The third cub and the fourth cub were the most obedient, and Ning Chu felt more at ease when they were at home.

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

Er Zai obediently hid in Ning Chu's clothes, and occasionally looked outside through the gaps in the jacket 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 wandered around, selling everything here, such as clothes, fabrics, daily necessities, weapons and magic wands, etc. He even saw several rows of black-painted stones on a stall.

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

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

"There's everything in it, it's all about luck," the stall owner leaned against the back of the chair, pointing to the stone in front of him with his magic wand, "I'm lucky, I can get the raw purple gold stone."

The smallest stone is as big as an adult's fist. If it is really Zijin raw stone, it can be worth at least a hundred Zijin coins.

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

Isn't this equivalent to betting on stones?He didn't have the money to play with it, not to mention that the stall owner was fooling around with a few ordinary stones, and no one knew about it.

He took a few steps forward, turned around and saw Wu Si still standing where he was, with his masked face looking down at the booth.

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

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

He actually wants to buy this thing?

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

Wu Si gave him all his possessions, including the high-end storage bag, and now he doesn't give ten gold coins if he wants it, will it be too...

Besides, he had raised dragons by himself anyway, and there were all kinds of toys for other little dragon cubs, but he didn't seem to have bought anything for Wu Si.

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 Xiu Ning from now on."

Wu Si took the gold coin and looked up puzzled.

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

The word Ning Chu was a bit convoluted in the human language of this continent, Wu Si memorized it silently, and came to the booth with ten gold coins.

Without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the last stone and placed the gold coins on the booth.

The stall owner probably has never seen such a straightforward one, he didn't even pick a pick, he took a second look at Wu Si, and put away the gold coins.

Wu Si returned to Ning Chu and handed him the dark stone.

Ning Chu took it over, but didn't understand what he meant for a moment: "This..."

"This stone..." Wu Si's tone was also a little uncertain, "It's different from the others."

If it is mixed with other stones, it can be seen by him at a glance, and it smells different.

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

Could it be that Wu Si, as a dragon, has some 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 lacquered shell faded away, revealing a section of bright orange in the stone.

Ning Chu was stunned, what is this?

He also thought that Wu Si chose the purple gold raw stone...but this color seems familiar.

The tip of Wu Si's nose under the mask sniffed and said, "Dragon spar."

"Dragon spar?" Ning Chu was overjoyed when he realized it.

No wonder Wu Si is so keen on this stone. Dragon spar is also a good thing. The big one in the mall costs [-] gold coins, but the big one Wu Si picked is only [-] gold coins.

Ning Chu hurriedly grabbed Wu Si's sleeve: "Is there such a thing over there? Let's see again?"

Wu Si shook his head: "Not anymore."

Seeing that Ning Chu was so happy, he changed his words again: "I'll go and see again."

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

Wu Si responded, "Okay."

The two continued to walk forward, and Ning Chu asked the shopkeeper about the church and the dragon group by looking at the gaps in the merchandise.

At the beginning, several shopkeepers said they didn't know, and some of them heard that it was related to the church, and immediately turned their faces down, telling Ning Chu to leave without buying anything.

In the end, an elderly man heard Ning Chu's conversation with the shopkeeper, and said, "Dragon? I live in the western outskirts of the city. I heard some movement for a few nights. You can go over there and have a look."

Ning Chu thanked him, left the shop and asked Wu Si: "Shall we go there now?"

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

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

Wu Si also had no intention of going back, and the two headed towards the west of the city together.

Ning Chu was not familiar with the terrain here, so he walked around two streets and was looking for someone to ask, when he caught a glimpse of a few people in silver robes passing by.

They were in a hurry, and the people around gave way wherever they went. Ning Chu tugged on Wu Si's sleeve, signaling to follow quietly.

These people should be subordinates with lower positions. Ning Chu and Wu Si followed far behind without being noticed at all.

They left the center of the city, summoned their contracted beasts and continued on their way to a sparsely populated suburb.

The countryside stretches as far as the eye can see, only a large forest is connected in the distance. A few members of the church entered the forest, and their figures disappeared from sight.

The inside of the woods was most likely where the church placed the dragons. At this moment, there was no one else around, so the second cub couldn't hold back anymore, and got out of Ning Chu's coat.

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

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

The terrain here is too open, and it's easy to be spotted if you don't pay attention. Ning Chu bought a new mask on the street just now. After wearing it, he and Wu Si went around to the other side of the woods, and then approached slowly.

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

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

Sure enough.

Wu Si's eyes showed hostility, and he passed Ning Chu to the edge of the forest.

Ning Chu was afraid that he would be impulsive, so he hurriedly followed, but Wu Si in front suddenly stopped again.

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

Stepping forward will trigger it, and Wu Si looks along the edge of the magic circle, fully covering the entire space inside the forest.

Temporarily unable to enter, Ning Chu could only observe from the outside. Through the branches, Ning Chu saw a large flat ground inside, with two or three rows of tents set up, behind it was the group of locked dragons.

The iron cages were all covered with black cloth, and depending on the number of cages, each dragon was locked up individually.

Most of the lights in the tent are on, and some people are walking around and patrolling outside.

Ning Chu made a rough calculation and estimated that there are forty or fifty people here.

