Chapter 364 Gradually Sick Area
The street lights flickered on and off.
Two shadows stood opposite each other.
Amanda's grip relaxed and she took a step back.
Li Nuo put down the gun and looked behind her.
"Put the knife away. It's okay. We are old acquaintances. If she really wanted to take action, I would have seen blood."
The cold-edged kitchen knife slashed away from Amanda's neck. Two red butterflies flickered under the street lights, and finally landed on the ponytail girl's braid, turning back into a hair tie.
The butterfly exited the light and shadow of the street lamp and disappeared into the darkness.
"Mr. Li, there is still one hour left for supper. If you don't come back, I will go over."
The sound fell and silence returned.
"That girl, I think what she means is that if she doesn't see me in an hour, she will find me and kill me." Amanda touched the blood marks on her neck: "What a powerful killer, silently ”
"She's just worried that if I die, there will be no financial backers for her to eat, drink and have fun." Li Nuo joked, then smiled: "Long time no see, Ms. Amanda."
Amanda froze when she heard what Li Nuo called her.
Miss?
"Don't you always call me..."
"Sister Gazi?" Li Nuo shook his head: "No...it's not polite."
At this moment, Amanda recalled the brief exchange just now and knew something was wrong.
This Li Nuo is too polite.
If it was the demon hunter she knew roughly, he wouldn't have let the girl killer stop just now.
There was shouting from the hotel.
Nanami stuck her head out of the window wearing a nightcap, Li Nuo made an "ok" gesture, and the thin girl yawned and turned off the light.
With a click, Cha Bai changed her clothes and jumped down from the second floor, arriving behind Amanda in a few steps.
"Amanda?"
With her brown-white eyes filled with murderous intent, Amanda thought about helping her during the "Eternal Life Train", otherwise the hammer has fallen now.
Amanda suppressed the anger in her eyes: "You are on the national reward list."
She took out three lists.
——"A magician who can control evil dragons disguises himself as a prisoner and enters Chuangjie Mountain. If you encounter him, you must report it and get a bounty interview."
In the portrait, Li Nuo and Nanami are normal, but their Cha Bai is a bit outrageous and they are fat.
"Damn it, who painted me like this!" Cha Bai frowned and shouted.
"There is a woman named Alisee who seems to have some... well, prejudice against you." Amanda looked at Cha Bai tearing the reward list into pieces, and felt even more strange about them, but she still calmed down and explained: "This reward hasn't been issued yet because... it's so outrageous."
"There should be a reason for that, Chuangjie Mountain itself is a strange place, right?" Li Nuo asked.
Amanda nodded: "Compared with the outside world, it's like another world. You can't take most of the things here with you. You can only prevent the barrier from collapsing."
The information Li Nuo saw in the library said:
The outside world is full of wars, and it doesn't matter as long as Chuangjie Mountain prevents the barrier from collapsing.
Li Nuo asked: "Are you here to investigate the barrier issue?"
"Probably..." Amanda hesitated, but it was considered an admission. She looked at Chabai and said, "I tried to heal you on the train, so I remembered the smell of your body. In the case of the Poisonous Monster Bird, I found a familiar smell at the discovery site, and I wondered if it was the two of you.”
At this point, Amanda lowered her head slightly: "I'm sorry just now, I just think it's strange. If it's that Li Nuo, he shouldn't be howling in fear."
That's why she tried it out.
Li Nuo: "You want to cooperate?"
Amanda: "Well, help me investigate the root cause of the collapse of Chuangjie Mountain's barrier."
"good."
"ah?"
Amanda was startled.
Do you agree?
"Wait..." Cha Bai grabbed Amanda's arm and whispered, "Let's change to another place. There are street lights here, which are conspicuous."
As Cha Bai spoke, he showed a cheerful smile that he had never seen before.
"Um...Okay." Amanda was confused.
By some strange combination of circumstances, he followed them around a corner and came to an abandoned factory.
Li Nuo took out some ingredients for decoction and started a fire here.
The fire is shining brightly.
In the silence, words carry echoes.
Amanda quickly explained the situation clearly.
She worked as a mercenary outside Chuangjie Mountain and was later incorporated into the army. Her main task was to complete ten missions for the national army.
In her words, the danger is outside Chuangjie Mountain, where wars continue, and conflicts between countries, humans and demons, never stop.
But this has nothing to do with the player, now Amanda is just one step away from her final mission.
Amanda sat on the ground, facing Li Nuo, and said expressionlessly: "Investigating the origin of the loosening of Chuangjie Mountain's barrier. This is my last task. Once solved, I can go back."
