Shi An stood there, looking around blankly.
The bottom of the canyon was silent, only the struggling leg bones in the hand rattled, and a small cluster of orange flames burning at the top seemed particularly abrupt in the darkness.
At this moment, a loud shout came from behind: "Who is there!"
Shi An turned his head and followed the sound.
I saw a few men in mercenary uniforms surrounding him.
The leader looked up and down at the young man alone in front of him, and asked, "Shian?"
Shi An tilted his head suspiciously: "Do you know me?"
"Of course."
The man chuckled, revealing his teeth stained yellow, his eyes sunken in his eye sockets gleamed: "Let's go, I'll take you to see your companion."
As he said, he started to pull the boy's arm.
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him looked so weak, but... he tugged but he didn't tugged.
The mercenary frowned and turned to look over.
The boy’s face was red from the cold, the pinkish white fluff on the rabbit’s earmuffs fluttered in the cold wind, and his beautiful round eyes were dark and moist, and they looked harmless to humans and animals. He sucked his nose, and his soft voice was heard by the wind. Cover up, it sounds a bit unreal:
"I do not believe you."
The mercenary is a bit annoyed.
He raised his eyebrows, subconsciously increased the strength of his men, and his tone became tough and unceremonious: "You don't want to toast or punish..."
Shi An frowned: "You hurt me."
"Little friend, you'd better follow me obediently, or wait a while when you hurt—" The mercenary grinned, his eyes gleaming fiercely.
The others burst into laughter.
In the dark night, the young man looked over with pitch-black eyes, amidst the chaotic blizzard, some inexplicable inexplicable.
Don't know why, the mercenary suddenly panicked.
He frowned in anger, as if in order to conceal the fact that he was actually scared by a child, his strength increased a bit with revenge, and he shouted rudely and viciously: "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I gouged your eyes? "
Suddenly, the boy raised his hand with cute plush gloves and landed lightly on the man's arm.
His palms are not big, and he is even petite compared to a man's muscular arms. He doesn't even feel much weight when he puts it on, like a snow falling silently and quietly.
At that moment, the mercenary suddenly felt cold behind his back and his whole body stiffened.
The sense of danger came fiercely, and came quietly, like a beast in the dark night with its fangs sticking to its face, and it was too late when it was discovered.
Next second—
"Crack."
A crisp bone crack sounded in the deadly snowy night.
In an instant, everything was quiet.
The mercenary didn't even react.
He looked down blankly, and saw his arm twisted in the opposite direction. The human heart from the apparently abnormal angle was cold. Then, a sharp pain came and a sharp howl. Breaking through the throat: "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
The others were stunned. They didn't expect that the young man in front of them would be so vicious when they shot.
Shi An rubbed the place where he had been caught just now and complained:
"I said you hurt me."
His voice was soft, as if acting like a baby.
But no one can forget that the other party broke the arm of a mercenary several times stronger than himself in this way, and the look on his face didn't even change a bit.
The other people reacted immediately, and they looked at each other solemnly and assumed a fighting posture.
The seemingly harmless teenager in front of him is definitely a ruthless character, much harder to deal with than his companions.
Shi An raised his eyes and looked thoughtfully at the murderous several people in front of him.
He blinked, his eyelashes were wet with snow, and they looked dark and shiny in the night, like a crow feather:
"It seems that you should know the whereabouts of my companion?"
The young man raised his eyebrows and showed a particularly harmless smile:
"Tell me, OK?"
Wang Li and the other three team members sat in the mercenary tent.
The charcoal fire driven by magic warms the small tent, like a small haven in the snowy night.
But in this precious warmth, everyone seemed uneasy.
There are mercenaries patrolling outside the tent, and they are always guarded here, and they are not given any possibility to escape.
An hour ago, they had just negotiated with the leader of this team of mercenaries.
The other party seemed to be dubious about the excuse of studying and traveling, but they couldn't find the loopholes for a while.
During the confrontation and greetings, Wang Li revealed a little bit of the family power behind him.
However, it is difficult to say whether it works or not.
In the face of absolutely great interests, all scruples will disappear.
Moreover, because the itinerary is confidential, they did not apply for filing with the school this time, which means...
Once these outsiders discover this, it is possible to conceal the treasure information and attack them.
Although they are the best in their respective fields, they will not lose to anyone on the other side in the competition, but they are mercenaries who have fought with real swords and guns. They are also superior in numbers, and they may not be the enemy.
More importantly, Shi'an is still missing.
As a necessary fire element in the entire team, without him, even if they escaped from the mercenary camp, they would be unable to move.
