Reincarnation Band Magician

Dark shadows are often seen swimming in the water, probably some kind of monster.

48 years ago, the last group of adventurers seeking treasure made their final attempt. After a few minutes, only half a person climbed up. He looked back and saw nothing below the waist. He screamed in horror and died.

After that, the demons' offensive became more and more fierce, cutting off transportation. Some stories became rumors and then gradually disappeared. After all, 50 years is almost enough for two generations, and many things were washed away and forgotten.

Until now, the monster has not been defeated.

The natural environment is harsh enough and can be overcome with caution, but the monsters must be dealt with.

"It's Mingyuan Dragon."

An old person in the family is like a treasure, and the old man gave accurate information.

"I haven't seen one in a long time. It grows larger over time and usually only lives in deep water. Sailors say that if you see an isolated island in the ocean, don't approach it, as it might be a monster that can swallow a ship whole..."

"Of course, that's an exaggeration. When a head is that big, it must be at least several kilometers long, and it's within sight. It doesn't matter whether you get close or not. The waves a dragon creates when it moves can capsize an ordinary ship."

Fulilian pulled out the crystal telescope Qing had polished for her and studied the shapes of the shadows and the sheen of the scales.

Dragons' perception is not bad, maybe they just sensed their breath,

Not only are you not afraid, but you even come to provoke me?

If it were on the shore, Qing would have the confidence to fight even the strongest Imperial Prison Dragon, but the home advantage in the water is too great, and humans who need oxygen have a natural disadvantage.

The vision and power are both very poor.

Qing could only overcome part of it with perseverance and momentum.

Xiangzi made a reasonable guess: "It must have escaped from that ruins."

The ruins in the desert hold the technology to put monsters to sleep, and regular replenishment of magic power can keep them alive and reproduce.

As a relatively strong monster, it is understandable that the dragon lives longer.

Miss Xiangzi, who didn't like deep water, raised her umbrella without thinking.

"Use magic to evaporate this place."

"Xiang," Qing squeezed her hand, conveying warmth to calm her down, "I just said, there's a water hole down there, it's very difficult to fill and drain."

Mahat stepped out and asked, "Do you need me to solve it?"

The demons do not need oxygen and have partial night vision. After entering the water, Mahat can also use golden magic. When necessary, he can solidify everything around him and sink it to the bottom of the lake. In a short time, no one will know that Mahat has been to the Golden City.

Qing was still prepared to go on his own as usual, but because he was not absolutely sure and out of caution for his life, he decided to go with Mahat.

Xiangzi and Fulilian both hated such places, so as usual they glimpsed from a distance.

If the dragon greeted them again in an impolite manner as before, the two magicians who were well prepared this time would make it leave something behind.

……

After preparing myself to face the challenge of this sinister creature, I felt a sense of… unexpected loss.

Qing surrounded himself with crystals, creating a long, narrow, spindle-shaped container, and then prepared himself to be attacked at any time, with magic power ready to fill the crystals at any time.

Before it landed, it was swallowed by the leaping blue-black dragon.

Perhaps, Mingyuan Dragon has been the king of this area for a long time, and can eat whatever he wants and how he wants.

There is no tentative attack, no waiting, the entrance is as soon as you enter the water.

Qing pondered for half a minute in the dragon's belly, then released his crystallization and greeted the people around him.

Hello there.

In a way, it was suicide.

Although it is very crude, after careful consideration, I decided to give it a colorful place.

After all, many talented adventurers have been defeated here before.

One problem is that he died too quickly and I couldn't see his appearance clearly. I needed Fulilian's help to describe it before I could record it.

After that, everything went smoothly in the maze. Also due to the power of nature, the outer wall was damaged in the earthquake and the dragon escaped.

The cracks may have existed a long time ago. The gold, silver and gems that were thought to be washed down from upstream were actually from the ruins. However, they were used by the Mingyuan Dragon to sharpen its scales over the years and lost their artificial shape.

Maybe, before the dragon came out, everything was completely submerged in water.

Through the broken walls and some remaining magic runes in the dark water, it was confirmed that when it was intact, it was able to isolate the flowing water.

There was nothing left, the treasures and magic books inside had sunk into the dark depths.

Perhaps, if they sink into that water eye, they will rush out from other rivers and lakes. Those who are lucky enough to encounter them will think that they are sent by the fairy of the lake?

The only thing they got in the end was the material left after Mingyuanlong's death - a fist-sized, glowing green gem. Fulilian thought it might have been stuffed in during his lifetime to serve as a backup.

All in all, no matter what, this underwater maze, which is extremely oppressive, ended unexpectedly poorly.

If you think about it carefully, it has actually been conquered and hit by an earthquake a long time ago.

After returning to the ground, I held the green gem in my hand, and my whole body felt cool and moist. Even the burning sensation from the sun disappeared. It was as if I was isolated and comfortable. It was like an air conditioner, humidifier, and sunscreen all rolled into one...

Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem so great.

Heading north from this abyss and going upstream, you can finally enjoy the rushing river of the northern plateau. Although it is not as spectacular as the Thor Valley, there is also a waterfall in the upper reaches with a drop of hundreds of meters and a sound like thunder in the valley.

The exploding water vapor enveloped the surroundings, and from a distance, it looked like a white mountain.

A little closer, there is an ordinary, transparent small pond with big fish, shrimps and crabs swimming around in it.

It successfully washed away the two ladies' shadows about water.

"This is what I want..."

The two ladies sat on the smooth, warm stones, their white feet chasing fish and shrimp in the clear water.

