It was three days before Hao Futuan approached Ji Yao again.
Dongfang Bai couldn't bear the loneliness, and in the past three days, he started to work hard outside the mission hall again. He even prepared a special outfit for Ji Yao. The nails have not been spared, and they are so black that they look like professional grade.
He took a photo of the two of them as a souvenir, and specially passed it on to the rest of the team.
Everyone shed tears of sympathy for Ji Yao, but the little monkey was very interested and clamored to come and play games together, but Li Xuanyuan forcefully suppressed it.
Dongfang Bai was very proud.
At the beginning, Ji Yao hadn't joined the show yet, and he was picky and disgusted by him, so he had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, let go of the airs of a high-level supernatural being who had been in front of people for several years, and devoted himself to the great cause of doing coolies, relying on Work points to the restaurant to receive the most basic food. Dongfang Bai is not picky about food, he eats with gusto, and sometimes competes with Ji Yao for food, which makes Ji Yao laugh and feel distressed.
That's why Hao Futuan didn't know until they found them that they were "down and out" to the point where they were being ordered around while carrying supplies on the construction site.
The foreman in charge of the logistics work heard Hao Futuan's intention, and shouted loudly: "Xiaobai, Xiaocui! We have a distinguished guest! Why don't you hurry over here?!"
Dongfang Bai pulled Ji Yao over. Vice Tuan Hao opened his eyes wide to see that their ragged attire hadn't found their own voice. The foreman said sharply: "Are you guys causing trouble outside?! Captain Hao, look, we all They are really working, and seeing that they can’t eat, I feel sorry for them to keep some work, and it has nothing to do with them, if you want to take it away, you can take it away.”
Dongfang Bai opened his eyes wide in astonishment, not daring to say anything: "How is this possible, boss, what about Xiaobai and I's wages today?"
"What wages! Do you know who this one is?! If you provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked, you have no use for your wages."
"You want to renege on your debt?!" Dongfang Bai was too involved in the drama, and looked at Captain Hao condemningly, "Who are you? Quickly explain to the boss, we are all honest people with our own duties, we can't mess with you You."
Hao Futuan twitched the corner of his mouth, and said stiffly: "Of course not, I'm asking you two for help."
Dongfang Bai looked at the foreman proudly, "Look, we won't leave if the boss doesn't settle the money. Oh, and you, you should remember to pay us the lost wages and so on. There are ten crystals on this day, and now We can only get half of it in half a day."
Deputy Hao: "It must be..."
After walking far away, Vice-Tuan Hao asked in confusion, "Who are you two?"
Ji Yao put Dongfang Bai's "salary money" into the storage belt, hugged Dongfang Bai with a smile and said, "Can't you see it? Experience life."
Deputy Hao: "..." You guys at the Yellow River base really know how to play.
The two of them washed up briefly, and finally switched back to the normal painting style when they came out, and Hao Futuan was finally able to explain his reason for coming.
The thieves caught before have almost been interrogated. These people are either others, or they were thrown by Chang Boen and Shen Xu to hunt for crystals in the forbidden area of death. Later, they were the same as Sha Qianqian and the others after the zombie repellant failed and the high-level zombies went berserk. escaped people.
At that time, Li Xuanyuan and the others chased all the way to the Yellow River base, but they couldn't find them. It turned out that they didn't go far, but escaped under the advice of an earth-type supernatural being.
They hid at the back of the forbidden area of death. At the beginning, there were about 600 people. When they came out of the basement dug out by the earth-type supernatural beings, the Yangtze River base had become history.
"Most of them don't want to join the base, nor do they want to join the Alliance of Free Abilities. They live in the basement relying on the high-level crystal nucleus and supplies they keep in their hands. But I don't know when they started. The crystal nucleus needs to be absorbed, and the energy in the body is becoming more and more abundant. Although some people suddenly turned into zombies before and after, the benefits of becoming advanced superpowers made them unwilling to leave."
Speaking of this, Hao Futuan was also full of sighs.
"We have already visited the basement they mentioned, and there is nothing special about it except that it is very close to the forbidden area of death. According to them, about a year and a half ago, the power of supernatural powers suddenly disappeared. I touched into the forbidden area of death, and found that many of the high-level zombies in the forbidden area of death had died, and only the zombies of level 15 and 6 were left. The thieves group, the people we caught were the ones with the worst talents. Although they couldn't explain how powerful their leader was, according to what they said, even the eleventh-level supernatural powers were among them. In the bandit group, they can only be regarded as low-level supernatural beings."
Hearing this, Dongfang Bai and Ji Yao almost understood the whole story.
