Chapter 19: The Grave Keeper
"Be merciful!"
Just as Zhang Huanqing was about to make a move, an urgent shout came from behind a snowdrift not far behind them.
Zhang Huanqing sneered, and then stopped his movements. In fact, he had already sensed that someone was following them, but that person was well hidden, and he couldn't find the person's location accurately several times, this time it was basically unintentional, and he really planned to kill the snow monkey, but he didn't expect to get rid of such a person.
The person who came out from behind the snowdrift was tightly wrapped, only a pair of eyes leaked outside, and those eyes made Zhang Huanqing feel particularly familiar.
"Who are you? Why follow us. Zhang Huanqing looked at the person in front of him coldly, and asked in a cold voice.
"You don't care who I am, I just hope you don't kill it, and then hurry down the mountain, this is not the place you should be." The tightly wrapped man spoke in a particularly calm voice, without any fear at all.
"Why should we listen to you? We have to go up the mountain, and as for this snow monkey, we have no intention of keeping it alive. Along the way, the magic sparrow in Zhang Huanqing's hand mercilessly stabbed directly at the snow monkey struggling on the ground.
"Wait! I say! The man shouted.
Zhang Huanqing stopped the demon sparrow stabbing downward, and then looked at the person not far away from him with a smile, "You see why you have to do this, it's over." ”
That person didn't have a chance to Zhang Huanqing's words, but took off the thick scarf on his head by himself.
When he took off the white scarf, the face he revealed made Zhang Huanqing, Hou Zifeng and Zhang Man stunned.
"How are you!"
They all knew the person in front of them, because this person was Zhou Tieniu they met in the village below the mountain.
"Why can't it be me?" Zhou Tieniu smiled and asked rhetorically.
Yes, why can't it be people, they have never asked what people are doing, in saying that, the road is facing the sky, each side of the road, this is the way up the mountain here, and it is normal to encounter it.
"Let's talk about it, I've paid attention to you several times, and every time you've been dodged, why do you want to follow us." Zhang Huanqing just returned to his normal state after being stunned for a while, and asked coldly.
"In order to save you, and save Xiaoyu!" Zhou Tieniu still had that smile, "You shouldn't come here, this place is far more dangerous than you think, I persuaded Xiaoyu before, but he didn't listen to me, and there were too many people at that time, and I didn't show him my identity, until you came here, I didn't follow you." ”
"Why should we trust you?" Hou Zifeng looked at Zhou Tieniu with disdain.
"Just because I am the grave keeper here, our family has been the grave keeper here for generations." Zhou Tieniu calmly looked at Hou Zifeng and Zhang Huanqing, and Zhang Man said a word.
The three of them all widened their eyes, looking at Zhou Tieniu in front of them and couldn't speak for a while, what age is it, and there is still such a thing as a tomb keeper? This shocked the three of them.
"You... What evidence do you have. After thinking about it, Hou Zifeng asked with some disbelief.
"I don't have proof, because we are guarding this ancient tomb not to let others rob it, but to prevent the contents from escaping." He looked at Hou Zifeng lightly, "I know that you are tomb robbers, and my father also told me before, he should be talking about you, you have been here once, and finally returned injured." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhang Huanqing, "I think you've seen the things inside, and you know how dangerous he is, so I don't want you to venture in." ”
"No! Brother Guosheng is still inside, we must bring out his intentions, otherwise we will not leave. Zhang Man hurriedly said, he was afraid that Zhou Tieniu's words would make Zhang Huanqing have any concerns, after all, he had been hurt by the monsters in it.
Zhang Huanqing glanced at Zhang Man, "What he said is right, we are going to save our friends, I hope you don't stop us, otherwise, I will do it." ”
"Alas! It's not that I underestimate you, I think you have seen the power of this snow spirit when you came here before, even you haven't been able to escape, Xiao Yu's small body is estimated to be enough, and in this big snowy mountain, only me and my family will not be hurt here, so I want you to go back. Unless, you hit me. Saying this, Zhou Tieniu's eyes became particularly sharp.
"Come on, it's useless to talk too much, we're in a hurry, just me." Hou Zifeng stood up, handed the backpack on his body to Zhang Huanqing, and rushed directly towards Zhou Tieniu.
Zhou Tieniu didn't expect Hou Zifeng to be so decisive, when he thought of blocking, it was already too late Hou Zifeng had already come to his eyes, but he saw a straight fist that hit him.
Zhou Tieniu was not ambiguous at all, crossed his arms, and directly blocked the front, in his eyes, it was not a strange thing for young people to be able to fight twice, and there were too many flaws in Hou Zifeng's movements, he did not attack but chose to defend.
But when Hou Zifeng's fist fell on his arms, his thoughts changed, from disdain at the beginning, to the current shock, after the fist hit his arms, a huge force came, and he tried his best to block it, but that huge force still made him take a few steps back.
"Are you still coming? I'm just a tentative punch, we just want to go up to our friends. Hou Zifeng said lightly. He was right, he didn't give his all at all, he knew that the other party was a practitioner, so he just wanted to go up and test it to see how strong the other party was.
"Forget it, I'm no match for you, but I hope to go with you, because there are so many snow spirits on this mountain, and if I'm here, I can keep them from hurting you." Although he lost, Zhou Tieniu was still ready to go with them.
"Can you really do it?" Zhang Huanqing asked with some suspicion.
Zhou Tieniu nodded, and then walked towards the snow monkey struggling in the snow, no, it should be Xue Ling.
He pulled out the tooth-like pendant from his clothes, and shook it in front of the snow spirit's eyes.
What surprised Zhang Huanqing happened, the Xue Ling, who was originally struggling, slowly calmed down after seeing the tooth-like pendant, and then stretched out his claws and rubbed back and forth on Zhou Tieniu's body.
"I'm familiar with most of the snow spirits on this mountain!"
