Chapter 250 Taking the Blame for Misfortune -
“Ye Wujiu!”
Ding Heran called Ye Wujiu’s name in a directed message, and without caring about anything else, he jumped up and landed on The mouth of the deep pit was closed due to collapse.
Since the last desperate battle with the earth-type A-level man in black in Pingyang Forest, Ding Heran’s magical ability has improved significantly. He has essentially the strength of a quasi-A-level warlock. Neng also showed a clear division of the five elements - the fire element.
So at this moment, the scorched earth is no different from the normal temperature to him. As long as it is non-toxic and miasma-free, there is no need to impose a defensive barrier at all.
"No Jiu! Ye Wu Jiu!"
While continuing the directional communication, Ding Heran leaned over and shouted unconsciously at the closed entrance of the cave - naturally no response was heard.
He quickly forced himself to calm down, knelt on one knee, placed one palm on the scorched earth, closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling the strange movement.
.
“Boom, boom…”
There seems to be a crevice space under the scorched earth, and there is a faint sound of thunder inside, and it seems that some kind of giant beast is running away quickly along the crevice.
What is that?
Flames, giant beasts...could it be trouble?
Ding Heran thought to himself that if it were a disaster, it would be entirely possible for such a disaster to occur.
Fu Dou was originally the fighting beast of the Fire God Zhu Rong. It was as black as ink and had a pair of pointed ears. It looked like a giant vicious dog. Later, it multiplied and gathered in the south of the "Fire-hating Realm" in the upper realm. .
This mythical beast feeds on fire, and its excrement is like burning black coals. Although it has a slight fishy smell, it can burn for several years. It is an important way for ordinary people to keep out the cold in bitter cold places in the upper world, such as "Buzhou Mountain". thing.
Although Fu Dou is aggressive and aggressive by nature, he is a typical social animal with a strong sense of territory and will not easily leave his place of birth.
So it is rare for someone to go to other places to cause harm, let alone go down to the Sleeping Realm to cause trouble - unless someone does it specifically.
Ding Heran sniffed. The fishy smell in the flying smoke and embers made it difficult for him not to associate it with Fu Dou's excrement. Although he did not see the situation underground, Ding Heran Ran has almost concluded in his heart that the disaster here is inseparable from this ferocious beast.
Fu Dou is notoriously difficult to deal with. When he heard Uncle Fei tell old news about Si Chen Mansion, he mentioned that one of the puppet masters from thousands of years ago created nine phantoms one after another. It is said to be a legend.
This person was also very proud, and deliberately sought out various raptors and mythical beasts to fight against each other, one to strengthen his own phantoms, and the other to show off his strength to the world - but his vitality was severely damaged during the battle with Fudou, and nine phantoms were bitten to death. Four of them, their ferocity is evident.
Thinking of this, Ding Heran became even more nervous. The gap space in this pit was limited. If there was trouble, even Ye Wujiu would suffer if he couldn't use it!
"Ye Wujiu! Wait! I'm here to save you!"
.
Ding Heran stood up and took two steps back, muttering something in his mouth, using his left hand to pinch Jue, with his right hand flat and palm upward, he saw the embers and dust floating around the pit quickly condensing towards his palm.
There seemed to be a colorless flame in the palm of his hand, which instantly refined the embers and dust that entered it. The particles shone like stars in the Milky Way - these "stars" all rotated in one direction, and soon a miniature was formed in his palm. , like a star map flame filling the entire universe.
“Open!”
Ding Heran shouted and pushed the flame of the star map in his palm towards the blocked hole!
Just like rusty iron encounters aqua regia sulfuric acid, the moment it comes into contact with the "star map flame", the dark scorched earth is gradually "corroded" and dissolved, and it is only a matter of time before the potholes are exposed.
But the biggest problem at this moment is the issue of time. Ding Heran was anxious, and once again charged up the energy in his palm, using his own magic energy to brew countless flame bombs and smash them into the closed pit.
"Bang!"
There was a moderate sonic boom in the air, and the cave entrance that had been closed due to the collapse was revealed. However, the crack was limited and could only accommodate an adult crawling through.
Ding Heran put his hands on the wall, put his head against the crack and looked in hastily. It was dark inside and he couldn't see anything. The rumbling sound he heard through the scorched earth layer had long since disappeared.
“No Jiu!”
“Ye Wu Jiu!”
He shouted subconsciously, thrust his head forward, and crawled into the hole!
......
"Where are you calling Hun?"
A calm and slightly annoyed voice sounded from behind. Ding Heran was startled and did not respond. Come over, the person has been pulled out of the cave by an invisible force.
Ye Wujiu had a calm expression on his face, folding his arms and looking at Ding Heran, who looked disgraced from drilling the hole.
"No, you...what, you, I..."
Ding Heran spoke incoherently, pointing at the entrance of the cave, then at Ye Wujiu, then at himself, and then at the entrance of the cave, with a look of confusion on his face.
“Go up first and then talk.”
