Chapter 134: The Power of the Black Dragon
August 13, Endless Sea World.
Nothing happened last night, and it still rained today.
Li Feng and Xia didn't know what to feel about the invitation to the Sad Theater.
You received an unkind theater invitation, but the unknown performance was delayed.
Although they all wanted to hide and hoped that the performance would never start, they knew it was impossible.
The invitation was now like a sharp sword, hanging directly above their heads, as if they were counting every minute and every second.
In addition, Li Feng had to worry about one more thing, that is, the Violet Eye, which was postponed again today.
*: "What are you doing? Today is the 13th. If you don't come today, there are only two days left!"
*: "That is, is there anyone in the sea near Storm Island? Is there really a storm on the sea?"
*: "Isn't Violet Eye lying?"
*: "There is a storm. Because of work reasons, I can guarantee that it is a very big and dangerous storm. All the ships on the sea have avoided it."
*: "Ah, what can we do then?"
The date of returning to the player world is getting closer and closer, and the players are worried.
What will happen if the paper crane that has gone out of control and killed 15 people also returns to the player world?
But the matter of Violet Eye catching the paper crane, like the invitation letter to the Sad Theater, has not been followed up for a long time, and people are helpless.
In order to avoid the suspicion of the Governor's eyes, Li Feng went to the fishing spot after entering the Shadow World today.
[Flint fusion progress +5%]
[Overall fusion progress: 20%]
[You have successfully been promoted to a second-level second-class hunter]
A few days ago, Li Feng improved the lucky potion. With the blessing of a purer potion, he caught a lot of fish at the fishing spot.
Now he has been promoted to a second-level second-class hunter.
The overall progress is very fast, but Li Feng is still not happy, because compared with the problems he is facing now, this promotion is of no help.
Since the governor took his family and nobles to hunt in the Blue Emerald Forest, the Wind's Rest Castle was very quiet, with no dances or night banquets.
Li Feng just happened to be able to avoid socializing. After fishing, he returned to his room to read and check information.
What made him happy today was that in the many messy books of the trolls, he found the legend of the Lava Lord.
According to the history recorded by the trolls, the formation of the Lost Land was caused by the war between the dragon and the Lava Lord.
If you find the Lava Lord, you may be able to get some information about the Lost Land.
It rained heavily outside the window, and the raindrops kept knocking on the window. The day passed quickly.
…
August 14, Endless Sea World.
Nothing happened last night, and today the heavy rain turned into light rain.
*: "What? Isn't the rain easing? Violet Eye can't arrive today?"
A player who is suspected to also live in Storm Island questioned in the chat channel.
0097: "Because it takes time to sail, I got the news that the Violet Eye's ship is expected to arrive at the port tomorrow."
*: "Tomorrow? Arrive tomorrow, and then rest, hand over, eat and drink. Wow, one day is over, and there is still a fart to catch!"
*: "Yeah, I'm so anxious. Tomorrow is the day of return. The paper crane returns and fights in the player world?"
*: "Oh, I have a way. Why can't the Violet Eye ask the police of Windbreak City or the people of the Earth Ring to capture the paper crane? Wouldn't it be faster that way?"
*: "That's right! It's all about arresting anyway."
In front of the chat channel, Huang Yanyan sighed deeply when she saw this message.
She had told Captain Qi Heng to let the extraordinary people of Windbreak Castle capture the paper crane in advance.
But Qi Heng said helplessly that the paper crane was related to the clues of the Sad Theater, and the Violet Eye was unwilling to share the secret with other forces.
To put it bluntly, the top leaders of the Violet Eye are not players, so they don't have a sense of urgency in time.
They just don't want the paper crane to fall into the hands of other forces.
Even for Fengxi Fort, they only asked for help in name in order to have a reason to land on the island, but they did not reveal any information about the paper crane for the time being.
*: "Alas, we are powerless and no one can rely on us."
*: "Just survive in the cracks."
*: "To be honest, we have to rely on ourselves to protect the player world, but our current strength..."
*: "(′°????????ω°????????`)"
August 14, the end time of the fifth cycle is less than two days.
Players are looking forward to the last glimmer of hope in despair, looking forward to the miracle of the Violet Eye.
...
August 15, the Endless Sea World.
At four o'clock in the morning, the dawn of the morning has not yet shone on the earth, and Li Feng is washing in the room.
What makes him feel strange and happy is that nothing happened at midnight yesterday.
The invitation letter to the Sad Theater is like a piece of waste paper, which has no effect at all.
But Li Feng believes that it will never pass like this.
As for the Violet Eye, they will arrive at the port of the Wind's End dock area at noon today.
But he did not get this news from the official players.
Instead, just now, Knight Commander Lannis's men came to him.
They said that the Violet Eye delegation was about to arrive, and the Governor and a group of knights would temporarily return to Wind's End to meet them.
