Volume 4 Chapter 11: Journey into the Wilderness (2)
In the early morning, I packed up my things in the dim light of dawn and headed along the stream into the depths of the wilderness.
From time to time, some monsters came to drink water along the stream, but their number was not too large. Although the monsters here were indeed three times more powerful than those in ordinary places, they could not gain any advantage over me, whose level, equipment, and abilities were among the best in fantasy. They were easily killed one by one.
What makes me depressed is that until noon, I killed a lot of strange monsters of all kinds, but I didn't encounter any of the legendary barbarians. This is a little different from the wilderness in the internal test. In this case, where can I find clues about the high priest?
Worse yet, I was lost!
This is not my fault. I was not familiar with the map of the Wilderness (in fact, I knew almost nothing about it. Although I went to many places during the internal test, the map of Fantasy is too large. My knowledge of the Wilderness only came from articles posted by players on the forum). Therefore, I decided to follow the stream into the mountains. The stream was an excellent guide. However, two hours ago, the stream disappeared - it was originally a small ditch where mountain springs converged. My progress has surpassed its source.
After leaving the stream, I climbed over two or three hills, passed through a small forest, and fought hard with monsters such as vampire vines and ghost-faced spiders in a natural maze of bushes and vines. I completely lost my sense of direction!
So, now I can't even go back to the city, let alone find the high priest, unless I rush into the monster pile and commit suicide. But I don't want to use this method until the last minute.
So, after two days in a place where the air was so humid that it could grow green mold on my skin, I had pretty much turned into a barbarian myself.
So, dear readers, you can understand how excited I was and even brought tears to my eyes when I suddenly heard the sound of human voices not far away. I seriously declare that I was not so excited just because I judged that the person coming was absolutely a stunning beauty from the clear and pleasant voice like a nightingale singing in the valley.
I quickly urged the unicorn on, and with the clatter of its hooves, it rushed as fast as it could towards the place where the voice came from.
Then, I saw two beauties of the same level as Wanxing and Xiaoyi.
If Xiao Yi is proud and Wan Xing is beautiful, then these two are pure. With their flowing long hair, crystal white skin, beautiful face, and an elegant temperament, they are like two lilies blooming in the wilderness!
What’s even more rare is that these two beauties have exactly the same figure, appearance and temperament, and it is obvious that they are a pair of twin sisters.
I stopped my mount, dismounted, and walked towards the two people. In my imagination, they should be slightly surprised to see a knight like me suddenly appear in the wilderness, and then I went up to greet them politely and introduce myself. I was confident that with my fame, they would have heard of me, the leader of the Thunder Alliance, and I had a good reputation, so it should be easy to establish a preliminary friendship with them - I reiterate that I have no intentions towards them, I just hope to get some clues about the barbarians and the way back to the city.
What happened next taught me what self-righteousness means.
"Who is it?"
Before I could open my mouth, one of the two women shouted, raised the sword in her hand and pointed it at me. Her beautiful eyes were wide open and filled with anger!
It's strange. They don't know each other and have no grudges against each other, so why is the other party acting so tense?
I felt a little strange, but didn't think too much about it, so I explained, "You two ladies are so polite! My name is Blood Sky, and I got lost here and didn't know the direction. Fortunately, I met you two. If you can tell me how to return to the city, I will be very grateful!"
"Bloody sky? Are you the leader of the Thunder Alliance?" the girl holding the sword asked in surprise.
"It's me!" Ha, it seems that the Thunder Alliance is well-known enough. Seeing the nervous look on the girl's face, I felt quite proud.
"Humph, I never thought that the best master in the world would want to take advantage of my sister! Let me tell you, even if you kill us, we will never surrender!"
Oh my! What the hell! Fortunately, we are in the wilderness, with no one around. If someone else heard this, who knows what they would think of it, and my reputation would be completely ruined!
"Hey, miss, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. It's better for us to just meet in secret. When did I ever have any idea of hitting on your sister?" I said anxiously.
"Stop the sweet talk. If you weren't following us on purpose, how could you have found this place? Only a big gang like your Thunder Alliance can mobilize enough manpower to track down my sisters in this wild place, right?"
Kuang Han, the more he talked, the more it seemed to be true, but this was really a huge misunderstanding! But I admit that in such a large area of the wilderness, the chance of two groups of people accidentally meeting each other is really too small, no wonder the girl was suspicious.
I was pondering over how to use words to clear up their misunderstanding. It was so hard to meet these two people, and all my wild hopes were pinned on them . I couldn't just turn around and leave just because we didn't get along.
"Blood Alliance Leader, I tell you the truth. The 'Embroidered Golden Robe' has not been woven yet. Even if we are willing to give it to you, we cannot give it to you." The other of the two women spoke. Her tone was much calmer than that of her sister, but her words still accused me of having ulterior motives.
I was thoughtful: "Golden Threaded Clothes... I remember now, you are the 'Er Qiao', and you are the divine knitting girl, 'the plain hands painting brocade, the mountains and rivers connected by a thread', Da Qiao!"
"Hey, did you just recognize my sister? You're pretending to be quite similar. Are you going to say 'I've heard a lot about you, nice to meet you' next?"
