Chapter 109
Wu Jian and Lance Heno stood on the wall of the City of Words, watching the spaceship disappear into the sky.
At the same time, they also have to say goodbye to this world.
After all, they are not from this time and space, and they still have many tasks to complete.
Half a day later.
They came to Death Valley.
The wizarding continent, where there is no human life, is not only dead silent but also a bit desolate.
Death Valley is different. The monsters here are just like usual, and the law of survival of the food chain is followed in an orderly manner.
Even if the Dark Star invades, the monsters here will not necessarily become extinct.
The law of the jungle is that the strong survive and the weak are not worthy of living here.
Wu Jian encountered the unicorn again. He was standing on a cliff, staring at the ominous clouds floating in the distance.
"The disaster is about to begin."
The giant unicorn nodded to Wu Jian and the others in the distance, then burrowed into the ground and began to fall asleep.
Without the unicorn's guard, a cold wind blew from the depths of Death Valley.
Lance Heno calmly led Wu Jian into the Death Valley, where a dark and bottomless crack appeared.
Occasionally, a strange halo flashed around the crack, and Lance Heno jumped directly into it with Wu Jian.
The magical thing is that after Wu Jian and the others jumped in, the crack closed again, fitting perfectly without any cracks at all.
Wu Jian, who jumped into the crack, felt as if he was rolling around in a washing machine running at hundreds of times the speed. Strange things flashed before his eyes, making him dizzy and unable to see clearly.
It wasn't until he was held in someone's arms that a cool fragrance completely relaxed his tense nerves.
In this dangerous situation, Wu Jian was still thinking wildly, if they went to other time and space, would they keep looping in time and space?
Just then, he felt wind blowing past his ears.
He lifted his eyelids to take a look at the situation outside, and his eyes suddenly widened. He and Lance Heno fell vertically into a stream somewhere.
Crash!
There was a splash of water, and the little dragon cub became a drowned dragon. It was carried to the shore by Lance Heno, all wet.
Lance Heno lit a fire, took out a small Rubik's Cube and turned it into a small house, and changed Wu Jian into clean clothes. The chilly feeling disappeared immediately, and only a hint of warmth came from the clothes.
"Comfortable." Wu Jian sighed while lying on the bed
One sentence.
He rolled around on the bed several times, his silver hair all blown up, before he reluctantly got up.
"Brother He, do you want to dry your hair...?"
Lance Heno's hair had already dried by now, and it hung down naturally in a slightly fluffy manner, covering his sharp golden eyes.
Hearing Wu Jian's words, Lance Heno turned his head to look in Wu Jian's direction and found that he was holding a clean towel in his hand. He subconsciously understood what Wu Jian wanted to do and smiled at him.
"Give it to me."
Lance Heno took the towel from Wu Jian, casually draped it over his shoulder, and fiddled with the food in the pot.
At this time, the golden giant beast also appeared in front of Wu Jian.
Wu Jian's eyes lit up, and he pounced towards the golden beast, rubbing its fluffy fur with joy on his face.
"Xiao Jinjin, I miss you so much!"
The golden beast widened its eyes and snorted in disgust.
It didn't like this name, but Wu Jian insisted on calling it this name, and the golden beast had no way to refuse.
Wu Jian took Xiao Jinjin for a walk around and found that this was just a pure primeval forest. There was no human habitation within a hundred miles, and this was not the Death Valley they were familiar with. The space-time rift should have brought them back to the real training ground.
When entering the City of Words before, Wu Jian had discovered that the map was sealed. Now that it can be opened, it just proves that his guess was correct.
The golden giant beast was very well-behaved. When Wu Jian walked, it stayed with him almost every step of the way, rubbing against his trouser legs from time to time.
Originally his clothes were made of pure cotton, but they became uncomfortable after wearing for a long time, so Lance Heno replaced them with royal fabrics from the Canaanite civilization, and everything became normal again.
Wu Jian would often laugh at himself for not having the fate of a prince but having the diseases of a prince.
Lance Heno did not agree with Wu Jian's self-deprecation, and would occasionally argue with Wu Jian when he heard it.
