The judge walked up to the eight-legged golden crow, walked around it carefully, and pondered for a moment, "I think this is frightened!" ”

"What's going on?" The commander also looked around the golden crow, but didn't see anything.

"This spirit beast is not more than ordinary beasts, born with a great warning of danger, otherwise the spirit beast will not be so difficult to catch, this eight-legged golden crow has a docile personality and high vigilance, they are not good at fighting, but the ability to escape in a single round is first-class, they can fly and run, and it is not easy for ordinary fierce beasts to catch them. As you can see, it must have a premonition that there was danger ahead and was frightened, so it did not dare to move forward. The judge said and looked into the distance, his eyes half-squinted.

"So what are we going to do now?" Bailing asked.

"Listen to the wind, you listen to what is going on around here, I study the map, the front is surrounded by mountains, the trees are lush, and the next road, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk!" The judge picked up the map in his hand and began to check the terrain.

It was already approaching dusk, and the sunset was like a naughty child, showing half of his face on the hill, as if he was peeking at them secretly, snickering at their bad luck.

But what they don't know is that this is just the beginning.

"Judge, there's nothing unusual around, just a little strangely quiet. Can't even hear the birds?"

The judge thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, we can't stay here, let's go, let's find a place to rest first, and then go to the Misty Forest tomorrow after we are ready." ”

After listening to the judge's words, everyone began to pack their bags.

Because the carriage has been damaged, the eight-legged golden crow is basically useless, the coachman looked at Shu Lanruo who was protected by Bai Ci in his arms, hesitated, and said, "Young master, it's better to let the eight-legged golden crow carry the book girl, and you can't always let you hold her, right?" ”

Bai Ci thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Old Ma, you take the eight-legged golden crow back to Bai's house first, the golden crow was frightened, and it is estimated that he will not go any further, and we will walk over the rest of the way, you go back and prepare the carriage, and then come here to wait for us to return." ”

Hearing the vain consideration, the coachman had no choice but to return early with the eight-legged golden crow.

This place was not very far from the Misty Forest, and the judge studied the map and knew that there was a small village here and before the Misty Forest.

At the suggestion of the judge, the group decided to go to this small village to rest first, and then set off tomorrow to recuperate.

After assigning the outfits, the Bai family's guard said to Bai Ci, "Young master, let the little one carry it, it will be hard for you to take her on the road." ”

Originally, Bai Ci still felt that Shulanruo in his arms was a little heavy, but when he heard the guard's words, he looked at Shulanruo in his arms again and thought; Although he didn't want to take Shulanruo with him, she was a girl's family, and if she carried it on the back of a guard, it would damage her reputation.

So Bai Ci decided to be compassionate to defend Shu Lan Ruo's reputation and endorse Lan Ruo himself.

Of course, in Bai Ci's eyes, his closeness to Shu Lanruo will not affect Shu Lanruo's reputation at all, after all, he believes that Shu Lanruo is a brother-like existence for him, and there is no gender distinction with him.

Before dark, the group finally arrived at the small village marked on the map.

The village looks old, and many of the houses look a little old, and some of them are dilapidated.

Bai Ci frowned and looked at this village with a dissatisfied expression, since he was born until now, he had never lived in such a rotten place, which was simply unacceptable to him in his heart.

But to everyone's surprise, there is a relatively small inn in this village, and there is no such place as an inn in ordinary villages, and the judge originally planned to find a farmhouse to stay overnight.

Since there was an inn, everyone decisively ran to the inn, and a dozen or so people actually packed the inn.

Because the room is limited, only two or three people can be squeezed into one room, originally Shulan was going to be assigned to Tingfeng and Bailing's room, but he refused to do so, he didn't worry about handing over Shulanruo to anyone at all.
