Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

Where did the stairs come from? Patch said, Why didn't we see them when we came here?

Wuming waved to Patch, walked through the mine, walked behind the dragon, stood deep in the mine, and pointed ahead.

That's it.

Looking in the direction Wuming pointed, there were indeed several stairs, followed by an elevator.

At this time, the elevator had gone up, leaving only a dark entrance to the elevator shaft.

Patch's eyes twitched:

You...walked away from here?

I see that you guys are having a lively fight, so I'll go to the front and take a look first. Wuming smiled.

You are... Patch hesitated.

How did I walk through the mine to the ladder in front of you? Wuming said, I was invisible.

Patch was completely silent.

Wuming concealed himself, taking advantage of the fierce battle between Big Horn and the giant dragon, and swaggered through the mine and ran up to it.

Doesn’t that mean you’ve seen all of your “heroic fighting skills”?

You have to understand, Patch argued, if that thing rubs against me, I'll die.

I understand, I understand. Wuming nodded repeatedly, Don't worry, I'll cover you.

Dajiao also woke up from semi-coma at this time, and Wuming quickly went over to treat him.

Where's the dragon? Tragus was still thinking about the dragon.

Then he saw the giant dragon that had been beaten into an elevator. The remaining lava was still overflowing from its mouth, but it quickly drained away and was replaced by thick blood, which continued to spread and spread out into a pool of viscosity at everyone's feet.

Who did this? Tragus exclaimed.

It's Patch. Wuming answered quickly, He came up with a good idea, built a trap, and killed the dragon.

What trap is so powerful? Tragus exclaimed.

Hmm... Wuming thought for a while, but didn't make it up, I don't quite understand it, but it feels pretty strong.

The two looked at Patch, their faces full of curiosity.

Patch was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly:

Haha, that... secret!

After speaking, Pachi pulled Wuming aside:

Why do you say it was me?

I promised to cover you. Wuming patted his chest, Don't worry, I'll be that... bird of prey for you, which is the guard bird flying next to the leader. I'll make sure you take him down.

Patch covered his bald head:

Shouldn't you be my wingman in pursuit of Tanis? Why do you make it sound like you are pursuing Tragus!

Why are you anxious? Wuming was surprised, Aren't you trying to win over Tragus by trying to win over Tanis? When you recruit people to the volcano, aren't you trying to gain Tanis' favor? Can you be patient and wait for the twists and turns? Don’t want to go down anymore? How can you catch up with a girl like this!”

Patch sighed: That's so well said. If you have ever had a partner, what you say will be more credible.

There was indeed a matchmaker who was going to match me before, and the wedding was already held. Wuming crossed his arms.

I know, I was watching. Patch said, Then you ran away and almost made those guys mad.

Wuming chuckled: I can't help it. Although darkness is my essence, I yearn for light. If they fight with me openly, I may still agree with their will, but if they secretly plot and plot, I will Not happy anymore.”

When saying this, Wuming glanced at Patch.

Patch felt a little cold behind him when he saw it, and smiled:

Go up, there was a fight in this mine just now, I'm afraid it's really going to collapse.

Passing through the mines and onto the Yatan Plateau, the large golden grass that came to them and the golden trees that literally covered their heads and blocked the sky all showed that they had arrived at the real core area of ​​the junction, leaving what was known as the Golden People. for the border area.

So many coffins. Tragus was shocked.

Coming out of the mine tunnel, there are many large abandoned coffins in front of you, and a large number of coffins seem to have been abandoned here.

A lot of trucks. Wuming was surprised.

Patch was the only one who couldn't care less about the trucks.

He was still wondering if Wuming had noticed something, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should stop attacking Tragus or continue to seek death.

Patch gritted his teeth:

I'll go check out the front.

After saying that, he rushed forward with an indomitable momentum, quite eye-catching and blinking, his bald head reflected the golden light of the golden tree.

Not long after, Patch ran back again:

Quickly, it's time for you to take action.

Is there anything going on? Tragus loaded the crossbow.

