Seeing Chongyang's expression, Ai Kales smiled and handed back the kettle in his hand.
"I want a kettle, but it's not worth it to owe you an imperial favor. ”
Chongyang, who was speechless, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this implicit word.
"Take it if you want, it's not an important thing anyway, and it's not your favor. ”
"Oh?" said Ekales, who looked a little surprised, as if he didn't expect the brunette youth to say that.
Chongyang looked into the other party's eyes.
"Answer me a question if you can...... How did you find me in the fog?"
A twinkle flashed in Aikales' eyes.
“......”
"Hear?"
"Well, if I want to, concentrate and hear all the movement within a radius of a few hundred meters. Aicules took another sip and grinned, "Tough, isn't it?"
Chongyang's brows furrowed slightly.
"It's tough. ”
"Oh, you're really so confident. Don't doubt it at all?" said Ekales seemed surprised again, and the curvature of his mouth became a little strange.
"I don't doubt your ability to detect humans in the fog. Chongyang said calmly.
Aikales looked at him for a while, and his expression became more and more strange.
"You're a good guy too. He suddenly burst out of this sentence in the middle of the ring, and when Chongyang was stunned when he heard it, he laughed, raised the kettle and shook it.
"That's it, thank you. ”
......
Due to the common predicament, the Shura Alliance Shattering Mage and the Wren Empire's Magical Fire Mage, who have temporarily reached a ceasefire partnership, travel together in the thick fog to find a way out of this strange fog environment.
Chongyang will not be because of Ekares's unusually talkative - or rather wordy personality. And let your guard down. He also believed that the other party was just as wary of himself. After all, it may be a bit of an unexpected quirk to be able to reach the elite peak of the Shura Alliance and come to the genius of the Three Kingdoms Conference. But definitely not a fool.
At the time of the gushing of Mourn Calles. Even when he seemed most emotional, Chongyang could see the true indifference in his eyes. Sharp, cold, as if ignoring all the evil in the world. is closer to the essence of this magician who killed a thousand people in vain at a young age.
Apathetic people usually don't like to talk, but Mourning Calles is more noisy than the middle-aged tavern owner, and there must be hidden secrets in it. Chongyang was curious, but he didn't ask, and he didn't stop this temporary ally's nonsense, as long as it didn't disturb him to meditate and rest.
In the thick fog and confusion, the red-haired young man with the big knife on his back spoke endlessly, and the black-haired young man with a calm expression did not say a word, forming a delicate combination.
Seven days later.
"The terrain is irregular, and the markings that have been made have not appeared again...... Chongyang thought about summing up the exploration situation for so long, "The key should not be in the geographical direction, then the only thing left is ......"
Warcraft!
"Do you think it's a monster that's doing it?"
After listening to the analysis of the black-haired youth, Aikales touched his chin.
"Well, it could be one, or it could be a group. Chongyang's eyes flickered, "Other than that, all other inferences that can be thought of have been ruled out." ”
"I know you read more than I do, so of course I believe you. So, how do we find the damn brute?"
"It's up to you. Didn't you say at the beginning that you could hear all the movement in a large area, and now you have to use your ability. Look for a direction where there are fewer monsters. ”
"The direction of less Warcraft...... Are you sure? If we go to a place where there are no monsters, we will starve to death. Aikales narrowed his eyes.
"It is precisely because of this possibility that we should choose this direction. Chongyang said in a deep voice.
A moment of silence. Ai Keres realized the deep meaning of Chongyang's words, and the corners of his mouth pulled up the usual arc.
"Alright, let's go! Kill the beast quickly. Get rid of this annoying mist!I'm not good at thinking about things, I'm the strongest at cutting monsters!"
After that, led by Ekales with his magical ability to listen in a large area, the two quickly went deep into the dense fog.
One day, two days, four days...... There are fewer and fewer demonic beasts that can be encountered, which on the one hand means that Aikales has chosen the direction required by Chongyang, and on the other hand, it means that the two of them must save the remaining crystal nucleus.
Ten days later.
The red-haired young man who was gushing behind was completely silent, and instead looked at the black-haired young man with a sharp and cold look from time to time.
Chongyang naturally noticed the change in the other party's attitude. But the throw is to keep the same calm and silent as before. Didn't say a single superfluous word.
The crystal nuclei in the reserve of the two of them are decreasing every day. This is the pressure of seeing the resources of survival gradually depleted. It's enough to make people instinctively panic, and then derive other more negative emotions.
What was Ai Kales thinking now, Chongyang Bu knew, but he just felt the chill emanating from the Shattered Destruction Mage's body getting stronger and stronger day by day. He no longer spoke, the smile on his lips narrowed, and he no longer carried the red-handled broadsword on his back, but held it on his shoulder as he had done when they began to meet. Maintain the posture that you can slash in the next second.
I don't know how many days later, the two finally reached the point where they could only eat one crystal nucleus a day. Rao is like this, and the remaining crystal nuclei can't last long.
After a long journey, and while resting again, the silent red-haired youth suddenly spoke.
