Chapter 118: Lost and regained

After chasing the smoke produced by the Soul Chasing Incense for nearly a hundred kilometers, I finally understood why Taoist Yiwen gave me a Soul Chasing Incense so generously! This Soul Chasing Incense can track the target, but in fact it is useless at all. Just like now, I only got the Soul Chasing Incense and left Tianzhu Mountain after getting the Soul Chasing Incense in the morning. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. I was still chasing the smoke everywhere. If I had known this would happen, I should have asked those soldiers if there were other solutions. After all, this thing was really too troublesome. Although the smoke produced by the Soul Chasing Incense has been

Flying towards the target, but its movement speed is only slightly faster than that of a person hiking. You must know that the other party may be in any place, and the other person is not waiting for me. If he uses the teleportation array to go to another place before the smoke chases him, the cigarette has to turn around and continue chasing him. If the person holding the Soul Chasing Incense is tracking a busy person like me who always runs back and forth around everywhere, he probably will never chase me in his life, because every time the Soul Chasing Incense has reached my position, I will teleport to another place.

"Master, this thing is too slow. When will it take us to follow it like this?" Ye Ying asked me while taking a small step to follow the smoke that was neither too slow.

I was extremely depressed by the speed of this smoke, and now I heard Ye Ying's words, it was even more sad. "Hey... I had known this thing was so fast, I shouldn't have wanted this thing at the beginning!"

"Master." Victoria's voice suddenly sounded during the spiritual contact.

"What are you doing?"

"Actually, I think you made the mistake."

"I'm wrong? What am I wrong?" Victoria's words surprised me.

"It's that soul-chasing incense. I saw that Taoist Yiwen didn't give you a handful because he didn't care about that thing, but that thing was meant to be used one by one."

"What?" was stunned by Victoria, and then she held the big handful of soul-chasing incense in her hand in confusion. "What do you mean is to ignite all this hand at once?"

"No, I mean, every time I click one, it's like using a compass. You can see along the way that the smoke it produces will not turn at all, but will float towards the target direction. So we just need to light a soul-chasing incense, then fly quickly in the direction of its movement for a long distance, and then click again to confirm that the direction is correct. If you accidentally chase it too much, you can't go back and chase it, it's much faster than this, right?"

"Damn, I'll tell you, why did the stingy Taoist Yiwen suddenly become generous? After a long time, this soul-chasing incense is used like this!"

In fact, many things in life are like this. They seem very complicated, but in fact we just got the entry point and direction of force ourselves. As long as we find the right goal, many things are easy to solve.

With Victoria's advice, I immediately took Ye Ying back, then summoned the bird and flew forward for more than a hundred kilometers in one breath before stopping to ignite a soul-chasing incense again. As a result, I found that the smoke produced by the soul-chasing incense was still flying forward. Thanks to Victoria reminded me that if I were still under the smoke, I would have to wait until night to catch up to this place. And if I really chased for so long, I might have to change places halfway. After all, it is unlikely that a player would stay in the same place for several days.

Using this method, I stopped and lit a soul-chasing incense for every 100 kilometers of flight. As a result, I chased for nearly 2,000 kilometers and found that the smoke generated by the soul-chasing incense pointed to my side. Obviously, the flight just now produced a little direction error, and the other party should be nearby, otherwise a little error would not have caused such a large angle to change the direction of the smoke. Because the distance was very close, I did not conduct jumping tracking again this time, but took back the bird and hiked slowly to follow the smoke.

This time I arrived very quickly. After walking a few hundred meters, I found a cliff in front of me. What I expected was that there was a city gate more than ten meters above the ground on the cliff. In front of the city gate was a long guide bridge to facilitate people outside to follow the guide bridge to the same height as the city gate. Looking at the direction of the smoke floating, that guy should be in the mountain behind the city gate. However, this city has such a personality, it really takes time to get in.

I waved the smoke away, and then I carefully moved along the plants in the forest to the edge of the cliff. After activating the invisible function on the cloak and cooperating with the illusion of Emmenis, I immediately climbed up the cliff and gradually moved along the cliff wall to the city gate.

In fact, my target is not that city gate, but a row of small holes on the city gate. The city gate was built on a cliff, which means that the inside of the mountain should have been hollowed out and built into a city. If the row of small holes is not a vent, it must be a shooting port. No matter which one of them is, it must be a line inside the city. It is enough to know this.

