I knew that the goddess was probably praying for me and Gao Lingkai, or blessings, and Gao Lingkai seemed to understand this.

So Gao Lingkai and I didn't dodge, and when the goddess retracted her hand, we both bowed and saluted the goddess.

I am really full of awe of this goddess who seems to know everything, and Gao Lingkai is probably the same.

After that, the goddess retreated to the hollow of the tree and sat down again.

The patriarch led us quietly away from the big tree until we were hundreds of meters away, and then stopped and bowed deeply to me and Gao Lingkai.

"If the two warriors can rescue my son, I will be a member of the clan, and I will feel the same virtue!"

"Don't say that!" I hurriedly stretched out my hand to hold the patriarch, "Bilopa was in danger because he kept the promise he made to me, and I can't sit idly by!" ”

The patriarch nodded, didn't say anything more at the moment, and led me to the bamboo building with Gao Lingkai.

First, he brought out the food and let Gao Lingkai and I have a full meal, and then the patriarch arranged for two strong clansmen to accompany us.

I glanced at the top of the bamboo tower and asked with a smile, "It was the goddess who asked the patriarch to put the holy relics on the bamboo tower, right?" ”

The patriarch let out an "ah" and looked at me in surprise, probably wondering why I could know this.

I smiled at him, and Gao Lingkai and I each put on our own backpacks, and two other clansmen led the way, still going out of the mountain from the path in front of the Divine Cave.

The patriarch led a few strong men and sent us to the mountain pass, and a few people bowed down on the ground, waiting for us to go away, before getting up and going back.

I looked in the direction of the two strong men, and sure enough, it was exactly the canyon that I was heading to, and I was even more convinced that my guess was correct.

"The goddess said that Biroba fell into the hands of the demon god, what does the so-called demon god mean?" Gao Lingkai asked me quietly.

I shook my head, I really couldn't even guess about it.

"If only your fairy could follow us like she did last time!" Gao Lingkai sighed infinitely.

Why don't I think so?

But that was just a delusion, but because Gao Lingkai mentioned it, it caused me to be infinitely concerned about Zhang Xiaoyun.

The goddess said that the ancestral soul went to the god, is Zhang Xiaoyun the same?

And what does this so-called "man of God" really mean?

The goddess also said that I would help the "man of God" to return to heaven, is there really a god in the world?

Why do the "Godmen" need my help when they return to Heaven?

And I'm just a mortal, how can I do such a thing?

These mysteries are really like a thick fog, not only can I not find the slightest answer, but the more I think about it, the more questions are involved.

"Ling Kai, I'm afraid our operation this time is even more difficult than last time! Last time, after all, Zhang Xiaoyun maintained it all the way, but now, we can only rely on our own strength. How many unknown and terrible things await us ahead, we can't predict or prevent them! ”

I did feel heavy in my heart. I'm afraid that if this trip hurts Gao Lingkai, it will also make my life uneasy.

"I understand!" Gao Lingkai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But it's those unknown things that are thrilling, aren't they?" Don't worry, the two of us will definitely save the day! ”

He was full of confidence and pride, and even I was affected by him, and I felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.

We hurried along, and by dusk we were not far from the canyon. I decided to stay and find a place to spend the night.

One of the two people who helped us guide us was from the "Zhisika" family, and although his tongue was cut out and he couldn't speak, he was able to understand me.

I knew that Gao Lingkai was a person who didn't worry about anything big, for fear that he would doze off again in the middle of the night, so I discussed with the two clansmen, and the three of us took turns to be on duty, and the two clansmen had no objection.

Thankfully nothing happened that night.

The next morning, we walked into the canyon and took precautions along the way.

At noon, after passing the narrow hole and walking out of the canyon at about three o'clock, Gao Lingkai and I were both relieved.

In the afternoon, I hurried a little more and was far away from the narrow hole. According to the two peoples, they are not very sure which direction to go.

Because the men of the "Zhisika" family couldn't speak, they could only compare with us, and it took us more than ten minutes to figure out what they meant.

Since the people didn't know where to go next, we had to set up camp first, and the two people went out to find food, and Gao Lingkai and I were responsible for collecting firewood and lighting a bonfire.

It took more than half an hour for the two tribesmen to drag back a wrist-thick python. There, the python was skinned bloodily and roasted over a campfire.

I've eaten snake meat in restaurants, and it's not very tasty, but it's not bad.

However, it is really difficult to swallow if it is roasted directly on the fire like this, and there are no seasonings to suppress the smell and astringency of the snake meat.

However, it is not the first time that Gao Lingkai and I have had such an experience, so even if it is difficult to swallow, we still bite the bullet and try to eat as much as possible.

