Chapter 144: Midnight Crisis
The night fell on this desolate land for tens of thousands of years, a trace of yin wind blew from time to time, swaying the weeds that were as tall as one person, and the air was filled with a foul smell, how could such a harsh environment make Ouyang Xiu and others, who were pampered and spent drinking all day long, fall asleep.

Suddenly, a gray soul rabbit ran quickly in front of several people's eyes, and the long-nosed guard was overjoyed, threw away the steamed bun in his hand that hurt his teeth, and smiled at Ouyang Xiu: "Young master, I'll help you improve your food." ā
The other teachers are all unshaved, this guy is really good at sycophants, and while he is insulting the long-nosed guards in his heart, he is also annoyed, why didn't he think of it.
Ouyang Xiu also saw the skinny rabbit just now, and he also drank a lot of meat all day long, where can I eat the dry bun that was as hard as a stone, and immediately instructed the long-nosed guard: "Don't go far, be careful!" ā
"Yes, young master!" The long-nosed guard got Ouyang Xiu's permission and immediately got up to chase the rabbit that burrowed into the grass.
Ouyang Xiu saw that the other three guards were looking envious and long-nosed, and said with a smile: "Everyone is a member of the Ouyang family, as long as you help my Ouyang family do things wholeheartedly, I, Ouyang Xiu, will definitely not treat anyone badly." ā
The three guards sitting together heard the meaning of Ouyang Xiu's words, "As long as you do things obediently, I, Ouyang Xiu, will still reuse you!" ā
Ouyang Xiu looked at the darkness in the distance, and took out a few fist-sized glowing stones, which emitted bright fluorescent stones that illuminated the open space two or three zhang in size beside him. One of the guards was surprised, "This is a luminous stone?" ā
Ouyang Xiu was very satisfied with the reaction of the guards, this luminous stone was also exchanged from the Soul Pavilion at a large price, and with the light of the bright luminous stone, he said with a smile: "Let's all introduce ourselves, now we are also brothers who share life and death, don't treat me as a young master, we are now ordinary good brothers, brothers who are in trouble together!" ā
The guard who said the luminous stone just now was also sitting on the left side of Ouyang Xiu and said, "Young Master, my name is Qi Yun, and it has been almost thirty years since I came to Ouyang's house. ā
Ouyang Xiu nodded and said: "Brother Qi has worked hard, I didn't expect you to come to my Ouyang family for thirty years, but I don't know you, this is my dereliction of duty as a young master, here I am like you to make amends." After speaking, he really got up and bowed to Qi Yun, where did this guard named Qi Yun dare to bear his worship, you must know that Ouyang Xiu is notoriously ruthless in Luoyang City, if he really worships him, if he and the others go back alive, they don't know how to die.
After bowing to Qi Yun, Ouyang Xiu turned around and asked the guard sitting in the middle, "Who is this brother?" ā
The guard sitting in the middle hurriedly got up, bowed respectfully to Ouyang Xiu, and said, "Young Master, my name is Wang Dao, and I have only been in Ouyang's house for twenty years!" ā
Ouyang Xiu also bowed to him and thanked him for serving the Ouyang family for twenty years.
Before Ouyang Xiu could ask himself, the last remaining guard hurriedly got up and said, "Young Master, my name is Li Jian, and I have only been at Ouyang's house for more than ten years!" ā
Ouyang Xiu also bowed to him, and after asking the names of the three people, he turned his head to Qi Yun and said, "Brother Qi, do you know the guard who went to catch rabbits just now?" ā
Qi Yun shook his head and said, "Young Master, have you forgotten that the Ouyang family has clear family rules, and no warrior guards are allowed to get acquainted with each other in private. ā
"Oh, look at my head, I am frightened by this thundercloud swamp, it's my fault, I will definitely make a statement to my ancestor when I go back, and change this old family rule." Ouyang Xiu patted his head and smiled awkwardly.
Ouyang Xiu was very satisfied with Qi Yun's answer, from now on, it seemed that the four guards did not know each other, and instantly admired the ancestor, now that these four people did not know each other, it was more conducive to their own control, in this dangerous thundercloud swamp, it was more strength for one person.
