Volume 19 Chapter 169 Liar

"Don't be sad. Rigidity is both a shortcoming and an advantage of the Germans. You can't expect yourselves to be perfect supermen, right?"

"President Ziri, thank you very much for your help this time. If..." The Ashford Guards on the opposite side was about to say something, but were suddenly interrupted by a commotion from below.

Because we were chasing the guy all the way down, now we are very close to the ground. At this time, we can hear the sounds on the ground clearly from the branches of the trees. The ground, which had always been noisy due to the large number of tourists, suddenly became quiet for some reason. When we looked down, we found that it was Ashford who was leading a large group of people. 'Then came over.

Seeing Ashford walking in front of the team, I simply jumped from the tree. "Hey, Ashford, you didn't expect to meet me here, did you?"

"Eh? Ziri? You're actually here too. Just in time, help me explore a ruins."

I pointed at the group of Ashford Guards who had just come down and said, "I've heard about it from them, and I've also helped you get it done. I'm not telling you, you are really stingy, just buy one at will." Aren’t the people from Maps going to give you trouble? Why are you in such a mess just for a few dollars?"

"Is that guy's map real?" Ashford asked in surprise.

"It should be so. I've never been to the ruins, so I don't know if it's true or not, but judging from the guy's behavior, it doesn't look like it's false."

Ashford was stunned for a moment, and then asked excitedly: "Where's the map?"

As soon as Ashford asked, the guard holding the map immediately handed it over. Ashford quickly unfolded the map and looked at it, then suddenly smashed the map to the ground, grabbed me and asked eagerly: "What about the bastards?"

I was very surprised and looked at the map that was thrown on the ground and stepped on by Ashford, and then asked carefully: "What's wrong? Is the map fake?" To be honest, although my judgment is not 100% accurate, , but there are definitely not many people who can deceive me. If this map is true, it only shows that the acting skills of the guy just now are too superb.

Ashford nodded with certainty and said: "I was killed once by a mechanism on the first floor of the ruins. Not only was the mechanism drawn on the map different from what I saw, but there was also a wrong turn. How could such a thing happen? Could it be true?”

As soon as I heard this, I knew that I had really been deceived this time. To be honest, this situation has happened only a handful of times so far, but it has never been so embarrassing before. After all, this time it was to help Ashford. If it was my own problem, I would just go back and find the solution, but this was to help Ashford. The money I lost after being deceived was small, but I really couldn’t save my face.

"Damn bastard!" Before Ashford could continue to ask me, I turned around and jumped onto the tree branch. Of course, the guy was no longer there. He knew that what he was selling was fake. How could he stand there and wait to die when he saw us all going down? It's a pity that I took Yeyue back. I should have kept him outside to keep an eye on him. But it was probably useless even if he didn't take it back. After all, I thought he was just trying to sell the map, so I relaxed my vigilance against him after he gave me the map. Under this situation, if he wanted to leave Yeyue, there was no reason to stop him.

Anyway, that guy has run away now, and if I don't catch him back and get the information about the ruins, then I will be really embarrassed and sent abroad this time.

"White Waves."

Suddenly a white shadow appeared on the branch. After sniffing around, he immediately jumped towards a tree trunk on the side. After landing on the tree trunk, he smelled it again and started to move to the next tree trunk. Ashford and his people saw me releasing Bailang to search around and knew that I must have lost the person, so he immediately ordered everyone to follow me and at the same time dispersed into a fan and pushed forward to conduct a pull-type search.

Although Bailang's sense of smell helped me, I didn't place all my hopes on Bailang. With a wave of my hand, Birds, Lucky, Plague, and several other flying magic pets all flew into the sky and started searching visually. Sure enough, direct search using vision is much faster than Bailang's sense of smell. Ashford and I only spoke a few words just now, and the time was not very long. The guy couldn't run very far in such a short time, so luckily they spotted the guy as soon as they got into the sky.

"In the east, two kilometers away." The report from Lucky made our entire team quickly gather there, and I rushed to the edge of the World Tree in three steps and two steps, and then jumped out. The flying bird flashed past me, caught me, and immediately turned on the afterburner and rushed to the sky above the guy's location.

The little liar was walking quickly through the jungle when he suddenly saw a figure slamming into the mud in front of him, blowing away all the mud in front of him, revealing a huge mud pit.

When I stood up from the mud puddle, the guy immediately recognized my appearance, turned around and ran away. Seeing that he still dared to run, I was thrown away by a sword light seven or eight meters away. The guy was running when he suddenly saw a flash of light in front of him. Immediately afterwards, he saw a large tree in front of him to the left, with ten people hugging it, suddenly split in half from the middle and fell to both sides.

"You can run away if you dare."

"Hehe... hehe... misunderstanding, misunderstanding." The guy's eyes were rolling around as he spoke, obviously thinking of wrong ideas. However, before I could warn him, the guy suddenly jumped into the mud next to him and disappeared.

