Chapter Twenty-Three: The Candle Dragon
The next showdown for the next winner was announced on the tournament stage. attracted the onlookers of the academy disciples.
Fu Zhu, Bai Shi and Yan Zhen stood in front of the competition platform. After Bai Shi saw that it was Hongyi who was facing off against his husband, his face was full of penetrating smiles.
And Yan Zhen saw that Hongyi's duel was the queen of husbands, and his face was complicated.
"Husband, you're fighting that nameless boy. Bai Shi said lightly.
Fu Zhu turned around and glanced at Bai Shi, and saw through another layer of Bai Shi's meaning.
"Your woe is trying to lead me?"
Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Fu Zhu had already thought of what he thought.
"Husband, why don't you make a deal?"
Bai Shi saw that Fu Zhu had never spoken, and after looking left and right, he leaned into Fu Zhu's ear and whispered: "The person who can kill your mother must be extraordinary, and you will be able to kill that kid next time." If you can find the murderer one day, our people can help you with all our might. ”
Hearing about his mother, the husband's eyes were like swords and he looked at Bai Shi tightly. The mother's death in vain has become a rebel for the husband, and now it is a little unpleasant to be mentioned so bluntly. But thinking of the power behind Bai Shi, Fu Zhu's heart was moved.
After a while, the silent husband said: "A few days ago, I ...... less."
"An ethereal Pegasus inheritance and a solid force to help. "Bai Shiwei is a husband who analyzes the pros and cons.
After careful consideration, Fu Zhu nodded cautiously.
Yan Zhen, who was in the distance, looked at the two people who were talking secretly, although he couldn't hear what the two were saying. But after seeing Fu Zhu nodding, Yan Zhen roughly guessed something. Ignoring the eyes of the people around him, he ran in front of Bai Shi and Fuzhu.
"Bai Shi, don't you think it's too much?" Yan Yan said angrily.
Bai Shi pretended to be innocent and did not want to admit the previous conspiracy. "Yan Zhen, where did you start with this. ”
Yan Zhen ignored Bai Shi and stared at her husband.
"What are you going to do, husband? I know you're not going to lie. Are you going to make a move on Hong?"
"Yes. Fu Zhu replied dryly.
Yan Zhen understands that Fu Zhu's character will not change for anyone. So Yan Zhen looked at Bai Shi.
"Bai Shi, why do you insist on getting along with him?"
"Then why do you insist on protecting him?" Bai Shi's smiling face gradually turned cold. The person I like is actually going to a human being from a humble background everywhere.
"Because he saved me. ”
"Is it just because he saved you?" said Bai Shi's face was full of doubt.
Yan Zhen flashed a trace of panic, but quickly calmed down again. "I'm sure of this person. “
Bai Shi was slightly shocked, he didn't expect Yan Zhen to be like this.
"You think it through. Don't you remember why you switched to human law now?"
"Yes, but I still have to protect him. Yan Zhen insisted.
"Now that mankind is in power, there will be a battle between man and beast. Are you going to let the entire Chongming Bird Clan stand on the opposite side of the Great Wilderness?" Bai Shi almost roared at the end, and this gaffe attracted everyone's attention.
"So what. ”
Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at the unfamiliar Yan Yan in front of him, and smiled angrily. The husband didn't want to say much, so he left a sentence of "remember your promise" and turned away.
"It's good to do it yourself. Bai Shi also left the place after dropping a sentence.
And Hong Yiyi and his party in the distance happened to come over to check the battle situation in the next few days.
Yan Zhen came to Hong Yi with a nervous mood. "Hongyi, in a few days...... You're going to fight against your husbands. ”
Hong Yi looked at Yan Zhen with a complicated expression. Her family and herself have a common enmity, but Yan Zhen insists on doing this to herself.
"Yes. ”
"Husbands and humans have a family feud......
"I know. ”
"Give up. I'm afraid he'll kill you. Yan Yan said anxiously.
"Thank you for your concern. "Hong Yi doesn't want to have more entanglements with Yan Zhen, because one day, Hong Yi will go to the Chongming Bird Clan to ask for an explanation.
Yan Zhen stood in place, holding a shining crimson dragon scale tightly in his hand, and looked carefully at the word "candle" on the dragon scale.
Just as the two fell silent, a man with a sturdy figure of eight feet appeared behind Yan Zhen. Muscles of explosive power propped up his dark red armor. A pair of bright eyes on the angular face reveal incomparable fortitude and sharpness. But there were dragon horns protruding from the top of the man's head. That grim appearance rejects people thousands of miles away.
Yan Zhen turned around and saw the man, and said in surprise: "Brother Candle Dragon!~"
Tuoba Zhuang, who was munching on the roast chicken on the side, was so shocked that he threw half of the roast chicken on the table, quickly got up, and wiped the oil stains on his face in a panic. Ledong on the side saw Tuoba Zhuang lose his temper for the first time, and he also set his eyes on the man.
