In the dense woods at the foot of the Imperial City Dome Mountain, the red maple leaves all over the sky are falling leisurely from the air like falling snow.
A taxi suddenly stopped on the side of the road.
The car door opens——
Xue Yun led the bald man out of the carriage, looked up at the pleasant scenery not far away, and couldn't help but feel relaxed physically and mentally.
“The scenery is pretty good...”
The bald man looked around, raised his eyebrows and asked, "But then again, what are we here for, an outing or a picnic?"
I paid the fare and watched the taxi leave.
Looking back at the dense woods, Xue Yun did not respond to the bald man's inquiry. Instead, he stopped Wang Defa, who wanted to continue following, and ordered: "You stay here for now, I can go in alone."
He threw a communicator to the bald man with his backhand.
Xue Yun tapped the headset of the same style next to his ear and reminded in a deep voice: "If there is any emergency, please contact me immediately using the communicator. Do not act without authorization. Do you understand?"
Rolled his eyes.
Wang Defa folded his hands in resignation and simply found a broken tree stump nearby and sat down.
Everything was explained.
Xue Yun no longer delayed, turned around and walked into the dense woods alone.
Walking along the winding path, Xue Yun followed his memory and wandered through the woods in the growing autumn mood.
A slightly cool autumn breeze blew gently.
Almost immediately, the surrounding treetops were swaying, and an inexplicable rustling sound suddenly appeared.
In an instant.
In the dense forest ahead, pairs of green pupils flashed up and down in the deep void.
"Um?"
Frowning.
Xue Yun couldn't help but stop and felt a strange force field aura fluctuation, which clearly came from the owners of the pupils in front of him.
The next moment——
Dozens of wild monsters roared and jumped out from the dense trees.
As a result, Xue Yun's path was blocked on the spot.
Put your hands in your trouser pockets.
Xue Yun drooped his eyelids and looked at the uninvited guests in front of him calmly.
Most of them are biological freaks, occasionally mixed with two or three strange beasts. As for their rank, they are even more uneven.
The strongest one among them is just a nightmare level lv7 "Earth Spirit Scout".
"Awesome..."
Facing a group of wild freaks who look after the home.
Xue Yun suddenly burst into laughter, shook his head and sighed: "As expected of a highly respected regent, I can only raise a few dogs at home when I retire, but this old guy is lucky enough to have raised a large group of wild freaks in the fortress city."
Completely different from the armed monsters of the Night Watch, wild monsters originally possess absolute freedom.
Quite literally.
As long as they are willing, they can leave this strange forest at any time and rush into the city center to kill ordinary people. It is a completely one-sided massacre.
Ugh~~~
Pulling out two scimitars, the leader of the "Earth Spirit Scouts" bowed up.
Even though he had vaguely felt the terrifying energy from Xue Yun, he still raised the weapon in his hand and was ready to fight at any time.
"Old blacksmith, I'm back!!"
His eyebrows were raised slightly.
Xue Yun suddenly burst into laughter and quickly shouted towards the depths of the woods.
"Hurry up and get your pets out of the way. Otherwise, if we accidentally injure them during a fight, I won't be responsible!"
High-pitched shouts, mixed with the surging biological force field, exploded in the air.
Circles of space ripples spread in all directions.
In an instant——
The dead leaves all over the sky suddenly fell crazily again, covering the view after a while.
"You all, step back."
A vicissitudes of voice suddenly sounded deep in the woods.
The wild monster in front of him was startled, and then immediately retreated, slowly disappearing at the end of the woods.
"Come to the wooden house, I've made some tea, and I'd like to taste it with you."
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Xue Yun bowed and jumped, quickly passing through the dense woods like a breeze.
In a daze——
What comes into view is a vibrant peach forest.
The peach blossoms, which originally only bloomed in summer, were unexpectedly pink at the moment.
Looking from a distance, it seems to be shrouded in a looming layer of pink mist.
Narrowing his eyes, Xue Yun looked up.
Above the dreamlike peach grove, a simple wooden house is standing among the cliffs halfway up the mountain, with a smattering of smoke rising from the roof.
"You brat, if you haven't come up yet, do you want me to make a special trip to pick you up?"
In front of the wooden house.
Xuanyuan Zhong put his hands behind his back and looked down at the ground with a smile on his face.
The cliff in front of them is like an insurmountable chasm for ordinary night watchmen.
Without the blessing of armed freaks, it is difficult to climb up with personal ability.
But Xue Yun's physical fitness, after several rounds of freaks' back-feeding, has already surpassed the limits of human beings.
There was almost no hesitation.
Xue Yun exerted force under his feet and tapped the rocks on the peak a few times. He jumped up lightly and climbed halfway up the mountain without any effort.
He nodded with satisfaction.
Xuanyuan Zhong was wearing a gray plain robe. He turned around and waved his sleeves and said happily: "Come into the room and talk."
Follow the regent into the wooden house.
What greets you is the refreshing aroma of rich tea.
"This smell seems a little different from before..."
He sat down in front of the coffee table, minding his own business.
Xue Yun was not polite at all. He picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.
"Old blacksmith, have you changed the tea here to something new?"
Sit on the floor.
Xuanyuan Zhong smiled slightly, raised his hand and flicked his finger.
Immediately, a short goblin freak jumped out from the corner, holding a warm towel in his hands, and handed it to him respectfully.
"It's just a slight improvement on the tea leaves."
He took the towel and handed it to Xue Yun.
Xuanyuan Zhong looked calm and whispered: "Take it and wipe off the sweat first."
The long journey, the boat and the car are tiring.
Xue Yun's appearance at the moment was indeed a bit ugly, tired and a little dusty.
"Thanks!"
He raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup.
Xue Yun reached out to take the towel, wiped his face randomly, and quickly asked: "Where is Xiaowanzi, how is she doing now?"
Hear the words.
Xuanyuan Zhong smiled indifferently, raised his hand and raised it gently into the void.
Immediately afterwards, the tall "Steel Divine Weapon" took a sudden step forward.
While lowering his head and kneeling on the ground, he immediately took out the glowing dragon egg from his arms.
Startled slightly.
Xue Yun quickly stepped forward and took a closer look.
The dragon egg in front of me is as smooth as jade, and its restrained aura remains the same. The dragon-shaped mark on the surface is flickering, and its size seems to have shrunk even further than before.
"During this period, I have been using my field breath to suppress its reversal."
Narrowing his eyes slightly.
Xuanyuan Zhong said bluntly: "However, the most we can do is keep her previous memories from collapsing immediately, but if it continues to be delayed, this rare dragon freak will definitely return to its origins and completely turn into a mindless human being."
of dragon eggs.”
Secretly gritted his teeth.
Xue Yun quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to the old man in front of him.
"Uncle Zhong, thank you for taking good care of Xiaowanzi during this time. You are a great kindness. Xue Yun is grateful..."
