Chapter 20
Just when Wu Jian was in a daze, someone grabbed his neck. When he turned around, it was He Nuo!
His clothes had been decomposed by the corrosive liquid, revealing his scarred body.
Wu Jian's pupils trembled.
He Nuo's body was covered with scars, some of which were recent, some of which had just healed, and some of which were scars from old years.
No one knows what he has been through in the past that has left him with so many wounds.
Looking at the wounds, Wu Jian felt embarrassed to be pulled by others.
The little wings flapped happily in the water, and taking advantage of the situation, Wu Jian brought He Nuo ashore.
“They’re coming up!”
"Bring the healing potion!"
Everyone hurriedly brought healing potions and clean water to the man and the dragon to wash off the mucus on their bodies.
Wu Jian subconsciously handed the energy cube to He Nuo, but He Nuo ignored him. He took the healing potion from Dumez and sat down in a corner alone.
Wu Jian was stunned. Just as he was about to follow He Nuo, a group of people blocked his way.
"How did you get it, little cub?"
“That’s amazing!”
Everyone was praising Wu Jian, and even Yila couldn't help but smile.
But Wu Jian still cared and sat in the corner silently congratulating Nuo.
Wu Jian reacted and complained about his own character for caring about someone who used him as bait.
Could it be that I have also contracted Stockholm syndrome?
He forced himself to look away and forced himself to have an awkward conversation with others.
After feeling that Wu Jian's gaze had left, He Nuo looked up in Wu Jian's direction, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
The healing potion was very effective, and the fingers that had exposed their bones healed visibly.
But the corrosive pain was like a cancer that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
He Nuo clenched his fists, and Sui Jin's eyes became deeper.
Over here, Dumez adjusted his glasses, his eyes full of interest. "It's amazing that you weren't corroded by the star beast's slime? How does that work? Little cub, can you give me a little bit of your scales?"
The little dragon pretended not to hear and flapped its little wings to move away from Dumez.
Ira held the little dragon cub in her arms and warned Dumez, "Don't pay attention to him. Bring me the potion."
When Dumes heard what Ira said, he shrugged his shoulders and threw a potion at Ira from the space.
"I just
I'm just curious. Speaking of which, Ira, you're acting more and more like a protective father. Is he really not your child?
"Get lost." Ira rolled her eyes and quickly grabbed the dragon cub who took the opportunity to escape. "Where are you running to? Apply medicine."
The little dragon cub's wings were caught by someone and he couldn't break free, so he could only let others do whatever they wanted.
A few minutes later, a mummified baby dragon emerged fresh from the oven.
Dumez couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Honestly, Ira, your bandaging skills are terrible. Can't you see that the little dragon cub is gasping for breath?"
"How is it possible..."
Before he could finish his words, the cub was snatched away from his hands.
He Nuo untied the extra bandages on the little dragon cub and bandaged his wound in the most comfortable way.
Wu Jian finally felt alive and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ira scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Sorry, this is my first time bandaging someone's wound, so my hands might be a little rusty. I just need more practice."
Wu Jian:!
He ignored his awkward feelings towards He Nuo and threw himself directly into He Nuo's arms.
I never want to experience that suffocating feeling again, it's too terrible!
Wu Jian thought with lingering fear.
Dumez saw the little dragon cub's little action and laughed even louder at Ira!
When the others saw this scene, they temporarily relaxed their tense bodies and couldn't help but smile.
The audience in the live broadcast room also breathed a sigh of relief.
[Tsk, the little dragon cub is both my success and my failure. Even though the little dragon cub has terrible luck, he's also a lucky guy sometimes, so that's not bad either. He even managed to accidentally let the star beast mistake him for his mother, earning an energy cube for free. Love it.]
[Honestly, I was actually attracted by a little dragon cub, even though I came to see Ira.]
【Upstairs, you are not alone! 】
[Hahaha, such an adorable little dragon cub, let auntie kiss him. So cute! By the way, Ira's actions were too rough. Didn't he see that the cub was out of breath? Ahhh, if he has cubs in the future, tell Miss Lili to never let him raise them alone. He'll be lucky if the cub is still alive.]
【??? By the way, no one cares about time? It's been almost half a day, and the other teammates still haven't found the third energy cube. Where is the last energy cube?】
After obtaining the second energy cube crystal, Wu Jian and his group searched the cave several times. They found many star beasts, but there was no trace of the last crystal.
I saw it.
When they came out of the dungeon, they happened to see players from the Magic Civilization and the Blue Heart Civilization surrounded by a large number of star beasts.
In the maze, the corpses of monsters can be seen everywhere, all of which have fallen into the clutches of star beasts.
As Ira said, when the star beasts began to hunt the demon beasts, it proved that they didn't have much time left.
After Ira and others helped the magic civilization and the blue star civilization resolve the danger, they found a safe place to exchange information.
