Xiao Zhi stepped out of the teleportation formation in Borderlands.
Because of the recent opening of the new map and the opening of the Hesse trade zone, people on the mainland are flocking towards the Dolly Alliance and Hesse. The land of no man, which was originally full of various explorers and opportunists, has obviously changed. Got to be empty.
There are a lot fewer gray tents near the teleportation array, and there are not as many people wearing cloaks coming and going as before.
Xiao Zhi wandered around unintentionally, glanced at the surrounding environment for a while and left.
When looking for information before, the news on the forum mentioned that Eugene likes to live in the valley, but he will often change places, and he will not live in each location for too long.
In connection with Eugene's Xiyue Clan identity, Xiao Zhi guessed that the valley chosen by the other party should have water.
For the Xiyue tribe, water is not only a comfortable living environment, but also a guarantee of safety. The Xiyue tribe is very picky about water quality, as long as they have a choice, they should not live in swamps and stagnant stagnant water.
Therefore, in addition to the places where Eugene haunted mentioned on the forum, Xiao Zhi also selected some valleys with running water. The land of no man has a large area, and it will take a lot of time to search through it all. Xiao Zhi hopes that his luck will be better.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi's forward steps paused slightly.
He felt someone following behind him.
Xiao Zhi turned his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person in a gray cloak a few meters behind him, who seemed to be walking behind him unintentionally, but raised his head from time to time and swept him glance.
He looked around again, there was a person in front of him, leaning against a tree as if he was waiting for someone, but he stepped on Xiao Zhi's path.
There was also a man in a cloak walking forward with him at a certain position on the side. They chose a very clever position, forming a posture of encircling him.
The three of them looked quite professional.
Xiao Zhi would never think that they were missing one out of three when they were playing poker and wanted to find a poker buddy. These people may want to rob, or they may want to kill and get money, or it is not uncommon for them to have some more shady purpose.
Xiao Zhi accelerated his feet, making a gesture to break out from the person in front.
Seeing that the target had seen through his own purpose, the two people following him also speeded up simultaneously, and the one in front even took out his bow and arrow directly, pointing the arrow pointing at Xiao Zhi.
"My friend, can you please stop, we want to discuss something with you." The man with the bow and arrow said in a deep voice.
Almost at the same time as him, the other two also took out their weapons. These are two firearms experts, and their guns were also aimed at Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi's movements didn't stop, he still rushed straight towards him.
The man with the bow and arrow frowned. As a ranger, he instinctively hated all enemies who wanted to get close. Seeing that this guy was really disobedient, he didn't hesitate. He let go of the bowstring, and the sharp arrow drew a straight line in the air, and suddenly attacked Xiao Zhi.
Following the attack of the bow and arrow, two bullets also shot towards Xiao Zhi.
The cooperation of the three was extremely tacit, and the attacks surrounded Xiao Zhi from three angles, almost blocking his escape direction.
In the next instant, three attacks hit Xiao Zhi at the same time.
The three of them couldn't help but sneered. If this guy was obedient, they might be able to let him leave safely when he was in a good mood, but since the other party didn't cooperate, don't blame them for being cruel.
None of the three people attacked a fatal point, because they didn't know whether the person being attacked was an Athanasi, and it would be bad if they were killed and let the other party get away. What they attacked were the legs that affected people's actions, and the non-lethal parts of the body, which guaranteed that people would lose their combat effectiveness, but they would not die immediately.
But Xiao Zhi who was hit did not fall down, his figure shattered in the air, a burst of dark green flames sprang up, and then disappeared.
Flame illusion, even if it becomes the undead version, it is still easy to use.
At this time, Xiao Zhi's body had already escaped with the help of the surrounding environment.
Although these three people are not difficult opponents, it would be a waste of time to fight them. Second, the various forces in Borderlands are complex and intertwined, and their shadows are behind a large number of criminal activities. No one knows whether these three seemingly ordinary guys actually belong to some difficult force.
In order to avoid trouble, it is better to slip first.
The man with the bow and arrow frowned: "The fire of the dead... is an undead."
Another person said: "Do you want to chase?"
The man with the bow and arrow shook his head: "Forget it, the things on the undead are not easy to sell, and the living people generally don't buy them. It is also troublesome to be missed by the undead. Normal people will become such things when they die. Most of them are These obsessed lunatics, if they fight us to the death, it will be really annoying."
One of them put away his gun: "It's a pity, the task assigned by the boss this month will not be completed again."
Everyone with bows and arrows took the lead to walk back: "There are few people coming to Borderlands recently, and money is not easy to earn. Let's go, wait for the next target, hurry up."
·
After successfully escaping, Xiao Zhi took Alifa to search for Eugene's residence in the land of no man, but unfortunately, he went to several places in a row but failed to find Eugene's trace.
