Tear it! Suleman beheaded the strange puppet, and a familiar reminder came from his ear—

"Reminder: You have caused fatal damage to the Miraculous Puppet (Lv17), and the target is dead. This time it is a leapfrog kill."

"Reminder: You have obtained 620 experience points (leapfrog reward)"

"This is the third one." Suleman was not satisfied, and looked forward.

The empty carriage came into his eyes, the window was cracked, and the gray mist was surging like ink outside, but the difference was that the gray mist was slowly dissipating, and it would take a few minutes to recover without any accidents. up.

"The last end, let it run away."

It's a pity that although he killed the three-headed puppet earlier, although he was quick and ruthless, it took a little effort after all.

Let the fourth puppet seize the opportunity, and at the cost of sacrificing three companions, successfully escaped from the car window and disappeared on the snowy field.

Suleman felt a little regretful, thinking about the value of the other party—that was 600+ experience points!

You know, if the entire rescue mission he undertakes is completed perfectly, he will be rewarded with 2,500 experience points. When he kills the ghostly puppet, one puppet will have 600+ experience points. In terms of experience, it is no less than the reward of the entire mission.

call.

Contrary to Suleman's thoughts at this time, the three members of the investigation team in the carriage all heaved a sigh of relief.

Especially Annie, she almost slumped on the seat. In the previous battle, she was cursed by the soul tool and fired six shots. If Suleman hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The most important thing is that they didn't expect this attack at all, and there were 4 extraordinary beings! This is not in the restricted area, not those ancient ruins full of danger, but on the normal train route, which belongs to the normal area.

There are usually pilgrims who clean up from time to time. How could there be four extraordinary beings in this kind of place? No, counting the one that attacked the train at first, it has reached the fifth one! This number is enough for the pilgrims to come out. Annie and the others were very puzzled, but they could only suppress their doubts because there was one more important thing.

"Your Excellency, are you a pilgrim who came to support you?" Annie looked forward. The black-haired boy with a straight knife in his hand didn't look tall, nor did he look like a strong man. He was even a little delicate and beautiful.

But there was a sense of oppression on his body, which made Annie dare not neglect.

Most importantly, the long blade held by the other party was dripping with monster blood and fragments.

"No, I'm the bounty hunter who accepted the commission." Suleman glanced at them and explained: "Your telegram has arrived in Gangdian City, but there are no free manpower for the pilgrims, and the commission has been transferred to the Bounty Guild. That’s right, I’ll come next when I’m free.”

"Bounty Guild?" Morrison, who had finally regained his eyesight at this moment without opening his mouth, couldn't help but raise his voice.

Immediately, he realized that the tone was very unfriendly, with a hint of underestimating the other party, so he hurriedly corrected it: "I didn't mean that, sir, I mean yes. Yes."

Morrison said "yes" three times in a row, his whole face flushed purple. Fortunately, Eddie, who was hiding in the corner beside him, hurriedly interrupted: "What the captain means is that I didn't expect those patrollers to be as good as your actions." Quick, support is in place, Your Excellency, you are really a powerful and excellent bounty hunter."

"Yes, yes! That's what I mean!"

Morrison nodded hastily, turned his back to the shadow of the black-haired youth, and quietly gave a thumbs up to his team members.

Is this the difference between 'high emotional intelligence' and 'low emotional intelligence'? Suleman complained in his heart, he shook his head, didn't waste time on the details, and got straight to the point—

"Notify all passengers on board and count the number of people."

Counting the number of people Anne, Morrison and others were stunned for a second, and the next moment, Annie asked curiously, "Why do you want to count the number of people?"

Before Suleman explained, Morrison, as the captain of the investigation team, reacted first, and he immediately agreed: "Yes, we should count the number of passengers on the train, and prepare to leave the carriage and go to Gangdian City immediately!"

Annie and Eddie didn't ask any questions when they were about to leave. The captain said it so clearly, and they were not idiots, so they naturally understood the meaning of this sentence—right now, if they want to leave the carriage, it means walking on foot.

On the boundless snow field, go on foot to Gangdian City!

Of course, they were not too far away from Gangdian City, and it would only take half a day according to the footsteps of the Snow Nightmare Horse. If the horse speeded up, a few hours would be enough. For example, when Suleman received the news, he rushed all the way here, and it didn't take half a day at all.

But walking on foot is another matter, especially the passengers on the carriage, not only adults, but also older people, and weak children who need help. will be too fast.

There is also the threat of snowfields, which is the main reason why the investigation team did not leave immediately after the train crash, but waited for rescue. After all, from their point of view, this little trouble would not be a problem at all as long as the large army of pilgrims arrived.

If you can imagine it, the other party sent a person

Still a bounty hunter!

Fortunately, the opponent was strong enough, even better than Captain Morrison, which made the investigation team feel a little bit at ease, and subconsciously, they were willing to obey the opponent's orders.

certainly,

What really made them make up their minds was this encounter, in which they were unexpectedly attacked by unscrupulous puppets, all four of them! This made Morrison and others realize that staying in place is not a good choice, or even bad.

What's more, there is a frustrating puppet running away

It is not difficult to guarantee that the fish that slipped through the net will attract other companions.

It is the best choice to leave this place immediately and return to the civilized city-state on foot.

While Annie ran to the table and used the speaker to inform the people on board, Suleman exchanged information with Morrison, and learned the general history of the steam train accident, the identity of the other party, and where they came The reason for Steel Code City.

Coincidentally, he was also a member of the church who came for the northern auction. However, the investigators of the Church of Steam have always collected rare materials and fed them back to their own moving castle. This habit is different from investigators of other churches.

Investigators of different churches often have different responsibilities according to the characteristics of their churches. For example, for the Church of Nature who believes in the 'Goddess of Hunting', their investigators are better at hunting extraordinary life in the wild and obtaining 'spiritual materials' directly, rather than like the investigators of the Church of Steam, who like to collect materials everywhere and build things by themselves.

After Suleman exchanged information with the other party, Anne also notified her. At this time, Suleman was prompted—

"Reminder: Your plot event Rescue on the Snowfield (Lv15), the progress content has been updated, please ensure that the passengers on the train arrive at Gangdian City safely."

"Reminder: The number of people who arrive safely in the end will be used as the completion standard for the plot event."

Sure enough, the requirement of this mission was to take the passengers back to the civilized city-state. When he gave up the garrison and chose to walk back to the city, the content on the mission panel was updated immediately. Of course, the main reason is that Suleman knows that it is meaningless to stick to it. The pilgrims are busy catching 'wanted criminals', so they have time to manage them? If you were an ordinary person, you would stay where you were without the news you got at the party.

Who knows, what will happen next

After all, this place is considered to be close to the 'relict city'. Suleman looked out the window, the direction in which the frustrating puppet fled. He did not expect that the tiger skin he pulled at the party would also happen to meet it.

— That's 'The Lost City of Yatu'.

Suleman withdrew his gaze. He didn't intend to go in there. At the beginning, the information he disclosed to Ms. Heidi contained the main information of the Yatu ruined city, but it was a big trap, and whoever fell into it would be unlucky.

"It's time to go back."

Suleman was about to call the others and set off immediately to return.

Before that, though, he had one more thing to do.

After reading the panel silently, the next moment, a familiar light blue color appeared in front of Suleman's eyes. Under the character's attributes, the slot of experience value was particularly eye-catching, with nearly 2000 experience points.

This is the experience he needs to distribute, so that he can upgrade himself as soon as possible.

PS: The second update, please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
