Chapter 52: Encounter

When he woke up in the morning, Xiu felt his face wet. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Asahi sleeping on top of him. The little guy slept badly, and saliva flowed down his face.

"Hey, it's time for the sun to burn your ass, it's time to get up. Xiui slapped Asahi's little ass.

"No, Daddy, let me sleep a little longer. Asahi rolled over and slipped into the grass next to him.

Xiui went to the mountain stream and fetched water to wash his face. Despite living in the jungle, he took care of his image, and at least a month of life did not make him look like a savage.

Looking at the stream, Hue touched his chin, where a few sparse hairs came out.

"I've got a beard?" said Huey, a little amused.

My second life has finally begun to fully mature?

The communication crystal in his arms rang, and it was Haley: "Hey, boss, look good." ”

"Okay, how's your guys doing over there?"

"What else? Fight every day, either kill or be killed. Haley's tone was relaxed.

The Dardanelles traveled to Winlington, and the Vengeful Spirits went to Sido, the land of chaos. Under the leadership of the Six Heavenly Kings, they soon took root in that place where they only recognized their strength.

The prisoner rogue fought a few fierce battles against the savage natives at first, but now that the vengeful spirits have taken over a small town in Sido, surrounded by rivals who are looking at each other, the situation is far more complicated than initially expected. Fortunately, Haley is a knowledgeable veteran who knows how to do things in this environment, and Huey advises him from afar, and his life is thrilling.

"Thank you for your hard work. Huey said thankfully.

"You're welcome, how have you been cultivating lately?"

"The road to promotion has been bumpy, but the future is bright. Huey laughed.

The two of them briefly chatted about the situation on Sido's side, and Xiu Yi learned that the Vengeful Spirit was currently stable, was developing steadily, and his fame was gradually spreading. Since Xiu Yi's current relationship with the Reims Empire is at a delicate moment, Xiu Yi asked Haley to make every effort to develop and stabilize his forces in Cido for the time being, and not to rush to the Reims Empire for the time being.

"Hopefully, the change in your relationship with the Reims Empire won't leave us unemployed. Everybody is counting on you to pay your salary. ”

"Learn to be self-reliant, Haley, and don't try to get anything out of me. ”

"What a stingy boss. ”

"A stingy boss will squeeze your blood and sweat, and I'm generous enough. Don't worry, you will never be unemployed, I find that there is more and more to explore in this world. Even if we are no longer at war with the Reims Empire, there will be countless things to do in the future. ”

"Well, good luck. ”

"Good luck to all of us. ”

Interrupting the call, Xiu contacted Nancy in the valley again, "How's the situation in the lab?"

"I was a little too busy to get a lot of original parts from the Alchemy Factory, but luckily Lilith came to help me. Paddy, this little bastard is always a troublemaker, and he misses you so much. ”

"I'm sorry Nancy, the existence of the Valley Lab is important to me, and I can't risk bringing someone I don't trust over to you as an assistant, this time can only be hard for you. "Xiui apologizes.

"It's okay, it's always coping. You are cultivating alone in the jungle, so you should pay more attention to safety and don't be too reckless. ”

"I will. ”

"By the way, there's good news. I have made all the materials that Royo City owed on credit to make alchemy products according to your orders. Just send this shipment out, and then we don't owe them any more debt. ”

"It's not bad news to be in arrears, Nancy. To get someone to serve you, it is more effective to owe him money than to lend him money. Now that you can pay off the debt, let's borrow another one, you contact Christine and ask her to go and pay another batch of materials on credit. If the Dardanelles are to become the largest debtor in Winrington and owe enough money, the Dardanelles' position in Winrington will be greatly enhanced. No one will dare to disobey the words of the family. ”

"You're such a bad boy, Huey, okay I'll do it. ”

Xiu Yi also smiled: "I really don't know what to do without you, Nancy, you are my biggest pillar, but you are unknown." ”

"Save that to the young girls. Nancy ended the call with a smile.

