Chapter XVII. Directives

Withered Mountain, at the foot of the mountain.

His muscles swelled, his hands pressed on the door of the trial, and with a burst of force, accompanied by the harsh sound of stone grinding, the heavy stone door was slowly pushed open. After pushing open the door of the trial, his muscles deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and before the stone door was closed, Ji Burong hurriedly walked in, followed by the sycamore on the side.

"Whew! It's getting harder and harder every year," said Je Burong, looking back at the slowly closing door, "I've been working here for almost ten years, and I can only open the second door until now, I'm really useless." ”

"The second door weighs eight tons, it's amazing that you can open it," Sycamore comforted him as he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then as if he remembered something, his voice gradually lowered: "After all...... Compared to some monsters, ordinary people can't reach it no matter how hard they try......"

Ji Burong was silent, as if some memories were evoked by his words, and neither of them spoke anymore, and walked silently towards the depths of the dense forest.

The light in the dense forest is dark, and the dense vegetation obscures most of the moonlight, and occasionally a ray of light shines through the gaps in the leaves, but it makes the dense forest even more eerie. The two walked to a small road, and Wutong stopped Ji Burong, who still wanted to continue walking, and whistled ahead.

A giant wolf with a snow-white body and no impurities walked out of the dense bushes, shook the fallen leaves that stuck to his body, and after his empty pupils glanced at the two of them, he lazily lay on the ground.

"Is this the new watchdog?" Even if he was just glanced at, he broke out in a cold sweat, "I can't see any emotion in its eyes, compared to the previous one, it's like a machine......"

"Its name is Sanmao, and it is a magical beast that has been trained to perfection after four years with the head of the family," Wutong explained on the side, "not only is it far superior to its kind in strength, but it also has no pain nerves, as long as it is an enemy who meets the conditions of the order, it will not stop attacking until it dies." ”

"It now remembers the look and smell of the two of us, and will be fine as long as you enter through the gate."

After listening to Wutong's words, Ji Burong breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I can rest assured, by the way, does Mr. Wutong want to go to my cabin to sit for a while?" Congratulations on passing the assessment and becoming an official housekeeper! As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Wutong's face stiffen, and after thinking for a while, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of that incident!" ”

"It's okay," Wutong came back to his senses and smiled self-deprecatingly: "We have been taught since childhood to give everything for the family, and I don't resent the CEO of Zi Po Nian, if I replaced her with me, I would do the same...... Speaking of which, it was because he killed the CEO of Zi Po Nian that I got this opportunity, didn't I? ”

He walked to the hut with some trepidation, as if remembering something, and suddenly asked:

"This morning...... You've seen it all, right? ”

Ji Burong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "You mean...... That friend of Master Jag and Master Mi Ji ......"

"As a subordinate, I shouldn't have asked about these things, but I really can't hold back my curiosity......" Wutong said with a solemn face: "At noon today, after Master Jiege came back, he gave an order......

"In the future, all members of the family are forbidden to make a move against Young Master Miji's friend...... His exact words were that the boy was dangerous, and if it was about him, forget it! ”

"So I'm wondering what happened this morning, I'm sure you saw it, right?"

While speaking, the two of them had already walked into the servant's hut at the side door, and after pouring a cup of hot tea for Wutong, he also sat down with the teacup in his hand, and slowly recalled:

"It's not that I can't say it...... In the morning, I was cleaning up the remaining traces of Ah Hua - you know I'm the only one here, and it's a bit of a struggle to dispose of such a large corpse in a short period of time...... Then I saw the boy and his female companion go down the hill and leave, and said hello to me. Just as they were about to go far, Master Jag appeared......"

Wutong didn't interject, sitting opposite Ji Burong and listening carefully to the follow-up.

"I actually heard about it before, and I also know about the purpose of Master Jager, that girl walked away under the cover of that young man, and then ...... Master Jaeg made a move on him. ”

Wutong's spirit was shocked: "What about the process? ”

"At first, the boy embodied a piece of clothing, and after wearing that dress, his mind increased greatly. Even I could feel his furious thoughts in the guardroom. ”

"Embodied clothes?" Wutong's face was gloomy: "I've seen it, that dress seems to be able to absorb the enemy's attack, and return it after accumulating to a certain extent, and the CEO of Zi Po Nian died under this trick!" ”

"Hearing you say that, I probably understand, no wonder Master Jagg's first attack didn't cause him any harm." Ji Burong took a sip of tea and shook his head: "However, even so, he is far from being the opponent of Master Jiege. Later, Master Jagg said that he wanted to break the upper limit of that dress, and when he threw a punch with all his might, his clothes could not hold up the damage. ”

Wutong was not surprised by this result, in his opinion, even if Lucy was strong, strong enough to easily kill Zi Po Nian, but in front of the old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years, he was no different from a weak child.

What he cared about was how Lucy escaped from Master Jager, and let Master Jager make that order.

"And then?"

"And then......" Tubrong paused for a moment, "I don't know what to say. ”

Facing Wutong's inquiring gaze, he sighed: "I don't know what ability that young man used, if I could still feel the qi on his body at first, then even if I used Shang Ning, I couldn't see anything, as if he used it." ”

"You should also know that using it in battle is undoubtedly killing yourself, but after his qi is gone, both speed and strength are even worse than before, and I don't know what happened next...... For five minutes, I couldn't catch them at all, I could only hear the sound of fighting in the air and the traces of the aftermath around me......" Ji Burong's face was full of bitterness, obviously greatly shocked: "I can also be regarded as a person who has passed the hunter exam and has a formal license, but after watching their fight, I suddenly felt that the previous achievements of passing the hunter exam were not worth mentioning at all!" ”

"I have no doubt that if I faced either of them at that time, I would have been killed in a second!"

Ji Burong put the teacup back on the table and said with a wry smile: "You were right before, no matter how hard ordinary people try, they can't catch up with some monsters." ”

Wutong's hand holding the teacup tightened unconsciously, and asked in a deep voice, "You say...... He and Master Jager fought for five minutes? The end result? ”

"By the time I saw Master Jeger, the boy was gone." Ji Burong thought about it, and finally said, "Master Jege...... A few more wounds on the body! ”

With a "bang", Wutong unconsciously crushed the teacup in his hand and looked at him in disbelief.
