Chapter 49 Pledge of Vengeance
But he saw him using his hands and feet to move down the tree trunk with a very strange movement. Before he could see clearly, he had already landed on the ground, as nimble as a squirrel.
Hua Mi took a step back and stared at him warily.
The guy seemed to have seen something funny, and there was a bit of contempt in his smile: "Don't be nervous, it was the old man who asked me to come and say hello to you." Hua Mi
looked at him: "That's how you treat people. Say hello?"
He spread his hands and said with a playful smile: "You are right, as a legendary thief, this is how I greet you, how does it feel?" It turned out to be a
thief.
The old man looks like a decent man, why would he find such a teammate?
Hua Mi sneered: "You look very proud of your performance." "
I don't deny this. You didn't notice it at all just now, did you? A perfect theft."
The thief crossed his arms and looked provocatively. Looking at him.
"The technique is indeed very beautiful, but I hope it won't happen again." "
..."
The thief did not speak, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his pupils flashed with a cunning light.
"Now, let's get down to business." Hua Mi picked up the Fengshen Arrow and put it back into the quiver. "You can't be just trying to play a prank when you come here." "I have something to discuss with you. Wait
. Just a moment, my dear teammates will be here soon." The thief said and leaned against the tree trunk.
"..."
Hua Mi vaguely realized that the purpose of their trip might also be related to unicorns.
A little white light lit up not far away.
The brightness gradually increased, penetrating the thin night.
The girl walked in front holding her staff, and the light came from the top of her staff.
Behind her was the old man, walking at a leisurely pace.
Behind him is the dwarf, following in small steps.
The last person walking was the unknown creature wrapped like a rice dumpling.
"I'm sorry for hiding our purpose from you earlier, but please believe us, there is a reason for doing this." The old man still had a warm smile on his face, which made people feel no hostility.
"I am [Grey Robe] Turner. You can also just call me 'Grey Robe'. How should I call you?" "
Bee Whisperer."
"Bee Whisperer... has a very unique pronunciation. Now we know, you You want something from a unicorn, what exactly?"
"Some horn powder."
There's no need to hide this.
The gray robe nodded: "It doesn't seem to be going well. A proud unicorn will not easily allow people to benefit from it." "..."
Hua
Mi still doesn't know what the other party wants to do with him, but he knows how to talk too much. It was a lost truth, so I didn’t rush to ask and let him speak for himself.
The gray robe paused and said: "We are here to implement a plan. If you can participate, this plan will become much easier." "
What plan?"
"Hunting unicorns."
He said clearly Lightweight, as if you were talking about hunting a wild boar.
"Join us and I guarantee you will get what you want."
"..."
This is a very tempting proposal.
If it really succeeds, the horn powder will be available immediately.
Compared with complex routes such as the Underdark, Beholders, Persuasion, Mortgage, etc., this simple and crude plan is more to Hua Mi's liking.
Buy and sell in one fell swoop, no procrastination.
But...
"This is unreasonable. A fifth-level mage can't even touch the hair of a unicorn." Little Chengzi whispered quietly.
Yes, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. How many of them want to hunt unicorns?
That is a creature that can easily teleport people to 800 meters away.
But this old man doesn't look like the kind of crazy man who talks nonsense. He looks very smart and reliable. He said he has a plan, and maybe there is some way to suppress the unicorn.
Give it a listen.
"The unicorn seems to be defenseless against you, or in other words, it trusts the little guy in your robe. We can take advantage of this trust." The
gray robe looked at him with eager eyes: "What you have to do is very simple. Just go see it again like before. When it is done, you will get the unicorn horn powder you want. It’s a good deal, isn’t it?” Hearing
him say it so easily and so temptingly, Hua Mi Instead, he became vigilant.
How could such a good thing happen?
Pies will not fall from the sky for no reason, sometimes they will be poisoned.
This old guy may be holding back his bad intentions to trick himself.
Hua Mi pondered for a moment and decided not to express his attitude yet, instead making some insinuation: "It is said that those who hurt unicorns will be cursed." The
gray-robed man laughed dryly: "This statement has not been completely confirmed, and those people in the rumors may also It just happened to be unlucky, and there are too many variables to be used as a reference. And even if it is true, we don’t need to worry. Because it is not me or you who kills the unicorn. We have an excellent choice. ."
He said and looked back.
The unknown creature wrapped in a rice dumpling standing at the back stepped forward.
The gray robe raised his hand and took off his hood.
He has messy mid-length gray hair, sparsely spread out, and his face is covered with bandages, revealing only a pair of bloodshot eyes.
The eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be some unsettling emotion hidden in the pupils.
Stronger than desire, deeper than anger.
"No matter what the curse is, it can't cover death." The gray robe said, pulling off the bandage on Zongzi's face.
Hua Mi saw his appearance clearly and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
There was no blood on this guy's face, it was as white as lime, and it was rotten in many places. It looked like a dead person's face.
But his eyes clearly showed that he was still alive.
Because only living people can express emotions so clearly.
"This is..."
"The resurrected corpse crawls back to the world with a thirst for revenge, vowing to drag the enemy into hell." The gray-robed man's eyes flashed, as if he were looking at a work of art.
Hua Mi didn't understand.
After dying and coming back to life, isn't this a zombie?
"It was killed by the unicorn. Now it is recalled to the world by its mentor in the form of a resurrected corpse, and it has been given a certain period of revenge time. Even if this body is destroyed during this period, it can immediately find another humanoid body. The creature's corpse rises again...until time runs out, or revenge is achieved."
The girl looked at the gray robe with admiration:
"This is the proud work of the mentor, and it is also an important part of our plan to hunt unicorns!" She
roughly understood the definition of a resurrected corpse.
But Hua Mi was still confused.
Can this tattered corpse deal with a unicorn?
Unless it has some special power.
The gray robe smiled slightly: "The most exciting part is next..."
"Ah!!!"
A sudden scream interrupted the gray robe's speech.
Everyone present raised their weapons and assumed a fighting stance.
Hua Mi realized it later and reached out to touch the location of the magic box.
Still there.
But the thief was able to reach here without anyone noticing.
If he hadn't arranged a few Pain Bees inside in advance, he might have succeeded.
The thief's right hand was swollen, and he fell to the ground rolling around, groaning in pain.
"I warned you, don't do it a second time."
