After Cha Bai put on the clothes Li Nuo bought, the two left the room together.

"Where to go?" Cha Bai asked.

Li Nuo concentrated on looking at the footprints of his rubber shoes on the ground and said, "Just follow me."

They were walking on the road leading to the countryside, one wearing a mask and holding an umbrella, the other wearing a long skirt and a headscarf.

Because the attention to the styling was too high, they did not communicate with each other and walked toward the suburbs in silence.

At this time, behind them, Solna and two people appeared in front of James' empty room, watching Li Nuo and Cha Bai leaving.

"Follow them."

A person behind Solna licked his lips, with endless greed in his eyes, "That woman's blood should be very good."

Solna smiled and touched the beard on his lips.

"I hope you like this game."

…

In less than ten minutes, Pound Venis walked out.

Along the way, Li Nuo noticed that the outline of James's footprints was relatively shallow, indicating that he had been away from here for at least a day.

Now Li Nuo can only pray that James will not die in the wild, otherwise he will not be able to complete the side mission.

"Able to speak..."

Li Nuo glanced back at Xiadu behind him. There was a forest in front of him, and speaking here would not attract anyone's attention.

"Not the time."

Chabai said coldly, pointing to the woods ahead.

Several wild wolves crawled toward them hungrily.

It was a bit strange that there were wild wolves in the forest before he arrived. Li Nuo cursed and took off his iron umbrella to reveal his walking stick, carried it on his shoulder and walked towards the group of wild wolves.

A minute later, the ground was covered with the corpses of the seven wolves. Just as Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a low roar coming from the forest.

"besides?"

Suddenly a bear jumped out of the woods. Li Nuo had foreseen the danger in advance and had already prepared his cane to poke the girl in the eyes.

But suddenly there was a numb air current in the air, and then a blue lightning exploded out of thin air, and a muffled sound knocked the bear to the ground.

Li Nuo was startled by the sudden thunder. His first reaction was that God was going to strike him. He hurriedly supported the ground with his cane. He looked back at Cha Bai and saw the sizzling light on her palms.

"Cha Bai, could you please say hello again?"

"become."

Cha Bai walked forward, looking a little confused, "Why did these beasts stumble and appear here before entering the woods?"

"Have you turned on [Focuser]?" Li Nuo asked.

After Chabai heard this, he understood that one of the effects of [Focuser] is to [increase the chance of encountering high-strength enemies].

But this wolf and bear are actually not that strong... Li Nuo's eyes lit up, his mind became clear, and he understood the true meaning of this effect.

"The probability of encountering high-intensity enemies refers to the strongest enemies that can appear in the area. There are no people around here and there are few wild beasts, so it is not surprising that the ones with the highest intensity are wolves and bears."

Li Nuo looked at Cha Bai, took off his mask and revealed his longing eyes, "Cha Bai...can you turn off your [identity] temporarily..."

Cha Bai was stunned, then buried his head and said, "But I can't cry..."

"If you don't cry now, we will have to cry for a while. Who knows what monsters and monsters are hiding in this forest."

Cha Bai frowned, trying to work up his emotions. After a moment, he shook his head, then stepped forward and said, "One step is a step, I'll try my best."

Li Nuo sighed deeply and followed her into the forest, making a plan to take onions with him wherever he went from now on.

When the two first entered the woods, apart from James's footprints on the ground, there were only rustling sounds from the branches and leaves on the trees and shrubs...

"Coming."

Cha Bai responded with a cold look in his eyes, and tore open a slit in his long skirt, revealing her white legs and the pair of [Kung Fu Shoes].

Li Nuo frowned and half-smiled, "With your [identity], you really don't know how to complain."

In an instant, birds flew out of the woods, and a low roar that did not belong to humans slowly came from the depths of the forest. The road to the sky where it was difficult to find James in 9981 had been opened.

Dangerous creatures that don't know where to live in the forest are leaving their nests, attracted by the inexplicable hatred in the distance, and starting to move towards the direction of Li Nuo and Cha Bai.

Nearly an hour later, the two walked out of the woods.

Li Nuo was holding the head of a blood demon in his hand, covered in blood, and holding an empty wine bottle in his other hand. He burped and looked at the tea behind him.

"We're here."

Cha Bai moved her wrists. The clothes she had just bought were torn and torn, and her slender waist was exposed. Her fair skin was covered in dust and mud, and her shoes were printed with the blood of an unknown monster.

