Chapter 71 The First Wave of Guests at the Wizard Tower
"Xiaomi, your lover is not one of those human traffickers mentioned on the Internet, right?"
Feng Yin pulled Ge Xiaomi to the stern, looked around at the redwood men with tattoos all over their arms, pistols on their waists, and long guns on their shoulders, and asked in a low voice.
The New Year is coming soon. Ge Xiaomi hasn't seen Lu He for a long time. She misses him very much, so she took her bestie to Hongmu to find Lu He.
The weather today is not very good. The rainforest is foggy, the sky is full of dark clouds, the river is full of all kinds of strange insects, and animal bones occasionally appear on the riverside. You can't see them further in, and the dense trees block your sight.
Ge Xiaomi was very happy. She started a live broadcast when she just entered the rainforest, and she didn't stop until the signal became worse.
But as time passed, she was a little scared after slowly going deeper into the rainforest.
But after hearing Feng Yin's words, Ge Xiaomi rolled her eyes at her. She believed in her big brother, of course, mainly because she also had her own unique judgment.
"You are such a pig brain. If you want to sell yourself, you should trick them into selling you in Pyu Country. We Chinese people can't sell you for a good price here. Why would they go to so much trouble to bring you here to sell you? It's a thankless job. You can easily catch a carload in the slums."
"Oh, that's right. This kind of business also requires a certain area. We are really not worth much here."
Feng Yin was relieved, but she was still scared when she saw the terrifying environment around her.
"What does your lover do?"
"Didn't they say he was mining in the mountains?"
"Is he a terrorist? He doesn't look like one. He looks fair and gentle."
"We also shared chocolate lollipops. He should still remember it, right?"
Feng Yin didn't have these thoughts at first. After all, she had met Lu He several times and had a good impression of him.
But in this situation, she still had wild thoughts in her mind.
Ge Xiaomi ignored her nonsense and looked at the river quietly, thinking about what her elder brother had said to her a few days ago, and gradually began to believe it a little bit.
The two people with wandering minds took a boat down the river and did not reach the shore until the next morning.
The place where they docked was a strange forest on one side.
Why did it feel strange? Because the color of the ground in the forest was completely opposite to that outside. It was green inside and normal black outside, and the difference was clear.
There was a gravel road in the middle of the forest. The two got on the car waiting there. The driver started the car, and after a while, the two disappeared in the somewhat dim forest.
The forest was very quiet, without any sound, and only a few birds were heard occasionally, and the annoying mosquitoes along the way suddenly disappeared here.
Very strange.
Twenty minutes later, a strange building more than 40 meters high appeared in their sight.
Woof woof woof!
Suddenly, three black dogs as big as calves rushed out of the forest beside the road and barked a few times.
"Fuck!" Feng Yin and Ge Xiaomi, who were already nervous, were frightened and almost peed.
Feng Yin noticed that not only they were frightened, but even the driver's hand in front of them was shaking.
The three big dogs seemed to just want to scare them. They barked and grinned, and stopped moving forward.
"What big dogs!" Ge Xiaomi was stunned.
"Not only big, but also black." Looking at the three black dogs running around in front and behind the car, Feng Yin sighed.
A few minutes later, the car stopped, and the driver pointed to the front, said a few words in dialect English that they couldn't understand, and then ran away without looking back.
The two stood there and looked at each other, then looked at the three big dogs behind them who were staring at them, and could only bite the bullet and walk forward.
In front of them was a brown tower-shaped building, which should be made of wood, but some places were shining with metallic luster.
The main door was very large and looked like it was made of wood. It was estimated to be more than five meters high. It was closed at this time. In the middle of the main door was a complex eye-like pattern. Green vines were entwined on the door. There was a brazier on each side, with red flames burning inside.
"Apprentice Lu He's home???"
Feng Yin looked at the crooked characters on it, and her head was full of question marks.
"You sit in the hall for a while. I'll come down after I finish my work."
Creaky!
With a slight sound, the door opened automatically, and a familiar voice came.
The two breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.
The hall was decorated in a modern style, which made the two people who were a little nervous and uneasy feel a little safe.
...
At night.
"So, I'm a wizard."
Lu He looked at the stunned two people with a sincere tone.
"Not a human trafficker?" Ge Xiaomi asked weakly, and at the same time took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Lu He.
"No." Lu He took it, smiled and shook his head.
Since he was promoted to a senior apprentice, he has become bolder and no longer hides it. Of course, he did not deliberately tell the world about it. Everything is left to nature.
Ge Xiaomi did not speak, holding Lu He's left hand in a daze. Now her mind is a little confused.
"I don't believe it." Seeing Lu He accept the lollipop, Feng Yin was completely relieved and began to lift the bar instinctively again.
"Well... then stretch out your hand."
Feng Yin hesitated for a second and stretched out her white little hand.
"Look, it's time to witness a miracle."
Lu He decided to show her his treasure. After seeing that both of them were concentrating, he stretched out his right hand and pointed his index finger at her palm.
A terrifying scene happened in front of the two.
Lu He's index finger split open, split into two halves, revealing the red and white flesh and bones inside, and then a fat white insect twisted its body and crawled out from inside, staying in Feng Yin's palm.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
In an instant, two screams rushed out of the wizard tower, echoing over the forest, breaking the usual tranquility of the rainforest.
Lu He was a little speechless about the reactions of the two.
He was very happy today because he upgraded the parasitic water bear into a companion insect.
Companion insects are an upgraded version of parasites, which bring more abilities to wizards. One of the most important abilities is that they will increase the wizard's resistance to some spells.
Especially curse spells, in extreme cases, they can also replace wizards to bear fatal curses.
Although it is useless to him, it also indirectly shows his progress in parasitic transformation.
Woof woof woof!
Sanhei rushed into the house and kept barking at the two.
Ge Xiaomi and Feng Yin looked at the bloody mouth and long tongue full of barbs in front of them, and their screams stopped abruptly.
"You two are too loud and disturbed their sleep."
After a long time, the two finally calmed down and slowly closed their mouths.
"I understand your feelings. It is difficult to accept this for a while, but this is the fact."
"Also, this is my witch dog. Although it is a little stupid and lazy, look at the nose I modified for them. Isn't it beautiful?"
Lu He turned the dog's head over, pointed at the big black nose, and showed them his first work.
Ge Xiaomi came back to her senses and carefully stroked Lu He's right index finger. I don't know what she was thinking.
Feng Yin shook off the sticky white fat bug in her palm. Thinking of what she saw and heard along the way, she had already believed Lu He's words in her heart.
She looked at the dog's nose that didn't look like a dog's nose, and the dog's legs that were too strong to look like dog's legs, and asked cautiously:
"Can I touch a few?"
"Uh... they are female."
Feng Yin: ...
Ge Xiaomi: ...
