◎ Very suitable for united front work◎
After listening to Beishan Wolf's story, Xia Li finally understood why most of the Beiming Youyu members had such crooked butts.
Because more than half of the people in this guild were recruited by Black Tengu!
It is said that birds of a feather flock together. With Black Tengou's character, the people he attracts are basically the same as him.
It would have been fine if Beishan Lang, the guild president, had identified these people in time and not allowed them to join. However, he had some real-life matters to attend to during that time and was rarely online. As a result, all matters of the guild fell on the shoulders of his good brother Hei Tiangou, with some minor matters being managed by Beishan Miao.
Some people's character changes dramatically once they achieve power and status, and Black Tengu was clearly one of those people. Under his repeated impositions of control and oppression, some of the guild's older members couldn't stand it and gradually left. Those who remained unwilling to leave were targeted and ostracized by Black Tengu.
When Beishan Wolf came back online, he discovered that the guild had undergone a major personnel change.
The diligent old members are gone, replaced by new members who are as unreliable as Black Tengu. Under the leadership of Black Tengu, these newcomers seem to have been brainwashed. They only listen to him no matter what they do, and they look down on Beishan Lang, the real president.
It even became a topic of private gossip among others, saying that they shared good fortunes but not hardship. At the guild's inception, when it needed help the most, he abandoned the guild, leaving Black Tengu to run the guild alone, working himself to exhaustion. Once the guild was established, he, the so-called leader, emerged.
The newcomers felt that a veteran like Black Tengu, who worked tirelessly for the guild, must have at least contributed some hard work, no matter how much credit he had.
As a result, not only did he fail to gain the recognition of Beishan Wolf, but he was blamed for Black Tengu squeezing out the old people, misusing the guild funds without a plan, and spending the capital accumulated at the beginning on things that should not be used.
Beishan Wolf's behavior was immediately met with disgust and resistance from other members of the guild. The timid ones only dared to complain behind his back, while the hot-tempered ones deliberately challenged him in front of everyone to embarrass him. From that time on, Black Tengu also openly treated him badly.
Xia Li buried her head and slowly drew circles on the sand with her fingers. Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard not far away. The fingers that were drawing circles stopped immediately and she concentrated her attention to listen to the sound that was gradually approaching them.
Seeing she remained silent, Beishan Wolf continued, "The guild members had a big fight with me a few days ago, saying I was always trying to get by, and that I didn't have the guts to fight the people on the west bank of Lake Bo. Unlike Black Tengu, who led them to a head-on confrontation when I was away."
Xia Li asked him back, "Did he win?"
Beishan Wolf: "No."
"That's right," Xia Li couldn't see his face, so she could only identify Beishan Wolf's location by his voice. "You can still rank up by just trying to get by, but going head-to-head will only lead to an ugly death. Just go interview any passerby on the street, and I guarantee that 90% of the players will support your choice."
As for the remaining 10%, they were all players with the same peculiar thinking patterns as Black Tengu, and were not within the scope of her discussion.
Beishan Wolf paused for a few seconds and said, "Well, what you said seems to make sense."
But her voice was still a little depressed: "But Meow Meow doesn't think the same as you. She thinks... Black Tengu is better than me."
Xia Li cried out in pain, reaching out her hand and about to pat Beishan Wolf's lonely shoulder: "Then let them be together, let them live together forever, how wonderful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her hands suddenly hit nothing.
The Beishan Wolf should be one meter away from her right hand, but why did her hand miss it?
Xia Li twitched her ears and noticed that the rustling sound that had approached them had stopped, so she tentatively asked, "Beishan Wolf, I'm talking to you."
"I know. I heard it."
The voice that answered her didn't come from the right, but from the left. It sounded strange, like someone was pulling their vocal cords to imitate someone.
Xia Li didn't answer the other party, but remained calm and slowly stood up. At the same time, something came to her feet.
She couldn't see anything in the darkness, but with her perception, Xia Li could clearly feel a pair of eyes looking at her from below.
Before the thing could reach her feet, Xia Li jumped to the side and threw out a skill at her feet!
With a "puff", the things under his feet were corroded by the green mist, and the greedy eyes in the darkness suddenly became angry.
"I'm going to kill you!" the thing said gritting its teeth.
Xia Li groped in the dark, retreating while using her skills to attack the opponent based on the sound.
Green mists appeared one after another, and even though it was pitch dark all around, the thing opposite was hit again and again.
"Kill you, kill you!"
The inconvenience of dealing with these things in the Gobi map is that they like to attack people by following sounds. If she uses poison gas to attack, it will easily make a big noise, which will attract more of them and make it more difficult to deal with. Therefore, Xia Li can only use the most simple corrosion skill - green mist to fight back.
Fortunately, as long as she could identify it by sound and dodge before it got close, it would be powerless against her. After several rounds of movement, the tug-of-war that had lasted for over ten minutes finally ended. A few crackling sounds, like something suddenly withering, or like a blown-up balloon suddenly deflated, were heard. In short, Xia Li stopped attacking after hearing this signature sound.