If we talk about being serious, Wu Jian really can't compete with Lance Heno.
It is worthy of being the fabric worn by the royal family. Little Jinjin rubbed against it for such a long time but there was no balloon on it. It can be seen that the quality is very good.
Wu Jian patted the long hair from Xiao Jinjin on his body and planned to turn back.
He has been out for so long. If time goes on for too long, Lance Heno will become worried and come looking for him.
Wu Jian was worried that the space-time rift would bring some uncertain harm to Lance Heno, who was not far from the resting place.
He also climbed a tree to look into the distance, but there were only trees.
without
After finding some useful information, Wu Jian jumped down from the tree in disappointment and went back with Xiao Jinjin.
Lance Heno had been paying attention to the direction Wu Jian left. He originally wanted to follow the child, but was rejected by the child.
The child was very smart and knew that she would soften her heart as soon as she looked into his round eyes.
Lance Heno had no choice but to step back and let his spirit beast follow him.
He also wanted to let the child grow up, but when he thought about the child getting hurt or having an accident, he felt uneasy for the first time.
Lance Heno sighed, this was probably a common problem among parents.
Lance Heno really takes good care of the child, and even learned how to raise a cub from the old man who took care of him when he came.
No matter what he thought, when the food in the pot was almost done, Lance Heno put it aside to cool. A child's throat is more fragile than his skin. Lance Heno felt regretful for having scalded the child last time.
Nowadays, people are more careful about the food their children eat, for fear of any mistakes.
After repeatedly testing the temperature with his hands to make sure it was almost right, Lance Heno put the food away and prepared to go and catch the playful child. At this moment, Wu Jian came back with Xiao Jinjin.
"Brother He, I'm back."
Lance Heno nodded and gave him the prepared food.
Wu Jian was really hungry, so he just poured the food into his mouth.
However, while eating, Wu Jian asked another question.
"Brother He, have you eaten?"
Lance Heno said, "You eat it, and I'll make mine again."
Seeing this, Wu Jian didn't say much and finished the meal in a few bites.
Lance Heno habitually touched his stomach to see if he was full.
Wu Jian was like a kitten, allowing Lance Heno to rub him.
Although Wu Jian's stomach was not bloated, it was not deflated either, so he could continue to eat the nutritious meal given by Berger.
Lance Heno withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
Wu Jian smacked his lips. Actually, the food Lance Heno gave him was very delicious. Unlike usual, even after eating, he would stuff himself with a lot of food. At the end of the day, he did nothing but eat. His jaw was sore every day.
The only time Wu Jian didn't want to turn into a human was when he was eating, because the human mouth was too small. Unlike when he was a dragon, he could swallow a whole sheep in one bite.
Being a dragon has its pros and cons.
Wu Jian had his meal, Hu
After a moment of random thought, he rested his chin in boredom as he looked at Lance Heno, who was leisurely eating. He couldn't help but sigh: the aristocratic education is beautiful, full of nobility, and very pleasing to the eye.
As for yourself, just eat however you like. Elegance is for others to see, but you can't see it yourself, so why bother yourself?
Wu Jian was very envious of Lance Heno's eye-catching movements. It seemed that the dragon's attributes were such that his values were determined by his facial features, and he was a heavy admirer of appearances.
When I was an ordinary person, I was also obsessed with looks. When I was in school, the people I played with were all of similar good-looking color.
After becoming a dragon, his tendency to judge by appearance became more and more serious.
Along the way, almost all the people who are as strong as me have grown quite well.
If Wu Jian had not seen Lance Heno's true appearance, he might have thought that the mermaid was the prettiest, Chaos was the best-looking, and Ira was the most handsome.
But when he saw Lance Heno's face covered with scars, the peace in his heart collapsed.
The beauty of Lance Heno cannot be described in words. If I have to describe it, only Apollo, the sun god, can compare to him. He also likes gold, the same gold as the sun. Lance Heno's eyes will make people sink into them if they look at them for a long time.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at you..." Wu Jian regretted it after he said it.
