Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

No one knows Lao Hu's full name.

Lao Hu is also an adventurer who has lived on the Plasse Continent for a long time, and he has been here longer than Xie Bai.He seldom mentions his past, people only know that he is called "Old Hu", has a high prestige, and is the leader of the camp of adventurers closest to the Arrogant Plain—Camp Melody.

Unlike the only camp in Prideland, the rest of the camps on the continent of Praser have leaders.Because old adventurers frequently leave and new adventurers join in the camp of Arrogant Plains, people discussed electing some people as leaders, but in the end they could not be unified.A camp with a relatively fixed personnel structure tends to have a strong centripetal force.People admire the powerful adventurer and gather around him.Lao Hu is the most beloved person in the melody camp.

He doesn't talk much, he is calm, and he often rides his horse back and forth between various camps.The people on the Pride Plain and the Melody Camp often communicate with each other, and people are very familiar with Lao Hu.

As soon as he entered, he was immediately warmly welcomed.

During the long winters, people always avoided moving between camps for fear of encountering the harvesters.Lao Hu didn't come for a long time. After he took his seat, he greeted people he knew well, looked back at Jiang Xiao, and asked about these new adventurers.

Jiang Xiao went back to Yu Zhou and the others and sat down.She drank the water quietly, pressing the rim of the glass to her lips, without saying a word.

After finishing his haircut, Fan Xing looked left and right in the mirror: "I don't know when it will grow."

Yu Zhou: "I knew I wouldn't cut it for you."

Fan Xing: "No, no, cut it more often in the future, it's really handsome after the cut."

The dried fish swam up to Jiang Xiao and showed her his fins happily, but Jiang Xiao didn't look at it at all.It boldly kissed Jiang Xiao on the cheek, but Jiang Xiao was not angry, just grabbed it and threw it on the table.

"What's wrong?" Yu Zhou asked, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

Jiang Xiao shook his head slowly.She stared at Lao Hu from beginning to end.

His gaze was so sharp that Lao Hu looked back at her again.Jiang Xiao's face changed in an instant, a young girl with a childish and curious face.

When Lao Hu came here, he made a special trip to meet Fan Xing.

It's just that he didn't expect the "hero" who killed thirty Reapers to be so young.Wen Feng was in charge of transmitting information between Arrogant Yuan and Melody. He didn't describe Fan Xing's appearance and age in detail. Old Hu couldn't hide his surprise when he saw Fan Xing for the first time.

Xie Bai and Ji Chunyue also came over, Fan Xing turned his head and said to Yu Zhou in a moderate voice, "Look at the monkey."

Lao Hu was very polite, at least more polite than Xie Bai, but Fan Xing still sensed distrust from his expression and movements.

He praised Fan Xing a few words about how a hero is a boy, and immediately asked Fan Xing how he dealt with the reaper.

This is naturally a matter of concern to everyone, and of course it is something Fan Xing cannot say.He smiled: "Business secrets."

"On the Praser Continent, we have a customary habit: Adventurers must unite." Old Hu said, "We will share all the skills about dealing with the Reapers to protect ourselves and others."

"It's a convention, so it's not an express rule." Fan Xing still smiled, "I'm a weird person, and I'm not willing to abide by even things written in black and white, let alone a convention. Why don't you tell me first, and you all What method did you use?"

In the original camp of Pride, Xie Bai was the only one who had actually confronted the Reapers head-on.Both Wen Feng and Ji Chunyue have encountered each other before. They used the terrain and the woods to dodge cleverly, and finally escaped. They never fought against the Reapers.

It is said that Xie Bai's confrontation that day also took advantage of the terrain and trees present.He noticed that although the body of the Reaper looked like it was made of black mist, there was a solid core hidden in the black mist.While dodging, he designed a trap with a rope between two trees. The Reaper rushed into the trap and was immediately tied around the neck by the rope.Xie Bai used the power of the branch's rebound to cut off the reaper's head with a rope, and finally found out that the reaper's true identity was an adventurer who died after being swallowed.

Lao Hu did not confess.Fan Xing's concealment displeased him.

He rubbed his fingers, turned his eyes on Fan Xing's face, moved one by one, looked at the new adventurers one by one, and suddenly smiled.

The man's smile made people feel uncomfortable, and Yu Zhou felt a sense of restraint at this moment.Fan Xing said, "You should not only come here to ask me this question."

"Of course." Lao Hu nodded.Fan Xing refused to say, he seemed to stop insisting, and instead revealed the real purpose of this trip.

There are [-] adventurer camps on the Praser Continent, which were set up by envoys sent by the Cage Lord.These [-] camps ensure that the adventurers can live a stable life. Under normal circumstances, as long as the adventurers are not provoked or actively provoked, activities in the camps will basically not be life-threatening.

