Chapter 69: The Sunset Moon and the Human Skin Lantern

"My pet is too big!" Cheng Susu shouted, "Why does it always follow me?" ”

The mountain-piercing divine beast, since the first time she saw Cheng Susu, she recognized her as her mother, and wherever Cheng Susu went, the divine beast followed, even when Su Su wanted to be convenient. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, with the help of Shangguan Tong'er, who is proficient in various animal languages, Cheng Susu began to slowly learn to communicate with the mountain beasts.

"How can there be a child who doesn't follow his mother! Give your big baby a name! Ding Xiaoyu chuckled. Ding Xiaoyu, Xiyue and Cheng Susu had already sat on the back of the mountain-piercing beast and followed the team, so comfortable. "****" Zhao Du still led the group of black donkeys to carry the supplies and followed behind the back of the divine beast. Si Ran and Mona stayed in the carriage, directly in front of the divine beast. The smooth road still led the way, and the magic car that was more and less driven followed him. The dogs lined up on either side of the line, constantly running and playing.

"Isn't this a pangolin?" Cheng Susu said, "Let's call it Xiao Wear!" ”

"Good name!" Ding Xiaoyu hurriedly shouted flatteringly, but Xiyue looked into the distance with a smile and a word.

Xiyue and his party continued to walk along a country road in the direction of the Dragon King Temple. Spring in the south comes much earlier, and the willow trees in the countryside are already full of green. Birds frolic in the green grass by the roadside.

But Xiyue noticed that the cultivated land on both sides of the country road was all deserted, and it was the busy season for spring ploughing, but the fields were depressed.

Further east, there is a large citrus grove that has been burned out. There is a village on the edge of the citrus grove, which is also in a dilapidated state. The air was filled with a choking smell of smoke.

"Could it be that even the Snake King has already suffered an accident?"

As the procession advanced in the direction of the Dragon King Temple, everyone's faces became more and more serious, and their brows became more constricted, because the scenery that was full of spring became mottled and miserable: the looted villages, the corpses of young girls burned to death on dead trees, and the destroyed crops......

Tantu, who was at the front of the line, suddenly signaled everyone to stop, and it turned out that it was a dog meteorite barking in the grass next to the path, as if it had found something in the grass.

Tantu hurriedly ran over, and it turned out that there were still several corpses in the grass.

"There's a wounded survivor!" Tantu shouted.

After Cheng Susu heard it, he immediately jumped down from the back of "Xiao Chuan", Xiao Chong was jumped by Cheng Susu's actions, and was ready to follow, but was stopped by Cheng Susu in time, otherwise the huge body was not a joke.

"Xiyue, come over and learn to bandage with me!" Although Cheng Susu is young, he has been studying medicine for some time, and he wants to teach Xiyue a little way to save people.

Yuzuki followed without hesitation. As for Ding Xiaoyu, Cheng Susu didn't even ask, because she knew that Ding Xiaoyu was afraid of blood! This kind of healing and saving life, she will never touch it!

Cheng Susu's dog "Xiao Bian" immediately followed from the back of the team, perhaps because of the same owner, Xiao Ban also barked a few times at the mountain beast "Xiao Piercing", which was regarded as a greeting, and then Xiao Ban vigilantly came to the injured man's side.

The injured man was a middle-aged chubby farmer. A steel fork is being inserted into the lower abdomen. It's a miracle that the farmer has survived until now.

Cheng Susu knew that the farmer was no longer saved, and all she could do was to alleviate the pain of this person as much as possible. So she fed him some poppy soup.

"It's the Serpent King, he's changed...... He used to be diligent in government and loved the people, but now he is killing his people! …… Don't go to him, get out of ......."

The medicine began to work, and the poor farmer fell into a deep sleep. At this time, Si Ran also followed, and when he heard the farmer's words, his face was full of disappointment.

"It seems that we can't go to the Dragon King Temple......" Si Ran muttered after sighing.

"Then let's go straight to Sea City!" Tantu suggested, "It's not a way to run like this!" ”

Si Ran nodded, and decided to listen to everyone's opinions.

After passing through the village and arriving at a clearing, everyone gathered together and decided to replan their trip.

Si Ran and Zhao both stood on a rock, while Tan Tu led a few donkeys and horses on a hillside overgrown with tender grass not far away, after all, these donkeys and horses worked the hardest along the way.

Xiyue and the girls got together and stood opposite Si Ran, and even Mona, who was in slightly better health, followed with Cheng Susu's support.

After the dwarves parked their two magic cars on one side of the gentle country road, they also hurriedly followed. The dogs are still on guard.

"Children, you have worked hard all the way, we originally hoped to be able to get the protection of the snake king, but it backfired, it seems that the snake king can no longer be trusted, we have to make a new choice!" Si Ran reluctantly announced, "Either continue walking, or go back to Sea City to meet our relatives!" - I hope you can reach an agreement soon! If you agree with the idea of going to the rescue and greeting your loved ones, please raise your hand! ”

Almost without thinking, all of them raised their hands in agreement with the plan to greet their loved ones.

