Uplifting Journey

Collapsing on the ground, the elf, who was trembling all over and was close to fainting, had large areas of scald marks on his exposed white skin, and his neck and back looked the most serious.

However, the underclothes that seemed to have a certain mysterious defensive power did not show any signs of damage. The red dragon, who is keenly aware of the fire element, could detect that what scalded the elf's skin was the original power contained in its body, but it was inexplicable. It is transformed into fire element on the surface of the skin.

After dispelling his experimental Longwei-like spells, Cheng Bin looked at the elf's red-spotted skin, and couldn't help but think of some kind of legend in the inner world.

It is said that if the deeply hypnotized person misleads the pencil touching his skin as a soldering iron, there will be traces of being burned by the soldering iron at the point of contact of the pencil.

But Cheng Bin, who specializes in psychological research of a parallel individual, knows that this kind of case itself is not reliable. It is no problem to make people who have been burned have a stress response to burns, but it is a bit nonsense to create burn marks.

But in this world made of elements, the elves who are intimidated by Longwei-like spells make the hallucinatory high temperature produce real effects. The relationship between the thinking activities involved and the elemental reactions is very interesting.

However, what surprised Cheng Bin the most was not this matter.

The red dragon bent its neck and sniffed it closer, then held one leg of the elf with its claws and looked it over and over again in mid-air, and then had to admit that he might have been blind in the time-space corridor before, elves are such creatures.

——I remember that the elf who traveled to the information virtual world to do the trial task and cast the meteorite technique on the ancient army formation should be a male, right?

The slightly subtle gaze of the red dragon hovered between the chest and legs of the handsome elf in the dragon's claws—could it be an illusion created by visually seeing through a layer in the corridor of time and space? Uh, it is really not very reliable to judge gender based on the curvature of the chest under the inertial thinking.

"Speaking of which, in Kasa's impression, the elves seem to be directly conceived by some kind of plant. Although the appearance similar to humans is a bit suspicious, there is really no need to distinguish between male and female physiologically to reproduce offspring. There is no such thing as a human. The genitals are also considered normal, probably”

The red dragon, who pondered for a while, shook his head, accepting the fact that the elves in this world are asexual creatures.

——But I always feel that some kind of human fantasy left in my heart is shattered, but the universe is so big, the elves described in general fantasy works must exist there, right?

The red dragon, who recovered from some kind of disillusionment, met a pair of angry eyes with vertical pupils.

Ivy, who was hung upside down in the air by the red dragon's calf, woke up and made a clear distinction of the situation. Without saying a word, he aimed at the red dragon in front of him and pulled the wooden short bow that he didn't let go of even if he fainted.

However, before Ivey could make any moves, the boundless fear that seemed to be in purgatory swept his mind again, let alone mentioning the magic power in the body to weave attacks, under this kind of abnormal coercion that seemed to be licked by death Under such circumstances, it was extremely difficult for him to even maintain a clear consciousness.

The red dragon's claws loosened and closed, let go of the elf's legs and pinched the short bow in his hand with delicate flashing patterns.

However, Ivy, who turned his eyes white, still held his weapon tightly subconsciously. The red dragon shook the dragon's claws and didn't shake off the pendant. He simply ignored him and brought the pattern on the wooden bow to his eyes. He opened his vertical pupils and looked carefully.

"Well, it's a bit similar to the pattern on the dragon skin scroll seen in the corridor of time and space. Is this some kind of element utilization magic circle researched by the elves?"

The red dragon who focused on the short bow in the panorama suddenly noticed an abnormal movement in his thoughts. He turned his eyes to the side, and saw another elf leaping out of the treetops, holding a knife in both hands and slashing at him condescendingly.

This is Lacey, who is on the same team as Ivy. He rushed over immediately after Ivy made contact with the red dragon and sent a signal, but he didn't expect to see the red dragon grabbing Ivy and putting it to his mouth just after he arrived. .

Before he had time to think too much about it, Lacey activated the flexible rope tied around his waist with magic power and rushed up immediately. He volleyed out the long knife behind his back and swung it half a moon, aiming at the junction of the red dragon's head and long neck.

