Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng were still one step behind. When they arrived at the village, the fire had already begun to spread. Braving the raging fire, the two of them went from house to house to search for Shaya's whereabouts, and finally found something in a small house.
"Here!"
Ji Meng rushed to hear Ling Xiaolu's voice. Shaya's eyes were closed, and she fell into the magic shield, with her teacher lying not far away.
Ling Xiaolu rushed up to check Chaya's condition immediately: "She's still alive! She just passed out! What about you?"
Ji Meng tried his best to wake up the old magician: "Old man! Wake up, old man!"
The teacher coughed heavily and woke up from the coma, with a weak breath: "Save... Chaya..."
Ji Meng hurriedly said, "Shaya is fine."
The teacher shook his head: "Save her... get out... don't tell her... the truth... "
"What?" Ji Meng put his ear close, "What truth do you say?"
The teacher pushed him with all his strength: "Come on!"
The burning wooden rafters fell to the eaves with flames, and the wooden hut was about to be swallowed up.
Ling Xiaolu was anxious: "There's no time! Let's save Chaya first!"
The situation is critical, Ji Meng can only protect the child first: "Wait for us!"
He opened the way in front, Ling Xiaolu picked up Chaya and followed behind, passing through the blockade of the fire, and ran to the outdoors without any risk.
Just as they escaped, the wooden house behind them collapsed, leaving the old magician in the fire forever.
There was no time for them to mourn, and the situation in the entire village was not optimistic. In summer, the weather was dry and the fire became more and more fierce with the help of various dry woods.
"Get out of the village first!" Ji Meng opened a path for Ling Xiaolu, who was holding Shaya in the fire, and called back to him.
Ling Xiaolu raised his head: "There is a dragon ahead!"
A huge black dragon flew towards him, aiming at Chaya in Ling Xiaolu's arms.
It was too late, but it was fast. A round ball fell from the sky, smashed heavily on the dragon's head, and flew into Ji Meng's hands. His chubby body turned into a huge broad sword.
Ji Meng slashed two thunderbolts instantly with his sword in hand, causing the dragon to back away in fright.
"It must be it!" The evil dragon who attacked the village was their mission target this time.
"You take Shaya away first, and I'll take care of it."
After that, Ji Meng raised his giant sword and leaped towards the black dragon. In the heat wave came his exclusive skill password, "Thunder!"
The black dragon was not reluctant to fight, and was retreating step by step, Ji Meng saw through its intentions at a glance.
"Want to bypass me and attack Shaya? No way!"
Heilong was tightly entangled by him, Ling Xiaolu took the opportunity to take Chaya out of the fire, placed it under the tree outside the village, and turned to help Ji Meng.
Heilong was enraged by Jimeng and began to fight back, merciless flames sprayed at Jimeng. Ling Xiaolu arrived in time, the machete lit up, stepped on the dragon's tail and jumped onto the dragon's back.
The giant dragon twisted his body desperately, trying to throw Ling Xiaolu down, but Ling Xiaolu couldn't control his balance and couldn't cast his moves.
"Can you help me!" he shouted, "let it not shake!"
Ji Meng pointed his sword to the black dragon: "Thunder can't beat it!"
A thunder whip poised and bound the black dragon tightly. The more it struggled, the louder the sound of the electric current, and the giant dragon, which had lost its freedom, roared angrily.
It's now! Ling Xiaolu aimed at its weak point and swung the knife vigorously: "Swallowing the Sun!"
Heilong let out a heart-piercing roar, and countless fireballs spewed out of his mouth. Ji Meng had to take the lightning whip to avoid it, and Ling Xiaolu also fell to the ground.
Ji Meng saw through its dying struggle, held the sword calmly and charged, and then waved out: "The wrath of thunder!"
Under the thunder, the black dragon continued to struggle and twitch, and his body changed.
Ling Xiaolu was shocked: "Look!"
I saw that the black shell on its body began to peel off, piece by piece, falling to the ground, revealing crystal clear dragon scales.
"It's a mutated white dragon!"
Bai Long took off his black shell and fell heavily to the ground. Ling Xiaolu couldn't believe that this was the cub they escorted not long ago, and it actually grew to such a huge size.
"Why are you..." The little girl's voice sounded from behind.
Ling Xiaolu turned back: "Shaya, you're awake! Don't come here, it's dangerous here!"
He and Ji Meng withdrew from the fire and pulled Shaya back.
