{MTL} ✅After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

ch 31

 When he opened his eyes again, the sky was bright.

Shi An lazily rolled over and stretched out on the bed.

He just caught a cold, not a big problem. After taking the medicine, he slept honestly for one night, and the pain was basically gone, and there was no trace.

The sunlight outside the window was very dazzling, and the room was bright.

Shi An slowly got up.

It always felt like a long dream.

In the dream, I seemed to see my long-lost treasure, shining brightly in a dark and dry cave.

He jumped up and hugged and didn't let go.

I don't know why, but the treasure that was supposed to be cold and hard, actually felt warm when I hugged it, and it was even a little hot, which quickly dispelled the darkness of cold and pain.

Speaking of which, what kind of treasure could have this texture?

Fire gems? Warm jade?

Hmm, that doesn't seem right.

Shi An leaned against the head of the bed, yawned, and thought to himself.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Wang Li walked in behind the doctor.

He looked at Shi An and said, "I have talked to the doctor just now. Your body index tests are all normal. You should be able to be discharged this afternoon .

"

Pulling up a chair and sitting down in front of Shi An's bed, he simply told him what the other three agreed to, and then instructed him in detail on what to prepare for the next task. Finally, he concluded :

"The ruins of that abyss fissure are very far away. Since the season of closing the mountain is coming soon, we must leave as soon as possible."

Shi An filled his mouth with steamed buns and asked vaguely, "How soon? "

Wang Li timely handed a glass of warm water over:

"We will leave tomorrow afternoon."

Shi An took the warm water and poured it down.

Wang Li frowned uneasy: "Slow down, don't choke."

I don't know when it started, he seemed to get used to the extra worrying behavior of the young man in front of him, and began to worry about the other party subconsciously.

Shi An put the half-empty glass on the head of the bed, and answered cheerfully,

"Tomorrow? No problem!"

Although his face was still pale, his eyes shone with eagerness to try.

Treasures, the sooner you get them, the better.

Wang Li nodded.

He stood up to leave, but hesitated for a few seconds as he turned.

Finally, he decided to ask the question in his heart: "By the way, how was your chat with Chief Mu yesterday?"

Shi An: "...Ah?"

He blinked and stared blankly at Wang Li in front of him, as if he didn't Understand the meaning of the other party's words: "What?"

Wang Li was startled.

The doubts on Shi An's face are very real, and there is no fraudulent element.

Could it be that Chief Mu didn't come in yesterday?

its not right.

Wang Li's mouth twitched slightly.

He pointed to the dark sleeve that was being held down by Shi An: "That, what is it?"

"Eh?" Shi An seemed to notice it.

He moved to the side, then pulled a coat from under his body forcefully.

The fabric is thick and high-grade, and it seems to be hand-cut, but it is crumpled and wrinkled at the moment, and there is still a little warm temperature on it.

"Whose is this?" Shi An was greatly puzzled by this.

Wang Li: "..."

This is definitely the coat that Chief Mu wore yesterday!

He couldn't help but raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, and simply told Shi An about the encounter with Mu Heng outside the ward yesterday.

Shi An showed a stunned expression: "Oh, no wonder, why did I say so familiar!"

After all, Mu Heng's last coat is still with him.

The old housekeeper washed it carefully and asked him to return it to others, but Shi An turned his face and forgot.

As a result, not only has it not been returned, but there is one more piece in hand.

"Anyway, we haven't talked." Shi An scratched his head: "I should have fallen asleep when he came."

After getting the exact answer, Wang Li didn't think much about it, he nodded at Shi An, then turned and left the ward.

Before taking a few steps, Wang Li suddenly stopped.

Standing in the empty hallway, he suddenly realized a problem with hindsight.

That's not right...

Since Shi An was not awake when Mu Heng arrived yesterday, how did the officer's coat get into Shi An's arms?

Wang Li shook his head vigorously to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind.

It must be a misunderstanding, a kind of misunderstanding that he has not thought of yet but can be perfectly explained!

After forcibly turning the black smoke into his own subject, Shi An left it at home to look after the house.

After all, the bed and pillows in the room were made by Shi An who worked hard to collect the treasure. Who knew that those two humans would take his treasure for himself while he was gone? !

After everything was ready, Shi An waved his hand to say goodbye to the housekeeper, and turned to the car that Wang Li drove over.

The cabin is large, and the interior is far more spacious than it looks from the outside.

Wang Li looked up and was about to say hello to Shi An who had just gotten into the car, but was startled by the huge backpack stuffed behind him.

He was stunned for two seconds, but in the end he couldn't hold back and asked,

"That...you are all, what are you pretending to be?"

Wang Li seriously reflected on it in his heart.

After all, most of the supplies are prepared by him, and others should be able to set off with some personal belongings.

