Chapter 145: Victory and Reunion
The blue flame flowed into the chrysanthemum monster like a pouring of boiling water.
Gao Huan and the three of them stood not far away, watching the huge golden chrysanthemum in front of them go from screaming to gradually quieting, from constantly writhing and struggling to motionless, from full of green to finally withering and yellowing, until finally it was burned by the blue flames rising from the inside and turned into mud and dust.
This process lasted about ten minutes, and Gao Huan and Zhang Qiling even ate a whole compressed biscuit to recover their strength while watching the "burning at the stake".
At first, Gao Huan's reason for waiting here was simple, it was nothing more than to retrieve the long sword that could emit blue flames.
Although he didn't know the grade of this weapon, judging from the fact that it easily incinerated a compressed version of a tiger-level beast, it should at least be a blue-letter weapon of the best grade.
Then Zhang Qiling also told him about the process of his encounter with Ding You after killing the seriously injured enemy in the mist.
As he spoke, Zhang Qiling took out the weapon held by the brown-skinned teenager from the backpack behind him—a knot shaped like a gallows rope.
Whether it is Zhang Qiling or Ding You, as long as they are caught in the neck by this knot, whether it is the core of magic or the artificial core, the energy in the body seems to be restrained, and they will no longer respond to the user's call at all.
From this, it can be judged that this knot should be a bondage tool, which can completely suppress the ability of a low-level magician or mechanic in a short period of time, making it as weak as an ordinary person and allowed to be slaughtered.
Why is it for low-level magicians and mechanics?
Because when Gao Huan put this knot on his body, although the magic core located in the middle of his chest could not mobilize his magic power at all, the "meteor" core hidden in his skull was not affected at all and operated as usual.
Therefore, Gao Huan can probably judge that there is an inevitable upper limit to the inhibition effect of this knot on energy. And where is the specific upper limit, it is impossible to draw a conclusion based on Gao Huan's own test alone.
Fortunately, there is also an appraisal agency in the novice village, and as long as you pay enough points, you can identify all the items you get in the hunting area.
In addition to this knot, Zhang Qiling also got a coin from the opponent she killed.
This coin is no different from the usual gold coins, the shape is simple, and there is no magic or energy fluctuation attached to it, which is extremely ordinary.
But the fact that such an ordinary coin appeared at the same moment as the knot that turned the tide of battle is enough to show that it is unusual.
In the moment when a few people were chatting, the huge golden chrysanthemum had been completely burned, and Gao Huan returned the knot and coin to Zhang Qiling and walked towards the remaining ashes.
The blue flame sword slammed diagonally into the scorched earth, as if it had exhausted its strength, and its light dimmed.
Gao Huan casually pulled up the long sword and was about to turn away, but in a blink of an eye, he saw a touch of green in the black ashes.
The tiger-level fierce beasts were all burned by this blue flame, but this touch of green was not extinguished, which made Gao Huan have to look at it twice.
It was a soft green vine, standing out in the pitch-black scorched earth.
Not far from the vines, there are some waxy bones, which are also very conspicuous.
"How coincidentally?" Gao Huan touched his chin and sighed.
Isn't this vine exactly the same as the knot that the old woman gave to her on a hidden mission!
Zhang Qiling and Ding You saw Gao Huan standing in place in a daze, and they also came up in confusion, followed Gao Huan's line of sight, and immediately found the green vine and bones.
"Isn't this the 'Ivy Very'? What's the deal with these bones? Zhang Qiling said and walked in, twisted the piece of green vine from the scorched earth, and then looked at the yellowed dry bones with a puzzled face.
Gao Huan was silent for a moment, took off his coat, and then solemnly wrapped the bones in his clothes and made them into a burden.
The old woman said that her grandson had come alone to the Third Hunting Ground to collect medicine and then disappeared. Then it is obvious that his grandson was swallowed by this big chrysanthemum in the process of collecting medicine, leaving only bones and this ivy that will not decay. ”
Gao Huan put the clothes wrapped in the bones into his backpack, and then said: "I didn't expect that Ding You just walked around casually, and directly found the key point of the clue. It really helped us a lot. ”
For the yellowed dry bones, Ding You seems to be a little uncomfortable.
She didn't show obvious joy because of Gao Huan's praise, but looked at the remnants of the bones being packed into the backpack, frowned deeply, and said unbearably: "That old grandmother has been waiting for her grandson all along, but she didn't expect this result. ”
Although it had long been known that all the characters on the island were magicians and cyborgs, except for the Practitioners, these magical and technological creations were so realistic that they were almost realistic.
In the face of these figurines and robots that seem to really have human feelings, it is really difficult for Ding You not to be moved, even if these joys and sorrows have nothing to do with her, or even with real humans.
Gao Huan understood that this was not the time to be sad, he put his backpack back on his back, and said, "Now is not the time to be sad, we must find Ge Muchen and Zhang Liang as soon as possible, and go back to the novice village to hand in the task." ”
Zhang Qiling also nodded, held Ding You's shoulder, and said, "Little sister, these things are just props for the task, they are all routines." So, don't get too addicted, or be careful of being shocked. ”
"I know, don't worry about me." Ding You looked at Zhang Qiling and nodded.
She suddenly had a hint of envy for the liberal arts girl in front of her who was carrying a big knife and had always been indomitable.
If one day, she can be as unscrupulous as Zhang Qiling, what kind of feeling should it be.
Ding You shook his head, threw these unrealistic ideas out of his mind, and then left the land that had been scorched by the flames with Zhang Qiling's support.
At this moment, a sound of rustling came from far and near, coming from the surrounding trees and barren grass, as if something was coming from all directions, surrounding the small place where Gao Huan, Zhang Qiling, and Ding You were standing.
"Be careful!" Gao Huan hurriedly took two steps back, protecting the two girls behind him, his brows furrowed.
Although the big chrysanthemum has been wiped out, it has been deeply rooted in this place for many years, how can there not be a group of little brothers under the shade of greenery.
With a shake of the grass, a huge black cockroach the size of a wild dog crawled out of the shadows.
Then, Gao Huan heard the two girls behind him let out a huge scream that shook the earth.
