Chapter 110
Wu Jian squatted in front of the corpse with a distressed look on his face.
Ever since Lance Heno told me about the conspiracy of the United Alliance, although it was just a guess, I thought that guess was probably true, otherwise, it couldn't explain what happened here.
"I say, you've been staring at these corpses for almost two hours, aren't you disgusted?"
Xuan Ya stood by, playing with her long hair. Her delicate face looked at the troubled boy with a smile on her face.
Looking at the silver hair that was tied into a mess by the boy, Xuan Ya's eyes flashed with pity.
"What's it to you? I can do whatever I want. This is not your home."
Xuan Ya saw that the boy looked extremely annoyed and felt a little curious.
"Tell me what you found out."
"I..." Wu Jian looked at Xuan Ya and smiled meaningfully, "Why should I tell you, huh?"
Wu Jian left with his chin held high.
Only Xuan Ya was left standing in front of the corpse, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wu Jian returned to the resting place and found Lance Heno still resting with his eyes closed, so he approached carefully.
But before he got close enough, Lance Heno had already opened his eyes and looked in Wu Jian's direction.
Seeing this, Wu Jian was no longer cautious, but walked confidently beside Lance Heno.
"Brother He, I didn't notice it."
Wu Jian pouted, a hint of frustration in his tone.
Lance Heno said, "If I can't see it, I won't go."
"Brother He, let's leave. I don't want to see Xuan Ya anymore."
Lance Heno didn't ask the reason. In his opinion, as long as the child was uncomfortable, he would just go along with him.
"good."
Lance Heno pulled Wu Jian up, picked up the things on the ground, and took him away from the ruins of the Black City.
The people of the magical civilization just took a look and went about their own business.
Wu Jian followed Lance Heno and climbed a small hill. From here they could see the ruins of the Black City. Not far in front of them was a big river, and the sound of the river could be heard from here.
At this moment, a wailing sound swept through.
The two seemed to have sensed something and turned around, seeing that the Black City was surrounded by darkness, forming tornadoes, and resentful undead appeared in the air.
"Brother He, those undead?"
"Being released
It’s out.”
Wu Jian was shocked and said, "No way, there is a thief in Xuan Ya's team?"
Lance Heno hummed coldly, being extremely indifferent to the lives around him.
Wu Jian was a little confused, and Lance Heno turned his head to look at him.
The confusion on the child's face was very obvious.
"You want to save him?"
"Who wants to save him, a cocky little kid? I'm worried that maybe there's the clue we're looking for in the Black City?"
Lance Heno said, "Let's go."
"Brother He, I really don't want to save him. I just want to find clues. Let's not save anyone when we go there. Finding clues is more important. Don't let them get there first."
Wu Jian followed Lance Heno, muttering to himself. The closer they got to the Black City, the more they could feel the roar of the undead in the tornado.
Especially in the direction of the forest with human faces, there are so many undead that it makes people's scalps numb. There are too many and too dense. I dare not imagine how many undead there are.
Wu Jian swallowed his saliva and said, "Isn't there a mass grave down there?"
Lance Heno frowned and told Wu Jian, "Wait a minute, follow me."
Without Lance Heno's instructions, Wu Jian wanted to lie on top of him.
There are more undead, less popularity, and the body will feel uncomfortable.
It was as if he were back in the swamps of Death Valley, freezing cold.
Seeing Wu Jian's actions, Lance Heno pinched his dragon horns soothingly.
Lance Heno walked forward calmly. The undead around him rushed towards him one after another, but were scattered by the laser gun in his hand.
The undead that originally gathered around the human face forest noticed the situation here and many more came.
Wu Jian started by throwing only one small silver ball, but found that it didn't have much effect, so he simply threw all eight at once. The huge explosion also blew open a path for the two of them.
The people of the magician civilization who were dealing with the undead in the ruins of the Black City discovered the fire outside the Black City and became confused.
"Who's looking for death at this time?"
"There are too many undead. Even we can't handle them. Aren't those people seeking death?"
"Don't waste time, protect the prince."
Listening to what everyone said, Xuan Ya probably knew who was coming.
