Chapter 042 : Carrying out an alien mission

After Luo Xiu’s profound teaching, the other party finally realized his mistake and reluctantly threw the wheat in his hand aside.

"Well, once we complete the mission and get paid, we can just buy some from the Feng Luo couple."

Seeing that Qi Feng was really reluctant to leave, Luo Xiu still made a feasible suggestion.

"Luo Xiu, you are so nice."

A group of little stars immediately appeared in Qi Feng's eyes.

At this moment, Luo Xiu looked to the side and saw a golden box moving towards him.

Luo Xiu put a finger to his lips to indicate that something was wrong.

Qi Feng rushed behind Luo Xiu, squatted down with him, and looked at the ground.

To them, how big can a groundhog be? They can only bend down to see it.

In just one second, a half-meter-high wave of earth suddenly passed in front of Luo Xiu and the others, and rushed towards the small hill in front of them.

It was so fast that Luo Xiu didn't have time to react.

The two watched the earth waves hit the hillside and came under the big tree.

Then a scream was heard.

"Ah, help ... "

Luo Xiu and Qi Feng were stunned, then turned around and ran up the hillside.

When we got under the big tree, we saw a huge groundhog licking Yolulu's head.

Its big, shiny teeth were dangling on Yolulu's forehead, and if he wasn't careful, they might fall and crack him.

"Groundhog, listen to me, you are surrounded, quickly put down the hostages and surrender ... "

At the critical moment, Luo Xiu took out his weapon and pointed it at the opponent, while howling.

Qi Feng looked at him in surprise and asked seriously , " This groundhog can speak Earth language?"

"I don't know, but since it's an alien creature, I guess it will." Luo Xiu was a little uncertain.

The groundhog suddenly stopped and started chirping at Luo Xiu.

"Hiss, it really can understand." Qi Feng opened her eyes wide, which made her feel so magical, and then asked Luo Xiu, "What is it saying?"

Luo Xiu listened attentively, frowned, and said seriously , " I don't understand."

"I guess he's going to say that the head isn't tasty and he wants to eat yours." Looking at the groundhog's behavior, Luo Xiu made another blind guess.

How could Qi Feng possibly believe it? He glanced at Luo Xiu coldly.

At this time, Yolulu, who had recovered from the shock, took a breath and said , " It said that its home was occupied, its wife and children were captured, and it was being hunted, and it wanted us to help it."

Fortunately, someone understood groundhog language, and Luo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

I walked up to take a look at the groundhog, which was as big as a cow, and sighed that alien creatures are simply extraordinary.

Then he asked , " What's the reward?"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak." Yolulu translated at the same time.

The groundhog just stood there, motionless.

Finally, seeing that he couldn't escape any more, the groundhog shed a few tears and said, "Squeak, squeak, squeak."

The two looked at Yolulu, who also wiped away her tears and said with emotion:

"It said it had no way to repay us, so it could only hand over its several hundred kilograms of body to us for disposal."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go find the guy chasing it." Qi Feng wiped his saliva, turned around and jumped into the wheat field.

The speed was so fast that Luo Xiu didn't have time to react.

"There are so many of them, hundreds of them."

However, no matter how Luo Xiu shouted, Qi Feng had disappeared.

Luo Xiu had no choice but to look away and asked the groundhog again, "Who is chasing you?"

In the dense golden straw, it continued to spread out with the crazy charge.

After running for a while, I suddenly found that the direction I was moving in seemed to have disappeared and I couldn't identify the direction at all.

And she couldn't even see an enemy, which made her doubt the groundhog's words.

Is it lying to us?

Feeling unbelievable, Qi Feng was about to go back and confront it.

Suddenly there was a noise nearby, as if someone was walking slowly by.

Qi Feng immediately squatted down, stopped making any sound, and slowly pulled out his combat gun and pointed it to the side.

When she was one meter away, she ducked and rushed to the front, pointed the gun at the other party, and shouted , " Don't move, put your hands up, uh ... "

What appeared before her was actually a scarecrow.

The body is made up of golden ears of wheat, tied into pieces by tassel ropes.

