Chapter 195: The night is dark and the wind is high
The corners of Li Qi's mouth twitched slightly, his forehead sweated like rain, and he had always maintained an unfathomable image of a strong man who was instantly broken by the sweet and greasy "Dad" of Mushroom.
Han Zisu, and even Han Yi, who was healing Yumin on the side, looked at Li Qi with strange eyes, and the atmosphere was so quiet that it was a little embarrassing.
"Yo yo, it turns out that Brother Da Ke already has such a big daughter, amazing!" Han Yi gave a thumbs up, admired, and then smiled, "Brother Da Ke, I didn't say what I said just now." ”
What is there to admire? Li Qi was speechless for a moment.
"No, no, no, it's not what you think, Mushroom She's not my daughter......" Li Qi explained, shaking his hand repeatedly.
"Daddy!" Mushroom called sweetly at this time.
"Forehead......" Li Qi suddenly panicked, and wanted to say that Mushroom was his sister, but he couldn't say anything, and his shaking palms froze in the air.
Because he saw Han Zisu and Han Yi's faces were strange, and their eyes looked at him with deep disdain and contempt.
At that moment, Li Qi clearly interpreted from these two disdainful glances that the two of them had opinions and misunderstandings about him, as if they were saying: Heh, you irresponsible scumbag, you have a wife, but you abandoned your wife and refused to recognize your daughter, phew!
Of course, this is just Li Qi's brain supplement, and the real thoughts are only known to Han Yi and Han Zisu themselves.
Mushroom tilted his little head, staring at Li Qi with big watery eyes, such a cute and ignorant appearance, like a newborn kitten.
Eh! Cute Daddy's Heart! Such a lovely daughter, she doesn't recognize it, vainly to her ancestors, her ancestors, and her vain to the sky! Li Qi suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled, and let out bursts of low laughter.
Li Qi coughed lightly a few times, and pretended to be calm: "Ahem, let the two of you see the joke, she is indeed not my daughter......" Then he paused, and said in a deep voice: "But it is my heart and liver baby, the pearl in the palm!"
Li Qi's words that he thought were warm and heartwarming sounded very greasy to Han Zisu and the others, making them feel a little uncomfortable.
"Come on, my darling, throw yourself into Daddy's arms and be spoiled!" Richie suddenly shouted, waved his arms, spread his hands, and his cloak flew with it, revealing a chest as wide as the sea.
However, Mushroom still stood in the distance and looked at Li Qi with a confused expression, tilting his little head and blinking his big bright eyes.
In the next moment, the air became unusually quiet, and an awkward aura filled the surroundings.
It was as if he could hear a crow screaming and flying over his head.
Han Zisu and Han Yi looked at Li Qi who had maintained an open arms posture for nearly half a minute, their eyebrows twitched slightly, and an embarrassed smile hung on the corner of their mouths.
Wow, so shameless? Richie wailed in his heart, and at the moment he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground, and like an ostrich, he plunged his face red with shame into the hole. But he was too worried, he was wearing a mask at the moment, and others couldn't see his appearance and expression clearly.
Dig your own pit and jump for yourself! Li Qi couldn't cry or laugh.
"Brother Dake, you're pretty ...... Humorous ha. Han Yi touched the back of his head and said with a sneer.
"Ahem! I was just joking. Li Qi lowered his arms, pretended to be nothing, coughed lightly, quickly turned around, and said lightly: "Okay, let's hurry up and get on the road." Mushroom, you follow us!" With that, Li Qi picked up the cloak on the ground, put it on his body, and hurried away, muttering as he walked: What's the matter with this mushroom? Why did you suddenly call me dad when you were so scared of me before?
"Senior Li, I'll lead the way for you. Han Zisu came back to his senses, hurriedly shouted, glanced at the mushrooms following behind him, and then ran forward.
The three of them galloped, Han Zisu led the way in front, and Li Qi and Mushroom followed behind.
Due to the embarrassment that happened just now, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and the two of them tacitly agreed not to speak until now.
"Senior Li, didn't you worry about her safety when you brought your daughter to such a vicious place?" Han Zisu asked suddenly.
"Oh, don't worry, I'll protect her, and my daughter also has the strength to protect herself, so I don't worry too much about this. What's more, if you want to become a strong person who can stand alone, you need to constantly hone yourself through practice, and the flowers cultivated in the greenhouse all day long, even if they are beautiful, are only in vain, so I took my daughter out to experience it and let her experience it!"
"Senior Li is so right, Zi Su admires! Zi Su can feel your concern for your daughter!" Han Zisu nodded in agreement, and then said: "Actually, my brother and I followed the clan to find the elixir this time, and we also wanted to experience the feeling of experience and increase the experience of actual combat with foreign beasts. ”
"But I remember you mentioned just now that the purpose of your trip is to find medicine, so can you tell me about the elixir you want to find?" Li Qihu looked at Han Zisu suspiciously and asked.
