Chapter 19: Infiltrating the Top
Hua Jiuxi felt that his brain was clear for a while, and it turned out that Zhu Shi's pure demonic power was injected into it. Laxmi saw that there was a red nine-tailed fox pattern on his forehead in an instant, and he was busy touching himself.
"Do you hear me?" A woman's voice rang out in their minds at the same time, but there was no so-called air vibration.
This is Zhu Shi speaking directly in their heads. Isn't this brain control, Hua Jiuxi's heart is a little unhappy.
"Brother, don't think too much, even with my demonic power, I can't always see into your subtle thoughts. Fang Cai was too angry, and I knew that you were resentful of me. Zhu Shi said this in his heart.
Hua Jiuxi also wanted to imitate the other party and communicate directly with his heart, but the other party obviously didn't receive it - because Hua Jiuxi's cultivation was too low, this communication could only be one-way.
"Whatever you want to tell me, just ask me directly. Of course, don't let people find out. Zhu Shi smiled, this time with his mouth.
"Good, we still need something...... The first is enough food. The second is the invisibility cloak that can carry out stealth activities, and then the most important thing is a map of the interior of Shaoguang City. Hua Jiuxi said, "The accuracy of the map is higher!" ”
Zhu Shi nodded: "These can be purchased in front of you, come with me." ”
In a blink of an eye, the three of them came to a place that resembled a military warehouse, and the shape of this warehouse was a huge tortoise shell, and the entrance was the neck cavity of the tortoise shell. Several men in chain mail (apparently fox fairies too), armed with old-fashioned muskets, wander outside.
Seeing that Zhu Shi was leading two humans to come, a young guard immediately stepped forward and drew a handprint on Zhu Shi, and Hua Jiuxi knew that this was a way of saluting within the fox fairy. Zhu Shi whispered to the guard, he swept the two of them with his peripheral vision, and then let them go.
"You have to travel lightly, or you can't run fast. I've given you the best. Zhu Shi opened the door and saw at a glance the countless wooden boxes that were piled up to the ceiling. Zhu Shi rolled up his sleeves, revealing a snow-white wrist, and went to move one of the white jade boxes.
"I'll do it." How can Hua Jiuxi let a woman do manual work and get busy stepping forward to help.
"Don't move!" Zhu Shi's expression was suddenly stern, but unfortunately he still didn't have time to stop Hua Jiuxi.
The box was biting, and seeing that he immediately turned out a big mouth, a row of sharp teeth hung a little flesh and blood on Hua Jiuxi - fortunately, he flashed quite quickly.
"It hurts-" Hua Jiuxi hurriedly covered her wound and sprinkled around the house like a child. Zhu Shi said "oops" a few times: "I can't see it, you still have such a lively side." Both women laughed at him.
Hua Jiuxi said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm fainting from blood—but only my own." His eyes were closed now, and before he knew it, someone was bandaging him. The movement was light and gentle, naturally Laxmi's technique, and when the bleeding stopped, he saw Laxmi looking at him affectionately. Zhu Shi saw that he was okay and continued to move the box: "Child, you have to plan and plan when fighting the enemy, and you must also be cautious when you meet acquaintances - because any friend can be turned into an enemy, because of the existence of interests, anyone close to you can be detrimental to you......"
Hua Jiuxi nodded: "You are right." Why did Zhu Shi suddenly say such a thing, did she have any motives?
Zhu Shi was happy when he heard it: "You are persuaded to do so, and it will be annoying to change to other juniors for a long time - give." She patted the white jade box, and her lips moved, of course, chanting a mantra. The box began to vomit, spitting out something that was egg-shaped, crystal clear.
"You can try it." Zhu Shi held the pile of things and handed them to Laxmi first, "Sister eat first-"
Laxmi carefully picked one up and took a bite. The taste is not as crisp as imagined, but soft and with a hint of coolness. She ate the rest in one bite, her mind was refreshed, and her stomach was no longer hungry.
Hua Jiuxi didn't wait for her to let go, and also took one and ate it herself. After eating, he asked, "What fruit?" ”
"It's not fruit, it's grains of rice."
The two immediately knew that there was a legend that in ancient times, rice grains were the size of eggs. It's true.
There were many other off-colored fruits in the box.
