After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up - Chapter 34.2

Chapter 34.2

Since you didn’t need it, then did you only accept it then knowing you would give it to him now?

Wait, it couldn’t be true, could it?

Wen Yao was startled, and her steps subconsciously stopped.

Seeing that Wen Yao was falling behind, Mu Heng turned to look,

“What are you waiting for?”

His silver hair and blue eyes almost merged with the blizzard behind him, making him look alienated and indifferent, almost like an ice sculpture.

Wen Yao shook her head to dismiss the thought that should not have appeared in her mind.

She must be thinking wrong, it was probably just a coincidence.

She rearranged her thoughts and hurriedly walked forward, “It’s nothing, Chief.”

Inside the tent.

Shi An peered at the fire gem in his hand, and the red color of the gem was reflected in his wide eyes.

“It looks good…”

What a beautiful and warm fire, so vividly solidified in the gem, it was a perfect combination of two things that Shi An loves most.

Shi An took off his gloves, put the gem into his pale palm, and narrowed his eyes contentedly.

Most importantly, it was so warm!

At this time, the demon insect that was tucked into Shi An’s sleeve finally came out and asked quietly, “Are you leaving?”

Shi An: “Yes.”

He threw off the two jackets that imprisoned him and carefully stuffed the fire gem into the innermost pocket. After making sure that it was radiating warmth close to his chest, Shi An turned around and walked out of the tent.

He asked a few people for directions and finally found the tent where his teammates were.

As soon as Shi An entered, he was surrounded by the four people.

Wang Li and Zhao She looked at him worriedly, “Are you okay? Are you injured?”

“When I fought the skeleton horse earlier, you were gone as soon as I turned around, and I was really anxious,” Wu Huancheng said.

Chen Meng frowned. Although there was still concern in her eyes, she said firmly, “Where have you been? Didn’t you know that we would be worried?”

Shi An said that he lost his way in the heavy snow, and then met Mu Heng while wandering in the snow.

He didn’t blink, as if he didn’t hide any crucial details.

After confirming that nothing happened to Shi An, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat back by the fire again.

Zhao She vividly described their capture by the mercenaries and the accidental rescue by the skeleton horse.

“This kind of thing is so bizarre…” Wu Huancheng sighed, shook his head and said, “Even when I think about it now, it feels like a dream…”

“So, why did that skeleton horse let us go?” Chen Meng frowned and asked with a puzzled face.

It stood to reason that the undead monster would attack all the living creatures in front of them, just like when they encountered it on the mountain road. When they were in the mercenary camp before,s he was very sure that the skeleton horse saw them, but as if it were worried about something, it turned around and left.

Did these monsters actually have scruples? How could it be?

Zhao She shrugged and nibbled on a piece of bread carelessly, “I know, in short, I got out of trouble.”

Shi An bit his tongue, nodded in agreement, and said vaguely, “That’s right.”

“However, there is one thing that is difficult to forget.” Wang Li said suddenly.

Several other people looked at him in unison.

“When the mercenary saw the map, he said, ‘did you also come for the dragon’?”

Wang Li frowned, showing a puzzled look.

……Hm?

Inexplicably, the mentioned Shi An swallowed the food in his mouth and raised his eyes to look at Wang Li.

“But aren’t dragons extinct?” Zhao She was also taken aback.

Wu Huancheng added, “Not just dragons, all fantasy species are extinct.”

“Do the elven ruins have anything to do with dragons?” Wang Li guessed.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, “I don’t know…”

“Oh, but it’s useless to say anything now.” Zhao She shook his head and sighed, “Now we are about to be sent down the mountain by Chief Mu, and the next visit will be next year at the earliest.”

“I suppose……”

Wang Li, “But fortunately, the mercenaries are also under control. Although we can’t enter the mountain in winter, other people can’t enter either. After waiting for half a year at most, the ruins will still be ours.”

“Yeah.”

“Speaking of which, where did Shi An go?” Chen Meng suddenly realized and looked up.

“He walked out while we were talking.” Zhao She didn’t take this to heart, “What are you worried about, this is Chief Mu’s camp, and nothing will happen.”

Chen Meng nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s true.”

On the other side.

Shi An took out the tent and, relying on his innocent face, quickly asked where Mu Heng was going.

“My, my lord,” the demon insect suddenly had an ominous feeling in its heart, “What do you want to do?”

Shi An said confidently, “I heard Wen Yao say in the tent just now that a mercenary wanted to talk to Mu Heng… He must know something!”

He wanted to come here to see if he could collect a little treasure, but he didn’t expect that this place was actually related to dragons?

Demon insect: “Wait, you, you don’t want to continue with Mu Heng, do you?”

Boohoo, it didn’t want to be frozen anymore!

Shi An, “Of course!”

The worm tried to struggle, “Didn’t you get your favorite gem now? Why not just wait until next year…”

Shi An patted his own chest.

The fire gem was sitting there, radiating warm heat.

Shi An thought for a while, “It’s different.”

Before he knew the news, it didn’t really matter if he left the mountain.

But now, no matter whether the dragon was referring to himself or some other dragon, he absolutely could ignore this crucial information.

After all, it might have something to do with the treasure that disappeared!

“Also, its heat is just average!” Shi An spit out.

The worm was stunned for a moment, “Huh?”

It continued unbelievingly, “Is there anything warmer than a fire gem? Impossible.”

Shi An nodded seriously, “Really!”

In the hospital that day, he hugged it in a dream!

With its soothing warmth and scorching heat, even the Fire Gem was slightly inferior to it.