He was wearing a straw hat made of the same material, and two blue lights were coming out of his head, like two eyes.

"Huh? It moves?" Qi Feng couldn't help but take a step back and asked quickly , " What kind of alien are you and why are you hunting groundhogs?"

But the scarecrow in front of her did not answer her. Instead, he waved his right hand, and two tridents were installed on his hands, with blood dripping slowly from them.

Without hesitation, Qi Feng shot on the spot. Two shots were heard and the bullets instantly passed through the opponent's body.

Two small holes were made in the wheat ears, but this had no effect on the Scarecrow and he continued to walk towards her.

However, the scarecrow's speed was not fast, and his walking speed was about the same as that of an ordinary person, so Qi Feng easily escaped from him.

When he came in, Qi Feng had not encountered any living creatures, but he did not expect that as soon as he thought of leaving, numerous scarecrows appeared in all directions.

What bad luck ... Qi Feng shot at the scarecrow in front of him again, but it still had no effect.

After wandering around inside and unable to find the way out, Qi Feng couldn't help but frown.

Just as she was about to be surrounded, she suddenly heard the sound of running. She turned around and saw Luo Xiu riding a groundhog towards her.

What a groundhog knight.

Luo Xiu first raised his gun and shot, and bullets repeatedly pierced the scarecrow's body.

It was ineffective at first, but then Luo Xiu pointed at their heads and the bullets went right through their eyes, and the blue light went out immediately.

Then the light in the second eye disappeared, and the scarecrow fell to the ground.

Qi Feng followed suit and fired his two guns around her, and the eyes of the scarecrows around her were all extinguished on the spot.

They all fell down.

After the crisis was resolved, Qi Feng hurried to Luo Xiu's side.

"These aliens are a bit weird, let's exit now."

Luo Xiu had no objection and patted the groundhog under his seat, signaling it to leave.

But the groundhog was unwilling to do that. His wife and children were waiting for rescue. He ignored Luo Xiu's order and ran forward on all four legs.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qi Feng was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to follow them closely.

Could it be that Luo Xiu has found a way to deal with them?

As he was thinking this, he saw Luo Xiu swaying left and right on the groundhog, and finally he lay down.

"Slow down, I feel dizzy."

As Luo Xiu spoke, he checked the system message that had just been transmitted.

[Kill the scarecrow and gain 8 merit points]

[Kill the scarecrow with a madman and get 8 merit points] x4

"Hey, is this the true function of soul bonds? But how are they formed? Can we have more candidates for bonds?"

Just as Luo Xiu was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up. The groundhog led Luo Xiu out of the wheat field and came to a huge pit.

Inside the giant pit, as many as 50 scarecrows formed a circle. Inside the circle, a figure wearing a straw hat was directing two scarecrows to drag the bodies of five groundhogs in front of him.

These five groundhogs, one big and four small, look like a family. They might be the wife and children of the groundhog who is seeking help.

Alas, I am still a step late.

The man was thin and wore ordinary clothes: a green cloth shirt and grey pants with mud on the corners.

The most eye-catching thing is his face, which is the same as that of an Earthling, but the hair that falls from his straw hat is green.

Looks like a farmer.

When he raised his head, a centipede-like stitching line stretched from the corner of his eyebrow to the corner of his mouth.

The originally delicate face looked extremely hideous against the backdrop of the scar.

He seemed very surprised to see Luo Xiu appear, but when he saw the groundhog under Luo Xiu's seat, his expression suddenly changed again.

Became hideous and terrifying.

He pointed at Luo Xiu and commanded the scarecrow beside him , " Go kill him."

The scarecrows suddenly turned their heads and climbed out of the huge pit step by step.

At the same time, hundreds of scarecrows came out from the wheat and trapped Luo Xiu in the center.

At this time, the man in the straw hat muttered something, then stretched out his hands and grabbed the groundhog's body in the air.

A blue ball of light flew out of the corpse and landed in his hand.

Although it was dark, Luo Xiu could still see a small groundhog shouting and roaring in the ball of light.

However, the straw hat man ignored its cries and stuffed it into the scarecrow shell that had been prepared nearby.

