Chapter 50: Deadly Road Friendly Race
The car in front of Qiao Song and the others was also very strange. The shell was more like the remains of some insect than metal. It was very similar to the Beetle hearse on the promotional poster of the Hearse Entertainment Company, except for slight differences in color and shape.
Gao Chengcheng felt a little nervous. She was worried that the other party was coming to cause trouble for her and that Qiao Song would be implicated.
After all, when she quit the guild, it wasn't particularly smooth, and it even caused quite a stir. But those guys should have quit the Land of Dawn by now, and the remaining members who just wanted to go home wouldn't cause trouble for her in the dungeon.
"Sister Qiao Song..." Before Gao Chengcheng could finish her words, "Why don't you go first?", she saw the golden car in front slowly approaching Qiao Song's side.
The winding mountain road of Huoyan Mountain is a spacious four-lane road, large enough for three of their cars to drive side by side.
The golden hearse slowly slowed down and cut into the passage on Qiao Song's left. The window glass made of some special material and glowing with rainbow light was lowered, revealing a girl in the passenger seat.
She was wearing a strange witch's costume, her white hair was tied into two ponytails, her eyes were red, and it was unclear whether she was wearing cosmetic contact lenses. At this moment, she was chewing a bubble gum, with her hands on the car window, looking at Qiao Song seriously. Suddenly, the wind was too strong and the bubble was blown to pieces by her.
"Ouch, you stinky lion, can you please drive more steadily? The bubble gum almost got stuck to my hair!"
Sitting in the driver's seat was a man who already had some bestial features. Qiao Song could even see the light-colored mane on his temples and the stunning golden animal eyes when he tilted his head slightly.
The driver's voice was hoarse and low: "Hurry up and talk about business. If you keep chewing your broken bubble gum, I will throw you out with the gum."
The little loli, who seemed to be cosplaying the White-haired Witch, snorted, did not dare to refute, then continued to cling to the car window and smiled sweetly.
"Hello, young lady. I saw on the leaderboard that you haven't joined a union yet. Are you interested in coming to our Dawnland?"
In addition to the vehicle score, the guild to which the driver belongs will appear behind the name of the driver on the leaderboard. A name like Qiao Song who suddenly came up from behind attracted a lot of attention in a short period of time, otherwise there would not have been so many matching applications from the maintenance team at the beginning of the racing copy.
But now we are halfway through the race, and these people suddenly slowed down just to say this?
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows and said in a puzzled tone: "The road race has already started. Aren't we all competitors? Is there any benefit for me to join your guild at this time?"
Qiao Song still remembered the information Gao Chengcheng had told her before, the Land of Dawn, an organization where all members would do anything to return home. Why was he suddenly interested in her?
After all, the Newcomer Alliance still has a reputation for inviting newcomers.
The white-haired little witch immediately smiled and revealed a small sharp canine tooth: "If you join, we guarantee that you will be one of the top 10. If you don't join, you will of course be our potential enemy."
She said the most vicious words with the most innocent and kind face: "All enemies of Dawnland will be eradicated. Of course, for an outstanding newcomer like you, we must come here in advance to inquire about your willingness~ Oh, don't believe those bad rumors about Dawnland outside. The members of our guild are all very outstanding and very united~"
"The dungeon still takes a long time, can you please give it some thought~"
She spoke as if the driver who had threatened to throw her out if she didn't work hard was not her companion.
Gao Chengcheng was able to hear their conversation through the intercom function of her cell phone. She was immediately a little anxious and wanted to remind Qiao Song not to jump into the fire pit, but she felt that the person over there seemed to be an acquaintance. Could this white-haired guy be...
The little loli with white hair and twin ponytails seemed to have just noticed an ice cream truck driving side by side with her through Qiao Song's car window.
"Hey, isn't this Gao Chengcheng?"
The white-haired little witch stopped chewing bubble gum and this time chewed an unopened lollipop. She waved from afar, "Gao Chengcheng, you haven't died in the dungeon yet. How's our dog brother?"
The girl in the ice cream cart was suddenly stunned. It was true that enemies always meet again. Why did it happen to be this annoying guy?
She subconsciously glanced at her brother who was trembling all over.
"Hey, brother, how about you hide for a while?"
Gao Bin immediately looked at her with an expression that said "what nonsense are you talking about?"
"After all, didn't Bai You, that psychopath, swear to take you home and make you his own after he transformed once - um -"
The dog quickly used its paw to pull out an ice cream and stuffed it into Gao Chengcheng's mouth.
"She is dressed as a witch this time. She must have activated her divination skills. She came here specifically to find Qiao Song."
The little white-haired witch, Bai You, immediately took out a strange card after seeing Gao Chengcheng: "I was wondering why the fortune telling was both smooth and unsuccessful. It turns out that an old acquaintance is messing things up."
