{MTL} ✅After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

ch 34

   "Report sir, the trapped student has been rescued successfully!" Wen Yao reported neatly.

Behind her are Wang Li and the others.

They looked particularly embarrassed, and their clothes were still splashed with frozen blood clots, but fortunately, they were only a little frightened and were not injured.

Mu Heng walked forward with a cold air in his body, his pale blue eyes drooping slightly, and his gaze fell on the four people in front of him.

Invisible pressure was approaching, pressing heavily on the shoulders of the students in front of him.

They swallowed involuntarily and had difficulty breathing.

Even though they were trapped in the heartland of mercenaries just now, they didn't feel so restless.

This... is this what it feels like to be caught?

Suddenly, Chen Meng exclaimed in a low voice: "Shi An!"

The rest of the people were stunned and looked up.

The young man stood not far from Mu Heng, his face flushed red from the cold, looking pitiful.

Of course it's nice to have a lost companion unharmed, but...

how much does a person really need to wear to wrap themselves in a ball?

Several people slowly showed the same delicate expression.

"Let's talk about it." Mu Heng's voice was low and light: "Why are you going up the mountain this season?" The

four of them looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

Mr. Mu is different from those mercenaries. The school year trip or something is a lie in front of the other party.

But...do you want to tell the truth?

Wang Li gritted his teeth and fell silent.

Unexpectedly, Mu Heng did not ask.

He beckoned to Wen Yao: "Assign them to a tent, provide dinner, and rest for half the night."

However, before waiting for a few people to breathe a sigh of relief, Mu Heng continued: "Tomorrow morning, send them down the mountain."

Wang Li Startled: "But...!"

He raised his head to meet Mu Heng's gaze, and swallowed the second half of the words stuck in his throat.

Mu Heng looked back: "Go out."

No matter how reluctant they were, the four of them could only bow to Mu Heng, and then followed Wen Yao out.

Shi An crept up to keep up, preparing to take the opportunity to sneak out together.

But before he took a few steps, he felt that the collar of his clothes was being grabbed.

Shi An: "..."

He turned his head, and what caught his eye was Mu Heng's quiet face, his silver-white eyelashes drooped, and his voice was cold:

"What are you doing with the past?"

Shi An: "... "..." The

figures of Wang Li and the four had disappeared from sight, and only he and Mu Heng were left in front of them.

Mu Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Shi An, who hung his head in a guilty conscience, as if he had been caught for doing something wrong.

"Why did you follow them in?" He frowned and looked cold.

Shi An raised his head: "?"

Huh?

This sentence sounds like the other party feels that he is being tricked over...?

The young man raised his head, his dark eyes were puzzled, and he seemed extraordinarily ignorant and innocent.

Mu Heng's gaze stopped for a moment on the plush rabbit earmuffs the other party was wearing, and the original question stopped at his mouth, but he didn't say it in the end.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked.

It took Shi An a few seconds to realize that the other party was talking about his previous hospitalization.

Although he didn't know why Mu Heng suddenly changed the subject, he still answered obediently: "It's better."

Mu Heng glanced at Shi'an up and down, and landed on the three layers of the boy's body, wrapping himself tightly. on the cotton coat.

Suddenly, he subconsciously remembered that the other day in the hospital, the other party was shaking and holding his arm and not letting go.

Mu Heng: "So afraid of the cold?"

Shi An nodded honestly: "Super afraid."

"Since you are so afraid of the cold, what are you doing in the mountains this season?" Mu Heng raised his eyebrows, his expression still solemn.

Shi An: "..."

If it wasn't for the treasure, he wouldn't come to this ghostly place where the weather is cold and the earth is freezing!

At this moment, Wen Yao opened the curtain and walked in.

She said: "The students have already arranged, and the mercenaries who have escaped have also been controlled by us. One of them seems to want to be able to interview you. It seems that he has the information you need."

Mu Heng nodded and walked out. .

After taking two steps, he stopped, took out a slap-sized ball from his pocket, and threw it to Shi An.

Shi An hurriedly borrowed it.

The ball was heavy in his hand, and even through the thick fleece gloves, he could still feel a constant and steady heat radiating into his palm.

He looked down.

It was a light red sphere, shining brightly in the dark, looking warm and round.

This, this is... a fire gem!

Shi An held the gem in front of him, his eyes slightly widened.

Legend has it that a precious gem containing the ancient fire element, even a small piece, can radiate heat continuously as long as it is placed beside it.

Even in the past Shi An, there were only two pieces in the cave, and they were all about the same size as the one in his hand.

Almost instantly, Shi An felt a warm feeling in his frozen fingers.

He blinked, looked up at Mu Heng's back, and asked hesitantly,

"Send it, gave it to me?"

