Chapter 221: A Heavy Mission
Heavy mission
"Jingle ......"
"I'm a happy burrower......"
"Jingle ......"
"Even if there are difficulties and obstacles ahead. ”
"Jingle ......"
"What does it have to do with me, I'm a happy caveat, I don't have a way to drill holes and live ......"
Li Qi's intermittent "humming" sound was faintly heard in the pit, and fine stones were constantly thrown up, and then the kitten was forced to throw them elsewhere.
Xue Yan was holding Xiaolan in one hand, and constantly kneading it with the other, she glanced up casually and nodded with satisfaction: "Does he still look very relaxed!"
On the one hand, Xue Yu was meditating, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to her, if it wasn't for Xiaolan to accompany him, he was afraid that he would not be able to sit still for a long time according to his lively temperament.
She has no objection to her sister's decision, and she still thinks it's fun to be with Li Qi.
Xiaolan didn't resist Xueyan, but her constant kneading made it a little uncomfortable, and her small body kept struggling. When one person and one elf were having a good time, they heard a sound of gold and iron coming from the ground, and then Li Qi's soft sigh, and the sound of "clanging" stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Xue Yan quickly stood up, looking at the entrance of the cave, as if facing a great enemy, this is the dragon labyrinth, maybe any small change will be fatal.
Xue Yu, who was meditating, also opened her eyes unconsciously, and she didn't dare to leave the entrance of the cave for half a step.
The sound of Yi Yi rubbing slowly sounded in their ears, and then they saw Li Qi crawling up from below with a disgraced face, still carrying a gray thing in his hand.
Seeing that Li Qi was safe and sound, the sisters breathed a sigh of relief: "What happened, what is this?"
Li Qi came to the two of them, sat on the ground, and gasped: "Let me slow down first." ”
With a wave of her hand, Xue Yu condensed the water element into a ball of water and handed it to Li Qi: "Don't worry, drink saliva first." ”
"Can this thing be drunk?" Li Qi was startled, and tentatively leaned over and licked it.
"Nature is possible. Xue Yu gently brushed the hair that hung down to her ears: "What just happened?"
"Hmm, this. Li Qi kicked what he had thrown at his feet, clumsily putting his mouth on top of the water balloon. "What is this?" said Xue Yu, leaning down, looking at the thing.
But I saw that the thing was about a meter long, the thickness of an egg, and it was black all over, like an ordinary iron rod, one end of the iron rod was cylindrical, and the other side was sharpened with a sharp blade, as if something had cut it open.
"I don't know, I just looked at it, I tried the feel, it doesn't look like metal, it doesn't look like stone, I don't know what material it's made of, it's so hard that my big knife can't damage it in the slightest. Li Qi drank about half of the water in the water balloon in one go, and explained to Xue Yu while pouring the other half on his face.
Xue Yu took the iron rod in her hand and tried to wave it twice, but felt as light as nothing: "This should be something left over from the great war 10,000 years ago, although I don't know what it is, but it should be a treasure, you keep it for yourself first." ”
"What is left over from the great war 10,000 years ago?" Li Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and after pondering for a while, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Hey, disciple, what are you thinking, it's scary to look at. Snow smoke distracted him from the side.
"I wonder how many times this area has been explored, why is there such a thing left? This is obviously a treasure, if it is discovered, it is impossible not to take it. Li Qi thought carefully for a while.
"Unless, they didn't find it, which means that although they had explored the area, it was not complete, at least not underground. ”
"What do you mean?" Xue Yu seemed to hear a slight eyebrow.
"I've come here to find treasures, and the so-called treasures are not these fragments, and since you can find this short stick here, then you may also find other things. ”
"If we go to those places where we bury bones and desolate mounds, we have to rob others, why don't we just continue to look for it here, this is the place where we just came in, no one wants to stay here, when the time comes, there will only be a group of us, and the treasures buried in the ground are not all ours!"
Xue Yu and Xue Yan were stunned by Li Qi's crazy thoughts, and they looked at Li Qi and didn't know what to say for a while.
Intellectually, he wanted to dispel Li Qi's idea, but in his heart he vaguely felt that he seemed to be right, and the subconscious and the wisdom bred by human beings collided with each other, causing the sisters' brains to be confused.
Li Qi didn't have the time to pay attention to the two of them, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right, the ground here was harder than iron stone, and the labyrinth was not opened for too long, which meant that the people who came in front of him would definitely not stay in this place for long.
It's normal not to find these treasures, who would be bored to dig holes here to play like themselves?