Didn't those two leave? Why are they back? Do they like to die so much?
but……
Xuan Ya smiled, and her delicate face became even more beautiful.
Wu Jian is a
An interesting person, no wonder he attracts Moss to mention him occasionally.
"Tim, get out first."
Tim is guarding Xuan Ya. He is the royal guard sent by the Magician Kingdom to protect Xuan Ya. If Xuan Ya dies, he will not survive either.
"Hey, they actually went to the forest of human faces. Are they really looking for death?"
Someone in the crowd looked up at the direction of the flickering fire and murmured a few words.
Xuan Ya felt something was wrong. There must be something on the shore of the human-faced forest that attracted Wu Jian and the others.
"Tim, go to the Woods of Human Faces, and the others go out."
Everyone looked at each other. They were also people sent by the royal family to protect the prince, but they were the sons of earls, not loyal guards. Of course, they had to put their own safety first before protecting the prince.
Now Xuan Ya asks him to leave, should he go or not?
The less capable magician was invaded by the undead and rolled on the ground screaming.
The undead tore at the man's flesh like wild beasts.
The tragic scene appeared in front of everyone, and they could no longer care about the prince. Their own lives were more important.
Most of the people in the magic civilization rushed to the periphery.
Xuan Ya gave Tim a cold look and directed him towards the forest of human faces.
At the same time, Wu Jian and Lance Heno had arrived at the Human Face Forest.
"Brother He, the corpse here..."
The originally highly decayed corpse had turned into a pile of broken bones, many of which had been ground into dust by the black tornado and swept away by the wind.
The tornado was originally caused by the undead. The wind force can grind bones, which shows how much the undead hate the people of the United Alliance.
“Woo…”
The trees in the human-face forest were not blown down by the wind, and even the leaves did not move. It seemed as if this place was isolated from the outside by a tornado.
Lance Heno: "Little dragon, follow me, the trees are alive."
Wu Jian looked confused. What do you mean by alive? Trees are alive, right?
Of course, Wu Jian followed Lance Heno through the barrier, and then he suddenly realized why Lance Heno said the tree was alive.
Before, there were only a few trees with human faces, and only one face on each tree. Now, the tree is covered with human faces from top to bottom.
People's faces showed all kinds of expressions of laughter, anger and scolding, and they chattered as if they were communicating.
Wu Jian felt like he had entered a vegetable market, his ears buzzing.
Suddenly, the scenery in front of him distorted, and a white shadow floated towards him.
“Bang!
”
A crisp sound was heard and the white shadow disappeared.
The distorted figure in front of Wu Jian also dissipated, and a slight warmth came from his hand.
"Don't listen, don't look, don't ask. Close your eyes and I'll go through the woods of human faces and take a look at the other side."
Wu Jian closed his eyes and could feel something blowing towards his ears more clearly, making half of his body feel cold.
The person holding your hand walks forward.
"I don't know. I feel something ahead. Remember what I just said."
Wu Jian could feel Lance Heno moving, crackling, and walking in the forest on the white bones.
The sobbing sound echoed in my ears.
Wu Jian quickly brainwashed himself.
The crying disappeared, and was followed by the sound of children's laughter, and there were also shouts as if at a market.
[Young Master, there are some freshly baked meat pies today. I saved two for you.]
[Kid, that place has great wine, but it's a pity you can't drink it anymore.]
[I'm so miserable, I'm in so much pain, can you please help me? ]
Wu Jian felt that the hand he was holding was getting colder and colder. Compared to those voices, he hoped that Lance Heno would be safe more.
But he wasn't sure whether disturbing Lance Heno now would affect him.
I felt a little impatient in my heart. Just when I was about to open my eyes, something was wrapped around my waist, and a big furry head was rubbing against me from behind.
Wu Jian's anxious mood immediately stabilized, and Lance Heno's spirit beast appeared, proving that he was fine.
The undead hiding in the darkness became furious when he saw that he could not influence Wu Jian, and he summoned the undead to tear the two of them to pieces.
Although Wu Jian couldn't see, he could feel the situation around him.
Fortunately, Lance Heno had taught him how to use his mental power before, so he didn't have to rely solely on mental power to attack the undead around him.
