Chapter Twenty-Nine: A New Stronghold
"You really came out of Dao Dao Peak, why do you feel quite naïve?"
This was the first thing they heard after they saw that Senior Sister Xue.
Hearing this, the wind killed several of them a little uncomfortable. After all, this is the first time anyone has said that.
Moreover, they have all reached the first level of Gathering Spirits, and even if they are not big bosses in the cultivation realm, they can at least stand on their feet. But that's it, this Senior Sister Xue still says that they are naïve.
However, this Senior Sister Xue didn't save face at all.
"No, you shouldn't be naïve, you should be naïve. ”
Senior Sister Xue's words became even more ugly.
"Don't look for us if you think we're naïve!"
Yueli was angry, what kind of person is this, he just said this kind of thing when they met. Besides, she doesn't know if other people are naïve or not, but she is a person who has lived two worlds, how can she be naïve?
"If I hadn't heard that it was a disciple of Dao Feng, I would definitely not have chosen you...... I thought that you, as a disciple of Dao Dao Peak, now at least knew that some people were sinister, but looking at you like this...... It's like you haven't experienced anything big.
Besides, my original intention was just to find a few cannon fodder, but I heard that there were my own disciples, and I wanted to bring them a little, but I didn't expect that...... Excuse me, don't you feel like you're living in a very good environment?"
In this regard, Feng Yan and others could not refute it.
Indeed, they are in a much better environment. All the dangers before the Spirit Realm came from asking Dao Peak. After starting to travel to the Extremely Cold Ice Domain, the Fox King's prestige and the trouble in the Forgotten River Valley made a fuss, and the entire northern territory basically didn't come to them for trouble, not to mention the relationship between the Snow Eagle Chamber of Commerce, the Wild Alliance, and the Red Feather Sect.
After arriving at the Savage Ancient Land, everyone in the Wild Ancient Land was very enthusiastic, and the whole journey was a peaceful mess, and the sinister hearts of the people were not seen at all.
And then I came to this darkest chaotic realm recently, and at the beginning I chose a good place, and I didn't suffer any crimes, and then with the help of my uncle and brother, I really didn't suffer any major crimes.
Seeing that they were silent, Senior Sister Xue didn't say anything. It's okay in this situation, at least they can listen to it, and then it will be much more convenient in the future.
"Okay, after all, it's the first time we met, and I don't know you well, so I won't say anything more, I hope your performance in the future can satisfy me, otherwise I will have to send you back."
Okay, then I'll introduce you, I'm Xue Xue, and my cultivation is the third order of the Imperial Spirit. ”
After finishing speaking, Xue Xue didn't say anything else. And this bit of information is just knowing the name of this Senior Sister Xue for them.
"You go and get acquainted with the surroundings first, and this will be your stronghold from now on. Don't blame me for not finding a place to run away in the future. By the way, let me remind you, although I, Xue Xue, am quite famous outside, but don't mention it...... When the time comes, if I am arrested and forced to confess, I will not save it.
By the way, I have quite a lot of enemies. ”
After finishing speaking, Xue Xue left. By the time they began to familiarize themselves with their surroundings, they couldn't find Xue Xue anymore.
"What kind of person is this, just met and said these things. And say that we are naïve, hum! When you are cheated by me in the future, I don't think you will say that. ”
When she said this, Yueli had already thought of more than a dozen pit methods, including but not limited to drugging, demolishing the house, and other methods that could make Xue Xue uncomfortable.
"Then I'll wait and see, I hope you don't just lose your temper as a child. ”
At this time, Xue Xue's voice came, startling Yueli.
"It's scary, it's still a child. ”
Then, Xue Xue's voice disappeared completely.
After that, everyone walked out of the room and prepared to explore the surroundings. However, the first foot they took out of the house almost missed. At this time, they realized that the threshold of this house seemed to be a bit high. This high threshold is not useless, because it is just outside the cliff.
Oh, to be exact, one step away from the cliff.
Yes, Xue Xue's stronghold was built on the face of an extremely high cliff. However, she renovated the cave and renovated it so that it was a decent room.
In the vicinity of the house, there were many large black trees that covered the entire cave, leaving only a small space formed by trees near the door. Of course, it is not densely packed to form a solid base, but sparse and sparse, and it feels like you will step on it empty.
They thought it would be strange to have such a dense tree on the edge of the cliff, but when they looked at it from a distance, they would find that it was surrounded by such large trees, which made it so concealed that it was almost impossible to determine where the house was after a long time.
By the time they realized this, it was too late. They couldn't find a place anymore. Moreover, to their surprise, even if they tried their best to investigate, they could only detect the breath of a tree, and they couldn't find the cave at all.
Yes, they don't know how to go back now, and if they want to go back, they can only find it little by little. But fortunately, the approximate location is still clear to them, and it is relatively easy to find.
However, things are not as simple as they think. They did find the same space as before, but there were five of them, and the cave was not seen in each of them.
In the end, it was Feng Yan who heard the sentence "What are you hanging outside the door" to find the right place, which is the place he was looking for, as long as he walked directly to the cliff.
And this is just that Xue Xue has imposed a small blinding formation here, so that others can't perceive it from the outside.
By the time everyone went back, Xue Xue was already lying on the bed leisurely nibbling on the roast duck, and looked at them with a smile.
"Hey, you won't be able to find it if you stay so far, I really can't rest assured...... It's still a natural labyrinth a little further from here, you guys...... What should I do if something really happens? No, there are quite a few powerful spirit beasts around here, and sooner or later you will have to do something!"
Although Xue Xue said something that she felt cared for, her tone was obviously sarcastic. However, even Yueli could only endure it this time. After all, they really didn't find the place.
"No, where you live is over there, and you can choose your own location. ”
Xue Xue pointed to the vicinity of her bedside, and at this time everyone noticed that there was an extra door over there.
