Chapter 730: Encounter Under the Fiery Trees and Silver Flowers (3.5k)
Hearing the other party’s words, the spear-wielding girl was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips slightly, pushed aside her slightly curly blonde hair, and finally revealed a faint smile, saying softly:
“It’s dangerous here. There was no need to come.”
People are contradictory, especially beautiful women. When facing someone they don’t dislike, although their words suggest they don’t want to be bothered, they are actually quite happy if the other person helps them.
She knew that Su Jiu had two subordinates at the War God Level, Yi’erlin Shanchu Ou Qisi Ba Jun, so she wasn’t too worried about the upcoming situation…
“Since [Night] and [Watcher] have an alliance, I will naturally fulfill my promise. The most important issue right now should be to deal with these people.”
With a smile, Su Jiu turned around. His gaze also fell on the two intermediate War God Level opponents from the Ancient God Sect on the other side. He tapped the gourd again.
With a “dong!” sound, the surrounding space became a bit strange, seeming to get darker. In the darkness, different figures shuttled through…
Su Jiu could sense that the two opponents didn’t actually have much energy, and even, they hadn’t used fifty percent of their strength.
“Who are you?! We are ferrymen of the Ancient God Sect, people of [Zichuan]’s Red Robes, please give us some face.”
Hearing Su Jiu’s words, the hunched old man’s expression couldn’t help but change. He couldn’t care about anything else and focused on protecting himself first. If the other party was apprehensive, he could still find an opportunity to escape.
“Later, I’ll need you to deal with a ferryman.”
Disregarding the hunched old man’s intention, Su Jiu took a deep breath and spoke softly. A wisp of blood mist appeared on his fingertips as he reached out to stroke Weir’s cheek, which had been cut by a sharp wound.
Looking at the slowly approaching palm, Weir opened her mouth and instinctively dodged back slightly, but was stopped by the blood clan girl: “Don’t move…”
“Whoosh…” Weir could feel her breathing becoming heavier, caused by the fatigue of her body’s functions.
As Su Jiu spoke slightly, his smile forced fangs to extend from his red lips, with a somewhat seductive bloody scent. The blood mist on his fingertips slowly turned into green mist, and he tilted his head:
“You’re injured, this is just healing…”
“Healing…”
A warm feeling was transmitted from the palm. She looked at the palm that was still a distance from her face, knowing that it was a measure of consideration for her emotions.
Unlike ordinary healing, this healing originated from the blood clan…
“Oh right, you’re a Priest.”
Slightly raising her neck, Weir’s eyes were a little hazy. She could feel a hint of intoxicating sensation in the healing, warm and mesmerizing.
It was like an improved poppy, relieving her stinging wound as a painkiller, but without the hallucinogenic effects…
And gentleness replaced fatigue.
More than thirty seconds passed.
“It should be about done…”
Feeling her body recovering, Weir tightened the double-barreled shotgun in her hand. It seemed she had recovered from thirty percent of her strength to about fifty percent, which was enough to deal with those from the Ancient God Sect.
“This person has a connection with that woman, let’s make a move first!”
Not far away, the two ferrymen of the Ancient God Sect exchanged glances and wanted to seize the opportunity for a sneak attack. They flickered their figures and their auras suddenly exploded. ① 〮 Ling Yi Qi Si W ⑤ 〚 S 〗 Jiu Si Jiu Ba Yi Zuo Yi You Hua Zuo Liu Guang Chong Ji Er Lai.
This was their last chance…
Her gaze fell upon them, Weir’s eyes narrowed. She also remembered Su Jiu’s words, suddenly raised her arm, smiled, and tapped the mask of the girl in front of her, leaning close to her pointed ear and whispering:
“Then, knight in black, the left one is mine, you deal with the right one, okay?”
The old man had lower energy, so it would be easier for Su Jiu to deal with him. Although the white-faced middle-aged man was injured, his own consumption was not significant.
“As you wish.”
Facing the suddenly playful Weir, Su Jiu was stunned for a moment before smiling in response. The [Dream of Blossoms] that had been charged for a long time in his hand had reached the verge of being released.