"Any clues?" Li Nuo threw Pikachu's eyes into the cauldron, raised his head, and smiled: "Let's just skip the useless steps, Ms. Amanda."
"No." Amanda said, "I'm not the type who's good at using my brain, but I know you're good at this."
Chabai sat on the wooden box and suddenly said: "But there is a very important problem! We are being rewarded, so many things are inconvenient."
She is so lively... Amanda complained and said, "It doesn't matter. I will use all channels within my power. As long as you don't cause big trouble, the reward list will not be issued for the time being."
"Big trouble?" Cha Bai asked, spreading his hands and saying, "We haven't provoked anyone so far."
Amanda: "What I mean is, don't do it..."
"I understand." Li Nuo interrupted her and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Amanda: "Although you have become a little strange, your brain has not changed... After this is over, I want to have a fight with you."
Li Nuo: "Like just now?"
Amanda: "I just want to see how big the gap is between me and the strongest one in my class."
In fact, it's not that big... Li Nuo slandered.
Amanda's level is 75, and the numerical panel is protected and cannot be detected, but Li Nuo knows in his heart that this woman is very strong. The reason is very simple. How can a guy who uses a Gazi sword as a weapon not be powerful?
"I remember that Sauron did an investigation..." Chabai narrowed his eyes: "He didn't investigate you."
"Because I'm in his old rival's guild."
Amanda said and stood up.
Li Nuo's decoction smelled like the big hands used to see off guests.
"Ms. Amanda." Li Nuo asked, "Have you joined Miss Safa's team?"
Safa, Li Nuo would call her Sister Shuangfei. Among players of the same level, she is the only team leader who can compete with Sauron for resources. She is not too strong, but her connections are very strong. She knows how to behave and do things well. Can go anywhere.
"The last time I saw you, weren't you just chatting with Safa?" Amanda said slowly: "She contacted me after that, but don't worry, I am the only one in this script."
As long as I'm not on the opposite side of the mission, I won't take action, she wanted to say, but she let it go.
Li Nuo himself knew one thing, but he always didn't take it seriously.
He's actually quite famous.
A guy who barely showed up in front of people suddenly made the "residual blood crit" faction something that many players tried, and then caused a large number of players to commit suicide. This situation has been common in the past three months, and some even A small guild was destroyed because of this incident.
This is just a demonstration of strength, and speculation about brainpower is also circulating in Basel.
For example... the players really couldn't think of any means by which the [Residual Blood Man], who was less than level 60 at the time, could kill the high-dimensional demon, so the rumor became that when the [Residual Blood Man] didn't show up at all, let him The Mirror Master willingly committed suicide.
Therefore, in Amanda's eyes, no matter how strange this Li Nuo becomes, he must not say contradictory words unprepared.
He will play you to death.
Thinking of this, Amanda asked: "How did you kill Mirror Master?"
Li Nuo: "Crushed his heart."
Amanda looked at Li Nuo's pupils, which were a pair of eyes that only the brave had.
"If you were like this when we first met, I might rush to join your team."
"Sorry, there are only three of us here, there are no more people."
"Oh, what a pity..."
Amanda turned around and walked outside the factory.
"By the way, Ms. Amanda."
Li Nuo called her.
"Can you lend me some money?"
"money?"
"Well, we need to upgrade the equipment. Chuangjie Mountain is too expensive."
Li Nuo took out a piece of paper.
"I'll make an IOU."
"No need for IOU..."
"No, we must fight!"
Li Nuo nodded firmly, really like a good man, like a warrior who killed demons for the sake of the common people.
"Maybe I misjudged you before."
Amanda said, took out a money bag and threw it to Cha Bai.
Because there was too much money in it, Cha Bai leaned back after catching it.
"By the way, you two, I heard that good craftsmen are on the second floor of Chuangjie Mountain. Don't spend money frivolously."
Looking up again, Amanda had left.
One minute later.
"Li Nuo..."
"I……"
Cha Bai jumped off the box and touched his head.
"Isn't it hard?"
"Of course..."
Li Nuo raised his head, looked into her blue pupils, and spoke almost as if longingly:
"The last time I met Amanda in the Basel Library, I found that she was a woman who had strong fantasies about being brave..."
"So I was thinking just now, am I not just a bastard like a brave man now? According to the past, if I...make a request that is not excessive, she should agree to it unconditionally, right?"
"Then you borrowed the money?"
"Yes, I'm almost suffocated. It's really hard to be clever right now."
Cha Bai opened the money bag and took out a note redeemable for gold coins.
"But at least... we now have hundreds of thousands of gold coins."