Damn, I really wanted to say these two sentences, but this little girl's words blocked my words. I'm so depressed!
But after knowing the identities of these two women, I finally understood what was going on.
Speaking of these two Qiaos, in Fantasy, at least in the Cang Continent, they are really famous. Think about it, girls who dare to name themselves "Da Qiao" and "Xiao Qiao" in the game must have a certain degree of confidence in their appearance (of course, those who are not self-aware are not considered). Today, I saw that they are indeed worthy of their names, especially since they are a pair of twin sisters, which is even more rare. However, this is not the main reason for their fame. Their fame mainly comes from the elder sister Da Qiao, who had a special adventure in the game and won the title of the hidden profession "Weaver Girl"!
There are hidden professions in Fantasy, but you can only get them if you are lucky enough to win the lottery and come across a hidden mission and have enough ability to complete the generally super difficult mission. Moreover, hidden professions are usually unique, so few people have such an opportunity. Da Qiao is currently the only person in the game who has publicly revealed her hidden profession. It is hard to say whether there are other players with hidden professions. For this reason alone, she cannot help but become famous.
In Fantasy, there is the profession of tailor (exclusive to female players), but it is a life profession, just like the unremarkable foundry makers and appraisers. Players have no combat effectiveness. The Weaver Girl is different. While possessing weaving skills, she also has combat effectiveness that is no less than that of players of combat professions. This is also the value of hidden professions. Moreover, in terms of textile items, the Weaver Girl is better than ordinary tailors. For embroidery of the same level, the Weaver Girl's products must be fine products, and there must be bonuses in terms of attributes. In addition, it is said that Da Qiao is a fashion designer in reality, so the fabrics she embroiders are all exquisite and gorgeous. Therefore, many players in Fantasy are eager to own a piece of equipment made by the Weaver Girl.
If it were just these, it wouldn't be a big deal, but recently there have been rumors that the Qiao sisters accidentally obtained a design drawing, which depicts the Holy Spirit equipment "Golden Threaded Robe". As long as they gather all the materials and embroider it according to the drawing, they can make the first Holy Spirit equipment made by a player in the Fantasy!
You know, as the holy spirit equipment second only to the artifact, there are only more than thirty pieces in the entire Fantasy so far. Compared with the nearly 400 million player groups, it is so precious and rare. Its transaction price has already exceeded one million gold coins, but it is still out of stock!
As a piece of Holy Spirit equipment, and made by the Weaver Girl, the Golden Threaded Robe must have some breakthroughs in attributes to reach a level close to that of a divine weapon. It is conceivable how many players hope to obtain this treasure!
Even more interesting is that it is said that the Golden Threaded Clothes is a male-only equipment, which means that when Da Qiao weaves it, she cannot use it herself or give it to her sister, but can only sell it or give it to others! What's more, a rumor came from nowhere that the Golden Threaded Clothes is a masterpiece of the Weaver Girl, which is of great commemorative significance. Da Qiao does not intend to auction it, but to give it to her lover. At present, Da Qiao has no boyfriend. In other words, whoever can win Da Qiao's heart will get the Golden Threaded Clothes (Another note, it is rumored that the two sisters were born with the same mother and are connected in spirit. They plan to share a boyfriend, and the two women will serve one husband)!
My goodness, getting both money and love, who wouldn't want such a good thing? Therefore, since the rumor spread, the two sisters have been harassed, threatened, defrauded, and sent too many love letters and text messages to delete. The line of people seeking love can be lined up outside the city gate! This wonderful thing has caused a sensation in the entire fantasy world and has become a romantic topic for players. Even I, a leveling enthusiast who only cares about killing monsters, have heard a lot from my brothers in the alliance and know a lot about it. However, my attitude is to laugh it off. Other things are fine, but the "golden brocade dress will be used as a token of love" is obviously a rumor. Even if the two sisters really have such an idea, it is a private matter between girls. How can they say it out loud and let everyone know about it?
Now that I know the whole story, it is understandable that the two Qiaos had a bad attitude towards me. They must have thought that I was a lecher who came to pursue them and cheat them of their money and sex!
So I laughed and said, "You two, I came to the wilderness to do something. I came here unintentionally and met you two by chance. It was really accidental. I was not following you. As for the golden embroidered clothes, I have no interest in them. If I say I have any intention of taking advantage of you, that would be even more ridiculous."
"Hmph, you talk nicely, but who knows what evil intentions you have? Is it such a coincidence that we meet by chance? The golden brocade dress is so precious, and you said you have no interest in it. This sentence alone is a lie. Do you think I'm so easy to fool?" Xiao Qiao still glared at me, and her mouth was full of sarcasm and ridicule.
I was also angry when I heard that. I have always been kind to you. Even if you don't believe me, you shouldn't say bad things to me. It's too rude. As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. I sneered and said, "The golden brocade robe is indeed a rare treasure, but it is not worth a sneer in my eyes. I have three divine weapons in my hand. Do you think I would covet your holy spirit equipment?"
