A Race to (Be) The Top - Chapter 57
Lu Jiu wandered over, and Dou Kou was targeted by his stress response during this period, and he immediately became 100% vigilant: “What are you doing again?”
Lu Jiu only asked Ling Xiaolu: “Little brother, what are you going to do?”
“We are going to catch foxes against Dou Niwan, will you go?”
Lu Jiu passed through Dou Kou’s gaze through the mask meaningfully: “There are people from Dou Niwan, of course I want to go too much.”
If it weren’t for the prohibition of free massacre in the arena, how could the people in Douniwan survive to this day?
“You—” Dou Kou was about to get angry, thinking of the purpose of this trip, he had to swallow, “Give me a face this time, and speak with strength in the wild in the future.”
“Yeah…” Lujiu deliberately made a long tone.
“Can I ask you once?” Dou Kou shouted angrily, “I just want to catch a fox for my daughter!”
“Why don’t you apologize?” Ling Xiaolu asked.
Dou Kou raised his neck: “It is impossible to apologize! But I can stand up against him in a showdown!”
Ling Xiaolu had nothing to do with such a stubborn Dou Kou. Dou Niwan’s unfortunate days seemed to continue.
Lujiu put his hands in his pockets: “Little brother, I won’t go to catch the fox, but if someone competes unfairly, please call me at any time.”
“Good!” Ling Xiaolu replied.
“I’m going, I’m going,” Chang Huanxi pulled zero to join, “I haven’t caught a pet yet, I’m going to open my eyes too.”
“let’s go!”
Nan Kaoru saw them leave from a distance, and asked curiously: “Sister Chuya, where are they going to Lubi?”
“I heard that I went to catch the baby.”
“Catch the baby? I want to go too.”
Chuya stopped her: “You can’t go.”
“why?”
“All the skills used for catching pets are effective for unbound fans, not to mention that there are so many of them. Do you want to be immobilized, or are you scared to run around?”
Nan Kaoru was so frightened that he spit out his little tongue: “Then I’m not going to join in the fun.”
…
Cloud foxes are found in the highest snow-capped mountains in Beimang, where thick fog is permeated. It is said that the mountain peaks soaring into the clouds, and the essence of the fog is clouds, which is why the cloud fox gets its name.
Li Zheng searched for a wide open flat area, picked up a long sword, and drew a curved rectangular coordinate system on the snow with a few swords.
Ji Meng frowned slightly: “Li Zheng, let’s catch the fox. What do you do with higher functions?”
“The place where Yunhu appears at different times is different. This is its dynamic coordinate, but the probability of it appearing at each coordinate point is only 5%. Whether it can be found depends on your luck.”
Ling Xiaolu:? ? ?
Dou Kou was even more confused: “What do you say…what’s this…can you speak human words?”
Ji Meng glanced at the function graph on the ground, pulled up Ling Xiaolu and turned around and left.
“Hey, where are you going? You know the coordinates just by looking at it?”
Li Zheng followed them without hesitation, and Chang Huanxi firmly followed with Zero. Only the people from Dou Niwan stayed on the ground and looked at each other, not knowing whether to follow up or stay to solve the problem.
“You guys!” Dou Kou pointed angrily at the graphics on the ground, “Does anyone know what this means?”
The classmates tried very hard: “Patriarch, why don’t we carry out a carpet search?”
“Do you need a carpet search to find Li Zheng?!” Dou Kou felt that he had been fooled. Li Zheng must have deliberately asked questions to distract him. The people at Lu Toushe had long known where the fox was. “I can’t think of the better-looking one.” People, the more scheming!
“You guys, go and search for traces of foxes nearby! You guys, follow me to chase after them, don’t let them get ahead!”
There is one person left, “Patriarch, what about me?”
Dou Kou hates that iron can’t make steel: “Idiot! Take the picture and send it to the world, and ask if anyone can understand what this thing means!”
“Oh, good patriarch!”
Ji Meng and his group came to the fork in the road: “It’s possible to show up in either direction. The three of you go over there, and Lubi and I go over here.”
Chang Huanxi agreed and ran away with zero, but Li Zheng followed Ling Xiaolu with his steps.
“What are you doing with you?” Ji Meng asked him unhappy. “The two of them have no experience. What if you kill the fox by mistake?”
I can’t say anything about it: “I’m going here, it’s safer.”
Ling Xiaolu misunderstood the meaning of “safety” in Li Zheng’s mouth: “Master, do you mean that Yunhu is very dangerous and difficult to catch?”
Li Zheng stared at him who didn’t know his own situation, and said in a pun: “Yes, it’s dangerous.”
