Snake Ming nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face: "That's right." The three of us are one, and no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them together. ”

He paused, then continued, "That kid is cunning, but we're not vegetarians either. As long as we work together, we will definitely find him and take back what belongs to us. ”

Kuroo spoke, his voice hoarse and deep, "Don't forget, we have other tasks. Going deep into the wasteland may be able to find better materials to improve our strength. ”

There was a greedy glint in his eyes, as if he had seen the rare materials beckoning to them.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere between them became harmonious again. They turned and walked towards the depths of the wasteland, and their figures were soon swallowed up by the boundless wind and sand.

Rattle sighed and nodded helplessly: "Okay, but we still have to be careful. ”

The three of them had already decided, and they continued to chase in the direction where Zhao Qi and the others left. Their figures weaved swiftly across the wasteland, like ghostly shadows.

However, they didn't know that Zhao Qi and the others had already left the depths of the wasteland and went to a small town called "Shadow Town". And at this moment, Zhao Qi and the others did not notice the tracking of the three snakes.

At the entrance of Shadow Town, Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao, and Lan Lingling were admiring this quaint and mysterious town.

The town's buildings are old and quirky, and the streets are lined with stalls and shops. The lively crowds and the raucous sounds give the town a lot of life and energy.

"Looks like it's very lively here, let's go in and have a look!" Yi Wuxiao said excitedly.

Zhao Qi smiled and nodded: "Well, it's really interesting here." However, we still have to be careful, after all, there are all kinds of people here. ”

Lan Lingling also reminded: "That's right, we still have to be vigilant. ”

Just as the three of them were about to enter the town, the three of them also quietly came to the entrance of Shadow Town. They hid in the shadows, watching the figures of Zhao Qi and the others disappear into the crowd.

"Looks like they're already in town, what are we going to do?" Ringtail asked.

A hint of cunning flashed in the snake's eyes: "Let's find a place to hide first, and then follow them quietly." Wait until you find the right opportunity to do it. ”

Blacktail nodded, "Good idea." However, there are many people here, so we need to be careful. ”

So, the three of them found a hidden place to hide. They patiently waited for the opportunity to come, ready to deal a fatal blow to Zhao Qi and the others.

Hidden in a thick fog, the town seems to be isolated from the rest of the world, exuding an air of simplicity and mystery.

When they walked into the town, they couldn't help but be captivated by what they saw.

The quaint stone pavement winds and turns, lined with buildings of different styles.

The buildings are dominated by dark wood and stone, with delicate carvings and patterns, revealing a strong sense of history.

Thick curtains hang from the windows, and occasional light peeks through the cracks, adding a touch of mystery.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Lan Lingling couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes flashing with curiosity, looking around at everything around her.

Yi Wuxiao also nodded and agreed: "It's really good, I didn't expect that in this wasteland, there is such a paradise hidden." ”

Zhao Qi looked at the two of them with a smile, and felt a hint of surprise in his heart.

He'd been to Shadowtown a few times, but each time he'd been captivated by the atmosphere. The people here seem to live a life of peace and contentment.

In the bustling market of Shadow Town, Lin Xuan was dressed in brocade clothes and walked through the flow of people with a calm demeanor.

His gaze was as sharp as an eagle, and from time to time he swept over the various stalls and pedestrians, as if searching for something.

Just as he was wandering around, a crisp laugh caught his attention.

He followed the sound and saw two young men standing in front of a stall talking and laughing.

The man was dressed in green clothes and had a good demeanor; The woman was dressed in a light blue dress with a delicate flower on her head, which looked fresh and refined. It was Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling.

Lin Xuan frowned slightly, secretly speculating about the identities of the two in his heart. When he noticed Lan Lingling, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The woman's skin was better than snow, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and there was a faint smile on her lips, like a blooming blue lotus, which was particularly eye-catching in the hustle and bustle of the market.