Ye Wujiu tilted his head towards the outside of the pit and saw several resentment-breakers who were traveling with him standing respectfully at Mo Tingfeng and Song Weichen. Around them, it was obvious that they were returning from somewhere else.
Ye Wujiu saw Ding Heran acting foolishly in the pothole and came here to look for him. "Oh..."
Ding Heran was crestfallen, and instantly felt that his "so cool" spell-casting action just now was "so stupid."
.
"Sir, Brother Wei."
Returning to the edge of the scorched earth pit, Ding Heran bowed to Mo Tingfeng and Song Weichen somewhat sarcastically. The Mengshui Prefecture Yin disappeared at some point, and he thought he had left with his team.
Mo Tingfeng looked at Ding Heran with a half-smile, but in fact he had been observing him for a while - his magic power was obviously at a higher level than before, but his ability to "create chaos in a hurry" seemed to be even stronger than before.
Song Weichen originally wanted to tease Ding Heran. How should I put it, listening to Ding Heran's "crying blood and wailing", she was a little bit annoyed with him and Ye Wujiu...
But when she saw Ding Heran sneaking back from the rapture, his whole body Feeling sad and deflated, she quickly swallowed the "joke" that came to her lips.
Ye Wu Jiu actually led the team to show up a long time ago.
He even met Yin Fuyin when he arrived early and said goodbye.
He arrived early and heard Ding Heran howling his name at least three times. Even though he was overjoyed, he was a little embarrassed. If Mo Tingfeng hadn't stopped him, he said he wanted to see how far Ding Heran's fire spells could be used. To the extent that he would have kicked him in the butt long ago.
......
"Everyone is here, let's talk business. Wu Jiu, what's going on next?"
Ye Wu Jiu saluted Mo Tingfeng seriously, and then rushed behind him The two grudge-breakers nodded, and the latter understood and presented two things.
One of them is the scabbard of a heavy sword; the other is a small half of a burnt fire break.
"My lord, both items were found in the pit."
Ding Heran was stunned when he saw the scabbard. It was the scabbard of an epee, made entirely of dark wood. Wrapped in shark skin, the scabbard has gilt carvings on the head and tail, and is embellished with turquoise. The largest turquoise has the word "Gongsun" engraved on it. This thing is really familiar to him.
In the past, Gongsun Miao, a martial arts family, founded the sect with his sword. No one in the world could surpass him in weapons, and he was regarded as the sword immortal by the world. Five hundred years ago, it suddenly disappeared from the world for unknown reasons. Since then, only its legend has remained in the world.
And this scabbard comes from Gongsun Miao's inherited sword, which is said to be only passed down to descendants of the bloodline.
“I remember very clearly that this was the scabbard of the sword of the man in black who fought Wu Jiu and I in Pingyang Forest. It is the only one in the world. , it is impossible to admit a mistake.”
Ding Heran rushed to speak, unable to explain how he felt at the moment - he and Ye Wujiu almost died at the hands of the man in black, but an opponent with such a disparity in fighting power lost his scabbard here.
No swordsman would throw away his scabbard under normal circumstances, unless it was a matter of life or death.
Thinking of this, Ding Heran's emotions were very complicated. If the man in black was a deserter in panic, how terrible would the opponent he faced be?
......
"My lord, my subordinate's judgment is consistent with He Ran's. This scabbard was carried by the Grade A earth magician of Pingyang Forest at that time."
Unlike Ding Heran, Ye Wujiu had always been calm, with a calm face and no trace of his mood.
He pointed at the half-cut piece of fire and was about to speak, but Mo Tingfeng raised his hand to stop him, indicating that he didn't need to say anything anymore.
"There is only one person in the world who can avoid being burned by the power of the furnace, and that is the bounty hunter 'Huo Zhezi'."
Mo Tingfeng pondered slightly , told Ding Heran and Ye Wujiu part of the information about the night they received the red-eye warning in Pingyang Forest.
"These two people have met in Pingyang Forest. It is no coincidence that they appear here together at this time. I am just not sure whether they are enemies or friends." Mo Tingfeng said.
He looked at the charred circular pit in front of him with doubts on his face. Although "Huo Zhezi" was a quasi-A-level fire warlock, it was simply impossible to cause such devastation - even a level-A warlock might not be able to do it.
"Wu Jiu, apart from these two objects, are there any other discoveries down there?" Mo Tingfeng asked, expressing his doubts, "Besides the two of them, is there a third person?"
"Maybe it's not a human being."
Ding Heran rushed to speak.
“I just felt a giant beast running under the ground, but... a fight?”
Hearing Ding Heran mention Fu Dou, Ye Wu Jiu was stunned for a moment and then shook his head.
"Your Majesty, apart from these two objects, there are three carbonized corpses underground. Judging from Yu Qi, they all have at least B-level combat capabilities."
"In addition...we We did track down a strange creature that was full of fire. He was running very fast. Although we only captured Yu Qi, we can be sure that he was definitely not Hu Dou."
Ye Wujiu's expression was a bit strange, but he was originally calm. There was a little panic on his face.
“That strange thing makes me feel like a human being... but not a living person.”
