It seems that in order to relieve the discomfort and embarrassment caused by taking off their clothes, the two who had been relatively silent in the past seemed to talk a lot, trying to find a suitable topic—
"Speaking of which, I miscalculated today. I didn't expect it to be different from what I imagined. I almost lost my life. I'm really... sorry."
"This kind of apology... is really weird. I don't think there is anything to be sorry for not being able to beat this kind of guy." Sally turned her head and looked at the corpse of the Scorpion King. There were more than a dozen arrows stuck in the other's eye sockets. It looks like a bunch of antennas are stuck on the head, which looks a little funny.
"In the future - will you meet such a guy again?"
"No, just this one. But it's really a terrible guy, he almost died..."
At first, it was the exclamation of the rest of the life, but gradually, Sally changed the subject and said: "Before you said that you were smarter than me, I just thought it was your pretending. But now, I have to admit it. .”
"I'm just experienced. To put it bluntly, if you hadn't turned around and ran when I was knocked into the air, I guess both of us would have died here." Rody also exhaled, a little self-blame and annoyed, " I was negligent about some problems, which caused you to be stung so many times by scorpions—”
"By the way... I've always wanted to know—why did you feel fine after being knocked into the air? The last time you faced an orc seemed to be like this. I clearly saw that you were hacked in the back by that orc—could you..."
In fact, Sally has been figuring out these things since she sat here, and now she finally found the right time to raise it. She stared at Rody without blinking, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice in disbelief: " Could it be... are you an undead? Are you... immortal?"
"Ah Choo..."
Luo Di sneezed a lot, touched his nose, but suddenly felt that the girl next to him was really cute. He didn't know how to explain it, and he suddenly felt that the reason was good, and replied jokingly: "Alas— Unexpectedly, I still let you see it."
There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere, and Sally looked at Rody's face in a daze, and her expression suddenly became very exciting.
In the next second, screams resounded through the forest.
"ah-"
Sally wanted to back up as if getting an electric shock, but she fell backwards as soon as her legs went limp, and almost turned over—she really believed Roddy's words, after all, this girl had never seen what a real undead looked like , plus Rody mentioned the question about the undead before, the two combined in her mind for a moment, and she really regarded Rody as those legendary undead walking in the cemetery, staggering and covered in ice. Already...
Thinking that she was hugging such a guy in the water just now, Sally felt like she was about to cry from fright.
Rody on the side was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this young lady was quite smart just now, but now why is her IQ declining all of a sudden? He looked at Sally who was on her back, and opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and stared blankly ahead, his expression became even more exciting than Sally...
The girl in front of her was naked and wrapped in a leopard skin, she fell to the ground with her head up in such a state of embarrassment, although the leopard skin was not small, it couldn't cover her lower body at all...
If you say "go away", I'm afraid that Sally almost "went away" with her bottom up...
Well, true white, uh...why is it golden
It was only when this consciousness flashed across his mind that Rody realized what he saw—when the words "see no evil" came to mind, he swallowed and used his strong willpower to make himself look away. Moved away, turned his face away and said loudly: "Don't...don't take it seriously, I was joking...it's really not that, don't be afraid!"
Sally got up in a panic and hurriedly covered herself with leopard skin. Her frightening face, which was white just now, instantly turned red like a chameleon after hearing Rody's words—
The good impressions that Rody had accumulated in her heart were completely destroyed in an instant. Sally was so angry that she almost bit her lips. The desire to punch and kick her was not enough to describe her resentment... Sally even wanted to Only after killing Roddy alive did he feel relieved!
Although Luo Di was dull to women, no matter how stupid he was at this time, he realized that he seemed to have gone too far. He stammered and said that he was going to get some food, picked up the package, got up and ran away wrapped in animal skins, leaving Sally sat silently in front of the fire and gritted her teeth.
"Bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard bastard...!"
Sally clenched her fists tightly, her silver teeth almost gnawed into pieces. Looking at the back of Rody running away, she wanted to say a few harsh words, but she couldn't say them because of self-restraint. In the end, she just waved her fist back angrily, and said nothing more.
After running a long way, Rody stopped, shook his head, and realized that the golden thing he had just seen was still in his mind... Hey, I have seen this kind of thing on the Internet in my previous life. Are you so restless
The technical geek Luo Di patted his face, thought for a while, and decided to take stock of the harvest after the battle to wash away this messy emotion.
Thinking of this, he dug out his bag and first took out the poison sac left by the scorpion.
[Venom Sac of Scorpion King Gilges]
Quest item only
"The female scorpion will use all its venom against enemies that block its breeding, even if it will kill it."
The note under the poison sac made Rody frown. It was not difficult for him to think of a possible fact—this scorpion king named Gilges should be breeding its next generation. Could it be that the poisonous scorpion it gave birth to was the guy named "Therix"
Male scorpions can only mate twice in a lifetime, while female scorpions can only give birth once. In the current situation, Rody felt that he seemed to have strangled the unborn "Therix" in his mother's womb. Thinking of the scene where the Scorpion King desperately went to eat the fish in the trap just now, Roddy understood a little bit... Maybe because of the reason for giving birth, its desire for food is far greater than usual.