Chaya looked at the burning village in horror: "Why is this happening? What about the people in the village? What about the old man??"
Lingxiaolu had trouble, and Ji Meng didn't answer.
"Old man, shouldn't he..." Shaya didn't dare to say her guess, she could only scream and ask, "Why is the village on fire? Is it because of the dragon?!"
The white dragon fell into the fire, and a pair of eyes looked at Shaya from a distance, but it seemed that there was no breath of life, and it was dead.
Ji Meng and Ling Xiaolu's dragon slaying task was completed at the same time.
>> is leaving the old world...
"Wait a minute!" Ling Xiaolu wanted to stop it, but he didn't cancel the option to leave. After a brief reading, the two teleported back to the lair they came from.
There was no white dragon in the lair, and a pile of treasures was placed on the ground as a rich reward for them to complete the task.
Ling Xiaolu could no longer deceive himself: "You said, the white dragon that was lying here before is not..."
"The one we just killed." Ji Meng replied in the affirmative.
"But why?" Ling Xiaolu couldn't figure it out. "It wants to send us back in time and kill itself. If we fail to kill it, what will happen if the mission fails?"
"It will only be repeated once, until the mission is complete."
Although the mission has been completed, there are still many things that Ling Xiaolu can't figure out: "Why did Bailong attack the village and why did he attack Shaya? When we first met them, they seemed to have a good relationship."
Ji Meng also has one thing that he is very concerned about: "When the old magician asked us to save Shaya, he said not to tell her the truth, but we didn't find any clues about the truth at all."
"I think we should go to that village again and look for clues."
"Can you find it?" Ji Meng was surprised.
"I suspect that this is the area where giant dragons live. After going down the mountain, you should be able to find the village."
"How are you so sure?"
Ling Xiaolu pointed at his feet: "Have you seen the nest over there? I stole dragon eggs there."
There were no more eggs in the dragon's nest, and there wasn't even a shadow of a living dragon on the mountain. Instead, there were terrifyingly huge skeletons all over the ground.
Judging from the degree of weathering, these keels have existed for a long time. After Ling Xiaolu and the others left, what happened here
There are traces of human activities at the foot of the mountain. Herdsmen tend to herd sheep leisurely here. The picture is quiet and peaceful, but Ling Xiaolu feels more and more strange as he looks at it.
"Do you remember the last time we came here, there was absolutely no one around here."
"Because humans and dragons are very different, dragons will take away sheep raised by humans, so no one will come to the foot of the mountain to herd sheep, which means that those dragons have been dead for a long time."
Ling Xiaolu ran to the herdsman: "I want to ask, what happened to those dragons on the top of the mountain?"
The herdsmen were very enthusiastic: "Dragon? There is no dragon for a long time. Since we have a dragon slaying hero here, let alone this mountain, it is a hundred miles away, and you can't even find a dragon egg."
"Dragon Slayer Hero?"
"That's right, don't look at her as just a little girl, she is very capable. Those giant dragons are not her opponents."
Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng looked at each other: "Little girl? Do you know the name of this dragon slayer hero?"
The herdsmen looked in admiration: "She is known to us, and everyone knows her. Her name is Shaya, and she is a hero of mankind!"
After years of separation, the truant witch transformed herself into a dragon-slaying hero hailed by everyone. However, for Ling Xiaolu and the others, all this happened too suddenly, and they couldn't connect the two titles together.
"Thank you, I also want to ask, go west, is there a village?"
The herdsman's face changed greatly when he heard the words: "You must not approach that village. There was a fire in that village many years ago, and the entire village was burned to death. Since then, not only has the entire village been abandoned, but legends will also Haunted!... eh? Where are you going? It's west!"
Going west, you will pass through the witch's forest. "Maybe there will be some clues from the witch."
The appearance of the witch has not changed at all. She was an old witch many years ago, and she is still an old witch now. Is this also a kind of beauty-preserving technique
"Are you going to the village that was burned by the dragon?" The witch lowered her head and stirred the liquid in the pot, her voice hoarse, "Do you know that there are no more living people there?"
"We witnessed that fire with our own eyes."
The witch looked up and looked at the two of them: "I remembered, I remember you, you are the trustee who talks a lot."
It seems that the witch not only has good looks, but also has a good memory.
The witch walked in front of Ji Meng and sniffed with her nose. This excessively intimate action aroused Ji Meng's rejection and Ling Xiaolu's curiosity.
