Chapter 104
For the sake of Kuntina's sister's life, Jian Lu didn't say anything in the end.
In fact, he brought Kuntina back, and at first he didn't have any ideas, but he saw it at the time, thinking that she would encounter any danger when she was a girl in the magic forest, so he brought it back by the way. Alger was his original target, and Quintina was in passing, but Hines didn't know it, thinking that Quintina was specially brought back by him, and Alger was in passing.
After bringing Kuntina back, Jian Lu saw that Quintina was taking care of Alger, so he mentioned it to Heins, wanting him to have more contact with the opposite sex to see if he could twist back his crooked three views. But he didn't want Hines to misunderstand.
What made Jian Lu rub the fire was that even if he misunderstood, he could still put on a grievance while saying cruel words, which really made him not know what to say, and in the end, for the sake of Quintina's life, Jian Lu simply didn't say anything.
The night was uneventful, and before dawn, Hines left, and after dawn, a golden dragon flew in.
Alger and Quintina were not sleeping soundly, and they were very alert, and they woke up instantly when they sensed Hines go out. They didn't know where Hines was going, but when they were under the roof, they naturally didn't dare to ask more, so they had to give up. It wasn't until dawn that they saw a golden dragon flying in, and the two became nervous again.
The dragon is a top powerhouse, every time he appears, it will cause great panic in the crowd, even if he knows that this dragon will not do anything to them now, but as long as he sees it, he will still have a feeling of panic and fear, after all, the difference in strength is too great, how can he be calm if he is not my race.
After breakfast, Jian Lu went out with the golden dragon again, leaving Quintina and Alger in the depths of the Demon Forest. This is Hines's territory, where it has lived for months, and is stained with the breath of a dragon everywhere, and the king insects naturally dare not approach it, making this place the safest and most peaceful place in the magic forest.
After a night of recuperation, Alger's bones have grown seventy-seven or eighty-eight, but it will take two days to be completely well, and it is not suitable to act, plus he can't figure out what Jian Lu means, so naturally he will not be stupid to do something that makes Jian Lu unhappy, and stay with Quintina very honestly.
Alger had been speculating about the purpose of Jian Lu getting himself over, and based on what he knew before, he finally came to a conclusion: Jian Lu had brought him back, probably because of a plot against the central main city.
If this is the case, Alger is relieved, at least this proves that he still has use value, and Jian Lu will not kill him lightly. As for what Jian Lu is plotting, Alger doesn't care, in the final analysis, it's still a matter of strength, under absolute strength, every qiē is in vain, fists are truth, if your fists are hard enough to pass this world, then you are right.
The Lost Land is more flattering to the law of the jungle than the Olawen Continent, and if you are weak, you deserve to be beaten and killed, and if you are strong, you have the final say.
In the past, it was not without people who fell here from the Legendary Continent, but those people were finally brought back by the people of the Central Main City and locked up in the forbidden land, and very few of them could survive the Lost Continent, which was also because their strength was not enough. And now these two people from the Legendary Continent, their strength can even allow them to move freely in the Demon Forest, ignoring the threat of those top king insects, such monsters, what can the central main city do to fight with them?
Alger knew it in his heart, so he opened his heart to a wide range.
The day passed in the middle of the day with nothing to do with Alger and Quintina, until in the evening, when they saw Jian Lu returning with the blonde man they had seen the previous day, but they did not see the golden dragon.
Although the blonde man was a bit elusive, Alger and Quintina didn't associate them for a while, this is the limitation of the Lost Lands, they don't think that the king worm can transform into a human form, and people who have never heard of a dragon race will not associate the two together, so even if Hines and the golden dragon have never appeared together, the two of them have no suspicion.
Jian Lu threw another bottle of potion to Quintina, told Quintina to feed Alger, and then sat down under the light, took out a worm shell to study, and concentrated on ignoring Hines on the side.
Hines didn't care about Jian Lu's ignoring attitude, he sat there, looking at Alger and Quintina in the distance, touching his chin and not knowing what he was thinking, his azure eyes were deep, and the calculation in his eyes made Alger shiver, and found that he had miscalculated.
Compared with Jian Lu, who seems to be cold and ruthless but is actually easy to talk to, Hines, who has only been with him for a short time, feels more dangerous and unfathomable. This person's strength is incomprehensible, and his temper is even more eccentric, although he looks like an upright knight, but in fact he is cruel and angry, and he is not a good person.
Until bedtime, Jian Lu was dragged to sleep by Hines. Because of Alger's presence, he was afraid that Hines would do something misleading impulsively, but he did not forcefully refuse his closeness, but he was not allowed to make some ambiguous moves. This made Hines feel more and more that Alger and the others were really an eyesore, and he wanted to throw them out.
