Chapter Thirteen Mantises Catching Cicadas(1/2)
"Okay, OK, have you talked enough? I didn't eat anything in the morning and I'm almost starving now. Let's find a way to find something to eat?"
The girl, who was clearly saying that she was about to starve to death, waved her hand and said, "Hurry up, let's leave here quickly."
After Yujiali reminded him, the four of them felt that their stomachs were getting more empty. They stood up from the ground and looked around them roughly. Triton turned around and said, "Okay, let's find something to eat! Then, let's act separately?"
As soon as Triton finished speaking, Yu Jiali waved her hand and refused, "No, the jungle is so dangerous. This is the first day. We have encountered so many messy things. I want to stay with everyone!"
Nodded subconsciously, Grans really didn't want to be alone anymore, Mullisa on the side nodded as well. Seeing this, Triton grabbed the back of his head: "Since that's the case, then we..."
"Wait,"
Cruise suddenly interrupted Triton's words, and looked at the puzzled gazes that came to him by the few people, he said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I won't be with you anymore. I'll go to other places to see, and how will everyone join together in the end?"
"Cruise, why not come with everyone?"
Grans couldn't help but dissuade him: "The jungle is too strange to us. There are countless dangers hidden in the dark here. It's better to take care of everyone together. The best way to act together is."
"No," Cruise's attitude was very firm. He knew that if he didn't say clearly, these people would not let him leave easily. Besides, they would have to spend some time together day and night. If they hide it, they would misunderstand it, and make them feel a little withdrawn and unsociable, and they would be isolated from the core.
Cruise knew very well that what he needed most now was the trust of others. If he wanted to gain trust, he had to be honest at the beginning! Thinking of this, Cruise made up his mind and told the excuse he had already thought of: "Actually, I have a reason."
Under the gaze of several people, Cruise explained: "I am a ranger, a ranger who specializes in stealth searching. Although the jungle is dangerous, it will be safer if I act alone. Grans should prove this."
Recalling the scene when he was confronted with the shadow wolf not long ago, Grans nodded hesitantly: "Yes, Cruise's stealth ability is quite powerful, and even if he pays special attention to observation, it is not easy to see."
"Yes, that's it," Cruise, who was affirmed by Grans, quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued: "So I want to try it separately. While looking for food and water sources, we can also prepare in advance if we find dangerous creatures."
Looking at the continuous communication of eyes and the few people with hesitation on their faces, Cruise felt aroused in his heart and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't worry, don't worry about me, I will never encounter any danger. I am not Grans."
Glens was embarrassed when he heard this, and the people around him couldn't help laughing. After a moment, Triton patted his shoulder: "That's right, Cruise, you think very thoughtfully, we should check the situation around us. In this way, if you act alone, we will stop and wait for you to meet in half an hour."
Nodded, and as the power in his body moved slightly, Cruise's body disappeared without a trace in front of everyone. The few people who saw this scene couldn't help but grow their mouths and subconsciously showed a look of amazement.
After carefully looking around, Triton, who had been making sure Cruise left, shook his head and said to the other three, "Okay, let's go too."
...
The jungle is dangerous, and its danger comes from only those fierce predators, and more in the darkness that is not noticeable, such as:
Bang! He could not escape a black line that was attacking. The next moment, Cruise took a knife and cut the "black line" that was deeply biting in the tree trunk in half. Then he quickly retreated without looking. In an instant, he saw that the place where he was originally standing was surrounded by vague green fog. With a trace of sweet fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, the leaves surrounded by green fog were visible to the naked eye.
Ignoring this terrifying scene, Cruise inserted the dagger in his hand into the soil with expressionless expression. After waiting patiently for a while, he pulled out the dagger and wiped the dried soil on it little by little with the leaves. Then he put the dagger away again.
Cruise, who was pricking up his ears and listening attentively for a while, confirmed that there was no one else around him, looked up and looked around, then walked to a big tree and stood still. With a light wave of his left hand, a rectangular object about half the size of a palm flew out of his sleeve, rapidly changing in the air into four sharp barbs, and then fixed on the branch on the tree.
He pulled it hard, and confirmed that Cruise had his hook claws fixed, his body was as light as a swallow. He stepped on the big tree and came to the top of the tree in three steps and two steps. After hiding his body completely among the leaves, he put down the alert in his heart.
He leaned against the tree and sat on the branches and looked at the blue sky. Cruise couldn't calm down. He wanted to shout and vent his vent, but he was afraid of attracting the attention of those powerful predators. In the constant confrontation between depression and reason, he finally chose to give up.
With a secret sigh, Cruise looked down at his hands. These were young hands, with no calluses or scars on them. If it weren't for seeing them with your own eyes, Cruise would never believe that anyone in this world had blue skin, just like Avatar in the movie!
But they are not Avatars! ‘Cruise’ knew this very well, and he also understood the race of this body quite well. They are Draenei people!
"Draenei!"
Cruise's eyes fell into a blur. After a moment, he sighed deeply and said to himself unconsciously: "How can it be a Draenei? How can it be a Draenei?!"