Cha Bai pursed his lips, not knowing whether to smile or use some other expression.
"Li Nuo, you are really... full of calculations. Although you have even calculated your current inhuman appearance... but your awkward appearance is really pitiful."
"Cha Bai, are you ready to complain?"
The two of them had one idea in their minds: end this damn character test as soon as possible.
…
"All the money was lost?"
"Um."
Amanda nodded to the military leader who arrived.
"No matter, Amanda, what's going on?"
The person in charge pointed to the hotel where the death had just occurred.
Amanda said nonchalantly: "We chased a poacher, and all three of my temporary subordinates were killed. Finally, I executed the poacher, and that's it."
In fact, the previous killings were just for follow-up negotiations with Li Nuo. For Amanda, Li Nuo was her biggest reliance on completing the main mission.
Amanda said, "By the way, I found an expert on the issue of Chuangjie Mountain."
The other party was curious. In the eyes of most outsiders, there were no smart people in Chuangjie Mountain except a group of uncivilized guys.
Amanda didn't wait for the other party to answer, and said, "There are three escaped prisoners. I am responsible for this matter."
The person in charge was silent for a while.
"You didn't find the prisoners, did you?"
A few seconds later.
Amanda turned and left.
"If you guessed right, you are dead now, right?"
The person in charge touched his neck, his hands trembling.
"Can I ask who the expert you found is?"
"Maybe a hero."
Amanda's eyes lit up.
Although she suspected what was going on with Li Nuo's current situation, she couldn't find the answer after thinking about it. In the end, she could only think that maybe it was because of killing the devil that Li Nuo's soul had undergone a qualitative change.
It was normal for Cha Bai to become lively around a "hero".
"Just take it as reasonable."
She comforted herself, turned and walked towards the carriage on the street, ignoring those onlookers.
After the hustle and bustle, it was quiet.
On the train, she always felt that someone was staring at her.
Li Nuo and his group were three people, but one was missing. This was the source of Amanda's uneasiness.
Maljie had left her with an unbearable impression on the train.
"Could it be that Maljie?"
Amanda looked out of the car anxiously.
"Driver, leave quickly."
The car drove away.
Just now, beside the trash can on the street, Chen Shou watched Amanda leave before closing his eyes and continuing to sleep.
He stared until his eyes were dry.
"My little brother and sisters are really worrying..."
Chen Shou murmured.
Because of the approaching footsteps, he opened his eyes again.
A witch with a hooked nose appeared across the street.
She took an apple from the fruit basket she was carrying.
"Little Fatty, I think you have a curse on you. Eat it and you'll be fine. It only costs 5,000 Creation Coins."
Ten minutes later.
Chen Shou took the apple from the witch who was beaten unconscious by him.
[Holy Fruit of Misfortune Transfer]
[Quality: Epic]
[Effect: Transfer the curse to others]
[Brief description: Only warriors dare to eat it]
“Hey, warrior?”
Chen Shou smiled knowingly, thinking that he had just scared away the woman holding the Gazi sword with his eyes.
“I am a warrior.”
…
The Hill Quarry is located in the center of the first layer of the Creation World Mountain. To get here, you have to pass through the vast grassland, the endless forest, and the beautiful plateau lakes with abundant water and grass.
“Fortunately, the customized equipment can be picked up at the checkpoint set up halfway.”
Li Nuo sat in the co-pilot seat and looked at the equipment list.
Cha Bai squeezed his head from the back seat and said with a smile: "Yes, but in this case, our equipment will have to stay in the town first. I am a little worried that it will be taken away. That is to say, look at Li Nuo, Chen Shou's things are easy to deal with, after all, they are all new works. You need to add a detonator to your whip, and add the scales of the flying thunder dragon to your clothes. The tear glands of the fire dragon are in my customized cloak, and the electric property of Nanami's stick is something, um... what am I talking about."
She is talking a lot now.
Li Nuo smiled gently and said: "Sit back, don't fall, you will have to get the beads later. I didn't expect that the strengthening beads in this world are all customized."
Cha Bai: "Fortunately, there are Amanda's 160,000 world creation coins."
Li Nuo: "Fortunately, there is the old off-road vehicle funded by Jilan."
Cha Bai: "Although it's strange, I want to say..."
Li Nuo: "I love you."
The two smiled at each other.
I felt awkward in my heart.
What are we doing?
Are we sick?
Quickly put an end to this twisted personality!
We have entered the swamp.
About 40 minutes later, the tall off-road vehicle passed a checkpoint made of iron fence. The six-meter-high fence was built on the hills and dense forests, completely isolating the inside and outside.
