Chapter 686: Night Search and Night Vigil Encounter
"Old Wu, what kind of weird mission did your precious system give you again? Why are you having to follow me into this damn place in the middle of the night?"
Lin Qiye wiped the dew off his face, stepped into the mud, and almost couldn't pull his boots out.
Wu Hen smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
&34;Oh, don't mention it. This time the task is 'at midnight, learn to howl like a wolf three times towards the moon, and you will be rewarded with a mysterious gift package.'
Do you think this system is sick? &34;
Lin Qiye rolled his eyes and said, "Who cares if it's sick or not? Just stop howling. I don't want to be with you feeding mosquitoes in this desolate wilderness."
To be honest, he was muttering in his heart, this "mysterious gift package" rewarded by the broken system,
Nine times out of ten, it's just some useless stuff, like shampoo that makes you go bald instantly, or spicy snacks that make you fart non-stop...
Wu Hen cleared his throat, looked up at the moon, took a deep breath, and brewed his emotions, then...
"Ouch——"
The sound was more like the howl of a husky whose tail had been stepped on, shrill yet a little funny.
Lin Qiye held his stomach and almost laughed to death.
"Come again, come again!" He urged with a smile, as if he had discovered a new world.
Wu Hen was not annoyed. He took another deep breath, his face turned red, and howled for the second time.
This time it was even worse, like a constipated Teddy Bear, the sound was intermittent, making people want to cover their ears.
Lin Qiye laughed so hard that tears almost came out. "Old Wu, are you howling like a wolf? If someone didn't know, they would think you had phlegm stuck in your throat!"
Wu Hen glared at him and said, "If you can do it, go ahead!"
"I'm on, I'm on!"
Lin Qiye was in a good mood and looked up at the moon like Wu Hen, and was about to howl.
Suddenly, his expression changed, he turned around abruptly, and stared at the woods behind him with sharp eyes.
"What's wrong?" Wu Hen also put away his playful smile and looked around vigilantly.
"There's something..." Lin Qiye's voice was low, as if squeezed out from between his teeth.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
The wind blew through the woods, making a rustling sound that sounded like the whispers of some creature.
Wu Hen swallowed his saliva and said, "Could it be... the night watchman?"
Lin Qiye did not answer, but slowly drew out the long sword from behind him, the blade reflecting a cold light in the moonlight.
"Old Wu, does your system have any detection capabilities? See if there are any abnormal energy fluctuations nearby?"
Wu Hen quickly called up the system interface and operated it fiercely, "Got it!"
Showing a high-energy reaction fifty meters ahead, approaching rapidly! &34;
"Here it comes!" Lin Qiye growled and tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand.
A dark shadow rushed out from the woods at an astonishing speed and was in front of them in almost the blink of an eye.
It was a huge monster, covered with black scales.
A pair of scarlet eyes flashed with ferocity, and a blood-curdling roar came out of his mouth.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this?!" Wu Hen exclaimed and quickly hid behind Lin Qiye.
"No matter what it is, chop it down first!" Lin Qiye
The blade cut through the air, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind, and slashed fiercely at the monster.
"clang--"
There was a loud sound of metal clashing and sparks flew everywhere.
Lin Qiye felt a numbness in his palm, and the long sword in his hand almost slipped out.
"What a tough skin!" He was secretly shocked.
The monster seemed to be enraged as well, and let out a deafening roar, waving its sharp claws and rushing towards Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye didn't dare to take it head-on and quickly dodged.
"Old Wu, don't just stand there! Hurry up!"
Wu Hen finally reacted and took out a peculiarly shaped weapon from his system backpack—a huge... toilet plunger?
"Watch me! My Star-sucking Technique!" He yelled and slammed the toilet plunger at the monster.
"Are you serious?" Lin Qiye almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Unexpectedly, the toilet plunger actually sucked onto the monster, making a "puff" sound.
The monster's movements obviously slowed down, as if it was stunned by the sudden attack.
Lin Qiye seized the opportunity and swung his sword again, this time finally leaving a deep wound on the monster.
The monster let out a painful wail and turned to escape.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" Lin Qiye sneered, his figure flashed, and he caught up in an instant...
Wu Hen's system then popped up a prompt at the right time:
"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: Attack the night watchman with a toilet plunger. Reward: A Super Invincible Cosmic Thunderbolt Rasengan!"
Wu Hen looked at the toilet plunger in his hand and fell into deep thought...
Li Zhenzhen collapsed on the ground, her wrist burning with pain, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, feeling both scared and aggrieved.
But she gritted her teeth stubbornly and refused to utter a word.
Fang Mo looked down at her, his eyes as sharp as a knife, but there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You really won't tell me?" His voice was as gentle as a whisper between lovers, but it made Li Zhenzhen shudder.
"I...I really don't know..." Li Zhenzhen said tremblingly, her voice as thin as a mosquito.
Fang Mo sighed, with a look of regret and also of mockery.
"It seems that we have no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures."
As he spoke, he took out a delicate little bottle from his pocket. The bottle contained a light red liquid that exuded a strange fragrance.
"What is this?" Li Zhenzhen felt uneasy instinctively.
"A thing...that can make you tell the truth." Fang Mo said with a smile, a hint of cruelty in his smile.
He pulled out the cork, and a rich fragrance filled his nose.
Li Zhenzhen felt dizzy and everything in front of her became blurry...
"Lin Qiye, Wu Hen...night watchman..." Li Zhenzhen spoke intermittently, her voice hollow, like a puppet being controlled by someone.
Fang Mo listened, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long while, he slowly spoke: "I see... It seems that these two little guys are really interesting..."
He put away the small bottle and turned away, leaving Li Zhenzhen slumped on the ground with a hollow look in her eyes, as if she had lost her soul...
"Old Wu, your toilet plunger is truly unique..."
Lin Qiye gasped and looked at the pool of black liquid on the ground, and couldn't help but complain.
Wu Hen chuckled, "That's not an ordinary toilet plunger, it's my unique magic weapon! How about it, isn't it amazing?"
"Awesome, awesome, simply...too awesome..." Lin Qiye rolled his eyes, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If it weren't for Wu Hen's "unique magic weapon" that unexpectedly controlled the monster, they would probably have died here today.
"But what on earth is this?" Lin Qiye looked at the liquid on the ground with a frown.
Wu Hen also came over and observed it carefully. "It looks... like some kind of... mutant creature?"
"Mutated creatures?" Lin Qiye's mind moved, and he suddenly thought of something.
"Old Wu, can your system analyze the composition of this thing?"
"Of course!" Wu Hen said, and called up the system interface again, operating it like a tiger.
"The analysis results are out!" Wu Hen looked at the data on the screen, his face becoming serious.
"This thing... is related to the Night's Watch..."
"Night watchman?"
Lin Qiye's heart trembled, "It seems that things are becoming more and more complicated..."
Just then, a cold wind blew by, and both of them felt an inexplicable chill at the same time.
"Be careful!" Lin Qiye shouted softly and turned around suddenly, only to see a dark shadow standing not far away, looking at them quietly.
The black figure was tall, wearing a black cloak and a mask on his face.
The face could not be seen clearly, but the eyes that were exposed were flashing with a cold light.
"Who are you?" Lin Qiye asked vigilantly, gripping the long knife in his hand tightly.
The shadow didn't say anything, but slowly raised his right hand...
