Xiao Zhi was walking in the mountains and forests, and small monsters such as poisonous snakes and insects would appear from time to time on the way, but he easily resolved them and became part of the experience bar.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi paused in his forward steps.
There was a sound from the grass in front, as if something was inside.
Xiao Zhi raised his staff, and cautiously approached the direction where the sound came from, but unexpectedly found two short legs flopping non-stop in the grass.
The two short legs looked like wooden branches. Looking down the short legs, I found that the rest of the thing was buried in the soil, and only two legs were left struggling helplessly outside.
It looks like it's weak.
Xiao Zhi calmed down a little, stretched out his hand to grab the short leg and pulled the thing out of the soil.
The one who was pulled out was a Wood Spirit Tribe. He had a round body and short limbs. There were a few dark green leaves on top of his head, which looked like some kind of unknown vegetable.
Xiao Qingcai shook the mud on her head, gave Xiao Zhi an elegant Qianye aristocratic salute, and then said innocently: "Thank you~ kind passerby, my name is Qianye Wu, and I am from the Qianye Kingdom. Crown Prince, you will definitely grow thick and long in the future!"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Why does it sound weird, and this feeling is a bit familiar.
After looking at this little green vegetable again, Xiao Zhi suddenly remembered.
Six hundred years ago, the crown prince of Chiba Kingdom seemed to be called Qianyewu. Some players on the forum said that although this guy had a cute appearance, he was actually a guy who cared about whether the player was thick or not. guy.
Unexpectedly, after 600 years, Qianyewu is still the crown prince, and his hobby of pretending to be cute and driving has not changed at all.
The Wood Spirit Clan is indeed a race with a long lifespan. I don't know if Qianyewu will have a chance to succeed to the throne within a thousand years.
Facing Qianye Wu's seemingly innocent eyes, Xiao Zhi also showed a gentle smile with a bookish look, and said calmly, "Thank you, but I'm thicker and taller than you right now."
As if he didn't notice anything.
Chiba Wu froze: "..."
He looked at Xiao Zhi's gentle smile without any flaws, and he was confused, is this person racing with him? Or did he just answer what he said.
Qianye Wu looked at his thin arms and legs that were as thin as chopsticks, and his body that did not reach the height of Xiao Zhi's knees, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with saying that.
Qianyewu, who felt that he was not thick enough, changed the subject decisively: "Ahem... It's like this, I had a little accident when I was going out, and I was separated from my guard. I don't know if the kind Mr. Asanasi would like to Are you willing to escort me back to Wangshu?"
The next moment Xiao Zhi received a system prompt: "Whether to accept the hidden mission 'Return to the King Tree', prompt: After accepting this mission, you will take the initiative to join the Qianyewu camp, and you will no longer be able to join the Qianyelan camp."
Xiao Zhi's eyes seem to have inadvertently glanced at Qianyewu who was pretending to be calm.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly ordinary escort turned out to be a hidden mission, and there was a faction reminder. Combined with the fact that Qianye Wu Mingming was the crown prince but ran to the edge of the border alone, it is likely that something happened to Qianye Kingdom.
If you push it down further, Qianyewu is still on the weak side in this matter.
accept? Or refuse
As a weak, pitiful and helpless low-level little mage, Xiao Zhi naturally chose to accept it.
Hidden missions represent a lot of experience and rich rewards. As a player, there is no one who is not tempted by it. What's more, whether it's experience or other rewards, they are exactly what Xiao Zhi needs now.
Completing a hidden mission is naturally a more profitable option than going to Chiba Country to move bricks, but the risk is also greater.
"Player '7654321' has joined the faction 'Chiba Crown Prince', the current number of players in this faction: 1"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Is this crown prince being a little too ignorant
Seeing Xiao Zhi nodding to him, Qianyewu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the leaves on the top of his head stretched a little.
He looked at Xiao Zhi: "Mr. 7654321, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory reward, but only after the task is completed."
It sounds a bit stingy, but it is a very common situation on the Dazemenia continent.
Because the players, that is, the Athanasi people have similar reputations on the mainland as the Xiyue clan of profiteers. They are a model of the kind who has milk and is a mother. Whoever gives more benefits will stand on the side. There is no lower limit and it is difficult to win over. .
Other races on the mainland have a consensus: at a critical moment, as long as they are willing to give chips, they will definitely get help from the Athanasi people, but if there is no benefit, they will change their faces in an instant, become scumbag and ruthless.
It's not just that players will be cheated by other races on the mainland, in fact, they have cheated others a lot.
Xiao Zhi didn't worry about getting paid now, he asked Qianyewu: "If I want to escort you to Wangshu, you also have to explain the current situation to me?"
Qianyewu tried to play dumb: "Huh? I just got separated accidentally."
Relying on the fact that he was the only player in the opponent's camp, Xiao Zhi had enough confidence, he said mercilessly: "I'm leaving to tell the truth, maybe Wang Shu can have a job with a higher salary."
Hearing that Qianye Wu was in a hurry, he took small steps with his short legs, and quickly slid up to Xiao Zhi's side, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said in a pitiful tone, "Don't, don't, don't! Is there something to discuss? ~"
Xiao Zhi looked at him, unmoved, acting like a ruthless scumbag.
After a stalemate for a while, Qianye Wu couldn't hold back anymore, who told him that he really needs the other party's help now.
