Chapter 337 suddenly

“Keep these things in your stomach, don’t talk to others again.” He Lingchuan reminded the thin man, “Don’t go home and tell me that you have a lot of people in your family if there is no official notification.” A few days have passed since the Chifeng mine incident. On the surface, Dragon City is still calm, and no shocking case has been revealed.

That is handled privately, and I don’t want to be known.

The skinny man sighed and nodded: “That’s right, we ordinary people have food and drink, so why bother? How else can the gold in the mine be distributed to us? Let Commander Zhong make a headache.”

「You reported anonymously, didn’t you also get a reward?」

“That’s it.” The thin man was very proud, and was about to boast about his sharp eyes, when suddenly there was an exclamation and a howl from outside!

The sound was like howling a wolf or crying like a ghost, but it was not human anyway, making the audience just want to cover their ears.

He Lingchuan and the thin man looked at each other, made a wrong step, and rushed out quickly.

…

Wen Daolun stepped out of the martial arts hall, and two guards followed immediately.

He touched his sleeve and found that he was missing one important thing: “Hey, why did you forget to bring out the handouts?” Quickly pointing to a guard, he said, “Hey, go to my house to get the handouts. It’s on the desk. “Ask Xiantang” is it.

The guard agreed and strode away.

“I’m old, I can’t remember such a few things.” Wen Daolun pressed his forehead and said, “There is no handout, so why am I talking about it for an hour?”

Wen Xun looked back at Yuewu Hall, full of anticipation: “I don’t know when I will be qualified to enter the North Court competition.”

“You should do well in the patrol team first.” Wen Daolun was thinking of the old mother’s advice, that the Panlong Wasteland is too dangerous, and he should put Xing’er on the Chipa Plateau as a patrol.

The old lady thinks about things at home. It doesn’t matter if you make less meritorious service, the most important thing is safety.

Wen Xun murmured, “I’m going on patrol, won’t my father be criticized?”

“Do not avoid relatives with internal gestures.” Wen Daolun patted the youngest son on the shoulder, “You passed the martial arts test and entered in an open and honest manner, so why do others criticize you?” He sighed a long time at this point.

Wen Xing wondered, “What happened to father?”

Wen Daolun sighed: “If everyone has the heart of a child, how can there be so many troubles in Panlong City?”

Wen Mansion is very close to the back door of the Martial Arts Hall, so the father and son walked slowly along the river while waiting for the guards to retrieve the handouts.

Panlong City has seven or eight inland rivers and many branches, unlike the hot springs in Nanmen Square, most of them are frozen in this weather, and a thick layer of ice forms on the river.

The father and son passed a small bridge, and a gray stone larger than a millstone was lying at the foot of the bridge hole. Although it is a bit strange to be there, pedestrians don’t take it seriously.

Who cares about a broken stone under a bridge?

However, when Wen Daolun strolled past, the stone suddenly moved, instantly turning into hands, feet, long legs, a head, and a tail…

As if a breeze was blowing, the monster leaped from the bottom of the bridge to Wen Daolun in one step, hit him directly, and then wanted to break his head off.

Its hands are like eagle claws, and the veins on the back of its hands are like steel bars. It only needs a click to kill a magician like Wen Daolun.

Fortunately, although Wen Daolun was staggered, a white light flashed in front of him, and the illusion of frost flowers appeared in the air, and the monster was ejected straight away, hitting the bridge with a bang.

This is the amulet being triggered.

Pedestrians around screamed and fled in all directions consciously.

The monster’s claws and big mouth were covered with solid ice. It was only then that I saw its body shape clearly. It resembled both a monkey and a cat, but it was completely hairless. When it touched the wooden bridge, its body naturally turned dark brown.

This thing changes color and is good at camouflage.

The monster shook twice, and the ice shattered. At this time, the guards rushed forward to attack, and Wen Yun protected his father and retreated.

But this thing is so fast it’s hard for the naked eye to keep up.

The guard tried his best to hold on for seven or eight breaths, but was still beaten by it.

However, Wen Daolun also seized the opportunity to throw five bamboo talismans, among which four yellow talismans stood around the monster automatically, and the last blue talisman hung four feet above its head.

Monster Hit

Flying the guard, he rushed towards Wen Daolun again, and was bounced back by the invisible air wall within two steps.

There will be a little white marks on the air wall it hits, and then the part it hits will quickly condense into solid ice, and if it is not removed for a short time, the solid ice will cover the whole body.

This move is “drawing the ground as a prison”, and Wen Daolun combined it with the ice freezing technique to limit the enemy better.

The more crazy the monster hits the wall, the more ice will form, and the body will become less flexible.

But no one noticed that a bug crawled out silently from the dark alley behind Wen’s father and son.

It is said to be a bug, but it is actually bigger than the palm of an adult man. It looks like a cricket, but its head is as sharp as an awl.

It jumped a few steps forward and swished three spikes at Wen Daolun’s back!

Wen Xing turned her head, just in time to see it coming out from the shadow of the crack in the wall to attack, and without thinking, it jumped behind her father.

Three soft bangs, several spikes hit Wen Xing’s body.

Wen Daolun turned his head in shock, and hugged his son.

The cricket-like monster angled and realigned his forehead.

But just as it launched again, a shadow flashed behind it. Before the person arrived, the knife light arrived first.

He Lingchuan has arrived.

