The rain was still falling. Wu Xiangwang, who had freed himself from his strange transformation, felt the fine water droplets falling on his body while listening attentively to the miserable howls coming from the night rain.
His expression at that moment could only be described as pain in his balls. No way, no way? The one screaming couldn't be the strange guard captain, right?!
He'd just casually mentioned dancing for the captain of the guard to stimulate healthy bidding. Could that gorgeous, sinister, and petty guy have remembered it from three days ago?!
Don’t forget each other: “…”
He must have a rusty brain to think that guy was romantic and elegant.
But no matter what, he had to go over there and take a look.
If that sound was really the scream of the strange guard captain, he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for the guard captain at the village entrance tomorrow morning.
Not to mention the half-hour exclusive escort, what would the captain of the escort do with the cart, clothes, one hundred copper coins, and fifty-one eggs he was going to bring to him?
Thinking of this, Wu Xiannan's face changed slightly and he cursed the petty-minded Weird Captain in his heart, and quickened his pace to run towards the Weird Captain's house.
I hope he misheard or that the one getting beaten wasn't the Weird Guard Captain! Even if the Weird Guard Captain really got beaten, he'd have to hold on for a bit! Even if he died, he had to wait until he got everything that belonged to him!
Without the snail shell to slow him down, Wu Xiangwang quickly ran to the wooden house of the strange guard captain. Then he looked at the wooden ruins in front of him and covered his mouth, unable to bear to look at them.
The reality was worse than he had imagined. He had thought that Captain Weird had just been beaten up and might not be able to get up tomorrow, but it turned out that even the house had collapsed and his family was going to be destroyed!
Wu Xiangwang immediately activated the transformation of the strange mosquito, then after brewing his emotions for a while, he began to pull at the broken wooden boards of the wooden house with a distressed expression.
"Captain! Captain, where are you?"
"Captain, please don't be in any trouble!"
"Didn't you promise to always stand behind me and support me? If anything happened to you, I would be devastated!"
If anything happens to you, what will happen to my eggs, clothes, bedding, and the hundred copper coins?!
The Mosquito Fairy dug hard among the broken wood boards, and finally he heard a faint voice in the ruins -
"Nest, nest...here..."
Wu Xiangwang felt relieved. Great! This scapegoat is still alive!
"I'm here, I'm here! Captain, I'm here to see you!!"
Then the Mosquito Immortal Man accurately found the location where the sound came from, pulled away the wooden boards and wood chips, and finally saw the guard captain's... already horrible and weird face.
The immortal suddenly covered his mouth exaggeratedly, trying to hide the corners of his mouth that were curling up wildly, but his voice was full of accusations:
"This is too tragic, too much! Who hit you? How could He hit you for no reason?"
The strange guard captain saw how much his obsessed beauty, Da Meiwen, felt sorry for him and even stood up for him. Suddenly, the pain from all the broken bones in his body seemed to disappear. He forced a grin and said like a tragic hero:
"It's okay... I'm strong... I'll just need some rest... I'll be fine..."
"It's just... tomorrow, I... can't personally see you off... I'm worried... about you..."
Even Wangwangxiannan, who was as hard as iron, had to admire the captain's persistence at this time. This was almost comparable to those ultimate brainless fans.
It doesn't matter if I get sick and go bankrupt, as long as you are well, I will still be your fan even if I have to eat coarse food!
The immortal gave a touched fake smile:
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me! I can take care of myself! I'm very strong too!"
"But you also know that I am stranded here penniless and lacking in resources..."
There was no need for the Immortal Man to say anything else; the strange guard captain immediately did a sit-up:
"The basement... is still there! The cart I prepared for you, the warm bedroll, three sets of clothes, fifty-one eggs, and all my belongings are in the basement!"
After shouting, the strange captain stood up again: "I, I am completely exhausted now, beautiful, beautiful lady, go by yourself..."
