Shen Chai and Hopps looked at each other and smiled, both understanding their respective meanings.

"I can almost be sure," Hoppers's voice was low and terrifying, "without the one-eyed vulture, the scavenger would be as blind as a man, and his sense of smell would not be a mile away!"

"If you say that, what we are targeting can be confirmed?" Shen Chai's tone seemed to sigh and question.

"I'm afraid so," Hopps said with a wry smile, "If the appearance of the scavenger can be regarded as a coincidence, then is it also a coincidence that the eight-clawed water ghost, who has always lived in seclusion, is also a coincidence!"

Shen Chai nodded and said: "So far, I won't hide it from you, I said in the Black Swamp that I was a junior high-level magician, it was a bluff, I just wanted to deter the enemy in the shadows, but the eight-clawed water ghost still came, which proves that the enemy was not frightened, in other words, ......"

Before Shen Chai finished speaking, Hopps took over the conversation: "In other words, the enemy's strength is likely to be no less than the junior and high-rank!"

"Yes. Shen chased, silently sighing in his heart at Hoppers's keen thinking.

For a moment, the two of them were silent, each with their own thoughts, and the surroundings fell into a brief silence.

Shen Chai was thinking about whether he would have the ability to protect Shen Xiaohei and Tang Shishi if the enemy was unimaginably stronger.

Tang Shishi has the demon crawler of "Blue Water and Heavenly Heart", and it shouldn't be a problem to escape, as for Shen Xiaohe, this little girl's strength is probably a few points stronger than herself.

But what worries Shen Chai is that if he can't get out for a while, then Shen Xiaohei probably won't run for his life alone......

And Hopps is also full of thoughts, a pair of small dark eyes are deep and quiet, flashing dark from time to time, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

"There is another possibility," Hopps said suddenly, breaking the silence, "the enemy is not very strong, but he is an outlaw! ”

"Outlaw," Shen Chai muttered for a while when he heard this, and seemed to be relieved in his heart, he spoke, "The one who is begging for a living in this border land is not an outlaw, as long as he is not strong, can he still be more dangerous than the rampaging eight-clawed water ghost?"

Hopps listened to Shen Chai's words, and the right fist that had been clenched tightly slowly stretched out, but his face was impassive: "So, you and those two female dolls, plus Blue, the four of you should be able to handle it, right?"

"Old man Hopps, let me tell you this" Shen Chai returned to his appearance and leaned on the fire relaxedly, "As long as the turtle hiding in the shadows is not an intermediate magician, we can chop him as soon as he shows **!"

"Then I'm relieved. Although Hoppes said this, his face was still tense, and the light in his eyes flickered and dimmed.

"You stare here for a while, and I'll go inside and have a look. Shen Chai patted his ass and got up and said, this was the first time he had slept separately from Shen Xiaohei outside, and he was still a little uneasy.

"Well, you can go. Hoppus agreed.

Shen Chai lightly stepped over the alarm line tied to the bell and walked into the room where everyone was sleeping.

The room was pitch black, only the moonlight outside the window came in, and you could vaguely see the figures lying on the ground, and the slight snoring was coming and going.

Shen Chai stepped over the lying man on the ground and came to Shen Xiaohe's side.

I saw that the little girl was biting her thumb and sleeping soundly, chirping with a small mouth, and occasionally humming two words: "Adult...... Takoyaki ...... Well, well......"

Shen Chai couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this snack is eating in his dreams!

"Shen Chai, Shen Chai!"

Suddenly, a slight voice came from nearby, calling Shen Chai's name.

Through the dim moonlight, Shen Chai took a closer look, and it turned out to be Tang Shishi.

"Shishi, you haven't slept yet?" Shen Chai asked in surprise.

"I'm upset, I can't sleep. Tang Shishi replied in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's go out. Shen Chai was afraid of disturbing everyone's rest.

The two of them walked out of the room lightly, bypassing Hopce to the open space behind the house.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Chai asked with concern, he hadn't seen Tang Da Lazy Cat have ever been unable to sleep, and he usually couldn't sleep enough.

Tang Shishi is used to eating and drinking in the Tang family, even in the academy, she has her own small apartment, where she has slept in the wilderness?

And there was a group of strange men lying in the room, all kinds of stinky feet, grinding teeth, snoring......

How can she sleep with that!

"Didn't you say," Tang Shishi glanced at Hopps and leaned into Shen Chai's ear, "Is someone secretly making trouble?" ”

"Oh!"

Shen Chai suddenly realized, and then repeated the conversation with Hops just now to Tang Shishi, and comforted: "The old man judged that this person is an outlaw at most, and his strength should not be too strong, so we can deal with it." ”

Tang Shishi stared at Hoppers's flickering back, pondered Shen Chai's words in her heart, and then frowned and said, "How do I think, this matter is not so simple!"

"Huh?" Shen Chai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What do you say?"

Although Shen Chai is clever, he can't compare to Tang Shishi in terms of sophistication and knowledge, so in this regard, Shen Chai will listen to Tang Shishi's opinion.

"Do you know what kind of goods the caravan is carrying?" asked Tang Shishi.

Shen Chai shook his head, he really hadn't paid attention to this.

"It's salt. Tang Shishi said lightly, "Have you ever seen a magician who would become an outlaw for a pile of salt!"

Shen Chai was shocked when he heard this, and his mind had already exploded!

Why didn't I think of this!

"So, what will he be for?" Tang Shishi asked herself, "There are only two things, either for the treasure or for revenge!"

After listening to Tang Shishi's words, Shen Chai was really like an initiation, and he understood in an instant!

"Then you say," Tang Shishi's voice was filled with coldness, "I can even think of these, so can't Hopps think of them!?"

Hearing this, Shen Chai gasped and felt a chill in his back.

"That'...... Then why is Hops hiding the truth from us?" Shen Chai's voice trembled a little, although he asked this question, he already had a vague answer in his heart.

It's just that Shen Chai doesn't want to believe this answer!

He didn't want to believe that a kind old man could be so scheming.

He didn't want to believe that there was not even the most basic trust between people.

He didn't want to believe that the person he had protected all the way would pull himself into the water for his own selfish interests!

Tang Shishi's eyes flashed with coldness, she glanced at Hops in the distance, and her voice was gloomy and terrifying: "He wants to tie us up with him and be his substitute ghost!"

Thank you for the reward of "Yuri Nao", "Warm Snow with Heart", "Blue Ocean" and "Qi" children's shoes!
