A Race to (Be) The Top

Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng were still a step behind, when they arrived at the village, the fire had already started to spread.Braving the raging fire, the two searched for Sha Ya's whereabouts from house to house, and finally found it in a small house.

"Here!"

Hearing Ling Xiaolu's call, Ji Meng rushed over quickly.Shaya's eyes were closed tightly, she fell into the magic shield, and her teacher was lying not far away.

Ling Xiaolu immediately rushed up to check Shaya's situation: "She's still alive! She just passed out! Where are you?"

Ji Meng tried hard to wake up the old magician: "Old man! Old man, wake up!"

The teacher coughed heavily, woke up from a coma, and breathed weakly: "Save... Shaya..."

Ji Meng hurriedly said, "Sha Ya is fine."

The teacher shook his head: "Save her...get out...don't tell her...the truth..."

"What?" Ji Meng put his ear to it, "What are you talking about?"

The teacher pushed him with the last of his strength: "Go!"

Burning wooden rafters fell to the eaves with flames, and the wooden hut was about to be swallowed.

Ling Xiaolu was anxious: "There is no time! Let's rescue Shaya first!"

The situation is critical, Ji Meng can only protect the child first: "Wait for us!"

He opened the way ahead, and Ling Xiaolu picked up Sha Ya and followed behind, passed through the blockade of the raging fire, and ran outdoors without any danger.

The moment they escaped, the wooden house behind them collapsed, leaving the old magician in the fire forever.

There was not even time for them to mourn, and the situation in the whole village was not optimistic. The summer was dry and the fire was intensified with the help of various dry logs.

"Get out of the village first!" Ji Meng made a way for Ling Xiaolu who was holding Sha Ya in the fire scene, and called him back.

Ling Xiaolu looked up: "There is a dragon ahead!"

A huge black dragon flew towards him, aiming at Sha Ya who was in Ling Xiaolu's arms.

It was too late, but soon, a ball fell from the sky, hit the dragon's head heavily, and flew into Ji Meng's hands again, his chubby body turned into a huge broad sword.

Ji Meng slashed out two bolts of thunder instantly with his sword, scaring the dragon back.

"It must be it!" The evil dragon that attacked the village was their mission goal this time.

"You take Shaya away first, and I'll take care of it."

After finishing speaking, Ji Meng raised his giant sword and leaped towards the black dragon. His exclusive skill command came from the heat wave, "Thunderbolt!"

The black dragon was not fond of fighting, and retreated steadily, and Ji Meng saw through its intentions at a glance.

"Want to bypass me and attack Shaya? No way!"

The black dragon was tightly entangled by him, Ling Xiaolu took the opportunity to take Shaya out of the fire, placed her under a tree outside the village, and turned to help Ji Meng.

Enraged by Ji Meng, the black dragon began to fight back, and merciless flames shot at Ji Meng.Ling Xiaolu arrived in time, and with the scimitar shining, he stepped on the dragon's tail and jumped onto the dragon's back.

The giant dragon twisted its body desperately, trying to throw Ling Xiaolu off, but Ling Xiaolu couldn't control his balance, and couldn't use his moves.

"Can you help me!" he yelled, "keep it from shaking!"

Ji Meng pointed his sword at the black dragon: "I can't be shaken by thunder!"

A thunder whip gathered momentum and bound the black dragon tightly. The more it struggled, the louder the sound of the electric current became, and the dragon who had lost its freedom roared angrily.

It's now!Ling Xiaolu aimed at its weak point and swung his saber vigorously: "Swallow the Sun!"

The black dragon let out a heart-piercing roar, and countless fireballs spewed out from its mouth. Ji Meng had to retract the lightning whip in order to avoid it, and Ling Xiaolu also fell to the ground.

Ji Meng saw through its desperate struggle, held the sword calmly and charged up, and then swung: "The Fury of Thunder!"

The black dragon struggled and twitched constantly under the falling thunder, and his body changed.

Ling Xiaolu was shocked: "Look!"

The black shell on its body began to peel off, one piece after another, falling to the ground, revealing the crystal clear dragon scales.

"It's a mutated white dragon!"

Bailong took off his black shell and fell heavily to the ground. Ling Xiaolu couldn't believe that this was the cub they escorted not long ago, and it had grown to such a huge size.

"Why are you..." The little girl's voice sounded from behind.

Ling Xiaolu turned back: "Shaya, you're awake! Don't come here, it's dangerous here!"

