145 Investigate to the End
Qing Niao stood up. “You’re leaving? Then let’s go quickly.”
Fang Ping sighed. He was going to mine again.
Along the way, they met a few people. They were all from William’s Elf City’s guards, wearing handsome destruction suits.
Coincidentally, there was another person Fang Ping knew, Tie Tou.
His voice was rather loud, and his voice could be heard from afar. “Fang Ping, you guys are going to the Lava World too!”
Everyone on the street looked over, making Fang Ping feel rather awkward.
They nodded at each other. They were all working students and knew each other.
“I heard that someone in our Fang Ping’s team used ten Flame Rocks at once. It’s really abnormal. It’s probably another in-service training student who uses natural treasures to assist in his cultivation. It’s still too difficult for us working students to catch up to them.”
“That’s right. It’s difficult for me to even use one piece. I have to drink healing potions for two pieces. That’s a thousand coppers. Ten pieces. I reckon I’ll die on the spot.”
“The pain of the fire poison can’t be eliminated. Even if they can treat their injuries, they still have to endure the pain. Can you endure the pain of ten Flame Rocks?”
As he listened to them chatting as they walked, Fang Ping looked at Qing Niao. He looked a little embarrassed.
After entering the Lava World, the group separated. “It’s inconvenient to move around with so many people. Let’s meet again when we have time.”
“Okay.”
Qing Niao cast a Forbidden Life Spell on himself to deepen his understanding.
He had yet to upgrade his skill to Excellent. Even if his energy reached 1,000, it would not reach Class 2.
Then, there was the boring mining career.
Andre, on the other hand, was in high spirits. He didn’t know if it was because the thought of Kaxiu had provoked him, but his acceptance of the Flame Rock had suddenly increased by a lot.
Fang Ping felt a little helpless when he saw Andre using the Flame Rocks in high spirits and with a pained expression on his face. ‘Then I’ll use one too.’
…
“Princess, many high-level Gnomes have gathered on the main road of the fortress. They have no intention of leaving. I don’t know if they’re targeting us and don’t want us to leave.”
“Go tell Su Dongxiong that we need to return to the Elven Forest immediately. Rachel is a radical. If she controls the Elven Council, the alliance between us Elves and Humans will be completely broken.”
“But, Eldest Princess, the main road of the fortress is blocked right now. There are more than five Epic-ranked experts and more than a hundred Excellent-ranked experts. There’s also a Troll Berserk Legion and two Goblin Web-weaving teams…”
“We won’t take the main road of the fortress. We’ll take a detour and take the Snowy Mountain.”
At night, when they returned to their residence, there was a person standing at the door, waiting for Fang Ping and the others.
“Are the three of you from Fang Ping’s team?”
Fang Ping nodded. “Yes.”
“Teacher Elsa asked me to inform the three of you to prepare the items needed for the long journey tomorrow. We’ll gather at the main entrance of Flame Tower at six in the morning the day after tomorrow and leave Fire Dragon City.”
With that, he bowed and left.
“Leave Fire Dragon City the day after tomorrow? What do you think?”
Glancing at Andre, he looked like he had been squeezed dry. His eyelids drooped. “I just want to go back and rest now. I don’t want to think.”
Qing Niao was not in a good state either. “Rest first. We’ll talk after the fire poison dissipates a little.”
“Then you guys go ahead. I’ll go buy some food for you. Since you’re leaving, eat more delicacies from the Fire Dragon Frontier. From now on, you’ll have to eat yellow melon pancakes every day.”
“Okay…”
Andre had used three Flame Rocks today. The fire poison brought about a weak effect, which was very obvious on him.
It could only be said that Qing Niao’s recovery ability was really good.
Walking on the streets of the Fire Dragon Frontier Fortress, the Fire Dragon Frontier Fortress was a normal city. It was still very easy to buy some food.
“Tie up these three pancakes for me. I also want these vermicelli pig trotters. There’s no need to cut it. I want the whole thing. Here are eight copper horns for you to make change.”
“Alright! Wait a moment!”
Fang Ping bought a whole roasted pig leg. Although the pink-faced pig was a Magical Beast, its temperament was relatively mild. Moreover, its characteristics were blunt and it had no skills. It was one of the few Magical Beasts that could be reared for consumption.
Just as Fang Ping was drooling over the fragrant roast pork trotters, someone spoke beside him.
“I finally found you!”
He turned around and saw the boy he had seen two days ago, Xiang Yu.
“Are you leaving Fire Dragon City? I want to go with you.”
Xiang Yu looked young and tender. He was half a head taller than Fang Ping, and his eyes shone brightly.
“Why are you looking for me? I’m just a small fry. Go find Chen Long.”
“I just happened to meet… No, I believe you can do it.”
Fang Ping glanced at the pig’s leg. It was already tied with a rope. Fang Ping took it and prepared to leave.
“Don’t go. You just want to go with you. I don’t want to stay at the Fire Dragon Border Fortress!”
Fang Ping walked forward without looking back. “Then go on, go on. Don’t you have legs?”
“It’s snowing outside. If I get lost outside, I might freeze to death.”
“Then let’s wait until Spring. We’ll leave when the weather is hot.”
“You!”
He stopped and did not follow.
Fang Ping could not be bothered to say anything to a young punk. ‘You want to see the world? Why don’t you just close your eyes?’
...
He opened the door and shouted into the room, “Wake up, time for dinner. I bought a roasted pig’s leg. Come and try it.”
The house was silent.
Fang Ping closed the door. Were these people sleeping so soundly?
He sniffed. Other than the fragrant smell of roasted pork trotters, there seemed to be a faint, sweet smell in the air.
The situation didn’t seem right.
Fang Ping had a bad feeling about this. He quickly ran into the room. In the dim room, dark red blood splattered everywhere. Andre and Qing Niao were lying on the ground, covered in wounds.
He quickly threw the thing aside and looked at Qing Niao, who was nearest to him. His body was glowing with white light, but the wound on his bones was still bleeding slowly.
However, Qing Niao had only fainted. His breathing and heartbeat were still relatively even. He should be in a good state.
Andre, who was beside him, was not so good.
There was a huge hole in his stomach, and his intestines were about to leak out. His breathing was very weak, and Fang Ping did not care about the energy consumption. He first used a Forbidden Life Curse to stabilize his condition.
In this world, as long as one did not die, they still had a fighting chance for survival.
...
However, Fang Ping did not dare to use the Healing Technique rashly. Andre’s hands and feet were twisted in a strange posture. They looked like they were broken. He could not treat them casually at this time.
He still had to send him to the treatment center quickly.
Fang Ping could not carry the two tall men either. He quickly ran out of the door and looked around. Night had just fallen and there were already soldiers patrolling the streets. It was just that there were fewer people than usual.
Fang Ping called them over from afar.
“Someone is openly committing murder at the Fire Dragon Frontier Fortress. He’s so arrogant. We’ll definitely investigate this thoroughly!”
The leader waved his hand, and four or five people carried Qing Niao and Andre out of the room and towards the treatment center.
After two days, they had returned.
The leader was called Bunil. With a wave of his hand, the other soldiers put down their men and walked out.
“This kind of thing is really too evil. Moreover, it’s during this special season. Don’t worry, we’ll find the criminal.
Come, follow me to the scene.”
