Chapter 254 Xiao Ming's Wonderful Adventure (I)

"Stop."

As the blue candlelight flickered, the figure of the candlekeeper slowly appeared. When he spoke, the players' bodies involuntarily stopped beating.

Seeing Rogge appear, Xiaoluo suddenly seemed to have found a backbone, quickly came to Rogge's shoulders, and hugged his face aggrievedly.

"Rolog, you won't sell the snail...right?"

"Of course not." Rogge touched her head.

At the same time, he also blocked his real name to avoid being heard by players. He did not want to use his real name to surf the Internet.

"Roger is the best!"

After hearing Rogge's words, the little snail finally smiled and returned to his happy look, swimming around in the air.

"Holy shit, is this the candlekeeper's daughter?"

"Don't be ridiculous, the candle keeper is so handsome, he must be single."

"? Big sister, is there any necessary connection between the two?"

"What's the relationship between Xiao Luo and Candle Keeper? They seem to be very close."

"Fuck, no wonder I was able to beat Leti just now!"

"Haha, this seems to be the tacit approval of the candle keeper. I'm glad."

"Yeah, yeah, it feels good. I've been wanting to beat this b*tch for a long time. You're such a bitch."

"..."

When a group of players saw this, they suddenly realized that it was the Candle Keeper who was behind it. Xiaoluo and the Candle Keeper had such a good relationship, no wonder Leti got beaten.

"..."

On Leti's side, after seeing the intimacy between Rogge and Xiaoluo, he immediately understood the reason why he was beaten and took a deep breath.

"Go and play." Rogge said to Xiaoluo with a smile.

Xiaoluo heard this, hummed, and then pulled Snail and left happily.

However, there were still many players who wanted to stay and watch the show, but their vision soon became blurry, which made them leave disappointed.

"...I'm sorry, controller of the candle, please forgive my rude words. I didn't know it was your property."

Leti endured the pain in his body and stood up, speaking to Rogge very seriously.

Although I didn't know about this beforehand, it would be wrong if I offended the other party... not to mention that we were still on the other party's territory.

In Leti's opinion, the candle-keeper was kind enough not to kill himself.

The strong have the right to deal with the weak offender in any way they want.

He is still very clear about this.

"You're smart, but you don't understand the real reason."

Roger said calmly.

When Leti heard this, he frowned slightly and felt doubtful.

The real reason?

Isn’t it because I offended his belongings? What other reasons could there be?

Could it be that...

Leti had an idea in his mind, but quickly shook his head in his mind to deny it.

How could a strong man like him be friends with a weak person? That little mermaid was obviously just the other person's pet.

But Rogge obviously had no intention of explaining to him. He had always maintained a simple relationship of exchange of interests with Leti and the Shadow of Fool.

And he didn't intend to continue discussing the matter.

The reason why he appeared was naturally for other things.

"How much do you know about the Little Mermaid?" Rogge asked.

The small conch is the first anchor reward. The feedback given by Lingzhu is [Conch Little Mermaid], and there is almost no other detailed information.

In the subsequent exploration, although Rogge also paid attention to books and documents in various areas, he did not find any relevant information.

But Leti seems to know its origin.

"You mean the conch mermaid?"

Leti thought for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled. He subconsciously wanted to propose an exchange price, but was reminded by the pain coming from his facial muscles and quickly changed his mind.

"This... well, as far as I know, conch mermaids are an extremely weak and rare race..."

"However, before the moment of extinction arrives, they are already close to extinction..."

At this point, Leti glanced at him cautiously, and continued after seeing no reaction from him.

"As for the cause of extinction..."

"...There are many powerful dignitaries who like these little things very much, but they are usually stubborn and will gradually extinguish the fire of their lives because of their bad mood..."

"so……"

Leti did not continue speaking and kept his mouth shut, for fear of accidentally offending Rogge and forcing the players to beat him again.

But Rogge obviously didn't have this intention.

"Are the Conch Mermaid's talents weak?" Rogge asked again.

Leti hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Although I'm not sure, most of them should be, otherwise they wouldn't be extinct."

"I know." Rogge nodded, glanced at him, and left a message: "I will come to you to buy some information after a while."

After saying that, his figure was in Leti's sight.

Watching Rogge gradually disappear, Leti wiped the cold sweat, touched the wound on his face, grinned, and took out the mockery of a fool.