The two of them lay side by side on the animal skin, and Jian Lu asked in a low voice, "What were you thinking about when you kept looking at Alger before?" ”
Hines said happily, "Jane, you've been paying attention to me, and even I see that everyone else knows." ”
That's because he was worried that this guy was unhappy and wanted to kill someone or something, so he naturally wanted to stare at it, but it wasn't what he thought Jian Lu was about to explain, but Hines interrupted him.
"I didn't think about anything, I just thought that the two of them took care of each other and accommodated each other, and they saw the truth in adversity, and they seemed to be quite compatible."
Jian Lu: "...... which eye did you see that they were compatible?"
Jian Lu was speechless about Hines's words, but he knew in his heart what he was thinking, and obviously still minded what he said last night. It may be that this time was numbed by Hines's confession every day, and now he knows his careful thinking, and he doesn't have any surprise in his heart, but he takes it for granted, if this guy doesn't mind, that's a strange thing.
Thinking of this, Jian Lu's face was a little ugly, and he suddenly turned his back, not wanting to meet the person next to him again.
Hines didn't know why he suddenly said, his face changed, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, but he was worried that it would be overkill and provoke Jian Lu, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only think about it in his heart and think about it for a night.
The next day, both one person and one dragon looked particularly unenergetic.
In contrast, Alger and Quintina, who had finally raised their bones, were in good spirits, and there was no threat from the king worm, they ate and slept well, and their faces were a lot ruddy.
So Alger's bones broke again.
Fortunately, there is such a thing as potion that works quickly, and even if the bone is broken, it will only take a few days to heal.
Discovering what Hines did, Jian Lu actually had a feeling of not being surprised in his heart, it may be that the character that Hines expressed during this time has been stimulating him, stimulating and stimulating, and finally let him gradually accept it, and he will not feel any surprise in his heart to do such a childish thing to him.
But although I accepted it, I was still a little entangled, and I didn't understand why the good sunny and upright paladin had become this cautious ghost animal.
"Alger didn't mess with you, why did you do that?" Jian Lu said helplessly.
Hines sneered: "I asked Quintina, when you left Falk City, this kid made things difficult for you everywhere, and even wanted to kill people and seize treasures, it's good that I didn't kill him to give you anger." Despite the murderous and tyrannical aura in his heart, Hines still restrained it, and this qiē took into account Jian Lu's mood.
Jian Lu has never been a murderer, although the cruel experience over the years has changed a lot, making him resolute and resolute, and he knows how to make trade-offs. But in his bones, he still maintains a basic moral bottom line of being a human being, has a respectful attitude towards life, and is not like other magicians, who never rely on their ability to take the lives of others lightly.
Jian Lu was silent, and in the end, he could only rub his head vigorously and swallow the words that came to his mouth.
After another half a month, Jian Lu finally researched a kind of scroll made by fusing the worm shell with the magic pattern, this kind of worm shell scroll is more powerful than imagined, but it is just a rudimentary explosive scroll, but it shook the entire valley and cracked, roaring continuously.
Alger and Quintina witnessed how such a powerful murder weapon was born, and their faces changed several times, especially Alger, who was the grandson of the elders of the Council of Elders in the Central Main City, and he was very knowledgeable, so he naturally knew the meaning of this insect shell scroll that Jian Lu had studied.
If it was said that he had some thoughts in his heart, after the natural strength shown by Jian Lu, until this moment, Alger completely rested, and the other party told him to do whatever he wanted, without those thoughts.
Jian Lu was very satisfied with the power of the insect shell scroll, and it was in vain that he and Hines studied for a month, and finally made this kind of thing.
The material of the insect shell is a rare high-grade material, and it contains a kind of power, unlike the blank scroll, so it cannot be successfully fused with the blood of the demonic beast, so that the blood of the demonic beast cannot successfully draw the magic pattern on it at all, and it can only be burned, but the texture of the worm shell is too hard, and with the power of the magician, it is not easy to burn the magic pattern.
For this reason, Jian Lu tried many methods, until he listened to Hines's suggestion, soaked a dragon breath grass that he had purchased in the Griffin Chamber of Commerce in the past, and made a potion, and after integrating it into the insect shell in a certain proportion, the texture of the insect shell would become softer, and the light knife he condensed could easily burn the magic pattern on it, which could be regarded as a success.
It's a pity that this thing can only grow in large quantities on Dragon Island, and it's not easy to get, so there's no way to draw a large number of insect shell scrolls at this stage, so I can only find an opportunity to go to Dragon Island to get some in the future.
