"Okay, Miss Helian, you go and rest first, you have been tossing for so many days, your body is already overwhelmed, rest well, tomorrow we will look for the Seven Leaf Black Lotus together."

I saw that Helian Xiaoxiao couldn't open his eyes when he was chatting, so I said this.

Helian smiled a little, and suddenly asked me mysteriously, "Brother Qin, can I ask you something?" ”

A blush appeared on her face, and I don't know if it was a natural appearance or because it was reflected in the light of the fire.

"Oh? What's the problem? ... You ask! ”

Helian nodded slightly, probably afraid that Sun Rang would hear it, so she leaned closer to me and asked, "Brother Qin, do you have a girlfriend in the yang world?" ”

Forehead.

Her words stunned me for a moment. But looking at her shyness, I'm afraid she has thoughts about me. I groaned for a moment, didn't say anything, just nodded.

Seeing me nodding, a look of disappointment appeared in Helian's small eyes.

Then, she said, "I know, Brother Qin, I'll go and rest first." ”

Although Helian's small voice was small, when she spoke to me, her movements were very intimate. Sun Rang next to him said with a smile after Helian left slightly, "Brother Qin, I see, Bacheng that Helian Daoist has taken a fancy to you?" ”

Oh yes, he guessed it right.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you're sleepy, go to bed first."

Hehe, Sun Rang went to sleep in a hurry, but there was a smile on his face.

I glanced at Helian Xiaoxiao, who was already lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and it seemed that the image of the previous scene by the waterhole appeared in front of me again.

That fragrant picture is really exciting. However, Zitong has become my girlfriend, and I can't live up to her.

After adding a little firewood to the fire, I simply cleared a clearing next to it and went to sleep.

The little civet curled up in my arms and slept very sweetly, I wonder if it dreamed of the flesh of the ground, and saliva would flow from the corners of its mouth from time to time.

The next morning, I woke up first, and Sun Rang and Helian were still sleeping. I went out to find some fruit, and when I came back, Sun Rang had already woken up. The two of us ate a little fruit.

"Brother Qin, what are we going to do today?" Sun Rang asked me.

I said, "I think we should shift our positions and not stay here anymore." On the one hand, we don't know if the group of ghosts that searched for the bottom of the mountain have returned. On the other hand, almost all of the seven-leaf black lotuses around this side have been found by us, and if we want to find more seven-leaf black lotuses, we have to go farther away. ”

"Now with the help of the civet, we can avoid a lot of danger. So my opinion is that we should go to the depths of Manggu Mountain and take a look, maybe we can find the seven-leaf black lotus with the five elements element. If there is, it will be good for you. ”

Hearing me say this, Sun Rang was naturally very happy. He agreed, "Okay, Brother Qin, then let's go to the depths of Manggu Mountain... It's all here, and it's also boring to go and look at the depths. ”

"Although our jade cards have almost turned blood red now, we still have to have the spirit of adventure. Even if you can't get the quota of the executor, it won't be a loss to find that kind of seven-leaf black lotus with the five elements element. ”

The two of us hit it off, discussing and eating the fruit.

After a while, Helian Xiaoxiao woke up, yawned, and sat down next to me. I told her what I discussed with Sun Rang, and Helian Xiaoxiao had no opinion.

She and the civet cats ate a little of the meat left over from yesterday, and the fruit I had picked this morning. We cleaned up the clearing of the rocks, put out the fire, took our things, and left here.

After staying here for so many days, to be honest, I really have feelings.

If it weren't for the protection of the jade plate and the search for the seven-leaf black lotus, I would really be willing to stay here for a few more days.

Shuttling through the woods, along the high hills, we headed towards the depths of Manggut Mountain.

In the depths of the mountain, the trees are denser, and the number of dead yellow leaves has increased. However, what struck me as strange was that many of the trees had lost their leaves, giving it a lifeless feeling.

We left in the morning, and by noon we rested in a forest. During this period, I encountered a few ghost corpses, and because of the reminder of the civet dog, they all safely avoided the past, and also found a few seven-leaf black lotus.

However, the yin power in those seven-leaf black lotus plants was absorbed by Helian Xiaoxiao. It can also be regarded as preferential treatment for girls.

I can also see that Sun Rang is closer to Helian Xiaoxiao, but Helian Xiaoxiao is a little annoyed by him, so from time to time, she will choke Sun Rang with words and make Sun Rang very faceless. But Sun Rang's skin is really thick enough, and he still sticks it up with a dead face.

Midday.

We were resting in the woods, near a stream. The water in the stream was clean, and we all drank a lot to rehydrate. And in the stream, we also caught more than a dozen of those strange fish. The sashimi that was not grilled over the fire and we ate it directly.

It's a pity that there is no dipping sauce and no horseradish, but the taste of the fruit is really special.

Helian sipped a small snack of sashimi and said, "Brother Qin, it's better to stay with you at ease, and in one morning, we found so many seven-leaf black lotuses, it's really amazing, thanks to the civet dog, this little guy is really amazing." ”

The civet was not so scared of Helian Xiaoxiao anymore, and from time to time it burrowed into Helian Xiaoxiao's arms, and I suspect that it might be a male.