Then Huey contacted Buckler: "Brian, how's your situation going over there?"

"All the best, Operation Gecko has already started its first steps. ”

"Good. ”

"Huey ......"

"What's the matter?"

"I don't understand why you're in such a hurry to launch Operation Gecko, aren't things already improving? ”

"Raschel has taught me what it means to have someone outside of me, and my experience has taught me that things are never easy. ”

"It doesn't sound like you're expecting anything. ”

"It's better to have a way out than no way out, you are the only people I care about, I don't want you to have problems, it's time to make a decision, and give everyone an explanation. ”

"Did Raschel force you to do this, because he found out who you are?"

“...... Yes. So Operation Gecko is no longer a backup plan, but a must plan, a plan that will allow the Dardanelles family to develop better. ”

"Then why bother doing it while you're cultivating, it's too dangerous. ”

"It could be more justifiable, not to mention that it can really bring me some benefits. ”

“...... Well, the plan has already begun anyway, and now it's too late to regret it. By the way, will you ever go back to Winlington?"

"Of course, at least one more time to go back, here is just the process, that there is the result. As for the future...... Let's talk about it as it sees. Huey laughed.

"So...... Good luck. ”

Communication is lost.

Huey suddenly had the feeling that he felt like a company boss living in the 21st century, directing the heads of various places through remote control. The communication crystal is like a wireless telephone, and the effect is remarkable and obvious, so that even if he is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, he can also know the situation in various places.

The fly in the ointment is that the communication crystal can only talk to one person at a time, and it would be nice to make a communication crystal with the ability to talk to multiple parties, so that you can have a conference call. Xiui can even travel all over the world on his own and continue to direct his own business.

As soon as the idea came to him, it lingered in Xiuyi's mind. Since leaving Purgatory Island, he has been learning new alchemy, improving various spells and fighting qi abilities, and has hardly worked researching and inventing new alchemy. Speaking from the heart, Xiuyi's alchemy attainments, the strongest aspect is the spatial aspect, and the others are actually learned from their predecessors. The communication crystal no longer has the ability to talk to multiple parties, but that doesn't mean it won't be in the future. If you do your own research......

Huey shook his head, pushing down the tempting thought. His current priority is to raise the level of the samurai first, and strive to become a high-level samurai in the shortest possible time, so he really doesn't have the energy to be distracted and multi-use. When you become a high-level samurai, you can consider taking some time to study.

It was already dawn, and the red fox came over with a conscious pace. It now has to fight Xiu Yi several times a day, and gradually gets used to Xiu Yi's methods. It seems that the boy only wants to fight, not kill himself, so his fear of Xiui gradually decreases. Interestingly, it and Asahi became friends, a puppy transformed into a demon dragon and a little blood fox had nothing to do and often made out. Although dragons are said to be lewd, from the perspective of Asahi's age, they should still be in a pure friendship relationship at present.

"Come on. Hue hooked his finger at the red fox.

The red fox begins to transform, and a fierce battle begins again.

When the battle was at its most intense, Xiuyi's heavy punches hit the blood fox again and again, and the painful blood fox hissed and roared, and finally let out an uncontrollable wail. Xiu Yi finally stopped attacking, checked his body, and noticed that the consumption of fighting qi had reached eighty percent, and this blood fox could no longer force out all his strength. He smiled at the Blood Fox, "Looks like you can't help me much. ”

Progressing in battle is undoubtedly the greatest human specialty, and this is an ability that Warcraft does not have.

The blood fox crawled on the ground and let out a mournful wail.

"Okay, don't look innocent, you're free from today, I'm going to go deeper and see if I can find a more suitable opponent. ”

Huey waved his hand at the little fox.

Just as he was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Over there, I heard the cry of a red fox. ”

As the voices shouted, several figures appeared at one end of the jungle.

