Chapter 562: The smell of coal ash

In the cold winter, the sun seemed to be unable to withstand the bitter cold wind, wrapped in thick clouds, leaving only a faint figure in the sky.

The sky above the Silent River is filled with diamond dust, shining in the sun, dazzling, like a narrow galaxy, spanning the two sides of the gurgling river.

On the edge of Bouji Island, there is a piece of wasteland with sparse plants and trees.

The earth suddenly vibrated like boiling water. In a short time, the originally cold and hard soil rolled like quicksand, sinking from the surroundings to the center, revealing a huge hole several meters in diameter.

Ao Wow!

It was like a howling wild beasts, or like a strange sound of a strong wind blowing through the culvert, echoing in the huge hole. However, these terrifying sounds did not scare the magical creatures in the tree holes around the wasteland.

The two-tailed squirrel lazily poked out half of his body, holding half-bitten acorns in his arms; the tree sperm hiding in the humus layer pulled two handfuls of weeds in disgust, blocking his ears tighter; as for the timid birds on the branches, not only did not chirp in panic, but instead gathered together in groups of three or five, stretched their necks to look at the huge hole, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

call!

A huge figure suddenly jumped out of the hole, and a hint of redness appeared between the half-open eyes, like a demon returning from hell.

However, this demon did not go crazy at the birds, but opened his mouth quickly, and his sharp teeth swirled around, revealing his similar black and black throat to the sand pit.

Then it sneezes heavily.

Ah snee!

Five ashes were like beans jumping in the wok, being sprayed out of the giant beast's mouth by the sneeze, and flew around the sand pit in a scream.

The giant beast did not pause at all. It closed its big mouth, lowered its head, bent its back, arched its waist, turned 180 degrees, and plunged into the ground. The rolling waves of soil rippled with ripples of varying weight, like a stone smashing into the water, and disappeared in a moment.

The quicksand rose and turned into cold and hard soil again, blocking the huge hole.

The weeds and stones that had been buried underground were like time flowing back, returning to their positions one by one with the surging sand and soil, without any mistakes.

The birds on the trees were chirping, whispering to each other, guessing how long the red-eyed earth dragon had been working today.

Zheng Qing couldn't understand the birds' singing.

Otherwise, he would have been annoyed that the five hunters of the Yujue Hunting Team were not as rich in magic knowledge as a group of birds.

Of course, even if he could hear the content of the birds on the branches now, he would definitely not have much attention to it, because he was sneezed by the red-eyed earth dragon and flew out seven or eight meters away, almost hanging on an old locust tree.

The rest of the hunting team were similar - except for Dylan's blood talent, high agility, and his robes were cleaner - everyone else was covered in dust, looking like he had just crawled out of the sand pit.

"Everyone!"

Before he could stand firm, the captain of Yusin Hunting Team yelled: "Report their own situation... The doctor confirms our location! The gentleman checks the surrounding environment! The swordsman pays attention to... other situations!"

"Safety!"

"Safety!"

The four sounds of safety were almost indistinguishable from each other, and soon, several young hunters from the Yusin Hunting Team gathered together again.

"Never sit on it again next time!" The fat wizard complained loudly: "Who invented the red-eyed earth dragon? It feels like a lifespan will be reduced by half after taking it!"

"Gold."

Xiao Xiao answered the fat man's question very philosophically: "Compared with the normal operating earth dragon express, the red-eyed earth dragon has a higher turnover rate, cheaper freight, and faster running speed. It was chosen by the wizards with real money and silver."

"Hell capitalism," Zheng Qing spitted out the sand in his mouth, looking unlucky: "Even if I become a wizard and know magic, I can't get rid of it..."

"Did you smell any strange smell?" Dylan interrupted his companions' complaints and looked around vigilantly, hanging among the branches of a tree that stretched out from the soul-returning poplar.

"Strange smell?" Zheng Qing frowned and sniffed.

Immediately, a distant and familiar breath rushed into his nose, making his expression a little dazed.

"Fire iguana?"

Fatty Xin frowned and looked around: "I seem to smell the burnt smell of fire iguanas... In such cold weather, why are they here for?"

"It's not a fire iguana." Zheng Qing came to his senses and shook his head: "Fire iguana likes flint, but does not like fire charcoal. Those who like fire charcoal are the fight against disasters."

"Can you tell the difference between charcoal and flint?" Fatty Xin looked at the young public-funded student with a surprised look. This is not like his usual behavior.

"There is a slight smell of coal ash when the charcoal burns, and the smell of sulfur when the charcoal burns." Zheng Qing waved and sniffed the faint smell of sulfur in the air, adding: "Believe me, I can tell the difference between coal ash and sulfur... I grew up in Pingyang, and when I was a child, I sucked in more coal ash than fresh air."

Yes, he just smelled the familiar smell of coal ash in the air, and suddenly thought that tomorrow is the Little New Year of the twelfth lunar month, and it is New Year's Eve, but he is thousands of miles away.

But immediately, the young wizard got rid of this quiet homesickness.

"Since it's hot charcoal, we can be sure that this is a group of disasters." Xiao Xiao turned the crystal ball in his arms and spoke quickly: "Gentleman, you and the swordsman go and investigate..."

"No need to be so troublesome."

A voice suddenly interrupted the arrangement of the fortune teller of the Yusin Hunting Team, and explained in a brisk tone: "These tragedies are temporary migrations because their nests are near the newly discovered illegal laboratory... to be safe, avoid riots."

The Yujue Hunting Team launched the defensive battle formation as soon as the strange voice sounded, the magic book floated, the talisman gun was loaded, the sword was unsheathed, and several powerful spells were sucked over the battle formation, like a five-headed snake entrenched waiting for an opportunity to attack.

"Wow, wow, my own people, my own people."

A figure in a black robe jumped out of the tree, raised his hands a long distance away, and apologized loudly: "I am the liaison officer of Sancha Sword and First University, responsible for guiding Yusu Hunting Team to the newly discovered illegal laboratory. You can call me the code name 'Bunzi'... This is my badge... and the citation document."

Zheng Qing looked at the thin and tall strange wizard suspiciously, wondering why he called Baozi.

And he was a little uncertain about the authenticity of the badge.
