Chapter 1997 Hiding
Between the sky and the earth, the patter of black rain seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and soon a thick white mist formed, floating like a vast sea of clouds in the land of black rain. The area adds a bit of mystery and mistiness to it.
A huge monster was leisurely walking through the white mist at this moment, constantly scanning and searching around.
It is completely black and looks a bit like a sheep, but it has sharp claws on its feet, four pitch-black and sharp black horns on its head, three eyes and a pair of condensed black feathers. With wings and a long thin tail, it walked gracefully and silently in the land of black rain, as if stepping on clouds without ever touching the ground.
But if you look carefully, there are still many black grasses and forests on the ground that were trampled into black mud by this monster and were unable to recover.
Ji Xiaoyan followed Di Xiao, leading countless Qingcheng guards and some adventurers through the cave by the faint light of fire. The atmosphere was inexplicably mysterious and tense.
The adventurers didn’t know what was happening outside the cave. They were extremely excited following the team, thinking that Ji Xiaoyan and the others had discovered some treasure or something. However, when they heard the front of the team calling for a halt, everyone was told After everyone rested on the spot, any adventurers immediately Jie Di looked around and shouted loudly to Ji Xiaoyan: "City Master Ji, are there any treasures here that we need to help dig out? Where do we start?"
Ji Xiaoyan is a little confused. He looked at the adventurers funny and was speechless.
"What treasure! I brought you here just to avoid danger!" As soon as Di Xiao heard the words of the adventurers, he glared at them and shouted, "You'd better stop talking. If The monsters are here, and not only will you die, but we will also be harmed!”
“Aren’t there just those black rain monsters here, Ji? The city lord also killed a few and asked us to clean up the bodies!”
When some players heard what Di Xiao said, they immediately smiled nonchalantly and said, "And didn't I hear that those black rain monsters can only move in the black rain? We are hiding in the cave, and they can't come in at all. What's the danger?"
"You adventurers know nothing!" When Di Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but get angry. Risking, he glared at the adventurers several times, then gritted his teeth and said: "If I had known earlier, I should have let all you adventurers go out and have a look. No, I should have locked you all out of the cave. Waiting to be swallowed up by that monster!"
The players looked at Di Xiao and then at Ji Xiaoyan with puzzled faces.
"There is indeed a monster as big as a mountain appearing outside. We are here to hide from it." Ji Xiaoyan watched as countless adventurers turned their attention to him. , quickly nodded on the other side, and agreed with Di Xiao's words, and said to everyone: "We guess that the monster may be out looking for food, so everyone's voices are lower. , please come back if you have any questions after it leaves.”
The players all nodded obediently, looking very satisfied with Ji Xiaoyan’s explanation. Di Xiao couldn’t help but look at it. Gritting his teeth unhappily, he whispered to Ji Xiaoyan: "City Lord Ji, after we leave the Land of Black Rain, will we still have to live with these adventurers in the future?"
"There are naturally many adventurers in the outside world!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded, thought for a while, and said to Di Xiao: "Young Master Di Xiao is mainly accustomed to it! In fact, adventurers are similar to us, and some of them are also kind-hearted. There are also ruthless people It’s extremely evil. It just depends on what kind of adventurers you will meet in the future, Young Master Di Xiao!”
“I don’t think there are any good people among this group of adventurers!” Di Xiao suddenly turned away! He curled his lips and whispered to Ji Xiaoyan.
"That's because, Young Master Di Xiao, you just don't have time to contact them!" Ji Xiaoyan shook his head and said to Di Xiao: "Among these adventurers, there are adventurers who are good friends to me. ! They can even help me with anything without any conditions! Does Young Master Di Xiao feel bad about such a friend? "
Di Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked at Ji Xiaoyan in surprise, and couldn't help but cast his eyes on the dark group. In the end, the adventurers didn't say another word.
The cave soon fell into silence. Everyone was listening vigilantly, but it seemed as if nothing happened, it was just a false alarm.
