Chapter 36 Hunting
Wulin Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the reborn puppet is very popular with the latest chapter!
Mu Qing has been walking slowly by the hot spring, from the initial confusion of thoughts, to the later blank.
During this period, she thought of Rong Quan, thought of An Ruomu, thought of the men and women she saw when she first opened her eyes, and the spell that sounded in her ears over and over again. She even thought of Tiantian, the boss and the proprietress of the boss, and also thought of her determination to become an adult again when she was in the mountains.
It's just that what Xia Yuanshan said, is it true? How much is true? If he escaped from the northern kingdom with him, would he find a place where no one was around, help with cultivation, and help find a physical body? Or, Xia Yuanshan just made a puppet that no one had ever made, in fact, he himself didn't know if the trapped soul in the puppet could go out after cultivating to a certain level.
So many "ifs" and "maybes" made Mu Qing completely directionless, everyone said it like it was true, and everyone didn't look like someone who could be trusted.
Mu Qing let out a sigh and sighed that when she agreed to be a puppet, she thought things too simply. But then again, if you don't agree, it's just as hard to imagine what the situation will be like now, and maybe it's gone.
"Have you turned enough? We're leaving. Bai Ya came opposite each other and blocked in front of Mu Qing.
Mu Qing nodded indifferently - she was full of frustration, not to mention the leisure and ease of looking at the scenery, and even the task of observing the terrain assigned by Xia Yuanshan was too lazy to complete it.
Bai Ya didn't say anything, and ordered someone to place Mu Qing on the horse and continue to climb the mountain.
All the way through, everyone was silent, except for the sound of horses' hooves and the occasional snort or two of the horses.
One of the guards cleared the way in front of him, rode out for a while, and back, never hearing him speak.
Leaving the hot springs, the plants became scarcer and the temperature dropped very quickly, and before long, the area as far as the eye could see was covered in snow.
The sun was setting, the weather was not good, the clouds moving with the wind would block the moonlight from time to time, and occasionally, the snow would fall from the trees with a "whoosh" sound, and some branches would "click" and break due to overwhelm.
As the altitude continues to rise, the wind becomes stronger and stronger, and the wind blows on the face as if it is a knife. The ground was icy and slippery, and the horses were moving at a noticeable slow.
Bai Li was in the center of the team, his back was straight, and his expression was solemn.
Mu Qing didn't know what the giant spirit rabbit they were looking for was, but looking at it like this, it should be an extremely fierce beast.
Little by little, the team went up, and the temperature was so low that it dripped into ice.
At this time, the escort who opened the way came back, came straight to Bai Li, and nodded.
Bai Li stopped the horse while raising his hand, and the others followed.
"There are footprints, it's not far away." The guard who opened the way lowered his voice and pointed somewhere.
"Spread out a little and keep a distance from each other." Bai Ya said, "That beast is very good, don't be alone, don't look back, don't be reckless." β
The guards answered in a deep voice and dispersed.
The mountains and forests are not dense, and there are almost no leaves on the trees, but the trunks are thick and high, and there are many blind spots.
The team fanned out, slowly searching and advancing, and after searching for a long time, they still found nothing.
Someone couldn't hold his breath and cursed in a low voice.
When Bai Ya heard it, he only frowned slightly and didn't say a word.
At this moment, a bird's cry came from nowhere, short and sharp.
Everyone stopped abruptly.
One of the guards reacted very quickly and fired an arrow with a "whoosh".
The feathered arrow silently brushed the face of the other guard, plunging headlong into the darkness behind him. Immediately afterward, a large amount of snow fell on his head, making the guard almost a snowman.
"What are you doing, are you looking for me to be happy?" The bird's call is a secret signal between the guards, which is used to summon rescue in times of crisis, and the guard who shoots the arrow sees that the feather arrow only hits the tree, and can't help but blame the guard who sent the code.
"Something on my shoulder." The guard who sent the code looked innocent.
"It's a branch." The guards who shot the arrows felt that the other party was so timid that they were all soldiers, "or the snow that fell." β
"Shut up!" Bai Li stopped the two of them in displeasure.
At the same time, the other guard, who was not far away, also felt that his shoulder was gently patted, but he kept his mouth tightly closed, and did not dare to make a sound at all.
