"Thief! Thief! Robbers!"
Chapter 35
But, before Shi An could find the place, it was found first.
"Shi An?" Wen Yao was stunned and looked at the teenager in front of him, "I just sent someone to look for you, and I didn't expect to run into you directly."
Shi An tilts her head a bit in confusion, "Looking for me? Why?"
"Well, we were going to wait until morning, but the chief seems to have changed his mind and is ready to move now."
Wen Yao looked at Shi An with some apologies, "We will leave some of our men behind to escort you out of the mountains, you can still take the tents and food in this camp, Officer Mu asked me to come and let you know that if there is anything you need, you can contact Zhuo Fu after you leave the mountains."
She handed over a piece of paper, "This is Zhuo Fu's contact information."
After seeing Shi An take the paper, Wen Yao greeted him briefly, then turned and hurried away.
The camp, which had just been silent and peaceful, was already functioning with renewed solemnity.
Most of the people who left the Administration were close associates of Mu Hang, while most of the members of the precinct who had been brought in from the Irving area stayed behind.
Shi An stood still, staring at Wen Yao's back.
After a long time, he nodded with certainty, "It must have something to do with dragons!"
When she was sure Mu Hang and his group had left, Shi An sneaked out of the camp when the others weren't looking.
He went back to where he was now cut off by the Necroseed, took a deep breath, and yelled, "Hey-"
"Are you still-"
There was silence all around.
"I'm going to start a fire if you don't come out!"
Boom!
The snow rumbled slowly once more, and once more the piles fell, and the tall form of the skeletal horse appeared in the snowy night, its eyes burning with spots of ghostly blue light, looking majestic and ghastly - all perfect, if one could ignore the deep and shallow scorch marks that marred its body.
Shi An patted its head in satisfaction, "Good boy."
He thought for a moment, pulling the Fire Gem out of his pocket and sending it to the other man's nose: "Smell? Can you trace it?"
Skeleton Horse: "......"
Magic Worm: "......"
After a long time of silence, it couldn t help but speak, breaking the awkward situation in front of it, "That, my lord, this is not a dog ......"
Shi An sighed and took the gem back into his pocket, muttering resignedly:
"I'm just trying ......"
Demon Worm: "The Necroseed is quite good at tracking the scent of living things, why don't you try having it follow its instincts?"
It has now given up trying to persuade Shi An to come down.
Once this dragon has made up its mind, it is absolutely tugging and not turning back, instead of resisting, it is better to help to finish the thing in advance ...... so that it can leave this cold and cold ghost place!
Shi An's eyes lit up, "You're right!"
He tugged on the skeletal horse and said, rightfully, "Let me up, I don't want to go."
The hallowed Mutant Necrotic Species Demon, in the face of absolute overwhelming power, could only humiliatingly lower itself and allow the human in front of it to climb onto its back.
Shi An moved and sighed, "Shouldn't have burned so cleanly before ......"
It's a little chunky.
Magic Worm: "......"
Give people some face, please.
The snowy night is dark, surrounded by chaos, four eyes far away, in addition to the white of the snow and then no half color, there is no trace of any living things.
Shi An lies drowsy on the back of the skeletal horse.
He was already sleepy and didn't like to go out, and the fact that it was so cold here again simply doubled his desire to hibernate.
The world became pale and distant as if the whole world was rocking on the back of a horse.
Time seems to have lost its meaning.
Shi An's eyelids drooped a little, and his vision gradually became blurred.
He felt like he was back in the safest place he had ever been.
Dark, dry caverns with mountains of treasure.
Well ...... seems to be lacking something.
Yes oh, there was a shiny human missing, sealed tightly amongst the amber and placed securely in the spot where he had made his left paw.
Ahh it's so nice ......
A sudden shaking jolted Shi An out of his half-asleep state, and he realized that the skeletal horse beneath him had stopped at some point.
Are we there yet?
He blinked in confusion and lifted his eyes toward the distance.
Sure enough, a team of humans stood out in the snow not far away.
The man with silver hair and black clothes stood at the very front of the group, and even from a long distance away, it was still possible to clearly recognize the other party's identity.
Shi An was energized.
It's really here!
He patted the skeletal horse beneath him, "Well done!"
Mu Hang raised his eyes and looked at the magnificent mountain before him.
The huge pale stones looked extraordinarily large, and they were piled up tightly at the bottom of the canyon, blocking the path in front of them so tightly that it was impossible to advance any further.
He craned his head to his side, "This is it?"
A mercenary with facial scars was tightly cuffed, and he still had half-dried blood on his face, "Yes, yes, this is where it is! Fire magic needs to be injected into it before the door will open."
Mu Hang gave him a fixed look.
Slowly and methodically, he removed his gloves and slowly pressed his long, slender hands against the cold stone wall.
The stone wall turned a crimson color under the man's palm, and the searing heat suddenly exploded in front of the crowd.
The few people at the front were forced back a few steps.
The surrounding snow pile was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the surrounding air was floating and fluctuating under the scorching heat.