He and Ji Meng withdrew from the fire scene, and pulled Shaya back.

Shaya looked at the burning village with horror on her face: "Why is this happening? What about the people in the village? Where's the old man??"

Ling Xiaolu looked distressed, but Ji Meng also kept silent.

"Old man, wouldn't he..." Shaya didn't dare to conjecture, she could only scream and ask, "Why is the village on fire? Is it because of the dragon?!"

The white dragon fell into the fire, a pair of eyes looked at Sha Ya from afar, but it seemed that it had no breath of life, and it could not rest in peace.

At the same time, Ji Meng and Ling Xiaolu's dragon slaying mission was completed.

>> is leaving the old world...

"Wait a minute!" Ling Xiaolu wanted to stop, but he didn't cancel the option to leave. After a short read, the two of them teleported back to the lair when they came back.

There is no white dragon in the lair, and a pile of treasures are placed on the ground as a generous reward for completing their tasks.

Ling Xiaolu could no longer deceive himself: "Tell me, the white dragon lying here before was just..."

"The one we killed just now." Ji Meng gave an affirmative answer.

"But why?" Ling Xiaolu couldn't figure it out. "It wants to send us back to the past and kill itself. If we fail to kill it, what will happen if the mission fails?"

"Just do it all over again, until the mission is complete."

Although the task was completed, Ling Xiaolu still couldn't figure out many things: "Why did Bailong attack the village, why did he attack Shaya? When we first met them, they seemed to have a good relationship."

Ji Meng also cared about one thing: "When the old magician asked us to save Shaya, he said not to tell her the truth, but we didn't find any clues about the truth at all."

"I think we should go to that village again and look for clues."

"Can you find it?" Ji Meng was surprised.

"I suspect that this is the area where giant dragons live in groups. You should be able to find the village after going down the mountain."

"How are you so sure?"

Ling Xiaolu pointed to his feet: "See the nest over there? I stole dragon eggs there."

There are no more eggs in the dragon's nest, and there is not even a shadow of a living dragon on the mountain. Instead, there are terrifying huge skeletons all over the ground.

Judging from the degree of weathering, these keels have existed for a long time. After Ling Xiaolu and the others left, what happened here?

There are traces of human activities at the foot of the mountain. Herdsmen are here to herd sheep leisurely. The picture is quiet and peaceful, but Ling Xiaolu feels more and more strange the more he looks at it.

"Do you remember the last time we were here, there was no one around here at all."

"Because humans and dragons are very different, dragons will take away the sheep raised by humans, so no one will come to the foot of the mountain to herd sheep, which means that those dragons have been dead for a long time."

Ling Xiaolu ran to the herdsman: "I want to find out what happened to those dragons on the top of the mountain?"

The herdsmen were very enthusiastic: "Dragon? There have been no dragons for a long time. Since we have a dragon slaying hero here, let alone this mountain, you can't even find a dragon egg in a radius of a hundred miles."

"Dragon Slayer Hero?"

"That's right, don't look at her as a little girl, she is very capable, none of those giant dragons are her opponents."

Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng looked at each other: "Little girl? Do you know the name of this dragon-slaying hero?"

The herdsman looked admiring: "She is known to everyone here, and everyone knows her. Her name is Sha Ya, and she is a hero of mankind!"

After many years, the truant witch transformed into a dragon-slaying hero praised by everyone.However, for Ling Xiaolu and the others, all this happened too suddenly, and they couldn't connect the two titles together.

"Thank you, I also want to ask, if you go west, is there a village?"

The herdsman's face changed greatly when he heard the words: "You must not approach that village. There was a fire in that village many years ago, and the whole village was burned to death. Not only has the whole village been abandoned since then, it is said that there will be a Haunted!...Eh? Where are you going? That's the west side!"

Going west, you have to pass through the witch's forest, "Maybe there will be some clues on the witch's side."

The appearance of the witch has not changed at all. She was an old witch many years ago, and she is still an old witch now. Is this also a kind of beauty-preserving technique?

"Are you going to the village that was burned by the dragon?" The witch lowered her head and stirred the liquid in the pot, her voice hoarse, "Do you know that there are no living people there?"

"We witnessed that fire with our own eyes."

The witch raised her head and looked at the two of them squarely: "I remember, I remember you, you are the client who talked a lot."

It seems that witches not only have good looks, but also have a good memory.

The witch walked up to Ji Meng, leaned closer and sniffed. This overly intimate gesture aroused Ji Meng's repulsion and Ling Xiaolu's curiosity.

