Volume 19 Chapter 238 The First Altar
"Is anyone attacking?" I rode on Yeying's back and stopped in the middle of the road and looked around, but after looking around, I didn't see anything threatening.
Just as I was searching around for what was causing the crowds around to panic, the alarm bell suddenly sounded in the city in front of me, which made me even more sure that there must be an enemy invasion in this place. However... just as I was searching around, Ye Ying suddenly moved half a step to the side, and then with a whoosh, a feather arrow passed directly through the place where I had just stood and penetrated more than half a foot deep into the soil.
Seeing this arrow, I immediately realized that someone was attacking me. I quickly discovered the location of the attacker in the direction of the arrow. What surprised me was that it was not a monster or an invader from where I attacked me, but a player standing on the city wall.
When I looked at the player, this guy was pulling a second arrow on the bow, but before he could get the arrow up, Ye Ying and I suddenly disappeared together. Just as he was looking for the target in surprise, he suddenly found that he was covered by a huge shadow. After he turned around with a little doubt, he almost jumped down from the city wall. It turned out that after he turned around, he actually found that I was half a step behind him.
"Why are you attacking me?" I asked first in this guy's panicked expression.
The guy was still surprised at first, but as soon as I finished asking, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he immediately squatted down and pulled out the dagger from his waist and was about to stab me. However, as soon as he pulled out the dagger, his shoulders suddenly felt a sank, and then he was pressed down directly.
I stood on the guy's back and looked around, and confirmed that he was the only one nearby who tried to attack me before walking down from him. The guy immediately rolled to the side after I got off him, then jumped up and planned to attack. However, this time he was greeted by Ye Ying's two hind hooves, and being stepped on by Ye Ying was completely different from being stepped on by me. I was just a fall. After being kicked by Ye Ying, he disappeared from the city wall and flew into the nearby woods.
Without caring about the inexplicable guy, I put away Ye Ying and turned and took a step from the city wall. Since the city in front of me was only village-level, the so-called city wall was actually just a few rows of wood, and the height was only about four meters. I took it out and landed lightly on the ground. After looking left and right, I found that the people nearby were obviously hiding back. I did not realize until now that they seemed to be afraid of me.
I have to understand the reactions of these people. Anyway, there are not only those in the village, so they just need to find a few normal people if they react.
The reason why those people were panicked before was mainly because some people were scared crazy first, and then others just followed blindly. The group relationship broke out, which actually had nothing to do with me. Besides, some people went crazy at that time because Ye Ying's speed and body shape were too shocking, and it really had nothing to do with me. After leaving the city gate, they entered the city. The people here didn't know how I was riding Ye Ying before, so these people's reaction to me was obviously much better. Many people felt strange about me wearing armor, so no one hid me or started fighting with me.
"Sir, sir." I was walking through the main road in the middle of the village when I suddenly heard a voice calling me from the side. After turning my head, I realized that it was a local player. This guy is very young and looks like he is only in his teenagers. His leather armor and other equipment on him mean that he is a hunter pro. When the other party saw me stop and turn his head to look at him, he immediately introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, my name is Sulun, and I am a hunter. I am very familiar with the surrounding environment, and you obviously come from a foreign country. The environment here may be very troublesome for you. If you are willing to hire me, I think I can provide you with a comprehensive and thoughtful guide and information service."
Originally, I meant to casually ask about the existence of witch gods nearby in the city, but compared to randomly asking people to ask, the charging guide is obviously more reliable. Of course, the premise is that the charge is not too expensive.
"How do you charge?"
"Don't know if you need a guide or just want to find out something?"
"I want to find the Witch God. Do you think it's appropriate to take me directly or tell me the location more directly?"
The hunter named Sulun thought for a while and asked, "I don't know if you have a specific target, you need to find a special witch god or just find any witch god?"
"Anything is fine. But I may have to see more than one witch god, but I am not sure how many I need to see it for the time being."
"If this happens, of course it is best to hire a guide. After all, you don't know how many witch gods you want to meet. In terms of charges, we charge twenty crystal coins per hour. If a fight occurs during the journey, I will help, but whoever gets the spoils will be."
"Your charging standard is quite expensive? You can get more money than executives in small companies for twenty crystal coins per hour."
"Of course this is different. If you are just going to a normal place, I may only charge two crystal coins per hour, but you are looking for the Witch God, so we have to go through the advanced monster area so that I may die in it. If I get lost because of this, my losses will be huge, so it is impossible to charge a little higher."
I thought for a while and said, "Okay, just follow your rules."
"Okay, should we set out now or prepare some supplies first? You know, we will suffer if we don't bring insect-proof liquid when we go out here!"
"I can't use that kind of thing, let's just leave."
"Since you said that, let's go. But do you have other equipment? Wearing such armor, even if you are not in a leisurely mood, you will still encounter trouble when passing by some soft mud or swamps."
"You don't have to worry about these things, just take me to the place."
"Okay, but this is your request. If you encounter any trouble, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Okay, go quickly."
After my repeated urging, the guy signed a contract of employment with me, and then we left the city together. It seemed that there were often people hiring guides in their place, because when we left the city, the guy actually met a few colleagues who greeted each other.
"Does many of you ask for a guide?" I asked as I followed the guy through the woodland.
