After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

When I opened my eyes again, it was already daylight.

Shi An lazily turned over and stretched on the bed.

He just caught a cold, it wasn't a serious problem, and after taking the medicine and sleeping for a night, the pain basically disappeared without any trace.

The sunlight outside the window was very dazzling, and the room was bright.

Shi An slowly got up.

It always felt like a long dream.

In the dream, he seemed to see his long-lost treasure, piled up shiningly in the dark and dry cave.

He rushed forward and hugged it without letting go.

I don't know why, but the treasure that was supposed to be cold and hard felt warm when hugged, even a little hot, quickly dispelling the cold and painful darkness.

Speaking of which, what kind of treasure would have such a texture?

fire gem?Warm jade?

Hmm, it doesn't seem right.

Shi An leaned against the head of the bed, yawned, and thought wildly in his heart.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Wang Li walked in behind the doctor.

He looked at Shi An and said, "I just talked with the doctor, and all your body index tests are normal, and you should be discharged from the hospital this afternoon."

Shi An cheered up: "Okay!"

Wang Li pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Shi An's bed, briefly told him what the other three agreed with, and gave him detailed instructions on what to prepare for the next mission. Finally, he concluded:

"The ruins of the abyss crack are far away. Since the season of closing the mountain is about to come, we must leave as soon as possible."

With his mouth full of buns, Shi An asked vaguely, "How soon?"

Wang Li passed a glass of warm water in a timely manner:

"We're leaving tomorrow afternoon."

Shi An took the warm water and poured it down tons and tons.

Wang Li frowned uncomfortably: "Slow down, don't choke."

I don't know when it started, he seemed to have gotten used to the extra careless behavior of the young man in front of him, and began to worry about him subconsciously.

Shi An put the half-empty cup on the bedside, and replied briskly:

"Tomorrow? No problem!"

Although there was still a little paleness on his face, but his eyes were shining with eagerness to try.

As for the treasure, the sooner you get it, the better.

Wang Li nodded.

He stood up to leave, but hesitated for a few seconds before turning around.

Finally, he decided to ask the question in his heart: "By the way, how was your chat with Chief Mu yesterday?"

Shi An: "...Huh?"

He blinked and stared blankly at Wang Li in front of him, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the other's words: "What?"

Wang Li was startled.

The doubt on Shi An's face was very real, and there was no element of falsehood.

Didn't Chief Mu come in yesterday?

its not right.

The corner of Wang Li's mouth twitched slightly.

He pointed to the black sleeve pulled out from under the corner of the quilt that was pressed by Shi An: "That, what is it?"

"Huh?" Shi An seemed to have noticed this.

He moved to the side, and then pulled a coat from under his body forcefully.

The fabric is thick and high-grade, and it seems to be hand-cut, but it is crumpled and crumpled at the moment, and there is still a little warmth on it.

"Whose is this?" Shi An was greatly confused by this.

Wang Li: "..."

This is definitely the coat that Commander Mu wore yesterday!

He couldn't help but raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, and briefly told Shi An about meeting Mu Heng outside the ward yesterday.

Shi An showed a stunned expression: "Oh, no wonder, I said why it looks so familiar!"

After all, Mu Heng's last coat is still in his possession.

The old butler cleaned it up seriously, and asked him to return it to others, but Shi An forgot about it when he turned around.

As a result, not only has it not been returned, but there is another one in hand.

"Anyway, we didn't talk anymore." Shi An scratched his head: "I should have fallen asleep when he came."

After getting the exact answer, Wang Li didn't think much, he nodded at Shi An, then turned and left the ward.

After not taking a few steps, Wang Li suddenly stopped.

Standing in the empty corridor, he suddenly belatedly realized a problem.

its not right……

Since Shi An was not awake when Mu Heng arrived yesterday, how did the officer's coat get into Shi An's arms?

Wang Li shook his head vigorously to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind.

It must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that he hasn't thought of yet but can definitely be perfectly explained!

After forcibly turning Black Smoke into his own subject, Shi An left it at home to watch over the house.

After all, the bed and pillows in the room were made by Shi An who worked so hard to collect the treasures. Who knows if those two human beings will take his treasures as their own while he is away? !

After everything was ready, Shi An gracefully waved goodbye to the housekeeper, turned around and got into the car driven by Wang Li.

The cabin is huge, and the interior is far more spacious than it looks from the outside.

Wang Li looked up, and was about to say hello to Shi An who just got into the car, but was taken aback by the huge bulging backpack behind him.

He froze for two seconds, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked:

"That... all of you, what are you pretending to be?"

Wang Li seriously reflected in his heart.

After all, he was responsible for preparing most of the supplies, and the others should be able to set off with some personal belongings.

Could it be... Is there anything else I haven't considered?

