When I opened my eyes again, it was bright.
Shi An rolled over lazily and stretched a big waist on the bed.
He had just caught a cold, not a major problem. After taking the medicine, he slept honestly for one night, and the pain had basically disappeared without any trace.
The sunlight outside the window was dazzling, and the room was brilliant.
Shi An slowly got up.
I always feel that I have had a very long dream.
In my dream, I saw my long-lost treasure, shiningly piled in a dark and dry cave.
He leaped forward to hold it and didn't let go.
I don't know why, the treasure that was supposed to be cold and hard, the hand that I hugged it was actually warm, even a little hot, and quickly dispelled the cold and painful darkness.
Speaking of which, what kind of treasure is this kind of texture
Fire gems? Warm jade
Well, it doesn't seem to be right.
Shi An leaned against the bed, yawned, thinking indifferently.
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Wang Li walked in behind the doctor.
He looked at Shi'an and said, "I have talked with the doctor just now. Your body index tests are all normal. You should be discharged from the hospital this afternoon."
Shi'an cheered up: "Okay!"
Wang Li pulled a chair and sat down in front of Shi'an’s bed. He simply told him about the things the other three agreed with, and then in detail what he needed to prepare for the next task. Finally, he To conclude:
"The remains of the abyssal crack are far away. Since the season of closing the mountain is about to come, we must leave as soon as possible."
Shi An's mouth was full of buns, and he asked vaguely: "How fast?"
Wang Li handed over a cup of warm water in due course:
"We will leave tomorrow afternoon."
Shi An received the warm water and poured tons of land into it.
Wang Li frowned uneasy: "Slow down, don't choke."
I don't know when, he seems to have become accustomed to the unconscious behavior of the young man in front of him, and he began to subconsciously worry about the other party.
Shi An put the half-empty cup on the head of the bed and replied happily:
"Tomorrow? No problem!"
Although his face still has a little unfading paleness, his eyes are shining with eager brilliance.
Treasures, the sooner you get them, the better.
Wang Li nodded.
He stood up to leave, but hesitated for a few seconds when he turned around.
Finally, he decided to ask the question in his mind: "By the way, how did you talk to Chief Mu yesterday?"
Shi An: "...Huh?"
He blinked and stared blankly at Wang Li in front of him, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words: "What?"
Wang Li was startled.
The doubts on Shi'an's face are very real, without any falsehood.
Didn't Chief Mu come in yesterday
its not right.
The corners of Wang Li's mouth twitched slightly.
He pointed to the black sleeve that was pulled out from under the corner of the quilt who was pressed by Shi'an: "That, what is it?"
"Huh?" Shi'an seemed to notice only then.
He moved aside, then pulled a coat from under his body vigorously.
The fabric is thick and high-grade, it seems to be cut by hand, but it is crumpled at the moment, and there is still a little warm temperature left on it.
"Whose is this?" Shi'an was puzzled.
Wang Li: "..."
This is definitely the jacket that Chief Mu wore yesterday!
He couldn't help but raised his hand and squeezed the bridge of his nose, and simply told Shi'an about the encounter with Mu Heng outside the ward yesterday.
Shi An showed a dazed expression: "Oh, no wonder, I said why I am so familiar!"
After all, Mu Heng's last coat is still with him.
The old housekeeper took it seriously, and asked him to return it to others, but Shi An turned his face and forgot.
As a result, not only did he not return, but he also had one more item in his hand.
"Anyway, we didn't talk." Shi'an scratched his head: "I should have fallen asleep when he came."
After getting a definite answer, Wang Li didn't think much, he nodded to Shi'an, and then turned around and left the ward.
Without taking a few steps, Wang Li stopped abruptly.
Standing in the empty corridor, he suddenly realized a problem with hindsight.
its not right…
Since Shi'an was not awake when Mu Heng arrived yesterday, how did the officer's coat get into Shi'an's arms
Wang Li shook his head vigorously to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind.
It must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that he hasn't thought of yet but can definitely be explained perfectly!
After forcibly turning the black smoke into his own citizen, Shi'an left it at home to look after the house.
After all, the bed and pillows in the room are the result of Shi An’s hard work and hard work to collect the treasures. Who knows if the two humans will take advantage of him to leave and take his treasures for himself. !
After everything was prepared, Shi'an waved his hand to the housekeeper and said goodbye, and turned back into the car that Wang Li was driving over.
The carriage is large, and the inside is far more spacious than the outside.
Wang Li looked up and was about to say hello to Shi An who had just gotten into the car, but was startled by the huge backpack that was stuffed behind him.
He was stunned for two seconds, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked:
"Um... you are all here, what are you pretending?"
Wang Li seriously reflected on it in his heart.
After all, he is responsible for preparing most of the supplies, and others should be able to set off with some personal belongings.
Isn't it... Is there anything you have considered
"wait a sec."
