No. 507: The Hunter and the Prey
It's autumn, but the temperature is still very high.
However, in the deep mountains and old forests of the Qinling Mountains, it is very cool.
The mountains are deep and the forests are full of tall and low trees as far as the eye can see. The road is very difficult to walk, covered with layers of thick fallen leaves, and the lower fallen leaves have begun to rot, giving off a strong smell of decay.
What's even more unbearable is that because of the decay and fallen leaves in the lower layer, the ground is very soft, as if stepping on thin mud. In one step, your feet sink into the filthy, rotting residue that makes you feel disgusting.
Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng are nothing, they use light body techniques, not to mention rotten fallen leaves, even if it is on the surface of the water, they will not fall if they step on it.
Shi Xinyi and Zhou Changle are light in weight and flexible, although they are difficult to walk, there is no big problem.
However, it was a disaster for the two big men, Suzaku and He Siyu, both of whom were big men of more than 1.8 meters and weighed more than 180.
Kick by bomb, the stench and black-gray rot flipped out by their feet.
The two big men didn't care, but they suffered Shi Xinyi and Zhou Changle.
Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng can at least use the breathing technique, anyway, it is the same as the light body technique, and it doesn't consume any spiritual power.
Shi Xinyi and Zhou Changle only felt that life was worse than death, the strong smell like an old cellar, and the indescribable disgusting and rotten things simply challenged Shi Xinyi and Zhou Changle's psychological bottom line.
didn't go long after, Shi Xinyi couldn't see a trace of blood on her face, and she retched from time to time. She is a woman, and she is also a very clean woman, where has she been tortured like this?
Although Zhou Changle is an alien, firstly, he is young, and secondly, he has been pampered since he was a child, this kind of stinky place is simply two worlds with him.
He was able to hold back and not throw it out, he didn't strike halfway, he was already very strong.
As for Suzaku and He Siyu, the former has been on a mission with Leng Shaoning for several years, and he has experienced any sinister environment, which is not a predicament for him at all.
And the latter is a thorough rough man, who has been nurtured by the boys' dormitory since he was a child, and this taste can only be regarded as a drizzle to him.
Finally, Shi Xinyi couldn't help it, leaned over and spit out.
When she vomited, Zhou Changle's efforts to endure for a long time were in vain, and she vomited as if she was infected.
Liu Xi and the others had to stop and let the two of them vomit.
He Siyu said: "Why can't you stand this smell? Think about when I was in college, we played basketball and football every day in the eight-person dormitory, and when we came back at night, we took off our shoes and fell asleep, and the smell was much worse than this." ”
Suzaku asked, "How powerful?"
He Siyu thought for a while and said, "Let me tell you this, aren't there a lot of mosquitoes on a hot day? Especially since there is a large bamboo forest around our dormitory building, no matter day or night, there are buzzing and popping sounds everywhere in other dormitories. Only our dorm was quiet, not even a single mosquito. ”
Oh my God, even the mosquitoes are smoked to death, how smelly is that?
Shi Xinyi and Zhou Changle had already stopped, but after hearing He Siyu's words, they turned their heads without saying a word and continued to retch, which was even more powerful than before.
Liu Xi glanced at He Siyu, and said angrily: "Shut up, no one will be dumb if you don't speak." ”
He Siyu is an honest man, and when he was scolded by Liu Xi, he just scratched his head and grinned.
Suzaku said, "What is this, I want to ...... it at the beginning"
"Shut up!"
Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng shouted at the same time, these two big bosses deserve to be single for a lifetime.
Suzaku was yelled, looking at Liu Xi with a face full of grievances, and his innocent eyes seemed to ask Liu Xi what he had done wrong.
Liu Xi sighed secretly in her heart, people's hearts were scattered, and she felt that the team was getting more and more difficult to lead.
Shi Xinyi finally relented, first glared at the two of them fiercely, and then said to Liu Xi: "Captain, why don't we let the Tempest Clans send us a gas mask." I heard that there is miasma in the deep mountains and old forests, and if you breathe for a long time, you will be poisoned. ”
Zhou Changle nodded again and again, he didn't know if he was poisoned by breathing miasma, he just felt that he was really poisoned if he continued to breathe in these smells.
Liu Xi also felt embarrassed, his heart was still a supernatural person, and his physical fitness was too poor.
But at this point, she can't leave the two alone. Looking at the appearance of Shi Xinyi and Zhou Changle, it is estimated that the two of them will directly spit out all the bitter gall if they go on.
