Chapter 36
I frowned and looked at the emblems on the chests of those people. I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart. How could it be these "babies"? It seems that I stepped on a hornet's nest today. The little fox is in big trouble. This group of sticky candies in front of me is not just difficult to deal with.
The Flowing Cloud Knights, a super knight group with nearly 100,000 members, are not famous for their large number of members, but for their insidiousness and difficulty. Basically, the knights of this group rarely fight one-on-one. Fighting has always been about "teamwork", which means rushing in together to fight. However, if they encounter a ruthless person who can't even be defeated by a group fight, these darlings will run away like "flowing clouds and running water" and disappear in the blink of an eye. The mantra of their unscrupulous leader is: I only want the result, not the process, and only those who laugh last have the right to speak. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. If the leader is like this, the people below will follow suit and be very "practical" in doing things.
The people we met today were Liuyun's leveling team. Except for the three "nanny" warriors who were level 40, the others were basically no more than 30. The warrior who was attacked by the little fox's arrow, lying on the ground, took a breath of medicine and a strong antidote, and didn't say much. He got up and drew his sword to kill. The other people in Liuyun Group were surprised and laughed. Four "robbers" wanted to rob 33 people? Aren't they afraid of being overwhelmed? This top-notch beauty really has a "personality". Since the leader has gone up, the subordinates can't be idle, right? With a shout, a large group of "red goods" rushed towards the "robbers" in a hurry.
"I really admire the generosity of the beautiful Shui in doing business. Hehe, it's almost like one robs eight people. It's exciting." The "Green Forest Taoist" pretended to sigh and used his Qi to protect his body. With a shake of his feet, he split into three and went forward.
"He's a professional. You've only been in the industry for a month, so of course you can't compare to him." Miss Hydrangea smiled sweetly and rolled her eyes at the old Taoist priest. She raised the guardian tower shield, easily blocked a wind blade for him, and then slowly assumed a fighting stance.
"You hit it like a hornet's nest, Lord." I cast a fierce poison spell and walked forward quickly, whispering to the beautiful fruit that passed by. This fox always advocates killing without getting a red name, and usually "seduce" others to make the first move. This time, because I nailed the other person first, the warrior had a minute of legal counterattack time, so I had to dodge backwards first.
"Life is only interesting when there are surprises." The pretty fruit smiled cunningly, stepped aside and shot arrows at the mages who hit her.
"What a surprise! You'll know it's not fun when the hornet swarm comes." I pouted and said to her. I've been hit a few times, but it doesn't hurt. But the guys who hit me are lucky. Not only did they all stay green, but I also "patronized" them. My behavior is actually very humane. I didn't use knives or guns. That would be painful. So, it's not too much for me to just "borrow" a few things from them, right?
Within two minutes of contact, nine of the brothers of Liuyun Group fell, including two level 40 "nannies". Everyone in Liuyun Group realized something was wrong. It turned out that the four "robbers" in front of them were all over level 40? Especially the two thieves, not only did they nail people, but they also liked to fly around in the crowd like butterflies. Those who were touched would always have something missing. No one is a fool. Since the strength of the "robbers" is "genuine", adhering to the group training of a hero not to suffer a loss in front of him, the remaining people immediately scattered, running if they can, and going offline if they can't run away. In an instant, they "vanished into smoke", which is well-deserved.
"I'm afraid the matter is not over yet. The people of Liuyun have always been vindictive. Should we get out of here?" As I spoke, I cleaned up the borrowed things and threw away the useless garbage. There was nothing valuable in the harvest this time, mainly jars and cans of various medicines.
"Are they from the Flowing Cloud Knights?" Hydrangea couldn't help but frown when she heard that. It's not that she was afraid that she couldn't beat them, the key point is that those people were as annoying as chewing gum, once they stuck to her, she couldn't get rid of them.
"What are you afraid of? There were no thieves present just now, so they couldn't recognize us." Gao Shan Liu Shui ignored her worries.
"Then they might be waiting at the entrance of the Crystal Secret Realm. Should we use the City Portal Scroll to trick them?" I came up with a good idea. As long as we return to the teleportation point in Harbor City, they won't be able to find us again.
"Let's not talk about how to get there first. Don't you think there are two people missing here?" Pretty Fruit looked around for a long time and turned back to say.
"Yeah, where are Whisper in the Wind and Ye Liuli?" I said that when it was so lively just now, I always felt like something was missing, and it turned out that two living people were missing.
"A man and a woman disappeared together? Could they have eloped?" This experienced person's association is really "rich".
"What nonsense are you talking about? Those two people must have gotten lost. Let's look for them first." Hydrangea couldn't help but poke Gaoshanliushui.
"It's really strange. Their secret channel is open, but why is there no response?" Piaoliangshuiguo said after trying the intercom.
"Well, it looks like we have no choice but to go back the way we came and look for it." After I packed up, I turned around and floated back the way I came.
