Chapter 42: Loser!

Luo Ran thought that he had to look for it in the valley by feeling. He shouted while maintaining his senses as he made markers along the way. But after two hours, not only did he find nothing, but he also found that he had been making a U-turn.

"Damn it!" Luo Ran gritted his teeth, a little anxious in his heart. Zhou Xing said that there is not only fog here, but also a poisonous barrier. If Mina and Xiaobai enter by mistake

"How can I get rid of the fog?" Luo Ran thought.

"That's right!" Luo Ran suddenly said, "I don't know if the magic ball works!" ”

Thinking of this, Luo Ran quickly raised his hand and let go of the magic ball. He bent his fingers and threw a wisp of magic ball to the ground. Sure enough, as soon as the magic ball that could burn black gas outside the sealing boundary fell, a large area without fog appeared around it.

Luo Ran was overjoyed. As he walked forward, he shot wisps of magic balls to dispel the white mist.

Where Luo Ran passed, there was a wisp of magic ball, and there was no white mist in the area where there was this magic ball. Soon, there was no fog in large areas.

"Huh?"

Luo Ran was walking when he suddenly heard a voice in front of him. He was so happy that he threw a few magic balls forward to dispel the white mist. Eventually, he discovers that the source of the sound is Xiaobai. At this time, her face was full of tears, and her spirit seemed to be in a trance. Even when she stood in front of Luo Ran, she didn't know that she had walked out of the white mist.

"Xiaobai?" Luo Ran asked tentatively.

Xiaobai trembled when he heard this. She looked up at Luo Ran. Her eyes were full of doubt. She muttered, "Is this a hallucination? I saw Luo Ran. ”

Luo Ran's heart twitched, and he hurriedly said, "This is not an illusion!" Xiaobai, it's me, I'm here to save you! ”

Luo Ran ...... Come to save me? Xiaobai's eyes gradually lit up. She glanced at Luo Ran again, suddenly saved him, and then couldn't stop her tears.

"Luo Ran! I thought I'd never see you again! Xiao Bai hugged Luo Ran tightly, as if he wanted to fully integrate into each other's bodies.

"It's okay, it's okay." Luo Ran patted Xiaobai's shoulder.

When Xiaobai calmed down a little, Luo Ran asked, "Have you seen Mina?" ”

"Lady Mina? She's here too? Xiaobai was surprised, then shook his head and said, "I didn't see him." I've always been a human being. ”

Luo Ran sighed in his heart, he had to hurry to find Mina. Luckily, with the magic ball, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone.

So, Luo Ran and Xiaobai began to look for Mina together. While watching, Luo Ran also learned about the situation from Xiaobai.

It turned out that Xiaobai was deceived out of the city as Luo Ran, and was then besieged by three masters. He was then captured and thrown into the Valley of the Crescent.

Luo Ran estimated that Mina would encounter a similar situation.

But now, half an hour later, Luo Ran illuminated almost half of the Crescent Moon Valley with a magic orb, but there was still no trace of Mina.

"Lady Mina won't go into the depths of Crescent Valley, will she?" Xiao Bai was worried, "The poison barrier in the depths of the Crescent Valley is very strong. If you get it, you will never survive! ”

Luo Ran felt heavy when he heard this, but he didn't give up until he found Mina.

Luo Ran and Xiao Bai marched into the depths of the Crescent Moon Valley and finally found a cave in one place.

"Miss Mina isn't in this hole, is she?" Xiaobai said.

When Luo Ran heard this, he threw a magic ball into the cave, and the white mist in the cave immediately dissipated.

He protected Xiaobai behind him, and the two slowly walked to the depths of the cave.

As the cave deepened, Luo Ran heard a sound, but it didn't seem to be made by a person, but some kind of snoring.

"You're waiting for me here." Luo Ran didn't dare to let Xiaobai follow him anymore. He was afraid of the danger inside, but Xiaobai didn't listen. He had to go in with Luo Ran. However, Luo Ran had to take it with him.

They got closer and closer to the snoring, reaching the bottom of the cave.

Luo Ran threw out a magic ball to dispel the mist at the bottom of the cave, and finally revealed the source of the snoring.

It's a giant vampire!

The toad was snoring with its back up, its belly exposed, and when it gasped, white mist came out of its mouth.