Before I saw the Blue Moon, how could the two members lose their combat effectiveness?
Liu Xi looked at Qiu Changsheng and motioned for him to find a way.
Qiu Changsheng looked at her in disbelief, but when he saw her glaring at her, he sighed, and resigned himself to taking out a white pill the size of a soybean from his body.
As soon as this pill was taken out, a faint orchid-like fragrance immediately dispelled the stench in the forest, and at a glance, it was clear that it was not an ordinary thing.
Liu Xi didn't need to look at it, just smelling the smell and knowing that it was the most common qi nourishing pill in the cultivation world, an elixir for disciples in the qi refining period to warm and nourish the spiritual energy in their bodies.
This thing is not unusual in the eyes of the monk, and its status is probably equivalent to the six-flavor Dihuang pill in the drugstore.
However, no matter how ordinary it is in the eyes of the monks, it is a first-class medicine for ordinary people. Although it can't prolong life, it is a good thing to strengthen the body and cultivate one's character.
As Qiu Changsheng's identity, why there is a lowest-level pill in the cultivation world such as the Qi Nourishing Pill on his body, the reason is very simple.
The group of gods of Qianjimen, who have always directly become the national teacher of a certain country when they go down the mountain, or make friends with high-ranking and powerful people, and the Qi Cultivation Pill is a necessary prop for their Qianjimen disciples.
Qiu Changsheng divided the Qi Nourishing Pill into two and gave them to Shi Xinyi and Zhou Changle respectively, and said, "If you eat it, you should be fine." ”
Shi Xinyi and Zhou Changle smelled the fragrance of the pills, where did they care so much, and swallowed them directly.
When the pill entered his stomach, he felt that his churning stomach suddenly calmed down, his rapid breathing was also steady and slow, and his whole body felt an indescribable comfortable feeling.
The most important thing is that the stench in the woods is still the same, but after the two of them inhaled their noses, they did not feel the feeling that life was worse than death before.
"What kind of medicine is this, it works, I'm going to buy it and keep it ready for you. ”
Shi Xinyi exclaimed in surprise, she was still sluggish just now, and she was full of energy in an instant.
Zhou Changle nodded, agreeing with Shi Xinyi's statement, Chaoqiu Changsheng said, "Vice captain, what kind of medicine is this?"
Suzaku and He Siyu smelled the fragrance of the medicine, and heard what the two of them said so amazingly, and they also said to Qiu Changsheng: "Vice captain, let's eat one too." ”
Qiu Changsheng smiled and said: "You two big men just endure it, this medicine is very precious, it is refined and processed with more than a hundred kinds of precious Chinese herbs, it is the secret medicine of the Heavenly Master Sect of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and it cannot be bought." ”
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Shi Xinyi sighed, and said to Qiu Changsheng: "Team Lin, this medicine is so precious, I'll give you money." Aren't you short of money, count me as buying it for you. ”
Qiu Changsheng waved his hand and said generously: "They are all teammates, don't see each other like this." In addition, don't call me Lin Zeyu, I don't like this name, call me Qiu Changsheng. ”
"Why?" asked Zhou Changle.
"For no reason, I love the name. Qiu Changsheng said.
"Alright, Autumn Team. ”
Although the four of them thought it was strange, it was not an important matter, so they naturally didn't ask much.
The group continued to move forward, and every once in a while, Liu Xi would stop and pinch his fingers to calculate, and then choose a direction according to the results of the hexagram.
Suzaku also uses its eagle eye from time to time to observe whether there are any traces of man-made in the surrounding mountains and forests, but it has never been found.
Before I knew it, the sky was dark, and the jungle soon became pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Liu Xi and his entourage chose a dry and transparent place close to the mountain spring and stopped, took out a simple tent and sleeping bag from their backpacks, and took out a self-heating box lunch, ready to rest after dinner.
Suzaku often follows Leng Shaoning on missions, and is the most experienced in sleeping in the mountains and forests. He went out on a trip, caught two hares and a pheasant, and cleaned them by the mountain spring to be roasted and eaten.
As a foodie, Suzaku's backpack is large, almost as tall as his person, and the volume is almost equivalent to two of him.
I saw him take out a small pot from his backpack and a storage box, which was divided into various spices.
"I'll make you a braised rabbit and a chicken called Huahua, these two dishes are my best, to ensure that you have a happy meal. ”
Suzaku said as he quickly cut the two rabbits into pieces with his hands and feet, and fried the seasoning in the pan after passing the water. After a while, the forest was filled with the aroma of braised rabbit meat.