"Gu..." Alifa rubbed Xiao Zhi's face, as if to express comfort.
Xiao Zhi patted its head: "Let's go, let's continue."
Xiao Zhi raised his hand to cross out the place he marked in the notebook before. At this time, several crosses have been drawn on the notebook, and the positions continue all the way to the depths of the land of no man.
They have been walking in the land of no man for two days, and today is the third day, but they still haven't found Eugene, but found a trace of a building and life. Xiao Zhi guessed that Eugene's residence should be able to be stored using magic, and every time he moved, he would move it along with the building.
After a period of time.
Xiao Zhi came to another place that he suspected might be Eugene's residence.
There was a lot of fog here, and the white mist obscured the line of sight, making it difficult for people to see the road ahead.
Xiao Zhi's heart was filled with joy, he smelled a very fresh steam in the air. In a place like the Borderlands, which is full of stale and rancid smell all year round, this smell is very special, and even the water vapor here is stronger than the previous places.
Xiao Zhi took out the soul lamp to light it up, and walked forward.
The soul lamp dispelled the fog in front of him, making his vision a little clearer.
As he was walking, he saw a clear stream flowing slowly by the side of the road. Although the water volume was not large, it was clear to see the bottom. There were some tender green plants growing beside the stream, which looked a bit like no man's land. up.
Thinking about it differently, if he was a Xiyue clan and could only settle in the land of no man, Xiao Zhi thought that he would like it very much.
After advancing for a while, Xiao Zhi suddenly felt something was wrong.
He looked at the streams and green plants on the side of the road that he had once felt emotionally. They seemed to be very similar to the ones he had seen before, even the random growth of weeds was very similar.
Xiao Zhi looked at the surrounding white mist, there seemed to be something preventing him from moving forward.
Xiao Zhi heightened his vigilance and continued to walk forward. This time he paid extra attention to the surrounding environment, and then stepped towards the white mist ahead again.
After a while, the gurgling brook and green plants appeared in his field of vision again.
Xiao Zhi frowned slightly. He had been paying attention to his surroundings and his feet just now, but he didn't see anything special. What could be causing the trouble
Is it a magic circle? Or is there a problem with the fog? Or some Borderlands ghost
Still... Xiao Zhi's eyes fell on the creek and plants that kept appearing repeatedly. He kept wandering here and saw the same scene repeatedly. Could it be related to them.
Xiao Zhi took a step forward and checked carefully.
The creek is crystal clear, the water quality is clear, and the tentacles feel a little cold, which seems to be nothing wrong.
He fiddled with the green plants again. These are unknown plants that are not displayed in the system. They exude a unique fresh smell of plants. The branches are weak and full of water. Could it be the reason for these plants
Xiao Zhi was thinking about it when Alifa, who was lying on his shoulders, suddenly swooped down on the plant, and then Alifa sat down on the ground, holding the soft stems and leaves of the plant with his front paws, and began to gnaw.
Although Alifa's body has shrunk, his sharp teeth are still as effective as ever. Before Xiao Zhi reached out to stop it, he had already gnawed away all the plants in this small clump.
"Goo..." Alifa hiccupped and patted his skeleton-filled chest, as if satisfied.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help looking at Alifa's stomach, it was empty, there was nothing there, and he didn't know where all the food Alifa ate went
When Alifa was full, he flew back to Xiao Zhi's shoulder again, and beckoned him to move on.
Seeing Alifa's confident appearance, Xiao Zhi didn't bother about the principle of the plant anymore, stood up and moved forward again, walking towards the area filled with white mist in front again.
·
Finally, a warm yellow light was vaguely revealed in the white mist ahead.
The height of the lights is neat, looking symmetrical and uniform, obviously placed on the building.
Xiao Zhi quickened his pace, and soon a small house appeared in front of him. The size of the hut is not large, it is divided into two floors, the style is typical of the Xiyue tribe, and it is hung with sea blue curtains, which looks like an ordinary Xiyue tribe dwelling.
The door of the hut was closed, but the lights in the room were on, indicating that there should be someone inside.
"knock knock knock"
Xiao Zhi knocked on the door.
There was no response from inside.
Xiao Zhi knocked on the door again, this time with a bit more force.
Finally, a voice came from inside, and the voice seemed a little irritated: "I'm busy! I'm not free! Find someone else!"
Xiao Zhi asked: "Excuse me, is that Mr. Eugene?"
An impatient voice said, "No, don't come to me."
Hearing this answer, Xiao Zhi was sure that the person in the room was Eugene.
According to the rumors, Eugene has a bad temper and sometimes indulges in research. If you come to visit when he is concentrating, he will be very rude to visitors. Generally speaking, those who visit the White Mage are demanding, so his temper will be tolerated.
