Chapter 168: The Talking Sword
The old man tightened his collar, straightened his chest, and his expression changed, and he immediately became a learned scholar.
"Young man, you can ask the right person if you inquire about these things and find my old man. The things in my store are really not very good, but their owners are heroes who travel far and wide. I have dealt with them for many years, but tell me what news I can't hear? Selling things is just a side job, but selling news is my job! A thousand gold and a boy are not deceived. ”
A sharp dagger shining with cold light appeared in Chen Kun's hand out of thin air, Chen Kun didn't speak, stared at the old man coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he nailed the dagger into the table.
"Oh, don't be so angry young people, you can make money with kindness, what can be discussed, you naturally paid, old man, I will pick two and tell you to listen."
Thousands of miles north of this town, there is a barren mountain range that is easy to find. The place is called a heat, like a furnace. One of my guests once met a strange man in the mountain, and the strange man was good at forging weapons, and my guest had the good fortune to see a divine sword forged by a strange man. It's a pity that the Excalibur was robbed as soon as it was born, and the strange man also escaped into the mountains and disappeared. If you have an idea, you can try your luck.
I'll give you another piece of news. I've had other guests who have heard of a phoenix in that mountain. The phoenix is a mythical beast, I hope you have good luck. ”
"I hope you're telling the truth this time, I don't care about the money, but there's no way you don't care about your life, huh?"
Chen Kun still didn't quite believe it.
"Naturally, it's true, it's true!" the old man was anxious, "If you lie to this and go back to me to settle the score!"
"Okay, believe you for the time being, wife, let's go and have a look. ”
After replenishing some food in the town, and following the direction indicated by the old man, Chen Kun and Night Shadow rode away on lions again. As the sun set, the green grass faded, and a whole barren land appeared in front of the two of them, and finally reached the place described by the old man.
With the exact place, the two naturally rejoiced. Because there is no clear route trace, to find a person, or a sword, or the so-called divine beast phoenix in this large mountain range, it is all up to luck, and the two of them have to walk through it randomly.
Naturally, the lion can't be ridden, and there are monsters attacking along the way.
The first thing the two encountered was a pitch-black stone-man monster. This kind of creature made of rocks is not easy to clean up at all, and its body is very strong, and the sparks splashed out of the knife on it, and it didn't hurt it much, but the movement of them was not small. In the end, it was Chen Kun who had the wit to attack their joints and found a way to eliminate them.
The deeper they went, both of them felt the temperature slowly rise. Monsters have also changed their genre. They are also stone-man monsters, but their bodies are flickering with flames, and in the gradually darkening sky, they are like moving torches, illuminating the surroundings extremely brightly. This saved Night Shadow and Chen Kun trouble.
After a short break to replenish food, the two continued to fight.
Compared to the previous black stone monsters, these flame stone monsters would occasionally leave a small stone crystal behind the two of them. Some of the functions prompted by the system layout failed, and there was no special explanation for its purpose when the stone crystal was held in the hand, but as a special item dropped by monsters, Nightshade still collected them.
"Look, wife, there's a lava pool in that valley, no wonder there are no plants growing in this place, it's hot to death!"
Chen Kun was already sweating profusely hot, his upper body was naked, and he couldn't stand it. Nightshade is better, there is a secret armor set that is not limited by level, it can be used in overlap with equipment, it is not afraid of water and fire, and it can adjust itself according to the environment to adapt to the temperature of the human body, which is free from this pain.
"No wonder, husband, I saw a sword in that place, there really is a sword!"
Nightshade has insight, and when you look closely, there is a surprise.
"Could it be the divine sword that the old man said?" Chen Kun was also excited, "Let's go, go and see!"
"No, are you okay? I'm afraid I'll turn you into a kebab, hehe!"
"Oh no, I'm too excited, just here my skin feels like it's going to be roasted and cracked, and I really can't get over it," Chen Kun looked bitter, "Wife, be careful, if it's dangerous, we won't be rare, you just have to come back." ”
Chen Kun stayed where he was and continued to kill the monsters, while Night Shadow used the effect of the arcane battle armor to sneak towards the lava land step by step. The closer you get to the lava pool, the more monsters there are, but the Nightshade is not afraid.