"You've become stronger."

Cha Bai praised, then turned his palm backwards, and then a lightning strike struck down, and a ghoul hiding in the forest fell to the ground with smoke coming from its body.

Li Nuo made a rough calculation, 23 crab spiders, 15 corrosive demons, 10 ghouls, 17 brave bandits, 2 forest banshees, 1 katakarn, 2 blood demons, 6

Gliding lizard.

These were all the species encountered in just one hour. If Cha Bai hadn't been by his side, Li Nuo would have lost half of his life in the forest, but that was wrong. If he was the only one, he wouldn't be able to encounter these ghosts blocking his way.

I have to lament that Chabai's [Focuser] is a death-killing skill, with a full-screen taunt that ranges for several miles. If the rule of "Endless Corridor" is to gain experience points by killing monsters, then just hide in the woods and fight for three days and three days.

At night, the last time I go out is to live a well-off life.

"Let's go quickly." Li Nuo followed the footprints and ran towards the village in front of him. He turned his head and said, "If you don't walk for a while, it might be difficult to deal with it."

Cha Bai looked at the forest behind him expressionlessly, "Can't we just kill him?"

"No, when I say it's difficult, I really mean it's difficult."

Li Nuo was worried that Chabai's ability would attract the deer-headed spirit. That grandson was really not a good thing. Even though Chabai was around, the skin of the deer-headed spirit was just a layer of dry and cracked bark. According to the properties of a certain game

Restraint setting, grass type restrains electric type.

Li Nuo and Cha Bai walked towards the village and saw the sign standing at the entrance of the village.

"Cape Village".

"This is the village where the gryphon hunting mission is taking place."

Li Nuo murmured, walking into the village along the footprints, and came to a dilapidated house. Boards were nailed on the windows, and vines covered the walls along the roof. If it weren't for the guidance of the footprints, who would

My first impression was that it was just an abandoned house.

"What on earth are you here for?" Cha Bai asked. She still didn't know what Li Nuo's so-called "business trip" meant.

"Kill people and do branch plots."

Li Nuo knocked on the door twice and waited for a moment but there was no response.

"Knocking on the door after killing someone?" Cha Bai asked curiously.

Li Nuo raised his cane and said, "Gentleman."

Then he took out a piece of iron wire and looked around. Seeing that there were no villagers here, he inserted the iron wire into the keyhole under the door handle and used [Thief] to unlock the door.

A gentleman and a door-sliding lock picker, the two of them together are not inconsistent at all.

The moment they pushed the door open, the two of them raised their arms almost at the same time, and they both caught a flying crossbow arrow.

"stab in the back?"

A figure squatted on the ground inside the house, holding a crossbow and facing the door.

The room was dark, but Li Nuo's visual ability could clearly see that the man looked embarrassed, with a horrified and helpless look on his face.

"James?"

Li Nuo dropped his crossbow and walked towards him.

"Don't come here!"

James exclaimed while changing the crossbow arrows unfamiliarly.

Li Nuo took hold of the crossbow and snatched it from James's weak hands.

"Let's talk." Throwing the crossbow on the ground, Li Nuo took out the butler's letter, handed it to James, and said, "Do you know the person who wrote the letter?"

James took the letter, looked at Li Nuo timidly, and slowly moved closer to the door, looking at the words on the letter with the light.

"Al..."

James read the name of the dead butler and held the letter against his chest.

"Great... I thought I would never hear from him again..."

After a few seconds, he raised his head and lowered his guard, "Why is Al's letter in your hands?"

Li Nuo thought for a while, but in order to prevent this gentleman from losing control of his emotions, he couldn't tell the truth.

"I was friends with him in Novigrad. There were some problems with the transportation lines recently, so he asked me to bring him here."

"No wonder you know where Al and I used to live." James opened the letter and looked at it again, and asked: "How is it? How is his life recently? Did he say when he would come back?"

Looking at him, Li Nuo cursed, if you weren't both of the same sex, this would really be a touching love story.

"Very good, I didn't say anything." Li Nuo responded simply, then looked at the crossbow arrows on the ground and said, "You seem to be in some trouble."

"I was rude just now..." James bowed and apologized, "I did run into some trouble, but it's not something you can solve."

"You can tell me, just in case. After all, Al and I have known each other."

