A Race to (Be) The Top

Chapter 57: Awakening from a big dream ┃ Have you ever had a dream?

Views:

Ji Meng looked around in the woods, but there was no trace of Ling Xiaolu.

The people in the friend panel are still online, and it shows that they are in Beimang, but no one is seen, and there is no reply to private chats.

The fog in the forest was getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility was only a few meters. Of the dozen or so people who came with him, none of them disappeared. All that could be heard was the sound of deer hooves stepping on the snow, and the forest was permeated with a strange and gloomy aura.

"Ji Meng! Ji Meng!" A voice finally made Ji Meng confirm that he was still awake, and that he had not unknowingly been in an illusion.

Chang Huanxi ran towards him excitedly, followed by Zero who was inseparable from him.

"Look at Ji Meng! I caught the fox!"

Ji Meng was about to say how it was possible when he saw Chang Huanxi holding a fluffy white dumpling in his arms.

"How is that possible?" He still blurted out, "How can you have a fox's picture book?"

"I don't have it, but I don't have it! Have you forgotten that he is an employee of Xinshan? He taught me how to use it, and I caught it in one shot. It's not that powerful!"

"..." This fox is extremely difficult to capture, not to mention that it is difficult to meet, even if it does happen, it is common for it to fail more than a dozen times in a row.

In this regard, Ji Meng can only explain that Chang Huanxi is so ugly that even the system can't stand it, and he sent a fox to make up for him.

Chang Huanxi noticed that Ji Meng was not happy because of this, but looked around anxiously.

"The fox already has it, what are you looking for?"

"Where's Lubi? Have you seen anyone else?" Ji Meng asked with a frown.

"Brother Xiaolu? Isn't he with you?"

"We got separated."

"I'm gone..." Chang Huanxi also felt a headache and helpless looking at the thick white fog around her.

"I'll go and look around." Ji Meng was about to leave when he heard Ling speak.

"What are you looking for, Lubi?"

Ji Meng turned back immediately: "Have you seen it?"

Zero answered irrelevantly: "To please Ji Meng."

Ji Meng:

Zero turned his neck slowly and evenly, as if making a detailed scan of the forest.

"Find the target."

He opened his eyes suddenly, and a gust of wind ran through the front, blowing the fog along the way without a trace, and his vision instantly widened.

Ji Meng: ? ?

Ling Xiaolu stood at the end of Ji Meng's suddenly clear line of sight, raised his right hand strangely, and pointed to Li Zheng in front of him.

Ji Meng's heart suddenly tightened. For some reason, this scene gave him the illusion that he was about to lose Ling Xiaolu.

It was as if the next second, the two would leave hand in hand, and have nothing to do with him from now on.

However, in the next second, Li Zheng made a gesture that Ji Meng couldn't understand. Ling Xiaolu's shoulder shook, as if he had fallen from a dream to reality.

"... Master?"

Ling Xiaolu stared at Li Zheng in a trance, and also noticed the index finger that he stretched out inexplicably.

He put his hand in front of him and looked left and right for unknown reasons: "What am I doing?" Why did he do such a strange action

"It's nothing," Li Zheng's tone was still as cold as a cold pool, silent, "You fell into Yunhu's illusion, and I have already solved it for you."

"I got an illusion?" Ling Xiaolu looked confused, "Then what did I say?"

"You were talking to yourself before I came, and you couldn't hear a single word."

Ling Xiaolu tried hard to recall, but it was blank.

"I don't remember what I saw, it seemed like something was sad." Although he didn't remember the picture, he vaguely remembered the mood at that time.

"Lubi!" Ji Meng drove the deer to come, pretending to be calm.

When Ling Xiaolu saw him, he was no longer in a sad mood, and ran to meet him happily.

"I saw the fox and it's..."

Ling Xiaolu turned around and pointed to the middle. Not to mention Yunhu there, even the figure of Li Zheng was gone.

