CHAPTER XIV
The fire crackled a few times, and the dancing light of the fire shook the shadows around it. Zhang Lie and Blatter did not sleep, the two sat by the fire, both silent.
"What are you going to do in the future?" Abruptly, Blatter spoke.
Zhang Lie reached out and added a stick of wood to the fire: "It is important to find out who is the traitor who betrayed us. ”
"That's it?"
"That's it."
After a moment of silence, Blatter suddenly sighed: "Zhang Lie, you are the most mysterious person among the monsters I know. Although when you joined the Special Operations Group, the Coalition investigated your origins, but I always felt that it was not that simple. Anne also often said that the most incomprehensible thing she could see through was you. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"I just think that your sudden return to China must not be so simple."
"So..."Zhang Lie fell silent, staring at Blatter's handsome face without blinking.
Blatter didn't seem to see it, and he also added a piece of wood like Zhang Lie: "You have to be careful of the Alliance, after this defeat, the entire Alliance has taken the Pandora's Box Project as the last straw." And you refuse to return one of the parts with it, which is tantamount to betrayal, and sooner or later the Alliance will find you. ”
Zhang Lie had already expected this, but he didn't care much about it, he suddenly said: "Blatter, if there is something in the future, will you help me?" ”
"What will happen?"
"If."
"Then when something really happens, ask me again."
Speaking of which, both of them fell silent, as if to break the awkward atmosphere, Zhang Lie pointed to the sleeping Ying'er and smiled: "Anne and I have always felt that you are a little special to humans, and you have never sucked human blood, but I didn't expect you to offer to take her down the mountain." Do you know what will happen if you meet her teacher? ”
Blatter shook his head slowly: "I haven't thought about it so much, this girl's idea is very special, if there are more people like her, Terrans and non-Humans will not... So for that alone, I was willing to take a second risk. ”
After a pause, he added, "But I'm a vampire after all, and neither humans nor I can really understand each other. This girl is my attempt when I still have a choice. Then I'll go back, and I can't ignore the way the clan is now. ”
Under the stars, everything is the same. Those who are unsatisfactory in the world are always eight or nine times out of ten, and how can they be human beings?
At this time, only to hear a groan, Xuanzhong got up.
This time he didn't yell, Ying'er was asleep, the wounds on his body were healed again, and no matter how stupid he was, he knew what was going on. Walking up to the two of them, he said angrily, "Thank you for saving Xuanzhong." ”
Zhang Lie glanced at him and motioned to sit down by the fire: "How could you have a feud with the fox demon clan?" ”
Xuan snorted angrily and began to explain in a rambling manner. It's a pity that he speaks upside down, and he often stutters, and it took a long time for Zhang Lie and Blatter to hear a rough idea.
Xuan Zhong has been cultivating in the Qinling Mountains since he had spiritual wisdom, never going down the mountain to go out, and in the remote area, he doesn't know anything about a series of things that have happened recently. Until the fox demon clan who moved to the tribe a few months ago suddenly came and forcibly occupied the valley where he was located. Xuan Zhong was naturally not the opponent of the fox demon, and was forcibly driven out.
I knew that he was very homesick, and he knew that it would be easy to escape, but he was reluctant to leave, so he found a nearby cave to live in. Who knew that the disaster was not alone, and the demon banquet messenger who left the fox demon clan took a fancy to his hole again and robbed it. Originally, when the messenger left, he would be able to go back to the cave, but Zhang Lie and Blatter came to the door to kill people, burned his cave, not to mention, and attracted the fox demon clan.
Speaking of Xuanzhong, it's really pitiful, his residence was occupied twice, he didn't do anything, but he almost ended up being taken away from Neidan, and he had no choice but to flee to a different place, and he was almost hacked to death by the person he saved with a sword. The encounter with this monster is much worse than that of Ying'er.
Zhang Lie was silent when he heard it, in fact, as far as he was concerned, there was nothing wrong with the fox clan forcibly occupying the Xuanzhong Valley, after all, a clan was much more important than a demon. It is not a big deal for the Demon Banquet Envoy to occupy his cave, the weak eat the strong, this is the truth that he has believed in since he achieved cultivation. Xuanzhong's bizarre encounter, it is not an exaggeration to say that God is playing tricks.
Blatter asked, "Why did the Fox Demon Clan stay nearby after occupying your valley?" ”
Xuan Zhong hesitated and whispered: "Xuan is waiting for someone, and we have made an appointment to meet again." ”
"People?" Zhang Lie and Blatter glanced at each other strangely, this guy has a lot of gossip on him.