In the pitch-black forest, golden ribbons whipped the approaching undead as fast as a whip.
Lance Heno put away the laser gun in his hand and drew out a golden sword.
If Wu Jian opened his eyes at this moment, he would probably be so surprised that his jaw would drop if he saw Lance Heno stretching out his hand and the golden halo condensing into a golden sword.
No undead escaped from Lance Heno's sword.
Half an hour later, Wu Jian's head suddenly started to throb with pain, as if it had exploded, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Being able to kill undead with mental power is twice as difficult as killing people. Wu Jian can hold on for half a
The hours have been excellent.
Lance Heno placed Wu Jian on the golden giant beast, and the long sword in his hand exploded with light. The golden light flashed, and the surrounding undead did not dare to get close at all.
Wu Jian had fainted from the pain at this time and did not see Lance Heno helping him to relieve his mental strength.
A golden ribbon, like a swimming dragon, touched Wu Jian's snow-white skin and penetrated into his mental power.
——
"They went in?" Xuan Ya murmured in a low voice.
"Your Highness, should we go in? It seems more dangerous inside than outside."
Xuan Ya looked at the deep forest and the densely packed faces on the trees and gritted his teeth.
"Go in and take a look."
Tim sighed, "Your Highness, my ability is not as good as that He Nuo. I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Can I go in alone?"
"No, my father gave me weapons for protection, and I will go with you."
Tim tried to persuade Xuan Ya, but he didn't listen, and they went into the woods together.
The faces in the trees showed various expressions, staring straight at the prey that entered the woods.
——
Wu Jian woke up slowly and saw Lance Heno holding him and resting, with little Jinjin lying beside him.
"How do you feel? Does your head hurt?"
Wu Jian shook his head, "I'm sorry to bother Brother He again."
"No trouble."
Wu Jian lowered his head, a hint of frustration flashing across his eyes. He could clearly cross the Death Valley, so why did he fail here?
Lance Heno saw the child lower his head and said, "The undead here might be a problem even for the elders of the magical civilization. You can use your mental power to hold on for half an hour, which is better than others. Don't overthink it. You need to build up your mental power slowly. Don't rush it."
Wu Jian smiled and said, "I understand. I won't do it again next time."
It's rare to hear Brother He praise someone, it feels pretty good.
"By the way, Brother He, where are we?"
"A human face deep in the woods."
Wu Jian jumped out of his arms and looked around.
The situation here is a bit strange, the undead that attacked them are gone.
"It's a bit strange that no undead have come in here."
"Little dragon, come here."
Lance Heno's voice sounded, and Xiao Jinjin appeared beside Wu Jian, wrapped his tail around his waist, and led him towards Lance Heno.
"Hey, I can walk, don't pull me, Xiao Jinjin."
Wu Jian arrives
Behind Lance Heno, Lance Heno took out a small Rubik's Cube and threw it up, and the surroundings became clearer and clearer.
“Are there any buildings here?”
Wu Jian looked around and found that the surrounding buildings were so weathered that his original appearance could not be seen at all.
Until Lance Heno stopped.
Wu Jian bumped into Lance Heno and looked at him guiltily, finding that his eyes were fixed on the front.
Following Lance Heno's gaze, Wu Jian took a breath.
"Are the remains of Heicheng beneath this cave? No, what is that huge bone?"
A huge skeleton appeared in the direction Wu Jian pointed, but the limbs of the skeleton were not rotten and appeared to be a mixture of black and white.
"It'll take a while to kill a monster like this, right?"
Wu Jian sighed, the more he looked at it, the more he felt like he had seen this monster somewhere before.
"Brother He, do you feel that this monster looks familiar?"
Lance Heno didn't say anything, but just threw the small Rubik's Cube down. In the dark deep pit, the appearance of the monster could be seen clearly.
The strange thing is that the limbs are so lively and plump, as if they are growing on their own.
The more Wu Jian looked at it, the deeper his frown became.
"Isn't this the Tiger Star Beast that fought the Unicorn Beast? Why is it here?"
Wu Jian thought of the dead people in the Hezong Alliance and the angry undead.
"look."