"Wait a bit."

Shi An took off the backpack and put it heavily on the seat, making a muffled sound, opened the backpack, took out a bag of small biscuits, and tore it open.

Shi An handed it over with a sincere face: "Do you want to eat?"

Wang Li: "..."

The other three: "..."

——So what do you think this trip is for? !

far away.

The butler stood at the door with a look of relief and melancholy, watching the vehicle become smaller and smaller in his field of vision.

He wiped the corners of his eyes less obviously.

Alas, the child has grown up.

Not only did I make friends, but I even made an appointment with my friends to go out for an outing.

Oh, it's nice to be young.

Zhuo Fu raised his hand and knocked on the door, and walked in.

"The last location of the target mercenary group has been determined. According to other relevant information, we have finally determined their next target location."

Mu Heng raised his eyes and looked over: "Say."

Zhuo Fu turned over a page of the task document in his hand and put it on Mu Heng's desk: "It's a former abyss crack site, which happened seven or eight years ago. Because the area is not small, the bureau attaches great importance to it, but Since it was closed, no abnormal fluctuations have been detected, so the surveillance over there has been relaxed."

He frowned suspiciously: "What is that mercenary group doing there?"

During this period of time, the mercenary group has been looking for traces of the dragon in various underground intelligence stations and black markets. Can't stop thinking about it.

Could it be that there is something in that crack that can help them find the dragon?

Zhuo Fu seemed to think of something suddenly, and looked at Mu Heng:

"By the way, I remember that you were responsible for handling the crack site? Did you find anything unusual?"

Mu Heng didn't answer.

His deep-lined brows and eyes were lowered, and he briefly glanced at the information on the folder in front of him.

Zhuo Fu has long been used to the other party's indifferent attitude, and he didn't struggle too much.

He said: "In short, if this task is to be accepted, it should start today at the latest. The place should be closed for a few days. Don't worry about the specific supplies. I will talk to the person in charge over there. greet."

Mu Heng nodded, and stretched out his hand to close the mission document in front of him: "Thank you."

With that said, he stood up and pulled up the coat that was put aside.

Zhuo Fu blinked strangely, and said, "Eh? Did you change your coat?"

Mu Heng's coats are basically custom-made, which can defend part of the magic splash and attack.

Although they were all the same style, Zhuo Fu was able to notice keenly that this one seemed to be much newer than the one Mu Heng was wearing a few days ago.

He couldn't help laughing:

"I remember the last time you lost your coat, it was the Ability Academy. What's wrong? This time you saved a kid again?"

Mu Heng paused slightly when he put on his coat.

At that moment, the not-so-distant memory revived again.

There seemed to be a warm, cool and soft touch on the wrist, and an imperceptible itch lingered on the skin, making Mu Heng subconsciously tense up, as if he had returned to the few minutes when he was helpless.

Mu Heng stared coldly, his whole body was covered with low air pressure.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhuo Fu, who was not doing business, and asked, "I think you are very idle? How is the research on that sword going?"

Zhuofu: "..."

His whole body was wilted like a frost-beaten eggplant, and he gritted his teeth unwillingly: "There must be some ancient magic attached to it, but you won't let me take a sample..."

Mu Heng sneered, turned and went out.

"Wait, what do you mean! Are you looking down on people!" Zhuo Fu shouted angrily.

Mu Heng didn't look back, the office door closed behind him, blocking the other party's voice behind him.

He lowered his eyes indifferently, put on the gloves, and pulled them firmly.

That small piece of skin was tightly covered.

Originally, Wang Li was worried that such a heavy luggage would slow down Shi An's movements, but what he didn't expect was that before reaching the destination, more than half of the bulging backpack went down.

...Basically, he ate it all by himself.

Wang Li glanced at Shi An's flat belly in disbelief, a little incomprehensible, can a normal human's stomach really hold so many snacks?

"That...don't you save some food for the return trip?"

Wang Li asked cryptically.

Shi An paused when he opened the jelly, and suddenly looked at Wang Li in horror: "Wait, does it mean that it will be gone when I finish eating the jelly?"

The corner of Wang Li's mouth twitched: "That's not what it means..."

Shi An breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Wang Li: "I mean, don't you worry about stomach pain from eating too much?"

After all, he had seen the glorious deeds of the other party killing eight super-large ice creams in one go and going straight to the hospital.

"Don't worry, it was just an accident last time!"

Shi settled for a moment, and then continued solemnly: "Besides, you have energy to work when you are full!"

Wang Li: "..."

as long as you are happy.

They hurried on the road for a full eight hours and changed transportation three times before finally arriving at their destination.

After getting off the car, Shi An was caught off guard by the oncoming severe cold.

The whistling blizzard, wrapped in fine snow and ice, cut towards them like a knife blade, causing pain on the face.