As he muttered something again, the scarecrow stood up shakily, stretched its arms and legs, and then joined the army that was besieging Luo Xiu.

In a short while, he extracted all the soul fragments from the groundhogs.

The hard work paid off. The man in the straw hat wiped the sweat off his face and turned to look at the fruits of his labor.

Unexpectedly, the next second, a fire snake suddenly shot out and set all the scarecrows on fire.

In just a dozen seconds, they turned into a pile of ashes.

There were more than 150 of them, and they all disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The man in the straw hat moved his lips for a moment, then his legs softened and he actually knelt on the ground.

[Kill the scarecrow and gain 8 merit points] X158

At the same time, the system sounds a reminder tone again.

[Merit value 4538 points, congratulations on becoming a corporal]

[Eligibility to lead a 10-person team]

[Unlocked profession: Knight, unlock conditions: Strength 50, speed 50, spirit 50]

He didn't expect to be promoted so quickly, but the conditions for unlocking the career that followed made him frown.

The knight profession has such high requirements.

The spirit value has been reached and exceeded, the strength value is still a little short, and it is only the speed value that lags behind.

The key point is that there are not many occupations available in his career list, so it is difficult to improve these attribute values.

Do you want to take drugs?

After thinking for a while, Luo Xiu could only compromise with reality. It seemed that this was the only way.

After analyzing his own situation, when Luo Xiu raised his chin and looked at the straw hat man, he found that his face was full of fear.

His hands and feet crawled backwards uncontrollably, but at an incredibly slow speed.

At this time, the groundhog under the seat let out a sad wail and rushed to the side of its family. No matter how it called, the corpses did not respond at all.

Luo Xiu jumped off the marmot's back and came to the straw hat man. Looking at his frightened eyes, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

By the way, is it illegal to kill groundhogs here?

"No, don't kill me?" The man in the straw hat stopped in fear, his legs shaking, and a pungent smell emanating from him.

With the help of the communication crystal, Luo Xiu could hear clearly what the other party said.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart , " He looked so majestic just now, why did he become so cowardly after all the scarecrow army disappeared?"

Luo Xiu looked at him in silence. The oppressive feeling brought by this made him unable to bear it any longer. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

At this time, Qi Feng also rushed out from the wheat, came to the straw hat man and looked at him.

"Is this the guy who made the scarecrow?"

Qi Feng circled around him, the curiosity in his eyes quickly faded, "He's just an ordinary guy, you know what, he's quite handsome."

"How to deal with him?" Qi Feng asked.

"This? Bring him to Yolulu and let Yolulu talk to him." In the end, Luo Xiu chose to leave the problem to professionals.

It is impossible to kill people. What if the rulers here are unhappy? They might even attack the earth.

On a small hill.

Yolulu circled around the young man in the straw hat again and again, with a serious look on his face, then a smile, and then a sigh.

Luo Xiu was confused and asked:

"This guy is the one who made the scarecrow to attack the groundhog family, but how should we deal with him? Should we just let him go?"

"Oh ... " Yolulu sighed again, and the circling steps finally stopped.

"This guy has learned evil magic and has nothing to do with the killing of groundhogs. Of course, killing groundhogs is not a crime."

I learned another piece of knowledge. It turns out that just like on Earth, killing groundhogs is not illegal, so they are probably not rare animals.

"If we send him to a nearby lord, we can get a lot of gold coins, but ... "

Yolulu sighed again, and said in the inquiring eyes of the two people:

"But there must be someone behind this man who led him down the evil path. If we catch him, it would be equivalent to offending that person."

"Then let's kill him." Qi Feng thought it would be a trouble, so he might as well just find a place to bury him.

"No." Yolulu rejected the suggestion.

"If his family comes and finds out that we did it, we won't be able to defend ourselves at all."

After a second of silence, Yolulu sighed and said , " You guys should leave here quickly. I will take care of the rest."

Just then, the groundhog ran out from the wheat field, squeaked a few times at the crowd, and then ran back to the wheat field, and was not seen for a long time.

Yolulu translated , " It said thank you for helping its family to avenge itself. It will go find a new wife and raise new offspring."