After a few minutes, Mu Hang stopped.
He withdrew his hand, but the stone wall in front of him remained motionless.
Wen Yao squeezed the mercenary's shoulder hard, his brow furrowed, "Tell the truth."
The mercenary said eagerly, "Really! Really!"
As if he was afraid that the few people in front of him wouldn't believe him, he explained with his words upside down, "Maybe, maybe it's not enough, it still needs ...... it also needs a stronger fire magic, the opposite side of the room can, can ...... "
Wen Yao snorted, "Not enough?"
She relentlessly increased the force in her hand, watching the mercenary's face contort slightly, "Do you realize who stands before you?"
The mercenary lapsed into silence.
Indeed, in this world, if the magic of the Mu Hang isn't enough, no one is.
He seemed to suddenly think of something and was slightly stunned, then stammered, "I, I see, it's not the amount of magic that's wrong, it's the type that's wrong-"
The mercenary looked at Mu Hang eagerly : "I, on my chief, a carry a prop that seals fire magic, I thought it was because he was worried that the amount wasn't enough, but now it seems that maybe I thought wrong, what this door needs isn't human fire magic, it's Dragon Flame!"
Wen Yao: "Where is your leader now?"
The mercenary was suddenly dumbfounded.
After a long time, he said, "Dead, dead."
And that prop, it should still be on the body.
Wen Yao is at his wit's end.
She turned her head to Mu Hang, "Sir, what now?"
"That's okay."
Mu Hang unhurriedly put his gloves back on. The longsword congealed from magic power coalesced in his palm, flashing a cold, sharp blue light in the deep darkness of the night.
"Since the door won't open, just remove it."
He raised his hand, the hem of his clothes bulging in the gusty wind, and his longsword, powered by that ultra-violent magic power, rumbled into the thick stone blocks in front of him that stood a hundred meters high.
Ka-la.
The sound of crumbling stone exploded in the dead silence, spiderweb-like cracks spreading rapidly from the spot in front of the man.
*
Other side.
In order not to collide with Mu Hang, Shi An rode the skeleton horse, which was as good as any other in the mountains, to the inner part of the canyon.
He gazed at the rocks in front of him, how they looked wrong.
Why does ...... always look a little familiar somewhere?
At that moment, his eyes widened slightly as he struggled to jump off the back of the skeletal horse, then limped up a high rock beside him.
From his condescending viewpoint, Shi An seems to have finally realized something.
Slowly, a little, he widened his eyes.
Very familiar indeed.
It's so ripe that it can't get any riper.
This is his cave! What a cave he's been sleeping in for tens of thousands of years !!!!
It seemed to be the cause of that abyssal rift that had once opened up here, linking just enough of his own former cave to the surface, though it was closed in time to leave a large portion on the continent.
And it was because it was enclosed that it was split straight down the middle, leaving only the sharp corner, pointing straight up to the sky.
Shi An's expression is dull and his pupils are seismic.
Seventy percent of his cave ...... remained on the continent, and thirty percent remained at the bottom of the abyss.
And more importantly--
Now that his cave is out, what, what, what about the treasure he put in it !!!!
Shi An panicked.
He rushed as fast as he could to the rock wall below, and a cluster of dragon flames rose from his palm and slowly floated into the rock wall in front of him.
Boom!
The sound of rocks scraping against rocks rang out.
Immediately afterward, passages cracked open in the massive rock before them, as if welcoming their long-absent owner home.
Shi An rushed in.
After ten thousand years, his own cavern had become almost unrecognizable. Due to the squeezing of space, the originally wide area had become narrow and rugged, with debris everywhere, and the terrain within the cavern was so complicated that Shi An had used almost all of his breath to find the way to the main cavern.
Finally, the cave in front of him became familiar, gradually taking on the appearance of a memory.
Shi An took a deep breath and stepped inside.
Please ......
His treasure must be at ......
In front of us was a huge cave.
Layers and layers of hard, ancient rock, cold rock precipitated by thick snow, shadow-covered.
A narrow gaping hole showed at the top of the tall cave, and thin light spilled down from above, barely dispelling the darkness of the cave and illuminating his eyes.
Empty.
Shi An: "......"
In your mom's head.
A strong anger instantly rushed straight to his head, looking at the empty cave in front of him, Shi An was furious.
Not a single one left!!!
Nothing left !!!!
All, all, all gone!!!!
He clearly remembers that before he fell asleep, under his body was full of gold, gems, and crystals, ...... as if they were flowing golden hills, making a crisp and charming crashing sound as he moved, and the brilliant golden light reflected on his scales, illuminating the entire cave.
But now ......
It's all gone!
It was moved cleanly, and it was clear at first glance that it was not lost naturally, but stolen!
"No--!"
Shi An's eyes reddened with anger.
The teenager's voice was hoarse, as if hot, rough gravel had rolled through his throat, his otherwise clear voice fragmenting in extreme anger:
"Thief! Thief! Robbers!"