I don't know what's going on, it's the same assassin, it's also stealth, the night shadow can completely hide the breath of the body, but Chen Kun can be discovered by the monster, and it's strange. So along the way, the two had to fight in step by step. At this point, Nightshade was alone and sneaked in, but it was much faster.
In front of Nightshade was indeed an arrow, with a slender waist and a delicate pattern, quietly suspended in the middle of the lava pool, surrounded by a layer of brilliant flames.
Although the close-up view was confirmed, Nightshade was still dumbfounded, not to mention that he couldn't reach the center of the hot magma pool, and even if the sword was in front of him, he wouldn't have the way to hold the fiery sword in his hand.
"If you can't help it, come back first, don't risk it. Chen Kun shouted over there.
Well, it really can't be helped, Nightshadow has to turn around and leave. Although this is a game, who knows where the resurrected person will go after the adventure dies, this is a hidden map, and the two are not familiar with each other, so how can they find each other.
"Come back, come back, don't go!" a faint voice cried urgently, near Nightshade.
Night Shadow turned his head to look around, and there was no one else in the vicinity, just himself and Chen Kun in the distance.
"It's you, don't look for it, I'm here, oh oh I'm this sword!"
A sword that can speak?Nightshadow was surprised and delighted, and naturally stopped and turned back to the edge of the lava pool.
"I'm confused, I've been having a strange dream, but I can't figure it out, you can help me!"
A sword is also a dream, is it a thousand hammers when it is made?Nightshadow was secretly happy in his heart. However, for such a magical thing, Nightshade still showed proper respect to this one, "Okay, you say. ”
"I have been having a mysterious and terrible dream, I am often awakened in dreams, in the dream, I am a phoenix, with wings as fiery red as the sun, in the dream, blood flows all over the mountains and rivers, as if the whole world is immersed in a sea of blood, I feel that I am on the verge of death. I don't want to dream about it anymore, it's really scary. The sword buzzed, and the flames trembled on its body.
"I don't know what your dreams portend, what can I do to help you?"
"In my dream, I vaguely remember that there is a powerful opponent around here, I am confined here and cannot move, can you help me go and see? I don't want to repeat this dream. ”
Nightshade accedes to the sword's request and continues to sneak in search of someone or something special.
The reason why I say this is because even a sword has spoken, and who knows if its powerful opponent is a man, a thing, or a monster?
It didn't take much effort, but Night Shadow was in the valley next door, and saw a small house, a strong middle-aged man striking iron in front of the furnace, and the iron filings were splashing and the sound of tapping was crisp. I was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the night shadow, and I still worked as I did.
"Young man, you have a sad face, what is the trouble you are encountering?"
Nightshade thought about it and told the ironman about the sword.
"I didn't expect it to become the soul of a sword, and it actually regained consciousness. The iron man sighed.
"Master, what's going on?" asked Nightshade curiously.
"The soul of that sword is a phoenix bathing in fire, it was originally the strongest one in the clan, but it suddenly went crazy decades ago, slaughtering hundreds of phoenixes, extremely ferocious. In the end, several kings of other clans combined forces to wound it, but no one could destroy it, and in the end it had to be imprisoned in the sword made of igneous crystals. Fearing that it would break free from the sword, he used the formation to imprison this phoenix sword on the lava pool, taking the opportunity to consume its soul, and without thinking about the passage of time, its sanity was revived again. Alas, how good is the revival of such a powerful beast!" the ironman sighed.
"Isn't there a solution to this?" Nightshade didn't expect the soul in the sword to be such a powerful master.
"It's easier said than done, if it goes crazy again, who can stop it. "The iron man is gone, and he doesn't even have the spirit of iron.
"It's sane now, why don't you ask it why it went crazy back then, and I'll try. ”
Nightshade departed excitedly, leaving only the iron-striking man sighing and sighing.
