Chapter 45: The Ball of Light
Taking the plant leaves that were quietly handed over from Du Yuhan's hand, Kevin looked at them carefully without a trace.
The leaves are round, about four centimeters in diameter, and the stems are straight and glabrous, with slightly woody branches. The outer contour of the whole leaf is like a thin iron ring around it, like a round fan of the ancient court. The most peculiar thing is that the leaf veins inside are actually in a ring, and the circle is spread out from the center, just like a human fingerprint.
The whole body of the leaf is blue-purple, but the sap in the veins is transparent sky blue, flowing slowly along the circular veins, crystal clear under the light of fire.
Kevin had never seen such a strange plant, he looked at Du Yuhan, who had been waiting beside him, and shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, Du Yuhan had no choice but to stuff the blades back into the space ring. I didn't expect that even the erudite Kevin was helpless, it seems that there is a lot of article in this plant, and I have to study it well when I go back.
Just as the group was approaching the entrance of the cave, a roar of rage came from the depths of the cave.
Powerful sound waves swept through the entire space, shaking the mountains in an instant, large and small stones continued to fall overhead, and countless cracks appeared in the walls of the cave, which was about to collapse.
Everyone was so dizzy that they couldn't stand steadily, and Bruno hurriedly sat down and yelled nervously: "What's the matter?!" β
Du Yuhan reflexively hugged Kevin's waist and shouted, "Run!" β
They walked in a chaotic step, dodging the falling rocks overhead, while stabilizing their bumpy figures, and everyone ran forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. A second before the cave collapsed, it stumbled out.
"Boom-" There was a huge roar behind him, and Du Yuhan rushed forward with all his might, protecting Kevin tightly under him. The sandstorm swept like a tide, and in an instant, the sand and dust covered the sun, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt dust, and the vision was blurred.
It wasn't until the roar became quieter that a few people crawled out of the wasteland.
"Ahem......" Du Yuhan straightened up with difficulty, he felt that his eyes and mouth were filled with sand, and they were full of pungent dust. He was so uncomfortable that he sneezed and coughed several times before he recovered.
And Kevin, who was protected by him, also ate a lot of sand, but the situation was not very strict, he struggled to poke his head out of Du Yuhan's arms, and the first thing he did was to check the other party's situation up and down. He glared at Du Yuhan complainingly, feeling very depressed about not being able to protect the other party in his arms.
The others were equally embarrassed, but the crowd who were spitting out the sand didn't notice that a behemoth crawled out of the mouth of the collapsed mine. It wasn't until there was another loud roar behind them that they noticed the huge crisis.
The huge monster was covered in dark green moss, and the mud on its body emitted a foul stench, dripping on the ground. It opened its bloody mouth at the unsuspecting humans in front of it, and a yellowish-brown sour smell emanated from it.
"Roar! βββ
Depend on! What day is it today? Why is this one after another endless?!
Du Yuhan took a mouthful of saliva, and immediately pulled out the long sword behind him, slandering in his heart.
"Ahem...... What is it? cough ......" Heywood wiped his face vigorously, his eyes sour, making it difficult to see what lay ahead. But he still had excellent hearing, and he bent his bow in the direction of the giant beast.
Bruno next to him also showed the blades of his arms, ready to meet the enemy.
Only Cared, who was standing behind, saw the appearance of the giant beast, and his face appeared surprised, confused, worried, and angry.
Why?!
That's impossible!
He had just checked, and the plant was clearly intact, so why was this thing summoned?!
His fists were clenched tightly, and his face was distorted very much.
When I was investigating the church before, I was bumped into by a damn old man, and I was run away by the other party without paying attention. finally chased him to the city of Fran, but he actually encountered the patrolling Praetorian Guards, so that he didn't dare to act rashly for nearly a month. I finally met a team that went to Lakeside Ridge, but I didn't expect this kind of moth to come out again.
The more Kareid thought about it, the more angry he became, the fighting qi in his body was circulating at high speed, the bracelet was black and bright, and the violent energy was about to come out.
Just when Du Yuhan received Kevin's state blessing and was about to rush forward, two slender vines suddenly shot out from the left and right hands of the giant beast, as if he had self-awareness, and tied them tightly and entwined them.