"Come on, eat more. Some of them can strengthen the body, some can dispel evil spirits, and some will not sink when they eat water...... There are many dangers that you will encounter in the future. ”
Hua Jiuxi ate more than a dozen fruits in a row, and he couldn't eat them anymore. Zhu Shi asked Laxmi to bring some in case she needed it.
"Brother, you want the peather." Zhu Shi came over with two pieces of black fabric, and Hua Jiuxi took it - he couldn't feel any weight.
"It's like scales on it." Laxmi touched it and said.
"Sister, you can actually see - these two things are precious, do you know that there is a space in the world called 'Shadow Sea'? The creatures of that place lived in two-dimensional shadows, and the clothes were stripped from one of the creatures that looked like dragons and catfish. ”
"Wearing them, you can walk like a shadow on the wall. Then, he can sneak into the shadow of the enemy and be carried around by him. We only have seven of them here, and if this catastrophe can be resolved satisfactorily right now, I'll give it to both of you! ”
"Hey, sister, you're so generous." Hua Jiuxi said.
"That's natural, there will be no loss if you follow my sister." Zhu Shi was smug for a while, "I'll give you one last map." ”
The map Zhu Shi brought this time didn't look very new, just the skin of an unknown creature. Hua Jiuxi and Laxmi spread it out—there was no word, except for a large, rotating eye in the center of the map.
"You can name a place casually, such as Shaoguang City." Zhu Shi prompted.
"Shaoguangcheng."
Just look at the tears in these eyes, the tears are a dark blue similar to the pen water. Tears flowed silently from the eyes, and the shape of Shaoguang City was automatically generated, and the place names were marked with "Wuwen".
Both of them knew the script well, and they had pronounced several place names in succession—the eye always recycled the tears before generating a new map. Hua Jiuxi was relieved for a while, and said to Zhu Shi: "Hehe, I was originally a lion with a big mouth, but I didn't expect it to be far beyond expectations." ”
"Well, time is limited, brother, you don't want to flatter. Now let's change into your clothes and bring your luggage and weapons. I'm going to airdrop you—" Zhu Shi shouted
Hua Jiuxi went outside alone and changed into the panther clothes. This thing is really tight to the flesh, although it is very comfortable, but he is still embarrassed to wear it.
Several soldiers around him were also laughing at him, and Hua Jiuxi knocked on the door with a red face - seeing Laxmi also change into that kind of black clothes, he was shocked to see him.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked him.
"It's a little breathless to wear...... Sister, you said airdrop, what airdrop to take? "Quickly divert your attention.
"You see, the sun flying outside." Zhu Shi said, "Originally, their attendance was in order, but now everyone is in the war, and no one cares about this, so they go out for ten days, and it's too hot outside." I'm going to go to the console right now and get one of them off work. ”
"All the little suns rise from the spring room in the four regions, and they also set there, and the foothold is a big tree. I'll put you two in the sun, and you'll follow the sun into the spring chamber - and from the spring chamber into the central district, and I'll keep in touch with you! Don't worry, if something happens, my sister will do her best to save you! ”
On the way to the Sun Control Console, Laxmi whispered to Hua Jiuxi, "This Sister Zhu Shi is really good. ”
"Routines, they're all routines. They are fox fairies, they are the best at charming, how do you like them, how to come, may not be really good to you. ”
The so-called console is located in a small courtyard-style building. Zhu Shi "squeaked" the red gate with a pair of copper lion knockers, and the courtyard was dim and dark, and it was impossible to see clearly. According to Zhu Shi, the few little foxes who were on duty here all participated in the war as logistics, so they were basically in a semi-deserted state.
"There's no defense...... Hua Jiuxi looked at the surrounding environment and said, "What if a thief gets in and steals something, and you don't have two wolf dogs on a leash......"
"Foxes are afraid of dogs." Zhu Shi knew that he was deliberately teasing, "Well, of course, a high-level monster like me is not afraid." Speaking of which, there is really nothing of value in this house, neither gold, silver and copper coins, nor magic weapons. ”
Hua Jiuxi yawned a few times in a row, probably because the turbid air in the room infected him. The three of them walked deeper and deeper, and they came to a very secluded compartment in the middle of the temple. There are large cabinets in the shape of a pharmacy or a pawnshop. These things are red and black, and the style of the patterns on them seems to be from the Han Dynasty.
"Well, these are the instruments of the console. Children don't mess around. Zhu Shi said.
"Of course, sister, you said it to Xiaohua alone." Laxmi laughed.
