In order to prevent the soldier from waking up and revealing the traces of the two of them, Xiao Zhi simply tied him up and gagged him, and found an inconspicuous corner to hide.
Seeing Xiao Zhi's skillful movements, Qianye Wu felt the coolness behind her.
Hiss... The Seventh Brother I always feel is a man with a story.
After solving the accident, Xiao Zhi took Qianyewu and continued to move towards the top of Wangshu.
The distance to the top was getting closer and closer, but in front of Xiao Zhi, there was a place where plants were growing, lush and lush, and divided into clear blocks, it looked like... a vegetable field.
The plants in the vegetable field are growing well, and it seems that they have just been fertilized, and they are all stained with plant ash.
Xiao Zhi was puzzled: "Why is there a vegetable field here?"
Qianyewu said: "That's my Chiba family's royal vegetable field, and the scallions are cultivated there."
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Isn't that the test field? You really have a deep love for farming.
At this moment, a voice came from not far away.
"Have you checked here?"
"Not yet. It says that every area should be carefully inspected, and anyone who looks like Qianyewu will be arrested."
"Hurry up, someone will be sent over there later to ask."
Then there was the sound of footsteps, and it sounded like they were not far from where they were, and they were approaching here.
Xiao Zhi and Qianye Wu looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.
This area is open and there are few buildings, so it is not a suitable place to hide.
Qianyewu was so anxious that the leaves spun around: "That, Brother Seven, don't you Asanasi people have the talent to hide things with a swish? Can you hide me too?"
Xiao Zhi thought, he should be referring to the backpack.
Xiao Zhi looked at him: "Yes, yes, but the conditions are a bit tricky."
Qianyewu: "What conditions?"
Xiao Zhi said: "If you are dead, I can put you in, but will you be resurrected in place?"
Qianyewu: "..."
This condition is a bit too tricky.
He said humbly: "Could there be another way?"
Xiao Zhi said, "I know how to disguise."
Qianye's black eyes contained hope.
Xiao Zhi's next sentence ruthlessly shattered his hope: "But I can only hide myself."
Camouflage is a somewhat tasteless skill acquired by Xiao Zhi.
After a lengthy cast, you can gain a short-term effect of blending into the surrounding environment. But after casting the spell, you can't move, and you can't make large movements. You can only hide yourself, and you will still be hurt.
Often when you want to be invisible, you will find that you either don't have time to cast spells, or you can't run away, and it's easy to reveal your flaws.
But there was no better choice at the moment, so Xiao Zhi sat down on a big rock nearby, and started to cast spells.
Qianye Wu asked pitifully: "Seventh brother, what should I do?"
Xiao Zhi gestured to the Chiba Royal Vegetable Field next to him with his eyes: "Go in."
Qianye Wu said in disbelief: "I am dignified as Crown Prince Chiba..."
Xiao Zhi: "Is it decent enough to turn into sliced greens?"
Qianyewu changed his words in an instant: "...as the crown prince, it's good to experience a different life once in a while."
As he spoke, he strode into the lush vegetable field decisively with his short legs, and mixed with a field of unknown vegetables suspected to be radish and cabbage, leaving only the leaves on the top of his head protruding from the ground, disguised as vegetables in the field.
Xiao Zhi reminded: "Grass ash."
Qianyewu reluctantly shook his own small leaves, and pulled the nearby ash to his head. He even put it next to a green vegetable, pretending to be one of the small branches, so that it is completely invisible difference.
Soon, the patrolling soldiers had already reached this area.
They scoured the neighborhood carefully, searching almost every possible hiding place.
Xiao Zhi sat on a big rock not far in front of them, watching their movements openly and aboveboard. At the moment, Qianyewu was nestling in the vegetable field less than two meters away from them, staying as quiet as a vegetable.
The soldiers had no idea that their target was lurking in front of them.
In their impression, as the crown prince, Qianyewu must have been carefully hidden under the strict protection of countless guards. How did they know that he not only lost his guards, but was also instructed by Xiao Zhi to drill into the vegetable field.
After searching to no avail, several soldiers hurried towards the next target area.
Xiao Zhi moved his body and said in a low voice, "Come out."
"Bah, bah, bah..." Qianyewu got out of the mud in a hurry, and spit out the mud in his mouth. He drilled too fast before, and took a big mouthful of soil, but he didn't dare to spit it out, holding it in for a long time.
Qianyewu touched her own leaves, touched the ashes in her hands, and her eyes froze instantly: "Woo, my leaves, I'm not clean anymore."
Xiao Zhi glanced at him and got up straight away: "Let's go."
Qianyewu had no choice but to keep up with grievances.
·
Finally, the two reached the top of the king tree.