However, just when he was about to go back, he seemed to have thought of something, and paused, frowning.

"That little mermaid..."

"This is impossible. Could it be that..."

He muttered to himself, frowning and thinking for a long time, his expression gradually becoming complicated.

…

After updating a long video, the storyteller felt a lot more relaxed.

Because it means that he won't have to spend a lot of time looking for materials, writing copywriting and editing videos for a long time.

And Lingzhu officials seem to have taken a few days off, which is rare. There are no new copies for the time being, but small updates without downtime are continuous, and some texts are constantly changing.

It seems that they are fixing bugs.

The storyteller came to the Shadow Cave after a long absence. Before that, he also went to the player market of Zhuxin Island.

"Jia Ma, hello." The storyteller habitually greeted the other party.

"...Long time no see." Jia Ma nodded. He seemed to be smiling, but the dark brown ugly keratin covering his body made it difficult to see clearly.

"It's indeed been a long time."

The storyteller smiled. After a long time of getting along, he clearly knew the special way Jia Ma, the NPC, spoke. If the other party said long time no see, it meant that he really felt that he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Has anything happened recently worth being happy about?"

Jia Ma paused for a moment and shook his head: "...No."

The storyteller shrugged and said okay, and then planned to set up the stall to see if there were any interesting customers.

But while he was doing it, Jia Ma next to him suddenly said: "...Just now, Ryan came to see you."

The storyteller was stunned. Ryan came to see him? That must be something!

"Why didn't you say it earlier? I just asked you." The storyteller couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"...This matter is not worth being happy about." Jia Ma paused for a moment and organized his words: "...He looks very anxious."

"..."

The storyteller had a groove in his throat and didn't know how to spit it out, but now was obviously not the time to entangle these things, so he hurriedly asked.

"When did he come? Douzi didn't see Ryan either?"

"Did Ryan say what it was? Or when will he come next time?"

Douzi was one of the players who took over the shift with the storyteller, and Jia Ma naturally knew him.

In response to the storyteller's inquiry

Jia Ma listened carefully, then thought for a long time, and then answered one by one:

"...soon after Douzi left."

"...Douzi left early, so I didn't see him."

"...He didn't say what it was, nor when he would come back."

Jia Ma answered the storyteller's questions slowly but seriously.

The storyteller couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

Damn!

Today, Douzi had to go out to find his girlfriend, so he left early, and he was late because he went to the player market.

And at this time, the anxious Ryan just came, and it seemed that the situation was so anxious that he didn't even have time to wait for his arrival.

How could it be such a coincidence?

"Fuck!" The storyteller couldn't help but curse helplessly.

"Sorry." Jia Ma on the side suddenly apologized: "...I should have called him."

"No, Jia Ma, this has nothing to do with you, and I didn't scold you, don't misunderstand."

The storyteller was a little amused and hurriedly explained, and then sat down in front of the stall depressed.

"What happened to Ryan?"

"Could it be... related to the Extinguishing Pursuer that appeared in Ishamud?"

...

The remains of the battlefield between the two tribes.

"Hahaha! I'm here to fucking fight!"

"I've heard of the Taurus Guards for a long time. Today, I, Hu Hansan, will come to experience how difficult it is!"

"Xiao Ming! It's up to you. Give him a kidney deficiency curse first!"

Zhang Ming's companions were very excited. After waving their hands, they suddenly realized that something was wrong. They seemed to be missing someone?

"Xiao Ming?"

"Xiao Ming?!"

"Fuck, where is Xiao Ming? Didn't he come in with us?"

The two companions were stunned. They clearly saw Zhang Ming coming in with them, but now it seems that he stood them up?

"Could it be that the network is bad and the connection is disconnected?"

"It is also possible that the helmet exploded. I just saw a video yesterday that someone exploded his helmet."

"...What should we do now?"

"Let's wait for a while. If it doesn't work, we can only play other maps. We don't have his contact information."

"Oh, that's right. Last time I asked him to add him, he was hesitant. This guy is so shy, like a little girl."

"What's the matter? Do you like this?"

"Fuck you."

...

[Entering the battlefield...]

[...]