Luo Ran suddenly realized that the mist in the entire Crescent Moon Valley was made by this toad.

"Is this a thousand robot vampires?" Xiaobai shouted softly.

"You know what?" Luo Ran looked at Xiaobai.

The latter nodded slightly, and then did not confirm: "I don't know." Do you still remember the book Luo Ting wanted to read when they first met? There is information about vampire monsters in the book. The book says that vampires are rare monsters that can create a thick fog to hide themselves and confuse their opponents. But the book says that vampires are about the same size as a normal frog, but this one ...... It's too big. ”

Luo Ran frowned. He rounded the big vampire and found several pairs of human bones in the corner. He said it wasn't good. Did Mina get eaten by the big vampire?

"Goo!"

The vampire suddenly made a strange noise. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Luo Ran and Xiaobai. Then the frog screamed angrily and jumped up to separate from Luo Ran. Then he opened his mouth and spit out a long tongue at Luo Ran.

"Stand back!" Luo Ran pushed Xiaobai into the distance. He was looking for an opportunity and held his long tongue firmly in his hand.

The toad made a strange cry and was about to withdraw its tongue, but the tongue was in Luo Ran's hand. No matter how hard he tried, the big hand with the long tongue remained motionless.

"Get up!" Luo Ran suddenly rushed out, grabbed his long tongue, threw the vampire out, and smashed a large hole in the cave wall.

The vampire jumped out, grunting louder and louder. His body first swelled and then contracted. The numb balls of flesh on his skin cracked, spitting out a purple mist.

"No!" Luo Ran was stunned. He knew that the fog must be poisonous just by looking at its color. He took a big step back.

However, something unexpected happened. As soon as the purple mist came out, it floated up, gradually faded, and then disappeared completely. The situation left the vampires dumbfounded, and their killer feature actually lost its effect.

Luo Ran was also stunned, but he quickly realized that it was a magic ball on the ground. The magic ball can not only dispel the white mist, but also dissolve the purple mist.

Seeing that the vampire had no choice, Luo Ran also let go and attacked the former.

Vampires are not only able to spray poisonous mist, but they also have toxins on their bodies. So Luo Ran wrapped the magic ball on his hand and other exposed parts, so he was not afraid of the poison of vampires.

All of the vampires' means are bound by the magic orb, so they have no fighting power. After a few rounds, they were killed by Luo Ran.

After the vampire died, Luo Ran quickly pulled out the knife and shattered the vampire's stomach. It's empty inside. It is clear that Mina was not poisoned by it.

Luo Ran hurriedly absorbed the vampire and obtained a skill called "Cloth Mist", which should be White Mist. Luo Ran didn't have time to experiment. He quickly took Xiaobai to the deeper Crescent Valley.

Due to the death of the vampire, the white fog outside gradually dissipated. Luo Ran came all the way to the depths of the Crescent Valley. The deep crescent moon valley is shrouded in purple mist, which looks like a vampire's tactic.

Luo Ran tried to pop a magic ball. The purple mist is also afraid of the magic orb. Luo Ran breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the purple mist with Xiaobai.

Not far away, Luo Ran found a corpse lying on the ground in front of him. His heart raced and he ran towards the corpse.

"Is that Miss Mina?" Xiaobai also followed nervously.

Luo Ran approached and saw the face of the corpse. He breathed a sigh of relief. Not Mina.

"It seems that the others have strayed into the Crescent Valley," Luo Ran said.

The two men continued to walk forward and saw many corpses, which had not yet decomposed. It seems that the poison barrier cannot but be strong and not corrode the flesh.

The area of the poison barrier in the Crescent Valley is not large. Luo Ran and Xiaobai quickly searched around. Although many bodies were found, none belonged to Mina.

"Did Lady Mina get out of Crescent Valley on her own?" Xiaobai wondered.

Luo Ran pondered, although the white mist in Crescent Valley would confuse people's perceptions, it was not impossible to stumble out of the door by mistake.

The two of them searched the valley again in detail, and after making sure that there was no one, they decided to go back and have a look.

At the same time, many murders took place outside the town.

The 100,000 soldiers under the command of Fang Chao of the 1st Corps and the 200,000 soldiers of Louis' 2nd Corps gathered outside the town and surrounded it.