Shang Shian thought that the shiny silver bracelet was for him. .

But in the end, he found out that it was actually a testing instrument, which disappointed him for a long time.

"Yeah."

Mu Heng paused, and said lightly, "Take it."

After that, he opened the tent's curtain and walked out.

Wen Yao followed Mu Heng's side and couldn't help but turn her head to look behind her.

The curtain of the tent fell, covering the figure of the young man.

After all, she couldn't hold back, and hesitantly said, "That...sir, isn't that gem a gift from the governor of this Aiwen area?"

Mu Heng was in a hurry this time, so except for a few The cronies, the rest were not brought.

The search team this time is basically a member of the local administration, and all the materials and equipment are provided by the Aiwen Regional Administration.

Due to Mu Heng's status, the other party naturally tried to please him in every possible way. In addition to the necessary action materials, he also collected a lot of rare treasures to avoid the cold, and this fire gem was one of them.

——Except this gem, Mu Heng left nothing, and directly returned the original number of other things.

Mu Heng glanced down at Wen Yao and said lightly,

"I don't need it."

What Mu Heng said was the truth.

Contrary to the cold and indifferent appearance, his body temperature has always been high, and he is almost never afraid of severe cold. Even if he comes to this canyon for a mission, he is only wearing a slender windbreaker, which is the only one in the entire team. Lightweight.

Wen Yao endured and swallowed the doubts in her heart.

Since you don't need it, then accept it at the beginning, is it just to give it away now?

Wait, it can't be true, can it?

Wen Yao was startled, and her steps subconsciously stopped.

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

"What are you waiting for?"

The man in front of him with silver hair and blue eyes almost merged with the blizzard behind him, looking alienated and indifferent, like an inhumane ice sculpture.

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

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

She rearranged her thoughts and hurriedly accelerated a few steps: "It's nothing, sir."

Inside the tent.

Shi An cherished 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 firelight, so vividly solidified in the gem, it is 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's so warm!

At this time, the magic worm that was tucked into Shi An's sleeve and pretending to be dead finally came out and said quietly, "Are people gone?"

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 Wang Liji and his people were.

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

Wang Li and Zhao She looked at him worriedly: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"When I met the skeleton horse earlier, you were gone as soon as I turned around, and I was really scared by you again." Wu Huan Cheng Dao.

Chen Meng frowned. Although there was still concern in his eyes, he said firmly, "Where have you been? Don't you know that others will be worried?"

Shi An said that he lost his way in the heavy snow. Then he 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 came over and told Shi An vividly that they were trapped in the enemy's line, and then said again about the accidental rescue by the skeleton horse.

"This kind of thing is so bizarre..." Wu Huancheng sighed and shook his head: "Even if I think about it now, it feels like I'm dreaming..."

"So, why did that skeleton horse let us go? ?" Chen Meng frowned and said suspiciously.

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

Will the Necrons actually have scruples? how is this possible?

Zhao She shrugged and nibbled a piece of bread carelessly: "I know, in short, it's enough to get out of trouble."

Shi An chomped in his mouth, nodded in agreement, and said vaguely, "That's right."

"But, There is one thing that makes it hard for me to forget." Wang Li said suddenly.

Several other people looked at him in unison.

"The mercenary said when he saw the map, did you come for the dragon too?"

Wang Li frowned, showing a puzzled look.

......Um?

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

"But isn't the dragon extinct?" Zhao She was also taken aback.

Wu Huancheng added: "Not only dragons, all fantasy species have become extinct."

"Does the elf ruins we plan to go to 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 time we come again at the latest. It's next year."

"Yeah..."

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. At most, wait for half a year. It's still ours."

"Yes, yes."

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

"It's just about halfway out." 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 right. Yes." On the

other side.

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

"Sir, sir," the worm suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart: "What do you want?"

Shi An said with certainty: "I heard Wen Yao in the tent just now that there was a mercenary who wanted to be with Mu Heng. Talk...he must know something!"

He wanted to just 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 worm: "Wait, you, you don't want to continue to follow Mu Heng, do you?"

It doesn't want to be frozen anymore!

Shi An: "Of course!" The

worm tried to struggle: "Didn't you get the gem you like now? Why don't you just... next year..."

Shi An touched his 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 didn't go down the mountain.

But now, no matter whether the dragon refers to himself or not, he absolutely cannot 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 thought about it and said.

The demon worm was stunned: "Huh?"

It was a little unbelievable: "Is there anything warmer than a fire gem? Impossible."

Shi An nodded seriously: "Really!"

In the hospital that day, he was there Embrace it in a dream!

Warm and scorching hot, even the Fire Gem was slightly inferior to it.