While Wu Jian was in a daze, Lance Heno reached out and directed Wu Jian's gaze to the skeleton of the Tiger Star beast.
At first, Wu Jian didn't understand what Lance Heno wanted him to see, until he saw strands of black stuff entering the body of the Tiger Star beast, and then he suddenly realized.
"Could it be that these people want to refine this king-level beast into their own possession?"
Lance Heno: "Little dragon, it's time to set the fire."
Wu Jian asked, "Brother He, you want me to burn this place down?"
"We can't stay here, and we'll never have any more trouble."
Wu Jian agreed with Lance Heno's words. If things continued like this here, something bad would definitely happen.
He pinched a golden spark and threw it into the deep pit.
boom!
Orange flames with gold burned, and the human-faced forest behind them screamed continuously. The black tornado tried to break through the barrier here, but was blocked outside.
If there is
If one looked up, one would surely see a tall figure standing outside the barrier.
Lance Heno seemed to sense something and looked up at the figure.
The figure made an ancient and respectful gesture towards Lance Heno, and after the deep pit was completely engulfed by the fire, the figure also dissipated with the wind.
He is the current lord of Black City.
Wu Jian looked at the corpses in the deep pit that had burned into black ashes, and smiled at Lance Heno.
"Brother He, mission accomplished, let's go."
Just as he was about to get up, something flashed in the deep pit.
Lance Heno used his mental power to bring the thing out, and a stone shining with a faint orchid light appeared in his hand.
Wu Jian heard the voice of the computer and clicked on the panel to take a look.
The Wizard Holy Stone quest has been marked with a green √.
"Is this the sacred stone of the magical civilization? It seems a bit ordinary?"
Lance Heno handed the Holy Stone to Wu Jian and said, "Keep it."
Wu Jian put it away obediently.
At this time, the sky was bright.
There was no tornado in the sky, and the entire forest was quiet and harmless, unlike the ferocious one just now.
"Huh? Why is Xuan Ya lying here?"
Wu Jian and Lance Heno walked out of the woods and found Xuan Ya lying on their way back. His body was covered in wounds of varying sizes, and his neat clothes were tattered, as if he had been through something horrific. However, his life was not in danger. The necklace around his neck flickered faintly, likely a life-saving magical device.
Wu Jian just took a curious look at it and didn't take it away.
It’s not that he is not interested in the magic weapon, but that the magic weapon looks a bit ugly.
Why make a magical instrument in any other shape? Why did it have to be made in that cold, snake-like shape? It's disgusting. Of course, except for the mother snake on Insect Island, all other snakes are disgusting.
Wu Jian thought about it and was reluctant to give him the nutrient solution, so he simply helped him up and leaned him against the tree.
"Are you still alive? Where's your cure?"
Xuan Ya's chest rose and fell slightly, and his fingers moved slightly.
Wu Jian saw the bracelet on Xuan Ya's right hand, and touched it with his other hand, and a box of healing agent appeared on the ground.
"As expected of a prince, he's so rich."
Wu Jian took two and poured them directly into Xuan Ya's mouth.
At this time, Lance Heno came over carrying a person.
"Found it in the bushes."
Wu Jian took a look and saw that he was inseparable from Xuan Ya.
The man's name seems to be Tim.
The wounds on his body were more serious than Xuan Ya's, and he was hanging by one mouth.
If Lance Heno hadn't discovered it early, he would have died long ago.
Seeing this, Wu Jian gave him three bottles of nutrient solution. The wounds on his body slowly healed, and his pale face became a little rosy.
"Okay, this is my thank you for saving you. Goodbye."
Wu Jian put away the remaining twenty or so bottles of nutrient solution and leaned the two of them against a tree. Since all the undead here had been dealt with, no monsters would occupy this place for a while.
"Brother He, let's go."
Wu Jian and Lance Heno left and met people from the magic civilization who had returned outside the Black City. They asked them to go to the Human Face Forest to find someone. They explained everything they needed to explain, and the rest had nothing to do with them.
The two left the Black City, crossed the turbulent river, and stopped to rest in an open place.
Along the way, Wu Jian was observing the holy stone in his hand. The greater his expectations, the greater his disappointment.
