Chapter 380: Infiltrating the Dragon Vein (Part I)
At dusk, Mu Shi and his entourage saw the town in Qianfengli's mouth, strictly speaking, it was more like a village, and the houses were scattered and haphazard, hidden among the trees, which looked very idyllic and comfortable.
At the main entrance of the town there is a large reddish-brown rock, carved into the image of a turtle, and indeed a snake on its tail. On his back is a stone tablet of the same color, and the words "ochre town" are written on the dragon's flying phoenix.
This rock carving is full of the breath of time, and it should be the legendary mythical beast Earth Xuanwu in the town. When I got closer, I found that the stone tablet of Xuanwu was carved with dense small characters, and I didn't know what it represented, and a vicissitudes of life and solemn temperament came to my face.
Qianfengli also rarely became serious, and his expression was a little heavy, "The names on this are all ancestors who came out of the academy to resist the demons and sacrificed. ”
Mu Shi was a little moved, there are so many names, there are tens of thousands at a glance. Shouldn't this just be a college that nurtures talent? After thinking about it, who would build an ordinary academy in the Death Mountain Range, a ghost place where birds do not cross, since this Ochre Academy has produced a strong person like the Emperor of Tianming, I am afraid that the purpose of its establishment is much more high-end.
This would explain why the Ochre Academy is hidden on the mainland.
The group was infected by the tragic atmosphere of this stone tablet, and they were speechless for a while. Not long after, a group of people ran out of the town, all dressed in black suits and red cloaks, with a long and sharp breath, and they were all very young, only the leader was an uncle.
The uncle fell down with the long sword in his hand, glanced at it a little nervously, paused for a moment when he saw Mu Shi, and finally stopped at Mo Long and Qianfengli, and said with concern, "Are you okay?" I've heard from you in the hospital, and I'm planning to rescue with the law enforcement team. ”
Mo Long shook his head, a flash of grief flashed in his eyes, "There are two students who didn't survive. ”
"What!?" The uncle of the law enforcement team couldn't help but raise his voice, his eyes were full of anger, "What a demon!" It seems that we have been too low-key over the years, which has made them more and more bold! ”
"Tsk, people are ambitious, and outspoken agreements are only something that the weak will follow." Qianfengli snorted softly, his eyes full of mockery and anger.
"Looks like they're really planning to tear up the agreement." The uncle of the law enforcement team was stunned when he heard this, and then calmed down and said in a deep voice, "This matter must be reported to the hospital as soon as possible, and the recent activities of the procurement team must be canceled." ”
Mo Long nodded expressionlessly, raised his hand and pointed at Andrew and his party, "I was able to come back safely this time thanks to this mercenary team, I am afraid that the demons will hold a grudge and plan to keep them in the town for a while." ”
The uncle of the law enforcement team looked at it, and saw that Andrew's team was in a stable spirit, and couldn't help but nod appreciatively, "In this way, your group is still the benefactor of the academy, so it is naturally okay." ”
Andrew smiled, "This teacher is serious, we also use people's money to eliminate disasters for others." ”
"Don't be modest, in these extraordinary times, any mercenary group will give up when they hear about the horror of this mission." The uncle of the law enforcement team smiled slightly, "The energy here is special, which is of great benefit to cultivation, and it can be regarded as a kind of gratitude to you." Erhao. ”
"Yes." A hearty young man stepped out of the queue and walked up to the uncle of the law enforcement team and said respectfully, "What does the boss command?" ”
"I'll leave the food and lodging arrangements for these people here to you, remember, he's the benefactor of our Ochre Academy." The uncle of the law enforcement team instructed solemnly.
"Yes, please rest assured, Boss." The youth nodded.
"Okay, let's go back to the academy as soon as possible, the higher-ups attach great importance to this matter, and now they will be busy." The uncle of the law enforcement team sighed and said to Mo Long.
"Well, these children have also been scared for so long, let them rest first." Tutor Mo Long looked indifferent, but his heart was soft.
So the group said goodbye to Andrew's team and got up and flew towards the academy behind the town.
Only the named young man stayed, and he couldn't see clearly when he saw the group fly away, so he retracted his gaze and changed to a bright smile, "Hello big brothers and sisters, my name is Ning Erhao, and I am a member of the law enforcement team of Ochre Academy!" ”
"What big sister, what kind of screaming is so ugly, Mu Qi and I look younger than you!" Erin glanced at her angrily, and jumped up and down to Mu Shi's side, hugged Mu Shi's waist and smiled, "Mu Qi, are you right?!" ”
"Uh......" Mu Shi was stunned for a while before he realized that Erin was calling herself, and nodded to comply with the other party's meaning.
Er Hao immediately put on a flattering smile, "The two are beautiful sisters, please don't remember the villain." My sisters must be tired all the way, so I'll take you to rest. ”
"That's pretty much it, lead the way!" Erin raised her chin and said proudly. Seeing that Andrew shook his head helplessly, walked to Er Hao's side and said, "Little brother, don't be surprised, my daughter is spoiled by me, so I bother you to take us to rest." ”
"Father!" Erin pursed her lips in displeasure, very dissatisfied with her father for saying that she was not good in front of others.
