Chapter Twenty-Four: Passing By

()(There shouldn’t be much going on starting tomorrow, and updates will be speeded up.)

Congcao Village, a small village in Chenxi Prairie.

At noon that day, a strange boy wearing a straw hat passed by. Of course, he was Xia Han, who had transformed into a pure-blooded elf.

Xia Han in the elf form and the human form are two completely opposite people. He simply wore a hat to cover his ears. No one suspected that he had anything to do with the little princess of the empire.

"Uncle, give me two pieces of cooking cake."

Xia Han generously bought cooking cakes on the road, then found a table to sit down and rest.

"Little guy, are you alone?" The owner of the cake shop brought the cakes. He looked at Xia Han, who was white and tender and handsome, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes.

In this world, only those who come from a wealthy family can have such a body without any scars. However, Xia Han only wears simple gray clothes, which is obviously not a valuable thing.

[A little nobleman who ran away from home?]

This boss is just an ordinary villager. Although he feels strange, he doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.

"Uncle!" However, Xia Han stopped him when he turned around. The blond boy put a few silver coins on the table and asked, "I heard that there is a place in the south called the Mist Hill.

It has been shrouded in thick fog for many years, can you tell me the specific direction?"

The boss looked at the silver coins on the table and swallowed, but Xia Han's question made him frown: "You want to go to the Mist Hill? The fog there dispersed a few years ago. It's not very safe now. I advise you.

You don’t want to go.”

Unsafe?

Xia Han raised his eyebrows, and the boss continued to explain: "It was blocked by the army a few days after the fog lifted. In recent years, many outsiders who heard about the treasure wanted to go in and have a look, but they all died inside."

This answer was pretty much what Xia Han expected.

After he was taken away by Wujing, he had not heard any news about the Mist Hill. However, this incident was very abnormal. The king must have sent someone to investigate when he found out that two subordinates were dead. They should not ignore the treasure of Qilin.

.

Now it seems that Xia Ming must have blocked the area and information immediately after discovering Qilin. Perhaps he has been exploring ways to obtain Qilin's power over the years, but he certainly has not found any results.

It's a power that even the giant dragon can't accept. It's strange that they can find the result so quickly.

"Thank you, I'd better not go then!" Xia Han handed the silver coins to the boss and seemed a little disappointed: "Compared to treasures, life is more important."

The boss smiled and accepted the silver coin, saying yes repeatedly.

After Xia Han finished eating the cooking cakes, he left the village and walked south along the road. Three sneaky people followed him. Xia Han recognized these three people. They had just had lunch at the table next to them.

Traveler.

[Greed caused by a few silver coins?]

Xia Han guessed their purpose, but was not afraid. After all, they were not powerful professionals.

So when he walked for more than ten minutes and found that these people were still following him, he finally couldn't help but turned around and said, "You want to follow me as long as you want, but if you want to do it, hurry up, if you don't do it, leave as soon as possible!"

The three people were stunned.

In fact, it's not that they didn't want to take action earlier, but that there was always an abnormal feeling lingering in the hearts of several people, which made them dare not take action easily.

"Brother...Brother, I finally realized something was wrong!"

"What's wrong, third brother?"

Two of the three people lowered their voices to talk, and their words surprised Xia Han. Only then did he realize that these stalkers were brothers who looked similar.

"Brother, you see it's so hot today. We're all covered in sweat, but this kid...he's wearing a hat, but there's not even a drop of sweat on his body!"

This person is right. Although it is September now, the summer heat has not completely subsided. It is a very strange phenomenon for Xia Han to not sweat while walking.

"Tsk, I was discovered..."

At this time, Xia Han suddenly pressed his hat and sighed: "I can't help it after being discovered. I admit, I just--"

His figure suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of the three of them, and the air suddenly turned cold: "Ghost!"

"Ahhhhh, big brother (third brother)!!"

Two of the three people hugged each other and fainted on the ground.

He had such courage to come out for robbery - Xia Han raised his head and looked at the last person. This second brother, who had been silent all this time, was obviously calmer than his brothers and looked at Xia Han calmly.

"Hello." A hand made of ice appeared from Xia Han's head and waved to the second brother, but his eyes remained very calm.

"Master Mage?"

He asked calmly. It seemed that Xia Han's little tricks were of no use to him. However, mages were not a rare thing. Being able to scare two people was beyond Xia Han's expectation.

"Yes." Xia Han nodded, then glanced at the two people on the ground: "Take them away!"

The second brother immediately lowered his head to express his gratitude: "Thank you."

Although he was thanking him, he remained calm. When he took away the two brothers, his eyes showed no mercy at all - you know, he dragged them away one by one. Xia Han looked at the poor two brothers.

He was dragged away with his face on the ground, thinking that the appearance of these two people was ruined.

After the episode, Xia Han walked south again. He forgot about these three people in the blink of an eye, and never expected that he would have many contacts with these people in the future.

In the Misty Hill a few years ago, when Xia Han walked here, he found knights patrolling around. Some newly built city walls surrounded the ruins of the Human King. The place was tightly guarded - and there were many terrifying auras coming from inside.

Xia Han believed that he was no match for these aura masters, and his true strength was still weak.

"The time has not come yet, but...Xia Yun will definitely come here soon..."

After stopping and watching for a while, Xia Han continued walking south and passed by the ruins of the Human King... It's not the time yet, but this place will soon become the focus of countless people.

However, at this time, Xia Han was not the only guest who also came to the Misty Hill.

"This place was shrouded in fog at first. The little guy came in and didn't know what he did. Then the fog lifted."

"But he can't be here now, we'd better go to the Emerald City to see it!"

A group of people wearing cloaks also looked at the surrounded ruins, talked for a few words and then walked north.

The two groups passed each other again...

But in the Demon Bone Desert on the other side of the Qilin Continent, the two huge forces were not lucky enough to pass by each other. When the Emerald Empire's more than 200,000 troops were about to leave the desert, they heard the sound of horns coming from all directions.

.

Small green dots began to appear in the dry desert. These small dots quickly shortened the distance and became larger and larger, and the whole earth roared...

A bloody and horrific war began, but from the beginning... it was just massacre.