But there were still many families and nobles left in the Blue Emerald Forest to hunt, so the Governor hoped that Li Feng, as a transcendent, could go to the forest to arrange various matters.
This request was reasonable and Li Feng had no reason to refuse.
But at the same time, he also vaguely felt that the governor did not want him to come into contact with the people of Violet Eyes, so he found a reason to send him away.
But for Li Feng, he was not interested in the Violet Eye.
He is now tasked with dealing with the Theater of Sorrow by fishing every day and reading troll books.
So even if he knew the governor's intentions, he didn't care.
Today is August 15th, and midnight today will be the day to return to the player world.
After Li Feng finished washing, he put all the troll-related books in the room into the dragon bag, and then put the bag into the system backpack.
If there is no movement in the Theater of Sadness at midnight today, then as long as he returns to the player world, there will be another 15 days of preparation time.
These 15 days are just a good time to continue fishing upgrades and research materials.
The troll's book is not useless, and now Li Feng has learned about it.
During the war between the dragons and the lava lords, the black dragons poured power into the land.
So, will the broken lost land contain the power of the black dragon?
…
*: "What? Violet Eyes won't arrive until noon?"
Today is the last day of the fifth cycle.
The return is imminent, and in the chat channel, almost all players are paying attention to Violet Eye's capture of Paper Crane.
But compared with the hopeful attitude of the past few days, players today are desperate.
*: "Today is already the 15th, I don't count on it anymore!"
*: "Are the official players still there? I would like to ask which city in the player world the paper crane is in?"
*: "Yes, let's talk about it so that we can avoid it after we return."
*: "md, I have parents, a wife and children, and such a dangerous thing is about to happen to them. I really can't bear it."
*: "Yes, I really am! Only now do I feel that promotion is really urgent!"
In the manor full of laurel trees, Huang Yanyan was in the same mood as the players were excited.
It was too late for Violet Eyes. After previous communication with the captain, Huang Yanyan planned to announce the location of the paper crane in the player world.
After all, having one less casualty is a good thing.
0097: "Zhihe lives on the outskirts of Yuncheng City. After returning, the officials will immediately send people to arrest him. Players and family members near Yuncheng are also asked to be careful."
In fact, Zhihe is not from Yuncheng. He is in Yuncheng mainly because Yuncheng has an official research institute.
He moved to the suburbs of Yuncheng City because of work reasons.
But Yuncheng is also a big city in the east, with a dense population.
So as soon as this news came out, the chat channel was in trouble again.
Some players said that they were lucky to be far away from there, while others said that their parents in their hometown were there, but they were sad and anxious because they were out of town and had no time to take care of them.
All in all, there were all kinds of emotions and feelings in the chat channel.
…
‘Suburban Yuncheng? ’
In the blue emerald forest on the outskirts of Fengxi City, Li Fengzheng, Xia, and many nobles were hunting.
Naturally, his mind was not on hunting, and he only kept paying attention to the chat channel.
‘Yuncheng, why is it such a coincidence? ’
Li Feng's family lived in Yuncheng, and he suddenly felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
At this moment, a tall, thin, middle-aged man came towards him on horseback.
"Mr. Rhine, they found a few deer ahead. Let's go over."
The speaker was Baron Warner, and he wore a gold laurel emblem on his coat, which was the symbol of the Warner family.
He couldn't explain why, but Li Feng always felt that this person was kind-hearted.
After getting in touch with him, Li Feng also felt that Baron Warner had a very good character and he was quite willing to deal with this person.
As for the paper crane, there is no use thinking about it now.
Li Feng simply ignored it for the time being, facing the westward sun, and rode his horse forward along the path with Mr. Warner.
…
Huang Yanyan lifted his heavy hood and glanced at the westward sun.
Just now, she lied to the housekeeper's wife that she didn't sleep well last night and wanted to rest now.
She locked the door, climbed out of the window, and escaped from her castle full of laurel trees.
Along the way, she disguised herself and came to the dock area, waiting for captain Qi Heng at the agreed place.
Not long after, Huang Yanyan saw a familiar figure in the crowded dock area.
"What did your mentor say? Will they capture the paper cranes today?"
After traveling into the game world, their faces have partially changed, but they can still be recognized at a glance as long as they are acquaintances.
At this moment, Huang Yanyan, who had already connected with Qi Heng, asked Qi Heng.
Qi Heng shook his head:
"It's difficult, we just arrived today, and the governor sent someone to welcome us, and then there was a welcome banquet and so on.
I feel that your governor is also on guard against us, and my mentor and the others are not in a hurry to arrest anyone.
well--"
Qi Heng's mentor is a middle-level member of the Violet Eye, and he himself is a member of the Violet Eye.
Coincidentally, his mentor was ordered to participate in the capture of Paper Crane and the investigation of the Theater of Sorrow. Qi Heng, as an apprentice, also happened to take this opportunity to come to Wind's Breath City.
But now, he ran out of the banquet because of a stomachache.
