Chapter 165: Thorn Ridge and Hot Air Balloons

"Let's go. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Ares said with a smile as he extinguished the campfire in the camp.

"Okay, let's go. Hua Manlou nodded with a smile in response.

Didrite and Li Shengnan didn't speak, but they naturally didn't have any objections when they were already fully equipped.

After walking for less than half an hour, the four of them came to the foot of a mountain full of green.

"This is the Thorn Ridge!" Ares said, pointing to the thorny mountain not far in front of him.

"It's prickly. Li Shengnan took a closer look and found that there were many small thorns on the tiny-looking vines.

"Be careful!" Ares suddenly shouted.

At the same time, Li Shengnan's brain was full of alarms, and he retreated backwards without hesitation!

"Whew!" After Li Shengnan felt that the intuition that made her vigilant disappear and landed, she was stunned to find that a lot of spiky vines had appeared in the place where she was before. Judging from the dirt on the ground, some of those vines rushed directly into the ground, and some pierced directly from above, and the speed was very fast!

"It's okay, it's okay!" Ares breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Shengnan and said solemnly, "The thorns in this Thorn Ridge are not ordinary plants, they will take the initiative to attack any creature that comes close, and then stab the vines into the body of the creature! Any creature that is stabbed will be stunned in an instant, and then quickly decomposed into bones by the 'corpse eaters' that come out of nowhere!"

"It's like that!" Ares pointed to a dense vine on the side, and Li Shengnan was shocked to see that there were many animal bones inside!

"Hehe, I'm glad you hid quickly!Otherwise I'd have had to apologize to your lord!" Dedewlett laughed gloatingly.

"......" Li Shengnan glanced at her calmly, and then looked at Ares, "You didn't talk about this before. ”

"It's my fault!" Ares nodded without shirking his responsibility, "but I thought you wouldn't act rashly when you arrived in a strange place, but I didn't know you would come closer!"

"......" Li Shengnan did not speak, but stared at the other party coldly.

"Alright, alright, everyone's at fault, forget it. Hua Manlou hurriedly came out to play haha, anyway, Li Shengnan didn't have an accident, so he temporarily resolved this contradiction first.

"But ......." After Hua Manlou finished calming Li Shengnan, he looked at Ares again, "Mr. Ares, there is something I still have to tell you first." ”

"Mr. Flower, please speak. Ares nodded and said with a serious face, "Ares can accept any reasonable criticism!"

"Miss Li is someone my lord attaches great importance to!" Hua Manlou put away his smile and said solemnly, "You may find it difficult to understand my lord's thinking, but that's not the point......! Believe me, my lord will be furious!"

"If my Lord is angry...... I'm sorry then! Not to mention the alliance, it's impossible to even live in peace!"

"Hmph, isn't it possible that your lord wants to attack us?!" Dededrite interjected dissatisfiedly, her face full of anger.

"What will my Lord do, and how...... I don't know!" Hua Manlou turned his head to 'Didlet', "but I think my lord will lead us to where you are!

"Hmph, you can't get through Viper Valley and Thorn Ridge!, besides, you don't know where to go!" Didlet's face changed, and then stubbornly retorted.

"Really?!" Hua Manlou's face regained his smile, but his words became a little cold, "Don't doubt my lord's ability and strength! Don't doubt my lord's determination! Also, this is my warning to you! Believe it or not!"

"We got it!" Ares nodded, solemnly. He is different from Didlet, without the stubbornness of a girl, and naturally he can hear the warning and caution in Hua Manlou's words.

Perhaps before, Ares had doubts about whether Gu Yi and his men would be able to attack where they lived. But after watching the battle between the Orcs and the Howling Heaven, Ares became cautious.

The fierce flames and long-range attack methods opened Ares's eyes! There was no need to look at his face at all, after a rapid fire attack, even the Grand Master could hardly save his life!

Imagine once these weapons were used in Viper Valley and Thorn Ridge...... Ares didn't think that these poisonous snakes and thorns could stop the other party, even if they had the invincible 'poisonous king snake'!

The most important thing is that Ares doesn't think that he has been followed by someone along the way, nor does he think that no one will discover his route! Although the Hua Manlou in front of him can't be seen by his eyes, he doesn't have the slightest sense of danger for Ares, let alone the weaker-looking woman who is stronger than the man! Those cold and straight eyes make Ares reluctant to look at her!

"I'm sorry! I will definitely pay attention to the safety of Mr. Hua and Miss Li in the future!" Ares said with a cautious expression.

