Chapter 271 Danger
Lu Youyou accepted the mission and handed Xiao Cui a high-level all-purpose pill, thus completing mission one.
As for the second task, Lu Youyou turned her gaze to Wang Qiao, who was grilling meat under the awning.
She got out of the car with Xiao Cui and came to Wang Qiao's side.
"What's wrong, Youyou? Are you craving meat?"
"No, I took on a task from Xiao Cui to find her a competition partner, and I was wondering if you could..."
"Perfect timing! I also took on a task for Little Goat, which is to find her a match. In that case, let's have the two of them compete?"
Lu Youyou was overjoyed: "Great!"
Suddenly, she thought of something and refused.
"No, I have to help Xiao Cui win. The little goat gave you this task too, right? One of us is bound to fail."
Wang Qiao calmly stood up, walked to Lu Youyou, and showed her the task on his watch.
"It's really just to find a worthy opponent for the little goat. I didn't say I had to help her win. I'll talk to the little goat in a bit and have her concede at the last minute, okay?"
The little goat came trotting over, clutching a sizzling piece of roasted meat.
"You don't need to tell me later. I heard you. I can admit defeat, but Xiao Cui has to fight me well during the process."
Just as Lu Youyou was about to speak, Xiao Cui stepped forward and readily agreed.
Then, the little goat tore off a piece of clean roasted meat from its hand and gave half of it to Xiao Cui.
"Hey, eat up. You'll have the energy to fight when you're full."
The two little monsters faced each other, munching on slices of meat, and then, as if they had planned it, attacked at the same time.
The little goat's attack power is not strong, but its agility is its advantage.
Xiao Cui possesses abundant soul power, but her moves are not flexible enough.
For a while, no one could do anything to anyone.
The two little monsters were fighting back and forth in the rain, while Lu Youyou and Wang Qiao were eating barbecue and chatting under the awning.
"How many tasks have you completed?" Wang Qiao asked.
"We're working on the eighth task right now, what about you?"
"Me? This is only the fifth one."
Lu Youyou was a little surprised: "I didn't expect to see you have worse luck than me. I might have to leave the game before you do."
Wang Qiao grinned slyly: "That's not necessarily true. Do you know what my next five tasks are?"
"what?"
“Design a trendy hairstyle for the little goat, teach her how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tidy up her room, take her to a monster banquet, and whiten her skin to make her the most dazzling little monster at the banquet.”
Lu Youyou: ……
"That's why I said I'm not necessarily slower than you. Except for the last one, which is a bit difficult, I can finish the first four tasks in less than an afternoon."
Lu Youyou took out the whitening soda and blackening coffee she had once found in the monster merchant's shop and handed them to Wang Qiao.
"Now that's all right, your last task has become very simple."
Upon seeing the descriptions of the two items, Wang Qiao exclaimed in delight, "Are you my lucky star? How do you have these things?"
"I don't know when I bought it from the monster merchant. I was thinking of modifying it myself, but I never got around to using it. It just takes up space in my backpack, so I might as well give it to you so it can be of some use."
"Thank you so much! Here, the sausages are ready, have some first."
Ten minutes later, the winner between Little Green and Little Goat was decided.
As expected, Xiao Cui won.
However, it wasn't that the little goat was holding back; rather, Xiao Cui had grasped the moves during the competition, and with her powerful soul force, defeating the little goat was inevitable.
"Wang Qiao, I have to move on to the next mission. If I'm too late, the target will probably be gone."
"Okay, okay, go ahead and do it."
Lu Youyou got into the car with Xiao Cui, who was covered in bruises, and then told the navigation system to drive in the direction of Zhu Nu.
"Sister, sister, have we really come to this?"
Seeing Xiao Cui looking pitiful, Lu Youyou casually fed her a mid-level all-purpose pill.
Once she recovered from her injuries, she forced a smile, her mind heavy with worry: "As long as you don't regret it."
Xiao Cui thanked him softly, her expression somber, her eyes fixed on a spot but unfocused.
Several minutes later, she spoke softly, it was unclear whether she was speaking to herself or answering Lu Youyou's question.
"I have no regrets. As long as I can get out of the dungeon, my future children will be high-level monsters, and my parents' wish will come true."
Lu Youyou patted her shoulder and said nothing more.
This was a decision Xiao Cui's family had made long ago: to sacrifice themselves to support their child.
She had no right to speak, and the only thing she could do was accept Xiao Cui's task and try her best to complete it.
They were bound together by fate, sharing both glory and loss; she and Xiao Cui were like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
The rain continued to fall, and the car sped along.
hum~
[Gu Jingchen: You dare lie to me! I used so many mechanical spiders and enhanced paralysis bullets, why didn't it work?]
Lu Youyou extracted the information that the bamboo girl was alright, and her brows and eyes relaxed.
Gu Jingchen's barrage of messages continued.
[Gu Jingchen: Why didn't it work? You dare lie to me! Don't let me find you! What is the Bamboo Maiden's weakness? What is it?!]
Lu Youyou's smile widened.
Just as she was about to show Xiao Cui the contents of the watch, Xiao Cui suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Cui!"
Lu Youyou hurriedly squatted down and reached out to check her breath.
still alive.
The weight lifted from her heart, but her heart was still pounding.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you just take a mid-level panacea? Do you have some internal injuries?"
Xiao Cui looked up helplessly, tears streaming down her face in a panic.
She loosened her clenched fist, revealing the bamboo pendant broken in two.
"Sister! My mother is in danger! Her soul power is infused into the pendant. She usually uses it to sense my presence. She won't remove the soul power unless she encounters serious trouble!"
buzzing-
The watch continued to vibrate.
Every single message was posted by Gu Jingchen, questioning why the bamboo maiden wasn't injured, and even saying that she hadn't even bumped into anything.
Lu Youyou suddenly burst out laughing; Gu Jingchen had indeed discovered her little scheme.
Knowing that she didn't want the bamboo girl to die, she kept sending her messages telling her the false situation.
If Xiao Cui hadn't sensed that the Bamboo Maiden was being harmed, she would have truly believed that Gu Jingchen hadn't found a way to kill her.
After all, she had fought the Stone King for a long time before seriously injuring him.
But she forgot that she was fighting the Stone King with her pet, while Gu Jingchen's gang had hundreds of people.
Even if each person attacks a specific part of the bamboo woman, they can still find out that her eyes are her weak point.
"Sister, what should we do..."
Xiao Cui's voice trembled, and her body shook.
"Navigation, how much longer until we reach the Bamboo Maiden?"
Estimated arrival time: half an hour.