Shi An took off the backpack and placed it heavily on the seat with a deep muffled noise. He pulled the backpack away, took out a bag of small biscuits from it, and then tore it open.
Shi An handed it over sincerely, "Would you like to eat?"
Wang Li: "..."
The other three: "..."
—So what do you think you are going to do this trip? !
far away.
The housekeeper stood at the door with a look of satisfaction and melancholy, watching the vehicle getting smaller and smaller in his field of vision.
He wiped the corners of his eyes less obviously.
Alas, the child has grown up.
Not only did I make friends, I even made an outing with my friends.
Oh, it's nice to be young.
Zhuo Fu raised his hand and knocked on the door and walked in.
"The last location of the target mercenary group has been determined. Based on other relevant information, we have finally determined their next target location."
Mu Heng raised his eyes and looked over: "Say."
Zhuo Fu turned over a page of the mission document in his hand and placed it on Mu Heng's desk: "It is a site of a crack in the abyss. Since it was closed, no abnormal fluctuations have been detected, so the surveillance over there has been relaxed."
He frowned in confusion: "What is that mercenary group doing there?"
During this period of time, the mercenary group has been looking for traces of dragons in various underground intelligence stations and the black market. It has a kind of unstoppable momentum, but before the dragon has been found, they suddenly changed their destinations, which is really letting people. Can't help but think about it.
Could it be that there is something in that crack that can help them find the dragon
Zhuo Fu seemed to think of something suddenly, and looked at Mu Heng:
"By the way, I remember that you were responsible for handling the crack ruins? Did you find anything unusual?"
Mu Heng did not answer.
With his deep-lined eyebrows drooping, he glanced briefly at the information on the folder in front of him.
Zhuo Fu has long been accustomed to the other side's indifferent attitude, and he didn't struggle too much.
He said: "In short, if this task is to be taken up, it should be set off today at the latest. The place should be closed a few days away. Don't worry about the specific materials or anything. I will talk to the person in charge over there. greet."
Mu Heng nodded and stretched out his hand to close the task file in front of him: "Thank you."
As he said, he stood up and pulled up the coat that was placed aside.
Zhuo Fu blinked curiously, and said, "Eh? Have you changed your coat?"
Mu Heng's coats are basically custom-made, which can defend against some magic splashes and attacks.
Although they are all the same style, Zhuo Fu is still keenly aware that this one seems to be much newer than the one worn by Mu Heng a few days ago.
He couldn't help laughing:
"I remember that the last time you lost your coat was from the Ability Academy, what's wrong? This time you saved another kid?"
Mu Heng paused when he put on his jacket.
At that moment, memories that were not too long came back again.
There seemed to be a warm and soft touch remaining on the wrist, and a little unnoticeable itching stayed on that piece of skin, making Mu Heng subconsciously strained all over, as if he had returned to the helpless few minutes again.
Mu Heng's eyes were cold, and the low pressure was enveloped all over his body.
He turned his head and glanced at Zhuo Fu who was not doing business behind him, and asked: "I think you are very idle? How is the research done on that sword?"
Zhuo Fu: "..."
He came down like a frosted eggplant, gritted his teeth unwillingly: "There must be some ancient magic attached to it, but you don't let me take a sample..."
Mu Heng sneered and turned to go out.
"Wait, what do you mean! Do you look down on people!" Zhuo Fu exclaimed anxiously.
Mu Heng did not turn his head, the office door closed behind him, blocking the other party's voice behind him.
He lowered his eyes indifferently, put his gloves on and pulled firmly.
That little piece of skin was covered tightly.
Originally, Wang Li was worried that such heavy luggage would slow down Shi'an's actions, but what he didn't expect was that before reaching the destination, the originally bulging bag would go down more than half of it.
… Basically he eats it all by himself.
Wang Li glanced at Shi'an's flat stomach in disbelief. He couldn't understand. Can a normal human's stomach really hold so many snacks
"Um... don't you save a bit to eat on the return trip?"
Wang Li asked vaguely.
Shi An took apart the jelly for a while, and suddenly looked at Wang Li in horror: "Wait, it means it won't be there when I finish the return trip?"
Wang Li's mouth twitched: "That's not what I meant..."
Shi An breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Wang Li: "I mean, don't you worry about stomach pain after eating too much?"
After all, he had seen the glorious deeds of the other party killing eight large ice creams at once and then going directly to the hospital.
"Don't worry, it was an accident last time!"
Shi settled down for a while, and then continued solemnly: "Besides, I can only work when I'm full!"
Wang Li: "..."
as long as you are happy.
They hurried for a full eight hours and changed transportation three times before finally reaching their destination.
When he got out of the car, Shi An was caught off guard by the oncoming cold.
The whirring gust of wind engulfed the thin ice and snow, and cut it towards them like a knife, making it hurt on his face.