"That gossipy Gao Chengcheng has probably already said something bad about Dawnland, so I'll make it short. I predict that we'll have a good opportunity to work together in the future, so I'll come over to try to win you over. As for joining the union, you can think about it more~"
The driver next to him immediately sneered: "So you are not sure about pulling people over at all. You are really wasting my time."
Bai You immediately let out a sigh, and before the lion got angry, he quickly took out a strange card, as if he wanted to stuff the card into Qiao Song's car.
Qiao Song held the card in one hand: "What does it mean?"
Bai You smiled sweetly: "If you figure it out later, you can use this card to contact me at any time, but only before you leave this copy~"
After saying that, she blew a kiss and patted the car door.
The driver, who had long lost his patience, stepped on the accelerator and sped up to get rid of them.
Putting aside other things, Qiao Song really can't keep up with this acceleration ability. Her car focuses on attack and defense, so it is not light enough accordingly.
Gao Chengcheng added an explanation: "These large guilds will purposefully strengthen the characteristics of their vehicles. The fastest cars are basically driven by the best people in the guild. Bai You has actually made it to the top tier of the Dawnland dungeon."
After sighing, Gao Chengcheng's eyes couldn't help but drift to the card in Qiao Song's hand.
Through the car window, Qiao Song shook the card so that she could see it clearly.
"The Witch card, my brother actually guessed it right..." Gao Chengcheng muttered, and continued, "That guy's name is Bai You, and his ability is very strong, which is related to changing clothes. Every time he switches his ability, his whole body shape will change, and he will also be infected with the various habits of the COS object."
Having said that, she subconsciously glanced at her brother, and Gouzi bared his teeth warningly: Don't talk nonsense.
Gao Chengcheng coughed and continued, "If I remember correctly, Bai You had two skills when she turned into a witch. One seemed to be a movement skill, which allowed her to use a black cat broom or something like that. The other was a divination card, which could help her avoid disaster and attract good luck, and give her a certain sense of major events that would happen in the future. The invitation to you to join the guild was fake, and she came here now, probably to test whether you were the object of her divination."
Hearing this, Qiao Song turned the card in his hand over and over again. There was a dynamic picture on it of a little witch riding a broom and wearing a pointed wide hat, who looked like Bai You's cartoon image.
Seeing Qiao Song looking at her, the little witch winked at her secretly and made a phone call gesture with the hand that was not holding the broom.
Although Gao Chengcheng and Bai You don't get along, they also know that the other party is barely someone they can communicate with in the Land of Dawn.
"This card should be able to be used as a voice card, and it can also be used for positioning. If you don't want to use it, you can throw it away."
Qiao Song thought about it for a while and decided to stay.
If the so-called divination skill has a high accuracy, then even if she throws away this card, there is a high possibility that she will have other interactions with the other party in the future, so it is better to keep it first.
She was very interested in the skills of these players. Witches?
The golden car in front was gradually returning to the front position of the first echelon. Qiao Song had been paying attention to the flames on the red rocks. After seeing a large ball of flames generated in front, he suddenly locked onto a car at the edge.
At first glance, the car was from the Roaring Dragon Boat dungeon. A golden dragon was hovering around the vehicle, and some wave logos could be seen at the front and rear of the car. I wonder which guild the leader belonged to.
It seemed that the other party and the Land of Dawn were not getting along well. When they saw the golden car trying to rush forward again, the Dragon Boat Car immediately swayed to the side, allowing the flame that was about to capture them to fall onto the golden roof of the Land of Dawn.
The three elves gradually flew up and floated to the side of the golden car, taking the house with them.
"Dear friend, would you like to come to my house for dinner? Here there are sweet little flames and happy good friends~"
Just when Qiao Song thought that the other party was going to use some special skills to deal with this group of elves, he heard a majestic roll and a huge arm with well-defined muscles suddenly stretched out from the left driver's seat. Lion-like golden hair quickly stretched on the arm, and the next second, the three fire elves were actually pulled down by one hand.
"Your friend, over there—"
The deep male voice stretched out its tone, and the irritable Leo man directly rolled the three fire elves into a ball, swung them hard, and slammed them hard on the window of a dragon boat car that had just deliberately dodged.
The elf that was knocked away immediately grew larger in size, and was about to smash the car in anger. However, at this time, the members of the Dawn Village had already stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward. Only the three elves on the dragon boat car who had already started to act were left, hammering their car desperately.
"Why don't you come to my house for dinner?! Why do you treat your friends like this?! I'm going to tear you apart!!!"
This is a typical case of being unable to catch up with the culprit and having to vent your anger on the spot.
The dragon boat vehicle reacted quickly as well. The golden dragon used as decoration on the vehicle's shell suddenly opened its eyes and swam on the vehicle body. After discovering the target on the roof that was covered in fire, the dragon immediately opened its mouth and spit out a large amount of ice-blue water.