After successfully researching the worm shell scroll, Jian Lu felt that they could act.
Then in the next few days, Jian Lu asked Hines to go to the Demon Forest to collect the insect shells of various king insects, and he made insect shell scrolls in the depths of the Demon Forest, and there were insect shell scrolls with various elemental attributes, as well as untied scrolls. After finding a way to deal with the worm shell, Jian Lu even thought about using the worm shell to draw high-level magic and forbidden spells, of course, these at this stage because there was not enough dragon breath grass, so he had to give up.
The magic of each department can be divided into: primary magic, intermediate magic, advanced magic, ultimate magic, forbidden spells, and major forbidden spells. With Jian Lu's current strength as a high-level magician, the most he uses is intermediate-level magic, and there are only a few high-level magic, and it consumes too much mana, so he generally doesn't use it.
In addition, the way the magic scroll is displayed is also a way to use the magic seal, which can be directly displayed and used at critical times without consuming mana, which is why the magic scroll is so popular. Jian Lu can now draw advanced scrolls, but when drawing with insect shells, due to the limitations of materials, he can only draw beginner scrolls at his current level, but the power is not worse than that of advanced scrolls.
After several days of preparation, Jian Lu and the others were finally ready to go.
The goal is deep in the valley.
A month ago, Jian Lu wanted to explore the depths of the valley, but Hines pushed it on the grounds that his health was not good, and then Jian Lu discovered the power in the insect shell and immersed himself in research, so he pushed it back again and again, until now, after he successfully researched the insect shell scroll, there is such a thing as the insect shell scroll, and there is no scruple about it.
Hines also wanted to solve the troubles on his body and leave the magic forest, so naturally he did not refuse again.
It's been too long since they've been in the Lost Lands, and it's time to think about returning to Olawen.
"Grafad, where are we going?" Quintina always had a bad premonition in her heart, especially seeing that Hines and Jian Lu were busy these days, she always felt that they seemed to have some purpose.
Jian Lu looked at the sky, it was about to get dark, Hines would change back into a human form, compared to the dragon form, for Hines, his human form had better adaptability, so Jian Lu chose to set off at night.
"We're going deep into this valley." Jian Lu looked at the gradually foggy valley in the distance and said, "Quintina, you can stay and wait for us with Alger." ”
Quintina shook her head, "I'll go with you." She regarded Jian Lu as a benefactor in her heart, and she was grateful for the several life-saving graces when she was on the road, and she trusted Jian Lu very much, I am afraid that Jian Lu would let her die at this time, and she would have no disagreement.
It's just a silly girl.
Alger sneered in his heart, laughing at Quintina's naivety for believing the people from the continent who were said to have come.
Quintina didn't care about this, she has always been sensitive to people's feelings, if she hadn't felt that Jian Lu didn't have the slightest malice in her body, she wouldn't have rubbed it so innocently, and it turned out later that her choice was right. Jian Lu is a person who understands better than anyone else.
Alger chose to join them, and he wanted to know what the hell the two were trying to do, what was going on deep in the valley. It's rare to come to the depths of the magic forest, and if you don't explore it, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if there are many crises ahead, Alger still doesn't want to give up.
Jian Lu glanced at them and didn't say anything.
Soon, Hines returned in human form, and not only did he come back, but he also caught two king worms.
The two king insects are comparable to the elephants that Jian Lu had seen in his previous life, which Hines had brought to use as mounts, and it was a long distance to go from here to the depths of the valley, and it was too time-consuming to walk on two legs.
The two king insects were originally the masters of the Demon Forest, but at this time, under the deterrence of Hines, they were like two insects - they were originally worms, lowered their bodies, and worked hard to be human mounts.
Jane Lu and Hines ride a king worm together, and Quintina and Alger sit together.
Jian Lu stood on the back of the king worm, the speed of the king worm was extremely fast, the oncoming wind blew his hair flying back, and Hines stood beside him, one hand on his shoulder. Originally, he wanted to wrap his arms around Jian Lu's waist, but under Jian Lu's expressionless gaze, he had to take his shoulders aggrievedly, and in the eyes of Quintina, they were like a pair of good buddies.
Good buddy, fart! Alger cursed in his heart, thinking of Hines's threat to him, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this man was in love with a man, and threatened him for that man, did he fucking think everyone was a faggot like him?
Whatever the strong do, it is the truth! Although Alger has never encountered such a terrifying thing as a man falling in love, Hines's strength makes him not have any disdain for it, which is the strength of the strong.
