Otherworldly Skeleton

Du Xiao said that the Nuan River was safe, but Lu Yan didn't feel that way, so after getting down the river, he spent much less time in deep meditation, and spent more time observing the surroundings while wading through the water, including the distant sky Whether there will be enemies approaching.

However, the journey was too long. As he was walking, Lu Yan recalled the situation when the Black Ring Gate collapsed. At that time, the entire origin plate had countless voids. Not only the nine soul engravers were passed away, but even Erlao, Karen Val, Xing Tianhe, An Qi, Xueyan, and many others were sent to different places, and the team he worked so hard to build fell apart in an instant.

I don't know where these discers have been passed on. Except for the nine soul engravers, Lu Yan can't feel the positions of others. Among them, what Lu Yan wants to know most is the positions of Karen Val and the second elder. He has also considered After my half-shifting disease disappears, how to gather these people, after much deliberation, the most effective way is to do something earth-shattering and let it spread throughout the entire Xingheng world in a short time, but this will also Bring in enemies.

Thinking of the enemy, Lu Yan naturally thought of Augustine who pretended to be a demon messenger, Alban who turned into a moth mother, and the Rainbow Queen who didn't know where. Lu Yan felt a burst of tightness in his skull. He realized that in the near future, he might still have conflicts with the most powerful people in the Xingheng world. This was a fate he couldn't escape even if he wanted to...

"Skull, this terrain is a bit dangerous." Du Xiao's voice interrupted Lu Yan's thoughts.

Lu Yan raised his head and saw the plain ahead as far as the eye could see. The warm river in the middle was pale yellow and steaming hot, and the white ice and snow plains were on both sides. Not to mention the forests and hills, they seemed to be connected to each other. You can’t even see any stones. This kind of plain terrain is actually very common in the ice continent, which is the main tone of the ice continent.

"What's the danger?" Lu Yan asked.

Du Xiao said: "It's so stupid, look at the surroundings are so flat, the wind from the snow field is not obstructed, they will take away the mist from the warm river sky, so our figure in the water will become very obvious, if there is a magician flying by in the sky, We'll be exposed immediately."

Yan nodded: "Then what do you want to do?"

Du Xiao sighed and said, "We only have the shore. After half a day's journey westward from here, we will come across a small hilly area, and then we will figure out a way."

Lu Yan didn't want to go to the snow to be frozen anymore, adding the fire element in the warm river seemed to be very helpful for him to recover, so he shook his head and said: "No, I don't want to be frozen, or if we separate, I will Walk along the Nuanhe River, you can always reach your house anyway, I will tell your father that I am Lu Yan, and cheer him up by the way."

Du Xiao shook his head again and again: "How can I do that? It's not that I don't trust you. You must know that our Du family also has many guards. If you rush in by yourself, you may be beaten to death by them. Even if you don't die, As long as you can see that you are a fake, then my efforts will be in vain."

Lu Yan spread his hands in the water: "Then what should I do, anyway, I don't want to go ashore again."

Du Xiao actually didn't want to go ashore, he rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "Why don't you carry me on your back, the buoyancy in the water is so strong, you don't need much strength to carry me on your back, so I can find a reed coupler and put it in my mouth to breathe .”

"Ha, you're lazy!" Lu Yan yelled, and at the same time he laughed secretly in his heart. Du Xiao's method is somewhat useful against careless magicians, and it's a good thing he thought of it so quickly.

Du Xiao thought that Lu Yan was not happy, so he quickly apologized with a smile: "Good skeleton, you do me this favor, and I will definitely repay you later!"

"What will you give me in return?"

"Just say what you want, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you." Seeing that Lu Yan showed signs of letting go, Du Xiao quickly patted his chest to promise.

Lu Yan chuckled and said, "I want you to help me build a stone house by the Nuan River, and I want to stay at your Du's house for quite a long time."

"Do you want to build a house by the Nuan River? It will be destroyed by the fire crocodile... Uh, but it doesn't matter. I beg my father to set up a magic circle. Although it is a bit expensive, as long as he believes that you are Lu Yan, no matter how expensive it is." That's not a problem. Well, okay, Skull, I promise you that after I go back, I will build you a stone house by the Nuan River in our Du family's territory, so that you can live comfortably and freely until you die. "Du Xiao said solemnly.

Lu Yan smiled slightly. The stone house in the Du family's territory should be a very quiet place, nourished by the fire element in the warm river, and it would be a good place for him to recover his strength.

"Then, it's a deal."

Lang Ye flew with Heijia in the sky above Nuanhe. Two magician servants placed a light yellow protective cover under him, and four other servants drew their weapons and waited in front of the periphery. The appearance of the enemy is to prevent being suddenly attacked by the fire crocodile in the warm river.

The ferocity of the fire crocodile is famous in the whole Xuelu province. Half of the [-] towns in Xuelu province are passed by the Nuan River. According to the legend, there is a mountain of corpses in the lowest reaches of the Nuanhe River, which is formed by the accumulation of human bones spit out by fire crocodiles.