"Do you think she will smell it and suddenly call you husband?"

Ji Meng gave him a ridiculous look.

The witch said: "I didn't want to help you, but you smell like something I want."

Ling Xiaolu was even more curious: "What did you hide?"

Ji Meng was annoyed: "There is sharing, you don't know how to read it yourself?"

It's not that Ling Xiaolu doesn't look at it, it's that there are too many things in Ji Meng's bag, and the witch doesn't say anything, and he doesn't know what the other party wants, maybe it's Lei Lulu?

The witch turned around and took out a glass lamp from her treasure chest: "This is a psychic lamp made with the ashes of the dead as fuel. With it, you can understand the death language and communicate with the dead. "

Her creepy black nails pointed at Ji Meng: "I want to exchange it for the White Dragon Stone on your body."

Ling Xiaolu was taken aback: "You hit the White Dragon Stone?"

"Dropped when the white dragon died."

"But do we have to change it? Although we can't understand Deathrattle, ghosts can raise cards."

Ji Meng wanted to turn him into a ghost: "A player is a player, an NPC is an NPC, the two are different."

"...a mission has appeared!"

Ling Xiaolu excitedly accepted [Undead Village], which proves that their puzzle-solving ideas so far are correct.

Ji Meng got the psychic lamp, but couldn't find the switch to light it up.

"How do I get it to light up?"

The witch rubbed the White Dragon Stone excitedly: "The ashes of the dead are just fuel, and the breath of the living should be used to ignite it."

After that, she issued an order to evict the guest: "Let's go, don't disturb my experiment!"

Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng were driven out, and it was nearly dusk, and they hurried to the village where Sha Ya lived in the evening glow.

Just as the herders said, after the fire here, it was completely deserted, with ruins and ruins, and the eyes were desolate.The dragon's skeleton was charred, and nothing grew around it.

They tried very hard to find the small house where Shaya had been rescued, because it was burned the most and it was almost impossible to recognize the original appearance.

The evening glow left the scene, the moonlight came into view, and ghosts appeared out of nowhere, wandering aimlessly on the ruins.It is one thing to see this scene in film and television works, but it is another experience to experience it personally. Ling Xiaolu hid behind Ji Meng in fear.

"Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"I, I'm not afraid of watching ghost movies..."

A ghost floated behind Ling Xiaolu, and he screamed in horror: "But I'm afraid of acting in ghost movies!!!"

The ghost floated away, but Ling Xiaolu's heartbeat accelerated but he couldn't calm down: "Where's your lamp? Take it out."

Ji Meng's heartbeat was also abnormal: "If you hadn't hugged me like an octopus, I could have pulled out my hand to hold it!"

"..." Ling Xiaolu inspected the postures of the two of them, and let go of his hand guiltyly, "Then you take it quickly."

The psychic lamp was in hand, but it still couldn't light up.

"The witch said that the breath of the living should be ignited. Could it be that she wanted to blow air into it?"

Ling Xiaolu tried as he said, but it didn't work.Another ghost floated over, and Ling Xiaolu staged another embarrassing eight-catch fish hug.

Although it was embarrassing, he refused to let go.

"I'm sorry, I'm really, a little scared..."

"Hold the lamp." Ji Meng lowered his voice, in such an environment, his voice has the effect of calming the mind.

Ling Xiaolu plucked up the courage to put his hands on Ji Meng's, and the two held the psychic lamp one in and one out.

light is on.

Ling Xiaolu was a little relieved.

A gloomy voice sounded from behind, "What are you doing here?"

"Ah!!!" Ling Xiaolu let go of his hands in fright, and the lights went out again.

Ji Meng stuffed the lamp into his hand, and then held it tightly from the outside, and now Ling Xiaolu couldn't let go.

"Don't be afraid, they are just NPCs."

"NPC, NPC, not a ghost, but an NPC..." Ling Xiaolu kept brainwashing himself.

Seems to be getting better, he boldly said, "I, we want to get clues about Shaya, any clues."

"Shaya!" the ghost screamed sharply, "That disaster star! If it weren't for her, our village wouldn't be like this!"

"It's a bit too much for you to say that." Ling Xiaolu was full of enthusiasm, and he was not as scared as before. "It is obvious that the dragon burned your village."

"Who told you it was a dragon? No!"

More and more ghosts gathered around, piercing screams one after another.

"It was Shaya who burned down our village!"

"She is the culprit, she is the disaster of mankind!"
