Volume II, Chapter 117
Luo Qingyun watched Chen Fan drink the entire bowl of medicine in a big gulp, clapped his palms, and said with a smile: "This is obedient!"
Chen Fan covered his belly that kept "cooing" and wailing, and muttered to himself: "Why do I feel like I have a feeling of turning over the river and the sea in my stomach?"
Luo Qingyun looked at the empty bowl where the medicine was drunk, and explained with a smile: "This is a normal reaction!"
Chen Fan said: "The word 'normal' is not convincing at all when it comes out of your mouth. ”
Luo Qingyun smiled and said, "Okay, since the medicine has been drunk, then let me talk about the purpose of coming to you this time." ”
"Looking for me?"
"Let's go to the conference room on the fifth floor first!" Luo Qingyun added, "The elders are already waiting there. ”
"What the hell is going on, why do you have to attend?" Chen Fan asked curiously, because in his opinion, it must be impossible for these bigwigs to have their own part in the meeting.
"You'll know when you go, let's go, don't make others wait too long. Luo Qingyun said impatiently as he led the way.
Chen Fan, Luo Qingyun and Yue Wuya came to the conference room on the fifth floor together, the conference room was not big, only about 20 square meters, and there was no decoration here, but there were portraits of the patriarchs of the past dynasties hanging on the wall. Sixteen wooden chairs were placed against the wall, centering on the center of the room, forming a circle, and on each of the thirteen chairs sat a member of the Montessori clan, among whom sat Rose on the east side.
Rhodes stepped forward to greet the three of them: "You guys are finally here." ”
The three of them sat down on the three empty chairs on the west side under the leadership of Rod, and then Rhodes said loudly, "Now that everyone is here, let's start our meeting." ”
"Wait a minute!" Chen Fan said, "I don't know much about the content of the meeting. ”
"Oh?" Rod asked curiously, "Didn't Miss Luo tell you?"
Chen Fan shook his head.
"It doesn't matter if that's the case!" said Rode, "actually. It's a farewell party, right? ”
"Farewell party?" Chen Fan was puzzled: "Who is leaving?"
Luo Qingyun rolled his eyes and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's us!"
"What?" Chen Fan exclaimed, "My wound has just healed, and I'm going to leave so soon?"
"I discussed it with Wuya, we've been here for more than a week, and it's too late for us to leave now. ”
Kra glanced at Luo Qingyun. Said directly: "To be honest, you are the benefactors of our Meng clan, if you are willing to live here for a long time, we will not mind, we are very happy to have a super martial artist like you join us." Although I don't know if Miss Luo has anything important to do, but if Miss Luo insists on leaving. We're too embarrassed to stay. ”
Chen Fan nodded when he heard this, and just wanted to speak, when a soldier rushed into the conference room with a wounded man on his back and a panicked expression.
The crowd was frightened by the sudden turn of events, and Kra saw the soldiers faltering. He immediately rushed over and asked, "What's the matter with this soldier, why is he so badly injured?"
The soldier put the wounded man down, saluted Kra, and said, "General Kra, I am Dahl, the captain of the patrol outside the city, and this wounded man is one of the members of the forest reconnaissance team, just now he fainted outside the city alone, and then was found by my siblings, so I took him to Princess Rose for rescue." ”
Rod turned to Rose and said, "Okay." Rose, let's get ready to save people first!"
Rose nodded, and walked over to the soldier. Drawing a pattern of overlapping sun, moon, and stars on the soldier's chest with blood, and then pressing his hand on the soldier's chest, the crescent-shaped pattern began to glow softly silver, and then, the silver light slowly extended to the soldier's body, and then gradually disappeared.
"Ahem......" the soldier coughed twice. Finally woke up.
Rod nervously asked, "Brother, what happened, and why did you get hurt like this?"
"Ahh......h Help me...... Help!ah......hh But his mind was still confused, and his eyes widened. As if he saw a demon and a monster, he shouted for help, and then grabbed the ground with his fingernails, and crawled backwards quickly, he didn't care if his nails were bleeding, he kept crawling backwards, shrinking in the corner like a frightened animal, and kept waving his hands in the direction of everyone, still shouting: "Don't come, don't come......"
"What's going on?" said Kra, who was very suspicious, and asked the patrol leader, "Why did he become like this?"
"General Hui, I don't know about this villain, because he had already fainted when he found him. ”
Rhodes immediately asked, "Then have you seen any of the other forest exploration brothers?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "Returning to the patriarch, we only found him, and we didn't find anyone else. ”
Carat wondered, "What the hell is going on?"
"Rose!" Rhodes said, pointing to the deranged soldier, "Can you use mind reading to read this soldier's mind and find some useful information?"
