Chapter 017: Night Attack on the Black Mist Stone Forest II
"Burst Fire Talisman, enjoy. ”
The Burst Fire Charm instantly exploded through the crowd.
"Oh, my God. ”
"Help!"
A bunch of people were blown apart, their bodies on fire, and they hurriedly rolled on the ground.
"Come again!" Qi Lan threw out another one.
"Get out of the way!" But the crowd was dense, and as soon as someone came into contact, it detonated the Burst Fire Talisman, instantly turning a range of several meters into a large fireball.
"Damn!" said someone viciously.
But many more looked terrified, they had never seen such a method in their lives, they might have heard of it before, but they had never seen it themselves, let alone experienced it themselves. Qi Lan threw out six bursting fire talismans in an instant, and the roar continued, detonating six places, blowing up the bandits on their backs and crushing the army.
"He's a demon! not a man. The lucky man in the distance was frightened and trembled.
"Let's go quickly, or we'll all die here!" Looking at the people struggling and wailing on the ground, the survivors were full of fear, and did not want to be touched by the flames that seemed to come from hell, not only did not save them, but fled in all directions. No matter how much the leader called, no one listened to his orders.
"Damn!" the leader looked cautiously at Qi Lan, there were only two or three loyal men left around him now, but their legs and stomachs were also whirling.
"He's not a demon, he's a rune!" the leader shouted loudly, trying to save morale and people's hearts, but this sentence had the opposite effect, I heard that Qi Lan was a rune, and the remaining people who didn't leave were all defeated at the last of their struggles, and they all broke out, panicking, and some people were swallowed up by the flames around them.
The leader was the only one left. Seeing the tragic situation of his subordinates, he looked at Qi Lan viciously, but he couldn't stop the fear in his heart.
"Hey, what should I do when I run out of charms. Qi Lan pondered. In fact, there are still four Burst Fire Talismans left, but now that they have achieved their purpose, there is no need to use them all.
"What! no," the leader frowned, turning into rage, "Let you see how powerful the old man is." He wanted to kill Qi Lan while he was in a daze, so he caught up with a big knife.
"Lie to you, eat me. Qi Lan pretended to take something out of his arms, which frightened the leader to stop his momentum and keep retreating. "Oh, no. ”
"Damn!" the leader knew that he had been tricked, and the evil was born in guts, and he didn't care about anything, so he rushed straight up.
"You have the ability to blow it up together!" he roared, thinking that as long as he got close to Qi Lan, if Qi Lan made a move, he would be injured along with himself. Driven by such thoughts, his speed was a little faster out of thin air, and he quickly pressed to Qi Lan's side.
"Good chance, watch me cut you down!" he said to himself.
Qi Lan didn't move, as if he was stunned.
"Die!" the broadsword slashed the afterimage in half from top to bottom, "what about people?"
"Behind you. Qi Lan threw a punch into the leader's back, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground.
"You seem to have forgotten that you are no match for me. Qi Lan stood in front of the leader with his hands in his hands and said leisurely.
The leader spat out blood again, this time the injury was not light, Qi Lan's strength after the tattoo was amazing, and ordinary people couldn't stand it at all after eating his punch, the leader had a good foundation and a martial arts foundation, so he didn't completely lose his combat effectiveness.
"I lost, you kill me. He seemed to have lost his fighting spirit, his eyelids were down, and he sat on the ground without standing up.
Qi Lan calmly took two steps towards the other party, came to him, and said condescendingly: "You have done a lot of evil, you are innocent of death, I killed you to defile my hands, follow me to the official mansion." ”
Then Qi Lan turned around and started first, but the leader suddenly got up and attacked when he turned around.
"This knife will kill you in Huangquan!" The leader couldn't help but be overjoyed, and finally seized a good opportunity to have a bloody hatred, and the horizontal knife wanted to split Qi Lan in two.
"Thorns!"
The knife was only a foot away from Qi Lan, but it fell limply and weakly.
The leader looked incredulously at the sharp stab that pierced his chest, tried to say something but didn't say it, and slowly fell to the ground.
Qi Lan shook his head, how could he not be prepared, he had already reserved the ground stab for the other party, this kind of person is cheap to kill the other party.
At this moment, all the bandits who could escape had left, and the fire around them was getting bigger and bigger, how could Qi Lan retreat with his whole body?
"Luckily, I've been prepared, and this fire amulet comes in handy. "He was interested in these auxiliary runes when he was in the treasure hall, and made some, and now he takes out the fire avoidance charms and sticks three in a row on his body, the more the number increases, the weaker the effect, three is enough.
Sure enough, he felt that the heat wave had subsided a lot, and Qi Lan was thinking about which direction to retreat from, but suddenly his eyes looked down and he found something strange.
The black mist of the Black Mist Stone Forest was engulfed by fire, and despite the thick smoke, Qi Lan saw something new appearing in the clearing.
"This is?" There was a thick smoke, Qi Lan carefully identified, some places in the clearing were scorched by the flames, revealing some stripes, which were not obvious before, but now they were very conspicuous, the bandits would not care when they saw these stripes, but Qi Lan was greatly surprised to see them.
"This is a natural rune! Ahem, I can't stay any longer, let's leave first. Relying on the fire avoidance charm and light body charm, Qi Lan escaped from the fire with agility.
By the time the sky was light, the fire had already weakened, and Qi Lan came to the clearing again, this time revealing more and more complete stripes.