"Captain, what shall we do next?" Zhao She approached and asked in a low voice in Wang Li's ear.
Wang Li looked down at the hot tea in the cup, and his glasses were covered with water vapor.
He shook his head silently:
"Wait."
Now there is no other way but to stand still.
The leader of that mercenary may have discovered that in their team, the whereabouts of the core fire element is unknown.
And among all the teams that came to the Canyon, the Fire Element in the team must be the strongest member.
So even if they really want to silence their mouths, out of caution, they won't find Shi'an again.
After all, they don't know how strong the opponent is, so they have to leave hostages to restrain each other.
"Why hasn't Chen Meng come back?" Zhao She frowned and asked.
The other people were also taken aback, raising their eyes to look at the only clock in the tent.
Just now Chen Meng left the tent to go to the bathroom, but strangely, nearly twenty minutes have passed, but he still hasn't returned.
Zhao She tentatively stood up: "No, I have to find her."
His brows are frowning, and he looks particularly irritable.
Wu Huancheng: "Wait, didn't the captain just say it? It's best not to conflict with these mercenaries at this point, or I'll go—"
Wang Li stood up: "Don't worry, I'll ask."
But before he could get to the door, the tent was suddenly raised, and a gust of wind and snow rolled in instantly.
More than an hour ago, he walked in with the mercenary leader they had just met, followed by the stubble man who talked to them in the canyon.
Wang Li stopped his steps and watched them vigilantly.
Immediately afterwards, a slender figure was severely thrown in.
It's Chen Meng.
She fell on the ground, her hair scattered, her breathing was short, half of her face was swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bloody.
"Smelly bitch." The man Hu Zhu spit with bloodshot eyes. His hands were trembling. The three fingers behind him had disappeared. There was still bruise from frostbite in the wound, which looked terrible.
Chen Meng adjusted her hair, raised her eyes and looked over.
Her eyes were very bright, gleaming like a sharp blade, and she laughed: "How about? Is the student girl still fun?"
Wang Li's expression was slightly cold.
Thinking of the other person's eyes looking at Chen Meng outside, he guessed nine out of ten of what had happened just now.
The leader said slowly: "Your companion hurt my person like this, you have to give an explanation."
Wang Li took a step forward, cleverly blocking Chen Meng's figure, and said neither humble nor arrogant:
"With all due respect, I am afraid that this time your partner deserved the crime."
After a brief stupor, Zhao She and Wu Huan rushed forward to lift Chen Meng up, and led her back vigilantly.
The scumbag man glared, and stepped forward angrily: "You fucking—"
The boss raised his hand and stopped the opponent's curse.
He snorted, and threw the backpack that he had been carrying in his hand. It was the backpack that Chen Meng carried with him. It had been torn into rags at the moment, and the contents dinged to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he knelt down and took out a map from it.
Wang Li's heart sank.
Chen Meng's voice choked slightly, gritted his teeth, and whispered behind him: "Captain, sorry..."
I saw the other party slowly unfolding the map, pointing at the note above with his index finger: "Study trip? Huh?"
He smiled contemptuously: "Unexpectedly, it's really not a human being to look like, but you are also here for the dragon?"
Wang Li was startled.
… Dragon? What dragon
This treasure... What does it have to do with the dragon
The atmosphere is tense and raging.
At this moment, a mercenary came in and said something in the ear of the boss.
The leader laughed: "Really? That fire element has been found? Yes, open the north gate and let them in."
Wang Li slowly clenched his weapon.
Oops.
It seemed that Shi An had been found, and their last scruples disappeared.
The leader released his hand, and the map fell lightly, lying on a spot of debris: "Take them."
The other people were also prepared for a long time. They drew out their weapons. The impact caused by the wave of magical power was roaring, and the surrounding area of the tent rose up. At this moment, a sharp neigh suddenly came from the depths of the snowy night, like a sharp blade instantaneously. Cut through the dead silence.
Immediately afterwards, there was a riot outside.
The boss was taken aback, the expression on his face immediately changed.
He remembered the voice.
This... This is clearly the sound of that difficult skeleton horse!
how is this possible!
Obviously he has set up a spell to cover the atmosphere outside the camp, and he also has the light spell that the necromancers fear most. How could that skeleton horse find their camp? !
Pieces of screams sounded in the snowy night, and the sound of four hoofs heavy on the ground echoed in the camp, like a urging drum, approaching straight in this direction!
