The devastated explosion crater shows how big a disaster happened here just now. Historical relics that may have valuable historical value were blown into pieces and mixed with black rot. Within an area of several hundred meters
There were no plants in sight, and they were all torn apart and buried by the shock wave. Just when we were guessing whether the humans that Sandora had sensed before had been buried in the explosion, the black mound in the distance suddenly moved.
Then two gray-faced "people" emerged from inside.
What a tenacious vitality this is - calculated by ordinary standards.
Although the humanoid creature that emerged from the soil seemed to be still alive and kicking, its appearance had been completely destroyed by the explosion. All that could be seen was the remains of its clothes, which had almost turned into strips of cloth, and the hand in its hand.
The strange-shaped tool that had been broken, just glanced at it, and I still judged from the general figure of the other party that it should be two women...well, a creature that seemed to be a woman, because I suddenly found two thick ones behind the other party,
Resembling a lizard-like tail, the presence of these two tails is simply too strong and can be seen at a glance.
"Ahem, #!#￥%#&...#%#" The first humanoid creature to get up (please forgive me for using such rude words to describe the other person, because it seems that the other person's race is a bit strange) coughed heavily.
She got up and yelled something vaguely, with a hissing sound in her voice and a rather complaining tone, and then she (I think I can use "she" to refer to the other party for the time being) bent down and helped her.
His companion gave him a blow, and this time he finally heard what he said clearly: "Look at the good things you have done!"
Please let us remember that for us guys, language issues have never been a problem, especially after being mounted to the imperial database and able to instantly parse any kind of communication information. So don't study why we can understand each other.
What are you talking about? Besides, even if there is no such setting, please don’t forget that someone wanted to save trouble and let Chinese rule the multiverse long ago...
"Hey, at least everyone survived. Do you want to fight that stone man?" The person who was helped up seemed to be more severely affected by the explosion. His steps were wobbly when he stood up, but his voice sounded carefree and unconcerned.
Like her companions, she also had a hissing echo when she spoke, "Get out of this place quickly, God knows if there will be another stone man, the ancient city..."
The other party raised his head. Suddenly he saw a large group of people standing on the edge of the explosion crater, and his words stopped abruptly.
I looked at the other party innocently, and was about to explain that I was just passing by, but I didn't expect that the other party would take the first step to make a very vigilant posture, place the damaged tools or weapons in front of me, and hunch up. It seemed that he was ready at any moment.
I was about to launch an attack. Such a reaction made me stunned. I never expected that the other party would be such an aggressive guy, so I had to prepare for an unfriendly first contact. However, before I could make a move, the guy opposite me once again
The somewhat careless woman suddenly put down her posture and patted her companion on the shoulder: "Forget it, there are many of them, I will surrender first."
Her companion was stunned: "How do you know you can't beat us? We are half-dragons..."
"What kind of half-dragon?" The careless guy threw away the weapon in his hand that was so tattered that it had no effect at all. "He is almost half dead now, and the other party is also wandering in the ancient city. Do you think he is an ordinary person?"
"But surrendering like this...what's the glory of a half-dragon..."
"Hey!" I finally felt like I couldn't stand it anymore. I hadn't done anything yet. What did the other party mean by just taking so many steps on their own? "I said, we are not hostile. Are you a little bit...
Too nervous?"
The two gray-faced strangers in the distance were both stunned. Then they looked at each other and said, "That makes sense. It doesn't seem necessary to fight." Then they turned to look here again, and the one with a more carefree personality asked loudly: "You guys
What do you do? Explorer?"
"Passing by." I looked at the demographic composition of the group I was leading and found that it basically covered all age groups, even including a young girl (Little Bubble) who was biting her fingers, so I was really embarrassed to say that this was an adventure.
Team, "I took my family out to play, and accidentally saw this... uh, ruins, and then heard an explosion inside, so I rushed over to see the situation. You see, we are not hostile."
"Playing?" The other party looked at this side with a calm look, and combed his hair, and immediately dropped the dirt, "Coming to the ancient city to play? The most dangerous place in Miracle is basically the ancient city.
