Chapter Forty-Three: Seven Short Days

"Even if it's a big demon, it's not easy to cultivate!" Bai Mei stretched her waist and said, "I think, even if you can really cultivate a big demon, you don't know how long it will take to grow up." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hmm!" Qinglan nodded, agreeing with Bai Mei's words: "Even if you don't have to spend time cultivating, but by feeding the seeds with demon armor energy, the energy required is an astronomical amount in my opinion." ”

"So......" Manzhu Sawa curiously looked at the half of the withered seed in his hand: "...... Is that the murderer just going around hunting demon armor?"

"As far as the current speculation is concerned, that's it!" Qinglan nodded in certainty.

But soon, she continued: "However, according to some clues, there should be two murderers, one is the short man Qu Zhu and they met twice, this person is the real murderer who hunted demon armor in Jiuxu many times, and the three people I met today should have obtained such a seed, and then wanted to cultivate it, but the strength of these three people is not strong, and they can't be fatal through a sneak attack, so the commotion is a bit big, and as a result, Da Gang secretly sent a distress signal." ”

"It's a pity that this seed died after the death of the person it parasitized, and now it has no research value at all!" Qinglan said.

"Even if there is such a seed, what can it do?" As she spoke, a blood-colored silk thread gradually wrapped around the withered seed held in Manzhu Shahua's hand: "Instead of spending time on this, it is better to focus on your own improvement!" With her words, a flame instantly surrounded the seed, and in just two or three seconds, it turned into a pile of flying ashes.

At first, Xia Ju didn't pay attention, but when she felt the firelight, she glanced back and exclaimed: "Ah, big sister, why did you just burn it! I haven't seen it yet!"

"There's nothing to look at!" Manzhu Sawa looked lazy, supporting his cheek with one hand: "The current situation is that our operation this time is just to kill a few unlucky ghosts who were just about to start, but they also messed up?"

"Hmm!" Qinglan nodded: "The real murderer should still be in Jiuxu." ”

"That's ......," Manju Sawa yawned, "...... On the surface, we lifted the alert, but secretly, we had to continue to maintain the previous state of vigilance. Let's see if the man will be fooled. ”

Qinglan shook her head: "According to the contact these days, this person is very cunning and very cautious, I don't think there is much hope of doing so, but the eldest sister's arrangement is also correct, and we can't relax because of this, if we think we have caught the murderer and relax, I'm afraid we are in the hands of the enemy." ”

"Well, that's it!" Manzhu Sawa waved his hand: "It's late at night, let's go back and rest!"

This was the end of the meeting, and everyone got up and left.

And at this moment, under the night sky, a thin, hunched old man came to the place where the 'tree vine monster' died. After clearing the place, there are still a large number of twisted and tangled vines, but they have all withered and separated from the mass of vines in the center, and it is believed that it will not be long before they will turn into a pile of dry vines, the same as ordinary vines everywhere.

In the moonlight, you can see that there are patches of old age spots on the old man's face, and there are only a few loose white hairs on his head, which looks like weeds about to die in a dry field.

He walked slowly among the withered vines, and soon stood in the center, looking at the place where there was only an empty shell on the ground, and there was nothing left, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" Perhaps sensing the breath of his kind, his hump-like back began to wriggle and arch as if it were a living thing.

"Don't be angry, baby. The old man spoke in a doting tone, as if he was coaxing a child, but in the absence of anyone around, such a tone seemed very strange: "You haven't grown up yet, don't be angry, don't be angry." As he spoke, the old man turned around and walked out: "It seems that we can't stay here anymore, let's change places! Baby, are you hungry? Not hungry? It's good not to be hungry, it's good not to be hungry!"

As he spoke, the old man's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Meanwhile, in the brightly lit room, Rob was sitting at the broken desk, fiddling with the radio he had picked up from the garbage dump, constantly adjusting the FM buttons, so that the loudspeaker made an electromagnetic rustle from time to time, and occasionally a human voice or two could be heard, but it was soon inaudible due to interference.

If you listen to such a sound for a long time, you will be upset, let alone a cat with sensitive ears. Huahua could bear it at first, lying on the side of the fire, burying her head under her tail, but after a long time, she became very impatient, arched her back, and made a miserable cat meow: "Meow!"

Rob glanced at Flowey helplessly, and could only turn off the radio, so Flowey quieted down, flicked his tail, and fell down again.

He glanced at the radio, last time he clearly remembered receiving an undisturbed station, but now he doesn't know what's going on, no matter how he looks for it, he can't find it, although the content of that radio station is a little weird and inexplicable, it doesn't feel like a good thing, but it's better than listening to electromagnetic sound all day, right?

But looking at the time, it does seem a little too late. Rob put the radio back in the drawer, got up and went back to bed, and quickly fell asleep.

The night passed, and Dagang, who had just been lifted from the grounding and freed, ran to his wooden door early in the morning to knock on him.