Zizi—zizi—
The sound of flames being extinguished by water was heard. The three enlarged fire elves that almost covered the roof of the car gradually shrank in size under the water. Finally, they jumped off the car listlessly and turned back into flames on the top of the mountain.
This was the third time that Qiao Song witnessed the violent resolution of flames. The zombie brother who had previously hit the coffin lid was eliminated directly, probably because the wood was restrained by the flames. The Leo man who grabbed the flames with his bare hands, although he looked very powerful, had a lot of hair on his hands burned by the fire spirit.
This dragon boat vehicle is quite interesting, as its water attribute directly restrains the NPC on the Flame Mountain.
Not every player can solve the problem of fire elves using this method.
The crazy microphone in the sky is reporting the situation of the entire highway in real time.
"Oh, it can be seen that most of these players are quite indifferent. Many of them did not accept our elf's invitation to dinner, but directly used violent means to drive them away. It is understandable that the poor little guys are angry. Look, another car was swallowed by the fire elf. It's really overestimating one's own ability. Not every player has the ability to directly reject the elf.
Yes, we can see that a player has chosen to accept the invitation of the fire elves. Let's zoom in and see what he is doing now. Wow, what a grand fireworks display! The elves are so hospitable. It seems that the accelerated ghosts behind are about to rush over to have a hot outdoor barbecue. However, the players don't seem to be particularly happy to be the objects of being eaten. "
This headache-inducing live broadcast allows almost every player who has witnessed the power of the elves to imagine the consequences of vehicles caught in flames.
But as she watched, not far from the car in front of Qiao Song, a large ball of flames had gathered again and was drifting towards the window at the speed of her car.
Since this road is a ring road around the mountain, there are more rocks and flames on the left side of the road. On Gao Chengcheng's side, the road gradually becomes a cliff-like place as he goes up the mountain.
She also saw the large group of flames getting closer and closer: "Sister Qiao Song, why don't we change positions? My ice cream should be able to restrain them. These monsters shouldn't come in waves. After defeating them, we just need to finish this road quickly."
Whether accepting the invitation or rejecting it, a fight is inevitable, so it is better to reject it from the beginning. At least you can get away from these flames that will obviously damage the vehicle earlier.
However, Qiao Song didn't quite believe what Mike Feng was broadcasting so loudly.
"I'll try to accept the invitation. Don't use your skills first."
Among the three item cards she bound, one was a defense item card, which could only be used three times and had been used once in the dinosaur copy.
【Defense bubble film】
[A thin and useless layer of water defense. The most important thing about the spherical bubble is its suction power. When facing all-round attacks, it can instantly absorb attacks from multiple angles and slow down the speed of the attacks. Why does it only slow down the speed? After all, it is just a layer of bubble film, not a real shield.]
I originally brought this with me to prevent being besieged in the road race, but I didn't expect that I would be able to use it in the first Flame Mountain.
"Drive a little further out. I'll go and try to accept the fire spirit's invitation."
This Flame Mountain copy clearly mentions two creatures, elves and monsters, but no monsters have appeared so far, only elves. In the absence of sufficient intelligence, blindly engaging in a military exchange with the opponent is not a good choice.
Coupled with the obviously misleading broadcast from the golden microphone, all players felt that dealing with these fire elves seemed to be a very dangerous thing.
Qiao Song is not only stubborn but also rebellious. She wants to try out what kind of treatment she will get if she goes to Huo Miao's house for dinner.
After a burst of cheerful singing, three small flames holding hands, along with a burning house on fire, floated outside Qiao Song's car.
They knocked politely on the window and then started singing.
"Dear friend, would you like to come to my house for dinner?"
Qiao Song lowered the car window and smiled, "Okay."
Seeing that she agreed, the elf immediately held her hand happily and circled around Qiao Song's car: "The guest agrees, let's take her home!"
The small house floating next to them immediately floated to the front of the car, and then quickly enlarged into a door. Qiao Song's car, which was originally driving on the road, seemed to be pulled directly into the door. The car continued to move forward, but it drove into a red tunnel.
In a flash, Qiao Song, who had just been sitting in the car and speeding away, found himself sitting at a dining table.
Three fiery red figures of the same size as her sat at the marble dining table, opened their mouths wide and asked her with a smile: "My good friend, what do you like to eat? I'll pick it up for you~"
The first thing Qiao Song realized was that the chair he was sitting on was actually made of stone. Because it was not a flammable material, it did not burn quickly. After all, the restaurant was surrounded by flames.
But she could also feel the surface of her skin rapidly heating up, as if it was about to be burned.
The fire elves in front of her urged her again: "What do you want to eat? Don't you want to eat with us? Choose one quickly."
