Chapter 3: The Girl in the Crystal

At this moment, the sky was getting darker, and Wade hunted a wild boar in the dense forest, picked some wild fruits, and then walked towards the hunter's camp.

After returning to the camp, Dan just happened to put dinner on the table, and was a little surprised to see Wade coming back from outside, "Why did you come back?" Done digging everything? ”

"Well, it's all here." Wade took out a few pieces of ore from the bag he was carrying on his shoulder and handed them to Dan.

Dan frowned, "Strange...... How can you be faster than Ed with your efficiency, is something wrong? ”

"I guess it's too much, so I haven't finished digging yet." Wade shrugged, threw down the bag, walked over to the table and began to gobble it up.

Dan glared at him, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Or...... Are you going to check it out? ”

"Huh?" Wade's hands waving knives and forks suddenly paused, and he looked at Dan with a reluctant expression, "I just ......"

He stopped halfway through his sentence, for the first time he looked up he saw Dan looking at him with a murderous smile.

Wade sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay, can't I go?" ”

"You know each other." Dan smiled lightly, and then showed a solemn look, "No matter what, you must bring Ed back." ”

Deep in the primeval forest, Ed was exhausted, gritted his teeth and plunged into the dense forest, running in the dense forest, eager to rush out of the primeval forest immediately, he had to find a hidden place to hide.

"Hope didn't come with me...... "After running for more than an hour, and I don't know how far he had run, he stopped in a cave to rest.

Suddenly, he heard a low roar, a powerful sense of oppression that made his ears buzz.

"It's the direction you just ......" Ed held his breath and suppressed his breath to a minimum, his body was cold, without any vitality.

Soon, he saw through the vines at the entrance of the cave an ancient dragon covered in lilac scales flying through the sky.

"It's really coming...... Ed's pupils contracted, and his heart was cold, how terrible Gu Long was, he had heard people say that if he was discovered, he would definitely die without equipment now.

A moment later, the ancient dragon flew back again, circling the mountains and the area in the distance.

"It's locked onto this area, did it spot me?" Ed shuddered, feeling close to death.

At the same time, he was very surprised in his heart, could there be something in his body that could allow it to find himself. At this moment, he didn't dare to be too excited, he didn't dare to move, he lowered his breath to the minimum, and the whole person hid in the cave like a piece of wood.

It had been a full two hours before the lilac ancient dragon in the sky had disappeared into the dense forest. But Ed didn't dare to move, and it wasn't until it was completely dark that he deftly climbed out of the cave and rushed quickly towards another mountain range.

"This Xia Dragon...... Did you take the wrong medicine? Ed gritted his teeth, feeling his head grow for a while.

Xia Long, also known as Daimyo Shii. The ancient dragon species that likes to live alone and is cautious by nature. It has the stealth ability to "disappear" in an instant, and can release various toxins in a large area. An illusory ancient dragon known as the "Phantom of the Forest".

On this night, the roars of monsters in the primeval forest came and went, and it was extremely uncalm, the starry sky was dim, and the cold was overwhelming. Eddard didn't make a fire, just picked some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and then hid in the bushes.

Suddenly, the roar of the monsters in the area disappeared, and the entire dense forest fell silent. Ed's heart suddenly tightened, he held his breath, and didn't dare to move.

At some point, the dragon appeared in the sky, causing the monsters below to feel the danger. It wasn't until the second half of the night that the dragon disappeared from this area, and Ed felt cold sweat all over, and it was not a way to go on like this, I am afraid that sooner or later he would be found.

"If you don't have a weapon, you will definitely die in the face of the ancient dragon, how can you get rid of it......" Ed frowned and thought carefully, and found that there was no way but to flee first.

Originally, Ed planned to retreat to the camp first, but according to the current situation, if he returned to the camp, Xia Long would most likely still be able to find him, but even with Wade and Dan, he could not repel the ancient dragon, so he could only continue to run in other directions.

Ed ...... Eddard ......" There was a sudden shout outside the dense forest, and the breath of the ancient dragon had just disappeared, and there was still silence around him, and this voice was extremely loud.

"This idiot!" Ed felt a chill in his heart, and rushed in the direction where the voice came from, eager to beat up this stupid guy immediately.

Outside the dense forest, Wade was looking around with a torch, looking leisurely. Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in front of him, grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the ground.

"What are you doing here!?" Ed gritted his teeth in anger and shouted under his breath.

"Dan...... It was Dan who asked me to take a look. Wade didn't understand what was going on, and he had a look of bewilderment.

Ed frowned and wanted to say something, but immediately closed his mouth, because at this moment, he felt a terrible aura that made him all hairy, and when he looked back at the dense forest, his face suddenly turned white.

"I didn't leave...... Stealth lurks here. Ed's heart suddenly cooled by half, and Xia Long appeared in a very close distance, and he really couldn't run away if he wanted to.

"It's ...... What kind of monster is this? Wade looked at the dragon in front of him in a daze.

"What are you doing standing stupidly, hurry up, this is an ancient dragon!" Ed ran off into the distance without looking back.

Ed and Wade ran as fast as they could. But they couldn't shake off the dragon behind them, and they were still chasing them tightly.

"What have you done, this guy has been chasing us!" Wade shouted anxiously.

"Hell knows, what can I do with a pickaxe?" Ed continued to run wildly with some helplessness.

Half an hour later, they quickly rushed out of the dense forest, and when they saw a somewhat familiar peak, Eddard's expression froze.

"Roar ......" There was a low roar behind him that made people shake all over.

Ed gritted his teeth and ran straight forward without looking back. However, the low roar flickered and flickered, lingering all around them.

"Follow me, go this way!" Ed and the others came to the depths of the mountain, found the vines they had climbed before, and quickly climbed up.

On the steep slope, the previous area has not changed due to the departure of the ancient dragon, and it is still silent.

Ed grabbed Wade and ran straight to hide under the stone wall, covered in hot sweat, took off the cloak on his body and threw it to Wade, his own breath was suppressed to the minimum, and he nervously observed the surroundings.

Half an hour later, the dragon, who had been chasing them closely, did not appear. This made Ed a little incomprehensible, what was going on in this area, there were ancient dragons guarding nearby, but he didn't dare to approach.

"How did you find a place like this?" Wade stretched out his head and looked left and right, and saw that there was nothing abnormal around, so he whispered.

Ed also stretched out his head to check it carefully, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, he breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the stone wall and slowly adjusting his breathing, "Just walk around here, I saw that there was a mine on this stone wall, and I was targeted by the Xia Dragon as soon as I went down with a pickaxe, I knew that it didn't dare to come in, so I wouldn't run, and I would be tired to death." ”

When he heard Ed say that there was a mine on the stone wall, Wade glanced at the stone wall in surprise, and then was stunned, and said in a trembling voice, "You...... Are you sure this is a mine? ”

"Are you being chased by Xia Long? Can't see such a big crack in the stone wall? When Ed looked up at the stone wall, he was also stunned, the stone wall around the original crack had fallen off, revealing the contents inside.

There was a huge crystal in the stone wall, shimmering with light. The two looked at the crystal in a daze, and there was actually a little girl inside. Her long golden-red hair is soft and shiny, blocking half of her pretty face, but it is difficult to hide her amazing beauty, and her skin is exceptionally crystal clear and fair, as if carved from mutton fat jade, giving people a very dreamy feeling. Her beautiful eyes were closed, very quiet, motionless, like a sleeping beauty.