"
"Hey, wait Sona, they may have come up from the ancient garden." Before I could think of an explanation, the other party's companion actually found a reason for us, "We have been in the ancient city for almost half a month. It seems
Recently, the ancient city and the ancient garden are getting closer."
"Um, yes, we came from the grassland." I felt that the misunderstanding between the two parties was almost resolved, so I nodded quickly, "Fu... the ancient city is quite close to the grassland, and it is not difficult to get up.
He can be considered a relatively skilled mage."
I heard from Vanilla that there is a magic system in this world, and mages are a more respected profession, so I made up an identity for myself temporarily. Of course, it’s okay not to mention my identity, but I think since I want to be in this world more
After two days of fun, it would be better to establish a good relationship with the first aboriginal person you meet: and you can’t waste the local folk costumes you prepared before departure, right?
"Mage?" The other party seemed to be surprised, not sure if it was their own misunderstanding. For a moment, hostility surged out of them again, but they soon relaxed, but their tone became very stiff, "Okay, Master Mage,
It makes sense to have some strange hobbies. Sorry, we have other things to do, so we won’t be accompanying a few adults."
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Bingtis suddenly shouted, "What do you do?"
"I'm just an explorer, just hanging my head and trying to make a living." The stranger with a bold personality was already a little impatient, "What else do you adults have to do?!"
"That is to say, there is no fixed itinerary, right?" Bingtis rolled his eyes and smiled, "Now there are only two places to go to, the ancient city and the ancient garden, and it seems that you have finished your activities in the ruins. Why don't you guys
Going on the road together? We are wandering around anyway, so there is no problem in following you."
The other party looked at us with obvious doubts and distrust, and then chatted in a low voice. The woman formerly known as Sona nodded: "That's strange, do you really have a mage among you? A mage wouldn't do this.
...Okay, anyway, nothing will happen for a few days. If you are willing to follow, you can follow, but we have agreed that the two of us are just 'vulgar', 'unruly' and 'risking our lives' to have a casual adventure.
It’s just family. If it’s really Master Master, I hope you can bear it.”
I don't know what happened, but it seemed that the other party's impression of us suddenly dropped a lot, and he seemed to be disgusted with the word "mage", but I didn't pay much attention to it. I just smiled in a friendly way. I was so dissatisfied with this weird world.
I am getting more and more curious. So I really want to communicate with the locals first. I plan to shake hands with them when they get closer, but before that I can't help but remind them: "What, you don't need to deal with it first."
one time?"
The power of the explosion just now was not small. The clothes on the other party were in tatters. Although the underwear was still intact and no spring was exposed, the curves of the large areas of skin on the body were basically exposed, and there were also
It's because of the humus soil in the forest that you can't even see their true colors. To be honest, I'm really embarrassed to look at them...
The other party seemed to have noticed his condition at this time, and immediately protected his body with both hands and took two steps back. He seemed surprised when he realized that several men in our team had already turned their heads and looked elsewhere, and then his tone was kind.
Click: "We will meet later."
Then the two of them quickly jumped behind the bushes not far away: they were really running and jumping, and they were as agile as animals and dodged into the plants. Then after waiting for a while, I said to Bingtis
: "Did you notice that they seem to have scales in some places on their bodies?"
"What's weird?" Bingtis patted Lin hard. "Here is a girl covered in scales. Her name is Lin."
Me: "..." Lin: "..." Sister Bing is always so sharp!
"Their tails feel so weird," Qianqian looked at the sky from the corner of her eyes, thinking. "Does it look like a lizard's? Or a dragon's? There are also scales on it. Their pants are probably custom-made..."
Qian Qian's focus is always on places you don't expect. You have to be careful not to let this girl hurt people's self-esteem with her nonsense. And while we were discussing these two strange women from another world, from the opposite side
There were light footsteps from behind the bushes, and two new "partners" who had already arranged their clothes and dealt with the dirt on their bodies walked out from behind carrying a huge package.
