On the ridge where Li Qing and the others blocked more than a thousand living corpses, Feline Elle stood on the top of a large tree tens of meters high, squinting at a pair of beautiful eyes blessed with the "Eagle Eye Technique", looking down at the ridge. [Chinese.com. The Starters]

Chu Lingfeng, Aya, and the rest of the elves hid in the woods under the big tree, sat on the ground, and waited quietly.

Chu Lingfeng stuck his two swords on the ground in front of him, holding a dagger in each hand. Two sharp daggers rotated nimbly between her fingers, appearing and disappearing, to exercise the dexterity of her fingers.

No matter when and where, Chu Lingfeng can always find a way to exercise and keep improving himself. She was able to cultivate to the limit of her human physique on the earth, in addition to her natural comprehension and learning ability, she relied more on the accumulation of little by little on ordinary times.

Aya sat opposite Chu Lingfeng and silently watched Chu Lingfeng exercise. After looking at it for a while, she suddenly said loudly: "Chu, have you known Bruce for a long time?" ”

"If you think about it, I haven't known him for long." Chu Lingfeng looked up at Aya and said with a smile: "It's been less than a month since I realized it. ”

Even when he watched Aya speak, the movements in Chu Lingfeng's hands did not stop. The two daggers spun rapidly between her fingers, bringing with them the afterimage of a fan.

"You've known him for less than a month?" Aya blinked in surprise and said, "I see that you have a very tacit understanding with him, and the relationship is not generally close, I thought you had known him for a long time." Even thought you and he were a couple. ”

"Couples? Hehe......" Chu Lingfeng's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Although I haven't known him for a long time, we have a common language. I fought side by side a few times, he saved me and I saved him, of course the relationship will be very close. As for couples, it's a little bit close......"

"Do you like him, then?" Aya whispered, a hidden mystery flashed in her pupils.

Chu Lingfeng said with a smile: "You guess? ”

Aya said, "I guess you like him." Why don't you tell him? ”

Chu Lingfeng smiled and said nothing, neither admitting nor denying it.

Aya moved forward, approached Chu Lingfeng, and said mysteriously, "Is he ...... Already have a lover? ”

"Lover? This word is really lofty, I haven't heard anyone say that for a long time......" Chu Lingfeng was in a trance for a while, and muttered: "It's popular to say 'sister' in our place now...... That guy, there's a girl......"

"Girl? Although it doesn't sound dignified, it's also funny and cute. Aya smiled at the corner of her mouth, looked directly into Chu Lingfeng's eyes, and said softly: "Isn't Bruce and his lover very close?" So much so that you, as his close comrade-in-arms, can't get involved between the two? ”

Chu Lingfeng looked at Aya in bewilderment and said, "Uh...... What exactly do you mean? ”

Aya looked at heart: "I don't care what others think, but in my opinion, you are the most suitable for Bruce." His so-called lover, if he really loves him, why don't he fight side by side with him? Instead, you are by his side? Chu, I'm really not worth it for you. ”

Chu Lingfeng blinked his eyes twice, looking at Aya inexplicably, unable to understand how this vampire could suddenly become a warm-hearted and kind-hearted person.

Aya looked at Chu Lingfeng with a smile, and said in a seductive tone, "Chu, do you want to take Bruce away?" Do you want to be his only love? I can help you! ”

Chu Lingfeng looked at Aya suspiciously: "You...... Can you help me? ”

A confident smile appeared on the corner of Aya's mouth: "Of course." Don't forget, I'm a level sixteen great magician, and I'm also the strongest group in the entire continent. It's a high-level vampire again. In addition to orthodox magic, he also knows a lot of vampire secret arts. I can concoct a true love potion for you, as long as you let Bruce drink the true love potion, and from then on, he will only love you in his heart, and he will only love you. Chu, this is a good opportunity! ”

"Good chance?" Chu Lingfeng narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Aya, Bruce is really right, you are really a hopelessly evil creature. After being taught a lesson by Bruce, he knew that he was not easy to provoke, and he didn't dare to provoke him again, so he came back to me and beat the ghost idea from me? Aya, do you think I'm a good bully? ”

"I'm kind......" Aya's eyes widened, her face full of grievance. She bit her lip vigorously and said sadly: "Chu, I know that there are many misunderstandings between us. But this time I really just want to help you, without any bad intentions! ”

"Your words are not convincing." Chu Lingfeng pursed his lips: "As for me, although I look like a fool in many ways, it doesn't mean that I am really a fool." Do you want to control me in some way, and then influence Bruce through me, so that you can get out of Bruce's control, or even control Bruce in turn, right? ”

Aya seemed to have been greatly wronged, her eyes were filled with tears, her dark purple lips trembled uncontrollably, and the look on her face was so pitiful and pitiful, and she said in a trembling voice:

"Chu, how can you, how can you think of me like this? I really, really just want to help you! I lost my freedom, I was forced to surrender, and I don't know how much I will have to suffer in the future. I just want to...... By helping you, getting along with you, and becoming your good friend, life will be better in the future! ”

"Aya, your acting skills are really good, but this set is useless to me." Chu Lingfeng smiled and said, "No matter what your intentions are, your conspiracy will not succeed. Even if I'm a fool and fall for you, do you really think that your so-called true love potion can work against Bruce? ”

"How could it be useless?" Aya choked up and said, "I've tried it, and it's really useful." I once used this true love potion to make a girl fall in love with a chimpanzee...... Of course, that was before, and now I will never do such evil things again. Chu, I won't lie to you, believe me, okay? I just want to be a good person......"