But this kind of behavior also caused Eugene's popularity to be unfavorable. Perhaps this was also the reason why no one was willing to protect him when he became a victim in the game of big bosses.
If the matter is not urgent, Xiao Zhi is willing to politely wait for others to finish their research. But it is said that once Eugene indulges in research, it may not end for more than half a month. He can wait, but Asen may not be able to wait.
It seems that this time he can only be a bad guy.
Xiao Zhi knocked on the door again: "Please open the door, the community will send you warmth."
Eugene: "..."
What a god, the community sends warmth! He lives alone in the wilderness, without any neighbors, where is the community.
Eugene yelled, "Get out—"
Before he could finish his sentence, a sparking undead version of the explosive fireball had already knocked down his door with menacing force.
Then the exploding fireball raged through the room like a savage wilderness cow, and finally hit the wall with a "boom", leaving a scorched black mark.
Eugene: "..."
This is so fucking warm.
He looked angrily towards the door, only to find that a warmer fireball was brewing in the hands of the rough visitor, and this time, the target was aimed at him.
Eugene glanced at the precious ancient white magic book in his hand, it would be worth it if he was bombarded by this guy!
He quickly raised his hand to signal the other party to stop: "Wait, wait, wait!!! You savage guy!!!"
Xiao Zhi put away the fireball and smiled politely: "Thank you for the compliment, may I come in?"
Eugene: "..."
No one is complimenting you! !
Eugene quickly put away his beloved ancient books and said, "Come in."
But his hand secretly stretched towards his pocket, trying to take out the teleportation crystal from the storage ring under the cover of his clothes. Since he lived in the land of no man, he has also come into contact with such unreasonable visitors. Of course, he is not unprepared for this, but it is a pity that his hut will definitely be smashed by angry visitors after he escapes. of.
Fortunately, he carried all the most important things with him, and if he lost them in the house, he would just throw them away.
Eugene's hand had just touched the edge of his pocket, when a slender but cold and transparent hand suddenly grabbed his wrist. That hand looked as beautiful as a work of art, but it was held tightly when grasping , not artistic at all.
Startled, Eugene suddenly raised his head, just in time to meet the approaching face of the visitor, and only then did he realize that it was an undead.
The undead in front of him smiled at him: "Where does Mr. Eugene want to go?"
After speaking, the undead took off his storage ring with a smile.
Although the storage ring is protected by magic lines, it cannot be opened unless it is the recognized owner, but outsiders can take it off, but they cannot use the contents.
Seeing that his most important thing was taken away, Eugene became anxious: "You!!"
Xiao Zhi clutched Eugene's storage ring and looked at him: "Sorry, my behavior was a bit rough, sorry for disturbing you."
Eugene didn't want to talk, this guy looks gentle, why is his style so rough? Could this be the legendary feature of the undead
So angry! So angry, so angry! !
Eugene felt like he was going to explode, this face was so close to him, the more he looked at it, the more he hated it!
etc…
so close to me...
Would not it be…
Eugene's eyes suddenly flickered with an emotion called panic, even when Xiao Zhi broke into the door, he was not so frightened.
Xiao Zhi saw Mr. Eugene, who was staring at him angrily, suddenly changed his expression, then he suddenly withdrew his hands, covered his face with both hands, and kept hiding in the corner of the room.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
what's the situation? He looked at his translucent hand, is this guy afraid of ghosts
Worried that the other party wanted to slip away again, Xiao Zhi walked towards him: "Mr. Eugene?"
Eugene in the corner yelled: "You you you you you, you stay away from me... please..."
At this time, his voice was full of sobs: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Xiao Zhi was at a loss, it didn't seem like he wanted to run away, but what did "everyone was seen" refer to? It's like meeting a stinky hooligan in the shower.
He looked at Eugene's well-fitting mage robe, except for his hands and face, nothing was exposed
Eugene glanced up, and found that the intruding undead was still approaching him, he said in a crying voice, "Don't look at me, I know I'm ugly, why are you staring at me!!! "
Xiao Zhi: "???"
Judging from the brief contact before, although this Mr. Eugene's facial features are not as beautiful as those of other Xiyue tribes, they are also the type with correct facial features. Such people are considered ugly, and about half of the people on the mainland are ashamed to see others up.
He tried to comfort the other party: "Actually, you are quite handsome, and you are not ugly at all."
"Gu~" Alifa also agreed.
Unexpectedly, Eugene was not comforted at all: "It's because the aesthetic standards of you foreigners are too low!! I am already at the lowest level of the Xiyue clan... I am tall and big, not beautiful, and I have no face to face others …”
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Alifa: "..."
