Chapter 19: If you play dead again, you're really dead
When Xu Shuo returned to the camp, he found that it was already a mess, and Parker, the butler, was arguing loudly with Barton about something.
“…… I'll give you more money, double the commission! Parker said.
"I said it! The captain is not here, and we can't make a decision, so what's the point to wait until Rudolph comes back! Barton said.
The sharp-eyed people spotted Rudolph and Xu Shuo and immediately shouted, "They're back!" ”
The maids, the butlers, and the hunters, who had already taken their weapons in their hands, all gathered around them like a tidal wave.
"What's going on?" Rudolph asked.
"Where have you been?! Just now we received a distress signal from the master, and we are going to pick up the master now, and take your people with us! Parker said to Rudolph in a commanding tone.
Before Rudolph could say anything, Barton called out first.
"Rudolph, the commission we received is only to protect the materials, and saving people is not included in the entrusted mission!"
Parker glared at Barton and said angrily, "Do you think you can still get a bounty if something happens to your employer?" You coward! ”
"What did you say?!"
Barton tried to fight back, but was stopped by Rudolph.
"Don't make any noise, listen to me." As soon as Rudolph spoke, the scene fell silent.
Rudolph first looked at Parker and said: "It's true that saving people is not in our entrustment agreement, but I can go with you to see the situation, but there are two conditions, the first one, if I can help, I will help, but if I judge that the situation is not good, I will retreat at any time and not sell my life." Second, no matter what the outcome is, as long as you are willing to go, you will have to pay three times the commission fee. Comments? ”
Parker gritted his teeth and didn't want to agree, but the master was in trouble, and he had to do his best to rescue him.
"Okay, you vampires, three times is three times, but you have to do your best, you can't do it perfunctory!" Parker said.
Xu Shuo sighed secretly in his heart, he was worthy of being an experienced bounty hunter, and the conditions he put forward were to triple his salary while protecting himself.
Rudolph looked at Barton and the others and said, "This matter is not within the scope of the commission, you can come together, or you can choose to stay here, depending on your own wishes." ”
Barton approached Rudolph and rubbed his beard and shook with excitement: "Rudolph, you think clearly, don't forget why the safety of this mission is so high, the two guards around Adam are both Lv5 powerhouses, they still have an accident with Adam, what does this mean?" If you want to help the hero, you will even get into it with your life! ”
Rudolph shook his head and said, "We are bounty hunters, and if our employer is in trouble in front of us, we just leave it alone, what will our peers think of us in the future?" ”
Hunters, you look at me, I'll look at you.
"Go ahead, triple the bounty."
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Grandma's, the axe is in hand, I haven't been afraid of anyone, go!"
Everyone agreed.
"Newcomer, what about you?" Rudolph looked at Xu Shuo.
"Me?" Xu Shuo shrugged, "Let's go." ”
Although he has been losing since coming to another world, Xu Shuo still has a mysterious confidence in himself, and everything in this world is just a game in his heart. Emergencies are the plot of the game, and there will always be rewards for clearing the customs, so why not. He is Xu Shuo, and he has never been afraid of anyone when playing games.
In order to save time, everyone untied the horses from the carriage, except for Xu Shuo, who couldn't ride a horse and rode with Rudolph, the rest of them each rode one horse, and followed a few butlers who were fighting to move towards the direction of the magic fog bomb rising.
The wind was howling, the horses' hooves were flying, the horses were galloping through the woods, and there were several times when they were about to hit the trunk of the tree, but fortunately, Rudolph had excellent riding skills, and he was always able to dodge at the last moment, but he still scared Xu Shuo into a daze.
(It's so stimulating that I'm!) Angela, are you absent? )
"Your lovely, holy, and graceful soul goddess Angela is here, what are you doing?" Angela's voice rang out again.
(Can you see what's going on with Adam Wink now?) )
"Adam Wink? I don't have a GPS location, and I can't help it unless you know his location. Angela said.
(Probably ahead of me, you look for it.) )
"Ahead of you? Let me see...... Oh, I found it, it's not very close to you, it's just a few hundred meters ahead, and Lilion is there, but they seem to be being hunted down. Angela said.
(Hunted down?) How many people are there? )
"About a dozen...... Not good, turn around! Turn around! Angela suddenly exclaimed.
(What's wrong?) )
"There's a Lv6 guy among the people chasing them, and if you just rush over like this, you'll be wiped out!" Angela said anxiously.
(What do you say?!) )
At this time, Xu Shuo and the others had already come to a thinly wooded area, and their vision gradually widened, Xu Shuo looked ahead, and vaguely saw more than a dozen shadows, and there was a touch of blue among the two people in the front, it was Lilian, and the other person should be Adam. The two men rode desperately towards this side, and behind them, a dozen unknown individuals were in hot pursuit.
Xu Shuo was about to say something to warn Rudolph of the danger, but Angela suddenly screamed.
"Back! Behind you! ”
Xu Shuo turned sideways to look behind him, and almost at the same time, something brushed Xu Shuo's cheek with a sharp edge.
First stinging, then gradually turned into a sharp pain like fire, Xu Shuo screamed and covered his cheeks, he touched something wet, and when he raised his hand, his palm had become bright red.
"It hurts! What's going on?! ”
Xu Shuo looked back again and found that behind the hunters, a young man in a straw hat was riding a horse following them, the young man holding a bow in one hand and putting a bow and arrow back on the string in the other, the tip of the arrow pointing directly in the direction of Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo recognized it at once, it was the guy driving the carriage on the way here!
"Rudolph! Behind! Xu Shuo reminded loudly.
But it was too late, the man's arrow seemed to hit the horse under Xu Shuo's crotch, the horse let out a cry of pain, and a shaking body hit the big tree on the side, Xu Shuo's vision flickered, and Rudolph and the two fell heavily to the ground together.
When he landed, Xu Shuo kowtowed, and his brain suddenly buzzed.
"Someone sneaked up... In the back..."
"Quick... Get him..."
The sound of horses' hooves, shouts.
All sounds become distant and tiny, entering one ear and exiting the other.
Xu Shuo saw a figure standing up beside him, as if it was Rudolph. Rudolph raised his hands, his palms blazing.
"The Spirit of Fire... Please give me a hand... Incinerate our enemies... Blazing fireball..."
Rudolph condensed a fireball with both hands and shot at someone.
Xu Shuo watched all this with blank eyes, and a voice in his heart told him "This is a fireball, it turns out that Rudolph is a magician", and another voice asked, "And then?" ”
And then what?
It's like asking questions in an echoing room.
And then what? And then what? And then what? And then what? ……
Until a voice woke him up.
"Stupid, run! If you play dead again, you're really dead! ”
It was Angela's voice.