The dragon group has been restless. Someone is feeding them, but judging by his actions and reactions, they should not eat them.

There was a voice of someone talking outside the tent: "They don't eat...starve to death...how can I do business?"

Another person replied: "If you can't catch any more... thirty, no less."

Ning Chu was thinking about whether he, Wu Si and the second cub could quickly rescue the dragon group with so many people, and could not miss a living, when he suddenly heard a movement from the right.

The voice was very weak, unlike the members of the church, but as if they had sneaked in like them, Ning Chu vigilantly pulled Wu Si to hide.

A figure shuttled through the forest. This person was dressed in black, the sleeves seemed to be a bit short, revealing a long part of his wrist, and the long hair tied behind his head was actually silver.

Judging by the body shape, this is a man, half of his face is covered with a black cloth, and one ear is not covered, revealing a sharp tip.

This is... the elves?

Ning Chu has heard of this race. They usually live deep in the forest, guarding their own territory and rarely going out. Their features are very recognizable. They have silver hair and pointed ears.

The elf didn't realize that there were people hiding not far away. He saw the situation in the woods and heard the cries of the dragons. He seemed very shocked, and unconsciously stepped forward.

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

Someone in the woods immediately noticed: "Who?"

The second cub heard the sound coming quietly, its eyes were excited, thinking it was a signal to start a fight, it opened its mouth and breathed out a wind blade, tearing a hole in the protective cover in front of it.

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

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

He hesitated, hesitated for a moment and quickly backed away from the vicinity.

The second cub was still attacking the protective cover, but this wave of people was not weak, and the hole it just broke was repaired in the next instant.

It suddenly became anxious, 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, "We can't show up now."

There are too many people in the woods, and they need the help of a giant dragon to have a chance of winning. The elf didn't know what was going on just now. Ning Chu was worried that if he was hiding in the dark again, Erzai or Wusi would come across him and he would run into him. cause trouble.

Er Zai was very unwilling, but he had to listen to Ning Chu's words and obediently shrank back into his clothes.

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

Ning Chu pulled Wu Si back the same way and used vines to block the footsteps of the people behind him.

He passed by a certain tree, and a familiar figure sprang out.

It was that elf again, he didn't leave as expected, a pair of green eyes stared at Ning Chu's hand very excitedly, and wanted to pull off the mask and talk to Ning Chu.

Ning Chu was in a hurry to escape, passing by him as if he didn't see him.

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

Among the people in the church, there was one whose clothes pattern was obviously different from others. He easily cut off the vines under his feet, and pointed his magic wand accurately at Ning Chu.

An attack magic struck, and Wu Si reacted the fastest and blocked it with a backhand.

However, there was still a trace of overflowing energy hitting Ning Chu's left shoulder, Ning Chu's body paused slightly, and he kept walking.

He opened the data, and 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, but Ning Chu and Wu Si had long since disappeared.

"There is no need to chase anymore," the leader put away his magic wand and walked back: "Move the dragon group as soon as possible."



Back in the center of the city, Ning Chu took off his mask. There were still quite a few people on the street. He looked normal, and he dragged Wu Si back to the hotel.

The defensive magic on the hotel door was intact, Ning Chu pushed the door open, and the four cubs rushed forward immediately.

It's already this point, the three dragon cubs haven't slept yet, especially the fifth cub, holding on to sleepiness and waiting for Ning Chu.

The second cub flew out howling, Ning Chu grabbed its tail and said, "Keep your voice down."

He took off his coat and told the three dragon cubs staying at home about what happened tonight.

Erzai said angrily: "Aww!"

Why go, let it out, it can kill them all with one dragon!

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

He had an intuition that the elves and the church were not on the same side. He didn't want the dragon to be discovered by strangers, nor did he want to hurt innocent people.

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

What Ning Chu originally thought was to investigate the situation first, and then come back to make preparations. If the elves hadn't accidentally touched 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 turned back to the very obedient Wu Si he used to be, and he unconditionally agreed to whatever Ning Chu said.

The five cubs had already fallen asleep leaning against Ning Chu's palm, Ning Chu stroked its head, and said softly, "It's late, let's rest."

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

He put the sleeping five cubs away, and looked back at Wu Si: "You...you can turn back into a sleeping dragon."

There is no need to change shifts tonight, everyone can sleep.

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

He transformed back into the little black dragon and squatted in the corner of the bed, waiting for all the little dragon cubs to lie down, Ning Chu came back after washing and turned off the lights.

The five cubs slept peacefully next to his pillow, Ning Chu lay down quietly and started the game.

As usual, he checked Long Island, purchased supplies, and when he was about to go to sleep, he opened the contract service and reset the data to the original position.

This is his usual practice, to avoid any accidents after falling asleep.

The data values ​​were pulled back to 0% one by one, and Ning Chu's left shoulder suddenly felt a sharp pain.

He snorted, and Wu Si on the other bed immediately turned back into a human form and got up: "What's wrong?"

"I don't know..." Ning Chu was so painful that his forehead was sweating, and he couldn't even get up and turn on the light.

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

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

"Why didn't you tell me when you came back?" Wu Si said anxiously, covering the wound on Ning Chu's left shoulder with his palm, and healed him with healing magic.

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 every time he raised his agility value to a high level, he could dodge all the attacks perfectly.

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