Chapter 049: Earthfire Molten City (17)
At the bottom of the dark abyss, on the shore of a deep underground lake, several people were gathered around a campfire.
"Ahem! Wizard, what kind of fuel are you? Even a water-soaked branch can be burned...... Ahem! It's just that this smoke is a bit big......"
A man in a Taoist robe covered his mouth and nose, choking on the smoke and coughing.
"Stupid! Sitting downwind, that's your own choking! ”
The other man said lazily, "I think you're a pretty shrewd person......"
These two people are Wei Zede and Li Daoyi, who fell into the abyss, and the two people who were in a coma are the targets that need to be protected in this mission scene - Liu Kai'an, Liu Ru's father and daughter.
At this time, Li Daoyi was muttering and got up from the other side of the bonfire, came to Wei Zede's side, and sat down in a daze.
"What the hell is the wind! Waiting for me to get out......"
Speaking of this, Li Daoyi, who was grumbling, suddenly asked, "Wizard, do you think we can still complete the task?" ”
Tightening the clothes that had just been dried again, Wei Zede shook his head slowly.
"It's hard to say!"
Wei Zede said in a heavy tone: "This mission can be said to be terrifying from the beginning!" ”
"Now, the second part of our main mission has not been completed, and the rescue team is scattered...... To be honest, the two of us are lucky to meet Liu Ru here! ”
Just as the two were greeting, the wind of "woo" sounded again.
"Humph! The wind has changed again...... One moment it blows out, the other it blows inside! It's pretty regular......"
Li Daoyi listened to the wind and continued to complain.
"Wait! What did you just say? ”
After hearing Li Daoyi's words, the aura in Wei Zede's heart suddenly flashed!
"Say it again!" Wei Zede urged eagerly.
"Huh? What did I say? I want to think about it...... I'm like, 'Huh! The wind has changed again'! ”
Li Daoyi, who put down a serious appearance, squeezed his brows and recalled.
"And what about the rest of the year? Think about it! After a while, I couldn't catch up with ......."
Wei Zede on the side stood up, looking anxious.
"Don't rush me! You have to think about it a little bit...... Well, and then I said, 'Blow it out and scrape it inside!' It's pretty regular'...... That's all! ”
Li Daoyi patted his forehead and repeated what he had said.
"Regularity! Well, right! It's the law! ”
Weized's brain was racing fast, "the law of the wind...... The interval of time is the same...... The wind is in the opposite direction...... No way! Could this wind be ......?"
Wei Zede, who came to the inference, only felt a feeling of suffocation surging in his heart!
"Wizards? Wizard! ”
Li Daoyi looked at Wei Zede, who was pale, and asked urgently, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"This wind...... This wind is not the wind! It's not the wind......"
As he spoke, Wei Zede took out the ancient book again and flipped through it.
"What the hell is going on? Why do you only speak half of your words? ”
Through the ancient books, Wei Zede confirmed his inference, he sighed with affection, and recited Zhuangzi's "Leisurely Travel": "There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky......"
Listening to "Getaway", Li Daoyi squinted his eyes and thought about it.
After a long time, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Seven Star Disk Dragon Lock Demon Array...... "Getaway"...... Kun ...... Kunpeng? ”
Seeing Wei Zede nodding affirmatively, Li Daoyi raised his voice in disbelief and asked almost word for word: "What do you mean...... Under this abyss, there is a legendary Kunpeng being suppressed? ”
“…… And the regular wind that appears in this underground space is nothing more than the breath of this Kunpeng?? ”
"I ...... I'm probably dreaming, right? ”
Li Dao muttered a few words, and then stopped talking.
At this time, Liu Ru, who was lying on the ground, let out a weak **, perhaps because of the father-daughter connection, Professor Liu Kaian also coughed a few times.
"Huh? Are you all awake? ”
"Xiao Ning? Father! Why are you two here? ”
Rubbing her eyes, Liu Ru asked with a look of surprise, "I can't be dreaming, right?" ”
"Of course not!"
……
In the cold underground abyss, there was a cry of joy.
Liu Kai'an and Liu Ru, father and daughter, who were immortal, cried and laughed, and it took a while to calm down their excitement.
In order to change the topic, Wei Zede opened his mouth and asked, "Liu Ru, what about the other members of your team?" Are they separated from you? ”
Unexpectedly, after Liu Ru heard the question, her eyes immediately turned red.
"They're all dead! To protect me, the captain, everyone died! Small plant, small Gao, big strong...... They're all dead! Woohoo......"
With Liu Ru's voice, the system system that had not been seen for a long time popped out in Wei Zede's vision.
[Main quest: 2. Enter the secret cave and search for the missing archaeological team members, which has been completed. 】
[Task log updating......]
[Main Quest: 3. Arrive at the Lost City; During the mission, the player must ensure the personal safety of Professor Liu Kaian and Captain Liu Ru, otherwise the mission will fail. 】
"Girl Liu, don't cry!"
Professor Liu Kai'an comforted and said: "We have to hurry up and find other comrades who survived......
"Hmm!"
Touching a handful of tears, Liu Ru, who looked sad, said firmly: "In order to fulfill everyone's last wishes, I must complete this scientific expedition task!" ”
So, after Wei Zede and his party of four people packed up, they returned to the road.
Under the illumination of the "wolf's eye" flashlight, several people walked in the abyss underground, where strange rocks are lined up and strange scenes overlap, which makes people have to sigh at the magic of nature.
In order to maintain physical strength, and to take care of the elderly Professor Liu Kai'an, Wei Zede and others stopped and walked.
"Oops!"
With Li Daoyi's exclamation, his whole person suddenly disappeared.
Wei Zede and the others hurriedly came up, and under the illumination of the flashlight, they saw a swarthy "crypt" appear in the place where Li Daoyi disappeared.
"Taoist!"
"Comrade Li? How are you? ”
It didn't take much effort, and Li Daoyi's voice came out of the "crypt".
"I'm fine! But there's an artificial passage down here, should we go in and have a look? ”
Wei Zede looked at Liu Kai'an, then at Liu Ru, and asked out loud: "Liu Ru, you are the captain of the archaeological team, you have to make up your mind!" ”
"It's not a way for us to go on without a purpose like this......
Liu Ru thought for a while and replied, "Since there is a discovery here, then let's go down and have a look!" ”
