After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

Chapter 35: For me?

Views:

"Report sir, the trapped students have been successfully rescued!" Wen Yao reported cleanly.

Behind her are the four of Wang Li.

They looked particularly embarrassed, and their clothes were still splashed with frozen blood clots, but fortunately they were only frightened and not injured.

Mu Heng wrapped his body full of cold air and walked forward, a pair of cold blue eyes drooping slightly, and his gaze fell on the four people in front of him.

The invisible pressure is approaching, pressing heavily on the shoulders of the few students in front of them.

They swallowed their saliva involuntarily, and had difficulty breathing.

Even though they were trapped in the mercenary's hinterland just now, none of them felt so restless.

This... Is this what it feels like to be caught

Suddenly, Chen Meng let out a low exclamation: "Shi'an!"

The others were taken aback and looked up.

The young man was standing not far from Mu Heng with his head and his head, his face flushed with cold, and he looked pitiful.

It is of course happy that the disappeared companion is safe, but...

… How many pieces does a person have to wear to wrap themselves into a ball

Several people slowly showed the same subtle expressions.

"Let's talk about it." Mu Heng's voice was low and light: "Why do you guys go up the mountain this season?"

The four of them looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

Officer Mu is different from those mercenaries. Traveling during the school year is a lie that can be pierced in front of the opponent.

But... Do you want to tell the truth

Wang Li gritted his teeth and fell silent.

Unexpectedly, Mu Heng did not ask.

He beckoned to Wen Yao: "Allocate a tent to them, provide dinner, and rest for half the night."

However, before a few people breathed a sigh of relief, only Mu Heng continued to say: "Early tomorrow morning, send them down the mountain."

Wang Li was surprised: "But...!"

He raised his head to meet Mu Heng's gaze, and swallowed the second half of the words stuck in his throat.

Mu Heng retracted his gaze: "Go out."

Even if they were unwilling, the four of them could only salute Mu Heng, and then followed Wen Yao out.

Shi An tiptoed up, preparing to take the opportunity to sneak out together.

But before he walked a few steps, he felt that his collar was caught.

Shi An: "..."

He turned his head, and what caught his eyes was Mu Heng's quiet face, his silver-white eyelashes drooping, and his voice was cold:

"What are you doing with the past?"

Shi An: "...… …"

The figures of the four Wang Li had disappeared from the field of vision, and only him and Mu Heng were left in front of them.

Mu Heng lowered his eyes and looked in front of Shi'an as if he had done something wrong and was caught.

"Why would you follow them in?" He frowned, his expression cold.

Shi An raised his head: "?"

Eh

This sentence sounds like the other person feels that he was tricked into...

The young man raised his head, his dark eyes were puzzled, and he seemed particularly ignorant and innocent.

Mu Heng's gaze stayed on the plush bunny earmuffs worn by the other party for a moment, the original questioning stopped at his mouth, and finally he didn't say anything.

"Is your health better?" he asked.

It took Shi An a few seconds to react. The other party was talking about his previous hospitalization.

Although he didn't know why Mu Heng suddenly changed the subject, he still replied obediently: "It's better."

Mu Heng glanced up and down Shi'an, and landed on the three layers inside and outside of the boy's body, on the tightly wrapped cotton coat.

Suddenly, he subconsciously remembered that in the hospital that day, the other party was shivering and holding his arm and not letting go.

Mu Heng: "So afraid of the cold?"

Shi An nodded honestly: "I'm so scared."

"Since you are so afraid of the cold, what are you doing in the mountains this season?" Mu Heng raised his eyebrows, his expression still cold.

Shi An: "..."

If it weren't for the treasure, he wouldn't come to this cold ghost place!

At this moment, Wen Yao opened the curtain and walked in.

She said: "The students have already arranged, and the mercenaries who are running away are all controlled by us. One of them seems to want to be able to talk to you in person. It seems that he has the information you need."

