On how to avoid being cannon fodder

"You tell me what to do now!" an old man with a gray beard growled irritably.

Lendell's expression was very ugly, and the kind smile he had been wearing all the time disappeared at this time.He looked at the old man coldly, with suppressed anger in his eyes: "What right do you have to yell at me?"

The old man's roar came to an abrupt end. He scratched his thinning hair and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Rendell, but you must know that our resources have become increasingly scarce since the Legendary War. It’s going to be unsustainable. You know, our Guangming Holy See can restrict the imperial family by relying on the magicians and knights we provide. If there are no resources, the imperial family will be able to swallow us in turn. Don't you know the horror? I..."

"I'm not here to listen to your nonsense!" Rendell interrupted him, "We can't beat the black dragon, Bernal is still unconscious in bed! You have to find another way to build the gate of the plane, or Go hunt the black dragon, do you know that I almost threw my life under the claws of the black dragon just to repay your favor!"

The old man looked at Rendell with a distorted expression, and was speechless for a while.

Next door, Ryan stared blankly at the metal remains on the table.

Elsa came in with a pot of tea, looked at Ryan and then at the two knights lying on the bed, not knowing what to do.

The black dragon didn't kill them, but just shattered the "Vulcan Sanction" and took Qi Feng away.Rendell used the only fixed-point teleportation scroll that was accidentally produced during the research and development of the gate of the plane given by the Holy See of Light, and brought the other four back to the Holy See of Light, but Ryan has been in such a distraught state since then , and the two knights, Bernal and Hogg, had been lying on the bed for two full days. Hogg woke up this morning, but Bernal was still in a coma.

She couldn't figure out why the plot was so different from what she remembered.

It is obvious that Bernal can hold back the black dragon alone, and with the help of other people, he is almost equal to the black dragon. As an astrologer, he only needs to tell the weakness of the black dragon at the right time, otherwise she will not rely on it. With his half-baked probing skills and memory, he pretended to be an astrologer and mixed into the protagonist group.When facing the black dragon, she, a researcher with no strength to restrain her, was almost frightened by the dragon, but she really didn't expect that the black dragon was actually a gentle black armored knight.

But they survived because they had friendship with Sakya before, right?

Elsa was in a very tangled mood. You must know that she was ecstatic when she realized that she had transmigrated into this masterpiece, and immediately started to prepare to hug her thigh.At that time, there were two candidates for the "lifetime golden thigh" she set for herself, one was the protagonist Bernal, and the other was the mysterious and popular character Sakya.After Sakya left, she had no choice but to give up on Sakya with regret, and turned to concentrate on attacking Bernal, but she had already succeeded, who knew there would be such a big reversal!

The black dragon is the "black armor knight" who only appeared once; Qi Feng, the little transparent alchemy apprentice who was cannon fodder halfway, and the black dragon are a pair; the protagonist group is over!Complete!beat!No!Pass!black!dragon!

The poor time-traveling girl didn't know that there was a reason why the will of the world set the time to hunt the black dragon at that time. At that time, the black dragon was close to adulthood, and the effectiveness of the scales and bones was not far behind that of an adult dragon, and the strength gap between the two Not too big.Of course, under normal circumstances, even if the black dragon is an adult, the gap in strength will not be so big. The reason why the protagonists kneel so simply is because the soul in the black dragon's body is Ji Wenyuan.Ji Wenyuan's combat talent surpassed the original Sakya by countless numbers. Just his special power-generating skills can double the strength of the black dragon several times, not to mention the existence of cheating such as combat intuition.

Elsa was feeling overwhelmed, when she suddenly remembered a magical technique she had learned - "healing technique"!Her eyes lit up, and she walked to Bernal calmly, pretending to bring tea to Hogg, and at the same time helped Bernal tuck the quilt, and then quietly cast a healing spell on Bernal.This technique is different from the hidden version of spiritual magic like the probing technique. It relies on the "divine power" given by the gods when praying. Elsa doesn't know if it can still be used in this godless country, but looking at Bei With Gnar's dying appearance, it's better to use magic power to gamble.