It turned out that the two pieces of rag clothes that had been turned into works of art seemed to have been thrown away by them. Both of them put on simple brown casual clothes: a leather waistcoat made of some kind of animal fur, and a waistcoat that was as short as the thigh.
Animal skin shorts were all the clothes on the two of them, and they looked very wild. They seemed to have just wiped the dirt off their bodies and faces, and they still looked a little dirty, but they could finally see their appearance clearly.
I was surprised to find that they turned out to be two quite young girls, with facial features that were somewhat close to those of Eurasian mixed race. Their noses were very high, their lips were thin, and they had a bit of natural purple-red color. Their appearance could not be said to be...
They are particularly beautiful, but after washing their faces, they should be considered youthful and beautiful. They all have eyes that are completely different from humans: they are golden, like vertical pupils like snakes. This is what they have on them except for their tails.
The most eye-catching part. There are two girls. One has long, slightly curly brown hair, and the other has short shawl hair of the same color. I can tell that the one with long hair is the one whose name was called before.
, should be called Sona, her personality seems to be a little more stable, while the other girl with short hair is a little jumpy: she just made the decision to surrender in an instant.
My eyes couldn't help but fall on several places on their bodies: arms, necks, and outer thighs... I swear to Dingdang that my eyes were very pure. The reason why I noticed these places was because I found the outer sides of their arms.
The sides of the neck to the position close to the ears, and the outer thighs are covered with a little light blue scale-like things, but they do not appear obtrusive at all, but blend naturally with the surrounding skin. If you don't look carefully
, it could even be mistaken for some kind of wild tattoo. Finally, my eyes fell on the two slightly swinging tails behind them. They were the only places on their bodies that were covered with scales. They were slender at the tip and thick at the root.
I think it must be quite painful to be slapped by that thing.
The short-haired girl looked at me dissatisfied, as if she had finally had enough of the stranger's rude gaze, and made a threatening "hiss" sound in her mouth: "Hiss - when are you going to see me? Powerful mage'
Master'? Hiss——"
I suddenly realized that my gaze was quite rude, especially to two young girls, so I quickly apologized, saying that I usually see a lot of weird races in Shadow City.
Why is it still unclear? But as soon as I thought of this, Qian Qian jumped over next to her, and hesitated with her paws next to her tail: "Well, can I touch it? Can I touch it?"
Facts have proved that with such a living treasure by my side, I never have to worry about being the least upright person...
The two lizard girls (?) were already impatient with my gaze, let alone the blatant teasing of Qianqian. They immediately jumped two meters back and stared at us in a blocking posture: "Take it easy.
Be respectful! We are free people!”
I quickly pulled Qianqian, pressed the girl's head and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, this is my wife, she has this problem, she is very excited sometimes. So, let me introduce myself, my surname is Chen..."
Next, I introduced myself and my group to each other, of course I only mentioned their names. As for their identities, except for mentioning that I was a traveling mage, the others were all traveling companions who came with me. After I introduced myself, that person
The short-haired lizard girl immediately waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I can't remember more than three names. I'll just ask you temporarily when I talk to any of you. My name is Sakina, and the one next to you is
It's my partner, Sona, a guy with a bit of a hard-headed mind. As for his identity, you've also seen him, an explorer. He wanders around and has no fixed abode. You guys are quite interesting, and you have children? And you also lead
A mage who travels with so many people... you are really a weird guy."
The girl who called herself Sakina had just finished speaking, and Sona next to her suddenly emphasized to us in a very serious tone: "We are half-dragons with pure blood, and we are free people. So I hope you can remember this.
point."
"Half-dragon?" Bingtis looked at the other party with interest and poked Lin's arm, "Hey, smell it and see if it smells like your own." Lin scratched her head in confusion: "This is not a concept.
All right."
Sakina tightened the big backpack on her back and prepared to set off. She glanced at her partner and said, "I told you, Sona is a little confused - eh, why don't you have any other reaction?"
"Other reaction?" I was confused.
