Night

"Click-click-"

An owl flapped its wings and leaped from one branch to the other, and soon it was motionless, its feathers erected, and its two lantern-like eyes glared at the boss,

"Squeak—"

There was a mountain rat the size of a palm, sneaky, crawling out of a cave under a small dirt bag,

At this time, it looked vigilant, supported its ears, probed its brain, looked left and right, and a pair of rat-eyed beads and thieves kept spinning.

"Squeak, squeak,"

It called tentatively and softly,

"Babbling—"

A gust of wind blew by, blowing the leaves on the bushes,

It immediately retracted its head, and then poked it out a moment later, baring its teeth and swaying its beard.

Although it was not sure if there was a crisis around it, it was hungry, and finally took a few steps forward, and then quickly ran into the grass opposite to hide.

"Karma,"

The sound of a branch being broken,

"Squeak!"

The mountain rat seems to have found the crisis, and with a lift of its hind legs, it wants to return.

At the same time, the owl seized the opportunity, released its claws and leaped up.

"Whew—"

It's coming at a rapid pace,

"Squeak squeak—"

The rat panicked, hit the stake headlong and was dizzy, and felt that it could not escape the catastrophe, so it closed its eyes and shrunk into a ball and did not move.

"Woo!

Imaginary death did not arrive,

The owl suddenly fell out of mid-air and landed in the bushes beside it, its talons twitching and trembling, its wings flapping and struggling to let out a terrible scream.

"Woo-woo-woo!"

The mountain rat was taken aback, and cautiously opened his eyes to look over,

"Senior Brother Ma, make a fire! This one is really fat!"

Wang Xiaobao ran over, bent down and grabbed the owl on the ground,

He grabbed the base of its wings and weighed it, and with the other hand pulled out the branch that was stuck in its back.

The wooden branch was thrown out by him with his bare hands, and at this moment there was still a flashing current on the branch.

Wang Xiaobao licked his lips, his eyes lit up, "Dinner has fallen!"

"I don't eat anyway. ”

Ma Rui stood one meter away from Wang Xiaobao, and shook his head seriously when he heard the words.

"I think that not eating grains still has some effect, and I feel that my spiritual power has been refined a lot recently. ”

Wang Xiaobao is used to hearing him say this every day this month, but at this time, he just pouted his lips and said with a disapproving expression, "Although your senior brother and I have been messing around in the mountains and fields for more than a month, and we have all the big fish and meat, haven't we still successfully reached the peak of Lingzhao?"

Ma Rui shook his head and didn't want to argue with him, lowered his eyes and raised his hand, and between his fingers, the top of the wooden stick in his hand swished to ignite an open flame, and the surrounding forest became bright in an instant.

Now Ma Rui's clothes are quite neat, but they are more or less stained with dirt, and in comparison, the young man opposite is much more embarrassed, unkempt, and ragged......

Wang Xiaobao didn't pay attention to it, pinched the owl in his hand with two fingers, stripped off its feathers in two or three clicks, looked up and was about to ask Ma Rui to borrow fire, he suddenly moved his ears slightly, his eyes flashed, and he snorted,

"Senior Brother Ma, extinguish the fire!

"Whew—"

Ma Rui immediately put out the fire, quietly approached Wang Xiaobao, frowned and said, "It's you who want the fire, don't ...... it."

"Shhhh

Wang Xiaobao raised his hand to cover the other party's lips, put his nose on his ear, and whispered, "My ears have been sensitive since childhood, and they are even more so after cultivation. ”

"What do you hear?" asked Marry in a whisper,

"There are two people, coming over, and the conversation seems to mention some god ......"

As the words fell, a firelight appeared in the distance, and two tall men walked over with torches.

One of them said, "Third brother, are you sure there are people here?"

"It's strange, I just heard the movement clearly!"

"Babbling—"

Suddenly, the grass shook, and the two big men were startled,

"What people!"

"Squeak!"

The grass drilled out a dusty thing,

It turned out to be a mountain mouse,

I saw that the mountain rat suddenly burst out of the bushes, shook its ears and blatantly passed by the two of them, and disappeared into the forest in an instant.

“......”

"Third brother, what you heard was a mountain rat!"

The other big man then raised his hand and scratched his head, "Strange...... Probably really I was suspicious. ”

After saying that, I looked left and right, but I really didn't find anything,

"Go back, it's too late, big brother is going to scold again!"

The two big men slowly returned,

“......”

"Squeak,"

Wang Xiaobao and Ma Rui glanced at each other, quietly relieved, and suddenly heard a voice under their feet, and when they lowered their heads, it was the mountain rat just now,

"Squeak Squeak"

It was not afraid of these two people, squeaked, and circled around Wang Xiaobao's boots,

"Okay, you little guy, you're quite bold, aren't you afraid I'll eat you?"

Wang Xiaobao smiled and pulled it up, this mountain mouse is not big, with a slender tail, and two soybean-sized eyes are spinning around.

"Squeak!"

It didn't struggle, it raised its nose and called at Wang Xiaobao,

Wang Xiaobao smiled,

"That's it, you just helped us, and I'll take your life. ”

As he spoke, he put the little mouse's shoulder, and the mouse's trembling fear, but his four paws grasped his collar tightly.

Ma Rui couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this, "This mountain rat is spiritual." ”

Wang Xiaobao just grinned and threw away the owl casually,

"Let's go, let's see. ”

The two of them followed in the direction where the two big men had left,

Those two big men looked like they were just ordinary warriors, and now that Wang Xiaobao and Ma Rui were both at the peak of Lingzhao, it was naturally impossible to be afraid of each other, but they were unwilling to expose their targets, so as not to startle the snake.

When the sky was shining, the forest was startled with a birdsong,

Wang Xiaobao and Ma Rui finally came to a canyon, they carefully hid behind a boulder, poked their heads out and looked carefully, and were stunned by the sight for a moment.

I saw that the clouds and mist ahead, the water vapor floated in the air, and the brilliance of the morning sun fell, refracting countless colorful points of light in an instant.

In the midst of this point of light, a huge stone statue stood tall and majestic, and the sight of it made people fearful.

A few big men came out of the forest with baskets on their backs, each holding a big chisel in his hand.

One of the tallest, quietly lowered his head and chatted with the shorter man next to him,

"Third brother, you say, when will this stone statue be repaired?"

The big man beside him had a serious face when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to reprimand, "I don't know, don't chatter, let's do whatever the above tells us to do!"

The tall man scratched his head and said to himself,

"When is this day going to be the end!"

But the big man on the other side said,

"Old Five, just listen to the third brother, don't chatter, let me tell you, the good days of our Xuanwu Dao are approaching!"

The tall man looked delighted, and then looked puzzled, "Really, where did you hear this?"

"Shhh, be quiet, old five, I didn't treat you as an outsider, the action on the top has been so big in the past two days, we can more or less guess some of the ......"

"You two, what are you muttering?"

At this time, the leading man suddenly turned around and scolded, "Hurry up, mother-in-law, don't bite your ears like a girl!"

"Yes, big brother!"
