Chapter 11: Nightfall
The green leaves on the verdant ancient trees are blooming, the dragon-like roots are deeply rooted in the earth, and the forest wind blows the leaves, like the sound of sand and whispering, indicating that the sandstorm is coming. It's so quiet, it's so quiet.
It's so quiet that it doesn't feel like a forest.
There are no other living creatures here, only endless ancient trees and a group of young dragons.
Yan Xing had been running for a while, and the silence between the young dragons and the wheezing sounds one after another added to the tense atmosphere.
Constantly shuttling between the trees, there are still only trees in the perspective, and even makes Yan Xing wonder if he is spinning in place, the forest can indeed make walkers get lost.
You can see the red sky through the gaps in the leaves, and it is believed that the sunset is just right at this time, lighting up the eastern sky like the rising sun.
The leaves of the ancient trees are dense, and the sky is not completely dark, but the forest has become dark, and the temperature is rapidly dropping, and the cold is pressing, almost like winter.
Yan Xing's face was ugly, and the other few young dragons were not much better.
Night is approaching, but the dragon's lair has never been found, and the forest has become a little strange, and no one knows what the night will bring.
"It's dark. I don't know who said it.
The light of day was no longer visible between the leaves, and Jin Xun looked very worried, while his sister, who was originally very lively, was also very silent.
Yan Xing sighed and said to his companions, "Let's be careful next, try to find the dragon's lair, and if we can't find it, we must ensure our safety before dawn." ”
Finally, the evening breeze stopped blowing, the leaves did not rustle, and the forest fell completely silent.
A group of young dragons slowly walked through the dark forest, but fortunately, the dragons all have night vision and can see things in the dark.
After another period of dew, Yan Xing's face changed slightly after silently counting the dragons.
He lowered his voice and asked, "What about Jinling?"
After nearly twenty years of being a human being, Yan Xing's sensitivity to things is far above these young dragons, and he knows very well how important it is to keep the team intact, and he will count the dragons every time he walks, so he can find that Jinling has disappeared.
The young dragons would not be as calm as him, and after hearing him say that Jinling was gone, the team immediately became agitated, and all of them had a panicked look on their faces.
Jin Xun was very flustered, Jin Ling was his sister, but now that he was gone, he was naturally the most anxious in his heart.
Yan Xing also understands that at this time, it is necessary to stabilize everyone's hearts, and the team must not be chaotic.
He said to the young dragons, "According to my estimate, Jinling should have disappeared not long ago, so let's go back the way we came now and see if we can find her." ”
Naturally, there was no opposition to this proposal, and the young dragons once again settled down under Yan Xing's command.
After they had turned back for some distance, the grass not far away suddenly sounded, causing all the dragons' nerves to tense at once.
Without giving any time to think, just in the blink of an eye, a black shadow sprang out of the grass and pounced on Jin Xun at great speed.
"Be careful!" he tried to go up to the rescue of Jin Xun, but it was too late.
No exclamations, no screams, everything quiet weird, quiet terrible.
Yan Xing's expression was solemn, and he slowly approached the direction of Jin Xun, ready to deal with various situations.
He was relieved to peel aside a clump of weeds and see the true face of the black shadow.
Jin Ling hugged her brother with a frightened face, the corners of her eyes were shining, she looked like she was about to cry but not crying, and she was aggrieved and cute.
Let the lively Jinling look like this, you can imagine what a terrible thing it is to fall behind in this forest.
Lin Bu looked at Jinling helplessly and said, "Sister Jinling, can we not be so naughty, we are all worried about death." ”
There were no expected complaints, and Jin Ling only said one word.
"Let's go!"
Well?
A group of young dragons didn't understand what Jinling meant.
"Let's go!" Jin Ling's voice trembled obviously, as if he felt great fear, but he was very determined.
Yan Xing frowned, although Jin Ling's reaction was very strange, it also made him realize something.
"Listen to Jinling, let's go quickly. He said in a deep voice, and then took the lead and ran.
The other young dragons didn't know why, but they still kept up with Yan Xing.
Unconsciously, Yan Xing has a certain prestige among the young dragons, and he can faintly lead everyone.
As they ran south, Jinling told what had just happened.
"Necromancy, necromancy. ”
"I was walking well, but suddenly I noticed a light in the distance, so I ran over to see what it was. It turned out that the light was actually the flame in the eyes of a human skeleton, a necromancy. ”
"I was so frightened that my claws went limp, but fortunately he didn't find out, and when I came back, you were already far away, and I didn't know where to go, so I had to hide in the grass. ”
Jin Ling's face was a little pale when she spoke, enough to see how scared she was, if Yan Xing hadn't found out that she had disappeared, I don't know how she would have spent it alone in the forest.
"What is a necromancy?" Yan Xing asked very studiously, he really didn't know.
