“Bang!”

Due to the sudden change, Xia Qi was suddenly knocked down by Ye Di and his back hit the ground.

Fortunately, Ye Di put one arm around his back to help reduce the impact, so Xia Qi was not hurt.

As the two of them were overlapping and their faces were very close, Ye Di's hot breath blew on Xia Qi's face, making him unconsciously turn his head away to avoid his touch.

After Xia Qi turned his head, Ye Di's breath fell on his neck again. Xia Qi only felt a strange burning sensation on the skin that he had burned.

Xia Qi twisted his body uncomfortably again, trying to concentrate and look in the direction where the arrow fell.

The arrow did not penetrate the pillar, but fell on the ground instead. Xia Qi looked closely and found that the arrow did not have an iron arrowhead, but instead had a yellow talisman tied to the tip of the arrow.

Looking at the traces of cinnabar on the yellow talisman, Xia Qi's eyes jumped. He raised his hand and pushed the chest of the person on top of him. He cleared his throat and said, "Are they coming for you?"

Originally, Xia Qi thought that the arrow was meant to kill him, but he didn't expect that they wanted to kill Ye Di.

Tianjizhe is indeed a high-level player with great skills and courage, who even dares to challenge the dungeon boss.

"Hmm..." Ye Di responded softly, then he lowered his head and smiled softly in Xia Qi's ear, "My Moon God, are you worried about me?"

His voice is low and pleasant, with a hoarseness that is very irritating to the ears.

Xia Qi thought expressionlessly, I didn’t, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.

Looking at the red mark on Xia Qi's neck, Ye Di narrowed his eyes, pretending that he didn't see it, and then climbed up seriously.

Ye Di had just sat up when a yellow arrow arrived as expected. Ye Di swung the sleeve of his right hand violently and swept the yellow arrow away.

"My Moon God, are you frightened?" After dealing with another yellow arrow, Ye Di stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Qi up.

After Xia Qi sat firmly, he was about to stand up, but unexpectedly another yellow arrow shot in and almost hit Xia Qi's head.

Seeing that the yellow arrows were endless, Emperor Ye became furious.

"court death!"

This group of tiny outsiders actually destroyed his rituals time and time again. What on earth did they want to do? !

Ye Di put one hand through Xia Qi's waist and lifted him up without waiting for Xia Qi to refuse.

Xia Qi was still holding the Moon God Lamp in his arms, but he was suddenly hugged by the waist and stood on his toes, which made him completely stunned. Then, Ye Di's other hand passed through his knees, and Xia Qi only had time to utter a "hey" before he was carried into the air.

Ye Di flew out of the dragon boat at a very fast speed. Xia Qi was afraid that he would fall off, so he protected the Moon Goddess Lamp in his arms with one hand and hugged his neck with the other.

Because the dragon boat was attacked, both sides of the river were already in chaos. Many soldiers were moving among the crowd, looking around for the attacker.

"Outsiders, come out and die!" The Night Emperor floated high in the sky, his voice deep and loud as he shouted angrily towards the people below.

Hearing the wrong emotion in his voice, Xia Qi raised his head and looked at him.

Ye Di's pair of lacquer-like eyes became darker and darker, and his lips became redder than before. Strange lines appeared on both sides of his cheeks, and the lines ran along his neck and disappeared into his clothes.

At the same time, a heavy low pressure was spreading around Ye Di. Different from the feeling brought by ordinary people's rage, he brought Xia Qi more of a feeling of oppression, which made people tremble uncontrollably.

As if sensing Xia Qi's gaze, Ye Di suddenly lowered his head and rubbed Xia Qi's forehead with his chin, his expression very doting: "Don't be afraid, I will kill them for you."

Xia Qi: “…”

The strange posture of the two floating in the sky, coupled with the Emperor Ye's doting words of "I only take one scoop from the three thousand rivers", made Xia Qi feel a chill in his heart. He always felt that he had become a character like a witch concubine who brought disaster to the country and the cause of the country's destruction.