The adventurers Yu Zhou encountered under the bridge were chased by Fan Xing and fled to the camp in a panic.Most of the time, the Reapers will default to only dealing with adventurers outside the camp.

It is precisely because of this that adventurers who are responsible for passing materials and information between camps are the most dangerous.

Fan Xing killed thirty reapers, which caused the number of reapers on the Arrogant Plain and nearby lands to lose balance.

"Near the melody camp, the activities of the reapers have become extremely frequent, and they have begun to invade the camp." Lao Hu pointed to his feet, "Why are these eighteen camps safe? Why are the reapers willing to bypass the camp and never come in normally? Because A bone of the cage owner is buried in each of the eighteen camps."

Fan Xing's back tensed instantly.

That was before Xie Bai and Lao Hu arrived at the "Birdcage".The adventurers who had personally witnessed the construction of the eighteen camps were gone, and they left written records.

The cage master took out his own bones and sprinkled them on the continent of Praser.The bones sank into the dirt as if they had sunk into water.Centered on Bones, the camp emerges.

Bones guard the camp, but the Reapers themselves are driven by the Cage Lord.People couldn't understand the mentality of the cage master at first, but after years of confrontation, resistance and death, they gradually understood that it was the cage master's pleasure to let the adventurers and the reapers fight each other.

The cage master mercifully set four clocks, and people randomly get a long crisis or a stable life.In this way, eighteen camps, or eighteen small countries, gradually formed on the Praser continent.

The Reapers roam outside the camp, and each has its own sphere of influence.Fan Xing's actions broke the balance, and the Reapers became restless. They moved around, some approached the Arrogant Plain, and some tried to invade the camp.

"Can't the cage master control the Reapers?" Liu Yingnian asked, "Why can he let the Reapers invade the camp?"

"Reapers occasionally lose control." Old Hu said, "Of course, this is rare. After all, they are all dead and will no longer be conscious. Now it seems that the control of the bones may be gradually disappearing."

Everyone looked at each other.

On the one hand, the bones are gradually losing control, and on the other hand, the reapers are becoming restless due to the imbalance in the number.

"When the bones fail completely, it will be time for the Reapers to start killing." Old Hu said.

Fan Xing was just silent, and suddenly asked: "It's true that none of you have seen the cage master?"

"Never." Lao Hu and Xie Bai made eye contact, and both of them were very sure, "The only thing we can confirm is that this cage master is very special, it seems...not human."

After a brief silence, Ji Chunyue said: "Camp Melody needs someone who can kill the Reapers quickly and in large numbers."

Lao Hu nodded: "This is exactly the purpose of my trip."

He looked at Fan Xing deeply, and said in a low voice: "Young man, you don't want to tell us how to kill the Reaper, it's okay, I won't ask again, you can keep this secret. I came here to ask you to help melody People, clear the Reapers around the camp."

Lao Hu stayed in the restaurant.

Fan Xing didn't immediately agree to his request, Lao Hu gave him time to think about it.

Wen Feng and him came all the way from the Melody Camp, and met three Reapers on the way, but fortunately, there were no surprises.Now is the season for the reapers to be active, Yu Gan cautiously suspected that if he didn't get Fan Xing's help, Old Hu might not want to take any more risks and just live in the camp and never left.

Liu Yingnian disagreed: "A person is a leader after all, so he won't be so irresponsible."

Jiang smiled: "Do you worship him?"

"Worship, worship?" Liu Yingnian was puzzled, "Where did this start? I think a leader like him might know a lot of secrets about 'birdcages' and 'gaps'. I really want to have a good chat with him." .” He copied out his little notebook.

Jiang Xiao's face was gloomy: "You might as well ask Xie Bai."

Liu Yingnian: "That won't work. Xie Bai is Yu Zhou's guy, and he's not polite to Fan Xing. Rounding it up, he's rude to us."

He glanced at Fan Xing, wanting to see Fan Xing's reaction.Anyone can tell that Fan Xing doesn't like Xie Bai. Every time Xie Bai is mentioned in the small team, Fan Xing is always sneering and sarcastic, but Fan Xing has no reaction this day.

They were gathering in Yu Zhou's small room.Fan Xing sat on the window sill, with his long legs stretched out, his hands resting on the window sill, his back to the room.The short hair was blown up slightly by the wind, and Yugan muttered: "The Yu family also wants such a beautiful back of the head."

Fan Xing finally turned around: "An Liu."

Yugan: "Hey."

Fan Xing: "Didn't you realize that there are bones in the ground?"

Yugan: "Didn't you also notice it?"

One person and one fish stare at each other.

"What happened to the bones?" Liu Yingnian was puzzled.

Xu Qingyuan: "Are you stupid? The bones are right under our feet, maybe the cage master already knew that Fan Xing and An Liu were here."

The reason why Fan Xing killed the Reaper regardless of the danger was to protect himself and An Liu's whereabouts.In this way, what you do is actually useless.