"Quick! Ready to fight!" The leader drew his weapon and turned around—
However, before he could do anything, the tent in front of him was suddenly crushed from top to bottom.
Senbai's horseshoes were about the size of a bowl, and they smashed straight down.
Its body is still that huge and terrifying, and the black hole of the eye socket is shining with blue light, but I don’t know why, the tendon that was originally implicated on its body has disappeared, replaced by scorched black, as if burned. Burnt traces.
The skeleton horse snorted.
It stomped down fiercely, and the mercenary leader didn't even hum, and the skull was smashed directly.
His body convulsed for a while and lost its vitality.
"Run! Run!" Seeing that the situation is not good, the other people fled again and again.
Behind the Skeleton Horse is an empty night.
The storm it summoned had completely destroyed the entire camp, leaving only a mess, and heavy snow fell in the sky.
Wang Li gritted his teeth, chilling under the horrible aura of the opponent.
The mercenaries were dead and fleeing, leaving only the four of them confronting the terrifying necromancer in front of them.
The instinct to escape screamed in his head.
"Prepare..." His throat was sour.
I saw the skeletal horse stepped on the ground twice with its front hoofs and slammed its nose. The black eye sockets fixedly stared at the human in front of them for a few seconds, then turned around and ran in the direction where they came. , Quickly disappeared in the depths of the dark night.
The four stayed.
They stood in a mess and looked at each other.
… Just now… what happened
On the snow slope not far from the camp.
A small fire was burning, emitting warm heat.
Shi An curled up in front of the fire very afraid of the cold, shrank into a small ball, wearing three coats, his snow-white face was dyed a light red by the fire, and the deep black eyes reflected the jumping flames. .
Opposite him, the four mercenaries hugged each other tightly and leaned forward tremblingly in front of the fire.
The four of them were shabbyly covered with a coat.
The sad screams and the neighing of monsters echoed in the distant valley, which became a chilling background sound in my heart.
They trembled, unwilling to think about what happened in that mercenary camp.
They huddled together in horror, neither daring to be angry nor daring to speak, just wishing to pray that the other side would be able to see their cooperation and keep them alive.
Click, click, click.
The regular skeletal percussion sounds from far to advance and gradually amplify.
The scary skeleton horse appeared in the field of vision.
It hesitated to stop in place, watching the fire not far away that made it panic, and the human who dismembered it, violently snatched the leg bones, and reassembled it.
Shi An waved at it: "Come here."
The skeleton horse cautiously leaned forward and lowered his white head.
Shi An patted its head: "Nice job."
The remaining four mercenaries shuddered more severely.
This young man is so strong that he is completely out of the scope of human beings, and he is more like a monster!
Half an hour ago.
After they told all the information about the entire mercenary camp like a bamboo tube poured beans, the young man pondered for a few seconds and said, "Come over with me."
Immediately afterwards, Shi An took them to a piece of snow covered by the vast white snow, and instructed:
"Dig it."
"Um... what are we going to dig?" The mercenary whose arm was broken has completely lost his arrogance at the moment, and asked tremblingly.
Shi An shook the rattling leg bones in his hands: "This."
Four mercenaries: "...…… …"
They saw that the torch that the other party had been holding in their hands was actually a huge leg bone!
And... It's kind of like horse legs.
They swallowed hard, and suddenly there was an ominous premonition in their hearts.
The mercenaries did not dare to scream, but began to dig and dig in the snow. More and more skeletons appeared, and the shapes they formed became more and more familiar—
Grass! Isn't this the skeleton horse that kept their team in place for nearly a day! !
The skeleton horse lacking a hind leg struggled on the spot, making a sharp neigh, a dark fire burned in the black hole's eye socket, staring at the four humans in front of him.
The four mercenaries couldn't help taking a step back.
The memories of being crushed and beaten by this necromancer before revived, making them tremble in their hearts even now.
"Oh right!" Shi'an, who had been waiting not far away, seemed to think of something.
He patted his forehead and walked over.
The fierce skeleton horse fell silent as soon as it saw Shi'an, and the blue flames in his eyes jumped a little weaker, looking... as if he was afraid.
Shi An shook the leg bone in his hand, and the flame at the top of the leg bone went out immediately.
Immediately afterwards, he squatted down and set the leg bones in his hands to the skeleton horse: "That's it!"
Four mercenaries: "...… …"
They stared blankly at the unreasonable scene before them, and could hardly believe their eyes.
In the beginning, they could still deceive themselves, maybe they were wrong. How could that undead monster express fear for a human? But when they saw the skeleton horse attacking in the direction of the camp according to Shi'an's instructions, everyone lost their language function.
