Chapter 46: The road ahead is bumpy
Being made such a fuss, Cao Tianyun was really out of luck, he originally thought that those evil beasts did not come to this monkey group, because he did not encounter them when he entered. Now it seems that the entire Hundred Beast Forest has been controlled, and people can easily walk in, but it will be even more difficult to go out again.
However, Cao Tianyun is not a person who waits for death, and now he has to solve the dog first, and he can't let the dog affect him anymore. Just thinking about it, the dog pounced again, Cao Tianyun shouted with a long sword in his hand, and stared at the dog that pounced intently.
This concentration also made everything in the line of sight seem to be still, the dog that pounced seemed to be frozen in the air, Cao Tianyun clenched the long sword in his hand, and walked in front of the dog with an arrow, and the distance between them did not make Cao Tianyun afraid at all. I saw Cao Tianyun attack the dog a few times like chopping vegetables and then stopped.
Although this scene seems to be very long in Cao Tianyun's eyes, it is different for foreign objects. The dog pounced in an instant, but before he could come back to his senses, his body was already in pieces. The flowers and plants on the dog's body did not react, and when the dog died, they quickly absorbed the nutrients, so that they could grow and not die.
"It's really a biological instinct. Cao Tianyun looked at those flowers and plants and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, how can there be any symbiosis in the biological world, it is just to use each other, once there is no use value, it is time to fend for yourself.
Now Cao Tianyun should be worried about himself, because he can't distinguish between southeast and northwest at all, and there is no compass in this world, so Cao Tianyun's current situation is no different from that of a blind man.
"Report!" a man on horseback rushed to the gate of the city lord's mansion in the darkness of the night, and then ran inside.
At this time, Jiang Fuqing was still lighting the lamp in the hall and looking at the books, next to Jiang Qiufang. Jiang Fuqing had already promised Jiu Wentian to accompany Jiang Qiufang more, so after dinner tonight, he specially called Jiang Qiufang over, but before he could say a few words, such a messenger came.
The messenger said to Jiang Fuqing: "Lord City, there seems to be something going on in the Hundred Beast Forest, and the chief of the guard there asked me to hand over this letter to you, please take a look." ”
Jiang Fuqing nodded, and then took the letter and looked at it, generally this kind of thing is some confidential or to be hidden, please tell Jiang Fuqing before you know what to do next.
The content of the letter is roughly like this: Recently, something strange happened in the Hundred Beast Forest, at first only one or two people said that they entered the Hundred Beast Forest and did not come back, originally I thought that they were staying in the Hundred Beast Forest, or there was some accident, so that those people could wait and maybe they would come back after a while. I've always followed your rule that you don't go into the mountains without flares, but I haven't seen any hunters fire flares.
But then more and more people disappeared, so that the villages around the Hundred Beast Forest were left without men, and I was thinking about whether to go into the mountains to search for them these days, I was afraid that it was the evil beasts in the inner perimeter. However, I did not publicize the matter, and two people entered the mountain today, and they have not yet come out. As of now, there are nearly twenty people who have disappeared, so please ask the lord of the castle for instructions.
After reading it, Jiang Fuqing thought about it with a solemn face, and then said: "I know, I've worked hard for you along the way, go have a cup of tea, and I'll leave the rest to me." ”
"Thank you, Lord Castle. "The messenger's task is only to deliver the word, and when the word is delivered, the task is completed, and he can go to rest.
Jiang Qiufang was also worried about what was going on, so he hurriedly asked, "Dad, is something wrong?"
"Well," Jiang Fuqing nodded, sat there with a frown and drank a glass of wine, and said, "There may be some small trouble, I'm going to see it myself, you can stay here." Go to bed early at night, don't worry me, and you're not too young, it's time to find a family affair. Wentian already has a marriage contract, and you should know your reputation as a girl. ”
Jiang Qiufang said with some indignation when he heard this: "Dad, you also know that I am not young, and I don't want to get married and have children like those ordinary people, why don't you respect my opinion?"
Jiang Fuqing slapped the table solemnly and said: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that you are superior to others? Aren't you an ordinary person? What is wrong with living a stable life? Is it true that standing on the tip of a knife every day and eating this life without a meal will suit you? You and Wen Tian are not people of the same road at all, I admit that he is a good boy, but he is not a good husband!"
"Dad," Jiang Qiufang's eyes no longer have the same light as before, Jiang Fuqing was her hero in the past, but now Jiang Fuqing is her enemy, she whispered with tears in her eyes: "This is the last time I call you, you don't care about me at all, just like you never cared about my mother! Do you know that she washes her face with tears every day, looking forward to you letting go of the so-called things to accompany us! You said that Jiu Wentian will not be a good husband, then you are?" At least I can talk to him after my training at noon every day, but what about you?!