The first one was a big man with a giant axe on his back, wearing brown leather armor and a copper nail belt around his waist. Several people appeared behind him, most of them dressed like him, and there was even a woman among them. Most of the weapons they hold in their hands are heavy weapons, which are best used against Warcraft. Some have special lassoes in their hands, and even special animal traps. Judging from these equipment, the few people who suddenly appeared were a bit like the professional Warcraft mercenaries, who specialized in capturing Warcraft and providing various resources and materials for a living. There are also those who call them poachers.

Seeing that Xiu Yi was over there, a few people who suddenly appeared were stunned.

"Head, there's a red fox. A man with a machete said to the man with a giant axe at the head.

"I can see it, but it's a pity that someone did it first. The giant axe man replied angrily. It was clear that the red fox had been defeated, and this should be the boy's masterpiece.

Someone looked greedily at the red fox on the ground: "Head, a red fox skin is worth two hundred gold wit, do you want us to ......?"

In the wilderness and jungle, the easiest thing to encounter is to rob the house. Poaching cameo robbers is not uncommon.

Although the boy can defeat a red fox, judging from the extent to which the boy is sweating and panting, that is already his limit.

"That kid is also the strength of a fifth-level samurai. The guy who made the suggestion had very poisonous eyes, and he could see Xiu Yi's fighting energy at a glance: "But I just fought with the red fox, I'm afraid that any second-level samurai can beat him down." ”

The giant axe man at the head squinted at Xiuyi.

The boy didn't panic or speak, just looked at them coldly.

Although he couldn't hear the other party, he could guess what these people were thinking, and it was obvious that his current situation was not suitable for continuing to fight, and some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

There are a total of seven people who came, and the leader should be a sixth-level samurai, and it seems that he is about to break through to the seventh level. As for the others, the lowest level is also level five, so it's no wonder that they dare to run to the edge of the land of divine grace. There were six samurai among the seven men, and one young man in a gray mage robe, who appeared to be a magic apprentice.

Poachers are a lowly group of social strata, and formal mages do not join them, nor do high-ranking samurai join them. From this point of analysis, the strength of the poacher team in front of you should be considered good. Xiu Yi thought to himself that with his own personal strength, he would never be the opponent of these seven people, not to mention that his current fighting energy consumption was extremely high, and his strength was greatly reduced. No wonder some people on the other side want to blush and want to take the opportunity to start.

Hue wasn't in a hurry, he wanted to see what choice his opponent would make.

The man at the head thought for a while, and then shouted to Xiuyi: "Hey, don't be nervous, we are passing by, and we just happened to meet." You're here to hunt monsters, aren't you? It's not easy to live these days. ”

Xiui nodded slightly. In a place like the Land of Divine Grace, ordinary people dare not enter, and those with status do not need to come in and take risks, only medium-level samurai like them, who have not been able to become high-level samurai and cannot enjoy the preferential treatment of the empire, are regarded as a good place to make a fortune.

"Looks like you've got a red fox. The big man at the head looked at the little fox on the ground with undisguised envy in his eyes, and then he shook his head: "You have to be glad that you ran into me, Harry Gains, and I will not rob you of your booty." ”

"So...... Thank you so much. Huey replied.

Harry Guns and several of his men walked towards Huey.

Xiu Yi's brow furrowed, "Please don't get too close to me." ”

Harry paused in embarrassment, touching the back of his head, "Hey, you don't believe me? I just wanted to talk to you, do you know where there are blood pythons around here?"

"You're looking for a blood python?"

"Yes, the blood python's teeth, scales, and venom are very popular with alchemists and can be sold for a good price. They like to live where there's water, so that's where we came. ”

"Walking down this mountain stream, there is a blood python nest four hundred meters away, and there are two large blood pythons in it, with a strength of level nine, and four small blood pythons, which are not harmful. ”

"You've seen it?"

Xiu Yi nodded, he had lived here for more than ten days, and it was already clear what magical beasts were nearby.

"I couldn't beat the blood pythons, so I didn't provoke them. You know that most of the monsters have their own fixed areas of activity, and as long as they don't enter their territory, they won't actively provoke humans. ”

"That's it. Harry Guns nodded: "So, you're also here to hunt monsters?"

