Chapter 645 Tea Shop

It seemed that Xiaolong was greatly encouraged after eating and drinking enough.

Even the sprayed dragon breath seems to have become a bit thicker.

Open its properties panel and take a look.

The improvement in qualifications brought about by the burst of devouring just now caused Xiaolong's magic attack to soar by about 300 points!

"Four hundred magic attack points... for players, it is almost equivalent to upgrading a green equipment to an orange epic level equipment." After Chen Ming calculated it, he realized the terrifying potential of Xiaolong more deeply.

"It's really not an illusion. Xiaolong's dragon breath has indeed become stronger!"

"And as long as I can keep finding such treasures, Xiaolong may be able to grow infinitely..."

I couldn't help but look forward to the future.

But soon, Chen Ming shook his head and calmed down.

Don't think too much, just take care of the things in front of you first. Keeping all these magic crystal nuclei in your bag is the top priority!

With the cooperation of Xiaolong, the magic crystal nuclei on the ground were continuously taken out. Chen Ming took a cloth bag without any metal elements and put the huge crystal nuclei into the bag one by one.

When Chen Ming filled seventeen bags, the magic crystal core on the ground was finally almost bottomed out.

It's really, really fast.

The only drawback is that the floor of the entire griffin training room has been destroyed to a disgraceful appearance, which is completely different from those magicians who work slowly and meticulously.

"There are still some left, Su Su, please cooperate with Xiaolong in collecting them."

"I have to go out and take a look."

Su Su immediately nodded in agreement.

Chen Ming turned his head and activated the stealth effect, climbing to the top rooftop of the gryphon training ground, where he quietly waited for his prey to take the bait.

It only took about two or three minutes to wait.

Two more figures suddenly appeared in the sky.

It was the two magicians who had collected enough magic crystal cores and handed them in!

And what Chen Ming was waiting for was the two of them!

He didn't want the perfect assassination he finally accomplished to fail on the two of them!

Draw out the dagger and wait for their arrival.

These two people were completely unaware of the approaching danger. As organized magicians, they could fly freely in Qingfeng City. They fell from the sky talking and laughing, and were about to get into the big hole and return to the ground. The cold dagger It's already coming!

"Plop!"

Two bodies that were still warm fell from the sky.

After a while, Su Su poked her head out from below and said, "Sir, the collection has been completed."

"good."

All safety hazards have been resolved.

At least in the short term, problems here will go unnoticed.

But Chen Ming still had to hurry up.

After all, he didn't know whether the busy magicians in various magic circles in Qingfeng City would communicate with each other at some point, and then discover that all the magicians here had been wiped out, and the magic crystal cores had also been looted.

"Next, we have to go to the location where they handed over the magic crystal core."

"Xiaolong, your target is too obvious. The invisibility effect provided by the Holy Beast Badge alone may not be able to perfectly avoid the opponent's sight. You should go back first."

The little dragon, who had eaten and drank enough, naturally had no objections. He whined and turned into a blue ball of light, dissipated in front of his eyes, and returned to the pet space.

Su Su also obediently transformed into a dragon lady and hovered around Chen Ming.

After doing all this, Chen Ming stood up, got on the oxen and horses, and followed the route used by the magicians to escort the magic crystal core, heading towards the core hub of the magic circle.

Along the way, Chen Ming was paying attention to whether any magicians were returning from this road.

But luckily, it didn't.

"It seems that my previous calculations were correct. According to their collection speed, there will not be two groups that have collected enough crystal cores to hand in at once..."

"After we have just dealt with those two people, there will be no more people at the Griffin training ground in a short time."

Now, Chen Ming was completely relieved.

…

Outside Qingfeng City.

A tea shop has been closed for two days.

Travelers passing by tried to beg for tea, but were blocked by the cryptic boss. Some grumpy travelers couldn't help but cursed, but the boss just waved his hand and sent them away.

At this moment, a tall and strong horse came to the door of his tea shop.

The boss looked up and was shocked to find that the horse had horns on its head. It was obviously not an ordinary thing. It was definitely not an ordinary transportation animal. The man and woman sitting on it also seemed extremely extraordinary.

"Boss, here's a bowl of tea to quench your thirst." Chen Ming said with a harmless smile as he got off the cow and horse.

The boss was stunned for a moment, then pointed toward the city, "Sir, after entering Qingfeng City, turn left and you will find Yunlai Restaurant. It is famous and has everything you need for food, rest, and accommodation. You can go there and have a look."

He felt that the visitor in front of him didn't look like he would stay in his small tea shop.

It was like he couldn't figure out why a group of people came here a few days ago, commandeered the backyard and cellar of his tea shop, rewarded him with a gold coin, and then asked him to continue running the tea shop to cover their eyes.

"It's just a sip of tea." Chen Ming's tone was gentle, with a hint of request, "I'm just passing by here, and I won't enter Qingfeng City. I have to hurry on my way. I'm just very thirsty and have to come here to ask for a drink. for drink."

With that said, Chen Ming took out a gold coin and put it in the shopkeeper's hand.

Seeing a look of struggle flashing in his eyes.

Chen Ming helped him get rid of the last trace of hesitation, "If it's inconvenient for the store, I will wait at the door. My sister and I only need two bowls of tea. You can just call."

Yes, Chen Ming has already seen that this place is the core of the magic circle.

He originally wanted to sneak in and investigate.

But they found that the defense here was completely different from that at the Griffin Training Ground.

There is almost no defense there.

But here, there is a magic barrier. Chen Ming cannot spy any information in it through his eagle vision. Everything is isolated by the magic circle.

However, Chen Ming relied on his eagle vision to discover that the boss was carrying something like a token, which seemed to be closely related to the magic circle.

Chen Ming could not know its specific function just by observing it.

That's why I came here to talk.

Get a shiny gold coin.

In addition, Chen Ming said that he would not go in if he was waiting outside.

These two conditions completely hit the boss. He thought that the group of people just told him not to let anyone in, and they didn't say they couldn't bring out a bowl of tea, right?

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

After accepting the gold coins, the boss immediately turned around and opened the door and entered the shop.

The moment he pushed the door open, Chen Ming's eagle vision keenly captured something that outsiders couldn't see - the moment the boss passed through the magic circle, the token on his waist suddenly lit up, like a pass. Or like a key, he successfully passed through the magic circle and entered it.

"So, that token is equivalent to a key?"

Chen Ming was slightly surprised.

How could he, a tea shop owner, have a key?

But soon, he understood.

During the short time when the boss opened the door and entered, Chen Ming saw several stoves with fires sitting on them and cooking was in progress.

This tea shop is no longer open to the public.

And if the boss cooks for himself, he will definitely not set up so many stoves at the same time.

The answer is obvious...

The magicians who were busy here not only asked the tea shop owner to open his stall to cover them in the wilderness to ensure that their actions were not noticed, but also hired him to provide food and drinks.

In this case, the boss always needs to enter the house to control the fire and pour the food. In addition, he may also have to do other tasks such as delivering meals part-time, so it becomes understandable to have a pass.

"It will be easy if you have a pass. I can sneak it in and get in."

"It's just that there is only one pass..."

"I can go in, but Susu can only stay outside."

"And I go deep alone, into the depths of the enemy where the magic circle has been established. Isn't this a bit risky..."

Involuntarily, Chen Ming frowned and fell into deep thought.

It seems that stealing the token and sneaking into it is not a good choice.

Is there a better, more reliable way...
