Chapter 141

"Citrine, this number."

Xia Mo made the number 3 gesture.

Eric's eyes widened instantly: "That's it???"

Xia Mo: "Yeah."

Eric rubbed his forehead, looking like he was about to faint from anger. "Damn human, why didn't you tell me earlier! Citrine, citrine, I have plenty of citrine in my warehouse! Wouldn't you have saved me from wasting so much energy if you had told me earlier? As expected, you humans are the most despicable. Humph, I'm going to build a few more iron cages and lock you all up in them..."

While cursing, Eric pushed himself up from the ground and staggered towards his lair.

Xia Mo wanted to laugh when he heard it.

It was obvious that he didn't give others a chance to speak from the beginning. He just used all kinds of mechanisms, iron cages, mechanical wolves, and mechanical leopards, and he actually thought it was someone else's problem.

But this is indeed in line with the character of the goblins, who are noisy, like to blame others, and think they are always right. If others refute them, it must be their fault.

Smiling and shaking his head, Xia Mo raised his foot and followed.

In Eric's lair, he rummaged through the mess and finally found three yellow crystals, then threw them to Xia Mo with an unhappy look on his face.

"Take it and leave now."

Xia Mo took it with both hands and found that the yellow crystal was covered with dust.

My goodness, these rare and valuable things for human players are actually placed like garbage by Eric.

But anyway, he got it, Xia Mo was satisfied, said "thank you", and quickly escaped.

"Damn it! They've ruined my home like this! Humans are truly the most sinister. Humph, don't deal with humans. You'll end up miserable..."

Eric's complaints continued to be heard from behind, but as Xia Mo ran away, the sound gradually disappeared.

Mercenary Hall in Spoons City.

NPC Gokoden looked at the topaz on the table in surprise: "You got it so quickly? You're amazing!"

【Mission accomplished!】

[Gain Experience Points +1000, Gold Coins +10]

The reward was very low and not worth looking at. Xia Mo raised his hand and waved away the pop-up window.

Gokoden accepted the yellow crystal, cleared his throat, and said, "Adventurer, I admire your strength. In that case, please help me deliver these military supplies to Border Line 2. However, you can't go directly. You must first accept a mercenary mission and travel to the border as a mercenary."

Done.

Xia Mo was delighted and took the border mission given by Gokoden. He turned around and walked to the NPC who issued the mercenary mission. He clicked on the question mark above her head, and several options automatically appeared.

Click all the way down until you enter the mercenary mission acceptance panel, fill in a few screening conditions, and the panel refreshes. The first page is full of mercenary missions related to the first border line.

The border lines of the Pergas continent do not have their own names, and are represented by numbers such as 1, 2, and 3. Before the opening of the Vazetilan continent, the Pergas continent had only one border line, which was very short and was located between the city of Noto and the County of Yeganse.

She happened to have traveled through time when she went to Yeganse County to make tear stones. There were NPCs guarding the place (although it was just a pretense), and everyone entering and leaving the border needed to be checked.

Now that the continent of Vazetilan is open, the border lines 2, 3 and 4 bordering it have been refreshed accordingly.

Xia Mo selected a mercenary mission with the destination of Border Line No. 2 in the panel - [Deliver letters home to border soldiers], a very simple errand task.

After that, I now had a legitimate reason to go to Border Line No. 2, so I immediately rushed to Border Line No. 2 without stopping.

Border Line 2 is located in the northwest of the continent, bordering the frigid Winter Hunting City. It is diagonally opposite to the city of Spoons and is quite far away.

There was still a batch of military supplies that needed to be transported. In order to ensure the safety of the supplies, Xia Mo released his two combat pets after leaving the city.

Since receiving treatment at the battle pet base a few months ago, Jingjing's differentiation mania has been well resolved. After a few weeks, his gender has successfully differentiated into male, officially entering adulthood.

The adult form of 朏朏 is tall. Taking Xia Mo as a benchmark, Jingjing is three heads taller than her when standing, which is very majestic.

Xiaoyi was also raised to be strong and healthy, and looked like two completely different birds compared to the frail appearance when he was picked up outside Baita City.

A land mythical beast and a flying winged man, with the two of them helping to escort them, they scared away many players with ulterior motives along the way.

