Other uses of loot

Chapter 126

The slender teenager was clad in a black overcoat, the corners of which were swept up by the night wind and drummed in the wind.

He tilted his head back to gaze at the skeletal horse in front of him, the firelight reflected in his dark eyes:

"Very good."

Shi An withdrew the flames from her fingertips and ordered lightly, "Get out."

The Skeleton Horse let out a neigh, and in full view of everyone, it actually turned around and walked outward, its heavy hooves stepping on the ground, each step bringing up a tremor in the ground.

The power users in the hall were dumbfounded, and could only watch in awe as the terrifying undead species disappeared into the night.

The teenager turned around.

The lines of his eyebrows and eyes were soft and harmless, still with a bit of undisturbed sleep, the collar of his coat was slightly spread by the wind just now, revealing his fine white neck.

At his feet were blood and broken limbs that had not yet dried.

"......"

A dead silence fell over the messy storefront, and all the power users stared in disbelief at the teenager who had stopped the tide of the undead species' attack by himself.

Who is he?

How did he do it?

No one knew the answer, no one dared to ask, all they could do was watch as the other man took one step inward and then stopped in front of Mu Hang.

"I'm cold."

The teenager yawned and held out his hand to the silver-haired man with a slightly soft nasal tone:

The man reached out and gathered the other man into his arms, wrapping his fingers completely into his long, wide palm:

"Now what?"

Abilities: ".................."

May I ask what crime we have committed to be here in the middle of the night eating dog food?

*

Day two.

Mu Hang and Shi An walk out of the inn.

Shi An: "Wait a minute."

He whistled, and after a brief silence there came the sound of the ground shaking, followed by the clatter of heavy hoofs from far and near.

Skeleton horses galloped in from the distance.

Under the sunlight, the tall undead species appeared even more ghastly than in the night, with a seeping layer of iron blue floating over their white bones, bone spurs protruding from their ribs and leg bones, and blue and purple flames leaping from the depths of their dark, shadowy eye sockets.

"It will lead us to the location of the rift."

Shi An pointed to it, "We can ride it the rest of the way."

"......"

Mu Hang raised his eyes to the massive skeleton horse in front of him and slowly opened his mouth to ask, "...... ride?"

"Yeah."

Shi An stepped forward as a matter of course and raised his hand to pat the skull horse on the head.

The flames in the skeletal horse's eye sockets jumped in rhythm with the beat, and lowered its head, snorting meekly, actually looking eerily well-behaved.

Shi An looks to Mu Hang and tilts her head:

"It's not like we haven't ridden before anyway."

Mu Hang: "?"

"...... Of course, it was still a little smaller in size then than it is now."

Shi An paused for a moment, raising her eyes to survey the skeletal horse in front of her, and added slowly.

"Oh, and there's none of that either."

He raised his hand and gripped the bone spikes on the skeletal horse.

Only heard a "click" sound, the bone spur was actually directly broken down by the teenager's slender fingers.

Although the undead species couldn't feel pain, for some reason, Mu Hang just saw a hint of panic in the flames that leapt madly from the depths of its eyes.

Soon Shi An breaks off all the bone spurs on the skeletal horse that interfere with riding.

"......"

Mu Hang was silent for a long time, but finally rolled over and mounted his horse under Shi An's expectant gaze.

The back of the horse was very spacious, more than enough to seat two people.

Sensing the human's aura, the skeletal horse let out a restless neigh, and the flames within its eyes shifted and wavered between blue and purple, the

Finally, fear of the dragon overcame its appetite, and it stomped in place a few times before slowly accelerating and running towards the interior of Avon Canyon.

The ice and snow in the canyon had melted, and sparse grass roots were faintly visible among the rocks.

But such sights are only found at lower elevations; the white remnants of snow are still visible on the higher ground, while the tops of the mountains on either side are covered with year-round ice that reflects an eerie blue sheen in the sunlight.

This place was already off the beaten path, and now it's even more deserted due to the recent cases of demonic attacks.

As the temperature dropped, Shi An had already shrunk most of her body into Mu Hang's arms.

Mu Hang reached out and wrapped an arm around the other man's waist, allowing the teen to lean most of /// his body weight against his own.

The canyon was filled with a sinister, chilly odor that only arose where the undead species gathered.

The further forward he went, the stronger the aura became.

The undead species caught the scent of a blood meal, and ghostly blue eyes appeared on the rock walls around them, ominous gazes cast from all directions, but none dared to step forward.