The two girls were stunned, and Xiao Qiao immediately shouted again: "You said you were not lying! Everyone knows that the cornucopia was a reward from the system, but where did the other two artifacts come from? They are not listed on the equipment rankings. You should have thought about it before you lied, right?"
I didn't say much, I took out the tiger soul and set the attribute panel to display, "Look at this!"
The two Qiao sisters exclaimed at the same time, obviously frightened by the properties of Tiger Soul. I took out another crystal column and said, "This is also a divine weapon, but it has not been identified yet. I came to the wilderness to complete the identification task. If it can be done smoothly, it will be much better than the Golden Threaded Clothes. How can I waste time to cheat you of the Golden Threaded Clothes!"
After hearing my explanation, Da Qiao showed a look of relief on her face, but Xiao Qiao was still skeptical and said, "You do have a lot of treasures on you, worthy of being the owner of a treasure bowl, but God knows if you are greedy or a lustful person!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This girl was even trying to pick a fight with me. After all, I, Bloody Sky, was a well-known figure in Fantasy, and I believed that I had never done anything that was harmful to the world. Was I really untrustworthy? I didn't look like a pervert, did I?
"Little sister, stop talking!" Da Qiao stopped her from talking and said to me apologetically, "Blood Alliance Leader, my sister is rude, please forgive me. Recently, there are many boring people harassing us sisters, and she is in a bad mood, so please forgive me."
I deliberately put on a mature face and said, "It's okay, the child is ignorant, I won't blame her."
"Puff" laughed, it turned out that Da Qiao was amused by me, Xiao Qiao was so angry that her face turned red and said: "Who do you say is a child?" Then she said to Da Qiao: "Sister, don't believe him, he doesn't look like a good person, and you still apologize to him!"
Da Qiao smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't know whether he is a good guy or a bad guy. The Blood Alliance Leader certainly didn't come for our golden embroidered clothes. We misunderstood him and we should apologize."
"Sister, we don't know him, so how can you know that he is telling the truth?" Xiao Qiao said, pulling her sister's sleeve.
"Little sister, why have we been in trouble these days? As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure, isn't it because those people covet the treasure? The Blood Alliance Leader has a divine weapon, but he is open-minded and open-minded. He treats us with sincerity. Otherwise, as long as we spread the news that he has multiple divine weapons, he will be in no less trouble than us. Since he treats us with sincerity, the Blood Alliance Leader is naturally telling the truth."
I secretly admired her in my heart, what a beautiful and intelligent woman. I didn't expect that Da Qiao could have such insight, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
After hearing what her sister said, Xiao Qiao's eyes rolled around and she said in a soft voice: "Even so, he ruined our plan, we should ask him to compensate, otherwise..." She stopped talking and just glanced at me with ill intent.
I felt great remorse in my heart. I took out the Tiger Soul and the Crystal Pillar not to gain their trust, but on impulse because I didn't want to be looked down upon. However, I realized in a moment that this would do more harm than good. Only a few people knew that I had these two artifacts before, only the core brothers in the alliance and Xiao Yi, Wan Xing and others. Now, I have exposed this secret because of a momentary impulse, especially when the two sisters saw the properties of the Tiger Soul and knew that it was an incomplete artifact that had not yet recognized its owner, and the other one had not yet been identified. It was not impossible for it to be taken away. If the news got out, I would be in big trouble. In the future, the number of players who come to assassinate me or steal from me will definitely not be less than the people who harassed Er Qiao before. What's the point of my survival then?
What's even more troublesome is that, after being reminded by her sister, Xiao Qiao has obviously understood the key. Although she didn't say everything, it was clearly a naked threat and blackmail. I just don't know what she meant by "I ruined their big plan"?
“Forget it, it was an unintentional mistake by the Blood Alliance Leader. Let’s think of another way.” Da Qiao said.
I looked at the two sisters with a puzzled look. Xiao Qiao met my gaze, frowned, and said angrily, "What are you looking at? You rashly barged in, and my sister and I spent a lot of effort to lure out the Golden Silkworm King, but you scared him away. Don't you deserve compensation?"
Golden Silkworm King? Oh my god, Golden Silkworm is a special product of the wilderness, known as one of the seven most poisonous poisons in the world, extremely powerful. The Golden Silkworm King is the king of all poisons, a C-level Boss. How dare these two girls provoke such a monster, are they trying to save their lives?
"Are you kidding? Lure out the Golden Silkworm King? Last time the monsters attacked the city, over ten thousand players surrounded and killed a Stoneman King and thousands of them died. A C-level Boss is simply not something that players of the current level can contend with. You don't have to go through so much trouble to commit suicide, right?"
"Hmph, don't underestimate me. You are the best player in Fantasy, so what? Playing this game depends on wisdom, not brute force! Who says we can't deal with the Golden Silkworm King because of our low level?"
"Oh? I don't believe it. C-level Boss is not that easy to deal with. You must be bragging." I couldn't help but get interested. Looking at Xiao Qiao's attitude, they really have a way to deal with the Golden Silkworm King. If I can find out this method from them, I can challenge C-level Boss in the future. With my cornucopia, won't I make a fortune? Fortunately, this girl is completely childish. When I provoked her, she told me all her secrets!