"Do you want to go out and see the situation? Are you sure that the monster has gone?" Di Xiao couldn't help but asked Ji Xiaoyan quietly, and then said: "According to what we saw, the monster is still moving at the same speed. Soon, if you calculate it this way, it should have passed us, right?"
"If we go out and take a look, do you have an exit from the Orcs?" Ji Xiaoyan frowned and faced it. Di Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Yes! If not, how could we, the Linshou Clan, enter and exit the cave before it was opened?" Di Xiao rolled his eyes and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "We have several caves. The exits are very hidden. If you go out to check, there shouldn't be any problem."
"Okay, let's go check out the situation." Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while. He nodded and asked Di Xiao: "Young Master Di Xiao, do you think it is us from Qingcheng who will send people to see it, or you, the Linshou Clan, to go out and have a look?"
"Of course it is us, the Linshou Clan! You guys?" We can't find the way!" Di Xiao said to Ji Xiaoyan matter-of-factly, and then said after thinking: "But, City Lord Ji, do you think you can let some of your adventurers join us?"
"Will the adventurer follow you?" Ji Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment and looked at Di Xiao with some doubts. She didn't understand why he thought of taking the adventurer with him!
“Those adventurers are not afraid of death and can be resurrected, aren’t they? Take them out, and if there is any trouble, let them sacrifice themselves!” Di Xiao said a little vaguely, but what he wanted to express Ji Xiaoyan understood the meaning very clearly.
"Then let me ask if anyone is willing!" Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while, nodded and said to Di Xiao: "What Young Master Di Xiao said is indeed very reasonable. If anything happens, they adventurers If it can save the lives of our natives, it will be a good deal."
Di Xiao nodded with a smile and looked at the group of adventurers sitting cross-legged in the corner of the cave with bright eyes. What is Li thinking.
As soon as the agent Xiaoyan mentioned the matter of asking players to follow Di Xiao to see the big monster, countless adventurers immediately expressed their willingness to follow.
Ji Xiaoyan looked at Di Xiao with inexplicable relief and pride, and quickly informed everyone of the danger and some possible situations.
"City Lord Ji, aren't we following you to the Land of Black Rain just to risk our lives and return to Qingcheng to earn contribution points? We are mentally prepared for these things, as long as you don't wait for us to die and return to Qingcheng. , just don’t give us any contribution points in the end!" The players said to Ji Xiaoyan with a big smile on their faces, and then actively asked to follow Di Xiao. It would be best if they could die and return to Qingcheng directly after completing the mission! go!
After all, they have been bored in the cave in the Land of Black Rain for a few days. Many people feel a little bored and want to go back to the crowd again. What’s more, the big The umbrellas in the hands of some players have been successfully handed over to Xingdila and the others. Apart from following Ji Xiaoyan and the others to kill the black rain monsters and collect the monster's corpses, there seems to be nothing they can do if they stay. .
Ji Xiaoyan looked at the players silently, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"Let's do this." Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while and said to everyone: "Anyone who is willing to follow the Linshou tribe to check the situation outside. If everything is safe, you can go back to Qingcheng after you come back. This mission will be considered completed. , of course, if you encounter an accident and go back, the mission is completed The degree is the same. There is only one thing. I hope you can do your best to protect the indigenous people when encountering an accident!"
"Don't worry, Lord Ji, we know this very well." The players said. Hearing Ji Xiaoyan's words, he immediately nodded excitedly.
After all, they have to die and return to Qingcheng. If you can save some aboriginal NPCs and maybe earn more contribution points, why not do it? Ji Xiaoyan is not a stingy city lord!
Ji Xiaoyan nodded, with a smile on his face, and then continued: "Those who are willing to go can voluntarily get out of the queue and go to the side to queue up. Those who are not willing to go can stay where they are and wait. Let’s talk about it when we want to go back!”
The players nodded and took action immediately.
Di Xiao was dumbfounded as most of the adventurers stood aside and said they wanted to go out with them. He frowned and waved to Ji Xiaoyan and said, "City Lord Ji, we are just going out for a look! What's the use?" Got so many adventurers?”
