Chapter 20: Aunt Ping and the Bouncing Slime
When the bell and drum appeared in front of Zhao Yi again, the battle was obviously much bigger.
To his left stood a blue-haired and cold-faced little brother, with a cyan Peng bird painted on his arm, and a vicious Yaksha face hanging from his waist.
On the right side of the bell and drum, there stood the old fairy, her hair was blue-gray, she carried a spear, and a delicately shaped magic bell was tied around her waist.
Finally, on top of the head of the bell and drum, the iron-gray slime lay on top of the master's head, staring sharply at the salt people in front of him.

Zhao Yi looked at the combination of this team of demon gods + monsters + immortals + yakshas, and his legs were a little weak for a while: "Shaoshao...... Shaojun, dare to ask if we can go? ”
"Lead the way, and we'll cross the river to the salt of the earth."
The bell and drum learned to face coldly, and ordered to the envoy of the salt god.
The salt people were afraid that the demon god would be angry, so they immediately packed up their belongings and set off, leading the way in front.
"Xiao Yanjun is worried that these mortals have other plans? Why did you suddenly put on such an expression. ”
The older fairy joked with the bell and drum with some amusement, and seemed to be a little curious about his sudden pretense,
"Aunt Ping, don't be kidding me! This is my first time going out, and I have to look like a demon god, and I can't let the salt of the earth look down! ”
Even Xiao couldn't help but laugh a little when he said this, there was a slight relaxation on his perennially cold face, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth loomed.
"Haha, you are a demon god, so naturally you don't have to worry about mortals being disrespectful to you, not to mention that the king will also pay attention to the situation of the salt in the earth, and he will definitely not let you be wronged."
The fairy smiled heartily, her tone was still unhurried, but she didn't drag her feet in her moves, and she didn't change half a point in the face of the demon god in time.
"Aunt Ping, Brother Zhongli doesn't worry about me, so he specially asked you to go with you, you won't think I'm causing you trouble, right?"
The current appearance of the bell and drum is really too deceptive, and the sequelae of the crossing have almost reshaped his consciousness, and his dependence on several elders and immortals has almost become instinctive.
But only Lirum, who knows all the details of the bell and drum, knows that all his actions are carefully designed, and according to the subconscious impression of the bell and drum, this special speaking technique is called "tea talk and tea language".
However, how could Aunt Ping, who has always been unruly, know these tricks of Zhonggu, although she is not small among the immortals, and she has never put on a show, even if her strength can be the same as Zhongli and the final enemy, but she is no different from mortals.
When Zhong Gu was in Tianheng, he didn't see her many times, but he had a lot of impressions of this elder who came and went like the wind.
"Why did Xiao Yanjun say this, I am an idle and comfortable person, and I am only busy with trivial matters on weekdays, and this time the matter of salt in the earth is very important, and my wife should go out to take care of you juniors."
Aunt Ping waved her hand absently, and walked briskly forward, looking like she was also looking forward to this trip, which made Zhong Gu think of Ganyu's introduction to her.
"The true monarch of Gechenlang City...... Ah, that is, Aunt Ping, who is often referred to as Aunt Ping, she is actually a very reliable person, but her temperament is very uninhibited, especially like to mess around in the crowd, but if there is something important to find her, she will not hesitate to make a move. ”
While thinking about it, Zhong Gu sped up a few steps to keep up with Aunt Ping's pace, and for a while he also had some expectations for this journey.
Xiao followed quietly and continued to advance with the large army.
When they arrived at a ferry on the side of the Bishui River, they wanted to go to the salt of the earth, which was the nearest place to cross the river, and it was from here that Zhao borrowed them to go back and forth to the salt of the earth.
However, there were no boats on the river, apparently because someone didn't want them to go to the salt of the earth.
"It's strange, when we crossed the river in the morning, there were still spare boats here, but why were they all gone......"
Seeing this, Xiao dodged close to the river, and after quickly checking the situation, he immediately came back to inform him of the situation.
"There are traces of the water element by the river, it should be the work of the demonic beasts in the water, let's take a step late."
Zhong Gu was not too surprised, after all, Zhao Yi and them were attacked by the Sea Clan Demon Beast before, and at this time, the other party destroyed the boat crossing the river, and the purpose was too obvious.
"I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to transfer the boat now, so it's better to let me freeze the river, and let's just step on the ice."
What kind of ice crossing the sea is this? Zhong Gu couldn't help but flash such a complaint in his mind.
Aunt Ping didn't have too much difficulty crossing the Bishui River, she was an immortal, she usually came and went freely, a river was not in her consideration at all, if it wasn't for Zhao Yi and these mortals, she could reach the salt of the earth in a single thought.
"Those demonic beasts don't want Zhao to return to the salt in the ground, and they must also be ambushed in the water, and it is really risky to step on the ice to go over."
The bell and drum retracted their thoughts of flying, and finally rejected the proposal.
"Why don't I turn into a prototype and take everyone to fly over, my prototype is big enough to carry two more trips."
Xiao calmly proposed his method, but the bell and drum shook his head after looking at Xiao's thin body.
How can you let the mortals of the salt of the earth ride the rays? He didn't ride it himself!
Zhong Gu thought about it carefully, and his eyes couldn't help but glance up, looking at the round figure of iron gray on his head.
"Huh?"
Rimuru woke up instantly, feeling as if he had been targeted by something strange.
"Rimuru, I remember you can manipulate the rock elementals, right? And you can still get bigger, right? ”
"Why don't you take these mortals across the river? Our Aunt Ping and Xiao protect the Dharma for you. ”
