Chapter 5: Cold(1/3)
The monkey jumped between ancient buildings, leaving a trail of traces along the way that only Su Xiao, Bu Bu Wang and Ba Ha could see.
Although Yun Monkey is a bit naughty, as a noble among monkeys, he is fundamentally different from the aggressive monkey like the macaque. After eating Yu Zhimi, he began to lead the way responsibly.
However, because this little guy is a little naughty, the path to find the fragments of the Soul-Breaking Shadow Stone will most likely not be a straight line, but it will be an S-shape at most, and there will be no such deceptive situation as a Z-shaped route.
In the ancient capital, Su Xiao followed the golden footprints left by the monkeys. On the spaceship, he saw a simple map of this continent. If he traveled north, he would leave the "Yada Ancient Capital" and reach the adjacent "Yada Ancient Capital".
"Cold Cemetery".
If "Ada Ancient Capital" is the habitat of the Vine Clan, then "Cold Cemetery" is the territory of the Ghost Clan.
The information is too limited. Su Xiao's understanding of the ghost clan can only rely on part of the information given in the world introduction. For example, the ghost clan has inherited the darkness of the Yadar people.
In this world, as a neutral force, the Vine Clan's combat power should not be very prominent. Although the ancient capital is located in the middle, there are few resources here. This is the notarization area after the tree world has been opened.
Every time the participants entered the Shusheng World, they almost turned the "Yada Ancient Capital" upside down, but the "Cold Cemetery" was different. It was outside the notarization area, and there had been no outsiders for maybe thousands of years, or even longer.
The land that the explorer sets foot on is more dangerous, but it also represents more opportunities.
When Su Xiao was thinking like this, the cry of Bubo Wang came. Hearing the sound and looking around, Bubo Wang looked slightly depressed.
After the previous struggle for supplies began, Bubo Wang did not participate and instead went after the plane. Judging from its expression, things did not go smoothly.
"They didn't agree?"
"Woof."
Bubuwang raised his head.
"Why did you refuse? Tell me the exact words."
"Woof woof woof woof..."
"?"
Ona, who was standing aside, looked at Su Xiao and Bu Boo Wang in the exchange. She was very surprised and confused. She didn't understand any of Bu Boo Wang's screams. She didn't know how Su Xiao understood it.
"Yeah."
"Woof woof woof!"
"Well, I'll be there soon."
Lidya Su nodded while speaking.
"Woof."
"Ah this~"
Ona, who had been listening carefully, felt that she was lonely. This 'conspiracy in person' made her and Wood lose their temper at all.
"You two, let's follow the monkey's footprints first, and my boss will come later."
Baha opened his mouth, and Su Xiao quickly disappeared from the sight of Ona and Wood.
…
Two hours later, above a valley on the south side of the ancient capital, an old-fashioned airplane parked on the rocky runway above.
In the valley, the waterfall falls, white air rises from the pool below, and the entire valley is a scene of green water and green mountains, a scene of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers.
Su Xiao stopped on the rock platform above the valley, seeming to sense his arrival. A humanoid being in the valley who looked like an alien cast a look. Its oval head was disproportionate to the body, and its eyes were unexpectedly large.
, thin arms and thin legs.
"Here we go again, how many times do I have to repeat this to you? I am a neutral person notarized by the Void Tree and will not take sides."
The big-headed man said, if it was before meeting Caesar, Su Xiao might still reluctantly believe this. Caesar's guy is often the quartermaster of the Void Tree + Reincarnation Paradise, but that guy's "hair is too good to pull out the swallow"
His unique skills are unforgettable for a lifetime.
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, a warning message appeared.
[Warning (Tree of the Void): Immediately stop negotiating with special neutral units in this world. If you ignore this warning, your credibility will be greatly reduced...]
After checking the content of the warning, Su Xiao felt a lot more at ease. If it was a direct punishment mechanism, he would turn around and leave. The majesty of the Void Tree still cannot be touched. As for the warning, ignore it.
"You have been warned, so..."
The big-headed man stopped mid-sentence. It used its own authority to check Su Xiao's credibility. That credibility was already so low that it represented a lot of things.
"My friend, it's not necessary. It's really not necessary. You are in a killing competition. I am a neutral unit running errands. I can't do anything for you."
