Chapter 261: 'Friendship'
Zheng Qing woke up from his sleep, but before he opened his eyes, his consciousness was a little hazy, and his mind was still tumbling with the encounter in the dream.
All kinds of winds, black grass, colorful gems, huge black iron and bronze doors, the incarnation of the outer gods dressed in yellow, and the gifts that cannot be refused.
Gift!
The wizard shook his head vigorously, shook off the haze in his mind, and opened his eyes.
It's dawn.
Then he saw a large brown figure fleeing in panic.
It's those Zugo.
They clutched the snacks, gifts, and toys they had prepared for Jusi in their paws, and the crumbs of blankets and packaging were scattered everywhere, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of shredded bread.
Zhu Si!
After seeing the gift in the claws of the ancestors, Zheng Qing struggled out of the chaotic dream for only a second, recalling the scene before falling asleep last nightβthe little witch happily fiddled with the toys on the blanket, while he drank seven or eight bottles of potion in one go.
He looked around and saw no small figure in a tattered robe.
The last bit of dream in Zheng Qing's mind was drowned out by the well-being thoughts, and the waking consciousness reoccupied his mind - at the same time, a severe headache followed.
"Shhh
The Zugoths ran faster.
This time the headache was more severe than ever, and Zheng Qing felt that it was no longer someone who used an axe to chop off his own skull, but after cutting it, he poured it with boiling salt water, and by the way, he also stirred it with chopsticks.
The blank mind caused by the headache lasted for a long time.
When the headache was over, the young wizard came to his senses again, and his whole body was slumped on the grass, barely having the strength to get up.
"Awake?" a familiar, cold voice sounded in his ears.
Zheng Qing squinted his eyes with difficulty.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a huge purple spider with Nikita sitting on its back. He sighed inwardly, his gaze skimming over every edge of his view. Then he saw more of the picture.
A giant with black hair, four arms, fangs and tentacles on its head, a black creature that looks like a toad and tentacles around its mouth, a large red bird covered in scales with a head like a horse and bat's wings, and a creature with a canine-like face and claws and a humanoid shape that is full of filth.
All sorts of evil creatures surrounded the giant purple spider, and as if they had met the Empress, they fell to their knees under the corners of Nikita's robes.
Compared to them, Zheng Qing had seen those scourges in the Black Tide like well-behaved little white rabbits.
He didn't think he could handle so many monsters in his current state - he couldn't even enter a meditative state because of the headache, let alone visualize the talisman gun that was hidden in the box in his mind.
"What about her?" Zheng Qing was not interested in answering Nikita's words, but asked straight back. His voice was hoarse and dry, as if he hadn't drunk water for more than ten days.
He was asking about Zhu Si's whereabouts.
Nikita jumped off the huge purple spider and walked briskly to the wizard's side, bowing her head and examining him carefully, her eyes full of surprise.
Zheng Qing felt a little tired, closed his eyes, and snorted again with his nose: "What about her?"
"When I came here, you were the only one. The banshee did not seem to be offended at all, but replied very patiently, "...... The ancestors told me that after you fell asleep last night, the little girl took care of you for a while, and then she also fell asleep, and when she woke up, she went away. β
Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the next second, this breath was held in his chest.
β...... I asked Zhu Zhu to take the Zu Ge to find her," Nikita told the wizard casually but intimately, "Don't worry, the Zu Ge is the best tracker in the Dream Realm, and she will definitely be able to find her." β
That is, it has not been found yet.
Zheng Qing gritted his teeth and prayed for Zhu Si for a moment - run, run far, as long as she is not captured by the banshee, I hope she can borrow a little bit of her luck, because her luck has always been good.
As if hearing his heart, Nikita said the same thing.
"It looks like I'm lucky," she squatted beside Zheng Qing, although her scarlet eyes and voice were as cold as ever, but her face was full of smiles: "Originally, I only planned to wait for the rabbit, but I didn't expect the rabbit to jump directly into the pot...... I also peeled it off and marinated it with green onion and ginger. β
Zheng Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, feeling that this joke was not funny at all.
Because he's the rabbit.
"How did you get here?" asked the banshee curiously.
Zheng Qingle chatted with her for a while, maybe he could take advantage of this time to ease up.
"I don't know. He squinted slightly, looked around with his peripheral vision, and replied honestly, "Originally, I was lying on the stretcher of the hunting team...... Suddenly, it was dark in front of him, and then he came to his senses, and here he was, with Zhu Si next to him...... I guess it was because I had been trying to find her at the time, so I had a chance to be there for her. β
The banshee retracted her smile and gave her face a thoughtful expression.
"Sure enough," she nodded, "maybe I did it wrong...... If you want to find your goal in the fantasy world, you should do it as if you were a fantasy or a dream. β
Zheng Qing didn't quite understand the meaning of her words.
He didn't bother to think deeply.
Because any move that consumes brain power now may cause a headache again. He definitely didn't want to experience that again.
"What are you going to do with me. He lay on the ground, closed his eyes again, and asked lazily - the talisman in his mind had been faintly outlined, and he only needed to drag it for a little longer, and he would have the ability to resist.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Nikita grabbed Zheng Qing's tail, stroked it, looked at the wizard and shuddered, and laughed: "If I met you before, just eat it directly...... But now, a little hesitantly. β
"What are you hesitating about?" Zheng Qing gritted his teeth, trying to keep his voice calm.
It's just that his tail was caught, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.
"Because you look more like a demon than I am. The banshee tilted her head and circled Zheng Qing's tail around her wrist a few times, comparing which one looked better than the bracelet made of three black jiao.
The black Jiao showed a head and snorted fiercely at the cat's tail.
It's just that the cat's tail didn't take care of it.