Lao Zhang stood on the wall of the town's border city, and Descartes protected him. In the distance, Zhou Xing and others were waiting for him.

Although the number of people on Lao Zhang's side is quite large at present, Deqi's 50,000 army and Zhou Xing's 100,000 army have a total of 150,000 troops, but they are only half of the opponent's army. This battle must have been very difficult.

"Yunzhao child! Come out and die! Fang Chao was very excited at the moment. He sat on the hill and pointed at Lao Zhang and shouted.

A group of soldiers under Fang Chao also shouted loudly.

"Duke, go back first." Descartes said, "I'll take care of all this stuff." ”

"It's okay." Lao Zhang waved his hand. He was very calm and said with a smile: "Fang Chao finally couldn't help it, how can I rest assured without watching him lose?" ”

Descartes looked at Lao Zhang and wondered why the other party was so sure in the face of the disparity in strength. He was very heavy at the time. Xiaobai has been missing for nearly two days. Although Luo Ran went to save him, the Crescent Moon Valley was one of the eight forbidden areas of the Earth Continent, and it would definitely not be so easy.

"Yunzhao child!" Fang Chao shouted again, "This time you can see that our 300,000 troops are a winning game against your 150,000 troops!" If you sympathize with the people in the city, you will take the initiative to open the city and surrender! I'll save your life! ”

"Fang Chao's boss!" Lao Zhang shouted back, "I've always been very good to you, how can you resist me?" ”

"Humph!" Fang Chao sneered: "Can you be worthy of Lao Zhang?" Our 1st and 2nd regiments have been guarding Jiangnan. You're just enjoying the benefits of fishing! And, have you forgotten how I was abandoned? ”

Speaking of this, Fang Chao gritted his teeth: "Today, that bastard Luo Ran entered the Crescent Moon Valley, this is a deal for him, otherwise I will break him to pieces!" ”

"Don't be shy!" Robert couldn't help but say, "If the boss is here, how dare you cause an accident?" ”

Fang Chao smiled proudly and said, "Why don't you dare?" I'm not convinced. Do you want Luo Ran to appear in front of me now? ”

"You!"

Robert also wanted to say that he was stopped by Lao Zhang, but he still remained calm and said at this moment: "I will give you one last chance to bring your men back to the First Corps." I'll forget! ”

"Hahaha!" Fang Chao immediately smiled when he heard this: "Let the past pass, right?" Did I hear me right? Now you're the turtle in the urn, and you want me to retire? Dream on! Since you're stubborn, don't blame me! ”

Fang Chao looked cruel, raised his hand and said, "Listen to your orders!" In...... Yes! ”

Fang Chao suddenly felt a chill in his chest. He looked down and saw the tip of a sword exposed to his chest. He turned his head with great effort and looked at Louis, the owner of the sword.

"You!" Fang Chao was surprised. He didn't expect Louis to attack him. He couldn't understand it.

"Fang Chao, for the sake of my wealth and honor, I have to sacrifice you." Louis said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You ......" Fang Chao pointed at Louis and wanted to say something more, but saw Louis pull out his sword and swing it vigorously again. Fang Chao's head and body separated.

"Fang Chao's boss is dead!" When Fang Chao, a soldier of the First Corps, saw this scene, he couldn't help but panic, and the soldiers of the Second Corps who were ambushed beside them immediately stepped forward to arrest him.

"Louie! You have betrayed Fang Chao's leader! Yechuang was controlled by the two experts of the Second Corps beside him, and could only shout at Louie.

Louis ignored Ye Chuang, grabbed Fang Chao's head with his hand, and said loudly: "Fang Chao planned to conspire, and now I have shown it to the public!" Who dares to be stubborn anymore! Kill me! ”

"This ......" on the city walls, Descartes and Robert were equally surprised. Surprisingly, things are moving in this direction. Only Lao Zhang calmly watched what was happening below the city.

This conspiracy farce intensified, but in the end it ended abruptly. Lao Zhang announced that Louis had wanted the royal family for a long time and was Fang Chao's undercover agent. People and dignitaries in the city praised Lao Zhang's strategy.

That night, the palace held a banquet to celebrate the defeat of Fang Chao's rebellion.

Lao Zhang was very happy. He finally regained the military power of the Frontier Army.

