130. Stones
The King of the Mire looked no different from a normal miremon, except that it was countless times larger, and it was a mass of mud with eight small black eyes.
At this time, its black eyes, which were countless times larger than ordinary mire beasts, were staring at Zhao Yuan, and its body rose and fell for a while, as if a muddy ocean had set off waves. It seemed to know that it couldn't beat Zhao Yuan, and it didn't take the initiative to attack, and its huge body stopped in front of Zhao Yuan, preventing him from harming his descendants.
"Don't you want to leave, if you don't leave, your life will stay here. Zhao Yuan's voice is not big or small, but it can be heard by everyone.
The king of the mire made a purring sound, and seemed to be extremely jealous of Zhao Yuan, but he still stood in front of the little mire beast that was frozen and unwilling to leave.
"You're going to take it away? That's not going to work, we've spent a lot of money to catch it, so we'll have to get it back." Zhao Yuan seemed to understand what the King of the Mire meant, and with a playful smile on his face, he replied.
Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, the King of the Mire hesitated for a moment, and finally, a fist-sized hole suddenly cracked in its body, and a small crystal bottle rolled out of it.
Zhao Yuan took the crystal bottle, threw it to Akuma behind him and asked, "Is this worth it?"
Akuma looked at the small bottle in his hand, and was so shocked that his jaw couldn't close: "This, this, of course it's valuable!" Zhao Yuan looked at his reaction, showed a satisfied look, and waved his hand to the King of the Swamp, signaling that it could go.
Who knew that after this hill-like mire king rolled up the little mire beast and squirmed for a few steps, it didn't move again, and turned around and stared at Zhao Yuan with eight eyes.
"Little brother—it, what's wrong with it?" Akumar couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the eight basketball-sized black eyes. Zhao Yuan was also a little confused, but then he saw the large ice in front of it, he reacted, and as soon as the wand was raised, a warm breeze blew across the earth, and the hard ice on the ground melted instantly.
The Mire King waited until all the ice melted before he let out a strange cry, and all the thawed miremons around him followed him away, looking at the mighty team of mireurmons, Akuma couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to have you this time, otherwise we would have died here." ”
Zhao Yun shook his head: "Just take what you need." Now that you can go back safely, I won't go with you for the rest of the journey. ”
Akuma was stunned, and then thought of the reward that Zhao Yuan had proposed before, and his heart suddenly became clear, he didn't say anything, said goodbye to Zhao Yuan briefly, and led the people of the Fierce Leopard Team to leave the oasis.
Zhao Yuan turned his head to look at the oasis, the oasis was still a tree-lined and vibrant, and he couldn't see any danger at all. But if it can make the old Xuanwu feel something, and can make the king of the land snake swamp of the traveler swamp afraid of it so much, the secret here will definitely not disappoint Zhao Yuan.
The four-person team hadn't left yet, they stood not far away and watched Zhao Yuan walk into the depths of the oasis blankly, and after a long time, one of them spoke: "That human race, it's an eighth-order archmage......
"Yes, only an archmage can make the King of the Mire retreat without a fight. His teammates muttered.
"Oh my God, I actually saw the King of the Mire and the Eighth Order Archmage today! I can blow this experience for ten years!" The youngest mercenary in the group jumped up excitedly, completely unaware that if it was wrong, all of them would be buried here. The older mercenary looked at him carefree and excited, smiled helplessly, touched his head and said, "Let's hurry up and complete the task today, go back to hand in the task early, you can also go back early and tell them about this experience." ”
"Hmm!" the young mercenary nodded vigorously, and the four quickly packed up the camp and set out on their way to the swamp.
The more he entered the depths of the oasis, the more Zhao Yuan felt puzzled, everything around him was too normal, and his spiritual power searched almost three feet to the ground, but he still didn't find any doubts and clues.
He wasted a morning here, and at last he was still a little discouraged, and he took a long breath and sat down on a raised rock, took out some honey cloud fruits and fed them to Xiaopi, and threw two into his mouth.
Just as he was tasting the sweet and juicy fruit in his mouth with relish, his body suddenly shook off guard, and Zhao Yuan immediately bounced up from the stone with his legs, and when he looked back, the stone somehow sank down. Zhao Yuan stared at the stone, the light in his eyes flickered, and he used his spiritual power to explore it carefully, before he slowly stepped forward, hugged the stone with both hands, and pulled it up hard.
