Chapter 592: The Escape Journey (Part II)
Luo Han was meditating by the waterhole, and a few little girls were playing next to him, even if they were on the run, after settling down a little, the child's nature could not be suppressed after all. What's more, there were all kinds of rules and constraints in the palace in the past, but no one cared about it here, as long as there was no safety problem, you could do whatever you wanted.
Suddenly, Luo Han frowned, and Meng Fei's voice came from his mind: "Boss, a large number of monks and forbidden troops in Chang'an City have left the city, and they are just heading in your direction." β
Luo Han thought about it and responded: "Follow quietly and confirm whether the other party has a clear goal." The dragon and Meng Meng immediately did something to attract attention, and then rushed here. β
"Understood."
Ending the call, Luo Han stood up and said to Liu Nian: "Liu Nian, I'll leave it to you here." I went out with Shadow to see what was going on. β
Liu Nian nodded: "Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely not let you down this time." β
Luo Han knew that he was talking about being stopped and exposed by the official messenger before, so he didn't say anything, and led Qi Tao out of the Snake Demon Cave Mansion.
Not far from the cave mansion, Luo Han found the snake demon who was recuperating from his injuries, and asked bluntly, "Can your disciples and grandchildren act as scouts?" I mean the ones that don't have a demonic spirit. β
The snake demon nodded: "The concubine body can communicate with the same kind who has not yet become a sperm, I don't know what the king is going to do?" β
"It's possible that someone else has discovered it. I want you to send your men to watch all the locations outside of this area to see if there's something watching us. β
The snake demon was shocked, and hurriedly agreed, but she knew that the reason why she was able to cultivate here, she didn't have to go to the poor mountains and evil waters full of big demons to struggle for survival, all thanks to the hiding formation left by the scattered immortals in this place, if it was known by outsiders, she would either run away, or become a monk to subdue the demon, and there would never be such a comfortable day again.
A large number of snakes began to wander around, detecting the situation inside and outside the formation, but nothing was gained for a while.
Luo Han and Qi Tao left here and quietly rushed to a nearby county seat.
"Sure enough, the government already knows that we are hiding in the mountains." Seeing the notice at the gate of the county government to recruit people, Luo Han understood. "However, they don't seem to know where we are, the purpose of these officials is only to close the mountain on a large scale, if they know where we are, they can directly dispatch nearby monks to arrest us, there is no need to work so hard."
Qi Tao said: "Could it be the old cloth maze, in fact, we already know where we are?" β
Luo Han shook his head: "Unlikely." The notice said that it was necessary to cooperate with the officials of several nearby states to blockade the mountain range, and it would cost a lot of money to recruit people, and it would also affect the daily work of the people to a certain extent. β
"Then why don't we take people away first and let them pounce?"
"The point is that we don't know how they found us. Hiding there at least there is still room for operation within the formation, if you leave, in case you have tracking capabilities such as positioning, wouldn't you be asking for trouble? Luo Han paused and said, "If you find a way to infiltrate the people, I want to see how the other party finds me." β
Qi Tao nodded: "I know." β
Luo Han and Qi Tao separated, thought about it and went to buy some snacks to eat and go back. When they arrived outside the cave, Luo Han beckoned, "Uncle has brought you something delicious back." Wanru, wait for these things to your sisters. β
Li Wanru ran over to take the things in Luo Han's hand, thought about it, and asked, "Brother Han, is something wrong?" Otherwise, how could you suddenly run out? And Big Brother Shadow didn't come back either. β
Luo Han shook his head: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, take care of your sisters, by the way, why didn't you see your mother?" β
Li Wanru said: "My mother is embroidering things, is there anything wrong with her?" β
"It's fine, I just didn't see her asking. There you go. β
"Oh."
Waiting for Li Wanru to leave, Luo Han summoned Liu Nian and ordered: "Clean up the tent, we may have to prepare to leave." β
Liu Nian didn't ask what happened, answered, looked at the tent of Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter, and went to clean up the tents of several of their big men first.
Luo Han looked around, took off his clothes, wore only a pair of shorts, and plunged into the pool.
This time in the water, except for a few breaths of air that surfaced halfway, Luo Han never came out of the water again.
In the evening, Luo Han came out of the water. Liu Nian had already piled up the firewood, and when he saw him come out, he lit a bonfire and let Luo Han bake the water traces on his body. Everyone also sat around the campfire, watching the game from the barbecue in the past year.
