Chapter 38: Huangmang small town
After a while, the blood colored skull mark in his palm finally calmed down.
“It’s all right now.” Long Yi softly whispered in the ear of Leng youyou.
The beautiful face of Leng Youyou became red, pushed Long Yi away and fell back two steps. Feeling awkward and complicated, she just stood there not knowing what to say.
“You.....” Lu Xiya pointed at Long Yi and Leng Youyou with shocked face, she didn’t know what had happened just a moment ago, she just saw that Long Yi suddenly hugged Leng Youyou, and Leng Youyou obediently stayed motionless in his embrace.
“What you, it’s already getting late, so we should get some sleep, as we need to wake up early in the morning tomorrow.” Long Yi lightly knocked the small head of Lu Xiya, then opened the door of his room, entered and shut the door, leaving behind two startled girls outside.
After Long Yi entered the room, he quickly opened the window, and just like a wisp of cyan smoke, he swept past and landed on the roof. After that just like a vigorous eagle, he scanned the crowds in the street, but he didn’t discover anything unusual. It seems the person who had casted Dark Temptation had concealed his magic fluctuation very well. Long Yi basically didn’t know where to start, so he helplessly return back inside his room and began to meditate whole-heartedly. This world was not simple at all, so he needs to increase his strength as soon as possible.
Leng Youyou and Lu Xiya were lying on the bed side by side, the whole room was dark, but their eyes were shining like a full moon in this darkness. It seems both of them were not sleepy at all.
Leng Youyou was naturally thinking about Long Yi, the sensation she felt when she was in contact with Long Yi was extremely mysterious and unfathomable. Thanks to his help just a moment ago, she was able to conceal her identity as a dark magician. Leng Youyou was certain that Long Yi had become aware of dark magic inside her body, but why did he had indifference expression? And why was he able to easily block the effect of Dark Temptation, in the end who is he? A series of questions kept on appearing in her mind, causing her to toss around on the bed.
“Elder sister Youyou, are you asleep?” In the end, Lu Xiya couldn’t bear and opened her mouth.
“M-hn, what’s the matter?” Leng Youyou asked absent-mindedly.
“A moment ago, just what happened a moment ago?” Lu Xiya asked, she felt that the scene of just a moment ago was a little bit unnatural, why did the two diametrically opposite people suddenly hugged each other like that.
Leng Youyou remained silent for a good while, then lightly replied: “Nothing, now sleep.”
“Oh.” Lu Xiya replied. She knew that Leng Youyou didn’t want to talk about it. She was not the type of people who didn’t know where to stop, so even though she was slightly curious and was also slightly uncomfortable, she stopped pestering.
The very long night gently slipped away under the respective train of thoughts of these two girls, sky gave off misty lights, and the bustling sounds in the street began to rise again one after another.
Long Yi and other two walked towards the eastern gate of Light city. Long Yi walked in the front, and two girls just like his maids, one at the left and other at the right followed him behind. All the way, with the exception of silence, they was only silence. Long Yi also didn’t know what happened to these two girls today, as if they had tacit agreement, both of them didn’t speak a single world from this morning.
A little while later, the trio finally arrived at Eastern gate. Swords Master Ha Lei, Fire system Magician Ge Leita, Light System Magician Lan Tian, Advance Fighter Shi Yanshou, and beast-human fighter Shi Manniu were waiting for them.
“Good morning everyone, are we late?” Long Yi greeted everyone with a smile.
“No, we also just got here.” Ha Lei as before had an honest smile on his face.
“Ha Lei, since everyone is here, let’s go.” Barbarian Bull loudly said. It seems he was somewhat too impatient to wait any longer. And he also looked like risk taking fanatics.
Ha Lei nodded, and waved his hand, after that the adventure team compose of eight individuals began to move towards Huangmang plain. They were in the formation which was commonly used by the adventure groups of Canglan continent. Fighters in the outside areas, magicians in the middle, and archer in the rear.
Huangmang plain was a boundless grassland expanding widely, but as a matter of fact, saying this plain was entirely grassland was not correct, because merely the periphery that could be seen was filled with green grass, after passing through this periphery grassland, the inside was more bleak and desolate, swamps were spread all over, and there were many wetlands, deserts and also numerous ferocious magical beasts all over. It is said that even S-class magical beasts appears in this place. This place was adventurer’s paradise, and simultaneously also a graveyard of adventurers. In the past many years, no one knows how many adventurers had lost their life here. But men will die for wealth, as birds for food, many adventurers enter this Huangmang plains which was a treasure trove full of dangers. A magic core of a single B-class magical beasts could be sold for 1000 Amethyst coins, and a magic core of A-class magical beasts could be sold for several thousand Amethyst coins, this was merely very common things, and naturally many peoples risk their lives to get these things.
Huangmang plain was located at the borderline of Kuanglong Empire and Aoyue Empire, and do not belongs to any empires’ jurisdiction, therefore this place didn’t have any law and order, even if you kill people in this place, no one will care about it.
Half a month later, Long Yi and others finally arrived at a small town at the edge of Huangmang plain, and surprisingly, this small town was very bustling. Various kind of shops had everything you could wish for, tens of thousands of adventurer of various profession and adventurers groups were flooded in this small town.
“Wow, this place is livelier than the previous second class city.” Lu Xiya exclaimed. She had already revert back to her former child disposition, and was chattering continuously.
“Everyone, be careful. Killing person is not illegal here, so we should not quarrel with others as much as possible.” Ha Lei warned. He was a little bit more knowledgeable about this place. Many high raked mercenary groups come here for their mission, so if they fight here, then they would only suffer losses.
Ge Leite snorted, clearly not agreeing to this. Long Yi found Ge Leite somewhat funny, it seems this guy who was more than 30 years in age, was merely a frog in a well, could it be that this guy believed that among all these amass adventurers in this small town, he could do anything he wants with his mere Advance fire element Magician ranked strength? In this place, it is of no surprise even if you encounter Mage, truly don’t know where all the food he had eaten for several tens of years had gone.
At this time, just when their party planned to look for an inn to rest, they suddenly sensed a strong magic and douqi fluctuation.
“We better not go over, and also don’t intervene.” Hai Lei warned.
Just when Ge Leita was about to express different opinion, suddenly a figure flew over from the chaos and landed on the ground near his foot. This was actually a half body of magician, and the intestine and internal organs were hanging down from the waist. The complexion of Ge Leita instantly become pale, then he hastily recede.
Lu Xiya also jumped back frightened, and reflexively tightly held the sleeve of Long Yi’s garment. After that she didn’t dare to look over.
“Yi, Master Magician of Aoyue Empire’s Magician guild.” After carefully looking at the magic robe of this half corpse, Ha Lei exclaimed in surprise.
