46. Northern Base
This is the adult who is specially responsible for transporting materials and live test products to the northern base - Lord Feng.
His mission this morning was to transport Baozi to the northern base, but he heard about Baozi's death a moment ago, so he rushed over in a very unhappy mood.
This person looked strange, and there was a smell of sadness on his face. Xia Gui and him hurriedly glanced at each other, and hurriedly turned their heads away.
When Ah Rong and Ah Biao saw this person, they also consciously stood to the side and bowed respectfully.
Lord Feng didn't seem to see Xia Gui and the three of them, so he walked straight to the corpse of Baozi, raised his leg and kicked it lightly, as if he was kicking a burlap bag. Baozi's corpse was kicked and shook by him, and the corners of Lord Feng's mouth hooked up a look of disgust, "This is the person that Lord Zhongying and the mysterious distinguished guest pointed out to be sent over, and they died like this, what a wreck! Hmph, but did he think he would be freed if he died? Even if he turned into a corpse, he had to send it over!"
It was very dark in this grass hut, and Xia Gui couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but it must be eerie and scary.
Two dark-skinned and skinny slaves came out from behind him, and they ran quickly to the head and feet of the bun. One lifted his legs, the other raised his head, and lifted the slightly chubby bun.
Xia Gui squinted at the two of them, they were the corpse collectors who were responsible for transporting the corpses this time.
"You leave the corpse at the door and turn back, you know?" Lord Feng admonished.
"Yes, sir. The two slaves shrank and nodded.
The bun was thick and heavy-handed, and the two slaves with thin arms and legs were obviously blushing, and finally carried the bun and walked two steps. Unexpectedly, when the bun died, a breath was held in his chest and he did not exhale, and under the shaking of the two slaves, his throat and chest "grunted", and he spit out a large mouthful of waste gas. With this exhaust gas, a trace of poisonous spit flew out, which happened to spray on the face of the slave who was carrying the head and shoulders of the bun.
I heard the slave let out a scream of "ahh Then, a thick wisp of blood flowed from between his fingers.
"Poison, it's in my eyes! I can't see it!" the slave screamed in panic, and the scream made Xia Gui feel creepy.
Lord Feng's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Idiot, you can't lift a corpse! Get out!"
"Yes, yes!" the slave covered his eyes, unable to see, touched the corner of the table several times, and finally crawled and crawled outside.
Suddenly this change occurred, and the faces of everyone in the room changed drastically.
Baozi's poisonous and bulky corpse was even more terrifying, and the remaining slave hesitated, not daring to touch the corpse again, and stood in place at a loss.
Without a person, how to carry this poisonous corpse is very tricky.
Lord Feng frowned, "It's troublesome, unfortunately the other moving slaves have gone today, and I don't know where to find a second person now......"
Lord Feng frowned and fell into deep thought.
The remaining thin slave Xiao Liuzi is a newcomer, so he can't let this newcomer carry the body of the bun to the northern base alone, right?
Just when he was thinking hard about what to do, Xia Gui's voice suddenly sounded low, "My lord, I'll go." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ah Rong and Ah Biao's surprised eyes were focused on Xia Gui's face, they didn't expect Xia Gui to make such a request.
Lord Feng's strange eyes looked at Xia Gui carefully, as if searching for who this slave was in his memory.
"You?" asked Master Feng, "who are you?"
Xia Gui bowed his head and said, "I am the sixty-third slave of the Hundred Beasts Garden. ”
Lord Feng squinted his eyes and looked at Xia Gui carefully, and then sneered, "Oh, it turns out that you are number sixty-three. I've heard that your talent seems to be good. You're the team leader of the Hundred Beasts Garden, what are you doing here?"
Xia Gui lowered his head and said calmly: "My lord, Baozi was my friend when he was alive. He died, and I was sad and wanted to give him one last ride. ”
Lord Feng's strange eyes stared at Xia Gui, he was worried that he couldn't find someone to transport the body, but he didn't expect one to be delivered to the door. Lord Feng stared at Xia Gui for a long time, and then said, "I can agree with you to send it, but I warn you, if you want to send it, send it honestly, put it at the door of the north base and leave." If you're trying to get away with it, or if you're going somewhere you shouldn't, I'm not responsible. ”
Seeing the full sincerity on Xia Gui's face, Ah Rong and Ah Biao chuckled in their hearts and secretly screamed badly.
They vaguely guessed Xia Gui's true thoughts......
He wanted to go to the northern base in the name of transporting corpses to see what these crazy magnates were doing!
This kid must be crazy!
The monsters and magnates in the northern base are all man-eating wolves, and they are not as easy to deal with as the servants in the mountain villa.
Ah Rong and Ah Biao hurriedly glanced at him and shook their heads constantly, hoping that he would dispel this thought, but Xia Gui didn't seem to see it at all.
It was not that he did not see it, but that the decision in his heart was as hard as iron, and no one could shake it.
"My lord, I just want to get my friend's body safely to where it belongs, and I hope it can be buried properly, and I don't have any other thoughts. Xia Gui bowed his head and replied.
Hearing Xia Gui's sincere expression, Master Feng said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, you can go with Xiao Liuzi." ”
When Ah Rong and Ah Biao heard that Lord Feng agreed to this matter, their faces immediately collapsed in frustration, revealing a look of collapse.
Xia Gui is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and even wants to break into the wolf's den! That place is not a fun place, and if you are not careful, you will not return.
