National Games: Zhongli at the beginning, the sense of security is full

After hearing what the person who was suspected of being stuck to the tree said, Jiang Yuan automatically changed the sentence into one sentence in his heart -

"Here comes the villain who helps us."

Even at that moment, his eyes seemed to blur for a moment, and he saw the exclamation mark flashing over the other person's head.

I just don’t know what color it is.

But soon, he denied this feeling in his heart.

Because the other party may not be able to give him the task reward he wants.

This is a trial. After the trial is over, it is the Trial Tower that distributes trial rewards to him.

No matter what Jiang Yuan thought in his heart, the expression of the strange race of people who were watching them with vigilance or curiosity became much more friendly after the man hanging on the tree said those words.

The middle-aged and elderly man with a pair of butterfly wings obviously had a special status among the group of "people" in front of him, and many eyes were cast on the former with questioning eyes.

The man had a smile on his face, and his scales and wings flashed behind him, leading him to the ground and standing at the front, closest to Jiang Yuan and the other three.

"Hello."

Jiang Yuan added to him in his heart: Hello, you are the workers who are helping us.

He also raised a friendly, diplomatic smile: "Hello, is there anything we can help with?"

To make a long story short, there is nothing to communicate, just let them quickly serve as tools and complete the trial, and that's it, no need to know any other information.

Jiang Yuan's eyes did not move, and he saw the continuous rain from the corner of his eye.

He didn't hate water, but the rain that kept falling and affected activities was quite troublesome.

Especially when there is a dark sky, it is easy for people to feel bad.

The occasional bug cropping up on the way to here wouldn't be very pleasant.

The opponent's intention to use him as a tool is even more obvious, isn't it?

The person opposite obviously didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be so straightforward, calm and even willing to be a tool, and his eyes widened slightly.

"To be honest, I came here for a purpose. The initial purpose is probably to help you."

Jiang Yuan spread his hands. Anyway, he would definitely not be willing to help those bugs.

"So, if you need me to do anything, just ask me directly."

The gray-haired old man was stunned. He pondered for a moment and suddenly turned to look at the man clinging to the tree.

"I'm old, I leave it to you."

"……All right."

The man was reluctant, but nodded obediently.

So the old man nodded with satisfaction, flapped his wings, turned around and flew into the sky, his figure disappearing in the canopy of the trees.

The man sighed and put his arms back to support the tree trunk. Judging from his movements, he was trying to break away from the tree trunk.

When the opponent's body broke away from the tree trunk, Jiang Yuan saw tiny light brown tentacles sprouting from his shoulders.

The tentacles were only a little thicker than a hair, and their color almost blended in with the tree trunk behind them. If there weren't too many of them and they were swaying in the air, it would be difficult for Jiang Yuan to spot them.

The man frowned, raised his hands and touched his shoulders respectively, pushed the tentacles behind him, then dropped to the ground and looked up.

The antennae-shaped hair on his head was wilted and hanging on his head, blending in with the other hair. He nodded lazily to Jiang Yuan: "I won't say more, just take what you need."

"For the continuation of the clan, we need you to kill several insect kings in this world and try to bring their bodies back."

"Do you know what our purpose is?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"perhaps?"

The man glanced at Jiang Yuan, his expression calm and rational.

"Where is the Insect King? How many are there in total?"

"You will know that direction when you see it. Bring that one back first and I will tell you the others."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan turned around and left without asking any further questions.

Without saying a word, Thunder Hammer followed Jiang Yuan, making sure that the umbrella in his hand could cover Jiang Yuan's body.

Paimon looked at the man who was talking to Jiang Yuan in confusion, trembled at the man's emotionless eyes, and hurriedly followed Jiang Yuan.

Behind them, the man stepped back, and his tentacles spread to the trunk of the tree, bringing him back to the trunk again, hiding his figure.

Before hiding, he waved his hand to the other "people" who didn't speak: "It's okay, you can go back."

Those "people" suddenly lost all expressions, nodded blankly, and returned to their tree holes in different ways after being controlled.

The three people with their backs facing each other were not satisfied with the forward speed and had no intention of turning around. Naturally, they could not see this scene.

Even though he couldn't see what was happening behind him, Paimon's confusion still lingered in his heart.

When she was with Jiang Yuan, she always wrote a essay when she had doubts, and this time was no exception.

"Jiang Yuan, what happened? Why did you agree to help them?"

Jiang Yuan kept walking, heading in the direction pointed by the man. Hearing this, he looked up at Paimon: "Don't you see?"

"what?"

"Isn't that an NPC who releases tasks?" Jiang Yuan said easily, "The tasks released do not require any thinking, how nice!"

"..." Paimeng thought about Jiang Yuan's words for a long time and suddenly realized, "Ah! That's indeed the case!"

"Hey, does that mean that if we continue to follow the tasks issued by the NPC, we will be able to pass the trial?"

"I'm not sure about that." Jiang Yuan naturally looked away and fell on the grass blades in front of him.

The blades of grass swayed, something was hiding underneath.

"Wait, you're not sure?! Then why are you doing this!" Pamon's eyes widened.

"That man may have guessed our purpose." Jiang Yuan grasped the one-handed sword Sword of Humidity. With a flash of sword light, a blade of grass in front of him was divided into pieces together with the insects hidden in the blades of grass that were about to escape. Two halves.

"Anyway, we were originally thinking of getting rid of all the bugs in this world if we couldn't find a way to clear the level. Now we'll catch the bug king and kill him first, just so we can see what happens."

"So it is."

Paimon felt that what Jiang Yuan said made sense.

"I thought you were used to being a laborer and would help others without even saying a word!"

"Compared to me, you who are tempted to ask me to run errands just by mentioning the reward, aren't you more likely to do so?"

Jiang Yuan retorted.

"Although no matter who agrees to help, I will be the one who takes action in the end. Oh, and now there is also Thunder Hammer."

He couldn't help but pat the thunder hammer.

"Thank you for your hard work, Thunder Hammer, for always running errands with me."

"It's not hard, this is of my own free will."

Thunder Hammer's reply was brief.

Voluntarily left Teyvat and came here to help? Jiang Yuan silently remembered Thunder Hammer's reply, feeling that there was some hidden content in this sentence.

"Humph!"

Pamon hummed in warning.

"Oh, okay, and my cute and reliable little guide, thank you for your hard work too."