He saw the monster shrinking its head and making a stabbing motion, but the distance between the two sides was more than ten feet, and he was afraid that it would be too late, so the next wave cut across.

The branches on the ground in front of him didn’t move at all, but the monster’s forehead burst open suddenly, and the thorn on the forehead that was about to shoot out was chopped into two pieces by the faint light of the knife!

Chirp, it exploded into a cloud of green pulp.

He Lingchuan won the knife and didn’t care about anything else, so he moved over and sealed the acupuncture points near Wen Xing’s wound.

“Xian’er!” Wen Daolun put all his attention on his son, the prison amulet painted on the ground suddenly loosened, and the monster trapped in it was knocked out of the amulet again.

At this time, the gale soldiers from Yuewu Hall rushed to attack one after another, and the rest of them protected Wen’s father and son.

The monster tried to pounce twice, but was suppressed by force from the opposite side, causing many wounds on its body.

Trapped in the siege of fourteen or fifteen Gale Army soldiers, no matter how capable it is, it is not easy to use it.

It is impossible to win the fight, the monster stopped teasing and turned around and jumped into the river.

The ice on the river is thick, but the water underneath is still flowing. It also has a talent for camouflage, so as long as it enters the water, it has a good chance of escaping.

But the monster was in the air, and a long gun shot towards it, so it had to raise its arm to block it.

It was Xiao Maoliang who rushed over and shot in anger.

With a muffled sound, its left arm was nailed to the bridge.

The monster let out a loud cry, twisted twice, and the left forearm fell off by itself. It was still about to jump into the river, but the Gale Army had already shot three or four hooks, hooking it back from the river forcefully.

“Jindu ghost!” Wen Daolun’s face was livid, “Why are there two more!”

Nine ghost cubs were clearly killed before and after Panlong City!

Seeing that the monster roared continuously, but the wound on its left arm was gradually healing, Wen Daolun said to He Lingchuan, “Cut another hand and break its leg bones.”

He Lingchuan raised the knife and dropped it, green blood splashed, and the monster lost another arm and a leg was broken.

The sharpness of the sword amazed the companions. You must know that this monster’s skin is incredibly thick, and many people hold magic weapons in their hands, but they can’t break through the defense.

Wen Daolun immediately stuffed a crystal into its wound, ignoring the green blood corroding his finger, then took out a bamboo talisman and handed it to Xiao Maoliang: “Cub Jindu will go back to find its mother if it is seriously injured, you take it This talisman. Come near the crystal and it will glow!”

Xiao Maoliang understood what he meant, took the tracing talisman, and after seeing it glowing, he signaled everyone to let go of the monster.

The cub Jindu regained his freedom, howled ferociously at everyone, and jumped into the water.

Xiao Maoliang led people to chase after him.

Wen Daolun stuffed his son with a few life-saving pills, picked him up and rushed into the tower of the Martial Arts Hall, which is where warriors usually rest, and separates the small building in the middle of the north and south courtyards.

Here is the nearest place, with beds, medicine, and doctors.

The whole Yuewu hall was in commotion.

Alo got out from some corner, felt Wen Xing’s pulse, discussed with his colleagues, and hurried out, shouting:

「Go away, go away, lives are at stake, don’t get in the way!」

He actually jumped into the carriage and left.

When He Lingchuan saw Wen Daolun’s eyes froze, he knew something was wrong.

At this time Wen Xun had fallen into a coma, and the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth was green. Wen Daolun wiped and wiped for him, pressing his forehead with one hand.

“Just now, thank you very much.” He was actually able to distract himself from thanking He Lingchuan.

If it weren’t for this young man, he would have followed in his son’s footsteps. At this time, the father and son would probably lie down side by side.

There were too many people in the Yuewu Hall, Wen Daolun was upset, and kicked out most of them, leaving only He Lingchuan and two guards on the scene.

The three spikes have been pulled out and set aside.

He Lingchuan observed the three murder weapons, and saw that they were about the same length as toothpicks, but they had wooden texture, and there were thread-shaped cracks on the surface like bark.

And the little monster that shoots them is also lying on a tray. As far as the feel of He Lingchuan splitting it just now, this thing’s defense is not high, and its ability seems to be all about sneak attack.

The room suddenly fell silent. Wen Daolun stood beside his son, staring at him in a daze, occasionally muttering to himself.

He spoke very vaguely, and He Lingchuan only heard a few intermittent words:

「Could it be… at this time…?」

Not long after, Arlo came back, with the rescuers behind him—

His adoptive father, He Lianchen, the great pharmacist of Danshu.

After He Lianchen entered the martial arts hall, he didn’t have time to say hello to Wen Daolun, so he went to treat Wen Xing.

Open the clothes again at this time, the blood from Wen Xing’s wound is already pure green, and the surrounding skin has also hardened and become brittle, turning iron gray, with fine lines—

Simply put, his skin seems to have turned into bark.

Of the three spikes, one was blocked by his raised arm, one hit the abdomen, and the last one hit the leg.

So the symptoms of barkification appeared in these three locations, and slowly spread towards the surroundings.

There is also a strange aroma in the air. He Lingchuan couldn’t tell, it was a bit like honey, and a bit like rosin.

Such a pleasant fragrance emanates from Wen Xing’s wound, which makes everyone feel even weirder.

After He Lianchen took a step back, Wen Daolun hurriedly asked him: “How?”
