Chapter 231: White Orchid Rain Festival (Thirteen)
Fortunately, Nineteen had just inquired clearly and knew where Old Man Zhang's home was. He first took the sleeping Old Man Zhang to the door and waited for the eldest lady and the chairman to catch all the escaped wood carvings.
"What do you think the young lady has come up with?"
Nineteen was waiting eagerly at the entrance of the alley, and was very curious, "Can we turn those little dragons into wooden sculptures and bring them back?"
Although President Barbie's injuries have improved, it is still very difficult to fully recover in this copy. She leaned against the door panel to rest, and shook her head when she heard Nineteen's words.
"It's unlikely. After all, the changes to the wood carvings occurred immediately after Old Man Zhang fell asleep," she said, looking a little pale and speaking with great effort. "On the other hand, it means that we have to wait until Old Man Zhang wakes up before those things can turn back into wood carvings. Otherwise, the prerequisites will be different."
"That's 143 little dragons that can't even be touched. How are we going to bring them all back?"
Nineteen sighed, "Every time I feel like I'm entering a different instance than the young lady did. Why can't we find anything?"
President Alice and President Hongfen, already spreading their hands as usual, gave her an expectant look, as if they were very interested in the young lady.
On the other side, Lingyue had already reunited with the eldest lady and the president. Nanhuan's original intention was to let Lingyue go find the main force first, but the other party insisted on staying with them so that they could be taken care of in case of any emergency.
In view of Lingyue's personal skills, Nanhuan did not insist any longer.
"Miss, how can you be sure that these wood carvings are heading in this direction?"
Lingyue looked up in a certain direction and saw the High Priest's Mansion, which they were very familiar with and had just left not long ago.
"I wasn't sure at first, but after seeing those wooden sculptures transform, they seemed to be eager to leave. I thought it was a bit strange?"
Relying on Nan Huan's wings, they returned to a location not far from the High Priest's Mansion before the first wave of little dragons arrived, and waited quietly for the transformed little dragons. Nan Huan hooked his little finger while explaining to Lingyue.
"Strange? What's strange about that?" Although Lingyue followed Nanhuan's arrangements, she was not clear about the other party's plan, nor did she know what the eldest lady wanted to do for the time being. "Why didn't we notice it?"
Her personal skills are not something that can be foreseen in every specific matter in every dungeon. She naturally has her own reasons for following this dungeon, but she also hopes to be of more help.
"President Barbie was attacked. What does this mean?"
Nan Huan glanced at the black gas hovering above the High Priest's Mansion. They had sensed Nan Huan's presence and began to stir. In the eyes of others, there was nothing there, but in the eyes of the eldest lady, she had been able to see it since she first entered Bailan City yesterday.
"That means those little dragons are not aiming to attack us, but they have the ability to do so." Lingyue took the eldest lady's question very seriously. When she said this, she suddenly remembered that little dragon that absorbed a certain amount of energy from President Barbie, and added, "They can even absorb our energy to make them grow."
Bei Xi kept paying attention to the direction Xiaolong might come from and did not interrupt the conversation between Nan Huan and Ling Yue.
"So in short, even though there are so many rations in front of these little dragons, they are not interested. Why do you think that is?"
Nan Huan chose a humorous way to give the other person some advice.
Lingyue suddenly realized what was going on as she looked at the black gas hovering above the High Priest's Mansion. "It's because they have better rations or energy than us..."
At first, the eldest lady asked her to pay attention to the direction in which the little dragons were flying. She thought that the eldest lady wanted to confirm the direction they left first so that she could collect them later. Unexpectedly, the eldest lady had already predicted the direction they were going from the beginning.
"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with these black gases? They are coming soon..."
Bei Xi looked in a certain direction at the alley entrance and confirmed with Nan Huan again. After all, the problematic black energy in the previous copy still frightened her.
"There's really no problem. It's just like the black gas in the water that the butler gave us yesterday. Wasn't it fine yesterday? Don't worry."
Nan Huan knew that she was worried about him, so he assured her again and again.
They were standing in front of the high priest's palace at this time. Nan Huan was surrounded by black air from her wrist to her entire body. She controlled it very well and did not completely absorb the black air. She just used her ability to control the black air around her.
The black gas hovering above the High Priest's Mansion was constantly present, and Nan Huan could feel it, so she needed a sleight of hand to attract the attention of those little dragons quickly and in large quantities within a short period of time.
