When Ying Xiaochuan heard this, he smiled faintly: "Where are you going with me?"

Hongzhong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked in a low voice that was not very sure: "...... Didn't you go to find Ao Ling?"

Two days have passed since that day.

Ying Xiaochuan said: "I'm going to find Ao Ling." ”

Hongzhong scratched his head and confessed: "Last night, I saw you sitting in the living room from upstairs alone, and I knew that you must not be at ease, so I waited at the door." ”

Ying Xiaochuan smiled: "I know, since you saw it, come with me." ”

Hongzhong followed behind Ying Xiaochuan, one person and one demon walked out for a long time, and Hongzhong said in wonder behind him: "Boss." ”

"Huh?"

"Why do you always like to act alone? The confusion in the red language could not be concealed.

Ying Xiaochuan faintly felt that this was familiar, as if he had heard it in other people's mouths not long ago, so he naturally answered: "Naturally, it's because it's convenient, otherwise what do you think?"

"You're afraid of dragging us down!"

"It's not. ”

"Huh?"

Ying Xiaochuan said solemnly: "Don't think I am so great, I'm just afraid that you will hold me back." ”

"......" pursed his lips in the red and complained softly: "The mouth is hard and the heart is soft." ”

An hour later, Ying Xiaochuan and Hongzhong walked to the open space pointed out on the map, which was almost the edge of the entire mountain range, and there was an endless layer of dry grass, although it was not completely devoid of grass, but it was almost there, the soil under his feet was black, the color was dull, and there was no green grass in sight.

At that time, the morning sun had just risen in the sky, and the red sunlight was reflected on his face, and Ying Xiaochuan's face and ears were also ruddy.

Ying Xiaochuan stepped on one dead grass after another, and turned around and said, "Hongzhong." ”

"Yes. ”

"How does this look so barren. ”

"It's been like this in recent decades. Hongzhong said: "A few decades ago, there was a tree spirit in the mountain who transformed into a human and fell into a natural disaster. It rained all night in the sky, and the land burned to the ground, and after that, no trees ever grew here, and even if they did, they were small weeds that did not form and died in a short time. ”

Ying Xiaochuan sighed: "The monster is formed, and the natural disasters to be brought by it cannot be prevented, but fortunately, the affected area is not large, and only this inch of land is burned." ”

"yes. Hongzhong echoed: "However, our demon clan also has such a saying, the greater the catastrophe brought by which monster is formed, it means that his talent will be greater in the future, and the natural disaster brought by this tree spirit has been the largest in the past few hundred years." ”

"What about the dryads?"

"I don't know. Hongzhong shook his head: "I don't know him, I just know that he lives around here." ”

Ying Xiaochuan walked forward for a while, and suddenly saw a big camphor tree in front of him, and among the dry grass, there was only one of them, standing there swaggeringly, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Boss, look at that tree!" Hongzhong also saw it, and pointed to it: "It is the tree spirit, and on this mountain, it is the only one who wants to live in this place where birds don't." ”

"I see it, I ......" The volume of the speech gradually decreased, Ying Xiaochuan looked ahead, and couldn't help but 'tsk', the tree was moving forward.

Unlike all the big trees that are supposed to take root and sprout and burrow into the ground and stay still, the tree is constantly moving its position, and if I am not mistaken, it moves in a jumping mode.

As soon as you jump, you move forward by one meter.

Ying Xiaochuan hesitated: "He is the talented dryad you said?"

"It should be...... Let's ......" Hongzhong wiped the cold sweat on his head and laughed a few times: "I heard that his temperament is naturally active and happy with ordinary people, but at first I didn't believe it, but I didn't think about it, but this is true." ”

Ying Xiaochuan said lightly: "The map shows that Ao Ling and Ao Xue are near here, but we can't find them, so there is only one possibility, they are here, but they are hidden in a place we can't see." Since the dryad grew here, it should know Ao Xue's whereabouts. ”

With that, he walked forward and stopped the dryad.

"Hello, can you ask for directions?"

Seeing a person standing in front of him, the dryad suddenly stopped his throbbing steps, tilted his head to look at him for a long time, and said, "Who are you?"

Ying Xiaochuan smiled: "I am a person, I have no malice, I just want to ask for directions." ”

"Ask for the way, do you need to see the road here?" the dryad stood in place and kept jumping to his feet, "Oh, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, it's burning me, I can't stand it anymore." ”

Ying Xiaochuan paused: "You said hot feet." ”

"That's right. The dryad said bitterly: "A few days ago, a fire dragon suddenly came, burrowing under the ground, and my feet hurt every day. ”

Ying Xiaochuan said: "Then why don't I feel hot feet?"

"Of course you can't feel it, are your feet as long as mine? I was not careful, I could touch the tail of that dragon, and in just a few days, I was burned off several leg hairs. ”

It turned out that Ao Xue was hiding underground, no wonder he couldn't find it, but he didn't know where the entrance to the underground was.

Ying Xiaochuan said: "That's why you keep jumping around?"

The dryad replied, "Why don't you think I'm jumping and playing? By the way, aren't you going to ask for directions? Forget it, I'll tell you kindly, you're going in the wrong direction, and if you go further there's a cliff, you have to go back, and if you go straight back, there's a mountain road, and it'll take about three or four hours. Okay, I'm not going to tell you more, I'm going to keep jumping. ”

"Wait. Ying Xiaochuan said: "Actually, I'm not here to ask for directions. ”

The tree demon paused for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "You are so strange, one moment you say to ask for directions, and another time you say you don't ask for directions, why are you stopping me if you don't ask for directions?"

Ying Xiaochuan said straight to the point: "Don't be angry, in fact, I'm here to inquire about the dragon." ”

The dryad paused again and asked, "You also want to come and dip in immortal energy?"

Ying Xiaochuan shook his head with a smile: "Two days ago, was there another dragon?"

The dryad was even more surprised: "Yes, yes, you know everything." ”

"That's what I'm here for. ”

The dryad opened the conversation: "Recently, I have been really busy, there is a fire dragon, and there is a water dragon, and the water dragon is still like you, and asked me for the way, and then I told her where the fire dragon is, and she went." I'll tell you secretly, I heard the two of them quarrel, but fortunately it was just a quarrel, and there was no fight, otherwise I wouldn't even have my legs. ”

Ying Xiaochuan said seriously: "Actually, those two dragons are my friends, they are two sisters, but because of a little misunderstanding, I came to persuade them, can you tell me, where are they now?"