Could it be that there is something else that I have not considered?

"Wait a minute."

Shi An took off the backpack and placed it on the seat heavily, making a muffled sound. He pulled the backpack away, took out a bag of small biscuits from it, and tore it open.

Shi An handed it over with a sincere look: "Want to eat?"

Wang Li: "..." The

other three: "..."

- so what do you think this trip is for? !

far away.

The butler stood at the door with a look of relief and melancholy, watching the vehicles become smaller and smaller in his field of vision.

He wiped the corners of his eyes in an unnoticeable manner.

Alas, the child has grown up.

Not only made friends, but even made outings with friends.

Oh, it's nice to be young.

Zhuo Fu raised his hand, knocked on the door, and walked in.

"The final location of the target mercenary group has been determined. According to other relevant information, we have finally determined their next target location."

Mu Heng raised his eyes and looked over: "Speak."

Zhuo Fu turned over the mission document in his hand. Open a page and put it on Mu Heng's table: "It was a site of the abyss crack, it was seven or eight years ago, because the area is not small, so the bureau attaches great importance to it, but since it was closed, it has never been seen again. Any abnormal fluctuations were detected, so the surveillance over there was relaxed."

He frowned in confusion: "What is that mercenary group going to do there?"

During this time, the mercenary group has been in various Looking for traces of dragons in underground intelligence stations and the black market, there is a kind of momentum that will not stop until the dragon is found, but before the dragon is found, they suddenly change the destination, which is really hard to think about.

Could it be that there is something in that crack that can help them find the dragon?

Zhuo Fu seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at Mu Heng:

"By the way, I remember that you were in charge of dealing with the crack site? Did you find anything unusual at the beginning?"

Mu Heng did not answer.

His deep-set eyebrows were lowered, and he glanced at the information on the folder in front of him.

Zhuo Fu has long been used to the other party's indifferent attitude, and he is not too entangled.

He said: "In short, if this task is to be taken up, it should start today at the latest, and the mountain should be closed in a few days. Don't worry about the specific materials, I will talk to the person in charge over there. Greetings."

Mu Heng nodded, stretched out his hand to close the task documents in front of him: "Thank you."

After saying that, he stood up and picked up the coat that was on the side.

Zhuo Fu blinked strangely and said, "Eh? Did you change your coat?"

Mu Heng's coat is basically custom-made, which can defend against part of the magic splash and attack.

Although they are all the same style, Zhuo Fu can still keenly discover that this one seems to be much newer than the one Mu Heng wore a few days ago.

He couldn't help laughing:

"I remember that the last time you lost your coat was the previous Academy of the able-bodied, what's wrong? This time you saved a child again?"

Mu Heng put on his coat for a moment.

At that moment, the memory that was not too long came back to life again.

There seemed to be a warm and soft touch on the wrist, and an imperceptible itch stayed on that piece of skin, making Mu Heng subconsciously tense up, as if he had returned to the helpless few minutes.

Mu Heng's eyes were cold, and the whole body was covered with low air pressure.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhuo Fu, who was doing nothing serious behind him, and asked, "I think you are very busy? How is the research on that sword?"

Zhuo Fu: "..."

He was like frost. The eggplant slumped down, gritted his teeth unwillingly: "There must be some ancient magic attached to it, but you won't let me sample..."

Mu Heng sneered and turned to go out.

"Wait, what do you mean! Do you look down on people!" Zhuo Fu exclaimed in exasperation.

Mu Heng didn't look back, the office door closed behind him, blocking the other party's voice behind him.

He lowered his eyes indifferently, put on the gloves, and pulled them firmly.

That small patch of skin was tightly covered.

Originally, Wang Li was worried that the heavy luggage would slow down Shi'an's movements, but what he didn't expect was that before reaching the destination, more than half of the bag, which was still bulging, went down.

...basically he ate it all by himself.

Wang Li glanced at Shi An's flat belly in disbelief. He couldn't understand. Can a normal human stomach really hold so many snacks?

"That... don't you leave a little bit to eat when you return home?"

Wang Li asked vaguely.

Shi An opened the jelly for a while, and suddenly looked at Wang Li in horror: "Wait, does that mean I'll be gone when I finish the return trip?"

Wang Li's mouth twitched: "Not really. This means..."

Shi An breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Wang Li: "I mean, don't you worry about eating too much stomach pain?"

After all, he had seen the other party kill eight cups of super large servings at one time. Ice cream and then straight into the hospital's glorious deeds.

"Don't worry, the last time was just an accident!"

Shi An paused, and then continued seriously: "Besides, you have the energy to work when you are full!"

Wang Li: "..."

Just be happy.

They hurried on the road for a full eight hours and changed transportation three times before finally reaching their destination.

As soon as he got out of the car, Shi An was caught off guard by the oncoming cold.