She waited for a while, Bernal still did not move.

Elsa was a little disappointed. She thought it would work if she successfully performed it before, so she was so happy.

After leaving this room, Elsa thought for a long time and was still a little unwilling.After hesitating for a while, she finally gritted her teeth and cut a wound on her hand with a table knife, and then cast a healing spell on herself.

It worked!

Elsa watched in astonishment as her wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her heart suddenly became confused - since it was useful, why didn't Bernard seem to get better at all?That's right, Bernal has half of the dragon blood, and these dragon blood may belong to the black dragon!

After thinking this through, Elsa could hardly restrain her frantic heartbeat.

No, no, calm down Elsa, calm down, Bernal is only half dragon blood, it may not work.

She tried her best to restrain her facial expression, and then went to inquire about a piece of news from the alchemist of the Holy See of Light—the gate of the plane requires a lot of materials, and if it fails once, the body of the black dragon will not be enough.When she heard the news, she didn't know whether she was relieved or disappointed. Even a black dragon with such a big body couldn't support two experiments, and Bernal's small body was even more insufficient.So what to do?To find the body of the black dragon that once died?If it was possible to do that, the Bright Holy See would have done it a long time ago, why bother with so many things, you must know that the dragon clan has its own dragon tomb, and no one has ever found it, even a traveler like her who knows the plot doesn't know where the dragon tomb is .

So I can only make another "Vulcan Sanction", and then find a way to attack the Achilles' heel of the black dragon.

The naive time-traveling girl didn't know that her weakness was long gone, and she was still dreaming of becoming a dragon-slaying hero.

……

In the middle of the night, Ji Wenyuan woke up suddenly.

Han Yanghao who was sleeping next to him opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at him puzzled.

Ji Wenyuan pursed his lips without explaining.He didn't know what was going on, but the sense of crisis that lingered in his heart after beating away the protagonist group has not disappeared, but has become stronger day by day.This intuition of crisis has saved him many times, but this is the first time he is completely unclear about the source of this feeling.He stood up and walked out of the cave, looking up at the starry night sky.He felt that if this crisis could not be avoided, he might really die.

Han Yanghao followed out with a yawn, half lying on his black armor made of scales, muttering and asking, "What's wrong with you? You look worried."

Ji Wenyuan glanced at him, not knowing what to say.

Han Yanghao knocked on his breastplate, looking at him with bright black eyes, as if full of starlight: "You talk, let's solve it together."

Ji Wenyuan opened his mouth, and in the end he just said, "I just can't sleep."

Han Yanghao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You can't sleep? Well, if you can't sleep, I can't sleep either. Let's go for a drive. Can you protect me?" The tone of his last sentence sounded like he was teasing , but Ji Wenyuan's heart sank slightly.

He knew that his heart was a little messed up.

"Of course." He stared into Han Yanghao's eyes, and silently added in his heart: No matter what the price is.

……

As time passed, Elsa persuaded Ryan to further improve the "Sanction of Vulcan", and Ji Wenyuan spent another peaceful time.

In the east of the mainland, where neither of these two parties noticed, another fish that slipped through the cracks and survived the collapse of the cult of faith took the first step of his rise from another world.

"This is an electric lamp. It doesn't have a pungent smell like an oil lamp, and it doesn't need to consume expensive magic crystals like a magic lamp. It only needs such a small battery to light up the entire night!" A young man waved his hand The little lamp that glows in the middle of the day, speaks passionately on the high platform.He looked at the people in the audience who showed amazed expressions, and his heart was full of pride.

The materials of this world are full of magical powers, and batteries made from the same recipe work surprisingly well.

He declared loudly: "For fifty coppers you can buy an electric lamp, and for one copper a day you can buy batteries to keep the light on all night!"

Looking at the crowds flocking to buy, he seemed to see his own bright future.

