Chapter 153—The Calm Before the Storm (15)
"I don't know ......" Chi Mudie's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the Pink Rabbit King who had suddenly changed his personality, but he heard Cang Lan's chuckle in his ears.
"Although this pink rabbit king usually looks docile and timid, in fact, it is very naughty and playful, they have lived in the corner of Izumo where the seasons are like spring, and they have never seen this white and cold snow, I just suddenly thought that after you summoned it, it will definitely be excited to play in this snow. ”
Cang Lan paused slightly when she said this, turned her head and saw that Chi Mudie, who had a gloomy face, had been amused by the appearance of the Pink Rabbit King Sa Huan rolling, so she continued to smile and said to her: "So, if it is forced to quiet down and drive you away, it will definitely lose its temper and not leave, so it is better to let it out to play for a while while you are eating." ”
Seeing the pink rabbit king jumping around in the snow, Lin Mumu, who was sitting by the fire, was also attracted to it, she quickly finished gnawing her half of the hare, and also rushed into the snow to play with the pink rabbit king, and Guihai Luoxue first glanced at Guihai Shiruo, whose face was still gloomy, and let out a long sigh "I think the atmosphere is still good over there", and then got up and walked towards Chi Mudie.
"It's really a rabbit that can't be seen! I didn't expect that your soft rabbit would be crazy and couldn't stop playing at all. Guihai Luoxue said, while casually putting his hand on Chi Mudie's shoulder, and whispered to Chi Mudie in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Hey, did you do anything with Canglan last night, why did my brother's face turn black like that?"
Chi Mudie, who was originally happily watching the Pink Rabbit King and Lin Mumu play together, immediately became gloomy after hearing the question of Guihai Luoxue, and just when she was thinking about how to tell her about last night, the voice of Guihai Shiruo sounded in her ears again.
"You're all done, aren't you? As he returned to the sea, he stood up, stooped down to pick up the hides and entrails of the hares they had just peeled off, and prepared to dispose of the traces of human activity, so as not to reveal their whereabouts.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have to clean up, there are already a lot of snow wolves around here, and when we leave, the remaining snow wolves will eat the entrails, and the rabbit skins will be taken back to the burrow by them to keep the little wolf cubs warm, so we just need to put out the fire." ”
At the same time that Canglan opened her mouth to answer Guihai's words, the rest of the people were stunned in surprise, thinking that they would quarrel again, Guihai Luoxue simply covered his eyes, but he didn't expect that Ruoruo just responded lightly when he returned to the sea, and then extinguished the fire and covered up the burned ashes with snow.
After a series of actions were completed, when returning to the sea, he raised his eyes inadvertently, but found that several people except Cang Lan and Lin Mumu were looking at him with a very surprised look, and Chi Mudie was also a little scared and shrank behind Guihai Luoxue, and whispered: "Xuexue, I think it's a little scary......"
"Hehe, unfortunately I feel the same way, then again, what the hell did you mess with him......? But the whole person is not good......" Guihai Luoxue also laughed dryly twice, and took a step back, but just when she and Chi Mudie were frightened, Lin Mumu suddenly came to their side and whispered softly in their ears.
"I saw Brother Shi Ruo go to talk to Canglan this morning!"
"What!" After hearing Lin Mumu's whisper, Guihai Luoxue and Chi Mudie let out a loud exclamation at the same time, Lin Mumu quickly covered their mouths when they saw this, winked at the other people who cast curious eyes and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I just jumped over and scared the two of them." ”
The rest of the people blinked inexplicably, but Lin Mumu cleverly shifted the topic elsewhere, "By the way, Cang Lan, you haven't told us yet, how to find that black stone!"
After listening to Lin Mumu's question, Cang Lan took a few steps forward and bent down to pick up a branch, smoothed a clearing on the snow covered with the footprints of the Pink Rabbit King, drew a rough map of the frozen tundra on the snow, marked a few circles on it, and opened her mouth to preach to everyone:
"This is a rough topographic map of the frozen tundra, and the points I marked out are the dozen or so caves that I remember with a large glacial lake, since those members of the Gathering Spirit Hall said that it was a large glacial lake, then we will ignore the two dozen or so smaller caves first, and start searching from these dozen caves. There are exactly seven of us now, and there are exactly fourteen of the caves, so that when we get to the frozen tundra, we can each go in one direction and take a few snow wolves to search the two nearby caves. ”
"But those members of the Gathering Spirit Hall also said that it was a huge black stone, but the black stones we have seen so far are only the size of a fist, could it be that they are completely mistaken?" After listening to Cang Lan's arrangement, Hong Jiu'er remembered the description of the members of the Gathering Spirit Hall, and couldn't help but raise new questions.
Cang Lan shook her head and explained: "If they see that the black stone is coming out of the demonic qi, they shouldn't be mistaken, combined with the fact that they saw it in the ice lake, due to the influence of the ice surface, there will indeed be visual errors." And now there are a total of twelve black stones, five on the dark guild's side, and six on our side, four of which are on me, and the other two are on Chi Muyan, so the black stone we are looking for this time is likely to be the last black stone scattered around. ”
"The last piece, aren't those crazy people in the Dark Guild coming to trouble us every day?" Guihai Luoxue sighed after listening to Cang Lan's words, but saw that Cang Lan also nodded helplessly.