He actually looked at Lance Heno in a daze and said what he was thinking.
Lance Heno was stunned. "This seems to be the first time you've praised me. Even though the adjective isn't right, I'm quite happy."
Wu Jian glanced at Lance Heno and found that he was really not angry, so he grinned.
"Of course, you're the first good-looking person I've ever seen!"
Lance Heno became interested and asked, "How does it compare to Ira, Chaos, and the Mermaid Queen?"
Wu Jian treated everyone equally, "You all have your own beauty and characteristics, there's no way to compare. Brother He, don't worry, in my heart, you're different from them."
Lance Heno benefited a lot because he was different from others!
Wu Jian observed Lance Heno's expression and found that he was not angry. He seemed to be in a good mood and quietly wiped the sweat off his face.
In fact, I was not wrong. In my heart, Lance Heno was indeed different from others.
The time is too short now and he has not found the reason for the difference.
Wu Jian put aside all the mess in his mind and told about what he had done when he went to check around.
"Brother He, we should
Is it time to come back?"
Wu Jian was still a little unsure and could only ask Lance Heno again.
"Well, this is the outskirts of the ancient ruins city of writing."
Wu Jian breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that he's back. We can continue our mission now. I wanted to ask him about the key to the Wind-Moving Words and the gem, but I didn't see him. The spaceship had already left."
Lance Heno said calmly, "We'll find it eventually."
Wu Jian threw a few pieces of wood into the fire to make it burn more vigorously.
"Brother He, we just passed through a space-time rift. Aren't you tired?"
Lance Heno shook his head, "You rest."
Wu Jian was just about to say that he could also keep watch, but Lance Heno stood up directly.
"I'll take you to rest and help you recover your mental strength."
"That night watch."
Lance Heno said, "I'll have the spirit beast guard it."
Wu Jian had no choice but to admit defeat and followed Heno back to the small house.
Wu Jian had never seen how to restore spiritual power, so he asked curiously, "Brother He, what should we do next?"
Lance Heno looked at those lively eyes and covered them with his hands. The long eyelashes hit his palms and it felt a little itchy.
"You don't have to do anything, just lie down and sleep."
Wu Jian nodded obediently.
Originally, he thought he couldn't sleep, but the scent of Lance Heno was like magic. His clear brain slowly became hazy, his eyelids became heavier, and he gradually fell asleep.
Wu Jian turned over in a small pond, and golden lines swam around him, protecting Wu Jian firmly.
A snowstorm blew across the sky. It should have been very cold, but the snowflakes had a hint of warmth.
Wu Jian looked curiously at the snowflakes falling from the sky and landing in the small pond. The snow stopped falling when the temperature of the pond warmed up.
Wu Jian reached out and gently held the snowflakes, and exclaimed.
He had never seen such beautiful snowflakes.
The snowflakes are shaped like flowers, surrounded by gold edges. When they fall gently, they twinkle like thousands of stars falling from the sky.
“Wow.”
Wu Jian thought he liked rain the most because he could run freely in the rain, but when he saw the starry sky, Wu Jian felt that he liked snow again. It was not only because the snow looked like Lance Heno, but more importantly, it was beautiful.
The snow in the sky seemed to have sensed something. It was gradually getting smaller, but suddenly it grew larger. This time it was a little unclear.
It tasted cold, but Wu Jian was already having fun. He lay on the ground and buried himself in the snow.
Wu Jian had a smile on his face since he woke up in the morning.
When Wu Jian saw Lance Heno lying next to him, he did not wake him up.
Repairing mental power sounds simple, but Wu Jian guessed that it must be difficult to repair. Otherwise, why would the usually powerful Lance Heno fall asleep?
Wu Jian might have been wrong about this. Lance Heno is a human, not a god, so of course he would rest.
While helping Wu Jian repair his mental strength, seeing him sleeping so soundly, Lance Heno also felt that he should have a good night's rest. He didn't know what would happen later, so he should try to get as much rest as possible.
Wu Jian left Xiao Jinjin outside the cottage and went to the creek to catch fish.
That’s right, catching fish.