Ji Meng also confessed to him: “Wild Cloud Fox has a confusing ability that can cause people to enter hallucinations. If you see it, you can’t chase it too deeply by yourself.”
“Understood! Will entering the illusion will hit people? This skill is worthy of being a vixen!”
Ji Meng came to a raised rock and reached out to touch the snow on it.
“If it’s not wrong, the spot where Yunhu is seen at this time is around here.”
“Then let’s go and see around here.”
Ling Xiaolu was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Meng.
“No, you can let it come to us by itself.”
After all, Ji Meng took out Ecstasy from his bag.
Ling Xiaolu: …why always this trick!
“You can’t use Ecstasy.” Li Zheng’s voice came from diagonally behind.
“Yes!” Ling Xiaolu immediately echoed loudly.
Ji Meng is unclear, so: “Why can’t it be used?”
“Because…because…” Ling Xiaolu racked his brains to think about the reason, “Because Yunhu is a minor! Ecstasy is useless for it!”
Ji Meng seemed to be very disbelief: “Yun Fox is also a minor? Are you sure?”
Ling Xiaolu made gestures with his hands: “Have you never seen my master’s one? Just make a dumpling so big…”
Li Zheng couldn’t stand it anymore: “In addition to Yunhu, there are other birds of prey and beasts here. If you attract them, Yunhu dare not show up.”
This reason sounded more reliable than Ling Xiaolu’s, Ji Meng dubiously accepted the ecstasy: “Then let’s go to the next coordinate point, maybe we can meet it.”
The three of them went deeper into the forest, and the deeper they went, the thicker the snow. Not to mention the white fox, the limited life breath comes only from the coniferous trees covered in snow.
“Lizheng, did you really make a mistake?” Ji Meng didn’t doubt that his calculation was wrong.
Li Zheng did not make a sound, but Ling Xiaolu jumped up: “There are footprints over there!”
There are footprints, which means that Yunhu has been nearby not long ago.
Ling Xiaolu was full of admiration for Ji Meng: “How did you figure out the coordinates all at once? You are not a mathematical genius, right?”
Ji Meng was a little embarrassed by his praise: “It’s so simple, anyone can see it!”
“Who said that? I can’t see it.” Ling Xiaolu didn’t expect to find the fox’s trail so quickly, and was excited, “Let’s follow the footprints to catch up!”
Li Zheng called out the Beast Radar. Although the position could not be locked for the time being, there was already a reaction, proving that Yunhu was in this area.
The luck is so good, even he himself, it took more than a week to get it in his pocket.
“Don’t worry,” Ji Meng is not as bluffing as Ling Xiaolu, “If he catches up quickly, it’s easy to scare him away.”
“Then what to do?”
Ji Meng’s palms hanging on both sides slammed into force: “Stopping Curse!”
The powerful air current blasted and spread, stretching for several miles, the sky was flying snow, and the pine trees reappeared in green.
“It can’t run away for the time being.” Ji Meng closed his hand confidently.
Ling Xiaolu: …love you! Uncle is well! Want to have a relationship with a dog!
Ji Meng took a step forward and found that Ling Xiaolu hadn’t followed. He turned back puzzled: “Where are you?”
Li Zhengzhan first stood in between the two, his left hand was naturally placed on Ling Xiaolu’s shoulder, and he leaned slightly: “Tui’er, what’s wrong with you? Is it too cold and frozen? Didn’t I tell you that I was in Beimang? Don’t use too high ambient sensor?”
“…” Ling Xiaolu suddenly didn’t know which one was more chilling—Is it Ji Meng’s sudden fixation curse, or Li Zheng’s sudden concern?
Ji Meng strode back his head: “Are you stupid? Can you forget to adjust the environment sensor?”
Li Zheng’s radar issued a small beep, and Ji Meng had a pause. Of course he knew what the sound meant.
“Locked to the position of Yunhu?”
Li Zheng glanced lightly on the radar: “27 degrees southwest, 160 meters.”
Ji Meng tuned out his radar, and it was exactly what Li Zheng said.
Li Zheng’s long sleeves covered most of Ling Xiaolu’s body, looking like he was warming him.
“You go first, we’ll be there later.”
Ji Meng felt that something was wrong, still hesitating, Ling Xiaolu struggled and said, “My husband…hurry up…don’t let…run away…”
It’s really hard to refuse.
“Hurry up!” Ji Meng shook his sentence and quickly disappeared to the southwest.
Ling Xiaolu’s fixed body state entered a countdown, 3, 2, 1, lifted, and finally healed.