"Yes, it's good to have the dragon god on my side to follow, but Chi Muyan ...... there" Cang Lan muttered in a low voice, but suddenly paused halfway through speaking, and then said: "How did I forget, only he calculates others, and no one else can calculate his Chi Muyan!"
"That's right, Brother Muyan is so smart, how can he be fooled by those stupid people in the Dark Guild!, so as long as we find this last black stone, those stupid people can't reseal that beautiful god sister, and she can come out to help us deal with that nasty water demon together!"
Lin Mumu was extremely excited when she heard Canglan mention Chi Muyan, although she had listened to Chi Muyan's various deeds since she was a child, and she had seen him many times on Lingjian Mountain, but in the year that Chi Muyan took Lin Mumu to practice outside, Lin Mumu really understood Chi Muyan's strength, and saw that no matter how unfavorable the situation was to her, she could wear that smile that seemed to be irrelevant, and handle things properly, and the admiration in Lin Mumu's heart also arose spontaneously.
Seeing Lin Mumu's eyes shining, Guihai Luoxue whispered to Chi Mudie with some worry: "Eh, why do I think Mu Mu's expression when he talks about Brother Muyan is the same as talking about those strange-shaped summoned beasts?"
Chi Mudie smiled a little helplessly and shook her head at Guihai Luoxue and said, "I think that, she probably can't catch it, what I want to know more now is how to stop that crazy rabbit." ”
As soon as Chi Mudie's words fell, the crazy Pink Rabbit King suddenly jumped in front of them, and trampled on the map drawn by Canglan on the snow beyond recognition.
"That rabbit, if you are so overly lively, I will catch you and roast you too. ”
After listening to Cang Lan's words, the Pink Rabbit King immediately froze in place, glanced at Cang Lan's face with those big red eyes, and the next moment he fled behind Chi Mudie and hid, and showed half of his head to Cang Lan and made a few squeaky protests.
Seeing that the Pink Rabbit King had finally quieted down, Cang Lan roughly restored the map it had stepped on, and pointed to the points marked on the map, and continued to tell the rest of the people about his arrangements.
"Once we're in the frozen tundra, we'll split up. Fluttershy, you go to these two points in the southwest, if you return to the sea, you go to the west, Lin Mumu goes to the northwest, you go to the northeast, you go to the south, and Jiu'er, the two points in the north and the middle are often infested with giant beasts, and they are also the most dangerous, so choose one of them. ”
"Then I'll go to the northernmost two, when Chi Muyan took me and the big stone to the Sealing Tower, I walked there, I still remember some. ”
After listening to Hong Jiu'er's choice, Cang Lan nodded and continued: "Okay, then let's go now, whether the search is completed or not, we must follow the snow wolf back to the entrance from the frozen tundra to the whispering canyon before dark, even if you find the black stone, you must send a spiritual message to notify me and Jiu'er as soon as possible." Since the president asked me to bring you out, whether I can find the black stone or not, I must make sure that you are safe first. ”
After listening to Cang Lan's arrangement, the rest of the people nodded together, summoned their mounts and followed Cang Lan to the frozen tundra, and after arriving at the frozen tundra, they followed the snow wolf to their assigned points.
Not long after the ulterior motive Sha Xiaoliang separated from the rest of the people, he deliberately deviated from the original route and tracked towards the southwest where Chi Mudie had walked, but as soon as she chased a few steps, a huge giant beast's claws suddenly slapped in front of her.
After a thick tiger roar, Sha Xiaoliang fixed her eyes and saw that it was Cang Lan who was riding an ice tiger in front of her at this time. Although he was a little frightened by his gloomy complexion, Sha Xiaoliang still took the lead in opening his mouth arrogantly to Canglan with the brutal willfulness that he had been accustomed to for many years.
"What's the matter? Is His Highness Canglan here to settle last night's account with me? I'm the only princess on the Flame Island, even if you are the future Wolf Emperor, you can't ignore the relationship between the human race and the spirit race......
As soon as Sha Xiaoliang was halfway through her words, the Ice Spirit Tiger, who was not used to her arrogant attitude, let out a threatening roar at her, and approached her a few steps, so frightened that Sand Xiao Liang quickly stopped her mouth, but Cang Lan smiled and patted Ice Spirit Tiger's back and raised her eyes to look at Sha Xiaoliang.
"Why? I'm here to thank you, thanks to your help I was able to get close to her, didn't I?" Cang Lan said this, although she had a smile on her face, her eyes revealed obvious killing intent, and then she let the Ice Spirit Tiger walk to the side of Sha Xiaoyu, and continued softly to her: "It's just that if you frame her again because of your own boring jealousy like you did last night and put her in danger, I don't think the Spirit Clan and the Wing Clan will not mind taking a Flame Island into their own territory." And judging from the current chaotic situation, weighing the pros and cons, do you think the Human Emperor and the Guihai President will abandon the Spirit Clan and the Wing Clan, or will it be just a useless Flame Island?"
After Cang Lan finished speaking, she smiled lightly at the extremely ugly face of the sand girl, rode past her on the Ice Spirit Tiger, and finally did not forget to turn around and remind: "By the way, these snow wolves just listened to my orders and followed you to search for smells, if you do anything drastic to them, I dare not guarantee that they will be able to recognize the princess of Shacheng." ”
Watching Cang Lan disappear in front of him on the Ice Spirit Tiger, the originally pale Sha Xiaoliang suddenly showed an evil sneer, but that extremely dangerous smile was like a snowflake falling into the water, flashing away without anyone noticing.
