Chapter 57: The Night Is Too Beautiful
Originally, more than 100 contractors had been looking for the fire element that they had not been able to find for most of the day, and Zhu Rong broke out of the ground at random and sent it to the door on his own, so that the people around him almost hit their jaws on the ground.
"Fourteen pieces...... A full fourteen Fire Elemental ......" The Great Elder said excitedly at this time, "It only costs 100 points to hire a beginner contractor, and here, there are 140,000 points all of a sudden!"
"Congratulations to the Great Elder, our dilemma of insufficient manpower can finally be alleviated. The contractors around him said with a smile.
"Hey, you're happy to wait, these fire elementals are going to give me a portion. Zhu Rong on the side pulled out the giant sword, and then raised it high, and all the magma around him returned to the ground, but those fire elements were as if they were attracted by magnets, and they all stuck to the giant sword.
Ye Chen stood next to him and covered his head with a little headache, but who made him still unable to make Zhu Rong completely obedient, and he couldn't make the other party angry, what if his Servant put aside his picks at a critical moment?
"Naturally, the old man is a good man, I wonder how many fire elements you want, girl?" the Great Elder asked aloud.
"I wanted to ask for more, but the little master turned his elbow outward, which is really depressing, so it would be good to have only four. Zhu Rong pursed his lips and said, with a look of resentment.
But she thought that the number was small, but others didn't think so, and immediately some people were not happy, "What, four?! There are a total of fourteen fire elements here, and you will have to go a third of it this time!"
"What, this little brother is not happy?" Zhu Rong's face showed a trace of impatience, as a berserker in the face of someone other than Ye Chen, he would definitely not be a good person to talk to, and his eyes were burning like flames and looked at each other.
"Y-what do you want to do!ah...... Hot...... Scald...... Ahh......hhh
"Zhu Rong, stop, he's not an enemy!" Ye Chen hurriedly stopped on the side, for fear that the joke would be too much, and it would be difficult for the other party to do anything other than that.
"Hehe, for the sake of the little master's face, I will spare you first, next time I won't be so lucky~" Zhu Rong said to the sad contractor with a smile.
"Okay, everyone doesn't need to say any more," the Great Elder said helplessly, "This is a volcano, if it weren't for this girl's help, we would never have been able to get these fire elements, and now it's all thanks to this girl's blessing, even if we give her four?"
"Being able to get ten fire elements is already an unexpected joy, and the old man is grateful to the girl for her help. ”
"Hehe, it's still whitebeard that you can speak, you can take these ten fire elements!" The flame giant sword waved slightly, and ten fiery red rays of light flew in the direction where the Great Elder was, while the remaining four were put away by Zhu Rong.
"The climate of the extinct volcano is hot, except for the dragons of the fire attribute, few dragons and beasts will gather here, and it is not suitable for us humans to habit, only a few contractors need to guard at the foot of the mountain. At this time, Ye Chen said to the Great Elder.
"That's right, the old man let twenty contractors with fire attribute Servant stay here, although this environment is not suitable for us humans, but if it matches the attribute of Servant, it can increase its combat power a little. The Great Elder nodded.
After all twenty contractors had been selected, the large army moved on to the next target, the Backlight Valley.
The Backlight Valley, with a large number of mineral reserves, was originally the lair of the trapped golden dragon, and there are also various metal dragon beasts that live.
Among the four target areas set aside by the Great Elder, the Backlight Valley is second only to the vast forest sea in importance, because it contains various mineral veins that can be of great help to the contractor.
Originally, the Backlight Valley was one of the largest mines in the Southern Dragon Wall, but since its fall, those precious and rich deposits can no longer play their due role.
With the crushing victory of the First Battle of the Extinct Volcano, the fighting spirit of the contractors was very high at this time, as if they thought that every battle after that would be as easy, and no one noticed Ye Chen's tightly knit brows.
At nightfall, everyone set up camp and set up tents, because of the arrangement of the Great Elder, the other contractors were all five people squeezed into a tent, but Ye Chen was assigned one by himself.
"What's the matter, you seem to be a little unhappy?"
Dongfang Huang walked up to Ye Chen and sat down, and asked out loud.
"The battle in the backlight valley is not easy to fight. Ye Chen shook his head and sighed, "I have asked the Great Elder to understand the terrain, although it is a valley, it is somewhat similar to the hills, the peaks on both sides are not high, there is nothing to be tricked in the terrain, and the dragon beasts there are all metal dragons, and the damage of the entity is extremely limited." ”
"Can you only fight hard?" Dongfang Huang covered his mouth and said with a little surprise, "For us who use magic, the metal dragon is not much of a threat, but most of the other contractors' attack methods are physical blows, and they will definitely be injured!"
"Yes, coupled with the fact that due to the previous big victory, many people have risen into an arrogant mentality, and they will definitely suffer because of the underestimation of the enemy at that time. Ye Chen sighed and looked at the contractuals around him who were eating meat and making trouble.