The whistling lingering storm wrapped in thin ice and snow, and cut towards them like a knife blade, and it hurt on the face.

Shi An shivered and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Thick snow was piled up on the ground, the sky was dark, and as far as the eyes could see, there was an uninhabited ice field. The storm was whistling and swirling on the ice field. what.

Shi An: "..."

When he was a dragon, he was not afraid of the cold at all. After all, unlike humans, who had to keep warm to survive, and with thick scales to protect his body, it was no problem for him to roll on the highest snow-capped mountains.

But since becoming a human, there is no scale, no body that is not afraid of severe cold, but the low body temperature of cold-blooded animals is preserved for some reason.

He, he is so afraid of the cold!

Shi An looked at Wang Li with tears in his eyes: "You, didn't you say we're going to the Aiwen area?" Is

n't Aiwen a valley like spring all year round? !

Wang Li nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, Ai Wenxueyuan."

Shi An: "..."

He forgot that he had been asleep for too long, and the terrain of the entire continent became different from what he remembered!

Wang Li distributed the clothes that applied thermal insulation magic to the team members, and then said: "It is very difficult to enter the mountain this season, especially at night. We will rest outside the mountain tonight and enter the mountain tomorrow morning.

" He walked toward the only hotel in the distance with a deep foot, leaving a long series of footprints on the thick snow.

Shi An shrank his head in the thick padded jacket, his head drooping sadly.

Although it was much better than before, it was still very cold...

He sniffed, his ears and nose tip were frozen red in just a few seconds, his dark eyes were teary, and he looked so pitiful.

Chen Meng, who was on the side, said coldly, "You know how to pack so many snacks, but don't you know what to prepare to keep out the cold?"

She raised her hand and threw something in the past: "Next."

Shi An hurriedly borrowed it and looked down. .

It is a fluffy earmuff, pink, with a cute pattern of cartoon rabbits on it, full of girly hearts.

Chen Meng's tone was still stiff: "I have an extra set and I'll lend it to you."

Before waiting for the time to thank her, she turned around and quickened her pace to keep up with the person in front.

Soon, a group of five entered the hotel.

The hotel was brightly lit, and the magic-powered fireplace was burning warmly. The warm orange light enveloped the small storefront, which was completely different from the desolate and icy snowfield outside, as if entering another world.

Wang Li tore off his gloves, turned to the front desk, and negotiated with the staff in a low voice.

The other four were waiting in the waiting area.

The fireplace on the side crackled and sparks splashed, but it seemed to have encountered some invisible barrier and disappeared before jumping out.

The waiter brought warm honey water.

The warmth that had long disappeared returned to the body again, and several people unbuttoned their jackets to breathe, only Shi An still wrapped himself tightly, as if he hadn't recovered from the severe cold just now.

Zhao She asked suspiciously, "Aren't you a fire element?"

Shi An held the cup and said weakly,

"This doesn't conflict with my fear of cold..."

At this time, Wu Huancheng on the side said, "The temperature outside the mountain is warm. It's still quite high, the environment in the mountain is even harsher than here, and in the vicinity of this mountain, no natural flame can burn, only the flame condensed by magic power."

Shi An took a sip of honey water, originally pale His face was steamed with heat and finally turned a little bloody.

He asked curiously: "That's why you have to bring a fire element?"

"Not only that," Wu Huancheng shook his head: "Besides, there are—"

But before he finished speaking, Wang Li turned around and left. come over.

Different from the ease just now, his face was ugly at the moment, as if a layer of dark clouds shrouded his face.

Wu Huancheng stopped talking, stood up, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Li wearily raised his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and took a deep breath: "I talked to the front desk just now when I checked in. Just a few words, the front desk said that they basically had no one in this season in previous years, and I don't know why so many tourists came at one time this time."

Several people were surprised: "What?"

Wang Li looked solemn: "Before For a few days, a team of more than ten people has also stayed here, and they just checked out and left this morning, and they seem to be heading into the canyon."

Wu Huancheng's expression also became ugly: "You mean..."

Wang Li nodded: "Yes, it is very likely that there are more than us who know the treasure information, and it is obvious that they are one step ahead of us now."

"What are you going to do?" Chen Meng asked with a frown.

Wang Li seems to have already had the answer.

He gave a copy of the proof of entering the mountain to each of the four in front of him, and then said: "Although it will be more dangerous at night, but according to the current situation, we can't stay in the hotel, we can only travel at night.

" Stuff, of course, who discovered who first.

The three were startled.

Wang Li reassured: "Don't worry, the fire element in our team is very strong, so there should be no problem."

After speaking, he turned to look at Shi An: "Are you right--"

I saw a young man not far away like being struck by lightning , with a desperate expression: "Now, are you leaving now?"

"...Don't you even eat dinner?"
