Xiao Rui did not speak, but directly entered the sea of consciousness of this county lord. But Xiao Rui didn't hurt him, just searched for some information from his sea of knowledge.

Then, Xiao Rui's figure flickered, and he had already left the study, and according to the memories of the county lord's knowledge of the sea, he came to the treasure house of the county lord's mansion.

It's just that the treasure vault built by Ye Xue when he was in office before, since Ye Xue's father and son were killed by Song Defei in the imperial city, the emperor sent this new county lord.

But nothing has changed, just some personnel adjustments. Although there are a few henchmen who have followed Ye Xue for many years, most of them still abide by their duties. And the emperor is not willing to do more killing, and at the same time, a large area of blood exchange is not necessarily a good thing for Yeluo County.

And after the new lord came, he patronized the affairs of the county, and this treasure trove has not yet had time to be organized. Now Xiao Rui is here, and he directly uses the method he can get into it.

After Xiao Rui came in, he didn't take other items, but came to the innermost cabinet and took out the dragon egg from inside.

Looking at the dragon egg in his hand, Xiao Rui showed a smile on his face. Then, using the teleportation method, he left the county lord's mansion and ran quickly towards the west.

Poor county lord, still in the study at this time, stunned. He himself was still wondering if he was dazzled, or if he was too tired and hallucinated, why did a man appear in front of him, and why did he disappear again in an instant.

After two days on the road, Xiao Rui came to the edge of a forest. He steadied himself and looked around. I was sure that this was the habitat of the dwarves that I had heard during the time I was tracking Song Defei.

Dwarves are usually far from human society, but they also come into contact with humans. Exchange for some daily necessities or weapons and equipment. So there are still people who know where they live, but very few people come in.

Although Xiao Rui had seen the attack power of the dwarves, now that he had come to their place of residence, he had raised his vigilance and prepared. Calming down slightly, Xiao Rui walked slowly towards the forest.

As soon as he walked into the forest, Xiao Rui heard a voice above his head. But Xiao Rui didn't care. Because he had already sensed that there was a dwarf hidden there.

Continuing inside, he noticed more dwarves watching him in the trees. But the dwarves didn't do anything either. It seems that they are also observing Xiao Rui's intentions.

After continuing to walk for a while, Xiao Rui stopped, then looked up at a tree in front of him and said, "Go and report to your patriarch, just say that Xiao Rui has something important to see!"

The dwarf in the tree seemed startled. Because he thinks he has a hidden art. It has reached the point where it is so perfect that it is impossible for anyone to find out.

But now the young man standing in front of the tree was speaking directly to the place, did he really find himself, or was he just talking to the air?

The dwarf felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't want to show up, because he felt that the human had not found himself. But what this human said made him have to tell the patriarch.

Just as he was hesitating, Xiao Rui said to him again: "Time is pressing, I hope you can tell your patriarch soon." Otherwise, you can't afford to delay the big thing. ”

Xiao Rui's sentence said. The dwarf finally believed that Xiao Rui had found himself. It seems that his skills are still not enough, such a young human can find himself, if he is a little older, it is not easy to see himself!

What a failure! Coming down from the tree, he glanced at Xiao Rui with a resentful look in his eyes, and turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest.

Xiao Rui did not move fast this time, but took a leisurely step, continuing in the direction of the dwarf. It's not that he doesn't want to chase down, it's that he doesn't feel necessary.

I'm here to make a deal with the dwarves, not to make trouble here. Besides, this is someone's territory after all, so it's better to be careful in everything you do.

If a nation or a race can survive in the long river of history, it will definitely have its reason for existence and certain conditions.

And strong means of protection are the necessary guarantee for the survival of any race. Although Xiao Rui had a lot of contact with the people around him during this period of time to inquire about Song Defei's news, no one could tell the situation here.

This alone shows that there are some hidden organs or secret powers here. And he didn't plan to be an enemy of the dwarves here, so naturally there was no need to cause this trouble for himself.

Walking slowly inside, Xiao Rui felt that the aura around him began to become tense, and he stopped. Because he knew it was the dwarven spies, sensing that he was going too far inside, and tried to stop him.

Since people didn't welcome it, Xiao Rui took the initiative to stop. Fortunately, the messenger turned back after a while, saw Xiao Rui and said, "Our patriarch has agreed, you can go in!"

Xiao Rui smiled slightly, and followed the dwarf into the depths of the forest. As he went deeper and deeper, Xiao Rui could feel more and more aura around him, and his strength became stronger and stronger.