That's a shame... ugliness limits our imaginations.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help thinking, could this be the reason for Eugene's bad temper? Being in the Xiyue Clan who are full of beauties, because of the inferiority complex brought by his appearance, he is sensitive and autistic, and he is unwilling to communicate with others... There may be something wrong psychologically. On the forum before, the players did not mention this news.
Eugene covered his face with his hands and cried sadly: "You go, I won't leave here."
Xiao Zhi said, "I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward."
Eugene was firm: "I'm already living here anyway, so what's the use of paying more!"
Xiao Zhi thought about it for a while, he tried to figure out Eugene's thoughts, and tentatively said: "In our place, you can be regarded as top-notch good-looking."
He didn't lie. Among the undead, there are too many guys who died in strange shapes. In addition to the zombies or skeletons whose bodies mutated after death, there are not many whose faces are still intact, let alone facial features. that's it.
Eugene's face has not rotted, his head has not been crushed, his face is not covered with blood, and he does not have scars or green spots. He is already a very good-looking batch in Hesse.
Hearing this, Eugene paused for a moment, his tone hesitant: "Really?"
Xiao Zhi said, "Really, you can tell it just by looking at it."
Eugene thought for a while, and still said: "No... I won't go..."
Xiao Zhi: "Are you sure?"
Eugene: "Sure."
Suddenly, Eugene felt that he was floating, and he was really floating.
The gentle and bookish undead in front of him grabbed him by the collar, lifted him into the air, and kept floating towards the outside of the house.
Eugene panicked, covering his face and yelling: "No, no, let me go!!! Stay away from me!!! I won't go out!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsssesses, don't look at me!!! Don't look at me!!! "
There were too many appeals in his mouth, and he didn't know which one was the point.
Xiao Zhi turned a deaf ear to Eugene's words, he carried Eugene all the way, floated outside the house, and then shouted: "Alifa, take me to Yuanhai just like before."
In the next moment, Eugene saw the thing on the opponent's shoulder that looked like a small pet suddenly became bigger and bigger, surpassing the height of a person, his house, and even the big tree in front of his house, and finally became It became a tall giant bone dragon.
Immediately afterwards, the bone dragon opened its huge mouth to the two of them, choking them down.
Then there was a strong wind, and with the feeling of being lifted into the air, Eugene found that he had left the ground and was flying towards the sky at an incredible speed.
"Ahhhh—" Eugene screamed, feeling that his short and unfortunate life was about to end.
This bone dragon is so crazy that it even eats its own master, he is finished! ! !
Why did you do this to him! It's okay for him to be ugly! After finally becoming a top white mage, he offended the boss again! Now I'm hiding in this kind of place where the birds don't shit, and I'm going to be caught and eaten by a weird guy! ! !
Why is he so miserable! ! !
But after screaming for a long time, Eugene found out how could he still breathe? And the undead next to him who was carrying him looked calm, as if being bitten by a giant dragon was not a big deal, the undead was still covering his ears, as if he thought he was noisy.
The brain, which had been subjected to overloaded blows one after another, finally started to function, and Eugene realized a few beats later that he should, probably, probably be fine.
Eugene touched his body, as if... there was no injury...
Seeing that Eugene seemed to have regained his senses, Xiao Zhi said, "Hi, my name is Shiqi, and I'm Hesse's clerk. I'm very sorry to invite you over in such a way."
Eugene still covered his face with his hands, and looked at the undead beside him: "Where are you going to take me?"
Xiao Zhi said: "Of course it's Hessen, there's something I need to trouble Mr. Eugene."
Hearing the word Hessen, Eugene's face turned bitter: "Could it be that the person you want me to heal is an undead?"
Xiao Zhi nodded.
Eugene: "I've never treated the undead. If I fail... you, you, you... won't kill me, will you?"
Xiao Zhi looked at him and showed a gentle smile: "Although I think it is good for Mr. Eugene to be alive, but... Are you reminding me that you are completely from Hesse when you die? This is not bad. proposal."
Eugene felt that he was not well: "..."
He is not he did not stop talking nonsense! ! ! !
Xiao Zhi thought about it: "Anyway, Mr. Eugene, you have nowhere to go now. If you become an undead, you can be completely accepted by Hesse, and you don't have to be afraid of Grand Duke Warren anymore."
Xiao Zhi looked at Youjin, with a sincere smile on his face: "We in Hessen need talents like you."
Eugene: "..."
Seems to make sense...
However, if you want to join Hesse, you have to die first, right? Still dying miserably, with lingering resentment...
Why is this guy's tone so relaxed? ! ! !
The author has something to say: Hesse job fair:
Condition 1: dead
Condition 2: Those who are about to die can relax the standard appropriately