Even though Bei Xi couldn't see the black air wrapped around her at this moment, he could still feel the energy overflowing from her body, and even some wind rose out of nowhere.
In a place that Beixi and Lingyue could not see, behind Nan Huan, like a peacock spreading its tail, a huge amount of black air gathered, like a sky curtain, controlled by her.
The first little dragon appeared immediately after Bei Xi spoke. As soon as it showed its head, Nan Huan turned around and signaled to Lingyue.
The other party took out a glass bead similar to a crystal ball from the control panel and threw it into the air. In an instant, a water curtain appeared on the long street, separating the high priest's mansion, her, the eldest lady and the president.
At the same time, Nan Huan stopped absorbing the black air from the High Priest's Mansion. He controlled himself not to swallow the black air. He stretched out his wings and swung back and forth in the air with Bei Xi.
Xiaolong's reaction was very sharp, and he locked onto the source of the black gas in an instant.
After all, they were heading in the same direction all the way, and now they had identified the source of the black gas. Faced with this huge temptation, they didn't even think about the slight difference before.
The Xiaolongs were very fast and were crowded in the alley. Nan Huan was able to control her wings with ease at first, treating the black air as red radishes and leading Xiaolong and the other donkeys away, but she also made sure that the donkeys could only see them but not eat them, and also prevented her and Beixi from being touched by Xiaolong.
Lingyue was watching with fear behind the water curtain, but now was not the time to be distracted, she had to follow the leader and confirm the number of little dragons in the shortest time possible.
After all, the mission requires that none of them can be missing, and this method only works once, so you have to be extra cautious.
"I have all the quantity here."
Lingyue concentrated her attention and finally gave the happy news after a while.
Bei Xi has more things to do. After all, little dragons will rush up from time to time, and she also has to make sure that these things don't touch Nan Huan and herself. Besides, she can't kill them. It's like dancing with shackles on.
Finally, after Nanhuan pulled his wings and accelerated around a bend in a narrow alley, Beixi spat out the good news, "Everything is here, we can start the next step."
After Nan Huan found the direction of Old Man Zhang's house, he changed into wing form and asked the system, "I want to use the gifted skill, supersonic speed."
[The gifted skill supersonic speed has been activated. Within five minutes, the player can move at supersonic speed, as well as the microsecond-level decisions derived from this situation.
A single use consumes 5,000 points. The skill has no cooldown time. As long as you have enough points, you can keep this speed. 】
The moment the system prompt sounded, Nan Huan was seen bringing Bei Xi, flapping their wings, moving towards the direction of Nineteen and the others at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
The black energy on her body naturally also dragged a long tail, like bait, attracting the little dragons behind her to follow.
Her speed increased, and in Nan Huan's eyes, everything around her slowed down. She could even feel the time it took for the breeze to slide from her cheek to her chin.
The mind is clear and thinking ability is greatly improved.
This is what it means to make a decision in microseconds. Her body's reaction speed quickened, and her brain's reaction speed also quickened. Time seemed infinitely stretched in her eyes.
What’s more, this skill has no cooldown time. As long as you have enough points, you can use it continuously, and it can also be used in combination with wings.
Nan Huan was very satisfied with this gift skill, which made up for the loss of no rewards in the previous copy.
It took them several minutes to fly to the high priest's palace, but it only took less than a few seconds to come back.
Before Nineteen and the others could react, they heard the eldest lady's voice on the communication channel.
"Open Old Man Zhang's house and get the people in. I've brought back all the wood carvings. Stay away to avoid accidental injuries."
Fortunately, Nineteen and the others were always prepared. They opened the door and embarrassed themselves before protecting themselves. They just happened to catch Nan Huan coming back with the thing behind him.
The little dragons were so stimulated by the delicious taste emitted by the black gas that they lost their minds. At first, they thought the delicious taste was very close to them, but for some reason, the black gas seemed to start accelerating. They had no time to think and followed it driven by instinct.
Then Nineteen watched the eldest lady flapping her wings and rushing into Old Man Zhang's yard at a speed several times faster than usual. Behind her, a swarm of little dragons followed her in desperately. They were incredibly well-behaved, if not for their slightly ferocious faces.
After all the little dragons entered the yard, Old Man Zhang, who had originally had no reaction, suddenly opened his eyes.
Those wood carvings that had transformed into living creatures seemed to be powered off in an instant. They were originally eagerly looking for their own delicious food, but suddenly lost control of their bodies and turned back into their original appearance of wood carvings. One by one, they fell back into the basket on Old Man Zhang's shoulder pole like dumplings.