Mu Heng nodded and walked out.

After two steps, he stopped, took out a slap-sized ball from his pocket, and threw it to Shi'an.

Shi An hurriedly borrowed.

The ball hit his hand heavily, and even through the thick woolen gloves, he could still feel a continuous and steady heat radiating into his palm.

He looked down.

It was a light red sphere, shining brightly in the dark, looking warm and round.

This, this is... Fire gem!

Shi An held the gem in front of him, his eyes widened slightly.

Legend has it that there are precious gems containing ancient fire elements. Even a small piece, as long as you put it around, the energy will continuously radiate heat outward.

Even in Shi'an, there were only two pieces in the cave, and they were all about the same size as the one in his hand.

Almost just for an instant, Shi'an felt the warmth of her frozen fingers.

He blinked, looked up at Mu Heng's back, and asked hesitantly:

"Send it to me?"

Shang Shian thought that the shiny silver bracelet was for him.

But in the end it was discovered that it was actually a testing instrument, which disappointed him for a long time.

"Ok."

Mu Heng paused, and said lightly: "Take it."

After speaking, he opened the curtain of the tent and walked out.

Wen Yao followed Mu Heng's side and couldn't help but turned his head and glanced behind him.

The curtain of the tent fell, covering the figure of the young man in it.

After all, she didn't hold it back, and hesitated to speak: "Um... Sir, isn't that gem a gift from the governor of the Irvine area?"

Mu Heng went in a hurry this time, so except for a few cronies, the rest did not take it.

This time the search team was basically members of the local administration, and all the materials and equipment were provided by the Aiwen District Administration Branch.

Because of Mu Heng's identity, the other party naturally flattered him in every possible way. In addition to the necessary action supplies, he also collected a lot of precious treasures to protect him from the cold and sent it over. This fire gem was one of them.

—Except for this gem, Mu Heng left nothing, and directly returned the other things.

Mu Heng lowered his head and glanced at Wen Yao, and said lightly:

"I do not need."

Mu Heng was telling the truth.

Contrary to the cold and cold appearance, his body temperature has always been very high, and he almost never fears the severe cold. Even if he comes to this canyon for missions, he wears nothing more than a slender windbreaker. He is the only team in the whole team. Lightly packed and simple.

Wen Yao endured forbearance and swallowed back the question in his heart.

Since you don't need it, then accept it at the beginning, is it just to resell it now

Wait, isn't it true

Wen Yao was taken aback, but he stopped subconsciously.

Finding that Wen Yao was gradually falling behind, Mu Heng turned his head to look:

"what are you waiting for?"

The man with silver hair and blue eyes in front of him almost merged with the blizzard raging behind him, looking alienated and indifferent, like an impersonal ice sculpture.

Wen Yao shook his head, dangling thoughts that shouldn't have appeared in his mind.

She must have been thinking about it, probably just a coincidence.

She reformed her mind and hurried a few steps: "It's nothing, sir."

Inside the tent.

Shi An cherished the fire gem in his hand, the red of the gem reflected in his wide-eyed eyes.

"It looks so good..."

What a beautiful and warm fire, so vividly solidified in the gems, it is a perfect combination of Shi'an's two favorite things.

Shi An took off his gloves, put the gem into his pale palm, and narrowed his eyes contentedly.

Most importantly, it is so warm again!

At this time, the demon worm that was shrinking in Shi'an's sleeves and pretending to be dead finally came out and said quietly, "Is the man gone?"

Shi An: "Yes."

He threw off the two imprisoned jackets from his body and carefully stuffed the fire gem into the innermost pocket. After confirming that it was close to his chest, he radiated warmth, and then Shi An turned and left the tent. .

He asked a few people for directions, and finally found the tent where Wang Li was in.

As soon as Shi An entered, he was surrounded by the four people.

Wang Li and Zhao She looked at him worriedly: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"When I met the skeleton horse before, you were gone as soon as I turned around. I was really scared by you again." Wu Huancheng said.

