Chapter Seventy-Three: The Law of True Fragrance
Ye Chen stretched out his hand, put his finger under the orc's nose, and died......
Dead and transparent, he didn't even have a little breath, he turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoxiao with a black line, this is a fart.
"Don't look at me, it's you who said that even the master of the Martial King Realm is not an opponent, so I let the little zombie die, who knew that it was so weak and couldn't help it, and it would be killed with one slap......" Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, with an expression that had nothing to do with me.
In the room, the three of them stared at the orc corpse.
Orcs are supposed to be something that is only in books.
But right now, a living orc corpse, not a dead and transparent orc corpse, was presented in front of the three of them.
For a while, no one figured it out.
"First the demon clan was born, and now the beast clan has emerged...... It doesn't feel like a coincidence. He Yang said slowly as he flipped over the orc's body, hoping to find something valuable on it.
But the orc had only a piece of animal skin on his body, not even a pocket, and he turned it over for a long time to no avail.
Ye Chen fell into deep thought, he had always felt that the demon clan was born out of thin air and had an inseparable relationship with himself, as well as with Zheng Tianzun, and he had always had a sense of guilt in his heart.
So for a long time, the war between the demons and humans has been regarded as a top priority.
But after listening to He Yang's words, it was the first time for him to really think about some questions, whether all this would be a certain number in the dark.
For example, even if you and your ancestor don't open the Qiankun bag, naturally someone else will.
Thinking about it carefully, I told Zheng Tianzun that the Qiankun bag has disappeared since that era, why did it appear out of thin air today?
Is it really Destiny?
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, he's out of thin air right now." After thinking about it, Ye Chen spoke.
"If what Dian Xiaoer said is true, then this orc obviously can't repel the powerhouse of the Martial King Realm, and I'm afraid there is someone else behind it."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, He Yang and Lin Xiaoxiao both looked a little serious.
If you don't deal with the problem well, you can run, but as the little widow said, it will harm the villagers here.
"Boss, what do you mean, we can't just wait here?" He Yang was a little at a loss, he was originally the enemy and I was clear, and now the only clue was broken.
"Do you remember what the shopkeeper said this morning? He said that during the previous drought, young people had gone up the river, but all of them had gone missing. ”
"But what does that mean?" He Yang seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't quite think of it.
"At the moment, we can analyze about three pieces of information, the first is that this drought is not caused by the dragon king river god, it is man-made, and it is orcs."
"And secondly, the people in the village went to the upper reaches of the river more than once, but none of them came back alive, there is a high probability that they met an orc and were wiped out, if it was said that they met a demon beast or something, it was too much of a coincidence, no matter how you think about it, there is no one who came back alive."
"The third point is that things seem to be developing in a favorable direction, that is, the people who came to the village to ask for sacrifices before are extremely strong, even if they are orcs, they have the strength to be comparable to the human Martial King Realm, or even higher, but what came tonight is a straw bale...... It means that the other party is doing something at the moment and can't come, it is very likely that he can't be disturbed or distracted, if I guess correctly, it's either healing, or it's a critical period of strength improvement. ”
After Ye Chen finished saying these three points in one breath, He Yang showed an expression of sudden realization, and kept patting his ass.
"Worthy of the boss!"
Although Lin Xiaoxiao didn't speak, her eyes when she looked at Ye Chen also changed a little, this kid is not very old, how can his mind be so meticulous, it is like the experience and mind that only an old man who has walked for many years has experience.
"After all, these are reasoning, not all of them are accurate, let's act when the opportunity comes."
The two nodded, and said that they would go, and by the night, the three of them slipped out of the village and ran in the direction of the upper river without looking back.
The cold wind of the northern night was biting, cutting the face like a knife.
The three of them walked along the dry riverbed for an unknown amount of time in the darkness, but there was no end in sight.
"Boss, could it be that we are going in the wrong direction......" He Yang couldn't help but say with a handful of snot and tears in his eyes.
Ye Chen was also a little bottomless in his heart, but looking at the signs of the riverbed drying up, the general direction should not go wrong.
At this time, the dawn came, and the sky was flooded with the color of the morning sun, bringing a trace of warmth to several people.
"It should be soon, you see that the river is still dry, which means that the water source is still upstream." Ye Chen pointed to the cracked riverbed and said.
He Yang responded with a smile and a smile, and Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to continue walking with the two.
…………
This walk is a day.
Seeing that the sun was rising in the east and setting in the west, and it was about to go down again, Lin Xiaoxiao said that she would not move a step anymore.
