Chapter 33
Gao Shan Liu Shui stared at the beauty in front of him with a very rich expression on his face. He never thought that he would meet this person here.
"Is she the one you asked me to meet?" Gao Shan Liu Shui sighed and turned to me and asked. I shrugged without comment. This girl named Xiu Qiu was pretty, but I couldn't figure out whether she had anything to do with the Ripple Secret Order, so I couldn't give him an answer.
"Then, brother, wait until I delete my account." Gao Shan Liu Shui grinned at me bitterly, and then disappeared in a flash. Haha, he went offline very straightforwardly. Is this Miss Xiuqiu in front of me so scary? How could she scare a "robber" like this?
"It's okay, I knew you would do this." Hydrangea slowly led a horse over, forgetting to mention that she was a knight. The beauty took a lot of parts off the horse and set up a tent at the place where Gaoshan Liushui was unloaded, talking to herself.
Camping tents are not just a simple rest and recovery equipment. Old players know that they are actually a good thing for catching people, but they are only suitable for this situation. Because according to the system regulations, outsiders who enter the tent without the owner's consent will be regarded as illegal attacks by the system. Therefore, as long as Hydrangea is still online, Gaoshan Liushui will be stuck in her camping tent as soon as he comes up, so that it will not be so easy for him to run away when he is in PK state. But this thing is too expensive. A standard tent for outdoor rest costs as much as 100,000 gold coins, which is not affordable for everyone. It seems that Hydrangea has a deep affection for Gaoshan Liushui.
"Who among you is called crazy? My friend told me to find the person who caught Gao Shan." After Hydrangea finished setting up the tent, she looked up and asked me and whispered in the wind.
"No one called you crazy. If it was Pretty Fruit who asked you to come, then it was to find me." I frowned. I originally thought that Pretty Fruit was looking for Gao Shan Liu Shui. I didn't expect that this Hydrangea was the one who was looking for Gao Shan Liu Shui. But this beauty in front of me really can't talk. She wanted to find Crazy when she met. Is there anyone who calls people like that? But when I think about it carefully, it's true. Even the "gentle and beautiful" Lord doesn't know my name at all, let alone her.
"Reward: five hundred gold coins. Your mission is accomplished." Hydrangea casually threw a purse to me, and a transaction application bar popped up.
"How did you get here so quickly?" I agreed to the transaction and took the money bag and asked casually.
"Directional movement scroll." Miss Hydrangea answered absentmindedly. I suddenly realized that this was the case. It seemed that this person was also rich. That kind of scroll was ten gold coins each. I didn't ask any more questions. I greeted the "zebra knight" who was still confused and turned away. It's best not to talk nonsense if it doesn't concern you. Judging from their posture, the communication between the two people will definitely be heated. As a fish in the pond, even if I really want to watch the fun, it's better to stay away from the city gate that is about to catch fire.
"What's going on with you?" The confused "Zebra Knight" asked curiously as he walked.
"A beautiful woman offers 500 gold coins to capture someone. What do you think it could be?" The cunning thief smiled ambiguously.
"I see." The rough questioner suddenly seemed to understand something. So what? Did I say something? Hehehehe!
After a brief introduction, I quickly became familiar with Whisper in the Wind and volunteered to help him pack up.
During this time, I accidentally saw the shield he had just picked up. It was a golden dragon-patterned shield, so it should be a warrior's armor, right? Out of curiosity, I raised my hand and shot an identification spell on him. Sure enough, this Whisper in the Wind was actually a level 37 warrior. Haha, it turned out to be a warrior riding a zebra. I thought he was a knight, no wonder his riding skills were so unique. But there was nothing strange about it. There were thieves riding elephants, so a warrior riding a zebra was nothing special.
"Your pet is so interesting and so human. Is it really just an NPC?" I asked after Whisper in the Wind had finished cleaning up.
"In fact, I still haven't figured this out. That guy is sometimes extremely smart, and sometimes extremely stupid. But the name 'encyclopedia' is not in vain, it really knows a lot of things. Its special skill, advanced wisdom, seems to have a similar function to your identification." Whisper in the Wind had already picked up all the items that were scattered when it hit the tree just now and put them into the space belt. "Where else are you going?"
"Let's go to the nearest teleportation station. I need supplies." I looked at Miss Hydrangea who was "waiting for people in the tent" over there and answered simply.
"I just want to go back too, let's go together." Whisper in the Wind also turned his head to look at me, then said to me with a smile: "Let's not get involved in the affairs of the young couple." Well, this is what he thought, I didn't say anything...
"What are you doing? Just ignore it." A horse's face curiously poked out from behind us. I was so scared that I almost turned around and stabbed it with a sword. How come this strange horse didn't even make any noise when walking?
"Oh, you won't understand even if I tell you. The adults are talking, so just stay away." The whisper in the wind pushed the curious horse's head.