“Move!”
As soon as his voice fell, Shadow One and Feng leaped out of the gourd, turning into streams of light and assassinating the two streams of light from the Ancient God Sect that were rushing over.
“Overestimating yourself…”
The hunched old man on the right saw the two shadow guards, who were only at the Beginner War God level, daring to block him. He let out a disdainful cold snort, twirled a verdant sword flower in his hand with a green thin sword, and swept it horizontally forward!
The powerful poison sword aura forced Feng and the other two to raise their hands to block, but their speed slowed down. This ferryman of the Ancient God Sect was different from the Liu family expert before.
Although both were in a weakened state, their initial points were different, and it wasn’t something Feng and the other two could easily handle.
“Flash!”
Seeing Feng and the other two’s defeat, Su Jiu naturally knew this. Feng and the other two were just acting as a diversion for him. The white flowers in his eyes suddenly bloomed, and he disappeared from his original position. Suddenly, heaven and earth turned white!
Weir seemed to understand something and smiled knowingly, raising her unique hunting shotgun. A blue flame appeared in her left eye, and she began to aim forward…
“Not good!”
Blinded by the sudden flash of white light, the two ferrymen who were charging forward paused slightly. In the next moment, the girl’s bloody figure appeared behind the hunched old man eerily. With a sword raised and lowered, it seemed as if some karma was resolved.
“Whoosh!”
The sword’s swishing sound sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present.
“Sizzle!”
Being close, they could even hear the sound of gushing blood. It seemed as if someone’s head had been severed. The moment the white light disappeared, the middle-aged ferryman with a pale face immediately turned to look at his companion’s position, only to see a scene that made his hands and feet go cold…
The blood clan girl was holding a messy, withered skull. Her blood-red eyes were lowered, and she looked at him indifferently, as if looking at another corpse.
“You…”
Just as he was about to speak, a whistling sound occurred. Two dark blue bullets pierced his head at an extremely rapid speed. The blue flames instantly solidified the blood, leaving two bullet holes the size of thumbs on his face, which was full of surprise…
Following the trajectory of the bullets, Su Jiu’s gaze met a slightly pale face. The latter blinked, revealed a smile, and made a victory gesture.
Stunned for a moment, Su Jiu also responded with a fanged smile.
This was a battle with no real danger after a scare. In fact, the entire battle lasted less than fifteen minutes…
Sometimes, in high-level combat, life and death are decided in a single thought, as neither side lacked attack power. Both ferrymen were in a state of exhaustion, so it was normal for Su Jiu to kill them with skill.
“These beast pets were probably also forcefully contracted. At the brink of death, they were unwilling to let them fight freely, which is quite pathetic…”
Su Jiu’s gaze swept over the corpses of the beast pets radiating black mist and muttered softly. Among these corpses were giant fire lions and a large humanoid poisonous bee…
“I won’t use the gourd to suck them this time…”
Pursing his lips, Su Jiu took photos of the data of the two ferrymen and uploaded them to the reward section, then collected the magic crystals of their beast pets one by one.
Including the beast pets of the Liu family expert, they obtained a total of five High-Grade Magic Crystals and one top-grade Magic Crystal.
The top-grade Magic Crystal needed to upgrade the shadows was not necessarily dropped by High-Grade War Gods. After reaching the Intermediate War God level, there was a chance for pets to drop top-grade Magic Crystals. This pupa-shaped top-grade Magic Crystal was dropped by the poisonous bee.
Without further hesitation, Su Jiu directly gave the spoils of this battle to Shadow Two. With this battle, her only thought now was to improve her high-end combat strength. It was better to die in batches each time, as resurrection was more costly.
Thirty Intermediate Magic Crystals, this was not a small amount.
“Thank you, boss.”
Shadow Two, a slender figure, took the magic crystals, knelt on one knee in the void, and then entered the gourd.
This way, by tomorrow, the Shadow Society would also have three Beginner War Gods.
