Chapter five hundred and fortieth not a hero
On a dark and dull night, the green bacteria on the pine sand and gravel look particularly beautiful. The sand termites squirming on the surface of the stone look numb, but if you observe carefully, you will definitely be impressed by the diligence and wisdom shown by this seemingly weak creature.
In each dense stone hole, countless worker ants are carefully caring for the strain of green bacteria, and they are tirelessly applying some substance secreted by themselves to the root of the strain. The small tentacles are constantly in contact with each other, as if they are communicating their planting experience, which makes people sigh at the maturity of the virtual technology of "Miracles" and the perfect details.
It is also the termites who work day after day that they can produce these unique treasures of nature.
Based on real experience, Fang Yi suspected that this kind of pine, sand and gravel was actually built by the sand termites bit by bit, but the existing information did not mention these, so Fang Yi did not spend much effort on it. After all, it was a bit whimsical to raise these people-eating termites in the game.
But not everyone knows the fatalities of these sand termites.
***
The breeze blew and several of his companions hid on the edge of the open space, staring at the stones with a faint green light not far away, and occasionally poked their heads out to look around, as if they were waiting for someone, but this place had already penetrated deep into the Valley of Fear, who was coming back here?
Not long after, the answer to this question was found.
Qingfeng Manbiao, hiding in the woods, suddenly moved and made a simple gesture in his hand. The players of "Miracle" knew that this was a standard action for operating the message receiver. Then Qingfeng Manbiao stood up from behind the hiding bushes and walked straight out of the woods to the edge of the clearing.
"Why are you so slow?" Qingfeng Manbiao looked at the dark woods on the right and said in a reproachful tone: "It will be dawn if it is later."
The few people who were with the noble lady were all humans. Without the dark vision of the breeze, I only felt that there was a darkness in front of me, and I could see nothing except the green light.
But soon, the sound of a brisk object passing through the grass came from the direction where the breeze was blowing, followed by a torch that had already lit up in the darkness. The three figures also appeared silently in the range of the fire, which scared several players here - at such a close distance, everyone did not notice that anyone was approaching them at all!
The three players in the fire were all fully armed, and two of them were barbarian players. The tall bodies were wrapped in tight leather armor, which was obviously specially replaced for secret operations in the wild. The leader of the three was an elf demon swordsman. With the torch, he could see that the other party was wearing bright silver armor under his cloak, but it was covered by the cloak so tightly that there was almost no reflection.
"Madam, the road here is not that easy to walk~"
The elf demon swordsman smiled and greeted Qingfeng Man, and his eyes were stopped on the large green light not far away. He was obviously very curious: "Is this the treasure you mentioned? It looks quite intimidating~"
"Okay," Qingfeng Manbiao looked at the time and said coldly to the people: "I paid you to work. Now, we can't let anyone get close to here. If it affects my collection work, the losses caused will not be enough to deduct your salary!"
The tone of the breeze was as gentle as ever, and it was also as always with the arrogance of being high. One of the barbarian players raised their eyebrows and wanted to say to the other party, but the elf demon swordsman just smiled and spoke first.
"Hehe, that's that's it. Who doesn't know that you are the leading alchemist on the entire Dragon Coast?"
The Demon Swordsman was still smiling, but then he changed the subject. "But... you already have a professional escort team. Now you are secretly invited us to come over and want us to kill those colleagues in the woods. If this is spread, our Thorn Crown Team will not be able to stay in this industry. Your old reputation will be more or less affected, right?"
"What do you mean?" Qing Feng Manbiao's round face, which was well maintained, immediately became cold and whispered.
"Hehe, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else... It's just this commission. I think it should be added half of it on the original basis, so that we can have a clear idea when we do the work, right?" The Elf Swordsman grinned, turned his head and looked at the torch in the barbarian's hand, and said pretending to be unintentional.
As soon as these words were spoken, even the other people who stood beside him without saying a word took a breath: This time, I finally found a suitable team in the Fear Valley. The commission that had been agreed upon was 70,000 gold coins, but these people would have to 100,000 at the beginning of their words? This is too dark!
