Xiao Zhi was walking in the mountains and forests, and mobs such as poisonous snakes and insects would pop up from time to time on the way, all of which were easily resolved by him and became part of the experience bar.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhi's footsteps stopped slightly.

There was a sound from the grass ahead, as if there was something inside.

Xiao Zhi raised his staff and cautiously approached the direction of the sound, but unexpectedly found two short legs thumping in the grass.

The two short legs looked like wooden branches. Looking down the short legs, they found that the rest of the thing was buried in the soil, leaving only the two legs struggling helplessly outside.

It looks like it's weak.

Xiao Zhi was a little relieved, reached out and grabbed the short leg and pulled this thing out of the soil.

The one who was pulled out was a Wood Spirit Race. He had a round body and short limbs. On the top of his head were a few dark green leaves, which looked like some unknown little green vegetables.

Xiao Qingcai shook the mud on her head, gave Xiao Zhi an elegant Qianye noble salute, and then said innocently: "Thank you~ kind passerby, my name is Qianye Wu, and I am the country of Qianye. The crown prince, you will definitely grow thick and long in the future!"

Xiao Zhi: "..."

It sounds weird, and it feels a little familiar.

After looking at this little green vegetable again, Xiao Zhi suddenly remembered.

Six hundred years ago, the crown prince of Chiba Kingdom seemed to be called Chiba Wu. Some players on the forum said that although this guy has a cute appearance, he is actually a person who cares about players all day long. guy.

Unexpectedly, after 600 years, Qianye Wu is still the crown prince, and his hobby of pretending to be cute and driving has not changed in the slightest.

The Wood Spirit Clan deserves to be a race with a long lifespan. don’t know if Qianye Wu will have a chance to succeed in a thousand years.

Xiao Zhi looked at Qianyewu's seemingly innocent eyes, and also showed a gentle smile with a bookish air, and said calmly: "Thank you, but I am thicker and longer than you now."

As if he hadn't noticed anything.

Chiba Wu froze: "..."

He looked at Xiao Zhi's gentle smile without the slightest flaw, and he was confused. Is this person racing with him? Or maybe he just answered with his own words.

Qianye Wu looked at his thin arms and legs like chopsticks, and his body that was not yet at Xiao Zhi's knee height, it seemed... that was not wrong.

Chiba Wu, who felt that he was not thick enough, changed the subject decisively: "Cough cough... It's like this, I had an accident when I was out, and I got separated from my guard. I don't know the kindness of Mr. Asanasi. Don't want to escort me back to Wangshu?"

The next moment Xiao Zhi received a system prompt: "Whether to accept the hidden quest 'Return to the King Tree', prompt: After accepting this quest, he will voluntarily join the Qianye Crow camp, and he will no longer be able to join the Qianye Blue camp."

Xiao Zhi's eyes glanced at Chiba Wu who pretended to be calm.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly ordinary escort is actually a hidden task, and there is a camp reminder. Combined with the situation that Chiba Wumingming was the crown prince but ran to the edge of the border alone, there was a chance that something had happened to Chiba.

If you push it further down, Chiba Wu's side is still the weaker side in this matter.

accept? Or refuse?

As a weak, pitiful and helpless low-level wizard, Xiao Zhi of course chose to accept it.

Hidden quests represent a lot of experience and rich rewards. As a player, there is nothing not to be tempted by it. What's more, whether it is experience or other rewards, it is exactly what Xiao Zhi needs at present.

Compared with going to Chiba to move bricks, completing a hidden mission is naturally a more profitable choice, but it also has greater risks.

"Player '7654321' has joined the faction 'Chiba Crown Prince', the current number of players in this faction: 1"

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Is this crown prince being a little too out of line?

Seeing Xiao Zhi nodding to him, Qianye Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the leaves above his head stretched a little.

He looked at Xiao Zhi: "Mr. 7654321, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory reward, but after the task is completed."

It sounds a bit stingy, but it is a very common situation in Dazemenia.

Because the players, that is, the Asanaxi people, have similar reputations on the mainland as the profiteer Xiyue Clan. They are the model of the mother who has milk. Whoever gives the most benefits will stand on the side. There is no lower limit and it is difficult to win over. .

Other races on the continent have a consensus: at a critical juncture, as long as they are willing to give chips, they will definitely get the help of the Asanaxi people who will sacrifice their lives, but once there is no benefit, they will instantly change their faces, scum and ruthless.

Not only players will be pitted by other races on the continent, in fact, they have pitted others a lot.

Xiao Zhi didn't bother about getting paid now, he asked Qianye Wu: "If you want me to escort you to Wangshu, you also want to explain the current situation to me?"

Qianyewu tried to pretend to be stupid: "Huh? It's just that I got separated by accident."

Relying on the fact that he was the only player in the opponent's camp, Xiao Zhi said ruthlessly, "If I don't tell the truth, I'm leaving. Maybe Wang Shu has a better-paying job."

Hearing that Qianye Wu was in a hurry, he took small steps with his short legs, quickly rubbed against Xiao Zhi, pulled the corner of his clothes, and said in a pitiful tone, "Don't, don't, don't! There is something to discuss. ~”

Xiao Zhi looked at him, unmoved, acting like a ruthless scumbag.

After a stalemate for a while, Qianye Wu couldn't hold back, who told him that he really needed the help of the other party now.