The rest time was very short, only half an hour, and then we continued to walk deeper into the mountain.

After walking for a while, we were all surprised that the trees were slowly decreasing. But continue to walk towards the front.

As we walked, we came to a meadow with wild grass. Large patches of dead grass are lined up, and there are not many trees in between.

It's very desolate, similar to the wasteland above Yinji, except that there is no dead grass over there, and it is gray, but here it is a patch of barren grass, and you can see a long distance when you look up.

And on the top of this barren meadow, you will see ghosts and corpses from time to time! Most of the corpses were exposed, completely exposed to our sight.

After roughly calculating, there must have been more than a dozen ghost corpses seen.

"I'll go, there are so many ghosts here! However, it is still a long way from us. However, Brother Qin, should we enter this barren grassland, if we do, we will most likely become the target of those ghost corpses. ”

"It's safe for us to hide in the woods for the time being, but if we go into the barren grassland, the ghost corpse doesn't perceive the jade plate, and we can be found by eyesight alone, and when the time comes, if we are surrounded, we will not be able to fly."

That's right, Sun Jean was right.

If we enter this barren meadow, I am afraid that the danger factor will be greatly increased. However, my eyesight is much better than that of Sun Rang and Helian Xiaoxiao. I noticed that at the end of the barren meadow, there seemed to be a large black shadow.

The dark shadow seemed to be a small building.

When I saw this small building, I was surprised, but there are no living people on Manggu Mountain, how can there be a small building? I'm weird.

So with curiosity in my heart, I decided to find out. The ghosts may find us, but I have the element of fire, and I don't believe I can deal with them.

Helian Xiaoxiao also said worriedly: "Otherwise, Brother Qin, let's change the route a little and bypass it." ”

I shook my head and said, "No, we can't go around, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the depths of Manggu Mountain in the next few days." I always felt that there was something waiting for us in the depths of Manggut Mountain, and we had to go there as soon as possible. ”

Seeing that I insisted, Sun Rang and Helian stopped talking.

At this time, the civet in Helian's little arms suddenly made a "squeak" sound, and it jumped on Helian's small shoulder, its paws pointing in the direction behind.

"What's going on, what does this little guy seem to have discovered?" Sun Rang exclaimed.

I said, "It shouldn't be a ghost, let's go, let's take a look!" ... Now it is daytime and you can't directly enter this barren meadow, and you have to wait until night to get in. ”

Then, taking Sun Rang and Helian Xiaoxiao, the three of us followed the guidance of the civet cat, and walked towards the right front of the woods.

Before I could wait, how far I walked out, there was a sound of "hula la" in front of me.

I listened closely, and it seemed... The footsteps of a man running are powerful.

"It should be one person, it could be that Zhang Wenbing!" I guessed, "Don't make a sound, let's hide." ”

"Okay." Then the three of us ran to the bottom of a dirt slope and hid. The grass here is dense and not easy to spot.

In a short time, the sound of running footsteps approached, and there was a heavy wheezing sound.

Soon, a figure appeared in the sight of the three of us. The figure looked behind him as he ran, looking flustered, and his clothes were in tatters.

It's not Zhang Wenbing, it's actually ... Litao!

Li Tao was panting, his body looked weak, and he leaned against a tree.

"Damn, if you want to snatch Lao Tzu's jade plate, don't you think about it!" He cursed in annoyance.

However, I noticed that there was a strip of cloth wrapped around his chest, and a paw print was shockingly left on his chest. His clothes were thin and tattered, and he was about the same as a beggar.

The blood had stained the clothes on his chest red, and his strong muscles were slightly exposed.

"Yes, Captain! He's still over there. Helian said with a small exclamation.

At this time, more voices suddenly came from behind Li Tao. Li Tao glanced back, swallowed and spit, supported the tree next to him with one hand, and ran towards us quickly. He didn't notice us, though.

"Squeak, squeak!"

As if sensing something again, the civet jumped onto the tree. It was constantly waving its claws, and it looked restless.

"What's going on, how can this little guy's reaction be so big?" Sun Rang was a little puzzled.

I said, "It should be the ghost corpses chasing Li Tao, and there are quite a few of them. ”

After thinking about it, I took out the jade plate from my arms and handed it to Sun Rang, "Brother, you help me collect the jade card first, and I'll help Li Tao." ”

Sun Rang was a little surprised, but he still took my jade plate and carefully stuffed it into his arms.

At this time, Li Tao had not much strength left. He didn't run a few steps, and with a "poof", his body fell to the ground. Still, he was holding on, trying to get up from the ground.

"I want to get the quota of the executor, I Li Tao will not fail, no!" He gritted his teeth fiercely, and his gaze became extremely resolute. But at this time, the ghost corpses behind had already rushed up, and there were more than a dozen of them.

Although there are no red-haired ghosts among them, there are quite a few of them. It is obviously impossible to deal with the injured Li Tao alone.
