Volume 1 The Wasteland Chapter 15 Debunked
Chunyue was a little tired after nearly two days of running, but she still got up very early to pack her bags and prepare to continue her journey.
The black dragon was completely ignored by the snoring and sleeping on the side, even if Chunyue deliberately made a loud noise, it had no intention of getting up, and it didn't even raise its eyelids.
"Hey, hey, don't sleep, get up, it's time to get there today, right?" Chunyue shouted.
The black dragon moved his ears, gasped for breath, and turned his head to the other side.
"You're still sleeping, you rested very early yesterday, you haven't slept enough, get up quickly. After speaking, he grabbed the horn on the black dragon's head and shook it from side to side.
The black dragon didn't care, he didn't open his eyes when he thought she was noisy and shaking, anyway, she stopped when she was tired of shaking.
"I'm sorry, okay, you wait. Chunyue took the dry wood left over from yesterday's fire and walked to the black dragon's tail and lit the fire directly.
The black dragon roared, jumped up suddenly, flicked its tail quickly, and stared at Chunyue viciously.
"Get up, let's go. As if nothing had happened, she walked straight to the black dragon's neck and prepared to ride.
The black dragon helplessly picked her up, spread his wings, and flew into the sky in a few simple steps.
"It's time to arrive today, it's the third day, and there will be no time to collect spirit stones if you don't arrive again. The black dragon did not respond, and continued to fly in the current direction, not fast, rising and falling from time to time, feeling like he was playing.
Chunyue felt that it was absent-minded, but she didn't dare to say anything, for fear that she would land early to rest like yesterday, and delay the time even more.
After flying for more than two hours, the black dragon began to descend, landed on the periphery of a dead bush, and after falling, he directly lay on the sand dune and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Chunyue got down from its neck, looked at it briefly, and said to the black dragon, "Is this here? Why didn't I see anything, you won't rest again, right?"
The black dragon lifted his eyelids and looked into the depths of the dead bushes, and nodded a few times for her to enter.
Chunyue walked into the dead wood, carefully exploring step by step, and suddenly heard the sound of rustling behind him, and immediately turned around, and found that the withered bush was shaking slightly, so he pulled out his wand from behind him, and said in his mouth: "Chaco wolves, I'm Jabek..."
"Wasteland Rabbit, it's actually a Wasteland Rabbit, you..."
"Wasteland Rabbit, it's not a monster, are you trying to make fun of me, or are you hungry again, I..."
"Why is it so cooperative this time, does it realize that it is wrong? "The black dragon has already flown into the sky, and Junyue is still a little confused.
The black dragon maintained a certain altitude and flew for a while, and a large lake appeared on the earthy yellow sand, reflecting the sky like a mirror. Chunyue looked down, she had never heard of such a large body of water in the wasteland in her memory.
The black dragon seemed to be attracted by the mirror-like lake, hovering in the sky and admiring its own posture as it flew.
"What kind of place is this, I never knew such a beautiful lake in the moorland. Chunyue saw that the black dragon was interested, thinking that she had reached her destination, and the previous unhappiness was left behind.
After circling a few laps, the black dragon slowly descended, ready to land.
"Are we here? Seeing that you are so happy, you are really here? ”
As the altitude decreases, the calm surface of the lake becomes clearer, but the water is not affected by the flapping wings, and there is not a single ripple. The black dragon instinctively stood up, flicked its wings quickly, and hovered in the air.
Chunyue was taken aback, hugged the black dragon's neck tightly, and subconsciously looked down to see that the lake where their figures reflected was not water at all, but land, smooth like a mirror, and it was difficult to distinguish from the sky.
"This, this is not a lake. Junyue stared at her reflection in amazement.
The black dragon maintained a hovering posture and slowly descended. Until he landed, he spread his wings and took a small tentative step, for fear of slipping. After making sure that there was no abnormality in the adhesion of the mirror, he put away his posture and lowered his head to let Chunyue come down.
"It's so beautiful, reflecting the blue sky, walking on it feels like walking in the clouds. Chunyue sighed as she watched the clouds flutter under her feet.
While she was enjoying this beautiful scenery, ripples appeared on the calm mirror, at first it was one, and slowly became more, and spiders emerged from the center of the ripples, about seven or eight of them, all of them were about one meter in size, and the color was not like ordinary spiders, all of them were monochrome, red, yellow, blue, and so on.
"Is this a magical beast that dropped spirit stones? It's so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen such a colorful spider. Chunyue asked the black dragon, but the black dragon was just stalling for time, and it didn't know what it was, so it looked down at its reflection and pretended not to hear.
"Cyclops, Chakko wolves, I, Jabek Chunyue, have summoned you to fight for me, using my soul as a medium, and appear. Chunyue smiled and looked at the spiders of different colors with a relaxed expression.
The cyclops stood in the middle, and the wolves scattered on both sides formed a semicircle, surrounding the pure moon behind him. The giant looked at the monochrome spider and scratched his head, then turned back and smiled silly at Junyue.
"It's the first time you've seen these spiders, but don't worry, they're not powerful. Junyue explained to it, and then signaled that they were free to fight and did not need to defend themselves.
After receiving the order, the Chaco wolves attacked in groups, a total of more than a dozen, and in the face of the spiders, they had a numerical advantage, and then adopted a one-on-one tactic, and the extra few roamed around the periphery, looking for opportunities to help their companions.
The cyclops sat on the ground with an iron rod in one hand and chin in the other, posing as if he were watching the performance, with no intention of participating.