"This holy stone is so strange. After it glowed that day, it hasn't reacted since. Could it be that the optical brain made a wrong prediction?"
As soon as Wu Jian finished speaking, a small warm yellow light ball appeared.
[The optical computer did not make a mistake in its judgment. Player Wu Jian, please do not question the optical computer.]
This was the second time Wu Jian saw the appearance of the optical computer, and it was an optical computer with a new core. The voice was soft and a little timid.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to come out. I thought your power was out."
Wu Jian pinched the computer and made it feel dizzy.
[Player Wu Jian, please, please don't tease the computer QAQ. ]
"Little dragon."
"Ahem, well, what are you doing out here?"
Wu Jian said this with some regret as he put down the computer.
The small warm yellow ball hid behind Lance Heno.
[Her Majesty Fei Yu, the Queen of the Mecha Civilization, has sent an important message. I have blocked the live broadcast.]
"Fei Yu, what did she send? Do you need to tell her orally?"
[Little Dragon, someone from the Mecha Civilization is colluding with the United Alliance to eliminate players from various civilizations on the Wizard Continent. Their focus is on three locations: Black City, Death Valley, and the City of Words. If you've seen my message, you might already be in one of those locations. The United Alliance is nearby.]
If there is a chance, don't let them leave the training ground alive. Here, I will inform other civilized planets to carefully deal with the United Alliance among the people. In addition, the United Alliance
If you want to swallow the Dark Star again, you and that person must be careful.]
Wu Jian's face was solemn. "Have the people of the United Alliance become so arrogant? Brother He, what should we do? Sister Feiyu seems to have discovered your identity."
Lance Heno had no choice but to pinch Wu Jian's dragon horns.
"Um."
"Huh? That's it. Aren't you nervous? Will your identity be discovered?" Wu Jian blinked.
Lance Heno said calmly, "It's okay."
Wu Jian thought about it and felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing.
These kings who can rule a civilization must be smart. Perhaps they had already discovered it when Lance Heno performed outstandingly, but he hid it too well, so others could only guess roughly.
When it comes to conspiracy, he is definitely no match for the king, but when it comes to fighting, he can still beat two people at once.
"Brother He, it seems that the next place we are going to is Death Valley. Let's revisit it and see if our old friend has woken up."
Lance Heno said nothing and gave the meat pie he had baked to the chattering child.
Wu Jian bought the meat patties and placed them in the space. He bought a lot of them. When he met Tang Keke and the others, he could let them taste the food from hundreds of years ago.
"I don't know where Tang Keke and the others are."
Wu Jian glanced at the map. Since the last training ground, the positions of his teammates no longer appeared, and the last practical locator of the Star Live computer was also cancelled.
I don’t know why?
Wu Jian took a bite of the meat pie and didn't think about it anymore.
Thinking about things like this gives me a headache, so I'll just eat some cake.
Lance Heno ate the meat pie and poured the nutritious meal from the fire into a bowl, waiting for it to cool down before giving it to the child.
Wu Jian had used a lot of mental energy today, and before it got dark, he was already feeling a little sleepy.
Lance Heno put the small house on a flat surface and let the child sleep in it.
Wu Jian didn't refuse and walked into the room yawning.
Lance Heno was guarding the fire, while the golden beast was guarding the door of the small house, lying on the ground and dozing.
——
"Fuck! Why is this thing still chasing me? Zhao Qing, quickly find a way to save me! It's not like I stole your child, why are you chasing me? Damn it!"
At the edge of the quiet forest, two figures were running away frantically, and behind them, a group of ostrich-like monsters followed. Their sharp beaks pecked the short-haired girl's pig, causing her to scream.
Zhao Qing, who was one step behind Tang Keke, was throwing powder at the ostrich monsters around him.
Because there were too many of them and they were very strong, Tang Keke and Zhao Qing couldn't get rid of the giant ostrich behind them for a while.
The only reason for this is that Tang Keke was just too unlucky.
There is no conspiracy theory. Tang Keke is simply asking for trouble.
While the two were on a mission, Tang Keke saw many nests made of roots in a small swamp and wanted to see what good things were inside.
