Chapter 76

Xingnuo glanced at the little boy with black hair, black eyes and moist eyes squatting in front of him, and his expression was stunned for a moment.

He didn't even know the little boy, so how could he be best friends with him?

Scratching his still dizzy forehead, Xingnuo was soft-tempered and did not refute Lu Qi's words.

"Xiao Qi, have you seen my friends? Two little girls and a little fat boy."

Xingnuo stretched out his hand and gestured.

"About this fat."

Lu Qi squatted in front of Xingnuo and shook his head.

"No, I came to see you."

From Xingnuo's hot little brooch, Lu Qi sensed that Xingnuo was in danger and ran all the way here from other places.

Lu Qi ran so hard that her shoes fell off, and now she is still barefoot.

As for other people, Lu Qi doesn't care.

Sitting next to Xingnuo, Lu Qi's eyes were fixed on Xingnuo without blinking. He supported his little chin and tilted his head to look at him.

Xingnuo couldn't help but sigh when he heard that Lu Qi had never met Qingqing, Xiaopang and the others.

Rubbing his gray curly hair, Xingnuo stood up and thanked Lu Qi in a soft voice.

"Xiao Qi, thank you for saving me, but I have to go find my friends now."

When Lu Qi heard this, his eyes widened instantly and he stood up quickly.

"Why? Isn't it good for me to be Xingnuo's friend?"

Why does Xingnuo need other friends?

Lu Qi had a fierce expression on his face, pursed his lips, and seemed a little unhappy.

Xing Nuo had no way to answer Lu Qi's words. He bent over and walked out of the tent, and found himself still on the barren and dry earth.

Before his eyes was an endless expanse of yellow earth. Xingnuo looked at the sky without the sun and sighed worriedly.

Lu Qi followed out, one foot without a shoe, and walked crookedly.

He followed Xingnuo's gaze and looked into the distance, suddenly showing his little white teeth and pointing in a direction.

"I came from there and found Xingnuo."

There was a vast expanse of yellow land, and no one knew how Lu Qi got here and found Xingnuo so accurately.

Xing Nuo couldn't help but feel confused and couldn't help but look at Lu Qi.

"Have you seen me before, Xiaoqi? Why did you come to see me?"

Lu Qi's smile seemed a little strange every time, as if he was trying very hard to smile, but he was not very skilled at it.

"Of course we have to find Xingnuo!"

The only meaning of Lu Qi's survival is to stay with Xingnuo forever!

Unfortunately, Lu Qi’s energy is low now, and he cannot leave the world of the copy. He can only count the days and silently devour other small monsters to replenish his energy.

Lu Qi saw Xing Nuo's distress. Although he didn't like the friends he mentioned, he pursed his lips and said:

"Where are Xingnuo's friends? I can help you find them."

Xingnuo's eyes lit up when he heard that, and they shone brightly like the only bright gem against the backdrop of yellow sand.

"They are at Sunflower's place! But Sunflower is very mean and wants to sell my friend out!"

Xingnuo said this, clenching his fists and straightening the corners of his mouth.

"I'm going to save them!"

Lu Qi looked at Xing Nuo's determined little face, suddenly laughed, and hummed:

"You're always like this."

Full of passion, energy and vitality.

Crystal blue lines appeared in Lu Qi's black eyes, and the road he had walked was condensed into a small map, appearing in front of him.

With a cold and stiff tone, Lu Qi said:

"Sunflower is a D-level copy, located at the very edge of the Loess Desert. We need to turn back now and head west."

Turning his head, Lu Qi's black pupils were now shining with a crystal blue light, making him look more like a little robot.

He looked at Xingnuo, his voice still cold and stiff.

"I suggest you not go back. It has been a whole day since your friend was taken away. There is a 90% chance that Sunflower has sold your friend."

The remaining 10% are the three children who have been eaten by sunflowers or some other monsters.

If he goes back now, Xingnuo will definitely not be able to find his friends.

Xingnuo let out a soft cry, his expression anxious, and his little curly-haired boy seemed a little wilted.

"What should we do? Otherwise, should we go find Qingqing directly? But I don't know where they are."

At that time, Sunflower was attacking Xingnuo. Xingnuo heard a lot of noise and did not hear where Sunflower was going to sell the children.

Lu Qi's eyes flickered with crystal blue light, and he said:

"Let's go to Pastoral Town and ask. That's the closest dungeon market to the sunflowers."

If Sunflower really wanted to sell a few children, he would definitely contact the merchants in Pastoral Town.

Xingnuo could only hum and nod his head.

"Thank you, Lu Qi, you are so awesome!"

It seemed like he knew everything, and he came down from the sky and helped Xingnuo so much.

The crystal blue light in Lu Qi's eyes seemed to be brighter. He blinked, and a hint of happiness appeared in his mechanical and stiff tone.

"You're welcome. I was standing with Xingnuo anyway."

No matter what Xingnuo is going to do, Lu Qi will not ask, he will just follow unconditionally.

Two five-head-tall children started walking from the tent and crossed a long loess road.

The yellow sand blew onto Xingnuo's cheeks. Xingnuo's already dirty face was now completely dark, with no trace of its fair base color.

Lu Qi wasn't in much better condition either. Without his shoes, his feet were rubbed so hard that they were bleeding.

Xingnuo wanted to give him her own little shoes, but Lu Qi seemed to feel no pain. He ran forward on the bloodstains and refused Xingnuo's shoes.