Wow, what a cool groundhog.

Before leaving, Luo Xiu bought 10 bottles of attribute potions from Yoululu.

Unfortunately, he could only buy so much. His stock was limited. It would take some time to replenish the stock. After all, he was just a small businessman and didn't have much stock.

Passing through the time and space gate again, Luo Xiu and Qi Feng returned to the roof of the gas station.

At this time, the sun has risen.

Luo Xiu obtained five ghost stones, and Qi Feng also got a bundle of wheat ears as he wished. This was a gift from the Feng Luo couple who were very satisfied with the mission.

During the time he was away, nothing happened at the gas station, which allowed Luo Xiu to finally put his uneasy heart to rest.

"I'll go cook first. I haven't eaten such pure rice in a long time."

Qi Feng held the wheat ear and ran down the roof quickly. She wanted to show off her skills in the kitchen.

Luo Xiu was left with nothing to do, so he drank the attribute potion while taking the aircraft to study it.

[Luo Xiu: Corporal]

[Level: D-Tank Class]

[Strength: 43]

[Speed: 36]

[Spirit: 57]

【Condition: Good】

He first picked up a ghost stone, then took out a brass bullet.

"Rough alchemy activated."

As the brass bullet slid across the dark stone, the pattern formed by the copper wire became clearer and clearer on it.

A simple energy-guiding matrix is like adding a positive and negative terminal to a battery.

This is what Luo Xiu learned from Yolulu. Since it is very common on Tata Star, he doesn't charge for it.

Then Luo Xiu took out the energy battery from his personal aircraft. This thing actually needed to be charged, which was really troublesome.

Soon he stuffed the blue ghost stone into the original position of the energy battery, replacing the energy supply.

It is said that the energy of a ghost stone is equivalent to half of the earth's oil reserves, and it is much more stable than nuclear energy and will not explode easily.

In terms of safety performance, it is the best of all.

Of course, the mines that form it are also extremely rare in the galaxy and are often the target of competition among various interstellar stars.

After debugging, Luo Xiu started it slightly, and then Luo Xiu soared into the sky like a rocket.

It turned into a black dot in an instant.

"This force is strong enough."

Helplessly, Luo Fei had to adapt to the balance of the enhanced personal aircraft first.

Not knowing how high he had reached, Luo Xiu immediately turned off the aircraft, and he fell down with it.

But Luo Xiu calmly dragged the aircraft in front of him, removed the battery, and used bullets to draw a few more matrices on the ghost stone to slow down its output.

After quickly doing all this, Luo Xiu put the aircraft on his back, and a powerful whirlwind spewed out from the jet nozzle again.

Well, it's still a bit big.

With a powerful whirlwind, Luo Xiu slowly descended.

Soon, it fell to the ground.

The noise around him immediately reached his ears.

"Find the murderer and chop off his head."

A group of armed guards were shouting ferociously. They were holding a portrait drawn on a metal plate and comparing it to every person who passed by.

Of course, they also came to Luo Xiu.

The metal drawing board was brought over for comparison, and a guy with a pointed chin and monkey face looked Luo Xiu up and down.

"Not this guy, let's go."

Luo Xiu took the time to look at the image on the drawing board, and it turned out to be Big Tooth Barrow who had disappeared long ago and no one knew where he was.

Especially the big teeth in the portrait, which are excessively large, like those of a groundhog.

"What do they want to do with Barrow? Chop off his head? Did he do something bad again?" Luo Xiu's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"You are such a stubborn person. I will take this opportunity to kill you."

When those people left, Luo Xiu quickly opened his personal terminal and contacted Barrow's communication headset after simple operations.

"Hey, where are you? I'm going to save you."

"Luo Xiu!" Barrow was surprised, "Will you save me?"

There was silence for a second, and then he said , " Okay, I'm in the stadium, come find me."

The communication was closed and Luo Xiu's face became gloomy.

"This guy obviously didn't want me to go, but why did he change his mind later? Is this a trap?"

Luo Xiu operated a few times on his personal terminal, and a map soon appeared on it. The red light spot was right inside the stadium.

"That's right, he is in the stadium."
