When Jianxiu came to the Western Fantasy Continent

Sarn felt as if he had walked into a cloud of fog. His eyes could still see and his ears could still hear, but his consciousness was in chaos, unable to distinguish the distance between reality and illusion.Limbs became heavy and stiff, completely uncontrollable, as if a transparent barrier appeared out of thin air, separating his soul from his body.

what happened to him?

Sarn was thinking hard, as if thinking about this matter had become the heaviest burden for him.But he didn't give up, just persistently tearing away at that layer of fog, anxiety and anger overflowing his body and mind, as well as unspeakable fear.He always felt that there was something hidden behind it that he could not forget or give up...

As the fog was torn apart, he seemed to think of something, the dangerous journey underground, the huge echo of the cave collapse, the corpse lying at his feet, the sound of the wind when it fell straight down, the bronze bell, the dazzling white light ... Also, the color of fresh blood, soaked in the silvery-white dagger, dripping along the complicated pattern, the look of astonishment in the two-way slanted eyebrows... No, there must be something wrong!He wouldn't do this to him, he couldn't... a figure broke into the mist, laughing wildly, a beautiful drow woman, a giant eight-legged spider, a monster waving its tentacles like a melting wax pile...

Melting Wax Demon!mind control! !

Sann jumped up from the ground suddenly, his eyes full of fear.He remembered, he had encountered Waxmelt in the tunnel, what had that evil minion of the Spider Queen done to him?That dagger!That puff of blood!

A hand was placed on his shoulder, and he was gently pushed back, a gentle voice came from the bottom of his heart.

"Fear not, I'm here."

Following the direction touched by his thoughts, Sarn raised his head. This is a cave, with a few faint lights dotted with shimmering moss. Under the turquoise halo, there is a man sitting in front of him, holding a She stared at him with a relieved expression.

Hong Ming... San's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.The sight in front of him made his throat feel terribly uncomfortable, as if something suffocating was stuffed into it.The spotless black robe became messy, the sleeves were torn, the front was cut by a knife blade, and the snow-white inner clothing was covered with black and red blood, as well as the unique blue blood of illithids. Yingying glows.The black hair on his head has long been out of shape, only a bun is tied crookedly behind his head, and a few strands of hair hang down to his ears. Even his fair and flawless face is soaked in dust and sweat, mixed with blood. ...

He has been with this man for three full years, he is familiar with all the habits of this man, and he understands that this man's magic power is enough to avoid dust and blood, and keep himself clean and bright forever.He should have stood in a place beyond the reach of mortals, more proud than a mage, more awe-inspiring than a priest, standing outside the laws of the world with the aloofness enough to look down on the common people, instead of the dirty and embarrassing appearance he is now... Saarn His eyes flickered, and when he looked down, he saw an inch-sized hole in the clothes on Hong Ming's waist, pierced through layers, and the dried blood made the thick black robe a little stiff.

A burst of colic tightened Sann's heart, did he make Hong Ming fall into such a state?He had vowed to protect this person's safety, so that he could safely fulfill his wish in this damn dark region, but now, it was himself who ruined everything!

Seemingly aware of Saen's emotions, Hong Ming said slowly, "You can still do this while suffering from the soul-absorbing spell. You have tried your best. Don't take it to heart, it's not your fault at all."

"Do your best?" Bitterness filled Sarn's heart, "I hurt you when you were completely defenseless, I can use some spiritual barriers, if I can then..."

"It can't be better." The hand on Sarn's shoulder moved away slowly, unconsciously swept across his cheek, and pinned a strand of blood-stained silver hair behind his ear. "You have at least three enchanted daggers on your body. If you use all your strength, even I can't dodge it. But you only used it intermittently..."

Hong Ming paused, showing a slight smile, "It's useless sword energy, useless magic power, it's just a white blade, even a magic weapon that I refined myself, so it can't kill me. Your resistance struggle is actually beyond You are beyond your own imagination, facing an irresistible and powerful enemy, you have achieved the ultimate."

Cold fingers rubbed the tips of his ears, Sarn stared blankly at the man in front of him, although he was embarrassed and dirty, something seemed to wash away the burden on him, and the sense of distance that made him helpless was gently erased , leaving only the warm and soft determination in his eyes.

The cave was terribly quiet, and the slight breathing and heartbeat sounds became so abrupt in this silence, Sarn suddenly felt a little parched, heat poured down from the tip of his ear that was touched lightly, and even his heartbeat It's all becoming a little uncontrollable... No, it's not the time yet!He clenched his fists fiercely, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally calmed down.They are still on the run, and the man in front of him has obviously exhausted all his mana, and he can't even maintain his posture, so how can he be distracted by such things!