The royal palace of Chiba Kingdom follows an exquisite and beautiful route, the buildings look very slender, the palace is patchwork, dotted with many plants that Xiao Zhi doesn't know, it looks like a fairyland among the white clouds.
At the same time, a system prompt appears: "You have completed the task 'Return to the King Tree'"
"You have gained the trust of Chiba Crown Prince Chibawu"
Then, a lot of experience surged in, directly pushing Xiao Zhi's level to 70.
Such a rich experience reward is indeed a hidden task, comparable to moving bricks under the king tree for dozens of days.
Of course, there are also reasons why Xiao Zhi's level is low, and Qianyewu didn't give any rewards in kind, not even a golden shell.
With the task completed, Xiao Zhi can already pat his ass and leave.
But hidden tasks are not so simple, they are generally composed of multiple rings. Xiao Zhi glanced at Qianyewu, and decided to continue with the other party, and he would definitely be able to reap other tasks.
Besides, he was not too worried about Qianyewu, a little green vegetable. This guy looked very unreliable, and he didn't know what would happen to him alone.
Xiao Zhi asked, "Where do you plan to go next?"
Qianyewu thought for a while: "Let's go back to my Yeye Palace first, my subordinates are all over there, and I don't know how everyone is doing."
After entering the palace, Qianyewu finally knew the way. Under his guidance, Xiao Zhi slowly approached the palace where he lived.
On the way, Xiao Zhi found that there were surprisingly few guards in the palace, so he asked Qianye Wu: "Is the security here always so lax?"
Qianyewu looked around: "No, usually the guards in the palace are composed of my father's guards, but this time my father took most of them out when he went out, and now these should be Qianyelan's people. "
Xiao Zhi understood that there were not many people under Qianye Lan, so he needed to rely on players to patrol, and he was unable to completely control the palace, but instead left a gap for Xiao Zhi and the others to sneak in.
If it was guarded by King Qianye's guards, I'm afraid they would not have come in so easily.
Just approaching Qianyewu's Yeye Temple, an angry roar came from inside.
The sound was so loud that Xiao Zhi felt like he was going deaf. He missed the volume adjustment function in the era of keyboard games very much.
Then there was the sound of the building collapsing, and even the branches of the king tree under his feet trembled slightly, as if there was an angry giant beast in front of him.
Xiao Zhi and Qianye Wu looked at each other, and the two cautiously sneaked into the Eye Hall.
On the exquisite and spacious square, an unbelievably tall Wood Elf stood in it, almost as tall as the palace. Compared to him, the nearby trees were as miniature as toys.
Compared with the wood elves, who are close to humans in appearance, but have incorporated some plant characteristics to varying degrees, he looks more like a big ferocious octopus. The big octopus-like Wood Spirit raised its thick roots and slapped the ground, smashing the originally beautiful stone bricks into debris.
From the looks of it, he was responsible for the damage just now.
Xiao Zhi was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "What the hell is this? Do you also conduct biochemical experiments?"
Qianye Wu whispered, "He is Qianye Lan."
Xiao Zhi asked with a question mark: "...Aren't you brothers? Why do you look different?"
Qianye Wu was very puzzled by Xiao Zhi's question: "Isn't it normal for brothers to look different?"
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Does this really fall within the scope of how normal brothers look different? !
Why is he as strong as a mountain, but you are a small vegetable? ! Can't the nutrition of the two of you be balanced
Xiao Zhi covered his head in pain, could it be that this is the task boss
In the era of keyboard online games, big bosses do not necessarily have high attack power, but in ZERO, the size of the bosses means that they really have corresponding force. Especially the boss with physical attack, it can be said that what you see is what you get, no deception.
Smaller bosses are not necessarily weaker, but larger ones tell you clearly—"You may die if I punch you."
Sure enough, there will be no easy hidden missions in the world. How to make this size? It can't be beaten at all, and the operation can't be done anymore.
Xiao Zhi sighed, life shouldn't ravage him like this, he's just a fragile and low-level weak little mage.
At this time, Qianye Lan's subordinates came to the square with a group of wood spirits.
The leader is a pink-haired, beautiful girl from the Wood Spirit Tribe, whose appearance is closer to that of a human race.
Her bun is dotted with flowers, which are not decorations, but as some varieties of the wood spirit race originally bloomed.
Although the girl was being held down by someone's arm, she still walked at a leisurely pace, and she didn't see the fear of the prisoners shrinking back at all.
Qianye Wu suddenly became nervous: "Yina! She is my chief female officer, what does Qianye Lan want to do to her?"
He looked at the people who were being brought out one after another behind Yi Na: "Holly, Celine, Gula...everyone has been arrested..."
Qianye Lan looked at Qianyewu's attendant who was sent in front of her: "Tell me, where is Qianyewu?"
There was silence, and no one chose to betray Qianye Wu in the face of Qianye Lan's persecution.
