Chapter 42

The three cubs and the fourth cubs are the most obedient. They are at home, but Ning Chu is more at ease.

The three young dragons slept on the pillows snuggling up to each other. As long as there was no movement, they would sleep until dawn. Before leaving, Ning Chu asked Wusi to cast a defensive magic on the door to be on the safe side.

The second cub obediently hid in Ning Chu's clothes, and occasionally looked outside through the gap in the coat that had been blown away by the wind.

There is a lot of traffic nearby, and various shops and vendors pushing carts are all over the street.

Ning Chu strolled around, everything was sold here, clothes, fabrics, daily necessities, weapons and magic wands, etc. He even saw several rows of dark stones on a booth.

The stall owner held a sign that said "Open the blind stone, pick ten gold coins at will".

Someone on the side of the road was as curious as Ning Chu and asked, "Blind stone? What?"

"It's all about luck," the stall owner leaned against the back of his chair and pointed at the stone in front of him with his magic wand, "I'm lucky, I can get raw purple gold stone."

The smallest stone was the size of an adult's fist, and if it was really raw purple gold stone, it would be worth at least one hundred purple gold coins.

Several passers-by were a little excited when they heard it, but Ning Chu lost interest.

Isn't this the equivalent of gambling stones? He has no money to play these, not to mention the few ordinary stones of the stall owner are fooled, and no one knows.

He took a few steps forward, and when he looked back, he saw Wus still standing there, looking down at the booth with his masked face.

Ning Chu turned around again and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Wu Si looked at him and hesitated: "... Xiuning, do you have ten gold coins?"

He actually wanted to buy this thing?

Ning Chu was about to pull Wu Si away, and then explained to him that it was a lie, and hesitated again when he met Wu Si's masked face.

Wusi gave him all his belongings, including the high-end storage bag. Now he wants ten gold coins and doesn't give it himself. Wouldn't it be too...

Moreover, he could be considered to have raised dragons himself, other little dragon cubs kept all kinds of toys, but he didn't seem to have bought anything for Wusi.

Thinking of this, Ning Chu changed his mind again, and took out ten gold coins: "Yes... By the way, you don't need to call me Xiuning in the future."

Wus took the gold coin and looked up in confusion.

Ning Chu didn't explain too much, only vaguely said: "My name is Ning Chu, not Xiuning."

The words Ning Chu were a bit confusing to read in the language of the humans on this continent. Wu Si wrote it down silently and came to the booth with ten gold coins.

Without any hesitation, he picked up the stone on the farthest and put the gold coin on the booth.

The stall owner had probably never seen such a cheerfulness before, he didn't even pick one, he glanced at Wu Si, and put away the gold coins.

Wu Si returned to Ning Chu and handed him the pitch-black stone.

Ning Chu took it and didn't understand what he meant for a while: "This..."

"This stone..." Wusi's tone was also somewhat uncertain. "It's different from the others."

He saw it at a glance when it was mixed in other stones, and the smell was different.

"Really?" Ning Chu's eyes lit up.

Could it be that Wusi, as a dragon, has the special ability to detect the inside of the stone? Suddenly excited, he stepped aside and scraped the surface of the stone with the wind blade.

The black lacquer shell faded, revealing a bright orange in the stone.

Ning Chu was stunned, what is this?

He also thought that Wusi chose the raw purple gold stone... but this color seems a little familiar.

The tip of the nose under the mask of Wusi sniffed and said, "Dragon spar."

"Dragon spar?" Ning Chu reacted and was instantly overjoyed.

No wonder Wusi is so keen on this stone, and the dragon spar is also a good thing. The big one in the mall costs 100 hardware coins, and the big piece that Wusi picked is only 10 gold coins.

Ning Chu quickly grabbed Wu Si's sleeve: "Is there still such a thing? Let's take a look?"

Wus shook his head: "No more."

Seeing that Ning Chu was so happy, he changed his words: "I'll go take a look."

"Forget it," Ning Chu put away the dragon spar and held him, "We have to look elsewhere."

Wusi replied: "Okay."

The two continued to walk forward, and Ning Chu asked the shop owner about the church and the dragon group by taking advantage of the gap between the goods.

At first, several shopkeepers said they didn't know, and some heard that it was related to the church, and immediately lowered their faces and told Ning Chu to leave without buying anything.

Finally, an elderly man heard Ning Chu's conversation with the shopkeeper, and said, "Dragon? I live on the outskirts of the west of the city. I heard some noises a few nights. You can go there and have a look."

Ning Chu thanked him and went out of the shop to ask Wu Si, "Are we going there now?"

It was already quite late at this time. In the past at Lance College, the lights in the dormitory had been turned off.

