The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 234 Corrupt Family
"Is it okay to die?"

Hearing Letina's words, Wuming raised his head slightly:

"I've been chatting for a while, but people are gone? There's also a falling star beast following you."

"Millison and I... went to the east to find the route into the city. There was a pool of poison in the middle. The cow was unwilling to pass, so Millison had to walk. We encountered some monsters on the road. Millison stepped forward to fight , As a result..." Letina's tears kept flowing out, "It was so sudden, almost instantly, Millicent was killed by a strange force."

Wuming nodded: "As expected of Yatan, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

"Why didn't you react at all?" Le Tina raised her head suddenly, looking at Wuming with some incomprehensible eyes, but soon her eyes burst into light, and she rushed towards Wuming.Letina's legs and feet were not flexible, she lost her balance and fell from the big wolf.

Le Tina didn't care about this, she held Nameless's hand:

"Millison told me about the teachings of the sun before, saying that her teacher—said that your teachings contained miracles. Can you save Millicent?"

"Small problem." Wuming carried Letina back to the big wolf, "Problems that can be solved with runes are not called problems."

Wuming laughed and let Letina lead the way:

"After we rescue her, let's see if she still looks down on Rune's power. Lead the way, and I'll see what kind of blind monster dares to bully my apprentice—"

On the east side of Sunshade City, Wuming and Letina watched from a distance.

Millicent's body was still clearly visible, pierced by a wooden stake from the ground, her limbs hanging limply, lifeless.

The monsters that made her like this are still around her.

It was a frog-like or lizard-like creature with two huge eyes on its head, wandering around Millican, occasionally spewing out some yellow and black mist.

"It's that monster." Letina pointed out the way to Wuming.

Letina looked at Wuming with hope in her eyes, but when she found Wuming, she glanced over her head and covered her face not to look at Millicent.

"Why don't you go and see Millicent?" Letina asked.

Wuming hesitated a bit: "...that was the last look of my poor apprentice, it was too miserable, I couldn't bear to see it."

"Didn't you say you could save her?"

"It can be saved." Wuming turned around and held Letina, "Little girl, those frogs, please take care of them. Aren't you an archer? It's time for you to show off."

Letina was stunned, she suddenly understood what Wuming's abnormal behavior meant.

Are you afraid of those frogs?
"Aren't you amazing?!" Letina couldn't understand, "Why...ah?"

Seeing Millicent's sudden death with her own eyes, and seeing Wuming shrink back so much, Letina didn't dare to attack those frog monsters at all.

"No, I can't see that thing." Nameless covered his face, "It's like someone who sees a spider and someone who sees a snake and is afraid of being cursed. It's like the people of gold are afraid of being cursed when they see defilement. I can't stand it, You go. Don't worry, those monsters are not powerful at long-distance attacks."

Letina was skeptical, but thinking that she could save Millicent, she drew her bow and shot.

Indeed, as Wuming said, those monsters that instantly killed Millicent had no power to fight back in front of her magic arrows, and she had already wiped them out before they could react.

"Is it resolved?" Wuming asked.

"solved."

After receiving Letina's affirmative answer, Wuming looked at Millicon with confidence, and nodded in satisfaction when he saw the frogs were even carried away by the arrows.

Wuming looked around the poisonous pond, and found that the falling star beast was still wandering outside the poisonous pond, and had no intention of going up to help from the beginning to the end.

"A beast is a beast, and he just stands by and doesn't want to help at all." Wuming shook his head and sighed, holding his hands on his chest.

"Didn't you help the same?"

"I'm not like it."

"What's the difference?"

"I didn't watch." Wuming covered his eyes, "Of course I didn't stand by and watch."

Letina looked away, unable to bear to look directly at Wuming.

She saw the dead frogs again.

"What kind of monster is that?" Letina asked.

"I can't tell." Nameless said, "In my hometown, there are monsters that look similar. We usually call them Cursed Frogs."

"Are they great?"

"People in the borderlands are afraid of being cursed."

"I know, and I have a deep understanding." Letina is the son of Platinum, and of course she knows how taboo people in the borderland are about defilement and curses.

"That thing is a monster that can cause people to suffer curses." Wuming said, "There are so many of them, no wonder Millicent was killed."

"There are no more monsters now, can you go and save Millicent?" Letina said.