Zhu Shi replied lazily: "Of course." Then he opened one of the cabinets, and Hua Jiuxi and Laxmi saw the extremely complicated wiring and some glittering gauges inside. These instruments seem to be more sophisticated than any human product.
Laxmi's curiosity was already extremely hot, but he was afraid of Zhu Shi's accusations, so he stood aside and looked at it.
"Sister, I can't answer your question...... Zhu Shi had already guessed her thoughts, "I can use this thing, but—I don't know how it's made or how it works." These were brought by the old gods in the early years. ”
"The Old Gods—is it the Queen Mother of the West?" Laxmi asked.
"Nope. It's a greater, more powerful God that we can't name. Zhu Shi said, "She mentioned it to me a few times when she was there, but it was so hazy that I don't know exactly - the orbit of the sun has been changed to this vicinity, let's go to the courtyard to have a look!" Zhu Shi diverted the topic.
Hua Jiuxi was glad for a while, and there was no lengthy conversation between the two women. He was the first to walk into the courtyard, but instead of feeling the scorching heat he had expected—the coolness of the afternoon when the temperature was rapidly eroding.
A large orange-red ball hung in the center of the yard, and a few bare trees of unknown nature served as its foil. The surface of this large sphere appears to be a gelatinous structure, and it is pitted, and the further you get to the center, the more transparent its color becomes.
"This is the sun? No three-legged crows? Hua Jiuxi asked.
"That's a different kind of sun." Zhu Shi waved his hand and said, "The one in front of us is actually a spherical organism, which itself can emit strong light and high heat. You two are going to get into its belly now. ”
"Drill?" Hua Jiuxi was puzzled for a while.
Zhu Shi immediately showed him how her slender right hand effortlessly "drilled" into Xiao Sun's body.
"The membranes on its surface can be selectively penetrated, and I just gave it the order to 'allow humans to enter'. So, you two can get in. Zhu Shi explained.
Changing his previous caution, Hua Jiuxi actually didn't wait for Zhu Shi to follow, and then drilled into the sun's body. I just felt that its skin was sticky, like syrup. His head struggled a few times, and then he fell in.
When I turned around and touched my top again, I didn't stick to the organization of this monster. Although there are no organs inside the "sun", the space is still relatively cramped. After a while, Laxmi slowly stepped in.
"Okay, are you two ready?" Zhu Shi said loudly outside.
"That's it!" The two men replied in unison.
Hua Jiuxi touched the box and bag again, and said that it was no problem. As for Lakshmi, her surname Li naturally let Hua Jiuxi take it.
"It's going to be launched, three... Two... One, take to the skies! Zhu Shi's voice was overtaken in an instant, and there was a violent tremor. Hua Jiuxi and Laxmi were suddenly in a state of weightlessness, and Laxmi had to grab Hua Jiuxi's not too thick arm.
Hua Jiuxi felt that it was natural for Hua Jiuxi to change in this situation: he tried to wrap his arms around Lakshmi's waist, and the other party was somewhat surprised at first, but he didn't resist. She asked Hua Jiuxi gently: "I don't know how long this sun will fly......
"Shaoguang City is very big, but I never thought that the speed of this thing would be so fast." Hua Jiuxi looked through the sun's translucent skin at the buildings that looked like small mounds of earth under his feet.
The way the little sun works is to reach the sky first, and then slowly descend to the designated place. The two people inside it did not feel uncomfortable due to air pressure and other factors, and it seemed that the creature could support a stable environment inside.
Hua Jiuxi took out the map, and the ink immediately drew the huge zigzag structure of Shaoguang City, and there were two small red dots on the east side moving extremely fast—naturally the two of them.
"Well, at this distance, we'll be there in about an hour. It's like taking a tram...... "Hua Jiuxi said.
"The tram doesn't have to sit just two people, let's take the cable car." "Speaking of which, I haven't looked closely at the scenery anywhere since this adventure began. ”
"What's so beautiful about the scenery...... Hua Jiuxi objected in a very weak voice, "Everyone, monsters, all kinds of events that happen between them, that's the most interesting." ”
Hearing him say this, Laxmi recalled the strangeness along the way, and smiled sweetly: "You're right! At this time, the process of the sun rising has become uniform, Hua Jiuxi has been a little tired since just now, and the air around him is hot, so he is about to fall asleep.
