Chapter 77 Time-Limited Mission: Capture the Fugitive
Xishui Town was once a famous tourist attraction near Songcheng, so there are many retro-style inns in the town. Following the location sent to him by Tang Yue, Jiang Han found the retro-style inn called "Youjian Inn". On the second floor, Jiang Han saw the graceful figure.
Tang Yue sat by the window, quietly sipping her tea. Her proud breasts and round, pert buttocks attracted countless glances.
"Ahem," Jiang Han coughed lightly, walked up to Tang Yue, and said, "Teacher Tang Yue, you are as beautiful and attractive as ever."
Tang Yue turned to look at Jiang Han who was walking over, her bright eyes still carrying a hint of charm, and said lightly, "Sit down."
"You saw the situation here when you came, right? This used to be a small water town with abundant water resources, but recently the water resources have inexplicably dried up. I came here to investigate this matter. According to my speculation, the cause of the water resource depletion here is a fire-type spirit seed. A mage named Chao He has his eye on this fire-type spirit seed. He is wicked, and he has killed no fewer mages than demons," Tang Yue said earnestly.
"Oh dear, Teacher Tang Yue, you can't do this to your students! Why did you call me here to hunt down such a vicious magician? I'm just a student who hasn't graduated for very long!" Jiang Han's face showed a scared expression.
Are you afraid of those vicious magicians? Back then, who killed several black-robed priests of the Black Vatican? Even the blue-robed deacon died at your hands. Are you afraid?
Tang Yue glanced disdainfully at the unserious student and said indifferently, "I didn't originally plan to call you here, but the mid-level lightning mage sent from above had something come up and couldn't make it, so I had no choice but to call you here to help."
"What's in it for me? I wouldn't do it if there wasn't something in it for me," Jiang Han said with a grin.
"The fire-type spirit seed you obtained is yours," Tang Yue said after thinking for a moment.
Jiang Han shook his index finger and said, "You think you can bribe me with just a fire-type spirit seed? That's not enough. If Teacher Tang Yue could kiss me, I'd agree to help you with this favor. How about it?"
Jiang Han was no longer satisfied with just teasing Tang Yue, this alluring beauty. How could he possibly pass up such an opportunity to make demands? Of course, he would go with the flow and make his own demands. Xin Xia's lips were soft and slightly sweet. He wondered what Tang Yue's tempting red lips tasted like.
"You brat, is this how you treat your teacher?" Tang Yue said angrily.
"Hey, don't be angry. You're making it sound like I'm kicking someone when they're down," Jiang Han said, annoyed.
Tang Yue glared at Jiang Han with her charming eyes, cursing inwardly, "You brat, you've already set your sights on me, and you still say you're not kicking me when I'm down."
"There's only one fire-type spirit seed. Take it or leave it. If you're not going, get lost and stop getting in my way," Tang Yue said coldly.
Just as Jiang Han was hesitating about whether to compromise, Xiao Shi suddenly appeared, circled around in front of Jiang Han twice, and said with a grin: "Host, a limited-time mission is now being issued. The mission is to help Tang Yue kill or capture the fugitive Chao He. The reward is the Fire Spirit Seed Dragon Flame (fire element enhancement 2.5 times) and 2000 system points."
Tang Yue was about to get up and leave, ignoring this annoying brat Jiang Han, but Jiang Han stopped her just as she stood up. Jiang Han smiled and said, "It's not convenient for you to investigate Chao He with your identity. I'll go with him."
Across from the inn, a man wearing a casual hat and a black mask walked out. After checking that there were no suspicious people around the inn, he dared to walk in the direction of his target. He was Tang Yue's target this time - Chao He.
As Chao He walked ahead, he would glance back every now and then, afraid that someone was following him. What he didn't know was that Jiang Han had been following him ever since he left the inn. In order to avoid being tracked, Jiang Han even spent 888 system points from the system shop to buy a Shadow Escape Talisman. The Shadow Escape Talisman allows one to use low-level shadow magic for one hour.
Along the way, there were barren, dry fields everywhere. The crops planted by the farmers had long since died from drought. Under the sunshade by the roadside, several old farmers sighed and lamented, looking at the withered crops, they were almost driven to despair.
"Sir, do you remember what this place was like?" Chao He stopped in front of the sunshade and asked politely.
An old farmer sitting under a sunshade, wearing a dirty vest and smoking a pipe, glanced at Chao He and replied, "Who knows? I only remember about ten days ago, the stream disappeared as if by magic, and the crops in the fields all died of drought." As he finished speaking, the old farmer took another puff of his pipe, looking worried.
"Thank you, I'll go check upstream then." Chao He thanked him and headed upstream.
Seeing that Chaohe was going upstream, an old farmer advised him, "Hey, young man, I advise you not to go there. I've heard that it's terrifying upstream, the ground is like it's on fire, the temperature is extremely high."
Not long after Chao He left, Jiang Han emerged from behind a large tree and said listlessly, "Staring at Chao He is really boring. By the way, Teacher Tang Yue, where are you? Stop hiding and come out."
"When did you awaken your Shadow element?" Tang Yue asked in confusion as soon as she appeared.
"I didn't awaken any Shadow element, I just used a special Shadow element magical tool. Chao He has already gone far ahead, let's hurry up and catch up," Jiang Han said calmly.
After saying that, Jiang Han turned into a shadow and headed forward, with Tang Yue following behind.
The further upstream you go along the river, the more severe the cracks become. It doesn't look like it's only been dry for ten days; it looks like it's been dry for half a year. The ground is scorched, and it's so hot that you can fry an egg on it when you step on it.
Jiang Han put his hand on Tang Yue's shoulder and said softly, "Teacher Tang Yue, it seems someone is coming."
Tang Yue glanced disdainfully at Jiang Han's hand on her shoulder and said indifferently, "I know. Also, take your hands off my shoulder."
"Oh, I forgot." Jiang Han chuckled and removed his hand from Tang Yue's shoulder. He had to admit that Tang Yue's shoulder was quite comfortable to rest on.
After saying that, the two concealed themselves behind a large tree. The dark aura of shadow filled the surroundings, completely hiding their presence. Perhaps because they were too close, Jiang Han could even smell the alluring fragrance emanating from Tang Yue, and the way they squeezed together, with Tang Yue's voluptuous figure, looked rather ambiguous.
Not long after the two hid, a group of people emerged from the woods, who appeared to be hunter mages based on their attire.
"You have to believe me, there must be a fire-type spirit seed here. Those idiots living there think it's just drought, how ridiculous! You all know how much a fire-type spirit seed can sell for, right? Let's hurry up and pick this fire-type spirit seed before anyone else discovers it, then we'll be rich!" The cowboy-looking man at the front said excitedly.
"Pan Xiong, I hope you're not playing us. We left a bounty here, and if we get nothing, you know what will happen," a man with a scar on his face warned menacingly.
The bespectacled man walking in the middle of the group said, "In my opinion, Pan Xiong's information is probably true. A fire-type spirit seed has indeed appeared here, otherwise it would be impossible for this place to have turned into this horrific state in such a short time."
"In that case, let's put in more effort and locate the fire-type spirit seed as quickly as possible."
"Hahaha, great! We're going to make a fortune this time!"