The stripes form a large pattern, resembling a strange tortoise-like creature, covering the clearing.
Qi Lan pondered carefully, and felt that there must be a use in this, thinking of the source of the black mist in the Black Mist Stone Forest, he seemed to have something to gain.
"The black mist has healing properties, could it be the effect of this strange rune?" As a novice to runes, it is necessary to carry paper and pen with you, and some people will also bring bottles, cans or strips of cloth to wrap.
By the time he had finished his meticulous trace, it was bright and there were no fires around, only small flames. Once again, the streaks in the clearing faded away, and there was no sign of it.
"There was a bonus to this trip, and it was worth it. ”
Not only did he successfully defeat the bandits and exterminate the leader, but he also unexpectedly gained the unnamed rune. The efficacy of this unnamed rune is unclear, but Qi Lan guesses that it is related to healing.
"If it's a rune, make it into a healing rune, and if it's a tattoo, you can give it to your body, and you can earn it no matter what!"
He happily returned to the place where the lord of the city was temporarily staying, and reported directly to the guards that the bandits had been defeated.
The guards were incredulous, thinking he was having a nightmare.
"You haven't woken up, go back to sleep. He waved his hand and asked Qi Lan to leave. What are you kidding! A nine-year-old kid said that he single-handedly defeated a bloodied thug on the hands of Bailai, and any normal person would not believe it.
"I mean really, hey, how do you believe it?" Qi Lan said urgently.
"I'm busy, don't get in the way of my work. Seeing Qi Lan pestering endlessly, the guards also lost their temper, why is this kid so ignorant, is he frightened by the tragedy in the village? The guard thought to himself.
"I really defeated them and the leader, you send someone to the Black Mist Stone Forest to take a look to see if what I said is true. The guards were indifferent.
"My brother has something to do, and I can't play hide and seek with you. ”
Qi Lan was angry.
"I still look down on people, I'm a novice to runes. He finally came up with the name, hoping to start a role.
The guard looked at him in surprise, "Then you can show it to me." ”
Qi Lan took out a small fire talisman, "Duh!"
The small fireball circled around the guard, so startled that he didn't dare to move, and cold sweat broke out, "It's still true, I'll go and report it." ”
Finally persuaded the guards, Qi Lan went back to greet his grandfather first, and then made up for sleep, he had not slept all night before, he was very tired.
When he woke up, many eyes were on him.
"Lord of the Castle. He glanced at the lord of the horse city dressed in fine clothes.
"Hehe, you're awake. "Lord Ma Cheng is very polite, please Qi Lan to the living room, grandpa and they are also invited to take a seat.
"There was a fire in the Black Mist Stone Forest last night, what do you know from the guards?" he didn't dare to follow what the guards said, after all, he also thought that a nine-year-old boy had nothing to do with the fire.
Qi Lan told the story as it was, omitting only the fragments of the stone patterns.
The Horse City Lord was shocked. Grandparents and Aunt Liu were also shocked.
"This ...... Is this true, I'm not dreaming. He muttered to himself.
Soon the guards came to report and found the bodies of the bandits and the leader, and he was convinced that it had really happened.
"You are really a great hero of our mortal city, haha, a hero is a young man!" the city lord laughed happily.
Qi Lan was embarrassed.
"Where, where. ”
"Oh, at first the guards told me that I didn't believe it yet, but since Little Brother Qi is a rune warrior, then everything can be explained. ”
"It's not a rune, it's just a novice. Qi Lan hurriedly said.
The Lord of Ma City was stunned and continued: "Little Brother Qi is really the hero of our Fan City, Fan City has produced such an amazing character as you, at a young age, brave and strategic, brave and outstanding, and super strength, it is really our luck in Fan City, and the pride of Fan City." ”
"Where, where. ”
The Lord of Ma City said, "I must spread this news widely and let people know that I am a young hero in Fan City." ”
"No, no, no. Qi Lan immediately refused.
At this time, the grandfather spoke, "Lord of the city, I have something to say. ”
"Speak, please. ”
"Xiaolan is still too young to be such a big honor, and besides, if those bandits know who Xiaolan is, I'm afraid it will be bad for him. ”
Lord Ma suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, I should have thought of this, well, then I have to find a way to explain this incident...... How about a rune priest passing by our mortal city, seeing that the bandits are ferocious, and punishing the evil?"
"Good. And they all said yes.
Although Qi Lan's deeds were not widely publicized, and even the guard who knew the inside story was given a gag order, Qi Lan was still greatly rewarded by the Lord of Ma City.
"That's a lot of coins. Aunt Liu opened the small box and froze.
The city lord rewarded Qi Lan with five thousand copper coins and three hundred silver coins, and one silver coin could be exchanged for one hundred copper coins, that is, a total of 35,000 copper coins.
"Not much. Grandpa said, "Xiaolan did such a big thing and reported it to the state capital, and the rewards above were far more than that." ”
I didn't expect grandpa to be quite knowledgeable, Qi Lan said secretly.
"What is this?" Aunt Liu said strangely with a paintbrush.
"I know. Qi Lan smiled, this horse city lord still knew what he needed, and even rewarded him with a pattern pen, he took the pattern pen and watched, "Wow, the material of the pen is Tencel bamboo, and the bristles are silver horsehair, a big deal." "The value of this pen alone is not under that cash box.