At the same time, Ji Wenyuan suddenly felt that the sense of crisis was rapidly increasing.He stood up abruptly and walked around anxiously, every nerve screaming for danger desperately, as if a mountain was pressing on him, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

where?what exactly is it?

Han Yanghao walked in with the washed fruit in his arms, and was taken aback by him: "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Danger!Danger!

Ji Wenyuan had never felt this way before, as if there was a deadly danger lurking in every inch of space, and he felt like a weak mouse lying on the operating table waiting to be dissected.

"Hey!" Han Yanghao violently woke up Ji Wenyuan who was stuck in his own world, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Ji Wenyuan's mind, and he suddenly mobilized most of the source power hidden in the depths of his soul to directly wrap Han Yanghao's soul and push it out, then he also violently abandoned the black dragon's body and rushed in the opposite direction.

"Ji Wenyuan!" Han Yanghao didn't expect Ji Wenyuan to do this at all. You must know that using the source power under the eyes of the will of the world is tantamount to revealing your identity. Ji Wenyuan's source power accumulated in so many worlds will be consumed here. Most of it fell.With no ability to resist, Han Yanghao was half forced and half protected and thrown out of the world barrier.He looked back angrily, only to see that the barriers of this world were completely different from when he entered them. The whole thing was inflated a lot more than he remembered, like a balloon that was blown almost to burst. I saw countless black fine lines covering the entire barrier of the world like a net.

Han Yanghao was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to figure out what was going on, he saw the world's original energy unnaturally swarming away from him.He knew that it was the will of the world that determined Ji Wenyuan's identity as an outsider and wanted to "kill" him.Although at the level of this world, it is certain that this outsider cannot be wiped out before Ji Wenyuan escapes from the scope of the world barrier, but if they leave together from one direction, it can save a lot of energy!Han Yanghao was angry and furious, secretly annoyed that Ji Wenyuan had suddenly gone crazy.

puff--

A seemingly inaudible and deafening sound seemed to sound from the depths of the soul, and then the originally bulging world barrier deflated like a balloon that was punctured, and then a piece of fine debris lit up on the other side of the world barrier. of light.

Han Yanghao froze for a moment, then rushed over there in horror: "Ji Wenyuan!"

He tried his best to travel through the space to the other side of the world barrier, and saw dense cracks in the space, with a small point as the center, swallowing the broken world barrier bit by bit, and at the same time, a large amount of world origin was constantly gushing out from that gap, Form a gorgeous sea of ​​stars in the universe.But this once-in-a-thousand-year beauty will only make any awakened person who sees it want to stay away-no one else, the bursting energy is really terrifying!

But Han Yanghao didn't intend to leave at all, he almost instinctively caught Ji Wenyuan's figure in the light, his body rushed over before thinking and dragged him out of the energy field.

Ji Wenyuan seemed to have been scratched by a crack in space, and his soul body appeared incomplete, as if he had lost consciousness, and his illusory body continued to radiate soul power.

"Ji Wenyuan! Ji Wenyuan, don't scare me, Ji Wenyuan!" Han Yanghao was so frightened that his mind went blank, he could only mobilize all his source power to try to prevent Ji Wenyuan's soul from dissipating, but he quickly realized in despair that he couldn't do it— ——His strength is far worse than Ji Wenyuan's, just like a cup cannot hold a barrel of wine, he can barely slow down the process a little.

"Don't treat me like this, Ji Wenyuan, did you hear that!"

Ji Wenyuan vaguely heard a familiar voice, and he almost subconsciously wanted to show a smile.But the severe pain from his soul made him a little dizzy, and he couldn't feel whether he had laughed or not.He could feel that Han Yanghao was beside him, safe and sound.

so tired...

As he thought about it, he heard Han Yanghao's voice shifted in fear and sadness.

He seems sad...he can't seem to...be with him any more.

Ji Wenyuan was very blocked, so he comforted himself before completely losing consciousness: It doesn't matter, time will smooth everything out.