After so many days, this door has been destroyed without knowing the severity, and it has long been dilapidated, so that Rob has to find wooden planks everywhere to repair it, and it has gradually become a messy door nailed by wooden strips, so he has to use it when it is still usable, and he is too lazy to find a new one, anyway, if he changes it with a new one, it is estimated that it will be broken again, and it will be used.

Dagang was able to go out, which meant that Rob's life was back to normal. In the morning, I went to the river to have breakfast, fed Huahua, watched Huahua and Da Gang fight, and after one man and one beast exchanged feelings, he and Da Gang ran to the place where they fought yesterday, while listening to how Da Gang was chased and killed, how he escaped here, and then sent a distress signal.

"Hmph, if it weren't for that guy with a black face controlling the strange tree vines, I wouldn't be afraid of the three of them!" Da Gang followed behind Rob and said with some indignation: "That guy's tree vine doesn't know what's going on, if it is inserted into my beast body, it will suck my energy, and it will hurt people to death." ”

"Oh, how did you get rid of it?" Rob used a twig to set aside the withered vines around him.

"Get rid of it like this!" Da Gang scratched his head: "Anyway, it's just rolling hard, or running hard, and pulling away." But if I kept sucking it, I felt powerless, so I couldn't stand it anymore. ”

Rob nodded, didn't speak, just followed the path that had been set aside to the center of the vine. To be honest, after yesterday's dissection by those researchers, there was nothing of value here, and only an empty shell remained, but he came here just to look at it curiously, and he didn't think about finding anything.

As the so-called no hope, there was no disappointment, and after turning it over and finding that there was really nothing left, the two of them left here, after all, look at the time, it was time to hand over the clothes.

This time, as usual, it was the three sisters who came over with dirty clothes, and after handing over clean clothes to him, they turned and left. After everyone left, Da just came back from hiding with a smile, and then with a 'you know' look, he grabbed a few clothes from the rattan basket and ran to cast a spell.

This kind of behavior, Rob has long been used to it, and there is nothing to say, but there are no spell materials for the past few days, and it is estimated that Dagang is also in a panic, and it takes longer than before, but fortunately, people are young, domestic demand is strong, and once a day is also a normal state, it won't be anything, anyway, he likes to shave his head, even if he is bald because of this, it doesn't matter.

When people get busy, it's easy to lose track of time, and when Rob starts to dry his clothes, it's almost lunchtime. As before, Da Gang went hunting, and when he dried his clothes, Da Gang carried a demon beast and caught a dozen fish back to the roof of the building. Next, naturally, it's time to deal with the prey and grilled fish.

As for eating, Flowey has always been very punctual, and as soon as the bonfire was lit, Flowey jumped upstairs out of nowhere, walked over with cat steps, and then squatted down near the fire, licking her tongue, waiting for a big meal.

Although there are not many people who eat, except for Rob, Dagang and Huahua have big appetites, so they have to set up two bonfires, otherwise they will be roasted on one fire, and they will be roasted until dinner.

When the meat was roasted and he started to eat, Da Gang said while eating, "Rob, I heard that you are going to have a revenge duel with the people of the Thorn Ring?"

Hearing this, Rob couldn't help but be surprised: "I only agreed to this matter yesterday, how did you know about it? Where did you get such well-informed information?"

"Hehe, I naturally have my own channels!" Da Gang had a smug expression on his face, but the next words still revealed how he found out: "When I went hunting just now, a message came from the communication card, informing you of the revenge duel with the person named Luo Teng in the Thorn Ring, and Bai Mei also invited my old man to be the referee!"

Rob took out his communication card, and the screen lit up, and there was a message notification on it, probably he didn't notice it as soon as he got busy. He clicked on it and found that except for the time agreed on it in seven days, the rest of the content was similar to what Da Gang said.

"Then Luo Teng is your enemy?" asked Da Gang.

"Hmm!" Rob nodded, he was an enemy! Anyway, he wanted to kill him, but instead of killing him, he was seriously injured by him, which was also considered a mortal enemy.

"You don't seem to be his opponent!" Dagang knew Rob's character, and he was also outspoken and fearless.

Rob couldn't help laughing: "Why do you all think I can't win? Am I that weak?"

"It's okay! Your light film is quite interesting. Da Gang said: "But you don't have demon armor and demon soldiers, and Na Luo Teng is said to be a demon soldier with five crystals! Although it is nothing in front of me, it is a strong enemy for you, right?"

Rob smiled: "It's okay, it's really troublesome, but if you really want to say who loses and who wins, it's too quick to make a conclusion now." ”

"Oh, what other tricks do you have?" Da Gang came over curiously, but soon understood that he shouldn't ask such a question, and shrank back: "I know! I believe in you! You must come on!"

"Hmm!" Rob nodded: "Sister Baimei said that she would find a teacher to help me do special training." ”

"That's it!" Da Gang had some regret on his face: "The special training is very hard, it seems that I can't come to you these days." ”
