Chapter 319: Gu Xin's Teacher
After Mu Xiaofeng heard this shout, he hurriedly got dressed and came out to check, at this time Qin Baoyi and Mu Yanghua were in Gu Xin's room, but Gu Xin was gone. No matter how they shouted, Gu Xin was nowhere to be seen.
Mu Xiaofeng took a closer look at the room, he touched the futon that Gu Xin had slept on, the futon was neatly folded, and there was still residual warmth, it didn't look like it had been taken away.
And Gu Xin was following the innkeeper at this time in a dark and claustrophobic room, which was the basement of the inn.
When the innkeeper saw Gu Xin, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "My subordinates see Lord Gu Xin, I don't know what happened to Lord Gu Xin's sudden arrival in Zhu Zhilu." ”
Gu Xin nodded, she motioned for the innkeeper to get up, and then asked, "Uncle Xukai, I didn't think that we would meet again in this way today. Gu Xin was still a little wary of this innkeeper named Xukai, after all, he was a member of the Xujia family.
Xukai is a member of the Demon Clan's Void Family, and he has always been very unpopular in the Void Family, because he is born with insufficient vitality, and he has never broken through the two solutions for the rest of his life. But he is such a person, he is very good at studying the Yuan Qi technique, which makes him favored by Gu Xin at a young age.
Although Xukai and Gu Xin are not members of the same family, he had a very good relationship with Gu Xin when he was in Xuanzhi Land in the past, and the two of them were also teachers and friends. It can be said that Gu Xin's previous skills were all taught by Xukai, including the Four Elephants Annihilation Method, the strongest vitality technique of the demon race, all of which Xukai stole out of the cheats for Gu Xin to practice.
However, Gu Xin is still very competitive, although these four elephant extermination methods are said to have cheats that can be consulted, but not everyone can learn them.
It's just that this incident alarmed the demon king Gu Yue at that time, although Gu Yue didn't blame his niece, but the matter of stealing the cheats was still very serious. At that time, Gu Yue announced that Xukai would be exiled, and he would never be allowed to set foot in the land of Xuan.
Because the Void Spirit wants to usurp the position of the Demon King, this also makes Gu Xin wary of all the people of the Void Family, even if it is Xukai who had such a good relationship with him before.
Seeing Gu Xin so cold, Xu Kai was a little puzzled, he stood up and looked directly at Gu Xin, and asked, "Lord Gu Xin, we have an old friendship anyway, why are we so indifferent after seeing me?" ”
"Uncle Gu Yue was murdered by the Void Spirit, the Void Spirit is going to sit on the throne of the Demon King next, how can you say that you are also a member of the Void Family, how can I believe you?" Gu Xin mentioned Gu Yue's death, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten again.
Xu Kai heard the news of Gu Yue's death, and his two pupils were also doubled, and the whole person was very shocked. He immediately knelt down in front of Gu Xin, and then swore that he would always be loyal to Gu Xin and help her seize the position of Demon King.
After hearing this, Gu Xin felt a little incredible, it stands to reason that if the Void Spirit becomes the king of the Demon Race, he himself will have a better chance to return to the Xuanzhi Land, why should the Void Kai be loyal to himself instead.
Xukai sighed at this time, and he told Gu Xin that his exile was not the order of the Demon King at that time, but the meaning of the Void Spirit. As a member of the virtual family, he cares about Gu Xin all the time, which makes the virtual spirit feel unhappy. And the secret book of stealing the Four Elephants to destroy the law was originally intended to be used by the people of the Xujia family, but he handed over an ancient heart, which made the Void Spirit feel that he was a traitor.
Gu Xin temporarily believed what Xukai said, but after all, she and Xukai hadn't seen each other for several years, and she still didn't fully trust this person.
At this time, the noise of the inn commotion came from above their heads, and Gu Xin heard Mu Xiaofeng's shouting. It seems that these guys have also woken up, and they must be a little worried that they didn't see themselves in the room.
Thinking that Mu Xiaofeng would worry about herself, Gu Xin couldn't help but smile, she stroked the long hair around her ears, and then decided to follow Xukai out of the basement of this inn.
Seeing that Gu Xin followed Xukai out of nowhere, Mu Yanghua ran forward as soon as possible, she grabbed Gu Xin's hand and asked with concern, "Sister Gu Xin, are you okay?" You're gone early in the morning, and it makes us all worry about death. ”
Gu Xin nodded, and then introduced Xukai to everyone. It turned out that Xu Kai and Gu Xin had known each other for a long time, which also reassured everyone.
Xu Kai saw that everyone was up at this time, so he went to the back kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Mu Xiaofeng Jian Xukai left, and then walked in front of Gu Xin, staring directly at Gu Xin. Gu Xin was a little embarrassed by Mu Xiaofeng's serious eyes, she could only blush, and then lowered her head.
"Gu Xin, can this guy believe it?"
Gu Xin was a little hesitant at this time, after all, he didn't know if he could trust Xukai.