This poison sac is of no use to Rody. Although the item level is not low, it now seems to be meaningless except for poisoning the weapon. Putting away the poison sac, Rody looked at his character attributes - because he killed OSS across levels, the experience value this scorpion gave him far exceeded the sum of the previous battles, reaching an astonishing 20 points!
This made him less than 2,000 experience points away from level 5 after he was promoted to level 4. Even he himself didn't expect the speed of leveling up to be so fast. He remembered that he was getting closer and closer to level 10, the threshold for changing jobs. , Rody realized that he had to make substantial preparations in advance.
The reason why I think so is because there is a very common saying in the game - "Only after changing jobs can you experience the essence of the game."
For the current Roddy, the basic professional legionnaire can only bring him some of the most basic skills. After the basic level 10, he can add points in the "basic talent tree" to improve himself, and after changing jobs, He will be able to unlock "advanced professional talent tree", "combat stance", "optional skills" and many other abilities that have a great influence on the battle. Compared with the present, it can even be called a cloud and mud.
Before the tenth level, the difference between players is nothing more than one or two basic skills and attributes.
At this moment, Rody, who has reached level 4, has a blood volume of 180 points, and his strength and agility have been enhanced. The so-called high-risk high-yield is acceptable to Rody for the current result. At least Sally's life was saved, and she also gained a lot of experience. The UG that has been upgraded to restore blood left him without any wounds on his body, so the next "road to escape" seemed to become easier for Rody.
There are still six usable arrows at hand, and the horn bow and scimitar are in normal use. A lesson learned from the past, Rody, who originally wanted to relax and lie down for a while, no longer dared to take it lightly. Looking at Sarah who seemed to have stabilized and gradually fell into a deep sleep Li, Roddy found a tree stump to sit down, and began to "stand guard" silently.
But he didn't know that the girl covered with leopard skin not far away clenched her fist lightly, resisting the desire to say something.
……………………. .
At the same moment, Francis, who was still in Vic Village, couldn't sit still.
Waiting is always a torment. For him who has made up his mind to eradicate his sister, he can't rest assured even a minute before the news of Sally's death—the cavalry brigade rushed out by Conselton can almost The investigation places were searched in turn. It stands to reason that even if Sally could dig a hole to hide like a groundhog, they could at least find some traces.
But the actual situation made him feel cold all over: no one could find any clues, not even footprints.
The ten orc wolf cavalry died as soon as they said they were dead, and it seemed that they were still killed by one person. The bodies of Old Gessen and others were also found. It seems that they had fought a desperate battle with the orcs, and they actually cut down three wolf cavalrymen before they all fell down. Presumably, they also fought with the belief that they must die.
And this further shows that it is impossible for Sally to escape the siege of the orcs, but the fact that she disappeared out of thin air is just in front of her, and no one can make a difference.
Thinking of the possibility of Sally surviving, Francis felt extremely irritable - he understood the abilities of his subordinates and those strong men in his territory. From the father of the Duke of Houlier City, there might be a few powerful guardian knights who could have this kind of strength , but in the entire outer fortress and these remote areas, who can say that he can single out ten wolf cavalry
What's more, the tragic battlefield also showed that the opponent did not kill ten people with ease. He was good at using bows and arrows and had precise shooting skills. There were too few people who met this condition—at least in Francis' impression, there was no one in the entire territory who was "shooting" Art" famous.
Could it be the wood elves
But after thinking about it, the wood elves in the Silent Whispering Forest didn't seem to have anything to do with humans, so I gave up on this ridiculous idea.
He's in a bad mood now, but he can't wait in Wake Village forever, otherwise there's no way to explain it to his father—although his father is so indifferent to him and Sally's affairs at all, Francis doesn't think that This kind of thing can be fooled. So now he feels that he is walking on thin ice, and he dare not make the slightest mistake.
"Let the Mex Knights send troops to continue patrolling along the path outside Houlier City."
"Yes, my lord!"
The confidant led away, and Francis immediately rode on the horse prepared for him by the servant, and said in a low voice, "Immediately return to Hollier City, even if she can escape my pursuit, she will eventually approach the city gate openly."
The accompanying soldiers packed up their equipment, and then followed the earl to the center of the Efta territory in the southeast.
Francis believed that with his riding speed, it was absolutely impossible for Sally, who was constantly avoiding raids, to return to Holy City one step ahead of him.
In fact, there has always been a premonition in his heart. That is, Sally hid in the Forest of Whispering Whispers—but if she is really stupid to that extent, Francis will be relieved, because in that forest, there is basically no fantasy Came out alive.
Hundreds of people in the Efta Territory go deep into this forest every year, and basically they end up with no news at all. For many years, there have never been any adventurers who have crossed the inside alive. It is not uncommon for people who were lucky enough to hunt rare monsters outside and sell them for a large price, but basically no one dared to return to this forest again, because they deeply felt Fear—There are some things in this forest that no one can resist, and the ancestors of the Luciferon family even set a rule: never step into the forest of whispers.
"At this time... I don't have enough time and patience to wait."
Francis looked at the dark forest outline on the side of the road with a gloomy face, and he couldn't help but curse those damned orcs for being unreliable, but when he thought of the agreements reached with Sarota, he swallowed his words back and waved Take the reins, and run off into the distance.