Suzaku took out two dried lotus leaves from his backpack, washed them, wrapped the pheasants marinated in spices, dug up the mud from the local materials, wrapped them in the lotus leaves, and buried them under the fire.
In the wilderness, you can still eat fragrant braised rabbit meat and flower chicken, and everyone is very happy. Finally, I found that Suzaku has a greater use than a pair of eagle eyes.
After the braised rabbit meat was ready, Suzaku moved away from the fire and dug out the flower chicken. He was not afraid of being hot, so he smashed the mud in a few strokes and parted the lotus leaves, revealing the fragrant chicken.
They are all young people, and they are not so particular.
Everyone rushed up and began to enjoy the food at the self-heating box lunch.
After eating and drinking, the others went to rest first, and Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng were in charge of keeping the first shift night.
The two sat in front of the fire, and Liu Xi added firewood casually, frowning and silent.
Qiu Changsheng sat on the other side, and when he saw this, he said, "You also feel it, he has always been not far from us. ”
Liu Xi glanced up at him, picked up the kettle and took a sip of water, and said, "What does he want to do?"
The corners of Qiu Changsheng's mouth hooked, and he smiled: "Probably, he wants to play with us." ”
Liu Xi also smiled, but he sneered: "So, we are actually the prey, he is the hunter?"
"I think that's what he thinks. ”
Liu Xi lowered his head, looked at the fire in front of him and said, "It's a little interesting, then why didn't he make a move, he had many chances to make a move today." ”
Qiu Changsheng sighed: "So, this hunter is very powerful, at least cautious enough, and patient enough. ”
"We gave him a lot of opportunities today, but he was so calm that he didn't make a single move, not even a try. He's watching and assessing what we're capable of, but he's also looking for real opportunities that aren't what we're giving him. ”
Liu Xi's expression sank, which was exactly what she was worried about.
Since she and Qiu Changsheng dared to come in and catch Lan Yue, of course they were sure to catch him. Even if the enemy can't be defeated, Blue Moon can't do anything about them.
You must know that when the two cooperated in the underground tomb, even Candle Jiuyin could play. No matter how powerful the blue moon is, it is absolutely powerful but candle nine yin.
Liu Xi's arbitrary gate and Qiu Changsheng's formation are all backhands that can escape from a long distance, and they are already invincible in advance.
Coupled with the support of the modern weapons of the Tempest Clan, as long as Blue Moon dares to show up, he will be caught sooner or later.
However, Blue Moon was more cautious and more cunning and dangerous than Liu Xi had imagined.
Moreover, this is the home of Blue Moon, and it is the battlefield he deliberately chose.
"If it were just the two of us, we might still be able to play hide and seek with him, but I'm sure they'll be in trouble as soon as we're gone. ”
Qiu Changsheng said, pointing to the four people sleeping in the tent.
"But if we stay with the four of them, it's slow and the goal is big. Blue Moon must have some way to keep an eye on us at all times, something we can both feel. Also, we are going deep into the deepest part of the Qinling Mountains, and it is easy to walk into the trap of the other party. ”
Liu Xi took Qiu Changsheng's words and added.
Qiu Changsheng said with a smile: "Yes, if I were Blue Moon, I wouldn't be in a hurry to make a move, and I would hang behind you not far away." Anyway, for me, Qinling is the best hiding place, and I didn't plan to leave Qinling in the first place. Unless the Huaxia government bombards the Qinling Mountains intensively with missiles and wants to raze the Qinling Mountains to the ground, no one will try to catch me. ”
"So, I just have to wait patiently, sooner or later you will let your guard down, your mood will become more and more irritable, more and more uncontrollable, and then you will show flaws. I can seize the opportunity to kill you one by one in the Qinling Mountains. ”
Liu Xi was silent.
For her and Qiu Changsheng, the thoughts in the enemy's hearts could not be hidden from them at all.
After all, the combined age of the two is not a thousand but eight hundred years old, and they have both lived to be old foxes, and their hair is empty, who can hide the eyes of the two?
But knowing and knowing, it doesn't mean that the two of them have a way to deal with Blue Moon.
At the end of the day, it was not so much that they were chasing the Blue Moon in the Qinling Mountains, but that the Blue Moon was deliberately guiding them.
Qiu Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, if the two of us are separated, you take the four of them to one side, and I will go to the other side by myself, and find a way to find out him." ”
Liu Xi shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's not appropriate to divide the troops, he wants us to divide the troops to hunt him down." ”
