Although people in Zhidong have the habit of wearing such heavy cloaks, they will subconsciously take them off when they return to the house.
After all, there was a bonfire in the room, and wearing that thing would only get hotter.
He put the spicy food he got from Ye Lan into the pot, indeed to refresh her, but more importantly, he wanted to test her.
Under such spiciness, Tartaglia was sweating profusely, but he still refused to take off the heavy cloak. This only showed one thing - he was hiding something that Bai Luo could not see.
For example, wounds.
Dartalia, injured.
"Ahem..."
When the cooperative supply point completely disappeared from her sight, Tartaglia's originally rosy face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Amidst the violent coughing, Tartaglia's legs went weak and he half-knelt on the ground, barely able to keep his balance.
"He almost saw it."
With a wry smile on his face, Tartaglia slightly lifted his cloak and rolled up his sleeves.
The charred skin formed a sharp contrast with his pale face.
Why did he lose in the fight for the meatballs? Was it because Bai Luo was stronger
Not entirely.
Bai Luo, whose profession is black, is more proficient in assassination rather than strength.
In terms of strength, he was no match for Tartaglia when he used all his strength.
The reason why Bai Luo was able to win was entirely because Tartaglia was injured at the time, and it was a very serious one.
That charred wound didn't look like it was caused by fire, but rather... lightning
After covering the wound again, Tartaglia looked towards the direction of the cooperative supply point again.
While eating hotpot, he could feel that Bai Luo was always testing him.
The bad news is that the other party must have noticed his situation, otherwise, given his personality, he would not let him leave like this.
The good news is... Bai Luo didn't expose him.
With such a sharp intuition, this guy... ... is really scary.
Chapter 822 Let’s Go See Cole
The bonfire in the house had gone out, and apart from the steaming pot and unfinished food, there was no sign of anyone in the house.
In the dark night, the huge rock abyss with only the sound of wind gives people a creepy feeling.
Bai Luo did not follow Tartaglia to sneak into the Layered Abyss.
After realizing that his colleague had entered the abyss, he felt relieved and shifted his attention to the other side - Sumeru.
This was his second time in the Layered Abyss, and the last time he came was... the last time.
That time he originally wanted to stop by to see Cole, but he did not find the mark belonging to Cole within his perception range.
But this time, he sensed it.
After returning, he would go to Inazuma. He didn't know how long it would take for him to come back here again, so he decided to go see Cole.
However, he had no intention of using quantum teleportation.
The Layered Rock Abyss is close to Xumi, and Cole is near Daocheng Forest. Looking at the distance... it seems that it is not too far from the Layered Rock Abyss.
With his speed, it wouldn't take him too long to get there.
Bai Luo was a man of action, and after making the decision, he immediately disappeared, avoided the patrolling Qianyan Army, and rushed towards Xumi.
The jungle late at night is very dangerous.
Especially Daochenglin.
Here, ancient trees stand tall and block out the sun.
The swaying branches in the forest look eerie and mysterious. In addition to some carnivorous wild animals, there are also mushroom beasts that seem harmless but can actually be classified as elemental monsters.
In addition, there is a place called the Dead Zone.
The so-called dead zone is a strange phenomenon that occurs in some areas within the Xumi Territory. It has existed for thousands of years and is a manifestation of the disease of the World Tree.
It will not only cause plants to wither, but also take the lives of animals and humans. Only the original gods - those who can control the elemental power - can resist the erosion of the dead zone for a certain period of time.
Note that it is resistance, not ignoring.
Therefore, even if it is the original god, after entering the dead zone, he must govern the dead zone as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger.
In fact, not long ago, there was another dangerous existence in Daochenglin, and that was the Gilded Brigade.
However, due to some reasons, Daochenglin almost became a forbidden area for the Gilded Brigade. Even in Huacheng Castle, few regular Gilded Brigade were willing to be hired to garrison there.
Therefore, the task of guarding the city is now done part-time by the forest rangers.
This also means that the burden on the rangers' shoulders is heavier.
Even Cole, who had been only able to do odd jobs due to his demonic scale disease, once again took on the responsibility of patrolling the forest.
"Just sprinkle this powder and no bugs will come over at night."
After sprinkling the powder that Tinari gave him around the makeshift camp, Cole said to the little girl sitting next to the campfire.
Originally, she was planning to take the risk to clean up the dead zone, but unexpectedly she met this little guy in the woods.
The little guy called himself Nashita and came from Xumi City.
Based on her dress, Cole thought she must be from a wealthy family.
However, her family was quite generous and actually allowed a little girl like her to run to such a dangerous place like Daochenglin every day.
