Chapter 42 BOSS Refresh

After lunch, the team of more than ten people left three people to guard the base and immediately notify other teammates if anything happened.

Lu Jiu and his friends wanted to take a look around, so they split up.

When there was no one else around, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting as if they had been released from confinement.

Zhuang Yun was the first to speak up, "Ms. Lu, why did you want to tell these people about the plaid backpack?"

He did not doubt the authenticity of the news, but he felt that the city-states were in competition with each other, so it was not worth exchanging some chicken for useful information.

Lu Jiu knew he would ask this. "Actually, even if we don't tell you now, everyone will know about it in the future. Besides, I think it would be a good idea to switch to some chicken. Don't you think the chicken we had for lunch was very tender?"

Zhuang Yun couldn't help but admire the young lady's generosity. "It's delicious, but you can get something better."

"In fact, we are definitely not the only ones in Xuantian City who know this news. Who knows, someone might reveal this in the local channel later. It's better to use it to do someone a favor." Shen Jufeng took over and said.

Lu Jiu couldn't tell him that she did this to curry favor and get Captain Xiang and his men to come to her city-state to trade. "I didn't think too much about it at the time. Besides, after I knew this, Captain Xiang also gave me a lot of information."

Zhuang Yun thought about it and agreed. "That's right. It's hard to say for sure. Besides, we are outsiders. If we don't come up with sincere information, those people will probably be wary of us."

Lu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Zhuang Yun didn't continue to dwell on this matter. Fortunately, this news was time-limited, so it wouldn't be too serious if it was really told out.

After a few people fought several waves of wild beasts around Yunlingpo, the sky began to darken.

"It's getting dark earlier and earlier," Zhuang Yun muttered. Although the world now is not the original Earth, the changes of the four seasons still exist.

Just like on Earth, after summer, the sky gets dark quickly.

"Let's go back. Maybe everything will be fine today." Lu Jiu suggested.

A few of them went back home and found that Captain Xiang and his group had not returned yet when they returned to the camp. Those three people were still there.

One of them met them head on, "You're back."

"Well, we'll come back when it starts to get dark. The forest here will be more dangerous at night." This is very similar to the original Earth.

The person who was in charge nodded. There were more wild monsters appearing at night, so it would be safer to stay together.

Zhuang Yun continued to prepare dinner with the team while the others chatted.

After smelling the aroma of barbecue for dinner, Lu Jiu also heard some movement. Although it was not obvious, he was sure that he had heard it correctly.

She turned her head and glanced at Shen Jufeng, who nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard it too.

The two men got up and walked to the river. The sound came from the other side of the river. Unfortunately, it was a little dark now, and there was dense grass covering it, so they couldn't see clearly what it was.

The rustling sound became louder and louder, and the two people in the team heard it. "What is that?" They ran to Lu Jiu and the others and asked.

Lu Jiu shook his head. "I don't know. I just heard a slight noise and came here to check it out. I thought I heard it wrongly."

The two looked at each other. They hadn't heard anything just now.

Across the river was a downward slope, so they suspected something was coming towards the river.

Soon, they saw a bright red ball like a flag emerging from the grass. Before Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng could react, they heard someone shouting, "It's the wild pheasant boss, that's the rooster's comb!"

They could recognize it because the city lord had shown them a portrait.

It’s already this late, and a BOSS appears at this wrong time.

The two men reacted quickly, "I'll inform Captain Xiang to retreat a little bit. It's hard to fight with just a few of us." The most important thing is that if Lu Jiu and the others take action, they may have to give more than one-third of the chicken.

Lu Jiu had no objection and quickly retreated with Shen Jufeng. They had no intention of attacking the BOSS anyway.

Captain Xiang and his companions were already on their way back when they were about to reach their base when they received an email saying that the Pheasant BOSS had spawned. Their expressions immediately became serious, "Hurry! The BOSS over there has spawned."

The group rode back at full speed.

Zhuang Yun had just finished preparing dinner when he was told to leave quickly.

The full appearance of the rooster was also revealed. The size of the boss was indeed as big as a hill. The crown was the most eye-catching, and the body was covered with black and red feathers. It walked proudly and confidently.

Soon, a hen appeared behind the hillside. It was covered with light yellow feathers and was a little bigger than the rooster. Unlike the skinny rooster, it looked quite plump.

“Chuckle—”

The big rooster raised its head and crowed.

Lu Jiu complained in his heart: It's almost night, why are you crowing?

The two teammates moved quickly, quickly collecting their things and retreating to the forest behind them.

Two chickens were standing on the other side of the river, looking into the river, quickly diving their heads into the water, and then raising their heads with a fat fish in their mouths.

The hen raised its head and shook it a few times before swallowing the fish, while the rooster looked at Lu Jiu and the others on the other side. It was obvious that the rooster had discovered them when it came up.

Lu Jiu thought that these two chickens would not be able to cross the river. He had never heard that chickens could swim.

Unexpectedly, the rooster spread its wings and flew up quickly. A river several meters wide might not be easy for humans to cross, but it was not difficult for a rooster that was already large in size.

The hen flapped its short wings and came down to the river side. The hen was still hunting on the other side.

"Let's run quickly." Lu Jiu grabbed Shen Jufeng's hand and ran, and the other two hurried to catch up.

The rooster was also very fast. Even if they increased their speed, they could not outrun it and were soon caught up.

Lu Jiu and her friends were very unlucky. When she and Shen Jufeng were running, they were spotted by the chicken. She took the opportunity to look back and saw that the chicken was stretching its head and staring at them!

The visual impact was so strong that Lu Jiu couldn't help but speed up. She wished she had more legs. Besides, she was not a melee fighter.

After the rooster caught up with them, Shen Jufeng kept looking at the rooster with an unchanged expression. The rooster retracted its neck and then pecked forward fiercely. He frowned and took out a black round shield from his backpack.

This was custom-made by him from a forging shop before leaving the city, and it is of bronze level.

A crisp "clang" sound was heard, and Shen Jufeng was knocked back a few steps by the force. Lu Jiu hurried to help him.

Several people were also attracted by the sound. Looking towards Lu Jiu, they saw that the shield held by Shen Jufeng had a dent.

Shen Jufeng frowned even deeper. The attack power of the rooster's beak was stronger than he had imagined. He used Lu Jiu's strength to stand firm and grabbed Lu Jiu's hand to continue running.

Just when the rooster was about to peck Shen Jufeng for the second time, Captain Xiang and his group finally rushed back. Cheng Yunshi directly used her skills to trap the rooster, saving the two from being pecked.

Shen Jufeng calmly put away his shield, and the rest was no longer their business.

Now that everyone was together, the few people who were trying to escape felt more confident. The two or three people who had escaped together joined the battle, while Zhuang Yun ran to Lu Jiu and the others.
