Chapter 15 Desperation
Xiao Lang is now full of question marks.
For example, which movie and novel is this trial mission based on? [Lanruo Temple] is a place name that everyone who has gone to school should have heard of. It is not just a proper noun found in [A Chinese Ghost Story].
For example, what is the relationship between the old goblin in front of me and the experienced monk? It can’t be a vulgar love triangle like a love triangle between happy enemies, right?
For another example, what is the mentality of this monk? There are so many temples in the world, but he likes to live among monsters and perform performance art in such a high-end and classy way?
But the situation at the scene was obvious, and there was no time for Xiao Lang to resolve these question marks.
The goblins around them gathered around me one after another after grandma's order, but they were not stupid at all. They knew what the old master was capable of, and none of them was vying to be saved.
They are just surrounding here in such a ferocious manner, and most of them that have not yet fully evolved are still salivating, telling you clearly what will happen to them once they are caught.
Although Xiao Lang often goes to the King of Hell to talk about life and ideals due to his professional relationship, and he is used to seeing big scenes, the problem is that the scene he is facing now is equivalent to taking the initiative to play the King of Hell himself.
Little jj, a hundred times, a hundred times.
Apart from seeking death, I really can't find any other adjective.
Even though it was a game, Xiao Lang could still feel that from this moment on, his adrenaline began to surge.
Just like everyone knew that the ghost movie was fake, but when Sadako appeared, many people were still frightened to the point where one Buddha came out of their body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Xiao Lang understood that he was in a game, and even if he failed, all he had to do was waste a few hours.
But Xiao Lang has never been a person who likes failure. Compared with glorious failure, he prefers wretched victory.
However, everyone knows that victory is never trivial, because history books are written by the victors.
"Young man, are you afraid?" The old Taoist took out the wine gourd and drank a few big gulps. He ignored the old goblin opposite and turned to ask Xiao Lang.
"You didn't even ask for mercy, let alone me?" Xiao Lang was making a joke.
This time the real protagonists have come out, and there is no need for the veteran to act like a guy who can do anything to survive.
"Haha, you kid." The old Taoist did not put the wine gourd back into his arms this time, but handed it to Xiao Lang, and then said: "Here is this for you. If you think you can't escape, just take a few sips. At least
It won’t hurt that much before you die.”
"What?" Xiao Lang suddenly realized what the old man was going to do.
Sure enough, I saw the old Taoist saying to the old goblin in mid-air: "Come on, let's fight in another place. It's too narrow here and we can't use it."
"Hmph! Are you afraid that it will affect a few of them?" The old goblin sneered. To her, Xiao Lang and the scholar were no different from ants, and could crush countless of them with one finger.
"Aren't you afraid that it will affect your disciples and grandchildren?" the old Taoist asked.
Although the old goblin really didn't care about the life and death of these so-called disciples, it was indeed a pity to die under the sword formation of the old Taoist. At that moment, he said to the old Taoist: "Okay, it's up to you, follow me!"
After saying that, he flew away without any hesitation.
The old Taoist was not so free and easy. After thinking about it, he turned around and put a talisman on the scholar. Then he patted Xiao Lang's shoulder and said take care, and then jumped up and flew in the direction where the old goblin left.
Xiao Lang was left looking at the demons and ghosts in his eyes...
Since the old goblin walked freely and without leaving any instructions, the surrounding monsters did not take action at the first time. However, for them, no instructions meant they were free to move.
If you don't want to take a few bites of three tender-skinned humans, you will be embarrassed to say hello to others and say you are a monster when you go out.
Therefore, everyone looked at them with eager eyes, as if they were looking at a few dishes to go with the wine.
Xiao Lang's taskbar flashed up at the right time:
【Trial Mission】
Mission Name: A Hundred Years of Shock—Chou Li
Mission requirement: Leave Lanruo Temple
Mission Description: Sorry, the difficulty of this mission has skyrocketed since the old man left.
Mission reward: 100 experience points, 1 basic skill book
Failure penalty: none
Branch task: not triggered
This time there is no word [whether to accept or not]. It seems that the system automatically made the choice for Xiao Lang.
"Amitabha, the donor is really brave. No wonder the donor Yan looks at you with admiration."
Apart from the scholar who continued to be "happy" and unconscious, the only people present who could be considered human were Xiao Lang and the monk.
Xiao Lang didn't show any feeling of panic from beginning to end. In the eyes of the monk, he naturally wanted to look down upon him.
Xiao Lang looked at the wine gourd left by the Taoist and found that it was indeed just an ordinary gourd. It was not a magic weapon containing the universe, and the wine was just ordinary Laobaigan mixed with water. When he heard what the monk said, he replied: "This and
It doesn't matter if you are bold or not, you still have it, right?"
Using a bayonet to break the 38 big cover is called cowardice; using a Thomson to break bricks is called bullying.
"The poor monk doesn't understand, what's the matter with me, and what's the matter without me?"
Xiao Lang lowered his head to look for a handy stone - you say it's better to leave a broken sword before leaving than a gourd - you said, "You are a master. In the face of these monsters, the scholar and I are thoughtful."
There is no problem at all, so why should I be afraid."