There is a woman in front of us who is being hunted. It's our turn to do something heroic. Patch looked magnanimous.

Several people came forward, and sure enough they saw a woman holding a long skirt, running hurriedly among the golden fields, looking back from time to time.

Behind the woman, a shadow of blood followed.

It seems to be a bloody finger. Tragus was a little unsure.

It's the Bloody Finger. I've seen it in Galid before. Wuming said, A woman holding a double-headed knife.

It's important to save people. Tragus raised his crossbow, fired a crossbow arrow at Blood Finger, and then faced the two men who were chasing and fleeing.

Patch and Wuming also followed.

Looking closer, I found that this Bloodfinger was still a dragon knight, covered in the scales and membrane wings of a flying dragon.

As soon as Dajiao and the Bloody Finger met, they felt pressure as soon as they met.

The dragon knight looks slender, but is very strong. The double-headed sword stained with cursed blood is even more bloody.

The giant hammer with big horns could not touch the nimble dragon knight, but it was repeatedly slashed by the double-headed sword, causing blood to penetrate into the armor.

The armor had just gone through a battle with the giant dragon and was already somewhat damaged, showing cracks. The cursed blood also took advantage of the situation and bit out bursts of blood marks on Tragus's body.

Patch joins the fray, changing Tragus's predicament.

The big shield helped Tragus defend against the strange and changeable double swords. The spear forced the dragon knight to change his position, and was then knocked away by Big Horn's butt.

The dragon knight rolled away from the two of them, took a deep look at Patch and Tragus, and turned to leave.

Thank you, Tragus said to Patch.

Thank you, Lord Knight! The rescued woman was very grateful and thanked Patch and Tragus, You are my heroes!

You're welcome, this is what we should do. Patch deliberately showed gentlemanly behavior in front of Tragus.

The spirit of chivalry, Tragus replied.

Thank you for the rescue fee of two thousand runes. Wuming also came over.

The grateful woman's face suddenly froze.

What's your expression? Wuming was dissatisfied, Knights also need to eat. If we are not given a rune life, will we use love to generate electricity?

With a strange expression on her face, the woman touched her arms and took out a rough, semi-golden ore:

I only have this...

Although gold is also very precious, it is still not as good as rune. What's more, this is only an ore containing gold and can only be used as a forging stone... Wuming sighed, Forget it, that's fine.

Wuming smiled and accepted the forging stone and put it into his backpack.

As expected, high-grade forging stones can be found everywhere near the mine. This is why the royal city is so powerful...

Tragus didn't pursue material rewards that much, and Patch didn't respond. He held back his energy and tried to pull Tragus into trouble.

Seeing that Bloody Finger had just slipped away, Patch scolded Bloody Finger for being a coward while continuing to explore.

Although this is a royal city, it is quite peripheral. There are still many traces left by the war, and the public security environment is also very chaotic. Patch has found many things worthy of acting chivalrously and righteously.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Patch tried, Tragus remained unharmed.

Tragus can handle a small group of soldiers alone. When encountering a slightly more difficult situation, Wuming will stand in the distance and throw healing light balls, allowing Tragus to bathe in blessings and fight. , as if he were a faded person with a witch.

When encountering a more difficult situation, when encountering a truly powerful enemy, Wuming will pop up out of nowhere. A macho man will drop from the sky and smash the enemy to death, so effortlessly and effortlessly that people will not even notice that the opponent is a powerful enemy.

Tragus has always been safe and sound, and the reputation of the three-man team is getting better and better.

Especially Patch, because he is the one responsible for reconnaissance, he is always the first to contact others, and he is also the one mainly responsible for communication.

Dajiao is a relatively silent warrior, not good at words.

The legend of a team of Faded Ones began to spread on the edge of the Yatan Plateau.

Legend has it that three Faded Ones entered from the mine. They were not as vulgar as ordinary Fading Ones, but were very noble and kind-hearted.

The heavily armored warrior is silent and strong, and is sought after by many.

The bald man is humorous, eloquent, chivalrous and upright. He is respected by more people and his reputation spreads far and wide.