Li Wanru asked curiously, "Brother Han, what are you doing underwater?" β
The fourth Li Wanyue pouted and said, "It must be playing something fun, don't let us play, stingy." β
Luo Han smiled and touched Li Wanyue's head and said, "Uncle is not playing, he is doing business." Underwater is very dangerous, Wanyue should not learn. β
"Wanyue, don't talk nonsense, Brother Han is not as playful as you." Li Wanru insisted on calling Brother Luo Han, and Luo Han was also helpless.
Zheng Guanyin is only thirty, thirty-one years old, for Luo Han, who has experienced a lot of time in the trial ground, even if he is not a junior, he is also a peer, and there is nothing wrong with her daughter calling herself an uncle. But he looks like he's in his early twenties, isn't it his brother's age for Li Wanru?
"Get down to business. Now the government should have some way to know our approximate location, but the specific situation is not yet known, in short, we must prepare in advance. After eating, you should hurry up and go to bed, maybe you won't have time to sleep after that. β
Zheng Guanyin was a little worried: "Since the government already knows that we are here, why don't you leave immediately?" β
Luo Han shook his head: "According to my guess, the government should only know our approximate location, which is likely to be the influence of the formation here." If we leave here, there is a high probability that we will be locked directly into a specific location. So I have to find out how the other party found us, and if this scourge is not removed, we will never be able to outrun those monks. Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements, and I'll definitely be able to escort you out of Datang." β
Zheng Guanyin pursed his lips, nodded and stopped talking. At this time, the snake demon appeared with a twisted waist, bowed respectfully to Luo Han and said, "King, there was a small report just now, saying that a few strange things were found outside the formation. β
Luo Han became interested and asked, "What is it?" "I love eBooks
The snake demon said: "It's said that it is a few ghosts, which can escape from the wood, come and go without a trace, and the speed is fast." But they kept hovering on the edge of the formation, as if they were looking for something. β
Luo Han waved his fist and said, "It must be the problem of these things." Where is it? I'll take a look. β
The snake demon said: "The king, please come with me, the little ones have been staring at these guys." β
Following the snake demon to the edge of the formation, the snake demon asked the little snake hanging on the tree, and after communicating in the language of snakes, the snake demon's face was a little ugly, and he said tremblingly: "King, those things are gone, I don't know if they have gone to other directions." β
Luo Han was not surprised, but they only found out now, which showed that those few things were not there all the time, and it was not strange that they disappeared halfway.
"Ask snakes elsewhere to see when these things first appeared and when they disappeared at the latest."
"Yes, my lord." The snake demon departed.
Luo Han jumped onto a tree, grabbed a small green snake and played with it in his hand, this little thing he didn't dare to touch before entering the trial ground, but now, even if he let it bite, it probably won't be able to bite through his skin, so there is no pressure at all. However, his attention was not on the little snake, but on the stalking.
About an hour later, the snake demon hurriedly swam back and shouted, "Your Majesty, you guessed it right, those few things are indeed swimming around the edge of this formation. But according to the little ones, these things are extremely fast and don't stop anywhere else. The concubine was afraid that the king would wait too long, so she didn't come back after wandering around, but just asked the children and grandchildren to ask the little ones in other places if they saw these things. β
Luo Han suddenly asked a question: "Do they have a sense of time?" β
"This ......" the snake demon was stunned: "They ...... No. β
Luo Han shook his head, it was reasonable, after all, it was just a group of small snakes. But then, there's no way to confirm how fast they say they are. The range of the formation is extremely large, do they have any means of remote communication, even if those things appear again, I'm afraid it won't be too late to notify.
Luo Han thought for a moment and said, "According to the current information, those few things have only stayed here for a long time, and other places have flashed by?" β
The snake demon shook his head: "You can't say that, they have only stayed here for a short time, but they have indeed stayed here, and they have not stopped in other places for the time being." β
"I know, when you finish gathering those little information and come to the waterhole to find me, I'll go back first. By the way, I would like to warn you, if you want to live, you better stand with me, otherwise you should know what the attitude of the monks is towards you, a monster who lives in a human area and has eaten people. β
The snake demon nodded hurriedly: "The concubine understands." β
Luo Han threw out the green snake in his hand, and the green snake flew out like a sharp arrow, but it was quickly held up by a soft wind, allowing it to land steadily.
