Chapter 328: Colorful Sparrow
Several people's hearts suddenly froze, Su Xing pinched the trick in his hand, and was the first to walk towards the place where the cry came from.
Seeing this, He Chang was the second to follow. The remaining You Gang and another female monk Chen Hanliu, who was also in the early stage of foundation building, hesitated slightly, and followed one step behind.
The clearing was fairly level, and the nearby dirt, broken beams, and broken tiles had been cleared. Bypassing a few tents and coming behind them, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
On the hillside not far away, a little girl covered in dirt was crying very sadly.
Su Xing walked a few meters in front of her to confirm that she was indeed just a mortal. He let down his guard, walked up to her, and looked at her silently.
The little girl was covered in mud and stepped barefoot in the dirt. The complexion is slightly dark, and he should be a descendant of mountain people. The little face was stained with tears and dust, and it was not until he noticed that Su Xing and the others were approaching that the cry suddenly shrank. With big teary eyes, he looked at several people with fear.
Chen Hanliu looked to be in her twenties, she looked delicate, and she showed a kind smile. Walk up to the little girl. But at this time, the little girl had already hid behind a tree, revealing only a pair of big tearful eyes, looking at a few people timidly.
"Kid, are you a villager from Erniu Village? Do you know where the rest of Erniu has gone? ”
The little girl's tearful eyes lit up slightly for a moment, but she still hid behind the tree, crying silently and refusing to speak.
Su Xing thought about it and took out the token of Erniu Town:
"Do you recognize this? I am the new warden of Erniu Town. ”
"Grandpa Mayor's sign!" Unbeknownst to her, the little girl suddenly reacted. He jumped out from behind the tree, as if surprised. But then the eyebrows on his face wrinkled together:
"But isn't the mayor's grandfather dead?"
Su Xing and the others were silent, and the rest of the people in the three towns could escape, but the mayor couldn't. They all died in the old dragon turned over a few days ago.
"I'm the new mayor." Su Xing said softly.
The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up:
"I seem to have heard Sister Jiang say it!"
Then tears flowed from her eyes again, and she wiped her hands wildly, choked up, and said:
"Brother Mayor Town, Aunt Lan was captured by monsters, and Uncle Zhou ran away! Sister Jiang...... Sister Jiang also followed. Go and save them! ”
Su Xing's brows furrowed slightly, and then Chen Hanliu walked up to her and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, kids, we'll get them back. But you have to tell us slowly. ”
The fists in the little girl's hands were clenched tightly, and Chen Hanliu's approach seemed to make her a little scared.
Seeing that she had been staring at herself closely, Su Xing understood that maybe she only trusted herself who had the token now, so she stepped forward and squatted in front of her, and asked softly:
"Where did Uncle Zhou go? Did you go chasing monsters? ”
The little girl was willing to speak up, and nodded vigorously.
She was too frightened to describe clearly, so Su Xing used the question to deduce what happened.
It didn't take long for several people to know what had happened from the teary-eyed little girl.
Erniu Town was attacked, and Lan Xian should have fallen into the mouth of the "monster", Zhou Mu chased after him and followed into Laolongling. After the remaining "Sister Jiang" settled the townspeople, she also chased them out.
Su Xing glanced in the distance, where tall cedar forests spread across the rolling hillsides. From time to time, you can see fallen trees, and there are faint traces of ground cracks nearby.
Perhaps the other townsfolk retreated too hastily and left the little girl out.
At this moment, He Chang also walked over and glanced at the little girl. Then his face was a little solemn:
"The footprints of the demon that attacked are very deep, and it is very likely that it is a negative mountain."
Negative Mountain!
Several people suddenly looked at each other, before coming to Erniu Town, Nancheng had let them read some information about Lao Longling.
There are many types of dragons in Laolongling, in general. The more these dragons resemble real dragons, the richer their blood. The stronger it is on this ridge.
And the name of the negative mountain is derived from the negative part, and the negative part is the ninth son of the dragon. It has been specially marked that it is one of several powerful dragons in the ridge.
"Lord Keeper, what should I do now?" He Chang stared at Su Xing and said.
Looking at Su Xing, who was frowning slightly, You Gang's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and said:
"Laolongling is now in turmoil, surrounded by monsters and cults. We have a lot of responsibilities, but we shouldn't act rashly. If you want me to say, we should first thoroughly understand the situation before making a decision. ”
Chen Hanliu also showed a hesitant look and said in a low voice:
"Although Zhou Mu and Lan Xian are from miscellaneous disciples, the two cooperate tacitly, and their combat power is comparable to that of ordinary miscellaneous disciples......"
She was halfway through her speech, when she suddenly saw the little girl staring at them with wide eyes. Suddenly, I felt ashamed in my heart, and I didn't speak again.
The two disagreed, but He Chang did not express his position. Su Xing groaned for a while and said:
"Gotta chase it."
You Gang was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Su Xing:
"The smoke in the tent has not been extinguished, and the signs of the fight are very new, indicating that the incident happened not long ago. The speed of the negative mountain is not fast, if you chase it at this time, you may be able to catch up quickly, and you will not go deep into the old dragon ridge. ”
He Chang nodded slightly, indicating agreement.
This truth can be understood if you think about it carefully, but Su Xing knows that his next sentence is the key:
"He Chang will chase after me, You Gang and Chen Hanliu, you stay here and collect the fleeing townspeople. Wait for messages. ”
As soon as these words came out, You Gang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Hanliu hesitated. But Su Xing didn't say much:
"I'm the town guard, do as I say, and I'll take care of everything."
The two looked at each other, didn't say anything more, and nodded in response.
Then he looked at the little girl and asked:
"What's your name?"
The little girl seemed to know that Su Xing was going to save people, and she stammered a little but said with a very serious look
"I ...... My name is...... Rainbow Sparrows. ”
......
"Caique, this is the name we often take among the mountain people."
After Su Xing decided, he did not delay any longer. Together with He Chang, he followed the huge footprints left by the negative mountain and chased all the way to the direction of Laolongling.
The man who was silent all the way, but suddenly took the lead in speaking at this moment, was like opening the conversation:
"After the earthquake, there is a bird that often gathers in Laolongling. Not only do they have fewer ground cracks where they fall, but they are often not affected by aftershocks. With its colourful feathers, this bird is the embodiment of good fortune in hill folk mythology, which is why it is used to name our children. ”
He Chang suddenly stopped, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of soil on the huge five-claw footprints in front of him:
"It's not far away, it's in ...... This mountain. ”
Su Xing looked up, and the terrain in front of him began to rise sharply, and lush trees grew densely along the rugged rocks. Some kind of gigantic being has stepped out of a conspicuous path into the deep mountains.
One step forward, is the old dragon ridge.