Before the strange captain could finish his words, Mosquito Immortal Man turned and went searching for the basement entrance. With his thin antennae, he could easily sense the wind's movement, and naturally, he quickly found the basement buried beneath the wooden rubble.
Everything in the basement was intact. Wu Xiangwang immediately noticed the beautiful and sturdy cart placed in the middle of the basement. It looked much more upscale than the ordinary cart the old village chief had at home.
Unlike the black and burred wooden cart in the village chief's house, the wood of this cart is light brown. The entire cart has been carefully polished and coated with a layer of protective oil.
The cart felt smooth and not heavy. Wu Xiangwang tried to lift the two handles of the cart and push it forward. The cart was surprisingly light to move.
In addition, Wu Xiangwang also noticed that the cart was fixed with something like metal sheets at the joints and load-bearing rollers, and the wooden wheels were wrapped with two layers of very elastic rubber, which greatly reduced the bumps and vibrations of the items on the cart.
It can be said to be a very practical and durable stroller.
At this time, there were fifty-one eggs piled on the cart, a thick rolled-up bedding roll on the far left, a sturdy animal skin bag in the middle, and three sets of neatly folded clothes decorated with silk threads and ornaments next to the bedding roll.
"This is really a clear arrangement, and a lot of money has been spent!" Wu Daxingxing sighed and shook his head. It was a pity that the captain of the guard was a weirdo who liked to tear people apart. Otherwise, with such care and support, he would have to take a photo with the captain of the guard and give him a special signature.
So don’t be a brainless fan, licking the dog one after another, because in the end you will really end up with nothing.
Look, this weird captain of the guard is about to lose everything.
Wu Xiangwang cancelled the transformation of the strange Aedes albopictus, activated the cone snail's bloodline bonus, and summoned his snail shell backpack. He then placed the backpack on the cart.
In an instant, the entire cart disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a cute snail shell bag on the ground.
Then Wu Xiangwang looked at the basement again, and without hesitation took away all of Captain Weird's food reserves, including five bags of weird cabbage, three bags of fiery peppers, and two bags of spiked corn, before turning around and returning to the ground.
At this time, the strange guard captain was still lying in the ruins, with only his face exposed, looking up at the sky.
Ah! He saw the beauty he had been thinking about again. The beauty looked at him with her affectionate and beautiful eyes, and then... covered his face with the wooden board again?
Weird Captain: “……???”
"Captain, I have already received what you prepared for me. Thank you for your generosity. I am very touched."
"The rain is so heavy and it must be very uncomfortable for you to fall on your face. I will cover you again so that you won't get wet. This is the only thing I can do for you."
Then the strange captain heard his beauty's sad voice: "Goodbye, captain, I will be traveling far away tomorrow."
"Don't think about me or miss me, just let this be a beautiful memory between us!"
Weird Captain: “!!!”
Then the weird captain heard the sound of the beauty running away, and he felt sad and disappointed in the ruins and heavy rain. After all, he was not worthy of her, wuwuwu!
Wu Xiangwang quickly ran back to the house where the newlyweds were resting before the heavy rain fell. After all, he felt a little guilty for taking away all of their belongings.
As expected, he was still too kind and soft-hearted.
As soon as he ran back, Shang Chong, who had been waiting anxiously, grabbed him and said, "Where have you been? We haven't seen you in such a long time. If you don't come back, Meigu and I will go out to look for you!"
Wu Xiangwang looked at Shang Chong's worried expression and smiled at him: "Don't you know where I've been? Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Shang Chong immediately thought of this guy's shameless talk about awakening a portable space in his sleep. He rolled his eyes on the spot and felt that he had worried for nothing all night.
"Your dream really lasts from day to night!"
Shang Chong pouted and was about to go to his bed to sleep. It was already late at night, so he had to rest for a few hours because he had to get up early and leave after the rooster crowed tomorrow morning.
Wu Xiangwang didn't hold him back, but instead climbed onto the bed by the window to rest. When he returned, at least six or seven people in the room were looking in their direction, some even pretending to eavesdrop on their conversation. Now was not the right time to bring up the snail shell backpack.