[Attention, you have entered a mysterious area under the influence of an unknown force. ]

[Attention, when you are outside the traction area, some functions provided by the spirit candle will be temporarily invalid, and the milestone spirit candle cannot be lit. Please proceed with caution! ]

[You have received a side quest from the spirit candle - falling into the unknown. ]

[Task description: When you are in the traction area, you are affected by an unknown force, which forces you to come to a mysterious area. What kind of dangers exist in the darkness is still unknown... Explorers, please witness it! 】

[Task requirements: ①Find out where you are. 】

[Task reward: unknown]

"Uh..."

Zhang Ming did not see the prompt in the information column at this time.

Just now, he suddenly stepped on empty air, and then he felt that his chest and back were hit hard several times. Now his chest hurts and it is difficult to breathe.

But fortunately, his pain sense was not adjusted to a high level, so while recovering, he also had the energy to pay attention to the prompts that just popped up in the information bar.

After looking at the semi-transparent small words of [Task Requirements] in his sight and figuring out the current situation, Zhang Ming was immediately confused.

Hey, little bastard, what are you doing here?

Is this still a battlefield relic?

Zhang Ming shouted in his heart.

Of course, he was complaining, but he knew very well that he might have encountered the [dynamic plot] that the legendary big guys often encounter.

He and his companions were still discussing this not long ago!

For a while, he was actually a little happy in his heart.

"Hu... Hu..."

Zhang Ming adjusted his breathing while carefully observing the surrounding environment.

This place looks like a valley, with high sides and low middle, and a dark border behind, and the slopes on both sides look gray.

Moreover, there seemed to be a lot of ash-like substances floating in the air, as if a gray snow had fallen, filling the surrounding environment with a weird atmosphere.

Something that looked like stone was rising and falling slowly and regularly.

What is this thing?

Zhang Ming touched his chin, a little curious.

He wanted to reach out and touch it, but paused in the air. After thinking for a moment, he took out an initial long sword and slowly poked it.

Crash!

The next moment, the gray stone suddenly cracked, and several tentacles covered with spikes stretched out, madly wrapping around the long sword, trying to drag it into the belly.

Zhang Ming's pupils shrank, and he pulled the long sword back fiercely.

The tentacles that lost their target also slowly retracted and resumed their slow rhythm.

"Damn, I was scared..."

Zhang Ming swallowed his saliva, still frightened.

"Fortunately, I didn't touch it directly with my hands... Otherwise, it would definitely be dangerous..."

After a pause, he tried to use the curse eye to make a wax statue of the stone.

Fortunately, he succeeded, and then destroyed it with a curse vision.

"Squeak..."

The strange gray stone uttered a sharp whine, and the tentacles struggled for a while before falling to the ground powerlessly, losing their vitality.

Its disguise was gradually exposed, and it turned into a strange creature similar to a goat.

Zhang Ming was extremely cautious. After stabbing it with a long sword several times to confirm its death, he carefully went forward to check.

It didn't fall.

But there was new information in the prompt bar.

[The spirit candle gave you a new ability - "absorb flame material". ]

[Absorb flame material: In places where the spirit candle cannot bless, you should absorb the flame material of the extinguished fire, so that your own flame can continue to exist in the world. ]

New ability!

Zhang Ming's eyes lit up, and then he activated his ability, and instinctively reached out to the strange gray stone.

He only felt the fire in his chest beat rhythmically, and the war was ignited.

A moment later, a new thing appeared in his hand.

[Obtained: Small piece of residual ash spiritual material × 1]

[Small piece of residual ash spiritual material]

[Type: Special item]

[Effect: Can be used for trading or melted into oneself with war fire to maintain the fire of life. ]

[Description: The lowest level of flame material, the energy it can provide is extremely limited, and experienced warriors usually don't do such thankless tasks. ]

"... It's thankless and you still guide me to do it."

Zhang Ming was a little speechless. He tried to use it and found that the recovery provided by this residual ash spiritual material was indeed extremely limited.

It seems to be just a guiding role.

After taking a breath, Zhang Ming cast his eyes to other places in the valley.

If you want to figure out where this is, you have to leave here first, but the slopes on both sides of you are extremely steep and covered with strange gray stones. It is not wise to climb up by force.

Therefore, there is only one road in front of Zhang Ming for the time being...

Zhang Ming looked around and scratched his head.

"Without guidance and no information about monsters, this is a bit too hardcore..."

"Forget it, let's keep going..."

After sighing, Zhang Ming could only bite the bullet and embark on this unknown and dangerous journey.