At the banquet, Lao Zhang praised his merits and rewarded them. Deschi Robert and others contributed to the preservation of the city. Of course, it is necessary to reward. Lao Zhang ordered Deqi to be the captain of the First Corps, and also appointed Robert as the captain of the Corps. The other 150,000 soldiers were promoted to first class. The biggest reward was Luis, who killed the key figure Fang Chao in one fell swoop and was awarded the title of leader.

The title of "Big Brother" is not a military rank, but it is more important than a military rank. Since the beginning of history, only two people in Gangnam have received this honor, Louis is the third.

At a banquet, both the guest and the host should be pleased, but Descartes was not happy. He stood up and said, "Since Louis is the Duke's sister, then my sister ......"

Robert also looked at Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang put down his wine glass and did not speak. Louis opened his mouth. He said to himself, "Boss Dexi, I should be blamed for this matter." I didn't expect Fang Chao to use this method. By the time he told me about the plan, he had already sent someone to the Crescent Valley. I just wanted to stop it, but couldn't stop it. ”

"Alas!" Lao Zhang also sighed, "I also made a mistake. I misjudged Fang Chao's ruthlessness, which put Mina and Xiaobai in danger, and then lost Boss Luo Ran. ”

"Duke." Robert stood up and said, "I want to report this to the Duke." I want to take someone to the Crescent Valley to meet Lord Luo Ran. ”

"You are loyal to Lord Luo Ran, I shouldn't refuse." Lao Zhang immediately changed his voice and said, "It's just that Fang Chao has just been executed, and the people of the First Corps must be unstable. This is not the case at this point! ”

Robert was a little reluctant to say anything, but he heard a voice from outside the hall:

"No need to answer, I'm back!"

The voice was neither loud nor small, and the tone was flat, but it made Lao Zhang and Louie pale at the same time.

Robert smiled and shouted, "Boss! ”

Three men came in from outside the hall. It's Luo Ran, Xiaobai, and Mina.

Among the three, Luo Ran's expression was flat, Xiaobai's face was angry, and Mina's eyes were stained with tears.

"Xiaobai!" Descartes rushed to Xiaobai and said happily: "Great! You're okay! ”

"Brother!"

The brother and sister hugged each other and cried with joy.

"Boss!" Robert came to Luo Ran's side, and Luo Ran interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Uh...... It's Luo Ran's boss! Hurry up, please be seated! Lao Zhang said with a smile.

"No," Luo Ran said lightly.

Lao Zhang's face froze, and he said to the bodyguards and other humanitarians around him: "You all go out first, I want to say a few words to Lord Luo Ran." ”

Everyone also felt that the atmosphere was not right, and they got up to leave.

Louis also took the opportunity to get up, but heard Luo Ran say, "You stay." ”

Louis listened and sat down.

At this time, there were only seven people left in the hall: Luo Ran, Lao Zhang, Xiaobai, Dickie, Mina, Louis, and Robert.

"Brother!" Mina took the lead and said angrily with tears in her eyes, "Why did you do this? ”

"I ......" Lao Zhang sighed heavily and said, "I was also forced!" ”

"You have to be forced." Luo Ran smiled and said, "Do I still want to force the duke?" ”

"Luo Ran, what's wrong? Why are you talking to the Duke like that? Descartes, who was standing next to him, was confused.

"Brother." Xiaobai tugged at the corner of Deqi's clothes and motioned for him not to speak.

"Alas!" Lao Zhang looked at the situation in the audience, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's my fault, it's my madness, it's my greed for all my power, it's that I want to be a mean-hearted gentleman!" ”

Then, Lao Zhang told the truth of everything. It turned out that after Luo Ran killed the seven-stage monster, Louis had the idea of obeying Lao Zhang. Since then, Fang Chao is no longer a threat. Zhang Zhi, who solved the big problem, was complacent, but was reminded by Louis that Luo Ran was invincible. If he wants to reverse, no one can stop him.

After Lao Zhang heard this, he also began to mutter. Although he also knew that Luo Ran shouldn't do that, and Mina, Lao Zhang still didn't want to fall into the uncertain factor, because he knew the face, but not the heart. Therefore, he and Louie devised the strategy of "killing two birds with one stone", tricking Luo Ran into Crescent Moon Valley, and then solving Fang Chao by the way.