"Strange, what about my master?"

Ji Meng didn't care where the divorce went, it was better to go.

"The fox has caught it."

"Ah?" Ling Xiaolu was quickly distracted, "You caught it? Where?"

"Here and here!" Chang Huanxi rushed over, shaking her chubby body, Yunhu obediently wrapped around his neck, "I caught it!"

"Eh? Xi'er, that's amazing!" Ling Xiaolu had no idea that Chang Huanxi would be the first to come out on top.

"Really? I didn't expect catching a baby to be so fun," Chang Huanxi happily stroked Yunhu's tail.

Ling Xiaolu remembered that they still had competitors.

"What about the people from Dou Niwan? It was obvious that they had a strong sense of existence just now. Why haven't any of them been seen?"

The fog dissipated again, and Ling Xiaolu saw the members of Dou Niwan's clan on the other side of the forest.

They also seemed to have fallen into illusions, some giggled, some shed tears, some hugged the tree tightly, and some sat on the ground eating snow in dejection.

Dou Kou smiled at a big rock: "Daughter, do you like this fox? Dad can catch anything else you want."

None of the four of them learned the skills to remove illusions. Fortunately, the DEBUFF time was limited, and those who were recruited returned to normal one after another.

When Dou Kou woke up, he found that the fox had fallen into his hands, and he was angry and anxious.

"I have promised Xiao Nanxun that I will give her a fox." He angrily walked around the snow twice, stepping on messy footprints, "Little fat man over there, can you sell me the fox?"

"No." Ling Xiaolu and Chang Huanxi said in unison.

"This is what I want to give to Xiao Nanxun." Chang Huanxi added fuel to the fire.

Dou Kou was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time: "You ask for a price, how much it will cost you to talk!"

"You look like I'm short of money?" Chang Huanxi couldn't be complimented except for the character shape. From head to toe, everything was the most expensive commodity in the mall, which was basically equivalent to a walking money printing machine.

"Then make an offer!" Dou Kou went out.

"Well..." Chang Huanxi couldn't think of it, "Xiaolu, say it."

"You want to sell?" Ling Xiaolu asked in surprise.

Chang Huanxi put it in his ear: "Looking at his sincere attitude, give him a chance."

Ling Xiaolu was also embarrassed: "What conditions can I open, is it possible for him to give you a mine?"

"What can mine do? I don't care about it."

The attendant also got close to Dou Kou and whispered a few words in a low voice, Dou Kou's expression was instantly tangled.

"Impossible! Can't do it!"

The attendant looked helpless: "Patriarch, I can only think of this, maybe there is still a chance."

Dou Kou walked around irritably, Ji Meng didn't want to waste time with him, and said to Ling Xiaolu and Chang Huanxi, "Let's go."

"Wait!" Dou Kou shouted loudly.

His expression was as if he had just made a very difficult decision: "You wait for me!"

Ling Xiaolu was inexplicable: "Didn't you ask us for something, why did you let go of your cruel words?" Could it be possible to use robbing

No matter what he said, Dou Kou raised his hand and pressed his earlobe, and exchanged a few words with someone he didn't know. In a blink of an eye, Poison Dove used his friend's teleportation to fly to Ling Xiaolu.

"What? This man said he wanted to trouble you?"

Ling Xiaolu looked confused: "Huh?"

"I said it!" Dou Kou shouted angrily, "I don't say that, how can you come so quickly?"

"There is a chance to harvest, and I always come very quickly." The sharp fingernails of the dove popped out of the glove.

"Wait," Ling Xiaolu stopped him, "listen to what he wants to say first."

Dou Kou gritted his teeth and pouted again, and finally made up his mind, stood at attention, and quickly bowed to Poison Dou: "I'm sorry!"

Poison Dove: "..."

Dou Kou also persisted for less than two seconds before returning to his original state, speaking aggressively.

