Chapter 500, Page 499: Encounter
Fifteen stood silently outside the gates of the Elven Palace. The broken sword had been delivered, and the compensation had been settled with Salian afterward.
Now he is just waiting for the elves to send someone to lead him out of the forest.
It wasn't that he didn't know the way, but as a foreigner, he couldn't travel alone through the Ishildor Forest.
Unlike his master, he did not have the privilege of freely traveling within the elven territory.
rustle--
Recalling what he had seen and heard before, he still couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Galadriel was so heartbroken that she shed tears because of her master. Before this, he had never known that there was such a relationship between his master and Galadriel.
However, this also made him understand why it was so easy to borrow the sword back then.
If Galadriel could be his teacher's wife, Fifteen thought it wouldn't be bad.
rustle--
Unfortunately, my master has already died on the battlefield, and all hypothetical scenarios are now just empty talk.
Fifteen was also very sad, but having been trained in the army, he was still able to manage his emotions.
If he wallows in grief, even if his master were to come back to life, he would still be called a good-for-nothing.
rustle--
"Number Nine, can you please stop playing with my hair?" Fifteen finally couldn't help but say helplessly.
Sitting atop Fifteen, Number Nine, who was braiding his hair, reluctantly released his tentacles.
The little guy was getting really bored after waiting for so long.
A talking stone sat under their bottoms, and that's how they communicated.
"Speaking of which, the war is over now, are you still going to follow me like this?"
"What kind of talk is that? We're partners! Remember when we worked together and slaughtered those demons? We were invincible together! You're not trying to dump me, are you? I was the one who saved you before."
Given the current importance of the Mushroom Clan, Fifteen certainly didn't intend to abandon him; that question was just a casual remark.
Moreover, while the claim that Number Nine is "invincible when they join forces" is debatable, it is true that he saved Fifteen's life.
The shockwave from the rage that destroyed the Three Mountains City, even though it wasn't aimed at Fifteen, still severely injured him and knocked him unconscious when he tried to rush forward. He was then buried in the ruins.
It was Number Nine who dug out Fifteen's head and used various toxins to stimulate his bodily functions, which allowed him to hold on until the others rescued him.
Although the price was that Fifteen suffered from diarrhea for several days after being seriously injured, there is no doubt that Fifteen was saved by Number Nine.
Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Fifteen tried to change the subject: "Aren't you happy to be back in your hometown?"
Fifteen also believed that Number Nine was born in the forest.
“What’s so exciting?” It casually pointed with its tentacle to an elven guard standing watch at the gate. “This place is full of noobs who’ve never even been on a battlefield. It’s totally boring. Let’s hurry back. Didn’t they say the fighting is still fierce in the west? Let’s go over there and slaughter all those demons! Hahahaha!”
The number nine mycelium tentacles trembled wildly, already imagining the scene of him commanding the fifteen to slaughter in all directions.
The person who would guide Fifteen finally arrived; it was none other than the old acquaintance, Eco.
Hearing the arrogant laughter from within the mushroom web, Ekodo glanced at Number Nine twice.
Along the way through the city in the trees, two figures with puffs on their heads attracted the frequent glances of passing elves.
A certain elf girl who kept a Puji as a pet watched their retreating figures, tilted her head and pondered for a moment, and then, she also imitated this, gently lifting her own Puji onto the top of her head...
The return journey on the 15th went smoothly. With the 9th there, we didn't even have to bother looking for Puji.
As for the monsters in the shallow area of the Scarecrow Abyss, they pose no threat to Fifteen, and even Number Nine can deal with these bloodless scarecrows on his own.
Just as they were about to cross the Scarecrow Abyss, they encountered Puji, who carried two swords.
After wandering around outside and learning that humanity had temporarily overcome the crisis, the Sword Saint fulfilled his promise to Lin Jun and followed the No. 5 Drill Net to the Scarecrow Abyss.
Since Number Five couldn't land in the Scarecrow Abyss, it naturally wouldn't come in with the Sword Saint. It disguised itself as a rock to block the entrance to the net tunnel and obediently waited for the Sword Saint to return.
The Sword Saint, on the other hand, entered the Straw Man Abyss alone.
In fact, Lin Jun was not sure whether the current Sword Saint would be affected by her and unable to fall into a deeper level, but anyway, it wouldn't take him any effort to try.
However, the Sword Saint clearly hadn't expected to run into his disciple, Fifteen, as soon as he entered!
According to the agreement, he could not reveal his identity, so naturally he could not recognize himself as Shiwu.
However, Elwayne was never one to be sentimental. He didn't care whether they acknowledged each other or not; he was content as long as he saw Fifteen safe and sound.
However, the mentality of players number 15 and number 9 on the other side was completely different.
"It seems to be a mushroom clan member, but it's not. Who exactly are you?!" Number Nine shouted loudly in the mushroom net.
It wasn't present when Sword Saint Puji was born, and Lin Jun didn't even think of informing it.
In Number Nine's view, only the Mushroom Clan could have this appearance, but it couldn't sense the spiritual connection between the Mushroom Clan members, hence its confusion.
Fifteenth even drew his twin swords.
There's no other reason than that this little puji was putting too much pressure on him.
Even though it was just a short-legged creature, Fifteen couldn't find a single flaw in its stance.
Even his sense of energy was telling him that if he didn't draw his weapon first, and this little monster suddenly attacked, he might never have another chance to draw it.
Although reason told Fifteen that this judgment was absurd, Fifteen, who had faced life and death several times in his life, still chose to trust his intuition at the critical moment.
The Sword Saint originally intended to leave directly, but seeing his apprentice's alarmed expression, he suddenly changed his mind.
Although this new body is knight-level, its attributes are definitely much worse than his original body.
However, it also introduced some skills that were not available before, and the differences between them are quite significant.
Since obtaining this body, he hasn't been able to truly unleash his full potential, so he doesn't have a clear understanding of his own strength.
Being unaware of one's own limitations is not a good thing.
After meeting Shiwu, he felt that Shiwu was more and more suitable.
Suitable as your own punching bag.
No, that's not the right way to put it.
After all, as a master, even if he is reborn as Puji, he should still give this good-for-nothing disciple proper guidance.
And to make matters worse, he was ridden on by Zhipuji, which was a huge embarrassment for him.
On the other side.
Fifteen stared intently at the mysterious Puji and whispered to Number Nine, "Is it really one of your kind?"
"Hmm... I guess... probably... maybe..." Number Nine wasn't sure either, but the other party was definitely connected to the microbial network, so they were definitely one of their own. "Anyway, there's no danger, don't be so tense..."
Before Number Nine could finish speaking, a sword shadow crackling with lightning tore through the air and arrived!
Fifteen quickly used the "Swimming Step" to slide backward, and Number Nine above him was caught off guard and fell into the bushes.
A charred sword mark remained on the ground where he had stood, and the arc of electricity was still crackling.
"A weapon with added lightning attribute skills?!"
Fifteen was extremely grateful that he had remained vigilant; if he had been a step slower and been paralyzed by the lightning, he would have been finished.
"Is this what you meant by 'no danger'?"
Number Nine bounced around in the haystack, but since he was no longer connected to the talking stone, Number Fifteen couldn't hear anything he said.
Fifteen had no time to spare, as the sword-wielding creature, Puji, was charging towards them on its short legs!
Pfft—