Before Gu Xin's words could be spoken, at this time, Xu Kai came over with a hot breakfast, and he greeted everyone with a smile, "Are you all hungry?" This is the breakfast I have prepared for you. But I didn't talk to Lord Gu Xin for long just now, I don't know where a few people are going to go to Zhu Zhilu this time? ”
"Death Valley!" Mu Xiaofeng slowly said these three words, these three words made Xukai almost not hold the food in his hand, and the whole person trembled.
Xu Kai put the food in his hand on the table, and then seriously asked Gu Xin if this was true.
Gu Xin nodded, but Xu Kai immediately knelt down and pleaded: "Lord Gu Xin, this Death Valley is too dangerous, no one has ever been able to come out alive, I ask Lord Gu Xin not to go to the Death Valley for the future of the demon race." ”
Listening to Xukai's words, Gu Xin was a little hesitant, she thought that what Xukai said made sense, but she had already promised Mu Xiaofeng to accompany her. It's a bit bad to back down at this juncture.
"Then Gu Xin, you will stay here, right?" Mu Xiaofeng took a few bites of food, then stood up and prepared to go back to the room to pack up his things, "If you die, then your dream of recovering the country will be gone." ”
Although Mu Xiaofeng really didn't want Gu Xin to follow him, he didn't say that it was okay, Gu Xin was born with a stubborn temper, and the more Mu Xiaofeng didn't let himself pass, the more he wanted to follow him.
Gu Xin slapped the table at this time, then walked in front of Mu Xiaofeng, sandwiched Mu Xiaofeng's head under his armpit, and then clenched his other hand into a fist, and kept beating on Mu Xiaofeng's head, "You stinky brother, I am one of the four generals of the demon clan, you little kid dare to go over, what dare I do!" ”
"Alright, alright! Leave me alone, men and women don't kiss. Mu Xiaofeng hurriedly begged for mercy, his head had already reached the soft part of Gu Xin, which made Mu Xiaofeng feel a little embarrassed.
Since Gu Xin still decided to follow, several people also hurriedly finished breakfast and prepared to leave, if they could reach Death Valley one moment earlier, Zhou Linlin would be rescued one moment earlier.
After Mu Xiaofeng and the others left, Xukai called a demon clan at this time, and when this demon clan saw Xukai, he half-knelt down and saluted, "Lord Xukai, you summoned me over so early, what are your orders?" ”
Xukai smiled, then motioned for this demon clan to lean his ears over, and whispered: "You go to the Xuanzhi Land, find the Void Spirit Lord, and tell him that Gu Xin is now in Zhu Zhilu, but Gu Xin is now going to Death Valley, and the Void Spirit Lord can not worry about it for the first time." Unexpectedly, Xukai kept saying that he would be loyal to him, but he was still working for the Void Spirit behind his back.
After listening to Xukai's words, this demon nodded, and left Xukai's inn with small steps.
On the other hand, on Mu Xiaofeng's side, they were rushing towards Death Valley non-stop, but the place in this Death Valley was too remote, and they hadn't seen Death Valley after three days of driving. They don't know when the surrounding jungle has gradually turned into a desert.
After three days of traveling, Mu Xiaofeng and the others already felt a little tired, and several girls couldn't walk at all, they sat down on the ground to rest, panting heavily.
Mu Xiaofeng realized that he was in a bit of a hurry, so he asked Zhang Wenyu to scout nearby, and he guarded the others to rest in place.
Mu Xiaofeng half-squatted on the ground, he took out the map of Zhu Zhilu that Hei Shan had left for him, it stands to reason that Death Valley was already near here, but he saw that there was a desert all around, and there was no shadow of Death Valley at all.
At this time, Mu Yanghua's scream suddenly came from behind Mu Xiaofeng. Mu Xiaofeng nervously pulled out the White Tiger Sword, turned around and rushed to Mu Yanghua's side. Mu Yanghua's screams also attracted Zhang Wenyu, who was patrolling around, back, and everyone gathered to Mu Yanghua's side.
"There's... Yes... There are skulls! Mu Yanghua shook her hand and immediately hugged Mu Xiaofeng. Mu Xiaofeng looked down and saw that a small half of his skull was exposed next to where Mu Yanghua was sitting.
Mu Xiaofeng patted Mu Yanghua on the back and comforted him, for Mu Xiaofeng, white bones and death are already common things, but Mu Yanghua is not used to this kind of thing, so it is inevitable that she will be afraid.
Mu Xiaofeng carefully peeled off the sand around the skull, this was an orc's bone, and this orc's skeleton was very complete, without any fractures in his body, it looked like he might have starved to death in this desert.
"If that's the only courage you have, I advise you not to go to Death Valley." An unfamiliar man's voice came from behind Mu Xiaofeng and them.
Mu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wenyu turned around vigilantly, and they saw a man in black civilian clothes standing in front of them, with a black mask on his face, only two eyes exposed.
Mu Xiaofeng held the White Tiger Sword tightly in his hand at this time, then pointed at the strange man in front of him and asked, "Who are you?" When did you follow us. ”