Seeing Han Zisu purse his lips, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Li Qi hurriedly explained: "Oh, I'm sorry, I just want to understand the reason, and I want to find out if the elixir they need has offended the blue-eyed king snake and made it rage." ”
Han Zisu hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "Actually, there are two kinds of elixirs we are looking for this time, one is called the marrow heart washing vine, and the other is called Biluo Poison Scale. We weren't familiar with this place, so we hired a mercenary group to lead the way for us, because we received news that the blue-eyed king snake has a penchant for collecting medicinal treasures, so we might be able to find the marrow heart wash vine we need, and the scales shed by the blue-eyed king snake are the blue poison scales we are looking for. So we found the blue-eyed king snake through the locals and communicated with it, and we expressed that we could exchange it for the equivalent of the elixir treasure, but as soon as we opened our mouths, the blue-eyed king snake flatly refused, and it drove us all out of its territory. We didn't give up, and as we were about to communicate again, the blue-eyed king snake suddenly went berserk and rushed out of its territory and launched a fierce attack on us. Due to the rampage of the blue-eyed king snake, it also caused the restlessness of the nearby beasts, which made our casualties more and more heavy, and even some nearby villages were destroyed, and the villagers fled with their families. In the end, only me and Yumin escaped under the protection of Uncle Yi all the way, and the rest of the clansmen and mercenary groups have not yet escaped from the predicament, and are still fighting with the blue-eyed king snake. ”
Han Zisu told all the general situation, and Li Qi also fell into thought.
Two elixirs, communication and exchange, mercenary groups, and the docile blue snake going berserk. These key words kept flashing in Richie's mind, and he felt that there should be a reason for the blue snake to run wild here.
"It stands to reason that the Blue-Eyed King Snake has a docile personality, and if it doesn't offend it, it won't take the initiative to attack humans. And you are exchanging items through communication, which shouldn't cause much conflict, why is it so angry? Could it be that the elixir you asked for is very important to it, so it offends its scales?" asked Richie.
"We've also thought about this layer, but it's not the case, the marrow heart wash vine we need is a human warrior who specializes in treating damaged meridians, and this elixir is not too important for the blue-eyed king snake. And the other is the Biluo scale, which is a peculiar scale on its abdomen, which can be replaced once every five years, which can detoxify all kinds of poisons, which may be an important thing for it, but it is not to the point of going berserk, not to mention that we promise to have an equivalent item in exchange!" Han Zisu muttered.
"That's weird. Li Qi pursed his lips and groaned, "Hmm...... What about the mercenary group? Could it be that they have some purpose to deceive and provoke the blue-eyed king snake?"
"It doesn't do them any good to anger the Blue-Eyed King Snake, their regiment has killed and injured more than 100 people because of its fierce attacks, and their deputy commander has even died because of it, unless the Blue-Eyed King Snake has something they want so much, and they don't even hesitate to face the Blue Eye King Snake head-on and pay a heavy consideration to get what they want. ”
"But this is really unwise, such a face-to-face direct confrontation with a fourth-order intermediate beast, not to mention a mercenary group of more than a hundred people, even a mercenary corps of thousands of people will not dare to resist? Richie shook his head.
So what was it that provoked the Blue-Eyed King Snake? Li Qi pondered, he thought that if he knew why, it would be best if he could appease the anger of the Blue-Eyed King Snake without having to fight.
After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't have a clue, so Li Qi gave up, anyway, when he arrived at the battlefield, he could get more information.
"By the way, you urgently need the marrow heart to wash the vines and the scales, could it be that someone in your Han family has damaged and poisoned the meridians and needs to be treated?" Li Qi asked casually.
"Hmm...... In fact, it's not all used to heal the clansmen......" Han Zisu replied softly.
"Your brother has been poisoned by snakes, and he really needs this blue scale to detoxify. Richie nodded.
"Well, there is an important person in the family who is also poisonous, and this trip is to find Biluo scales for him to help him detoxify. ”
"I'm also an important figure in the healing family. Li Qi said with a match.
When Han Zisu heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes revealed a complicated gaze, there were resentments and worries, but more tenderness, she said softly: "No, he is not a member of the family, but it is more important......"
......
The waning moon hung high, and under the reflection of the miserable white moonlight, an embarrassed figure rolled out of the bushes, it was a middle-aged man with a thin figure, he was lying on his back on the ground, panting, but he didn't rest for half a moment, and immediately picked up a palm-sized jade box next to him, and ran away.
But he hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly saw an armored off-road vehicle parked in front of him, and next to the car stood four muscular hunk men in camouflage uniforms, their thick arms folded in front of their chests, staring at him fiercely.
Especially the bald man in the middle, the bald head reflected the silver light that made the thin man feel frightened, and the momentum was violent.
"You are from the mercenary group?!" the emaciated man shouted in horror, clutching the jade box in his arms.
"Hmph, what mercenary group, we have a name, okay, wolf tooth mercenary group, you can remember. The bald man sneered.
"What are you trying to do with me?" the emaciated man stared at them warily with a frightened face.
"What do you think we're going to do?" said with a dark smile, "What about you, translator, that you sneaked up on this place?"
The emaciated man didn't dare to answer, peeking at the dense forest around him, ready to flee at any moment.
"Translator, you actually took advantage of the chaos of our wolf tooth corps to sneak into the cave of the blue-eyed king snake, and secretly escaped with a jade box? Do you use our wolf tooth corps as a shield or as a gunman?"
