Chapter 269: Worm Island Chapter (9)
This leisurely walk like a god descends to frighten all the ants, but the appearance is sloppy like a beggar's expressionless face, and his eyes are not the kind of arrogance and coldness, but a kind of unfocused, indifferent indifference, which also has a bit of depression. Only when he looked at Wu Ling Zhou Yu would there be a bit of color in his eyes.
"You're not Qi Hongyi?" Jiang Ling asked again.
The man glanced at Jiang Ling with his cloudy eyes and said, "I'm a little confused, but I can't remember my name wrong." ”
"But you are an elder of the Qi family?" Xi Jiu asked.
The middle-aged man glanced at Xi Jiu with a little disgust and said, "When did the elders of the Qi family have to be called Qi Hongyi?" After speaking, he muttered again and said, "Qi Hongyi, it's a little familiar, it seems to be a junior." ”
"Are you an elder of the Qi family?" Jiang Ling was puzzled and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"If your cultivation is stagnant, you will come out and relax." The man replied casually.
"Come to the forbidden land... Trip? This answer made Jiang Ling and the three of them all petrified, and they didn't know what expression to use.
"You're a good martial spirit." The man looked at Zhou Yu and nodded approvingly, and then chuckled and said, "A year ago, I would definitely kill you and snatch the martial spirit." ”
Jiang Ling's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but let Zhou Yu take a few steps back.
The man was not angry, but sighed and said, "But this martial spirit is not suitable for me, forget it, it will only increase my troubles." ”
Jiang Ling was very puzzled by this man who looked a little abnormal, thought for a while and asked, "Senior, do you know that an elder of the Qi family is being hunted down by the Divine Court?" ”
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and muttered, "Why are they still fighting with the Divine Court." ”
Jiang Ling saw that the other party really didn't seem to know about this, and hurriedly said: "Just now, it was the people of the Divine Court who brought out these ants and trapped us, you can kill him with us." ”
The man looked puzzled, "Why do you want to help you kill him together?" ”
Xi Jiu was very surprised when he heard this, and said anxiously: "He is chasing and killing the people of your Qi family." ”
"So what, it's none of my business." The man shook his head a little impatiently, and said, "I don't want to care about anything now, I just sensed that someone called out a martial spirit, and I couldn't help but come over and take a look." Who you are and who you are fighting and killing has nothing to do with me. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Senpai?" Jiang Ling and the others hurriedly followed, and Song Wei also asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Just go for a walk." The man walked forward, then turned back and said, "What should you do?" ”
Jiang Ling and the three of them had just experienced the terrifying encounter of being chased and killed by thousands of ants, and they learned that the other party was the elder of the Qi family, so how could they let him go. Jiang Ling still didn't give up and took out the Qi family's guest order, and asked, "This is the Qi family's matter, do you really not care at all?" ”
"I've been away from the family for a long time, and the Qi family has nothing to do with me anymore." The man didn't look at it, and said indifferently: "I advise you not to follow me, and to stay away from me while I am still awake, otherwise when I start to go crazy, the three of you will definitely die." ”
After speaking, he looked back at the three of them, there was no trace of human emotion in his eyes, and said very indifferently: "I'm crazy, but I even killed my own son." ”
This sentence is spoken
, Jiang Ling and the three of them all felt a chill like substance enveloping them, making them believe that what the other party said at this moment was not a joke.
The man didn't look back, and when he walked seven or eight meters away, he suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared behind a small hill.
The three of them were still a little dazed, and Xi Jiu muttered, "What kind of god is this?" ”
Jiang Ling glanced back and reminded, "Let's stay a little farther away from this shrub." ”
Having just seen the terrifying scene of ants pouring out of their nests, none of the three dared to be careless, and quickly evacuated a hundred meters away, and came to the small mountain bag that the god had just passed by.
Jiang Ling didn't try to cross the mountain bag to find the man's traces, but only vigilantly probed around and found that it was safe for the time being.
