Chapter 8 Vigil
Led by Nangong Qiong and the staff of the Adventurers Guild, the Adventurers team has moved forward steadily. Speaking of which, even in the Giant Worm Continent, insects with fierce individuals and organized and disciplined insects can be regarded as powerful forces that can walk sideways, and they dare to come and cause trouble for adventurers. Faced with the Adventurers team of thousands of people, most of the insects still avoid them. If there are occasional troubles, they can easily solve them.
So the journey is quite stable. We hurry up during the day and take turns to watch every night when we rest. We are adventurers who have been living in the wilderness all year round. We still have this basic quality.
And on this day, Zhao Qiankun was on the list of night watches that were on his turn.
With such a huge team, the night watchmen naturally have to be arranged in various directions. Each point usually has a team of several people, or at least a companion in a large group. After all, it is convenient to cooperate with tacit understanding. However, those who have no team like Zhao Qiankun are really embarrassed when queuing.
At first, Lao Hu proposed to watch the night with him. Although Zhao Qiankun had no mount along the way, he couldn't stop running around with his legs. While chatting everywhere, the whole team basically recognized him, especially the adventurers of Lao Hu's smile team, who became more and more familiar with him, and even recommended him to the captain to join the team.
However, Lao Zhao refused. Lao Hu and his team were on the night shift the day before yesterday, and they were afraid of being too tired. Besides, Zhao Qiankun was confident that he would be foolproof and would not need anyone to take care of him.
In the end, there was no choice but to arrange him as a bachelor on the back of Lao Shanlong.
Because the car on the back of the mountain dragon is the highest and is easily attacked by flying insects, but once it is attacked, the movement is enough to wake everyone up, so it is usually enough to arrange a vigil here.
After knowing this arrangement, Nangong Qiong came to warn Zhao Qiankun not to make small moves because he was close to Murong Wei. Zhao Qiankun was amused and cried. There were more than a thousand people around here and more than twenty people guarding the car. What small moves could he do?
As the sun sets and night falls on Qiongdao Island, all the night watchmen arrive at their posts, and Zhao Qiankun also climbs onto the back of Laoshan Dragon.
At the highest point on the shoulder of the mountain dragon, there is a seat fixed with a rope belt. After all, the mountain dragon is a livestock and requires humans to direct actions. This position is the same as the driver's seat for the driver who is catching a car.
Although the mountain dragon has a long neck, it is not as straight as people imagine. It usually stretches out diagonally when walking, and sitting here does not affect the field of view.
When the night is resting, the driver also climbs into the car. This position is empty and left for the night watchman.
Zhao Qiankun sat on it and stretched his waist, looked up at the starry sky, and slowly relaxed.
He is actually the most suitable for vigil. Even if the skin is dormant, his bones are still sharp-eyed and focused on the movements around him, and did not delay rest at all.
Lao Zhao Qiankun relaxed his body and mind, and the bone veins in his body were slowly circulating, becoming more and more pure...
Soon it was midnight, and Lao Zhao suddenly heard something from behind. It seemed that the door of the car opened and a person walked out.
Did you get up at night? Lao Zhao didn't care. As long as it was not a bug, there would be no threat. Unexpectedly, that guy didn't get off the dragon's back, but quietly came to his back, lowered his head, and faced Lao Zhao with his eyes closed.
"Okay, I'm going to be lazy here!"
A familiar voice came, and Zhao Qiankun opened his eyelids, but it was Murong Wei.
"It is said that from the perspective of the chin, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, she will turn into a pig's head. It turns out that it is true..."
Zhao Qiankun's words were so angry that Murong Wei frowned: "You are the pig's head!"
"I'm not a pig's head!" Zhao Qiankun stood up and sat up: "At most, he's a big pig's hooves!"
Lao Zhao yawned and moved his neck and shoulders: "What, Beauty Murong can't sleep? Are you not used to sleeping in the wild..."
"Who can get used to it!" Murong Wei complained: "It's tired, hot and bumpy. It's so hard to go to the toilet. You can't take a shower. If you live like this for more than ten days, it will smell bad!"
"This is the life of an adventurer!" Zhao Qiankun smiled and said, "Heaven makes bedding and the ground makes beds. Looking at the free and easy, who knows the bitterness behind it?"
"It seems like you have so much experience!" Murong Wei complained: "It's obviously a novice who has just registered for more than a month!"
"Who dares to say I'm a novice?" Old Zhao took out the Crazy Dragon-level badge: "After seeing this, no one believes you say I'm a novice!"
"Yes, yes..." Murong Wei smiled and said, "Zhao's adventurer is talented and heroic! The little woman admires it..."
After a few jokes, Murong Wei suddenly raised her hair with restraint: "What happened before... Thank you..."
"What?" Lao Zhao didn't react.
"That's what helped me get out..." Murong Wei sighed: "Nangong Qiong and I are childhood sweethearts. I always treat him as my younger brother until he confessed to me later... Others are not bad, they are just a little immature and too self-centered... I rejected him, but he thought I was playing hard to get, and pursued me crazy... Speaking of which, I would apply to work here, and I wanted to get rid of him and calm him down... But I didn't expect him to chase him here. Thanks to you, he has not harassed me again these days..."
"This..." Zhao Qiankun laughed: "Then do you think I am mature? Do you think I am self-righteous?"
This question made Murong Wei stunned for a moment. She thought about it slightly and replied seriously: "You... to be honest, I don't think I understand you very much... You give me a profound feeling, as if it's not a person, but a more mysterious existence..."
Zhao Qiankun laughed: "You think I am mysterious because you don't know me yet, so you think everything I do has a deep meaning... But you know that Nangong Qiong too much! So everything he does makes you feel that it's no big deal, and naturally you lack interest..."
Murong Wei tilted her head: "You mean, I think he is childish because I am too familiar with him?"
"No, he is really tender..." Zhao Qiankun smiled, "But I am not much mature either. Men are all teenagers in their bones, otherwise I wouldn't have teased him..."
"Okay!" Murong Wei pouted: "So you bet on my bet, just teasing him? You didn't take me seriously at all!"