"Okay! What else do you want me to do! You have to kneel down and admit your fault?!"

Poison Dove turned to Ling Xiaolu: "What did you do to him?"

Ling Xiaolu pointed to the cloud fox on Chang Huanxi's neck, and the dove understood: "So it is."

"Forget it, give it to him." Ji Meng said without emotion.

Chang Huanxi listened to his words and took off the cloud fox from her neck: "Go, baby."

Dou Kou was ecstatic when he caught it like a treasure.

"Congratulations to the patriarch! The patriarch can bend and stretch!" The people of Dou Niwan never gave up any chance to praise the patriarch.

Dou Kou couldn't wait to go to Nan Xun to offer his treasure. When he passed by Ling Xiaolu and his group, his footsteps were stagnant, his expression was complicated, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it. After a long time, he stomped away.

"Wait!" Ji Meng stopped him.

Dou Kou exploded like a firecracker: "What's the matter! You want money, right? You can ask for money, but I won't pay back the fox!"

Ji masked expressionlessly: "Penname can't carry battle pets, remember to learn mount skills before giving it to her."

"Aiya," Dou Kou patted his head angrily, "How could I forget about this stubborn brain."

He greeted the clan members: "Go, go to the pet exchange to learn skills!"

"Yes patriarch!"

Dou Kou happily took the people away: "My daughter has a fox to ride! My daughter can ride a fox!"

Ling Xiaolu didn't know whether to be angry or amused: "This person is really, no matter good or bad, as long as he sets a goal, he will do whatever he can."

Ji Meng was cold for a long time, and Dou Kou turned his face a second after he left.

"Don't talk about others, talk about yourself! Are you here to catch the fox, or are you here to be caught by the fox? You promised to come right away, but where did you go!"

Ling Xiaolu: "…"

How could he forget that there is still a wave of calamities to be crossed here.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry," Ling Xiaolu grabbed his arm naturally, "The fog is too thick, I'm lost."

Poison Dou fights for him: "Little brother, why do the people you know treat you more fiercely than each other

"I didn't kill Brother Xiaolu!" Chang Huanxi hurriedly raised her hand to clarify.

"Not fierce, not fierce," Ling Xiaolu said on behalf of Ji Meng with unknowing conscience, "he is usually gentle."

Chang Huanxi vomited.

Being given a fierce face by the gentle Ji Meng, he didn't mean to be gentle at all.

"Don't pay attention to them. After the fox has been caught, I will take you to the battlefield to kill."

"..." Ling Xiaolu found out that, for Poison Jiu, taking people down to the battlefield to kill is also an obsession.

Ji Meng became anxious when he heard this, so he forced Ling Xiaolu behind him: "No way! We'll have a live broadcast later!"

"Live? Isn't it tomorrow?" Ling Xiaolu asked stupidly behind him.

"I'll go to the arena with him!"

"There are only 1V1 and 3V3 in the arena, so two people can't fight?"

"Mission! Do the task, head office!" Ji Meng turned his head in exasperation and roared at him.

Ling Xiaolu was afraid of leaning back: ... Just say that you want to play together, it's that simple.

He secretly hid behind Ji Meng and winked at the Poison Dove, imitating the movements of Shun Mao in the air.

Poison Dove understands: "Okay, then tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow we also have a mission!" Ji Meng interrupted him unceremoniously, "And the day after tomorrow! The day after tomorrow!"

Poison Dove chuckled, with a vague sense of ridicule: "I didn't expect it to be a series of tasks."

"Why, do you despise Xin Shan's plan? All the tasks in this game have a beginning and an end!"

Chang Huanxi interjected: "Hey, our net zero is not bad at this point."

Ji Meng glared at him, thinking he was superfluous.

Chang Huanxi shrugged, pulled Ling up and walked away: "A Ling, have you played my game? I'll send you a set of peripherals later, can you try it?"