"About five...... My squadron carried out a surprise attack deep into the enemy's position, causing the enemy to be miserable, but when retreating, he made a mistake and failed to meet up with the reinforcements who came to meet him.
“...... Three regiments of enemy troops pursued after us, and the squadron leader could only lead all the men to flee to the nearby mountain, but he could not escape, and was surrounded by enemy troops and trapped on the top of the mountain. ”
"At that time, including me, there were more than three hundred brothers left in the entire squadron, and everyone was an elite. Guarding on the top of the mountain, he repelled three strong attacks by the enemy. ”
"The squadron leader said that the above would definitely send troops to the rescue, and the brothers believed it, but the reinforcements did not come for a long time, but the enemy troops under the mountain gathered more and more......"
"Breaking out is definitely a death, and surrender is not enough. Because if you take refuge in the enemy, your family will be affected...... You can only live and consume. ”
"The food was eaten and the water was drunk. Everything on the top of the mountain that could be used to fill the stomach has been rummaged through by us, and there is nothing left. ”
Aikales muttered, the corners of his mouth slowly pulling into a similar but strange arc as before.
“...... Want to know what happened next?"
Chongyang looked at him and was silent.
"Give me a blue crystal to tell you. Aikales grinned and stretched out his hand, his expression a little cynical and gloomy and cold.
Playfulness and profundity are reflected in his face at the same time. And in his eyes, a trace of inexplicable light flickered, revealing a cold and dangerous aura.
Chongyang squinted slightly and waved his hand. Three blue crystal nuclei, slicing through three blue parabolas, landed on the palm of Aikales.
"Three for you, not one, so you don't need to tell me what happened later. ”
Chongyang said lightly and threw a small crystal nucleus into his mouth.
"It's not a favor either, it's a reward for you to show me the way. ”
The curvature of the corners of Aikales's mouth froze, and his expression was obviously stunned for a while.
He stared at the three blue crystal nuclei in his hand for a long time, and the light in his eyes flashed a few times, returning to a deep calm.
"I'm kidding. ”
Aikales looked back at the black-haired young man's face.
"I'm not kidding. ”
Chongyang replied calmly.
The two looked at each other for a long silence.
Echokales finally silently put away the three crystal nuclei, turned his gaze away, and said nothing. And Chongyang didn't think too much about it from beginning to end. He wasn't pretentious, he wasn't stupid, he got along with this temporary ally in his own way.
The vigilance against the red-haired youth has never been relaxed. So as long as you don't fight, Chongyang doesn't care what the other party thinks, that's it.
Suddenly, Ekales stood abruptly, his red-handled broadsword in his hand.
"There's movement ahead, a lot of movement!"
As soon as the words fell, Chongyang, who was holding the green tooth long knife and the scepter of glory, also heard it, and there was a faint sound of something erupting in the thick fog.
"Let's go!"
Excited looks welled up on their faces, and they rushed to the source of the sound in unison, hearing louder and louder rumbles, monster roars, and heavy objects falling to the ground......
Mutant right eye enabled, remote perspective!
Chongyang lifted his red pupils, and suddenly saw the distant scene in front of him: a young man wearing a silver silk robe on a blue background was fighting a strange magical beast with a fur color as changeable as mist!
"Someone got ahead of us!" cried Ekares.
"That person is ......," Chongyang quickly recalled the message of the blue-robed youth.
"Huh?" The blue-robed young man who was fighting the Misty Demon Beast seemed to feel Chongyang's gaze. I glanced in this direction from a distance.
Pale gray, almost white shoulder-length hair, eyebrows as sharp and straight as a sword, and eyes as clear as water. Her skin was as white as snow and as handsome as a woman.
And when he turned his head to look to the side, the body opposite him was as large as a bear, and the head was shaped like a lion. But it has six full legs, its feet are like eagle claws, and its fur is constantly changing colors. With a flash of sharpness, he raised his long tail like a scorpion's tail and shot out a red spike, hitting him like a cannonball!
Peng!
The diamond-shaped spikes pierced through the blue-robed youth's enchantment magic, blasting it upside down, flying seven or eight meters away in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, I've been killed!" shouted Ekares, who was on the way to the sprint, sensing the movement.
At this time, the lion-headed monster that knocked the opponent away, but did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but seemed to find that someone else was coming, the huge body twisted, and the six claws flew up, and suddenly exploded at an astonishing speed, like a vain wind whistling, galloping away.
"Beast, give me a wait!"
Ekares brandished his broadsword and roared. However, when he and Chongyang arrived at the scene of the battle, the lion-headed monster was gone.
"It's hard to find it! Can't it be delayed a little longer!?Waste!" Ekales scolded as he looked in the direction of the lion-headed monster out of the range of his senses.
"Who do you say is scrap?"
A cold voice sounded, and the blue-robed young man holding a silver-white sword slowly approached, his handsome face frosty. With a flick of his sword, a little ice slag fell to the ground, and it was the remains of the red spikes shot by the lion-headed monster just now.
"If it weren't for the two of you coming out to stir things up. I've already killed it. ”