He subconsciously walked over, pretending to be interested in the goods on the stall, but in fact secretly observed the two.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling didn't seem to notice his arrival, and still laughed to themselves.

"This girl, I wonder if you can tell me what is interesting in this Shadow Town?" Lin Xuan suddenly opened his mouth to talk, staring directly at Lan Lingling.

Lan Lingling was slightly stunned, and turned his head to see a strange man staring at him, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes. She said lightly, "There are a lot of fun things in Shadow Town, but we don't seem to know each other, so there is no need to tell you." ”

Yi Wuxiao also noticed Lin Xuan's strange gaze, he frowned, stood in front of Lan Lingling and said, "What do you have to do?" We don't seem to know you. ”

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, not caring about Yi Wuxiao's cold attitude. He continued: "In Xia Lin Xuan, I have just arrived in Shadow Town and want to make some friends. Looking at the extraordinary bearing of the two, they must not be ordinary people. ”

Yi Wuxiao was about to speak, but was pulled by Lan Lingling's sleeve. She shook her head slightly, signaling Yi Wuxiao not to act rashly.

Then she turned to Lin Xuan and said, "We are just passing by here, and we have no intention of making friends. Your Excellency should find someone else. ”

After speaking, she pulled Yi Wuxiao to turn around and leave, leaving Lin Xuan stunned in place.

Lin Xuan looked at the distant backs of the two, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. He said to himself, "Hmph, it's kind of interesting. This woman is not only beautiful and moving, but also quite smart and witty. Looks like I'm going to have to find a way to get close to them. ”

At this moment, a voice sounded in his ears: "Lin Shao, why are you in a daze here?" The auction is almost underway, and we need to hurry up and get a good spot. ”

Lin Xuan came back to his senses and saw that it was his own subordinates who had found it.

He smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I met two interesting people." I'll leave the auction to you, and I'll have to take care of some personal matters. ”

With that, he turned and walked into the crowd and disappeared. Only the subordinate was left muttering in the spot: "Private matter? What's a private matter? Could it be that you can't fall in love with a girl? ”

In the lively Shadow Town Market, Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling leisurely shuttled through the crowd.

Their arrival didn't attract much attention, except for the occasional few envious or inquiring glances at Lan Lingling, which were gently dissolved by her with an indifferent smile.

However, a cold gaze followed them all the time.

It was Lin Xuan, a pretentious cultivator who had developed a strong interest in Lan Lingling's beauty and temperament, but at the same time he was hostile to Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao.

"Hmph, two boys who don't know the height of the sky dare to compete with me for beauty." Lin Xuan sneered in his heart, but his face was impassive. He quietly followed behind the three of them, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Zhao Qi seemed to notice something, he frowned slightly, looked back, and happened to see Lin Xuan's gloomy eyes. His heart sank, but on the surface he was silent.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhao?" Yi Wuxiao noticed Zhao Qi's abnormality and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, it's just that a fly keeps following us." Zhao Qi said lightly.

"Flies? Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Yi Wuxiao looked around, but didn't find anything unusual.

Lan Lingling also turned around, glanced at Zhao Qi, and then said softly, "Do you mean the man in the brocade robe?" I noticed him too, and his gaze kept wandering over me. ”

"Oh? It turned out to be a disciple. Yi Wuxiao suddenly realized, with a hint of anger on his face, "Do you want me to teach him a lesson?" ”

Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "No need, he was just watching, and he didn't do anything excessive." Let's just be careful. ”

As they spoke, they came to a stall selling magic utensils. There are all kinds of ritual utensils on the stalls, which are dazzling and dazzling.

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling were both attracted by these magic weapons, while Zhao Qi was secretly observing the movements around them.

Lin Xuan also followed, he was standing under a big tree not far away, pretending to be enjoying the scenery, but in fact he was secretly looking at Lan Lingling with his spare eyes.

He was thinking about how he could get close to this beauty and make her feel good about him.