Chen Meng frowned. Although there was still concern in his eyes, he said stiffly, "Where have you been? Don't you know if others are worried?"

Shi An said that he lost his way in the heavy snow, and then ran into Mu Heng while wandering in the snow.

He didn't blink his eyes, as if he hadn't concealed any key details.

After confirming that nothing happened to Shi'an, everyone was relieved and sat back by the fire again.

Zhao She leaned in and told Shi'an vividly that they were trapped in the enemy's battlefield, and then he said again about the accidental rescue by the skeleton horse.

"This kind of thing is simply too bizarre..." Wu Huancheng sighed and shook his head: "Even if I think about it now, it feels like I'm dreaming..."

"So, why did the skeleton horse let us go?" Chen Meng frowned and said with a puzzled look.

It stands to reason that the monsters of the dead species will attack all the living creatures in front of them, just like when they met on the mountain road. When he was in the mercenary camp before, he was very sure that the skeleton horse saw them. , But as if he was scrupulous about something, he turned around and left.

Does the necromancer actually have any scruples? how is this possible

Zhao She shrugged and gnawed a piece of bread carelessly: "I know, anyway, I can get rid of it."

Shi An chewed and nodded in agreement, and said vaguely: "That's it."

"However, there is something that makes me hard to forget." Wang Li suddenly said.

Several other people looked at him together.

"The mercenary said when he saw the map, did you guys also come for the dragon?"

Wang Li frowned, showing an incomprehensible look.

… Ok

Shi An who was inexplicably cue swallowed the food in his mouth and raised his eyes to look at Wang Li.

"But, isn't the dragon extinct?" Zhao She was also taken aback.

Wu Huancheng added: "Not only dragons, all fantasy species have been extinct."

"Does the elven ruins we are going to have anything to do with dragons?" Wang Li guessed.

Everyone looked at each other: "I don't know..."

"Oh, but it's useless to say anything now." Zhao She shook his head and sighed: "Now we are going to be sent down the mountain by Chief Mu soon, and next year will be next year at the latest."

"Yes… "

Wang Li: "But fortunately, the mercenaries are also under control. Although we can't enter the mountain in winter, other people can't enter either. At most, we will wait another half a year. The remains are still ours."

"Yeah yeah."

"Speaking of which, where did Shi An go?" Chen Meng suddenly realized something and looked up.

"I just went out halfway through." Zhao She didn't take this to heart: "What are you worried about? This is Chief Mu's camp and nothing will happen."

Chen Meng nodded and let out a long sigh of relief: "That's what I said."

The other side.

Shi An took out the tent and, relying on his innocent face, quickly asked Mu Heng where he was going now.

"Big, sir," the demon worm suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart: "What do you want to do?"

Shi An said confidently: "I heard Wen Yao in the tent just now that there is a mercenary who wants to talk to Mu Heng... He must know something!"

He originally wanted to come here to see if he could collect some treasures, but he didn't expect that this place is actually related to dragons

Devil: "Wait, you, you don't want to continue with Mu Heng, do you?"

Oh, it doesn’t want to be frozen anymore!

Shi An: "Of course!"

The devil tried to struggle: "Aren't you getting your favorite gem now? Why don't you just..."

Shi An touched his chest.

The fire jewel was staying there, radiating warm heat.

Shi An thought for a while: "It's different."

Before I knew the news, it didn't really matter if I didn't go down the mountain.

But now, no matter whether that dragon refers to himself or not, he absolutely cannot ignore this crucial information.

After all, it might have something to do with the treasure that disappeared!

"Moreover, its heat is average!" Shi An thought for a while and said.

The devil was taken aback: "Huh?"

It was unbelievable: "There is something warmer than fire gems? Impossible."

Shi An nodded seriously: "Really!"

In the hospital that day, he held it in a dream!

It was warm and hot, even the fire gem was inferior to it.
