Chapter 124: Leading the Way
"What awaits me in the direction that draws me there?
Lu Li thought suspiciously, and in the end, he felt a chill down his spine even glance in that direction.
"Little Mouse, can you speak?"
After perceiving his previous abnormality, Lu Li had a little more affection for this four-eyed mouse who had been kicked away by himself many times and worked tirelessly to guide his way.
The rat "squeaked" twice, showing Lu Li that it wasn't that magical.
"Since you can't speak, can you understand me?" Lu Li still tried to see how smart this mouse really was.
The rat-man with a large dark gray tail stood up, and was about to make some movements towards Lu Li when an arm with wrinkled skin and shaped like a tree branch reached out.
Squeak! Squeak!
An ape with unusually long arms and three tails lurked nearby, and at this time happened to hold the four-eyed mouse in his hand.
The mouse screamed like crazy, and when Lu Li saw this, he instinctively flicked his fingers, wanting to save the rat that was not cute, but smart enough, with a volley of sword qi.
In the next moment, with the sound of the three-tailed ape climbing the tree and fleeing, and the screams of the rats chasing the distance, Lu Li realized that he had lost his sword element, and he couldn't release his sword qi at all.
At this moment, without using his demonic energy, he can only be regarded as an ordinary martial artist with a strong physique.
But ordinary martial artists still have internal forces to drive in their bodies, and now Lu Li can only open his legs, or leap or somersault, trying to follow the footsteps of the ape.
But all around were strange trees with twisted branches, and the skin of the three-tailed ape was very close to the surrounding color, which made it a little more difficult for Lu Li to catch up.
The ape's unusually long arms swung from branch to branch, and its three slender tails kept adjusting for a moment, stabilizing the balance of the ape's body.
"This bald monkey is running fast!"
After all, Lu Li is a [Force] martial artist who is good at physique, and now although he has lost the sword element, which can be called the foundation of a martial artist's life, his own physical fitness is not comparable to that of an ape.
But this ape, although not as fast as Lu Li, is extremely agile in the trees.
This made Lu Li jump on the branch several times, but the three-tailed ape shook it off with agility, and grinned at Lu Li from time to time, not knowing whether he was laughing or threatening.
Lu Li stomped on his feet, shaking a stone on the ground.
He grabbed the stone in his hand with a "snap", took a slight aim, and then threw it with his arms, and in the roar of breaking the air, he threw the fist-sized stone at the three-tailed ape.
The castration of this stone was fast, and Lu Li had predicted the direction of the ape's advance in advance, and this throw should have been unavoidable.
But the three-tailed ape, as if sensing danger, made an abrupt turn, causing the stone to crash into the air, piercing through the dense foliage, and disappearing in an instant.
The ape, who was almost hit on the head by a stone, was startled and angry, and after baring its teeth at Lu Li below, he continued to leap between the branches in a different direction.
And the mouse did not make any more "squeak" sounds, and I don't know if it was tired and resigned to its fate, or if it had died in the ape's claws.
"Damn, I, Lu Li, was manipulated by the Demon Venerable at will, and that can be regarded as involuntarily, and being decided by the Sword Saint's words is also considered inferior to others. Now even you, a brute, dare to come and insult me, and die for my master!"
Lu Li was in a hurry, and wisps of black and mist-like demonic qi suddenly rose between the five fingers of his right hand, and he was going to kill the ape directly with demonic qi regardless of everything.
The ape among the branches seemed to sense the danger, and hurriedly threw the mouse in his hand downward, and he changed direction and continued to flee.
"Count you as acquaintances!"
Lu Li restrained the demonic qi between his fingers, and ran to the mouse in a few steps, but saw that this strange-looking mouse was already out of breath and inlet in little, and it was obviously about to die.
"Little mouse, it's useless to blame me, not even an ape can catch up. Lu Li said to himself.
The four-eyed mouse had three of its eyes closed tiredly, and the only one eye that was open was gradually closing castration, and it "squeaked" twice, its small paws pointing in one direction.
"Do you want me to go that way?"
