After running all the way out of the city gate, Wulin Fenghuolun was a little out of breath. Just when he was about to stop to rest, he heard the footsteps chasing him from behind.
According to past experience, as long as you run out of the city gate, the NPC guards will not catch up with you.
Why are there footsteps behind me now?
Wulin Fenghuolun turned his head and saw an NPC guard wearing red clothes, silver armor, a silver helmet and a sharp look only two steps away from him.
!!!
Run as fast as you can!
Almost got caught.
Why did this NPC guard suddenly chase out of the city gate!
Wulin Hot Wheels looked back again.
The distance was caught and it got a little closer.
The guards in red clothes and silver armor had lively eyes that shone coldly, handsome features, and an aura like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
It turns out to be an intelligent NPC, no wonder he chased me out of the city.
Wulin Fenghuolun gritted his teeth, swung his legs and ran forward, the surrounding scenery became blurry in the corner of his eyes.
Ever since he became a disciple and learned the martial arts that focused on lightness of body, he has never been caught by the NPC guards. He has never been caught before and he will never be caught in the future.
His legs alternated rapidly, leaving afterimages, and for a moment, he really looked like "Hot Wheels" as his nickname suggested.
Luo Zheyu tapped the ground with his toes, seemingly lightly, but in fact he was using all his strength. He ran forward with great force, and each step was very big, gradually closing the distance with the red-named player in front of him.
When we reached the arch bridge over the river outside the city, we finally caught up with the Wulin Hot Wheels.
Luo Zheyu tilted his body slightly to the left, drew his sword from its sheath with his right hand, and used the strength of his body to drive the long sword, slashing it horizontally towards Wulin Fenghuolun's waist.
"Ah!" Wulin Hot Wheels screamed. The 20% simulated pain made him wail and run even faster.
A red blood drop special effect splashed out from his waist, and his blood volume suddenly decreased by one third.
Luo Zheyu followed closely, constantly swinging the long sword in his hand and slashing at the Wulin Fenghuolun.
Seeing the NPC guard behind him stabbing him several times, his health dropped rapidly and only a little blood was left. If he was hit again, he would go into shock and would definitely be caught.
Wulin Fenghuolun was extremely anxious. He looked at the clear river water under the arch bridge, then simply flipped over, jumped over the fence and fell into the river.
“Plop!”
A huge splash of water was created.
Luo Zheyu, holding a long knife with blood dripping from the tip of the knife, stood beside the arch bridge fence and looked down.
"Gurgle gurgle..." The river water gradually calmed down and bubbles emerged from the surface of the river.
At the bottom of the clear river, you can vaguely see a dark shadow struggling and twisting.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
Another string of bubbles popped up.
A familiar strange smell appeared under the water and gradually became stronger.
“Gurgle gurgle…Puff!”
A slender hand suddenly stretched out from the surface of the river, scratched the air in vain a few times, causing ripples, and then was dragged weakly into the water again.
That hand belonged to the red-named player with the nickname “Wulin Hot Wheels”.
On the arch bridge, Luo Zheyu focused his eyes slightly, looking carefully at the dark shadow in the river without moving.
Only when the dark shadow's struggles weakened and it showed signs of powerlessness did he sheath his knife, support himself with one hand on the railing of the arch bridge, and jump down.
………
"Puff... cough cough cough..." Wulin Fenghuolun spat out a mouthful of water and started coughing violently. His messy and wet long hair stuck to his cheeks, and the hairband was barely tied on his long hair.
Luo Zheyu hugged his chest from behind and carried him as he swam towards the shore in the river.
After dragging the Wulin Wind Fire Wheel to the shore, Luo Zheyu stood up straight. A burst of white smoke came out from around him, and he immediately felt dry all over, as if he had never been in the water.
Compare it with Wulin Fenghuolun, who is lying on the ground weakly, soaking wet, in a messy state.
The difference between NPCs and players is immediately apparent.
"What happened just now?" Luo Zheyu half-knelt down, looking down at the Wulin Wind Fire Wheels lying on the shore. He opened his mouth wide to breathe like a fish out of water, and his chest heaved violently.
"...a woman with long hair!" Wulin Fenghuolun became very angry when he mentioned this.
After he jumped into the river, he didn't expect that there was a person lurking at the bottom of the river. The person grabbed his calf and dragged him to the bottom of the river with great force, but he couldn't get free.
During the wild struggle, Wulin Fenghuolun could only see the long and thin nails on the fingers that were grabbing his calf, the long black hair floating in the water like seaweed, and the pale face.
In the game "Jiang Hu Xia Yi", if you enter the water without any preparation and stay in the water for a certain period of time, your character will drown just like in real life.
Not to mention that the character will drop equipment and level down upon death, just take the drowning experience of Wulin Hot Wheels just now, although it was only 20% of the feeling, it was enough to make him uncomfortable.