"Tell the judge to go." Chu Lingfeng picked up a line in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It's still the same sentence, Aya, I won't fall for you." You don't have to think about influencing Bruce with any so-called potion. Is your potion more powerful than blood? He wasn't even afraid of the magic of the blood marrow. ”

"Uh......" Aya was stunned and muttered, "yes, how did I forget, that demon from Bruce, even the magic of the blood marrow can't affect him......"

Speaking of this, Aya gritted her teeth in annoyance, the tears in her eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the aggrieved and pitiful expression on her face disappeared without a trace, and the whole person seemed to have changed as if she had changed, and said casually: "What I said just now was just a joke, please don't take it to heart." Then again, do you think Bruce will be able to get the staff this time? ”

Chu Lingfeng didn't think it was strange at all when he said to Aya that he would change his face, and said casually: "Of course, Bruce will definitely succeed." ”

"You trust him so much?" Ayaqi said: "That black-robed man, his spell-casting ability may be stronger than mine. With thousands of living corpses in his hands, Bruce is strong but can't accomplish this impossible task, right? ”

"Mission impossible?" Chu Lingfeng smiled, "He has completed too many impossible tasks." No matter what you think, I believe he can do it. He's a man who is good at creating miracles. ”

Aya's eyes moved, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "In that case, why don't we make a bet?" ”

As soon as he saw her appearance, Chu Lingfeng knew that Aya, a beautiful evil creature, was going to plot a conspiracy with perseverance again. She shook her head and smiled, "Why can't you always learn your lesson?" Okay, I'll make a bet with you. I'm betting he'll bring back the staff. ”

"I bet he can't." Aya said quickly, "If you win, I'll give this to you." As she spoke, Aya wiped her belt and took out a thick book with a black cover from her storage belt.

The black cover of the book, glowing with a cold metallic luster, had the title written on it in some kind of cuneiform script that Chu Lingfeng had never seen, and under the title was a line of letters that were one size smaller. If you look closely, you will see that the two lines of text are like smoke, constantly changing, without stopping for a moment.

"This is a magic book, called the Book of Seven Losses." Aya introduced the book with a smile on her face: "This is a curse book made by a dark magician in ancient times, which records the seven curses of weakness, sluggishness, auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, confusion, withering, and aging. The seven curses are so powerful that they can inflict curses on both individual enemies and groups. Either curse is extremely effective at weakening enemies.

"Of course, although this book of curses can be used by both combat and spellcasters, even if it is only used once, it is a great burden on the spirit. Ordinary combat positions, mental power is not enough, and a curse cannot be activated. Chu, although your strength is not too strong, I can see that your spiritual power is far beyond that of ordinary combat positions of the same level.

"With your current mental power, you should be able to unleash a curse once a day. Of course, the three curses of chaos, withering, and aging, are too demanding to be activated for the time being. It can only activate the four curses of weakness, sluggishness, auditory hallucinations, and visual hallucinations.

"You can use it a little less often, but a curse that, if used properly, will allow you to take down enemies that are much stronger than you. And as your strength grows, one day, you will be able to unleash seven curses in a row. By that time, hehe, the legendary warriors may not be your opponents.

"How about it, Chu, my bet is not bad, right?"

Chu Lingfeng nodded and said, "Your bet is indeed good. But...... If I want to unleash seven curses in a row, I have to be strong enough to be a certain level, right? ”

"That can't be helped. The more powerful the magic item, the more demanding it is for the user. Aya shrugged her shoulders and said, "Although your situation is relatively special, and your spiritual power far exceeds that of the same rank, but if you want to launch seven curses, according to my calculations, you will get your sixteenth level at least." ”

Chu Lingfeng thought for a while and said, "Okay, I accept this bet." If I win, I'll get this book of seven losses. What about you? If you win, what bet do you want? For the record, I don't have any magic items to be had. ”

Aya waved her hand and said with a smile: "Of course I know this, the magic items on your body were all obtained from the treasure house of the blood clan, and they were originally picked up by us high-level blood clans. But I'm not short of magic items, and if you lose, you don't need to pay anything, just promise me one thing. ”

"Oh? What do I promise you? Chu Lingfeng doesn't like this vague condition very much, if he is not careful, he will be fooled. Even if she was sure that she would win this time, she didn't want to take such a vague bet.

"Rest assured, I promise that my conditions won't be against you, and they won't be against Bruce." Aya said solemnly: "When the time comes, if you find out that what I want you to do is detrimental to the interests of you and Bruce, you can directly refuse." ”

"That's ......" Chu Lingfeng thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I agreed." ”

The bet was made, and the two high-fived and swore an oath.

After three high-fives, Aya said with a smile: "Chu, I won this time......"

As he spoke, he heard Philine El's surprised voice coming from the tree: "Lord Bruce is back!" He got the staff, and there were no pursuers behind him! ”

Hearing Philene El's shout, Aya was stunned at first, then stood up and said dumbfounded: "Really? That's impossible! ”

As she spoke, she flew up the tree and came to Philine El's side, and following Philine El's line of sight, she saw Li Qing indeed appear at the foot of the mountain, holding a long black staff, and was running wildly along the bridge-like ridge up the mountain.

"How so? How the hell did he do it? That's a magician with spellcasting abilities that are no less than mine, maybe even more than me, and an army of thousands of living corpses...... How did he do it? Aya muttered a few words in despair, then gritted her teeth and said, "That bastard, why didn't you come back earlier?" Even if it's just a few minutes in the morning, I'm ......."

As she spoke, she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. Turning her head to look, she saw Chu Lingfeng standing beside her with a smile, stretched out his hand to her, and said, "The Book of Seven Losses, Xie Lu Xie." ”

Aya's face suddenly fell.......
