Chapter 178: Preliminary Exploration of Jiecao Mountain
After lunch, Hou Kai put on the mask made by Xu Maomao and went to the teleportation point in Tianyang Imperial City with Mianma. From there, he teleported to a small town called Yemei Town. Along the way, he heard The most discussed thing among players is still about the bounty. This matter is currently in the limelight. When the Black Dragon Gang issued the announcement, it also caused such a search craze. It took a while for it to calm down. However, for Hou It has no influence on Kai. With Xu Maomao's mask disguise, others can't detect it. Except that he can't go home now, it's no different from before.
He and Mianma walked to a remote place outside the town and summoned Little Vampire and Little Meng. The two of them had been staying in the pet space since Nie Lanhui captured them, waiting for Hou Kai's call. The two little guys came from the pet space. The forms that came out were all their original forms, and they were in a fighting posture, "Hey, that bastard just hit the master's attention..." Xiao Meng even shouted out.
"Pfft," Hou Kai was immediately amused by the two little guys. He touched them both and said very gently, "I'm fine now. I made you worry."
"I thought there would be another fight, but it's so boring." Xiaomeng changed into a little girl again, jumped and fell on Hou Kai's back. The little vampire also wanted to change back to human form, "Little vampire, you stay In this form, we have to rush today,"
"Hey, where are we going," Xiaomeng asked curiously.
"A place where you can have fun fighting,"
"Hey, that's right, then go quickly,"
"Well," Hou Kai stretched out his hand and held her hand with a smile on his face. The two sat on the little vampire's back together. With a slight dragon roar, the little vampire accelerated and flew into the clouds, with his face leaning against Hou Kai. On their shoulders, the two of them didn't speak, they just watched the clouds drifting past them, "Hey, Akai, I feel very happy now,"
"Well, me too," Hou Kai asked unconsciously, looking at the gentle expression on his face, "before your soul appeared in front of me, you stayed there all the time."
I hesitated for a long time, "Well, I don't know, hehe~"
"Haha, I knew you would say that."
"But I know it's so warm and comfortable that you don't want to leave there,"
"Yeah, I'll go and see how warm and comfortable it is sometime," Hou Kai said with a smile.
"No, Akai, you are dead wherever you go. I don't want Akai to die," Mian Ma pouted and looked at him dissatisfied. Hou Kai touched her head and comforted her, "This It’s just a joke, and people will die one day. Isn’t birth, old age, illness and death a natural law?”
"But now Akai, you are still very young. Don't keep talking about death. Damn it. If you say it again, I will bite you."
It seems that Mian Ma is very taboo about the word death now. "Okay, I won't mention it. Come on, give me a smile," Hou Kai pinched her tender cheeks and made Mian Ma laugh.
………
"Major General Nie, thank you very much for upgrading the gang to level 3 this time. There are 20 million gold coins in this card, which is used to buy wine for Major General Nie," Nie Lanhui took the gold card handed over to him. "Heiyun Gang Leader, this is just a small matter. I will need more help from you in the future."
Black Cloud Feilong smiled and said, "That's for sure."
Nie Lanhui took a sip of wine and said, "It will take about half a year to reach the fifth level. You need to recruit more people and speed up the progress of the task. After reaching 80% of the requirements, leave the rest to me."
"I have to say, Major General Nie, your idea is really bold, even..."
Nie Lanhui stopped him from continuing, "It's fine if you know this and I know it, there's no need to say it out loud."
"Yes, come, let's have a drink for the sake of the future," Heiyun Feilong and Nie Lanhui raised their glasses and drank together. The two were drinking and chatting alone in the gang's study room, laughing from time to time.
Finally, as late at night approached, Hou Kai almost arrived at his destination, Jiechao Village. Using the bright moonlight to compare the terrain beneath him, he finally found a large mountain standing abruptly in the jungle. This should be his destination, Jiechao Mountain. I flew around in the air and observed the overall appearance of the mountain. There were dense trees. Because it was dark, I couldn't see the location of Jiechao Village, and there was a cliff on the north side of the mountain.
He drove this little vampire to fly to a place two thousand meters away from Jiecao Mountain and land.
Jiexao Village has been attacked by monsters all year round. Some smart monsters will definitely think of night attacks. But the village still exists, so it must have its own set of protective measures. If you fly over rashly on a vampire, it is likely to trigger traps and the like. Or being besieged, he didn't want anyone to be beaten into a jam before they reached the village, so he tried to land as far away from Jiecao Mountain as possible and walk over from the ground.
The first thing after landing is to use Wanderlust to set a teleportation point here. As more and more places are fixed, the effects of the Space Artifact Wanderlust will be reflected. After the fixing is completed, although I really want to check it out The surrounding monsters are of different levels, but it's really dark here, so you can't rashly light a fire to attract the attention of the moving monsters in the night.