"You guys are familiar with the neighborhood in the past few days, you have to prepare well for the matter of the Land of Crazy Bones, there must be a lot of people who come to chase us after the matter is over, I don't want you to be like this, it seems that I am too incompetent.
By the way, I'm not responsible for your own daily life or anything. Also, you'd better not touch my stuff, you can't afford something to happen. ”
With that, she stepped out of bed again, picked up a duck leg that had been placed on a nearby table, and nibbled on it, not caring about the other people's reactions.
When they saw that Senior Sister Xue ignored them again, they didn't have the heart to take the initiative to talk to her, so they went inside to see where they would live in the future.
After entering, it is a relatively large cave, and there is nothing in it. No, there was nothing but a layer of black wood on the four walls. I love to read
Everyone roughly calculated, just such a place, only the space is crowded like the outside. If you add a few other small things, this place is simply not enough.
It was at this moment that Moon Shadow felt like she had stepped on something, and before she could say anything to the others, the mountain wall near her suddenly opened, and the entrance they had entered closed.
"Where else is there here?"
Yueli immediately ran over to check the situation, and found that it was not another cave, but a stone staircase going down. Below, because there is no light, it is so dark that you can't see anything.
Yueli's first reaction was to light a fire, but she immediately stopped. This place is all wood, and if you accidentally rub the spiritual fire, it will be a big problem.
So, she pulled out her flashlight. Although you can't use batteries, you can also be bright with spirit stones for energy, but the light is a little more yellowish.
With the light, their location is much brighter, and you can roughly see the situation below.
There was a lot of that black wood on the top of the staircase, only a part of it was worn out to reveal the stone beneath it.
A few people went down the stairs and found that there was another space about the same size as above, still empty and empty.
After finding these two spaces, their living space has been expanded a lot, and seven people are not too crowded.
At this time, Hua Xi suddenly had an idea.
"Do you think this cave will also have hidden passages?"
"I think it's possible. ”
Then, they set out to find a place.
As a result, they did find an inconspicuous mechanism, at the bottom of a mountain wall, with a small bulge. As long as you press with enough force, another space will appear, still empty.
"Are you so presumptuous in someone else's house?"
Just as everyone was ready to move on, Xue Xue's voice sounded in everyone's ears, and they directly asked them to help.
Yes, they are now in Senior Sister Xue's house, not in some ruins, so it doesn't seem appropriate to do so.
So everyone stopped, and Xue Xue didn't say anything.
After that, everyone found a way to get out, and it was very simple, which was to press the mechanism at the next entrance, and then close this side, and open the other side.
In addition, everyone also found that Xue Xue didn't seem to care about their use of these three places, and regarded these three places as their temporary residence.
Then there is the allocation, the three men live in one, the Yue sisters live in one, and Wang Ling and Xue Ji live in one. Moreover, the three men lived in the outermost room.
There is no objection to this. Several men also knew that they had a lot of things for women, and they naturally had a lot of land to occupy. And a few of them, it is simple to be simple, and there is no requirement to have a place to rest.
After the accommodation was settled, they continued to go outside to inquire about the situation. They knew they needed to know where the entrance was.
This time, they used a new method, one by one, the previous one and the next one as the reference place, and the next one as the previous point to remember the place. The moon glass is the head, and the wind is the tail.
In addition to this, they also made several round trips, ensuring that the minimum deviation did not exceed two meters. In other words, they all memorized the open space in front of the door, and at most the location of the door was not accurate.
With this in mind, they go out in the same way.
When everyone was farther away, Xue Xue stood at the door.
"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with basic ability, but I probably haven't experienced anything, and my defense against people's hearts is a little insufficient. ”
"There's no way, I just went to check, the environment in which they grew up is really good, it's like us, it's intriguing every day.
By the way, they asked me about you, what did I say?"
"Say whatever you want, anyway, I know everything I did, and it's no secret. And, perhaps, after knowing it, they can be a little more guarded. ”
"Do you want to talk about that thing?"
"Well, it's not a secret anyway, and they have to find out. ”
Xue Xue's words, they didn't know about the wind and death, they only knew that the place where they were was was so difficult to find. Just like that, they got lost again.
This time, I didn't get lost at the gate, but in the forest outside. The road there is winding and winding, and a lot of the ground looks like it can be walked, but after passing it, I realize that there are no people.
They can be hard to dismantle, but first of all, the hidden role of demolition is gone, this is digging a pit for themselves to jump.
Second, they are here to make the way, not to make the way, and they are not guilty of doing so.
Last but not least, there are a few very loud beast roars in this place from time to time, and it is estimated that there will be strong spirit beasts. If they were to make too much noise when they were building the road, they would probably have to attract the attention of this spirit beast, which would be much more exciting than now.
So, they had to slowly find a place.
Luckily, the cliff side was more prominent in the field of vision, allowing them to determine the general direction. As for flying, I'm sorry, I don't have to look at it, the nests in the canopy of the oversized trees around and the black giant birds on them, are they flying for food?
It was under this condition that they walked around the forest, and finally came out by chance. As for how they came out, if they didn't have their own hand-drawn map, they wouldn't even know their own route.
After coming out, everyone overlapped the parts they drew and worked together to draw a picture of the various routes they took today, including various dead ends.
In other words, after some effort, they had a rough map.
This method was conceived by Feng Yan. He also had a whim, anyway, he couldn't find the way, so it was better to draw a rough picture of the road he was taking, wouldn't it be easy to rule it out?
As a result, the method of drawing the overall map in this way appeared, and the results were quite satisfactory.
When the hand-drawn map, which only had lines and a few "tree" characters, was casually placed on Xue Xue's desk, Xue Xue had only one thought for a while: their generation was really old.