"One hundred thousand gold coins, no problem,"
Qingfeng paused, and a smile appeared on his round face again. However, this time it was not a gentle smile, but a sneer: "But you have to kill all the people in that team, and you have to pretend that you were encountering PK in the wild, so you can't let anyone suspect me!"
"As you wish, my lady~" The elf demon swordsman smiled and bent down to breeze and bowed slightly, "Then let's start~"
...
Fang Yi, who was hiding beside him, was sure that all the scenes had been recorded by himself, so he put away the demo recording function and sneered in his heart: As the saying goes, peers are enemies. Although Lao Dao’s team is not qualified enough, Lao Dao is a real high-end player. I don’t believe that these peers who dare to wander in the Valley of Fear have never heard of Lao Dao.
I'm afraid that Lao Dao's team can be demoted, these people just want to be ~
But I want to do conspiracy? Then I have to ask whether I agree or not—squinted my eyes and looked at the group of people walking towards the middle of the clearing, and Fang Yi had already silently placed it on.
On the way here, Fang Yi had already sent a warning message to Lao Dao. I believe that the players online were already ready to rush out and rushed out to see the bayonets of these despicable sneak attackers.
But Fang Yi had other plans, so he specifically instructed Lao Dao not to act rashly for the time being, which excited the life player who was guarding outside his tent.
Because from the current situation, this old woman obviously knows this kind of green bacteria, and she is a professional, so this kind of work must be like Fang Yi. So Fang Yi plans to follow the other party quietly to see what method this old woman wants to collect these extremely dangerous mushroom foods.
...
The open space was not big, and the breeze blew, and the group soon arrived at the center. In fact, there were more or less green bacteria on the scattered stones outside, but the old woman obviously looked down on the strains that were not yet mature and walked straight to the stone platform in the middle.
Although it was not the first time I saw the scene in front of me, the breeze still couldn't help but get goose bumps. At this time, with the light of the torch, everyone could clearly see the dense sand termites crawling in and out of the stone hole. These small creatures with almost translucent bodies are exactly the same as those of the ants in reality, and they make people feel the urge to step on and crush them to death at a glance.
Qingfeng Manbiao actually doesn't know much about this mysterious strain, the only thing I know is that the green bacteria are very rare. As a professional alchemist, the old woman knows that there is a special branch in alchemy, introducing the special effects of various strains. This professional area and some areas of cooking overlap.
Of course, as a respected alchemist, Qingfeng Manbiao looked down on the chefs who deal with various ingredients all day long, and even despised them. So many rare materials are wasted on eating. What are the skills and futures?
Thinking of this, Qingfeng Manbiao had already squatted down and took out some small tools from the package, then took out a small bottle from it, and began to pour something on the worming stones in the ant colony.
Fang Yi, who was hiding not far away, could see clearly that the termites seemed particularly afraid of what the old woman had scattered. A small circle of termites soon appeared on the stone. The surrounding termites were still wriggling as usual, but they refused to step into this small area even if they died.
Oh my go! It's really a big deal! Even if you don't like this old woman very much, Fang Yi has to secretly praise her. As the saying goes, love each other, at least this old guy has two tricks in his professional life.
The green bacteria strains in the stone holes have grown to the size of fingers, emitting a bright green light in the darkness, which looks strange and charming. The breeze blows and carefully puts one of the strains down, and then puts them seriously in the crystal bottle that had been arranged on the ground.
Several players around were also focused on watching. One of the barbarian players couldn't help but want to reach out to touch these magical fungal creatures, but they didn't expect that the gentle breeze was blowing and they wanted to be touched by someone's butt. They slapped the barbarian's wrist and made a crisp sound in the quiet open space.
"Are you looking for death?" Qing Feng Manchu showed a ferocious expression on his face for the first time, and he stared at the reckless barbarian player fiercely.
"Damn it!..." The barbarians are used to being arrogant, so they would not take an old woman seriously. After a while, they forgot that the Qingfeng Manbiao was his boss, and they stared at him and wanted to open their mouths and scold him.
"Shut up! Stay honestly!"
The elf demon swordsman shouted, and at the same time, he kicked the barbarian's butt, staggered the defenseless barbarian, and kicked the other party's swear words that had not yet been scolded. The seemingly arrogant barbarian was afraid of his captain, so he mumbled a few words and then disappeared.
