246 Patrol
After Shen Muzhi followed Luan Yan and Ning Xiaoliu a little farther, he asked behind him, "Are the two senior brothers going to patrol with me later?"
Luan Yan stopped, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Xiaoliu will be with you." The two of you will patrol around the main formation for an hour. In an hour, someone will come to replace you. Don't worry, since Senior Brother Jiang has already negotiated with you, then we won't do anything to you anymore. Besides, we are now arranging for you to patrol in front of your Senior Brother Bai, and if something happens to you at that time, we won't be able to do anything about it. So, you can rest assured. ”
Luan Yan's words sounded very convincing at first glance. But will Shen Muzhi really believe it?
He is not such a simple-minded child, he has seen enough of the filth of people's hearts.
Luan Yan and Ning Xiaoliu looked at him with a murderous aura that couldn't be hidden, how could they not do anything when they lured him out this time?
Shen Muzhi smiled on his face and said, "I'm relieved." ”
"Okay, then let's go with Xiaoliu. Saying that, Luan Yan also turned his head and told Ning Xiaoliu: "Senior Brother Shen's realm is lower than yours, you take care of it more." ”
Ning Xiaoliu squinted at Shen Muzhi, and then nodded towards Luan Yan: "Senior Brother Luan, don't worry, I will definitely take more care of Senior Brother Shen!" After speaking, he smiled at Shen Muzhi.
Shen Muzhi also smiled back.
Then, the two of them walked one after the other to the middle of the formation.
As soon as he entered the formation, Shen Muzhi deliberately opened a short distance from Ning Xiaoliu and was on guard.
Ning Xiaoliu walked all the way to the front, not even looking back, as if he really didn't plan to do anything to him.
It didn't take long for the two to go into battle.
Outside the formation, he met the two senior brothers of Jiuhuafeng who were waiting for the change of guard.
After Ning Xiaoliu and them saw each other, he stood to the side, pointed at Shen Muzhi, and said, "Two senior brothers, this is Shen Muzhi's Shen junior brother of Zhengyang Peak, presumably the two senior brothers should have heard of it, right?"
After the two Jiuhuafeng senior brothers looked at him, one of them answered with a smile: "Senior Brother Shen is famous, how could we not have heard of it!"
"Senior Brother Shen, these two are Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Qin of Jiuhua Peak. Ning Xiaoliu introduced Shen Muzhi again.
When Shen Muzhi heard this, he bowed down and bowed his hand.
Senior Brother Qin, who hadn't spoken, returned the salute, while the surnamed Xu didn't move.
"Alright, since you're here, we'll go back. Senior Brother Xu turned his head and finished talking to Ning Xiaoliu, then pulled his legs and left.
Shen Muzhi stepped aside, and only after watching the two senior brothers of Jiuhua Peak enter the fog did he withdraw his gaze.
"Let's go. Start patrolling. Ning Xiaoliu greeted coldly, and took the lead in rushing forward. Seeing this, Shen Muzhi hurriedly followed.
Along the way, Ning Xiaoliu moved very quickly, and Shen Muzhi's realm was lower, so he had a little difficulty following up. Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts all year round and has very good endurance. So, I've been able to keep up.
Ning Xiaoliu was so deliberate, he didn't need to patrol at such a fast speed, he just wanted to toss Shen Muzhi, it was best to toss him until his physical strength was exhausted. However, when he didn't expect it, although Shen Muzhi seemed to be a little struggling to follow, he kept persevering.
In the end, he himself was about to be a little exhausted, but this Shen Muzhi had a long breath, and he didn't mean to do it at all.
Ning Xiaoliu was shocked in his heart, but he didn't want to be pressed by Shen Muzhi in this kind of thing, so he kept gritting his teeth and holding on.
An hour gradually passed, and Ning Xiaoliu was sweating profusely, and his face was slightly pale.
Shen Muzhi was also sweating profusely, but his face was slightly red, and his condition was much better than that of Ning Xiaoliu.
In the end, I finally finished an hour. Ning Xiaoliu led Shen Muzhi back to the original point, and the senior brother who came to change classes was already waiting. Seeing the two of them like this, he was quite surprised: "What's wrong with you?"
Senior Brother Qingliangfeng was a little nervous: "It can't be that you have encountered a demon beast, right?"
Ning Xiaoliu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, we just went a little farther, and when we came back, we were afraid that it would be too late, so we hurried a little." ”
"It's good if you don't have it. Senior Brother Qingliangfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then we'll trouble the two senior brothers, let's go back first. "Ning Xiaoliudao.
"Okay, thank you guys. ”
After a few words of greeting, Ning Xiaoliu took Shen Muzhi and walked back.
Just now, the two senior brothers didn't speak to Shen Muzhi from beginning to end, as if he didn't exist. Shen Muzhi didn't care, what he was thinking about now was that in this hour, Ning Xiaoliu didn't seem to have any thoughts that were going to be unfavorable to him except for competing with him on the matter of hurrying with him.
Could it really be that as Luan Yan said, they really didn't plan to do anything to him before they left here?
Along the way, Shen Muzhi looked at the back of Ning Xiaoliu who was walking in front, and his heart was full of doubts.
After returning to the lake and meeting with Bai Yu and them, Bai Yu and Su Hua were relieved to see that he was fine.
Bai Yu asked him, "Didn't do anything to you?"
Shen Muzhi shook his head.
"I don't think they're going to be so confused. Bai Yu said.
Shen Muzhi was noncommittal.
He always felt that it wasn't necessarily that simple.
Time passed slowly, and two hours later, Ning Xiaoliu came to him again, saying that it was their turn to change shifts again.
Shen Muzhi didn't say anything, and went with him.