In the past, it was a well-known online game that was popular all over the world. The "Cruise" who was accidentally touched was soon caught up in it and was fascinated by her splendor. As one of the "senior casual" players, "Cruise" certainly knew this group of strange races with a ** face, knew that they lived on an island called the Secret Blue Island, knew that their boss was called Viren, and knew that their most professions were shamans and priests!
Oh yes, the reason he knew this was what he really learned when he participated in the massacre. As a player who fought bravely for the tribe, Cruise was not interested in the past of the race Delaney. After all, it was just a character he joined during the TBC period. He was ugly and unpleasant, and his talent was just an alliance, which was difficult to attract his attention.
But "Cruise" now regrets it. If he had known that his soul would penetrate the Draenei man yesterday, he would have broken away from the barbaric rule of the tribe early and rolled to the feet of Viren as soon as possible to be a loyal alliance dog. Of course, at least he would have to make the past and present of the Draenei man clear.
People, they will only regret it when they are desperate, but there are not so many ifs in this world! When I thought of this, "Cruise" smiled bitterly. If I knew, he would never have logged in to the account for several years after AFK, and then went to see that world. He would not have encountered a trumpet of Pastor Delaney who was doing a mission, and he would have killed both sides and chose to keep the corpse.
Sure enough, killing a small trumpet is a good time, and going out will be a crematorium! So, all of this is the fault of the Alliance Dog!!!
A cold wind blew, and the leaves couldn't help dancing and rustling with the wind. Subconsciously tightened their thin clothes. Cruise, who came to his senses, felt ridiculous about his previous random thoughts.
When is it now? I am still thinking about the ones that are there? Besides, the Alliance Dogs have been barking for several years, but in the end, my tribe pigs still came to the league's banner, and there was no chance to resist and refuse!
"system!"
He shouted softly in Chinese with a rounded tone, and saw a slight purple light flashing from the clothes on Cruise's chest. A moment later, a round ball as big as a fist appeared in front of him.
With his mental power deep into it, Cruise only felt bitter as he looked at the task prompt that almost covered his entire vision.
【Ultimate Mission: The Redemption of the Holy Light!】

Punishment for mission failure: None (people who are scattered in their souls do not need punishment)!
As a player who has the AFK in the late stage of the "Forgot to Open" version, besides the Orange Axe Egg Knife and the Wind Sword, when did Cruise see so many legendary items, whether it is equipment or weapons, when these things are placed in front of him like cabbage, his only feeling is numbness.
But after numbness, all that was left was the chill and panic that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Looking at the rows of forces of all sizes in the mission reward, Cruise had only one thought left in his mind, pills, and taking date pills!
No wonder Cruise had this idea, because this is the reaction that a normal person should have. You should know that this is not a game, it is a living reality. If you still treat it as a game, haha, I guess the supporting roles who appear in two episodes of the TV series, who live longer than you!
And as the common enemy of those forces, especially the so-called mastermind behind it, how terrifying would it exist?
It's so scary to think about it!!! Cruise couldn't help but feel scared, but unfortunately he couldn't refuse. His life was caught in his hands, and now he can only walk one way to the dark.
Thinking of this, Cruise sighed again. Maybe the environment can really change a person, just like himself, he is obviously a cheerful and older young man, but now he has become sentimental.

【The Holy Light Betrayed Me! Incredible Dark Thoughts!!!】
...
Staring at the numbers on the attribute panel, Cruise only felt ache, and saw what was written on it? A real man in 25 seconds? Haha, is this laughing at me for being short?
Once again, Cruise turned the system back into a tattoo, looked up at the sky with a melancholy, and in a sigh, he finally patted his butt and jumped off the branches, and his figure disappeared into the jungle.
Shortly after Cruise left, ripples suddenly flashed around the empty house. Two children-sized mini bronze dragons appeared on the top of the tree. They looked at the direction of Cruise's departure, then flapped their wings and said, "The mission is completed, should we leave?"
"Wait a little longer, let's observe!" said another young dragon: "This is a task assigned by Goddess Eluen himself, we must not make mistakes!"
"Then you are here," Youlong wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction: "The great Emperor Shenwu is still waiting for me to report the news, I don't want to waste time here!"
Seeing that his companion was really about to leave, the young dragon who said he wanted to leave was panicked and couldn't help but persuade him: "Don't interfere, aren't you afraid that the task is not completed? Did your boss peel you off and get cramped?"
The young dragon, who was originally saying that he was leaving, stopped the magic he was preparing. It was obvious that the guy opposite had the idea. As the top secret in the top secret mission, the young dragon knew very well what punishment he would receive after the mission failed. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shivered.
"Then, I'm observing for two days?"
Soon the two young dragons reached a consensus. In order to complete the tasks assigned by their boss, they had to observe carefully for two more days. This was a huge risk of life. If you accidentally die, the dragon would die. I believe that his boss would understand it in two days... right?
To be continued...