The second cub quietly scratched Ning Chu's clothes. It really wanted to go, so it was a pity to go back.

Wu Si also had no idea of ​​going back, and the two of them headed towards the west of the city.

Ning Chu was unfamiliar with the terrain here. He walked around two streets and was looking for someone to ask, when he caught a glimpse of a few people wearing silver robes passing by.

They were in a hurry, and everyone around them avoided them. Ning Chu pulled Wu Si's sleeve and motioned to follow quietly.

These people should be lower-ranking subordinates, Ning Chu and Wu Si followed far behind and were not noticed at all.

They left the city center and summoned their respective contracted beasts to continue on their way to a sparsely populated suburb.

The outskirts stretched as far as the eye could see, and only a large forest was connected in the distance. Several people from the church entered the woods, and their figures disappeared from sight.

It is very likely that the church placed the dragon group in the woods. At this time, there was no one else around, so the second cub couldn't hold back and got out of Ning Chu's coat.

"Woo?" It flew around, turned its head in the direction of the woods, and wanted to go over and take a look.

Ning Chu grabbed it and pressed it into his arms: "Be honest."

The terrain here is very wide, and it is easy to be found if you are not careful. Ning Chu just bought a new mask on the street. After putting it on, he and Wu Si went around to the other side of the woods, and then slowly approached.

The further he walked in, Ning Chu clearly heard a few dragon calls.

It was angry and anxious, accompanied by a lot of knocking on the iron cage.

Sure enough.

Wu Si's eyes flashed with anger, and he walked past Ning Chu and came to the edge of the forest.

Ning Chu was afraid of his impulsiveness, so he hurried to keep up, but Wu Si suddenly stopped in front of him.

He reached out to stop Ning Chu and bowed his head: "There is a magic circle."

Stepping further forward will trigger the trigger, and Wusi's line of sight looks along the edge of the magic circle, covering the entire space inside the woods.

I couldn't go in for the time being, so could only observe outside. Through the branches, Ning Chu saw that there was a large piece of flat ground inside, with two or three rows of tents erected, and behind it was the group of locked dragons.

The iron cages were covered with black cloth, and depending on the number of cages, each dragon was kept alone.

Most of the tents were lit with lights, and some people were walking around and patrolling the outside.

Ning Chu did a rough calculation and estimated that there were forty or fifty people here.

The dragon group has been restless, someone is in charge of feeding, but looking at his actions and reactions, they should not eat.

The voice of someone talking outside the tent came: "They don't eat... they starve to death... how do they meet?"

Another person replied: "If you can't catch them again... Thirty, no less."

Ning Chu was thinking about so many people, whether he and Wu Si and the two cubs could quickly rescue the dragon group, and still couldn't miss a live, when he suddenly heard a movement from the right side.

The voice was very weak, not like the church people, but like them sneaking over, Ning Chu pulled Wu Si vigilantly to hide.

A figure shuttled through the forest. The man was dressed in black. The sleeves seemed to be a little short, and a long wrist was exposed. The long hair tied behind his head turned out to be silver.

Judging by the shape of the body, it was a man. Half of his face was covered with a black cloth, and one ear was not covered, revealing a pointed tip.

This is... an elves?

Ning Chu had heard of this race. They generally lived deep in the forest, guarding their territory and seldom went out. The features were very recognizable, it was silver hair and pointed ears.

The elf did not find that there was someone hiding not far away. He saw the situation in the woods and heard the voices of the dragons. He seemed very shocked and stepped forward unconsciously.

He was about to encounter the magic circle on the edge, Ning Chu didn't have time to stop it, the magic circle sensed someone intruding, together with Ning Chu's side burst out strong magic energy, and raised the protective cover, Wu Si raised his hand to resist, only The two were not attacked.

Someone in the woods immediately noticed: "Who?"

The second cub heard the voice coming up quietly, his eyes were excited, thinking that this was a signal to start fighting, he opened his mouth and exhaled a wind blade, tearing the protective cover in front of him.

Everyone in the church was alert and immediately repaired the protective cover. Several people waved their magic wands and attacked Ning Chu where they were.

The elves not far away were startled by the sudden change, and at the same time discovered the two of Ning Chu.

He hesitated, hesitating and quickly retreating from the vicinity.

The two cubs are still attacking the protective cover, but this wave of people is not weak, and the hole it just opened was repaired in the next instant.

It was in a hurry and wanted to come out and teach these people a lesson, but Ning Chu held his head down.

"Let's go first," Ning Chu said, "I can't show up now."

There are too many people in the woods, and it needs the help of the giant dragon to win. The elf just now didn't know what was going on. Ning Chu was worried that if he hid in the dark again, the second cub or Wu Si appeared and was caught by him. cause trouble.