After the death of the two ferrymen, the black barrier outside also disappeared. Only Su Jiu, Weir, and the Miss Liu family remained in the air. The latter looked dazed and was muttering to herself:
“Damn poachers… Damn it… Damn it…”
“咻!” The sound of fireworks sounded from somewhere, and a white light flashed from the Ferris wheel, surging towards Liu Qian. The faint light was exceptionally bright in the night sky…
“Finally, it’s over.”
Looking at the formation being activated, Weir sighed, her gaze lifted towards the end of the sky, where fireworks were ablaze, as if separated from the Ferris wheel by a world.
At this moment, farther away, the silver-haired elf looked at the fireworks in the distance, tears flowing uncontrollably. She felt something breaking…
Glancing at the mayor’s daughter, who was like a madwoman, Su Jiu took out his phone and communicated the general situation here with Li Ziwei. Within five minutes, the other party said that someone would be sent to handle the matter in a few days.
[Cuckoo: Mayor Liu’s involvement with the Ancient God Sect has crossed the line. The Law Enforcement Hall will handle it strictly, and it will likely be a trial by three judicial organs.]
[Me: Thank you for your trouble.]
[Cuckoo: It’s my duty. Mayor Liu’s father usually leaves quite a few loose ends and has contacted external salvation organizations. However, due to his strength and status, the General Hall has turned a blind eye. This discovery is a great contribution. After the investigation, you can come to the General Hall to collect it…]
Su Jiu looked at the phone screen and was silent for a while, then continued to type:
[Me: This contribution, you can take credit for it, just share some of the rewards with me.]
“Beep!”
[Cuckoo: I’m happy to take credit for this, but are you sure you don’t want such honor?]
[Me: This thing is useful to you, it can serve as a resume, but it’s useless to me. Night Watchers don’t get promoted with this thing.]
In another place, the young man in the administrative jacket suddenly smiled. His computer screen reflected an excited face as he typed on his laptop:
[Cuckoo: Alright, all the rewards obtained belong to you. I’ll hold onto this honor for you.]
Then he dialed the desk phone and whispered to a certain number: “Dad, this is a big fish, it can help you take another step forward…”
…
“Um…”
Just as Su Jiu was typing on his phone, the Weir beside him suddenly patted her shoulder, pointed at the Ferris wheel leaning towards the fireworks, and said with a smile, “Shall we go for a ride there?”
Without waiting for Su Jiu’s agreement, she sat in a cabin of the Ferris wheel, looking at the fireworks in the distance. Her white skirt fluttered slightly, and her elastic legs swung back and forth.
“Okay.”
Su Jiu also followed, not asking why they weren’t sitting inside the cabin, but looking into the distance with her, watching the brilliant fireworks bloom in the night sky, like a few specks of white dotted on a dark canvas.
“I said, when the trees are fiery and the flowers are silver, that’s when we’ll meet again.” Weir’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Mmm.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu looked over. In the glow of the fireworks, the phantom thief girl’s neck appeared exceptionally white. She was looking at the fireworks, completely engrossed, and looked very beautiful…
At this moment, Weir suddenly turned her head. Her small face was tinged with a blush, and her pupils reflected a somewhat nervous face:
“As someone only ten years younger than me, you are very interesting and fit my impression of Night.”
“…” Su Jiu didn’t know how to respond, he just looked at her quietly.
“There’s no need to be so reserved.”
With a smile, Weir touched the green storage ring on her finger, took out a crystal hairpin, and handed it over. The hairpin was engraved with an iris, and the other side seemed to be a family crest.
“Take it, it’s a thank-you gift. I’ll be leaving tomorrow…”
“When I activated my Elegy state, it even amplified by twenty percent.”
Taking the hairpin, Su Jiu felt the coldness transmitted from it and the amplification to his own attributes. His pupils suddenly constricted. He suddenly realized that this was an Alchemical Item of extremely high grade. This kind of gift was hard to accept…
“This is too valuable…”
Looking up, just as he was about to refuse, a “bong!” sound suddenly came, accompanied by rings of smoke. He used External Qi to disperse the smoke. When the smoke cleared, the girl was nowhere to be seen…
Only a field of fiery trees and silver flowers remained in the distance.