Su Lun smiled and said, "Our here is the city closest to China. Many players from China who come to us will need a guide. After all, you have also seen that we are not like you, and there are many places without roads. If you don't have a guide, the probability of getting lost here is more than 90%.
"No wonder there are so many people at the city gate as guides." I asked again after saying that, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask before. How far is this place from where the witch god lives?"
When Su Lun heard me say this, he quickly explained, "I forgot if you don't say it. I have to explain it to you first. I just took you to the altar of the witch god, not to where he lives. No one here knows where the witch god lives, so I can only take you to his altar. However, the witch gods here are different from those of Buddhist gods. A witch god only has one altar, and it will not be built everywhere like Buddhist temples."
I nodded and said, "It's okay, just take me to the altar. Since the witch god only has one altar, I think he should always pay attention to his altar."
Su Lun nodded and said, "Probably so. Anyway, I have never seen the true body of the Witch God. By the way, I haven't asked the guest what your name is?"
"Purple Sun."
I originally thought that as soon as I heard my name, the other party would immediately react to who I was, but who knew that Su Lun just paused for a while after hearing my name, then shook his head and said, "I heard it very well, but I just can't remember it. Maybe I received too many guests before!"
Su Lun didn't recognize me and I was not disappointed at all. On the contrary, I was quite happy. If he knew who I was, he might have caused trouble. After all, I have different status and it is unlikely that I will be treated as a simple tourist.
While taking me to the destination, Su Lun asked, "By the way, Zi Ri, why are you looking for the Witch God? There are very few players in our country who need to find the Witch God. Even those witch warriors only go to the altar to visit occasionally. I haven't heard of anyone looking for the Witch God."
When I heard his question, I did not answer, but just smiled slightly. After all, Su Lun was not the first day of being a guide, and his ability to observe his expressions was still a bit good. When he saw me just laughed, he immediately knew that I didn’t want to say anything, so he stopped asking questions, but instead talked to me from all over the world. When it comes to the topic, he seemed to be able to chat with the tour guides, and Su Lun was no exception. He would be chatting all the way without stopping. Generally, tour guides like him would pay attention to the habits of the guests. If the guests like to chat, he would naturally say endlessly. If the guests like to be quiet, he would pay attention to only saying necessary reminders and introductions, and not telling other things to the guests. This is also the professional quality of the tour guide.
According to Su Lun's introduction, what we are going to now is the altar of a little witch god. It is only four or five kilometers away from our current location. However, the distance between four or five kilometers is indeed very short on the expressway, but in this primeval forest with almost no roads is another matter. Because there are many fallen trees, huge rocks, mud pits and other things along the way, our route has been turning around. If Su Lun hadn't really known the terrain nearby, I would have been dizzy.
"Guest, you'd better take off your equipment first and go over here." We walked well, and Sulun suddenly stopped in front of a large open area.
I looked at the open space in front of me in confusion, and with my eyes it seemed that there was no difference from where we were standing. Except for the fact that there were no big trees in this area, there was no difference at all.
It was probably not the first time Su Lun encountered a guest like me, so he didn't explain, so he turned around and found a stone as big as a human head nearby and threw it forward. It seemed that it was a sound of a squeak in the open ground covered with fallen leaves. Then half of the stone disappeared as soon as it fell to the ground, and the remaining half was sinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than three seconds, the stone disappeared on the ground, and no trace was left.
Now I don’t need to explain that this is a big mud pit, but I didn’t plan to take off my equipment. Instead, I grabbed Su Lun’s belt and lifted him up, then ran two steps to the edge of the mud pit and jumped up in Su Lun’s panic gaze.
Bang. Just when Su Lun was so scared that he almost screamed, his huge wings suddenly spread out. After slapping them twice, we had already reached the opposite side of the open space. After squeezing their wings and landing them steadily on the ground, I put Su Lun down and asked, "Is there any other problem?"
Su Lun looked at me in surprise and said, "Do you actually have wings?"
"Didn't you see a race with wings when the account was established?"
"But the wings grown by those angels or demons are all decorations, which can be seen but cannot fly."
"My race has wings, and later I got a piece of equipment that allows the wings to fly, and then I can fly."
Su Lun said enviously: "I would have wings too. Although my wings cannot be spread in the woods, where there are monsters, they are usually clearings in the forest. If they can fly, they will definitely be very powerful when fighting."
"Don't think it's too beautiful. Don't look at the wings that fly very handsomely, but the speed of consuming energy is at least six times faster than the starting running. If you added the energy when you first added the points, you would have to exhaust you in a few minutes."
Su Lun immediately said: "Even if you can't fly for a long time, it's better to use it as a jumper to help you occasionally play a few extreme jumps. Do you know that there are so many mud pits here, and if you can jump a little further, how much trouble will it save?"
"Wing props are very rare, you can't buy them with money, so don't dream. Tell me quickly how to go next?"
"No need to leave." Su Lun stretched out and pushed away the branches in front and said, "That's it."
Unexpectedly, the altar was less than ten meters behind the mud pit. However, this place is more suitable than the altar. After passing through the barrier formed by the trees, I saw a circular open space with a radius of seven or eight meters. There was a stone platform in the center of this open space, but the surface of the platform was very cracked and grass grew in the middle. There were four crooked pillars piled with stones on the platform. Although the height of the pillars was less than two meters high in total, I always felt that they would fall down at any time.