The second cub was very unwilling, and could not help but listen to Ning Chu's words, and obediently retracted into the clothes.

They stopped attacking the protective cover on their side, and the church arranged for a group of people to approach the woods to search for their traces.

Ning Chu took Wu Si the same way and left, while blocking the footsteps of the people behind with vines.

He passed by a tree, and a familiar figure came out.

It was the elf again, he really didn't leave, a pair of green pupils stared at Ning Chu's hand very excitedly, and wanted to tear off his mask and talk to Ning Chu.

Ning Chu was busy escaping, and passed by him as if he didn't see it.

The elf froze in place, and the people behind caught up, and he had to leave quickly.

One of the church members had a different pattern on his clothes. He easily cut off the vines under his feet and pointed his magic wand at Ning Chu.

When an attacking magic hit, Wu Si reacted the fastest and resisted it with his backhand.

However, there was still a trace of overflowing energy hitting Ning Chu's left shoulder.

He opened the data, the durability value was pulled to 70%, and the pain from the left shoulder quickly faded until it disappeared.

A group of people got rid of the vines and chased to the suburbs. Ning Chu and Wu Si had long since disappeared.

"You don't have to chase anymore," the leader put away the magic wand and walked back: "Transfer the dragon group as soon as possible."

Ning Chu, who returned to the center of the city, took off his mask. There were still many people on the street. With his face as usual, he took Wu Si back to the hotel.

The defensive magic on the hotel room door was intact, Ning Chu opened the door, and the four cubs rushed up immediately.

At this point, the three dragon cubs hadn't slept yet, especially the five cubs, waiting for Ning Chu with sleepiness.

The second cub "oooooooooo" howled and flew out, and Ning Chu grabbed its tail: "Be quiet."

He took off his coat and told the three dragon cubs who were staying at home about the situation tonight.

The second cub said angrily: "Ow!"

Why go, let it out and a dragon can take them all out!

"That elf is weird, I don't know what the purpose is," Ning Chu sighed and stroked its neck hair to reassure him, "I know you're in a hurry, but when you're out, be careful."

He intuited that the elves and the church were not the same group, and he neither wanted the dragon to be discovered by strangers, nor did he want to harm the innocent.

The church needs thirty dragons, and most of them have been gathered now. The dragon group is not in good condition on hunger strike. They will definitely transfer the dragon group within two days, and there is still a chance to rescue them.

Ning Chu originally thought to inquire about the situation first, and then come back to prepare. If the elves accidentally bumped into the magic circle tonight, they might not have been discovered.

Wu Si remained silent, and after Ning Chu finished speaking, he replied, "I'll listen to you."

Since leaving the academy, he has changed back to the very obedient Wu Si before, and he will unconditionally agree to whatever Ning Chu says.

Wuzai listened and fell asleep leaning on Ning Chu's palm, Ning Chu touched its head and said softly: "It's late, rest."

There were two beds in the room, one was occupied by the little dragon cubs, and the other was naturally Ning Chu's.

He put the sleeping five cubs away and looked back at Wusi: "You... you can change back to dragon sleep."

There is no need for a shift vigil tonight, everyone can sleep.

There was no expression on Wu Si's face, and Ning Chu's eyes reflected: "Okay."

He turned back into the little black dragon and squatted in the corner of the bed, and when all the little dragon cubs lay down, Ning Chu washed and turned off the lights.

Five cubs slept peacefully beside his pillow, Ning Chu lay down quietly and started the game.

He checked the Dragon Island as usual, bought supplies, turned on the contract service when he was going to sleep, and transferred the data back to its original position.

This is his usual practice to avoid accidentally making something happen after falling asleep.

The data values ​​were pulled back to 0% one by one, and Ning Chu had a sudden sharp pain in his left shoulder.

He groaned, and Wusi on the other bed immediately turned back to human form and got up: "What's wrong?"

"I don't know..." Ning Chu's forehead was sweating from the pain, and he couldn't even get up to turn on the light.

As the familiar figure approached, Wu Si gently lifted him up, unbuttoned his clothes and pulled down his clothes to expose his left shoulder.

Even in the dark, Wus could see the scene in front of him clearly, and there was indeed a scar on his fair skin, which was hit by the people of the church when they left.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came back?" Wu Si's tone was a little anxious, covering the wound on Ning Chu's left shoulder with his palm, and using healing magic to treat him.

Ning Chu felt much better in an instant. He leaned on Wu Si and said blankly, "I don't know..."

He used to be in the arena, because he raised the sensitivity value very high every time, and all the attacks on the opposite side could be perfectly avoided.

This was the first time he was attacked by magic, and he didn't feel much when he was in the woods.
