Chapter 286: At the Foot of Kela Mountain
There was a whistling wind in his ears, and Zheng Qing could hear the sound of the corners of his robe rustling. He vaguely guessed what the old man was doing.
After a while, the wind gradually subsided.
"This is a parting gift..."
The voice of Great Elder Atal gradually faded away. Zheng Qing slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was lush greenery. They had left the splendid hall and appeared in a strange area.
It was getting late and the forest was dark.
Maodou rushed out of the darkness, wagging his tail at the young public-funded student with great interest. The brief meeting had already made Gouzi familiar with the wizard's new aura.
Zheng Qing scratched its head and kept pointing the rune gun steadily at Nikita.
"You don't need to be so careful at all," the banshee shrugged helplessly, pointing to the jade talisman hanging on her body: "All my magic power and evil spirit have been sealed by this talisman... What if you If I accidentally shake my finger, wouldn’t I die unjustly?”
"It's not unjust for you to die." Zheng Qing first refuted the banshee's words, and then shook the muzzle of his gun: "Be honest, my fingers are very steady... Just because you are sealed, I need to be extra careful. ”
Only then did Merlin know if this cunning banshee had any back-up plans.
As he spoke, Zheng Qing kept looking at the surrounding environment out of the corner of his eyes - at this moment, the five hunters of the Exoneration Hunting Team, two banshees, and a dog were standing on the edge of a lush forest. Under their feet was a There is a wooden sign at the intersection of the forked path.
There are three wooden arrows hanging under the sign. One arrow points to an empty white field with the label 'Enchanted Forest Zurg' on it. The other arrow points behind the wizards with the label 'Utha City' and a white chalk mark on it. Cat head.
The last arrow points to the depths of the forest, with the words 'Old House of Krashan Engla' written on the arrow.
Zheng Qing looked along the last arrow, with a bit of nervousness and uneasiness on his face. Kela Mountain should be the mountain that Great Elder Atal mentioned that they need to climb. As for the old house of Engla, it is located at the pass of Kela Mountain. If you want to go up the mountain, you must pass that old house.
Zheng Qing remembered that Old Atal said that there was a dark wizard in the house.
"Oh, what the hell." Fatty Xin groaned in a low voice and scratched his hair very hard: "Can't he send us here again tomorrow morning? Staying in a strange forest at night, in case we encounter a giant What to do with the old ghost!"
"Beat him to death, or capture him and put him in a bottle. The price of wild old ghosts is not cheap on the island, and they are very profitable." Zhang Jixin replied, and at the same time gave the fat man a sideways glance: "It's just an old ghost, is it more powerful than a demon? Is it scary?"
Zheng Qing couldn't help laughing and tightened the rune gun in his hand.
On the surface, the red-faced wizard's words were just an answer to Fatty Xin's complaint, but they did a good job of dispelling the uneasiness in the hearts of others. Zheng Qing looked at his companions and suddenly realized that he was a wizard. In theory, he should not be afraid of ghosts, ghosts, or other dangerous beasts.
After all, his gun was pointed at a real banshee at the moment, and the two guys with tendon flesh were drooling and looking around, hoping that a big white-fronted tiger with an eye-catching look would jump out from behind the bushes and kill him. Let's have a sumptuous dinner.
"Demons are also afraid of ghosts." Zhu Zhu tugged on the corner of Nikita's clothes and whispered.
Zheng Qing's eyes were fixed on the little banshee, and he suddenly realized something.
He looked at Nikita: "Where are your subordinates? Those Gug giants, the Shattuck birds, and the ghouls...can you contact them?"
"How do I know?" The banshee twitched her lips: "But I guess the old man from the temple doesn't have that much magic power to move an entire army here."
"I hope they won't destroy Usa City." Zheng Qing prayed for that small city for a second without confidence. As a black cat, he liked the city of cats very much and did not want to bring disaster to that small city because of himself.
"Since Elder Atal sent us here, he must have a way to deal with those monsters and monsters." Xiao Xiaokuan explained to Zheng Qing, then adjusted his glasses: "Now, we need to consider the issue of mountain climbing... and, Do you want to go into the mountain now?”
Breaking into a dark wizard's mansion late at night didn't sound like a smart choice.
But since Old Man Atal chose to send them here during this time period, he must have other deep meanings. Zheng Qing looked up at the dim sky, felt the gazes of his companions, and finally made up his mind.
"Come in." He shook the rune gun in his hand and said with confidence, "I feel like I can shoot it again at any time."
"I like this way of reasoning." Zhang Jixin geared up and laughed.
As soon as Zheng Qing spoke, Jiang Yu opened the Dharma book in her hand and recited a mantra in a low voice: "That moon was not dim, and this day is not dim."
A group of slender plants lined up neatly and ran out of the witch's book of laws, jumping and running deep into the forest.
Blossoms of golden sunshine emerged from their mushroom heads, like bubbles, swaying and floating into the air, and then shattered, scattering sunlight all over the ground, dispersing the dark night.
The woods, paths and wooden signs were coated with a halo, allowing this small area to escape the shroud of night and return to dusk.
"It feels so good to have light... I wonder if I will have the opportunity to visit the Black Prison after returning to school this time." Fatty Xin walked behind Nikita and deliberately said loudly: "It is said that it is a prison that is always in darkness. Prison, the guards will eat up every ray of light there, and the prisoners in the dark prison can only judge whether they are sitting at the dining table or the toilet by the touch of their hands..."
"I think normal people can make correct judgments using their noses." The banshee glanced at the fat man indifferently: "Of course, it is not ruled out that there are people with excess fat blocking their nasal cavities."
The fat man's blue face looked a little gray in the dim light.
In order to prevent him from being taught a worse lesson by the sharp-tongued banshee, Zheng Qing quickly changed the subject: "...Fat man, did you and the elder go down the mountain this way before?"
Fatty Xin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something harsh to the banshee, but in the end he chose to give up, and muttered in a depressed manner and replied: "That's right."
"Tell us about that old house."
"There's nothing to say... It's just a gloomy house. When we came out of the yard, we didn't see any dark wizard mentioned by Old Man Atal... If there really is a dark wizard living there, we won't Maybe leave that easily."
"...Perhaps this is why Old Man Atal sent us here at night." Xiao Xiao's voice came from behind Zheng Qing. The voice was not high, but clear enough: "Many areas closed by magic can only be seen in the moonlight. Their true colors can only be revealed in the dark or at night.”