"Who is it?"
Xuan Zhong smiled: "Xuan Chong doesn't know, it's just that I have to wait for him, and I made an appointment..."
After repeated questioning by the two, he finally reluctantly spoke. It turned out that not long after Xuan Zhong had spiritual wisdom, he once wandered too far and broke into a remote village in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. When he was eating in the cornfield outside the village, he was captured by the villagers who rushed to him. Since he had never seen anyone before and didn't know how to resist, he was tied up in such a daze, but he didn't know anything at that time, and he was still munching corn when he was locked in the cage.
The villagers agreed to kill this monster, and two cultivators, master and apprentice, happened to come to the village. Surprised that Xuan Zhong didn't hurt anyone, and his spirit beast cultivation was not easy, the teenage apprentice begged the master to let him go, and gave him a pair of jeans to cover his shame. Before leaving, the young man asked him to promise not to kill anyone, and promised to come to see him again in the future.
Speaking of this, Xuan Zhong touched his pants and looked very cherished. I don't know how long he wore these jeans, and they were filthy, but this monster was so affectionate that he was reluctant to take them off. In fact, with his demon body, he lives alone in this deep mountain, and it doesn't matter if he is naked and naked, even if he picks some leaves to cover his shame, it is better than this pair of pants that he stretched into shorts, nondescript.
Of course, the two of them knew that the young man was just Kuang him, a human cultivator, how could he go back to the mountains to see a monster again? In fact, I didn't know how incredible it was to let him go at that time. And the agreement with him not to kill anyone will sooner or later kill Xuanzhong, who is a monster.
However, he is a monster who has not been formed for a long time, and he is so affectionate and righteous, and no one teaches him at all, and they can't help but admire him. Zhang Lie smiled and asked, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”
Xuan Zhong scratched his head: "Xuan wants to stay here, wait for him, I want to have a home..."
It's a brain-wrenching... Zhang Lie sighed secretly and persuaded, "Don't you know that you have completely annoyed the fox demon clan today?" If you stay around, if they catch you, no one will come to your rescue. ”
Blatter also followed: "That person is just lying to you, he won't come again, you better leave." ”
I didn't know that Xuanzhong didn't listen at all, just shook his head vigorously: "Xuanzhong must wait for him here, I'm leaving, he's coming, what if I can't find Xuanzhong?" This is Xuanzhong's home, and I won't leave. ”
Zhang Lie and Blatter looked at each other, and they both felt helpless, this guy was brainless to the end, and it seemed that he couldn't be convinced. Zhang Lie was about to say that he would go with him, but suddenly his heart moved, and he already had an idea.
"Is that good, I know a beautiful place, no people, no monsters, you can go and live there. If you come with me, maybe you can run into that person outside, isn't it better than waiting here? If you are killed by the fox demon clan, won't you be able to see him even more? ”
Xuan Zhong was stunned for a moment, and tilted his head to think about it: "Really? In what place? ”
Zhang Lie smiled mysteriously: "I saved you, how could I lie to you?" Nature is true. He was reluctant to expose the secrets of the Heavenly Book in front of Blatter, and decided to wait until the breakup before letting Genzhong live in.
Zhang Lie's consideration is actually very simple, he needs to cultivate his own team as soon as possible, this Xuanzhong in front of him is stupid, but the potential is endless, if it is handed over to Jian Xian to cultivate, it may become a big help in the future. Otherwise, with his crisp and neat personality, he would not take the initiative to find a trouble to bring with him.
To have a home and a chance to meet that person, Xuan Chong was finally moved, and he hesitated: "Xuan Chong promised you, but she..."
Blatter said indifferently: "Don't worry about this, I will send her down the mountain safely." ”
Xuanzhong finally became happy and nodded fiercely: "I'll go with you!" ”
After nagging for half a night, the sky is white at this moment, and it is almost dawn. With a wave of his hand to extinguish the fire, Zhang Lie got up and said to Blatter: "Let's say goodbye here, I hope there will be a meeting in the future." ”
Blatch nodded: "I'm honored to work with you for decades. ”
This is a bit of a trick, in fact, with Blatter's cleverness, how could he not see that Zhang Lie had other plans? Although he didn't know the general situation, he also knew that it would be difficult for the two of them to talk for a long time like tonight in the future.
At this time, Ying'er also woke up and learned that she was going to break up, so she couldn't help but be sad with Xuanzhong. A human girl and a monster in the shape of King Kong cry opposite each other, such a spectacle, probably I won't see a second time in my life.
