Chapter 54: Tens of Thousands of Miles Away (1st Update)
"Captain Shi Feng, without further ado......" Xia Jiang, who had made a decision in his heart, immediately told Shi Feng of his thoughts, and said: "Princess Ziqi will bring me a message by the way, just say that I am fine now, so that she doesn't have to worry, and she will have to practice more when she has time!" Xia Jiang is most worried about this fifteenth princess, she is too naughty, if she accidentally lets him run out, the blood fly will not care who the target is, and it will be a bunch of blood fly eggs and larvae.
Seeing that Xia Jiang was so determined, Shi Feng didn't say much, and immediately went to pass on the instructions.
Seeing that Xia Jiang was so decisive to join the fly extermination operation, this bone man who claimed to be a bone refiner seemed to be very surprised, and said: "Little brother, you trust the deity so much, aren't you afraid that the deity will deceive you?" As he spoke, the flames in his skull trembled, and he looked dark.
"Intuition, juniors trust their instincts and don't lie to themselves. Xia Jiang smiled slightly, said, but then asked: "Speaking of which, the junior still doesn't know the senior's honorific name?"
"All the friends on this earth call the deity 'Qi Lao'. The bone man said lightly, and the meaning of his words was clear. At this moment, if there were other bone refiners like this, they would definitely be surprised, because the people who could be treated as friends by this old man could be counted on one hand in this entire wild land.
Xia Jiang was not polite, so he said: "Qi Lao, time waits for no one, that junior will go and kill the blood fly now, don't tell you, junior I saw this kind of thing for the first time, I have an idea of exterminating it!" Xia Jiang said the truth, he did look at the so-called "undead blood flies" very unhappy, not because they ruined his hunting plan, but because they really had a heartfelt disgust for this creature.
"Quack...... Then let's go......" When Qi Lao heard Xia Jiang's words, he let out a strange laugh, which made Xia Jiang feel worse than crying.
Turning around quickly, Xia Jiang caught up with the last few brute bulls in a few breaths, at this time Captain Shi Feng had already passed the news and turned back, although Xia Jiang now has the ability to kill blood flies alone, but without his continuous flame assistance, he is still not at ease, because once he is not eliminated in time and is targeted by more blood flies, it will be very troublesome.
The Demon Devouring Sword in Xia Jiang's hand had accumulated a lot of fire elemental power in the battle of Shicai, and now he was able to control it in a state of demon addiction, so there was no waste of consumption after the first battle, which allowed him to last longer.
However, with the assistance of Captain Shi Feng, of course he was happier, and it was faster and more decisive to kill, so the two of them entered tacit cooperation again, and began to work faster, almost improving the overall efficiency of the battle to a terrible point.
......
At this moment, in the jungle tens of thousands of kilometers away from here, a woman is silently playing the piano by the river.
It's quiet on weekdays, and it's rarely crowded, except for high-star adventuring teams, as the area is notoriously dangerous and dangerous.
But this woman, without any equipment on her body, did not carry any magic weapons in her hands, dressed in a snow-white gauze skirt and a piano, just sat quietly in the jungle by the river and played softly, most of the time her eyes were closed, as if she was intoxicated, and she seemed to be drowsy, as if she was stroking the piano in a dream.
In the distance, at this time, there were several young figures walking, three men and two women, looking fully equipped, at first glance, it was a high-star adventure group, after all, it was such a dangerous place, and there were no weak adventurers who could enter.
However, although these people were well prepared, they were still cautious, and as soon as they walked here, they were attracted by the sound of the piano, and they couldn't help but sweep over, and at a glance they saw that it was a beautiful woman dressed in white like snow.
"Look, how can there be a lonely woman here, who seems to be still playing the piano," said the young man at the front ......of the line, pointing to the side.
Several people hurriedly looked over, and they all saw it, and they were amazed.
However, one of them had a calm face, only glanced slightly, and said: "Don't forget our task, now is the time to hurry up and do the task, and it is less than a month before signing up......" This person said this, and did not say any more, it seems that everyone knows it.
Sure enough, as soon as several people heard him say this, they immediately reined in their curiosity, and one of the girls also added: "Brother Xuan is right, besides, what's so good about playing the piano, I'll play it for you when I go back." ”
But as soon as the girl said this, the person at the front quipped: "You specially played it to your brother Xuan, how can we have this blessing......"
The other teenager smiled when he heard this, and he didn't object, but the girl was happy and said, "Why, is it because Brother Zicheng, your good sister ignores you, and is going to find a companion outside?"
Not to mention, when she said this, several people around her nodded in agreement, thinking that there was a reason for this.
The young man who was regarded as a topic seemed to be touched, and suddenly became solemn, looking at the expression of the woman by the river, and muttered: "Maybe this is really my beard Cheng's fate?"
Saying this, several people immediately looked at each other, but a young man changed his attitude and signaled: "What Brother Zicheng said is also good, I see that Brother Xuan and I have our own cultivation partners, as teammates, we should also consider Brother Zicheng's cultivation, which is also a good thing for the team!"