Xiyue stood behind Si Ran, feeling inexplicably excited in her heart.

"Finally no longer have to hide!" Ding Xiaoyu beside him almost jumped up, "Let's go to Sea City to save our people!" ”

Before dark, everyone went to the nearby villages to collect enough food supplies, and as soon as the next day dawned, everyone couldn't wait to march to the sea city.

Tantu used to be a dart player, and he traveled north and south for decades, and he was quite familiar with the roads of the Crystal Empire, so it was not difficult to find a way to Sea City. However, the familiar roads of Tantu may have been full of dangers, so Tantu tried to lead everyone on some of the more obscure roads, often hidden paths covered with lush trees.

In early summer, the area south of the Qinglong River begins to enter the rainy season. From morning to noon, the foggy drizzle is almost constant, and the green leaves are covered with water droplets, and with each step, water droplets splash on the body, making everyone's tarpaulin umbrella useless. Everyone was soaked, and the dogs were even more pitiful, and the dog hair on their bodies became wisps and wisps, which made people feel distressed.

It wasn't until noon that everyone marched dozens of miles to the sea city, but fortunately they didn't encounter any trouble. The gray hair of the little gray began to fade as it became hotter and hotter, but when it was soaked by the rain, it became mottled and very ugly. Xiyue had to get down from the back of the divine beast and use her own peach wood comb to comb the scattered gray hairs on Xiao Ash's body. The other dogs were also cleaned up by their respective owners.

Only the meteorite and its owner Zhao were on the last alert of the team, and there was no time to clean up. Zhao Du looked embarrassed. So Yuzuki asked Ash, who had already cleaned up, to run to the end of the line to take over the meteorite.

So Yuzuki began to help the meteorite clean up the dog's hair.

"If only there was a cave!" Si Ran sighed. Due to the muddy roads, their carriage was forced to be abandoned halfway, and she and Mona rode on the back of the mountain-piercing beast "Xiao Chuan" that Cheng Susu was driving.

"Wang! Woof! Woof! Wang ...... "It turned out to be the dog "Little Hand" who followed the smooth road at the front, and issued a warning.

Xiyue hurriedly led the meteorite closer to Si Ran's location, and the others also moved towards this set. This is all a plan made by everyone in advance, and once there is an emergency, they will immediately gather around Siran.

Tan Tu, at the front of the line, led the dog's little hand and rushed back.

"There are a lot of dead bodies in the woods ahead!"

"Tantu, I'll go with you to take a look, the others are here to be on guard!"

After Si Ran finished speaking, he jumped off the back of the mountain beast. At this time, Zhao Du led Xiao Ash to Xiyue's side and served as a guardian.

"Mother-in-law, look at the sky!" The vision of the setting moon is outstanding, and under the dim clouds in the distance, there are dozens of "stars" twinkling!

"Humanskin lanterns!" Si Ran said in surprise. One of the main ways for the human skin lantern mage to warn intruders is also a kind of "kill order", and anyone who sees a human skin lantern must die!

"It seems that we have broken into the exclusion zone! We're going to be in trouble! Si Ran said, she looked around, as if to observe the terrain, but the surrounding woods were dense and there was no danger to defend.

"Sister Si Ran, we can set enchantments and traps around us, let's see who the other party is first!" Zhao Du suggested.

Si Ran thought for a moment and said, "For now, it can only be like this!" ”

"Xiyue, you go to the top of the mountain beast and be with Mona! Ding Xiaoyu, you go up too! Si Ran ordered.

Xiyue and Ding Xiaoyu both knew that under the current situation, it was best to obey orders, so the two of them got on Xiao Shou's back with the help of Mona.

"Cheng Susu, once the situation is urgent, immediately drive the divine beast back to the Dragon King Temple according to the original way, where will we gather then!"

Cheng Susu nodded.

Si Ran looked at the sky again, and the human skin lantern became larger and brighter, apparently rapidly approaching where they were.

"Zhao Du, leave Xiao Ash and the fire magic car more and less, you are responsible for protecting these girls and setting up the enchantment! Shangguan Tong'er is optimistic about the remaining horses, donkeys, and luggage; The rest of the dogs and Tantu come with me! ”

Si Ran's expression was extremely solemn, which Xiyue had never seen before, and she vaguely felt a trace of ominousness.

After speaking, Si Ran got on a black horse, and there was a black clay pot in his hand, followed by Tantu, who was driving a wooden magic car, and the dogs, who disappeared into the forest in front of him.

The setting moon looked at the sky again, and the human skin lantern had almost flown in front of them. Underneath each lantern hangs a rotten but smiling human head! ……
