hurriedly answered a few words on the phone, and Ziyan's brows furrowed slightly: "Do you have to be now?"

The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, Ziyan's expression became a little displeased, and he snorted heavily: "Okay, I'll come over right away." ”

After speaking, Ziyan raised her head and smiled apologetically at Jiang Xiao: "I'm sorry, there was an accident, I have to leave first." Those things that have not been said can only wait until next time. I'll get back to you. ”

"Okay. Jiang Xiao shrugged. He didn't complain about it. Purple Smoke has revealed enough information tonight, and he also needs time to digest it slowly. Besides, Purple Smoke, and the 'Academy' behind her, didn't seem to be forced or hostile. This first contact made him quite satisfied.

Jiang Xiao's requirements are not high - as long as he can continue to enjoy his existing life, it is enough.

Obviously wearing tights that outlined the figure exquisitely, but Ziyan took out a small gold ingot out of nowhere, slapped it on the table, and smiled at Jiang Xiao: "Lao Hua is a monster, only gold." By the way, there is still half of the wine left, so you can stay here and finish it if you like. ”

Then she stood up, didn't go to say hello to Lao Hua, who was still in the back door, and pushed the door open and walked out.

Jiang Xiao thought about it and didn't leave immediately. As Ziyan said, only one bottle of two bottles of wine was drunk, and such a good wine, I am afraid that I may not be able to find a second one even if I search all over the world. Since Ziyan has already paid for it, why not finish drinking it here and leave?

Jiang Xiao lifted the remaining wine bottle, poured himself a full glass, and drank it all in one go, only to feel a line of fire, flowing from his throat to his stomach, baking the whole person warm, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao also heard the sound of the door behind him. Lao Hua walked in from the back door, came to the table, bent down and held the gold ingot left by Ziyan in his hand, and just turned around to go back, but suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Xiao twice: "She's gone?"

Jiang Xiao was surprised in his heart. This Lao Hua had always been concise and to the point, and he didn't like to talk much, but now somehow, he asked such a knowingly question, nodded and replied, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm. Lao Hua nodded, had already turned around, took two steps towards the back door, but suddenly turned his head and couldn't stop looking Jiang Xiao up and down, but his eyes were still calm like water, and he couldn't see the slightest fluctuation.

Rao is Jiang Xiao's psychological quality has been honed on the stage very firmly, but being looked at by Lao Hua like this, he is still slightly uncomfortable, and he doesn't know what to say, so he only coughs lightly twice.

"You...... Do you know how to drink?"

Lao Hua looked at Jiang Xiao for a long time, and suddenly asked such a clueless sentence.

Jiang Xiao didn't know what Lao Hua meant, thought about it, nodded and said, "It's a ...... Understand some. ”

"Hmm. That purple smoke can be regarded as understanding. These days, there are not many people who know how to drink. Lao Hua paused, still looking at Jiang Xiao, with some hesitation on his face.

Jiang Xiao was made more and more awkward by Lao Hua's appearance, so he simply put down the wine glass in his hand, turned around and looked at Lao Hua.

Neither of them spoke again. The air in the room froze for a moment.

After about half a minute of eerie silence, Lao Hua suddenly sighed softly.

"You...... Let's go to Bitan Mountain. Go now. ”

"What?" Hearing Lao Hua's brainless words, Jiang Xiao was stunned.

Bitan Mountain is a scenic spot in the southern suburbs, not too far from here, but in the middle of the night, Lao Hua suddenly said let him run to Bitan Mountain, what does it mean?

Look at the scenery, what kind of scenery can you see at ten o'clock? Isn't that a joke?

"Don't ask. If you're willing to go, go for it. If you don't want to, finish your drink and go home and sleep on your own. Be quick, though. Lao Hua didn't seem to want to explain anything more, and after dropping a sentence, he turned around and walked towards the back door.

Jiang Xiao looked at Lao Hua's back until he walked into the back kitchen, closed the door, and never looked back.

Bitan Mountain?

Ziyan had also said before that this Lao Hua's temperament was very strange, but Jiang Xiao didn't expect that he would suddenly make such a request to himself.

No...... Not a requirement. Lao Hua also said that if Jiang Xiao is unwilling, then finish the wine and go home to sleep. It's more of a ...... Suggestion.

But now when you go to Bitan Mountain, what will happen, or rather, what will you get?

Jiang Xiao hesitated in his heart for a moment before making a decision.

Although he didn't understand what Lao Hua had hidden and didn't say, he didn't know what he had in his life, and at least he wouldn't harm his motives.

With Lao Hua's eccentric temperament, Jiang Xiao asked again, and he was afraid that he would not say half a word more. In that case, why don't you take a look?

The decision was made, Jiang Xiao didn't bother anymore, picked up the bottle of wine, poured it clean, wiped his mouth, and strode out of the door.

After getting into the car, Jiang Xiao drove all the way in the direction of Bitan Mountain. Along the way, Lao Hua Fangcai's words and expressions went through his mind over and over again, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.

At this point, there were not many cars on the way out of the city, and after more than 20 minutes, Jiang Xiao had already driven to the foot of Bitan Mountain. But this Bitan Mountain is not big, but it is not small, and it also has a radius of three or five miles. Lao Hua only said that he would come to Bitan Mountain, but did not mention the specific location. Jiang Xiao thought about it, simply stopped the car at the foot of the mountain, and walked all the way up the mountain.

Bitan Mountain is a scenic spot, and there is only one way up the mountain. Jiang Xiao raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was already half past ten at this moment. He thought about it for a while, and decided that if he reached eleven o'clock, he still couldn't see any clues, so he turned around and went home directly.