As a result, there were only scattered eggshells and egg liquid in the nest, and what was even more unfortunate was that he was caught by the owner of the nest.
It chased them all night and didn't stop, which shows how angry the ostrich monster was.
Tang Keke felt really wronged. It was obviously not her who broke it, but now she turned around and faced the ostrich monster. She couldn't explain herself to such an unintelligent monster.
Zhao Qing had been helping her drive away the ostrich monster, and rolled his eyes when he heard her chattering.
"Shut up! If you have the energy, you might as well run. I don't have much medicine powder left. I've scattered it all the way. Do you know how precious it is? I won't get anything out of helping you."
"Well, Zhao Qing, we're teammates who've been through thick and thin together. I'll definitely treat you to a good meal when we get back."
"Alright, forget it. Just give me the money for the powder I'll give you tonight, and I'll give you a little extra. Two hundred thousand, no less."
Tang Keke collapsed: "No, I'm already like this, why are you still imitating the little dragon cub Zhou Pa Pi?"
Zhao Qing said angrily: "Come on, if the little dragon cub hears it, you're gone."
"Ahhh, they're pecking me again, my pigu, Zhao Qing, help me."
The two men dodged left and right, and after going through untold hardships, they finally got rid of the terrifying ostrich monster and lay on the ground motionless.
"I'm so tired. How can such an ostrich run so fast?"
Zhao Qing was panting heavily. In terms of physical strength, he was no match for Tang Keke. Fortunately, he had healing abilities and could use healing agents to relieve the fatigue when he was tired. Otherwise, he would have been exhausted after running all night.
"We've been in Death Valley for so long, and now we don't know where we are. We were already a little lost, and now it's even harder to find our way. Little Dragon Cub is even more directionally challenged than the two of us. I wonder if he's here yet."
Tang Keke sighed worriedly.
Don’t think that Death Valley is a small place just because it’s called this place. Although it’s not as big as the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it’s still very big. She and Zhao Qing walked for almost
It has been more than a week and I am still wandering in Death Valley.
Especially since Death Valley is a forbidden area in the training ground, the two of them were actually sent here directly.
If they had not been accustomed to being vigilant and taking turns keeping watch, they would have died on the first night.
Moreover, there are many swamps here, and there are endless monsters in them, making the already dangerous Death Valley even more dangerous.
The most critical thing is that the map locator is not working well. They can’t find the location of the little dragon. Damn it!
"Zhao Qing, let's get some rest and find the little dragon cub as soon as possible. I don't know if Mr. He is with him."
"Last night, when we were being chased by ostriches, I heard some movement to the east. It seemed to be from Black City. I wonder what happened to the players there. There was even a tornado."
Tang Keke was surprised and asked, "Why didn't I see it?"
"You were screaming and wailing as the ostrich pecked you, so you didn't have the time to observe the surroundings."
Tang Keke: ...
"By the way, do you want to treat your injuries?"
Tang Keke waved her hand, opened the small blue tube, poured blue liquid into her mouth, and the wounds on her body healed visibly.
"My wound is fine. It's all the fault of those ostriches. No, it was some bastard who broke my eggs. They have no sense of public morality!"
Zhao Qing remained silent. He was already used to Tang Keke's chattering voice.
She used to be very talkative when following the little dragon boy, but now that no one seconded her, she stopped after saying a few words, smacking her lips a little uncomfortably.
"Let's go east. What if we run into some dragon cubs and they can't speak properly? We should try not to stay in one place. It would be bad if a monster comes after smelling the blood on me."
The two men crossed the mountains and forests, walked carefully through the swamps, and slowly approached the east.
They thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but when they turned around, they saw a black snake with its bloody mouth wide open rushing towards them.
"Fuck, this snake is so immoral. How could it attack by surprise?"
Tang Keke avoided two black snakes as thick as buckets, and another one sprang out from behind her.
"Keke, be careful!"
A silver light flashed, and the black snake swallowed the thing that attacked it into its mouth.
"Fuck, get down!"
Tang Keke pulled Zhao Qing to the ground. An explosion sounded and some debris fell around the two of them.
"Hey, are you two planning to become a desperate couple?"