Bound to the vines tightly, the beast roared and struggled violently, seeing that the slender vines were about to be torn apart. Everyone was frightened by this strange scene, but when they heard a crisp sound of "pop" behind them, the giant beast suddenly froze, like a puppet with a broken line, and stood still in place.
Looking at this amazing scene, they were dumbfounded.
Du Yuhan turned his head to look behind him, only to see that Kareid was pinching a broken ball of red light between his fingers, and his face was very ugly.
Hey? That little ball......
Suddenly, he felt that the red light ball in the other party's hand was inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.
Where have you seen it?
But he didn't have a chance to think about it again, but when he saw Kareid's hard work, the ball burst in response to the sound, turning into dust and drifting into the air. A blast wave of energy quickly spread outward with the ball as the center, and everyone only felt their hearts sink, and they were instantly overwhelmed.
As if in response, the beast fell to the ground on its back, and with a loud bang, it turned into a puddle of yellow-brown muddy water.
Suddenly, several people fell into an eerie silence.
Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Du Yuhan's face twitched a few times.
Nima's combat power is too terrifying, is this the legendary modeler? He began to believe that the Cathedral had been destroyed by the modellers.
Ahhh I actually lied in front of him just now! Maya, don't be exposed! He doesn't want to die yet!
And Heywood, who was also shocked, seemed to remember something, his face turned green, and he looked at Kared's face with a look of fear.
Completely ignoring the thoughts of others, Khared was accustomed to the horrified gazes of others. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, his eyes looked into the distance, and his brows tightened.
Now that his identity has been exposed, he simply doesn't hide it anymore, anyway, his goal has been achieved. Turning out an expensive scroll from the space ring, he looked at Bruno expressionlessly: "Captain, since the task has been completed, let me leave first." It's over, he glanced at Du Yuhan deeply intentionally or unintentionally, "We'll have a meeting later." β
Without waiting for the others to react, Kareid tore the scroll in half with both hands, and the powerful spatial magic wrapped his whole person in layers. There was a flash of bright light, and Kared vanished from front of them.
The rest of the people looked at each other.
"I said, dude, where did you get the great god from?" Du Yuhan glanced at Bruno, who was still sluggish, the look in Cared's eyes before he left was really terrifying!
"How did I know he was so powerful...... Bruno shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Thinking about it carefully, almost all the difficult and dangerous demonic beasts along the way were solved by relying on Kared's final fatal blow, but he didn't know people clearly, and he actually really believed that he was a fifth-order model master......
Fortunately, the other party didn't have the intention of that little treasure, otherwise with the strength of the fourth- and fifth-order of several of them, others would have solved it with their fingers.
Heywood was shocked by Kared's brutal strength, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
And Kevin quietly lowered his head and followed closely beside Du Yuhan, his face was pale, but his eyes burst out with brilliant brilliance.
Strength......
Powerful ......
With it, you can protect Han and protect the people who matter most!
He's going to get that power, he's going to get stronger!
He bit his lip tightly, his fingers trembling slightly, golden and dark purple energy swirling around his fingertips, and every nerve spasmed slightly at the oppression of the force.
"Kevin, what's wrong with you?" Finding that the other party didn't say a word, Du Yuhan saw that Kevin's face was ugly, and couldn't help but worry, "Is there something hurt?" β
The impact range of the energy shock wave just now is very large, and I don't know if there will be any internal injuries at such a close distance. It doesn't matter if he's rough and thick, but Kevin is just a cloth profession, and I don't know if there will be problems.
Shaking his head slightly, Kevin clenched the other party's big warm hand.
"I'm fine."
After looking at it carefully, except that his face was pale, it didn't seem to be a big deal, Du Yuhan scratched his head and stopped asking.
After a while, a patrol of Praetorian Guards came in the distance, and it seemed that the huge movement of this giant beast attracted the nearby garrison. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of missing people in the city, and there has been an increase in human trafficking, and patrols have been intensified around the royal city to prevent human traffickers.
After a round of cross-examination, the patrol team didn't ask anything out of their mouths, and seeing that they were not able to make such a big noise at this level, they waved their hands and let them go.