Since the row of small windows is still a little far from the city gate below, and the players and NPCs coming and going down rarely look up and looking up, and with my invisible ability, no one could find me at all. I moved smoothly to the edge of the small window and then carefully stuck it up. The window was not completely open. The outside was a hole similar to a square chiseled out of the cliff, which was about the size of a seventeen-inch monitor screen. The slim assassins and mages could squeeze in. Warriors like me who were wearing armor would definitely not be able to enter. Moreover, there was a wooden board on the inside of the window, and the situation inside could not be seen from the outside.

Looking at the hole, I thought for a moment and took out Eternity, and then turned Eternity into a bow-type hand drill. This type of drill is usually used by carpenters. There is a bow-shaped crossbar on the main drill, and there are belts and drill rods at both ends. Just pull the crossbar back and forth with your hands to make the drill bit rotate quickly. The advantage of this thing is that it does not require extra power, it is purely manual operation, and the attention will not cause too much movement.

After making a small hole in the wall with eternal sharpness, I stuffed a ghost bug into the hole. After passing through the half-meter-thick wall, the ghost beetle quickly climbed into the interior of the passage. This was a corridor-like passage. The inner side of the mountain was the wall, and the outer side was square windows, and the thing behind the window was the cannon. Those windows were not vents at all. They were all firing ports, and they were also firing ports of cannons. These cannons were hidden in the mountain. When fighting, just push the cannon body forward and extend the cannon barrel out of the mountain, and it could easily attack a large area outside. It was difficult for the enemy to aim at the cannon hidden in the mountain. Even if it hits, with the half-meter-thick granite exterior wall outside and some simple spell blocking devices, it is estimated that unless it is a large magic cannon, ordinary weapons will be difficult to damage the cannon inside.

Now the corridor full of cannons is basically empty, but through the sight of the ghost beetle, I saw two NPC guards chatting by a small door. It was obviously a passage to the inside of the mountain, and these two NPCs belonged to the duty staff.

There is one thing that NPC is good, that is, it will not be resurrected. If there are two players standing there, I have to find a way to get around, because even if the player is killed, he will be resurrected in the Resurrection Hall. After resurrection, he can still call the police, so it is quite difficult to deal with player guards. Relatively speaking, NPC is much easier to deal with. As long as the attack process is clean and neat, don’t be discovered, and there is no need to worry about triggering the alarm. However, although everyone knows that NPC guards are unreliable, few guilds use players as guards to stand guard. After all, everyone comes to play, and others go out to level up and do tasks and have fun making you stand alone here. Would you like to? Because everyone doesn’t like to stand guard, so except for knowing in advance that someone is coming to attack, there are few guilds use players to stand guard. This place is obviously in the general situation.

After confirming the positions of the two NPCs, I climbed to a window near the two NPCs, and then used the ghost beetle to help me see the opportunity. While the other party was not looking here, I suddenly lifted the wooden board covering the window. The two flying knives flew out almost at the same time and shot the two NPCs who turned their heads because they heard the sound. The handleless flying knives pierced through the eyes and inserted them into their heads, leaving no chance to shout at them.

I quickly jumped into the passage and closed the window, hid the body beside the door behind the cannon, and then quickly approached the gate and listened carefully. The door was extremely quiet outside, and it seemed that there was no enemy. However, in order to prevent it, I carefully pushed the door open a small gap and then put a ghost beetle out. After the ghost beetle confirmed that it was safe outside, I opened the door and entered the passage behind.

Behind the room with cannons was a crisscrossing authentic network. Under the reconnaissance of the large number of ghost beetles I released, I easily figured out the route and personnel location here. After avoiding those people and easily crossing the passage, I entered the city through a small door.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I was stunned by the scene in front of me. After seeing the uniquely designed gate and defense system outside, I thought the mountain would be a magnificent underground city, but who knew that this place was actually a huge refugee camp. There was indeed a large space inside the mountain, but there was no large building. Various half-tents and half-house buildings composed of wood frames and canvas squeezed the space inside the mountain, and various rock fragments and domestic garbage piles were everywhere, and there was no sign of any order. This place was not a city at all, it was a huge refugee camp.

Although I was stunned by the situation in front of me, I did not forget my purpose. I found a not-so-observant position and took out a soul-chasing incense to light it. The smoke quickly condensed and floated towards a temple-like building composed of large stone slabs and wood in the center of the city. After waving the smoke for a few seconds, I climbed directly along the wall to the top of the dungeon cave, and then quickly climbed above the building on the dark cave. After fixing the front end of the dragon tendon rope to the top of the cave, I pulled the cable and slowly landed on the top of the building. With my wrist shaking, the rope head automatically released and retracted.