He drooped the little leaf and said, "Well... that's how it is. Recently, there was friction between Qianye and the orc tribe on the other side of the Changyue Desert. The father brought the elite troops there. My brother Qianye Lan took advantage of the father to go out, Just... just want to be the crown prince... "
Xiao Zhi thought for a moment: "Rebellion? There seems to be such news before."
It seems that I have seen such a post on the forum, but I didn't read it carefully at the time.
Chiba Wu said: "Well... last time it was brother 6, last time it was brother 66, this time it was brother 666, it's different."
The reproductive ability of plants has always been terrible. Once the seeds are planted, it is impossible to know how many offspring there are. Naturally, there are many members of the royal family.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
He remembered that Qianyewu seemed to be ranked 700, how unpopular was this crown prince with his brothers? !
Xiao Zhi tried to calm himself down, he asked: "Why did Qianye Lan rebel, do you know?"
Qianyewu thought for a while: "Probably... I want to develop green onion farming under the king tree?"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
You are really talented...
Is it too late to tie this guy up and dedicate it to his Brother 666
At this moment, Qianye Wu suddenly moved closer to Xiao Zhi and looked carefully.
After a while, his brows frowned: "You seem to be very weak?"
Indeed, Xiao Zhi's current level is only level 50, and he doesn't have a piece of high-quality equipment on him. No matter how you look at it, he is a weak adventurer.
But he didn't panic at all, and said lightly: "But I am your only choice now."
The current location of the two is very remote, and he is sure that it is difficult for another player to appear within a few hours' distance.
Qianyewu: "..."
Damn, he felt that he had been reversed. Why is this Athanasi man so treacherous? Does he really have no Xiyue clan blood
Suddenly, the grass not far from the two made a rushing rustling sound, and the sound was approaching their position at an extremely fast speed.
In a moment, it was already close at hand.
Both of them couldn't help looking in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a ferocious face suddenly protruding from the dense grass that was as tall as a person.
That thing looks a bit like a human being, but it is mainly composed of dead branches and leaves of plants, and there are also some broken bodies of unknown creatures after decay, and some stones.
It opened its mouth wide and let out a hoarse cry towards the two of them.
"Luo, Luo, Luo... Luoshiku!" Qianyewu was so frightened that the leaves on his head shrank, and he started to circle in circles, "It's over, it's over, why did I meet this thing?"
Xiao Zhi still has a little impression of Luo Shikuu.
This is an undead creature in the plant system, composed of various dead animal and plant residues in the forest.
The stone skull has no thinking ability, but it will devour all living things by instinct. After being scattered, it will regenerate after a period of time, and then continue the process of wandering and devouring.
It can be called the plant version of the in-situ resurrection zombie.
Not only is the skin rough and fleshy, but it is also very poor. After fighting hard for a long time, there will be nothing valuable in the end.
Another point, this thing... is hunted in groups.
The next moment, more rustling sounds were heard, and five other stone skeletons appeared from the grass. They came from all directions around Xiao Zhi and Qianyewu, forming an encircling circle to enclose the two of them.
Qianye Wu sat down on the ground in despair, tears pouring out: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, i'm done.”
He looked at Xiao Zhi, and felt that this guy was so weak and unreliable.
After thinking for a while, he whispered: "It, it, they prefer to eat my fresh and tender flesh. You should run first, woo woo woo... Please tell my father that I died in a heroic battle..."
Xiao Zhi glanced at him: "A fresh and tender body over six hundred years old?"
Qianyewu: "..."
He was planning to sacrifice himself for others, but this guy actually dislikes his age? ! Do not you upset! !
The stone skeletons had already rushed towards the two of them, Xiao Zhi stopped talking nonsense with Qianye Wu, raised his hand and threw the fireball technique.
Qianyewu saw the treacherous, weak Athanasi who had fooled him raise his staff, and then released six fireballs in a row with almost the same movement.
The fireballs seemed to have been compressed, becoming smaller but hotter, and each of them precisely hit the hollow eye socket of a stone skull.
Of the six fireball techniques, none of them was wasted.
Although the stone skulls have rough skin and thick flesh, they are not afraid of physical and magical damage, but everything has weaknesses, and the stone skulls are no exception. Their weakness is the almost invisible soul stone in the eye socket.
The soul stone is the core of the stone skull's power, and it is also the center of their body. All the stumps and dead leaves are formed around it.
The fiery fireball rushed into the empty skull of the Luoshikuu, and exploded directly inside.
With the explosion of the fireball, the connection between the soul stone and the body was temporarily severed, and several network stone skeletons did not move. After a while, their bodies composed of animal and plant limbs suddenly spread apart, exuding an unpleasant rancid smell.
Before the stone skeletons could be resurrected on the spot, Xiao Zhi grabbed Qianye Wu who was on the ground and ran away, so fast that he didn't look like a mage at all.
"Wow!!" Qianyewu shook the leaves on his head excitedly, "It's amazing! You must be a thick and long guy!"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Qianye Wu excitedly crawled along Xiao Zhi's arm and onto his shoulder: "You are so powerful, I'll call you Dad!"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
What kind of unfilial son is this? Have you ever thought about the feelings of King Chiba
He still wants to live a few more years, and he doesn't want to be wanted by both Chiba and Hessen at the same time.
Xiao Zhi said with difficulty: "Don't, just call him Seventh Brother."
The author has something to say: Asen: What happened to the fresh and tender flesh of more than six hundred years old
Xiao Zhi: ...
