Chapter 22: Distress

Liv's screams draw Jose and the others away, only to be a false alarm.

It's not that nothing has happened, and there is a lot of movement in ideas. The corpse of a huge demonic beast floated down the current, and the blood infected a large area of water......

As a sacrifice, in addition to the war song, Jose is most familiar with Warcraft. The big guy in front of him, who looks like a super invincible big bat at first glance, but has a head and tail with obvious wurm characteristics, is obviously the top difficult bipedal wyvern among the top magical beasts!

This kind of Wulong Demonic Beast, which has a close blood relationship with the Dragon Clan, is an earth-based beast that is resistant to fighting and has strong recovery ability! Although the earth-based magic is average, this is indeed one of the few wurms with breath! Although the dragon breath spewed out is 108,000 miles worse than that of the giant dragon, it is still much more powerful than the instantaneous magic of ordinary high-level magical beasts!

The most troublesome thing is that this kind of demonic beast lives in groups, and there are generally quite a few of them! Usually twenty or thirty dragons in a group. Twenty or thirty top-level demonic beasts are gathered, and ordinary people don't dare to provoke them easily.

The Moyue Empire has a little-known secret team, which is part of the special forces of the Whip of the God of War of the First Legion of the Empire. The whole team is less than 100 people, all of them are elite Puma warriors, all of them flying dragon mounts! Jose once went to watch the secret drill of the whip of the god of war with his father, and he was very popular!

However, the dead bipedal wyvern in front of him obviously can't pull the wind!

Ji Shenghong jumped into the water and dragged the body of the two-legged wyvern up. After checking it, there was no accident, the most valuable magic crystal had been taken away! But even so, as a top-level magic beast, the bipedal wyvern still had a lot of valuable things on it! At least its skin could be made into good leather armor.

However, while examining the body, José discovers a strange place.

"This is a fatal wound! The hole in the head should have been used to pick out the magic crystal after death!" Jose said, pointing to a piercing wound in the dragon's neck.

"So what?" said Isidore disapprehensively. casually pretending not to care, in fact, Isidore was still secretly jealous of José's good luck, and he was able to catch a bipedal wyvern to deliver it to the door after resting for a while. Although there is no magic crystal, it can still be worth a lot of money!

"This wound looks familiar!" Jose didn't care too much about Isidore, he and Isidore didn't get along for a day or two, and they had long been surprised.

"When you say that, I also feel a little familiar......" Hearing Jose say this, Murong Ziyan from Ji Shenghong's side stepped forward to look at it, thought for a moment, and lowered her head to examine it carefully: "This kind of penetrating wound with obvious crystallization...... It must have been caused by the manticore, right?"

"Yes! Manticore! I say it looks familiar!" Jose clapped his hands, and suddenly realized. Previously, there was a priest in the team who owned a top-level demon pet manticore, and he had previously used him to kill a high-level violent bear in the Southern Cross Forest. The manticore, also known as the dragon scorpion, has a tail like a scorpion. The tail needle is poisonous, a very strange toxin that can crystallize the wound, accelerate the bleeding and hinder the wound's recovery. However, the priest left halfway through the process, and did not come with them to the Sunset Swamp.

"In this way, the other wounds on his body do seem to be caused by the manticore!" Ji Shenghong observed for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Can the manticore win the two-legged wyvern? shouldn't it...... Even the twin-tailed manticore, it's hard work! And the wyvern can fly, and the manticore can fly, but the speed is far worse than the take-off dragon!"

"Maybe it's a sneak attack!" Jose was just familiar with the wound, and realized that he had indeed seen it, so he didn't care. Warcraft Fight is the same as Mage Fight. Theoretically, a high-level magician must be a middle-level magician. However, there are not a few high-level magicians who have been killed by middle-level magicians. Although it is rare for a top-level Warcraft to kill a super-level Warcraft, it is not impossible, not to mention that the Manticore-tailed Lion and the Wyvern are both top-level Warcraft, and the difference in strength will not be too big. If it's a sneak attack and some other factors, it's not so strange to kill.

Ji Shenghong seems to make sense when he thinks about it. He didn't speak.

At this time, the man who went to look for food returned. The biggest harvest is the side of Ji Shenghong, who has the least number of people. Ji Shenghong has a group of five people, three men and two women. In addition to Ji Shenghong, there were Du Xiaochuan, Jiang Jieqian, Murong Ziyan, and a handsome young warrior named Xia Nu.

