Chapter 40: The Enchantress Messenger
After taking the thousand-year-old feather jacquard, Feng Xiaomo's injuries healed quickly, but it was late at this time, and she had to stay in this cave for one night and leave at dawn. Luo Chen was sitting by the fire roasting fish, and the enchantress was standing on his shoulder, smelling the smell of grilled fish, and her saliva was already flowing on Luo Chen's clothes.
Luo Chen looked back at the enchantress and said with a smile, "Do you really want to eat?"
The Enchantress nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course, I've never smelled such a fragrant fish, hurry up, I can't wait!" The words fell, and it jumped onto Luo Chen's other shoulder.
Luo Chen smiled and said, "Do you want to eat it, bake it yourself, this is not for you..."
Seeing this, Luo Chen had a helpless expression on his face and said, "You stinky bird, be careful that the fish bones are stuck in you!"
At this time, Feng Xiaomo came to his side and sat on the stone, Luo Chen squinted at her, and said, "It was originally for you, but I didn't expect this naughty guy to snatch it away, but it doesn't matter, there are several more here, I'll bake another one for you!"
Feng Xiaomo still had that invincible expression, she didn't talk to Luo Chen, but started by herself. She took a fish from Luo Chen's side, stuck it in a branch, and roasted it.
Seeing this, Luo Chen said with a smile: "It turns out that you want to do it yourself!"
Time passed little by little, the two sat quietly by the fire, no one spoke, such a picture was very harmonious, as if it was frozen, Luo Chen almost forgot that he was grilling fish. However, at this moment, a burning smell came, Luo Chen sniffed slightly, and said, "What is this that has been burned?"
The harmonious picture was broken by a burst of smell, Feng Xiaomo shouted, "My grilled fish..."Luo Chen glanced at the grilled fish in her hand, only to find that the fish had turned black, and even a little spark!
Luo Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "This fish will definitely be delicious to eat, why don't you taste it first?" Feng Xiaomo snorted coldly, threw the grilled fish in his hand into the fire, and then stood up and walked towards the stone bed!
Seeing this, Luo Chen shook his head and followed Feng Xiaomo to the side of the stone bed. He handed his grilled fish to Feng Xiaomo and said, "Here's this for you!"
Feng Xiaomo paused and said, "Take it, who is rare!" She said no, but her stomach had already betrayed her, because at this moment, Feng Xiaomo's stomach was growling.
A smile appeared at the corner of Luo Chen's mouth, and said, "Okay, I'll eat it myself!" The words fell, and Luo Chen wanted to turn around and walk towards the fire. But before he could take a step, Feng Xiaomo said loudly: "Wait...", and then she snatched the grilled fish in Luo Chen's hand.
"A dead duck has a hard mouth..."
It was late at night, Luo Chen sat alone by the fire, unable to sleep, he beat the ground with a burning stick while thinking about the things in Cangming Valley. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart when he thought of Cangming Valley, as if something was going to happen. After a while, he got up from the fire, looked back at Feng Xiaomo sitting on the stone bed, and was already asleep. It was much warmer in the cave than it was outside, but he was still worried that she was freezing, so he went over and helped her to lie down, and then chopped his coat over her, and went back to the fire, after all, he could keep warm with it.
In the early morning of the next day, the two opened their eyes almost at the same time, but at this time, Feng Xiaomo found that he had an extra coat on his body. She got down from the stone bed, came to Luo Chen's side, handed Luo Chen her coat, and said, "Thank you!"
Luo Chen was stunned for a while, then took over his coat and said, "It's okay, your injury should be almost healed, right?"
Feng Xiaomo replied as he walked towards the outside of the cave, "It's fine..."
Seeing this, Luo Chen immediately asked, "Where are you going?" Feng Xiaomo didn't answer him, but gradually disappeared from his field of vision. Luo Chen stood in place and chuckled, thinking that she must be looking for the masked man and retrieving the robbed divine sacrifice.