The big-headed man's attitude has changed a lot. Su Xiao, who has low credibility, said that he would draw a knife and kill him. The big-headed man estimated that the other party could do this. He is a neutral unit located inside the notary area. In a sense,
In other words, he is a different kind of participant in the war. It’s just that many people can’t figure out this problem.
Su Xiao didn't think about this at first. It wasn't until he participated in the battle of the strongest and reached a deal with Mouse in an obscure way that he understood this concept.
If the big-headed person is a neutral unit who leaves after placing the supply boxes, it is best not to have contact with the other party. However, if the other party finishes placing the supply boxes, then stays in a secret place in the notary area, waiting for the subsequent delivery of the supply boxes.
, then you can operate from it.
The big-headed man, no, the neutral person who called himself Paul looked helpless. Apparently, he had watched a certain movie and felt that he looked similar to the protagonist in the movie.
Su Xiao took out a price tag, took out a small bottle, rolled the small bottle in the price tag, and threw it to Paul.
"I am a neutral unit, it is impossible to capture..."
Halfway through Paul's words, he raised his hand and grabbed the price tag rolled into a paper tube. His expression looked slightly strange.
"Bring him here, or throw away the price tag in your hand."
After leaving these words behind, Su Xiao turned around and left. His credibility was declining. He estimated that if he continued to negotiate, there was a high probability that the punishment mechanism would be directly triggered.
Su Xiao can confirm that Paul has a probability of more than 70%, that he is a neutral unit that can negotiate and cooperate, and that he is the type certified by the Void Tree. At the moment, he has not found the correct way to open it, so of course it is a warning prompt.
To use a game metaphor, it is equivalent to a player who has just entered a new scene taking advantage of a fully open map to find an NPC that can only be negotiated in the later stages. This violates the "scene rules" but does not violate the "game rules".
Watching Su Xiao walk away, Paul poured out a very thin vial from the price tag rolled into a paper tube. He estimated that the power of space and time in it was at least 10 ounces.
"It's quite moral. No wonder. After all, he is the hunter of the madman's paradise."
Paul kicked a stone into the pool, and a few seconds later, a silly pilot with a hippopotamus head surfaced.
"Let's go and get to work."
"It's not yet...the second stage."
The head of the hippopotamus pilot sank, only the eyes were exposed, and the water surface was bubbling. It preferred to soak in the water.
"This is private work, let's go."
Paul took out his watch and looked at the time. If he went back quickly, there would be no mistake.
…
On the north side of the ancient capital of Yada, at the very edge.
Su Xiao followed the footsteps of the monkey and it didn't take long to catch up with Wood and others. In other words, it was Wood who suggested waiting here.
In Wood's view, Su Xiao is a very important 'teammate'. After entering the "cold cemetery", if he is in danger and is outnumbered, there will be multiple people sharing the firepower. It is commonly known as three people being chased by dogs.
Far less risk than two people being chased by a dog.
"Long wait."
Su Xiao exhaled white air. The further north he went, the lower the temperature became. The originally lush land was now barren of grass. There was a faint smell of corruption in the black soil. The cold fog made the front look foggy.
The visual distance does not exceed 50 meters.
"We are all friends, don't be so polite. If you don't come, how can we advance to the cold cemetery?"
Wood said with a smile.
"..."
Lidya Su didn't answer and just continued to move forward.
Tu tu tu tu ~
"Huh? What's the sound?"
Ona frowned slightly and looked around.
Tu tu tu tu ~
"Bubu, what's wrong with you?"
Ona found the source of the sound, which was the trembling sound of Boo Boo Wang's hind legs. Because the trembling was too fast, it made a sound like a small electric motor.
"It's okay, it's just a little cold."
Baha smiled evilly. Bubu Wang, who was hiding behind Su Xiao's legs, was so angry that he wanted to bite Baha, but he couldn't do it. Now that he was more than 3 meters away from Su Xiao, he would lose his sense of security. The scene around him,
If a ghost doesn't appear, BuBoWang will stand on his head and urinate and drink it himself!
After a brief discussion, the team formed a formation, with Su Xiao at the front as a melee fighter, followed by Bubu Wang, Baha, Ona paying attention to the left and rear, and Wood paying attention to the right and rear.
The cold fog drifted away, and apart from the abnormally dark ground, there were no trees or even grass around, and it was getting colder.
This kind of cold is not simply a low temperature, but a cold that goes deep into the bones and soul.
To be continued...