"The world is impermanent." Wuming was not in a hurry, "Even such a powerful person, with so much power to protect him, may die. Death probably gives all life the final equality."

"This teaching is too profound, why don't you bring Millison back and let us listen to your humble words and righteousness?" Letina was weak.

Wuming sighed: "If you say I am like this, it is also a violation of the laws of the world."

Letina was terrified: "What do you mean? You won't say you can't save it, will you?"

Wuming fell into deep thought: "Think about it carefully, let alone my apprentice, I have experienced the death of so many people, but at that time I was respecting the fate of others - but at that time I was so poor that I didn't have the energy to control the dead - —Sure enough, it’s good to have runes.”

Wuming took a second to untangle the entanglement in his heart, and stepped forward calmly: "Okay, it's time to save my apprentice."

Wuming cut off the black branch that pierced Millison, and waved his hand to disperse the flies around.

Wuming was about to pull out the branch inserted into Millicent's body, when he suddenly saw a bright scarlet color intensifying at the wound, as if it was about to spread and erupt along the wound.

"Hiss... It seems that my thoughts are not important, you really can't die, apprentice." The light radiated from Wuming's hands, covering Millicent's whole body, "At least don't die next to other people's castles, otherwise this poisonous pool will become The swamps of Ionia - Patriarch Mare won't like it."

The wounds on Millicent's body turned back, and the black branches inserted into her body disappeared out of thin air. Millicent returned to a flawless appearance again, without any wounds except for some old injuries caused by corruption on her body.

Millicent woke up and saw Wuming suddenly appear beside her:
"Teacher? Why do you..."

"Go and ask Letina." Wuming stepped aside, and Letina pounced on Millicent on a wolf and burst into tears, explaining while crying.

Millicent belatedly: "So I just... died?"

Wuming laughed and rubbed the still confused Millicent's forehead:
"Now you know about Lu En, right?"

Before Millicent could react, Wuming turned and left:

"The City of Shadows is really dangerous these days. It should be safe here. You guys should stay here for now. I'll go find my way inside."

"Isn't the teacher dangerous?" Millicent said.

"And maybe it's safer to be together." Letina said, "If we were together just now, Mimi might not have died."

"It's all the same." Wuming said, "There are really unexpected dangers, and I can't protect you. It's better to stay here, the safest."

"That's right." Letina nodded, "If there are such frog-like monsters in the city, we will be in danger. Bows and arrows can be used in open areas, but not in the city."

Wuming froze for a moment, and held Letina and Millison's hands:
"Let's go together, as expected, bad luck will come if we separate."

"It's obvious to you," Letina said.

"Don't worry, I have already asked clearly in the city, there is not much danger."

"Ask who?"

"City lord, the city lord here was taken by a sinner and is hiding in the west." Wuming said, "You still know that man, Ailon Mel."

"It's actually Mr. Aaron Meyer?" Letina smiled, "He's in the city?"

"It's probably not there, so the city is probably deserted." Wuming said, "Just to confirm."

"There's no road to the east, and the door is to the west?" asked Millicent.

"It's right here." Wuming said and ran to a high place along the protruding rocks on the ground, grabbed the upper edge of the city wall, climbed on it with both hands, and then retracted his feet upwards, leaning slightly to the left with his heavy armored body, Show effort.

Then disappeared on the other side of the city wall.

"This is not the right way." Letina drove the big wolf to jump into the city wall, and Millicent and the falling star beast followed suit.

"When there are too many people walking, this is the way." Wuming entered the city, first stood on the city wall, looked down from a high position, and found that there were no creatures like cursed frogs, so he was relieved.

But most of the buildings in the city have collapsed, the poison pool has already filled the city, and many ghostly creatures with the same deformity are scattered in the city.Because there are many ruins, there are many blind spots.

"Millison, you take the lead, Letina is in charge of long-range assistance." Wuming commanded.

"What about you?" Letina asked.

"I'm in charge of the treatment." Nameless said.

Letina rolled her eyes.

"I can save you if you die, but it's all over when I die." Wuming pushed the cow's butt with confidence, "The cow also goes together. Isn't the son of the star powerful? Show the strength that Se Lian boasted about."

As expected, the Falling Star Beast showed its strength, lowered its head, and emitted a purple light all over its body. A torrent spewed out from its eyes, sweeping from left to right, all the ruins and enemies along the way evaporated, and blasted all the way to the relatively complete building in the distance. just stopped.