“Master, we…” As soon as he grabbed his sleeves, he couldn’t move his body anymore.
The people in Dou Niwan cheered and ran past: “Found it! Yunhu is here!”
“The radar has a signal!”
Dou Kou hurriedly yelled: “Don’t mess up the formation! Everyone is wrapped in a circle, don’t break the anchor chain!”
Ling Xiaolu scolded “Love you” a thousand times in his heart.
Fortunately, their attention was on Yunhu, and no one cared about Ling Xiaolu and Li Zheng who were standing still.
Li Zheng looked around quickly, confirmed that there was no one, and jumped onto the tree along Lingxiao Road.
Continue to stay on the ground, the target is too obvious, maybe they will find it when they chase it.
People yelled and yelled from the wind, and it seemed that the arrest was not as smooth as expected.
Ling Xiaolu relied on Li Zheng’s strong support to avoid falling from the tree trunk. It seemed that when the two met for the first time, they were in the same situation.
The voice of Li Zheng’s cold and inorganic matter sounded in the wind and snow: “If it is not good to wait, go offline.”
Ling Xiaolu was thankful that he couldn’t speak at this moment, and if he didn’t, he didn’t know what to say.
A white shadow under his feet flashed by, it was Yunhu!
Even if more than a dozen people in front of him encircled and suppressed, the clever little guy was still able to escape the encirclement.
The people from Dou Niwan chased behind noisily.
“Freeze! Freeze it!”
“Patriarch, the Rooting Curse is cooling!”
“What about intimidation? There is also deterrence! I don’t care what you use, I must not let it go!”
On the tree, Ling Xiaolu shook his body unsteadily, and was grabbed by Lizheng forcefully. The bead of sweat oozing from his forehead visible to the naked eye, flowing down his cheeks to the tip of his chin, hanging there reluctantly.
Yun Fox was controlled by shock, and lay on the ground, whining, Ling Xiaolu, who was weighing on the top, suddenly felt a little distressed about it.
Everyone in Dou Niwan carefully surrounded Yunhu again: “Patriarch, I still have Ecstasy here, do you want to use it?”
Ling Xiaolu tried his best to lift his sweaty eyelids, and vaguely recognized that Li Zheng was speaking to him with his mouth: Offline!
If I had known this would happen, Ling Xiaolu would never come! It’s easy to go offline. When I look back, I have to explain to Ji Meng why I suddenly went offline. Maybe I have to face the prince’s anger. Why do you think this person has such a temper?
Ling Xiaolu resigned to his fate and began to silently read “emergency offline.”
“Stop it! Stop it!” There was a noise from below.
Yunhu broke free from the fright, passed between Dou Kou’s legs and ran into the forest again.
Dou Kou jumped anxiously: “It’s all rubbish! Chase me!”
All the people who crashed were gone again, and Ling Xiaolu had experienced great ups and downs.
Li Zheng’s arm suddenly tightened, and Ling Xiaolu saw Ji Meng riding a Shadow Deer running from a distance, looking around.
“Lubi? Lubi!”
This guy, instead of catching the fox, he is looking for himself everywhere. God knows how dangerous he is hiding here!
Ji Meng searched the scene anxiously and angrily, but did not find that Ling Xiaolu was looking at him weakly on the tree overhead.
Where are the people! Li Zheng is gone, and the prince is very angry!
He led the deer to go to the front to look for it. The sweat lingering on Ling Xiaolu’s jaw finally couldn’t escape the call of the earth. It fell straight down and hit the snowy ground where Ji Meng had stayed impartially.
Li Zheng helped Ling Xiaolu to jump back to the ground: “I will take you back first.”
Ling Xiaolu was not very fluent in speaking, and his tongue stiffened: “I’ll go back to… Dongye, turn around like this… it’s easier to explain.”
Not only did Ji Meng need to make up a perfunctory reason, but more importantly, he didn’t know what to say next if he was alone with Lizheng.
Li Zheng stared at him obscurely for a moment: “Okay.”
Ling Xiaolu didn’t dare to look at him, so he lowered his head to read the article.
The shout came again, Ling Xiaolu panicked, and the transmission and reading was interrupted.
“Apprentice.”
Li Zheng wanted to catch him, Ling Xiaolu subconsciously flipped back: “I’m going!”
Li Zheng did not expect that he would run, and he was a step too late to track the tree species, Ling Xiaolu’s figure disappeared into the snow-covered forest.
“Disciple!” The voice of Li Zheng was drowned in the noisy voices from far and near.
Dou Kou rode the white tiger and stopped beside him: “Beauty, have you seen the fox?”
