Chapter 32
I looked at the five people in front of me, feeling a bit amused. In the past, I was the one who robbed others, but now the situation has changed. I haven't felt this exciting for a long time. Bang! The Taoist priest who led the group threw a magical power at me, and a system prompt immediately appeared in front of me: You are being attacked by an unknown player!
In "Devil's Flag", being a "robber" is very particular. Because of the ownership issue, the success rate of robbery is generally not high. And if you want to do this "no-cost business" well, it will not work without using the correct methods.
Under normal circumstances, if a player encounters a robbery, if there are many robbers, most of them will immediately go offline. Therefore, the robbers must first launch a surprise attack to put the target in a combat state. In this way, the person being robbed can only choose to escape or resist. No matter which one is chosen, the robbers can proceed to the next step. This move is a necessary process for the "outlaws" to do their work. Generally, it is followed by a sentence like "this mountain is mine" to show the "characteristics" of their profession, indirectly telling the victim that I am not one of those indiscriminate PK killers who only care about money and not life. Of course, the robbed person may also choose to obediently give up things to keep safe, but I have played "Magic Flag" for so long, and I have never met such a cooperative "victim".
"Don't get too excited. We won't go too far. Really, you just need to hand over your space belt." The 40th-level Taoist priest named Gao Shan Liu Shui said kindly. Isn't that too much? A person can only carry some things in the underwear pockets that the system originally presets. All other things are carried by the space belt. Robbing the space belt is the most thorough way of robbery.
"You are so confident, are there only a few of you?" I looked at the robbers in front of me with a smile. Except for Gao Shan Liu Shui, the other four were not at a high level, and their seniority values were all negative. Most of the robbers were famous people, but they would usually find a partner with a deep blue seniority value to store things. Otherwise, if they hit a wall and were attacked by a tough guy, they would lose a lot.
"That's why I'm asking if you're alone." Gao Shan Liu Shui explained patiently, and the four people behind him took the opportunity to slowly form a semi-encirclement. They weren't afraid of my resistance, but they were mainly afraid that I would run away. Everyone knows that thieves have the fastest legs and are born experts in running away.
Before I could reply, a loud shout came from the woods nearby, "Five against one, is that bullying? Come on, the road is uneven and someone is stepping on it, count me as your brother!" The six heads of the robbers and the robbed all looked in the direction where the shouting came from.
The midday sun shone through the woods, casting a layer of golden light on a gentle slope in the forest. A "knight" in armor was sitting upright on his horse, and the loud shout just now was made by him.
After we saw it clearly, we couldn't help rubbing our eyes. What really caught our attention was his unique mount. The well-proportioned and slender body, the strong and sturdy limbs, and the unique black and white stripes, oh my, what a lovely zebra!
Under the gaze of six pairs of "amazing" eyes, the "knight" drew out a crucifix sword in a chic manner, held the golden dragon-patterned shield in his left hand, and shouted mightily, urging his mount to sway left and right, and rush towards us. Looking at his "graceful" heroic figure on the horse, I couldn't help but secretly worry about whether he would break his neck.
I saw this zebra knight, performing the dance of willows in the wind on his horse, rushing straight through the middle of me, Gao Shan Liu Shui and the other five people. With a series of screams of "Ouch, ah!" and "Aiya", he ran all the way without looking back and plunged directly into the woods on the other side. With the sound of branches breaking, the brave knight "sang" all the way, and finally seemed to hit a big tree or something, and there was a loud bang, and the woods became quiet again.
"Is he an idiot?" Gao Shan Liu Shui stared at the direction where the Zebra Knight was rushing in with a stunned look on his face, muttering to himself.
"It doesn't matter whether he is an idiot or not, but you seem to be too unprofessional, don't you?" A cold voice came from behind Gao Shan Liu Shui. He was shocked and did not turn back immediately. Instead, he jumped forward first, then quickly moved and turned around while splitting into two clones. However, when he saw the situation behind him clearly, he couldn't help but feel a little cold on his head.
In front of him were the bodies of his three companions, and a thief with a very "friendly" smile was pulling out a golden dagger from the back of the fourth companion. It turned out that the person they were originally going to rob had turned around behind them without knowing when. Four level 33 or 34 warriors were killed silently from behind. Looking at the four green corpses, Gao Shan Liu Shui knew that he had hit the jackpot again today.
"Haha, one breath turns into three pure ones?" I smiled and put away the Dragon Fang Blade, took out the assassination crossbow with my left hand and shot an arrow at the Taoist on the right.
"Well, how do you know that's the real body?" With a groan of pain, the mountain stream shook its body and quickly took out a bottle of strong antidote and drank it. The poison was no joke.
"It's an identification technique. You can tell at a glance." I shrugged and explained to Gaoshan Liushui who had an incredible look on his face.
Just as I was about to continue my attack, a translucent letter appeared out of nowhere and almost hit me in the face. There were four words on the envelope: Ripple Order.
After catching him, I took a quick look and issued a pursuit order. Target: Gao Shan Liu Shui. Occupation: Taoist priest. After being found, regardless of life or death, 100 gold coins will be given for death. Screenshots will be sent to mailbox 268 of the forum. 500 gold coins will be given for capturing him alive. Coordinates will be sent back according to the original code.
After deleting the letter, I stared at the Taoist priest in front of me in a strange way. This guy is really capable. He was able to persuade the Ripple Lord to issue a pursuit order. Moreover, today is definitely his "lucky day". It is such a coincidence that he happened to rob me.