For this matter, although Luo Chen said that he wanted to help her find it together, he was more than willing to do it, after all, the strength of the masked man was too strong, so Luo Chen decided to return to Cangming Valley first. He looked around the cave and found no sign of the enchantress, so he called out a few times, but there was no response. Luo Chen paused for a while, sighed, and said, "Let's go, let's go, I should go too!" After the words fell, he strode out of the cave.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Luo Chen led the horse and walked in the valley, the cliffs on both sides were extremely steep, and the valley was like a knife. A cold wind blew from the valley, Luo Chen shivered, and said to himself: "This valley is very gloomy, let's hurry through!"
Luo Chen got on his horse and sped forward, but before he could go far, he saw many people lying in the valley in front of him, and when he got closer, he found that they were all corpses. What's more, in addition to these corpses, there are also white bones all over the ground, and Luo Chen is numb when he looks at it. Bypassing the corpses and bones on the ground, Luo Chen saw a stone tablet, on which were clearly engraved with three words - Death Valley.
Luo Chen subconsciously shook the sword in his hand, ready to deal with the crisis at any time, but at this moment, a strange laughter came from the front, spreading back and forth in the valley, and it did not subside.
Although Luo Chen was a little panicked in his heart, he didn't show it, the enemy didn't appear, he couldn't mess up first. Luo Chen was very calm, he sat on the back of the horse and looked around, shouted, and said: "It's a human or a demon, don't pretend to be a ghost in front of the uncle, hurry up and get out of here!"
As soon as Luo Chen's words fell, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in front of him, and when the strong wind passed, Luo Chen saw a group of strangely dressed and ugly people appear in front of him. Luo Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "What kind of monster are you, why are you blocking my way!"
At this time, I saw a short man with an iron fork walking out, looking at Luo Chen and saying, "Are you blind, don't you see that we are all human?"
Luo Chen chuckled lightly and said, "You are also human, hurry up and get out of the way for me, otherwise..."
Before Luo Chen finished speaking, he saw the man suddenly dodge onto the head of another person, and said, "Otherwise, what would happen?"
Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Short ghost? It's a name that really suits you!"
The man shouted, "How dare you laugh at me, do you know what I do?" When you see the dead people on the ground, I did it, and I see that you have fine skin and tender meat, and I will make you a snack tonight to satisfy the hunger of the brothers!"
Luo Chen paused, thinking that the enemy was outnumbered, and if he really made a move, he might not be able to win, so he had to quickly find a way to get rid of these people, so he made a decision, the first strike was stronger.
As soon as the dwarf ghost's words fell, he saw Luo Chen pull out the long sword in his hand, jump up from the horse, and go straight to the dwarf ghost. Although Luo Chen's speed was fast, his swordsmanship only had its shape, and it had no meaning, and the dwarf ghost easily blocked Luo Chen's long sword.
The iron fork and the long sword collided together, making a piercing sound, and the dwarf ghost poked his head to the side and said to Luo Chen: "Boy, dare to sneak attack me with this little ability?"
Luo Chen didn't pay attention to the dwarf ghost's words, but immediately withdrew his sword, turned it into a thorn, and went straight to the dwarf ghost's chest. Although the dwarf ghost was small, his reaction was very fast, and when he saw Luo Chen's sword stabbing at his chest, he immediately volleyed backwards. This time, Luo Chen did not withdraw his sword, but flew forward after the dwarf ghost.
When the dwarf ghost came to the sky above the crowd, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and then he saw him volley up in the air and kick Luo Chen's sword. easily avoided Luo Chen's attack, and at this time, he saw the iron fork in the hand of the dwarf ghost going straight to Luo Chen, and he was about to stab Luo Chen's body, but fortunately, Luo Chen's reaction was fast enough, and he immediately blocked the iron fork with his sword, but this block also made Luo Chen fly out upside down and return to the horse.