But in fact, a monster like a fire crocodile does not spit out bones at all when it eats people.

The high temperature in their mouths can melt rocks and armor, and ordinary humans will burn violently immediately after being swallowed by them, so the fire crocodile is very anxious to eat, otherwise its food will be burned to ashes, some actions Slow fire crocodiles may even starve to death.This peculiar physique makes the fire crocodile very "hungry". They will attack almost everything that can move, even the birds in the sky.

"[Yanxiu] is the way fire crocodiles attack targets in the sky. This is a very powerful magic. Before becoming a magister, it is impossible to resist this kind of magic." Hei Jia explained to Lang Ye.

Lang Ye was puzzled and said: "Teacher, since the magister can resist, why do these servants still look like they are facing a big enemy? Aren't they stronger than the magister?"

Heijia said: "Young master, Du Pu is one level higher than the magister, but there are a lot of fire crocodiles, and there may be dozens of fire crocodiles attacking at the same time, so even Du Pu must be careful, especially if you are present. These servants don't dare to neglect any more."

Lang Ye nodded, looked at the steaming river, with a trace of worry on his face: "Teacher, are the heat detection runes effective?"

Heijia shook his head: "No, the heat detection talisman is to search for targets based on the fact that the body temperature of practitioners is slightly higher than that of ordinary people, but in the warm river, the temperature of everything is very high, and its effect is completely ineffective. gone."

"Damn it!" Lang Ye clashed fists and palms, very upset.

Half an hour later, Lang Ye flew a distance of nearly 18 meters along the Nuanhe River. At this distance, ordinary people would not be able to cover it in two or three days. They never noticed Du Xiao's appearance. Lang Ye was extremely depressed. Could it be that he really His judgment was wrong, Du Xiao didn't flee to the south of Luwei Township from the very beginning?

"Brother Lang, don't worry, I think Du Xiao is in this river." Ping Yanhong who followed Lang Ye suddenly spoke.

Lang Ye knew that Ping Yanhong was very smart, and when he heard her speak like this, he was overjoyed and said, "Why, did you see him?"

"No." Ping Yanhong shook her head: "However, I found that there are no fire crocodiles in the Nuan River. All the fire crocodiles will lie down and will not show up for a few days."

Hei Jia also suddenly realized: "That's right, the Du family's territory is on both sides of the Nuan River, they should be very familiar with the habits of the fire crocodiles, it is very likely that Du Xiao took advantage of these fire crocodiles and silkworms to escape by taking advantage of the waterway. "

Lang Ye was very excited when he heard both of them say this: "Okay, let's search carefully along the river again."

After searching this time, Du Xiao was still not found, but something exciting happened. A ferry servant found human and skeleton footprints on the bank of the Nuan River. Judging from the direction the footprints came from and the time when they entered the water, it was very close. It might be Du Xiao and the skeleton he bought.

"That skeleton is still alive." Lang Ye gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of shit skeleton can walk in the snow for so long."

Heijia also felt a little strange. The few skeletons sold in the slave market could not withstand long-term trekking, so they could only stay in some poor villages as coolies. The skeleton that came out of the stone forest was obviously a bit strange.

However, no matter how strange the skeleton was, it was not what Lang Ye was interested in. His target was Du Xiao.Lang Ye quickly sent someone to pass the news back, and then the Black Knights of the Lang family quickly came to both sides of the Nuanhe River to investigate. Go to the downstream of the Nuan River and set up a fence to stop Du Xiao no matter what.

Two ferry servants were ordered to go into the water, and followed Du Xiao's escape route, and quickly chased him from the water.The two ferrymen cast wind and water spells, cutting across the water line and advancing rapidly, looking like two extremely fast vicious fishes hunting their prey.

Lang Ye sneered, "Du Xiao, you're dead this time."

At this moment, Du Xiao was hiding with Lu Yan in a thick patch of water grass, and he was full of anxiety: "It's unlucky, I didn't expect that the Lang family would send so many ferry servants here, I should have thought of it earlier, the Lang family The most greedy, they bite the prey and will not let it go, how should we hide now."

Within an hour, there were servants flying back and forth across Du Xiao's sky twice. If it wasn't for the high temperature of the Nuan River, plus the cover of heating air and aquatic plants, Du Xiao would have been exposed.But he escaped twice, but he couldn't escape eight or ten times. It seems that the Lang family has concluded that he is in the river, and they are going to search this warm river. Du Xiao guesses that a checkpoint has been set up downstream, so go down It is also a dead end.

"What should I do?" Du Xiao was sweating profusely, and his body curled up in Lu Yan's arms trembled slightly, like a frightened kitten: "It doesn't matter if I die, but it's even more difficult for my father to cheer up." It's over, our Du family is going to be finished, I can't die here!"

Lu Yan looked indifferently at Du Pu's distant figure in the sky, and a murderous look appeared on his face.