… This, is this the feeling of being refreshed in the worldview
Shi An stood up and stretched.
Upon seeing this, the skeleton horse took two steps back in horror.
Shi An said kindly: "Don't worry, I won't burn you this time."
He patted the horse's head: "Go ahead."
Skeleton Horse lowered his head, rubbed Shi'an's shoulder with his head, then slapped his nose, turned and disappeared in the blizzard.
The four weak and poor mercenaries looked numb.
Sometimes... Shocked and shocked... I get used to being shocked.
Shi An turned to look at them: "As for you—"
The four mercenaries shook all over, and looked up at the young man in horror, one by one, as if they had been beaten up.
"You can go, too."
Shi An said compassionately.
The reason why he wants the skeleton horse to replace him to save people is to prevent others from being aware of his true strength.
Now that the goal has been achieved, it would be troublesome to keep these few people, it is better to let them go and find a way out.
"Know what to say and what not to say?"
The teenager lifted up a harmless smile.
The four people in front of them were suddenly startled, and they smashed their heads quickly-even if they said it, some people would believe it!
An advanced undead species capable of summoning a blizzard can actually be driven by an ordinary human teenager... This level of nonsense will be put into a mental hospital after being spoken.
The four of them wore one overcoat and stood up awkwardly, looking at the three overcoats on Shi An with greedy eyes: "That... Excuse me..."
Shi An blinked, the humans and animals on his face were harmless: "What? Or do you want me to change my mind?"
"No no no no no no!" The mercenary in front of him shook his head frantically.
They maintained the funny posture of hugging each other, and ran in the opposite direction of Shi'an as if they were running away, so fast that it was suspicious whether they were being chased by some monster.
Soon, only Shi'an was left in front of the fire.
He stretched out his hand, roasted it in front of the fire, and then moved forward again.
Ah so warm, I really don’t want to leave...
He sniffed and sighed sadly.
Alas, for the treasure of the legendary elves, I still have to endure the severe cold and move on.
Shi An made enough mental preparations, then slowly laid out his clothes layer by layer, extinguished the fire in front of him, and then walked towards the camp.
You have to quickly join up with a few other people.
At this moment, Shi An noticed something wrong with fluctuations.
He was startled slightly, and turned his head to look in the direction where the fluctuations were coming from-it seemed to be a human, several people, none of them seemed very weak.
Is it the support of those mercenaries
At this time, Shi An heard a voice not far behind him.
"Reporter sir, the front is where the magic wave comes from."
This voice... seems familiar.
Shi An blinked, and the long-asleep memory was suddenly awakened.
Isn't this the young lady who took herself out of the dinner and gave him hot milk!
Wait, now that she shows up, then...
Shi An panicked.
Oops! If Liang Xiaoying finds out that he is here, then the plan to find the treasure will be ruined! ! !
Based on his understanding of that human being, the opponent will definitely drag him back to the academy! !
You have to run quickly!
Shi An hurriedly quickened his pace, walking forward with one foot deep and the other shallow.
Seeing that the camp of the mercenary was in front of him, the four large quilted jackets on his body seriously slowed down his progress.
In a misty blizzard, he was like a round ball, wading hard on the snow.
Behind, the familiar breath gradually approached.
Shi An was anxious, but he tripped under the thick snow.
Shi An: "!!!"
day!
Seeing that Shi'an was rolling down the snow slope, suddenly, a slender hand stretched out from behind and gently grabbed Shi'an's back collar.
Eh…
Shi An felt that his feet were hanging in the air, and his whole body was lifted into the air.
He struggled hard, but the four quilted jackets on his body hugged him like a shackle, making him look like a tortoise facing the sky, kicking helplessly.
He finally struggled in despair, but he could only flutter in the air, unable to get rid of the strength behind him.
Shi An: "..."
He turned his head slowly, and looked at the man behind him who was strangling the back of his fate.
I saw Mu Heng's eyes drooping, his silver-white eyelashes were covered with ice and snow of the same color. A pair of icy blue eyes fixedly looked over, and his eyes fell on Shi'an with no emotion, which was as pale as a blade. The thin lips were tightened and stretched into a straight line of unsatisfactory strokes.
Shi An greeted dryly:
"Okay... What a coincidence, hahaha."
Mu Heng's voice is low and the end is slightly raised, but there is not much pleasant emotion in his voice, with a trace of Sen Han that can freeze people to death:
"really."
The author has something to say:
This story tells us, don’t wear four big quilted jackets at once
