Chapter 22: Into the Flaming Mountains
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ruined city, the bustling carriages, and the crowd left with a clamor and marched towards the fortress city of Spark City.
On the other side of the city gate, there is the road to the Flame Mountains, during this time period, no one usually gathers here, and the Flame Mountains at night will be more dangerous, this is the time for the activities of Warcraft, especially powerful Warcraft, once they encounter them, it is difficult for even powerful people to defeat them in their home field. At the same time, the aftermath of the battle will attract the surrounding monsters, although the monsters usually do not unite as one, but in the face of human invasion, they will also cooperate temporarily, and if they are surrounded by monsters, it is even more difficult to escape.
At this time, a team of about 8 people gathered here, and if you look closely, there are Hu Li and Yan Lao, and beside them, there are three men standing solemnly. Not far from them, two men and a woman stood at random.
"It's too much to ask me to go on a mission with these inferior mercenaries. The charming-looking woman looked at the Huli people not far away and said disdainfully.
"That's it, that is, if it weren't for the president's request, we wouldn't have cooperated with these mercenaries. A thin man with a slightly obscene appearance stared at the woman tightly and agreed.
The woman crossed her hands in front of her chest and looked at the man staring at her in disgust: "Who is with you, stay away from me, and carry out tasks with people like you, I am really unlucky." ”
"You stinky, if you weren't a little bit beautiful, you think I would still pay attention to you, uncle!" replied unceremoniously, his eyes constantly sweeping the woman's body, making his face a little red.
Facing the aggressive gaze of the thin man, the woman felt a wave of nausea: "I don't want my eyes anymore, get out of my way!" With a wave of her hand, a strong wind burst out from in front of her, heading towards the thin man.
The thin man laughed dryly, his body changed, and his clothes were punctured. Black hair grows on its body, lying on the ground, a long white tail grows from behind it, and its face has changed to that of a mouse. It's like a large rat lying on the ground. The wind blew, but the force was scattered by the hair, and could not be moved.
"Stinky, tonight I want you to know how strong I am, uncle. A sharp and unpleasant voice came from the mouth of the "mouse", and with a kick of his front foot, he rushed towards the woman, as if trying to overwhelm her.
Seeing that the previous attack had no effect, the woman's face remained unchanged, and she snorted coldly, wanting to make the "mouse" suffer a little. As if sensing something, it dissipated the condensed magical energy.
When the "mouse" saw that the woman did not move, her eyes turned even redder, and she wanted to pounce on her. Just as they were about to touch, a figure quickly flashed from the side, and a fist covered in flames blasted out, and the "rat" was unable to dodge, and was repelled for a short distance, and two deep ravines appeared under his legs.
"Quick rat, what did I just say, Miss Feng is the president's guest, don't go too far. "Looking at his appearance, he is the man who fought with Huluoshui that day.
"I'm also kind, I want to try Miss Feng's strength, if my strength is not enough, go back early, I can still leave a life, Li Dashao don't be angry. As he spoke, his movements were not slow at all, and he jumped and widened the distance between him and them.
"Miss Feng is the president's honored guest, if you have any crooked thoughts, I will not spare you. ”
"Yes, yes, everything is up to Li Dashao's orders. The rat made that nasty sound. This woman actually let Li Kaiyan maintain it so much, and it seems that she will not provoke it in the future, but it is a pity that she has such a superb product.
Li Kaiyan is the Li Da Shao in the mouth of the fast rat before, he is the son of Li Gu, the president of the Adventurer Trade Union Branch, his ability is [Flame], and his strength in the Tianyan City Branch can also be ranked in the top 10, strong strength, and the son of the president, so everyone calls him Li Da Shao.
Li Kaiyan saw that he had calmed the crooked thoughts of the fast mouse, so he turned his head and hugged his fist at the woman and said: "Obviously, I asked Miss Fengming to help, but I was almost injured by my own people, and it was the poor discipline of the trade union that made the girl smile." ”
"It's okay, I came because I was interested in this task, and I would like to thank Li Dashao for coming to protect the little girl. Feng Ming smiled.
Originally, Li Kaiyan would not join this mission, but it happened that Feng Ming saw the mission information book, and then expressed interest and wanted to join. In order to protect her safety, Li Gu temporarily let Li Kaiyan join.
"Miss Fengming still calls me by name, I can't stand it. Li Kaiyan said with some embarrassment.
Feng Ming covered his mouth and chuckled: "Brother Li is modest." ”
Li Kaiyan shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's meet them first, there may be some things to arrange." ”
Li Kaiyan nodded when he saw Feng Ming, looked at the fast mouse lying on the ground cautiously behind him, and said coldly: "You come over too, don't forget what I said." ”
"Naturally, naturally. Saying this, the body of the fast mouse changed, and it changed back to the previous appearance of the lewd man.
Feng Ming's face suddenly turned red, and he scolded: "You disciple, why don't you wear clothes!"
It turned out that after the transformation, the clothes on the fast rat's body were torn, and only a few scattered rags were still hanging on his body. The fast mouse was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Is it possible that Miss Feng is still unemployed?"
Feng Ming's face turned red again, and the energy had already condensed around him, and before he could attack, a red figure had already burst into front of the fast mouse. With a single punch, the flames erupted, and the air around them seemed to become drier, and objects wrapped in flames were knocked out of the flames. It turned out to be the previous "mouse", and after landing on the ground, it kept rolling on the ground, as if it was burning in pain by the flames.
