After detecting the location of [Huo Lin'er], Liu Xuan plunged into the cold pool without saying a word.
As soon as he entered the water, a biting chill hit him directly. The light underwater is also unusually dim.
After diving towards the sensed position for a while, Liu Xuan vaguely saw a burst of red light under the water. This made him feel happy and quickly swam towards the red light.
In [Pinghai City], Zhao Yuan learned that Liu Xuan and [Huo Lin'er] fell into the Juesheng Valley together. He suddenly became furious and furious, pointing at [Yao Hu]'s nose and cursing.
"You bastard, you are a majestic cavalry commander and you can't even catch two little thieves. What's the use of keeping you here! Someone, pull me down and give me two hundred military sticks!"
[Yao Hu] below was immediately startled when he heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to defend himself: "Your Majesty, City Lord, it's not just that I'm not trying my best, it's really..."
"Stop making excuses in front of me!" Yao Hu was interrupted by Zhao Yuan before he could finish his words.
"This time it's just a small punishment but a big warning! If you can't bring that unicorn back within half a month, you won't have to be the cavalry commander anymore!"
Seeing how tyrannical the new city lord was, other officials were very dissatisfied. However, since the new official took office, they did not dare to trouble the Lord of the City at this time. They all chose to shut up.
And [Zhao Yuan] was also very satisfied with everyone's reaction. After sitting back on the throne of the city lord with a round belly, he gave an order to the deputy city lord in charge of finance.
"From now on, all taxes and operating and management fees in the city will be doubled, and the prices of materials provided to those untouchables will also be doubled!"
The deputy city lord frowned when he heard this: "Mr. City lord, this seems to be against the rules. Should we report it to the court first?"
[Zhao Yuan] snorted coldly and said with a sinister expression: "Since the imperial court appointed me to be the city lord, then I will naturally have the final say in matters in [Pinghai City]! If you can't do these things, I, the city lord I don’t mind if someone else takes your seat!”
He spent most of his family's money in order to become the city lord. Now that he is in power, he naturally has to earn back double the money.
After hearing this, the deputy city lord did not dare to argue anymore and quickly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I obey your orders."
At this time, not only [Pinghai City], but other major cities also issued similar price increase announcements. In an instant, all the players in the game exploded.
"Fuck! I don't make much money by setting up stalls in the main city all day long, and now I'm asking for double tax, so what a waste!"
"Official dog, this is not giving any chance of survival to the stray people!"
"Internal news, it is said that because the aliens counterattacked and the players were defeated so miserably, the officials are forcing us individual people to go to the front lines to defend the city."
. . . . .
After Zhuge Ling learned that Liu Xuan was being hunted, he quickly sent a message to Liu Xuan, but Liu Xuan was running for his life at the time and had no time to go back.
It wasn't until he fished [Huo Lin'er] out of the water with difficulty that he collapsed on the ground and gave the other party a voice reply.
"Husband, how are you doing over there?" As soon as the call was connected, Zhuge Ling asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, but [Huo Lin'er] was seriously injured and is still in a coma. I'm trying to figure out how to save her."
At this time, [Huo Lin'er] was protected by a layer of red light, and his health was only at the last 5%. The remaining time of the light group is only the last 10 minutes.
Through the power of the equal contract, Liu Xuan could clearly feel that [Huo Lin'er]'s life was already in danger. Once this guardian light group disappears, she will most likely die.
A contract of equals is different from a contract of master and servant. After the NPC signs an equal contract with the player, its attributes and skills will not change in any way, but it cannot gain experience from the player to upgrade. Once dead, players cannot spend their own experience to revive them.
So Liu Xuan didn't dare to delay and hurriedly fed it most of the remaining healing medicine in the bag.
But these ordinary healing drugs had no effect on her. Only a level 3 fire attribute fruit restored 1% of her health.
After learning about the situation, Zhuge Ling hurriedly said: "Where are you now? I will bring people and herbs to pick you up right away."
Liu Xuan glanced at the map and was about to send the location to Zhuge Ling when there was a sudden movement in the cold pool ahead. Immediately afterwards, a burst of bubbles began to appear quickly in the center of the entire water surface.
Seeing this, he quickly picked up the spear in his hand and stood in front of Huo Lin'er on guard.
Soon a blurry figure began to approach the water quickly. Just when he was about to launch a thunderous strike at the opponent, the head of a cute and cute girl suddenly jumped out of the water.
"Wow! I was holding it in so hard that I almost burped..."
Two more heads soon appeared next to the girl.
Liu Xuan couldn't help but was slightly startled when he saw the ID above the other person's head. Then he put away the spear in his hand and smiled at the three of them: "Why are you three here?"
The three of them were obviously startled when they heard Liu Xuan's voice. After seeing Liu Xuan's appearance, the girl who came out first said excitedly: "Ah! Lord Liao Yuan, why did you come to this ghost place?" coming?"
The three of them were [Meng Yang], [Qin Tian] and [Lu Li] whom Liu Xuan met in the Misty Valley before.
"I'll explain to you later, do you have any fire-attribute elixir in your hands now?" Liu Xuan couldn't wait to ask after the three of them landed.
[Qin Tian] saw [Huo Lin'er] lying on the ground and obviously guessed that the other party was taking medicine to save his life, so he nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, sir, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he traded all the more than 50 fire-attribute elixirs in the bag to Liu Xuan.
After getting the herbs, Liu Xuan hurried back to [Huo Lin'er] and gave her all the herbs to drink.
Soon her blood volume began to rise rapidly. After the blood volume returned to 15%, [Huo Lin'er] slowly woke up.
Liu Xuan was relieved when he saw this.
"How are you feeling? Do you want to get some other healing medicine for you to take?"
[Huo Lin'er] stood up and shook his head, looking at Liu Xuan with a somewhat complicated look. Although she had been in a self-proclaimed state of slumber before, she could still sense what was happening in the outside world.
"Thank you for saving me."
Liu Xuan waved his hand: "I am the one who got you into trouble this time. I didn't expect this city lord to be so shameless."
Hearing [Huo Lin'er] speak human words, [Qintian] and others couldn't help but feel surprised. Liu Xuan also told the three people the cause and process of the incident in detail.
[Meng Yang] immediately said angrily after hearing this: "This dog city lord is so shameless! He actually used the city guards to steal opportunities from players. Doesn't the GM care about this kind of thing?"
"Haha, those GMs are just decorations. Only those who can take care of them are evil." [Lu Li] said with a sneer.
[Meng Yang] snorted coldly: "Huh, when our level rises, we will chop this dog official into pieces sooner or later."
Liu Xuan nodded in agreement. He would return to this place no matter what in the future.
"What about you? How did you get here?"
Hearing this, [Qin Tian] and [Lu Li] all looked at [Meng Yang], their eyes full of resentment.
