Chapter 73: Qingshui Village
The old man didn't say much, picked up Lu Kuan again, and continued to the east.
Lu Kuan looked back at the people with complicated faces, and shouted at the other party with a smile: "Go back and tell Master Hong, I won't pursue this matter, and next time, it will be time for me to track you and make your treasure hunting operation lively......
The old man's speed was very fast, and it didn't take long for only a black dot to remain, but everyone could hear Lu Kuan's shouting clearly.
"Report the matter to the regiment commander, let's withdraw." The grasshopper commanded with some dejection.
Someone next to him answered and ordered to pass on, but some people didn't give up yet.
"Grasshopper, that old man is obviously a high-level boss, do you want to call the head of the regiment over, let's try it?" Someone was eager to try.
"That's right, you can actually delay it a little longer just now, our main force is coming, and we may not be able to beat it~" Someone immediately chimed in.
The grasshopper glanced at everyone's expressions, and knew that there were not a few people who had the same idea, and shook his head and said, "I haven't daydreamed, haven't you thought of the true identity of the old man?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a confused face.
Grasshopper sighed and said, "You forgot, three days ago, the head of the regiment once took people to the Banyan Grassland to explore the map, and found that a place called Qingshui Village in the east is a neutral town. ”
After being reminded by the grasshopper, everyone remembered it.
"Yes, yes, the guards in that town are all strongmen in their twenties, and they are much more powerful than the guards in other towns."
"I heard that the regiment commander wanted to meet the commander of the town at that time to see if there was a hidden mission, why didn't I hear about it later?"
"Because the commander of Qingshui Village has gone out and has not returned,"
The grasshopper said, turning his head to look at the east side of the grassland: "According to the description of the people in the village, their commander is a mysterious warrior monk, strong in martial arts, about fifty or sixty years old, and used to wearing black clothes......"
When everyone heard the grasshopper say this, they immediately thought of something, and they all subconsciously looked to the east.
Someone couldn't help but mutter: "He is the Great Commander of Qingshui Village?" His subordinates are all level 20 guards, so how many levels does this old man have? Thirty or forty? ”
……
The NPC old man was extremely fast, but in just 10 minutes, the two of them were far away from the waters of the lake and river.
"Old gentleman, we haven't introduced each other yet, my name is Lu Kuan, your surname?"
"Don't patronize the road, let's talk, where do you live?"
"Can you untie the rope for me and I'll walk on my own? I promise never to run away......"
“……”
No matter how Lu Kuan chattered, the old man ignored it, and Lu Kuan was not annoyed, and continued to find topics with a hippie smile.
Now Lu Kuan has completely changed his mind.
From the encounter just now, it can be seen that this old man is not a person who loves to kill, otherwise with his strength, he will definitely be able to easily destroy the opponent.
Therefore, Lu Kuan had the same idea as Master Hong at that time, that is, to find ways to get close to the old man.
According to the basic rules of the game, the probability of this kind of NPC having a hidden mission is almost 100%!
That's it, Lu Kuan said all the way, and in the end, the old man couldn't stand it, and replied angrily: "Boy, don't talk nonsense, or just give me that gem." ”
As soon as Lu Kuan saw that there was a door, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Old man, how can that also be the treasure I worked so hard to find, you can't bear to snatch it directly like this?" ”
"I can trade things for you." The old man didn't hesitate at all, and said directly.
The other party's refreshment was beyond expectations, Lu Kuan thought for a moment, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to exchange anything, can you tell me why you need that gem?" Maybe I can help? ”
The old man glanced down at Lu Kuan, his expression was complicated, and he paused before saying, "Let's talk about it when we arrive." ”
After the old man finished speaking, he kept silent, and when Lu Kuan saw that his goal had been achieved, he quietly did his duty as a captive and kept silent.
Ten minutes later, Lu Kuan found that the old man's speed had slowed down a little, and when he raised his head, he found that the shadow of a mountain range appeared in front of him, and the outline of a small town could be faintly seen at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Kuan looked at the system map and found that the two of them had come to the border of the Banyan Grassland, and beyond the mountain range in front of them was another map.
However, looking at the terrain on the map, Lu Kuan always felt a little familiar, and as he got closer and closer to the town, this familiarity became stronger.
When I came to the gate of the town and saw the dilapidated but unusually tall stone statue in front of the gate of the town, the relevant memories immediately poured out like a tide.
"This seems to be Qingshuizhai? That's right, I've done missions here before, so isn't this old man ......?"
Lu Kuan was desperately searching for relevant information in his head, and the old man had already carried him into the town.
"Grand Commander!"
When the guards at the entrance of the village saw the old man, they immediately stood up straight and saluted the old man, who waved his hand casually, and then put Lu Kuan down and untied the rope.
Even with the old man's superhuman physical strength, he was tired and a little out of breath after running for so long with Lu Kuan.
The old man slowed down a little, and as he walked forward, he said without looking back, "Follow me."
Lu Kuan had no choice, so he could only follow the other party step by step.
Along the way, as long as the people who saw the old man, both men and women, young and old, cheered, and then followed closely, and after a while, there was a "big tail" composed of nearly 100 people behind the old man.
Seeing this scene, Lu Kuan was even more sure of the identity of the old man in his heart: he must be the commander of Qingshui Village, a warrior monk with a level of 40+, Tao Bo!
Qingshuizhai is a neutral town, located some distance from the Lava Castle, and the nearby water monsters are of high level, which could have made it a popular place to stay.
Unfortunately, due to some reasons, this town was removed from the map, and there is no place called Qingshuizhai on the banyan grassland.
……
In the woods on the easternmost edge of the town.
Several tents had been erected in the glade, and the middle of the clearing was tightly enclosed, and a large cat was lying quietly in the shade of the trees, snoring slightly.
It was an adult ancient saber-toothed tiger, more than 4 meters long, even if it didn't count its tail, and its dark gray body rose and fell slightly with its breathing.
Of course, the most conspicuous are the two long and narrow teeth of the saber-toothed tiger, which are terrifying just to look at.
But the saber-toothed tiger in front of him was obviously too thin, and the shape of its ribs could almost be seen through its belly, and its right front toe was very swollen, and black pus and blood kept oozing out.
At this time, Lu Kuan squatted in front of the saber-toothed tiger, looking at the swollen and pus-draining wound, frowning thoughtfully.