“I don’t need shoes!”

Lu Qi ran in front of Xingnuo, and seeing Xingnuo coughing in the wind and sand, he suddenly laughed.

"Xingnuo, we have walked through very long deserts before!"

The conditions were worse at that time, the wind was stronger than it is now, and there was sand and gravel everywhere, which hit my skin and hurt a lot.

Xing Nuo didn't hear Lu Qi's words clearly. He hummed and looked up at the outline of the town appearing in front of him. His eyes widened instantly.

“We’re here!”

After walking for most of the day, we finally got out of the loess road!

Xingnuo seemed to have forgotten the uncomfortable feeling in his lungs. He jogged forward, holding hands with Lu Qi, and stumbled into the pastoral town.

When they arrived at the town, Lu Qi pulled Xingnuo, whose face was black and whose bodies were covered with sand and dirt, and who looked as dirty as two Beggar Gang children.

When the people in Pastoral Town saw them, they couldn't hide their disgust in their eyes.

Lu Qi brought Xing Nuo to stop in front of a small hotel in Pastoral Town and took out two energy coins from his pocket.

"This is Star Coin, the currency launched by Shen Group in conjunction with multiple copies. It can be used in some larger town copies."

The star coins contain energy unique to this world and are cast from special materials by Shen’s processing factory.

Currently, Star Coin is the only currency launched in the horror world.

Xingnuo looked at the familiar star pattern on it, nodded, and couldn't help but speak:

“It looks like the stars I drew.”

The lines are fuzzy, and the star corners at the top are almost non-existent. The overall little stars are flat and round, which is quite cute.

There is a fluffy little cloud on the front of the star coin.

Lu Qi glanced at Xing Nuo and tilted his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xing Nuo raised her little head, looked at the small hotel, and followed Lu Qi into it.

The small hotel does good business, and monsters coming from all directions to do business stay here.

The innkeeper saw two poor little beggars walk in. He didn't even raise his eyelids and tapped slowly on the table with a pen.

"Get out if you don't have money, or I'll eat you up!"

In the monster world, there aren’t so many rules and restrictions. Sometimes the boss just doesn’t like you and will swallow you up with one mouthful.

Lu Qi placed a star coin in front of the boss and spoke in a serious tone.

"We're staying overnight."

The face value of the star coin is fifty, which is just enough for a night's stay.

When the innkeeper saw the money, his ears twitched and he burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay! You two just keep walking inside. 127 is your room number."

Other monsters came out of the room, saw the two little kids, and were about to open their mouths to swallow them, but suddenly they felt the scent of the dirty curly-haired kid.

Shit, this kid actually has the aura of a high-level monster!

There is also an S+ item? !

The monster quickly closed his mouth, covered his face, and closed the door in panic.

Xingnuo saw a fish-head-shaped monster open the door and close it again. He was confused for a moment and continued to follow Lu Qi forward.

After finding room 127, Xingnuo walked in and sat down on the chair, unable to get up.

He walked for two days and felt like he could cough up sand from his lungs. He was so tired that he could hardly move.

Lu Qi seemed tireless, busying around preparing the bath water for Xingnuo, and then taking out two small pieces of bread like a magic trick.

"Xingnuo, go take a shower and come out later to eat some buns."

Xingnuo nodded, walked into the bathroom, and was startled by the dark and dirty little boy in the mirror.

He rubbed his little face and could directly rub off two kilograms of mud.

The water in the small bathtub was changed two or three times. Lu Qi held a small towel and stood behind Xingnuo, with misty water vapor on his head, to scrub his body.

Two dirty little cubs, you help me and I help you, after rubbing each other for more than half an hour, we finally rubbed each other into little white cubs.

A dry towel was wrapped around Xingnuo's washed little curly hair. He covered his mouth and burst into laughter as if he found it very interesting.

Lu Qi didn't understand what was going on, so he just forced out a laugh.

After the cheerful and crisp laughter, Xingnuo wrapped himself in a large towel and waited for his clothes to dry.

He sat on the edge of the bed, holding the small piece of bread and eating it with great relish.

There were bread crumbs on Xingnuo's chin, which Lu Qi wiped off with a tissue.

Lu Qi held her little face and looked at Xing Nuo. After Xing Nuo finished one piece of bread, she handed over the other one.

"Xingnuo eat."

Xingnuo shook his head vigorously and pushed the bread to Lu Qi.

"Xiaoqi, you eat. I'm full."

In fact, Xingnuo was not full. He had been hungry for two days. Eating a small piece of bread was just to stop his empty stomach from growling.

Lu Qi firmly tore open the bread and stuffed it into Xingnuo's mouth.

"Both are for you. I won't eat them."

When he was hungry, he would just go outside the hotel and find some little monsters to chew on.

Xingnuo's mouth was stuffed with bread and his speech was slurred and soft, but he was afraid that Lu Qi would be hungry, so he tore half of the bread and gave it to him.

"You need to eat, otherwise you won't have the strength."

After resting tonight, Xingnuo and Lu Qi will go out to inquire for information and continue their journey to find the child.

Lu Qi said "oh", took half of the bread, put it into his mouth and ate it in two or three gulps.

Xingnuo, who had eaten half full, lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling of the small hotel. Before he felt sleepy, he was still thinking -

I don’t know how my father and brother are doing. I miss them so much.