It's just that the third clergyman is not very likable. The person he helps always asks for money. He doesn't look like a hero, but looks like a profit-seeking businessman.

But the money was not much, so no one said much.

No matter how miserable the people living on the Yatan Plateau are, they can still afford thousands of runes.

Wuming didn't care what others thought of him. He was very happy when a lot of runes came into his account every day.

Tragus is also very happy. With Patch's help, his chances of helping others during this period are almost as much as those in the past combined. Now he and Pachi are called brothers.

Only Patch was a little desperate.

He felt that the only way to kill Tragus was to attack the royal city, but Tragus might not agree.

Although the faded ones are not blessed, most of them still regard the royal city as orthodox, gather at the round table, and fight under the guidance of blessings.

Tragus must also be such a fader, otherwise the volcano would not call himself to kill him.

As night fell, both Tragus and Wuming had fallen asleep.

Patch sat by the fire, scratching his head anxiously.

He looked fiercely at Tragus.

We can't delay it any longer. Since the powerful enemies outside can't deal with him, we have no choice but to do it ourselves.

While Tragus was sleeping, Patch tightened his spear, lifted his shield, and moved to Tragus' side.

Tragus slept very deeply. A warrior should not sleep so deeply in the wild, but since the three of them formed a team and someone kept watch, Tragus slept soundly, snoring like thunder every day.

The fire dimmed, and the shadow cast on Patch's face spread like a snake, stretching and shrinking.

Finally, Patch made up his mind and prepared to thrust the spear down.

The spike penetrated Dajiao's butt, waking him up.

Who? Tragus got up and looked around.

Patch was also a little confused.

My spear hasn't been pierced yet?

Tragus stood up from the ground like a carp and pulled it up to his buttocks.

An arrowhead dripping with green juice was pulled out.

Is this... a poisonous arrow? Patch said.

Probably. Tragus nodded and fell down again.

Dajiao fell to the ground with a crash, and Wuming was also woken up. He yawned and treated him. Only Pachi was left holding the big shield and watching the surroundings cautiously.

Hey! Patch yelled at Wuming, There are enemies. Tragus has fallen. It's your turn!

It's useless for you to tell me. I don't know where the enemy is. Wuming said.

Are you kidding? Patch said, You have so much combat experience, don't you know how to find enemies?

I never look for enemies or traps, Wuming said.

How did you survive? Patch didn't believe it.

Wuming said meaningfully: Those who can't kill me will make me stronger - those who kill will also.

Patch was desperate: You don't have anything...such as the ability to explore heat sources?

Yes. Wuming said, But I didn't see anything unusual around me.

Arrow... maybe the enemy is far away from us. Patch lowered his body again and shook his shield in front of Wuming and Tragus to resist the unknown enemy.

With a clang, another long arrow shot out, hitting the shield with a crisp impact.

Patch saw it, and it turned out to be the same poisonous arrow. The arrow body was curved and the arrowhead looked like a snake head.

That direction! Patch pointed to the direction where the poisonous arrow came from.

Wuming also threw the fire whip in the direction pointed by Patch, dispelling the darkness along the way.

But nothing was seen.

Patch was sweating more and more. One attack might have been an accidental arrow, but two attacks were obviously malicious.

He has determined that there are enemies around, but where are the enemies?

Another arrow struck, and this time Patch had no luck, and the long arrow hit Tragus again.

This won't work, you take him to find a bunker first. Patch turned around and said.

As soon as he turned around, the next arrow had already arrived. This time the poisonous snake was targeting Patch. The arrow bit into his boot, and the venom immediately flowed up his calf.

Patch immediately panicked and yelled Wuming at the top of his lungs:

Medic, get here!

Coming, coming. Wuming put down Tragus and ran towards Patch. Halfway there, an arrow was inserted into Wuming's throat. Wuming fell to the ground with a cry, face down, and the arrow was squeezing. It pierced his neck and protruded from the back.

Patch's eyes twitched, he gritted his teeth, held on to the poison, and held his shield in the direction of the flying arrow.

