Ming Na let out a scream, and then there was a burst of pain. She fell to the ground. Fortunately, the grass in the forest was very thick. She was not killed by the fall, but the tips of the grass were covered with broken ice. It immediately seeped into her clothes, and she felt pain and cold all over her body.
At this time, there was a roar from the front. When she looked up, she saw a white light coming towards her. She was completely frozen and couldn't move. She thought she would definitely die this time, so she couldn't help but close her eyes tightly. Fortunately, she didn't feel the biting cold for a long time. When she opened her eyes, she just saw a thin blue light shield spread out in front of her, which was about to disappear. She turned her head to look in the direction of the beauty in white, and just in time saw the other person heaving a sigh of relief, and knew that it was the other person who saved her.
But it's too early to feel relieved now. Although the monster has been tortured to death by her fire poisonous juice and can only shake its body from side to side, and the spit it spits has lost its original strength, but she is too close, and it is still possible to be Hurt. She endured the pain in her body and tried her best to move back, just avoiding a few bits of the monster's saliva.
The monster seemed to be angry for her to escape. Its huge body swept suddenly, and then roared, and countless gravel and grass clippings roared towards Mingna. Mingna was so frightened that she fell to the ground with her head in her arms. A strong wind blew and many branches, mud and gravel hit her. She was so painful that she burst into tears.
The monster roared again, and Ming Na trembled, thinking that she was going to be hit by another round of branches and rocks. Unexpectedly, her eyes flashed, and she was hugged and jumped away. In the blink of an eye, she came to the edge of the clearing, and she The place where he originally lay down was already covered in frost. She looked back and saw that it was her grandfather who had saved her. She felt aggrieved and burst into tears: "Grandpa..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here." Xiao Tianjian patted his granddaughter's head gently, and without saying anything else, he held his sword in a tight formation to fight against her.
At this time, the situation in the forest was completely different. Twenty or thirty elves appeared around, attacking the injured monsters with bows, arrows or magic. Although most of the arrows had little effect, two of the red-black steel arrows penetrated deeply into the body of the monster. It struggled unwillingly, its movements became smaller and smaller, and gradually, it stopped moving at all.
Lucien pushed aside his companions and went forward to check. He pierced the eye of the monster with a long knife. When he saw that it was still motionless, he confirmed that it was really dead. He turned around to face a man with a majestic expression and a green wooden staff in his hand. He was obviously old. The larger elf nodded.
The elf breathed a sigh of relief and asked solemnly: "What's going on? Why did the patrol team let the monster in? Although it is an underage, it is not so easy to ignore. Fnoya and Ao Laura is in danger, but no one has discovered it for a long time. If Xue'er hadn't come to report the news, they would have been in danger."
The elves all lowered their heads, and the elf holding the staff asked the woman in black who had been helped over: "You are leaving the station, why don't you bring guards? The power of Warcraft will begin to recover as soon as the summer is over. Don't you know?" What would you have done if we hadn't arrived just now, or had arrived a little later?!"
The woman in black lowered her head after hearing this: "I'm sorry, father, I was negligent." After a pause, she raised her head again and said, "The human child just dropped a bottle of unknown potion on the monster, which seemed to have caused huge damage to the monster. The injury. Father…”
The eyes of everyone (elves) suddenly fell on Mingna. Mingna shrank into her grandfather's arms, holding on to his clothes tightly. Xiao Tianjian asked her seriously: "Ming Na, what did you drop on the monster?"
Minna replied in a low voice: "It's the fire poison juice, the leftovers from Grandpa Sennett..."
Xiao Tianjian's eyes widened: "It's in a bottle? You put the whole bottle..." Seeing his granddaughter nodding, he couldn't help but have the urge to look up to the sky and scream. That was enough to make twenty fire poison arrows, all of which were used in one For underage monsters, this is really... such a waste!
But he couldn't say much at the moment. After all, at that critical moment, it seemed unrealistic to ask a child to consider the weight of the poison. But such a young child actually dared to run deep into the forest to fight against the monster. She had no courage. too big.
"Ming Na, I remember telling you to stay in your room and study your homework in the morning. Why did you come here? And you brought such dangerous potions! You can leave dangerous things like dealing with monsters to adults. You What are you doing here?! Do you think it’s fun to be a hero?! Don’t do that again! Next time you see a monster, run away from me right away, do you hear me?!”