"Let's talk about it then, anyway, they will suffer losses, we just need to remind them in advance, and it's their business to listen or not. Dongfang Huang snorted and said.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is no need to rush for a while. Ye Chen listened to the words of the pink-haired Lori and nodded.
"By the way, what about Miss Ben's tent?" Dongfang Huang looked around and said suspiciously, "Just walked all the way, and they all said that Miss Ben's tent is here." ”
Ye Chen was a little surprised, "There is only one tent here, is it wrong?"
"Won't you...... Even the Great Elder said that Miss Ben's tent was here, and she would never be mistaken......" Dongfang Huang said with some confusion.
"That's really weird...... Ye Chen looked left and right, he was the far left of the entire camp, and there were no other tents within twenty meters.
At this moment, several contractors passed in front of Ye Chen and the others, and one of them turned his head and said with a smile, "Isn't Brother Ye still resting? If I had such a good wife, I would have rolled the sheets around me a long time ago!"
"Wife?!" Ye Chen and Dongfang Huang exclaimed in unison.
"What's so embarrassing about this, the relationship between the two of you has long been understood by all of us, and the Great Elder even specially assigned a tent to the two of you, I really envy us!" said the other enviously.
"It's worthy of the man who saved our battle castle, he found such a beautiful wife at a young age, unlike the three of us, who can only pick up soap from each other......" The man finally said with a sigh, holding a mysterious rectangular solid in his hand.
Letting the three of them go farther and farther, Ye Chen's whole person was motionless like a fossil, and Dongfang Huang's face turned red into a small apple.
"It's hard to ...... Don't...... Miss Ben is going to sleep in the same tent as you?"
"If we heard it right...... Yes......" Ye Chen said with difficulty as if something was stuck in his throat.
"What are you kidding!! pink-haired Lori screamed at once, pointed at Ye Chen with a trembling finger and said, "Let Miss Ben sleep in the same tent as you, a pervert, a pervert, and a lewd beast, God knows if she will do something disgusting, it's better to die!"
"Hey, hey, where am I perverted and perverted?" Ye Chen really felt extremely wronged, what a pure person he was, he would be misunderstood by the other party like that!
"Hmph, even if I freeze to death outside, I won't sleep in the same tent as you!" Dongfang Huang said stiffly, without any room for retreat.
"Is it really no longer considered?"
"Absolutely, absolutely not considered!"
"Okay, I'll go to bed first, and the eldest lady will keep vigil slowly. Ye Chen showed a very sloppy smile, turned around and walked into the tent, and lay down in the warm bed.
"Damn, if you want to take advantage of Miss Ben, there's no way!" Dongfang Huang viciously waved his fist at the air twice, and said while roasting the fire.
With the light and heat of a campfire, what's there to be afraid of in the night?
But after a while, the bonfires around her were extinguished one after another, and several contractors also walked in front of her.
"This young lady, it's time to rest now, can you please put out the campfire?"
"Why, Miss Ben just wants to continue the fire!" Dongfang Huang said with a snort.
"I'm sorry, the Great Elder has stipulated that the bonfire must be extinguished, because the light and temperature of the flame may attract dragon beasts and disturb everyone's rest. ”
As the contractor finished speaking, a jet of water erupted from the mouth of the blue servant beside him, completely extinguishing the bonfire, and then turned to leave.
"Bastard!!" Dongfang Huang stomped his feet angrily, if anyone in the Dongfang family dared to do this, but this is the wall of the Southern Imperial Dragon, and no one will treat her differently because of her identity.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and all the contractors around them were lying in the tent, and the whirring cold wind accompanied by strange sounds continued to pass on Dongfang Huang's body.
"Good...... It's so cold......" Without the heating of the bonfire, Dongfang Huang felt that her body temperature was constantly dropping, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and the strange feeling was constantly entwining in her heart.
"Ahh
"No...... Isn't it just sleeping in the same tent...... He didn't dare to do anything to Miss Ben......"
"At this time...... Ye Chen should be asleep...... Now sneak in, sleep a little, and come out quietly in the morning, and you won't be discovered......"
"Yes, Dongfang Huang, isn't it just a little wronged, what's the big deal!"
Under the double pressure of cold and pitch black, the pink-haired Lori finally couldn't bear it anymore, tiptoeing, quietly moving towards the tent, and burrowing her head into it.
"It's a good thing, this stupid guy is already asleep!" Pink Lori finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person just got into it and lay on the other side.
There is only one quilt, on Ye Chen's side, in order not to alarm the other party, the pink-haired Lori can only lie flat, fortunately, it is indeed warmer in the tent than outside, and soon Dongfang Huang gradually fell asleep, and there was a slight sound in his nose.
In the darkness, Ye Chen, who should have fallen asleep a long time ago, suddenly opened his eyes, shook his head with a smile, carefully draped his quilt over the pink hair Lori who shrunk into a ball, and then closed his eyes sideways again.