"Huh-" Zhao Yuan exerted force in his hand, but found that the stone seemed to be tightly attached to the ground below, and he couldn't pull it up. He was about to use his magic to cut it off, but he stopped for a moment, and stood there with his eyes closed in contemplation.
The messy lines on Akuma's map before were replayed in his mind, and the vast spiritual power engraved every detail on it in detail in Zhao Yuan's mind, outlining it carefully. Suddenly, he opened his eyes sharply and began to walk briskly in the other direction, this time, instead of wandering aimlessly, he went straight to a certain place—"Sure enough!"
Looking at the inconspicuous stone in front of him, Zhao Yuan showed a look of clarity in his eyes, he sat on it like just now, but the stone did not move for a long time. But Zhao Yuan was not in a hurry, he stood up and exerted his hands with force, this time, the stone was easily pulled up by him, but it didn't move at all.
In this way, Zhao Yuan found a few similar but inconspicuous stones, pressed or pulled them up, and the route he took was not groundless, but followed the seemingly messy lines in his memory, and triggered the mechanisms one by one in order.
In Ruifeng Town, Akuma and his party had just arrived at the mercenary hall when they saw a tall female mage walking towards them angrily.
"Okay, you Akuma, you really carried me to the Traveler's Swamp, so I'm not afraid of losing you!" The female mage had sharp eyebrows, and she looked to be in her early twenties, but she had a very resolute temperament.
"Nini, don't you know that we bumped into the Great Luck Mile this time, and we actually met an eighth-order archmage—" A leopard clan said excitedly, only to be interrupted by Akuma the next moment.
"Alright, you all disbanded and rested. There was a rare displeasure on Akuma's face, and when he saw that the people around him were almost scattered, he said to the female mage named Nini in a deep voice, "What are you doing here, I don't welcome you here!"
"You-" Nini's eyes turned red with anger. I heard Akuma continue: "You are not a little girl anymore, what are you doing with an old man who is about to go to the ground with me every day, it is only right to find a young man who is good for you to marry as soon as possible." ”
"I don't!" Nini said loudly, ignoring the surprised glances of the people around her, and said to Akuma word by word: "Akuma, I'm going to be with you, don't you want to get rid of me!"
"Ahh
The violent tremor lasted for about a minute before it disappeared, and everyone's panic was uneasy: "What happened?" "Is it an earthquake?" "Is there a strange treasure born?"
"Look!" Suddenly, a man standing at the door of the mercenary union pointed in the direction of the Traveler's Swamp and shouted, and everyone immediately rushed out of the mercenary union, only to see that in the Traveler's Swamp, a huge silver pillar of light lit up at some point, reaching the sky.
"It's a ruin! let's go and see it!" exclaimed someone in surprise, and many people were eager to try it and run into the swamp.
"Listen to me first!Don't go in, it's dangerous!" When he saw the silver light, something suddenly exploded in Akuma's mind, and the memory that had been forcibly erased by someone resurfaced in this moment.
"There is danger there, the evil beasts of the oasis have been awakened, and those who enter will only be eaten!" Akuma shouted as he stopped in front of the crowd.
"What kind of are you talking about, get out of the way, or I'll fight you together!" a mercenary shouted arrogantly, but his teammates behind him immediately grabbed him: "That's the captain of the Fierce Panther mercenaries, they are the largest mercenary team in this area!"
"Akuma, we've also been in the Traveler's Swamp for so many years, where are there any Oasis Beasts, I respect you as the captain of the Fierce Leopard, but for now, please get out of the way. The leader of the other squad spoke, and the other mercenaries stood behind him in support.
Nini looked at the people with unkind faces, and Lala Akuma said, "Akuma, don't pay attention to them, let them go to death." Her voice was not small, and when it reached everyone's ears, it immediately aroused a burst of public anger, but because of the identities of the two, they did not have a seizure.
Akuma looked at the pale crowd, his eyes darkened, and finally turned sideways and said: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't do these thankless things, but I still remind you one last time, an eighth-order powerhouse has already entered, if you have the guts, you might as well go and compete with him." ”
"What!Eighth Order powerhouse!"
"It's impossible, he must be lying to us! There are only a few eighth-order powerhouses in the beast clan!"
"Not necessarily, I remember yesterday a strange Terran mage went in with Akuma. ”
"Terran mage, I seem to remember the rumors I heard earlier......
"I know Akuma's personality, he has always been very kind, and he has a lot of prestige in this area!"
"Then are we still going to go?"
Amid the argument, Akuma walked away silently. Nini followed behind him without leaving an inch, rolling her eyes at the tangled mercenaries.