However, Ye Di didn't think there was anything wrong at all. He looked serious and carefully observed the people passing by on the street below.

Soon, Ye Di locked onto his prey.

There was a whistling sound in his ears, and Xia Qi felt a flash before his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, they landed on the eaves of a tall building.

At this time, there were three people squatting in front of them, each holding a bow and arrow in their hands, and carrying a basket of yellow arrows on their backs. They were like sneak attackers who were shooting arrows at them.

Among them, the wretched backs of the two people on the left and right looked very familiar.

At this time, the three people squatting in front of them didn't notice anything wrong at all. They were discussing how to continue shooting sneak attacks.

"Did you shoot them?"

"It should have hit the target, the arrow has gone in..."

After hearing this, Ye Di took a step forward without saying anything. His right hand formed into a claw, and like lightning, he instantly reached for the back of the man in the middle.

"Ah!" The man only had time to let out a scream before his whole body twitched on the spot and he fell limply to the ground in an instant.

Ye Di sneered and pulled his bloody hand out from the man's back, still holding a bloody heart.

Compared to the Count who used to wield a sword to chop off people's heads, and the Aquaman who used a trident to poke people's throats, the Night Emperor's method of killing people in seconds is undoubtedly the fastest and most direct. He doesn't even say hello and kills the player in one second.

Looking at the heart in Ye Di's hand that was still beating slightly, Xia Qi was deeply shocked.

"It's the boss!" After one of the Tianji people was killed, the remaining two quickly turned their heads. After seeing Ye Di and Xia Qi, Zha Gong on the left was immediately shocked: "Xia Qi?"

Cha Gong thought in disbelief, wasn't Xia Qi still on the dragon boat just now? How come he suddenly appeared behind them with the boss? !

Cha Gong's mind was in a mess. At this moment, the scarred man beside him pushed him downstairs and shouted, "Watch me!"

"careful!"

When the scarred man raised his hand, Xia Qi felt something was wrong. He raised his hand and pushed Ye Di to the side, but due to the recoil force, he fell from the other direction of the roof.

“Swish!”

The scarred man threw something like a chalk brush in his hand, and the brush rolled up countless thick smoke and floated over Xia Qi's head.

Xia Qi's eyes twitched. He had seen this chalk brush before. In the Rose Count copy, Cha Gong had the cripple use this chalk brush to knock him out.

"Run!" The scarred man shouted again.

Although he didn't hit the boss with one blow, Xia Qi pushed Ye Di down, giving Scar Man and Cha Gong time to escape.

The two of them jumped down from the eaves and fled in the opposite direction.

"Outsider!"

After being pushed down by Xia Qi, Ye Di floated up again from below.

In fact, if Xia Qi hadn't pushed him just now, he would have killed both outsiders. In his opinion, the strange smoking brush had no effect on him at all.

It was a pity that his Moon Goddess was worried that he would get hurt, so she did that to him.

Although Ye Di was angry about the intrusion of outsiders, he felt warm in his heart because of Xia Qi's behavior of protecting him just now.

"My Moon God, are you okay?"

Originally, Ye Di planned to chase the outsider first, but remembering that Xia Qi had also fallen down, he had to give up chasing him and began to look for Xia Qi on and under the eaves.

He searched for a while but couldn't find Xia Qi.

Where are the people

Ye Di descended from the high roof and came to the place where Xia Qi had just fallen.

He searched for a while, but still couldn't find him.

Ye Di frowned. He clearly saw Xia Qi falling from the eaves, so how could he suddenly disappear

Just as he was wondering, he noticed with his sharp eyes that there was a black shoe with cloud pattern lying in the corner.

After escaping from the Night Emperor, Xia Qi didn't care about the task of lighting the Moon Goddess Lamp. He was running back along the wall stealthily.

Just now, because he ran so hurriedly, he even dropped one of his shoes.

He was still holding the Moon Goddess Lamp in his arms, but this time, he took off his outer shirt and covered the lamp with it, temporarily blocking most of the light of the Moon Goddess Lamp.

