Chapter 669
The dark magician was just like everyone else, actually quite relaxed. With the sorcerer here, it was impossible for anyone to approach them without being noticed.
But because he often dealt with poisonous substances, he felt his head becoming more and more dizzy when he drank. The dark magician shuddered suddenly and was sobered up by the alcohol. There was poison in the wind, and it was a colorless and odorless poison that he had never seen before. He screamed in shock.
"Poison? Where did the poison come from? Don't talk nonsense." Someone said with a thick tongue.
"Yes, it's poisonous! Everyone be on guard!" The magician also felt something was wrong after being reminded, and shouted loudly in shock.
But some of the people who were still shaking suddenly fell down with a thud. The golden swordsman who led the team shook the people who fell to the ground one by one, but there was no way to wake them up.
The tree people and dwarves trapped in the cages were huddled together and shivering in despair. At this time, they heard them shouting "Poison" and they couldn't help but feel hopeful. Maybe their tribesmen had come to rescue them. But they were worried that with the magician around, their tribesmen would not be their match and would instead implicate more of their tribesmen.
The golden swordsman drew his sword and the magician used his mental power to sweep the surroundings. At this moment, something unexpected happened again. Black balls were thrown from different positions and exploded in mid-air. The scene was suddenly filled with smoke. The dark magician shouted "poisonous" again, but several people who had just managed to hold on were completely defeated.
You can't avoid inhaling poisons by holding your breath. Once the poisons touch your skin, they will penetrate into your body and it will be too late to prevent them.
"Damn it, where did you come from, little thief? Get out here! Search them all and find the bastard who is hiding his head and tail!" The magician gave orders to other magicians and swordsmen.
"Yes, sir!"
Something was thrown out from the darkness again, from a different position. It was impossible to judge where the enemy was hiding and how many of them there were. These people immediately became alert, but this time, what exploded was not poison, but a disposable blasting magic scroll mixed with a disposable blasting array disk and other magical tools stored in the space. Those who were ordered by the magician to search were caught off guard and were blown up, and screams rang out immediately.
The magician was so angry that he was about to explode, but he did not leave. He stayed beside the cages that held the tree people and dwarves. He knew that the other party attacked their camp just because of these alien races. It didn't matter if other people died. What mattered was that nothing could happen to the goods, and he had to find out the enemy to see who dared to go against them.
It would be best if it were the foreign races, so that they could increase the cargo this time and make up for the losses.
Suddenly he sensed a spatial fluctuation nearby. The magician shuddered, and before he could ask anyone to turn around, he saw a spatial door appear in front of him, and a masked guy walked out of it.
It turned out to be a space magician! Moreover, he was hiding his head and tail and wearing a mask. The magician was furious. He wanted to tear off the guy's mask and attacked the person without saying anything.
It was Yuan Jing who came out of the space gate. He would not wait for the other party to attack him. As soon as Yuan Jing stepped out, he condensed his soul power into a sharp knife and stabbed at the other party fiercely.
The opponent's magic level is much higher than his, and it is not easy to fight in close combat at the moment, which will only delay time for others to return to defend. What he wants is a quick victory, to rescue the captured aliens as soon as possible, catch them off guard, and then leave after rescuing them.
"Ah——" The magician held his head and screamed, his brain seemed to be split in half and the pain was unbearable. Who was it? Could it be a high-level mental magician? That was the most special kind of magician. The instantaneous magic that was about to be cast was also forcibly interrupted.
The magician paused, and Yuan Jing quickly grabbed the cage below, turned around and stepped into the space door that had not yet closed. A swordsman nearby heard the scream and ran back, but he only saw Yuan Jing's back as he entered the space door with the cage, no, there was also a pile of things that the man had thrown casually.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The campsite was shaken violently, and several layers of the ground were blown off by the explosion. The magicians and swordsmen who ran out to chase the enemies hiding in the dark listened to the noise behind them in astonishment. They had no time to turn back, and many of them were injured in the explosion. Even if they wanted to go back to defend, they were powerless.
"Damn it, we were fooled. They fell for their trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. They had people hiding in the dark, and they rescued those aliens while we were away from the camp."
"How could this happen with the Master Magister here?"
There was a violent explosion in the campsite, blowing people and horses to the ground. No one dared to get close. At this time, they thought that the aliens were also blown up. It was impossible to survive an explosion of this magnitude. Who wanted to kill them?
Yuan Jing passed through the space gate and appeared with the cage in a place a little further away from the camp. The explosions there could still be faintly heard from here, but the aliens in the cages were still hugging each other, because this person's breath was clearly that of a human and not one of theirs, and they were afraid that they would fall into a wolf's den again after leaving the tiger's den.
