Chapter 77: Changing the Plan (Second Update, Asking for Collections, Asking for Recommendations)
Ever since he entered the Void Styx Mountain, Huo Xiu had always felt a little treacherous. Although he could see and hear, he always felt that he was greatly restricted.
It wasn't until he was raided by this poisonous snake that Huo Xiu suddenly came to his senses. His perception was greatly suppressed, and he didn't even notice the poisonous snake approaching him in time without first noticing it.
"This Empty Stygian Mountain is quite similar to the Innate Battlefield, maybe this place has been shrouded in miasma all the year round, and it has something to do with that. ”
Huo Xiu touched his chin and thought coldly.
However, Hosho can take advantage of this and implement a bold plan.
Huo Xiu immediately turned around and followed behind Ji Chong and the others from a distance.
At this time, Ji Chong and the others had already quickly marched towards the agreed location.
Although there are few demon clans here, there are no fewer powerful beasts. If they bump into each other, they may not be able to beat them. Only by quickly meeting with the main force of the Ji family can you have a little sense of security.
Not long after, Ji Chong and the others had already rushed to the side of a lake. Here, Ji Wuer and the others had already cleared out a vacant land and were ready to set up camp here.
At this time, the tall and thin man saw Ji Chong coming over with a serious face, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Chong'er, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Chong didn't speak, and the short man on the side preemptively said, "It's not enough, we met Huo Xiu's kid." ”
"What?!"
Not far away, Ji Wuji, who was camping, heard the news and immediately stopped.
He stepped forward quickly and hurriedly asked, "How did Huo Xiu break in, and where is he now?"
Ji Chong sighed and told everything that had happened.
After hearing this, Ji Wuer clenched his fists and said sharply: "Let's go find that guy now, in this wilderness, even if we kill him, no one will know." ”
The tall and thin man shook his head and said, "No, we still have important tasks to do, and we don't have much time to waste on other things." And where Huo Xiu is now, we don't know anything, so we can't wander around in this empty mountain. ”
When the stout man heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Huo Xiu's kid seemed to have something important to do, and he was in a hurry to get out, and he didn't feel embarrassed. It's just that in the blink of an eye, we can't see him. ”
"Then let Huo Xiu bully us? Ji Wuer was still unwilling to give up, and said hatefully.
The tall and thin man patted Ji Wuer and said, "Huo Xiu openly kicked his nose in the face, and our Ji family must not let it go." But we have important tasks on this trip, which must be completed as soon as possible. In this way, we will not set up camp here, but will get up at once and rush to our destination, and go as far as we can when the time comes, and we will rest when it is completely dark. After completing the task ahead of schedule, we'll go to Huo Xiu's trouble. ”
Everyone present agreed, quickly put away the tents that had been set up, and quickly left the lake, heading towards the depths of the Empty Stygian Mountain.
On the hill in the distance, Huo Xiu watched all this silently. Although I couldn't hear what the other party was saying, just because the other party quickly dismantled the tent that had been erected, it must have changed the plan temporarily. That way, he has a better chance of making a move.
In this way, Huo Xiu followed the Ji family's team from a distance.
Gradually, the sky darkened, and the poisonous insects and beasts that were dormant in the depths of the mountains also began to become active, and all kinds of roars came and went.
Seeing this, the tall and thin man had no choice but to wave his hand and stop.
"It's not early, we have also reached the depths of the Empty Shadow Mountain, and it is easy to encounter danger if we rush overnight, so it is better to set up camp here and set off early tomorrow morning. ”
This time, Ji Xuan preemptively agreed. Of the entire squad, he was the worst. Rao is protected by everyone, and he is still afraid to die, and he wishes to stop as soon as possible.
Everyone else knew Ji Xuan's thoughts, but they were helpless against the youngest young master. Having to let him rest for a while, everyone began to clear the open space and set up tents.
The location here is not ideal, it is in a chaotic mountain pass. But there was no way, they were in a hurry, they had already missed the scheduled location, and they could only settle for a while.
A quarter of an hour later, the tent was erected. According to the usual practice, Ji Xuan, who is the weakest, sleeps in the innermost tent, and the others are separated from each other.
Ji Xuan had been on the road all day, and he was already exhausted, so he fell asleep after dinner. But everyone else sat around the fire, discussing their next steps.
The tall and thin man coughed and said slowly, "The miasma of this Empty Stygian Mountain has been dissipated for two days, and there are still five days to go, and the miasma will return." And it will take us half a day to reach our destination, and we will stay at the destination for another day or two. In other words, if everything goes well, we should have two or three days to look for Huo Xiu. Even if you can't find it, you can leave safely. ”
"However, there are a lot of wild beasts in that place, and with the strength of our brothers, it is difficult to clean them up in one day. Ji Chong said with an embarrassed face.
The tall and thin man waved his hand and said, "Although my eldest brother asked you to come to the Empty Styx Mountain on this trip, it is to increase your actual combat experience. But compared to that secret treasure, it is not worth mentioning at all. The beasts there will be handed over to me and your third uncle to deal with. When I go back, I'll explain it to my eldest brother. ”
Seeing this, Ji Chong didn't question it anymore.
At this time, Ji Wuer suddenly said faintly: "You say, what is Huo Xiu's kid doing now? ”
The tall and thin man nodded, and said with a serious face: "Wuji is right, Huo Xiu's kid is extremely treacherous, and it is indeed possible to do this kind of thing. Moreover, since entering the Void Styx Mountain, my perception has been suppressed, and it is difficult to sense the situation nearby. Tonight, everyone put their tricks on the spot, and be careful that Huo Xiu took the opportunity to sneak attack. ”
Ji Wuer's face sank, and he said hatefully: "If Huo Xiu dares to come, I have to crush him to ashes." ”
Seeing this, the tall and thin man gently comforted: "Wuji, don't be rash, you must obey the command." Tonight we will work in pairs and take turns keeping vigil. I'll take Chong'er first, and then you and Xiaosi together. ”
Ji Wuji barely suppressed his anger and turned back into the tent.
In the distance, Huo Xiu was on the top of a big tree, watching the people of the Ji family's team return to the tent to rest one after another, leaving only the clutch realm martial artist and Ji Chong to guard outside, and they had already guessed their plan. Now, it's time to carry out his own plan.
The corners of Huo Xiu's mouth outlined a strange arc, and then he flew down and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