A joking voice
When the noise was heard, they looked up and saw a silver-haired boy standing on a dead tree, looking at the two of them with a smile in his eyes.
The two were surprised when they saw the silver-haired boy, and then a little annoyed.
Tang Keke cursed angrily, "You little dragon cub, you dare to tease your sister? Get your death!"
"Hahahaha, just a joke, don't take it seriously... Oh my god, Brother He, save me!"
Tang Keke paused, because the person standing in front of her was Mr. He, the male mother of the little dragon cub.
Seeing this man, Tang Keke put away the sledgehammer in her hand and smiled at him.
"Mr. He, I was just joking with the little dragon cub, there's nothing else to it."
Lance Heno nodded slightly, then helped Wu Jian check his body.
Listening to Wu Jian exaggerating and slandering him, if Zhao Qing hadn't stopped him, the two would have definitely started arguing again.
Five minutes later.
The black snakes in the swamp have been dealt with and are just waiting for Zhao Qing to deal with them.
Wu Jian discovered that these black snakes were similar to the ones he had killed back then, though not as strong. Black snake skin was a valuable asset, invulnerable to weapons and swords. If he took it back to the research institute for study, they might be able to produce some valuable artifacts.
Wu Jian dug out the black snake's crystal, threw it into the space, and ran to a vacant place to sit.
Lance Heno was standing next to the fire, ready to rest here for a night.
Tang Keke came over after smelling the fragrance and was busy helping Zhao Qing peel the snake skin. She was so hungry that she was growling. At this time, the camp was filled with the aroma of meat, and Tang Keke immediately lost interest in peeling the skin.
Zhao Qing was afraid that her snake skin would be damaged, so she simply drove him away. There were only two of them anyway, so she didn't need any help.
Wu Jian was helping Lance Heno grill meat patties. He didn't hear any footsteps behind him and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Hey, little dragon cub is eating. What smells so delicious?"
Wu Jian looked bewildered. "Ah, it's just a meat pie, what's wrong?"
Tang Keke said, "What kind of meat pie smells so good? We're not teammates anymore. Give me one."
Wu Jian stopped teasing Tang Keke. Lance Heno gave him the meat pie, and then he passed it to Tang Keke.
"Here you go, this is some good stuff I got. It's full of soul and flesh."
"Such a rich spiritual energy, you are so lucky."
Tang Keke took a bite, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but give Wu Jian a thumbs up.
It smells so good.
Wu Jian called out to Zhao Qing, "Zhao Qing, stop busying yourself and come over to eat something!"
Zhao Qing responded, and after simply processing the snake skin, he threw it into the space. He didn't need to worry about the snake corpse on the ground, as something would take care of it.
After they had eaten their fill, they sat around the fire.
Tang Keke asked about the situation in Black City and whether Wu Jian and the others had encountered any danger.
"There's no danger. We just encountered a group of trees with human faces that were left behind hundreds of years ago."
Tang Keke and Zhao Qing were shocked.
The human-faced tree doesn't sound like a good thing, and it's even more incredible that it was left behind hundreds of years ago.
Wu Jian talked a lot, saying that the tornado was caused by tens of thousands of undead, and the scene of him following Lance Heno to kill undead all the way, as well as the mass graves and holy stones they encountered.
Wu Jian's story was full of twists and turns, and Tang Keke and Zhao Qing listened with great interest.
Finally, I couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that I didn't go at that time and missed such a good learning opportunity."
"yes."
Wu Jian was speechless. "I almost lost my life there, and you still want to study."
"Forehead……"
Wu Jian looked at the two people's dazed faces and burst out laughing.
"Okay, just kidding. Brother He taught me how to use mental power. I'll teach you guys later. But overusing it will give you a headache."
As for being afraid of pain, given the huge temptation of improving their abilities, this little pain didn't have much impact on Tang Keke and Zhao Qing.
The injuries they suffered back then were more painful than mental exhaustion.
After Wu Jian finished telling about his own experience, he asked about the other two people's situation.
After hearing what Tang Keke said, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You said you two were lost? That's impossible?"
Tang Keke's face flushed red. "Why would I lie to you? I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask Zhao Qing."
