Chapter 243: No More Dragon Riders
Xiao Longnu placed the six-barreled heavy machine gun on a thick, long wooden table, took off her gray windbreaker, revealing her graceful figure.
She was wearing a one-piece black leather bodysuit that resembled the enhanced suit from "Gantz".
This tights is extremely form-fitting, not only outlining her exquisite and curvy body curves vividly, but also allowing the faint visible muscle lines on her arms, thighs and even lower abdomen.
Even if Ni Kun didn't observe deliberately, he could accurately judge Xiaolongnu's measurements with just a casual glance.
Xiao Longnu jumped onto the long table and sat down, with her legs bent and one hand around her knees. With the other hand, she took out a lollipop from somewhere and put it in her mouth. While sucking on the lollipop, she stared at Ni Kun intently.
Seeing this, Ni Kun stared at her without blinking.
Anyway, her tights are quite pleasing to the eye, and he won't suffer any loss or be fooled if she stares at him.
After staring at each other for a while, a flash of realization flashed across Xiao Longnu's beautiful eyes. After a slight hesitation, she took the lollipop out of her mouth and pretended to hand it to Ni Kun:
"Do you want to eat this?"
"..." Ni Kun's mouth twitched slightly and he shook his head: "Thank you, but I don't want to eat it."
"Okay." Xiao Longnu quickly put the lollipop back into her mouth and said in a slightly unclear voice:
"Now that you've found Xiaoya, what are your plans next?"
Xiaoya?
Is this your nickname for Altria?
I always feel that you are just trying to save trouble and are too lazy to call out that long list of names!
Ni Kun pondered for a moment and asked:
"What about you? What are your plans?"
Xiao Long Nu's left cheek was puffed up, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and she ate the candy happily:
"Of course we have to pass the levels. After passing this level, we will move on to the next level."
"So you have found the 'door' out of here?"
"Yes." Xiao Longnv nodded slightly: "The door should be in a sub-base of Skynet. Attack or sneak into that sub-base, find the door, and you can pass this level."
Ni Kun said: "With just the two of you, even if it's just a branch base, it wouldn't be easy to break in, right?"
King Daimao's "Wind King Iron Hammer" cannot even directly destroy a flying vehicle, so Xiaolongnu's strength is probably not that strong.
With their current strength, it would probably not be easy to break into the heavily guarded Skynet base filled with various types of robots and defense facilities.
"It's not that difficult actually." Xiao Longnv said, "We did a series of tasks before, and after completing the last link, we got an electromagnetic bomb, which should be enough to paralyze most of the Terminators and defense facilities in that sub-base."
There are games in the Guardian Temple, and they are immersive virtual reality games. Xuanzang once used this to trick Ni Kun and persuade him to become a guardian. As a guardian, Altria naturally knows how to accept "missions".
"You got this tights by completing a mission, right?" Ni Kun asked.
"Yes." Xiao Longnu gently stroked her right leg, from the knee to the ankle:
"This suit is great. It's not only bulletproof and explosion-proof, but it can also greatly enhance my strength and agility, and reduce my physical energy consumption. If necessary, it can also inject me with explosive potions. When I'm injured, it can also automatically inject me with first aid potions.
"I got it in the first level, and I've been wearing it until now, and it's still not outdated. I have to thank Xiaoya. If I hadn't met her in the first level, I really wouldn't know there is such a thing as a 'mission'."
Under the guidance of Altria, Xiaolongnu was able to obtain such a comprehensive and powerful enhanced suit in the first level. It seems that she is really lucky.
"So, what are your plans next?" Xiao Longnu looked at Ni Kun and asked the question again.
Ni Kun thought for a moment and said, "Let me help you through this first."
"Very good." Xiao Long Nu said, "With you, we should have a better chance of passing this level. What about after we pass it?"
Ni Kun said, " After that I have to try to find the last checkpoint and see if I can find a way to help Altria remove the pollution or take her away."
"What about me? You don't care about me?"
If you only read these words literally, it sounds like a little girl who is about to be abandoned, asking a plaintive question.
However, when Xiaolongnu spoke, not only was her expression calm, but even her tone was so flat, as if she was asking "Have you eaten?", which made Ni Kun couldn't help but secretly complain, could it be that she practiced the Ice Heart Art, so that she could have a heart as clear as ice and not be startled by the sky at any time?
But then again, the Tomb School's mental method was originally meant to control emotions and keep the mind cool and calm at all times.
If you become too excited, you may vomit blood and get injured.
Therefore, Ni Kun always felt that the Tomb School's mental methods were somewhat perverted and too distorted of human nature.
"Of course I won't ignore you. If I find a way to take people away, not only you, but all the other trapped people in this world...well, the good people, I will try to take them away."
"So you're a hero?"
"No, I'm a bad guy."
"Can't tell. You look fine."
"Bad people don't have words carved on their faces, and good-looking people don't necessarily mean they are good people."
"oh."
After saying "oh", she didn't say anything else. She just ate her lollipop and continued looking at Ni Kun.
Ni Kun stared at her for a while, and finally succumbed to her calm gaze and laughed awkwardly:
"So what, where's Altria?"
Xiao Long Nu said, "She's gone to cook. Don't you smell the fragrance?"
Of course Ni Kun smelled it, and knew that Altria had gone to a nearby cubicle, and heard the sound of a knife prying open a can. He asked this question only to ease the embarrassment.
"Cooking is good. I'm a little hungry."