She stood and listened for a while, making sure there was no more rustling sound around her. Then she squatted down, stretched out her hand, and felt forward in the dark.
She grabbed the withered vine-like object at once, and following the winding vine, Xia Li moved her legs and groped forward little by little.
After walking forward for a few minutes, her finger suddenly touched something soft. She tentatively touched it with her hand, and found it.
So he took out the small knife on his waist, cut a small piece of withered vine, peeled off the skin, took out the vine core wrapped inside, and then stuffed it into the other person's mouth and let him swallow it.
After waiting for a while, the person next to me finally woke up.
Beishan Wolf sat up with a start.
Xia Li: "Awake?"
Beishan Wolf was confused: "What happened?"
Xia Li: "You fell asleep."
"Asleep? How is that possible!" Beishan Wolf tried hard to recall what had just happened, rubbing his aching brow. "I seemed to hear you talking to me, saying something about living together forever..."
Xia Li: "Yes, that's right."
"But then it was like I was disconnected and couldn't hear anything."
Xia Li: "It was paralyzed by the poison of the man-eating vine, so of course it broke."
Beishan Wolf's voice trembled: "Man-eating vine?!"
Xia Li: "Yes, there are man-eating vines in the Gobi Desert. They are afraid of light, so they don't show up during the day and only come out at night. Before eating people, they will paralyze the players with their small vines. They are very poisonous, and the slightest contact will immediately make you fall into a coma."
"Where is the man-eating vine? Where is it now?!" Beishan Wolf said as he was about to get up.
Xia Li held him down: "Don't panic, I've already taken care of it."
Done?! Beishan Wolf stared at her in astonishment. Though he couldn't see anything, that didn't stop him from expressing his inner surprise. In the pitch darkness, his teammates were poisoned and unconscious, and the man-eating vines kept attacking. If it were him or anyone else, their mentality would have collapsed long ago, but she acted as if nothing had happened, making light of it!
Thinking of the scene where she fought against the man-eating vines while he was unconscious, Beishan Wolf couldn't help swallowing his saliva and sighed sincerely: "You are really amazing."
Xia Li: "Actually, you're quite capable too. You're very suitable for united front work."
At level 40, the 100-person dungeon will be opened for the first time. By then, Fengyun Tianxia will desperately need someone with high comprehensive qualities to do united front work. She admits that she is quite strong alone, and sometimes she can command a team of five or ten people, but if she is asked to lead a large team of 100 people, Xia Li knows very well that she is not suitable for this.
But the Beishan Wolf is different. He has good judgment and first-class psychological quality. He does not panic when encountering things. Instead, he can continue to observe the environment and flexibly adjust his strategy.
For such a person with the potential to be a united front, Hei Tiangou and Bei Ming Youyu not only did not cherish him, but instead pointed at his nose and called him cowardly. What else can only get by? Xia Li was eager to pull him into Fengyun's team!
Unfortunately, Beishan Wolf just laughed twice and didn't take her words seriously at all: "What's so great about me? I'm just a mediocre player. I can't even stand up to the stage. How can I be suitable for united front work? Don't comfort me. I still know my own weight."
"No, you're not," Xia Li thought to herself. "You're just constrained by your guild membership, unable to express your thoughts, so you just keep them to yourself."
Xia Li said nothing verbally, though. She wasn't in a rush right now. The Hundred-Man Dungeon wasn't available until level 40, and there weren't any level 30 players in the current Miracle. This meant she still had a full ten levels to slowly chat with Beishan Wolf. Today was just a small mention, a way to plant a seed in his heart. When the time was right, she would let it take root and sprout in his heart.
There was still an hour before dawn, but the horizon leading to the finish line suddenly lit up with rays of light. These were the rays emitted when players released their skills.
With the help of this faint light, the Beishan Wolves finally saw the withered man-eating vines on the ground. They were as thick as an adult man's thigh, coiled and winding, lying around them like a giant python. There were also countless small vines, which were like blood vessels in the human body, densely covering the ground. At first glance, it looked terrifying.
It was hard to believe that she had defeated the man-eating vines single-handedly, and in the pitch dark. Beishan Wolf looked at her back, his heart filled with awe once again.
Xia Li narrowed her eyes and heard screams of terror and cries for help coming from the wind. The source of the sound was none other than the place where the fire was burning. So she curled her lips, turned her head and said to Beishan Wolf, "Let's go. Let's hurry on while the fire is burning."
Beishan Wolf was stunned for a moment: "What if we encounter the man-eating vine again along the way?"
Xia Li smiled and said, "No, the food is delivered to our door, so the man-eating vines won't notice us for the time being."
He pointed at the flames and added, "The man-eating vine is good at using sound to determine direction."
Beishan Wolf was horrified after hearing this, and then he realized: "That's the direction chosen by Black Tengu and Beishan Meowth!"
He was about to rush out with his staff in hand.
Xia Li didn't stop him. "This map is full of man-eating vines. Judging by the way they're making such a fuss, I'm sure everyone within a few kilometers will be sucked in. There might be hundreds of them. Are you sure you want to go over and help?"