"Other people usually laugh when they hear us calling ourselves half-dragons... Forget it, you look weird too. Let's go and leave the forest quickly. According to the cyclical calendar, the ancient city and the ancient garden overlap for only one day. I can
I don’t want to stay in this damn place for another half month.”
I suppressed the doubts in my heart and led the family to follow each other. These two "half-dragon" girls were obviously much more familiar with the forest environment than we were, and they were actually able to find a path that was barely worthy of being called in such a messy environment.
Although I really wanted to tell the other party that an easy road leading directly to the edge of the floating island had just appeared here an hour ago: a short winter melon was cut horizontally and vertically, but in the end I didn't say it because
It seems that the path they chose is also a shortcut.
"Several groups of explorers have already walked this road. It's relatively safe. There may be stone men in other places, and encountering them would be a big problem. By the way, it looks like you guys should be able to deal with the stone men," the short-haired man said.
Sakina seems to be a girl who talks a lot. Although she always looked unhappy, she soon started talking on her own. And the stone people she mentioned, I guess, should be the guardians of these ruins.
, maybe it’s a magic puppet, “By the way, that little girl sitting on your shoulder is the puppet you made? Only you mages would do this kind of thing, so…”
Mercury Lamp immediately started shouting with bared teeth and claws: "Who is the devil? Who is the devil? Who is the devil?"
I quickly comforted the irritable Rose Girl and explained with a smile: "No, this is my daughter. She is an alchemy doll for some reasons. She has a soul and is quite mischievous, but she is definitely not a magic doll."
, the mercury lamp grabbed my hair and pulled it out fiercely, but it did not deny her identity as a daughter. It seemed that she was just dissatisfied with the "very naughty" comment. By the way, this girl couldn't hear the fatherly love in my tone.
A sense of pride...
"Oh, it seems you are a pretty good alchemist." Sakina muttered casually and continued to lead the way.
Before setting off, I considered whether a mercury lamp, which is 92.3cm tall and has wings that makes it look like it is not a human being, could be taken outside. I also consulted with Vanilla. Vanilla didn’t know much, but she felt there was no problem. She was living
It is said that there are a large number of strange races in the world, and there are also some weird mages and wizards who even secretly transform other creatures. The mercury lamp can only make people curious, but it will not be listed as the focus of the interview, so this time Xiaodeng followed
It was rare that the family went out to play without being packed in the travel bag. It seemed that Vanilla was right. The half-dragon girl named Sakina just muttered a few words and no longer cared about whether it was a golem or a doll.
.
Soon, we arrived at the edge of the floating island, and the endless prairie appeared in front of us again. Sakina and Sona took out a strange "rope" with many roots at the end from the big backpack, and tied the rope with roots.
Throwing one end of the rope on the ground, the roots immediately grew rapidly and penetrated deeply into the ground, while the other end of the rope began to lengthen rapidly - it turned out that this was actually a plant.
"We don't know magic, so we can only go down in such a rude way." Sakina hummed and threw the growing end of the rope off the floating island. When it was almost grown, she sprinkled it on its aerial roots.
Apply some pale medicinal powder to stop the rope from growing. It seems that they used this to leave the floating island. And our method of getting down was obviously more powerful: Qianqian raised his head, and a large group of young ones jumped up with joy.
Go down, closely followed by the five people of the God Clan. Lin Xue and Sandora smiled at me and jumped down too... In the end, there was only one person left who didn't dare to jump, but she is no longer the same now.
In the past, I silently recited the levitation technique learned from school and then flew down leisurely in the wind.
Sakina and Sona were both frightened by the sight of a dozen people jumping off the floating island like dumplings, especially when they saw little ones like Little Bubble jumping down with the adults.
She even exclaimed, and when I was the only one left who had not yet gone down, Sakina had finally organized her words: "Your children all grew up feeding people magic potions, right?"
"Those naughty kids are so bold when they get excited," I shrugged helplessly, "Can I take you two down?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the two half-dragon girls immediately grabbed the rope and slid down. It was then that I added the second half of the sentence: "I won't jump directly..."
