Chapter 181: Night Exploration
Generally speaking, the night is the best time to do bad things. Regarding the strange sound coming from the primeval forest inside the barbed wire fence of the Imperial Academy, Zhao Long paid special attention to it.
In order to avoid Mo Wenjian and the others from noticing, he decided to come back at night to investigate.
Although this is not a bad thing for him, he is always a little weak in his heart. After all, it's something that no one else is allowed to do.
However, this strange sound came one after another, but Xue Qikun and the others couldn't hear it.
This made Zhao Long realize that this strange sound was by no means so simple.
As night fell, the alchemists who had been tired all day began to rest under the arrangement of the Imperial Academy.
For these refiners who had traveled long distances to the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Academy was their resting place.
Zhao Long lives in the Ye family, so naturally he doesn't need it.
However, in order to be able to better approach the primeval forest, Zhao Long deliberately stayed.
In order to avoid others from showing up on him, he asked Xiaoxue and Xiu'er to stay.
After all, both of them are refiners, and it is easy to hide them if they stay.
Xue Qikun and the others wanted to stay, but in order to avoid being seen by Mo Wenjian and the others, Zhao Long beat Xue Qikun and the others back.
Anyway, they couldn't hear the strange noise, and all they needed to do was him, and they just needed to probe there.
Most of the refiners in the same room as Zhao Long fell asleep.
Zhao Long quietly left the room and walked towards the primeval forest surrounded by barbed wire that he had encountered during the day.
Halfway, he also paid special attention to the swordsmen around him, knowing that in this special period, the Imperial Academy's vigilance for the academy was unprecedentedly high.
From time to time, a patrol of second- and third-year students can be seen passing through the campus.
Zhao Long carefully avoided these patrol teams and came to the barbed wire.
I don't know if even God helped Zhao Long, there was no moonlight tonight, it was pitch black.
Perhaps it was the reason for the silence of the night, as soon as Zhao Long approached the barbed wire, he clearly heard the strange sounds of the daytime coming one after another, which was quite ghostly.
Strange, what's inside this barbed wire?
Zhao Long suppressed the curiosity in his heart, glanced around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one, he immediately came to the only entrance, looking at the lock on the door, Zhao Long was slightly shocked in his heart.
The lock was made of fine steel.
Jinggang is refined from mortal iron after thousands of tempering, and its hardness is much higher than that of ordinary mortal iron. At least the Sword Emperor level needs to be able to open.
It's a bit troublesome now, with Zhao Long's current strength, he can't open it at all.
Zhao Long looked up at the barbed wire, the entire barbed wire was more than ten meters high, and it seemed that he had to use the Heavenly Technique to enter.
Just as Zhao Long was about to use the Heavenly Technique to enter, he suddenly heard a small movement from behind, and his heart tightened.
Immediately cast the Heavenly Technique and flew up, wanting to see who would come here at this time.
Ye Chen said that the students of the Imperial Academy would never approach here, at most they would look at it from a distance.
But now that someone is following, it means that the other party is definitely not from the Imperial Academy.
It is very likely that it is the refiner who came from the Continent of All Swords to participate in the refining competition this time.
Zhao Long narrowed his eyes slightly, although the sky was very dark, so his eyes could not see the person clearly.
But his sword knowledge clearly told him that there were two people in total, and their strength was not high, and even the sword king did not reach it.
Under the shroud of sword knowledge, Zhao Long found that the two of them sneakily came to the only entrance, picked up the lock made of fine nets and looked at it, and there was no trace of opening.
Strange, this lock is not moving, what about others? Could it be that a figure has already entered and suddenly said in frustration.
Probably not, this lock is fine. There was no trace of opening at all, how could he get into another person Shadow Fox shook his head in doubt.
Zhao Long could hear that the owners of these two voices were girls.
And they are two girls he knows very well. It was Xiaoxue and Xiu'er who were left by him to hide people's eyes before.
Zhao Long couldn't laugh or cry, he landed from the sky, and deliberately frightened: Wow, you two are so bold, you two dare to come here at such a late hour.
Ah, we didn't mean it, Xiaoxue and Xiu'er were startled when they heard the sudden voice behind them, and they were relieved when they saw that the owner of the voice was Zhao Long.
Zhao Long, you scared us to death. I thought I had been discovered, but Xiaoxue clutched her chest in fear.
Zhao Long continued: I thought it was someone from the Imperial Academy!
I said, "Why did you two get here, how do you know I'm going to come and find out at night?"
Cut, who can't see your inner thoughts in your eyes during the day Xiu'er pouted disdainfully.
Didn't you say there was a weird sound here? Let's see if it's as weird as you say, right, Xiaoxue.
Well, that's it. Xiao Xue blushed and nodded.
