Chen Rui's expression was very serious, and he said, "Tomorrow morning, you will take the Wyvern and go to the green leaf forest for a while."
The Green Leaf Forest is a forest on the edge of the Xilang Mountains. Even a biped flying dragon that "sails" in a straight line will take several hours to fly there, so it is a relatively safe area.
Athena frowned: "What happened?"
That Lennon's strength is too terrifying, even if Chen Rui and Athena join forces, there is no chance of winning, so he wants to transfer Athena to a safe place first, and then try to cooperate with Lennon and Cooley without any worries. Asia dealt with.
Before leaving, Pagliu gave him a small bottle of venom, which is the kind of poison that killed Sandro. It is not convenient to use it under the current situation. If it is a last resort, he can only use extreme measures.
However, if you just spread it out like this, Athena will definitely not be willing to leave, Chen Rui thought for a while: "You know that I have the inheritance of a great master, and this is the reason for the irregular 'sleep' during this period. Starting tomorrow , the inheritance of the great master will enter a critical juncture and cannot be disturbed by anyone, so I hope you can accompany me to the Green Leaf Forest. This matter is related to my life, so it must be kept secret, and I will say to the outside world that I will go out for a while , Gade and the others are here, so there should be no problem."
Sure enough, when Athena heard that his life was at stake, she nodded without thinking, "Okay! I'll go with you."
Chen Rui temporarily made up a reason: "No! You go there first and make some preparations for me in advance. I will go to a few places alone according to the requirements of the great master, and then come to meet you as soon as possible. If I don't come, you must Can't leave the green leafy forest."
Although Athena felt that the reason for "preparing in advance" was a bit reluctant, but this matter was related to Chen Rui's life, so she agreed without hesitation.
"But if we leave, what will happen to the miners' food?" Athena suddenly thought of a question.
Chen Rui shook his head secretly: From what the thieves said, it is necessary to keep the miners to restrain and paralyze Darkmoon City. There is not much danger for the time being. On the contrary, he, the new mining officer, will attract the attention of the thieves. It will hurt the miners.
At present, due to the "ghost dragon", the thieves' attention has not had time to shift to the mining office. Once the storm in the main mine is resolved or faded, I believe that the Red Devils Thieves will definitely attack him, the mining officer. If there is a deliberate disappearance or suspended animation, not only the miners can restore temporary "safety", but they may even win by surprise.
Seeing that Chen Rui was silent, Athena thought he was a little dissatisfied, and quickly said: "How about this, I'll hunt some more prey for them tomorrow morning, and then go to the green forest to prepare everything you need, okay?"
Athena's bright eyes shone brightly in the darkness, Chen Rui couldn't bear to refuse, and nodded.
"Athena..."
"kindness… "
Chen Rui finally noticed Athena's uncomfortable appearance. To be honest, he was a big man, and he got into a girl's tent in the middle of the night. Although the situation was urgent, it did make people suspicious. Now that what should be said has been said, is it necessary to stay here with the cheek to say something that shouldn't be said
In fact, it’s not impossible to have a thick skin, but the time is running out now, Araux’s war contract is imminent, and a more terrifying "lazy" royal Lennon pops up, a little negligence, Little life is in danger. Let's talk about other things in a month.
It is your own, and it will be your own after all, and you can't escape.
Chen Rui exchanged a set of four bottles of eternal black potion and handed them to Athena.
"Drink these four bottles of potions. Remember, no matter what happens, you can't tell anyone."
Medicine is good medicine, and the words are true, but there seems to be a problem with this wording: whatever happens? Still can't tell people
—But Athena nodded in cooperation.
If it were a little Lolita, she would definitely suspect that it was "some kind of" potion, and this might be...why Alice is Alice, and Athena is Athena.
Chen Rui didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurried back to the tent on the mountain.
Seeing Chen Rui running away in a hurry, Athena was determined to "shoot" him out with a sword just now, but now her anxiety and nervousness were replaced by a strange slight dissatisfaction: Hmph, a man without guts!
Women are indeed the most contradictory creatures.
A conflicted woman gently touched the burning cheeks, picked up a bottle of potion on the ground, uncorked it, and drank it.
Early the next morning, Athena rushed to the tent on the top of the mountain and woke up Chen Rui who was in her sleeping bag.
"What kind of potion did you give me last night?"
Seeing Athena's surprised and excited appearance, Chen Rui smiled slightly. Happiness is indeed a multiplication. Two people are happier than one. Unfortunately, we can't let more people know this secret yet.
Chen Rui pointed to his head: "My grand master here is a master of both utensil making and medicine. The treasure he inherited, guess what it is?"
Although she was mentally prepared, Athena couldn't suppress the shock in her heart after receiving Chen Rui's confirmation: "Could it be, is it really eternity..."
"You have only absorbed part of the medicinal power at the moment. In the future, with the essence of the strength, the medicinal effect will gradually dissipate. After it is completely absorbed, there will be a kind of resonance, and the strength will be improved again." Chen Rui said naturally from experience, But he then solemnly warned: "This matter is too important. It is not only my life or death, but also the life and death of Dark Moon. You must not disclose it to anyone, including Alice and Princess Shia."
Athena naturally knows how much shock the appearance of the black potion will cause in the devil world, and also knows how precious the black potion is. In a sense, it even surpasses the devil fruit, and this human being, unexpectedly, did not hesitate. Take them all out for her to drink, and it's four bottles!