"You think I'm just like you men, I'm rough and thick, I've been gone for a day, and I want to rest!"
This is sad for the two of them, this place is so panicked, there is not even a place to shelter from the wind, the two of them are bitter, and they also said that as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind, they will rest immediately, which persuaded this aunt and grandmother.
After walking for another hour, just when Lin Xiaoxiao was completely planning to give up and not leave, a cave appeared at the foot of a sandy mountain at the right time.
The three of them went into the cave with a sense of relief, and He Yang walked in the front, holding a knife in one hand, ready to deal with possible dangers.
But in the end, the danger did not appear, and a coffin came into everyone's eyes.
"It's really ......unfortunate to meet a coffin in this barren mountain," He Yang shook his head and said.
"Unlike the Central Plains, the Northwest has the custom of burying people in the moats." Ye Chen already knew what this cave was for before he came in, and he was not surprised at all.
And looking at the posture, nine times out of ten, this tomb has been at the hands of tomb robbers.
"This is the tomb? I don't want to stay here! As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao saw the coffin, she immediately opened her mouth and said.
Ye Chen's face darkened, at this time, don't stay in the cave, where are you going to go?
"You don't have to stay outside the cave if you're not too cold, there's really no better place in this barren land......"
Lin Xiaoxiao listened to Ye Chen's words, and was so angry that she gritted her teeth and walked out of the cave.
He Yang wanted to go out to persuade him, but was stopped by Ye Chen's look.
"Let her go out and suffer a little, and she will come back in a while, the road behind is long, which is a good thing for her."
He Yang picked up some dry firewood, and a bonfire was quickly lit in the cave.
Lin Xiaoxiao was frozen half dead outside, looking at the bonfire inside lit red, she couldn't get angry, "I won't go in!" If you have the ability, don't come out! ”
But at this moment, He Yang walked out of the cave, Lin Xiaoxiao looked happy, thinking that He Yang was here to persuade him to go back, and he was about to pretend to be embarrassed on his face, but who knew that He Yang passed by him.
"It's so cold outside......" He Yang muttered and left directly.
"You...... You bastard! Lin Xiaoxiao saw that He Yang was going farther and farther, and she didn't know where she went, so she scolded.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw Ye Chen standing at the mouth of the cave, looking at him with a playful expression.
"Auntie, are you sure you don't come in and live in the tomb? The ancestors are fooling you, no, they are protecting you! Ye Chen said.
"If I don't go, I, Lin Xiaoxiao, will freeze to death, and I will never step into the tomb tonight!"
"Alright then, I'll go back first...... It's cold! Ye Chen shook his head, didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left.
"You are all sons of the king!"
"Huh? Who are you scolding? He Yang's voice sounded from behind again, Lin Xiaoxiao turned around, and saw He Yang carrying two wild rabbits that had caught a huge fat from nowhere.
"Scold you two stinky men!"
"Uh......" He Yang wanted to persuade, but when he saw the posture of this aunt, he forcibly held back the words in his mouth.
The aroma of barbecue gradually came out of the cave, and Lin Xiaoxiao, who was cold and hungry outside the cave, smelled the smell and almost cried angrily.
"Boss, it's almost there...... After all, it's a girl, and on such a cold day, it will freeze to death......" He Yang looked at the barbecue almost roasted, and when he thought that Lin Xiaoxiao was still outside the cave, he couldn't bear to say.
Ye Chen nodded, picked up a piece of rabbit meat and walked towards the outside of the cave.
Lin Xiaoxiao was in the night, her body temperature gradually passed, and just when she felt that she was about to be frozen and couldn't hold on, Ye Chen came out again, still holding a large piece of roast rabbit in her hand.
"Auntie, are you sure you don't come in, the barbecue is very fragrant!" Ye Chen held a large piece of meat and dangled in front of Ye Chen.
"Don't eat! I just starve to death, and I won't eat! ”
"Then you smell ......"
“…………”
…………
"It smells so good!" Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao munching on a roast rabbit leg, Ye Chen and He Yang glanced at each other and laughed.
Even this person in the bizarre Qi cultivation world can't escape the law of true incense.
A few well-fed and well-fed people threw some hay on the ground, snuggled up to each other, and fell asleep in a daze.
Most of the night passed, but before dawn, Ye Chen woke up in a daze, the dark circles on his eyes seemed to be heavier at this moment, and he hadn't slept well for three consecutive days.
The bonfire went out at some point, and a cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Just now, it looks like someone was talking...... Did you hear it wrong? ”