The two floors of the three-story building under my feet are completely made of stones. The structure looks very rough, and it feels like they are piled up with a few stones temporarily. As for the wooden house on the top floor, it barely looks like a house, but its "luxury" level is at most, it is Hunter's hut-level. There are even uncut branches on the houses made of almost entirely of logs. If it weren't for the mountain, it might have leaked inside. It can be said that this house is completely in line with the style of this city, and that feeling is good It was like someone putting a piece of uneven gold with uneven surfaces without any regular shape on his head as a decoration. Although everyone knows that gold is very valuable, the raw ore that has not been processed is not beautiful anyway. This is the case in front of him. Hollowing the mountain belly is an extremely huge project, and being able to build such a solid and heavy city gate outside further illustrates the level of construction here. However, the inside of the city that has been created with such great effort has turned into a slum, which is really incomprehensible.

Although I can't figure out the situation, my most important goal now is not the construction level of the people here, but the guy who stole my things. After lighting a soul-chasing incense, I directly canceled the invisibility after determining the target position for the last time. I sneaked in before not because I was afraid that the people here would be besieged me, but because I was afraid that the snake would scare away the guy. Now that I found the target, there is no need to disguise it anymore. The strategy is just a means that only when the weak defeats the strong. When you are far stronger than the opponent, you don't have to waste time calculating anything. It is the easiest and most effective way to directly destroy all the opponent's defenses with the force of Mount Tai.

After the invisibility disappeared, I directly waved the Eternal Sword and slashed downwards. With a loud bang, I slashed the entire roof and fell into the room with the broken logs.

I was shocked by the people in the room who fell from the sky, and I was stunned for a moment. I originally thought that the guy who had my stuff was in the room, but unexpectedly, there were only three women sitting on a wooden bed in this room. They seemed to be chatting before, but now they were all looking at me in surprise.

Those women and I were staring at each other, and suddenly we heard a shout from below the stairs next to us. "What's going on above? Huanmeng, Sisi, are you okay?" With the shouting, a player from the knight profession ran up from below, but before he could care about the three women, he discovered me standing on the other side. "Zi Ri?"

"Zi Ri?" The man who followed the man screamed immediately when he heard my name. When he saw me, the guy immediately screamed and turned around and ran down, and shouted in his mouth: "Run quickly! Zi Ri is here again!"

Although I don’t know what the people above have to do with that guy, I don’t plan to care about the people above now, because the guy who escaped was the president of the guild who stole my things. Seeing him running away, I directly inserted Yong Heng into the ground and drew a circle beside me. The stone slab on the ground was like tofu, and I cut a big round hole into the lower layer with the cut stone slab. At this time, the guy just ran to this staircase. It was just a mouth. When I saw me suddenly falling through the floor, he immediately screamed and didn't even walk on the stairs. He jumped directly to the bottom of the stairs. Seeing that he was still running, I broke through the floor on this floor again and fell directly to the first floor. The position where I was standing just blocked the door. The guy was so scared that he retreated back halfway. There were a few people standing beside him, and they all saw that the badges were all from their guilds. And these people obviously recognized me, and they all retreated to the wall on the other end of the room in fear.

"Am I that scary? Why do you run away when you see me?"

They didn't take my words seriously at all, but became even more afraid. In the end, I wondered if the fear broke through the critical point. One of the soldiers suddenly shouted: "Everyone rushed over together, run away and counted on one."

As he shouted that sentence, he and other members around him suddenly rushed over together. I was a little surprised at their reaction. Last time, I knocked down so many people alone outside the small village of their guild, and they dared to rush up. It was really a frustration.

"Where are you trying to go?" Looking at the sword blade that the fastest player swung over, I casually stretched out a hand and gently pinched it and firmly controlled the long sword in my hand. No matter how hard the player struggled, I couldn't pull it out.

"Don't get entangled with him." A female player next to her was very fast and did not attack me at all. She just rushed past me and rushed out. However, she suddenly screamed and flew back at a faster speed than when she went out. The king and the second emperor walked in from the door and stood there and just blocked the entire gate.

