【Eagle Soul Castle・East Gate】

A vast procession of adventurers began to leave Eagle Soul City.

"Don't you think it's a bit ...... Is it strange?" Wu Sheng asked.

"What??Wu Sheng, is it the first time to participate in such a large-scale mission?haha...... Me too. "In other words, how come there is not even a beautiful beauty in this army of hundreds of people." ”

Tianxi asked, "Wu Sheng, what do you think is strange about this mission?"

"We are escorting the prince, and we are not going to war, why do we need so many people?" Wu Sheng said.

"The Phoenix Kingdom is at war with the Gem Country, and the Empress will not be a hostage for her son, so of course she will send a little more people. He nodded as a matter of course.

"But, do you remember? The leaflet clearly states that there are no requirements for applicants, and if you really want your son to be safe, you should find some people with strong abilities, not our powerful 'big water army'. This is also the first time you have participated in an S-class mission. Wu Sheng said.

"It should be a difficult and dangerous road, and the empress is afraid that when we arrive in the Phoenix Kingdom, there will be fewer people, so we need to find more people. Tianxi thought thoughtfully, "But why doesn't the empress directly recruit people in the Phoenix Country, but run to our Eagle Soul City......"

The bearded man next to Wu Sheng couldn't help but interject, "The Phoenix Kingdom is full of weak women and sissies of the demon clan, and the empress must be the masculine man who likes our demon clan." ”

Tianxi glanced at the man, "The personnel of Eagle Soul City are complicated, not all of them are demons, like me and Wu Sheng are human beings. The green-haired one next to him is from the Orcs. ”

"Chic is an orc, I don't even know. Wu Sheng said in surprise.

The bearded man said unhappily: "You little ghosts are relatively weak, you are still the weakest race - human beings, it seems that you can only be cannon fodder, I really don't understand what you don't want to think of little ghosts." ”

"Aside from your racism, although we humans are relatively weak in the use of magic, you can see that most of this world is human, and our ability to survive ......"

Before Tianxi finished speaking, the bearded uncle coughed twice, his face was a little red, "This is because you humans have a relatively strong reproductive ability." ”

Wu Sheng muttered in a low voice: "Why blush, a bearded man still blushes, it's really shameless!"

......

This adventurous army, more than a few hundred people, but only one leader, no other managers, everyone followed the leader to stop and go, and no one asked the leader why.

"I heard that there are people participating in both EAT and OOF, maybe I will be favored by them if I perform better!" Wu Sheng said to himself.

Shortly after leaving the city, the army of adventurers passed through several small villages and came to a withered yellow forest.

The leader of the team held a loudspeaker and shouted: "The front is a dead forest managed by the Spirit Clan, there are poisonous substances everywhere, everyone release magic to wrap yourself, it will take about two hours to pass through this forest, please leave the team by yourself if you can't hold on for that long." ”

The crowd began to get noisy, and a few weak-looking people walked back with their heads hung down.

"Tianxi, can you hold out for two hours?" Wu Sheng asked a little embarrassed.

"Of course, that's a small thing. Tianxi said.

"Then you can help me by the way......"

"Hold my hand. ”

Tianxi took out a philosopher's stone from his bag, holding the philosopher's stone in one hand and holding Wu Sheng in the other.

"For most people, it is much more difficult to absorb magic from the Philosopher's Stone than to release magic by yourself, Tianxi, you look relaxed, could it be that you are deliberately hiding your strength?"

"I'm an ordinary person with very little magic on me, and I rely on absorbing the magic of the Philosopher's Stone. It's the first time I've heard of someone who uses magic to release magic!I'm so special, maybe I'm the main character!" Tianxi muttered to himself.

"I'm the protagonist, and the protagonist is all about being handsome. Chic said.

"My experience is more like the protagonist!" Wu Sheng complained in his heart.

Not long after entering the forest, suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone stopped.

Tianxi, Wu Shenghe and Xiao Sao surrounded him, and saw a man rolling on the ground in pain, calling for help, but no one dared to touch him, and finally he stopped struggling and turned into a small patch of withered yellow in the forest.

"It's scary. Wu Sheng's face turned a little pale, "Tianxi, don't let me go!" I will treat you to delicious food in the future, we are best friends, life and death go hand in hand, we don't want to be born on the same day and the same year, only to die on the same day and the same year, ah, ......."

"I know, coward. ”

The more Wu Sheng spoke, the more he was stared at.

The crowd bypassed the withered yellow corpse and moved on.

Soon after, there was another commotion in front, and another heart-rending cry for help!

"The weak should quit as soon as possible, wasting time. Other adventurers complained.

"It's locusts!" a man suddenly shouted, "There are poisonous locusts here!"

"How is it possible, according to the information, there are no living creatures here. Wu Sheng's eyes widened in horror.

A swarm of locusts, like a dark cloud, swooped down on the crowd.

Everyone resisted with various spells, but some people were still touched by locusts, and the entire army of adventurers was disorganized, and there was a wail.

"Use fire! they're afraid of fire!" shouted one of the adventurers.

Gradually, magical flames of various colors burned around the army of adventurers, and the locusts dispersed, and everyone fell silent, except for a few sad cries.

"Weren't you afraid just now?" asked Tianxi in dashing, because in dashing's eyes, Tianxi is the kind of person who will snot and tears at every turn.

"How could I be afraid, I'm ......"

"But your palms are sweaty. Wu Sheng interrupted Tianxi.

Due to the incident just now, everyone consumed a lot of magic and dragged on a lot of time. At the last moment, some people didn't have enough mana, but with the help of everyone, they all passed through the dead forest without any problems.

It was already evening after passing through the dead forest, and everyone stopped in a forest to rest.

Late at night, the army of adventurers had fallen asleep, and Shen Mo had been staring at the moon in a daze.

The moon in the forest is particularly bright, and although it does not illuminate every dark place, it can give the whole forest a wonderful light veil.

"What kind of monster are you?" a man with bandages all over his body walked behind Shen Mo, "I saw you touched by locusts. ”

"I want to ask you that question too. Shen Mo didn't look at the bandage man, "I was so badly injured seven days ago, not only did I not die, but I can be lively so quickly." ”

"We dragons are already more durable. ”

"But you're the most durable of all the dragons I've ever seen, so ......"

"Die, I won't be your subordinate, you're too weak. ”

"What do you think is strong?"

The bandage man walked in front of Shen Mo, he looked as tall as Shen Mo, Shen Mo knew, the bandage man was a woman, the appearance, height and voice of the bandage man were about the same as the man, but, as we all know, the girls of the dragon clan are not obvious in their secondary sexual characteristics before they are minors, and if they want to deliberately hide their gender, it is difficult for ordinary people to find out.

"To be strong is to have the ability to make others absolutely obedient. The bandage man looked directly into Shen Mo's eyes.

"Are you strong, and where are the people who obey you?" asked Shen Mo.

The bandage man lowered his head and was silent for a while, "It's that I'm not strong enough, but I'll take back everything from me!"

"It may not be your ability to take back your things, but what others think. Shen Mo's voice was as calm as water.

The bandage man was a little angry, "You investigated me?"

"No," Shen Mo shook his head, "you said it in your dreams." ”
