Chapter 245: White Orchid Rain Festival (Twenty-Seven)
Following the system's second identical prompt, no miracle occurred, no dragon god appeared, and Nan Huan's help was of no use.
In the end, the sharp dragon scales shining with golden light pierced into Jiusheng's body.
The strange thing was that it did not cause too big a wound, but Jiusheng's body was like a rubber ball with a black hole in it. The red lines that were sealed inside the body seemed to be half unrestrained and scattered everywhere.
The warm hands and the bright red blood brought the Dragon Envoy back to her senses for a moment. Disbelief flashed in her eyes. She stared at the saint's wound, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Jiusheng had a smile on his face, but due to blood loss, his face was very pale and his smile seemed weak.
"Remember, don't go to the pawn shop. It's good to end everything like this..."
Compared to the Dragon God who had no idea what the Saint said meant, Nan Huan and his group widened their eyes in disbelief.
The Dragon Envoy was only conscious for a short time. Just when Nan Huan was worried that she would continue to hurt Jiusheng, he discovered that the other party's purpose, or the purpose of the person who controlled her, was not to take Jiusheng's life, but simply to make the red lines in Jiusheng's body disappear.
At this point, if Nan Huan and the others didn't know that the so-called Dragon Envoy in front of them was the owner of the pawn ticket, then all their efforts would have been in vain.
So when the local people were restored to their controlled state and left the Dragon God Temple, they followed without much thought.
At this rate of progress, the other party might get in touch with the pawnshop soon, so of course they had to stop them. So they had to temporarily put aside the injured Jiusheng. In fact, they could not help Jiusheng at all.
After all, after seeing Jiusheng injured, Nan Huan tried to use the medicine he took out from the control panel, but it was of no use at all.
But the system never gives them the chance to cheat. The moment they followed the Dragon Envoy out of the Dragon God Temple, everything in front of their eyes suddenly went dark.
At the same time, the president of the Corpse Chaser Guild and the president of the Gambler Guild were faced with other different scenes.
But this time, they didn't see the Dragon Envoy, not even Qingqing. There was only the dark shadow of the Dragon Lord suspended in the air not far away. The moment the Gambler's Guild President confirmed this fact, he felt a chill down his spine.
It was obvious that this scene was different from the previous ones. The location and the people were different. The gambler's guild leader was unsure of what the situation was, so he was cautious and did not speak.
The president of the corpse-driving guild had even less psychological burden and just lowered his head and pretended to be dead.
But a light voice came from the Dragon Lord, which shocked the two of them.
"I know you are not dragons."
Her voice was still cold, not serious, and she didn't have that sense of satisfaction of catching a traitor. She was calm as if she was just stating a fact.
The Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Driver's Guild President raised their heads at the same time, expressions of fear and frustration revealed on their faces.
It was discovered just like that. What went wrong?
They didn't even exchange a few words, so the system's basic camouflage must have been inadequate.
Did the mission fail?
For the Corpse Driver's Guild Leader, the success or failure of this mission was not important. He already knew who the real trader was anyway, so although he felt regretful, it was not particularly big. In comparison, he was able to follow the Gambler's Guild Leader all the time, and it was obvious that he was interested in the piece of faith totem fragment that the other party had obtained.
But it was different for the Gambler's Guild President. The Dragon Lord's words made his whole brain start to numb. He wanted to find some variables in this task to see if there was any possibility of self-rescue while fulfilling the pawn ticket agreement with Yizhihua.
But this was just the beginning. He hadn't even figured out what this forced mission was for, but it was suddenly discovered. This was the most complete failure of a side quest in all the copies he had entered as the president.
He felt that he had lost the ability to think in an instant. He didn't know how to face the system's prompt that the task had failed, nor did he know whether Yizhihua would come directly to find him after he finished the task.
But it was not known whether the actual physical sensation was prolonged, or the system needed time to determine that they had been discovered. In any case, while the Gambler's Guild President was waiting for the sword to hang over his head and slowly regaining his sanity, the system's prompt sound did not sound.
Is there something wrong with the system?
This shouldn't be the case. Last time at the rest area, the system sounded a warning, but I didn't hear any now.
But if it is not a system problem, it means that their mission has not failed.
But how is that possible?
The system prompt clearly states: Once it is discovered that you are not one of them, the special side quest will fail immediately.
etc……
You? Them?
The Gambler Guild President realized belatedly that what the Dragon Lord had just said was "I know you are not of the Dragon Clan", not "I know you are not of my race."
The prompts given by the system are obviously only for members of the dragon clan. Once they find out that you are not a dragon, the mission will fail immediately.
