Chapter 211: All the way to the west
Seeing that Jin Xiaochai's face was getting worse and worse, Mo Ning and the others immediately suppressed their laughter, but they still looked like they were watching a good show.
Cai'er's actions made Shi Mu angry and funny.
But after all, this Cai'er was brought by himself, so he had to bow his hand to Jin Xiaochai and said:
"Uncle Jin, please calm your anger, your status is noble, I guess you won't bother with a parrot. ”
"Oh, even if Uncle Ben is a noble person, you must have listened to what he said, right?" Jin Xiaochai rolled his eyes, put down the whip in his hand, and asked with a smile.
Before Shi Mu could answer, a noisy voice rang out again.
"Stone, you can't listen to this woman, she must want you to kill Cai'er, Cai'er is very obedient, Cai'er's meat is stinky, it's really not delicious!" The parrot's wings lifted half of it, revealing one eye, and after the thief glanced at Jin Xiaochai, he shouted in a low voice.
Shi Mu was speechless for a while, seeing that Jin Xiaochai's eyes were about to erupt, and he looked like he was about to explode, so he didn't wait for her to speak, and hurriedly turned his head and said sharply to Cai'er:
"Cai'er, Uncle Jin is an elder of my family, and his cultivation is much higher than mine, if she has to kill you to cook soup, I have no way at all. ”
"Uncle Jin is above, Cai'er was just joking with you just now, don't mind, you are so beautiful and intelligent, and so wise and martial, how can you like this stone......" When the parrot heard this, her little eyes showed a look of horror, and she hurriedly said to Jin Xiaochai flatteringly.
"No matter how verbose you are, you don't need Uncle Jin to do it, I'll pluck your hair first. Shi Mu glared at Cai'er and let her swallow back the next words.
The three Moning onlookers wanted to laugh in their hearts, but the two in front of them, which one they couldn't afford to offend, could only lower their heads and hold back their faces red.
"Forget it, this parrot is quite interesting, I will forgive him if I don't remember the villain. Shi Mu, come here. I have something to tell you. When Jin Xiaochai heard Cai'er's fart, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she seemed to be quite useful, and put away the whip. After hooking his finger towards Shi Mu, he turned over and rode on the red horse, turned the horse's head and walked out of the valley.
When Shi Mu heard this, he turned over and rode on the black-horned horse, and drove the horse towards Jin Xiaochai. The three of Mo Ning also got on their horses one after another, following closely behind.
Soon, Shi Mu and Jin Xiaochai had already driven their horses side by side.
"Shi Mu, you escorted the Fire Dance Princess all the way to the Holy Mountain, so you should be quite familiar with the Barbarian Wasteland, right?" Jin Xiaochai asked.
"I've been in the wilderness for months, and I can't talk about it, but I can only say that I know a little. Shi Mu said.
"This time we went to the Heavenly Demon Sect, we could have taken the sea route. But now that the situation along the coast is tense, we have to find another way to try to cross the barbarian wasteland. The route of this journey. It's up to you. Jin Xiaochai said.
"Good. When Shi Mu heard this, he replied with a solemn face.
Jin Xiaochai nodded, pulled the reins, and the jujube red horse under him ran towards the valley mouth on all fours.
Seeing this, Shi Mu and the other four also accelerated their horses one after another, and followed the jujube red steed in front of them.
At this time, the fog in the valley has gradually dissipated, the morning sun in the east is rising, and a dazzling sunlight pours down obliquely, illuminating everything in the valley brightly and brilliantly.
Shi Mu and a group of five people. Facing the rising sun, the horse left the valley and drifted away to the west, gradually turning into five black spots.
......
Ten days later.
Shi Mu and his entourage exited the country through the border of Yanguo. As soon as he walked not far away, he saw a barbarian barracks of considerable size between the two hills in front of him.
Next to the camp was a large flag with a long number of poles, and the flag was waving in the wind, and a red scorpion was quite eye-catching on it.
The barracks here are just at the entrance to the mountain road, like a checkpoint. Anyone who travels between the two tribes must go through its examination.
A moment later, inside the barbarian barracks' tent.
A barbarian man of about thirty with a scorched face sat on the main seat, and his **** left arm was tattooed with a fiery red poisonous scorpion, and at this time he looked at Shi Mu and his party standing in the big tent expressionlessly.
The aura on his body is powerful, and he has already cultivated in the middle of the innate stage.
"Your Excellency, as a strong sect, your subordinates don't seem to be weak, dare to ask why you want to enter my wilderness?" the yellow man looked Jin Xiaochai up and down, and asked unceremoniously.
"Lord Dutong, under the orders of the sect, you must go to the Blue Qi Department to buy a batch of herbs, and you must also know the safety issues in the wasteland. Jin Xiaochai's face did not change.
Lanqibu is only a small and medium-sized barbarian tribe, living next to Qitie Mountain in the depths of the wilderness, rich in many famous rare herbs, and there are many fierce tribes on the way.
This is the excuse that Jin Xiaochai and Shi Mu have discussed a long time ago.
"Pay a hundred thousand taels of silver, and you can go." The yellow-faced man groaned slightly and nodded.
"Thank you, Lord Dutong!" Jin Xiaochai smiled slightly.
After speaking, she flipped her hand, had an extra silver ticket in her hand, and handed it over directly.