So, after learning about the relationship between Hines and Jane Lu - he thought that the two were in love, Alger was surprised and quickly calmed down. Only Quintina didn't forcibly open the door to her new world because of Jian Lu's maintenance of her, so she thought that Jian Lu and Hines were brothers, and some ambiguous actions, in her eyes, also thought that they were just in a better relationship, and didn't want to be crooked at all.
With the speed of the king worm, it took them three magic spells in a row to reach their destination.
Along the way, the terrain gradually opened up, and the fog became thicker and thicker, and in the end, it was almost impossible to see within 100 meters. This situation also made everyone vigilant, and what they were wary of was not that they were afraid of the hidden king insects in the dense fog, but that they had an inexplicable feeling that there was something here.
Not only them, but the two king worms also began to be irritable, and the two long tentacles trembled violently, constantly spinning in place, and when they reached a certain distance, they refused to move any further, no matter how much Hines drove them.
The crowd had no choice but to get off the back of the king worm and walk on foot.
"It's weird here, be careful." Hines whispered to Jane.
Jian Lu replied lightly, holding the magic lamp with the core of the ghost insect in his hand, the blue light was like a ghost fire and the netherworld, which looked very terrifying in this foggy night.
After walking for about an hour, suddenly mutated, Quintina and Alger screamed, as if they were caught by something, and disappeared into the thick fog, Hines at the same time, grabbed Jian Lu's arm, pulled his legs and ran wildly, the whirring wind sounded in his ears, as if some devouring ghost in the thick fog, chasing them behind.
Something roared behind them and chased after them, and the roaring sound was like the roar of a beast, and it was like the howling of the wind. However, the crisis that came from the persecution made people's scalps tingle, and they didn't dare to stop for a moment, so they could only run all the way forward.
Although Jian Lu was caught by Hines and ran, he did not panic, condensed his magic power, and made a magic cover for the two of them, and at the same time, the white light in his hand flashed, and the light blades scattered in all directions, only to hear the sound of a doo in the thick fog, as if he had stabbed something.
Hines pulled Jian Lu to run all the way, Jian Lu noticed that he was not running straight, but was very regular, and would change directions from time to time, and he would know the reason after a little thought, but he was afraid that in those three months, Hines explored here a lot, and was more familiar with this place.
I don't know how long he ran, but Hines suddenly spoke: "Jane, bombard this place with magic." ”
The fog became thicker, his line of sight was less than half a meter, and Jian Lu couldn't see clearly what was ahead, hearing Hines's words, he didn't hesitate to turn his hand and take out the staff of Milotus, cast a high-level magic, and the white light turned into two dragons of light, breaking through the fog and blasting straight ahead.
In the white light, Jian Lu finally saw clearly what Hines asked him to bang, it turned out to be a bronze door, and there were strange reliefs on the door, and he couldn't see what this relief statue was for a while.
After a few direct bangs, the door suddenly opened, Hines pulled Jian Lu and ran in, and when he was about to step into the door, he took Jian Lu in his arms, blocked a forbidden spell that fell from the door, and the bodies of the two fell behind the door with their backs to the ground.
At the moment of passing through the door, Jian Lu felt that he was suppressed by a terrifying force, and his five senses were suddenly lost, only to feel that Heins's strength was so tight that his bones ached. Until the two of them fell heavily to the ground, the strange sound of chasing them behind them was gone, but the surrounding aura was not pleasant.
After a while, Jian Lu's five senses finally returned, a cloud of white light condensed in his hand as illumination, got up from the ground, and first inspected the situation of Hines next to him, and found that he had become a bloody man at this time, his skin was chapped inch by inch, and his appearance was extremely terrifying. Seeing that he felt extremely uncomfortable, he was busy condensing magic and treating him with holy light.
Even the golden dragon's strong physique was destroyed like this, which shows that the forbidden spell on that door is terrifying, if there is no Hines to resist, let alone Jian Lu, a human magician, the consequence is only to scatter the soul.
Half a spell had passed, and Hines' injuries had healed.
"How?" Jian Lu asked with concern, seeing that his face was a little pale, he hurriedly took out the blood-replenishing potion and fed him.
Hines smiled at him, "It's fine, it's just some blood." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the golden Dou Qi from his fingertips jumped, and he waved it to the ground, and the remaining blood on the ground was quickly burned clean by the Dou Qi, leaving no traces.
The blood of the golden dragon is precious and extremely useful, and Hines is reluctant to keep his own blood here, this place is too strange to save any more accidents.
After treating the injuries on Hines's body, Jian Lu had the heart to look around, and at first glance, he couldn't help but be stunned.