Qiao Song looked at the plates in front of him. There were four plates in total, one containing burning small round stones, one burning large cube, one burning strip of unknown object, and a plate of burning soup.
If she ate it directly, she would probably have to join the big family of fire elves.
Seeing that she didn't respond, the three little men slowly stood up from the table. They moved their heads closer and closer, their eyes full of anger: "Why don't you eat? Why don't you eat?"
The sign that fire elves are angry is that their bodies swell up little by little.
Qiao Song picked up a pair of ceramic chopsticks and was slightly scalded by the temperature of the chopsticks. Without changing her expression, she evenly ate the food from each plate and put a little into the bowl in front of her.
Fortunately, the bowl is a porcelain bowl.
"Thank you for your hospitality. These foods look delicious, but I want to take them back for my family to taste. Is that ok?"
After saying that, she took out the toolbox and put the bowl and the burning things inside into the net bag in a lightning speed. Her net bag had special storage properties and was not burned by the fire. Instead, it directly locked up the things.
Seeing their good friends coming to visit and eating and taking things, the three elves were a little stunned.
Before they had time to get angry, their new friend took out a bunch of colorful things and said with a smile: "When I go to someone's house for dinner, of course I have to give you gifts in return. This is what I got in other copies. Those kids love to eat it. Do you want to have some too?"
She took out the daily necessities that she and Tang Xiaoxiao had packed at the Guili Convenience Store. Some of them were for ghosts to eat, and some were human food. She was not sure whether these three elves were ghosts or special creatures, so she simply took out some of them.
Seeing the three elves in a daze, she urged them on purpose.
"Why don't you accept my things? Isn't it a give-and-take relationship between friends?"
After triggering the keyword "friend", the three elves finally reacted. The two taller ones grabbed the snacks for ghosts to eat. After the packaging bags melted quickly, the food inside turned into blood in their hands and merged into their bodies. The two big guys' eyes lit up and they said it was delicious.
The obviously smaller guy in the middle seemed more interested in human food.
She grabbed a bag of potato chips, and it melted in her hand with a sizzle, emitting thick black smoke. There was a lot of oil in the potato chips, so it immediately burned and gave off a burnt smell.
Not only did it smell bad, but it also destroyed the things her friends gave her.
The flame on the little man's body immediately wilted, and he retracted his hand as if he was at a loss.
She whispered to her two companions, especially Qiao Song: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
A larger fire elf suddenly held her shoulders and said, "Don't cry, sister. It's not your fault."
The other one, however, directed a malicious look at Qiao Song, as if it was Qiao Song's fault that the potato chips were burnt, not his sister's.
Qiao Song put aside the foods that could not withstand fire, and then took a few snacks for ghosts. Ever since Xiao Ni joined the team, she always kept these things in her toolbox.
"It's okay, I still have some here. Friends won't get angry over such trivial matters, right?"
The two tall men at the side turned their eyes over and circled around her. The little fire elf finally stopped crying, and this time she did not touch those people's snacks. Instead, she ate a ghost snack that her brother had just opened. After the blood melted, it would directly penetrate into their skin and replenish the body like nutrients.
Soon, the burning wall clock in the living room made a tinkling sound, and it was past dinner time.
The two little fire elves on the side didn't say anything, but the little guy in the middle smiled happily.
"Thank you for having dinner with us. You are our good friend."
Qiao Song's eyes blurred and she appeared out of thin air in the car he was driving.
Gao Chengcheng beside her immediately asked her loudly: "Sister Qiao Song, how are you? You just suddenly disappeared from the car!"
Qiao Song looked at the hairs on her arms that had obviously been burned by the fire, and part of her skin had turned red and burned.
I think my real body just appeared directly in the fire elf's house.
It seems that if you accept the invitation, you will go directly into their home, but if you fail to eat the other party's food or satisfy them, you will be burned to death in that house.
This is a really hardcore way to make friends.
"It's okay. It should be a small built-in copy. I passed it and got a prop card."
On the center console of the car, next to the original three card slots, there appeared a floating flame card that was obviously not inserted into the card slot.
【Good friend invitation card】
[There is a group of elves living in the Fire Mountain. They have always longed to have new friends, but other people not only cannot play with them, but also always scold them for hurting themselves. But it doesn't matter, now you are their friend! Use this card to call them, and the fire elves will come to pick you up to have dinner at his house (Note: You can bring your friends with you, after all, they are hospitable and lonely elves)]
If I understand correctly, this is an escape card, but it is best not to use it lightly, otherwise escaping into a burning house full of flames may just be moving from a wolf's den into a tiger's lair.
But at least Qiao Song knew that there was a way to crack the invitation of the fire elves on this map, and that crazy Mike was indeed misleading them to fight with the flames.
The remaining question is, the elves and monsters live in the Flaming Mountain. The elves have already invited them to visit, but what about the monsters?