Seeing the fine lines shining on the long knife, the vertical eyes of the red dragon who was not interested in trying the knife with his body lightened slightly, and he was about to throw another shot, whether it was intimidation or Longwei.

However, after the super-speeding thinking carefully discerned some abnormal resonance from the sword-wielding elf, a trace of surprise flashed in the red dragon's vertical pupils, and then he took a step back as the red light in his eyes disappeared.

I didn't expect the huge red dragon to be so agile. Lai Xi, who made a sneak attack but failed, bit his silver teeth secretly. His waist and legs, who had nowhere to borrow strength in mid-air, changed abruptly as if they were stepping on the ground. Forward stance.

However, under the control of Lacey's magic power, the rope disintegrates into countless slender threads that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and connects various plants in the criss-cross pattern to form a tough activated silk mesh to assist Lacey's actions.

Lacey, who changed his posture, made a turn with his long knife, and caught up with the red dragon's claws in a twisted arc in mid-air. Suddenly fell from the air, and was hugged by Lacey's left hand.

Then the spider-like translucent thread surged to keep up with Lacey's footsteps, allowing him to take Ivy's back leap in mid-air and open the distance from the red dragon.

The smooth movement like a rabbit rising and falling a falcon happened in a very short time. The red dragon nodded in praise of the fighting quality shown by the elves, and then the dragon wings stretched back, and the elemental ram engine on the magic modified keel suddenly started in another way. Mode ignition starts.

Lacey, who had just embraced Ivy and leaped back, was facing the red dragon. He was horrified to see that the tip of the strange thick cylindrical skeleton on the opponent's wings lit up with dazzling fire element brilliance in the blink of an eye, an element that had never been seen before. The oppressive force brought by the density almost suffocated him.

The next moment, Lacey, who was retreating at a high speed, only saw the afterimage of the red dragon's wings, and then his eyes went dark, as if his five senses were wiped out, and he completely lost his ability to sense his body.

I don't know how long it took to lose consciousness. When Lacey recovered from the severe pain all over his body, he found himself lying in Ivy's arms, and the other party was anxiously calling his name.

After waking up, Lacey tensed her body subconsciously, and began to fumble for weapons while trying to recover her combat ability.

But Ivy raised his scalded hand and pressed his shoulder, shaking his head palely at him.

Lacey collected herself, got up from the ground and turned her eyes to look around.

But just when he started scanning, Lacey's eyes froze, and his body stiffened involuntarily.

The dense forest was carved out of a tiankeng by a huge and precise force. The place where they stopped has become an isolated island standing in the center of the tiankeng, and a few steps away is a terrifying cliff.

Some trembling Lacey walked carefully to the edge of the trembling columnar earth and looked around, only to find that the cliffs were covered with traces of melting, and the bottom of the huge sinkhole was filled with fiery red light. A large expanse of lava was seething and boiling.

"What happened just now?" Lacey held his forehead, and with difficulty dug out what he saw before he lost consciousness - the slamming dragon wings, the erupting fire, and the torrent of elements that destroyed everything

"That dragon simply poured out the fire element accumulated in its body?"

Lacey subconsciously looked back at Ivy, who was kneeling on the ground—it's no wonder that Ivy's face was so ugly. Compared with himself, who is more inclined to warriors, Ivy, who likes to learn spells, should be attracted by this kind of element that doesn't use the slightest magic skills. It's a bad blow, isn't it?

——At least, in the past warrior training, I was quite aggrieved when I was overthrown by others with brute force.

Shaking his head to get rid of miscellaneous thoughts, Lacey, who regained his composure, moved his sharp ears slightly and heard the abnormal sound coming from the ground under his feet. He immediately flashed back to the center of the isolated island to pull up his companions, stretched out his hand and pulled it with the help of the thrown silk thread Trees connected to the outside of the circle pulled the pair across the wide bluff.

The moment after the two elves left, the stone pillar that had experienced the baptism of the torrent of fire element cracked and cracked, and then completely collapsed and disintegrated due to its uneven structure and huge temperature difference, falling into the semi-solidified lava at the bottom of the tiankeng middle.

Helping Ivy, who recovered a little under the violent acceleration when leaping over the cliff, Lacey watched the terrain vigilantly to identify the direction, and whispered to his companion: "Where is the red dragon? We must get out of here quickly."