Li Zheng turned his head fiercely, his brows filled with anger, Dou Kou subconsciously manipulated Bai Hu to take two steps back.
With a flick of Li Zheng’s long sleeves, he slapped the wind, flew into the forest, and disappeared a few times.
Dou Kou had a lingering fear: “Unexpectedly, Li Zheng is so terrible to get angry.” He thought about it again, “but it’s still pretty.”
He raised his voice: “Give me a carpet search! Don’t let it go!”
Ling Xiaolu fled to the deepest part of the forest alone. It was extremely quiet, covered in silver and covered in clouds and mist, and no one would come.
The ambient music here is also moved to the extreme, illusory, like weeping like a complaint, like a snow elf singing in the ear, every word and beat come from a dream. If it weren’t for such a tense situation, Ling Xiaolu might have sat down and listened intoxicated.
Ling Xiaolu wiped his eyes with a fluffy thing in front of him, for fear of misreading.
“… Yunhu?”
The snow-white cloud fox sat obediently under the big tree in front, staring at him with dark black eyes. Maybe they are “kind”, Ling Xiaolu’s existence can’t pose a threat, and it doesn’t mean to escape halfway.
Ling Xiaolu’s heart was full of contradictions, and his goal was right in front of him, but he didn’t have any skills to tame pets.
He thought and thought, although he can’t catch pets, he can “catch” pets, as long as he catches his hand, let Li Zheng come over and conquer it.
He realized that this was a good idea, and tiptoedly approached: “Little baby, don’t run, come to my brother.”
Ling Xiaolu flew into the air, and Yun Fox swayed his big tail not far away, as if deliberately **** him off.
“…You’re not good.” Ling Xiaolu got up and wanted to chase, Yunhu suddenly jumped up and turned around in the air.
The scene in front of Ling Xiaolu was distorted. He looked around in a panic, but his vision became more and more blurred…
Li Zheng finally found Ling Xiaolu in the depths of the forest, but he looked very wrong. He stood there blankly, and didn’t even react when he approached.
“Disciple?” Li Zheng tentatively called him, and then shook his hand in front of him, Ling Xiaolu’s eyes didn’t blink.
It turned out to have been hit by Yunhu’s illusion, and Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the sword tactics and was about to apply the lifting method, but Ling Xiaolu opened his mouth without warning.
“Master…”
Li Zheng’s movements stopped.
Ling Xiaolu looked forward with a dull expression, maybe in his hallucinations, there was also Li Zheng.
His voice is calm and slow, without much ups and downs.
“Master, I have been deliberately avoiding you, not because you are too harsh on me, nor because you let me plant the land, feed my pet, repair the yard…
“I hide from you because you are too smart. I can’t seem to hide any secrets from you.
“In my eyes, you are not only smart, but also beautiful and powerful. You are the kind of **** I imagined to be before I played the game. No matter what aspect of it is a perfect existence, and I always think that your perfection, Your strength is taken for granted.
“If you didn’t say that sentence, saying that you were a novice, I would never have thought that you also grew up at this stage of mine, and you have had a period of ignorance of games. You were not born. So strong, you have also had a master.
“I am a little envious of your master, because she has seen the divorce in the novice period, and maybe even saw you make the low-level mistakes that a novice would make. She taught you the common sense of the game you taught me, and shows you the world… These are the things that I can’t imagine when I first saw you at the peak.
“I think she should be as important to you as you are to me. In the game, I know you are called Li Zheng, and I know what you look like. But after leaving the game, we are strangers in the vast sea of people, you don’t know I, I don’t recognize you either. If one day, if you suddenly leave here silently, I will desperately want to ask, why are you leaving?
“Even for this reason, it will not change the ending of your departure and will not bring you back here. But I still want to know what made you make such a decision, and what made you cut us off. The only link between them is what makes you no longer attached to this world.”
A tear slipped silently from the corner of his dull eye.
“Master, I often pretend to be stupid in front of you because I don’t know how to respond to your expectations.
“Just today, the invincible you in my heart fell in front of me. I hate myself for being powerless. I can’t revive you like Qingmei. I listened to my opponents taunting you. I can’t imagine it being bigger than the arena. On the multiplying arena, in the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami, in the eyes of all players, Master, how do you face the merciless ridicule after they win.
“Master, you should treat me as a glass heart. From now on, I don’t want to see you lose to anyone. No matter what you kill, you’re young, or someone else, I hope you can always be invincible forever. Be the perfect invincible master in my mind.”
He slowly raised his right hand and extended his index finger.
“I have nothing to help Master, only this.”