It turned out that this group of people got shit luck, relying on the source body of the Red Lake Meteorite in the forbidden area of death, not only fortunately not all of them turned into zombies, but most of them slowly evolved into advanced supernatural beings. And a year and a half ago, Brother Hou took the Red Lake away, and they lost their source of energy.
The forbidden area of death is one of the bases for the alliance of free supernatural beings, so at that time, Brother Monkey did not wipe out all the zombies inside, but lost the energy of the source body and cut down the zombies above level 17 who were violent due to insufficient energy supply. , the other combat effectiveness is still very high, and the high-level zombies who were trapped in the forbidden area by the zombie repellent remained.
Thinking of this, both Ji Yao and Dongfang Bai felt a little tricky, not because they were afraid they would not be able to deal with these people, but because they couldn't guess the depth of the bandit leader's abilities, and this mission probably took a little more effort.
Hao Futuan saw that their faces were serious and did not intend to stay out of the matter, and felt that the chances of persuading them were higher, and continued: "We have not dug up any other information from these prisoners, and the psychic has confirmed that they know very little, so we just We can shut them down first. However, one thing that is certain is that the high-level abilities in the thieves group seem to be facing a bottleneck in upgrading, so the treasures of our auction house are what they are bound to snatch."
"Our team leader discussed it with several other team leaders. The next auction is scheduled to be held in twenty days. It just so happens that our mercenary team got a treasure and asked for an escort from the alliance. We didn't deliberately hide the news. The escort team will definitely become the target of these thieves. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Bai to join the escort team, so that we will have a better chance of winning if we catch people."
Without hesitation, Ji Yao nodded and said, "When are you leaving?"
Deputy Hao: "The sooner the better."
Dongfang Bai put his arms around Ji Yao's shoulders and said, "It's getting more and more interesting."
Ji Yao turned his head and bumped into his smiling eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned to kiss his lips. Dongfang Bai glanced at the speechless Deputy Hao, smiled lightly, patted Ji Yao's face, responded with a light kiss, and said, "Then let's go."
Deputy Hao: "...Mr. Cui, this time we are going to face high-level supernatural thieves who are at least level 12 or above, you?"
Ji Yao said: "Don't bother Head Hao to worry about this kind of thing. If you have concerns, you can. I won't go either." no.
Hao Futuan was speechless and could only compromise.
This team of escorts is carefully selected, and any one that is pulled out is a mission with a reputation in the senior mercenary regiment of the Freedom Alliance. Deputy Qin, who had a relationship with Dongfang Bai Jiyao before, also accompanied him this time. By the side of the deputy group.
Seeing Dongfang Bai, Deputy Qin was surprised: "For such an important task, how could he be here as a support staff?"
Chen Futuan looked at Ji Yao, then at Hao Futuan, who was invisible to the eye, and said in a low voice, "Don't ask about things we shouldn't be involved in."
At this time, Ji Yao was also asking Dongfang Bai: "Is it too obvious that they did this? Surely the bandit group can't be so stupid that they don't even recognize the faces of the high-level abilities of the Liberty Alliance?"
There are so many high-level supernatural beings in an escort team, isn't it obvious to tell the thieves that this is a trap
Dongfang Bai disliked his IQ, "From another point of view, this also shows that the things escorted this time are very important. Think about it, the high-level abilities of these thieves made their fortunes by relying on the source body, and now the source body is gone. The crystal nucleus can't supply their upgrade needs at all, and it's been almost five quarters, and their abilities must still be stagnant, even if they know this is a trap, they will definitely jump in."
Ji Yao thought about it, the so-called success is Xiao He's defeat, these bandit groups are doomed to suffer now if they take advantage of the source body, unless they have a naked body, there is no hope of upgrading.
As a supernatural being, Ji Yao can also understand that as long as there is a slight chance to upgrade these people, they will definitely not give up.
After receiving the mercenary squad that had obtained the treasure by chance, everyone went back the same way.
Dongfang Bai and Ji Yao went to see the treasure, and found that it was a crystal—a crystal that condensed in the spring like a fire crystal and contained the energy of the water system. What is even more commendable is that this crystal can be regenerated as long as it is maintained in water, indeed. It is a rare baby. The people who came to Zetuan did not disappoint Dongfang Bai and the others. Not long after they got the crystal, they finally waited for the bandit group to ambush them.
Unhealable wounds opened on Qin Deputy Tuan and the others, and half of the escort team collapsed in an instant.
Dongfang Bai was stunned. Wasn't the person who created this special wound among the eleventh-level people last time? ! Does this special ability actually have a second one? !
Damn, it's still a level 15 supernatural being!