"But your mother hasn't appeared yet." Xu Qingyuan said, "Maybe the cage owner can't detect the origin of the adventurer through his own bones. You left the 'gap' once, cut off the whip thread on your body, and the dried fish was like bones. The Lord does not know your identities."

Yu Zhou: "Another possibility, even if the cage owner knew about it, he didn't intend to tell his mother."

Fan Xing jumped back into the room: "An Liu, come out with me, let's find the location of the bones."

In order to prevent Lao Hu from catching him asking questions, Fan Xing slipped out the back door with the dried fish.Yu Zhou and Liu Yingnian went out to continue looking for a place to live, and Xu Qingyuan and Jiang Xiao were left in the restaurant.

In the dining room on the first floor, Lao Hu was talking with people.He hasn't been here for a long time, so naturally there are many things to talk about, so he whispered and laughed loudly, which was very lively.

Xu Qingyuan asked for wine, and when he returned to his seat, Jiang Xiao had already disappeared.

He looked around and found Jiang Xiao beside Lao Hu.

Jiang Xiao sat very close to Hu, with his elbows resting on the table, listening intently to what Hu had to say.

She is the youngest adventurer in the restaurant, she is sixteen or seventeen years old, and she often follows Ji Chunyue.Everyone in the camp knew that she had a good relationship with Ji Chunyue, and Ji Chunyue treated her like a daughter, and everyone called her "Smile" along with Ji Chunyue.

Such a little girl, with a curious and yearning face, was listening to Lao Hu talking about the adventures along the way.

She seems to have 12 points of interest, closely following every sentence, opening her eyes and clenching her fists at critical points, and rejoicing at the witty responses of Lao Hu and Wen Feng at critical points.When Old Hu said the key to coping with it, she lost no time in asking: "Is this okay?"

Lao Hu was happy to answer her questions.Her curiosity is the narrator's stimulant.

Jiang Xiao became the lively and bright color among these people.People joked with her, teasing her that the little girl's body is weak, and she must not be able to run fast when she meets a reaper. Jiang Xiao stood up very unhappy, and ran and jumped a few times: "I used to run a lot."

Lao Hu looked at her with a smile in his eyes.She immediately pressed Lao Hu's hand: "Old Hu, talk a little more!"

Everyone laughed: "You also call 'Old Hu'?"

Jiang Xiao was embarrassed: "Ah? Then, what's that called?"

Old Hu Hun didn't care: "It's okay, you call."

Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, happily continued to ask questions.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is really fun and the atmosphere is warm.

Xu Qingyuan drank slowly, seeing all Jiang Xiao's actions in his eyes.

Lao Hu went to look for Xie Bai, and when he left the restaurant, Jiang Xiao got up immediately.The men still want to keep Jiang Xiao to continue chatting, Jiang Xiao: "You guys are boring."

"You just listen to Lao Hu!" They booed, "Oh!"

Jiang Xiao turned and walked towards Xu Qingyuan, the excitement and curiosity on the girl's face were swept away, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a gloomy and dark color, which made people's hair jump.

Holding the wine glass, Xu Qingyuan laughed silently.

Jiang smiled: "Why are you crazy?"

"That person..." Xu Qingyuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Is it Hu Weiyi?"

He was stabbed severely by Jiang Xiao's knife-like eyes.But this small knife stabbing didn't hurt Xu Qingyuan, on the contrary, it made Xu Qingyuan laugh out loud: "God!" He patted the table and let out a long laugh, as if Jiang Xiao had said something terrible, spilled the wine glass, and even shed tears come out.

Jiang Xiao stood up, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Xu Qingyuan extremely quickly.

"Xiaoxiao, why bother." Xu Qingyuan called her "Xiaoxiao" for the first time, "You are not disgusting, I am disgusting."

Jiang Xiao gritted his teeth and whispered, "Leave me alone!"

"Let me help you." There was a bit of sincerity in the eyes under the brim of the hat.

Jiang Xiao was dragged back to his seat by him.Xu Qingyuan approached, very low, speaking like a snake.

"I'll help you deal with him. I'll make sure it's clean and tidy, and you won't have to worry about after-sales." He flicked his tongue between his teeth, and the words were barely audible, "It's rare to do charity, and I won't charge you money."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Do you still remember that Jiang Xiao suspected that Xu Qingyuan had done something invisible, so he kept hiding his identity and refused to say his name~

No spoilers: soon you will be able to see half of Fan Xing's real body!

---

The lemon chicken feet have been eaten, and the dried fish is still unsatisfactory: what else can I eat.

Xu Qingyuan clapped his hands: drink!

The dried fish is hungry: yes, drink!

Xu Qingyuan: Soaking fish bones in wine should be good.

Dried fish: Σ(°△°|||)︴Not...wait? !