Soon the whole hut fell into darkness and silence again. At this time, the night rain outside the window mixed with the cold wind blew into the house, making those who had no bedding rolls shiver.
Don't forget that there is no bedding roll on the surface now.
But he didn't feel cold at all.
He curled up with his back to everyone, and in the darkness, he held the flame gem, which also had golden vines blocking its light, against his chest.
Through the soft golden vines, the fiery temperature turned into warmth, warming the person holding it from the fingers to the heart.
This is probably the most expensive and natural hand warmer.
So in his dream, Wu Xiangwang saw that gorgeous and ferocious figure again.
Even though he had already recognized the danger of that guy and decided to put him behind him, that figure still remained in his mind and heart uncontrollably.
A strange dream last night.
"Fuck! I said I wouldn't dance all night, ugh!"
Wu Xiangwang suddenly sat up, hugged his chest and stepped back. After waking up in shock, he realized that it was just a... fatal dream.
It was so bad that he danced with some guy all night in his dream. He didn't want to hear the word "dance" anymore recently.
Then Wu Xiangwang noticed that people around him were looking at him with strange eyes, and among those looking at him strangely were Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun.
"What are you looking at?"
Shang Chong sighed and patted Wu Xiangwang's shoulder: "Nothing, I just feel that it's really not easy for you to complete the mission, brother."
He even dreams about dancing. Something must have happened in that cabin that his friends will remember painfully!
Wu Xiangwang also heard someone next to him sighing quietly, thankfully he didn't have to dance for the weird captain or anything.
Wu Xiannan: “…Hehe.”
A weird captain is nothing, the real trouble is to have a homeless dance partner who is rich and powerful!
You know nothing of the true deadly dance!
Then Wu Xiangwang walked out of the house with a cold and aloof face. At this time, other newcomers in the novice rest room also came out one after another, but some of them walked towards the house of the weird village chief, while others gathered directly at the gate square of the novice village.
Obviously, those who were walking towards the gate were almost all powerful newcomers who awakened their special abilities on the first day and then completed the bedding roll task and the cart task in the shortest time.
In these short three days, they worked hard to adapt to and understand this unknown and strange new world, and tirelessly trained their physical and mental endurance. Finally, on this day, they were about to embark on a real journey to another world.
The red-haired young man and dozens of veteran taskers including the Dragon Fang Legion had already been waiting at the village entrance. Beside them stood fifty or sixty newcomers who had successfully joined the legion or the team of veteran taskers.
Their number had already gathered but they did not leave immediately. They were obviously waiting for the new team members who did not join them.
This is probably a kind of care from the pioneers to the latecomers.
When the sun completely jumped out from the horizon with golden light, the red-haired young man and the other old people in the team and nearby nodded to each other and decided to set off without waiting.
At this moment, the thorny Dharma King, who had been holding it in all morning, finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He nudged Wu Xiangwang with his elbow and said, "Wang! Why hasn't Captain Weird, who was supposed to escort you, arrived yet? And your cart, clothes, and most importantly, the eggs are all with the captain of the guard!"
Such a huge amount of materials that are so eye-catching cannot be wasted, right?!
The others were obviously paying attention to them as well. However, before Wu Xiangwang could reply, a strange creature with three arms strode over and started to speak:
"Last night, the captain was beaten by an unknown ghost! He is now seriously injured and bedridden! He can't come here to escort you on your journey. This is an unavoidable accident and does not constitute a breach of contract. You're just unlucky!"
After saying this, the three-armed creature laughed with glee and turned around and ran away. The captain asked him to escort this human out of the village. Hehehe, what a joke. Anyway, the captain was lying on the ground and couldn't move, so he was the most powerful guard in the village!
In an instant, all the more than one hundred newcomers gathered here turned their heads and looked at Wu Xiangwang in unison.
Many people had sympathy on their faces, and some even showed undisguised expressions of gloating.