If she hadn't seen the Eye of God on her and hadn't seen her use elemental energy, she would have thought that the little girl was also a original god.
"Well, just like the mane tiger's feces can scare away mushroom pigs, and the elemental energy of real mushrooms can deter mushroom beasts, nature is so magical."
Nodding, Nashita spoke out.
"Uh...it's really a magical metaphor."
Touching his head, Cole said.
Could it be that all the wealthy people who have received education speak like this
"By the way, I brought some pocket biscuits, do you want some?"
After finishing his work, Cole remembered that after meeting the little guy, the other party didn't even drink a sip of water, let alone eat.
She should be hungry after following me for so long.
So she asked after taking out the food from the package she was carrying.
"No, I just want to stay by your side."
Shaking her head slightly, Nashita said, her well-behaved look made people feel a little distressed.
"How can that be possible? My teacher... one of my elders once said that children must have adequate nutrition, otherwise they will not grow tall."
Cole stuffed the biscuit in his hand into Nashita's hand, took out a bottle of milk, and gave instructions like a little adult.
Although she had left Bai Luo, she had never changed her habit of drinking a bottle of milk a day.
However, she rarely went to get milk from the hill people unless she was in the wild.
She now asks Mr. Tinari to bring it back from Xumi City.
"This temporary camp was built by the ranger's predecessor. You can sleep inside tonight. I will keep watch."
After giving all his dry food to Nashita, Cole went to the temporary shelter.
The so-called temporary shelter is nothing more than a small tent made of materials from the jungle. Although it is a bit simple, it can still provide shelter from wind and rain.
After entering the tent, Cole took away the worn-out bedding and replaced it with clean grass leaves.
After all, she is a city kid. Compared with me, she probably won't be able to accept such dirty bedding.
The grass leaves may not be as warm as bedding, but they are clean and tidy, which should make her more comfortable.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Perhaps knowing that her objection was useless, Nashita nodded obediently.
After Cole packed up the camp, she said good night and entered the temporary shelter.
Cole put more wood on the fire, pulled a notebook from his pocket, and began to read it attentively.
But as she watched, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and finally her body tilted and she was about to fall to the ground.
“Hua La La…”
The vines in the jungle gathered together and slowly pressed against Cole's side, catching her as she was about to fall.
In the tent, Nacita, who was supposed to be asleep, slowly opened her eyes.
There were bursts of green light in her eyes.
Unlike the green light of the wild beast, the light in her eyes was full of vitality, making people feel very safe.
After sitting up, Nashita... or the little girl who called herself Nashita did not look at Cole, but looked in another direction.
She could feel that outside Daochenglin, there was a special existence approaching here at a very fast speed.
The aura he exudes is very similar to Cole's.
No... ...it should be said that it surpassed Cole.
The warm feeling almost made her lose her balance and escape from this body.
"That is..."
After making sure that Cole was not in danger, Nashita slowly floated up and flew towards that special existence.
Chapter 823 Bionic Doll
"Um?"
As soon as he stepped into Daocheng Forest, Bai Luo seemed to realize something and quickly looked around.
Bizarrely shaped trees, lush jungles and the rustling sounds of insects make up this quiet, peaceful and harmless rainforest.
Well, at least in his eyes, there is no harm here.
But... ... he clearly didn't see anything
But what's with that feeling of being spied on
With a slight movement of his fingers, the steel wire spread silently in the night, passing through the jungle, branches, and even a not very deep puddle.
But the feedback from the wire told him that there were no prying eyes in all the places where things might be hidden.
But the feeling of being watched by something is getting stronger and stronger.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
But soon, this feeling of being spied on disappeared, and what appeared instead was an undisguised movement.
The sound of wind, branches swaying, and... the sound of breaking air!
This time, Bai Luo accurately captured the person who was rushing over, and if he guessed correctly, this person came from Cole.
Strangely, compared to the voyeuristic feeling he had felt before, the person who tried to approach him didn't have much malicious intent.
This way of moving, which did not conceal its own existence at all, was clearly reminding him that it was coming.
The steel wire was slowly retracted, and Bai Luo put the dagger back into his waist where it could be easily taken out, and waited quietly for the other party to arrive.
The green light was very conspicuous in the dark night. After approaching Bai Luo, the other party slowed down and finally fell to the ground. He stepped on the fallen leaves and walked towards him step by step.
When he saw the other person for the first time, Bai Luo was stunned.
"Bionic doll?"
Looking at the delicate child in front of him who looked like a porcelain doll, Bai Luo called out her true identity.
That's right, even though her appearance is almost the same as a real person, and her skin even looks somewhat elastic, she is a real person.
