Thousand Miles of Knowledge: 12 Underground Sleepers
On the edge of the Idora Forest, there is a mobile acropolis. Although the area is small, it has all kinds of equipment. There are restaurants, hotels, weapon shops, charging stations, auction houses, etc. The best place for psychics to rest, trade and replenish supplies.
Because it's close to a dirty place, ordinary people basically don't set foot there, except for some daring businessmen.
The price of selling items in the Mobile Acropolis is several times more expensive than in the city, while the purchase price is several times cheaper. Many people are willing to do business with these merchants in order to save time. Driven by huge interests, there are not a few people who dare to take risks.
The door of the Acropolis restaurant was gently pushed open, and two figures, one large and one small, entered. The older one was about seventeen or eighteen years old. His brown hair was a little messy, and his eyebrows were half hidden under his drooping hair. The strange thing is that he can't feel the power fluctuations in him. That kind of dangerous breath that makes the scalp tingling is definitely not what an ordinary person should have.
The little girl next to it is even more strange. If it is in the city, it is not surprising for such a little girl to appear, but this is the boundary of the land near the turbidity, and there are so many power users on the scene, the light energy oppression can Ordinary people couldn't move, but this little girl didn't change her face, she walked to the table and sat down without looking sideways, as calm as an old man who had been through the storm.
How can such a strange combination not attract attention?
Qianli didn't want to enter the city at first, but unfortunately there is no supply station nearby, so the food is easy to talk about, but the hover car and computer must be recharged.
I scanned the restaurant with my senses. There were about forty or fifty people, including a woman, tall and muscular, with a weapon on her waist and a cylindrical metal object buckled on her right arm. , I feel just one word: handsome.
In addition, Qianli also found that among the people present, two people were carrying things she was extremely familiar with, which were two of the many spiritual tools she sold.
Sitting at the table, Qianli pressed a few keys on the desktop screen, ordered a large portion of cooked meat for Char, and ordered a normal set meal for himself.
People in the restaurant looked at the two of them from time to time. Qianli didn't care about other people's eyes, and she couldn't see it anyway. The only thing to worry about is Char. For a year, she still hadn't studied him thoroughly, whether it was his energy mutation or his personality.
When the meal came to the table, most people turned their attention. Obviously, the female power user was more attractive to men.
"Miss, how about coming over for a drink?" A chestnut-headed man laughed at the beautiful woman with a wine glass.
The beauty just gave him a cold look and ignored it.
The man was unrelenting, he simply walked up to the beautiful woman, put his hand on the chair, and wanted to get up to tease. Before the beauty moved, one of her companions stood up, stood in front of Li Zitou, and said angrily, "Get out!"
The next development can be imagined. Most of the superpowers are aggressive and domineering masters. They are powerful and have a high status, and they are naturally unscrupulous when they do things. Whoever has the bigger fist is the boss.
After a while of shouting and scolding, the two sides changed from a small conflict to an armed fight.
Not only did the people around them not stop them, they also cheered and booed.
Qianli sighed in his heart, unable to live without a meal. She remembered a sentence: where there are people, there is a struggle.
Fortunately, the place where she and Charl ate was relatively far away, so it should not be affected for the time being. She accelerated her meal and planned to leave as soon as she finished eating.
Charle is also not interested in the fight over there, biting at the meat in his hand.
At this moment, an energy beam shot in the direction of Qianli at an extremely fast speed. The people in the middle all dodged aside, and Qianli turned her back to everyone. Seeing that the energy beam was about to penetrate her head, others even There was no time to shout "Be careful", and the scene full of brains was about to appear in the next second.
Who knows, Qianli lowered his head as if he had been prepared for a long time, and managed to dodge this sharp blow. The energy beam passed only five millimeters away from her, and directed towards Char, who was on the opposite side. Fly away.
Charle lifts his hand and places the energy beam in the palm of his hand like a balloon. When he closes his fingers, the energy beam dissipates in the air.
This action is too heavy and light, and the energy is invisible in the wave of the hand.
Everyone around was stunned, and both sides of the fight stopped. For a while, the restaurant was silent.
The energy beam just now can knock down at least one mid-level turbidized beast, and it also has great lethality to the supernatural beings. Who would have thought that someone would be able to block it with bare hands? This man's hand is not a human hand, right?
Let's not talk about this man, the little girl's dodge just now was also very strange. She seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, and the time and angle of dodge were just right.
Sure enough, these two people who seem to have no abilities are unusual. How can people who appear in the mobile acropolis be ordinary?
As soon as the fight over there came out like this, it ended hastily. Originally, there was no deep hatred, just idle panic and nothing to do.
After returning to calm, everyone in the restaurant looked at the two with a little more exploration and fear.
Qianli is secretly complaining, she will be desperately trying to appease Char, who is about to explode.