The mud on the ground is nearly one meter deep, so it's definitely no problem to hide someone. But the Tibetan people mean to hide first and then find him. He got into the mud in front of me like this. Even if I am stupid, I still know where he is?

"Humph!" Seeing how ignorant that guy was, I got really angry. He directly took out a magic crystal steam bomb from Fenglong Space, opened the safety cover, and threw it towards where the guy got into the mud. As soon as the bomb landed in the mud, it immediately sank. Two seconds later, there was a loud bang, and all the surrounding mud was blown away in an instant. At the same time, a person flew up with the mud.

The guy was rolling and flying up in the air, but he was not honest. He reached out and took out the whip on his waist and wanted to wrap it around a nearby tree and swing out. However, as soon as his whip wrapped around the branch of a tree, he suddenly felt It was dark all around. When he suddenly turned around, he was horrified to find that a giant dragon had flown behind him. Just as he was trying to pull his whip to get away from here, the dragon had already pinched him in its palm.

After Lucky caught the guy, he immediately flapped his wings and prepared to rise, but the guy tightened his whip desperately to prevent Lucky from taking him away, but he had been hanging around in South America, and the largest flying creature he had ever seen was the swamp dragon. Moreover, he had only seen it a few times from a distance, and had never really come into contact with the swamp dragon. Precisely because he had never really come into contact with dragon creatures, he obviously underestimated the power of dragons. In fact, Lucky didn't even notice that the guy had a whip wrapped around his hand. Lucky simply flapped his wings twice and the branch the whip was wrapped around was forcefully pulled down.

Realizing that his whip failed to secure him at all, the guy immediately turned his hand and whipped the whip towards Lucky's neck, trying to use Lucky's pain to cover the wound to free himself from the dragon's claws, but in the end, even though he whipped the whip, it passed There was a snap, but Lucky just turned his head to look at him, and then used his other paw to scratch twice on the area where the neck was hit. After seeing the strings of sparks caused by the friction between Lucky's claws and his own scales, the guy finally realized that his attack could only be regarded as tickling the dragon in front of him.

Knowing that Luck had caught him, we all gathered on a nearby high ground. This place is not far from the natural trees, and it is also a mound of soil that is higher than the ground, so it is relatively dry. When I climbed onto the land covered in mud, the guy had already been placed on the ground. However, this guy was not honest at all. He tried to escape as soon as he landed. He didn't know that he was born with a weak head. Or whatever. The situation around him didn't look like he could run away, yet he actually tried to escape.

"It's so bad that I have to go into the mud to catch you. You are really incredible!" As I said this, I ignited the hellfire on my body. The mud quickly dried up and turned into mud at a speed visible to the naked eye. It fell off. The biggest advantage of the equipment in the game is that it does not stick to dust and will fall off as soon as the mud dries.

After the guy rushed back several times and was blocked, I saw that he still wanted to run. I simply let the sickle come out and used spider silk to stick all his hands and feet to a big tree. Now his whole body is shaped like a big glyph. He was leaning against a big tree and was completely stuck to the trunk.

The tropical rainforests of South America are already exaggerated in reality, and even more so in the game. Although the big tree behind this guy is not as exaggerated as the World Tree, it would take at least a dozen people to carry him over. With his back against the big tree and being fixed on it, he can't even move, no matter how much he shakes. Useless. This is not a landscape tree planted in the city. Even if he uses all his strength, he cannot make the tree sway in the slightest.

Seeing that this guy was still struggling after being stuck to the tree, I simply walked over and pressed his shoulder with my left hand to press him against the trunk. Then I raised my right hand in front of him, and the two outer claws made a clatter. It popped out instantly, but it didn't fully expand. The two blade claws only extended a quarter of the way, and the middle one didn't move at all. Put the two bladed claws in front of the guy's eyes and slowly move closer to his eyes. The guy tilted his head to one side in fear. I immediately pinched his face with my hands and pulled his head back so that his eyes were staring directly at the tip of the claw.

"I gave you the opportunity and trust, but you actually dared to lie to me. Since I entered the game, everyone who has offended me has received their due retribution. There has never been an exception, and you will not be that exception. So, if I hope you won’t be punished too badly. I suggest you let me see your sincerity.”

"ah……"

Just when I was about to let the guy speak and opened the palm holding his chin, the guy turned around and tried to spit at me. Thanks to my quick reaction, the blade in the middle of the claw instantly popped out and penetrated his mouth. It shattered his four front teeth and directly penetrated his tongue, but the guy's expression didn't show any obvious signs other than a slight tremor of resistance. Obviously the level of bloodiness this guy chose is not 100%. Although not turning on all pain will reduce combat effectiveness, there are still many players who like to turn off pain. It’s just that most of the people who choose not to turn on pain are non-combat players. As for combat players, this kind of There are really not too many people, even girls usually turn on all the pain, and some violent women even like to turn on the bloody mode. After all, if there is no blood at all during the battle, it doesn't feel like fighting.