"Sort of. Xiu Yi thought for a moment, nodded and said. Pretending to be a Warcraft hunter can save a lot of tongues.

"Then congratulations, this red fox alone can make you rich. ”

"Thank you. Huey replied politely.

Listening to this tone, Harry Gearns really didn't plan to rob Huey.

One of the Monster hunters was a little anxious, and leaned over to Harry Gearns and whispered, "Hey, head, are you really going to leave like this? That's two hundred Jinwit, enough for the brothers to go to the kiln for a long time." ”

"Shut up, Leyson, I, Harry Gearns, haven't fallen to the point where I'm going to rob even the kids. Harry Guns unceremoniously lectured a few bastards around him.

Then he turned to Hue and said, "Don't mind, my buddies are going crazy with poverty. The truth is that I'm not a good person either, and we occasionally do things that aren't so moral. But today you're lucky, I don't want to do that. ”

"Why?" Huey wondered.

"Don't rob children, don't rob women, that's the principle, kid. Harry Guns replied angrily.

"I like principled people. Huey laughed as he took a few steps back.

It looked like he was going to put away the red fox on the ground, but at that moment, the red fox, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly rolled over and got up and entered the jungle like an arrow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The Monster Hunters, who had thought that Xiu Yi had killed him, screamed at the same time when they saw the red fox running away.

"Damn, that red fox is alive!" someone cried out.

"This little idiot!" the others cursed angrily.

It seems that it is not Xiu Yi who lost the red fox at this moment, but this group of monster hunters.

Harry Guns was also stunned for a moment, and he looked at Xiui in disbelief: "You didn't kill it?"

"In fact...... I thought I had killed it. Huey replied.

"You must be working as a Monster hunter for the first time. Harry Gearns sighed: "The red fox is a cunning beast that is very good at pretending to be dead, but it's a pity, it's a pity that it has a good skin worth two hundred Jinwit." ”

"I see, this is indeed the first time I have been in this jungle. Huey confirms the other party's mistake with a truthful sentence.

"If you're lucky, it's not easy for a person to run here and survive until now. What's your name?"

Andrew ...... Jebusak. Huey replied.

"Well, in that case, I'll call you Andrew. I said, Andrew, you're here alone anyway, are you interested in messing with me?" said Harry Gunnes suddenly.

"Messing with you?" said Huey, a little surprised.

"That's right, as a fifth-level warrior, alone on the edge of this land of divine grace, and an inexperienced rookie, I must say that you are really lucky. But luck won't favor you forever, but fortunately you met me. I, Harry Guns, am also a veteran in this area, and I think you can defeat a red fox by yourself, and you can do it well. You can follow us and catch Warcraft together, so that the security will be greatly improved. ”

"Catch the blood python?" Huey asked.

"Of course it's not just the blood python. Harry Gearns laughed, "We're going to catch a level 10 monster." ”

Catch a level 10 Demonic Beast?The strength of a Rank 10 Demonic Beast is stronger than that of an Earth Warrior, and the jungle environment can allow these Demonic Beasts to exert their maximum strength. The group of people in front of him didn't even have a high-level warrior, and they also wanted to catch a tenth-level demonic beast, it was too unexpected, right?

The ninth-level blood python can still deal with it with the strength of the crowd, and the tenth-level demonic beasts, with just these few, I am afraid that it will not be enough for the other party to cook.

Huey was speechless.

"Hey, boy, are you scared?" someone on the other side laughed wildly.

"Yes, I was scared by you. "Huey honestly admits it. He didn't say that he wasn't frightened by the tenth-level demonic beasts, but by the arrogance of these people.

"Don't worry, boy, since we dare to come, we are sure. If you're willing to join us, we'll give you a share when we catch the Vajra rhino, but it's up to you to decide how much you want based on your performance, and I'll have the final say along the way. ”

It turned out that they were dealing with the Vajra rhinoceros.

Huey's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Okay, I'll join you. He said.