Since they all thought that they were facing low-level magical beasts, the battle would end quickly, so the overall atmosphere was relaxed and there was no trace of tension. Chunyue was leisurely enjoying the scenery on the sidelines, and didn't take the battle to heart.
The wolf pack's offensive strategy quickly saw the effect, the spiders were trapped in place, but from the perspective of a single battle situation, the wolf pack did not have the upper hand, according to common sense, they were both primary barren layers, and the wolves had a numerical advantage, they should be able to kill these spiders easily, and they should not be so glued.
The cyclops sitting on the ground also felt that something was wrong, so he got up and joined the fight, picked up the iron rod and smashed it indiscriminately, forcibly separating the two sides. The wolves got a breather and licked each other's wounds. The spiders also came together, spun silk and weaved webs in all directions, and after a while, a large web covered the mirror, forming a protective circle.
The wolves cautiously wandered around the periphery, not daring to act rashly, but the cyclops ignored it and ran directly to the spider, and after stepping on the cobweb, he was stuck in place and could not move.
When the spider saw that the cyclops had been captured, he immediately surrounded him, stopped where his iron rod could not reach, and sprayed cobwebs at it, and in the blink of an eye the giant was tightly wrapped and writhed back and forth like a chrysalis.
Seeing this, Junyue immediately drew her dagger and prepared to step forward to cut through the cobwebs. Aware of the danger, the black dragon grabbed her clothes in his mouth, stopping her movements.
"What are you doing, and you don't need your help, don't make trouble. Junyue struggled desperately, and the black dragon raised his head and lifted her into the air, then walked towards the cobweb.
Seeing this, the wolves quickly dodged. The black dragon put one foot on the cobweb, then spread its wings and flew upwards with all its might, and due to the huge lift, the cobwebs were all lifted up along with the spiders and cyclops on it. In the process of liftoff, the black dragon kept shaking its feet, and the spider that was originally spinning silk and crawling down swung back and forth, losing its center of gravity. Due to the weight of the cyclops, he broke away from the cobwebs and fell to the ground.
When the black dragon saw that it had achieved its goal, it began to descend, and the wolves on the ground were already waiting there, and as soon as the dazed spiders touched the ground, they swarmed up and tore them apart.
After landing, the black dragon carefully put down Chunyue, she hurriedly stepped forward to check the condition of the cyclops, cut through the cobweb, and found that it had just fallen from a high place and fainted, and the injury was not serious, so she was relieved.
These spiders are the cubs of the high-level barren layer leader-level magical beast Colorful Spider, and this is its territory, Liuli Lake, which can be reflected like a mirror, and it looks exactly like the lake from the air.
The colorful spider has a colorful body, a total of seven colors, and its size is huge, about four times the size of these cubs, and it is lucky that it is not encountered today, and it is impossible to get out so easily not only with the strength of Chunyue.
After a simple cleaning of the battlefield, there were no spirit stones in the loot, and the battle was not easy, Chunyue had more and more questions, so he asked the black dragon: "Didn't you say the beginner-level demonic beasts, black dragon, don't you want to fool around again, explain it to me clearly." ”
"Do you know where your destination is, you have been taking me around blindly for the past few days, thinking that you have finally arrived at the place, but it turned out to be like this. I have some questions for you, just nod or shake your head. Chunyue stood in front of the black dragon with angry eyebrows and fierce eyes.
Seeing Chunyue's posture of not giving up without asking clearly, the black dragon knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he was forced to nod.
"Okay, since you agreed, then let me ask you, haven't you been here before?" the black dragon nodded.
"Is there no low-level magical beast that can drop spirit stones at all?" the black dragon nodded.
"Are you deliberately taking me around and delaying time?" the black dragon nodded.
"I understand, are these all Mu Chen's orders?Why did he do this?" The black dragon looked at Chunyue and didn't make any response, it didn't know why it was doing this, it just did what it was ordered.
"You don't know, do you, then I'll ask you again, can you take me back to him now?" the black dragon shook his head.
"Then I don't need you, I'll go by myself. With that, Junyue summoned the cyclops who had not yet woken up and led the wolves in the opposite direction.
The black dragon did not follow, but opened a distance and silently followed.
After walking like this for a few hours, Chunyue's anger gradually subsided, and she was thinking all the way: "Why did Mu Chen lie to me, if he wanted to get rid of me, then he didn't need to let the black dragon take me around, and if necessary, he would protect me, and it wouldn't be easier to throw me directly in the hinterland of the wasteland." If it's to break me away, then what is his purpose?" Chunyue couldn't think of a reason why Mu Chen did this, but now that the lie had been exposed, she just wanted to see Mu Chen as soon as possible and ask what was going on.
The day passed like this, and she led the wolves in the wrong direction, and the black dragon followed silently, both of them knew each other's existence, but neither broke the silence.
Early the next morning, Chunyue came to the black dragon and said, "I'll ask again, can you take me back to Mu Chen?"
Chunyue knew that she couldn't walk out of the wasteland alone, and she would definitely encounter all kinds of demonic beasts on the way, she didn't have the ability to protect herself, and the wisest choice now was to rely on the black dragon, and only in the sky could she avoid danger.
The black dragon's idea is very simple, delay a little more on the way back with Chunyue, and the week will soon arrive, which can not only complete the task assigned by Mu Chen, but also ensure her safety, which is much safer than following behind.
In this way, Chunyue rode the black dragon and flew into the sky again, and embarked on the journey back to see Mu Chen with questions.