The other party accepted it unceremoniously, and Jin Xiaochai and the others hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Soon the big tent was quiet, and the yellow-faced man got up to open the tent door, and he looked at the figure of Shi Mu and the others gradually moving away, and there was a faint intriguing and strange look in his eyes.
Two days later, late at night.
Shi Mu was meditating cross-legged in a tent, breathing as if he were breathing.
Not far from him, the parrot Cai'er was also sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, his eyes opened, his right hand moved, and a black light flashed, and the black knife of meteorite had fallen into his hand.
"Phew!"
There was a strange sound of cloth tearing.
Immediately after, a black shadow the size of a calf rushed in from the sound, and rushed towards him with a strong and smelly wind.
Shi Mu flicked up from the ground, and at the same time, the black knife light in his hand flickered in the air, and a rain of blood fell in the air.
"Whew!" a strange low scream.
The attacking shadow had been sliced in two by the black knife from its neck.
Shi Mu looked at it, and it turned out to be a strange beast with a lizard head, a wolf body, and a poisonous scorpion tail.
"Manticore!" his pupils narrowed.
He vaguely remembered that this was a kind of social beast, with a low cultivation level, and its tail contained highly poisonous, which was quite difficult.
"Quack! What a strange thing, it's too dangerous. The parrot screamed in fright, and with a flap of its wings, it flew out of the breach.
At this moment, there were a few strange sounds, and three black shadows shot from three directions.
Shi Mu's right arm shook, and three black sword qi burst out of the air, and in a flash, they disappeared into the black shadow's body.
Three black shadows immediately slammed down from mid-air, letting out a terrible beast howl.
Shi Mu's figure flashed, and he walked out of the tent, his eyes swept away, and Jin Xiaochai and Mo Ningdu had also rushed outside the tent, holding weapons and fighting with black shadows.
As far as the eye can see, the camp at this time is full of this kind of manticore, and the west side is even more black and oppressive, and it is pouring towards here, and the total number is about a thousand.
At this time, Jin Xiaochai's whole body was shrouded in a black light formed by a layer of whip shadows, and at the same time, long whips condensed by true qi continued to fly out of the black light, and the scorpion-tailed beast that was drawn immediately exploded and turned into meat paste.
Mo Ning's whole person was shrouded in a layer of white mist, and the manticore-tailed beast that rushed in was soon silent.
Bai Shuixiu held a blue staff in his hand, and his whole body was protected by a layer of blue light, and with a wave of his jade hand, five transparent spears that were shimmering immediately appeared out of thin air, and with a flash, the two manticores were nailed to the ground.
Qian Xiong held a black iron shovel in each hand, and danced into two black lights around his body, and the scorpion-tailed beast that the black light touched immediately broke his bones and tendons.
"Most of these manticores only have the strength of the early stage of the day after tomorrow, but their minions and tail hooks are highly poisonous, so be careful not to be touched. The fire on Shi Mu's knife flashed, and it immediately turned into layers of fire clouds to protect himself in it, and at the same time opened his mouth to remind.
Hearing Shi Mu's reminder, everyone's hearts were full of joy.
"Everyone, protect the horses!" At this time, Jin Xiaochai suddenly thought of something, and while sweeping towards the eastern slope of the camp, he reminded in a loud voice.
When Shi Mu and the others heard this, they also hurriedly moved to the west where the horses were placed.
More than half an hour later, Shi Mu and the others were on the eastern slope of the camp, protecting the horses, and there were five or six hundred corpses of scorpion-tailed beasts around them, dense and bleeding.
The remaining three or four hundred manticores finally showed fear in their eyes, and in a hissing sound of "snort", they turned around and fled.
"Quack!" the parrot flew from nowhere.
It circled around Shi Mu's head and flew in a certain direction to the west.
The corners of Shi Mu's eyes twitched slightly, his body spread, and he followed like an arrow from Hong, and after Jin Xiaochai and the others were stunned for a moment, they also followed.
A quarter of an hour later, it was on a slope more than ten miles away from the west of Shi Mu and the others' camp.
Dozens of feet west of the slope is a barbarian camp with a bonfire.
Two days ago, the yellow-faced barbarian man at the checkpoint was sitting by the bonfire with a gloomy face, listening to the report of a barbarian totem warrior in front of him, and there were more than twenty barbarian totem warriors standing beside him.
Beside the big man, there was a giant scorpion-tailed beast with a body of more than two feet long, exuding the strong aura of the Great Perfection of the day after tomorrow.
"Who?"
Suddenly, the yellow-faced barbarian man suddenly stood up, turned his head to look somewhere outside the camp, and shouted.
"Lord Dutong, you commanded the fierce beasts to attack us at night, did you want to provoke a war between the human and barbarian races?" Jin Xiaochai walked out of the darkness with a leather whip in his hand and a cold face.
Shi Mu and the other four also had their weapons in hand, walked out with murderous faces, and lined up on Jin Xiaochai's side.
"It's you, what a coincidence. Speaking of which, our barbarian wasteland has never been quiet at night, and it is normal for fierce beasts to haunt it......" The yellow-faced man's eyes flashed and he smiled.
Before the words were finished, a piercing sound of "pop" sounded in the air.
The leather whip in Jin Xiaochai's hand flicked, and in an instant, a black whip shadow with the thickness of a thigh appeared out of thin air, and the next moment, like a giant python, wrapped around the yellow-faced barbarian man. (To be continued.) )