After a long while, the long-nosed guard came back with a body full of mud, still holding a fat rabbit in his hand, and walked over with a smile and said, "The young master is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ā
Ouyang Xiu didn't immediately take the rabbit in his hand, but stood up, bowed and asked, "What's the name of the brother?" How many years have you been practicing in the Ouyang family? ā
Ouyang Xiu's series of actions frightened Long Nose, Long Nose hurriedly threw away the rabbit in his hand, knelt down and said: "The young master's name is Tian Guang, and it has been more than twenty years since he came to Ouyang's house, I don't know what I did wrong, and I let the young master behave like this." ā
"Tian Guang, young master, I'm just asking, now that we are in this desperate situation where we have never survived, I just think we need to be more united, you haven't done anything wrong." Ouyang Xiu smiled slightly, and gave a reassuring pill to the long-nosed guard.
The long-nosed guard listened to him just asking about his own situation, and then calmed down, picked up the rabbit that had just been thrown away, and said with a smile: "Young master, I'm going to help you barbecue the rabbit, you wait a while!" ā
Soon Tian Guang set up a fire with the help of several other guards, and washed the rabbit with the water he carried, and after a while, the fat rabbit was roasted by the burning fire squeaked, and for a while the fragrance of the barbecue permeated the air, looking at the golden rabbit, including Ouyang Xiu, several people spit a few mouthfuls of foam.
Just when Tian Guang was roasting the rabbit, the guards also told him their names to each other, and they knew each other.
The rabbit was quickly tested, Tian Guang took the lead in tearing off a fat rabbit leg and handed it to Ouyang Xiu, Ouyang Xiu did not postpone it, although he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but was there anything more delicious on the desolate swamp in front of him than this golden oily rabbit leg, just about to bite the rabbit leg, he felt that the four people around him were looking at him, and then smiled and said: "You can divide the rest!" ā
What could be better at this time than the phrase "You are left to divide it", no! The four of them rushed up and quickly separated the still shiny rabbit.
However, just as these people were biting the rabbit meat with relish, danger was quietly coming.
The smell of the barbecued rabbit not only seduced the taste of the four people in front of them, but also the interest of the terrifying creatures in the swamp. Just as they were eating the freshly roasted rabbit meat with relish, countless swamp soul beasts also came around.
Ouyang Xiu took a bite of the fragrant rabbit leg, raised his head and looked at a few luminous stones while chewing, to know that the luminous stones he had spent countless treasures in exchange were originally intended to please the most beloved concubine, but which concubine had now been killed by the ancestor himself, for a while Ouyang Xiu felt a little sad and sad in his heart, thinking of the fragrance of the little concubine writhing on his body, he suddenly felt that it was his happiest moment.
Looking at the stone that was glowing brightly, he suddenly saw that there were countless bright spots in the darkness not far from the luminous stone, and in that dark night, that little bit of faint green light was like countless bright lights staring at his group of people.
Ouyang Xiu stood up, threw away the rabbit leg in his hand, and slowly walked over with the fairy sword, and the four guards who had eaten Zhengxiang saw Ouyang Xiu stand up, threw away the rabbit leg in his hand, and sacrificed the fairy sword, and quickly stood up.
Tian Guang still asked stupidly: "Young master, is it that I bake it badly?" ā
"Void!"
Ouyang Xiu lightly issued a warning, motioning for them to take out their weapons, and then slowly walked towards the glow-in-the-dark stones.
Following the direction Ouyang Xiu walked, the four of them took a cold breath, what was the matter with the countless green dots around them?
Before they could come back to their senses, they only heard Ouyang Xiu say loudly: "Form a circle and prepare to fight!" ā
At the moment when he shouted steel, the countless green dots swarmed in, and it was only then that they could see clearly what the countless green dots were by the light of the fire.
"Soul crocodile!"
A giant beast with extremely thick leather armor and unusually sharp teeth, a fierce soul beast that sleeps all year round.
Ouyang Xiu quickly stepped back and stood with the four people who were overly frightened, and quickly formed a circle.
Qi Yun panicked: "Young Master, how can there be so many soul crocodiles, we didn't provoke them." ā
"They must have been awakened by the smell of our roasted rabbit just now, or they would still be asleep! Blame me for being careless, I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful creature in this thundercloud swamp! "Ouyang Xiu regrets it now, he blames it for directly coveting the momentary pleasure, forgetting that this is a thundercloud swamp with dangerous clusters, and now Lin Feng didn't find it, but he might have been eaten by this group of soul crocodiles first.
Seeing that there were more and more soul crocodiles, and gradually surrounded the five of them in a circle, Ouyang Xiu said loudly: "Brothers, kill out!" He took the lead in throwing out a few brilliant sword rays and shooting at the soul crocodile who was looking at him coldly.
For a while, the five of them each cast their own spells, desperately slaying those cold beasts in this dark night!
