The third volume, Chapter 164 of the Dragon Plains Ancient Land, is all cannon fodder
Over the years, I have also broken into the nests and territories of some powerful demon beasts, and there are about a few of the same characteristics, the first is that there is a strong smell of blood, and the second is that animals are rarely seen in the places where they live, especially when they sleep, probably because of fear.
Life is truly a miraculous thing, and its birth has always been a mystery that scientists want to solve. The ancient dragons are all dead, but the trees here are still lush, but there are no animals in sight, and it feels like a huge botanical garden.
"Shanzi, it doesn't seem to be the same as what Lingyan said." The fat man muttered.
I nodded, and was about to speak, when the line in front of me suddenly stopped, and then I heard someone shouting a few words. Ah Ba walked over from the front of the line, and waved at me from several people and shouted, "Come here, Ba Xiaoshan, you guys come here!" ”
I was still a little surprised, and I squeezed through the crowd and followed him to the front of the line to take a look, and then I understood why the line stopped.
Directly ahead, hidden among the great canopy and grass, a terrifying skull struck us all, the skull of a dragon, entwined with vines and bones remaining. But it's still staggeringly large, with hollow eyes and a gaping mouth that opens like a cave, as if to show how powerful it once was.
"It's a dead keel!" I shouted.
At this time, a circle of people from the Ling family next to him surrounded them, in an orderly manner, some of them were carrying weapons to guard, and some of them took out various instruments to inspect and survey. I stood on the side and watched, my brow furrowed slightly. It's not the first time I've seen a keel, this dragon is also huge, judging from the well-preserved wings, it should be nearly thirty meters long. But the only thing I felt was wrong was why the dragon's bones didn't look like any damage.
One of the most vulnerable parts of the ancient dragon is the neck part, and the other is the wing part, especially where the wings are connected to the body, and the bones here are also relatively brittle. If the dragon had been attacked and killed, the wings would have been the first to be attacked, but it now appears that the wings are well preserved and the bones have no obvious fatal injuries. In other words, it does not seem that its death was killed, but that it was born and died of illness? What disease can kill an ancient dragon?
This was the first ancient dragon skeleton ever found, and it was so far from our entrance that it would take some time to study and collect samples, and it was already dark, so they proposed to rest here.
More than a hundred people rested in different groups, and a few of us originally wanted to sit next to us alone, but obviously the people of the Ling family were not worried about us, so Ah Ba opened his mouth to let us stay with the people of their group.
The campfire is lit and looks warm and cozy in the dark primeval forest. I leaned on my backpack to nibble on the steamed buns I brought, and the group of people in Aba was quite interesting. All of them are dressed up in a very "fashionable", of course, the kind that I can't accept. After lighting the campfire, Aba took the lead in singing, humming and chirping pop songs.
Speaking of which, I didn't listen to much songs in the 90s, and occasionally listened to one or two Teresa Teng songs. Campus songs began to become popular among young people, as well as the songs of Gao Xiaosong, the old wolf of Qi Qin, and I also listened to them, but many of them were heard on the radio, and I couldn't name them, but I felt that the tone was brisk and catchy.
Aba takes the lead in singing Hong Kong beyond songs, I know this group, it is said to be rock but it is actually a lyrical song. There are a few songs that are quite good.
"Forgive me for my indulgence and love of freedom in this life, and I am afraid that one day I will fall......"
I looked at the firelight, and a few people next to Ah Ba sneaked some wine in, which is not allowed by the Ling family, after all, they have to take turns on duty at night What if they are drunk. But as I could see, this group of people was different from the rest of the spirits, singing pop songs, holding bottles high and cheering. I look at it and want to laugh, every family has some strange people.
Ah Ba sat next to me, patted me on the shoulder and said, "I heard that you killed the senior of the Shui Ya University in the first place, is it really fake?" ”
I was stunned, her question seemed to be what many people here wanted to ask, I hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, it was several years ago." ”
Everyone was interested, and Ah Ba hurriedly asked, "How did you kill it?" Tell us about it. ”
I smiled bitterly, it was a great luck at the beginning, and I don't remember the specific situation myself, so I waved my hand and said, "At that time, it was luck, and I can't count it." By the way, you guys can also be regarded as the battle sequence of the Ling family? ”
"Haha, don't look at us weird, that's because we see the world differently than you do. My advanced Ling family, mixed food and became a doorman, these are all friends who used to play with me, haha...... "Ah Ba, this person is quite cheerful after drinking, shouting at the top of his throat.
"Is the Ling family's treatment good?" The fat man interjected.
"It's good, it's just not a day out. What do you say? You have also seen the Ling family, the upper echelons will always be the people of the Ling family, and those of us who are guests are thugs to put it bluntly. I'm going to make a lot of money in the Ling family, and then I'll find a way to go home and retire. Let me tell you, all the hundreds of people who came in today are not valued by the Ling family. To put it mildly, we are cannon fodder, and there is a reward for getting the baby back, and it's not bad if we can't get it alive. Hehe, do you know why I want to drink? I thought before I came in, and only one-third of the people could get out alive, that is to say, there were more than 100 people here, and only about 30 people could get out alive. "I'm not surprised by his words, I can see from the fact that the spirit group did not send elites, we are cannon fodder, pathfinders, and only after the route is stepped on the point will the elites come in to seize the treasure.
"But I won you guys, and I offered to put you in my group." Ah Ba reached out and handed over two bottles of beer, but the fat man politely refused.
"You asked for it?" I asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, the other groups feel that it is too troublesome to bring you to be responsible for monitoring your every move, and it is not a good errand, but I know your name, and I also know that you must have real skills in killing the senior of the Great Lady. If you can be in our group, we have a better chance of surviving in the future. Hehe......" He was right, I was slightly stunned, and smiled: "You're quite interesting." ”
"Me and my friends don't have much ability, but you have a lot of ability, hehe, don't worry, you won't be poisoned. If I poison you to death, who will protect me and my brothers! He shoved the bottle over as he spoke, and I hesitated before taking the beer.
"Fat man, drink."
In this world, I'd rather deal with straightforward people because I'm not tired. Those who hide everything in the depths of their hearts are even more terrifying.
With a beer, I hid in my sleeping bag and prepared to get confused. After about two or three hours, there was a strange smell wafting from the surrounding forest, and I was very alert when I was sleeping, but I immediately opened my eyes. It was quiet, and there was no movement except for a few voices talking. The air was weird, and the night breeze felt sharp. I looked back at Luo Qiong, this kid had also woken up, his eyes were glaring, and he whispered, "Brother Shan, there is a smell of blood in the air." ”
I nodded and said, "You wake up the fat man, and I'll inform Aba." ”
I got up and walked to Ah Ba's side, patted him who was sleepy, he looked at me strangely, I made a silent gesture and whispered: "There is a situation, wake up your group and get ready for battle." ”
Ah Ba was stunned, immediately nodded at me, and then called the sleeping team members one by one, just as he was about to notify the other groups, a loud roar suddenly came from the woods, and then the guard on duty realized that there was a big problem, and hurriedly turned around and shouted, but it was too late. Several terrifying black giants rushed in from the woods and rushed into the crowd like crazy, all of them were about three meters tall, with dark skin and burly bodies, and they looked exactly like the monsters Lingyan was talking about!