Sarn blinked, and suppressed those turbulent thoughts, "What happened just now? I see that there is blood of illithids on your clothes, have they chased you too?"

Hong Ming nodded slightly, "After killing the wax melting demon, four more illithids appeared."

Four!Sarn's heart twitched violently, which was beyond his imagination, not to mention the amount of mana needed to kill the terrifying Waxmelt, facing four illithids who are good at psychic attacks and their countless puppet guards, And to protect myself in a coma...

"How do you do it? Your mana..."

"At the last moment, I opened up the water veins, and the five elements united to activate the Falling Soul Bell, killing those enemies." The sound transmission froze, with a bit of astringency, "It's a pity that my body was exhausted at that time, I just I can take you to trek here and take refuge for a while."

"You... how long have I been in a coma?"

"About a day. I walked for half a day, and I was really exhausted, so I had to stop here first. Not far ahead should be the karst cave when I came here. I already have some impressions of the road here."

Sarn just felt speechless and exhausted... Does this mean that besides the exhaustion of mana, he also exhausted his physical strength?Just to take myself away from that battlefield, I gritted my teeth and walked for a long time, and guarded my side carefully, instead of entering meditation to restore mana... At this time, looking at that messy and bloody body, it is not difficult to imagine the tragedy and persistence contained in it.

He also wanted to protect me, even if it cost him his life.

Enthusiasm surged, Sarn blinked hard, "Where is the Waxmelt around? When it attacked me, were there some drow warriors blocking your footsteps? What about them?"

"A few drow mages appeared, but when the illithids arrived, they disappeared, maybe they were still lying in wait..."

"No, no more." San shook his head resolutely, "No matter who is using this trick, he will not be involved in this trouble again. Getting the artifact will not do them any good, they have already offended Wax The melting demon also missed the best time to obtain the artifact. Now it is better to keep the secret about the artifact with the wax melting demon, and then pass the responsibility to the spirit sucker. Otherwise, no one will be able to bear the punishment of the spider queen..."

Sann lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Illithids are not a prolific race, and they lost enough manpower this time. Hunting us only consumed four, and the battle against Samarien City must also consume a lot. It is very likely that we will not be able to gather manpower in the short term. We still have some time, you restore your mana as soon as possible, we..."

At this moment, there was a sound of friction between stones and sharp claws in the tunnel in the distance.San stood up from the ground with a jerk, his face changed color.Hong Ming had run out of mana at this time, and he realized something was wrong a moment later than Sarn, and his face became serious. He was able to make such an astonishing sound in the dark area, there was nothing but a petrified lizard, and this sound was comparable to that of a petrified lizard. The ones are too big.

The eyes of the two met in one place, and they couldn't help showing a little bitterness.At this time, both of them remembered the experience of passing through this cave when they came here. Since there are two Lizard Kings dueling, there must be disputes in the territories to which the two belong, and their lairs are probably not too far away from here.After that fierce battle, it was only natural to attract a few petrified lizards... The most dangerous enemy had already been wiped out, but at this time they ran into ferocious beasts. Not to mention, the smell of blood was enough to cause trouble.

It only took a few seconds for San to point to the hole behind him, "Go out from here first, there should be an acid river not far from here, and the breath can be blocked nearby. Wait..."

A loud noise suddenly cut off Sarn's words, echoed in the distant tunnel, intertwined with the petrified lizard's angry roar, it was the sound of the range spell.At the same time, there was a wave of magic around them, and the time-space gate opened not far behind them.With a sound of swiping, Hong Ming drew out his long sword and stood side by side with Saen.No matter what kind of enemy is coming, it is dangerous enough to be able to use the advanced teleportation technique. They have reached the point where they are exhausted... Hong Ming gritted his teeth and was about to swing his sword, but a voice rushed ahead of him.

"Hahahaha!!" A burst of maniacal laughter echoed in the cave, which was too harsh for the Underdark region to bear. "Old stuff! I just said that this positioning technique can't be wrong! Is there a master of prophecy in this world who is more powerful than me?!"

Following the laughter, a thin figure came out of the portal and stood in front of the two of them.Compared with his messy gray hair, the dirty, worn-out, but definitely gray, rather than black and white robes are more eye-catching.The old man grinned when the light ball on the staff illuminated the cave and finally saw what was in front of him.

"Ha! What did I see?!" His tone was full of showmanship, almost echoing the unscrupulous magic explosion outside, "It's so embarrassing, I came in time, boy in black!"

There was a smile on Hong Ming's face, the long sword in his hand was sheathed, and the rushing person nodded.

"Long time no see, Gray Robe."