But now the system has no prompt, which also means...
The Gambler's Guild President raised his head and looked seriously at the black dragon shadow.
"How did you know that?" The Gambler's Guild Leader held his breath and did not question the other party about his discovery. "Did we reveal any flaws?"
Although he didn't know the other party's identity, there were no other dragons around and the other party did not show any murderous intent. The Gambler's Guild President chose this question as a slight test.
But the Dragon Lord obviously didn't care about seeing through them, and he didn't show any respect to the Gambler's Guild President's question. "I just want to make sure of something, and you guys happen to be of some use."
If she had a specific form, the Gambler's Guild President guessed that she would be squinting at him now, as if she was looking at some kind of tool, and she wouldn't even look at him twice if she didn't need to.
"If you want the Dragon Envoy to go to the pawn shop obediently, then do as I say," the black dragon shadow flew up and down, and the words he spoke seemed a little unkind, "You keep this thing, and if anything goes wrong at the last critical moment, put it on the Dragon Envoy, and everything will go smoothly."
The Gambler's Guild President was not impressed by the other party's words at first, and even thought that this was an ambush arranged by the system in the mission. However, as the topic of the pawnshop was brought up, it was impossible for him not to be shocked.
After all, how could an NPC in a side quest jump out of this quest, or even jump out of this copy, and know the purpose of their coming here? Moreover, according to the setting, shouldn’t this have happened in the past?
As soon as the Dragon Lord finished speaking, the Gambler's Guild President saw a wisp of black air being separated from the black dragon shadow, and it had already entered his body without even his consent.
Apart from the visual aspect, there is no real feeling about the Gambler's Guild President, as if he is just a simple container.
The other party is not a dragon, and they know their purpose, and their purpose seems to be the same as theirs.
From the mess of information, the Gambler's Guild President quickly sorted out the three most important pieces of information.
The mission had not failed, much less ended, so he was forced to be a container for a while, so it must have been worth it.
"How can I get this thing out?" The Gambler's Guild leader quickly followed suit. "According to what you said, we should be there at the last critical moment. When is that?"
The Dragon Lord showed no emotion at his sudden change of attitude, as if he knew that the other party would definitely compromise.
"My things are spiritual. I have just completed everything you need to do."
The black dragon shadow only chose the part it wanted to answer, then swept its long tail and left like a gust of wind.
The scene between the Gambler's Guild President and the Corpse Chaser's Guild President ended.
When he opened his eyes again, Nan Huan was surprised to find that Bailan City looked much more dilapidated than before, especially the yellow sand that filled the sky and had formed a thin layer on the ground.
The entire Bailan City has begun to suffer from water shortage, and there seem to be fewer residents in the city, with the streets appearing empty.
They had been in this scene for several minutes, but no one was seen.
Just when we turned the corner, a group of people suddenly ran over from the front in a panic.
Bei Xi hugged Nan Huan to prevent her from being hit. At the same time, she smelled a strong smell of blood.
Nan Huan also noticed that something was wrong with those residents. There were large stains of blood on their clothes, faces and exposed skin, as if they had encountered something bad.
“Hahahaha, he’s finally dead, he’s finally dead…”
A burst of crazy laughter suddenly broke out from the crowd of three or four, and then someone joined in.
"It's better to die, it's better to die, otherwise we don't know how long we will be kept in the dark?"
"After deceiving us for so long, it feels like they are getting it easy by just solving the problem like this..."
…
These fanatical speeches and the residents who suddenly became crazy or even insane made Nan Huan feel uneasy. She had a bad premonition.
The human smile became distorted, and in Nanhuan's mind it corresponded with the faces of those praying devoutly, and was covered by an expression of long-lasting pain. She seemed to feel something in an instant, and her heart ached uncontrollably.
The system, or this special side quest, deliberately skipped important scenes, which made them feel anxious. They quickened their pace, as if they wanted to confirm something, or as if they couldn't resist the pain in their hearts and just wanted a quick answer.
Nan Huan followed Bei Xi's footsteps woodenly, but at another alley, she bumped into Bei Xi who suddenly stopped in front of her. She touched her head, not understanding why the other party stopped now?
The Workers' President and President Alice beside them also stopped and looked ahead in surprise.
Then Nan Huan followed their gaze and saw the dragon envoy walking towards him, covered in blood, with three quarters of his body covered by black air.
She must have been injured and was walking with difficulty, but she was still holding the sword in her hand. Her face was ashen and her eyes showed no sign of flexibility as she walked stubbornly in a certain direction.