Qing tried to cut off the water flow by swinging his sword at the distant waterfall, but was swept into the waterfall again and again.

Mahat stood not far away and watched the scene.

Farther away, a large demon with a black hood was staring at this place.

Further away, a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard looked towards the north.

This is the last warm place before entering the bleak and cold land.

North, they are back again.

At this point, we are already far away from the border of the empire. Heading east from here, we reach a place where neither the demons nor the empire have defenses.

……

The situation in the south, central and north, and the entire continent, has not yet been transmitted to the eastern desert and the central forest due to the current information blockade.

Even many people who live there are not aware of it.

A brave man, or rather, another brave man, appeared.

He did not give his real name, only the most easily spreadable title: Brave Man, Brave Man of the South.

From the south, all the way across the central region, killing countless monsters and demons, he arrived in the north.

Just when people thought that he would stop and his glory would become as dim as those of the heroes in the past, that did not happen.

He ran faster, as if racing against time and fate.

The cities, fortresses, and passes occupied by the demons... one after another, he broke through, broke through, and broke through. Nothing could stop him.

The hero, with his cloak fluttering and two swords in hand, continued to move forward.

People calculated that if they did this, it would only take a year to defeat the devil in a fair fight.

……

PS: Today is still the guaranteed release date, and there are still 12 chapters to go.

My ear hasn't been cured yet, so I can't hear in one ear and feel dizzy during the day. I'm sorry.

Golden Journey: 204, One of the Reasons to Move Forward

People are telling the legend of the brave man of the south.

Like a fairy tale, the brave man sets out, and then, with unstoppable force, countless good news comes, and the situation becomes more optimistic day by day.

After reaching the northern plateau, his speed slowed only slightly, like a hot fork cutting into butter.

The two swords reopened the road to the north.

People say that he is the strongest hero.

……

In the early spring, the snow on the northern plateau has not yet melted, but it cannot stop the passionate hearts of the brave men.

Commercial trade on the plateau, which had been almost stagnant, began to flourish again.

At this time, the four people with a strange combination did not know the reason and looked at the carriage driving on the road not far away in surprise. Xiangzi took out the map and began to confirm the location.

"Are we going the wrong way?"

"I don't think so," Fulilian knew after taking a look at the width of the road. "It's the Imperial standard. It only appears in the north now, so it must be on the northern plateau. As the saying goes, you can tell about this kind of thing by just looking around."

The carriage they saw was nearly a hundred meters below the road, and there were hundreds of meters above and below it, surrounding the mountain peaks. Looking around, the winding and twisting roads on the undulating mountains in their sight were all like this.

There were patches of snow on the cliff, which slid down from time to time, making crackling sounds.

Even if they mistook south for north for a month, walked out of the Gulanat Territory and returned to the area around the Likel Canyon, the snow there would have melted long ago.

"So all those carriages are just illusions? It turns out there are mirages in the mountains too."

"Although mirages do occur on the plateau, I think those are real."

Qing pulled with his thumb and index finger, creating a crystal lens with a rough magnifying effect, and observed the area below.

Seeing his eyes widen, Xiangzi laughed, but then realized that this was not the right occasion to laugh.

Because a flying monster was swooping over there, the driver's terrified expression was very real, and he could hear the sound of airflow from the flapping wings.

The lenses clattered to the ground, and Qing jumped down with his sword.

……

"Thank you so much! Really, if it weren't for you..."

Sitting in the carriage, the coachman, who was also the owner of the carriage, expressed his gratitude incoherently.

Qing looked around habitually. This was a very common horse-drawn carriage that sold groceries. In simple terms, it was a mobile grocery store.

Transportation in the northern plateau and surrounding areas has been blocked for too long, and it can be said that there is a shortage of everything. With the carrying capacity of a mere horse-drawn carriage, dozens or even hundreds of them are just a drop in the bucket for the demand market.

The benefits of a single trip are enough to make people risk being attacked by monsters.

Just like the caravan that Qing encountered near the Likel Canyon, the caravan leader used the money for increasing the guards to buy goods, and along the way he took a fancy to three places with beautiful mountains and rivers.

On the northern plateau, there was no need to rely on luck, as the probability of being attacked was almost 100% - 99.99% to be more precise. It was indeed rare for a group like this to not even have a carriage for their guards.

in particular--

Qing glanced at the side.

Xiangzi was playing with a little girl. The eldest lady was always friendly to children, as long as they were obedient and well-behaved. Otherwise, her face was as cold as ice. Standing next to Fulilian, her double expressionlessness could make some children cry.

"my daughter."

Let's call him a coachman. His wife has passed away and he has no relatives around, so he takes his daughter with him wherever he goes. This is indeed his first time doing business.

Qing glanced outside and raised his hand. Xiangzi adjusted the angle of his fingers and used killing magic to turn and eliminate the monsters lying in ambush at the corner.

"Don't you know it's dangerous to go out on the northern plateau?"

"It can't be helped. We have to live... And I heard that the Southern Hero has arrived in the northern plateau. The demon tribe's fighting forces have been withdrawn. The road is temporarily safe, but I didn't expect there are still demons..."

“Most people wouldn’t think of it.”

But Qing didn't say much. To some extent, luck is also a part of business. He was lucky to meet them. The little scare was a very cheap tuition fee.

Speaking of the name "Southern Brave", I hear it very often.

The driver sighed in frustration. "Once I sell the things on the cart and settle the debt problem, I will join the Norm Chamber of Commerce."
