His whole body ached as if his bones were broken, his ears were filled with the roar of a dragon, and the stench of burnt flesh was everywhere. Hell, or worse than hell?

No, he can't die yet.

Ji Lin opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a dazzling white in front of him.

The pain was real, the burnt smell was real, but there was no dragon's roar, just a man's constant hoarse cough, the chirping of birds not far away, and a fine rustle, what seemed to be rain?

He reached for his glasses, but found a cold stone surface. He then remembered that he had been ambushed, and he had been shot down.

Where was he, was he captured, or was he rescued?

He sat up suddenly, but there was a sharp pain in his chest. He snorted lowly, letting out a barrage of curses.

"Lie still, you've broken a few ribs. A voice choked and coughed.

"Who are you?" Ji Lin snapped in that direction, "Where is this?" He couldn't see anything clearly, he knew it was a side effect of the magic glare bomb, plus he had lost his glasses. Damn, he should have cured his myopia if he knew there would be this day. Even if he has doubts about doing myopia surgery, some mages' magic works, it's just ......

It's just that all magic has side effects, just as the energy of the world always has to be balanced. He had to pay another price for curing his eyes, and he didn't like that price.

He struggled to squint his eyes in pain, and he saw a faint dark figure approaching, as if bending down to observe him.

He stared warily at the blurry black shadow, and he could only see a rough outline. Tall, burly, and rough, he didn't know such a person at all, but the dark shadow in front of him gave him a strange sense of familiarity. A figure crossed his mind at this moment, and he quickly waved it away with irritation.

Ji Lin's fingers silently touched his waist. In his holster hung his short staff, his only weapon of self-defense, though it was of little use now. Ji Lin realized in despair that anyone who knew anything about the battle against mages would not give him a chance to draw a defensive magic circle. He had to get the timing right.

Ji Lin carefully discerned the aura on the black shadow's body. The aura of divine blood is weak, but at least it is not demon blood. Maybe just ordinary people with thin blood?

So it's not captured, but rescued? Ji Lin quickly made a judgment in his heart. His hand quietly removed from the staff again.

The black shadow's hoarse voice was hesitant: "Are you blind?"

"You're blind!"

Immediately, Ji Lin realized that his tone was a little too intense, he clutched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry, you reminded me of someone." I have some problems with my eyesight for the time being. Ji Lin's tone emphasized two words temporary, "The effect of the magic glare bullet will fade." ”

"Magic Flare Bomb, what is that?" the hoarse voice coughed vigorously twice, and stuffed something into Ji Lin's hand, "Let's get alive, everything here is damp, wet and hot, and it takes my boss's strength to make a fire." ”

Ji Lin touched something that was stuffed in his hand wrapped in banana leaves, and there was a mushy smell. He pinched it, judging that it was probably a roasted sweet potato.

Ji Lin didn't say a word, and devoured it.

"Is there any water?"

The man came and handed over a cup made of bamboo tubes, the air here was hot, but the water in the bamboo tubes was very cool, and he drank it dry, "Is there anything else? I mean meat and so on." Only by supplementing nutrition as soon as possible can he recover quickly, although Ji Lin himself is a vegetarian, but at the moment he still asks to eat meat.

The black shadow was silent for a while, and said, "Do you want to eat dragon meat?"

"Dragon, my dragon is dead?" Ji Lin's heart was cold, in this kind of rainforest area, there is no dragon, he is injured again, how can he go back?

"Not yet, but soon. The shadow coughed a few more times, and seemed to have an uncomfortable throat.

"Who are you?Where am I?How far is this from the border?Who are you?" Ji Lin became nervous again. Black Shadow speaks Chinese very well, with almost no accent, but Mandarin is now almost the official language of the subject countries, and speaking Chinese doesn't mean much.

"You ......" Gao Qianzi looked at Ji Lin carefully.

Eight years have passed, and the polite Ji Lin has not changed much. It's just that he lost his glasses and was injured again, which made his always polite face a little fierce. He had already realized that Ji Lin couldn't see clearly, so he didn't recognize him, and he himself was now with messy hair and a full beard, probably even if Ji Lin could see clearly, he wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Now it was not the same as he had expected to see his old friend. And Ji Lin, a genius array mage with cold words, arrogant personality, and many halos attached to his body, suddenly became a fragile blind man, and he suddenly felt like seeing a tiger without claws and an eagle with broken wings, how could he think that this was a rare opportunity to tease him.

Gao Qian touched his beard, thought about it, and decided that he could put aside the matter of telling Ji Lin his true identity for the time being.

His throat was already uncomfortable with the smoke of wet wood, and now he became even more hoarse: "I'm just a foreigner passing through here. And you just fell from the sky, and I saved you. As for where it is, I don't know. But I think it's hundreds of kilometers away from the border. ”

"How many hundred kilometers?" Ji Lin's head was dizzy, "I need my dragon, how is it?"

"This ......" high diver is a little difficult. He wasn't really familiar with dragons either. And the big guy was badly injured, with a big hole in his chest blown open. The Ancient Elves are with it now, healing it with herbs that are better than nothing. Even if those herbs worked, it would take ten days and half a month to recover.

"Don't you have a way to call for help?" For example, put a signal flare or something? Gao Qian understands that in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, there is probably no signal on the mobile phone. In fact, except for the Eastern Continent, there is no place where there is still a mobile phone signal. But the Divine Guard should always have their own emergency contact information, right?

"It's likely that the nearby contact points have been attacked, and to contact the inside of the Tree of Life protective shield, you need to use a dedicated magic channel, I'm not a wizard, I can't do that. ”

"That's harder. Gao Qian touched the three-centimeter-long hard stubble on his chin, and looked at Ji Lin's still thin body as he was eight years ago, "Hundreds of kilometers of inaccessible rainforest, there are countless monsters in it, with your physical strength, you won't be able to walk out for about a year." ”

"I need transportation. Ji Lin said anxiously, "Or contact someone." ”

"Who to contact?"

Ji Lin was silent and turned his head to look out of the cave. The light outside the cave was a hazy white, and he had to find a way to get back to headquarters as soon as possible. But how to get back? He's just a formation mage, and he's not even as good as an ordinary mage without the warhead teammates to accompany him. What should he do? He couldn't help but wonder what he would do if he was that arrogant guy who was in his position at the moment.

Gao Qian knew that Ji Lin had always been cautious, so naturally he would not say much to him whose identity was unknown at the moment. He nodded and stood up: "I'll go see your dragon, you can rest well." ”

Walking to the entrance of the cave, Gao Qian suddenly turned around: "You just said that I reminded you of a person, I'm curious, who is it?"

Ji Lin stared indifferently at the vague figure: "It's just an arrogant ......" Ji Lin's breath froze for a moment, and he covered his chest as if he was injured, and gasped, "An extremely stupid guy." ”