Although these breaths were not enough to trap Xiao Rui, it could not be ruled out that there were still some mechanisms ambushed here. It seems that the dwarves are still very cautious about outsiders, and are ready to attack at any time.

Xiao Rui did not panic, and followed the dwarf who led Ruth to a clearing in the middle of the forest. There is a low house here, the area is not very large, but in the distant forest, there are still many sparse houses.

Obviously, this is the place where the dwarves live, although it seems that there are not many houses, but the dwarves usually do not live here, they sleep in the trees every day, so as to avoid the attacks of some fierce beasts.

And the room here is only used once or twice when they are meeting in the group, or entertaining outsiders. Of course, it also has the effect of confusing outsiders.

Xiao Rui naturally didn't care about this, because the purpose of his visit was not to get to know the dwarves, but to find them to do something. So when he came to this house, the first thing he saw was an old man with a white beard standing in front of a room.

The old man was also not tall, no different from an ordinary dwarf. It's just that there are more wrinkles on the face, and the beard is longer.

But the old man stood there, but it was impossible to feel that he was a dwarf. There was an aura emanating from him, and that aura seemed to give people a desire to look up.

Although Xiao Rui wanted to look down at him, he didn't mean to underestimate him at all. Because he knew that this was a truly respectable old man!

Coming to the old man, Xiao Rui bowed and saluted: "Junior Xiao Rui, meet the patriarch!"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Young man, how can you be sure that the old man is the patriarch?"

Xiao Rui also smiled: "There are at least two dozen masters around you, and I think only the patriarch can be protected by so many people!"

The patriarch laughed: "I'm sorry, let Mr. Xiao laugh." The people in the clan have not seen much of the world, and they are worried about the safety of the old man, so they hope that Mr. Xiao is not strange!"

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "The patriarch is noble, and it should be protected." What's more, it's the first time I've come here, and it's reasonable for the clan to be a little guarded. ”

The patriarch laughed, pointed to a table next to him and said, "Then let's sit down, if there is anything to do, sit down and talk about it." ”

Xiao Rui waited for the patriarch to sit down, and then sat down on his side. The patriarch said in a loud voice, "Come, serve tea to the guests!" After speaking, two dwarves came over and served tea and snacks to the two of them.

The patriarch took a sip of water, and then asked, "Mr. Xiao doesn't know what to do here?"

Xiao Rui said: "There is something to ask for below, and I hope the patriarch can help." Of course, Xiao also has to come up with the corresponding remuneration to thank the nobles. ”

The patriarch's face darkened: "In your eyes, our dwarf clan is a group of cripples, how can we help you! And I heard that the holy beast of our clan seems to have been killed by Mr. Xiao, is this true?"

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this patriarch was still kind and pleasant just now, but this time he suddenly asked about Jiaolong. During the time when he was tracking Song Defei, Xiao Rui also heard a lot about the dwarf clan and knew that the dragon was the totem of the dwarves.

And the first killing he made when he came to this level was to kill a dragon. Although the one in the imperial city did not die in his own hands, it also had a lot to do with himself.

Originally, the dwarves wanted to kill themselves to avenge their holy beasts, but now that they were sent to the door, it is no wonder that people want to turn their faces.

Xiao Rui didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Speaking of this matter, I am really ashamed, I didn't know that Jiaolong was a noble holy beast at the beginning. It's just that he saw that it harmed living beings, so he killed it. Nothing else!"

The patriarch's face became darker and darker: "The old man knows that Mr. Xiao's cultivation is high, and no one in my clan is Mr. Xiao's opponent." But it's not like anyone can come and go when they want to. Since Mr. Xiao is here, let's stay and pay off the debt for my clan's holy beast!"

After saying that, the patriarch's figure suddenly turned in place and disappeared, and Xiao Rui immediately felt a huge energy fluctuation around him.

Xiao Rui didn't move, because he felt that although the energy fluctuation was huge, it didn't seem to attack him. And Xiao Rui didn't plan to do anything with the dwarves, so he still sat there with a calm face.

But that huge energy fluctuation suddenly squeezed towards the middle, and the target was Xiao Rui, who was sitting at the table. Xiao Rui obviously felt that this energy was not emitted by the dwarves, because the people here should not have such strength.

The speed at which the energy squeezed over was extremely fast, and the force was very large, and as soon as Xiao Rui felt it, the table in front of him had been crushed into powder and scattered on the ground. Even the teacups on the table turned to powder and disappeared. (To be continued......)
