Chapter 67 Floating in Amber
They didn’t stay in the snowfield for long, but just walked around in the snow forest. When they saw what seemed to be a snow ghost in the distance, Russell and his party jumped back to the large patio.
Ended with a quick glance at the snowfield.
“There’s nothing good-looking in the snowfield. It’s monotonous white with a little bit of gray autumn green. That’s all.” Charles returned to the burrow and began to chatter endlessly, “Sir, please don’t be so radical next time. It would be no joke if we were besieged by snow ghosts.”
“Don’t be nervous, Teacher Charles. Didn’t we walk back and forth safely?”
“But this is wrong. Without Eric, it is difficult for us to ensure your safety, sir. If we encounter a heavy snow ghost, Kevin alone will not be enough. Kevin is still in the growth stage. As a phantom beast, his The strength is still growing.”
“Even so.” Russell interrupted with a smile, “But we can’t stay in the warm land forever, and we will always have to fight the snow ghosts.”
In fact, Russell couldn’t wait.
The little dream dragon is in a dark dreamland, but it is waiting for food, hoping to eat more ice beads, otherwise it will be difficult for it to grow.
If in the past, his strength was not enough to support him in hunting snow ghosts, he could only stay in Wuyao Snake Manor and practice quietly to strengthen himself.
But the unexpected appearance of the golden and silver wolf dog Kevin created the fantasy beast knight Eric.
This undoubtedly gave Russell enough capital to start hunting snow ghosts now. Collecting ice beads can make money much faster than farming.
after all.
An ice bead is equivalent to a gold coin, and a high-quality ice bead can even be sold for more than a dozen gold coins.
Katie, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around and said, “Sir, can you take me with you when hunting snow ghosts?”
“You?” Russell shook his head, “Katie, knights are born to hunt snow ghosts. As a ranger, just help me secure the manor territory.”
The ranger’s fighting spirit is too weak and he follows a light and agile route, which is of no use against the snow ghost.
Snow ghosts are all “macho men” with rough skin and thick flesh. Only knights who also follow the “macho” route can fight against snow ghosts head-on.
Her eyes darkened, and Katie sighed inaudibly: “Can rangers only display their talents in the caves?”
Charles immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: “Katie, what makes you want to go to the snowfield to fight? Wouldn’t it be good to stay in the manor? Everyone has different responsibilities, and hunting snow ghosts is not the only way. ”
“Nothing, I just want to hunt snow ghosts.” Katie smiled perfunctorily.
Russell’s eyes moved, and he seemed to understand Katie’s thoughts. She may have plotted against Lone Wolf Lisbon and felt that her hands were stained with the blood of her own people, so she wanted to hunt the Snow Ghost to cleanse the blood on her hands.
However, the ranger is really not suitable for fighting in the snowfield.
So Russell didn’t say much. Maybe after living a life in the sun for a while, Katie would naturally untie her knot.
When leaving the Xiangshui River Caves, Russell only took Kevin, the golden and silver wolf dog with him.
Eric, Katie, Charles and others stayed in the cave to integrate all the free people, and the four knights’ retinue also stayed to assist.
“The Xiangshui River Catacombs were temporarily changed to Diku Tun. Free citizens who wanted to return to life under the sun were dispersed into several villages on the manor. Those who were unwilling to leave the caves were made into serfs in the Diku Tun on the spot. ” Russell left guidance.
In the future, the Xiangshui River Caves will have two organizational structures.
One is the field structure of the underground cave village, and the other is the border defense structure of the underground cave patrol team to ensure the safety of the south side of the Black-waisted Snake Manor.
“Huh, the air outside is better, fresh and natural.” Standing in the sun, Russell stretched, “The air in the cave is too dirty and too cold. Although I have Dou Qi to protect my body, I still can’t Comfortable.”
“Wow.” Kevin responded in agreement.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the Crooked Blade Mountain.” Russell took Kevin and quickly rushed to the mountain col where he was ambushed last night.
In order to prevent his secret from being exposed, he had to endure it until now before digging into the rock wall for suspected gems.
“Kevin, help me guard.”
“Woof!”
Kevin immediately jumped to a nearby rock and watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.
Continue digging for a while.
finally.
The existence of the suspected gem was exposed. First, a touch of golden color was revealed. As Russell continued to dig, the whole thing was exposed, and it turned out to be a golden transparent stone.
It is about the size of an adult’s fist and has an irregular oval shape.
A faint magical aura circulated on the stone. Russell lifted it up and faced the setting sun. He could clearly see that a butterfly with open wings was wrapped inside the transparent golden stone.
“Is this amber?” Russell was surprised.
But then he recalled something from the memory of his predecessor, and his breathing began to quicken: “No, no, no, this is not ordinary amber, this is an amber worm! It is extremely rare, even rarer than a flying dragon. Amberworm!”
Dragons, wyverns, elves, and mushroom bugs are not the only magical creatures in Longmian Continent.
In fact, there are some weird and magical creatures.
For example, the big river clams that Russell fished from the Youguang River gave birth to magical creatures like pearls, which are themselves a magical creature.
And now, the piece of amber in his hand is also a magical creature.
“There is a magical aura circulating, and Xiao Menglong and I also saw it glow last night. This is an amber worm!” According to legend, amber worms are small animals and plants wrapped in amber in ancient times. They are buried deep underground and protected by the earth. The nourishment of power.
Over time, the small animals and plants in amber undergo magical changes and become magical creatures.
However, because amber worms are so rare, the magic of amber worms is unclear.
At least the predecessor didn’t know what the amber worm was used for.
“Anyway, the amber worm is in my hand. I will know its use soon… Oh, by the way, let’s make a contract first and wake up the amber worm!” Russell carefully observed the amber in his hand for a while, then scratched it with his fingernails. own fingers.
Squeeze out two drops of blood from your fingertips and drip onto the amber stone.
Like elf bugs and mushroom bugs, the contract method of amber bugs also uses blood as the medium and is driven by magic power such as fighting spirit.
This contract method is spontaneous and does not require deliberate guidance.
The next moment.
The blood droplets seemed to seep into it and were completely absorbed by the amber.
In an instant, Russell felt that there was a faint sound of breathing in his thoughts. At the same time, the seemingly dancing butterfly in the amber stone slowly flapped its wings that had not moved once in tens of millions of years.
Click!
With the flapping of the butterfly’s wings, the entire amber stone quickly shattered into powder and slipped from Russell’s palm.
Only the butterfly, which had been wrapped in amber for countless years, began to truly dance.
It is very different from ordinary butterflies. The four-petal wings are not wide, but appear slender, like four broad swords. When it flaps its wings, it looks like four broad swords waving at the same time. With the silver-gray color of its body, it looks more like four swords.
There is no sound, the butterflies are very silent as they fly.
But Russell had already felt the free and cheerful emotions released by this butterfly-type amber bug in his heart.
At this moment, the fluttering butterfly suddenly rushed towards Russell’s palm, and like a ray of light, it suddenly disappeared into the palm of his hand.
Russell raised his hand and looked.
The “M”-shaped mark belonging to the little Menglong flickered spontaneously, and a butterfly the size of a sesame seed appeared on the side, dancing around the “M”-shaped mark.
