Chapter 64: Returning Home
"Click.. Click.."
With the sound of chewing, the overlord salamander seemed to be unable to eat, as long as Zhang Ze fed, it kept eating.
The effect of such a process can be imagined.
After Liao Jie finished cooking the fourth pot of food, the favorability of the overlord salamander changed from "friendly" to "trusting" under Zhang Ze's observation.
【Overlord Salamander】
Identity: Reader
Age: Unknown
Goblins: 10%
Alien Beasts: 60%
[Xianxia: 30%]
In Zhang Ze's careful feeding, the overlord salamander also became a member of the literary club.
Of course, this is still the salamander's way of thinking is relatively simple, and it also has animal instincts, which will temporarily have "dependence" on the person who feeds it, and then develop a simple relationship of trust.
However, this is to be fed by other people, this method is a bit undesirable, it is estimated that after eating this meal, if the salamander is not full, it will instantly "change its face" and eat the person who feeds it.
But under the premise of having a system, Zhang Ze doesn't have to worry about such a "farmer raising snakes" and "twists and turns" story.
"Another member of the literary club."
After reading the various information of the salamander, Zhang Ze showed a smile on his face, and walked forward to touch the salamander.
But the moment the palm of his hand was placed on the salamander's colorful scales, Zhang Ze felt a smooth and cold touch, and at the same time, he could also feel that there seemed to be a "qi" hovering on the scale armor, which was very hard.
"Is this Reiki?" Zhang Ze was curious for a moment and explored carefully.
And this energy is indeed a kind of aura.
It was it that stayed in the original world for an unknown amount of time, which caused the "water vapor" and "evil qi" of the cave below to enter the body, making the salamander unconsciously become a "spirit".
Subsequently, under its instinct, it integrated this aura into the surface of its body to increase its self-preservation ability, and it is no wonder that it is as fearless and invulnerable as the book says.
It's just that this momentum is too little, and it can't compare to Ye Daochang's "half-step qi training".
However, the salamander's body is too big, and its natural physique is much stronger than Ye Daochang, so even the Ye Dao Chang who is "practicing qi" is not its opponent now.
But it can also prove that the animals in the world of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", as long as they live enough to be old, have basically become essences, and they are still the kind whose physique far exceeds that of ordinary people. It's just that they live in ancient tombs or underground caves all year round, which leads to their somewhat single-minded thinking, and they are often wiped out by Hu Bayi and others.
To put it bluntly, this may be the way of heaven to be selfless, gain some, always lose some, and achieve a so-called "balance".
"President, has it become our colleague?"
While Zhang Ze was thinking about the "aura thing", Qi Qian next to him saw that the overlord salamander was so well-behaved, and he also followed Zhang Ze's example and patted its head in a decent way.
"Hiss." The Overlord Salamander glanced up at him, as if after confirming something, he lowered his head again, and completely forgot about Qi Qian's use of it to practice boxing.
"It's so cute!" After Xiao Zhi saw that the salamander was no longer attacking, she also touched the salamander's hideous head.
"Squeak.." The treasure hunting rat also circled around the salamander, as if to let the salamander play with him, but unfortunately its size was too small for the salamander to see it.
"President Liao, the food you cook is the most delicious you have ever tasted!"
"Thank you Daoist Ye for your love!"
Ye Daochang and Liao Jie sat outside the open space, eating and chasing each other.
Zhang Ze didn't think about anything else in their trouble, but after glancing at the salamander, he took out his mobile phone and opened the chat group.
It's just that as soon as I started calling, there was no signal in the display of the mobile phone.
However, because the chat group is under the rules of the system, it is not affected by the signal network, as long as the readers of the chat group are in the depths of the earth, or in the outer space of the universe, they can talk freely.
Of course, the premise is that you can get to that place and still be alive to type.
(President: Zhang Daming, find a truck and drive to the native forest, I sent the location.) Zhang edited a message, sent it to the group, and then looked at the ten-meter-long body of the salamander hugging the two of them.
After his visual inspection.
The commercial vehicle in the parking lot must not be able to fit the ten-meter-long salamander, because it is coiled and almost the size of a commercial vehicle.
"It's better to find a bigger car."
Zhang Ze thought about it, and left a message with Zhang Daming, and it didn't take long to see him, and after replying (good), he took everyone to find a way out.
And this way out, this is also easy to find.
When they were looking for the Overlord Salamander before, they basically ran all over the small half of the forest, and they also knew where there were few cameras, and there were also places where it was convenient for the salamander to go out.
Thereupon.
After everyone left the clearing, while cleaning up the traces, while avoiding the camera, through the dense forest, with the salamanders, it took a full five days, and finally came to this relatively remote location.
The sound of running water sounded, and it was a valley and a stream, and there was no fence.