"This is really unlucky. I risked my life to dance, but ended up dancing in vain."
"This mission is completed, but it seems unfinished, right?"
"Sure enough, the name 'Bad Luck Squad' isn't for nothing. We must stay as far away from them as possible when we're on the road!"
Wu Xiangwang's forehead veins throbbed as he listened to this conversation.
Over there, Wu Xingyun simply retreated to the corner holding his mushroom, and became autistic as if he was surrounded by a dark cloud.
"It's all my fault... Ugh... I told you, Brother Wu, that you should have left me to fend for myself... Even Captain Weird was inexplicably seriously injured... Let's just part ways now. I can't let you down any further!"
"But Brother Wu, since I've been a tank for once, remember to send my mother to a good nursing home when you get back, ah!"
Wu Xingyun was silenced by a big eggshell thrown by Wu Xiangwang.
"I told you not to be so depressed all the time! This incident has nothing to do with you!
Don't be sad, the main force has already left. You guys go ahead, I'll go find the captain of the escort and then catch up."
It's obviously a gorgeous and strange pot, but this unlucky mushroom can't bear the consequences. And his Tai Chi training didn't go in vain, the good stuff is all in his snail shell bag.
It just takes the right opportunity and reason to bring it up. Now is the time.
"But will the captain of the guard default on his debt?"
Wu Xiangwang winked at Shang Chong and turned away. Shang Chong thought of the excitement on that guy's face when he came back last night, touched his chin, and poked Wu Xingyun away with a long stick.
"Will you know if he'll be able to keep his promise after a while? The most important thing now is that we keep up with the main group and leave marks on the road so that he won't be left behind."
Wu Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "Then let me plant a mushroom every time I walk a certain distance."
Although his mushrooms are edible, he has tried many times but still hasn't found any strange animals willing to eat his mushroom slices.
Shang Chong's mouth twitched. This really was an excellent guide mushroom—the shape was obviously unique, and it was almost indestructible.
However, Wu Xiangwang returned much faster than they had imagined. Before Wu Xingyun had time to plant the second guiding mushroom, Wu Xiangwang caught up with him pushing his sturdy cart.
"Brother Wu, you came back so quickly! And you really succeeded in getting the reward!" Wu Xingyun showed a surprised expression when he saw the light-colored cart pushed by Wu Xiangwang with the bedding roll and eggs on it.
Wu Xiangwang raised his eyebrows and smiled at him. "That's right, no one can make me work for nothing!"
Moreover, he didn't really go to Captain Weird's house to ask for things. He just found a secluded and deserted place to take out the cart, warm bedding roll and five eggs from the snail shell backpack. Of course, he was fast.
Regardless of how fast or slow he goes back and forth, with this action he can reasonably reduce those enviable materials.
Wu Xiangwang looked up at the large group in front and saw that many people had slowed down and looked back frequently, and some had stopped and listened attentively. He remembered that among the first group of awakened people, there seemed to be people with awakened hearing abilities.
Wu Xiangwang curled his lips and said, "But I didn't get the full reward. That weird captain said he was paralyzed and really wanted to refuse to pay. Fortunately, the old village chief came and said he couldn't just give up everything.
In the end, I managed to wrestle the wheelbarrow and bedding from Him, but I lost my clothes and only got five eggs. I thought it was okay, so I accepted it.
"After all, this is someone else's territory. We have the two most important things. Five eggs are enough for us to walk to the first main city in three days. We shouldn't force anything else, right?"
Wu Xingyun nodded in agreement, "That's right! We've basically made no loss by getting the cart and bedding back! Even if we save on eggs, we'll have enough to eat, and maybe we can even go hunting on the way. It's really great!"
Shang Chong also looked at Wu Xiangwang and nodded: "That's good, I still have ten eggs here, enough to eat.
Next, let’s follow the big team and see what this world looks like.”
Wu Xiangwang smiled, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the people in front of him turn around and move forward one after another.
