Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 165
Option one 80%, option two 20%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Leave a mark in place and chase the suspicious homeless man]

……

Seeing that beggar-like eccentric running towards the depression, Zheng Zhuo didn't hesitate any longer.

If you let it go here, you won't find it in a while!

He jumped up, picked up the double hooks on the ground and chased outside.

The valley is cold and humid, and ventilation is inconvenient.Even Zheng Zhuo, who has already achieved a small degree of [Taiqing Gangqi], ran with all his strength, but felt it was difficult to breathe.This strange man was thin and small, but he ran fast, Zheng Zhuo quickened his pace, and for a while, it was difficult to catch up.

"(How did he run so fast?)" The more Zheng Zhuo pursued, the more he became suspicious, "(Is this beggar also a Lianjiazi?)"

With a thought, he used that [identification] to check.

……

【anonymous】

[Internal Strength: None]

[External Kungfu: Flowing Cloud Kungfu]

[Movement: Light Smoke Step]

[Weapon: None]

[Qimen: None]

……

Have it.

Sure enough, the nameless beggar has some secrets.He looks rough, but his figure is extremely agile.I saw him pointing his toes to the ground, his steps were flying like flying, and what he stepped out was exactly that [Smoke Step].

Zheng Zhuo didn't know any subtle lightness kung fu, so he had to use [Taiqing Gang Qi] to chase after him with all his strength.Seeing the beggar running faster and faster, he knew in his heart that he would have to chase him far away, so he took out a small piece of dry food from his inner bag and broke it up, and scattered them on the ground at intervals.

He is only free to use this method to mark.

"(I hope Xiang Renjie can find out...!)"

Zheng Zhuo gritted his teeth and followed the nameless beggar with all his strength.

……

In this way, the two ran towards the depression one after the other.Zheng Zhuo tried his best and finally did not lose track.

The beggar came to the thorny depression first.He stopped, with a look of fear on his face.

He was also blocked!

Zheng Zhuo felt relieved.

He just [identified] learned that this beggar only knows external skills and light skills, and has no attack methods.Now being blocked, I will definitely be able to catch this person.

"it is good!"

He quickened his pace, seeing that he was finally about to catch up.

However, when the beggar saw Zheng Zhuo approaching, he got anxious and ran towards the thorn bush!
what! ?

Zheng Zhuo rushed over and saw that the thorns were separated into a large piece by the beggar.

However, you can still reach it with your hand—!
How can you let it go here?

Zheng Zhuo jumped forward and followed the beggar closely.

He had the experience of following Xiang Renjie through the thorns before, and he knew that at this time, it was the most appropriate to stand close to the person who opened the way-although the body would be scratched, the damage suffered was acceptable within range.

Also, the trailblazers go very slowly.

Definitely a catch here!

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhuo jumped into the thorn bushes.

"--hiss--!"

Old wounds are not healed, and new wounds are added.Zheng Zhuo grinned from being stabbed.

But now was the closest he could get to the beggar.

He reached out to grab the beggar.

strange?
His [small grasping hand] rested on the beggar's shoulder, but only brushed against the corner of his clothes.

The distance is a little bit short.

"Alas!"

The beggar was greatly frightened and made an indistinct cry.He squeezed forward again, and fled into the depths of the bushes.

Zheng Zhuo followed naturally.

They just escaped, caught, and moved forward for a long time.

"...Hiss...haha...haha...stop..."

More and more thorns pierced into Zheng Zhuo's body.

Zheng Zhuo felt unbearable pain all over his body, but what was even more strange was that he noticed something was wrong.

The beggar was not hurt.

He showed the appearance of "it hurts, it hurts". After walking for so long, Zheng Zhuo didn't see him bleeding.

Even, he is still keeping distance from Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo collected himself and looked carefully.

He sensed it.That strange beggar, ah, ah, never speaks, but his breathing rate is extremely stable.

Inhale long and short, short and long.With the frequency of his breathing, he was exercising a strange skill, which made his skin extremely soft.Different from Xiang Renjie's "golden bell jar" that can break the skin into thorns, the unknown beggar's kung fu makes the skin extremely soft, but as tough as tanned leather.

The thorns pierced the body for several inches, but none of them could pierce the skin.

The external kung fu he uses is exactly that [Liuyun Kungfu].

Zheng Zhuo secretly yelled "Oops", and said in his heart: "(I don't know! I also know that the world's external kung fu is the same way, think about it carefully how can such a thing happen? This [Liuyun Kungfu] and [Jin The bell jar] is far away and cannot lead people behind! Now I am trapped!)”

When Zheng Zhuo first saw the person in front of him, he was anxious to arrest him and didn't think too much.This time of enlightenment, he has gone too far into the thorn bushes.Seeing that the strange beggar was still able to come and go freely, but he was stuck in the thorns, unable to move.

It was getting dark, and there was no movement around.I didn't hear any sound of Xiang Renjie nearby.

The strange beggar walked farther and farther among the thorns.

"Hey! Hey! Don't go! Don't go!"

Zheng Zhuo couldn't care less!By the time I noticed, he was already bleeding profusely.

"Don't go! Wait! Come back! I'm going to die!"

he shouted.

He originally thought that if Xiang Renjie was nearby, he would know something was wrong when he heard this voice, and would come to rescue him.

However, Zheng Zhuo didn't expect that the beggar turned around.

Eh?
Doesn't appear to have any intention of murdering himself.

Zheng Zhuo felt a little relieved, and shouted: "Yes, yes, come here again."

However, blame beggars are still vigilant.Presumably it was because Zheng Zhuo had been chasing him viciously before, but he only watched from a distance, scurrying around, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I don't know if he was originally dumb, or he couldn't speak when practicing the [Liuyun Kungfu].

"(Damn.)"

Zheng Zhuo shouted until his mouth was dry, but the beggar still refused to approach.

"(That's all! I still have the last resort.)"

Zheng Zhuo opened the panel and started calling for people.

"Fu Xi? Fu Xi—"

"Hey?"

Yes.Great.

"Hey! I need help!"

"Hey...it's not that I'm not busy—"

"Busy, busy! Lives are at stake!"

"Why is life at stake again after a while? All right, let me see..."

"..."

"Ah, there is no one around you. Then I can't use this ability."

"what?"

Isn't there a person in front of you?Just that weird beggar?Zheng Zhuo was shocked.

"I forgot to mention it last time. My ability can only be used on unconscious [monsters]. Of course, other warriors in [Martial Arts World] also seem to be defined as monsters."

"Eh."

That is to say...

"There is no unconscious thing near you. Try to persevere? There will always be a way. Bye."

"and many more--"

No response.

"..."

Zheng Zhuo turned off the panel.It was getting dark.In the night wind, only the thorns piercing into his body gave him a real feeling, taking away his blood and body temperature.

what?
Zheng Zhuo suddenly had a sense of crisis.

Although it doesn't look too dangerous...but he seems to be really dying now.

"..."

Not far away, the strange beggar was still staring at him.

In other words, when he entered [Martial Arts World], he had seen a panel that blamed beggars.At that time, it seemed that he had handwritten remnants of [Gui Yi Jing].I don't know if there are any?If so, can you learn to escape danger now?
Xiang Renjie didn't know where he went.But it was dark now, and if he could make some lighting or a loud noise, he should be able to spot himself easily.Moreover, if he can come, he can also subdue the strange beggar by the way.

And Fu Xi...

The biggest unreliable factor.But it is also the factor with the highest upper limit.

Can you work harder?
It was getting late, if the beggar or Xiang Renjie fell asleep later, Fu Xi could control them, right?