As a substitute for transportation, Skeleton Horse has been very experienced.

It ran fast and steady with few bumps, the sky overhead was covered in overcast clouds, and although it was daytime, the canyon was dimly lit, plus the warmth of a human chest's body heat coming from behind.

Everything makes Shi An a little drowsy.

His eyelids closed a little, and he fell between half-asleep sleepiness.

In a daze, an inexplicably familiar feeling awoke from the depths of his body.

It was like a sudden burst of electricity in the darkness, spreading slowly, like a furry feather itchy and restless, and like an invisible flame igniting little by little.

So strange.

Shi An furrowed his brow in his sleep, a thin sweat of stars appearing on his pale forehead as he followed his instincts and burrowed into the man's chest, a thin, soft whimper escaping his throat.

It was at this moment that the skeletal horse suddenly stopped its pace.

The momentum from its actions jolted Shi An awake, and he broke free from Mu Hang's arms and leapt from his horse almost as if he couldn't wait.

Mu Hang: "What's wrong?"

He jumped down after him and stepped forward.

Mu Hang lowered his eyes toward the teenager, his voice low and surprised, "Your face is so red."

He reached out and touched the teenager's hot, delicate cheek:

"Uncomfortable?"

With a start, Shi An jumped back several steps, pulling away from each other.

"No, no."

Mu Hang doesn't catch up, just narrows his eyes thoughtfully.

Shi An blinks, a little panicked in her mind.

...... Can't be? It can't be now, can it?

It was at this moment that the skeletal horse not far away snorted and smashed the ground heavily with its front hooves, breaking the silence in the air, as if reminding the humans in front of them.

Shi An twisted her head in that direction.

Only a dark purple slit stretched across the front of the skeletal horse, from which a light smoke escaped.

As the fire dragon's limbs in the cracks were burned away, the surrounding visions disappeared little by little.

During this process, Mu Hang stood aside and stared fixedly at a cave not far away.

That cave has completely collapsed, but the shape of what it once was is still barely recognizable from the outside.

Soon, the cracks disappeared and the familiar magic flooded into his body.

A ghostly blue flame flickered in the skeletal horse's blackened eye sockets, the little bit of purple having disappeared completely, and it dipped its head in a salute at Shi An before turning away at the other's gesture.

Shi An stumbled.

A sense of foreboding welled up in him.

In that moment, like a drop of cold water splashed into hot oil that was about to boil, and like the last straw falling lightly, it was as if the side effects that had previously been suppressed and ignored had suddenly found a vent.

"I... I'll leave you for a moment."

Shi An's voice was slightly strained.

"Where to?" Mu Hang's voice came from behind.

"It's not your problem to worry about." Shi An said menacingly, but his voice was soft, a slightly hoarse, quivering end that marred the majesty of the words.

He also disregarded the fact that it would tear his back, and simply unfolded his wings, ready to fly into the air.

But the next second, there was an unmissable tug at the tail.

With a start, Shi An jerked her head around to look behind her.

Stuttering a little from nervousness, "You, let go!"

"I think I've been to this place before."

The silver-haired, blue-eyed human stood behind him, the burning palm of his gloves off pressed against his tail, his eyes deep and inscrutable, his voice calm and low:

"...... And it seems we didn't finish things last time."

Didn't finish ...... last time?

Shi An: "!"

His eyes widened slightly as he looked in a certain direction behind him.

Wait a minute - this place seems a little familiar -

Mu Hang stroked the large silver-white tail of the gargoyle with his palm, his fingertips slowly and patiently tracing it.

Until ......

Shi An's pupils plummeted as a doleful whimper rushed through his throat and the entire dragon fell from mid-air.

He was greeted by the hot embrace of humanity.

His palm pressed against the teenager's spine, sliding slowly along the gap that was split by the wings.

Shi An shivered as she was scalded.

He pressed his palm against the other man's shoulder and curled up dizzily.

The man's low voice rang against his ear, "You know what? In some literature, loot taken by dragons has another use."

The other's voice seemed very distant, echoing in Chaos's mind, each word seemed familiar, but when put together it was just hard to understand for some reason.

He raised his eyes in bewilderment, his long eyelashes dark and wet, the golden ruddy vertical pupils of the dragon type emerging through a foggy layer of watery light.

Mu Hang lowered his eyes and nipped the tip of the teen's reddened ear.

A deep chuckle pressed into his raspy voice:

"...... Want to give it a try?"
