Chapter 121 The Brotherhood's Trail
Su Rui and Feng Lixi wandered around Xuanwu City two or three times, until Su Rui felt his legs were getting thin from walking so much, but they still couldn't find any trace of the dungeon.
"This girl just tricked me into coming here for a stroll, didn't she?" Su Rui muttered to himself.
In fact, Feng Lixi was also hesitating at this moment. They had already passed the dungeon entrance twice, but the dungeon was still hidden and needed to be activated by the players. So it was not so easy to find if they were just passing by.
Although Feng Lixi knew exactly where the dungeon was, she needed to find a reasonable excuse to hint at it to Su Rui. Otherwise, if she directly led Su Rui into the dungeon, she wouldn't be able to explain to him why she knew so much about the game.
Because Feng Lixi felt that the relationship between the two of them was not strong enough at the moment, and Su Rui might not be able to accept her true identity yet, she did not dare to reveal any clues that would arouse Su Rui's suspicion.
When Su Rui and Feng Lixi had walked around for the fourth time, Boss Su simply couldn't take it anymore.
"Xiao Xi, why don't we take a break..." Su Rui said with a pained expression.
“Uh…” Feng Lixi also felt that the two of them had wasted too much time in the city, so after a moment of hesitation, she said to Su Rui, “Okay, let’s find a place to rest for a while!”
"Phew..." Su Rui let out a long breath, then asked, "So where are we going?"
“Let’s go to the Garden District!” Feng Lixi said. Xuanwu City is divided into five districts. The central district is the Plaza District, the northeast corner is the Garden District, the northwest corner is the Military District, the southeast corner is the Magic District, and the southwest corner is the Warrior District.
At this moment, Feng Lixi was heading to the garden area in the northeast corner. According to the game's description, this was the residential area for the city's wealthy, so there were relatively few houses, and the area was full of greenery and flower beds.
Furthermore, a small river flows through the city in the garden area, where there is a small dock, and there are also many defensive facilities at the border with the military area.
Upon arriving at the garden area, Su Rui originally thought Feng Lixi was going to look at the flowers or play in the water at the dock, but unexpectedly, the girl actually headed towards the border between the garden area and the military area.
"Xiao Xi, what's there to see over there?" Su Rui asked curiously.
“There’s a giant crossbow over there, it’s really impressive!” Feng Lixi said.
"Giant crossbow? Let's go take a look!" Su Rui's interest was piqued; as a man, he was naturally interested in such a thing.
Soon, Su Rui and his companion arrived near the giant crossbow, a massive wooden ballista with a bow arm four meters long and bolts thicker than an adult man's waist!
"Wow, that's amazing! If this thing were launched, even a dragon would be shot down, right?" Su Rui muttered to himself. Because the background of "Source" is based on Western fantasy, the dragon here is of course a large winged lizard, not the five-clawed golden dragon of Han Chinese legend.
After admiring the giant crossbow for a while, the two strolled towards the dock. As they passed a row of houses, Feng Lixi casually glanced at them.
"Huh?" Feng Lixi exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Su Rui asked, turning around.
“Brother Rui, look!” Feng Lixi said, pointing to a wall in the distance.
"Hmm?!" Su Rui looked intently and saw a small mark carved in an inconspicuous place at the bottom of the wall. If Feng Lixi hadn't shown it to him, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
The mark looked like it had been engraved for a long time and was even a little blurry, but upon closer inspection, Su Rui vaguely felt that he had seen the mark somewhere before.
"I feel like I've seen this mark somewhere before!" Su Rui muttered to himself.
"I think I've seen it before, in... in Donghai Town!" Feng Lixi reminded him in time.
"That's right! I remember now! The Moraka Brotherhood!" Su Rui exclaimed, slapping his thigh.
"Why are there Brotherhood symbols here?" Feng Lixi deliberately led Su Rui astray.
"Yeah, could there be something shady going on here?" Su Rui suddenly became excited. They might have discovered a hidden plot, and such hidden plots often mean big gains!
"Should we go over and take a look?" Feng Lixi asked.
"Go! Why don't we go!" Su Rui pulled Feng Lixi to the vicinity of the wall.
“Brother Rui, look here!” Feng Lixi exclaimed, pointing to a brick beneath the Moraka Brotherhood symbol.
"Huh?!" Su Rui looked and saw a small arrow engraved on the brick.
"Let's go! This way!" Su Rui led Feng Lixi eastward along his shoulder.
The two quickly circled around the row of houses, and then on another wall, Su Rui and Feng Lixi found the Moraka Brotherhood's mark and arrow again.
Following the markings and arrows, the two wandered through the corners of the garden area until they finally arrived at the entrance of the mobile villa.
“This is it!” Su Rui nodded. In a corner on one side of the villa’s gate, there was a very well hidden Moraka Brotherhood symbol.
"Brother Rui, what are we going to do next?" Feng Lixi asked.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Su Rui saw that the villa's door was ajar, so he pushed it open and went inside.
"Woof woof woof..." Not long after entering the gate, the sound of barking came from ahead, and at the same time, a yellow and black wolfhound rushed towards Su Rui.
恶犬
Rating: 15
Health: 100%
This dog was a red-named monster, and its level wasn't particularly high. As it charged at Su Rui, Su Rui immediately cast a Corruption spell on it, and then began to cast Shadow Bolt while retreating!
-92
-92
-603!
The damage numbers for Corruption and Shadow Bolt floated above the hound's head, and at the same time, the hound pounced on Su Rui.
"Woof!" With a bark, the vicious dog began to attack Su Rui.
-88!
The vicious dog was quite powerful, but Su Rui also drew his dagger at this moment.
-80!
-104!
Su Rui's mixed damage was still effective. This vicious dog was a level 15 normal monster with about 1,400 to 1,500 HP. Although beast monsters had more HP, the difference wasn't too great.
After Boss Su's attack, the vicious dog's health was less than a third of its original value. The effects of the Corruption spell were still active, and with Su Rui's mixed melee damage, the vicious dog was killed in two seconds.
"Ding! You have killed the vicious dog and gained 24 experience points!"
"Let's go!" After killing the vicious dog, Su Rui led Feng Lixi into the villa.
Games are just games. In real life, if you broke into someone's house and killed their dog, the owner would have come out to settle the score with you long ago. But in games, as long as you don't enter a monster's line of sight, you won't be detected by the monster.
