not far away, and made a bold inference, but it sounded like the truth.
Jennifer felt that her sense of existence was buried again, and she was very unwilling: "Then let's go for nothing?"
"Of course not, let's search for this guy. Li Rui took the first step to turn over the corpse, and Wendy and Jennifer who were watching unnaturally retreated.
"A wallet, I look at it, there are a few dragon scale coins and a dozen exchange coupons for one hundred dragon scale coins in it, and I earned it now, but wouldn't it be bad to take the dead man's things like this?"
"What's wrong with not taking it here and rotting? "Ah Xun thinks it's cheap, if he shoots late, he will definitely not be as comfortable as he dies.
"It's a notebook. Li Rui handed it to Wendy, thinking that only she could understand it.
Wendy borrowed the notebook and flipped through it casually: "It's about some basic knowledge of Deathwalker, evil things, throw it away?"
"Why throw it away, leave this to me. Ah Xun took the note, oops, I don't understand, forget it, let's talk about it later.
"A map and an old key. Li Rui handed it to Wendy again.
"This map doesn't look like it's from this continent. ”
"That's all he has. In the end, Li Rui was very disappointed, and it was just this thing?
Ah Xun obviously thought of it with Li Rui: "It's just such a thing, I finally ran into a humanoid monster, and I didn't explode two artifacts to play, it's too disappointing!"
"What?" Wendy didn't understand what Ah Xun meant at all, what was the situation with the artifact?
"It's nothing, we should go back, first divide the spoils on the spot, rings, money, notes, maps and keys, the notes belong to me, and the other three of you can choose the same." Ah Xun put the handbook in his pocket, although he can't understand it now, there will always be a way in the future, what if it is some kind of great magic skill, he will dominate the martial arts by practicing it casually? Who can say this kind of thing clearly?
"You don't have to choose this, Nohir's money is only needed by Wendy, and the rest doesn't seem to be very useful. Jennifer looked at these inconsequential gains, looking interested.
"The ring is mine. Li Rui took the ring, turned around and knelt down on one knee, and looked at Jennifer affectionately: " My dear, thank you for your companionship over the past few years, from the first hello of acquaintance, I knew that I was going to fall into your hands, your cuteness, your willfulness, your confusion, your tenderness, every one of you has become a part of my life, I used to try to avoid this topic, because at that time we had no future, I didn't dare to hope, but now it's different, we have a new home, no matter how much wind and rain there will be in the future, as long as there is tomorrow, I can shelter you from the wind and rain, Jennifer, marry me!" The action is done in one go, the language is exciting, and the eyes are unwavering, it is simply an actor level, if this ring is not obtained by accident, it is very suspicious that Li Rui was premeditated.
The other three were completely stunned on the spot, on this occasion, do you want to do this?
Before Li Rui finished speaking, Jennifer was already crying with joy, although she was still shouting, "How can you propose like this, just pick up a ring and want to fool me, do you think I will be very moved?"