Jose and Xia Nu also know each other, Xia Nu also participated in the 2014 Elite Exchange Competition, and is the representative of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions. However, like Jose, he was unlucky, and met Cobirio, one of the quarterfinals, in the first round and was eliminated.

Summer Fu is very popular, and takes good care of the magicians in the team during his adventures. Not only did Jose and others have a good impression of him, but even Isisdor, who didn't treat Ji Shenghong and others very well because of the close relationship between Ji Shenghong and Jose, also had a good impression of Xia Nu.

Ji Shenghong secretly told Jose that although Xia Nu was low-key, his identity was very remarkable! He was the youngest son of Xia Jiayue, the head of the four forbidden armies of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, and the head of the Tyrannosaurus Legion! Since he was a child, he was very favored by his father and elder brother. But instead of developing a gentlemanly temperament, Ling Xiaocheng recognized him as the most sensible one of the younger generation!

There are five people on Ji Shenghong's side, and of course it is impossible for the two girls to find food. Du Xiaochuan was injured a little before, and Ji Shenghong was responsible for staying behind to protect his companions, and it was Xia Nu who was responsible for going out to find food. Originally, the group carried dry food in the space ring. But if there was meat to eat, who would eat dry food?

What Xia Nu brought back was a fat crocodile. This three-meter-long crocodile is a very common mid-level magical beast in the swamp, and it has a rather ferocious temperament, but when it encounters the more ferocious Summer Fury, it turns into food.

Before coming back, Xia Nu pulled out the crocodile skin, and even bled it and removed the internal organs. This is done for fear that the girl will not be comfortable seeing the blood. Although it was said that they were all out to travel and adventure, there would definitely be nothing, but Xia Nu's approach still won the favor of the girls! Even Liv and Milani cast admiring glances at him.

Familiarly, the crocodile was set up, lit the fire, and began to roast.

Don't look at the crocodile ugly, but the meat is very delicious, the meat is tender and there is no lack of competition, and the taste is first-class!

The big crocodile that is more than three meters long, of course, can't be eaten by a few people in the Jiangnan of the Western Regions. Xia Nu generously asked Jose and Isidor and his party to come over and share with them.

Although they don't look good at each other, the aroma of grilled crocodile is really tempting. In addition, I really haven't found any decent food here, such as magic swamp frogs and swamp beetles, which can be eaten, but can they be compared to the tender crocodile meat?

Jose and Isidore eventually accept Natsufu's kindness.

With a little observation, it is not difficult to see that Xia Nu maintains a very friendly but somewhat distant relationship with everyone. In fact, he has a general relationship with Ji Shenghong. The wealthy families in the southern part of the Yangtze River in the Western Regions generally have the role of official suppression, the most obvious of which is the poet. Although the Xia family is not so obvious, they are somewhat related to the royal family by blood, and it is naturally impossible for them to get too close to the Xin family.

The reason why Xia Nu came with this time is for Jiang Jieqian in the team!

If Jiang Jieqian in the elite exchange competition four years ago already had the potential to be a beauty, now at the age of eighteen, she can already be described as Tingting Yuli! In her hometown of Shancheng, the people who come to propose marriage are about to break the threshold! However, whether it is Jiang Jieqian or her father, they all deliberately shirk the people who come to the door to propose marriage. Father's thoughts are not heavi, there are hundreds of women in the family, and the girls in his own family are so marked, who can worry about them?

And Jiang Jieqian is much simpler, I can't look down on it! Jiang Jieqian has a little secret that only Murong Ziyan and a few of her closest girlfriends know, she has always secretly admired the eldest son of the Burning Heaven Ling family, the head of the four major magic families of the Aegean, Ling Yecheng!

The Jiang family is in the westernmost part of the Shancheng Kingdom, while the Ling family is in the easternmost part of the Kaoqi Kingdom. The two cities are separated by only a strait. If it's a sunny day, you can even see each other across the sea!

The relationship between the mountain city and Kaochi was far less tense than that between the mountain city and several neighboring countries on the western continent, so the two cities across the sea were occasionally crossed by ships. Jiang Jieqian often goes to the 'Seidferggis' city on the Kaoqi side to play. I have known the eldest son of the Ling family since I was a child, and secretly admired the handsome and talented Ling eldest son.

However, Luohua is intentionally ruthless, and Ling Yecheng has always regarded Jiang Jieqian, who is four years younger than him, as his little sister.