Princess Xiao Ke'er rolled her eyes at Yan Xing, speechless: "I don't even know this, what is in your inheritance memory Yan Xing?"
Yan Xing laughed embarrassedly twice, and just wanted to ask Xiao Ke'er for advice.
But at this moment, he suddenly stopped, and his four paws fell lightly to the ground, as if he was afraid of alarming something.
Yan Xing's abrupt pause caused the young dragons who were following behind to collide.
"Hey, Yan Xing, what are you doing. ”
"We almost collided. ”
There was a rumbling behind him, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and immediately made a silent gesture to the young dragons.
There was light in the trees ahead, and blue flames danced.
The dragons' faces changed, and their every move became slight.
Yan Xing whispered, "Let's go around." ”
The young dragons did not have any objections, and after following Yan Xing around the necromancy, they began to move on.
But after they bypassed a dozen necromancy, things didn't go right.
There are more and more necromancers around, and there are more than a dozen blue lights that can be seen, who knows if there will be more necromancers if they go any further.
"Otherwise, if we go back, the front is too dangerous to bypass the sight of all the necromancers. Jin Ling proposed.
Yan Xing thought for a while and said, "If this is really an entrance exam, then these necromancyrs shouldn't hurt us. ”
When a few young dragons heard him say this, they instantly knew what he was thinking, and they didn't agree with him.
Zhao Mi shook his head and said, "Don't take risks, so many necromancers are not something we can deal with, and it may attract more necromancers." ”
Yan Xing's eyes were very bright, looking at the ghostly light in the forest, and said softly, "I want to try ......"
Lin Bu also persuaded: "It's better not to take risks, we should turn back first and then make plans." ”
Yan Xing hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Actually, what I'm trying to say is that the dragon's lair may be just ahead. When he got to a place where there were almost no undead, Yan Xing said why he wanted to take the risk.
"Why?" Jin Xun didn't know how Yan Xing guessed.
Yan Xing asked rhetorically: "Think about it, if the teacher wants to give the students a test, what kind of trap will they set up?"
Jin Ling replied: "Of course, it is the most critical place. ”
He smiled and asked again, "If Teacher Mei Sha asked us to find the Dragon's Lair by ourselves is the entrance exam to enter the Dragon Gorge, where will she set a problem for us?"
The young dragons were silent, and the black dragon Zhou Nanhai, who had few words, suddenly spoke: "Then Yan Xing, what do you mean is that the necromancers in front are actually the problems that Teacher Meisha gave us, and behind these necromancy, is the dragon's lair?"
Yan Xing nodded and analyzed: "That's right, and there is a reason why I want to break through." ”
"First of all, according to Lin Bu, the new class of students will have an entrance exam to enter Longxia, and we will naturally be no exception. If it weren't for the entrance exam, then Ms. Maisha wouldn't put us in danger and would just send us to the Dragon's Lair. Besides, after walking so far and not seeing any trace of the dragon's lair, I don't believe that I will need to hike such a long distance every time I go to class in the future. ”
"Secondly, according to the time when the sun sets, it can already be determined that Longxia is the half-plane that Ke'er said, then the half-plane will be controlled by the elders. Teacher Meisha said that we are the pillars of the future dragon clan, I don't believe that the elders of my clan will not protect the safety of our pillars, at least they will not let us die, not to mention that Ke'er's status is extraordinary, and that elder should be more concerned about our safety. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the elder can control these necromancy, and even he's watching us right now. ”
Yan Xing's analysis made all the young dragons stunned, he actually used the patchwork of various information to speculate on the rules of the exam, and even the elders who Xiao Ke'er had only mentioned once also calculated them.
And the reasoning is so well-founded that no dragon can refute it.
Even so, the young dragons were still hesitant, after all, Yan Xing was only reasoning, and he didn't really know the situation ahead.
If what he said was wrong, then rushing in was looking for death.
The dragons' worries were not superfluous, Yan Xing said, "Or let's find a safer place and wait until dawn first." ”
The team fell silent, not knowing what to do.
Yan Xing sighed, got up and said, "Let's go back." ”
At this time, Xiao Ke'er suddenly said, "I think Yan Xing's method just now can be tried." ”
"I'm in favor of it too. Purple Sky Dragon Zhao Mi actually agreed, and seemed willing to take the risk.
Yan Xing was slightly surprised, but then shook his head and said, "That method is just an inference, and I don't know how feasible it is." ”
Zhao Mi chuckled: "Hehe, stupid Yanxing, do you think that Ke'er and I don't have some back-ups." ”
Yes, how can the identity of the young dragon who can come to Longxia be simple, what is Zhao Mi's identity Yan Xing doesn't know, but Xiao Ke'er is the princess of the Poseidon Dragon Clan, how can there be no means to save her life.
