Chapter 75
The roses in the castle don’t eat people?
It's so funny!
When the sunflowers heard what Xingnuo said, their huge round flower disks leaned forward, as if they were bent over by the laughter of these words.
"Hehehe! Why are you so naive?!"
"Roses don't eat children, hahahahaha!"
The sunflower with Xingnuo's three friends laughed, and its flower disk and leaves shook, causing the three children sitting on the leaves to sway together.
Qingqing didn't understand why, but she also laughed and thought sitting on the leaves was as fun as riding a rocking car.
"Little boy, who told you that roses don't eat children?"
Xingnuo also felt a little puzzled. He blinked twice in confusion and spoke in a baby voice:
"The roses my dad grows won't eat children!"
Then, Xingnuo realized that these flowers seemed to be afraid of roses, and quickly added:
"I used to go to the garden and pick roses, and the roses never ate me!"
The sunflower's laughing sound suddenly stopped, and the flower disk shook, touching the flower disk of the sunflower next to it.
In a channel that the children couldn't hear, the sunflowers were whispering to each other.
"Does this child know roses?"
"He also mentioned the castle. The roses were planted by his father. Doesn't that mean he is the son of the castle's owner?!"
"But what if he lies to us?"
The sunflowers were struggling for a long time before one of them spoke up:
"The owner of the castle is not someone you can easily mess with. I dare not offend anyone related to him."
The other sunflowers didn't dare to do that either. They were even scared to death of the blood-red roses in the garden.
"Alas, but it's been a long time since we've had humans come to this copy. If we miss these kids, we don't know how long we'll have to wait."
Sunflower Garden is just a D-level copy with simple content and few dropped items and energy. Now there are very few players coming to challenge it.
It seemed as if the sunflowers, without any more blood energy, were dying little by little in this copy.
When the last sunflower withers, this copy will be declared permanently closed.
The sunflowers were struggling. Looking at Xingnuo who was not fooled at all and sat on their leaves, one of them made a suggestion:
"Why don't we just sell them!"
"Yes! Recently, the copy of Shen's Group has expanded again. I heard that they are going to build an amusement park. We can sell them to the amusement park!"
"We can also take this opportunity to get some props and lure a few players or monsters in. Then we'll have fresh energy!"
The leaves of the sunflowers began to shake again, and the rustling sound was extremely cheerful.
Xingnuo was standing on the ground, with sweat in his palms.
He didn't know why he was nervous, but looking at these sunflowers, Xingnuo had a feeling that danger was around the corner.
While waiting for the answer, Xingnuo's three friends climbed up and down the leaves.
Xiaopang was restlessly pulling at the leaves of the sunflower, trying to jump from one leaf to another sunflower with his little legs.
The sunflower shook, which scared Xiaopang, and he fell on the leaves.
"Little boy, do you think we sunflowers will eat children?"
The sunflower seemed to have no intention of disguising itself any longer. After the rustling sound, it revealed its original withered and weird appearance.
The bright sunshine was also an illusion. The sky was gloomy and gray, and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds.
The sunflowers, which originally had thick and bright green leaves, have become skinny and yellow, with thin and long roots and withered flower disks.
This gray scene directly scared the three children who were still on the leaves.
Yiyi was the first to scream, covering her little face and letting out a cry, and the next second she was knocked unconscious by the leaves.
Xingnuo widened his round eyes, the dry flower disk reflected in his cat-like pupils, clenched his little fists, rushed forward and bumped into the roots of the sunflower.
"You let my friend go!"
Sunflower was knocked left and right by him, but unfortunately, a D-level monster is still a monster.
The largest sunflower giggled strangely, shaking its disk and leaves wildly, and countless seeds fell from it and hit Xingnuo's body.
Xingnuo's head was covered with bruises from being hit by black seeds. He covered his head and squatted on the ground, hugging himself like a little mushroom.
Qingqing and the little fat boy were screaming, but soon, they were both knocked unconscious by Sunflower.
In the face of countless attacks from Sunflower, the brooch that Xingnuo was wearing came in handy.
This small brooch, which Xingnuo herself couldn't remember when she started wearing, emitted a faint light, which burned and melted the seeds shot by the sunflower.
The sunflower's roots were hurt, and it let out a cry and quickly flew away from the human child.
"He has props on him!"
"S+ level! My god, our copy has never had such a high level of energy items!"
"Ignore him now and sell these three kids to the amusement park first!"