"Then what should we do? We are the only ones looking for the paper cranes?"
Huang Yanyan frowned after hearing this and said anxiously.
"That's all."
Qi Heng rented a carriage and drove to the outskirts of the city with Huang Yanyan, saying:
"When I was at sea, I asked my mentor to help me divine the location of the paper crane. The result of the divination was that the paper crane was on the outskirts of Wind's End City."
"The suburbs of the city, but the suburbs of Fengxi City are so big and there are many mountains and forests, so it's hard to find them!"
Huang Yanyan was very worried.
The plan she had made with Qi Heng before was that if the Violet Eyes did not catch the paper crane before the 15th, then the two of them would act alone.
Huang Yanyan is now a second-level light prayer, and Qi Heng is a second-level ninth-level spell weaver.
As for Zhihe, although he is powerful at controlling paper spirits, he is only a second- and fifth-level person.
As long as Huang Yanyan and Qi Heng work together, they are not afraid of being unable to defeat the paper crane.
"Don't worry, I have this."
Hearing Huang Yanyan's worry, Qi Heng took out a white paper man with a mouth cut into a smile.
"We can use it to find the paper crane."
"Investigator's paper spirit?"
When Huang Yanyan saw the pale paper man, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly:
"This thing is very easy to be interfered with, so it may not be accurate!"
After Huang Yanyan pointed out the key point, Qi Heng had no choice but to cry and laugh at the same time and said helplessly:
"Sister, I'm just an apprentice with a bright brain. It's not bad to cheat this from my mentor!"
"All right--"
Huang Yanyan was also helpless. Then she thought of something:
"By the way, you said Zhihe last time..."
"It is very possible that he has gained great power through the Theater of Sorrow."
Qi Heng said this with worry:
"The instructor suspects that he has merged with the paper spirit and taken the form of paper, and his rank may have already exceeded the second and fifth levels."
"What?!"
Huang Yanyan was extremely shocked when he heard the news.
If Zhi He's rank increases, and Zhi Ling is added, she and Qi Heng may not be able to deal with it.
"So, we still have to be prepared for Plan B."
Qi Heng said while driving the carriage.
In their plan, if they are unable to kill Zhihe in the game world, or they can only injure him.
Then as soon as they return, they will immediately capture the paper cranes in the player world.
Guns and bullets may not be of much use, but all the official players gathered in the Yuncheng branch can also capture the paper crane.
Thinking of Plan B, Huang Yanyan nodded and confirmed casually:
"By the way, before traveling into the game, did Zhihe report his location to the research institute?"
As official players, they have to share their location with the institute in real time to avoid accidents.
This was already an extremely common thing, but when Qi Heng heard these words, his whole body felt like he was struck by lightning.
He suddenly remembered that when he was about to travel through time, he heard the team leader talking to himself:
Why hasn't Paper Crane shared its location yet? Could it be that the positioning device is broken?
At that time, the team leader went to call Zhihe while talking, so Qi Heng didn't pay attention and just made preparations for the time travel.
I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now that I think about it, I suddenly realize:
Perhaps Zhihe had been corrupted a long time ago, and had already laid out his plans in the player world before this time travel, so that the institute could not find him.
Seeing Qi Heng's shocked expression, Huang Yanyan was also stunned.
She immediately understood that if the paper crane could not be caught before returning at midnight today, it would be a disaster for the player world.
The disaster was much more serious than they originally imagined.
The sun above their heads had already set to the west. Huang Yanyan and Qi Heng, who were feeling heavy, stopped their carriage and stood on a remote path on the outskirts of Fengxi City.
"We are all people's police, right?"
Qi Heng asked.
Huang Yanyan nodded heavily:
"this is what we are supposed to do."
Facing the no longer scorching sun, Qi Heng released the investigator's paper spirit in his hand.
…
"Crack, crackle, crackle."
In an empty camp in the blue emerald forest, Mr. Warner happily looked at the deer he had hunted.
The deer had been skinned and was being roasted over the fire.
Fatty fat drips into the fire, making a crackling sound, while the aroma of barbecue is carried by the wind in the dense forest in midsummer.
Li Feng and Xia sat by the fire and listened to today's hunting champion, Baron Warner, talk about his business experiences and various interesting things.
But suddenly, among the rich aroma of barbecue, a faint rancid smell wafted over.
Li Feng and Xia are extraordinary beings, and their senses are naturally more sensitive than Mr. Warner and other nobles.
Feeling something was wrong, they immediately looked back at the forest behind them.
At this moment, they saw an adult brown bear, as tall as a person, creeping towards them.
But what is puzzling is that the brown bear has a very short face and no ears.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the bear's forehead had been cut off long ago, and its eyes also had two bloody holes.
Its abdomen was completely cut open by a sharp blade, and rows of ribs were exposed.
But this was a brown bear that should have died.
now.
Baring his fangs, he quickly attacked everyone in the camp.