The task description is to send Old Man Zhang home, and no one can be left behind, so after Xiaolong and Old Man Zhang arrive home, the one who should wake up will wake up, and as soon as Old Man Zhang wakes up, the wood carvings will return to their original state, as if the other party had suddenly fallen asleep.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and made sure that there was no danger in the yard that could absorb energy before they came in together. Lingyue also rushed back after retracting the water curtain.
"Miss, how did you do that?"
Nineteen was stunned. "Even if I use my body to lure those little dragons, they won't all follow me back obediently, right?"
No one else in this instance could see the black air, so Nan Huan didn't try to hide it. "It's the same principle as the water last night."
The other presidents present had seen or understood the eldest lady's wing problem before, but this was the first time the worker president had seen such a situation. She had not closed her mouth since entering the yard.
"Is this your personal skill? Your flying speed is faster than any flying props?" The Workers' Guild President had heard about the eldest lady's personal skills before, but there were many versions that were passed on, and most of them sounded unreliable. Now seeing this scene with her own eyes, she was shocked more than a little. "It's so cool, can I touch it? It looks like a real wing. Is the personal skill so well integrated with you?"
The Workers' Guild President had been looking listless since entering this copy. This was the first time that she did not look sleepy. Her eyes were wide open and sparkling, like a child who had seen something new.
If the vice-president of their guild was still there, she should have noticed the expression of the guild leader and reminded her to pay attention to the occasion and wording, but the other party was blocked along with the players of other guilds, so no one reminded her at all.
Nanhuan didn't think there was anything wrong, but Beixi was a little unhappy.
"Of course not. Do you think it's a nice sight?"
Bei Xi's tone was a little unfriendly, and the other presidents in the yard all pretended to look up at the empty sky, trying to pretend that they saw nothing.
Bei Xi warned the other party fiercely and looked at Nan Huan.
The latter obediently retracted its wings within a few seconds and showed a well-behaved smile.
Then I felt that it was a bit rude to the head of the Workers Guild, so I had to explain, "My skills are quite complicated, and I can't explain it in a short time. This is part of my skills. The wings are real, growing on the body, and the touch is similar to that of birds, but a little softer. I can't let you touch them."
Her frank refusal and explanation eased the awkward atmosphere.
Everyone here completed the task and temporarily resolved the crisis, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. However, when Old Man Zhang woke up, he saw the wood carvings that were exactly the same size, and he showed an expression of obvious surprise.
He even staggered to Nan Huan and asked incoherently, "Can you really do it? Can you really do it?"
He looked at Nan Huan, who sounded very excited, and turned back to look at the wood carvings. "Their size hasn't changed at all. You really can do it. That's great. Finally, there is hope. There is hope..."
He muttered a few words in a mysterious manner and wanted to hold Nan Huan's hand, but was finally stopped by Bei Xi.
What Bei Xi hates most are those people who come up to him for no reason, no matter if they are NPCs or players. Even though they have no ulterior motives, Bei Xi just can't stand them.
"Old man, what do you mean?" Nan Huan had no objection to Bei Xi's behavior, but he keenly noticed that Old Man Zhang's attitude had completely changed, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean I can do?"
This is a good opportunity to get information, how can we let it go?
But Old Man Zhang had obviously recovered from his shock. He looked at Nan Huan as if he had a lot to say, but for some reason, he couldn't explain anything in the end and just kept repeating the same sentence over and over again.
"I've finally waited for it, I've finally waited for it..."
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for completing the special side quests - not one less. 】
The system came online at the right time, interrupting Nan Huan's questioning, and the task was completed exceptionally smoothly.
[Task Rewards:
1. Wooden amulet*1. This reward is only given to outstanding contributors in this special side quest. Please check it.
2. Tips about withered dragon scale paper: Only dragons who are willing to sacrifice themselves and burn their scales in the fire can get withered dragon scale paper. A dragon can only produce one piece of paper. 】
Except for Nan Huan and the first president, the rest of the players were very self-aware. They all won without doing anything and were already satisfied to get the news about the dragon scale paper. As for the amulet, they didn't even consider it.
It was also the first time that the president of the working people's union experienced what it felt like to hug a thick and strong thigh. It was so cool.
As for the outstanding contributor to this side quest, there is no doubt that it must be the eldest lady.
At this time, Old Man Zhang also walked up to Nanhuan, holding the only wooden sculpture that had not turned into a little dragon.