Athena's red eyes looked deeply at Chen Rui, pulled out her sword, and said, "I, Athena. Wells swears in the name of the family that I will never tell anyone about these potions!"
In fact, there was a paragraph behind this oath, but she hid it in her heart.
Although it is very difficult for a woman to keep a secret, Athena should be credible, as can be seen from the "poisoning" incident.
"I'm going hunting first." Although there were many questions she wanted to ask, Athena kept her promise of that month in mind, and without saying anything, she rode on the Wyvern and flew away.
Chen Rui called Gade over and said that there was something wrong with the poison technique he practiced, and he might have to be escorted back to Darkmoon City by Athena or find a place to recuperate, and the mining office entrusted him to take care of it.
Gade has long been dissatisfied with Chen Rui. The new human mining officer not only had a phone call training on the first day he came to the mine, but also made a meal of broth. Afterwards, he has been hiding in the tent to "practice poison". Miss Na is busy working, although she said she was entrusted by the mine officer, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is Miss Athena who is covering up for an irresponsible mine officer.
Now Chen Rui proposed to leave Athena for a period of time, which fell into Gade's arms, and he readily agreed.
While waiting for Athena's return in the tent, Chen Rui converted the waste mine obtained last night. The quality of the crystals on these waste mines is different, and the amount of aura they get is also different. The top layer provides the most aura, and the one obtained last night is obviously inferior. It seems to be related to the year, the more "fresh" the more aura, It is estimated that there will be fewer down, and so on.
So, where did this crystal come from? Four hundred years ago, underground monsters appeared, and this kind of waste mine also appeared. Could it be related to some kind of special monsters
The four bottles of black potion last night cost 400,000 spiritual energy, but it is not a pity to spend it on Athena's body, not to mention that there are still 320,000 yuan, plus a warehouse of waste mines.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the foot of the mountain, and Chen Rui immediately withdrew from the super system. As long as he didn't enter the training ground, he could still maintain a certain limit of perception of the outside world.
A miner hurriedly came up to report: "It's not good, Mr. Mining Officer, the Red Devil Thieves are here!"
Chen Rui was taken aback. Could it be that Lennon didn't keep his promise, but instead helped the Red Devils band of thieves make plans, all the way to the head of the Mining Office? But this is too fast!
Now that Athena has not returned, it is impossible to escape alone, so she can only adapt to the situation.
Without hesitation, Chen Rui opened his Analytical Eyes, and ordered Meng Da to be ready to watch for signals to respond, and asked Diu Diu, who had just returned in the early morning, to hide in the tent before walking down the mountain.
In front of the mining office, a large group of thieves blocked the exit. The thieves were dressed in leather armor, armed with weapons, and looked menacing. Judging from the formation, they were definitely not ordinary mobs. The miners were trembling with fright and concentrated in a circle. The only thing they could hold tightly was the pickaxe in their hands. The guards of the mining office also changed their expressions.
A tall and strong big demon came out and gave the miners a look of disdain: "My lord is Kuria from the Red Devil Thieves Group, who is the new mining officer, come out for me!"
The miners didn't dare to make a sound for a moment, Kulia sneered and said: "I'll give him a minute, if he still doesn't come out, I'll kill ten people first, and then I'll kill twenty more, until I kill all of you trash You should all know how many people I have killed, don't challenge your patience."
This threat made the miners restless, and Qiqi set his sights on Chen Rui who was beside Gade.
Chen Rui whispered to Gaide, "Tell Miss, wait for me at the appointed place", took a deep breath, and walked out slowly.
"I am."
"Are you human?" Kulia looked at the tense Chen Rui, and laughed wantonly: "It seems that there is really no one in the Dark Moon Territory, and you actually sent such an incompetent waste to come here?" Be a mine officer!"
This remark made many miners bow their heads in shame, and a few dared not speak out. Although this mine officer has no power, he never enforced any tasks and brought food to fill everyone's stomachs. boss.
Chen Rui's eyes were sharp, seeing that the row of thieves in front had already taken out their bows and aimed at him, he thought he was still afraid of his "poison technique", as long as Kuria gave an order, he would definitely shoot and kill him on the spot.
Chen Rui is not afraid of these bows and arrows. Analytical eyes show that Kuria's comprehensive strength is D-level, and his strength should be at least in the middle of a high-level demon. But what Chen Rui fears most is not Kuria, but the mysterious Lennon, The most terrible thing is that after "Dark Will" uses teleportation once, it takes 24 hours to recover its power and use it again!
"Our Red Devils Thieves Group would like to invite the Mining Officer to be our guest at the station. I don't know if the Lord will show you some face?" Culia called the Lord, but his tone was unabashedly contemptuous, waiting for Chen Rui to say "no". Immediately ordered to shoot arrows to kill.
The human mining officer hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "I'll go with you, but you can't hurt my subordinates."
As soon as this sentence came out, the miners felt ashamed again, and even Gade showed shock.
"Okay." Culia was slightly surprised, and thought to himself that the person who caught the living should have more credit. Anyway, as long as the person is in his hands, isn't life as he pleases
Kulia was about to order his subordinates to take Chen Rui away, when a lazy voice rang out: "Wait!"