With that, Jiang Qiufang ran out, leaving only her tears and a trace of the fragrance on her body. Jiang Fuqing was not moved, but looked at Jiang Qiufang's distant back with a heavy face and said nothing. After Jiang Qiufang ran out of the city lord's mansion, Jiang Fuqing also slowly left, and Jiang Fuqing, who came to the stable, picked a horse and found that there was a horse missing, but he didn't say anything.
Jiang Fuqing, who was riding on a horse, came to the door of the City Lord's Mansion and said to those guards: "Find Coach Ye and ask him to bring fifty masters to the Hundred Beast Forest, be quick." ”
After saying that, Jiang Fuqing left in a hurry, is there more than fifty people? Maybe not much, because the evil beasts in the Hundred Beast Forest are not the kind of kittens that can only lick their paws, they are very terrible things. This time, he just wanted to investigate the situation in the Hundred Beast Forest and the missing people, and he didn't want to go to war directly, but what Jiang Fuqing didn't know was that what was waiting for him was a nightmare.
Jiu Wentian looked at these tree spirits in front of him, and said with some pressure: "There are too many of these tree spirits, I'm afraid we won't be able to kill them at all." ”
Nian Siqi said: "Don't worry about those things, the best and fastest way to kill a plant is to burn it with fire, so that it will not have the possibility of regeneration." ”
"You can't turn into a dragon body now, you can't use it here at all, or I'll use my words, so it's better to say something. As he spoke, Jiu Wentian was ready to take out his own pen and paper from the white jade to write his words. didn't think about it, but was stopped by Nian Siqi, only to see Nian Siqi smile and said: "You are not the only one who has grown in the past ten years, let you see my achievements in the past ten years." ”
"Long Yan!" After holding back a big breath, Nian Siqi directly spewed out a flame from his mouth, this flame directly ignited the tree and tree spirit in front of him, and this is a level three external fire, it is also a good choice to use it for alchemy. Jiu Wentian sometimes regrets why he didn't collect some at that time.
Then Nian Siqi came again, and before he finished cleaning up, he saw that those tree spirits were running faster than anyone else, and Jiu Wentian took out the alchemy furnace in the white jade here and said, "You spit out some fire in here, I just want to collect some." ”
Nian Siqi looked at Jiu Wentian a little speechlessly, and then said, "You have such a good alchemy furnace, don't you even have a fire?"
"Don't mention it, the One Qi Tranquility Pill ten years ago was all refined by me with wood, if it weren't for the fact that this alchemy was too powerful, I would not even be able to refine the five grades. Jiu Wentian said after a long sigh.
Nian Siqi reluctantly spat out a mouthful of flame towards the alchemy furnace, and this alchemy furnace also immediately absorbed this flame, and then the color of the alchemy furnace began to change, and the alchemy furnace that was originally yellow turned red at this time. Jiu Wentian said with emotion: "I didn't expect that this alchemy furnace also has a level, the better this fire, the higher the level." ”
"I've heard the patriarch mention that the alchemy furnace also has a quality, and a quality like this is already a priceless treasure, and it can also distinguish the level of fire, which is worthy of an ancient artifact. Nian Siqi said: "Okay, let's continue to hurry, otherwise it will be over when the spirit fails." ”
After picking up a leftover wooden stick from the ground, Jiu Wentian took out some alcohol cloth from the white jade and rolled it on, making a suggested small torch. He lit a torch and handed it to Nian Siqi, then took another torch and lit it himself. Then Jiu Wentian said, "Where are we going? Why do I feel a little sleepy?"
"That's the difference between us and the plants," says Nian Siqi, "Most of the plants here don't sleep, and even if we're asleep, we don't know it, which gives the plants the possibility of attacking us." So we can't sleep, we have to finish the task while we are still mentally ready, and I think both of my people have suffered because of this. ”
Jiu Wentian thought about it, but it reminded him of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" he played in his last life. Jiu Wentian said: "I think these plants are not attacking us now, are you giving up?"
Nian Siqi shook his head and said, "I think we should be let into the inner circle, where there will be more powerful characters waiting for us, because these little minions can't hurt us at all, and that evil beast should also know." ”
"I think we should keep a low profile, you see the black you just burned, someone will definitely find out. Jiu Wentian said.
Nian Siqi replied: "Isn't this low-key? Think about the time when we were in Shenzhou, you fought against the dictatorship alone, and I became a dragon, compared to that time, it is now very low-key. ”