Because the 30-meter-high hanging bank in front of everyone is inherently a fence separating the native forest from the outside world, and the only way to get out or get in is to cross the underground river of the unknown depth except for high-tech climbing equipment.
It was the second day of entering the forest, and when Zhang Ze and others were boiling water by the creek for cooking, they found a person who looked like a "poacher" swimming from the other end of the underground river, and only then did they know that the stream could lead to the "outside world".
"I swam more than 300 meters, and finally completed the exploration of this small river, and sure enough, it can lead to the native forest." These were the first words of the poachers when they surfaced that day.
But when the "poacher", or "explorer", then looked up and saw Zhang Ze cooking by the creek, their faces changed for a while, thinking that Zhang Ze was a forest worker, so without saying a word, he put on his mask again, dived into the river, and swam back, hoping that his appearance was not seen.
And it was also through this encounter that Zhang also knew that this place could lead to the "outside world".
So, there's not much to say.
Zhang Ze sent another message, through Zhang Daming, who was squatting outside the forest, after learning that there was no one outside the creek, he asked the salamander to "poof" and sneaked into the creek, looking for the river, swimming towards the outside world.
Of course, if there is someone in the river below, let him fend for himself.
After Zhang Ze and the others climbed the cliff, they followed the stream along the forest and came to a dirt road.
I didn't go far, and there was a car and a man in front of me.
"President. Alas.. You're finally here.." This person is Zhang Daming, he has been waiting here for three whole days, eating, drinking and lodging, all in the medium-sized truck next to him.
As a result, he was a little tired, and he yawned as he spoke, proving that he must not be as comfortable sleeping in the car as he slept in the car at night.
However, when he saw the salamander behind Zhang Ze, he was shocked, and his eyes widened.
"This is a snake? Or Jiao? He exclaimed as he looked at the limbed, multicolored scales, and a frog-like bulge on the top of its head. Although he had never seen a dragon, he still felt very much like the legendary "description of the dragon".
"Salamanders." Zhang seemed to answer, and asked Zhang Daming to open the rear compartment, and the salamander climbed in by itself.
When Zhang Ze came out of the forest, no one found anything, and the traces on the ground were very clean, all of them were shallow ditches, and there were no footprints, which made the staff think that it was a riot of a group of wild beasts.
After the salamander climbed into the truck, Qi Qian drove and Zhang Daming slept in the passenger seat. And the two of them traveled from south to north in the early years, went to the tomb, hauled goods, and had no money to hire a driver, so they would both drive a big car.
Zhang Ze and the others went to the back box, sat on the salamander, and used it as a seat, especially the raised scales on its scale armor, which can also be used as armrests, which are very strong.
"Daoist Ye, the salamanders are under your control."
The vehicle started, and on the way, Zhang Ze also assigned the salamander to Ye Daochang's jurisdiction.
Because since the salamander is a concrete image of Ye Daochang, it must be under the care of Ye Daochang.
But more importantly, there are many residents on the rental house, and the house is small, so it will definitely not fit, and Ye Daochang at least has a "mountain", Ye Daochang told Zhang Ze these things, so after Zhang Ze learned about it, he felt that he could raise the salamander in his Taoist temple.
"Okay." Daoist Ye was also very happy, nodded yes, and patted the salamander under him and said, "Fellow Daoist, we will depend on each other in the future."
It's quite boring for him to be alone in the mountains, especially now that he has learned about the world of words, he has also given up the so-called earthly prosperity, and it is better to stay in the mountains to cultivate.
Because there are mountains, water, and a lot of medicinal herbs, why not plant some fields?
Of course, Ye Daochang has not given up the idea of "going down the mountain after success".
However, he now has a Taoist friend who eats a lot of food, and these fields also need a variety of fields, and occasionally he has to go to the mountains to hunt with this "Taoist friend", so he has a lot of things.
So, these thoughts for the future were put down by him first.
"Anyway, every day at noon, poor Dao can enter the world of words to absorb 'aura' and turn it into his own cultivation. It is estimated that it will not be long before the poor road will reappear in the realm of the ancestors. At that time, the poor way will be known to the world, and my master will be known."
When Ye Daochang was thinking about his master's inheritance, he thought about it, but somehow, he suddenly sighed a little in his heart, remembering the master who left the elixir to himself, and was reluctant to impact the next realm, and then passed away.
"If the master can prolong his life for twenty years, he will definitely be able to enter the world of words, and he can also prolong his own life." After Ye Daochang remembered all the magic of the world of words, he became sad, and there were no words in the car, and he became silent.
And along the way, there was nothing to check on the road, because Zhang Daming had already sorted out all the relationships.
And just like that, as the day and the night passed.
The road was unimpeded, Qi Qian and Zhang Daming took turns, and drove the car to the foot of Daoguan Mountain of Ye Daochang in Lin City.