The four of them swam along the path they came from the seabed, searching as they turned around the reef area. They didn't find the people in the wind, but ran into the "victims" just now. "It's them!" A "sad and angry" warrior gritted his teeth and shouted from a distance. This guy has a sharp eye and saw us from such a distance. Tsk tsk, the people from Liuyun came really quickly. Although there are only more than 20 people, the "quality" of this batch is obviously higher than the "baby team" just now. At least the level 50 mage brother in the middle is not a good person.
"The debts from the twelfth lunar month are paid off quickly. Fruit, the deputy captain has already shown up, and I estimate that half of those people's levels are above 45." I quickly found a piece of cloth to cover my face before Liuyun's people came near. It was really a weird day today, I only ran into acquaintances.
"How do you know what they are doing when you are so far away?" Pretty Fruit squinted her eyes and looked at the opposite side for a long time. When she turned around, she saw that I had wrapped my head tightly. "Mad man, is it fun to wrap your head like a dumpling?"
"Well, Brother Yan, you don't want to do another 'deal', do you?" Gao Shan Liu Shui looked at me with a "shocked" expression.
"What kind of business is this? Look at those handsome guys and beautiful girls over there, a level 50 mage, a level 49 warrior, a level 49 Taoist priest, and a level 47 knight. They make my legs go weak just by looking at them." I smiled wryly as I looked at the crowd that was getting closer and closer. The four faces looked very familiar to me.
"You know each other? No wonder you know those people's details from such a distance." The little fox has always been very smart and he understood it after thinking about it.
"Of course I know him, that's why I know how powerful he is. The vice-captain of the Flowing Cloud Knights is called Painkillers, and he's a level 50 mage. But the key is that we can't let this boss find out that it was me, Yan, who robbed his younger brother." My smile became even more bitter. This world is really too small. I beat up a few small fish and ended up attracting a great white shark.
"Well, to take care of you, let's make a tactical retreat first." Pretty Fruit said as if she was giving me a lot of face. In fact, she also knew that the opponent was too strong now, and we couldn't fight them head-on.
"But what about Whisper in the Wind and Night Glaze?" Xiuqiu was a little embarrassed. It seemed a bit unreasonable to leave a friend who she had just met alone in the "sea".
"That's right. Let's split up. You and Gaoshan go find Fengzhong and the others, and I and Guozijigao will tie them up." I said quickly. If we can't beat the two thieves, can we still run away? Just as we were ready, the people from the Liuyun Knights had already rushed over.
The leading mage looked at the mountain stream and the hydrangea, which had already drifted a distance away, and waved his left hand. Five people in the team immediately surrounded the two thieves with him, while the others quickly turned around and chased after the pair that had drifted away. The two Taoists, two warriors and a knight who were all high-level melee fighters surrounded us, and the little fox and I were entangled.
The wizard looked at me and the pretty fruit in confusion for a while, raised his staff, and whispered four words: "Kill them."
Clang! Two Taoists and a knight attacked at the same time, focusing on me. Seven weapons slashed up and down, and the coordination was very tacit. If I wasn't agile enough, I would have been killed in seconds. I took advantage of the gap and fell down, avoiding all the weapons. I supported myself with one hand and kicked sideways with my legs. I kicked out the two Taoist clones first, and then pushed my body forward to break out of the range of the joint attack. The people behind me stepped on the bomb trap I pressed on the ground as soon as they chased me. Boom! The bomb with added ingredients exploded and they were all poisoned. However, masters are masters. They only have these few seconds to grab. These guys didn't rush to detoxify. They paused for a moment and continued to kill. Damn it, they all want to kill me.
Hehe, since I rushed out, how could I let them surround me again? With a quick Z-shaped movement and a few consecutive side flips, I shook off these boot-dropping ghosts and plunged into the battle circle of Pretty Fruit. The young lady had been beaten up by two warriors and the big brother who led the team. I came up without saying a word, hit the warrior with his back to me with an ice storm bomb, and took advantage of the moment when he was frozen, and Pretty Fruit and I attacked cleanly and neatly to kill another warrior. After succeeding, the two thieves immediately started to run away. The painkiller didn't cast magic just now because he was afraid of accidental injuries. Now he can only stare blankly when he reacts. The thieves in "Magic Flag" are the best at running.
Pretty Fruit and I hadn't run a few steps when we saw those people chasing the mountain stream running back with their target. What was going on? The two of us and the five guys behind us were all a little puzzled. When they got closer, we realized what was going on. There were a lot of "shark fins" behind this group of people.
Shadow Shark, level 43 monster, active offensive, weak defense, strong attack, characteristic is invisibility, usually players can only see a dorsal fin floating around, until it attacks the target, will show the whole body. This thing is not very powerful, I can almost deal with five of them by myself, but something is wrong today.
"Damn it! It's a group of shadow sharks!" Mr. Painkillers was very surprised. There are no boss-level monsters in the Crystal Secret Realm. The highest is only level 50, but this kind of monster cluster will appear randomly on the third floor. Although shadow sharks are usually inconspicuous, when they appear in groups, their attack power is quite terrifying. Now, we are lucky enough to encounter this wonderful scene of "shark fins" flying all over the sky.
In just a moment, the "escaping" crowd had already come over, and Feng Zhong and Ye Liuli, who were said to have "eloped", were actually among them.