It is said that although Ling Ye admits to treating Jiang Jieqian as his younger sister, can he really continue to think like this after this 'sister' has become slim and elegant? In fact, Jiang Jieqian was still very sure of this! After all, the love letters she received since she was a child were enough to make a fire and keep her warm in winter! Jiang Jieqian was very confident in her appearance! But what annoyed Jiang Jieqian was that there was a slut at the last elite exchange competition!

Every time she thinks of this name, Jiang Jieqian hates it!

The most eye-catching thing in the last Elite Exchange Tournament was undoubtedly Su Zixi, who crushed the champion all the way! I have to say that in recent years, there have been obvious signs of female element cultivators raising their heads, and the Aegean Elite Exchange Tournament has been won by women for two consecutive years, which makes the old men very faceless! Even many men who did not perform well in the competition last year gritted their teeth and prepared to be cheeky to participate in one session this year!

Last year, the most dazzling in the ring was Su Zixi, but under the ring, the most dazzling one was undoubtedly Sannestina Loren!

Roland is a wealthy family in the Kingdom of Leiding, and it is also a big family ranked in the top 30 as far as the entire Aegean is concerned! As the eldest daughter of this generation, Sanistina Roland is not only extremely good-looking, but also very strong! In the exchange competition, she also passed three rounds in a row and entered the top 32, until she met Moyue's seeded player Yeon. But although the results stopped at the top 32, Sanistina Loren's harvest was far more than that, she also gained a large number of admirers!

Several male representatives of the Kingdom of Leding are fascinated by her, and there are many players from other countries who are obsessed with her. Among them, there are even those who directly gave up their nationality after the competition and joined the Kingdom of Leiding just to enter the Roland family! One of them is Jiang Jieqian's classmate!

If that's all it takes, it's okay, but Ling Yecheng, the prince charming in Jiang Jieqian's mind, is also one of Shanistina's admirers. Although it has not reached the point of giving up its nationality, it has been frequently active in the Kingdom of Leiding in recent years, and the purpose is obvious!

Jiang Jieqian was unhappy, very unhappy. But there is nothing to be done.

As for Xia Nu and Jiang Jieqian, they also met at the exchange competition that year. However, Jiang Jieqian has never felt much about Xia Nu. The reason is speechless, first impression!

When Jiang Jieqian first met Xia Nu, it was when Xia Nu was defeated by Kobilio, eliminated in the first round, and was at a low point in her life. Compared with the high-spirited Ling Yecheng, who easily won in the first round, Xia Nu certainly couldn't get into Jiang Jieqian's eyes. But since Xia Nu met Jiang Jieqian, he has been pursuing it unremittingly in the past few years. It's not the kind of vigorous, but it's the kind of moisturizing things silently!

Although Xia Nu's performance did not impress Jiang Jieqian, it did impress her best friend. Almost except for Murong Ziyan, all of Jiang Jieqian's friends persuaded the two to hurry up together. Murong Ziyan didn't persuade her, she took action directly! No matter what happened, as long as she had something to do with Jiang Jieqian, she would definitely tell Xia Nu as soon as possible. This time, too, Jiang Jieqian originally traveled with Ji Shenghong and Du Xiaochuan. As a result, Murong Ziyan told Xia Nu, and Xia Nu followed without hesitation!

In fact, excluding the first impression, Jiang Jieqian is still quite satisfied with Xia Nu. Tall and handsome, his strength is no worse than Ling Yecheng, he is gentle and considerate, and there is a group of girlfriends to help him speak. According to the normal development, after Jiang Jieqian persists for a while, there is still a very high possibility that she will be taken down by Xia Nu in the end, but today, everything has changed more or less!

Jiang Jieqian, who was eating roasted oily and fragrant and tender crocodile meat, suddenly found that Xia Nu, who was sitting opposite her, and had been staring at her with admiration, changed her face. He rushed over the campfire and pushed her away.

Xia Nu is a high-level warrior, one step away from the Earth Fighter! Of course, the strength is not comparable to a magician like Jiang Jieqian. Jiang Jieqian was pushed out of the way all at once! Just about to get angry, she saw Xia Nu's shoulder pierced by a crystal clear spike that shot out, and blood gushed out!

Almost at the same time, a behemoth leaped out of the nearby waters.

It is a large magical beast that at first glance looks like a lion magnified tenfold, with a pair of huge dragon wings behind it. Behind it, three thick shoe tails swayed wildly.

"Manticore...... The lord ...... "Looking at the three tails that dangled brightly, Jose was surprised to say the full name of this well-known super-level magical beast of the Aegean.