Xiao Liuzi, a corpse-carrying slave who was trembling and trembling, glanced at Xia Gui cautiously. Although Xia Gui looks white and delicate, he doesn't look like a strong man, but ...... Two people are better than one.
He gestured at Xia Guibi, signaling him to lift the most dangerous head and shoulders of the bun.
Xia Gui walked up to Baozi without saying a word, and tore half of the corner of his clothes to cover his remains, including his mouth and nose. Then he silently lifted the upper body of the bun and rested it firmly on his arms.
Xiao Liuzi turned his back at this time, carried the two legs of the bun with his backhand, and walked staggering in front.
The two walked out of the narrow wooden door of the grass hut under the worried eyes of Ah Rong and Ah Biao.
......
Of course, the transportation of the corpse was not carried by just two slaves.
After all, the northern base is far away, and if you rely on foot and carry a corpse, it will probably take more than half a day.
Xia Gui and Xiao Liuzi's main job is to use manpower to carry the corpses in places where there are no carriage tools. After the corpse was placed on the corpse truck, it set off towards the barren prairie to the north amid the sound of horses' hooves on the wheels.
The northern base is located behind the clear forest, and does not have to go straight through the forest. The carriage skirted the Qingmao Forest and headed straight for a dark fortress in the rear.
The fort resembles a dark yellow hill, hard and thick. When approaching the fortress, there was an extremely difficult and winding path, which could not be passed by carriages, and could only be carried by Xia Gui and Xiao Liuzi by hand.
Xiao Liuzi is a newcomer, and Xia Gui is the first time, and the two are jolting and staggering.
"Brother, do we want to take a break?" asked Xiao Liuzi.
Xia Gui nodded, "Okay." ”
Xiao Liuzi carefully put the body of the bun on the ground, and went to find a haystack where he could sit down and rest.
I don't know if it's because of the increase in soul power, Xia Gui really felt a powerful resentment permeating this fortress, and the closer he got to it, the stronger this feeling became.
He remembered what his teacher Boudin had said, and there was a resentment in the north. According to the current situation, Boudin really did not exaggerate, this place is very terrifying.
"Ouch!" Xiao Liuzi suddenly screamed, and the whole person seemed to be sitting on the tip of a needle, and jumped up quickly.
Xia Gui was startled and looked at Xiao Liuzi, but saw that Xiao Liuzi's face was full of horror, and he pointed to the ground and shouted tremblingly, "Head, head!"
Xia Gui followed Xiao Liuzi's gaze and looked at the grass, but saw half of the bloody head lying in the grass, as if it had been partially gnawed by something, leaving only the head and two eyes. Those two eyes were glaring at Xiao Liuzi angrily, looking dead.
This person's head was terrifying, Xia Gui couldn't help but feel his heart beating suddenly, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, he hurriedly turned his head away.
"We ...... Let's go. ”
Xiao Liuzi didn't dare to take another look, and hurriedly went to carry Baozi's body.
The further back he went, Xia Gui was horrified to find that there were always some severed limbs and stumps hidden in the grass. These severed limbs and stumps are like discarded garbage, hidden in the long grass one by one.
Some have been buried in the ground, wafting the smell of decay, while others have been discarded for a long time, and after a long period of wind and sun, they have long since weathered and calcified, turning into a piece of white bone.
Seeing this horror, Xiao Liuzi became more and more frightened, his nerves were extremely tense, and his feet were getting faster and faster.
Unconsciously, the dark fortress was getting closer and closer, and the fortress became bigger and bigger in sight. It was like a huge monster with its mouth closed, sitting and lying on the boundless savannah.
On closer inspection, the fortress turned out to be a cave dug into the mountain, and the entrance of the cave had a stone door that opened like the closed mouth of a monster.
It's a deserted and secret base.
There was a dead silence outside the stone gate, and there was an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
"Whew, it should be here. Xiao Liuzi placed the body ten meters in front of the stone gate.
After placing the body of the bun, Xiao Liuzi gave Xia Gui a retreating look.
Xia Gui covered his stomach with embarrassment, and said, "Why don't you go first......
Xiao Liuzi panicked, "Dude, you won't be in a hurry at this time, right?"
Xia Gui nodded awkwardly.
"Let's get out of here, and we'll talk about it later. Xiao Liuzi persuaded.
Xia Gui thought for a while, "You go first!"
Xiao Liuzi's eyes rolled, seeing Xia Gui's appearance that seemed to be unable to hold back, and remembered Lord Feng's warning, he had to put down the corpse and leave, and finally stomped his feet, "You, you can do it yourself, I have to go first!"
In this ghost place, he didn't want to stay for a second, so he left Xia Gui and ran away without looking back.
As soon as this little sixth son leaves, the purpose of Xia Gui will be achieved. He looked around vigilantly, and when he saw that there was no one left or right, he picked a tall bush in the distance and slipped in.
In the Southern Wilderness Palace before, Xia Gui practiced a martial art called "Turtle Breath Method" because of curiosity. This martial art has no practical offensive use, but it is quite advantageous for hiding one's whereabouts and evading the pursuit of enemies. As long as the other party's cultivation is not completely crushing himself, Xia Gui can use this martial art to hide quietly and newly.
Xia Gui retracted his mind and slowed down his breathing, his breath was secretly hidden in the grass, which was extremely difficult to perceive.
