Chapter 639: Chapter 308: Has Anyone of You Eaten Roast Swallow? "Just to deliver a small grey cloth bag, not everyone needs to go."
"I can stay on behalf of the Caron Hunting Team."
Elena suddenly broke the silence that had fallen over the gathering.
She held her arm, her chin slightly raised, revealing her slender and fair neck, so dazzling that Zheng Qing didnât dare lift his eyes to look at her.
The Gypsy witch didnât notice Zheng Qingâs embarrassment, paused for a moment, then continued, ".....and furthermore, you should need a qualified diviner, at least to ensure that you wonât walk into anyone elseâs trap a second time."
This painful point immediately jolted Zheng Qing into sobriety.
"That sounds reasonable," Zheng Qing nodded reluctantly, hesitating, "but...."
"But, I should be the diviner of the Caron Hunting Team. Therefore, if someone is to stay, it should be me," another voice suddenly spoke up, interrupting the conversation between Zheng Qing and Elena.
The male wizard turned his head in surprise.
The speaker was Nanjian, the diviner from Ru Nan Nan Shi - she and Zheng Qing had no intersection, they hardly even talked. This was one of the reasons why Zheng Qing found her interruption strange.
Clearly, he was not the only one who felt that way.
"You must be joking!" Nankai pushed Adam out of the way, stood between Zheng Qing and Nanjian, widened his eyes, looked at the stunned cost student, and exclaimed, "Stay?! Wander around with that deadly tiger? Have you grown weary of living? We either leave together or no one stays alone to play hero!"
Saying this, he turned his head again and gently persuaded Nanjian, "Everyone knows that the people of Jiuyou Academy are a bunch of bookworms, we people of Alpha, we shouldnât be foolish like them..."
"Ahem!" Matthew, with a stern face, coughed hard a couple of times.
Nankai was taken aback for a moment, only then did he realize that apart from Zheng Qing, there were two other âbookwormsâ from Jiuyou Academy present.
"Thatâs not what I meant." Nankai scratched his head nervously, muttered under his breath, and then changed the subject, saying to Nanjian, "Donât worry about Zheng Qingâs crap... I think you should pay more attention to Xiao Bai Diaoâer, itâs about to crawl into the tigerâs mouth!"
As he spoke, he pointed at a spot not far behind him.
Ten meters away, Nanjianâs Xiao Bai Diaoâer was biting on a whisker of the black tiger, lifting its tail, trying hard to pull it out. The black tiger seemed to feel nothing, still lazily playing with the monkey head under its claws, but the antics of the white marten scared the young wizards nearby pale with fright.
"Now I know why you said this tiger is peculiar." Elena bit her lip, leaned into Zheng Qingâs ear, and whispered, "If I were the tiger demon and I was disturbed by an ant, I would have slapped it away by now."
A rich fragrance drifted over with the witchâs breath, enveloping the young cost student, making him feel as if he was suffocating.
He felt as if there was a Luban No.7 in his mind, holding a machine gun, shooting madly, sparking golden sparks, and at the same time bombing the place into scorched earth with hand grenades, making him dizzy.
Maybe Merlin heard the rumbling explosions in his mind.
Maybe that magical Luban No.7 threw a hand grenade through dimensions.
--In any case, the Magical World was never short of âsuper reality sensingâ phenomena.
Not far from the young hunters, a small hillock seemed to have been struck by a hand grenade, and suddenly shook violently. The steep cliff on the top of the hill made a âcrackâ sound as it fractured.
Before the young wizards could react, the debris on the cliff fell like dust, a heavy sound wave rose into the air, rolling up a cloud of dust.
"Alert!!"
Matthew Karen roared.
The hunters of the Caron Hunting Team quickly formed into a Triangular Battle Array, with Zheng Qing, Nanjian, and Elena in the center.
"Actually, I could stand on the outside," Zheng Qing blushed, trying his best to sound casual.
As a male wizard, he was ashamed to hide in the center of the defensive formation like the two witches.
Especially since one of the witches was Elena.
"Is it the Wild Demon? Has the Wild Demon attacked us?" Nankai clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.
"The warning line hasnât issued an alert... I feel like itâs just a landslide." Adam quickly analyzed, showing puzzlement on his face: "This feeling, could it be an earthquake?"
Matthew didnât speak, but stared intently at the billowing dust.
When the breeze blew, the dust was swept away, and what appeared before the young hunters was a giant, amber object. It seemed to be embedded like a gemstone in the cliff below.
This scene stunned everyone.
Nankai was the first to react.
"Treasure!" He jumped up with superhuman agility, broke away from the battle formation, ran to the âgemstoneâ and yelled excitedly, "The rule of hunting, first come first served, whoever gets it, gets it, right?"
"Could this be the âGreat Treasureâ the puppet man spoke of?"
"No wonder it boasted about us using it until we are wizards... such a big gemstone, even the wizardâs treasury might not have many!"
The rest of the Caron Hunting Team looked at each other in dismay, rendered speechless.
Even Matthew did nothing more than frown, not rebuking Nankai for his mistake of leaving the formation.
Nankai touched the huge yellow gemstone, turned his head back to the team with a grin, and waved at them, "Hey, you guys come and look... the shadow is so clear on it; this gemstone is of extraordinarily high grade!"
"And its touch..." the male wizard began, unable to resist turning back and muttering in a trance, "It feels warm and smooth like jade, the texture is delicate, itâs absolutely..."
Before he could finish speaking, his face changed dramatically. He quickly pulled back his hand and rolled back towards the group.
A white shadow flickered rapidly across the huge yellow gemstone, making a distinct âsnapâ sound.
Afterward, a pitch-black pupil floated up from the pedestal of the âYellow Gemstoneâ. It shook slightly inside the âYellow Gemstone,â staring blankly at the young wizards.
"The white shadow is an eyelid?" Zheng Qing abruptly realized.
However, he, or rather all the young wizards present, realized it far too late.
With the pupil returning to its place, a violent aura slowly rose from beneath the ground, causing everyone to tremble. Subsequently, a thunderous sound from beneath the ground suddenly surged, like the moment of a rocket launch. Fragments of rocks shattered everywhere, clouds of dust soared to the skies.
"Perhaps, you donât need to discuss who will stay and who will go anymore." Zheng Qing turned back to look at Elena, forcing out a strained smile.
The Gypsy witch turned pale, seemingly having lost the ability to speak.
After a long while.
The dust cleared.
A huge, threatening monster appeared before the collapsed crowd.
"Dragon!"
Matthew trembled, muttering a terrifying name.
The others were pale, it was unclear whether they heard his low trembling voice.
"Holy crap!"
Zheng Qing stretched out his hand to grab a bunch of grass beside his leg, staring blankly at the massive monster in front of him, muttering, "Has anyone eaten roast swallows?"
No one responded to his monologue.
Everyone was petrified by the surging dragon force around them.