Zhao Long didn't notice Xiao Xue's blushing face, and lowered his voice and said, "You two didn't hear the sound now, okay, hurry back to sleep."
No, we won't leave if we can't hear it. And I'm going to go in with you. Xiu'er shook her head in refusal.
Zhao Long deliberately straightened his face and said: Aren't you fooling around, what kind of danger is hidden in this forest, even I can't say it myself, aren't you coming over to make trouble for me, okay, go back quickly.
However, Xiu'er is not so easy to fight: she wants to drive us away, but there is no door. Tell you, we're going to follow you today.
Wherever you go, we will follow, and don't want to get rid of us.
Maybe it's because there are other meanings in the words, and Xiu'er herself blushed a little after speaking.
Zhao Long didn't notice this, and frowned slightly: I said two aunts and grandmothers, sleep well, you don't sleep, why are you following me to this dangerous place at night.
We're happy, isn't it, Xiao Xue Xiu'er raised her head proudly, if you dare us to go.
We don't mind shouting insults, the patrols from the Imperial Academy are bound to come here, and you don't even want to go in.
Only then did Zhao Long realize what it means to be the most poisonous woman's heart. If you can't drive it away, follow it, there is a danger in it that you may not be able to deal with with with yourself.
At this moment, Zhao Long was really in a dilemma.
Suddenly, Zhao Long remembered that Xiu'er often went against him.
Xiao Xue shouldn't follow her to do this, Zhao Long turned his target to Xiao Xue, and showed a smile like a spring breeze: Xiao Xue, I know, you must have been dragged over by Xiu'er.
Actually, you don't want to come here on a big night, do you?
Now you hurry up and take Xiu'er back, how about I refine a Heaven Rank Intermediate Knife for you tomorrow!
Hearing Zhao Long's words, Xiaoxue's mood quickly fell. There are so many people during the day, it is difficult for her to get close to Zhao Long.
Now that he finally has such an opportunity, Zhao Long actually wants to drive her away, saying that it is not sad that it is false.
Moreover, Zhao Long actually used the Heaven Rank Intermediate Knife Weapon as a bait, which made Xiao Xue even more sad, bowing her head and not speaking, as if she was protesting against Zhao Long with silence.
Seeing that Xiaoxue was silent, Zhao Long didn't know what this meant, time passed minute by minute, he couldn't waste time here.
couldn't help urging anxiously: Xiaoxue, hurry up and give a word.
As soon as Xiu'er saw Zhao Long's attitude, she couldn't see Xiaoxue's thoughts, and immediately pushed Zhao Long and shouted: Xiaoxue's meaning is already obvious, that is, to stay, do you hate to see us so much,
This cry was particularly loud in the silent night sky, and Zhao Long was so frightened that he hurriedly made a silent gesture: shhhhhh
Hey, did you hear me? There seemed to be someone talking just now, and a team of patrolling students passed by, and one of them looked at Zhao Long and asked strangely.
No, didn't you hear the rumors wrong, it's a forbidden place for our Imperial Academy, and no one can approach it.
How could anyone be there, and another student sneered.
But now, in addition to the people from our Imperial Academy, aren't there a lot of refiners here?
It would be terrible if someone did run over and the dean found out. Let's go check it out.
You're right, let's go over and take a look just to be on the safe side. The other student seemed to be convinced, and immediately led the team of students towards Zhao Long.
In the darkness, they couldn't see each other.
But once they get closer, this group of students will inevitably notice the existence of Zhao Long and the others. If it is really discovered, then it will be dangerous.
Listening to the sound of the concubine getting closer and closer, Zhao Long's heart was extremely nervous, and in this bleak night, some beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Xiu'er next to her has been covering her mouth since just now, obviously realizing her mistake.
But the other party has already come over, and no matter how much remorse there is, it will not help.
Zhao Long couldn't stop thinking in his heart, and seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, he suddenly hugged Xiaoxue and Xiu'er directly, and said in a low voice: I'm sorry, bear with me, catch me.
Before the words fell, Zhao Long hugged Xiaoxue with one hand and Xiu'er with the other, and the dantian knife was shocked, and his body gradually flew into the sky.
At the beginning, Xiaoxue and Xiu'er were taken by Zhao Long's action.
However, the two of them reacted immediately, grabbing Zhao Long's arm tightly with one hand and covering their mouth with the other, for fear of making a sound again.
Zhao Long is still growing in his body, and it is too difficult for him to hold two big living people in one hand.
But now there is no way but to hide his body in the dark night.
The group of students gradually approached the place where Zhao Long and the others had been standing before, and glanced around, but there was no trace of anyone.
Look, I'll just say there's no one here.
Maybe I've really misheard, so let's go. The group of students gradually left.
Behind them, Zhao Long slowly fell from the air with the two girls in his arms.