Shuttled back and forth in the narrow alleys, Xia Qi followed the direction of the river and once again returned to the outskirts of the city that never sleeps.

It was already late at night, but the finance guy was still selling watermelons. His voice was hoarse, and there was a sense of selling blood in his voice: "Dear fellow villagers, don't miss it if you pass by. You deserve the watermelon blessed by the Moon Goddess!"

Xia Qi: “…”

This hotspot is well combined.

Xia Qi searched carefully in the crowd and finally saw Sister Hong on another street.

"Sister Hong!"

Xia Qi hid behind a pile of baskets and called out to Sister Hong and Xiao Yu from behind.

Sister Hong didn't expect that Xia Qi would come back. She hurriedly pulled Xiaoyu and came to the place where Xia Qi was hiding.

"What's wrong with you?" Sister Hong felt very embarrassed because the two of them had just been separated.

Xia Qi quickly told Sister Hong what had just happened, and Sister Hong's face suddenly changed: "How could the Heavenly Secret Master be so bold?!"

They even dare to kill the boss, do they want to live

"There's something strange about this yellow talisman. It might be able to harm ghosts." Xia Qi frowned, thinking carefully about what happened. "It seems that all the Tianji practitioners have these bows and arrows and yellow talismans. Why don't we have them? Could it be... that the system specifically gave them to them?"

What's even more outrageous is that Cha Gong and the other two were wearing Taoist robes. Xia Qi didn't think that they would buy Taoist robes in the central space and bring them in.

Sister Hong thought about it carefully and confirmed Xia Qi's guess: "In different games, the difficulty of tasks in different camps will be different. Sometimes, in order to maintain the balance of the game, different exclusive props will be released to different camps."

Is this really possible?!

Xia Qi was immediately shocked. He didn't expect that the tasks of their two camps were different, and the starting prop bonuses they obtained were also different.

"This exclusive item... could it be related to other ways to clear the level?" Xia Qi asked again.

Sister Hong nodded: "You are right. In addition to killing the boss to pass the level, there will be a normal way to pass the game."

Therefore, the yellow talisman in the hands of the Tianji person may have other uses, and may even be a prop to pass the level.

"We have to be careful." Sister Hong said worriedly, "From the current situation, they may be the attackers and we are the defenders. I have participated in similar games before."

The two discussed for a while and found that there were no other clues for the time being.

"I'll go back first." Sister Hong sighed, looking helplessly at the little zombie she was holding, and said, "Xiao Yu is sleepy."

In this role-playing game, she was completely captured by Xiaoyu and didn't even have time to accompany Xia Qi to track down the Tianji person.

Sister Hong planned to coax Xiaoyu to sleep first, and then sneak out in the middle of the night to look for clues.

After making a whole night of noise, Xia Qi felt tired and went home with Sister Hong.

After returning home, Xia Qi found that Meng Po had already fallen asleep, so he sneaked back to the next room and slept peacefully all night.

The next day, Xia Qi was still sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a violent knock on the door.

He rubbed his temples, slowly got up from the bed, walked to the door and opened it.

During the day, Meng Po turned back into a zombie again. Although the blood had faded from her face, her expression was still very exaggerated and she looked very happy.

She looked at Xia Qi with a smile and said gossipingly, "Qi baby, do you know? Last night at the Moon Goddess Lantern Festival, His Majesty met his Moon Goddess, but then the Moon Goddess got lost, leaving behind only a shoe."

Xia Qi rubbed his eyes, looked at Meng Po in confusion, and motioned for her to continue.

Seeing Xia Qi listening attentively, Meng Po cleared her throat and continued, "Today, the guards will go door to door to look for the right age person. Whoever can wear the cloth shoe will be your majesty's Moon God!"

After finishing speaking, Meng Po clenched her fist excitedly and cheered Xia Qi on, "I guess those are a pair of shoes for a woman with bound feet, but it doesn't matter, my baby Qi, you still have a chance!"

Xia Qi: “…”

That was not a shoe for a woman with bound feet, but a size 42 man's shoe.