Shi'an shuddered and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
There is thick snow on the ground, the sky is gloomy, and the ice field is deserted wherever you can see. The storm is roaring, swirling on the ice field, and the sky is covered with snow and fog. It is almost impossible to see what is there 100 meters away. what.
Shi An: "..."
When he was still a dragon, he was not afraid of the cold at all. After all, unlike humans, they must be kept warm to survive, and coupled with the thick scaly body, it would be no problem for him to roll on the highest snow-capped mountains.
But since becoming a human, there is no scale, no body that is not afraid of the severe cold, but the low body temperature of cold-blooded animals has been retained for some reason.
He, he is so afraid of the cold!
Shi An looked at Wang Li with tears: "You, didn't you mean that we are going to the Aiwen area?"
Isn’t Aiwen a valley like spring all year round? !
Wang Li nodded naturally: "Yes, Aiwen Xueyuan."
Shi An: "..."
He forgot that he had fallen asleep for too long, and the terrain of the entire continent became different from what he remembered!
Wang Li distributed the clothes that exerted the magical heat preservation to the team members, and then said: "It is very difficult to enter the mountains this season, especially at night. We will have a rest outside the mountain tonight and enter the mountain tomorrow morning."
The group walked deep and shallow towards the only hotel in the distance, leaving a long series of footprints on the thick snow.
Shi An shrank his head in the thick cotton clothes, his head drooping sadly.
Although it's better than before, it's still cold...
He sucked his nose, his ears and nose tip were red from the cold in just a few seconds, and his dark eyes were teary, looking so pitiful.
Chen Meng on the side said coldly: "You know how many snacks are packed, don't you know what to prepare to keep out the cold?"
As she said, she raised her hand and threw something over: "Next."
Shi An hurriedly borrowed and looked down.
It is a fluffy earmuff, pink, with a cute cartoon rabbit pattern on it, full of girlish hearts.
Chen Meng's tone was still blunt: "I have one more set, I will lend it to you."
Before she could wait to thank her, she turned around, quickened her pace to catch up with the people in front of her.
Soon, a group of five people walked into the hotel.
The inside of the hotel was brightly lit, the magic-powered fireplace was burned warmly, and the orange-yellow warm light enveloped the small storefront. It was completely different from the desolate and cold snowfield outside, as if it had entered another world.
Wang Li pulled off his gloves, turned to the front desk, and negotiated with the staff in a low voice.
The other four people waited in the waiting area.
The fireplace on the side crackled and sparks splashed around, but it seemed to have encountered some invisible barrier and disappeared before it was about to jump out.
The waiter brought warm honey water.
The warmth that had long since disappeared returned to the body again, and several people unbuttoned their coats to breathe. Only Shi An still wrapped himself tightly, as if it hadn't been relieved from the severe cold just now.
Zhao She asked suspiciously: "Aren't you a fire element?"
Shi An held the cup and said weakly:
"This doesn't conflict with my fear of being cold..."
At this time, Wu Huancheng on the side said: "The temperature outside the mountain is still high, the environment inside the mountain is harsher than here, and near this mountain, no natural flames can burn, only flames condensed by magic. That's all right."
Shi An took a sip of honey water, and his pale face was finally stained with blood after being steamed by the heat.
He asked curiously: "That's why you have to bring a fire system?"
"Not only that," Wu Huancheng shook his head: "Besides, there is—"
But before he finished speaking, Wang Li turned and walked over.
Different from the lightness just now, his face was ugly at this moment, as if a cloud of clouds hovered over his face.
Wu Huancheng stopped talking, stood up, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Li raised his hand tiredly and pinched the bridge of his nose, and took a deep breath: "I just talked to them a few more words when checking in with the front desk. The front desk said that there were basically no people in this season in previous years. I don't know why. This time, so many tourists came at once."
Several people were surprised: "What?"
Wang Li looked solemn: "A few days ago, a team of more than ten people also stayed here. It happened to check out and leave this morning, and it seemed to be heading into the canyon."
Wu Huancheng's expression also became ugly: "You mean..."
Wang Li nodded: "Yes, it is very likely that there are more than a few of us who know the treasure information, and it is obvious that they are one step ahead of us now."
"What are you going to do?" Chen Meng asked with a frown.
Wang Li seems to have already answered.
He gave a copy of the proof of entering the mountain to the four people in front of him, and then said: "Although it will be a little more dangerous at night, according to the current situation, we can't stay in the store and have to hurry up at night."
—Treasures, of course, the one who discovered who it was first.
The three were slightly surprised.
Wang Li said relievedly: "Don't worry, the fire system in our team is very strong, there should be no problem."
As he said, he turned his head to look at Shi'an: "You are right—"
I saw a young man not far away, as if struck by lightning, with a desperate expression: "Now, are you leaving now?"
"... Don't even eat dinner?"
The author has something to say:
—The strongest fire system says so.
