Chapter 5: The Runaway Gem

As soon as the morning dawned, Zhang Ning went to say goodbye to Erzhuzi's family. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Erzhuzi, auntie, I'm going to look for immortals, thank you for taking care of you in the past few years. ”

Two pillars: "......"

Erzhuzi Niang: "......" turned to Erzhuzi and asked in a low voice: "It can't be crazy again, right?"

Sanzhu, who was making a fire with a black face, and Liuni, who was helping next to him, also looked over.

Erzhuzi stretched out two fingers uneasily: "Dog baby, look, what is this?"

Zhang Ning let out a long sigh and discussed with Erzhu Ziniang: "Auntie, look, I'm leaving, do you want to send me some plates?"

Erzhu Ziniang stammered: "You, what do you want?"

Zhang Ning said: "I haven't been far away, what do you see?"

Erzhuzi Niang transferred the configuration prepared for Erzhuzi to Zhang Ning: a pair of clothes with the fewest patches and a pair of straw sandals. Finally, he handed him half of the cake he had saved last night and hesitantly handed it to him.

Zhang Ning took the clothes and rejected the vegetable cakes, Liuni suddenly jumped up and shouted: "That's my family's thing......" Before he finished speaking, he was pulled back by Sanzhuzi covering his mouth, and reprimanded in a low voice: "He will bite when he is sick!

The corners of Zhang Ning's mouth twitched, and after thanking him, he turned to leave, leaving Erzhuzi's family there to discuss their mental state in a whisper.

He spent the morning packing up all his belongings, most of them the tools of labor that had been given to him by the second pillar before—flint velvet, water bladders, fishing nets, a stone knife, and a small stone axe. In the baggage, he brought the clothes just given by Erzhuzi Niang, carefully put away the soap, glass marbles and snail shells, and finally transferred his shack to the yellow earth dog of Uncle Wang's family, who had coveted his "mansion" for a long time, and resolutely set off towards the east.

After cautiously sending a few miles, Erzhu returned to the village in a strategic retreat, not knowing whether they would be glad to be free from mental illness or regret that there was one less helper in their family.

Zhang Ning scratched his head, looked at the back of Erzhuzi and shrugged, and continued to walk east.

If it weren't for the confirmation that this is indeed the world of cultivating immortals, Zhang Ning would not have said anything and would not have gone down the road alone, before the soft grinding and hard bubbles had to be accompanied by two pillars before going down the mountain, just worried, in case this is not the cultivation realm, if he encounters a coyote, he has to explain here, even if he doesn't die, it's very bad to get a disability, he is a flesh body crossing, but he cherishes this body very much. And the cultivation world means more adventures and magical spells, and compared to the risks and benefits, it is still worth the risk!

Zhang Ning hopes to have adventures like other protagonists on this journey, such as the inheritance of exercises, natural treasures, anti-heaven spirit beasts, and so on. With such a good wish, after a day, Zhang Ning didn't feel particularly tired.

It was getting dark, he was lucky to find a sheltered cave, and he didn't know what kind of animal's nest it was, Zhang Ning carefully investigated, and found no fresh traces, it should have been abandoned for a long time.

Zhang Ning lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, cooked the fish he caught while passing by the stream, and ate the water that was poured into the water bladder. After eating and drinking, Zhang Ning and his body lay by the fire, unable to sleep for a long time. Because according to the current plot development, there should be an important plot right away.

You must know that the cave in the middle of the night is the hardest hit area of adventure - it is very likely to encounter injured beauties or strange people, and finally develop into an affair or magical exercise inheritance; you may also encounter spirit beasts and beasts that come out to forage for food, and in the end they are all subdued by the protagonist without exception to increase their combat power; the more dangerous ones may encounter demonic people, and even so, it will eventually become a major opportunity for the protagonist.

Zhang Ning was so excited that he couldn't sleep, staring at the starry sky outside the cave and thinking wildly, recalling the plot of the online articles he had read before, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

When the sky slowly brightened, he fell asleep, and in the chaotic dream, he suddenly felt an itch in his chest, accompanied by the sound of Si Xi Suo.

Zhang Ning woke up suddenly, recalled the environment he was in, and watched his chest squirm one by one, and his hairs suddenly stood on end.

Zhang Ning quickly took out the things in his arms and threw them on the ground next to the fire—his eyes focused for a moment—soap, glass marbles, and gemstone snail shells. He stared at the three things on the ground for a long time, the soap and the glass marbles were the same, and the jeweled snail shell slowly began to move.

Zhang Ning cautiously approached to take a closer look, and the fleshy abdominal feet stretched out from under the snail shell, slowly moving little by little.

Zhang Ning had the courage to pick up the snail shell, and saw that there were already tenants living inside.

He watched carefully—because the incident had happened so suddenly, and the strange snail was so fast, he didn't know if it was the naked snail that had run away before.

Zhang Ning weaved a small cage out of grass and put the snail in it to prevent it from escaping again. It was already dawn, he calmed down, extinguished the fire, packed up his things and continued on his way.

Aside from the snail's return, the second day was lackluster.

When it was dark, Zhang Ning didn't find a suitable cave, so he had to spread a haystack under a tree and build a fire next to it. The two fish he caught had already been eaten, and his dinner was wild vegetables and fruits, as well as some grass seeds and bugs.

After eating, Zhang Ning checked the gem snail, and the edges of the blades of grass thrown into the cage were intact, and there were no traces of eating. Zhang Ning muttered in his heart, he didn't know how to feed it, the live should be able to sell it for a higher price!

Something suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart, and he opened the cage and poured the snail into his palm...... Sure enough, at some point, it became an empty snail shell again.

He fell asleep with a belly full of question marks, and had not slept well the day before, and slept until dawn. The fire had long been extinguished, Zhang Ning checked the gem snail, and sure enough, the tenant returned.

The gem snail was a meter away from where Zhang Ning was sleeping, squirming silently, and was about to burrow into the grass. He hurriedly retrieved the gem snail, and his heart palpitated.

Zhang Ning is sure that there is no loophole in the grass cage, so this naked snail is very problematic, I am afraid it is a legendary spirit beast!

Since it was so magical, it definitely couldn't be sold, so Zhang Ning braided a straw rope, tied the snail shell, and hung it around his neck. As long as you buckle the snail shell, you are not afraid that it will not come back, and you don't have to worry about feeding it when you see it slipping away so easily, you must have solved it by itself.

It took him half a day to get out of the jungle and find a path, which should be the town mentioned by Erzhuzi.

He walked along the road for half an hour, and finally saw the crowds, inquired with passers-by, and learned that this town was called Lihe Town, which was the largest town within a radius of dozens of miles.

Zhang Ning was very excited, and he was finally able to eat the long-dreamed roast chicken and goose stewed beef!

But there's no money!