The trio shuttles through the bustling streets, and all kinds of rare treasures are dazzling. Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling followed closely behind Zhao Qi, curiously looking at the surrounding stalls and crowds.

"Brother Zhao, what do you think of this?" Yi Wuxiao asked, pointing to a magic weapon that emitted a faint light.

Zhao Qi glanced at it and shook his head: "The quality is average, and it is a little damaged, it is not worth the price." ”

Lan Lingling chuckled on the side: "Wuxiao, you better listen to Brother Zhao more, he is an expert in this regard." ”

The three of them continued to move forward, Zhao Qi's eyes were like torches, looking for his favorite rare materials among the many stalls. From time to time, stall owners pitched their treasures to them, but he politely refused them one by one.

On the lively and quaint streets of Phantom Town, Zhao Qi, Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling leisurely shuttled through the crowd like ordinary tourists.

On both sides of the street, all kinds of strange shops and stalls are dazzling, and the sound of selling and bargaining comes and goes, forming a unique market picture.

Zhao Qi was wearing a simple gray robe, with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes swept over the surrounding stalls from time to time, as if he was looking for something.

Yi Wuxiao was dressed in green clothes, carrying his hands behind his back, and followed behind Zhao Qi with a calm demeanor.

Lan Lingling, on the other hand, was wearing a light blue dress with a small flower on her head, which looked fresh and refined. She looked curiously at everything around her, letting out exclamations from time to time.

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "Yo, isn't this our Zhao Great Hero?" How did you get to this point, and you actually mixed up with two children. ”

Zhao Qi frowned slightly, turned around, and saw a young man in a gorgeous brocade robe standing not far away, with a mocking smile on his face. This person was none other than their competitor - Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was tall and had a handsome face, but there was a yin aura between his eyebrows. He clasped his hands on his chest and leaned against the door of a shop, staring at Zhao Qi and the others playfully.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, and said disapprenously: "Lin Xuan, aren't you the same?" It's just a person hanging out here. ”

"Hmph, I'm not like you, I need to rely on two little children to protect me."

Lin Xuan sneered, his gaze inadvertently swept over Lan Lingling and Yi Wuxiao, "Moreover, this little girl next to you is quite smart, I don't know if it's your new love?" ”

Lan Lingling's face changed slightly when he heard this, but then he returned to normal. She glared at Lin Xuan and didn't speak.

Yi Wuxiao raised her eyebrows and was about to open her mouth to refute, but was stopped by Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi said lightly: "Lin Xuan, keep your mouth clean." It's not your turn to intervene in the matter between the three of us. ”

"Haha, what? I was told that I was in my heart and angry? ”

Lin Xuan laughed, his face full of pride, "Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi, what do you think you are?" It's just a down-and-out casual practice. No one in this Shadow Town will take you seriously. ”

Zhao Qi's eyes were slightly cold, and he was about to speak, but he suddenly felt a strange aura coming from a distance.

His heart moved, and he turned his head to look, only to see three people walking slowly on the other side of the street. These three men are none other than the Serpent, Blacktail, and Rattletail.

The three of them also saw Zhao Qi and Lin Xuan, and a hideous smile suddenly appeared on their faces. They quickened their pace and walked towards this direction.

Lin Xuan also noticed the arrival of the three snakes, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a dignified look. Although he didn't know the identity and purpose of the three snakes, judging from the aura on their bodies, it was obviously not good.

"Zhao Qi, it seems that your trouble is coming." Lin Xuan sneered and stepped aside, "I'm just here to watch, how did you get cleaned up by them." ”

Zhao Qi ignored Lin Xuan's taunt, he turned to Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling and said, "Be careful, these people are not good. ”

Yi Wuxiao and Lan Lingling nodded, and the two of them stood by Zhao Qi's side one left and one right, staring at the three of them vigilantly. A storm seems inevitable.

"This son, let's take a look at my thousand-year-old piece of dark iron, an excellent material for refining magic weapons!" A strong man with a full beard greeted warmly. (End of chapter)