It wasn't until those eavesdroppers had blended into the main force ahead that Wu Xiangwang deliberately slowed down his pace, bringing the distance between the three of them and the main force ahead to 20 meters. Only then did Wu Xiangwang sit on his cart, raised his chin, and nodded at Shang Chong:
"Come on, call daddy."
Shang Chong was nearly tripped by the weeds on the road that were twisting and trying to wrap around his ankles. He struck the weeds with a bolt of lightning, causing them to shrink back. Then he looked at Wu Xiangwang in shock: "You really need me to fix your brain, right? What the hell?!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw that Wu Xiangwang, who was sitting in the stroller, suddenly had a somewhat feminine pink and white conch shell in his arms... a backpack?
Then the immortal just reached out and patted his backpack, and ten big eggs and a bag of emerald green cabbages appeared on the cart!
"What the hell! What the hell! Am I dreaming? Is this fucking real?!"
Shang Chong crushed the lightning ball in his hand and looked around like a thief, lowering his voice: "Dad! Tell me quickly, have you really awakened your spatial ability?!"
Wu Xiannan sat on the cart like a god, patting his shell and saying, "Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"
Then he patted the snail shell backpack again, and the ten big eggs and the bag of violent cabbages disappeared out of thin air again.
Shang Chong suddenly laughed out loud with excitement, "Dad!! From now on, you are my real dad! Please take your son with you no matter what! Let us conquer the world together!"
"And me, Brother Wu! I will definitely become your best little brother! Take me with you to conquer the world!"
Wu Xiangwang waved his hands in disdain at the two of them, thinking that with these two, the world would probably collapse on its own without any fight.
"However, my movement speed will be greatly reduced when I use this space backpack. I can't run or even walk briskly. So I have to use the backpack either when I'm resting or with your help."
Shang Chong simply waved his hand: "That's not a big deal! Dad can't walk, so of course he has to carry him on his back. Come here and let me carry my space dad!"
As Shang Chong said this, he was very excited and wanted to recite Wu Xiangwang on his back to show his "filial piety".
Then, he was directly pressed to the ground by Wu Xiangwang, who was carrying a snail shell backpack.
Yes, the kind that crushes you down so hard that you can’t even get up.
Shang Chong: “…”
Wu Xingyun: “…”
Wu Xiangwang: "...Son, your physical condition is not good. Are your kidneys weak again?"
Shang Chong was so angry that his hair stood on end.
In the end, it was the sturdy little cart that took it all.
During the lunch break, the large group of people in the front who had already built a small fire and put away their bedding saw the last group of people, the Blighted Electric Chicken team, coming over with a cart.
However, they did not come with one cart per person. The unlucky mushroom mutant was pushing a cart in front and had a rope tied around his waist while pulling another cart.
The guy with the electric thorn was pushing a light-colored cart, on which sat the pretty boy who was the only one who danced for the captain of the guards, looking like a landlord.
Why does this combination look so weird?
Moreover, how could these three people each have a cart when each team only had one cart, and some teams didn’t even have one cart?!
You see, they can’t use them all up!!!
When everyone was feeling very jealous, the newcomers and troops who had already set up camp heard the landlord's pretty face sitting on a cart with his bedding rolls speaking:
"Hey everyone, does anyone need a cart? We have too many carts here and we can't use them all. We'd like to sell one."
"No money is needed for transactions, just some household items can be exchanged. For example, kettles, water tanks, pots, pans, etc."
The pretty boy smiled cunningly:
"The highest bidder wins."
This damned landlord, a pretty boy! He actually wanted them to bid for the cart!
but……
"Our team will buy it! The wood-type esper in our team can make wooden bowls!!"
"What's a wood-type mutant? We have metal-type ones here! Do you want an unbreakable stainless steel basin?"
"You're all weaklings. This guy next to me has the Midas Touch! Handsome, wouldn't you consider getting one of these golden rice bowls? He's so cool!"
They really want a stroller of their own!