Rose shook her head and said, "No, because this soldier is not conscious, even if I use mind reading, I can only see most of the illusions he has created, and besides, his mind is very fragile now, if you forcibly join my power, I am afraid that it will destroy his spirit." ”
"Is there really no way around it now?"
"So what should we do?"
"Are they coming to take revenge?"
"No matter what they come, we won't give in anymore. ”
Others were talking about it.
"Rod, I see that this soldier is delirious, and even if he asks, he can't ask anything. Goode said, "Why don't I take a team of people to the field first, and maybe I can find some clues." ”
Rod groaned for a moment and said, "Okay, then Goode is bothering you, be careful." ”
Goode received Rod's instructions, nodded, and pulled the delirious soldier out of the door.
"Lord Rod!" said Manfang, "he's a member of the Forest Scouting Team, since that's the case. Could it be that something will happen to Mira Forest?"
"Mira Forest!" everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard it.
"This can't be, is it?" said Rod, "We just killed the beasts in the forest the week before, and it's only been two weeks, how could they have come so soon?"
Chen Fan interjected on the side: "It's not impossible!"
Hearing Chen Fan's words, everyone looked at Chen Fan in unison.
"I spent one night with Yue Wuya pretending to be a member of the Difu Sect to infiltrate the money in the city. Once fought some sea monsters that walked on two feet. ”
"Walking on two feet?"
"That's right!" Yue Wuya accosted, "Those guys look like prehistoric creatures, dinosaurs. ”
"Mia Monster?" the crowd immediately let out a burst of exclamation.
"What is Mia's Demonic Beast?" Chen Fan asked puzzled.
Man Fang explained for Chen Fan: "Mia Monster is a kind of sea monster that lives in groups, many years ago, due to their ferocity and extreme numbers, they suppressed other sea beasts and became the master of Mira Forest, seventy years ago. Their king leads thousands of Mia monsters to attack our city. ”
"At that time, Rhodes' grandfather, Lord Rocker, led us to resist with all our might, and the battle ended in our victory, but we also paid a heavy price, not only more than half of the Montessori were killed or wounded. Even Lord Rokel was killed in battle with the king of Mia's monsters. ”
"What!" Rod said in surprise, "I only know that my grandfather died in battle to protect the city, but I don't know about Mia's monsters." ”
"Because it was so tragic at that time, everyone didn't want to talk about it. Manfang continued: "Because the Mia Demon Beasts who lost their king were forced back to the forest, and later, I heard that they were killed and tortured by other sea beasts after returning to the forest, and now it is believed that they are extinct. ”
Chen Fan suddenly realized: "Because you heard them appear again now, that's why you are so surprised?"
"Exactly!"
"But what's so strange about seeing one or two still alive?" Chen Fan said, "This may have nothing to do with this matter, right?"
"I hope so!" replied Manfang worriedly.
"Anyway, let's investigate this matter now!" Rod ordered, "General Kra." I hope you can take a team of people to step up patrols outside the city!"
"The subordinates receive the order. ”
"Elders, please manage the people in the city. ”
"Understood!"
"Okay, you guys go back first!"
"Yes!" everyone walked out of the conference room.
Luo Qingyun asked, "Then Rod." What about us leaving?"
"I hope you don't rush this yet. Rod persuaded: "Although you are all skilled warriors, but you are going to the Mira Forest, the situation in the forest is indeed not stable now, I am worried that you will be surrounded and suppressed by sea beasts after entering the forest, so I hope you will stay here for a few more days." ”
"Miss Luo, it makes sense to say that!" Yue Wuya added, "Brother Chen and I are both martial artists. But the so-called good hands are hard to beat with two fists, if they encounter encirclement and suppression. We don't know what to do. Moreover, Brother Chen's injuries have not yet healed, and it is not wise to leave now. ”
Luo Qingyun groaned. What Rod said is indeed reasonable, now is the active period of the monster, if his few people rush in, they may really be surrounded and suppressed, and at that time, even if Chen Fan's strength has been fully recovered, it is inevitable that there will be a certain danger.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyun said: "Okay, let's stay here for a few more days, and then make a decision after this matter is clarified." ”
Rhodes was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Miss Luo, thank you very much for your understanding. ”
"No!" Luo Qingyun immediately interjected: "I'm going to trouble you here again, it's just that we're sorry." ”
Rod laughed and said, "Hehe, you guys are too polite!"
Luo Qingyun waved his hand and said, "If the patriarch has nothing else to do, let's leave first." ”
"Don't send it!"
Walking on the corridor on the fifth floor, Rose suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Fan and suggested, "Brother Chen Fan, you don't seem to have visited our city yet, right?