Unexpectedly, hundreds of years later, there were other creatures in the ancient ruins that were not Dark Stars.
The fish in the stream are different from the fish he eats. I will ask Lance Heno if he can eat them after he wakes up.
Wu Jian grabbed a basin and looked at the fish jumping around in it, his mouth watering with greed.
Meat is his favorite food, vegetables are his dislike food, but fish and seafood are his favorite food.
He has been in the Wizard Continent for so many days and has not eaten any fish, only meat dishes. This time he must have edible food.
Wu Jian started a fire early and found a pile of wood nearby. There was plenty of wood in the forest.
He was worried that the fish were lacking oxygen in the basin, so he changed the water again.
Lance Heno came out of the hut and saw the children standing around the big basin, drooling at the fish.
Wu Jian saw Lance Heno come out and quickly asked, "Brother He, is this fish edible?"
Lance Heno didn't want to disappoint him: "Cut one open and see."
Wu Jian couldn't wait to use his claws to gently cut open the long incision, take out the internal organs, check the fish meat inside and see that it was flesh pink, then nodded to Wu Jian.
"You can eat it, but don't discard the internal organs."
When Wu Jian heard Lance Heno say that the fish was ready to eat, he volunteered to process it.
This fish is so special that it doesn't bleed much.
Wu Jian's claws were very handy and he could handle a large basin of fish in no time.
Lance Heno took out a large pot from the space, poured other ingredients into it, and added hot pot base. This was Wu Jian's strong addition. Lance Heno knew that he
I like spicy food, so I didn’t refuse and just added several packets.
He processed the fish that Wu Jian handed to him, cut it into thin slices, and poured it into the red soup.
A few minutes later, a large pot of fish was ready.
After Wu Jian and Lance Heno finished eating all the fish, they could not stay here and continued on their way.
Wu Jian thought this kind of fish was delicious, so he caught a lot of it, processed it, and put it in a space box for refrigeration. Whenever he felt like eating it, he would ask Lance Heno to make some.
With food in his stomach, Wu Jian was motivated and climbed over a mountain with Lance Heno and came to another set of building ruins.
However, there are already people living in the ruins here.
Wu Jian glanced at the people who were staring at him and Lance Heno warily, racking his brains to figure out what civilization they were from.
"This place is already occupied by our magical civilization. Go rest somewhere else, or we will not be polite!"
Magical civilization?
In Wu Jian's memory, he recognized Moss from the Rubik's Cube Civilization.
He had met Moss once in Death Beast City and again at Aisha's coronation ceremony. He had a good impression of Moss, but only of Moss. These people were not good-looking and spoke arrogantly with a kind of disdain, as if it was a great honor for them to talk to Wu Jian.
Wu Jian doesn't like people who bully others by taking advantage of their power, so there is no such thing as tolerance for him.
Wu Jian mocked himself in his heart, thinking that Lance Heno really spoiled him.
If it were in the past, he would have suffered this loss openly and would have retaliated secretly because of his own burden to Blue Star. But now he can't even tolerate this little bit of injustice.
Wu Jian sighed and loosened his clenched fists.
Just as he looked up, the people who had threatened him fell down.
Lance Heno straightened his messy clothes and reached out to ruffle Wu Jian's silver hair.
"If you feel wronged, just tell me and I'll help you teach them a lesson."
Wu Jian was moved. It turned out that Lance Heno knew everything, but he just didn't say it.
With the farce happening on Wu Jian's side, the people in the camp finally realized that something was wrong and came out one after another.
Looking at their companions wailing on the ground, the other members of the Magic Civilization became furious.
“Who did it!”
Wu Jian concealed his vulnerability and rolled his eyes forcefully, "Are you blind?"
“Who are you!”
The remaining few people did not rush forward, but just kept their chests rising and falling.
, proving that they are now feeling uneasy.
"Does it have anything to do with you? Also, do your magical civilizations always like to bully others? Moss didn't seem to be like that before."
Moss also gave him some food from the magical civilization, and he was also very pleasing to the eye, so Wu Jian liked him quite a bit.