"Brother Yan, you watch them, I'll go take a look." Yuan Jing quickly released Yan Yuansen, believing that these aliens would not think of slaying the dragon and exposing the existence of the black dragon. Just now, they used their wits to rescue people first and kill the enemy later. Now, he wanted to make the final move. He thought that these slave-catching teams should not exist.
The aliens huddled together when suddenly a pitch-black dragon appeared in front of them, startling them again. The black dragon said, "Don't worry, you go ahead. I'll stay here. Be careful. When it's almost time, give me a signal and I'll come over."
"Okay, don't scare them." Yuan Jing reminded them with concern before leaving.
Yan Yuansen snorted to express his displeasure, but those timid aliens really trembled. They were really scared. The dragon clan was a terrifying and powerful existence. Even among their own alien race, there were many legends about the dragon clan. Among the dragon clan, the black dragon was the most evil.
So who is the one who saved them? Can someone who stays with the evil black dragon be a good person?
They were about to cry.
Black Dragon did not want to comfort them, but was alert to the surrounding situation. Just because this place is sparsely populated does not mean that there is no danger. For example, the slave-hunting team just now was successfully ambushed by Yuan Jing because they let their guard down.
Yuan Jing's signal was released soon, and the black dragon happily grabbed the cage with his claws and flapped his wings to fly over there. Flying? Wouldn't he be able to do it with just a few more practices? It was a piece of cake for him. If Yuan Jing hadn't been afraid that his identity would be exposed, he would have wanted to carry Yuan Jing and fly all over the sky long ago.
Yuan Jing stood among a pile of corpses. The place was filled with smoke and poisonous gas. Seeing that the aliens in the cages were all dizzy, some of them fell down directly. Yuan Jing patted his forehead and forgot to give them detoxification pills.
After the black dragon put down the cage, Yuan Jing gave them detoxification pills and said, "A few of them escaped before I came back. They must have space magic scrolls for teleportation. I'll deal with it here and we'll leave right away." They had to be careful not to let those who escaped come back with others to kill them.
"Okay." Black Dragon helped after the meal.
Yuan Jing took away all the space bags and other things on those people. This was also a fortune, and it would be a waste not to take it. Then he threw a few fireballs to burn the corpses. Then Yuan Jing simply climbed onto the back of the black dragon, and flew away with the black dragon still holding the cage in its claws.
Only then did Yuan Jing have time to communicate with the captured aliens, saying, "I apologize for the offense before. I am here to save you. Do you have any way to contact your tribe members? Or we can send you to the place you specify, and you can contact your tribe members to take you back."
"Don't worry, I am much weaker than the slave-hunting team just now. I was able to succeed only by sneak attacks and my space magic. They were careless and underestimated us, so you don't have to worry about me using the same method against you."
There were three tree people in the cage, two women, one man, and a little dwarf girl. Yuan Jing couldn't judge their ages, but compared to their tribesmen, they should be young. The three tree people still looked at them warily and fearfully, especially the black dragon that was holding them and flying. The black dragon was now huge, and its black wings could blow them far away.
The dwarf girl was the smallest but the bravest of the four. Her voice was trembling, but she still mustered up the courage to ask, "You...really don't want to capture us as slaves?"
Yuan Jing laughed: "I am not in the same group with the slave-hunting team, otherwise I wouldn't have killed so many people just now. If they knew my identity, they would definitely put me on their wanted list. You see, I have a black dragon, and I can make a fortune just by walking around the Monster Forest. Why would I bother to capture you aliens and sell them as slaves?"
"I... my name is Anna." The dwarf girl bravely gave her name. The daughter of the tree man chief desperately winked at her, but Anna felt that maybe this was a chance to go home.
Yan Yuansen almost snorted. He couldn't tell whether it was Annie or Anna before, and now another Anna popped up.
"So it's Miss Anna. Have you decided where you want us to put you?"
Anna communicated with the daughter of the tree people chief, and finally Anna reported a location. Yuan Jing didn't worry about whether there might be an ambush there, and flew there with Yan Yuansen according to Anna's instructions.
After arriving at the landing location, Yuan Jing released them from the cage. Under the vigilant gaze of the three tree people, Yuan Jing broke the magic-suppressing circles around their necks. Otherwise, they would have no way to contact their own people, even if they had special means of communication, such as using plants and trees to transmit information.
After breaking it, Yuan Jing led the black dragon back and said with a smile: "Miss Anna, we will leave now. I hope you can reunite with your people smoothly. Be careful in the future and don't fall into the hands of those people again. Also, don't trust humans easily."
"You are not a human yet?" the treeman leader woman said softly.
"Yes, don't trust me too easily. Remember, Miss Anna, I'm leaving." After Yuan Jing said that, he jumped onto the back of the black dragon. The black dragon flapped its wings, and the man and the dragon quickly disappeared from their sight.