This guy hates being disturbed while he's eating. If Qianli wasn't there, he'd probably have rushed over there long ago.
Those people don't know yet that they have inadvertently avoided a fatal accident.
After eating in a hurry, Qianli was about to leave with Char, but at this moment, someone walked towards them, and it was one of the teammates of the beautiful girl.
"Hello, I'm Fang Zhen, the head of the Seven-leaf Mercenary Corps, can I have a few words?" The visitor looked at Char and asked politely.
Charle stared at him coldly, until his scalp went numb and the chill ran up.
Qianli said, "Hello, what's the matter? My brother can't speak, just tell me."
Fang Zhen took a deep breath, looked at the little girl in front of him and said, "That's it, I wonder if you have a regular mercenary group?"
"No."
"Then are you willing to join us? We are going to the land of turbidity tomorrow."
Qianli fell silent and asked, "How long are you going to go this time?"
"About 5 days, mainly to explore the terrain. This is our first time here."
Explore the terrain? She is also not familiar with this place, so it might be a good idea to go with the mercenary group temporarily.
She "sees" "sees" Char again, and he should have more contact with people too.
Thinking about this, Qianli nodded and said, "We'll go with you tomorrow, but we still need to consider whether to join your group or not."
"Okay, we'll leave tomorrow at eight o'clock and see you at the city gate." Fang Zhen was a cheerful person, nodding in agreement.
"Then it's settled. My name is Qianli, and this is my brother Char. Captain Fang Zhen, we will be there on time tomorrow, so I'm sorry for the time being."
Watching Qianli and Char leave, Fang Zhen returned to his seat.
"How? Did they say yes?" asked a man with dyed orange hair.
"Only promised to go with us tomorrow."
"What a pity, that man's fighting power is absolutely super strong. I have never seen anyone who can defuse Alta's attack so easily. He is simply a freak!"
Fang Zhen nodded. He originally made the invitation because he valued the strength of the man, but the conversation just now made him feel that the little girl is the one who is in charge. She is about ten years old. Calmness doesn't match. What kind of power does she have? Why dare to enter the turbid land?
Hehe, that's funny. It seems that this mission will not be so boring, and the two men are a mystery worth exploring.
The next day, Qianli and the Qiye mercenary group met on time. After checking the equipment again, everyone walked towards the turbid land.
There are three or four mercenary groups before and after them, all in the same direction.
A thousand miles away, let go of the perception, there are several groups of turbidized beasts within ten thousand meters, and they are erratic. For this mercenary group, it should not be considered dangerous.
Several people stopped and walked, but they were in a good mood, apart from being uncomfortable because of the turbid air.
The beauty was very interested in Qianli, and from time to time pulled her to talk.
Qianli already knows her name "Cadibeya", and she has a bright and generous personality, which is easy to make people feel good about. Qianli responded politely, but said nothing about his identity and ability.
Cadibeya whispered to herself: This girl's IQ and EQ are many times higher than ordinary people!
As it approached noon, the mercenary group planned to take a break for a while, and they only encountered one or two lone turbid beasts along the way, which was easily resolved.
There is also a mercenary group on the other side, and it seems that they are also ready to rest in place.
Cadibeya pulled Qianli to her side and wanted to invite her to eat the food she prepared. As for Char, no one dared to approach him. He jumped onto a large pile of his own accord and looked into the distance. Once his eyes were taken back, he would definitely fall on Qianli.
Kadibeya was about to sit down when Qianli suddenly pulled her back, her face changed greatly, and she shouted, "Go back!"
As he spoke, he pulled Kadibeya back, causing her to almost fall over.
Although the other members of the Seven Leaf Mercenary Group were strange, they still ran towards Qianli and the others. Just after a few steps, they felt their feet tremble, and then a few sharp tentacles emerged from the ground, just behind everyone. Fluttering and dancing not far away. If they run slower, they will be attacked immediately. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sweat.
But the mercenary group on the other side was not so lucky, and only heard a series of screams, followed by a fierce melee.
"Damn, how did you come across this kind of thing?" Fang Zhen scolded in a low voice.
This tentacle-like creature is called "Subterranean Sleeper", and its body is like a root, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters. It is usually in a deep sleep and only wakes up after digesting the food. It is the seventh of the top ten dangerous creatures. Although it moves slowly, its roots are retractable and highly poisonous. Once it is drawn, humans will be paralyzed in a very short time. It is difficult to escape the fate of being devoured without preparation.
Qianli's perception has very low penetration into the ground, and this creature has almost no energy fluctuations when it is asleep. If it weren't for the momentary turbulence when it woke up, even if it was under the feet, Qianli would not be able to detect it.
I didn't expect to encounter such a terrifying thing just half a day after she came out. It seems that this turbid land is much more dangerous than she imagined.