Ming Na bowed her head obediently and listened to the instruction, feeling a little aggrieved. She didn't mean to provoke the monster, she just followed Xiao La and happened to run into it. She was very brave just now. Why did grandpa scold her instead
She suddenly remembered what happened to Ludlow, so she secretly glanced at him and saw that he was sleeping in the arms of an adult male elf with his eyes closed. Except for his pale face, he seemed to be uninjured, and she was secretly relieved. tone.
The woman in black heard Xiao Tianjian's words and snorted coldly: "This child has some courage. You claim to be a hero, but you actually want others to be cowards? What an amazing way to educate."
Xiao Tianjian was a little embarrassed and couldn't refute her, so he turned around and asked the beauty in white: "Funya, are you okay? Are you injured?"
The beauty in white, Princess Fnoya, glanced at him meaningfully and shook her head lightly: "I'm fine. I only have some skin injuries, which are already healed." She turned back to the elf behind her and said, "Take someone to the town to see him. Look, it seems that the patrol has not appeared yet. I wonder if anyone is injured in the town. If anyone is seriously injured, please notify me immediately." The elf responded and called a few companions to rush towards the town.
Xiao Tianjian couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he saw that Funoa was either asking if the other elves were injured or checking on the half-elf child, completely ignoring him.
The elf holding the staff gently touched the ground under his feet with his wooden staff. When Xiao Tianjian turned his attention to him, he said: "It seems that the effect of the fire poison arrow is good. We don't need to argue anymore. I hope you will take the next action." Can you continue to assist us." Xiao Tianjian responded hurriedly, and the elf nodded and motioned for the others to leave with him.
Xiao Tianjian was about to step forward and say something to Fnoya, but was overtaken by her sister: "Sister, I didn't expect Ludlow to have such a talent. It's really a surprise. Let's take him back to the station to observe him for one night, so as not to Something happened."
Fonaya was a little surprised: "Is this okay? Mother said..." "Mother did say that non-elves cannot enter the residence." Princess Aurora smiled proudly, "But even humans can go in to discuss matters. Our children will stay for one night. So what? He saved us."
Fonaya smiled after hearing this, and asked other elves to pick up the child and leave. Xiao Tianjian was about to catch up, but Minna grabbed her sleeve: "Grandpa, it hurts..." Xiao Tianjian looked down at his granddaughter and was frightened. With a jump, Ming Na's whole body was covered in blood, and her right foot was slightly twitching. He couldn't care about anything else anymore, picked up his granddaughter and ran to Phantom Town.
Ming Na only felt that her body was getting more and more painful. In addition, there was a lot of ice in the forest, and the cold was getting heavier and heavier. She shivered slightly, and she didn't feel warm until she returned to the inn room. Grandpa found a large bucket of hot water, poured several bottles of potion into it, and let her soak in it.
Xiao Tianjian went to find medicine to cure the cold and asked his granddaughter to clean her body by herself. Ming Na took off her clothes and watched the large and small wounds on her body slowly heal under the immersion in the potion, and the pain gradually disappeared. She felt it was really magical. Could this be another medicine made by Grandpa Sennett
After taking a shower and putting on clean clothes, Mingna limped towards the big bed and lay down on it. Her body was limp and exhausted. She yawned and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already night. She found that the wounds on her body had been smeared with medicine and bandaged. There was a thick bandage on her right foot. It was warm and exuded a light fragrance. She didn't know what it was. medicine.
Xiao Tianjian was busy beside the bed, seeming to be packing something. Ming Na asked curiously: "Grandpa, what are you doing?" Xiao Tianjian turned around and smiled: "Are you awake? The rice is on the bedside table, it's still hot, eat it quickly. I'm doing it now Pack your bags, we’re going out for a few days.”
Ming Na, who was leaning towards the bedside table, was stunned when she heard this, and her mouth narrowed: "You are leaving me again!"
Xiao Tianjian said hurriedly: "I don't want to leave you. Grandpa is going to kill the monsters in the snowfield. Have you forgotten? Grandpa made those fire poison arrows just to kill them. The weather is getting cooler now. If you wait until winter, As their power increases, it will be harder to kill them, so you have to set out as early as possible. Think about the situation during the day, only one half-elf was injured today, but it will be hard to say next time. You don’t want people in the town to be killed by monsters, right?"
Ming Na tilted her head and thought for a while, thinking that she still liked this town and the half-elves quite a bit, so she nodded and said, "Okay, but I'm going too, and I won't cause any trouble to you."
"That's not possible." Xiao Tianjian was startled, "You almost died today. It was just an underage Warcraft. It's not always as good as today. Stay here obediently. You still have to Recuperate."