Having said that, Xiao Lang is still not used to handing over his life and death to someone he meets for the first time, so having a weapon in his hand - if stones count - can be considered a fighting force. If the monk accidentally misses it,
, it’s better not to use your teeth.
Let’s not talk about whether Xiao Lang’s teeth are good enough or not. Just one bite of the fishy skin of these monsters can cause the same symptoms as pregnancy - vomiting and diarrhea, and not wanting to eat.
[Five Ghosts Soul Containing Jar] is a good thing, but to be honest, it is not suitable for the current scene. Although both [Spirit Containing Shield] and [Spirit Containing Soul Break] are good magical powers, the cooldown time of up to 15 minutes is still 50 points.
The high consumption of mana means that it cannot become a commonly used magic weapon, at least not yet.
"Why did the donor think that the poor monk could protect the two of them?" Unexpectedly, the monk was also a master who wanted to get to the bottom of things.
"If you don't have any ability, will the old Taoist feel free to leave the three of us here?" Xiao Lang finally selected a handy stone and continued: "What's more, the main reason why these monsters didn't pounce on me immediately was because of their concerns.
, it won’t be me, and it won’t be this scholar.”
Although Xiao Lang doesn't understand the setting of monsters in [Fantasy World], no matter how you think about it, they are not creatures that think twice before acting. In this case, after the old monster left, they still let go without restraint.
The only reason why they refuse to eat the "food" next to their mouths is because they know that these "foods" are not just a few white striped chickens on the chopping board, and they can eat whatever they want.
"It seems that the people who can be valued by Donor Yan are indeed not ordinary people." The monk lowered his eyes and lowered his head, but the appreciation in his tone was also very obvious.
In fact, to be honest, what Xiao Lang has seen through is not worth mentioning, but how many people can calmly see through the mystery in a scene where a group of demons are looking around?
So there is only one Zhuge Liang, but there are many Zhuge Liang after the fact.
"However," the monk sighed slightly and said to Xiao Lang: "Maybe this time, the donor will be disappointed."
"What does this mean?" Xiao Lang was a little surprised. He couldn't see why he would be disappointed.
"A year ago, the poor monk abandoned all his martial arts skills." The monk said this calmly.
…
…
Xiao Lang really wants to tell you to calm down, but my balls hurt.
It seems that even the monk felt that this calm sentence was not enough to make Xiao Lang give up the thoughts in his heart, and then said in an explanation: "The reason why I can stay in Lanruo Temple again is that the condition I reached with her is
Donor Yan doesn't know that he has abandoned his martial arts."
The martial arts mentioned by the monk here actually means Taoism. To Buddhism, it is called Buddhism. After all, cultivating one's Taoism cannot destroy one's self unless one commits suicide, and Taoism and Buddhism are the means to defend against enemies.
Abandoning these things is like being thrown into a desert island with a huge sum of money. If you don't know how to make a fire, the money is not even qualified to be used as firewood.
"Then what are these fairies still worried about?"
When the old Taoist was around, Xiao Lang would definitely not care whether the monk abandoned his martial arts or committed suicide in the palace, but now, Xiao Lang found that the problem was difficult.
It seemed that the trump card he thought was just an insignificant 2 of clubs, so he thought Thomson was just a model, made of foam, and it wouldn't hurt if he hit someone.
"Although the poor monk has lost all his martial arts skills, his golden body is still there. These goblins can't tell the difference between reality and reality, so they will naturally have scruples, but once a goblin takes action, then..." The monk did not say the next words, and Xiao Lang also understood.
Co-author: Now they are just singing about the empty city strategy, and they are still passive. Once a goblin who is not afraid of death rushes in, they can sing a song: This city is so empty.
"In other words, the reason why the old Taoist also failed to see that you have lost your martial arts is because your golden body is still there?" Xiao Lang continued to ask.
The monk nodded in acknowledgement.
"Then what is the function of this talisman?"
Xiao Lang looked around and couldn't find anything that could be used to break the situation, except this talisman.
"A very common demon-subduing talisman can frighten the demons, but it can only last for a stick of incense. Moreover, it is only a fright, and it does no actual harm to them."
The monk's words also blocked the final road.
This talisman was actually just in case. After all, the old Taoist believed that the monk's strength was still there, so the safety of the scholar and Xiao Lang would definitely not be threatened. The reason why he took this talisman for the scholar was just that the old Taoist had eaten it before.
Although he had suffered a loss in this aspect, he was worried that if the monk was careless and made mistakes when facing the monsters, Xiao Lang would still be able to protect himself, but the comatose scholar would become a lamb to be slaughtered.
As for saying that the talisman is "ordinary", it depends on the person. The monk has a great background, so he can naturally see that the talisman has ordinary effects, but for a "savage" like the old Taoist who has no money and power, this talisman is still quite precious.
Of course, for now, it doesn't matter whether the talisman is precious or not. As long as it is not a talisman that can help the three of them get out of trouble, no matter how precious it is, it is meaningless to them.
Xiao Lang gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, smelled the smell of blood around him, and said to himself: "Despair."
Xiao Lang didn't notice that at this moment, a trace of self-blame flashed across the monk's brows.