"Uncle, hurry up!" Deedriet shouted impatiently. She is not the kind of lady who doesn't know the depths, she knows when she can be rude and when she should be restrained.

The words that were full of flowers before did make her feel a lot of unhappiness in her heart. But she also knows that this is Hua Manlou's warning, and it is also the attitude of the other party!

Dedelet didn't have the ability to terminate the alliance between the Spirit Race and the Dwarf Race with Gu Yi, and it was impossible for him to ignore the interests of the two clans because of the anger in his heart!

It's just that after hearing Hua Manlou's words, there was an inexplicable anger in his heart, and he didn't know how to spread it, so he could only target Ares.

"Alright, alright. Ares smiled, he really didn't care about Dedewlet's anger.

Although the spirit race and the dwarf race did not intermarry at all because of their race, the relationship between the two races was comparable to that of blood relatives!

Since ancient times, the Elves and the Dwarves have forged a blood alliance, similar to sworn brothers with the Terrans!

For tens of thousands of years, the dwarves and spirits have long been inseparable!

Although the two are not related by blood, in terms of generation, Ares is the uncle of Didlet! Although in terms of status, the dwarf race is slightly inferior to the spirit race, but the difference between the two races itself is not large, so there is no difference.

In Ares' eyes, Didriet is his little niece. Some young ladies lost their temper at him, but it was just because they were close to each other! If it were anyone else, Didlet would not pay any attention to it!

"Wait a minute!" Ares smiled at Hua Manlou, then took out a strangely shaped whistle and blew it.

Curiously, the whistle doesn't seem to make much noise. If it weren't for Li Shengnan's observation that the other party was indeed using his strength, I'm afraid he would still think that the other party was pretending.

"......" Hua Manlou still has a smile on his face, but if you are familiar with him, you will find that his fingers are pointing rhythmically, as if looking for some rhythm.

"It's coming!" After a while, Ares pointed ahead, and Li Shengnan followed his finger to look over, only to see that something in the sky not far away was floating towards him.

"This is ......" Li Shengnan's eyes froze, and he forcibly pressed his emotions.

Balloon!?

It's a hot air balloon!

If it was someone else in the Purple Gold Continent, she naturally didn't know about the existence of such a thing as a hot air balloon!, but who called her Gu Yi's person!?

Among Gu Yi's many secret research tools, hot air balloons have always been a top secret that is absolutely secret! This kind of thing that can allow ordinary people to rise thousands of meters into the air is something that even a great grandmaster can't do!

In the secret research of Gu Yi's subordinates, the hot air balloon can fly to an altitude of 6,000 meters and maintain it for about three hours without landing!

Not only that, but the balloons can choose their own direction, throw attack weapons, and have parachutes to escape if the unexpected happens!

Li Shengnan originally thought that only Gu Yi would have such a magical weapon in this world, but he didn't expect that the dwarves and spirit clans also had hot air balloon technology!

However, Li Shengnan didn't show any expression that made Ares and them puzzled, but just showed a surprised expression as usual.

"Giggle~~~~ Are you afraid of being high?!" Didrite looked at Li Shengnan with a playful look and asked, "This is going to rise to a height of three thousand meters!"

"......" Li Shengnan glanced at her lightly and did not speak. But those who are attentive will notice a hint of fear flashing in her eyes...... Of course, this is all shown by Gu Yi to the other party.

"Giggle~~~~" Didrite laughed happily, for the first time she felt like she had defeated this pesky woman!

About a quarter of an hour later, the hot air balloon landed in front of them.

Li Shengnan silently observed the hot air balloon......

Unlike the hot air balloon studied by Gu Yi's subordinates, this hot air balloon is oval-shaped, with something similar to a boat hanging underneath, and a propeller is installed on the back of the boat to move forward.

Looking around, there were no offensive weapons on the ship where the hot air balloon was hoisted, and judging by the fact that the heat provided by the burning of wood, the hot air balloon technology of the dwarves and spirits was far inferior to those of his brother Yi.

Although in order to avoid being discovered, Li Shengnan did not get close to observe what material the cover made of the hot air balloon was, judging from the appearance, it should be a kind of animal skin with excellent ductility spliced together, with average sealing, and perhaps flammable.

The rope that pulls the boat below is very good, not as thick as the elephant of Li Shengnan, but the toughness seems to be extremely good, and I don't know what material it is.

In the end, Li Shengnan made a judgment in his heart: this hot air balloon has a unique place, but it is still a lot behind the kind of hot air balloon with the diversity of functions studied by his brother Yi! )