“It’s okay, just think of them as protecting you!” Ji Xiaoyan smiled, randomly assigned a few adventurers as managers, and then motioned to Di Xiao to lead him. People leave.
Di Xiao glared at Ji Xiaoyan several times with a depressed expression, and then muttered in a low voice: "There are more adventurers than we have monsters, so how can we care?"
< br>Ji Xiaoyan smiled and said nothing, waving goodbye to the many adventurers. After watching Di Xiao take everyone away, he sat down next to Thunder Kitten with a relaxed expression. He asked with some curiosity: "Kitten, aren't you going back?"
"You haven't gone back yet, what should I do if I go back?" Thunder Kitten said to Ji Xiaoyan matter-of-factly, "Besides. , Nightmare and my dad will also send umbrellas in soon, I will just wait for them here, there is no need to sacrifice experience to come back.”
"Aren't you bored? I think the reason why many people want to go back is that they feel a little bored staying in the cave every day." Ji Xiaoyan looked at Thunder Kitten in confusion and asked.
"What's the point of being boring! Why don't you just log off and take a rest when you have nothing to do?" Thunder Kitten smiled with relief. He glanced at the players around him and then whispered to him. Looking at Ji Xiaoyan, he said: "You don't know, we didn't have anything to do when we got here. We didn't know it was us. The player in the team took the initiative and posted pictures on the forum, exposing some scenes of the Black Rain Land. Now there are many jealous players on the forum who want to join you! ”
Ji Xiaoyan looked at Thunder Kitten in surprise, then looked down at his hands, feeling slightly disappointed.
She knows the function of the player forum.
But after she became an NPC, this function open to players could no longer be used. If she really wanted to see, she could only open the back door through the light when the light appeared!
This is probably part of what she lost after becoming an NPC.
Thunder Kitty didn't know this and kept whispering to Ji Xiaoyan about various things on the forum, making her laugh.
At this moment, Cenarion, who had been hiding silently in the corner of the cave, suddenly raised his head and looked nervously into the cave. He couldn't help but stretch out his claws to look at the cave. He dialed a Qingcheng guard next to him. Looking at his confused eyes, he immediately pointed at Ji Xiaoyan and motioned for him to call him over.
The guards of Qing City nodded quickly and walked to Ji Xiaoyan's side in a few steps. After waiting for Thunder Kitten to finish speaking, he quickly spoke in a low voice: "Lord City Lord, Lord Cenarion seems to have something to do. Please ask me. It’s over!”
Ji Xiaoyan glanced in the direction of Cenarion with some surprise. Looking at its uneasy and flickering eyes, he quickly stood up and said to Thunder Kitten: "Kitten, I'll go there first. Look! Something may be wrong with Cenarion."
Thunder Kitten nodded and waved to Ji Xiaoyan, telling her to hurry over.
“Let’s go!” Ji Xiaoyan nodded apologetically towards the Thunder Kitten, quickly ran to where Cenarion was sitting, raised his head and asked it: “Cenario, what’s wrong? "
At this moment, Cenarion did not dare to make any sound at all. His whole body was tense and he kept looking around anxiously. When he saw Ji Xiaoyan appeared, He immediately stretched out his paw and pointed in the direction behind him.
"What's wrong? Is there something?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at the black shadow suspiciously, raised his head and looked at Cenarion, looking at it tightly He closed his mouth and still didn't make a sound. Instead, he looked a little afraid. Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but swallowed and kept silent. After a moment, he immediately waved in the direction of Thunder Kitten, and then ordered to the Qingcheng guards beside him: "Let the elders of the Vine tribe lead everyone into the cave. The more hidden the better!"
The Qingcheng guards nodded quickly, turned around and ran towards the elders of the Vine Clan.
Thunder Kitten saw Ji Xiaoyan's movements and immediately ran over, stood in front of her and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Xiaoyan?"
Bowed to thank Mr. Young Nai for his precious monthly vote!