The man ignored Hong Yi and the three of them and looked down at Yan Zhen. The cold face showed a rare pampering and tenderness. The candle dragon gently rubbed Yan Zhen's hair.
"I haven't seen him for many years, Yan Zhen has grown up. You don't have to crush the scales in your hand. ”
Yan Zhen, who has always been free and easy, rarely appeared a little girly and shy at this time.
"Brother Candle Dragon, I haven't seen you for so many years. Where have you been? I heard that your tribe ......" Yan Zhen found that he mentioned something that should not be mentioned, and the gray-blue pupils of the candle dragon revealed an incomparably sad and lonely color.
"Brother Candle Dragon, I'm sorry...... I ......" Yan Zhen panicked. The candle dragon shook his head and forced a smile.
"Let's go, tell me what happened to you over the years. Candle Dragon said.
"This ......" Yan Zhen turned around and looked at Hong Yi, and saw that Hong Yi did not look up. "Let's go. ”
Candle Dragon and Yan Ochre left the place. Just as the two of them were leaving, the candle dragon suddenly turned around and looked at Hong Yi deeply. The indescribable emotions in his eyes were flowing.
After seeing the two leave, Tuoba Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.
Ledong laughed. Tuoba Zhuang looked at Ledong puzzled.
"Zhuang, I didn't expect you to be so many?"
Tuoba Zhuang punched Ledong with a stumble.
"Annoyed and angry!" Ledong ignored the attention of the people around him, lying on the ground and laughing.
"Be quiet, don't talk nonsense. Do you know who this is?"
Looking at Tuoba Zhuang's appearance, Ledong returned to his normal shape and came up, and Hong Yi was also very interested in waiting for Tuoba Zhuang to reveal the secret.
"This is a candle dragon. The totem candle dragon of one of the five totem tribes of the Great Wilderness. And it is the strongest of the five totems. ”
Hearing this, Le Dong hurriedly covered his mouth and looked around cautiously.
"If you let him listen to it just now, you can make fun of him. I'm afraid you're seven ripe by now. Tuoba Zhuang stared at Ledong with a serious face, as if Ledong was already a barbecue on the grill.
Ledong shrank his head, and Hong Yi immediately teased: "The second son of the Le family, isn't he not afraid of heaven and earth?"
"Heaven is not afraid of the earth, and it is also based on the foundation of living. Ledong's crooked reasoning left the two speechless.
"But I heard Yan Zhen call Candle Dragon his brother before. The totem of this status is logically equivalent to the patriarch of the Chongming Bird, isn't Yan Zhen messing up his generations by calling him like this?" Ledong said his puzzlement.
Tuoba Zhuang thought for a while and said, "I heard from the tribesmen that this candle dragon is born with a quirky personality and has little contact with the forces in the Great Wilderness. In terms of friendship, I am afraid that there are few people in the Chongming Bird Clan who know Candle Dragon. ”
"Has something happened to his tribe?" Hongyi asked suddenly.
Tuoba Zhuang was very surprised, Hongyi had even heard of this. "Hongyi, I admire you more and more. You know that. That's what I heard from the tribesmen. Tuoba Zhuang paused, looked around left and right to see if there was no situation, and continued: "A few years ago, the tribesmen sheltered by the candle dragon were killed overnight. The whole tribe was bleeding like a river, and not a single one of them was alive. Everywhere there are severed arms and stumps that have been eaten by foreign beasts. That's a miserable one. ”
"Didn't such a strong totem go for revenge?"
"It's evil. I only know that it was done by a strange beast. When the candle dragon found out, he was furious, but after checking for a long time, he didn't know where the strange beast did it. The candle dragon is still looking for clues. ”
The three of them fell into deep thought in tacit understanding, but they couldn't think of a reason.
Suddenly, Tuoba Zhuang jumped up and shouted: "By the way, listen to what the tribesmen say, ......" Before he finished speaking, a dragon scale glowing with crimson light shot out and hit Tuoba Zhuang's forehead.
Tuoba Zhuang covered his forehead and exclaimed.
Seeing someone sneak attacking, Ledong couldn't help but get up and wanted to find the culprit. But Tuoba Zhuang didn't care about the swollen lump on his forehead, and dragged Ledong and Hongyi to escape from the spot.
"Zhuang, what are you running?" Ledong, who was puzzled, dragged Tuoba Zhuang.
Tuoba Zhuang shrank his head and looked around left and right, and Hongyi couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
"The root of the tongue chewing behind the back was discovered by the main owner. Hong Yi looked at the dragon scales in Tuoba Zhuang's hand slyly.
Tuoba Zhuang gasped and gave a thumbs up to Hongyi.
As Ledong, who was born in the Hongkong Continent since he was a child, and Hongyi, who spent time in the Tonghai Realm, may not know much about it. The importance of the totems on the Great Wilderness for a tribe. Totem in the great wilderness of the jungle to protect the peace of a human race, is admired by all the people, now Tuoba Zhuang is like the village edge of the idle woman with many mouths and tongues, the candle dragon's warning is also enough to give the emperor Jiang face.