The figure of the dove gradually disappeared but was hidden among the crows: "I'll go see what the people in Dou Niwan are busy with."

... It seems that Dou Kou's apology has limited effect!

"If they are with Xiao Nanxun, then let's face off!" Ling Xiaolu warned before the dove disappeared.

"Don't worry." Only two words were left in the air.

Finally there were only the two of them left, Ling Xiaolu took the initiative to grab the topic before Ji Meng got angry again: "Where are we going to do the task? What task?"

Ji Meng took a high breath and let it go slowly, but his expression was not clear, the way was unclear, and he was even a little sad. Such Ji Meng made Ling Xiaolu feel unfamiliar.

"What did you say when you were in the woods with Li Zheng just now?"

"What did you say?" Ling Xiaolu mechanically repeated his last sentence.

"I saw you pointing at him."

"Is it like this?" Ling Xiaolu raised his hand again. After a while, he felt that the meaning of this action was complicated, so he put it down again.

"Have you ever had a dream? It's the kind of sudden awakening from a dream, knowing that you just had a dream, but you can't remember the content of the dream."

"Know."

"That's what I felt when I was awake, maybe I was in a hallucination, pointing at someone or something."

Ji Meng lowered his head and pursed his lower lip, trying to swallow the weird feeling deep in his throat.

"Did you know that when Zero dispelled the fog and I saw you for the first time—"

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.

"forget it. I'm done here."

"Ah? Don't, tell me, what happened to you then?" Ling Xiaolu asked curiously.

Ji Meng raised his head, with obvious confusion in his eyes: "I thought you were going to disappear."

"I disappeared? How could it be!"

"I mean, you are leaving with your master."

"Go? Where are you going? Are you going back to Beimang?" Ling Xiaolu was even more confused, "This is Beimang?"

"..." Ji Meng chicken and duck said that this person didn't have a moment of seriousness, so why did he suddenly think that he would lose him

Who cares about losing a fool!

Ji Meng went down the mountain angrily. Before leaving, he didn't forget to grab Ling Xiaolu onto the deer's back and pinned it between his arms. Ling Xiaolu's ribs were hurt a little by him.

"Afraid that I will disappear again?"

"To shut up!"

"But you haven't said what mission we are going to do." Ling Xiaolu suspected that Ji Meng could not find a place to take the mission.

Ji Meng was even more domineering and called his exclusive customer service directly: "Is there any task for a fool to do!"

customer service:"… "

She asked politely and implicitly, "Are you on a mission?"

"right!"

The customer service contact context, fell into contemplation.

"Sorry for the long wait, I have retrieved the plot missions for you that you have not yet completed."

Task names are densely arranged on the holographic screen, and the page turning bar seems to be very long behind.

Ling Xiaolu was delighted: "The task that Ji Meng has not completed, isn't that all tasks -1?"

People who have only completed one task so far dare to boast that their tasks have a beginning and an end.

Ji Meng's customer service is very understanding: "After my latest screening, these are the task lists suitable for two players to complete together."

A lot less, but still exaggerated.

Ling Xiaolu suddenly thought: "Is there a series of tasks for [The Last Wish of the Unknown Soldier]

The customer service continued to search: "The database shows that [The Last Wish of the Unknown Soldier] is an independent hidden mission, there is no serial mission, and only another mission is slightly related to it."

"What is it?"

"This is a series of quests, and the name of the initial quest is [Student Playing Witches]."

"The name of this task is so good." Even Ling Xiaolu, a middle-2 junior, was not interested, and Ji Meng agreed with it.

"This is also one of the main quests in the game, but..."

"But what?"

"The main task is usually long, and if all are done, it may take several days to complete."

Ji Meng: "Okay! Just do this!"

Ling Xiaolu: "…"

The customer service put away the holographic screen and nodded slightly: "So, do I need to help you teleport there?"

Ling Xiaolu: ... It turns out that you don't have to find the location of the mission if you have money, authority dog!
