11. Dreams

Looking at the gray cheeks and yellow hair of the two brothers, the killer who attacked Zhao Yuan said fiercely: "You don't think we will let you go because of this, do you? If our brother dies because of you, we will only imprison your soul after you die and put it into the devil's flame to roast for a hundred years until it is gone!" At the same time, he also quietly glanced at his partner.

The other killer reacted immediately and silently approached the two killers who were under control, but Zhao Yuan had been observing the movements of the two people, and he couldn't find out.

He sneered, and with a wave of his hand, an earth-based shield shrouded the two killers: "If you want to save them, there is no way! โ€

The killer who sneaked up on Zhao Yuan couldn't help but be extremely annoyed, he and his companion glanced at each other, and without saying a word, they took out the lethal magic scroll they had bought with their blood, and smashed it towards the earth-based shield without caring about any tyrannical objects. Zhao Yuan continued to send mana to that shield, and the earth-based shield was crumbling, but in the end it still survived.

The two killers did not give up and used their martial energy to attack the earth shield, seeing that Zhao Yuan's face was getting more and more ugly, and it seemed that the mana in his body had done his best, the two killers were overjoyed and accelerated their attacks. Finally, with a bang, the earth shield cracked. The two killers rushed to their side's side in an instant, and one of them picked up the other and was about to flee. After all, this kind of chain system spell will break if it is out of a certain range.

But the moment they picked up their partner, they didn't see Zhao Yuan take out a blue crystal nucleus out of thin air and swallow it. They felt the temperature of the air plummet, their bodies suddenly stiffened, and then they could only watch themselves firmly entangled in the familiar gray vines.

Looking at the four killers who were entangled in the energy-absorbing ghost vine, Zhao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Four endless streams of life force were channeled into his body, and his pain seemed to have eased a lot.

"Zhao Yuan, what's wrong with you!" Monroe exclaimed in the distance. The night vision ability of the wolf clan is very good, although he is not sensitive to magic fluctuations at all, but he still heard the laughter of a stranger in the courtyard just now, He hurried out and saw Zhao Yuan's abdomen covered with blood, and there were four shadows standing there motionless.

He reacted almost instantly, Zhao Yuan was the person who came up to assassinate him. He has been guarding against it these days, and he originally planned to ask Zhao Yuan for help, but who would have thought that he would be directly bumped into by Zhao Yuan, and the other party was not lightly injured.

"Monroe," Zhao Yuan frowned deeply, obviously enduring a lot of pain, but his voice was much colder than usual, "I was poisoned, and those killers have an antidote on them." He was succinct and to the point.

"Okay" Monroe immediately understood, and he ran to the four immobile killers and searched out their space storage.

"Zhao Yuan, there is a self-detonation spell in these storage spaces, and I can't take it. Monroe also made a mistake at this time, this kind of self-detonation spell can be broken by someone, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he obviously can't last long looking at Zhao Yuan's appearance.

The uncomfortable feeling of sweat flowing into his eyes made Zhao Yuan couldn't help blinking vigorously, and then after feeling a little better, he adjusted the strength of the ghost vine slightly.

The killer who had attacked Zhao Yuan woke up from his coma, and when he saw that the three companions around him were all eyes closed, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, thinking: It's over, it's all over.

He turned his head and stared at Zhao Yuan deadly, but he only heard Zhao Yuan say coldly: "Don't waste time." Now your sobriety is entirely in exchange for the life force of your partner. โ€

The killer was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the energy-absorbing ghost vine. Sure enough, I found that the ghost vine I tied to my body was a little thinner, and the ghost vine on my partner was much thicker.

In order to maintain his vitality, Zhao Yuan must continuously obtain vitality from these four killers, and if he gives less, the others will naturally give more.

"Hand over the antidote now, and I'll end this magic in no time. If you don't want to give, it's not a big deal, I'll let you watch your three brothers get sucked dry and die, and then you'll die too, but Monroe will continue to find me living people to drain life until the detonating magic on your storage space is broken. Zhao Yuan's voice did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations, like a cold statue, looking at the killer indifferently.

The killer had wanted to die together, after all, his two brothers, who had long been controlled, had gray hair. Even if they woke up, I am afraid that they would not be able to accept it, but he was very unwilling to think that the four of them would die in vain, and they would not be able to replace the lives of this human mage.

The most important thing is that every hesitation he has now will make the vitality of the four of them continue to drain, if he is the only one, he can still think calmly. But now, his three brothers are still bearing his share of the life that should have passed for him, and the guilt and urgency in the killer's heart drowned out all his resistance and calmness like a flood.