During this time period, the tourists are naturally scattered, and even the staff of the scenic spot have already gone home to rest. There were no pedestrians on the dark mountain road, and there were no street lights, only the rustling of leaves in the night wind, intermingled with the occasional bird call from nowhere.

Fortunately, today is the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar, and it is a sunny day, and the moon is full overhead. Jiang Xiao took advantage of the moonlight and walked towards the mountain step by step on the stone road. Bitan Mountain is just a higher slope, not a steep mountain, Jiang Xiao's physical fitness is much better than ordinary people because of his sports since he was a child, and he walked for more than 20 minutes, and he didn't even take two breaths.

I looked up at my watch and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, but nothing had happened. Jiang Xiao was beginning to wonder if Lao Hua was deliberately playing with himself, but suddenly heard a faint voice coming from him.

Jiang Xiao's heart moved, there was really something unusual here. In the middle of the night, no one will run to Bitan Mountain on weekdays. He thought for a moment, hid himself in the shadows of the trees, and carefully moved in the direction from which the sound came.

After walking less than fifty meters, the voice coming from front was much clearer, and Jiang Xiao heard a woman's unhappy voice: "How deep is it?

Hearing this voice, Jiang Xiao's heart suddenly moved.

The owner of this voice is the purple smoke that has just been separated from him!

Lao Hua asked him to come to Bitan Mountain, but he followed the footsteps of Ziyan. But...... But why did Lao Hua do this? Moreover, how did he know that Ziyan had come to Bitan Mountain?

Jiang Xiao was a little hesitant in his heart and wanted to turn his head and leave. The phone call that Ziyan had answered in front of him earlier was obviously from someone inside their academy. Jiang Xiao still didn't know too much about this organization at the moment, and he rashly got involved in this troubled water, just afraid that if he didn't keep it, he would get into some trouble.

But somehow, Jiang Xiao turned the idea of leaving several times in his heart, but he never took a step. It was as if a faint voice in his heart was calling for him to stay.

A somewhat hoarse male voice laughed twice: "It should be almost there." If Lord Purple Smoke is in a hurry, then simply evolve some more rats, and then it will naturally be much faster. We can't go wrong with remote sensing monitoring, the bones are right underneath. ”

Ziyan's voice snorted coldly, but he didn't speak. And Jiang Xiao focused all his attention on that position at the moment, only to find that in addition to the sound of the conversation between the two, there were also some strange rustling sounds.

Thinking of what the man said just now, coupled with the ability that Ziyan had demonstrated in front of him before, Jiang Xiao already had some faint doubts in his heart.

The ghost made a miracle, and Jiang Xiao took advantage of the shadows of the trees to move a little bit in the direction where the sound came from.

When he saw the scene ahead, no matter how good Rao is Jiang Xiao's psychological quality was, he couldn't help but fight a cold war.

Ahead was a clearing in the middle of the mountain forest, and Ziyan stood side by side with another diminutive man. And in front of the two of them, there was a deep pit of earth.

In the dirt pit, as Jiang Xiao had speculated, countless rats were moving rapidly in it, jumping out of the bottom of the pit from time to time, spitting out the soil in their mouths outside the pit, and in a short time, a small dirt bag had been erected.

The dirt pit was about three meters in circumference, and from Jiang Xiao's current perspective, it was impossible to see how deep it was. It's just that the dense scene of rats running back and forth makes people almost think that the pit is full of rats.

And Ziyan, who was standing in front of the pit, still had a curvaceous figure, but his two arms were empty, leaving only his sleeves hanging down at his sides.

"Why do you have to let me do such a thing?" Ziyan snorted, her voice becoming more and more impatient: "Although I am not your direct boss, I am at least one level higher than you. Since it's a matter of Dark Flame, I'll sell his favor and do me a favor, but if I dig like this, when will it be the end?"

The short man smiled dryly: "Lord Ziyan has a good relationship with the adults of our family, of course I know it." If it weren't for the tight schedule this time, we wouldn't have dared to work......"

"Time is too tight, what time is too tight?" Ziyan interrupted him unhappily: "This bone is left underground, and no one will find out, what is the difference between getting up early and getting up late?"

"That's the ......" The short man stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead, as if sweat flowed out: "We just found a skeleton underground through remote sensing yesterday, but we also got the news that it is in this location that the scenic spot is going to build a viewing platform, which has been included in the plan." If we wait until they start working, we're afraid we won't have time...... Purple Smoke, are you going to evolve a little more......"

Ziyan snorted coldly, turned her head to the short man, and said a little solemn in her voice: "I've been here for half an hour, and I've heard you urge me three times." It's still early, and there won't be any tourists in the middle of the night, so it's more than enough to dig until tomorrow morning, what is your intention in urging me to evolve more rats?"

"Intentions?" The short man was stunned for a moment, and his voice became nervous: "I...... What can I do? It's just that Lord Darkflame has confessed, and this matter must be hurried. Besides, I heard that it seems that the dean also attaches great importance to the bones of this ancestor, and personally gave an order to Lord Dark Flame, so he ......"

"Dean?" Purple Smoke said, "Why didn't you mention it before, the dean personally gave the order?" and even if you didn't say it, Dark Flame should have told me." ”

The short man stumbled and said, "Because...... Because Lord Dark Flame ......"

Under the moonlight, he couldn't see the short man's expression clearly, but Jiang Xiao could feel that he was racking his brains thinking about a response, but he was afraid that he was already sweating all over his head.

Ziyan stood in place, and he didn't see any movement, but the rats that were originally digging frantically in the dirt pit seemed to have received some instructions, and they stopped their movements in unison, froze in the middle, and then rushed towards Ziyan in an uproar.

Seeing the group of rats rushing back like a tide, the short man's face suddenly changed, and he screamed: "Do it!"