The more Li Qi thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, he smiled, and the hole-punching that seemed to him to be extremely difficult instantly became cute, he looked at the earth under his feet, and seemed to see countless treasures waving at him, and his happiness was almost overflowing.
Hehe, stupid humans, let me teach you that there is still the science of crustal evolution and rock accumulation in this world!
The miserable white skeleton, the dark green soul fire, the stiff but fast way of walking, the "crunching" sound of bones colliding with each other......
They all clearly told Helian that the ghosts in front of him were the same creatures as the necromantic people they had met outside the city.
The smile that lingered on his face like the sun had disappeared unconsciously, and Helian's eyes were a little solemn.
How could there be a necromantic clan here? This is an ancient battlefield 10,000 years ago, and there is a necromantic clan that has turned into ashes over time.
Countless predecessors have explored this place, the broken space, the land of the dragons' weeping blood, these unusual conditions have indeed given birth to a lot of strange and dangerous things, but there will definitely be no necromancy, if there is, as the natural enemies of human beings, the predecessors who walked out from here will not mention or not mention it.
Moreover...... This is an extremely safe birthplace, how could such an obvious enemy be overlooked.
Helian's eyes gradually became sharper, and he seemed to see an invisible net coming towards them with a thick sense of conspiracy, and he began to worry about the safety of several juniors in his heart.
It's just that now, it's better to get rid of these ghost things in front of you first!
Helian's eyes gradually became sharper, and he remembered what Senior Brother Li had said, the thunder and lightning attributes and the light attributes were to restrain these skeletons, and the magic effects of other attributes would be resisted a lot.
It's just that...... Do you know why you're just a bunch of skeletons and you're the first of the younger generation in Harman City?
The battle intent in Helian's eyes burned like fire, and he opened his arms and raised his head to the sky and roared, and golden light and fire fell from the sky.
Because, in my eyes, nothing is impossible!
From the beginning of the entry, I have been walking along this road for three days, and I still haven't found what I am looking for.
On the contrary, Uncle Qi on the side, his expression was still indifferent, and he was no longer excited when he came in.
"How far is it?" both of them were magicians, and their physical fitness was not enough to support them for three consecutive days of running, and even with the presence of the Wind Walk, they also needed to rest.
Hearing Uncle Qi's question, Yu Chuqing closed his eyes again, took a deep breath, and after a while, he opened his eyes faintly, and he couldn't tell whether it was fear or relaxation in his tone: "Soon, we are not affected by the labyrinth, we have not taken detours, according to our speed, it will take an hour or two to be fast, and a day or two will be there if it is slow." ”
Uncle Qi let out a "hmm", not knowing what he was thinking.
Yu Chuqing looked at the gray fog around him that seemed to be eternal and unchanged, and sighed in his heart, and the world-weary in his eyes became thicker and thicker.
He didn't like his current life, not at all, and he didn't like his own life, because from the moment he was born he was imprisoned in an invisible cage, his life was not his own from the beginning, and his life was firmly endowed with something called a mission.
Since he was one or two years old, he was brought by Uncle Qi to this place that is not his hometown, he has no friends, he has no relatives, he has no admiration for the legendary father, no love, only a deep fear to the extreme.
If he remembers correctly, Uncle Qi once said that the lord of the underworld, his father only has such a son, but even so, for the sake of what his ancestors have planned for hundreds of years, he can sacrifice his son without hesitation, how can this kind of father be called a father.
Since the day he became conscious, he had never seen what his father looked like, nor did he know who his mother was, and the concept of his father in his heart was only limited to these two words, thirteen strokes. Except for Uncle Qi, no one cared about him, no one taught him, and no one played with him, and his life was a heavy leaden gray from the beginning.
It wasn't until he met the people of the Orizu Troupe that they laughed together, made trouble together, drank together, and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of various magic together, and in just a few days, he integrated into this circle of geniuses.
They are proud but not arrogant, genius but real, confident and never arrogant, and the atmosphere in which they get along makes him very fond and envious.
He wanted to accomplish this task so that the legendary father could appear before him and give him the much-desired reward, but that didn't mean he was willing to trade his friend's life.
It's just a short period of time, and even the last trace of warmth in my heart has to be destroyed because of this mission, is it worth it?
His eyes were full of confusion and self-deprecation, in vain he was still the young master of the underworld, his only few friends were in a life and death crisis, or he was in a life and death crisis led by himself, and he was powerless.
This young master is in charge...... Scold!
"Let's go. Uncle Qi on the side interrupted his thoughts, stood up, and continued to walk forward calmly.
Yu Chuqing straightened up expressionlessly, patted the hem of his clothes, and followed his steps silently.