"Okay, I promise you, it's in the blue storage ring, and I'll give it to you myself. โ€

And after Zhao Yuan swallowed the antidote, he also followed the covenant to untie the energy-absorbing ghost vines on the four people. But the martial arts of the four people had already been sucked dry, and most of their vitality had been absorbed, so they could only be tied up and tied to the cellar by Monroe like an ordinary person.

Monroe saw that Zhao Yuan was already safe and sound, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he couldn't help but be a little afraid, fortunately, he and Zhao Yuan became friends, no matter how kind human beings are, they have a cunning nature.

Just now, when Zhao Yuan's life was at stake, he was calmer than himself and forced the killer to hand over the antidote. In fact, there is a big loophole in his rhetoric, that is, the consumption of mana. He must be able to keep finding some orc slaves to provide Zhao Yuan with life force, but whether Zhao Yuan's magic power can support this magic all the time is another matter. Fortunately, the killer had been made unable to keep his sanity by the tragic situation of his companions, so he handed over the antidote so easily.

Monroe didn't know that Zhao Yuan could replenish his magic power anytime and anywhere by devouring the crystal nucleus, and it was normal for him to think like this.

"By the way, Zhao Yuan, the wound on your body-" Monroe suddenly remembered that when he first saw Zhao Yuan, there was a large blood stain on his abdomen.

"It's alright, Monroe, thank you for your concern. Zhao Yuan smiled weakly. Although he had just been absorbing the life force of those four people as support, it was not false that his body was constantly suffering from the pain of piercing his heart. In that case, it's not easy to put on a poker face while maintaining your magic calmly. After some tossing, Zhao Yuan was already haggard.

"That's good, you rest early, and I'll take care of the rest. You've been a great help this time. Monroe didn't know what to say to thank Zhao Yuan, he always felt that those gorgeous words were the embodiment of cunning and treachery, but now when he wanted to use it, he didn't know how to speak, so he could only silently make up his mind in his heart that he must repay Zhao Yuan's kindness in the future. After all, the kindness of a friend is also a kindness.

Zhao Yuan returned to the room groggily after taking a bath, spread out on the bed and was about to fall asleep, when the voice of the old turtle suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Boy, didn't you notice that your performance today was not quite right?] Old Xuanwu specially picked Zhao Yuan this time to make a voice when he was about to fall asleep, which made this kid always disturb his sleep.

[What's wrong?] Zhao Yuan was suddenly woken up, and his heart was angry and stuffy, but he couldn't let it out, an uncomfortable horse.

[When you were in the Dust Mist Forest before, you encountered many dangers, but you didn't have the same as today. I felt it most clearly in your body, you were very calm and indifferent, when you fought with the beast before, you were still afraid of it] Old Xuanwu was annoyed by his mental activities before, but this time he really encountered the worry of his life, but Zhao Yuan's indifference made Lao Xuanwu feel a little cold in his back.

[Hey, isn't this normal, how can the attitude towards people and beasts be the same?] Zhao Yuan didn't expect that the old turtle disturbed his dreams just for this, isn't this normal?

[Why are people and beasts different!I'm a beast, no, I'm a monster, and I can't communicate with you normally!] Old Xuanwu was excited when he heard it, this is *naked discrimination!

[Eh, okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, beasts are more frightening, and I am not afraid of humans, so I am so calm, okay, old man. Zhao Yuan's head was swollen by the noise, and he couldn't help but beg for mercy.

[It's almost ......] Old Xuanwu muttered, and then fell silent. Zhao Yuan finally fell into a sweet dream as he wished.

In the dream, he saw his parents, and his father showed the same poker face in the company, his face was expressionless, and his eyes showed a frightening indifference. He also saw himself, and his expression was exactly the same as his father's, and the whole dream had a cold and heart-wrenching atmosphere. The mother was not far from the father and son, her eyes were full of worry, and her mouth opened and closed as if she was shouting something, but Zhao Yuan couldn't hear a word.

โ€œ...... Have to...... Abandon.................. Come back........................ .................. same thing," he faintly heard his father say, but when he looked up, his father closed his mouth again. But there was no indifference in his eyes, but he was full of worry like his mother.

He suddenly looked back at his mother, and this time he knew what she was shoutingโ€”"Come back, come back!"

"Ahh

"It turned out to be a dream,......" Zhao Yuan muttered to himself in a low voice, he wiped his face, his face was covered with cold sweat. Looking out the window, it was still pitch black, so he had to lie back on his sweat-soaked bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, recalling the strange dream he had just had.
