Chapter 23: Back to the Village
In the rush of the stars and the moon, the group finally gradually walked out of the Xuanhuang Mountain Range, looked up and looked forward, the lights were bright in the distance, and the outline of the village could be faintly seen.
"Finally back!" Shi Hu and a group of other big men also laughed, there was relief and nostalgia in their smiles, this is the place where they were born and raised, no matter how good and beautiful the outside is, it can't compare to the warmth at home, for them who are hunters who wander on the verge of death all year round, this warmth is especially precious.
The group continued to move forward, but the mood was obviously a lot brighter, and after a while, the familiar village entrance reappeared, but to everyone's surprise, the village chief Xu Yunfeng stood at the village entrance with many villagers, as if waiting for everyone to return.
"Dad, village chief!" Su Yun saw Su Xiangtian and the old village chief standing at the entrance of the village, and hurriedly waved his hand in the direction of the village entrance.
"Okay, I'm finally back safely!" Xu Yunfeng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and the boulder in their hearts finally fell, and the worst thing that didn't happen was the best thing.
But when they saw the blood stains on everyone's bodies and the instability, they still couldn't help but ask, before the hunting team went up the mountain, they rarely suffered such serious injuries.
In this regard, Shi Hu said roughly what had happened in the past few days.
"What? The legendary demon land has you encountered?" The old man in the village was surprised, he didn't expect this strange demon land to really exist.
"This is the sacred mountain of the primeval times, and there must be many unknown secrets, so you must be careful when you go up the mountain in the future. ”
Everyone was frightened, that piece of demonic land had not appeared in the past thousand years, and they never thought that they would actually encounter it this time.
Later, when they heard that the people from the Crazy Knife Gate wanted to kill people and seize things, many villagers scolded: "The people from the Crazy Knife Gate died well, damn it, dare to come and rob our things, and they are innocent." ”
"Fortunately, everyone worked hard and finally got their lives back. ”
Even though it has passed, Shi Hu and the others still have a chill in their backs when they think about it now, and it is really not peaceful to go up the mountain this time.
Many people looked at the teenager with strange faces, but it is conceivable that it is so dangerous to go up the mountain this time, and the teenager has become a great burden.
But they are not easy to say, but everything they think can be clearly seen in their eyes.
"Everyone, I apologize for him, I have bothered to do so. Su Xiangtian said to Shi Hu and the others apologetically, after all, it was the first time his son entered the mountain, and no one expected to encounter so many things.
However, when Shi Hu and the others heard that the color behind them began to be unnatural, did they drag their feet?
That doesn't seem right.
So, Shi Hu planned to tell the villagers about Su Yun's performance this time, so that the young man could have a long face in front of everyone and improve his inherent opinion of the young man.
But just as he was about to say some of the things Su Yun had done, he found that the latter was shaking his head at him, so he stopped talking, and at the same time he also figured it out, even if he said it, these people wouldn't really believe it if they didn't see it with their own eyes, so he gave up.
In line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, Shi Hu still said euphemistically: "Brother Su, Yun boy has performed well in the mountains this time, he learns things very quickly, he knows how to do a lot of things after listening to them, and he helped us a lot on the way, we were able to return with a full load this time, Su Yun's credit is not small, this is not something I just said, the old brothers in the hunting team can testify." ”
After everyone heard this, their expressions became even more weird, this kid, has such a great ability?
Some of the teenagers below couldn't help but mutter, "Cut, this short-lived creature is so powerful? Doesn't it mean that his cultivation path has come to an end and he has become a complete waste?"
"Shhhhhh
Su Yun's expression was still the same, but deep down he laughed at himself, it seemed that he was an outlier in the eyes of many people, rejected by others, and had never integrated into them.
But he doesn't care, he doesn't need to integrate into them, there are not many friends, and two or three confidants in life are enough.
"Yes, that's really bothering the big brothers to help me watch this kid, after all, he's not very worry-free. After Su Xiangtian heard Shi Hu's words, he was inevitably a little proud in his heart, his son was indeed stronger than his own father.
Greeting everyone, Xu Yunfeng smiled at Su Yun and said: "Okay, everyone is very tired from entering the mountains these days, hurry up and go home to rest, child, hurry up and follow your father home, it is estimated that your mother has been talking about you for the past few days." ”
Su Yun rubbed the back of his head and said loudly, "Okay, I'll go back immediately." ”
After saying goodbye to everyone, the father and son walked down the street.