I ate a few compressed biscuits given to us by the SWAT team members with water, and seeing that the sky was dark, Gao Lingkai probably thought that he didn't deliberately arrange for him to be on duty last night, and he was a little unhappy, so he volunteered to be on the first shift.

"Are you sure you won't doze off?" I'll ask him first.

"Don't worry!" Gao Lingkai smiled, "I'm a night owl, I can't sleep at home until twelve o'clock!" After twelve o'clock, the three of you will each be on duty for another two hours, and the day will be bright. ”

He had a point, and I was on the first shift last night, and he did talk to me until after eleven o'clock.

So I asked him to wake me up at eleven o'clock on the first shift, and then I shared the time with the two people.

The two tribesmen still maintained the simple habit of resting at sunset and sunrise, so they soon lay on the ground and snored.

And a modern person like me, no matter how good his living habits are, it is impossible to go to bed at eight o'clock.

However, I still leaned against a big tree, trying to close my eyes and recuperate, thinking about Meng Xiang and Zhang Xiaoyun in my heart.

Thinking about Meng Xiang, I don't know if I can wake up, and thinking about Zhang Xiaoyun I don't know if there is still a life.

Fang was a little dazed, and I felt that Gao Lingkai beside me suddenly sat up vigilantly, as if listening carefully, and then stood up.

I wasn't completely asleep in the first place, so I quickly opened my eyes.

It was at this time that Gao Lingkai began to quietly call me: "Gao Li, Gao Li, wake up!" ”

I got up with a grunt, approached Gao Lingkai, and whispered to him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Look, that black shadow, is it moving?"

I opened my eyes to look, and sure enough, there seemed to be a black shadow at the bottom of the hillside hundreds of meters away from us.

But now it is the beginning of the lunar calendar, and although there is a crescent moon hanging obliquely on the horizon, the light is really dim, and it is impossible to determine whether the bulge is a dirt-clad stone or something.

So I could only stare at the black shadow closely, for a while, I was about to tell Gao Lingkai that he was wrong, and suddenly, I also felt that the black shadow seemed to really move.

I was taken aback, and wanted to take out a flashlight to shine a picture of what the black shadow was, but I was afraid that if some beast or something rested down below, my photo would provoke it to rush up and attack us.

As he hesitated, the thing suddenly stood up from the ground.

It is not very large, and from a distance, it looks like a wolf or a leopard.

"Colliers, do you want to wake up the two people?" Gao Lingkai asked me in a low voice.

"I'm calling! Go and stir up the bonfire first, for all wild beasts will be afraid of fire! I said.

Gao Lingkai immediately squatted in front of the bonfire, keeping an eye on the black shadow with full vigilance while stirring the fire with a wooden stick.

I slowly approached the two people and kicked them awake with my foot.

One of the tribesmen was babbling as if he was nagging, but when he opened his eyes and saw that I was nervous, he closed his mouth in fright, and suddenly got up, and his eyes fell on the dark shadow I had been staring at.

The bonfire was lit up by Gao Lingkai, but the black shadow was so far away that we still couldn't see what kind of beast it was.

But I could faintly see that the firelight reflected on the dark shadow's eyes, emitting a faint light.

Wolf! I guess it's a wolf.

And my suspicions were quickly confirmed.

I saw the dark shadow raise its head and suddenly let out a "woo-woo-woo" call.

"It's a wolf, it's calling its companions!" I said immediately.

Honestly, I'd rather be a leopard, although a leopard is far more ferocious than a wolf, but a leopard is a solitary animal, and with four of us big men fighting a leopard, at least there is a better chance of winning.

But wolves are social creatures, especially when hunting, and the four of us can't resist them anyway.

And as the wolf "whined", other wild wolves around quickly responded with a "whining", and in this silent night, the empty wilderness only made people's hearts tremble.

"Colliers, what should I do?"

I didn't know what to do, so I set my sights on two people.

The two tribesmen have been in the mountains for a long time, so naturally it will not be the first time they have encountered hungry wolves. The two of them immediately looked at their surroundings and raised their hands to the left and pointed behind us.

I turned my face to look and saw a large tree in the left back, next to a steep rock.

The two tribesmen were the first to approach the tree, and quickly climbed to the tree, hand and foot.

In fact, the big tree that Gao Lingkai and I were leaning on just now was very strong, so Gao Lingkai immediately climbed up the tree.

But when the two people looked back and saw it, they looked very anxious, and called out to us.

"What are they talking about?" Gao Lingkai asked me.

"Probably let's climb up to that big tree with them!" I say.

"It's all trees, why do you have to climb them?" Gao Lingkai was very unconvinced.