"How do you know if I understand if you don't tell me? Tell me, tell me." The zebra began to "affectionately" nudge its owner with its head, not paying attention to whether it was using the right strength. As a result, this seemingly "coquettish" little action easily sent the whisper in the wind into the ditch on the side of the road.
"Huh? Where's the person?" The zebra, who hadn't realized what he had done, was surprised to find that the "target" had disappeared after he had pushed into nothing.
"Pet recall!" A hand covered in dirt emerged from the "underground" along with the sound of gnashing teeth. The zebra, who was still looking around, quickly disappeared.
"Well, I have to say, brother, it's really a miracle that you can still live to this day." I pulled the dusty soldier out of the ditch and comforted him with a face full of "sympathy".
"This dead horse is going to kill me sooner or later." The Whisper in the Wind groaned while patting the dirt.
"Haha, let's go. It's not easy to have a pet. Stop complaining." I patted his shoulder, smiled, and set off for the teleportation station.
To get to the nearest teleport station, you have to go through a section of wasteland. This red and yellow land is said to be cursed, with no grass growing on it. Various undead and dark monsters roam it year after year. I'm not really afraid of the monsters in the wasteland. Except for a few level 51 undead bull monsters, all of them are level 40 or so, which poses no threat to me.
As soon as we entered the wasteland, Whisper in the Wind insisted on fighting monsters. I thought, since we were not far from our destination, we might as well practice. So, we each summoned our pets and started to fight and walk slowly. When the encyclopedia came out, it was still a bit awkward, thinking that its owner's rude summoning hurt its fragile heart, and it refused to work. In the end, Whisper in the Wind made a wish to compensate it with two baskets of carrots. It makes people wonder whether the original form of this zebra is a rabbit.
Level 42 zombies, level 39 ghosts, level 45 monster soldiers, and level 47 ghost spiders are all a piece of cake for me, who is over level 60. Except for ghost spiders, even monsters that can hit me are rare. I used the night ghost this time. There are no magic monsters here, so it is just right to use it.
Using the excuse of more experience points, Whisper in the Wind didn't team up with me. When we fight monsters, I beat them first, and then he and Night Ghost come together, so his experience points increase a lot. As for his pet, I found that it is definitely a new "treasure". As long as it goes out for a stroll and comes back, there will be a "dazzling array" of things behind its horse's butt. It is really good at attracting monsters. But there is still one thing I don't understand. I haven't seen it actively attack monsters, so how did its experience points increase?
I took the time to ask about the whispers in the wind, and was told that this zebra gained experience by "chattering". What does that mean? After careful observation, I finally understood the "superiority" of this zebra. After a long time of making a fuss, as long as it kept bluffing with its horse mouth while running, the monsters behind it would follow it and run wildly, ignoring anyone's attacks. Is this okay? Is there anyone who can gain experience this way?
Seeing an opportunity, I simply stayed where I was and let the encyclopedia circle around us. Haha, although the zebra's "chattering skill" was limited in time, it was enough for me to use sneak attacks to reduce the health of most monsters to less than one third.
I think Whisper in the Wind has known about this function of Zebra for a long time, but may not dare to use it indiscriminately because the duration is too short. If you are not careful, you will be beaten by the monsters that have woken up.
We had already crossed half of the wasteland by fighting and walking. While waiting for the pet to lure the monster, I saw a glittering object at the entrance of a valley from a distance. What was it? The two bored people ran over to take a look, and wow, it was a golden crucifix. Whisper in the Wind was about to pick it up excitedly, but I grabbed him and pointed to the valley.
The valley in front of us is not big, but there are things everywhere, white, blue, gold, with attributes and without attributes, there are almost dozens of various jewelry, equipment and weapons. What's going on? If we get one or two, we may get a bargain, but if we get so many, it's a problem.
We asked Night Ghost to go in first and walk around, but there was no reaction. Is it safe? We also began to carefully follow him in and walked around. There was no human figure, not even a single strange figure. We tried to pick up some things. Well, it was also safe. There were no traps or anything. However, the safer it was, the weirder it felt.
I looked up at the valley, and there was only one entrance and exit. I looked at the things on the ground, and I was sure that they were all dropped by players. Why did so many people die here and drop so many things? And no one picked them up? Suddenly, Whisper in the Wind and I paused at the same time, looked at each other, and both of us thought of a possible reason.
"I can't be so unlucky, right? It's only been a short time since I last saw Canglong." I ran towards the valley entrance, God bless me.
"Then tell me, what other reason could there be for so many people to drop things all over the floor here?" Whisper in the Wind was running pretty fast.
"Hey, you guys are here, look, I met a cool guy." As soon as we stepped out of the valley, we saw a super cute zebra galloping towards us, and behind it, a huge red figure was chasing it.