"It's better to decisively give up the investigation." At this moment, Hou Kai heard sparse sounds coming from the bushes. He prepared his posture to enter the battle. With a few swishing sounds, he looked up and saw dozens of black figures. It passed over my head at a very fast speed. I wanted to throw it and explore it, but I didn't have time to react.
"Jungle Demon Leopard, level 50, HP 60,000, good at wood magic and melee attacks," Mianma's eyes with blue flames looked so bright in the dark night.
"Great, it was indeed the right choice to bring you here," Hou Kai patted her head and praised, enjoying Hou Kai's actions. "Looking at the whereabouts of these leopards, they should be going to Jiedao Mountain. Could it be They have to attack at night," Hou Kai thought, and he was very curious. If it was really a night attack, he really wanted to see how they did it.
"Let's follow and have a look." With a flick of his fingers, two golden flying talismans penetrated into his and Mian Ma's bodies. Hou Kai held Mian Ma's hand and flew over the woods. Mian Ma could fly in the dark. You can see very far in the environment, and it's up to her to point the way.
Following the Jungle Devil Leopard, he soon arrived at the foot of Jiexiao Mountain. Hou Kai stopped tracking and flew to the ground to stop and watch. He could only vaguely see a few black figures jumping quickly among the trees on the mountain. After a while, Kung Fu disappeared into the darkness. Hou Kai listened carefully to the movements on the mountain to see if they had triggered a trap or something.
Tens of minutes passed. Except for the rustling of leaves in the night breeze, there was no other sound. Hou Kai couldn't help but think, is there no trap set up in the moral mountain? This is too moral, so it is so... Bravely welcome the attack of monsters.
Could it be that...,, are all the people living in the Jie Cao Village a person of Brother Chun level, who can stand a horse on their arms, can't be knocked down by ten shots at night, can open a beer lid with chrysanthemums, etc. Apart from this possibility, Hou Kai couldn't think of any other hero who dared to do that.
Since those jungle leopards are all fine, it means there are no traps here. Let's go to the mountain to set up a teleportation point today. It will be much more convenient to bring them here tomorrow. So thinking about this, I stepped towards Jiedao Mountain. There is only one mountain road up the mountain. And it was very eye-catching a hundred meters away from him.
When he stepped into the mountain road with one foot, a swishing sound suddenly came from the trees. The instinctive sense of crisis made Hou Kai jump back a step. After stabilizing his body, he found that the place where he had just stood was silent. Several spears were inserted. Hou Kai looked at these spears in surprise, because they did not make a sound when they were inserted into the ground. How sharp do they have to be to achieve such an effect? "Fuck, why are those leopards walking so strangely?" The route I took was fine, but I almost got shot into a gag when I took the main road."
"Akai, I think those leopards are probably the pets of the villagers on the mountain," Mianma analyzed. She said it was very likely, otherwise she would not have been able to avoid the traps and go up the mountain so easily. "It seems that this road is still I have to come back tomorrow during the day." Hou Kai found a place that seemed to be free of traps and set up a teleportation point.
Suddenly I smelled a pungent odor, and I covered my nose with my hand. Is this a convenient place for the villagers of Jie Cao Village to discharge? This must be too damn festive, but the smell is a little different. For To prove that it was true, Hou Kai followed the direction where the odor was coming from and took a look. The further he went, the stronger the stench became. "I wipe it, the smell is too strong," he scolded his mother while continuing to go to the other side. go ahead.
After walking about a dozen steps, Hou Kai stopped. Through the moonlight, he could see a huge pit a few meters in front of him. The stench was emanating from here. He asked Mianmao to wait behind him. He carefully walked to the edge of the pit, stretched out his head and looked down. Suddenly, the strong smell hit his nostrils and almost made Hou Kai vomit. The bottom of the pit was so dark that he couldn't see what was underneath.
"I hope it's not their rice fields," Hou Kai waved his hand, and a flaming golden talisman appeared, becoming the most shining presence in the dark night, controlling the talisman to descend to the bottom of the pit. When Hou Kai After seeing clearly what was at the bottom of the pit, his eyes could not help but open as big as a bell, "My aunt, this is actually a pit of abandoned corpses," Hou Kai was filled with shock when he saw the remains of the corpses of monsters at the bottom of the pit. , the number of corpses, both large and small, is staggering. "These should be the monsters that attacked Jiexao Village. I didn't expect there to be so many, filling half of the pit." After the control talisman glanced around, here Except for the corpse of the monster, there is nothing else.
After withdrawing the flame charm, Hou Kai turned to the other side and said, "Let's go back,"
She didn't ask what he saw, because she knew that if it was something she could know, Hou Kai would definitely tell her.