He kept Bai Ya's order in mind and didn't dare to look back, only clenched the weapon in his hand and stabbed it behind him.
Thankfully, there's nothing there.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but in the next second, he screamed from the sharp pain in his shoulder, and the horse he was riding stood up and neighed.
In the quiet forest, under the tense atmosphere, such a sound is both abrupt and terrifying.
Mu Qing was taken aback, and subconsciously turned her head in the direction of the sound, because the movement was too fierce and too fast, one did not sit firmly, and staggered and was about to fall off the horse.
Fortunately, there was Bai Li, who stretched out his hand to block it.
"There!" The guards spotted their target and rushed out.
"What is it?" Mu Qing was scared, and her voice was shaking.
Bai Li didn't answer, and came unhurriedly to the guard who was screaming.
The guard was unconscious and fell to the ground, a blur of flesh between his neck and shoulders.
"Dead?" Mu Qing didn't dare to take a closer look.
"Not yet, soon." Bai Li raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the other guards were gone, "The injury is not light." β
"Shall we stay here and wait?" In the face of the passing life, helpless, Mu Qing was very uncomfortable and uneasy.
Bai Li was noncommittal, quietly as if waiting for something.
As the minutes ticked by, even the sound of the guards' hooves could no longer be heard. The wind blew through the trees, sending a low whimper through the trees, and the clouds were blown again, completely obscuring the moonlight.
Suddenly, Mu Qing felt a chill pass over her headβit wasn't the wind, it was something that had passed.
She was so nervous that she began to tremble unconsciously.
Bai Li's hand was gently placed on Mu Qing's back.
It was a large, warm palm, which miraculously calmed Mu Qing down.
Mu Qing looked up at Bai Ya, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by his silent gesture.
Another gust of wind blew, carrying with it the snow, and at the same time, a low roar.
"On the trees." Bai Ya almost whispered.
Mu Qing raised her head again, and finally saw what was roaring.
It was a cat, with long, snow-white fur mixed with a little gray-brown, and its ears were slightly rounded, squeezed back, almost buried in the fur.
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and her first reaction was - hey, it's quite cute.
"Djinn rabbit, it's not the cat you think." Bai Ya is like a roundworm in Mu Qing's stomach.
"Isn't it amazing?" Mu Qing saw that this rabbit was not even as big as an ordinary domestic cat, and she didn't understand why it was called "Giant Spirit".
Bai Ya didn't answer again, and the hand holding Mu Qing's back turned in a semicircle.
Mu Qing flew up, and even the seat cushion floated into the air, and it was getting higher and higher.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Bai Li turned over and dismounted.
As he spoke, the seat cushion glowed softly white, and the sound of a jingling bell rang out.
A thin chain slowly appeared in front of Mu Qing's eyes, and it circled around her in the middle, and a small bell was tied to the chain at intervals, gently shaking from side to side.
"Talisman Barrier." Bai Li grabbed it behind his back and held a nearly two-foot-long mountain opening knife, "Sit down, you won't fall down if you don't move." β
When Mu Qing heard this, she immediately sat upright.
Bai Li drove away from his horse and flew towards the tree where the rabbit was standing.
The rabbit let out a creepy roar, kicked its hind legs, stretched out its claws, and pounced on the back of Bai Li's head.
Bai Ya immediately changed his move, rounded his arm, replaced the stick with a knife, and used one side of the knife to beat the rabbit out of a long distance.
The rabbit was enraged, turned over in the air, and kicked hard the moment it landed, showing its fangs, intending to bite Bai Li's neck.
Bai Li stepped forward, took out a black cloth out of nowhere, and threw it at the rabbit with his head covered and his face covered.
Mu Qing, who stopped at a high place, looked at it and always thought that now, the rabbit can't run.
Who would have thought that the black cloth fell to the ground, moved slightly a few times, and was silent again.
Mu Qing stared at the black cloth, but Bai Ya was looking elsewhere.
"It's running, it's not caught." Suddenly, Mu Qing heard a soft female voice, which was very close, right behind her head.
This surprise was not trivial, Mu Qing completely forgot that she was in mid-air, and Huo Di bounced.