Shi An shuddered, and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

There is thick snow on the ground, the sky is dim, and as far as the eye can see is the deserted ice field. The storm is whistling, swirling on the ice field, and the sky is covered with snow and fog. What.

Shi An: "..."

When he was a dragon, he was not afraid of the cold at all. After all, unlike humans, he had to keep warm to survive, and he had thick scales to protect his body, so it would be no problem for him to roll on the highest snow mountain.

But since becoming a human being, there are no scales, no body that is not afraid of severe cold, but the hypothermia of cold-blooded animals has remained for some reason.

He, he is very afraid of the cold!

Shi An looked at Wang Li with tears in his eyes: "You, didn't you say that we are going to the Aiwen area?"

Isn't Aiwen a valley like spring all the year round? !

Wang Li nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, Ai Wenxueyuan."

Shi An: "..."

He forgot that he had been asleep for too long, and the terrain of the entire continent became different from what he remembered!

Wang Li distributed the warm clothes to the team members, and then said: "It is very difficult to enter the mountain this season, especially at night. We will rest outside the mountain tonight and enter the mountain tomorrow morning."

A group of people walked towards the only hotel in the distance with one foot deep and one foot shallow, leaving a long series of footprints on the thick snow.

Shi An huddled in the thick padded jacket, his head drooping sadly.

It's much better than before, but it's still cold...

He sniffed, his ears and the tip of his nose turned red from the cold in just a few seconds, his dark eyes were tearful, and he looked pitiful.

Chen Meng on the side said coldly: "You know how to pack so many snacks, don't you know what to prepare to keep out the cold?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and threw something over: "Go on."

Shi An borrowed it in a hurry, and looked down.

It is a fluffy earmuff, pink, with a cute cartoon rabbit pattern on it, full of girlish hearts.

Chen Meng's tone was still blunt: "I have an extra set, and I lent it to you."

Before Shi An could thank her, she turned around and quickened her pace to catch up with the person in front.

Soon, a group of five people walked into the hotel.

The hotel is brightly lit, and the magic-driven fireplace is burning warmly. The warm orange light covers the small storefront, which is completely different from the desolate and cold snow field outside, as if entering another world.

Wang Li tore off his gloves, turned around and came to the front desk, negotiating with the staff in a low voice.

The other four were waiting in the waiting area.

The fireplace on the side crackled and sparks splashed everywhere, but they seemed to have touched some invisible barrier and disappeared before they were about to jump out.

The waiter brought warm honey water.

The warmth that had long since disappeared returned to their bodies again, and several of them unbuttoned their coats to breathe. Only Shi An still wrapped himself tightly, as if he hadn't recovered from the severe cold just now.

Zhao She asked suspiciously: "Aren't you from the fire department?"

Shi An held the cup and said weakly:

"This conflicts with my fear of the cold..."

At this time, Wu Huancheng who was on the side said: "The temperature outside the mountain is quite high, and the environment inside the mountain is even harsher than here, and near this mountain, no natural flames can burn, only flames condensed by magic power Only then can it be."

Shi An took a sip of the honey water, his pale face finally turned a little bloody from the heat.

He asked curiously: "That's why you must bring a fire element?"

"Not only that," Wu Huancheng shook his head, "Besides that, there is—"

But before he finished speaking, Wang Li turned around and walked over.

Different from the relaxedness just now, his complexion is now ugly, as if a cloud is covering his face.

Wu Huancheng stopped talking, stood up, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Li wearily raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, and took a deep breath: "I chatted with the front desk a few more times when I checked in, and the front desk said that they basically don't have anyone at this season in previous years, I don't know why This time, so many tourists came at once.”

Several people were surprised: "What?"

Wang Li looked solemn: "A few days ago, a team of more than ten people also stayed here, and they just checked out this morning, and they seemed to be heading into the canyon."

Wu Huancheng's expression also became ugly: "You mean..."

Wang Li nodded: "Yes, it is very likely that we are not the only people who know the treasure information, and it is obvious that they are one step ahead of us now."

"What are you going to do?" Chen Meng frowned and asked.

Wang Li seems to have already had the answer.

He gave each of the four people in front of him a copy of the certificate for entering the mountain, and then said: "Although it will be more dangerous at night, according to the current situation, we can't stay in a hotel, so we can only drive at night."

——Treasures, of course, whoever discovers them first.

The three were slightly startled.

Wang Li said in relief: "Don't worry, the fire element in our team is very strong, there should be no problem."

With that said, he turned his head to look at Shi An: "Are you right——"

I saw the young man not far away as if struck by lightning, with a desperate expression: "Now, are you going to leave now?"

"...Don't you even eat dinner?"

The author has something to say:

——Said the strongest fire element.
