Chapter 7: Shadows in the Woods

"Wow, that's disgusting, get out of the way." Yu Jiao looked at the phalanx with disgust, dragged Huo Yao's hair, and retreated back.

Huo Yao fumbled in the pocket of his sleeve and took out a cloth bag tied with a yellow rope.

He untied the yellow rope, and the cloth bag contained the same things as the finger bones, but most of them were broken, and some were even just a small fragment.

Count them, and there are more than a dozen pieces in total.

β€œ...... Did you kill so many of these things before you went to me again? Yujiao glanced at it, and looked at Huo Yao's eyes becoming a little wrong.

"This kind of is relatively weak, and it can be solved by walking on the side of the road." Huo Yao tied the yellow rope again, put the bag into his sleeve, and shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "But generally speaking, unless it's a divine relic as big as the one over there in the Delta, I usually won't look for it from afar." ”

"I have more important things to do."

"Ah...... We. Yu Jiao scratched his face, his expression slightly embarrassed.

"But since I found one today, I'll have a good night." Huo Yao's squinted eyes opened a slit, and with a smile, he took out his iron bone fan and pressed it on the end of the fan.

Zheng –

A short dagger bounced out of the fan.

"Huh? Wait, you say eat this, this thing can be eaten!? Yujiao flew up, and involuntarily retreated a long distance, looking at the big catfish whose head was hammered by Huo Yao with a face full of resentment.

"Ah, of course."

Puff –

Huo Yao stabbed the catfish in the neck with a kind smile, blood splashed everywhere, and looked at Yu Jiao and said slowly.

"It's delicious."

"Whew-"

......

"Look, in terms of results, it's pretty good."

Huo Yao sat on the ground against a tree, with a bonfire in front of him, holding a bone spur of a big catfish in his hand, and picking his teeth.

Yujiao was lying on Huo Yao's lap, his stomach was very round, like a large piece of white jade under the reflection of the bonfire, and he was still muttering words like "I can't eat ......".

Huo Yao was slightly stunned and couldn't help laughing.

The expression of the underwhelming disappeared, and he gently stroked the head of the rain Jiao twice, and his eyes opened, and there was a touch of sadness and pity in them.

"I'm very tired after so many years without help...... he gently rubbed the head of the rain Jiao with the tip of his fingers, his expression sighed and gentle, "For the time being, let's rest by my side for a while." ”

"After all, I need your strength to save your people."

Huo Yao raised his head and blew on the bonfire, and the blazing bonfire went out.

Closing his eyes, Huo Yao enjoyed a trace of peace and quiet during this journey.

The dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, and the Xia Li Village above the high hill is brightly lit, and no one disturbs the quiet forest after the rain.

"That's good, that's good......" The wide black robe covered one person and one Jiao, accompanied by the wind in the forest and the bright moon in the sky, Huo Yao's hand was on Yujiao's stomach and fell asleep deeply.

......

The next day, before dawn, Huo Yao stood up, and threw Yujiao off himself while standing up.

Yu Jiao was startled, and quickly flew up, looking at Huo Yao angrily with his waist crossed: "You are so annoying!" This is the first time! ”

Huo Yao just stretched to himself: "Hmm-ah! ”

"The morning air after the rain is so fresh, don't you thinkβ€”hey!" Huo Yao just wanted to make fun of Yu Jiao again, but when he turned his head, he saw Yu Jiao pounce directly.

"I'll bite you to death!"

"Hey, loosen my hair!!"

With restlessness and scolding, Huo Yao took Yujiao and continued to walk towards the northwest direction, the Yutuo River Delta.

In the early morning when Huo Yao walked on his front feet, in the evening, there was a figure who came to the tidal flats of Xia Li Village.

There are also many people in Xia Li Village who are talking around the big pit that Huo Yao has beaten out, curiously looking for something, but in the end they will definitely find nothing.

In the dim forest, there was a restless wind.

A figure stopped on a tall branch, felt the breath of the tidal flat, and angrily hammered the trunk of the tree, and the whole tree made a heavy cracking sound.

"Damn, someone got on the ...... first!"

There were two drops of sweat on his face, and his glowing pupils trembled slightly.

Some villagers heard the sound from above and came to check, but they only found a broken tree, and there was nothing left.

......

"Your Majesty, let's rest here tonight."

Northeast of Chuyao, five hundred miles southeast of the estuary of the Yutuo River along the coast, Chisha City, the capital of Yuanjiang Prefecture, the city lord knelt on the ground respectfully and said to the person who came.

"Well, go give it-" Emperor Chu Wei just nodded casually, then looked to the west, frowned, and muttered in a low voice, "Why is Qichang so slow......"

"Anyway, arrange another room, I still have an entourage, you know, it's Qichang."

"Yes." The lord of Akasa Castle nodded yes.

"There's been no movement in the south lately, has it?" Removing his arm armor, Emperor Chu Wei rubbed his somewhat sore wrist and asked the city lord of Chisha City again.

Chu Yao's area is very wide, and it is precisely because of the wide area that Chu Yao's surrounding area is frequented by more than one rain calamity.

The estuary of the Yutuo River is inhabited by the Rain Calamity, and eight hundred miles south of the estuary, there is another calamity beast, which lives in the coastal waters of Chu Yao, and the range of habitat extends to the middle continent.

And Akasa Castle served as the capital of Enjiang Prefecture

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no movement in the south, and there is no trace of migration in the red calamity." The city lord of Chisha City raised his head and reported to Emperor Chu Wei.

"No......" gently stroked his chin and sighed, Emperor Chu Wei waved his hand, "Okay, let's go down first, let me rest." ”

"Oh yes, pay attention to when Kai Chang arrives, he's really too slow!"

"Yes......"

The Chisa City Lord walked out of the room he had arranged for Emperor Chu Wei, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a little.

If you can leave Qichang behind, Your Majesty must have used the power of the ancestral weapon to hurry......

How could that guy in Qichang keep up with His Majesty who used the ancestral weapon......

Forget it, let's hurry up and arrange the room, Kai Chang came with His Majesty this time, I don't know how long I can stay in Chisa City, if I have time, I still want to drink two cups with Qi Chang.

There are so many top martial artists in Chu Yao, they all have dealings with each other and have a good relationship, and he and Peng Qichang haven't seen each other for a long time.

However, until then, let's solve the problem of the rain disaster disappearing first.

After all, the movement of the calamity beast is even related to the life and death of the entire Chu Yao Kingdom.