"Rat, I know you're resistant to flames, and flames of this temperature can't help you. If it weren't for the next mission, no matter how high your fire resistance is, I can scorch you from the inside out. ”
The "mouse" stopped rolling, "Li Dashao, don't be angry, I will definitely not provoke Miss Feng again." ”
The flames around him dissipated, and the fast rat also changed back into a human form, and with a touch of the ring in his palm, he took out a black trench coat from it, and draped it on his body like this, not daring to speak.
The three of them came to Huli and his party.
Li Kaiyan clenched his fists and said, "Lord Yan, President Huli." Chairman Li Gu sent the three of us to participate in this mission. ”
Both nodded. Then Hu Li looked at Feng Ming behind him, seemed a little surprised, and said, "Li Gu actually sent you." Who is this girl?" Li Gu said that the good people had changed two, and there was also a woman who had never seen before, Hu Li looked a little surprised.
"This is ............" Before Li Kaiyan could finish speaking, Feng Ming interrupted him: "Brother Li, let me introduce it myself." ”
"Little woman Feng Ming, I have seen President Hu Li and Elder Yan Shi. Feng Ming Yingying saluted, and then said, "Elder Yan Shi is really as old and strong as his father said. ”
"Oh, who is your father?" asked Elder Yan when he saw her say this.
"Grandfather Kazekawa. Although there was no change in tone, Feng Ming could hear a hint of pride.
When the fast mouse heard this name, his body suddenly cooled, Feng Chuan, isn't she the president of the adventurer's union? She is actually the granddaughter of the president, so didn't I just ............
Yan Lao's face was a little more surprised: "You are Fengchuan's granddaughter?"
"Yes. Feng Ming said with a smile, "I often hear my grandfather mention interesting things about being with you at home, and your amazing [Space Blockade] is also full of praise from my grandfather." I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Recalling the experience when he was young, Elder Yan also smiled and touched his beard: "At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I also did a lot of crazy things with your grandfather, but unfortunately I ...... later. Alas, don't mention it. Wind - Tea ......"
"If Grandpa Yan doesn't mind, just call me a wind girl. Feng Ming thought about getting closer to Yan Shi and said this.
"Haha, okay. Wind girl, did you come to Tianyan City for something?"
Feng Ming's eyes changed slightly, but he smiled: "Feng Girl is just practicing in the kingdom during the holidays." ”
"Well, young people should be more aggressive. Yan Lao said.
Feng Ming smiled, but didn't speak.
Li Kaiyan on the side saw that the two were finished chatting, so he said, "Elder Yan, President Huli, when will we leave?"
Hu Li glanced around casually, but didn't see the person he wanted to see, and said, "Wait, there is still one person who hasn't come." ”
Li Kaiyan nodded and stood aside.
The orange-red remnant sun half-hung on the horizon, and the afterglow faded. The darkness gradually spreads, enveloping the sky, about to swallow up the last rays.
Long Ling was running towards the meeting place in a hurry.
I, Cao, actually forgot that there is still this matter, it will be too late!
It turned out that Long Ling had been going around and around in Yuyan City for a day, and he actually forgot to participate in the mission and returned to Spark City with the team. It was only halfway through the road that he suddenly remembered, so he left the convoy and rushed towards the meeting point.
The last light in the sky had disappeared, the sky had completely darkened, and Long Ling had finally arrived at the meeting point.
As soon as he rushed out of the city gate, he saw a bonfire, and Hu Li and others were sitting cross-legged on the side. Long Ling walked up to them, spared his head in embarrassment, and said, "I'm sorry, President Huli, I'm late." ”
Hu Li smiled and said, "It's okay, I originally had to wait until it was dark before setting off." Then he turned his head and asked Yan Lao, "Yan Lao, can you go?"
Elder Yan closed his eyes and nodded.
Hu Li stood up and said, "Guys, it's time to enter the Flame Mountain Range. Although this mission is led by Elder Yan, please be careful and complete your own tasks. If someone wants to make trouble, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. Although these words seem to be spoken to everyone, they actually stare at the fast rat standing behind them all the time. The people in the Mercenary Guild are all the backbones of his hand-picking, so naturally there is no need to worry, Li Kaiyan also has a good relationship with Huli, and he will not make any trouble, while Feng Ming is a member of the Adventurer Guild, but his father has an unusual relationship with Yan Lao, so there is no need to worry. So the only thing that needs to be warned is the fast rat with a bad reputation, and there are rumors of killing teammates for exclusive gain. However, the fast mouse was teased by himself from the beginning, and the daughter of the president of the adventurer's union was apprehensive, and he didn't dare to have any crooked thoughts, so he nodded again and again under Hu Li's gaze.
When Hu Li saw his reaction, he didn't say much, and after Yan Lao stood up, he led the team towards the mountain range.
Long Ling followed the team, but he didn't find Hu Luoshui's figure.
It seems that Hu Li did not agree to Hu Luoshui to participate in the mission, and this task does not seem to be as easy as he said. I'm going to have to get ready for the road too.
The group was led by Hu Li and Yan Lao, and Li Kaiyan was at the back of the team. Long Ling stood at the back, constantly looking around, looking a little excited.
As the team headed towards the Flaming Mountains, a black-robed figure appeared from the city, and she glanced at the team that would disappear from view, hesitated slightly, and followed the team in front of her.
