Chapter 1: Treasures
It's so cold, am I still alive? When I opened my eyes, I couldn't see anything, it was pitch black. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
My chest hurts, it hurts, why didn't I die? I covered the wound with my hand, and that was where the heart was, yes, it was supposed to be the heart.
The other hand felt the cold flesh, not only the hand, but my whole body felt very cold flesh, without a trace of the warmth of life, and there was a heavy smell of blood.
There were corpses all around, dense corpses, they were all failures, no, not just them, I should have been a failure, right? It's just that they became corpses, and I was still alive.
It feels like fate is ironic, I survived because I failed more than them - because my heart was offset, so the fatal stab didn't kill me.
However, it is not over yet, and the "messengers" are beginning to deal with us, and they must ensure that the failed products are destroyed without leakage.
I didn't want to die, and even though the wound hurt, I had to get up, get up as hard as I could, and run away.
The messengers also discovered me, and a group of them followed.
I don't know where I'm going, but since the messengers are carrying torches, I just know to run away from the shining points of light.
The ground was complicated, I couldn't see anything at all, it was pitch black all around, I tripped and fell to the ground.
I was already in a state of health, and I was injured and couldn't outrun the messengers, and after falling, the distance between the flames and me was rapidly decreasing.
"I can't die, I can't die!" "The desire to survive made me desperately crawl forward despite the pain.
The fear and despair in my heart widened as I saw the point of light getting closer and closer, and I wanted to cry or scream, but I knew that it would not help.
I frantically got up and continued to run. However, it can't get far. I suddenly felt empty under my feet, there should be a cliff ahead, right?
Although I was aware of the danger, my body could not stop in such a short period of time, and I stumbled. I fell into this cliff that I don't know how deep.
My body kept falling, and the wind was whistling, as if it was laughing at me: "You can't escape death in the end, you failure!"
I looked up and saw that the torches were gathering on the edge of the cliff. They were looking at me and discussing something.
I vaguely heard some words, but I didn't understand what they meant.
Ah, are you going to die? Suddenly I felt that my whole body was relaxed, and I really wanted to live and see the legendary "sunshine".
...
......
"Damn, Fenglu, don't go over, are you going to die?" a merfolk female shouted to the dwarven girl in the snowy wind.
This is the territory of the dwarves. Located at the extreme north of the Lion Continent, it snows all year round and has a very cold climate. It's far from human habitation, and because of its remoteness, even magic ships can't fly in.
The dwarves have been mining for many years, and there are many bottomless pits, some of which have been completely abandoned, and are left empty and ignored.
The dwarves hate trouble, so they don't even think about dealing with these pits. They are even more oblivious to the pollution they cause, and are more enthusiastic about spirits and barbecues.
Feng Lu is relatively delicate among dwarf women, especially those watery eyes. It's enough to make the man who sees it fall into it.
The only drawback of the phoenix is its short stature, which makes it look a little bloated—a characteristic of the dwarves.
However, Feng Lu did not lose her size like other dwarven women, her shortness and appearance formed a wonderful harmony, making her look like a cute big doll, so cute that people wanted to hug her.
And Feng Lu also has the biggest shortcoming of the dwarf race - big nerves, and he is also very curious.
Feng Lu was trying to approach an abandoned mine at this time. This pit is bottomless. This is the most legendary of the mines, because it was not abandoned because it was hollowed out, it was abandoned because of its mysterious dangers.
The pit is very deep, deeper than any dwarven mine, and no one knows what its end is, because this pit was not entirely dug by the dwarves, it is said that the dwarves opened up the underground caverns when they mined.
Feng Lu could only stop and turn her head to look at the senior sister behind her, with a disappointed expression.
Maaery, a mermaid who had come here from the kingdom of Ryfsea to learn the art of curses, was supposed to be about the same age as Fenglu, but she looked older in appearance. More than half of the marmaid's sea-blue hair has turned white.