Mingna moved her hands and feet and found that it was a bit reluctant to walk a long distance in her own situation, so she had to agree, but asked her grandfather to come back as soon as possible: "Grandpa promised to go back in a month or two at most, but Grandpa Marshall is still waiting. As for us, it’s been a month and a half now, and grandpa can’t just keep his word!”
Xiao Tianjian narrowed his eyes and put on a fake smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back as soon as possible!"
After he left, he didn't send any message back for several days, but Ming Na inquired from Lao Qiao that things should be going well. It seemed that many snowfield monsters had been killed, and she felt relieved. For several days, she was forced to stay in her room due to her limited mobility and was unable to go out. Except for Old Joe and the half-elf boy Leif who occasionally came to chat with her, she could only read books or practice magic by herself.
She was somewhat surprised to find that her magic power seemed to have improved, but she had not practiced meditation for several days since she left the old magician's house. Why did her magic power increase instead
Puzzled, she stopped worrying. Seeing that her injuries were almost healed, she threw all the books aside and ran downstairs.
When she came to the restaurant downstairs, she was a little surprised to find that there were new customers in the store. Different from the half-elves, these people were strong and strong, and some of them had beards. Judging from their clothes, they should be the same as her. Human beings are somewhat like the mercenaries seen in the Qedon tavern, but for some reason, these people always give people a feeling that they are not easy to deal with.
They were gathering in the restaurant to drink and talk. It was a bit noisy, and the half-elves stayed away. Mingna cautiously approached the long table and said hello to Lao Qiao. The latter said happily: "Good day, little Mingna. Are your injuries healed?"
Ming Na smiled and nodded: "I'm fine now. Thank you Uncle Qiao for the medicinal soup. It's delicious." Old Qiao said cheerfully: "Are you hungry? Lunch will be ready soon." He turned around and filled a wooden bowl. When the hot soup came, it was full of mushrooms and plant tubers, and then I picked a bunch of red fruits on the window: "Here, this is your favorite, isn't it?"
Ming Na thanked her loudly, then took the fruit and ate it. While drinking the soup, she chatted with Lao Qiao about her grandfather. Old Qiao said with a smile: "A letter should have come back today. If there are no accidents, they should have killed all the monsters. Maybe before winter, we can go back to the place where we lived before to get some old things, no. Do you know if it’s still there now?”
"Where did you live before?"
"Yes, the place where we lived before was actually a secret gathering place for half-elves, but not many people lived there. It was where we stored our things." Old Qiao explained to Minna with a smile. She was confused, but suddenly she straightened her face and looked behind her: "What does this guest want?"
Ming Na turned around and saw that it was a mercenary who was leaning toward them. Joe noticed it and said sarcastically: "It's nothing... I think the soup is good. Can you give me a portion?"
"Wait!" Lao Qiao responded coldly, turned around and filled a basin and sent it over. When he put it on the mercenaries' table, he seemed to inadvertently knock the tree stump table next to him with his cigarette pole. Suddenly a big crack opened. While muttering that the wood was not strong, he glanced at a few mercenaries and then turned back to the long table.
As soon as he left, several mercenaries began to whisper, seeming to be very interested in the cracks on the tree stump table.
Ming Na asked Lao Qiao in a low voice: "Who are they?"
"A new human mercenary." Old Qiao curled his lips, "He is not an old customer. He probably asked others for tips. He came here by himself. He didn't understand the rules. He wandered around casually and even fought with the patrol team. One. It's because of them that the patrol didn't notice you were in danger in the forest on the day the Warcraft came." He took out a basket of apples from the kitchen and handed it to Ming Na: "Take these with you and the little prince. You don’t know what trouble will happen if you stay in the store, so you go out and hide and come back during dinner.”
Ming Na nodded in agreement. After finishing her meal, she picked up the basket and ran outside. Just after running a short distance, I was hit by something unknown on my calf. I felt weak for a moment and fell to the ground. Two apples rolled out of the basket. She got up and was about to pick it up, but someone got the apple first.
It was a middle-aged man, one of the mercenaries he saw in the store just now. He gave her a split smile, showing his blackened teeth: "Little sister, why are you walking so carelessly? Come on, come on, stop it quickly. alright."
Ming Na's heart was frightened. She took the apple carefully, thanked her, and wanted to continue walking forward, but was stopped by another mercenary: "Don't leave in a hurry. It's rare to see compatriots in a place like this. You You're also a human being, right? Let's chat with my uncles."
It was a man in his thirties, with a long and deep scar covering half of his face. He was holding a toothpick in his mouth and looked at her with a smile.
Ming Na was caught between the two men and was filled with fear.