Su Xiangtian glanced at the scimitar behind Su Yun's back, and asked with a smile: "Son, what will you do in the face of doubts in the future?"
Su Yun didn't speak, just stretched out a hand that was clenched into a fist.
Seeing this, Su Xiangtian nodded and stopped talking, because his son had already given the best answer.
It wasn't long before the two returned home.
"Mother, I'm back. Su Yun said to Han Yu.
"Yun'er, hurry up and let my mother see, these days you have been in the mountain, my mother has been worried, for fear of some accidents, God willing, you finally came back safely, you look at the weight loss. Han Yu took his son's hand and looked at it carefully, as if he hadn't seen him for a long time.
"Okay, let him rest first, it is estimated that he has been walking a lot of mountain roads in the mountains in the past few days, and he should not rest well. Su Xiang was naturally afraid that the woman's conversation would not be finished, so he hurriedly spoke.
Su Yun turned his head, took out the bright red spirit flower, spread his palm to Su Xiangtian, and said, "Dad, I have picked the bone flower and the quenching grass, tomorrow you ask your mother to help you boil the bone flower, it should be very useful for your legs." ”
Su Xiangtian stared blankly at the raw bone flower in the young man's hand, he knew that this raw bone flower belonged to a cherished elixir, it was difficult to see in the mountains, even if he saw it, there must be a fierce beast guarding it, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to pick it.
"How did you pick it up?" the man was in disbelief.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Yun explained: "Uncles help me, Dad, you also know how powerful that black ape is, and it is not something that ordinary people can deal with." ”
But he didn't say the next sentence: "It's really powerful, it almost hurt me." ”
Hearing his words, Su Xiangtian breathed a sigh of relief, if his son went up to pick it, how could he be embarrassed by his father's love.
After talking to the two of them about entering the mountain, he returned to his house, where the mysterious stone was still on his table, and he walked over and cut a small wound on his hand, and blood continued to drip on its surface.
Su Yun was surprised to find that whenever his blood dripped on the stone, it quickly disappeared, as if something had been absorbed.
He didn't think it was like that, but now he felt weird.
He spat and thought to himself, "What is there living in here, should you break your promise and throw it into the pit?"
But think about it, forget it, who let this thing be lucky and meet a good person who keeps his promises.
As the blood continued to drip down, the surface of the stone gradually emitted a white light, but after a few moments, the light dimmed again, and the familiar voice sounded again.
"I dare to say, I didn't expect you to really dare to do it, and you really dare to bet on the possibility of life and death. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Su Yun's mouth twitched: "It's just life and death, it doesn't make much difference to me whether to bet or not, I have promised you before, this thing still has to be done." ”
Wiping the blood on his wrist, Su Yun suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, can you help me..."
"No, you can't. A fluttering voice from inside the stone interrupted him.
Su Yun's face immediately fell, and he said sullenly: "Don't you listen to what I say, it's a shame that I finally have a little trust in you now." ”
"Hehe, you're not blushing?"
Hearing it say this, Su Yun coughed dryly, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
That is, when Su Yun looked depressed, Shi Shi said: "What do you want to do, you might as well tell me first." ”
"Huh? ”
Su Yun blinked and looked at the stone in surprise, he didn't expect it to really agree.
"No more than ten words. ”
Su Yun was not surprised by the stone's words, but he still held on to hope, crossed his fingers, kept compressing the sentence in his heart, and finally said tentatively: "Can you help me hatch an egg?"
“......”
When his voice fell, he saw that the light on the stone was dimming, which made the corners of his mouth twitch, and there seemed to be something wrong with his expression just now, so he hurriedly said the previous things completely, but how about it, at least express the meaning clearly first.
After explaining everything clearly, Su Yun was silently waiting for a reply next to him, whether he refused or agreed, he was mentally prepared.
Finally, after half an hour, a voice came from the stone: "Forget it, I'll make an exception to help you this time." ”
After Su Yun heard the other party's promise, he hurriedly put on a smiling face, thanked him, and then took the egg out of the storage bag and put it on the table.
Seeing that the light moved, the beast egg on the table was sucked into it by the stone, Su Yun became more and more curious about the mysterious creatures inside, so he spoke: "Senior, show your face, don't worry, whether you are human or not, now I am quite confident in my ability to bear it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's eyes went dark, and he was instantly unconscious.