The force of the short ghost's blow was not small, and Luo Chen's arm was slightly numb. Luo Chen stood on the back of the horse and paused, he never thought that the strength of this ugly-looking and short-looking person was so much higher than him. Luo Chen took a deep breath, and then put into practice what he had learned in Cangming Valley, even so, it ended in failure, and what was even more unfortunate was that Luo Chen's fast horse was stabbed to death by the dwarf ghost with an iron fork during the fight.
Luo Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and said with a smile: "I, Luo Chen, am not good at learning, and I am planted in the hands of you ugly monsters today, but even if I die here today, I will break your corpse into ten thousand pieces in the next life!"
The dwarf ghost smiled and said, "What a stubborn little doll, you are right, you will indeed die here today, become our brother's appetizer, and when we finish eating your meat, we will take your bones and feed them to the dogs, it is too cruel, how can I be so cruel!"
When the words fell, I saw the dwarf ghost licking his lips while walking towards Luo Chen, just as he was about to stab Luo Chen with an iron fork, there was a roar from above, and everyone looked up after hearing the sound, only to see a big bird flying towards the valley. Seeing this, the elf ghost said, "What is that?"
Luo Chen's face was happy, and he said to the dwarf ghost: "It seems that you don't have to wait for the next life, you ugly monsters will soon be broken into pieces!"
The dwarf ghost seemed to have sensed the crisis, and without any hesitation, the iron fork in his hand stabbed towards Luo Chen. However, at this moment, the big bird came to the top of the dwarf ghost at an astonishing speed, and grabbed the iron fork that stabbed Luo Chen with its claws. The dwarf ghost was like an ant in front of the big bird, small and pitiful, and when he saw that he missed the blow, he was ready to turn around and run away, but how could the big bird give him a chance.
When the dwarf ghost just took a step, he saw the big bird grab it violently and lift it up from the ground, and the dwarf ghost struggled hard, but he could not break free from the big bird's claws. The big bird hissed at the sky, and then tore the dwarf ghost into two knots with all his might, and the others were all frightened when they saw this, and immediately disappeared into the valley.
Luo Chen patted the dirt on his body, looked up at the big bird and said, "Enchantress, why are you here?"
When the words fell, I saw that the big bird suddenly turned into an eagle and stood on Luo Chen's shoulder. The enchantress wiped the blood on Luo Chen's clothes and said, "If I weren't here, you'd be the one lying on the ground now!"
Luo Chen snorted coldly and continued: "When you were in the cave, you didn't say goodbye, because I regarded you as a friend!"
The Enchantress paused, jumped onto the other shoulder of Luochen, and said, "Have you forgotten what I said on the cliff? From now on, I will follow you... By the way, I didn't say goodbye before, but I was going to arrange something, I wanted to arrange things, and then I followed you, but who would have thought that by the time I came back, you would have left, but... But I got something out of it!"
"What's the catch?" Luo Chen asked.
"Are you going to a place called Cangming Valley now?" I heard from my fellow citizens when I came out, and now it seems that a very powerful force is preparing to raid there with the aim of snatching something, and now Cangming Valley is dangerous, are you sure you want to go?" replied the Enchantress.
Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask, "Where did you hear this news?"
The Enchantress looked up at the sky, and saw several eagles hovering over it, and then said, "That's them! Don't worry, this news is absolutely reliable!"
Cangming Valley, that is Luo Chen's second home, now, knowing that his home is in danger, he must hurry back, but the fast horse has been killed by the dwarf ghost. Luo Chen turned his head sideways and looked at the enchantress on his shoulder, and said, "Is it true or false that you just said that you want to follow me?"
The Enchantress replied very firmly: "Of course it's true, the Enchantress doesn't lie!"
"Okay, now you must do me a favor and drive me back to Cangming Valley as quickly as possible, where is my home!" Luo Chen said.
The Enchantress nodded heavily, and then turned into a big bird again, Luo Chen flashed to the back of the Enchantress, and then the Enchantress spread her wings and flew out of the valley and headed east!