Farewell, Blatter took Ying'er down the mountain, Zhang Lie left with Xuanzhong, and the two soon disappeared from each other's field of vision. Zhang Lie hadn't thought about where to go at this time, so he decided to arrange Xuanzhong first, this guy doesn't know how to hide his demonic energy, and his style is so chic, I'm afraid that taking him down the mountain will be exposed immediately.
"Xuanzhong, come here." Zhang Lie beckoned to him and took out the Heavenly Realm Book in his arms.
When Jian Xian was in retreat and cultivating, he had already taught him the method of opening. Xuanzhong walked over and saw that he suddenly took out a bamboo slip, and he was at a loss for what reason. Zhang Lie's index finger touched the three strange-shaped runes in the middle of the bamboo slip, silently reciting the incantation to input mana, and soon a burst of fine light appeared, and a light cluster glowing with multicolored light patterns had appeared on the Heavenly Realm Book.
"W-What is this?" Xuanzhong took two steps back with some fear.
"Your home is inside, go inside." Zhang Lie laughed, pushed him in, and followed in.
What does it look like in the Heavenly Realm Book?
**
In the center of the remains of an amphitheater on the outskirts of Rome, a piece of marble was lifted and two men climbed out. Looking through the moonlight, it was Anne and John, who had been missing for a long time.
Pull the lens back many days ago...
"Are you ready?" John asked Anne beside him.
Anne didn't say a word, just raised the sniper bow in her hand. The bow body is equipped with four black arrows twisted together, the body of the arrow is crystal clear, and there are faint streams of gloomy light, this arrow is the convergence of all Anne's demonic power, and the power is extraordinary.
After careful investigation, John found the weakest point of the barrier, and now the two of them concentrated all their strength on the weapons in their hands, preparing to break through the barrier and escape in one fell swoop.
"Okay, that's it, fight!" John let out a low sigh and pulled the trigger on a marked spot on the rock wall in front of him.
Anne fired arrows at the same time, and the attacks of both men hit that point almost simultaneously. The bullet entered the rock wall, and the latter hit the tail of the previous one, and the successive collisions quickly nailed into the foot. At the same time, Anne's black arrow pierced through the hole, and the four arrows twisted into a strand suddenly separated, and spun wildly like a mouth flare.
At first, there was nothing unusual, but suddenly, several thick currents were emitted from the surface of the rock wall, and the entire surface of the cave turned cyan in the crackling sound, and countless ancient scriptures emerged, and the currents continued to dance wildly.
I thought that this blow was just a little break through the enchantment, but I didn't know that this enchantment was closer than the two imagined, and it actually moved the whole body. Not knowing what the consequences would be, they were horrified to see that several cracks appeared on the top wall of the cave, extending and expanding, and the large and small stones were gargling and falling.
"Oh no, the cave is going to collapse!" John exclaimed, but the barrier has not been broken at the moment, where can he hide?
In a moment, the crack had widened throughout the cavern, and the smooth stone walls cracked like the back of a turtle. The fallen rocks were as big as fists, dusty, and chaotic.
If they can't break through the barrier again, the two of them will definitely be buried alive. John was in a hurry, and Anne suddenly grabbed the sniper bow and rushed forward, aiming one end of the bow at the stone crack in the wall and smashing it hard!
Woo-la-la! The enchantment, which was already in a state of chaos, was suddenly vented, and countless currents frantically surged towards the Sniper God Bow, and the entire bow body immediately turned cyan. Anne, who bore the brunt of the attack, was like bearing the power of the entire enchantment, only to hear her scream, her eyes, mouth and nose splash blood at the same time, and she was blown away by the electric catapult.
But because of her smashing, the chaotic barrier finally collapsed completely, and with a crisp sound like glass cracking, the blue light on the surface of the rock wall burst out, and the rock where the two attacked collapsed, revealing another passage.
It's no wonder that the barrier here is the weakest, and there is still room behind it. At this time, without the support of the enchantment, the already crumbling cave began to collapse unscrupulously, and large pieces of stone fell like rain.
With no choice, John had no choice but to burrow into the passage with a cat's waist, and after running two steps, he suddenly stopped with a jolt and looked back. Anne, who was badly wounded, leaned half-on a piece of animal bone, and her arrows shattered the boulders that were falling towards her. With each arrow, she escaped blood, and small stones smashed her body to scars.
Even in this situation, Anne refused to ask for help.
After a moment's hesitation, John muttered, "I must be crazy!" He turned around and ran back, picked up Anne and ran.