"Yeah, it's the same road, marked well, but I still get lost. It's very strange."
Tang Keke said that Wu Jian might not believe it, but Zhao Qing also said so. This kind of situation never happened when they came to Death Valley twice.
Wu Jian felt that something was wrong and looked at Lance Heno calmly.
"They're right. Something is indeed amiss here. It must be Hezhong's doing."
"What, United Alliance, isn't this a cult that has been destroyed?" Tang Keke was confused.
"Remember that we were assassinated many times?" Zhao Qing reminded.
Tang Keke is not a fool. After Zhao Qing's reminder, she frowned slightly.
“It seems that people can’t wait to get it done now.
Kill us."
"I think that apart from us, this is just a minor matter. They set these things up here with a strong purpose. We saw a king-level monster in the Black City mass grave, but it's already dead."
"You mean, there's still a king-level monster in Death Valley? No way?"
——
Death Valley is one of the three forbidden places in ancient ruins. Compared with the other two places, it is buried with thousands of monster corpses. The swamp never dries up all year round. There is white mist in the morning and everything is quiet at night. Ordinary people would not come here to die.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several figures quickly passed through the swamp jungle, causing a flurry of dead leaves to fly everywhere.
"I said, we've been walking for two days, why haven't we entered the depths of Death Valley yet?"
Tang Keke said in confusion.
It wasn't that she was complaining, but she felt that ever since Wu Jian said those words that night, there was always something around them staring at them, so she had to speed up her journey.
Wu Jian looked at Lance Heno and stopped when he got a nod from him.
"Keke, if you want to rest, just tell me. There's no need to question me."
Tang Keke looked bewildered. "Why would I question you? We've been wandering around the forest for two days, not even half a day. We should at least see a monster and get some rewards. I haven't seen a single one in these two days."
Wu Jian shrugged and said, "Maybe I'm too strong, so the other party doesn't dare to come."
"Haha, you're the only one who can blow it."
Wu Jian stood up and faced Tang Keke. The light was against her, so Tang Keke didn't notice anything unusual, but Zhao Qing did.
Under Wu Jian's gaze, he retreated under a tree and no one noticed that he had disappeared.
Wu Jian continued to argue with Tang Keke, "I was trying to reason with you, but you said I was bragging. You have a pity for my good intentions."
Tang Keke rolled her eyes and sneered, "I always feel that you have bad intentions. Are you deliberately tiring me out? Do you want to take all the good things for yourself? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. All the treasures I got were wasted. It's okay once or twice, but I won't be fooled by you again, humph!"
"Tsk, you can't afford to lose, and you still have the nerve to say that."
"That's you cheating. If Mr. He wasn't here, would I have lost to you?"
"Then let's compete."
"It must be better than..."
"Bang!"
As soon as Tang Keke finished speaking, many people in black clothes fell down around the two of them.
"Forehead……"
Wu Jian walked up to a group of unconscious men in black to check. He pulled open their clothes and saw the pirate logo on their skin. He turned his head to look at Lance Heno who was slowly walking out of the jungle.
"Brother He, have all the people been caught?"
Lance Heno nodded.
Wu Jian chuckled, "As expected of a member of the United Alliance, with shifty eyebrows and rat eyes, none of them are good-looking, and they are an eyesore."
"No, what's going on? How did these people become members of the United Alliance? What if they are players?"
"No matter if it's him or not, these guys have been following us for several days. I'll feel bad if I don't deal with them."
Tang Keke looked at Wu Jian thoughtfully, "So you were acting with me just now?"
"Yeah, I've hinted so clearly, Zhao Qing has already reported it, and you're still arguing with me, saying you can't beat me because I have Mr. He's support... Tsk tsk, even if Brother He doesn't support me, you wouldn't dare to hit me."
Tang Keke glanced at Lance Heno cautiously, and found that his expression was normal, then she started arguing with Wu Jian.
"You're awesome! That's enough."
"I've always been this awesome... Hey, Zhao Qing, you're back."
Hearing Wu Jian calling Zhao Qing's name, Tang Keke turned around and saw Zhao Qing dragging two unconscious people. They were wearing camouflage clothing and looked a bit like Lan Xing.