This time, Ning Xiaoliu didn't even do anything to compete. For an hour, it's really just patrolling. An hour later, the other senior brothers came to change shifts, and Shen Muzhi followed Ning Xiaoliu back.
Then, after waiting for another two hours, Ning Xiaoliu came to call him again.
Another hour.
Or an ordinary patrol.
Shen Muzhi himself began to believe that Ning Xiaoliu and Luan Yan really didn't plan to do anything to him before leaving the secret realm.
After coming back, the Higashishima side, which had not responded for a long time, suddenly responded.
When Jiang Wenqing came over to look for Bai Yu, Ning Xiaoliu suddenly came over again.
"Isn't there still an hour before it's our turn?" Shen Muzhi frowned slightly and asked.
Ning Xiaoliu replied: "One of the senior brothers of Xianlai Peak has deteriorated and needs to be taken care of. So we moved forward a shift. ”
Shen Muzhigang had also heard the news of the deterioration of Senior Brother Xianlaifeng's injury, so he was not suspicious. Then, he followed Ning Xiaoliu away.
After the two of them left the big formation, they followed the route they had patrolled before, all the way over.
On the way, as usual, no one spoke.
Ning Xiaoliu was in front and Shen Muzhi was behind, separated by a distance of more than half a zhang.
About halfway through, suddenly there was some movement in the forest not far away.
The two of them quickly stopped, and stared vigilantly towards the location where the voice came. In the darkness, you can't see anything.
"Let's see. Ning Xiaoliu said, and took the lead and cautiously approached over there.
Seeing this, Shen Muzhi naturally followed.
The location where the voice came from was not very far, and the two soon arrived nearby, and after a careful search, they found nothing. Just as he was about to leave, a similar movement was heard farther away.
After Shen Muzhi heard this, he frowned.
This movement is very similar to the movement just now, and it is very likely that it was made by the same thing.
It's just that it was here, and when they got here, it appeared farther away, and it looked like it was deliberately luring them to go farther away.
Shen Muzhi was just about to say his considerations, but Ning Xiaoliu had already taken the lead in shouting, "Over there, let's go!" After speaking, the person had already jumped out.
Shen Muzhi had no choice but to follow.
Sure enough, near the location where the two of them came from, a similar sound came from a farther away.
Ning Xiaoliu didn't even think about it, and wanted to chase forward again.
Shen Muzhi hurriedly shouted to him: "Senior Brother Ning, I'm afraid there will be fraud, it's better to be careful." ”
Ning Xiaoliu frowned, and said, "Is this afraid?" As he spoke, he sighed contemptuously, then threw down Shen Muzhi and ran forward.
Seeing him like this, although Shen Muzhi was annoyed, he couldn't leave him alone, so he had to follow him.
It didn't take long for the two of them to be near the location where the movement had come from.
This time, there was no movement from further afield. After the two of them searched around here, Ning Xiaoliu suddenly found a cave hidden behind a low cliff.
The mouth of the cave was not large, and only one person could enter and exit. On the ground at the entrance of the cave, there are obviously some marks, and the traces look quite new.
Looks like that thing must have gone into this cave just now.
"Let's go, go in and take a look!" Ning Xiaoliu stared at the entrance of the cave for a while, and then suddenly said.
Shen Mu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly stopped: "No, this is too risky." ”
Ning Xiaoliu ignored it, raised his leg and walked to the cave.
Seeing him like this, although Shen Muzhi wanted to turn around and leave, he also understood that if he really threw this Ning Xiaoliu here, if something happened to this Ning Xiaoliu, I am afraid that the yellow mud on his body would be even more.
I had no choice but to follow in.
The cave was pitch black, and the air smelled of damp decay.
The originally narrow corridor, the further you go in, the more spacious it becomes. It didn't take much effort, but the space around it was much larger.
The hole seems to be quite deep.
The two of them walked one after the other for a while, but they didn't see the bottom yet, Shen Mu's heart was bottomless, he walked two steps quickly, and after catching up with him, he had to persuade again: "Senior Brother Ning, let's go back." ”
This time, when Ning Xiaoliu heard this, he suddenly agreed.
Shen Muzhi didn't expect Ning Xiaoliu to be so cooperative this time, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Just stunned, Ning Xiaoliu beside him suddenly flashed behind him, and then a dazzling sword light poured out, engulfing Shen Muzhi in an instant.
After Ning Xiaoliu came out with a sword, he didn't even look at whether Shen Muzhi was dead or alive, he turned around and ran outside.
In a few moments, he was out of the cave. After arriving at the entrance of the cave, Ning Xiaoliu did not leave, a wind and thunder ball was thrown out of his hand and thrown directly into the hole.
There was an explosion on the ground, and the entire cave collapsed instantly, and the mountain rocks rolled down one place, blocking the entire cave entrance tightly.
Ning Xiaoliu looked at the completely blocked hole, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
For this plan, he endured the nausea in his heart and patrolled with this Shen Muzhi several times, but fortunately, the result was very satisfying!
By the time they left the formation, there had already been a response from the Higashishima side. From that time onwards, at most half an hour, the altar must be opened. Nearly three incense sticks have passed now. Half an hour away, only about a stick of incense remained.
In this way, even if Bai Yu and the others wanted to come to Shen Muzhi, there was not enough time.
Unless they are willing to miss the time when the altar is opened. But in that case, then they don't have to go back.
If so, it would be better.
The matter of Qi'an, without Bai Yu, they can say whatever they want.
As for Bai Yu and Shen Muzhi, as long as they said that they lost their lives in the mouth of the demon beast, even if someone probably knew something, but the people were gone, and they had no evidence, how could they possibly say it.
Ning Xiaoliu thought about this, and his heart was extremely satisfied.
Naturally, such a 'perfect' plan was not something he could have come up with in his brain.