Back at the waterhole, Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter have eaten well and are sleeping, and the tent has been recycled by the passing years, so they can only sleep on the stone with their clothes, but fortunately, there is a bonfire to keep warm, so there is no need to worry about catching a cold.
Luo Han glanced at it and whispered a few words to Liu Nian, who nodded. Luo Han also stopped talking, changed his clothes, and fell asleep next to the campfire.
In the second half of the night, Luo Han opened his eyes, saw the swaying figure of the snake demon, and asked, "Did you ask clearly?" β
The snake demon was about to wake up Luo Han, but he didn't expect Luo Han to be so alert, so he jumped and came to his senses before saying, "Ask clearly, king." The ghosts circled around the formation, but they really only stayed at the beginning of the formation. Huhβwhat about the humans? β
The snake demon only noticed at this time that Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter were no longer there, not only that, but there was no trace of the passing years, and Luo Han was the only one here.
"You leave them alone, let your subordinates pay attention in the past two days, you can follow me, if there is a situation, I will take you away."
The snake demon was overjoyed: "Thank you, King." β
"Don't rush to thanks." Luo Han knew that the snake demon wanted to take her in, after all, the thigh of a demon clan powerhouse was still worth hugging, "I just don't want you to be killed by the monk." When you leave here, you can find a way to go to the place where the monks don't care, and I won't have time to take you back to my own cave. β
The snake demon was disappointed, but soon she smiled and said, "King, the concubine can't escape being bullied if she goes somewhere else, so you can take the concubine in kind." The concubine doesn't want any other benefits, she just wants to be satisfied if she can do things for the king. If the king is willing to take in the concubine, the concubine is willing to give the king a treasure obtained in this Sanxian Cave Mansion. β
Luo Han raised his eyebrows: "What baby?" β
The snake demon said: "I promise to satisfy the king, but the king needs to agree to the concubine, otherwise even if he kills the concubine, he will not be able to find this treasure." β
Luo Han thought about it and nodded: "My cave mansion is in the White Lion Country in the Western Regions, if you don't think the road is far away, I can take you with me, but you have to promise me that you will obey orders in the future and can't eat people anymore, otherwise I will directly stew snake soup with you." β
The snake demon was overjoyed: "What's so difficult about this? The king waited, and the concubine went back as soon as she went. β
Luo Han waited for more than ten minutes, and the snake demon swam back with his hips and tail, holding a flying sword in his hand.
The snake demon said: "This is the flying sword left by the scattered immortals, but it is very old, and the sword spirit has dissipated, but the material is extremely good, and it can be restored by re-injecting the sword spirit." The concubine body does not have such skills, but the king of Guan should be good at using swords, and he may have some doorways. β
Luo Han had some expectations, his insect sword was re-injected into the ranks of gold equipment, with Han Qingwei, this kind of thing is not a problem at all.
After taking the long sword, Luo Han was a little disappointed, the material of this sword was not sharp or hard enough, and the only advantage was that it was light. Even if it is infused with spirit, it is impossible to become an attack weapon like the insect sword. But something is better than nothing, at least a little stronger than the flying swords he got in the secret realm.
Two days later, the Chang'an monks led by Xuan Lingzi and the nearby Xiuzhen sect gathered outside the mountain, and at the same time, tens of thousands of officials and people had blocked this mountain range in advance, and the monsters might still be able to sneak in and out, but Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter would never be able to escape.
A group of monks followed the five ghosts to the place where Luo Han and they entered the formation. As soon as everyone stepped into the formation, they understood why the five ghosts chased after them and lost them. Not only is it isolated from mana fluctuations, but it also has a strong restraint on all kinds of hidden spells, and if the five ghosts enter here, it is easy to be perceived by the big demon inside.
The monks followed the five ghosts all the way to the waterhole, but they only saw a black-clothed and black-haired young man, stepping on a flying sword, and a colorful poisonous snake wrapped around his left arm, and the snake's tail was cut off when he looked closely.
"You're after you." Luo Han showed a helpless smile at them and said, "If I'm not mistaken, being able to find us is the credit of the five ghost things in front of me." It's a pity, what about finding it? Can you catch me? β
The words fell. Luo Han suddenly accelerated, turned into a streamer and rose into the sky, and quickly disappeared.
"Chase!"
