Chapter Ninety-Six: Departure
"Boy?"
"It's just that my aunt gave you two baskets of fruit, and she held your hand and didn't let go of that. ”
At the mention of this, Bai Shengye had goosebumps. But come to think of it, there is something strange about that incident, and the boy who was originally infected by the demon should not survive.
He hurriedly asked:
"What's going on? This has something to do with you?"
"I have the ability to absorb dark power in my right hand," Bai Shengye always knew that he had dark power, so there was nothing to hide from him. "It was I who saved the little boy that day. ”
When Bai Shengye heard this, he immediately pounced like a devil and grabbed his wrist, "What? You actually have this ability! Quickly let me draw some blood and study it!"
"What, you people from the Medicine Immortal Family are all perverts, right?" Hei Yu broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of being studied by the white scorpion as an experimental subject, and he had a psychological shadow in this matter.
Who knew that Bai Shengye had already picked up the needle on the table, aimed at Hei Yu's arm and was about to draw blood.
"No! no!" Black Feather leaned against the corner and screamed, "I have a phobia of needles!"
But he was still held down by Bai Shengye and took away a large tube of blood.
"If it's okay, I'm going to inform Reimu-san now. Teacher Xia Li said, "If Hei Yu can go along, I also have to ask Dean Yun Lan." ”
"Then I'll go too!" Ling Xiao said with tears. If Hei Yu wasn't there, she wouldn't know who to turn to to cultivate.
Teacher Xia Li felt a headache. As soon as he exited the door, he saw Hei Yu and Bai Shengye rushing out of the door, and said in unison:
"Teacher Xia Li, don't bother! I'll inform Reimu!"
Black Feather strode towards Reimu's bedroom, and Bai Shengye was not far behind, and the two arrived at Reimu's door almost at the same time. Hei Yu knocked on the door, Bai Shengye sorted out his meter, cleared his throat and said:
"Lady Mengmeng, are you there?"
Kuroba felt sick.
The door was opened through a crack in the inside, and Reimu's soft figure appeared behind the door, her long hair hanging down on her shoulders, wearing only pajamas and pajamas, looking closer and more accommodating than usual, and the unique fragrance of the girl's room wafted in.
As soon as she saw that it was the two of them, Reimu immediately wanted to close the door.
"Wait, wait, we've got business!" Black Feather called out to her.
"Look at it, you scared me, get out of the way and let me come. Bai Shengye pushed Black Feather aside.
"Reimeng beauty, there is a rescue mission to the southern forest, Teacher Yun Lan sent us to leave tomorrow morning. ”
The two of them explained their intentions in a gossipy.
"Oh, I see. Reimu closed the door.
Outside the dormitory building, Shenmu of the Shenlong Clan welcomed the princess back to Dragon Island with great fanfare with his subordinates. The luxurious sedan chair was parked in the middle, but the students were used to it.
Hei Yu and Ling Xiao saw her off with tears, and Shen Zai's eyes were slightly red.
"Brother Black Feather, I'm going to miss you. ”
"Maybe we'll meet again soon, I happen to have a rescue mission here to go to the southern forest, and I'll look for you when the time comes. ”
"Really?"
"You can wait for us in Dragon Island with peace of mind. ”
The little girl turned from sadness to joy, and her face was full of anticipation.
"Ahem. Uncle Shenmu coughed and signaled that it was time for Shenzai to go. The sedan chair slowly drove away, Shen Zai Jing poked her head out, reluctantly waved out of the window, and Hei Yumu sent her away.
Early the next morning, outside the East City Gate, the people who participated in the rescue and assistance met with the people waiting there.
Leading the team is a female warrior with long red hair, who belongs to the League of Magicians. There are also three light elf girls from other magic schools in the Central Continent, who are not tall and look shy.
The female warrior's eyes were fierce and cold, she looked like she was in her twenties, and she carried a huge sword, and the scabbard was full of traces of battle, which had been worn out over the years. She opened her mouth and said:
"I'm the captain of this operation, my name is Red Heart, and I'm from the Divine Dragon Clan. ”
"The Divine Dragon Clan," Black Feather thought to himself, "and the Divine Slaughter are of the same race. ”
She said sternly:
"Rescue the wounded, the task is arduous, the time is pressing, say goodbye to your teachers. ”
Yun Lan said with a serious face:
"In this operation, we will go to the Red Harbor, the northeast of the Southern Continent and the territory of the Divine Dragon Clan, and you are only responsible for rescue, not participating in the battle. On the way, you must obey the arrangements of Captain Chixin and fully cooperate. Let's go, kids!"
"Guaranteed mission!" everyone said in unison.
After waving goodbye to Dean Yunlan, several people went with the red-haired warrior and the three elven girls.
The road east of the city gate leads directly to the Red Harbor. Red Harbor is a remote port in the southeast, facing the Red Sea, which is very depressed and semi-abandoned due to the dark winds of the eastern continent. At the same time, it is also the closest port to the southern continent.
The road is flat and wide, with trees on both sides. Bai Shengye was carrying a huge medicine box with many lattices behind him, and there were bottles and cans tied around him, it seemed that he was really prepared.
Ling Xiao was as excited as before a school trip, with a camera hanging around his neck.
Along the way, the red-haired warrior walked silently at the forefront, with an oppressive force in his aura that was difficult to approach. Reimu and the three elven girls walked together, chatting all the way, and gradually became acquainted.
It's not a long walk from the Holy City to the Red Harbor, half a day's journey. The road was very quiet, and there were few travelers and merchants, so in order to avoid the attack of the monsters, they specially bypassed a large forest with an eerie atmosphere, which was called the "Forest of Destruction".
Black Feather glanced at the tall forest with some regret.
On the next slope, the vegetation is very sparse, and the gray sea surface in the distance appears in front of you, full of murderous atmosphere, and the sea surface seems to be full of resentment, and there is no bottom. The scarlet shores are lined with shabby, dirty fishing boats.
Red Harbor was the first to be attacked by demons from across the sea, and although the border has been cleared of demons, it is remote and backward, and there are still many refugees infected by demons.
Walk through the woods to the beach, where the sand is covered with reddish gravel, thick white foam floats on the shore, and some dark algae washed up by the waves.
Looking into the distance, the sky was gray and low, and the sea was dull with turbid waves, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.
Next to the Red Harbor is a poor fishermen's village, nestled in a mountain nest by the sea, with low, dilapidated houses and nets drying on charred roofs. Farther on the hillside, an Imperial Army sentry could be seen.
"The wounded were in the front room. The red-haired warrior turned around and beckoned the men behind him to follow suit.
Ling Xiao bumped into Hei Yu as she walked with tears, "She looks so serious." ”
