Hearing Jiang Yu's questioning, Zheng Qing suddenly felt a little dazed.
Unconsciously, it has been more than two years since the first black gem cat left.
Two years ago, in the world of the sea of clouds, Mr. took out the 'soul' of the first black gem cat and sacrificed it to the forbidden curse book, so that Zheng Qing could safely use the forbidden curse at a very low level.
strength.
It won't be like when I was a freshman, where I was exploded by the power of the curse because I used it without authorization.
However, as an ordinary clone, the black gem cat's 'soul' power is not enough after all, and the use time obtained by sacrifice is also limited. Therefore, Zheng Qing later raised a few more black gem cats for backup.
.
"——Your gem is here."
Zheng Qing took out the 'remnants' of the first black gem cat from the gray cloth bag. While carefully staring at the big hammer carried by the little white cat, he honestly explained the cause and effect. In the end, he expressed it very sincerely.
Guilt: "Anyway, I'm very sorry!"
Looking at the dark stone that had lost its luster and still had a very clear crack on it, the witch's expression softened significantly. She didn't care about it, but looked very happy.
"It's a good thing if I can help." As she spoke, she glanced at the hairy dragon bracelet that the boy was still wearing on his wrist. She became more and more satisfied. She glanced at the three little black cats lying on Zheng Qing's shoulders and added
Said: "——I will find you a few more gems with abundant spiritual energy later. It will be easier to warm and nurture them."
This was said in an understatement, but in the ears of those three little black cats, it sounded malicious.
Fortunately, Zheng Qing noticed something was wrong early, shook his shoulders slightly, and shook the three little black cats who were about to speak back into his hood.
"——This gem." He weighed the 'remnants' of the first black gem cat in his hands and hesitated whether to return it to Jiang Yu.
Before he could make up his mind, he heard a loud thud at his feet.
Boom!
The little white cat slammed the hammer on the ground, creating a circle of beautiful spider web-like cracks on a piece of intact blue brick. Then she didn't say anything and just stared at the boy.
Zheng Qing was a little flustered by her sight. He hesitated and tentatively handed over the remains of the black gem in his hand: "——How about you help keep this gem?"
The little white cat stood upright with its ears drooped, holding the gemstone with both hands, jumped up, and disappeared into Jiang Yu's hood in a flash of white light.
The two young wizards looked at each other.
I always feel that the atmosphere is a little weird.
At this moment, Zheng Qing's ears moved slightly, and he frowned and looked at the direction of the door: "——Did you hear anything?"
"Sound?" Jiang Yu also frowned and listened.
——Dingle bell!
The faint and crisp sound of bells, accompanied by the night wind, spread intermittently into the yard.
Jingle bell——
"Where did the ringtone come from?"
Dylan turned back alertly. As a vampire werewolf, he had very keen hearing and could easily pick up on the discordant sounds coming from the silent forest.
Along with his alertness.
The Atonement Hunters who were originally scattered at the door immediately distanced themselves from each other and launched a nested magic circle that was both offensive and defensive. Everyone's attention was focused on the direction Dylan was alert to.
In the quiet night, the dark silent forest is like the open mouth of Leviathan, swallowing up all concepts that do not belong to this forest - from the moonlight falling in the sky to the whispered conversations of young wizards - but there is no trace of it.
It can swallow up the intermittent crisp ringtone.
No, it's more than just ringtones.
Just as the Forgiveness Hunters were on alert, a floating orange-red light spot vaguely appeared in the darkness. It was like a lost light bug, slowly and swaying through the darkness.
In the next second, a tongue pops out of the darkness and is rolled into the stomach, making people sweat for it unconsciously.
But everyone's worries did not materialize after all.
The orange light was still steady, getting closer to the location of the abandoned palace.
And as it gets closer, the crisp ringing becomes clearer and clearer.
At this point, no one will mistakenly think that the light spot belongs to a certain light bug. As for whether it is the one eye of a monster or a will-o'-the-wisp lantern passed by Yin soldiers, no one knows the correct answer until it gets closer.
"——Someone knock on the door and remind our two captains that there seems to be an uninvited guest in the woods."
Xiao Xiao sat in the center of the battle formation, giving orders while frowning at the slightly shiny crystal ball in front of him - the smooth sphere reflected clouds of mist of varying shades, reminding the fortune teller that the hunting team was now in very danger.
In the environment, it's just that the fog was already there before the ringtone and orange light spots appeared.
In other words, because You Zui is now in the depths of the Silent Forest, the surrounding environment must be dangerous. The appearance of the bell and the orange light dot did not make the situation worse.
"——No need to knock on the door, we heard it."
The wooden door behind the battle formation was quietly opened. Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu walked out of the door one behind the other. The yellow civet, who had slipped away without knowing where, followed happily with his tail raised.
This gave Zheng Qing a little bad feeling.

But before he could carefully consider the flash of uneasiness, he noticed the strange looks from around him.
Fatty Xin nudged Xiao Xiao's side and sighed in a 'very small' voice: "——Doctor, what you said is indeed reasonable. This person is indeed rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and can withstand beatings very well!"
Zhang Yudou looked up and down and added: "There is dust on the head and wrinkles on the clothes...but the face is clean and there is no injury. Is this the benefit of being thick-skinned?"
When Zheng Qing heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Jiang Yuze coughed softly and explained: "——I was helping Zheng Qing demolish his house just now. His yard is going to be demolished and rebuilt. There is nothing like what you think."
She said it very sincerely.
This is basically true.
But at this moment, no one believes it. Sometimes people's hearts are so funny. The more explanations you have for things you haven't done, the more guilty you seem to be. If you have done things as if nothing happened, no one will doubt it - just like at this moment, everyone
I believe that she just beat Zheng Qing violently, and her cover up at this moment was to prevent Zheng Qing from being embarrassed.
As the old saying goes, everyone only wants to believe what they believe.
Jingle bell bell!
The sound of the bell getting closer and closer interrupted the interlude in front of the door.
"Hey little star!"
A small white star rose from the hunting array, illuminating a radius of several miles and completely covering the orange spot, exposing its existence.
The orange light spot belongs to a small orange lamp.
The little orange lantern belongs to a round pumpkin cart.
The pumpkin cart was pulled by four big furry white mice, and the driver was a very familiar companion of the young wizards, Ding Dong Ears who also belonged to the Exoneration Hunting Team.
The tension that filled the door gradually dissipated.
Instead, the young hunters exchanged sparkling looks.
