Chapter 31: What's That?!
Jumping down from the back of the steel-armored rhinoceros, Liu Gu stretched his waist and showed a relaxed smile on his face, "Little boss, what kind of resources do you want to collect?" ”
"That's it." Xu Ran picked a ripe green jade fruit and gestured to everyone, "This is a necessary resource for all pet beast food production, and eating it directly can restore strength to a certain extent, but it doesn't taste good." ”
"How bad does it taste?" Liu Gu casually picked one and bit a tooth mark, then his face turned dark, and he quickly turned his head and spit it out to the side.
"Hahaha, the little boss said that it tastes bad, you still have to try it." Liu Xue covered her mouth and smiled, and the other team members also shook their heads helplessly.
"Isn't that curiosity?" Liu Gu scratched his head, "Little boss, you need to collect a hundred catties, right, let's help you?" ”
"Okay." Regarding Liu Gu's kindness, Xu Ran did not refuse.
"Uncle Liu, you see, like this, the surface has completely turned cyan, and the one that shows a translucent texture is a ripe green jade fruit."
"Got it!" Liu Gu made a "no problem" gesture and went into the bushes to pick them neatly.
"It's dangerous to stay outside the city for an extra second, so let's all help out and go back together as soon as possible." Zhang Yun waved his hand and pulled other members to help, and even the pet beasts were not idle.
The ripe green jade fruit was the size of a fist, and under the joint efforts of everyone, it was soon filled with a sack.
"Almost a hundred pounds." Liu Gu tied up the mouth of the sack, weighed it and nodded slightly, "Little boss, is this enough?" ”
"That's enough."
Glancing at novice task 3, he made sure that he met the requirements, and he only needed to bring this hundred catties of green jade fruit back to the store to complete the task, Xu Ran nodded.
"In that case, let's get back to the city as soon as possible." Zhang Yun looked around, his expression was slightly serious, "I've been outside the city for a long time, I'm afraid something will happen." ”
"Captain, you're too cautious." Yan Fan said with some disapproval, "It's been less than an hour since we left the city, and we haven't encountered a single transcendent creature in this hour. ”
"It's because I haven't encountered a single transcendent creature that I don't feel right." Zhang Yun said in a deep voice, "Have you ever encountered a hostile transcendent creature in an hour out of the city before?" ”
"This..."Hearing Zhang Yun say this, Yan Fan couldn't help but shake his head, "This doesn't seem to be true." ”
"As soon as the captain said that, I found out." Liu Xue looked puzzled, "Could it be that we are more lucky today?" ”
"Don't leave anything to chance." Zhang Yun shook his head slightly, "There must be a demon when something goes wrong, no matter what the reason is, we don't need to take risks." ”
Xu Ran, who heard the exchange between the three of them, subconsciously touched the lucky charm hidden in the neckline.
The lucky charm still shines, a symbol that has not yet taken effect.
It seems that it wasn't their own lucky charms that worked.
Is there really a problem?
His heart tightened slightly, and he couldn't help but get nervous because of Zhang Yun's analysis, and couldn't help but interject, "The resources have been collected, let's go back quickly." ”
As an employer, Xu Ran said this, and several people didn't say more, and carefully tied the sack full of green jade fruits to the back armor of the steel rhinoceros and quickly jumped onto its back.
"Let's go!" Du Heng spoke softly, and the steel-armored rhinoceros let out a low roar, stepped out of four strong and powerful thighs, trampled on the ground, accompanied by a "boom" sound, and quickly returned along the road he came.
"We're going to have a few days of rest when we get back to the city." Liu Gu stretched his waist and smiled at Xu Ran, "Actually, we planned to rest after finishing that vote yesterday, little boss, you have a commission, so go out of the city again." ”
"So little boss, if you have a similar commission in the future, remember to give priority to our tiger hunting team~" Liu Xue looked at Xu Ran with a smile.
"Okay, if there's a demand." Xu Ran nodded.
I got along with a few people from the Tiger Hunting Team, and I was familiar with them after coming and going, so if there was really a need for hiring in the future, finding them would naturally be the best choice.
On the way back, the atmosphere was more relaxed, and several people sitting on the steel armored rhinoceros chatted one after another.
"Boom!"
The sudden decrease in the speed of the steel armored rhinoceros made the chatter of several people come to an abrupt end.
It turned its head to look around in disbelief, looking uneasy.
"Du Heng, what's wrong?" Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned his head to look at Du Heng.
"The Steel-Armored Rhino sensed a strange tremor of the earth." Du Heng touched the head of the steel-armored rhinoceros to appease him, communicated with it, and quickly spoke, "This strange vibration makes it a little uneasy. ”
"A strange tremor?" Du Heng frowned slightly.
As an earth-based pet beast, the steel armored rhinoceros is more sensitive to the vibration of the earth, and the vibration that can make it feel uneasy is not trivial.
Thinking of the ominous premonition he had since he left the city, Du Heng quickly stood up on the back of the steel armored rhinoceros and looked in the direction of Qingzhou City.
At their current position, they could already faintly see the towering walls of Qingzhou City.
"Let it bear with it, we have a quarter of an hour to go before we reach the gates." Zhang Yun patted Du Heng's shoulder, and was about to say something more, when Yan Fan's exclamation suddenly came from the side, "What's that?!" ”
Zhang Yun turned his head violently, and the other team mates and Xu Ran also followed Yan Fan's line of sight and looked into the distance.
On the other side of the wilderness, something seemed to be surging around.
At first, you could only faintly see some churning smoke, but after only a few breaths, everyone saw extraordinary creatures of different shapes hidden in the smoke.
Not only on the earth, but also in the sky, there are many extraordinary creatures with hideous forms circling and flying.
As if they had received an order, these transcendent creatures all rushed towards the direction of Qingzhou City, and the momentum was terrifying.
"It's... Beast tide! Zhang Yun's pupils shrank suddenly, and a little pale and frightened appeared on his face.
Hearing these two words, the expressions of the other four people also became extremely frightened.
This pattern of killing in numbers is the most powerful weapon for transcendent beings to attack human cities.
Even with the towering and sturdy walls, humanity still pays an unimaginable price every time it faces a tide of beasts.
"Turn around and run out of town!" Zhang Yun's face was unprecedentedly solemn, and his voice became a little hoarse, "This time it's a big trouble." ”
"Can't you rush to Qingzhou City?" Xu Ran said anxiously, "With the speed of the steel-armored rhinoceros, there should be time to rush to the city gate before the beast tide arrives, right?" ”
"I can't get in." Liu Gu said in a deep voice, "The beast master in charge of the city defense must have seen the movement of the beast tide, and the city gate has been locked at this moment. ”
"Between opening the gates to save us and causing the beast tide to storm the gates and causing them to inflict a devastating blow, and closing the gates, the beast masters of the city defense will only choose the latter."