When escorting to the second half, Xia Mo prepared to rest on the spot to replenish his strength. Jingjing and Xiaoyi were also temporarily dismissed, allowing them to find a place to have fun by themselves.

Suddenly, an arrow shot out from the bushes and hit her feet. A series of spikes emerged from the ground, instantly nailing her to the spot, and the health bar above her head decreased at a rate of 300/second.

[You were attacked by player "???"]

The three question marks immediately reminded Xia Mo of the two players he had fought against in Noto City a month ago.

She was very familiar with this skill, the hunter's [Explosive Spikes], which trapped the opponent in the range of spikes and caused them to lose health for 6 seconds. It was a very fierce skill.

Trapped in place, Xia Mo couldn't move. Four people immediately jumped out from the half-human-high grass and threw their skills at her head.

There were two people she had seen before. They were the two male hunters who had ambushed her and Xiaoyi in Noto City. The remaining two were new faces. Judging from their equipment, one was a warrior and the other was a priest.

The iron triangle of online gaming professions is all here, and it seems they are fully prepared this time.

During the 6 seconds of confinement, she could do nothing but stand there and get beaten.

1 second, 2 seconds.

3 seconds, 4 seconds.

The health bar above his head kept dropping down.

Xia Mo gritted her teeth and suddenly regretted that she should not have separated Jingjing and Xiaoyi. Now she was trapped and could not complete any operation. She could not summon those two guys back.

Time passed so slowly, so slowly that it seemed like a century.

After the male soldier had chopped her off for the umpteenth time, he exclaimed in surprise, "Why is her blood so thick?!"

His output was quite high, taking away over 1500 HP each time. Arthur and Edie weren't far behind either, maintaining over 1800 HP each. They even landed a critical hit each, and the spikes forced her to lose 300 HP per second. Yet, she hadn't fallen yet? How thick was her HP?

Just like last time, they also crossed the continent secretly without official approval, so they could not see the information of players from other continents.

For example, their ID, they still don’t know the name of this female star official, and what puzzles them the most right now is the health bar, how can it still stand after fighting for so long?

Of course they wouldn't know.

Although Xingguan is notoriously thin in health and defense, Xia Mo has already made up for this shortcoming in the past six months.

Low on health? There are set bonuses.

Low defense? Are her innate skills [Body Building] and [Body Solidification] just for show?

And among all the titles she had obtained in the past, at least one out of ten could bring her bonuses in various attributes. In addition, she later went to the royal city many times to ask Matthew to enchant her equipment. Now, let alone being invulnerable to swords and guns, she could easily withstand two cannon shots.

As soon as the 6 seconds were over, Xia Mo first filled his health bar with the crown, then quickly opened his icy blood vessels and rushed out with acceleration.

"She's trying to escape! Chase her!" Arthur shouted as he drew his bow and the arrow shot out from his fingertips with a whoosh.

Fortunately, this is not a plain or a highland, and there are trees for cover. Xia Mo easily avoided the arrow by turning sideways.

"What a fast speed!" Caroline, the female priest at the end of the team, was surprised. "Is the Star Officer's agility really that high?"

Edie, who was rushing in front, said coldly: "No, she is the only one that tall."

The Vazetilan continent has been open for so many days, but there is still no one on the Star Official List who can match her, so... it’s not that the Star Official is agile, but that she is too strong.

Whenever he thought about how he died at her hands last time, he felt a strong sense of unwillingness. Now he finally found the opportunity, and it was four of them against one, so there was no reason for him to fail again!

However, just as he aimed his arrow at her back, suddenly, a loud whistle sounded.

A bad premonition came to my mind, and the next moment, I saw a big bird swooping down from above!

"ah--!"

Arthur beside him screamed, the bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground, and he was directly picked up by the big bird.

Before the people on the ground could react, a monster like a giant cat rushed out of the woods with a loud bang. It slapped Edie on the back, and Edie fell to the ground with a thud without even a scream.

In the blink of an eye, only two of the four people were left. Soldier Kingsley and Pastor Caroline were so scared that they dared not move forward.

However, they did not dare to move forward, as someone was approaching.