Lu Li glanced in that direction, and when he turned back to ask, the four eyes of the brown mouse had all been closed, and his breath had completely disappeared.
"Whew. ”
Lu Li exhaled, restrained the little sadness in his heart, and strode in the direction indicated by the four-eyed mouse.
As he walked, Lu Li's heart once again had a strong and inexplicable sense of attraction, which made him unconsciously deviate from his original route and want to approach the place that attracted him.
At this moment, a gorgeous bird with fiery red wings and orange tail feathers flew over.
The bird flapped its wings and landed in front of Lu Li without the slightest fear.
"Hey bird, do you want to be my dinner?"
Lu Li asked in a friendly manner, and a big hand was already stretched out to the stupid bird in front of him.
The flamboyant feathers of the birds flapped their wings to dodge and make a "poo" call.
Lu Li is so agile, no matter how the red-winged bird dodges, it will not escape his capture.
"The portion is quite large, and I don't know what the quality of the meat is. ”
Lu Li weighed the stupid bird in his hand, and his eyes were still looking for dead branches and fallen leaves that could be used as firewood.
The red-winged bird struggled slightly, and when it saw that it couldn't break free of Lu Li's palm, it kept making a "boom" sound, hoping to attract Lu Li's attention.
"Don't scream, I know you're cold, and you'll be warm in my stomach later. ”
Lu Li didn't even glance at the prey in his hand, but instead gathered the dead branches and leaves around him, preparing to solve the problem of eating first before hurrying.
To this day, Lu Li has not eaten for nearly seven days.
Originally, with Lu Li's cultivation, without much consumption, it doesn't matter if you don't eat for a month, you just need to replenish water properly.
Now that he has lost his sword yuan and lost his extraordinary capital, no matter how tough his body is, he can't withstand the impact of hunger.
The red-winged bird is still "buoh" non-stop, if Lu Li stops what he is doing and takes a look at this bird, he will find that this bird does not seem panicked, and his eyes are very humane and reveal a look of helplessness.
But when Lu Li struck the two stones at a very fast speed and successfully burst into sparks, the red-winged bird could not escape the fate of being roasted.
After a meal, Lu Li sucked the remaining grease on his fingers and commented quite pertinently:
"The meat is quite tender, but there is too much fat and it is too greasy, and I don't know how this bird flies with such a thick layer of fat. Well, if you don't bake it and use it to fry it instead, you might be able to have a different flavor. It's a pity that I don't have an oil pan on hand now, it's a pity. ”
Even if he opened his stomach, Lu Li, who was far from filling his stomach, was no longer picky, and continued to walk forward according to his instincts.
Up to this point, he still believed that he was walking in the direction that the little mouse had finally pointed out, without the slightest suspicion that he had deviated from his original route.
But this time, before Lu Li could take two steps, another red-winged bird fell from the sky, this bird seemed to have flown from a distance, and Lu Li didn't find it among the nearby branches when he picked up the dead branches and leaves before.
"Oh, there's another one. ”
Lu Li touched his belly, which was far from full, and was about to grab the rations that fell from the sky.
Whoop!
The red-winged bird cried, spread its wings quite humanely, and stood in front of Lu Li in a posture of blocking the road.
"You don't want me to go on?"
This time, even if Lu Li's mind was no longer active, he could see the unusual nature of the bird in front of him.
The red-winged bird hurriedly "poofed" twice, as if to confirm Lu Li's guess.
Lu Li turned his head to look at Shi Lu, looked a few more times in front of him, and said to the red-winged bird, "Am I going the wrong way?"
Whoop!
The red-winged bird flapped its wings and was very decisive.
Lu Li patted his head, and at this time he seemed to notice that something was wrong.
At this time, the red-winged bird had flapped its wings and flew in another direction after circling overhead.
Lu Li understood that the other party was showing him the way, so he did not hesitate and strode behind the red-winged bird.
After running two steps, Lu Li suddenly asked, "The bird from before also came to show me the way?"
The red-winged bird that was leading the way in front heard the words and let out a cry of "poof", and the helplessness contained in it could be heard even by Lu Li.