"Brother Yan, beautiful sister , let's run quickly, those big fish are very fierce." The beautiful lady Ye called me and the little fox very kindly while running.
"Brother Yan! Is your condition serious? I was wondering why he looked so familiar. Damn it, it turns out to be you!" What you fear will come true. The wizard's ears are as big as a rabbit's.
"No, my name is not Yanzheng, my name is Yankuai, don't get me wrong." When I heard that, I hurriedly joined the "escape" army.
"Damn it! Still pretending! Remember this, the monk may run away but the temple cannot!" Mr. Painkillers couldn't run fast and couldn't catch up with me. He turned around to look at the "shark fins" floating everywhere, and his elder brother simply accepted his fate and used the scroll to return to the city.
There was a commotion, and the group of sharks and a group of "baits" were running around in a lively manner, and they had already separated while chasing and escaping.
Pretty Fruit and I didn't run far. We were always swimming not far from the sharks. Because we found a white dorsal fin in the shadow sharks. It was a level 45 Hidden Shark King. This shark usually appeared randomly, and only two appeared in a month. The reason why it was so rare was that it could drop a very special item - the Marquis Order. Although there are many ways to obtain this noble certificate, the simplest and most direct one is to catch the Hidden Shark King. Unfortunately, this bird shark is very difficult to encounter.
I don't know whether our luck today was good or bad. We were lucky enough to encounter a king shark. However, it was actually mixed in with the group of shadow sharks. This was a big joke. We could only look at it but not touch it.
"The problem now is how to lure that stupid fish over here. It would be great if there was an elf archer." I said helplessly to Pretty Fruit. The archer's attack range is the longest among all professions. Thieves can also use crossbows, but the distance is just a section shorter than that of archers.
"Haha, who said there are no archers?" The little fox smiled mysteriously and stretched out his right hand: "Night elves, summon."
Light green smoke rose, and a stunning elf with wings and a bow and arrow appeared before my eyes. Out of curiosity, I cast an identification spell.
Name: Night Elf. Level: Level 3 3%. Type: Celestial Humanistic Officer. Special Skill: Possession Reincarnation. Loyalty: 100. Master: Pretty Fruit.
"You want to use this pet." I looked at the beautiful fruit with sudden realization. "But, can it attract monsters?" I seem to have only seen a certain zebra with this talent, and other pets can only help with attack and defense at most.
"Who said I need to use it that way?" The little fox said, closing her eyes and gently leaning into the arms of the night elf. With a faint green light flashing, she and the pet became one! A beautiful elf archer magically appeared in front of me.
"Is this how you sneaked into the elf team last time?" It's really strange. This pet seems a bit similar to my ghost.
"Yes, I can now use all the equipment of the elven archers, but I don't know their skills." The little fox's voice changed, and it was completely unrecognizable that she was a human girl. As she spoke, she took out an honorary archery bow.
The next thing was easy. I kept leading away some of the troublesome shadow sharks, and Pretty Fruit used the archery bow to "seduce" the precious shark out. When we reached a place with few monsters, the two thieves drew their bows and swords at the same time. After a few swipes, a golden title fell out with a bang.
Before I could pick the beautiful fruit, a dark shadow ran over and quickly grabbed the Marquis Order on the sand with both hands. I was relatively close, but I didn't have time to bend down, so I had to tiptoe and kick the golden token to the side, preparing to fight at the same time. Damn it, after all this time, there are still people around here who are thinking about us.
The shadow paused, barely taking the fox's angry blow, and then dodged back. At this moment, I could see clearly that this was a woman wrapped in black clothes. But, this outfit looks familiar? I cast an identification spell, hey, it's not unfamiliar - Otsuki Kirara, one of the Japanese sushi that the fox followed last time.
"Hand over the token and you can live." Otsuki Kirara said coldly. This ghost woman spoke Chinese quite well.
"What a big tone you have! A little thief of level 34 dares to speak like that. Do you Japanese have your eyes on the top of your heads?" Pretty Fruit released the possession and drew out the Dragon Fang Blade, saying sarcastically.
Otsuki Qiluo didn't respond, she just tiptoed and slid over. I was too lazy to pay attention to her, the little fox was more than enough to kill her alone, I turned around and walked to the side, picking up the marquis order from the ground.
Bang! Snap! Snap! There was a series of loud noises in my ears, followed by the muffled hum of the beautiful fruit.
I spun quickly and caught the little fox's body that was knocked flying. I looked in horror at the five foot-long wounds on her body that were still gushing blood. The result of the fight between the two was far beyond my expectation. She, a level 48 thief, was almost killed instantly by the level 34 Japanese woman.
"What the hell is going on!" I stared at Otsuki Kirara in amazement. She was holding a black samurai sword with a purple glow in her hand. The little fox was beaten so badly, probably because of this strange weapon, a weapon I had never seen before.
"I didn't expect there really is such a thing." Pretty Fruit used several bottles of high-level wound medicine before she could barely recover. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth weakly and said slowly: "Kikugakure Ichimonji·Shiden Tachi!"