He drooped the little leaf and said, "That...that's it. Recently, there was friction between Chiba and the orc tribe in the Changyue Desert, and my father brought the elite troops there. My brother Chiba Lan took advantage of my father to go out. , just... just want to be the crown prince..."

Xiao Zhi thought for a while: "Rebellion? It seems that there has been such news before."

It seems that have seen such a post on the forum, but didn't read it carefully at the time.

Chiba Wu said: "Well... Last time it was Brother 6, last time it was Brother 66, this time it was Brother 666, it's different."

The reproductive ability of plants has always been terrifying. As soon as the seeds are planted, it is impossible to know how many offspring. Naturally, there are many members of the royal family.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

He remembered that Chiba Wu seemed to be ranked 700. How unpopular is this crown prince? !

Xiao Zhi tried to calm himself, he asked, "Why did Qianye Lan rebel, do you know?"

Chiba Wu thought for a while: "Probably... I want to develop green onion farming under the king tree, right?"

Xiao Zhi: "..."

You are really talented...

Is it too late to tie this guy to his brother 666?

At this moment, Qianye Wu suddenly approached Xiao Zhi and took a closer look.

After a while, his brows furrowed: "You seem weak?"

Indeed, Xiao Zhi's current level is only level 50, and he doesn't have a piece of high-quality equipment. No matter how he looks at it, he is a weak adventurer.

But he didn't panic at all, and said lightly: "But I'm your only choice now."

At present, the location of the two of them is very remote, and he is sure that it is difficult for another player to appear within a few hours of the distance.

Chiba Wu: "..."

Damn, he feels that he has been reversed, why is this Athanasi person so treacherous, does he really not have the blood of the Xiyue clan?

Suddenly, the grass not far from the two made a rapid rustling sound, and the sound was constantly approaching their position at a very fast speed.

In a moment, it was close at hand.

The two of them couldn't help but look towards the direction where the voice came from, and saw a ferocious face suddenly protruding from the dense and one-person tall grass.

That thing is three-pointed like a human, but it is mainly composed of dead branches and leaves of plants, mixed with the mutilated bodies of some unknown creatures after the decay, and some stones.

It opened its mouth wide and made a hoarse cry at the two of them.

"Luo, Luo, Luo... Luo Shiku!" Qianyewu was so frightened that the leaves on his head shrank, and he started to circle around in place, "It's over, how did you come across this thing."

Xiao Zhi still had some impression of Luo Shikuo.

This is an undead creature in the plant system, composed of various dead animal and plant stumps in the forest.

Luo Shikuo has no thinking ability, but will devour all living things by instinct. After being scattered, it will regenerate after a period of time, and then continue the process of wandering and devouring.

It can be called a plant version of the in-situ resurrection zombie.

Not only is the skin rough and fleshy, but also very poor. After struggling for a long time, there will be no valuable drops in the end.

One more thing, this thing... is a group hunting.

The next moment, more rustling sounded, and another five stone skeletons appeared from the grass. They came from all directions around Xiao Zhi and Qianye Wu, forming an encircling circle that encircled the two of them.

Qianyewu sat on the ground in despair, tears pouring out: "Wuwuwu it's over."

He looked at Xiao Zhi and felt that this guy was so weak that he could not be trusted.

After thinking about it for a while, he whispered: "It, it, they prefer to eat fresh meat like me, you better run first, woo woo... Please tell my father that I died in a heroic battle..."

Xiao Zhi glanced at him: "A six-hundred-year-old fresh bastard?"

Chiba Wu: "..."

He was going to sacrifice himself for others, but this guy still despised his age? ! Do not you upset! !

Luo Shikuo had already rushed towards the two of them, Xiao Zhi stopped talking nonsense with Qianye Wu, raised his hand and threw the fireball technique out.

Chiba Wu saw the treacherous, weak Asanaxi who had fooled him raise his staff, and then released six fireballs in a row with almost the same movement.

The fireballs seemed to have been compressed, becoming smaller but higher in temperature, and each one accurately hit the hollow eye socket of a Luoshi skull.

Of the six fireball techniques, none of them was wasted.

Although Luo Shikuo has rough skin and thick flesh, and is not afraid of physical and magical damage, everything has weaknesses, and Luo Shijiao is no exception. Their weakness is the almost invisible soul stone in the eye socket.

The soul stone is the core of the strength of the skeleton, and it is also the center of their body, and all the stumps and leaves are formed around it.

The fiery fireball rushed into Luo Shi Skeleton's empty skull and exploded directly inside.

With the explosion of the fireball, the connection between the soul stone and the body was temporarily cut off, and several stone skeletons did not move. After a while, their bodies composed of animal and plant parts suddenly spread out, exuding an unpleasant rancid smell.

Before the Luo Shikuo were resurrected on the spot, Xiao Zhi grabbed Qianye Wu on the ground and ran, so fast that he didn't look like a mage at all.

"Wow!!" Chiba Wu excitedly shook the leaves on his head, "It's amazing! You must be a thick and long guy!"

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Qianye Wu excitedly followed Xiao Zhi's arm and climbed onto his shoulder: "You are so powerful, I'll call your father!"

Xiao Zhi: "..."

What kind of old unfilial son is this?Have you ever thought about the feeling of King Chiba?

He still wants to live a few more years, and he doesn't want to be on the wanted list of Chiba and Hessen at the same time.

Xiao Zhi said with difficulty: "Don't, just call the seventh brother."

The author has something to say: Asen: What happened to the fresh and tender ** who is more than 600 years old?

Xiao Zhi:  …
