Chapter 29: Combo (2)
Caihui and Xiaolan's primordial gods were finally liberated from the confinement of the red lotus.
The moment they left the red lotus's body, neither of them stood firmly, and collapsed directly to the ground.
Lan Jue ran over, looked up and said to the tall Martial God, "Hey, I said you're too savage, aren't you?"
When you don't have enough strength, you can borrow it from others, isn't that what you often do. Honglian looked indifferent.
Lan Jue pouted, "I'm looking for the gods to borrow strength, and the gods won't care!"
"Will Caihui and Xiaolan care?" Honglian smiled, walked up to Caihui and the two, and stretched out her hand to pull them up.
Lan Jue's black cloud covered his head, and cold sweat was like a waterfall, "It's not a matter of caring or not! The strength of the two of them can't withstand you making such a mess! Isn't the combination skill you and Xiaolan cooperating with before, isn't it very good, why do you have to absorb their primordial spirit." What if the consumption is too much and the original spirit is extinguished?"
Honglian didn't mean to repent at all, but smiled, "How come." I still have that control. β
Xiaolan leaned against the trunk of the tree, and the spiritual power that was originally abundant in the primordial spirit was almost squandered at this time. Hearing that Lan Jue was blaming Red Lotus, Xiaolan said, "Although it is a little difficult to bear, it is ......"
"But?" Lan Jue looked at Xiaolan suspiciously.
Xiaolan's expression suddenly became very excited, and the weakened Yuan Shen suddenly became energetic, "This is really exciting!
Red Lotus and Lan Jue were dumbfounded, expressing their incomprehension of Xiaolan's unprovoked excitement.
Lan Jue stomped his foot, "Forget it, I don't care about you!
Lan Jue pouted, and went to the front alone.
Xiaolan was also very puzzled, and asked Honglian, "What's wrong?
β...... Probably. Honglian was speechless for a while, "There is indeed an insurmountable gap between the thinking of women and men. β
I walked a little further, but I didn't meet any more monsters and demon flowers.
Lan Jue looked left and right as he walked.
Red Lotus asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lan Jue said thoughtfully, "In the area of god-level demonic beasts, not only has the number of demonic beasts decreased, but even the air has become thinner. β
Red Lotus asked casually, "So what?"
Lan Jue blinked, "No more." I just thought it would be great if I wouldn't meet monsters again when I went out all the way. β
"I don't understand what you're thinking. Red Lotus lifted her forehead and sighed, "Even if the number decreases, it may not be completely avoided." If you have any time to think about this, why don't you find a way around the Forbidden Forest?"
"I can't get around it. The terrain here is gourd-shaped, and the hunting forest is squeezed in the middle by four mountain ranges, just at the narrowest gourd waist. Outside the four mountains is the sea, unless you swim over. What's the matter, Lord Martial God, are you scared?" Lan Jue looked at Red Lotus with a grin.
"Scared? Honglian smiled, bared her fangs, and said, "Instead of walking like this slowly, it's better to rush out in one go." Summon Caihui and Xiaolan back to the bracelet and give them a break. β
Lan Jue nodded, and took the weakened Caihui brothers back into the ink crystal bracelet.
Then the red lotus picked up Lan Jue, her body was like the wind, and she ran straight out of the forest.
Rushed out of the gourd-shaped mountain pass, and the eyes suddenly opened up.
The ancient forest that obscured the sky was gone, and the sky was clear.
Lan Jue, who fell asleep in the arms of the red lotus, was awakened by the bright sunshine, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he let out a "wow" and jumped out of the arms of the red lotus.
Here and now, on a high hillside, overlooking a bustling town. The neat streets, as well as the easternmost splendid palace complex, surround the moat like a jade belt.
Honglian crossed her arms and asked, "This is the imperial capital of Izumo City, right?" I almost can't recognize it after not seeing it for many years. β
Lan Jue looked excited, "Yes, yes, I haven't seen you for a few years, it seems that the imperial capital has expanded a lot!"
Red Lotus had no interest in the city or anything, but asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"
"What to do? Passing through the Imperial Capital, of course! This is the nearest road. And there are a lot of friends of mine in the imperial capital, so let's go and see it by the way!"
"That's not right. You used to be a world-famous onmyoji, but now you're a wanted criminal. Red Lotus reminded with a smile.
"Wanted criminals or something, it's too ugly!" Lan Jue raised his eyebrows and protested dissatisfiedly.
"Being chased all over the world by the Bounty Knights is not only a wanted criminal, but even a Qin criminal. After all, although the Bounty Knights are always active in the people, they are the minions of the core ruling organ of the empire, and if there is a war, they will be incorporated into the army, and they are the most powerful elite troops in battle. They are directly responsible to the imperial court, and their headquarters are in the Izumo Imperial Capital, aren't you looking for death if you swagger in like this? By the way, not only the Bounty Knights are arresting people everywhere as minions, but also the heretical investigation knights who specialize in planting eyeliner are hidden in all corners of the empire, and probably, only the forbidden forest and the major dangerous places are not within their monitoring range. β
Lan Jue was stunned for a moment at Red Lotus's explanation, "Oh, Red Lotus, where did you know about these things? I always thought that the Bounty Knights were a killer organization that collected money to kill people." Why, is it an imperial institution? And what kind of heretical investigation knights you mentioned, I haven't even heard of it...... No, I think I've seen it once or twice in a book, but I don't have any details at all, so I forgot about it later. β
Lan Jue leaned in front of Red Lotus, pursed his lips, and squinted his eyes at him, "What did you do behind my back?"
Red Lotus laughed, picked up Lan Jue, and said, "I was a member of the Bounty Knights when I was alive. The direct source of information for the Bounty Order is the Knights of the Heresy Investigation. So, strictly speaking, the heresy is still the top boss of the bounty group. The two agencies work together to maintain the rule of the Empire, and if they are targeted by the heresy group, it will be a big trouble. Your name as the witch Blue Lord has long been blacklisted by the Inquisition. Let's bypass the imperial capital. β
Lan Jue pouted, "It's better for them to find me, and I have a chance to defend myself!"
Honglian frowned, "Don't talk crazy. These two places are easy to get in and hard to get out. I've been with the bounty group for so many years, taking on countless missions, not one of which is not chasing the target to the ends of the earth. If you don't die, you have to peel off your skin. β
"Isn't the bounty group at the mercy of the investigation team? If the investigation team finds out about me, then there is no need to hide in Tibet!"
Honglian hugged Lan Jue tightly and said worriedly, "You are too naΓ―ve. That being said, you have to understand that both of these institutions are in the service of the Empire, and if they threaten the Empire, for whatever reason, they will eliminate them. Based on this fact, the bounty group can no longer accept the orders of the investigation team, and directly list you as a dangerous person who threatens the rule of the empire. Isn't it already clear that the people from the bounty group have come to the door several times before?"