"Don't expect to eat anything delicious. The food you get in this level, whether it's the reward for completing the mission or the food you collect yourself, tastes terrible. It's just that the quantity is large and it can fill your stomach. The best things are only chocolate and candy. Unfortunately, the chocolate has been eaten, and the last candy is also in my mouth. I gave it to you just now, but you didn't want it."
"Is it too late now?"
Snap!
Xiao Long Nu's cheeks twitched, she bit the last bit of the lollipop in her mouth, took off the empty stick and showed it to Ni Kun:
"It's too late, I've already eaten it. But the stick still tastes a little sweet, do you want to lick it?"
“…”Ni Kun was speechless.
At this time, Altori's voice came from the next compartment:
"Long Er, come and help."
"Coming." Xiaolongnu jumped down from the table and went over to help.
"She called you Long'er?"
"I call her Xiaoya and she calls me Long'er, it's very intimate!"
As Xiao Long Nu was speaking, she passed by Ni Kun.
Without the long hem of her windbreaker covering her, looking from behind, Ni Kun could immediately see her slender and soft waistline, as well as the full and perfectly curved hip line below her waist, which was quite a feast for the eyes.
Xiao Longnu suddenly stopped and looked back at Ni Kun:
"I kind of understand why you're a bad guy."
Ni Kun never shied away from talking about his lust.
But facing Xiao Long Nu's calm eyes and indifferent tone, he actually felt a little embarrassed, stroking his chin and laughing dryly:
"Everyone has a desire for beauty. I am not a plant, so how can I not have desires?"
"That's true." Xiao Long Nu actually agreed: "Looking at you, I feel good too."
"So, in the previous levels, didn't you see any men as good-looking as me?"
"No. They were all hideous looking guys." Xiao Longnv shook her head: "I also encountered a man who wanted to bully me, but Altria helped me kill him."
"Which hero is so brave?" Ni Kun was really curious.
Xiao Long Nu said calmly:
"In the first level, I met a Quanzhen Taoist priest named Yin Zhiping. I don't know how he got here, but he wanted to bully me while I was injured and unconscious. Fortunately, Xiaoya showed up in time and helped me kill him before he could do anything.
"Later, in the second level, I met another guy named Matou Shinji. He was self-righteous and annoying. He wanted to use a poisonous insect to plot against Xiaoya and me. Fortunately, Xiaoya was alert enough to uncover his plot and kill him."
"Well done!" Ni Kun praised: "Altolia is really a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering."
"Yes, if it weren't for her, I would have suffered a lot. I have always lived in the ancient tomb and never left the mountain. I never thought that the people outside are so sinister..."
Xiao Longnu sighed calmly, and Altria's urging voice came from the compartment again:
"Long Er, what are you still hesitating about? Don't be so immobile when you see a handsome guy. Come and help me!"
"I'm coming. I can't move my legs when I see a handsome guy. I'm just chatting with him normally."
As she spoke, Xiao Long Nu took another step forward and went over to help.
Ni Kun waited outside for a while, and then Altria came out of the compartment with a large dinner plate in each hand, which was filled with mushy food and large pieces of canned meat with suspicious colors and pungent smells.
Seeing the two plates piled high in her hands, Ni Kun quickly stepped forward, ready to take one, and said with a smile:
"There's so much food, such a full plate... I only need half of it."
Altria dodged his outstretched hand, "These are all mine. Yours are in the back."
Ni Kun withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, took a deep look at the two plates piled with food, and then looked at Xiao Longnu behind him.
Xiao Longnu also held two stainless steel plates, but the food on one of them was only a quarter of what was on Altria's plate, and the other was only half.
"This is yours." Xiao Longnu handed the plate with only half the amount of Dai Mao Wang's to Ni Kun.
"Thank you." Ni Kun took the plate and sat at the table. He looked up at Dai Mao Wang and saw that she had taken off the silver mask on her face, revealing her true face.
Seeing her appearance, Ni Kun couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Her facial features were delicate and beautiful, but the skin on both sides of her cheeks was covered with hideous and terrifying black runes.
Those runes looked like ugly insects, connected head to tail, and occasionally wriggling slightly like living things.
Altria took the spoon and ate a few mouthfuls of the porridge, then looked up at Ni Kun:
“This is the mark of the spell that tainted me.
"Once they rush to my forehead and gather at my brows, I will completely lose myself, become cold-blooded, selfish, and will no longer fight to protect the worlds. I will only make the choice that is most beneficial to my own survival.
"At a time when the extraterritorial demons are rampant and the guardians are changing frequently, betraying the guardians, joining the extraterritorial demons, and becoming Xuan Wuyue's lackey is obviously the only way to guarantee one's survival to the greatest extent."
Ni Kun said: "You can still analyze so calmly now, obviously you have not been completely contaminated and distorted by this curse."
"This is only temporary." Altria said clearly as she quickly devoured the food in front of her with a kingly and elegant posture and at a jaw-dropping speed:
"The power of the curse is greatly suppressed by this space, but you should also know that every time we pass a level, our power will be restored a little bit. And the power of the curse will also be restored a little bit.
"It is entangled with my soul. Even if my spiritual attributes are strengthened, the power of the curse will also be strengthened...
“To be honest, although I envision reaching the final level and finding a way to remove the pollution, in the process, the power of the cursed pollution will also be unlocked simultaneously with the gradual unlocking of my power.
"When we reach the later stages, my strength and the power of the curse should be restored to a very high level. But I won't be able to suppress the curse on my own. By then... it's doubtful whether I can still maintain my self.
"So I have already realized that if I really show signs of completely losing myself, I will use the last bit of clarity to end my life, so as not to betray the Guardians, join the enemy, and point my sword at my former comrades."
