[The coma state is about to be lifted, countdown, three-two-one]

A familiar system prompt sounded faintly in his ears, and when the 'one' fell, Zhen Shifeng woke up from his slumber. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Uh, what's going on...... Head...... My head hurts! He touched his forehead gently, but a walnut-sized hard bag was swollen on his forehead, "If I'm not mistaken, I should have jumped off the cliff before, didn't I fall out of the script yet, and my brother's life was a little harder, right?" ”

"It's clear that we didn't fall to our deaths, but that someone saved us." Thor, who had long since woken up, snuggled up to the entrance of the cave, pointed to the drag marks on the ground, and continued: "We must have been dragged into this cave by some 'guy', and some daily necessities such as straw mats and stone tables around it can show that this so-called 'guy' is not a beast, but a human or other race with considerable intelligence, and has lived here for a long time. Of course, the other party did not choose to kill us, nor did they restrict our movements, at least it shows that the hostility towards humans is not very strong, maybe ............"

"Hey, Thor, I've never heard of jumping off a cliff and doubling your IQ?"

"Uh, what do you mean?" Thor suddenly wondered, and then his face couldn't help but be covered with black lines, "Please, Brother Feng, this kind of obvious thing is not any reasoning, what does it have to do with IQ?" What's more, you jumped off the cliff with me when I was unconscious, right? ”

Zhen Shifeng didn't answer, but covered his mouth and didn't know what he was laughing at, and it took a while for Thor to react, and muttered helplessly: "According to what you just meant, how low did my previous IQ have to be to deduce these obvious things on the premise of doubling it?" ”

"Ahem, I didn't say anything, you must have thought too much." Zhen Shifeng shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, his expression changed, and he said seriously: "But then again, where is the guy who saved us now?" ”

"Right in front of you!" Suddenly, a vague black shadow walked in from outside the cave, and seeing that the two of them had woken up, he casually threw out two fireballs and ignited the pyre on the ground, and under the light of the fire, the appearance of the mysterious person was gradually revealed: long gray hair scattered around the neck, purple skin was dry and wrinkled, heterochromatic eyes were sunken and bulging, and his body was slightly rickety but very tall. There is no doubt that this man is a necromancy.

"Drink it, and your body will be fully restored." The old man threw a bag of unknown liquid directly to Zhen Shifeng, who unscrewed the bag and sniffed it, this smell was no different from the smell of the 'marshmallow' miasma.

Seeing that the other party was still vigilant, the old man laughed awkwardly twice and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to hurt you a long time ago, why wait until now?" As he spoke, he looked out of the cave again, "This cave is located at the bottom of the cliff, and the location is quite hidden, so you don't have to worry about those original soldiers chasing here." ”

However, Zhen Shifeng didn't appreciate it at all, but asked in an extremely cold tone: "Two questions, first, why are you in such a place as a necromantic clan?" Second, why save us humans, and what's in it for you? ”

Thor's spear was also sacrificed at the same time, and the sharp edge was pointed directly at the old man's neck. In the face of the two people's forced questioning, the old man did not feel resentful because of the other party's kindness, on the contrary, his smile became more and more kind, "In that case, let me answer the first question first." ”

"To tell you the truth, I was originally an ordinary soldier in the first batch of pursuit troops sent here, and our mission was very simple, to hunt down the defected Native General Orphin and recapture the Seal Spirit Crystal. But what he never expected was that the enemy actually activated the miasma barrier of the Origin Forest, and the miasma that permeated the forest became a deadly killer for the Necromantic people. A large number of soldiers were devoured by it, and only I escaped with my special physique, but unfortunately my body became more and more aging due to the erosion of the miasma, so that I could not break through the miasma again and return to the outside world, and I have been stranded ever since. ”

What the old man said was quite reasonable, and Brother Feng couldn't judge whether it was true or false for a while, "According to what you mean, could it be that you saved us because you wanted to take this opportunity to recapture the sealing spirit crystal and complete the task instead of you?" ”

The old man couldn't help but smile indifferently, and said directly: "Hehe, it's right to have such an idea, of course, it is also to be able to regain my life and return to the outside world, so the power of sealing spirit crystals is essential!" ”

"Uh, the sealing spirit crystal still has this effect?" Zhen Shifeng was puzzled.

"That's nature, the sealing spirit crystal was originally made of a special spar that gathers the original qi of heaven and earth, as long as you drink a sip of the original qi, any dead thing can obtain the power of rebirth, and my physique needs it to recover!"

Speaking of this, the doubts of the two were gradually dispelled a lot, and the old man pointed to the bag of unknown liquid again, and said lightly: "This is a potion extracted from the water of the River Styx, which has the effect of nourishing the essence and strengthening the element, and it will definitely make you fully recover, if you are willing to believe what I just said, then please drink it!" ”

What is certain is that the old man did not lie, but the explanatory text presented in front of Zhen Shifeng and the others made them a little daunted:

[Item Name: Unknown (Active; Cost*3)】

[Level: Unknown]

[Function: Unknown]

[Is it possible to bring out the script: No]

[Notes: This is a bag of mysterious liquid, and the strength of the aura it exudes is really rare]

It's the first time they've come across items with unknown attributes and functions, and no matter what special effects they have, it's extremely uncomfortable to just be so normal that they can't make a normal note.

"Uh, I said Brother Feng, can this thing really be drunk?" Thor muttered in a low voice, but saw that Zhen Shifeng drank half of the liquid in the bag on the spot without saying a word, "Yes, yes, the taste is the same as my favorite strawberry milk tea!" ”

"............" is not only Thor, but even the old man can't believe that this product is so simply drunk.

Despite some apprehension, Thor drank the other half, the sweetness of the liquid made him a little nauseous, but the recovery effect was quite good, and soon the health and stamina of the two had fully recovered. Of course, Thor's poisoned state has not changed.

"We have already drunk the medicine, and we have promised to help you get the sealing spirit crystal back, but there are patrolling original soldiers everywhere outside, and it may not be easy to easily approach the location of the sealing spirit crystal, right?"

The old man did not answer, but he pushed away a boulder that was blocked in the depths of the cave, and behind the boulder was a deep passage, and he did not know where it led.

"Passing through the tunnel below will take you directly to the perimeter of the temple where the Sealed Spirit Crystal is located, which will save you time and avoid patrolling soldiers. That's all you can do, and ............ It's all up to you! ”

Zhen Shifeng and Thor looked at each other, nodded slightly to each other, needless to say, after only thanking the old man, they went into the tunnel, and their figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The old man was once again the only one left in the cave, and suddenly the air around him fluctuated with visible fluctuations, followed by several bright flashes, and the old man's body gradually turned into pieces under this strange scene, but a satisfied smile still appeared on his face.

"The night of the overlapping moons, heh, the sky has changed!"
