Chapter 23 Immediately following the fork in the road

The twenty-third episode followed the fork in the road

"Hmph!" Seeing Cui Xue deliberately turning her head, the princess also sneered, and scolded secretly: "Hypocrite, fake serious!"

The backpack was on horseback, it was not soaked, there were dry clothes in it. But it was too late to change at the moment, so several women just put on dry clothes in addition to wet clothes. Fortunately, the weather is not cold, and several girls are also martial arts practitioners, and their bodies are very good.

Mr. Kura was carried across the river by Kotani, and his face had improved slightly at this moment. Cui Xue saw it in his eyes, but he was anxious in his heart: if he made him better, he would never be an opponent.

Taking a few breaths, Cui Xue patted his mount and led it to hurry upstream. The seven rangers and the coo gathered together, discussed a few words, and hurried away.

The eight princesses also hurried to follow.

Just walked more than 100 meters, and there were huge waves in the river behind him. The python let go of the crocodile and swam back to the north shore, covered in blood. The giant crocodile also floated to the surface of the water, looking embarrassed, but everyone saw that the 'wolf stick' in its mouth was gone. It seems that when he was fighting with the python, he was dragged off by the python by mistake.

The giant crocodile had blood dripping from its mouth, and it was estimated that the injury was not light, but it was not killed.

Cui Xue was stared at by the giant crocodile's 'grudging' eyes, trembling with fright, and said secretly: "If this crocodile has a memory, it will definitely haunt me." Then he urged his horse and shouted, "Go quickly!"

The crocodile sank into the water and slowly swam upstream with the crowd, and who knows when it will jump out to scare everyone.

......

"Princess, it seems that this kid Cui Xue is right. If you had detoured this cliff at the beginning, it would have been a dead end. Lillian said, pointing to the cliffs that stretched on the other side.

Lu Qi nodded, did not speak, but a strange feeling welled up in his heart. When will he be able to win this Cui Xue once?

The two lines are separated from each other, and there is always a distance of about 20 meters. temporarily threw off the harassment of the giant crocodile in the river, but Cui Xue was wary of the Linzi princess who got up.

"The common enemy is gone, so let's be careful. This is what Cui Xue said to Lao Ji.

The fat man Mardine was grinning on horseback, looking elated, for he still had three intact snake eggs in his pocket. Looks like it's time for a good meal tonight.

The bearded Jack took out his pipe and smoked it beautifully, apparently feeling much more relaxed.

The three Dow brothers were not smiling, but they were obviously smiling at the moment. Escape from death, desperate escape. If it weren't for the giant snake that came from the sky, the group would probably have been trapped in the cave and died. Thinking of this, Cui Xue shouted: "Fatty, find a stone cave and put the snake egg down!"

Martin was smug, and when she heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she immediately shouted in a strange way: "Why?"

"That's our life-saver's egg. I have to break a lot of it, and you can bear to eat the last three?" Cui Xue said rhetorically.

Bearded Jack also said, "Listen to the boss." Put the eggs down!" Cui Xue has become 'boss' in his mouth.

"Yes, yes, don't be greedy for that bite, accumulate some virtue. Lao Ji shook his head and agreed.

Tao Zhu also said: "Fatty, you are already very fat, take one bite less!"

The fat man Martin reluctantly jumped off his horse and placed three eggs in a pile of rocks. But after getting on the horse, he was still reluctant, and kept looking back at the three eggs. "Who has eaten python eggs, even if I only eat one bite, I haven't lived in vain!"

The group of people in Linzi behind him felt strange and didn't know what the fat man Martin was doing. Or the princess Lu Qi reacted quickly: "Cui Xue, this kid still has a little conscience." It must have been him who told Martin to put the rest of the snake eggs down. ”

"Princess, what are we going to do with them? Do you really want to arrest Cui Xue back?" Kelly was a little puzzled, and thought to herself: "It's not that the princess has taken a fancy to someone else, let's snatch him back." ”

"Of course I have to catch it back!" Lu Qi sneered: "This person is so interesting, it's good to keep it for fun." One sentence made a female rider around him gasp. Keep it for fun, princess, you're too arrogant.

Lu Qi glanced at the four of them, saw the shame, confusion, and shyness in their eyes, and knew that they would be wrong. So he coughed dryly twice: "This person has a lot of ideas, and it is very useful to me Linzi." ”

If Lu Qi said to Cui Xue: "You come to Zizhu to live, I will give you a house and a ticket." You give me ideas. Cui Xue will definitely agree. Isn't this the purpose of their group? But at this moment, Cui Xue was muttering in his heart, secretly worried. Because he didn't know what the princess of Linzi wanted to do with him. This is the consequence of a lack of communication.

After walking for a long time, there was no movement in the river. It seems that this large stretch of the river is the territory of the giant crocodile. Because of its existence, it solves unnecessary troubles for everyone.

On the way, the princess dismounted twice to facilitate it. It took a lot of effort to put up the curtain every time, so I fell a lot of distance each time, but it didn't take long to catch up again each time.

"Boss, it seems that this princess has taken a fancy to you. Chase after you. The bearded Jack sneered.

Cui Xue took a sip: "She looks handsome, but unfortunately she is a phoenix." ”

"Isn't the phoenix bad?"

"Although it looks beautiful, it will burn you if you get close!"

Jack smacked his lips when he heard this, as if fantasizing about being burned to death by a phoenix.

......

In the evening, there were three forks in the road along the river. Which one should you choose? Three roads, one that continues along the riverbank, and the other two that go deep into the valley.

"The goblin tribe is in the north, so let's choose the north one along the river valley. Cui Xue looked at the compass on his wrist and said.

After walking a short distance, a stone bridge appeared in front of me. The stone bridge is two meters wide and more than 20 meters long, and it spans the river valley.

"Great, it's finally time to get out of this damn valley!" cheered the crowd and crossed the stone bridge without hesitation. No one expected that after a day and night of siege, they would now be able to get rid of the threat of giant crocodiles in the river valley so smoothly.

Princess Lu Qi couldn't help frowning when she saw everyone cheering for crossing the stone bridge, and turned around and asked Mr. Cang, who had opened his eyes: "Sir, where does the stone bridge in front lead?"

Mr. Cang said slowly: "This river valley is called the Giant Crocodile Valley because there are giant crocodiles in the valley. Legend has it that there was a primitive tribe in the Valley of the Giant Crocodiles, with crocodiles as their totems. This must be the place. ”

The princess nodded and said, "Keep up! Don't let Cui Xue run away!"