Xi Jiu couldn't help but mutter, "Why is this person like this." ”
Song Wei sat on the ground, took out the trauma ointment to apply the redness and swelling on his face that was bitten by ants, and said, "If he hadn't arrived in time, we would have been finished." ”
"There is no mention of this person in the task given by the system." Xi Jiu frowned and said, "He won't lie to us, right?" ”
Jiang Ling shook his head when he heard this, and said: "He has no reason to lie to us, if he is from the Divine Court, there is no need to save us at all, and if he is Qi Hongyi, there is no need to hide it from us." And his demeanor doesn't seem to be fake, do you think he looks like a liar? ”
"Not really." Xi Jiu responded, and then added: "I look like a person who has gone bankrupt and his wife has run away with someone else, thus losing any interest in life." ”
"Poof... Ah... Hiss..."Song Wei couldn't help but laugh while applying the potion, and accidentally pressed his hand to the wound, and suddenly there was a tingling pain. He smiled wryly, "Don't make me laugh. ”
Jiang Ling didn't laugh, but said: "What you said is like that, this person should have experienced a big blow, and his current mental state is indeed abnormal." ”
"He said he would go mad and kill his own son." Song Wei finished applying the plaster, his expression became a little serious, and said, "Looking at him, I'm afraid that the Eight Achievements he said are really something that has happened." ”
"This man has intermittent psychosis? Hey, by the way, you borrowed my ointment for use, and I also hurt a lot. Xi Jiu stepped forward and took the plaster from Song Wei's hand, and while rubbing it on his arm, he said, "So you were expelled from the family?" As a result, it is now muddy. But needless to say, this person is definitely very strong. ”
"Of course, this is the master who can come to Worm Island to relax." Song Wei continued: "Besides, those ants just now, we couldn't stop them from approaching us with all kinds of attacks, but he didn't do anything, just walked over slowly, and those ants fled in panic." I really don't know if it's an exercise, or if there's something on him that it's too amazing. ”
"Why didn't the quest prompt tell me not to mess with the ants." Xi Jiu endured the stinging pain and smeared the plaster.
Jiang Ling took some recovery potions and said, "It's not like this time, even if it's an elder of the Qi family, it's a side plot if you think about it." It's time for us to turn our attention back to the main quest. ”
"This unfortunate main quest will be triggered even if you encounter someone from the Divine Court." Xi Jiu scolded and scolded.
Jiang Ling asked curiously, "How did you find out that he had a problem?" ”
"A woman's sixth sense." Xi Jiu replied like this, seeing that Jiang Ling was still looking at him painfully, and then explained: "I think of him."
There is no fugitive attitude at all, too calm and relaxed. There's no other evidence, isn't that a sixth sense? ”
"Uh, you're right, it's me and Brother Song who take it for granted." Jiang Ling nodded, and then said, "Now we should continue to look for Qi Hongyi." ”
"Yes." Xi Jiu handed the plaster to Jiang Ling again, and said, "Is there any good way?" ”
"Hey! I remembered one thing. Jiang Ling said suddenly when he took the ointment.
"What are you doing in a daze, what do you remember?" Xi Jiu asked.
Jiang Ling said: "The reason why Qi Hongyi did not hesitate to take risks to go to the heart of the island after coming to Worm Island is because he knows that there are elders of the Qi family here, so he wants to seek his help?" ”
Xi Jiu also nodded when he heard this, and then said, "But obviously, he didn't find this strange old man, and we can't find it now." ”
"Ugh." Jiang Ling also sighed, and after tossing around, he returned to the original point, with no clues, no direction, and could only wander around on this dangerous island by feeling.
"Where are we going now?" Song Wei asked.
Jiang Ling smeared the ointment and said helplessly: "I don't have a clue at all, otherwise let someone with a sixth sense decide." ”
Xi Jiuyi slapped his thigh and said, "You should have listened to me a long time ago, you two analyzed it through the horn, and in the end you almost killed us." If you want me to say, go there! ”
Xi Jiu raised his hand and pointed to the mountain in the center of the island.
Jiang Ling glanced at her with empty eyes, and reminded: "If I'm not mistaken, the task prompt says that it is called the Holy Mountain, and the closer you get to the Holy Mountain, the stronger the insects will be." ”
Xi Jiu nodded matter-of-fact and said, "I would like to believe that Qi Hongyi is a person who knows difficulties. ”
Jiang Ling shook his head helplessly and said, "I suspect you are talking nonsense, but I have no evidence." ”
Song Wei said: "It's the same wherever you go, and it seems that the guys from this Divine Court have been tracking down the periphery for a long time, maybe Qi Hongyi really went to the center of the island." ”
Xi Jiu asked, "Shall we take another break?" ”
Jiang Ling put away the ointment, shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of progress the hostile players have made, let's hold on tightly." ”
Those ants must have been a little poisonous just now, and the place where they were bitten was red, swollen and stinging, but fortunately, the ointment carried by Song Wei had a good effect, and the pain was relieved after applying it. The three of them took some more recovery potions, and continued their journey towards the peak in the center of the island.
What they didn't know was that at this moment in the southeast of that sacred mountain, a violent wind suddenly rolled up, and the wind was so strong that it blew the branches crookedly and the leaves rattled. A penetrating, unusually harsh, but not very loud sound could be heard spreading with the wind.
"Who provoked the Butterfly Emperor?"
A man crouched cautiously at the foot of the sacred mountain, covered his ears with his hands, and looked there in amazement.
"Don't bother me." He muttered, then walked along the foot of the hill in the opposite direction.
He walked slowly, cautiously, and he didn't make a sound.
There was no sound of feet on the ground and falling leaves, no sound of his body rubbing against the trees, not even the sound of his breathing.
Like a ghost, he walked slowly.
He seemed to be looking for something, and he seemed to be looking for someone.