***********
Compared with the twists and turns, the way back seems quite smooth. Except for the occasional unknown little monster, it's almost a smooth road. After walking for two days and driving the carriage for six days, when they saw the magnificent and tall gates of the city of Fran from a distance, several people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, they were really safe now.
The trip was thrilling, but relatively rewarding. Take the mission items to the mercenary hall to deliver the commission, and everyone receives the employer's bounty. Looking at the heavy money bag in his arms, Du Yuhan's heart was overjoyed, and this journey finally came to an end.
Vic, who was left at the innkeeper's house, saw that his brother, who had not been seen for many days, returned, and instantly rushed over and threw himself into his arms and cried, which made Bruno uncomfortable.
Invited to Bruno's home, everyone had a sumptuous hot pot dinner.
"I said, dude, aren't you really going to rest here for a few more days?" Kicked Heywood, who was slumped on the bench, away, Du Yuhan, who was full of wine and food, lay on it and picked his teeth, while Kevin wisely cleaned up the mess on the side.
Bruno was carefully wiping Vic's mouth, which was full of oil, as if he refused his offer, "No, it's been too long to come out this time, and the elder will have to talk about it again when I go back." And I have to take all the herbs back and collect the rest. β
As soon as he heard that he was going home, little Vic was not happy, and he pouted his pink little mouth, "Don't go home, Vic won't go home!" β
"Oh? Why? Du Yuhan stroked Vic's furry head, and he loved this playful and cute little doll from the bottom of his heart.
"Go home, master...... Brother plays ......" Little Vic stuttered hard for a long time, and Du Yuhan finally understood under his gestures.
"After you go back, the master won't let you play with your brother?"
Xiao Bu nodded aggrievedly, and looked at Bruno with a look of pity.
Bruno shook his head dotingly, "Brother still has to work when he goes back, Vic is obedient this time, will my brother take you out to play next time?" β
Although he couldn't play for a few more days, he thought that his brother would bring him out next time, and Vic reluctantly agreed.
Sending the two to the door, Bruno let them stay. "That's it."
"Then I won't deliver it tomorrow morning, you two be careful on the road." Du Yuhan pinched Vic's little face, "Goodbye, little Vic, you have to grow up quickly, and you have to listen to my brother when I go back." β
Vic nodded understandingly, he didn't quite understand what it meant to grow up.
"Ah, yes." Suddenly remembering something, Bruno took out a stone tablet from the space ring and handed it to Du Yuhan, "This is for you." β
The surface of the plaque is smooth, with a strange coat of arms carved on it, similar to the tattoo on Bruno's arm. Du Yuhan raised half of his eyebrows, "This is ......"
"This is the ritual stone of our tribe. Although I don't know if it's possible, if you come to the Oko Mansion in the country of Parman in the future and take this gift stone, everyone will give you the highest courtesy. Bruno puffed out his chest proudly, the strength of the tribe was something that all of them were deeply proud of.
"Well, thank you." Du Yuhan lightly slapped the other party's chest, revealing a hearty smile.
"Have a nice trip." Kevin smiled and waved his hand.
After receiving Heywood's strong hug, Bruno pulled the reluctant Vic and disappeared into the night.
"Tomorrow morning, we will go out of town in a carriage, and we must not be naughty tonight, we must go to bed early......" Bruno muttered to Vic.
"Brother, Che Che ......"
"Well, tomorrow we'll take the carriageβ"
"Che Che." Suddenly, Vic grabbed Bruno's clothes.
"Huh? What's wrong? Sensing the oddity, Bruno looked down at Vic, who stared at the dark alley motionless.
He pointed to a dark corner next to the house and repeated the words, "Cheche." β
"Car?" Bruno glanced at the alley in confusion and walked over gently.
The streets and alleys in the night do not shine a single light, like a bloody mouth, devouring curious pedestrians. With the help of the faint lights on the side of the road, a broken wooden truck was seen randomly stacked in the corner, with its back against a cluster of dark bushes. He was wondering about his brother's abnormality, and suddenly, he heard a faint breathing from a dark corner.
ββ¦β¦ Hey? β