"Do you think she would smell it and suddenly call you husband?"
Ji Meng gave him a ridiculous look.
The witch said, "I didn't want to help you, but you smell like what I want."
Ling Xiaolu was even more curious: "What did you hide?"
Ji Meng was annoyed: "There is sharing, you won't see it yourself?"
It's not that Ling Xiaolu didn't look at it, it was just that Ji Meng had too many things in his bag. If the witch didn't say anything, he didn't know what the other party wanted. Maybe it was Lei Lulu
The witch turned around and pulled out a glass lamp from her treasure chest: "This is a psychic lamp made of the ashes of the dead as fuel. With it, you can understand the death language and communicate with the dead. "
Her terrifying black nails pointed at Ji Meng: "I want to use it in exchange for the White Dragon Stone on your body."
Ling Xiaolu was taken aback: "You hit the White Dragon Stone?"
"Dropped when the white dragon died."
"But do we have to change it? Although we don't understand Deathrattles, the ghost can raise a card."
Ji Meng wanted to turn him into a ghost: "Players are players, and NPCs are NPCs. The two are different."
"...The mission has appeared!"
Ling Xiaolu excitedly took over the [Undead Village], which proved that their puzzle-solving ideas so far were correct.
Ji Meng got the psychic lamp, but couldn't find the switch to turn it on.
"How can I make it light up?"
The witch rubbed the white dragon stone in her hand excitedly: "The ashes of the dead are only fuel, and they must be ignited by the breath of the living."
After that, she gave the order to evict guests: "Let's go, don't disturb my experiment!"
Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng were driven out. It was almost dusk, and the two rushed to the village where Chaya lived, facing the sunset.
Just as the herdsmen said, after the fire here, it was completely deserted, with broken walls and desolate walls. The dragon's bones were charred, and there was no grass around.
They tried very hard to find the small house where Chaya had been rescued, because it was burned the most, and it was almost impossible to recognize the original appearance.
After sunset, the moon was shining, and ghosts appeared out of nowhere, wandering aimlessly on the ruins. It is one thing to see this scene in film and television works, but another to experience it personally. Ling Xiaolu hides behind Ji Meng in fear.
"Are you afraid of ghosts?"
"I-I'm not afraid of watching ghost movies..."
A ghost floated behind Ling Xiaolu, making him scream in horror: "But I'm afraid of acting in ghost movies!!!"
The ghost drifted away, but Ling Xiaolu's accelerated heartbeat could not be calmed down: "Where are you, your lamp? Take it out."
Ji Meng's heartbeat is also not very normal: "If you didn't hug me like an octopus, I could have pulled out my hand!"
"..." Ling Xiaolu looked at the postures of the two of them, and let go of his hands with a guilty conscience, "Then take it quickly."
The psychic lamp was in hand, but it still wouldn't light.
"The witch said that the breath of a living person should be ignited. Could it be that they want to blow air inside?"
Ling Xiaolu said to try it, but it didn't work. Another ghost floated over, and Ling Xiaolu staged the embarrassing eight-catch fish hug again.
Although embarrassing, he refused to let go.
"I'm sorry, I'm real, I'm a little scared..."
"Hold the lamp." Ji Meng lowered his voice. In such an environment, his voice had the effect of calming the mind.
Ling Xiaolu mustered up the courage to put his hand on Ji Meng's hand, and the two of them held the psychic lamp from one mile away.
light is on.
Ling Xiaolu was a little relieved.
A gloomy voice sounded from behind, "What are you doing here?"
"Ah!!!" Ling Xiaolu released his hands in fright, and the lights went out again.
Ji Meng shoved the lamp into his hand, and then held it tightly from the outside, Ling Xiaolu couldn't let go now.
"Don't be afraid, they're just NPCs."
"NPC, NPC, it's not a ghost, it's an NPC..." Ling Xiaolu kept brainwashing himself.
Seemingly better, he dared: "I, we want to inquire about the clues about Shaya, any clues."
"Shaya!" The ghost screamed fiercely, "That calamity! If it wasn't for her, our village wouldn't be like this!"
"It's a bit too much for you to say that," Ling Xiaolu said with enthusiasm, and he wasn't as scared as before. "It's obviously a giant dragon that burned your village."
"Who told you it was a dragon? No!"
More and more ghosts came around, piercing screams one after another.
"It was Shaya who burned down our village!"
"She is the culprit, she is the scourge of mankind!"