"Do you know Moss? Could you be Wu Jian?" One of the handsome young men stared at Wu Jian up and down.
Lance Heno frowned and stood in front of Wu Jian.
The boy curled his lips and waved to the people around him, "Since they are Moss's friends, disperse. Tim, take them downstairs to recover."
Tim was the one who questioned Wu Jian just now. He was a serious uncle and was always wary of Wu Jian and the other man.
He lowered his head and said something to the boy, but was rejected by the boy. Finally, he sighed and left.
After the people around him were busy with their own things, the young man walked towards Wu Jian.
"Hello, my name is Xuan Ya. Maybe you have heard of my name?"
Wu Jian thought about it carefully and realized that his interpersonal relationships were actually very simple. Unless the person was very important, he usually would not remember that person's name.
Xuan Ya didn't get angry when he saw this. "My identity is very simple. The Star Network Encyclopedia next to you should know me. Why are you acting alone? Don't you know that the ancient ruins and the Wizard Continent are very dangerous? Although I have no doubt about He Nuo's ability, it is too dangerous for you two to carry out this mission."
Wu Jian didn't know how to communicate with him, so he could only say briefly, "It's okay."
"Alright? It seems like you don't know where this place is."
Wu Jian really didn't know that the computer gave him a map but didn't mark any names. The twists and turns on the map were no better than following Lance Heno with his eyes closed.
"This is Black City, one of the three forbidden areas in the ancient ruins. Hundreds of years ago, it was one of the final destinations of the Hezong Alliance's experiment. Back then, the people of this city were almost wiped out."
Black City? Why haven't I heard of this name before?
Wu Jian looked up at Lance Heno.
Lance Heno shook his head and told him not to worry.
Wu Jian saw that Xuan Ya was a chatterbox and couldn't help but ask him.
"How did you know so many people would die in Black City?"
Xuan Ya blinked. "Because my great-grandfather and his family experienced that disaster, I found our family's old records in my father's study and learned about what happened back then."
Xuan Ya said so much, but Wu Jian only caught two
A key word, "You said 'Father'?"
Lance Heno explained, "Someone from the royal family."
Wu Jian understood. No wonder Xuan Ya brought so many people with him. It turned out that the prince came out to gain experience.
However, Wu Jian did not feel surprised at all. The person next to him was a civilized king and a prince. What was there to be surprised about?
"I'm sure you really don't know me." Xuan Ya said seriously.
Wu Jian rolled his eyes, "You're not a walking star coin, why should I know you?"
However, Wu Jian only muttered a few words in his heart, and appeared indifferent on the surface, giving haphazard answers.
After Xuan Ya left, Wu Jian found a clean place to sit down and rest.
He was about to set up the tent when he was stopped by Lance Heno.
Wu Jian stared at Lance Heno in a daze. "Brother He, if we don't want to set up a tent, then we want to live in a small house?"
Lance Heno shook his head and whispered something into his ear.
"Tonight might not be peaceful, try not to fall into deep sleep."
Wu Jian immediately understood that Lance Heno was afraid that he would be reluctant to abandon the tents when they ran away.
Last time in Death Valley, two giant beasts fought and completely wiped out their camp. Wu Jian had left all his gear there, and when he dug it out again, he found the tent was clearly unusable, and he was heartbroken for a long time.
Zaizai's love for money is not just talk.
Lance Heno didn't feel bad about the tent, he just didn't want to see the child unhappy.
Wu Jian didn't know what Lance Heno was thinking.
He rubbed his ears, which felt a little numb, and felt happy that Lance Heno was thinking of him.
"Brother He, I'll listen to you."
"Um."
After Wu Jian ate some snacks and felt half full, he stopped eating and sat by the fire, glancing at the people from the magical civilization who were on guard around him.
He asked quietly, "Brother He, what kind of person do you think Prince Xuan Ya is?"
Lance Heno asked, "Why did you suddenly think of asking him?"
"Nothing, I just feel like one tenth of what he just said is true."
Is Wu Jian already so sensitive?
"How did you tell that?"
Wu Jian was bewildered: "I don't know, he seems strange, as if he is hostile to me."