Xiao Ke'er nodded and said, "It's really dangerous at that time, I can also bring everyone out safely." ”
"It's just a bit of a waste......" She was a little depressed, her expression was puffed up, and no one was willing to use life-saving means.
Hearing what Zhao Mi and Xiao Ke'er said, several young dragons also agreed to Yan Xing's tactics.
As the young dragons advanced again, there were more and more dead spirits around, and with so many dead spirits, there was no way to lurk in the past.
Yan Xing said: "I'll count three two one, and everyone will go over together." ”
"One..."
When the night is in the sky, the silence is all the same, and the ancient trees are majestic.
"Two..."
The ghost light beats, the dead are merciless, and the danger lurks.
"Three!"
Yan Xing was like a white arrow, and he burst out with tremendous power on all fours, and rushed out first.
The immature body seemed to turn into thunder and lightning, flexibly avoiding in the grass, and in just a short time of tea, it avoided dozens of trees and hundreds of undead.
Lin Kaibu and Zhou Nanhai were born under the claws, and the young dragons were not weak at all, their speed was on par with Yan Xing, and they followed him closely.
They undoubtedly alarmed the undead as they kept scurrying through the grass.
"Ka Ka ......" The blue fire in his skull jumped, and a white human skeleton was deep in his arm and grabbed towards Yan Xing.
Click!
Yan Xingyi didn't pay attention, and directly knocked its bone arm away, but he was not affected.
It turns out that the necromancers are so weak, Yan Xing complained in his heart, and when he saw Jinling's reaction, he thought that the necromancers were all very powerful.
Click, click...
The skeletons all gathered around Yan Xing and wanted to stop them.
But where can they stop the young dragons?
Those who can get around will go around, and those who can't get around will be directly knocked away, and they won't pose much of a threat.
"Whew!" suddenly there was a cry of pain in the team, and there was actually an extra wound on Jinling's forearm, the dragon scales were shattered, and the red dragon blood flowed down, overflowing with fragrance.
What is it? How did Jinling get hurt?
Yan Xing looked back, and his face changed drastically.
Behind him, there was a dark light, mixed with some green light.
When are there so many undead? Why are there still green fires?!
Jin Xun helped his sister up, and when he saw something on the ground, his face was horrified.
"Run, they'll shoot arrows!" Jin Xun yelled, pulling Jin Ling and running.
The undead can shoot arrows! And they really hurt Jinling! This is something Yan Xing never expected.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
A few arrows stuck in Yan Xing's side, which was very terrifying.
The young dragons crawled out for a long distance, but the necromancers behind them were in hot pursuit, and there were more necromancers in the road ahead.
From time to time, arrows grazed the dragon's side and stuck in the ground, and the terrible white bones terrified them.
Click......
The shadowy white bones shook in the distance like snow fluttering in winter, and the cold of the forest at night was even more chilling, and the blue-green fire lit up the surroundings, and it was hard to imagine where so many dead spirits came from.
The young dragons rushed forward with all their might, too many of the dead to chase after them.
"Can we get there?" asked Lin Bu gasped.
"Have faith. Yan Xing saw the flash of red light in the green light, and his heart tightened a little.
How powerful would the red-flame necromancy be? He didn't dare to think about it now, so he could only run forward.
Woohoo!
The rain of arrows fell, densely stuck in the trees, and each young dragon had wounds on its body.
"Look ahead!" Jin Xun exclaimed.
The trees ahead are gone, replaced by bare rocks!
"There's the dragon's lair ahead!" the dragons were overjoyed, and with all the strength they had left, they just wanted to escape from the forest.
At the edge of the woods was an invisible curtain of light, and several small figures suddenly rushed out, causing ripples in circles.
The endless necromancy was left behind, and the dead forest was left behind.
"Finally escaped...... Yan Xing lay on the ground tiredly, all the young dragons were tired and half dead, their limbs were weak, and it was a problem to stand up.
He looked around and was momentarily stunned by what he saw.
There are bright stars constantly twinkling in the night sky of the half-plane, the Milky Way is upside down, the stars are falling, the colorful sky is like the work of a painter, and countless magnificent stars rise and fall, and the beauty is a little excessive.
A majestic mountain stands quietly, it is so huge, as if countless stars have built up, from the foot of the mountain, the mountain is like a tree trunk, and the whole star is its branches and leaves!
A stone and a piece of soil exude the atmosphere of vicissitudes, and this mountain was here thousands of years ago.
Yan Xing turned around, the light curtain was transparent, and he could see that the dense ghostly fire in the forest was no longer approaching, and gradually left.
"Huh......" Lin Bu actually fell asleep, and the other young dragons had already fallen asleep.
"It doesn't seem to be in danger anymore. Yan Xing was completely relieved, let the fatigue come in, and slept dead at the foot of the mountain.
(To be continued)......