"I'm being hunted."

"The reason?" Li Nuo asked.

James looked hesitant, "This..."

Li Nuo glanced at Cha Bai who was outside the house, smiled and said, "James, did you just see the skills of the two of us?"

James nodded, "Yes, very impressive."

"We will help you." Li Nuo paused and said word by word: "Because we are friends with Mr. Al."

The word "friend" was emphasized by Li Nuo. James began to waver and sighed: "I cheated Mr. Jelalai of his goods..."

Jeralai... seems to be the name of the employer, Li Nuo thought.

"That shipment was a truckload of wine barrels. I originally thought they were fine spirits, but I didn't expect the barrels contained blood. But I didn't understand why he would ask for blood. Later I heard that Jelalai

They are hiring someone to hunt me down. Although I have not seen the killer, I still hid here for safety."

James looked remorseful when he said this, "I just want to make more money so that I can bring Al back quickly and give him a better life."

Li Nuo pursed his lips. He really didn't want to hear about Love of the Cut Sleeve, so he interrupted: "Well...so, how can we help you?"

"Protect me and let me go to the port and take a boat to Novigrad. I want to find Al."

"What's the advantage? Even if we are friends, we can't do it for nothing." Li Nuo asked.

"Benefits..." James lowered his head and thought.

"Li Nuo."

Suddenly Cha Bai, who had not spoken for a long time, shouted. Li Nuo turned his head and his expression suddenly changed.

Cha Bai held a dagger in front of his neck.

There were three men standing behind her. Among them, the man holding the dagger was familiar to Li Nuo. He was Solna with the mustache.

"Friends, I'm following you all the way." Solna showed a sinister smile.

Li Nuo said in a deep voice: "Why do I always feel like I'm being followed? At first I thought it was a monster in the forest, but I didn't expect it was you..."

Li Nuo slowly raised his head and said, "What's the purpose?"

Solna held Chabai's waist with one hand and led her into the house. Following the other two people behind him, they also entered the house. The door was closed, and the room was invaded by darkness.

Solna looked at Li Nuo and smiled: "The masked butcher?"

Li Nuo frowned, how could this guy know his wanted identity?

"The mask has been changed, but the cane will not change. I am very knowledgeable about weapons. From the first time you saw this cane when you left the examination room, I knew that this was not an ordinary item."

Li Nuo smiled and said, "You are overthinking. Who would use a stick as a weapon?"

Solna laughed out loud and said: "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but it doesn't matter. Even if you're not that guy, there's still another body. If you are, I can make a lot of money. Isn't that great?

?”

"A large amount of money?"

"Yes, I heard the news yesterday that the black market has opened up a new market, and there is a million-dollar reward for the Masked Butcher's head."

"Well..." Li Nuo stared at the three uninvited guests in silence.

Solna pinched Cha Bai's soft waist and said with a sigh: "It's just a pity that such a good woman will have her blood sucked out soon."

"It seems like there are people among them who are dealing with vampires?" Li Nuo said.

The two people behind Solna smiled solemnly. Although they did not speak, their impatient eyes already showed their identities.

Li Nuo lowered his head and sighed, "Don't you have enough blood supply? Why do you still need to go out to suck blood?"

Solna said: "Such a small amount of blood cannot supply my two friends, and it seems you know a lot?"

At this time, the person behind Solna reached out and grabbed Chabai's shoulders, stared at her neck, and said in an impatient and urgent tone: "Solna, go kill that guy, I can't bear it anymore."

.”

"Then I'm sorry." Solna faced Li Nuo, put away the dagger and smiled solemnly, "You have to die here today, but I will put the bounty on James' head in front of your grave."

Li Nuo let out a sigh of relief and said, "Solna, didn't you see those monsters dead in the woods on the way with us?"

"What are you talking about? We don't need to follow you closely. We can tell that your destination is Cape Village if we know the direction. What kind of monster died in the forest?"

"No wonder you are so rash." Li Nuo looked at Cha Bai, "Okay, I've finished asking."

A numbing magnetic field suddenly appeared around Cha Bai.

Solna and others all looked frightened and immediately reacted and retreated.

Bang!

There was an explosion, and the lightning scattered in all directions, and only the brownish-white calf was wrapped with blue electric light. She looked at Li Nuo with a calm expression.
Chapter completed!