When Xingnuo heard what the sunflowers were saying, he raised his little head and wanted to hug their roots to stop them, but a strong wind suddenly blew around him.
The already dry ground was filled with dust, and in an instant, Xingnuo was blown away to who knows where.
Xingnuo lay on the ground, covered in dust, and coughed softly several times.
His snow-white cheeks were dirty at this moment, his curly hair was also covered with dust, his eyes were blurred by the sand and he couldn't open them, tears were dripping down his face.
His eyelashes were wet and stuck together, and he rubbed them with his little hands, but instead of drying them, he made himself even dirtier.
He rubbed his eyes hard, and when the wind passed, the scene in front of Xingnuo gradually became clearer.
Sunflower and his three friends disappeared. Xingnuo stood on a barren land and looked around. It seemed as if there was no end in sight.
The sky was also blown into a yellowish earth color by the wind. Xingnuo kept coughing and calling the child's name.
"Qingqing! Xiaopang! Yiyi!"
After shouting for a while, Xingnuo's voice became hoarse, but there was still no response.
There were large areas of dry and cracked land all around, with nothing else except mud.
When the wind passed, Xingnuo's little face turned red from coughing, and two blushes appeared on her fair face.
Patting his uncomfortable little chest, Xingnuo took a few breaths, and walked forward with his short legs lifted.
He wants to find those sunflowers and rescue his good friend!
On a piece of yellow mud, Xingnuo's tiny figure with a five-head body seemed to have shrunk into a small ant, so small that it could even be ignored.
I walked forward for a long time, from dawn to dusk.
It was as if there was no transition in between. When Xingnuo looked up, he saw the dark sky.
He stretched out his five short fingers, and Xingnuo blinked so hard that he could hardly see.
Being in darkness, no matter how strong a person is, his mentality will collapse in an instant.
However, Xingnuo seemed to have experienced such scenes many times. Although he had forgotten everything, his body's instincts were still there.
He clenched his fists, exhaled gently, and pursed his lips to comfort himself:
"It's okay, just keep going, you'll find it soon!"
Before Xingnuo was unable to open his eyes due to the wind and sand, he remembered that the sun hanging above the sunflowers was in the west.
Xingnuo took two steps with his short legs and was tripped by vines that suddenly emerged from the ground.
In the dark air, Xingnuo's ankles were tightly wrapped by vines.
The vines were still wrapping around him in circles, and were about to wrap around his entire calf.
Before Xingnuo could try to pry it open with his hands, the sound of a sharp object cutting through the air suddenly came from his ears.
A cold, machine-like voice sounded above Xingnuo's head:
"Xingnuo!"
Lu Qi raised the knife in his hand and cut the vines that were wrapped around Xingnuo's calves. He tried hard to force a smile on his stiff, mechanical face.
“I found you!”
The feeling of exhaustion was about to swallow Xingnuo. His little head was dizzy and the next second, he fell into a coma involuntarily.
When Xingnuo woke up, he saw a faint but not dazzling light in front of his eyes.
He remembered something, and quickly got up from the ground, looking up his little head and shouting:
"Qingqing? Xiaopang? Is that you?"
The zipper of the small tent was unzipped, and a little boy who looked about seven or eight years old walked in.
The other person was wearing ill-fitting, baggy clothes, and there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes, which were cold and icy, like the little robot in the cartoons that Xingnuo watched.
But after the other person's eyes met Xingnuo, it seemed as if a small flame suddenly appeared.
The little boy opened his stiff mouth and shouted:
"Xingnuo!"
Xingnuo didn't know the other person, so he shook his head slightly and couldn't help but speak in confusion:
"Who are you?"
Hearing this, Lu Qi's expression was obviously even more confused than Xing Nuo's.
Squatting in front of Xingnuo, Lu Qi opened his dull eyes, as if he had forgotten to blink. After a long time, he let out a cry.
"I'm Lu Qi."
Lu Qi, who didn't understand why Xingnuo had forgotten about him again, thought of something and tried to raise the corners of his mouth.
"Don't you remember me?"
They have met many times.
Xingnuo obviously didn't remember. He scratched his little head and climbed out of the tent. His clear little baby voice was made hoarser by the wind last night.
"Lu Qi, have you met my friend?"
Lu Qi continued to squat on the ground, with his head tilted up, looking at Xing Nuo with his round eyes like a puppy.
"Your friend? Not me?"
Then, he forced a stiff smile, announcing it to the world, baring his little white teeth and shouting:
"Xingnuo's best friend, Lu Qi!"