Luo Zheyu looked at the lake silently and did not tell him that after diving into the water, he did not see any human figure.
There was only a bunch of [water grass] needed for a certain task, which tightly bound his legs.
That kind of waterweed is very harmless.
This is a fully virtual online game. Although it is called the second world, it is not exactly like the real world.
The water plants were designed to be harmless and could not bind anyone.
Moreover, there was a strange smell attached to the water plants.
When Luo Zheyu cut the water plants in the water, the scent could no longer be hidden and drifted away.
There was still no difference in the data.
………
Wulin Fenghuolun, who was soaking wet, with his clothes disheveled and his hair scattered, walked in front with his head down, as if he had been bullied.
Behind him, a handsome guard in a stern suit was holding him with a long sword, and the two of them were walking on the streets of the city.
The players in the city all looked sideways, pointed at the Wulin Hot Wheels, and laughed secretly.
Wulin Hot Wheels silently raised his hands to cover his handsome face.
Even though his nickname had already been revealed due to his popularity and was hanging high above his head, he still wanted to hide his handsome face from worldly rumors.
He walked through the streets and alleys, parading through the city.
Gradually, a group of onlookers followed behind him, and laughter could be heard from the crowd from time to time.
At this moment, Wulin Fenghuolun wished he had drowned in the river.
"Go in." Luo Zheyu escorted Wulin Fenghuolun to the door of a building.
The building was not tall, with only one floor, and seemed to lead underground. There were two soldiers guarding the door.
The players who were watching the fun behind wanted to follow in, but a long sword suddenly blocked them.
"The dungeon is an important place for the government. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Wulin Fenghuolun was instantly moved to tears. Finally, he could finally get rid of the group of annoying, squeaking "summer cicadas" behind him.
Looking in the direction of the long sword in front of him, the guards escorting Wulin Fenghuolun stared at everyone with sharp and intimidating eyes, with an imposing aura that kept strangers away.
Under this gaze, the players did not dare to act rashly and retreated one after another.
Luo Zheyu put away his sword and followed Wulin Fenghuolun into the dungeon.
Only after he walked away and his back disappeared did the players relax.
"This NPC..."
“So cool!”
"But it's so handsome! In "Chivalrous Jianghu", can you choose to join the government? I think..."
“I want to, too!”
………
Entering the dungeon, a jailer was guarding the entrance.
Seeing guards escorting the red-named player in, he still stood there motionless, not even looking over.
There were only a few dim candlelights in the dungeon. It was dark and damp, and there was a "tick-tick" sound of dripping water coming from somewhere.
A faint smell of rust permeated the air, and unknown small insects crawled across the ground from time to time. Perhaps in some dark corner, there were creatures like mice hiding.
A familiar and strange aura lingered throughout the dungeon.
There were only a few NPC prisoners in the cell, curled up on the messy and withered straw, motionless.
After staring at the jailer for a while, Luo Zheyu said, "The new prisoner must be put in the cell."
The jailer finally reacted. His body remained motionless, and he woodenly turned his black eyes to look at Luo Zheyu, then moved his eyes to the corners of his eyes to look at Wulin Fenghuolun.
Wulin Fenghuolun glanced at the jailer, and then glanced at the jailer again.
This NPC is so weird.
After looking at the two people, the jailer slowly stepped forward, his movements stiff and mechanical.
The jailer walked in front, Wulin Fenghuolun was in the middle, and Luo Zheyu followed at the end.
The two men followed the jailer in silence as they walked down the corridor of the cell.
In the darkness, the dim light of the candle was reflected on the corner of the face and clothes.
Wherever the jailer walked, he left shallow footprints.
Luo Zheyu looked down at the ground, wondering what he was thinking.
Wulin Hot Wheels looked around curiously in the dungeon.
When the jailer reached an empty cell, he stopped and did not move.
He didn't even take out his key to unlock it.
After waiting for a few minutes, seeing that the two NPCs in front and behind were motionless, standing like statues and not speaking, Wulin Fenghuolun could no longer bear it and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you stop..."
The jailer in front of him suddenly turned around and stared at him with a pair of wooden black eyes.
His body didn't move, but his head turned completely around.
With your back to him and your face towards him.
The head made a 180-degree turn on the body.
"... Stop." Wulin Fenghuolun stared blankly at the jailer in front of him, spitting out the rest of the words he had just said.
The jailer's face was stiff, and he slowly opened the corners of his mouth.
Giving a strange smile.
He suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist, raised it high, and held the blade upside down with his elbow facing the Wulin Wind Fire Wheel. Because of this strange posture, the blade was facing him.
The faint light shone on the raised long sword, and residual blood on the tip of the sword slid down the blade.
The jailer turned his hands and chopped down the Wulin Fenghuolun who was beaten by Luo Zheyu until only a little blood was left on his skin with his long knife.