Maali is learning the art of curses, and her appearance will age early, but her lifespan will be much longer, and if she is powerful, she will not have a problem living for a thousand years like the Ice Witch.
Feng Lu is different, she is a potion of learning, this profession is very popular among dwarves, as for curses, dwarves are not so popular, so this cute dwarf girl can still maintain such a flourish.
"The pit is often filled with geocentric currents, and the air that circulates can suck anything nearby into the cavern at any time. Once sucked in, it is likely, no, that it will never come back. Maairi explained to Fenglu, "Do you now know why this pit was abandoned?"
The Cursed Witch had no less knowledge to learn than the Magician's, a common knowledge that Maairi had learned a long time ago.
Although Fenglu also studied with Maaery, it was a pity that the dwarf's personality made it impossible for her to listen to the lecture quietly, so she was far behind Maairi in terms of knowledge.
The reason why these two classmates came to such a dangerous place was because it was their final exam.
"If you go to the 'Empty Pit' for a week, and if you can come back alive, you will be considered to have passed the grades. If you want the highest grades, help me find a treasure. "In the Ice Academy, the headmaster, Witch Wynami, announced this to the students.
"Four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night, what kind of treasure is this?" Feng Green returned to Maairi's side and complained, "Where to find such a treasure?"
"Don't think about anything, it's important to stay away from danger, after all, this exam may be accompanied by death. Maairi said indifferently, looking warily at the huge pit in the distance.
The pit was wide enough that the hundreds of students taking the exam were so spread out that it was almost impossible to see each other. Maairi and Fenglu can be said to be very lucky to be able to get together here as companions.
Feng Lu was very dissatisfied with Maaili's caution, as a dwarf, Feng Lu had a very strong competitive spirit, and she was very eager to find that treasure and become the first place in this exam.
As for death, ha, just kidding, in the exams of the Ice and Snow Academy, which time was not accompanied by death?
The dwarves would not have any opinion on this, and they praised the god of courage, believing that only those who faced death would be favored by the god of courage. Therefore, this examination system of the Ice and Snow Academy not only did not discourage the dwarves, but also made the number of applicants remain high.
"Is that Earth-Centric Current really that terrifying?" Feng Lu said goodbye, it seemed that the dwarf girl still wanted to find the mysterious treasure.
"Well, there's no pattern at all. Maari replied, "Sometimes the pit sucks things out of the ground, and sometimes it throws out treasures from deep underground, which are sometimes priceless. ”
The mermaid paused, and continued, "That's why there are often outlaws near this mine. They just try their luck and see if they can find good treasures, so that they can hope to get rich overnight. As a result, many people have disappeared and been swept into the eternal darkness of the earth by the currents of the earth. ”
After listening to Maaery's words, Feng Lu remembered many of her compatriots who had disappeared before, and her face couldn't help but turn a little pale - she was still a young girl no matter how she said it, and the courage of dwarven blood could not dispel her fear of danger.
"Anyway, let's get out of here. Maairi turned around and was about to leave, but Feng Lu grabbed the placket of her clothes.
"What's wrong?"
"There's something there......" Feng Lu became sensitive from fear, and she pointed to the slippery rocks and said to her companion.
"Really?" Maari looked closely at where Feng Lu was pointing, and seemed to notice that something was really moving.
"You wait here, I'll take a look. Maairi said to the large doll girl, and then cautiously approached the unidentified creature.
Maairi is very careful, and she casts several protective spells on herself to ensure that she is not accidentally harmed.
When she got close to the rubble, Maairi saw what kind of "animal" it was.
A black-haired interracial girl, unclothed and covered in blood, appears to be badly injured and struggling.
"It's a wounded!" Maari said to her partner, "she may need your help." ”
Suddenly, Maairi thought of something, and with a happy expression on her face, she said loudly to Feng Lu, "I know what the treasure the headmaster is talking about!" (To be continued.) )