The ring-shaped iron gate was sprayed with red paint with the words "Danger Ahead".
Nanami, who was driving, didn't even step on the brakes. The tall brown off-road vehicle rushed straight past. Staff members wearing the green striped uniforms of the guild hurriedly opened the heavy iron gates from left and right, like a bottomless giant mouth.
After passing through the fence, there was still endless green shade and thick fog.
Occasionally, huge white abandoned buildings could be seen around.
There were also strange creatures hiding in the thick fog.
"We're here."
Li Nuo shouted while staring at the red light outside the window.
Nanami stepped on the brakes.
The tires gave off a strong earthy smell, and the brake sound was particularly harsh. A beige roe deer was startled out of the grass and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The car stopped in the wild.
Not far away is a mushroom-shaped guild supply station.
All equipment made in the town can be directly taken here through the conveyor belt.
That is why they set off early the next morning after stealing Amanda's money. Now it is afternoon, the sky is gloomy and there is no light.
Nanami opened the car door and jumped out of the car with an expressionless face.
Li Nuo followed.
Suddenly there was a bang!
Nanami closed the door a little loudly, which scared the cowardly Li Nuo.
The two looked at each other.
"Li Nuo, are you okay?"
Nanami took a big step over and comforted him worriedly.
"I'm sorry, I forgot you were timid."
"It's okay, Miss Jane..."
Nanami narrowed her eyes, her eyes as charming as an elk, and said dissatisfied: "I said, don't call me Jane, just call me Nanami. Oh, by the way, didn't you mean, when you call me Nanami? Is it like calling Goudan?”
"Sorry, I shouldn't think that way." Li Nuo felt guilty.
Nanami smiled with infinite tenderness: "No, you can call me Goudan. We still need to support you and move forward. You are Goudan's friend."
Li Nuo smiled and nodded: "Okay, Nanami."
Chen Shou sat in the car, staring with dead eyes.
His face was full of melancholy.
After eating the witch's apple last night, he returned to normal and did not jump out of the trial mission.
The problem is, when bad luck is transferred, it means transferred to an acquaintance.
The only acquaintance of Chen Shou who is not cursed is Nanami.
then.
Nanami is very gentle now, so gentle that people can't bear to hurt her. If her breasts were just a little bigger, she could play a role in the theater of "Pornographic Mother".
Chen Shou could only sigh and look out the window. The scene where Li Nuo and Nanami, two people who used to quarrel whenever they met, now care about each other, is really infinitely magical.
"The mouse is the bridesmaid for the cat." He couldn't help complaining: "Why have you changed your personality and become more sick?"
At this moment, Cha Bai slapped her palm on the workbench, and she yelled at the staff: "We just want to transport equipment and we have to spend money? Are you a black shop?"
Staff: "No, miss, listen to me..."
Cha Bai shouted in displeasure: "Give me a discount, brother, we are so poor!"
"No way..."
"Otherwise, tell me who you hate, and I'll help you kill him."
"I……"
"You look down on me, brother! Then I will kill you."
"Don't……"
"Then give me a discount!"
"Even Sister Cha is like this..." Chen Shou complained and got out of the car amidst the noise.
He came to a worker who was unloading goods on the roadside and asked for a cigarette.
Thin brother rarely smokes.
There was really nothing he could do today. He felt like he had entered a serious ward.
The staff lit a cigarette for him and watched Li Nuo and Nanami chatting happily, and Cha Bai bargaining for the team and officials.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, is your team harmonious enough?"
"Haha...hahahaha...harmonious, so harmonious..." Chen Shoupi smiled, took a puff of cigarette, coughed, and said, "I shouldn't have eaten that apple."
Bell~
A phone booth on the roadside suddenly rang.
Li Nuo looked over.
When the phone booth used by adventurers to receive quests rings, it means that something big is happening in the guild.
Chen Shou put away his listless eyes and threw his adventurer badge to Li Nuo.
Snap.
Li Nuo entered the phone booth.
Pick up the phone that's still ringing.
"The area you are in is the 'Land of Swamp and Fire'."
"An emergency announcement is now being issued."
Li Nuo made a shushing gesture to the people outside the glass.
Immediately afterwards, came the microphone:
"The expedition team composed of the first group of adventurers went deep into the secret passage where the overlord Red Comet Dragon was hiding five minutes ago."
"Twenty-two people, all dead."
"The guild misestimated the difficulty of this task."
"We are now reporting that the mission to hunt the Overlord Red Comet Dragon has been temporarily cancelled. Adventurers are advised not to approach there."