Er Hao is also a person who can do things, and he didn't dare to be careless about this group leader, who was not much different from the previous mentors, and immediately waved his hand, "Uncle the head of the group is polite, this is what I should do." ”
Then Yu Hao led the mercenary group into the town, placed the group in an empty wooden building, and brought various daily necessities before and after the saddle. Andrew saw that Yu Hao was working so hard, so he sent David and a few other young people to accompany him.
It's a small town, but it's all about it. Since most of the residents were reluctant to leave the town after graduating from the Ochre Academy, and had developed over time after starting a family here, most of the residents were cultivators, and even if they opened shops, most of them traded for barter.
Fortunately, the mercenary group is rich, and they can basically get what they want.
After a walk, I gained a lot. Mu Shi also discovered that this town should be the first line of defense of the Ochre Academy, and the residents here are not low in cultivation, and they love the Ochre Academy very much, and the life of generations in this isolated place can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.
Due to Yi Hao's propaganda all the way, the whole town also knew that Mu Shi and his party were benefactors who protected the students from the encirclement and suppression of the demons, and the residents who were originally very vigilant were very friendly and enthusiastic to Mu Shi and his party. Mu Shi also took this opportunity to ask about the basic situation here, and combined with the map given by his aunt, he roughly spelled out the situation of the entire academy.
After coming back from purchasing, Mu Shi went back to the allocated room to rest. The whole wooden building is very large, and there are more than a dozen rooms, which seem to be used for reception itself.
After casting a large-scale light magic, and driving for such a long time, Mu Shi was also tired, and now that he had arrived safely at the Ochre Academy, he was not in a hurry, so he slept enough.
This sleep lasted until the third pole of the moon.
Mu Shi, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and saw Shen Tan squatting at the head of the bed, staring at him with a pair of different pupils.
"Wow, Shen Tan, what are you doing, you are acting like a ghost!" Mu Shi was so shocked that he sat up directly, patted his chest and complained.
Shen Tan licked his little paws, and the three-petal mouth spat out, "I saw you sleeping like a pig, and I want to know how long you can sleep." ”
"Tsk." Mu Shi stretched out his hand and pressed Shen Tan's head, "You can't spit out ivory in your dog's mouth!" ”
"I'm not a dog in the first place." Shen Tan shook his head and corrected.
"It's just a metaphor!" Mu Shi suddenly felt a little tired, but he still asked Shen Tan to shut up and sleep well.
Shen Tan tilted his head, looked at Mu Shi and said, "Aren't you going to detoxify that guy?" Now you're in no hurry? ”
Mu Shi said angrily when he heard this, "Can't I take a break?" Besides, there are many strong people in this place, and even if I find the dragon vein, I don't know how to let the northern night enter without being discovered. ”
"That's a problem." Shen Tan moved his ears, "This academy looks like it's going to be against the demons, if you know that a demon clan comes in, you can't pick your skin and cramp?" ”
Mu Shi became even more irritable when he heard this, and he sighed and smashed his head into the pillow. Shen Tan was depressed when he saw Mu, and he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, so he jumped to the window and looked at the moon and flicked his tail to think.
After being silent for a moment, Mu Shi still sat up, "No matter what, I have to find out where the eye of the dragon vein is first, otherwise when the time of the northern night comes, I will be even more busy." ”
Shen Tan glanced back and said quietly, "Isn't the dragon vein easy to find?" ”
Mu Shi was stunned, and suddenly fell on Shen Tan's body, hugged Shen Tan and rubbed it, "Yes, why did I forget your intelligent treasure hunting machine!" ”
"If you move your hands and feet again, I will bite you to death." Shen Tan struggled and pressed one paw on Mu Shi's face, his tone gloomy and threatening.
Mu Shi let go of his hand, "Who made you like to become a cat, you see that even that water martial artist can't help but want to touch you." ”
"Hmph." Shen Tan snorted coldly, his ears trembled and reddened unconsciously, "If it weren't for the fact that my body hasn't grown up, do you think I'm willing to become a cat all day long?!" ”
"It's good, it's cute." Mu Shi coaxed.
"I don't want to be cute!" Shen Tan fried hair.
"It's good, it's not cute, it's not cute..... So handsome big tiger, can you tell me where the dragon veins are? Mu Shi folded his hands helplessly and prayed.
Shen Tan flicked his tail, closed his eyes and began to release his natural ability, the milky white brilliance flowed all over his body, and Shen Tan turned into a glowing cat at this moment.
After a while, Shen Tan opened his eyes, still maintaining a glowing appearance, raised his paw and pointed directly below the moon, "The aura there is dry, but I can vaguely sense that there is a pure and huge energy deep underground, which should be where the eye of the dragon vein is." ”
Mu Shi hugged Shen Tan in surprise and kissed him, and praised, "There is a cat in the house, if there is a treasure!" Awesome. ”
"Hmm......" Shen Tan surprisingly didn't blow up his hair again, but his pink little ears kept shaking, and he was a little embarrassed, "I can only judge the general direction, if you get closer, you need to continue to sense, let's go now." ”
"It's the middle of the night, and it's good for this." Mu Shi nodded, picked up Shen Tan and jumped out of the window.