"Damn, I'm fighting with you!" A warrior suddenly exploded and suddenly waved the battle axe in his hand and chopped me up, but his axe was forced to stop as soon as he was raised to the top of his head, because the eternity in my hand had turned into a hook and sickle spear, and the tip of the gun was pressed against his throat.

"Who else wants to try it?"

Frightened by my strength, the room became silent for a while, and no one dared to move. After all, as long as I wanted to kill them, they would not even have a chance to react. However, the stalemate situation ended for only a few seconds, because the male knight upstairs walked down with three other women.

"President Zi Ri, can you put down your weapon first?" The knight first looked at the situation on the field, and then asked. I looked at him. Although I was very disdainful, I still took back Eternity and loosened the sword of the player I had pinched before, and the other party quickly retreated to the middle of his own people. Seeing that they had returned to their own camp, I was about to ask about my things, but I didn't expect the knight to speak again. "President Zi Ri, I know that your Frost Rose Alliance is very powerful, but this is my territory after all. Don't you think you have done a bit too much?" Seeing my puzzled gaze, he pointed to the hole on the top of my head.

I looked at him in disgust, but said, "I will compensate you for the damage. I, Zi Ri, don't like to owe anything to others, but the premise is that you are not involved in their actions."

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about compensation." The knight walked forward two steps and stood before everyone said, "Do you think it's okay to break into other people's territory without the consent of others to destroy other people's things and hurt his guests, just compensation?"

I almost fainted by the knight's words. "Are you sure you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course." The Knight said with certainty: "I don't know how you understand, but I don't think it's enough to break into someone else's territory just by saying a little apology or compensation."

"It seems that I understand it right, but you are really just an idiot."

"Why are you scolding me?" This time, the one who spoke was one of the three women.

"I'm not swearing, but stating the facts." I said first before the other party continued to speak: "Do you really understand what the Frost Rose Alliance represents?"

"A guild." The woman said inexplicably.

I smiled and shook my head. "So I said he is an idiot, but it seems that he is not the only idiot here!"

"Who are you scolding?"

"I said, I didn't scold people, I was just saying the facts. You didn't understand my identity, nor what the Frost Rose Alliance represents, nor what your own identity and your guild represents."

"Okay, then what do you mean by your identity? What does your guild represent? What do we represent?"

"My identity is the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, the first in the world's combat power list, and the Frost Rose Alliance represents strength. We are a group of proud lions, and you are just a group of rabbits. They..." I pointed to the president. "This group of hateful jackals stole my prey, and I am chasing them. As for you, it is just a group of rabbits that happened to be implicated. You are not even qualified to enter the lion's group for recipes, but you now want the lion to compensate your rabbit hole, and you have to include compensation such as mental loss and personality insults. I really don't know if I am stupid or you are stupid. Don't you think it's funny to have rabbits asking for mental loss from the lion?"

"After you say that we are incompetent, okay, today I will let you see how powerful we are." The woman suddenly reached out and took out the longbow behind her and put an arrow on it, but before she could shoot it, the president next to her screamed.

"No, he..."

He obviously shouted one step slower, and the arrow had already shot out, but I was pinched in my hand the next second. "The head is good, but unfortunately the speed is too slow and the strength is not enough. The most important thing is that there is no magic effect. You wouldn't think that this thing can shoot me to death, right?"

"Wow, he can actually catch your arrow!" What I almost fainted was that after the woman shot the arrow, the other two women beside her and the knight actually started to scream together.

"Hey, hey, are you guys coming from the neurological hospital?"

"President Zi Ri." The president suddenly calmed down, then blocked the women and the knight and said, "You just want to get back your stuff when you chase this. Am I right?"

I smiled and nodded and said, "Will you have nothing to do if you do this? But seriously, I really want to know who they are. Here..." I pointed to my head. "Is there a problem?"

The president looked at the people behind him, and seemed to have something to hide. "This has nothing to do with you. Just pretend that the situation just now has not happened! Some of those things have been sold, but most of them have been hidden by me. I can take you there immediately. But you have to make sure you won't make things difficult for them anymore."

"Don't worry, I won't be as knowledgeable as mentally retarded people. After all, I'm a normal person, so it's time to give in to them. Of course, if they take the initiative to cause trouble for me, don't blame me. I don't like the feeling of being ridden on my head. In addition, it's certain that you have to hand over what you hide to me, and you have to tell me who you have sold the sell part to."

The president seemed a little hesitant, but finally nodded. "Okay. Let's go."

"Slow down." The knight jumped out again at this time. "You smashed our house and haven't paid yet!"