On your left. A hoarse voice sounded from Patch's left ear.

Patch was startled and used all his strength to lift his shield and throw it to the side.

But he found nothing. He didn't even see the owner of the voice.

This exertion only made him weaker.

How is that possible... Patch murmured.

The distance of the arrows fired several times, as well as the voice of the voice, were not in the same direction.

If the opponent is shooting from an extremely far direction, it is impossible to move that far in a short period of time.

The sound that just sounded in his ears convinced Patch that the enemy was nearby, even within the scope of the fire, but they could not see it.

Patch finally couldn't lift the shield anymore and collapsed on the ground.

Your Excellency, please show up, at least let us know clearly. Patch gasped, the venom was acting up, and his ears were ringing.

I'm here to kill you, and kill Tragus the Great Horn by the way. The voice sounded, but the owner of the voice did not appear, and without saying a word, his position was changing.

Who are you? Why do you want to kill us? Patch asked, Is it because of what we did during this time?

Patch could only think of this. During this period, he and Tragus picked out many evil forces. It would not be unusual for any force to seek revenge if there was a stronger backend behind it.

It is indeed because of this. The voice replied, I can't tell you my name, but you can call me, Invisible Snake.

Invisible killer... Patch muttered.

Yes, the invisible killer can be done in two days. The voice said.

Who sent you? Patch asked.

There was silence in the air.

Please brother, let me understand. Patch said.

The voice spoke again, already in Patch's ear:

Volcano Residence.

Patch's eyes widened and he suddenly laughed:

Hey, I told you earlier, brother. Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and I am also the one who got involved with you.

The air was silent again.

Patch's smile gradually disappeared, he was silent for a moment, and said:

Not a misunderstanding?

Is it really not a misunderstanding? Patch didn't believe it. Is it possible that the photo was lost when you took the mission? Did it fall into your jacket pocket? Can you take a closer look? Or did you burn the photo and you can't recognize it?

The air is always silent, death gradually spreads in this space, and the sour and rotten smell brought by the poisonous gas becomes stronger and stronger.

Patch said: So...it's really not a misunderstanding...Did Tanith call you here?

Yes. The voice answered for the last time.

I understand... Patch suddenly laughed, his laughter full of bitterness, I understand... Wuming! Get the hell out of here!

Hey, it's coming, it's coming. Wuming jumped up from the ground happily, with an arrow stuck in his throat.

Seeing Wuming rising, an obvious and somewhat panicked footsteps clearly sounded in the surrounding air. Although it was quickly hidden and the specific location could no longer be determined, it could be judged that it was nearby.

It'll be easier if it's nearby. Wuming said.

Wuming pressed his hands on the ground. Except for the location of Patch and Tragus, in a radius of fifty meters, the ground fire surged, covering all directions, the flames raged, and a figure was instantly reflected.

The man's body was covered in flames, and he could no longer hide his figure this time. He could only roll on the ground and scream like a slaughtering pig.

Wuming no longer paid attention to the invisible killer, carried Patch to Tragus, and the two of them cleaned up the toxins together.

Patch was being treated by Wuming, his eyes fiercely gouging out Wuming:

You've already planned it, right?

Wuming asked Patch while treating his wounds:

What's the plan?

Let me team up with Big Horn. Patch said.

Isn't this your plan? Wuming asked back.

Don't do this. Patch said: If you ask me to do good deeds every day, the Huoshan Mansion will notice us. They will think that I betrayed the Huoshan Mansion and that I still follow the guidance of Blessing and Two Fingers, so They will send people to kill us...

Wuming nodded and smiled at Patch:

I'm a good cockroach, okay?

You're such a shitty wingman! Patch grabbed the big shield and slapped Wuming's helmet.

Isn't this good enough? Wuming said, Tanith noticed you! She sent someone to kill you. Have you ever been treated like this before?

Patch was demented: Are you a little boy? Is this what attracts women's attention? Let women send people to kill you!

We fall in love and kill each other. Wuming said seriously, The priest of the church of marriage is so stupid, saying that this is beautiful love.

I'll kill you first!