Breaking away from Lacey and holding his hand, Ivy smiled wryly and stood there without moving: "It's useless, we have been marked by the high-concentration magic erosion just now, and we can't escape this time because I made a mistake in judgment, you Shouldn't have followed."

Lacey, who had rushed here ignoring the follow-up warning signals from his companions, frowned, but he did not regret his actions—the idea of ​​abandoning his companions did not appear in his simple and pure thinking circuit.

Facing the uncooperative companions, Lacey raised her hands anxiously to smooth her hair, and at the same time urged: "Although the dragon can fly, but with the speed and ability of the Shadow Leopard, we still have hope in the familiar forest." Persevere until rescue arrives, don't give up!"

Ivy just shook his head and sighed, straightened the short bow in his hand, and didn't explain much - Lacey lost consciousness before and didn't see the scene of the red dragon leaving, but he could see it clearly when he regained his senses from Longwei

That dragon is definitely not an ordinary juvenile red dragon.

And the anxious Lacey also understood at the next moment why Ai Wei showed such a desperate expression of giving up treatment - standing on the edge of the tiankeng, there was a sudden throbbing in his heart, and then he suddenly looked up and looked into the distance again. I saw the figure of the red dragon.

A figure flying past the treetops at an unimaginable speed.

The crimson dragon shadow with its wings spread flat and wrapped in white gauze waves passed over his head before Lacey could react, and he didn't even have time to roll his eyes.

In the roaring sound waves and hurricane impact that swept past after the dragon shadow passed by, Lacey and his companion, who supported each other and stood firm with Ivy, looked at each other stiffly, with a trace of horror and fear in the eyes of both sides.

Even though Ivey had seen the speeding figure of the red dragon before leaving, he still felt his body trembling when he saw this terrifying speed that surpassed sound and surpassed understanding again.

——It's too dangerous, the red dragon with this kind of mobility is too dangerous, it has to send the information back to the kingdom, forcing the priests and mages to find a way to deal with it.

In the sky full of fallen leaves, Lacey, who felt that her body was hurt by the supersonic impact wave, tried to calm down the fear in her heart and regained her weapon.

And the red dragon that passed over his head had left the supersonic flight state after a 360-degree roll at this moment, and landed with a strong wind.

Facing the fighting posture of the two elves who were less than his knees, the red dragon spewed hot air from its nostrils, and seemed to snort disdainfully, then lowered its body, and placed the object held by its front paws on the two elves. before.

It was a living skeleton ape that was still strong after going through all kinds of hardships.

Before Cheng Bin released the power accumulated in his body to show his challenge level to the two elves, and then flew in the direction of the huge ice and snow mountain to confirm all the interesting things.

Without crossing the mountains to leave the border of the future elf kingdom, Cheng Bin lingered near the mountains for a while and then flew back to the place where he met the elves——

He was not afraid of those two guys running away, after all, he was gently wrapped by his own power, and the breath was still very obvious. He didn't think the two elves could run very far under his supersonic cruise.

If there is a way to run away like a teleportation scroll, they must have slipped away when they burned the tiankeng themselves.

The red dragon, who landed next to the elf again, looked back at the ice and snow mountains that were almost covered by treetops—in fact, when he passed there for the first time, he had already sensed a faint resonance somewhere in the mountains. That's probably where one of his kind lives.

Cheng Bin has encountered this kind of distant fuzzy induction several times in the past, but the giant dragon does not seem to be a herd creature, and he has never encountered a situation where a fellow who resonates with him comes to greet him.

The red dragon withdrew his gaze and re-examined the knife-wielding elf with streamlined muscles on the ground. After returning to the vicinity of the snow-capped mountain for comparison, he could confirm that the resonance he felt on this elf was extremely similar to that of the giant dragon. resemblance.

It's just that the strength is very weak and extremely unstable.

——It is rare to meet stray elves with a certain power at the beginning, but judging from their obvious hostility, I am afraid that many things I am interested in are not so easy to ask. If you can read the technology of thinking and memory Enough.

After confronting the two stressful elves for a while, Cheng Bin reviewed the memories of Red Dragon Casa, then pointed to the tiankeng behind them and spoke in the common language of the elves.