Hearing the guy's words, the president quickly turned around to cover his mouth. I shook my hand and threw the dragon thigh rope out and wrapped it around the president's waist. He pulled him hard and pulled him to me, then grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the room. As for the knight, I was not even interested in talking to him. According to my observation, these people here are probably disabled, and the knight and the three women should be mentally retarded. As for the president, it seems that he is responsible for taking care of these people. According to these clues, the image of a kind person who is making money to take care of mentally retarded children appeared in my mind. This is also the reason why I was suddenly so polite to that guy. According to my usual habit of keeping hair from geese, it would be a ghost that I dared to take the initiative to steal my things if I didn't strip him naked even his underwear.

"Don't worry about him, take me to find my stuff."

"Okay." I found that I didn't care, so the president immediately took me out of the city. Although the guy behind me was still following him, I didn't care about them at all. It was all because of the beautification effect of the character system of "Zero". If I could tell at a glance that they were not normal people, I wouldn't have to work so much.

He jumped on Ye Ying's back with one hand, and then drove Ye Ying to quickly rush out of the strange city. "Guiding the way."

"there."

Following the president's guidance, Ye Ying ran past all the way, and soon we stopped next to a small waterfall with a drop of only three or four meters.

"Where is the stuff?"

The president walked to the waterfall and walked directly through the waterfall. Only then did I realize that this was a place similar to a water curtain cave. After retracting Yeying and following him, I found that the hole behind the waterfall was very deep. The president had walked forward for more than a hundred meters. I quickly accelerated my pace and followed.

The hole rose slightly from the entrance, and then began to tilt downwards all the way. At the beginning, the inclination was not large. After walking three or four hundred meters, it suddenly turned into a vertically downward deep well, and there was no bottom at all when you looked down.

"You hid the thing underneath?" I asked at the deep well, who was only one person wide.

The president nodded. "This is the cave we discovered during a mission. There is a cave group connected below, and the things are hidden at the entrance of the cave group."

I looked down at the hole below again, and then summoned the king to let him jump down first, and then let the president go down, and I was at the end, so I was stuck in the middle, so I was afraid that he would use some tricks halfway. But this time, I was obviously thinking too much, and he was very honest all the way to the bottom of the hole, but in order to prevent me, not only did I not take back the king, but also let Bai Lang and Ye Yue out.

"Where is the thing?" Looking at the crypt that suddenly became wide and became very wide, I turned around and asked the president.

"It's right there." The president took me to the edge of the hole wall next to me and pointed at a huge rock, saying, "It's right behind it."

I turned my head and signaled it. The king immediately stepped forward and grabbed the edge of the rock and pulled it back. With a loud bang, the huge rock fell down, revealing a few square meters of space dug out by hand, and a pile of boxes were neatly piled up in the center of this space.

When I saw those things, I immediately ran over excitedly and opened the top box. "Haha, it's what I want." The box was filled with the metal split from the Virgin of the Golden and Stone.

The president explained later: "The rest are all gems, and we sold them directly. Because we couldn't figure out what kind of treasures they were, we were afraid that they would sell them cheaply, so we didn't rush to sell them."

"You can settle the accounts." I struggled to move the boxes on it out, and then summoned the demon pets to move out all the remaining boxes and unboxed them one by one. As a result, everything was normal. The boxes were full of metals, which were probably dozens of tons together. After checking the metals and throwing them all into the Phoenix Dragon Space, I asked the president again, "How much did you sell those gems?" I mean, if they were not very valuable, I wouldn't chase them. Anyway, my real target was only these metals. Although the gems were also valuable, if the quantity was not particularly large, there was no need to recover them.

The president probably guessed what I meant and immediately replied: "There are thirty-one gems in total, and the quality is pretty good. He sold more than 30,000 crystal coins in total. If you don't believe it, you can go to the exchange to check the records."

I waved my hand and said I was too lazy to care about this, and then I planned to leave here, but I just turned around and suddenly shook. "What's going on?"

The president looked back and said indifferently: "It's okay, we've happened several times, and there may be magma tubes nearby."

"Oh." I nodded and planned to leave, but the vibration suddenly began to grow bigger and bigger. In the end, I could clearly feel something was rushing towards us at a terrifying speed. I pulled the president and asked, "Does this kind of sound often appear?"

The president shook his head with fear and said, "I don't know, this is the first time I have heard this sound."
Chapter completed!