Hearing him say this, they all seemed to agree, and even the young man known as "Xuan" thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
At this time, everyone's eyes paid serious attention to the woman by the river, but because it was the backside, it was impossible to see her face and approximate age. Therefore, on the premise of not disturbing each other's playing the piano, several people cautiously made a detour to approach.
Almost just when several people were very close and were about to see each other's positive images, suddenly the water surface in the river churned, and several huge bubbles bubbled up out of thin air.
Imagine that the beautiful woman playing an intoxicating melody by the woods and river, the river is in the mirror, and the birds are jumping, what a fresh and elegant wonderful feeling, and suddenly the river is bubbling with its huge bubbles, how weird and weird.
And before this weirdness completely startled a few people, they saw a huge head like a human face suddenly emerge from the surface of the river. The reason why it is said to be like a human face is because the face of this creature with a huge head looks very similar to the facial features of a human being.
"That's ...... Giant mermaid!" One of the adventurers immediately recognized the creature that suddenly appeared from the surface of the river, and was startled, and the whole person took a few steps back.
When several people heard about it, they obviously knew what the "giant mermaid" was, and they couldn't help but retreat, as if it was too close to the river and it was unsafe.
Naturally, they all know that the giant mermaid, which can be bought everywhere in the book, is a kind of water beast, with a huge head, with a human face, but the body is an ordinary fish, because they have a huge head, so these beasts are beasts with advanced intelligence, although their own strength is not strong, but their strong minds make them often sneak attack and kill the team of adventurers who are higher than their strength.
Although they had not fought with such creatures, none of these adventurers wanted to try it, and they did not want to check the rumors in the book for themselves.
Looking at the past again, before they could prepare their minds, they saw more faces by the river, and then more faces began to appear in rows, and then, on the nearest tree by the river, suddenly there was a violent tremor, and an unknown small beast of prey scurried down from above.
This movement is very large, if people are under the tree, they will definitely feel strange, they will definitely look up, and at this moment when they should have looked up, the river surged violently, and a total of dozens of giant mermaids, large and small, roared out of the water, opened their mouths that could bite off the human head, and sprinted out.
Seeing the turmoil in the trees and the water at the same time, none of the five adventurers could guarantee that they would dodge the attack in that state.
And that's not all, they stood far away, after hearing this roaring and roaring, their heads instantly dizzy, almost making them hallucinate, feeling that the giant mermaid was coming to attack them, and a bloody mouth had swallowed their heads!
"Ahh
However, there was a person next to him, and he hurriedly hugged her, which seemed to be a double cultivation relationship, which woke her up from her hallucination.
And at this moment, from a distance, the woman who was undoubtedly about to be devoured by the giant mermaid, her fingers quickly plucked the strings at this time, destroying the original beautiful sound of the piano at once, and then the white arm waved like water, and a series of piano sounds popped out like water waves, and the white sleeves flew away, and the giant mermaids who were already in mid-air all seemed to have hit some barrier, and their eyes fell weakly from mid-air.
And the river that was being disturbed by this massive giant mermaid actually rolled up with the sound of the piano, surging towards the opposite bank one after another, and actually shortened the river bank line, making it difficult for these giant mermaids to return to the river.
Looking at the trees again, the small beast that had rushed down was directly shocked by the sound of the piano.
The sound of the piano echoed through the jungle, gradually falling.
When they looked at the woman again, they saw that dozens of giant merfolk were just biting the mud and waging their tails on the shore, and their eyes were full of fear.
"It's ......"
The eyes of several members of the adventure group widened, and they all showed shocked looks, because at this time, they finally understood that this woman was ignorant and played the piano here, she was simply ...... Hunt here!
The giant mermaid itself has extremely high intelligence, as well as the sensory perception ability that is not inferior to that of humans, so that the slightly mature giant mermaid has a lot of treasures, not only can be sold at an excellent price, but it is also a very popular high-grade food in the tavern.
Seeing the strength of this mysterious woman, the young man who was going to know about it just now no longer moved forward, and seemed to be very self-aware and said: "I didn't expect such a young woman to have such strength, she probably already has the strength of a cultivator, right?!" He had heard that there would be many proud sons of heaven gathered around the Imperial Courtyard during this time, and this time he finally believed it.
A young girl listened to it but didn't think so, and seemed to comfort her companion: "Brother Zicheng, don't be depressed, you must know that the Imperial Academy enrolls students, and there are hundreds of amazing characters every year, if you are allowed to see those geniuses who are stronger and younger than you, don't you have to be angry?"
Receiving this comfort, the man nodded suddenly, feeling reasonable, and immediately stopped being nostalgic for this place, signaling that it was important to do the task.
It wasn't until these adventurers left here that the woman turned her head and swept the place where the few people were staying, and then she slowly turned her head to look at the distant side, her gaze seemed to have traveled tens of thousands of kilometers and fell on the young man who didn't know where he was at the moment.