"Haha, just go ahead and fuck me. I didn't prescribe all the pain. This injury is just like an injection. I'm not afraid."

Seeing that guy's arrogance, I frowned deeply, then I took out an elixir directly from my body and said, "Okay, you're being cruel, I'll admit defeat this time. Those five hundred crystals I don’t want the coins anymore, just treat it like a pickpocket. I don’t want the ruins map either. At worst, if I force my way in, I still don’t believe there are any traps I can’t get through. As for you...since I don’t plan to get anything back from you. , let's have a fight to the death, shall we?" As I said that, I showed the properties of the elixir in front of the guy.

The originally arrogant guy turned green when he saw this attribute. The one I took was of course the mandatory upgrade elixir I got from Heaven, but it was an early product. The highest one was only over 600 levels, and the lowest one was even less than 200 levels. And the one I took out was the lowest level 185 elixir. As long as he takes this elixir, his level will not rise, but will immediately become level 185. Although this guy's current level of 813 is considered relatively low in the game, it is still over 800 anyway. If he were to return to level 185, it would be the same as being killed and returned to the novice village. Not big anymore.

"Hey, don't fool me! This kind of elixir must be very valuable. I know you won't waste it on me." I didn't refute what the guy said, but directly took out a handful of elixirs. I came out and showed him all the attributes, but the guy immediately gave up. "Master, please spare my life! Just show your dignity and let me go this time!"

"Let you go?" I looked at the other person with a sneer and said, "If I let you go, what about my five hundred crystal coins? What about the time when my friend died innocently? And I lost such a big person, my How do you calculate face?"

"Can't I repay you the crystal coins?" The guy said with a sad face: "I really can't afford to pay for the time your friend died. How could I do this if I had money? I can't lead you to the ruins. Okay? Just think of it as paying your debt, okay? There really is no map to the ruins, but I know how to close the mechanism, so I can be your guide and make sure I get you in safely, okay?"

"Humph, give me my money back first."

"I don't have the money, can you go get it with me?"

"Not on you?"

The guy said with a grimace: "Five hundred crystal coins is a lot. Do you think I can hide so much money on my body?"

"Don't you have space equipment?" Ashford couldn't help but interjected and asked.

The guy immediately looked at Ashford in surprise and said: "Please, sir, if I had money to buy space equipment, why would I do this? I can make more money by relying on space equipment for transportation than being a liar selling fake maps, right?" ?”

"Then where did you hide the money?"

"I'll leave it to the people in our guild."

"Where are you going?" I glanced at the other person's bare chest in surprise.

As soon as the guy looked at me and looked at his chest, he immediately reacted and quickly explained: "It's not your kind of guild organization. I'm talking about an organization formed by our group of people who specialize in cheating, abducting and stealing. In order to ensure that we are caught In order not to get in trouble with each other, and to avoid being recognized by others for wearing the badge, which would affect the chance of making a move, we did not declare the guild."

In fact, there are a lot of wild guilds like this guy mentioned outside, some of which are for special purposes. For example, they are afraid that the guild logo will reveal their identity and make others wary of them in advance, which will affect their actions. But more There are many wild guilds because they are too weak. Weakness means no money. Forming a guild requires funds and fighting. Raising enough money to buy a building as a guild headquarters requires money. Passing the guild establishment assessment requires strength, so a team that is too weak cannot establish a guild. . But these people wanted to be together, so they got together and operated like a formal guild, but without the guild rights and guild obligations supported by the system. All guilds that are not recognized by this system are called wild guilds, because they are completely unrestrained like wild animals.

"In this case, you take us to the ruins first, and then get the money when you come back." Five hundred crystal coins are completely dispensable to me, so I am not in a hurry to ask for money. The reason why I want my money back is purely because I lost face. If it weren't for face, it would be okay if I didn't want the five hundred crystal coins. In comparison, the ruins in Ashford were obviously more important, so I decided to let that guy take us to the ruins first.

Originally, I thought that since the guy had given in, he would definitely accept what we said, but who knew he actually said: "It's not urgent, let's get the money back first. It's a way to go anyway, and I'm afraid they won't wait for me if I get there late." I just divided the money, and it will be troublesome if I want to get it back later!"

If this guy didn't explain it like this and just suggested to get the money first, I might have listened to him, but his explanation made it darker and darker. Now I am 'forcing' him to spit out the money he has defrauded, but he is so kind to help me. Isn't this obviously a problem? However, even though I guessed that he wanted to lure us into their organization, I didn't intend to expose him. Anyway, with the strength of these rabble, I wouldn't be in danger even if I went alone, not to mention that there was Ash. Ford and the large group of people he brought with him.

"Okay, then we'll go to your guild first."