"Brother, I am very handsome, but I don't have that kind of hobby. Why are you looking at me like that?" Gao Shan Liu Shui felt scared by my look and said with a dry laugh.
"I don't know if you are handsome or not, but there is a beautiful lady who wants to see you. Now I will give you two choices. One is to let me stab you with a hundred or eighty swords!" I said lightly. I casually wrote a letter to the little fox and told her my current coordinates. "The other one is to come with me to meet someone."
"What a bullshit choice. Can I say no? Who am I going to meet? Is she really a beauty?" He frowned and tilted his head at me. The thief in front of him was even more ruthless than him. He couldn't run away, and he couldn't necessarily win by fighting. He had to accept his fate and put away his sword. He was level 40, so it would be better if he could survive. I just didn't know what this unfathomable guy in front of me was going to do.
"Haha, don't even think about running away. If you dare to go offline, I will wait until you delete your account." I threatened very "gently".
"You're crazy." Gao Shan Liu Shui shook his head helplessly, "I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just go shopping with you."
So, we had a big switch, the robber became the hostage, and the one being robbed became the kidnapper. Haha, the world is so wonderful...
"Why hasn't that knight made any movement for such a long time ? Could he have been killed in a collision?" Gao Shan Liu Shui looked curiously towards the "gap" in the forest.
"Just go and have a look and you'll know. But there really is a knight riding a zebra? Haha, I really don't know where he got it from." I waved to Gaoshanliushui, signaling us to go in together. It would be fun to get one for the princess if I had the chance.
We parted the grass and followed the traces of broken branches. Soon, we saw the zebra again, it was eating grass leisurely, but after a circle, the knight was nowhere to be found.
"The horse is here, but where is the man?" Gao Shan Liu Shui looked around curiously. "In the tree over there," a voice answered.
"Oh, thank you." I said thank you casually. But as soon as I said that, my body froze, and I looked at Gao Shan Liu Shui in shock. Is there anyone here? We turned around quickly, huh? No one? Could it be that the four eyes were staring at something else.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful horse? I know I'm pretty, but I won't date a boyfriend with two legs." The two of us almost turned into a pair of stone sculptures. Isn't this too weird? The zebra can actually talk! I sent it an identification spell woodenly.
Name: Encyclopedia. Level: Level 2 9%. Type: Land Speed, cannot evolve. Special Ability: Advanced Wisdom. Loyalty: 100. Owner: Whisper in the Wind.
"It's called Encyclopedia! How does this strange horse look like a book?" Gao Shan Liu Shui grinned with amusement after hearing the information.
Bang! The retribution came quickly. A crescent-shaped hoof print was immediately printed on Gaoshanliushui's butt. It danced and screamed and flew into the bushes on the other side.
"Does my appearance look weird?" A standard "horse face" appeared in front of me and asked a question "gently".
"No, no, that's because he has no taste. It's not strange at all for a young and beautiful woman like you." The "honest" little thief swallowed his saliva secretly and said something that didn't mean what he said. This is the authentic "flattery".
"Oh, although you are telling the truth, don't be so direct. I will be shy." The zebra pretended to be "shy" and turned around and ran away. Damn! Is this still an NPC? The stunned thief was almost petrified again.
"You damn dead horse! How dare you kick me! If I can't kill you, I'll kill myself!" The Taoist priest, with tree branches hanging all over his body, came out of the bushes angrily, swinging the Qingshuang sword in his hand around. Gao Shan Liu Shui was caught off guard and fell really badly, with a big bruise on his head.
"Why bother with a pet? Just go find its owner and be done with it." I said sarcastically. This horse is so interesting.
"Pet! Yes! That strange horse is a pet! Well! The monk may escape but the temple cannot. I'm going to settle the score with the owner of that bird!" The Taoist was so angry that he fainted. He strode in the direction that the zebra had just "pointed".
I ran a few steps with Gao Shan Liu Shui, and a strange "spectacle" appeared in front of me. I saw the owner of the zebra, Mr. Whispering in the Wind, "hanging" on a tree trunk that was as thick as five people hugging, with his hands and feet pressed against the smooth vertical trunk, as if it was flat ground, swaying and humming. I thought to myself, what is he doing? A stunt show?
I walked closer and took a look out of curiosity. Haha, it turned out that the whisper in the wind was trying to pull out a knife that was embedded in the tree trunk. The knife was almost two-thirds inserted into the trunk. He held the handle of the knife with both hands, pushed the trunk hard with both feet, and was trying hard to pull it out with his butt shaking.
"Hahaha, man, what are you doing? You're so old and still climbing trees, are you trying to regain your youth?" Gao Shan Liu Shui couldn't help but laugh after seeing it clearly. How could this knight be so funny? He lost all his temper when he saw this scene.
I don't know if the guy on the tree was stimulated by the sound of the mountain stream, his face turned red, he didn't say anything, but hummed even more vigorously.
"Brother, do you need help?" I saw that he was really having a hard time, so I couldn't help but show some kindness to him.
Just as he finished speaking, the tree trunk, as if playing a joke on the whispers in the wind, suddenly pulled out the knife embedded in it with a swish. He used too much force with his feet, and with a long "Ouch" sound, he flew out sideways like a cannonball.
"Oh my God, is he still alive?" I ran towards the landing point quickly. This guy broke three trees in a row.
"It looks like he's OK, at least he can stand up." Gao Shan Liu Shui was close, and after running a few steps he saw the "cannonball man" standing up shakily. He was really strong.
"He's fine, but you are!" A cold and sweet voice took over Gao Shan Liu Shui's words.