Qianye Lan turned to Yi Na who was the leader again: "Say, then you don't have to die."
Ina looked at him calmly and remained silent.
Qianye Lan waved the vine whip in her hand, and lashed towards Yi Na's side fiercely.
The ground instantly shattered, gravel splashed everywhere, some fell on Yi Na's clothes, and some scratched her skin and cheeks.
A piece of gravel broke Yi Na's bun, causing her hair to fall down, looking a little embarrassed.
Qianye Lan said in a sinister tone: "Don't you find it ridiculous to be loyal to a useless guy? Tell me his whereabouts, and I can make you my subordinate. You can only farm with him if you follow him. But follow me, and you may witness the most prosperous moment of Qianye Kingdom."
Ina spoke, her tone still calm: "Do you know why His Royal Highness wants to cultivate Shanama?"
Qianye Lan smiled disdainfully: "Who knows what he wants to play?"
Ina said: “A kind of food called Huaxia cuisine came from the Athanasi people and gradually became famous in the mainland, but the seasonings required for Huaxia cuisine are scarce on the Dazemen subcontinent, and every portion is eaten. sold at a very high price.”
"Accidentally, His Highness discovered a plant called Shanama. This plant can perfectly replace the green onions needed in Chinese cuisine, and is very suitable for cultivation in Chiba."
Qianye Lan was impatient: "So, you want to say that he is an agricultural genius? It's ridiculous, since he wants to farm, don't occupy the position of the crown prince! I can give him a piece of land and let him grow it happily."
Yi Na smiled instead: "You want to be the crown prince, but why don't you know anything about people's livelihood?"
Qianye Lan took a deep breath, his eyes were already shining dangerously, he stared at Yi Na, tightly clenched the whip in his hand, a deep coercion emanated from his body.
Ina is not afraid: "Although Chiba is rich in products, it does not have any irreplaceable scarce resources. It has never had an advantage in foreign trade, and the price is often lowered by the demand side. The technology for cultivating Shanama is only available in Chiba. , if other Chinese spices can be cultivated at the same time, it will bring huge benefits to Chiba."
Qianye Lan seemed to be watching a joke: "The king is supreme, how can you waste time on such trivial matters? You should be a conqueror and expand Chiba's territory. The benefits of plunder will be much higher than the development of trade."
Yi Na looked at him, and every word was resounding: "And then let the wood spirit warriors sacrifice for your personal ambition? Do you know how many families will be broken because of war? How will a war consume national strength? Are you really clear? Qianye Lan, you are not worthy to be a king!"
Qianye Lan was furious, this tiny female official dared to speak to him like this!
Dare to say that he is not worthy to be king!
He raised his hand high, he wanted to kill this bold and presumptuous guy directly.
Several servants who were suppressed by the side suddenly rushed out. They stood in front of Yi Na and tried to stop the attack.
But Qianye Lan's size was far larger than them, almost in an instant, all the servants were sent flying, and they fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Qianye Lan stared at Yi Na with cold eyes, and he ordered: "Kill them all."
Qianye Wuhuo stood up: "No, I have to go out, I can't let him hurt everyone."
Xiao Zhi pressed his shoulder: "Don't be impulsive, can you beat him?"
Qianyewu shook his head: "I can't beat it, but I can't just sit back and watch my subordinates sacrifice for me and remain indifferent."
He said to Xiao Zhi: "I'll try to hold him back with words, Seventh Brother, can you help me send a signal to my father?"
Xiao Zhi also received a system prompt: "Would you like to accept the hidden mission 'Messaging King Qianye'?"
He accepted without hesitation.
Xiao Zhi didn't talk nonsense: "How to do it?"
Qianyewu said quickly: "The innermost part on the left is my room. There is a dark room under my bed. There is a white flower in it. You only need to tear off a petal, and the king will know. But there must be There are guards, Seventh Brother, you have to be careful."
Qianyewu: "Let it go, let it go, don't worry, although Qianyelan is thick and long, I won't be afraid at all..."
But he was so frightened that even the leaves on his head shrank back.
Maybe she also realized that she looked too cowardly, so Qianyewu tidied up the small leaves on the top of her head, took a deep breath to make herself look calmer.
Xiao Zhi rubbed his head: "Come on, trust me."
Qianyewu nodded: "Yes."
Taking one last look at Xiao Zhi, Qianye Wu stepped out with her short legs.
He is only less than one-thousandth of the volume of Qianyelan, and there are funny plant ash and soil from the vegetable field on his body.
But his steps are very firm, he knows that there are subordinates who need his rescue ahead, and he cannot retreat.
The author has something to say: Chiba Lan: Who else is thicker and longer than me!
Qianyewu: Can't compare to...
Ash: How about...
Xiao Zhi: Cut it for him.