Xia Mo quickly circled out from beside a tree, took off and jumped. Comet Storm! A series of skills landed on their heads, blooming with dazzling light.

The female priest fell to the ground first, and the male warrior turned around and ran in panic. He was smart and knew that he could not match her speed, so he drank purple medicine frantically.

After picking up speed, his whole body moved like the wind and he ran quickly through the woods.

However, he will speed up, so won’t she, Xia Mo, speed up too?

With the purple medicine and icy blood, she chased after him at a faster speed and attacked his back!

Boom, boom, boom! After several critical hits, the warrior fell forward, fell to the ground, and quickly disappeared.

It was the same again, running away after losing the fight. Xia Mo lowered his head and looked at the human-shaped pit under his feet with a mocking look. When he looked back, the three people who were lying dead just now had all disappeared.

If the last time was just an accident, then this time it was obviously a long-planned sneak attack.

These players from the capital star are never quiet.

After ending this little episode, Xia Mo continued to transport supplies northward. In view of the good performance of the two guys, she rewarded them with the high-quality rations that Yun Yao had just cooked a few days ago.

After the two guys had eaten and drunk their fill, Xia Mo suddenly received a message:

[Jingjing's loyalty to you has reached 100. Do you want to convert it into a permanent contract?]

Xia Mo blinked. It was already 100? Time flies.

Under the permanent contract, the battle pet will always be subservient to the master and will not be abandoned at any time or under any circumstances.

God knows how much effort she has put into cultivating Jingjing in order to wait for this moment. Xia Mo touched its fur with emotion, rubbed its soft nose, and finally chose [Yes]

A golden thread wrapped around her finger, and the other end of the golden thread circled around Jingjing. The golden light flickered and gradually disappeared after a few seconds. Xia Mo could feel a force drilling into her body.

“Chirp!”

Sensing that the relationship between her and Jingjing had undergone a deeper change, Xiaoyi flapped his wings beside her, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Xia Mo was about to comfort it, the next second.

[Xiaoyi's loyalty to you has reached 100. Do you want to make it a permanent contract?]

Um?

She looked at Xiaoyi with amusement: "Are you sure? Don't be angry."

This guy's loyalty is very high only when he is first recruited. No matter how he is trained later, his loyalty just refuses to go up to the last 10 points.

Thinking that 90 loyalty points were enough, Xia Mo did not force it.

Who knew that the last 10 points would require external stimulation to rise.

Xiaoyi puffed out his chest and said, "Chirp!"

Xia Mo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and accepted the contract.

That's good. Once the loyalty level is full, she won't have to spend as much time and effort cultivating it as before, which can save her a lot of time.

The supplies are first transported to Hunting Winter City, and then through the city to reach Border Line No. 4.

Due to the northern location, the temperature here is very low. Cities, wild maps and border lines are covered with snow all year round. Players coming here must either wear special cold-resistant equipment or drink a bottle of ice-resistant potion first, otherwise they will get debuffs such as cold and frostbite after taking a few steps.

Xia Mo didn't have any special equipment, but she had stockpiled a lot of potions. She drank a bottle before entering the city, and then asked while walking, handing the letter requiring the mercenary mission to the NPC.

Her real intention was not to drink. She left after completing the mercenary mission, but the military supplies had not been handed over yet. She had to find the soldiers here to ask who was responsible for the handover.

On the endless border line, white snow covered everything. Xia Mo was talking to an NPC. Suddenly, a white light flashed on the hillside not far away.

It is known that snow does not emit light by itself, only lenses and glass-like objects can reflect light.

Someone is watching.

It could be her, or it could be the border line here.

Xia Mo remained calm and asked the sergeant in front of him casually, "Have you patrolled the hillside over there?"

The sergeant was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "What are you thinking, warrior? The hillside over there is extremely cold, not even a blade of grass can grow. Who would go to that damn place?"

There is no grass growing, but what if people grow?

Seeing that she remained silent, the sergeant responded to her previous question: "Just leave the military supplies to me, and I will distribute them."

"OK, thanks."

After letting go of the thing, Xia Mo smiled slightly, but when he turned around, the smile disappeared.

She had to go to the hillside to see what was glowing just now.
