Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The pass between Lienia and Nimgofu is Stonewell City. In addition, there is a hidden path.

But this trail was in Storm Hills, and of course they were lost.

This time Wuming was not so lucky. Without the help of Helailu to break through the storm, the three of them just groped in the endless sandstorm for who knows how long.

When Wuming woke up, it was already late at night.

The moon of Lienia seemed brighter, high in the dome, juxtaposed with the golden tree.

Wuming sat up and saw a bonfire rising next to him. Werewolf Blaze and Tuifu were lying on the side, not yet awake.

Seeing the bonfire, Wuming was in a trance for a moment.

But the trance was quickly destroyed by the aroma.

A woman with short hair was grilling fish in front of the fire.

She looks young, wearing smart travel clothes, her left eye is closed tightly, and she has a dragon wing tattoo on her upper eyelid.

The women here are all blind. Wuming opened his mouth and came.

I'm not blind. The woman replied.

Wuming checked himself and found that the packages on his body were intact. Blaze and Tuifu were also neatly dressed.

The ground in the lake area is always covered with puddles of water, which are kept dry and clean by being elevated by leaves and branches. If it is kept immersed in water, half of its body may rot.

You saved us? Wuming asked.

Hearing this, the woman poked her forehead and sighed helplessly:

Three people can actually faint from hunger. Is this how Toret sees it?

Torret is the name of a taifling horse, not much is known about it.

Are you Melina? Wuming said, The witch who lost her husband?

The witch who Tifu often mentioned was her, gave him the Holy Grail and the Spirit Horse, and made an agreement with him to go to the girl at the foot of the Golden Tree.

The woman nodded slightly, admitting it.

I've always heard him mention it before, but I've never seen it before. Wuming observed Melina curiously, It's strange that it's so common. Your body doesn't seem to be an entity.

I'm just a lonely soul. Melina's voice was ethereal.

Who isn't? Wuming said.

As he spoke, he unceremoniously picked up a piece of grilled fish, turned his back to Melina, lifted the mask, and stuffed it into his mouth.

I'm alive. Wuming touched his belly and let out a sigh of relief.

He stretched out his hand to Melina:

Thank you for your hard work. I'll bake it while you go and take a rest.

Melina subconsciously shrank her body and avoided Wuming's hand.

Oh, by the way, Tuifu said you don't like me. Wuming reacted, Why?

I don't know, Melina said, I just don't like it.

Then there is no reason. Wuming said, We must learn to overcome this inexplicable emotion.

I believe that emotions always have their reasons and origins. Melina insisted, You give me a very scary feeling.

Probably because you are a soul. Wuming Hammer said, Do you feel the attraction that comes from my soul? I can't help it, that's how charming you are.

Melina shrank again, the disgust on her face indicating that she was not shrinking for unknown reasons this time.

Melina retreated, but Wuming pressed forward step by step. He rushed to Melina's side and put his shield in front of him.

The strong water flow bombarded the shield, and the scattered water spray deflected along the slope of the shield surface, knocking the surrounding trees to pieces.

Such power. Wuming waved his hand.

The lobster, which has always been bigger than the giant bear, stood in the distance, exuding an aura comparable to that of a giant dragon.

Meat! Wuming shouted and rushed towards the lobster with his shield on his head.

But the water flow hit again. It was a water arrow sprayed from the lobster's mouth. The impact was extremely powerful. Although Wuming caught it, he was knocked back several meters.

The lobster raised its two large claws and pointed them at Wuming.

What is this for? Wuming was curious.

The claws closed instantly, and at the same time, a mass of air visible to the naked eye pressed towards Jia Wuming, overturning him and the surrounding soil.

That's too much. Is this a move that you, a shrimp, should know? Wuming rolled around on the ground to absorb the impact, but the result of his previous charge was in vain. He was now standing with Melina again. .

Melina took another step sideways, quietly moving away from Wuming.

Don't hold on to your emotions at this time, okay? Wuming said, My shield is only so big. I can't protect you if you stay far away.

They haven't woken up yet. You go and protect them. Only your shield can protect them. Melina said.

If we only defend, the shield won't be able to hold it. It can kill us. Wuming said.

I'll deal with it. Melina said, picking up a short knife and rushing over.

Melina took a roundabout way, away from the nameless direction of Tuefu, and then used the obstruction of the big tree and the cover of the falling leaves to keep approaching the lobster without revealing its figure.

The lobster never spurted out the violent water from its mouth, but its head pointed exactly in Melina's direction.

Wuming noticed ripples on the water-stained ground.

Several of the lobster's legs are stuck in the mud, feeling the slightest changes in the water.

Be careful, it will locate its location. Wuming shouted towards the hidden forest where the leaves were falling.

But it was too late. Sharp water arrows burst out of the lobster's mouth. The power at close range was even greater, directly penetrating the tree trunk and shooting at Melina behind the tree.

The trees shook violently, broken wood flew everywhere, and leaves fell one after another. Among the fallen leaves, a petite figure floated out, unscathed.

Only then did Wuming realize that Melina's quiet sideways movement was actually quite light. Almost every step moved a considerable distance, sticking to the water. Only some ripples were caused when she landed, and the ripples had not yet dispersed. Melina had already drifted to other places.

Neither the water arrows nor the hand cannons with large claws could touch Melina. The corners of her clothes fluttered in the wind. Melina flew close to the lobster and cut off the eyes on the protruding antennae with a knife.

The lobster moved wildly in pain, jumped up high, tried to suppress Melina with its size advantage, and cut Melina into pieces with its guillotine-like opponent's feet.

But Melina takes off with the lobster, grabbing its remaining eye.

Melina separated and pulled, and the other eye of the lobster was torn off, and she used the strength to jump higher than the lobster.

Under the moon, Melina twisted her waist and raised her knife, as if she was about to wield some huge and heavy weapon.

A round of golden sword light was thrown out from her small dagger, embedded at the junction of the lobster's head and body carapace, and was cut in two.

Melina dragged the big lobster with its head and body back to the campfire: Your meat.

Wuming applauded Melina:

You're so skilled. Are witches as strong as you? Now I understand why this kid, Tecai, can still walk in the border area.

Melina accepted the compliment expressionlessly and put the dagger to her waist.

Melina said: I am still observing. If he does not have the determination to challenge powerful enemies and become the king, and the potential for growth, I will not entrust myself to him.

Thrones are empty, food is real. Wuming grilled a giant lobster with familiarity, If you don't eat enough, how will you have the strength to become a king?

Wuming's craftsmanship was obviously much better than Melina's, and after a while Blaze and Tuifu started to smell the fragrance.