Lance Heno's eyes darkened, and he pinched the child's dragon horn, "I have
He won't dare to hurt you. If you are afraid, I will go and kill him now."
Wu Jian's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stopped Lance Heno.
"Brother He, don't be impulsive. Maybe I'm wrong. If something really happens tonight, let's just run away and ignore them."
Wu Jian is not a saint. Since others don't like him, why should he have the heart to save others? Moreover, these people are so arrogant that they would take advantage of others even if they didn't encounter any tough opponents.
Wu Jian fell asleep leaning on Lance Heno.
Lance Heno took out a laser sword from the space, leaned against the pillar of the abandoned building, and closed his eyes to rest.
Inside the luxury tent, Xuan Ya, who was also awake, heard footsteps and looked up at Tim.
"How about it?"
Tim said in a hoarse voice, "They are resting. There is no movement."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Xuan Ya's beautiful eyes. "Aren't they afraid that we'll kill them while they're asleep?"
Tim shook his head, "That boy looked genuinely asleep, but that young man seemed to be resting and not asleep."
Xuan Ya sighed, "A young cub of a small civilization can actually attract so many people to protect him. What a stroke of luck. Especially this thing on him. I've been investigating for so long and there's no news at all. It's a bit frustrating."
Tim reminded him quietly, "Prince, we are here for the things of magic civilization. Don't forget the king's instructions."
Xuan Ya waved his hand. "After all these years, the key to the City of Words is still nowhere to be found. It's such a vast continent, it's hard to find. Why don't I let my father give the reward money to someone else?"
Tim said anxiously, "Prince, this is a reward from the king. It means something different."
"Got it. As soon as the sun rises, take people to look for it, okay?" Xuan Ya sighed. "I just don't know if Moss has found out."
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
A faint orchid light appeared in the sky, and something seemed to come alive in the mountains and forests.
When Lance Heno was rioting in the area, he woke Wu Jian up with his laser sword.
"What's wrong, He brother?"
Lance Heno said, "Something is coming."
Wu Jian took the laser gun given by Lance Heno and looked around.
You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking. The night watchman didn’t move, with his head drooped, as if he was asleep.
Wu Jian was about to pull Lance Heno's hand, but he felt a prickly hair and a cold
skin.
Turning his head, he saw that it was not Lance Heno's face, but a rotten and blackened face. Because it had no jaw, the face looked longer, as if it was forced to be elongated by someone, and its dark eyes stared at Wu Jian.
Wu Jian didn't move.
The undead didn't move either.
They looked at each other in the cold and quiet.
Wu Jian looked at the dead soul quietly. There was no fear in his round eyes. Instead, he was sizing up the appearance of the dead soul in front of him. He was thinking about how real the scene he saw was. What if it was an illusion and he accidentally hurt Brother He? It would not be worth it.
Seeing that the boy was staring at him without moving, the ghost thought he was scared and floated towards him.
"Can you speak?"
The bodies of the dead appear and disappear, giving off an unreal and eerie feeling.
He clenched his white fist and pointed it at the dead soul.
Oh!
A shrill scream was heard, and the monster that was sticking to Wu Jian turned into a white shadow and disappeared.
The original scenery returned to my eyes.
Wu Jian grabbed Lance Heno's hand.
Lance Heno turned around and looked at Wu Jian.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Jian told Lance Heno what he had just experienced.
Lance Heno's eyes were cold. "Hold my hand."
Wu Jian walked in the ruins holding Lance Heno's hand. All the people of the magic civilization had shrugged faces and looked painful, as if they had dreamed of something terrifying and could not get out of the illusion.
These people were hallucinating just like him.
Wu Jian didn't ask why Lance Heno didn't have the hallucination. On the contrary, it would be terrible if he had the hallucination.
It doesn’t matter if Wu Jian himself is the one who gets infected. He still has a trump card, which is that he believes Lance Heno will save him. But Lance Heno has been infected, and he may not be able to save him.
Ordinary hallucinations cannot make Lance Heno fall into the illusion. For example, just now, Wu Jian was hit, but Lance Heno was not hurt at all.