While helping his teammates treat their wounds, Moss communicated with Ira.
"We searched the entire maze but didn't find any crystals. Instead, we encountered a hunting star beast."
"We found the second and final crystals. They're not in the crypt, nor in the maze. Could they be in the Death Beast City?"
Moss was shocked. "You actually found a second crystal? What kind of luck did you take?"
Ira ignored Moss's ridicule and said, "Do you think it will happen to the female star beast?"
Moss thought seriously, "It's possible. By the way, have you encountered that female star beast?"
Ira was stunned and shook her head, "No. We encountered star beast cubs larger than four stars in the dungeon, but no female star beasts."
"That's strange. Usually female star beasts stay close to their cubs and don't stray far away."
"Wait a minute, someone has seen it." Ira interrupted Moss and turned to look at He Nuo, who was standing out in the crowd with the little dragon in his arms.
"I forgot to ask your name."
"Honuo."
"Yes, He Nuo has seen female star beasts!"
Moss turned his gaze to He Nuo.
"I did encounter a female star beast before, and it was injured."
Moss asked, "Who hurt it? Star beasts hatching their cubs are very irritable. Who dares to mess with a female star beast in its hatching period?"
He Nuo said: "I have observed its injuries, they are scratches, it should be a star beast as powerful as it, or a demon beast."
Moss shook his head. "It's impossible for a demon beast. I guess there must be more than one star beast."
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
It’s already hard enough for the team to hatch one star beast egg, and if there’s another one, will they be dead?
Just when everyone was silent, the sound of the little dragon flapping its wings attracted their attention.
Moss saw the cub in He Nuo's arms, with more bandages all over its body, and couldn't help frowning.
"I say, Ira, does your alien beast civilization have any atrocities?
Look at the cub's tendencies and the injuries on its body. Why are there so many more now?"
Moss's words of condemnation were directed at Ira.
Ila did not refute. It was indeed his fault that he did not keep an eye on the little dragon and let it jump into the corrosive lake produced by the star beast.
Moss's words made Tang Keke and the others very worried when they saw the little dragon cub wrapped in bandages.
However, they did not speak when Moss and Ira were communicating.
They were very happy that Wu Jian was not dead, but the bandages on Wu Jian's body made Tang Keke and the others feel nervous.
They really wanted to go up and ask the little dragon if his injuries were serious, why he was following the players from the alien beast civilization, and whether he was being coerced.
But when they were about to move forward, they saw Wu Jian's eye hint, which made them stop, until they heard Moss mocking the leader of the alien beast civilization.
Tang Keke and the others also wanted to hear Ira's answer.
However, before Ila could open her mouth to explain, she heard Wu Jian's howling voice.
"Oh." Brother, don't blame Ira, it's the bad guy's fault.
Wu Jian acted like a weak green tea cub and successfully attracted Moss's attention.
Moss said, "There's no need to explain for the little cub. From what I know about him, he'll do anything to achieve his goals."
Wu Jian looked at Moss innocently and howled twice.
"Ah." First of all, I completely agree with my brother. The first time I ran into Ira, he wanted to skin me alive. Secondly, my brother misunderstood. I'm not from the alien beast civilization.
Moss was a little surprised, "But your form is similar to that of the alien beast civilization."
"Oh." No, I'm from Blue Star.
This time, not only Moss was shocked, but even Ira and Dumes couldn't help but be shocked.
To be honest, Ira and Dumez already regarded the little dragon cub as their own cub, because his appearance was so similar to theirs.
I didn't expect that he was from the Blue Star civilization?
"How is that possible?" Moss immediately denied. "The Blue Star civilization's abilities are clearly close to natural magic. I've never heard of it being able to awaken non-human cubs."
"Oh." Brother He can prove that he and I are teammates.
As he spoke, Wu Jian used his claws to pull at He Nuo's clothes. It was a long time before he heard He Nuo's brief "hmm".
Moss was still skeptical, but there was no time for idle chat, so he got back to the point and continued talking to Ira about the star beasts.
Ila has not yet recovered from the shock of finding out that the cub is a Blue Star race.
Wu Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Moss was no longer paying attention to him. He wanted to go to Tang Keke and the others, but found that he could not move his body. He looked up and saw He Nuo's golden eyes, which showed an intriguing look.
"How many good brothers do you have?"
Hearing He Nuo's cold tone, Wu Jian's body stiffened.
Oops, the sea is too high?
Wu Jian nudged He Nuo and cautiously cried out twice. "Ah." "God knows, I only recognize He Ge as my brother! Besides, why would I go to a distant place when I can cling to He Ge's thigh?"
As he spoke, he looked at He Nuo's expression.
In fact, He Nuo's face was disfigured and no expression could be seen, but his eyes were different.
Wu Jian saw the frost melting and the earth warming up through his deep eyes, which were as white as broken gold.
Wiping sweat secretly.
Finally escaped. !