"Okay, a good hand in decoration." Wuming praised the Falling Star Beast, and went straight to the intact building.

The only intact building in the city was the tower structure in the center. Since the collapsed ruins disappeared, several people were thrown to the top of the tower with the help of the falling star beast's gravity magic.

As soon as he went up, Wuming saw exquisite sculptures all over the floor.

"It's so beautiful." Letina exclaimed.

"It really is a defective product..." Wuming murmured.

"Is this still a defective product?" Letina was surprised.

"No, I'm talking about the sculptures on the rocky pile outside the city." Wuming said, "These are all fine sculptures made by the city lord - they are indeed better than the ones outside the city."

Most of the sculptures are soft and beautiful women, and upwards, the sculptures are covered with large pieces of colorful red leaves.

"It's a good look." Letina admired those sculptures, "Mimi, look at this sculpture looks like you."

Millicent never commented on the sculptures.

"Isn't it pretty?" Letina asked.

"The craftsmanship of these sculptures is superb." Millicent said, "It's just an inexplicable feeling of discomfort, this red..."

"Don't you like red? Your hair is red."

"I don't quite understand either..."

It didn't take long for Millicent to understand what the red meant.She and Letina took the lead, and met a knight in golden armor, a cloak trimmed with bright red, and a winged helmet.

"The rotten knight..." Millicent became nervous.

"Is it an enemy?" Letina drew her bow, "Is it powerful?"

"Invincible." Millicent enchanted the scimitar in her hand, "Besides, their bodies are corrupt, so be careful to be infected."

"Who are you?" The rotten knight lowered the spear in his hand, and looked at Millicent and the others with the same vigilance, "Little thieves who broke into the city? Leave quickly, there are no valuable treasures here."

"What are you doing here without baby?" said Millicent. "Make it up a little bit."

"I was just ordered to defend the city." The rotting knight said, "We have our own mission."

Wuming came forward at this time: "We came here in the name of the city lord, we are not enemies."

"The lord? Which lord?" said the rotting knight, "Maremare, or Aron Mel?"

"Both are fine." Wuming said, "I have a cooperative relationship with both of them, the same."

"Who are you lying to? These two are mortal enemies." Hearing this answer, the Venerable Rotten Knight didn't believe it at all. Seeing Wuming became more and more suspicious, the scythe in his hand was about to move.

"Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask them." Wuming said, "Although I guess you can't find any of them."

The rotten knight looked at Wuming vigilantly, unable to verify the authenticity of Wuming's words, and he didn't struggle.

"It's a pity that we don't obey the Lord of the Sunshade City." The corrupt knight chose a panacea attitude, "We are only stationed here, not the vassals of the Sunshade City."

Millicent whispered to Wuming:
"They should only obey the Valkyries."

"Just obey the Valkyrie? Isn't there no way?" Wuming said, "I heard that the Valkyrie...has been beaten back to the sacred tree?"

"Please go back, here is our armament, and it is the garrison where we are preparing to welcome Lady Marenia, it is of no value to you." The rotting knight said, "There is nothing here."

"Don't lie to me, Lord Mare said that there are many treasures of his here." Wuming said, "We have to make sure that those treasures are still there, otherwise we won't be able to go back and do business."

"I'm also not good at dealing with business." The rotten knight put on a posture.

"Then there's nothing to talk about." Wuming smiled and shouted, "Millison, come on! Quick battle."

Millicent left and leaped high, facing the legendary powerful rotting knight, and the request of the teacher who had just saved her life, she did not hold back, and it was her strongest killing move when she came up——

"Waterfowl flurry!"

The one who read Millicent's move was the rotten knight opposite, his voice was full of horror, and the spear in his hand, which was originally ready to attack, also turned from attack to defense, and crossed his spears to block in front of him.

=========
Outside the Sunshade City, Maremare was squatting on the ground, throwing gravel into the poisonous pool, waiting for Wuming to return.

Suddenly the stone flew up uncontrollably, and then fell into the quagmire with a bang, making a dull sound of water.

Maremare frowned, the trajectory of the stone didn't look like it hit the water.

In the quagmire where the stones collapsed, a huge pale, multi-handed insect slowly emerged from the poisonous pool, and then transformed into an old sage in a red robe.

The old sage walked out of the poison pool, came to Maremare, bowed and saluted:
"Long time no see, Lord Mare."