"Brother He, this illusion is quite fragile. It seems to be able to inspire the most fearful things in people. However, it only found one to scare me. How can one be enough? There must be at least hundreds of them. Just like that, I shattered them with one punch!"
Lance Heno chuckled and said, "You're pretty impressive, then."
Wu Jian raised his chin, with baby fat and a childish look on his face, but he insisted on pretending to be a big boss, which looked a bit funny.
"Found it."
Lance Heno shot a human face in a tree with one hand.
The scream was piercing.
The human face on the tree showed a vicious look, and the next second, the laser gun directly pierced through the eyebrows of the human-faced tree.
The fog around us dissipated a little, but not completely.
"Brother He, it has accomplices!"
Lance Heno nodded: "How many little dragon cubs can you find?"
After finding a few, Wu Jian looked at the gloomy woods around him and shook his head.
"I can't."
Lance Heno smiled and said, "Of course not with your naked eyes. Try using your mental power."
Wu Jian's heart moved, and he closed his eyes, feeling the golden lines outlining the cold, dark faces.
"The second one on the east side."
"Bang!"
Wu Jian wanted to open his eyes but was blindfolded by Lance Heno.
"continue."
Wu Jian continued to rely on his mental strength.
"The fifth tree in the northeast corner."
"Bang!"
"The eleventh one to the north."
"Bang!"
"northwest……"
"Bang……"
There were several gunshots in succession, and shrill screams were heard in the woods.
The fog surrounding the campsite was thinning away, and many people in the camp had already woken up.
"Pah! Great marksmanship, you're truly a walking encyclopedia."
The hand that was holding Wu Jian's eyes had been put down by its owner.
Lance Heno had a cold expression on his face and didn't say anything.
Xuan Yaru is very outgoing and friendly. If the mountain doesn't follow me, then I follow the mountain. He is very thick-skinned.
Wu Jian admired Xuan Ya's social skills very much. Coupled with his good looks, most people really couldn't refuse him. However, Wu Jian glanced at Lance Heno and felt that Xuan Ya's abilities were useless to Lance Heno.
"Wu Jian, you are very powerful." Xuan Ya said with a smile.
Wu Jian acted cool and said, "Oh, thank you."
Xuan Ya's smile was a little stiff.
"The camp is in danger this time thanks to you. If you hadn't noticed something was wrong in time..."
Wu Jian interrupted Xuan Ya's babble and pointed at the big tree whose leaves had turned yellow after being killed by Lance Heno.
"You're a magician from a magical civilization, so you should recognize this kind of tree, right?"
Could it be that the magic civilization sent a useless piece of trash this time?
Wu Jian looked Xuan up and down
Ya, apart from being good-looking and talkative, I don't see any other usefulness in him. By the way, the guy named Tim seems to be the core of the team, and everyone does things according to his mood.
Is it possible that Xuan Ya is just a puppet?
Wu Jian looked at Xuan Ya's dark eyes and couldn't help but look away. What if he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?
Wu Jian felt something was wrong the more he thought about it, so he planned to take Lance Heno away from the magic civilization team tomorrow. If that was true, Xuan Ya was a smiling tiger, and he might be tricked at any time.
Xuan Ya didn't know that Wu Jian was thinking about leaving tomorrow, and was enthusiastically explaining the matter of the face on his body.
"As everyone knows, many people died in the ancient Black City hundreds of years ago. We are located where they ended up. Because of the passage of time, this place has returned to nature. The souls of the dead cannot rest in peace, so they can only parasitize the trees. Over time, this place has become a world of trees with human faces."
Xuan Ya walked to a tree with a human face on it, kicked it, and a highly rotten hand appeared in front of him.
Xuan Ya grinned, "See, I didn't lie to you. This place used to be a deep pit where corpses piled up, and the place where we rest is the legendary black city with tens of thousands of undead."
Wu Jian took a shovel from the space, shoveled down twice, revealing a face that was unwilling to close.
"Where have you seen this person before?"
Xuan Ya came closer to Wu Jian and asked, "What, you've seen it?"
