Chapter 23: Road Encounters

"Stop, that's it for today, it's time to rest. Xiaocao, who walked in front, said.

"Why?" Ryuzawa took out a timing hourglass and looked at it, "It's still daytime!"

Because the Misty Forest is dark all year round, day and night are indistinguishable, and if you want to judge day and night, you can only rely on the hourglass.

"I know it's daylight, but this is the Misty Forest, not a place that can be understood by common sense. Xiaocao said as she took out the blanket and dry food and prepared to rest.

"Even so, you should give an explanation. Long Ze repeatedly restrained his temper.

"Please also ask Miss Xiaocao to give advice. Fang Li also wanted an explanation.

It's been seven days since they entered the Misty Forest, and along the way, Xiaocao has always stopped and stopped like this, and whenever she asks why, she always prevaricates with the phrase "This is the Misty Forest". Even if the two of them have good tempers, they have been polished, and today they have to have an explanation.

Xiaocao looked at them and said lightly: "Today is the new moon, every new moon, the fog in the misty forest will be extraordinarily thick, even during the day, in this case I am not sure that I can lead the way safely, are you satisfied with this explanation?" paused, "You are the most troublesome goods I have ever brought." ”

"What do you say" The first words are fine, but the latter sentence・・・・・・ Long Ze and Fang Li are a little unacceptable, goods, living people are actually compared to goods.

"This is jargon, all the leaders compare employers to goods, in other words, we don't treat you as employers at all, you and I are a relationship of money buying and selling, not a master-slave relationship, nor an equal relationship, in the misty forest, what the leader says is an absolute golden rule, if anyone does not follow it, then the consequences are at their own risk, don't you know?"

The two of them were suffocated, this is true, all travelers will make such an agreement when hiring the guide, and promise to fully abide by the leader's arrangement, and there will be no objections.

"I don't know how noble the two of you are, but I said that this is a misty forest that cannot be judged by common sense, whether you want it or not, you must obey my arrangement on this journey, you can go when I say go, stop when you say, you can't disobey it, if not, I don't mind leaving you here to feed the monsters." "Xiaocao is completely teaching children.

"You ・・・・・・" Long Ze just wanted to speak, Xiaocao raised his hand to stop him: "Shh, someone is coming." The two of them looked at Xiaocao's line of sight, but outside the white expanse, there was nothing, where was the person?

After a while, the sound of Suosuo sounded, and a figure appeared in the thick fog and walked towards them. Long Ze and the others looked at Xiaocao with some surprise, so far away, she could feel that someone was coming, and it was indeed worthy of its reputation.

At this time, the man had already walked up to them, clasped his fists at them and said, "Three, I passed by here, but I was obscured by the thick fog, and I couldn't tell the direction, I want to ask, how can I get out of this misty forest?" This person is none other than Yan, who has been training in the misty forest for two years, and when he speaks, he has been paying attention to the grass.

"It's so funny for a guy who has been in the Misty Forest for more than a year to tell me that he can't find his way and gets lost. Xiaocao sneered.

"This girl is the guide, isn't she?" Yan looked at Xiaocao, "I've been in the Misty Forest for a long time, but it's also true that I'm lost. ”

"To be lost in the Misty Forest for so long, still alive, Your Excellency is a good skill. "Xiaocao still has that attitude.

"I came to the Misty Forest for training, but for some reason, after I walked here, I always felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't get out. Yan said calmly.

"So you're looking for a guide to get you out of here?"

"Exactly, I wonder if you can bother the girl to take me for a ride?"

"Where do you want to go? Maybe we're not going the same way. Xiaocao did not deny it.

"I'm going to keep traveling, it doesn't matter where I'm going. "What a cultivator.

"Wait, I'm not in favor of him joining us. Long Ze, who had been listening to them, suddenly objected.

"You're worried that he has other plans, aren't you?" said Xiaocao, "don't worry, he's no threat to us. ”

"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with him. Fang Li also agreed with Xiaocao's statement, "Moreover, when you go out, everyone will have difficulties, so you can help." ”

"Well, that's it. Stretching out his palm to Yan, "Chenghui, a thousand gold coins." ”

"So expensive?" Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Miss Xiaocao is the best guide here, and this is the last time she will lead the way, so the fee is a little more expensive. Fang Li explained to Yan.

"That's right, but I don't have that many gold coins, can I use this instead?" he said, grabbing a monster corpse from the storage ring and handing it to Xiaocao.

"Deal" to assess the value of the corpse of the demonic beast, Xiaocao reached out and took it, and in a flash, he loaded it into his own space storage.

At this time, the other three saw that Xiaocao was not wearing any ornaments on her fingers, but she was wearing a bracelet about three centimeters wide on her wrist, which was inlaid with nine gems of different colors, and the material of the bracelet itself could not be seen, but the nine gems were genuine space crystals, which could be seen that this was a high-grade space storage.

"Since Miss Xiaocao has a space storage, why does she still have to carry her baggage?" Fang was puzzled.

"No, I like it. Xiaocao said with a smile.

"Miss Xiaocao seems to like money very much! I've known you for so many days, and I've only seen you smile sincerely, once now, and once when we paid you. Long Ze said sarcastically: "You can't be so snobbish. ”

Xiaocao looked at him, "Whether it's greedy for money or snobbery, you young master who grew up in a greenhouse won't understand." Jumping into the tree, "It's not so peaceful next, be careful yourself." "Regardless of the three people under the tree, they just closed their eyes and recuperated.