Wu Jian moved back somewhat uncomfortably, ignoring Xuan Ya's voice, and finally remembered where he had seen him.
Isn't this the same ghost that scared me just now? Even after death, how many corpses are buried under these human-faced trees?
"There may be more than one dead body here. If you don't want to help, just get out of the way."
Wu Jian waved away Xuan Ya, who was buzzing like a mosquito in his ear.
Xuan Ya was a little surprised when he was pushed away. Then, under the gaze of Lance Heno, he kept a distance from Wu Jian.
"Wu Jian, wait a moment. I'll get someone to help you."
Xuan Ya called a few young men who had recovered well to help dig holes under the tree, and soon the bodies were carried out one by one.
Wu Jian stepped forward and tore off the clothes of one of the corpses. The back was severely rotten and only a mark could be vaguely seen.
"Is this a pirate? No, that's not right. Is this the symbol of the United Alliance? Why did they die here?"
The United Alliance is almost a target of public condemnation across the entire galaxy. The magical civilization has a lot of problems with the United Alliance.
The hatred is deep. Their own planet was swallowed by the dark star. The older generation spent a lot of effort to develop and grow on the current planet.
"It would be too easy for them to die here!"
Xuan Ya gritted his teeth, and the young man behind him also showed hatred in his eyes.
Wu Jian stepped aside and spoke to Lance Heno in a low voice.
"I can't understand why these people died below the human face, which just happened to correspond to these trees?"
Lance Heno said calmly, "Go and rest if you want."
Wu Jian glanced at Xuan Ya and the others beside him and yawned.
At this time, Lance Heno grabbed Wu Jian's hand and rinsed it with clean water.
"Brother He?"
"You just touched the body."
"Oh, do it again."
"Um."
The two talked in low voices, left the woods hand in hand, and went to their original resting place to continue sleeping.
Wu Jian didn't sleep well that night. He had been digging the corpse for half a day and had a lot on his mind, so he couldn't fall asleep. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the corpse.
The appearance of the United Alliance's corpse here seemed like a provocation and a mockery.
Is it possible that there were still people alive back then?
But that doesn't make sense. Even if someone from the United Alliance was still alive, they wouldn't use their own people as exhibits, right?
Could they be people from other civilizations?
The latter is more likely. You have to know that the United Alliance is crazy, which is why they did so many crazy things. It is normal for people from other civilizations to catch people from the United Alliance and kill them to vent their hatred.
But Wu Jian felt that things were not that simple. What a coincidence that he ran into her?
It is difficult to check the signs of death on a highly decomposed corpse, and there are no obvious wounds. The expression is hideous, and the death must have been very painful.
The characteristics were completely opposite to those of the poison curse, so Wu Jian directly ruled out this possibility.
Never mind, things will work out when the time comes.
Wu Jian walked around and except for the forest, he found Lance Heno who was looking at something outside the ruins.
"Brother He!"
Lance Heno glanced at Wu Jian.
Wu Jian trotted over and asked, "Brother He, what are you looking at?"
Lance Heno pointed at the words on the collapsed pillar.
"Brother He, I don't understand."
That’s right, he doesn’t understand, but he is so confident about it.
Lance Heno was silent for a moment, then explained, "This is wizard writing."
Wizard word, not modern word for magicians?
"Brother He, read it."
Wu Jian tugged at Lance Heno's sleeve and looked at him expectantly.
"The spell's purpose is probably to suppress the undead. The Lord of Black City sacrificed his life, and the people of Black City willingly died, using their corpses to suppress the dead."
Wu Jian thought for a moment and said, "Brother He, I think the people from the United Alliance definitely have bad intentions. They can even kill such a cute little dragon cub. They must have other goals. Brother He, you have the smartest brain. Can you tell me why? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well."
Lance Heno turned back to look at Wu Jian. "You all know that the United Alliance loves to stir up trouble, and that the souls that are suppressed here are those who died in vain. The United Alliance is the murderer of this killing. Why do you think these people died here?"
"Unless they want to release the souls here...Fuck!"
