When the two white-clothed figures disappeared far away into the mountain path, in the beech forest outside the Xiangshui Holy Land, Qingguo walked out, followed by a serious-looking Ao Wu and a tall scuba mastiff Leo.

"Can you start?" asked AuU, frowning at his eyebrows, "It's really a fool's errand, I don't know how Gila came up with such a idea, you must be tired, right?"

Qingguo smiled softly and shook her head and said, "The strength is left to the two of you, how can I be tired?"

Ou Wu grinned, carried a boulder of two or three tons on his shoulder, and placed it in the designated place at the edge of the forest according to Qingguo's instructions, while inquiring about what new vocabulary little Jira had recently learned, and looked relaxed and pleasant, without the slightest feeling of fatigue, while Leo, who was in charge of repairing the road, was so happy that he wheeled his webbed hooves and made dust fly all around.

It didn't take long for the scenery on the edge of the forest to change slightly, and although the change was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, it should have been there, because the two men and the dog had apparently appeared in the south, but later, they had disappeared in the north.

Inside the camp, everything reverted to its original tense and orderly busyness, as if no one had been there at all, and as if there had been no important alliance at all, calm as usual.

Qi Lang was waiting in the conference room, the high-level personnel who appeared in front of him first, there was no surprise, of course, it was Joanna, who had endured a day and a night, and as soon as she entered the room, she said to Qi Lang sourly: "What a good time that hour was enjoyable, you really came up with such an excuse." Now you must be very satisfied, as you can tell from the look on your face. ”

Qi Lang neither raised his eyes nor answered, just sat in his chair and pondered. As a result, Joanna's brows furrowed more and more: "Hey, wake up, okay? Your soul won't be lost, or did she leave a phantom here?" Just as she walked quickly in front of Qi Lang, Qi Lang suddenly jumped up, rushed to the door of the conference room, and shouted outside: "Jila, come over quickly, there are some things I need to confirm with you!" Gurff, inform Sergeant Dong Hong, ask him to invite Aunt Dong to come anyway, hurry!"

Gila stomped in, and Gulf's answer was in the distance. At this time, Qi Lang seemed to notice that there was already a high-ranking person in the room, raised his eyebrows and said to Joanna, "You seem to have just said something to me?"

Joanna sat down on her stool in discouragement, and said in a complaining tone, "Does anyone here hear me speak?" I don't see any, I'm not even transparent, I don't exist. ”

"You're really good!" Qi Lang laughed weirdly and gave her a thumbs up: "I underestimate you, Qiaoqiao, you are much better than I thought!

After saying this, Qi Lang turned his head to Jira, and asked quickly, "You brought it?" I need a shortcut, even if there is some danger, it doesn't matter, I must grab it for three more days, three full days." ”

The clever Jira was obviously ready, and without saying a word, he took out a map from his cuff and pressed it on the table: "That seems to be quite troublesome, do you have to grab it for another three days? That will definitely exhaust your war horses." Let's take a look, maybe it would be better to go directly to the northern foot of the Zhongyang Mountains, but I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it for that long...... Jojo, may I trouble you to call Ruth?"

Joanna was already confused by the busyness of the two people in front of her, and even turned a deaf ear to Jira's request, and just shouted angrily with her hands on her hips: "What are you doing! Can you take a minute to explain to this fool in front of you?!"

The tigress is in full swing, and now things are not good. Jira hurriedly stopped, squinted at Qi Lang, and waited for Mr. Commander to quickly break the siege, while he stood there and didn't dare to move.

"It's my fault, Jojo. Qi Lang slapped his forehead sharply and said to Joanna apologetically, "But it's not clear in a sentence or two, and we don't have that much time at the moment, when we leave, Jira will explain it to you slowly." You just need to remember now that Princess Mirong is in danger, the Mingyu Kingdom is in dire need of our help now, and our opponent is transparent, as you said, a transparent opponent!"

Before Joanna could show a surprised expression, Sergeant Dong Hong had already appeared at the door of the conference room with Aunt Dong on her back. He even ran a little out of breath, and it is estimated that as soon as he got the news, he even omitted the steps to ask for instructions, and directly snatched the old lady out.

But it seems that Aunt Dong didn't think it was a faux pas, she just stood up unhurriedly, nodded slightly to Qi Lang and said, "What can I help you, my king?"

"It's been hard for you and Qingguo these days, auntie. Qi Lang simply politely said and went straight to the point, "We are the most knowledgeable of you here, so no one can answer this question except you." I would like to ask you, in your memory, have you ever heard of a master cultivator who had a beast pet?"

"Yes. Aunt Dong gave an affirmative answer without thinking about it, "That's you, my king." ”

"What about other than me?" Qi Lang was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet.

This time, Aunt Dong fell into a long thought. And taking advantage of this free time, Qi Lang remembered the previous arrangement again, and waved his hand to Gulf again: "Lu Si, call Lu Si!"

Gulf shouted in obedience and rushed out again. At this moment, Aunt Dong seemed to have received a revelation from God, and suddenly raised her head to Qi Lang and said, "I have indeed heard of such rumors, but I have not seen them with my own eyes, and I have no way to investigate the authenticity of the rumors." ”

Qi Lang's eyes lit up: "Let's hear it, even if it is a rumor, it may be extremely valuable." ”

Aunt Dong snorted and said slowly: " There is such a special race, they have both the blood of cultivators and the blood of warriors in their blood, when they intend to become a warrior, they can choose the path that suits them best, and at the same time, there is about a 1 in 10,000 possibility that their divine consciousness has reserved the fateful partner of the beast pet or the sword soul, and if this warrior is actually destined to have the agreement of the beast pet, and he chooses the training path of the cultivator, then this extremely rare situation will appear. ”

Qi Lang understood that the special ethnic group that Aunt Dong was referring to was Lu Si's ethnic group, and it was also the ethnic group of Little Jila-mixed-race!

But this statement didn't seem to solve the doubts in Qi Lang's heart, so he continued to ask Aunt Dong: "Then do you know about the Dongyi tribe, will there be such a special warrior in their tribe?"

Aunt Dong pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "There is such a possibility, but the aunt is also hearsay." It is said that the Dongyi tribe was originally a branch of the Middle-earth Empire close to the Western Regions, and was forced to migrate to the northeast snowfield of the mainland due to civil strife, and then became independent. ”

"But the Kimchi Prince is an exception. At this time, Ruth happened to follow Gulf and rushed over, and as soon as he entered the door, he interjected with a grin, "Auntie, I am from a mixed race, and I must be more sensitive than you in this regard." His eyes and movements can reveal some clues, but in addition to this, I also found an important suspicion in him. ”

"What's suspicious?" Qi Lang and Jira asked.

"This action. Ruth stretched out his index finger and touched the bridge of his nose, "He may not realize it himself, but this is a small gesture that he often does, but it is this small gesture that betrays his identity." ”

This conclusion is obviously too jumpy, and even Jira, who has a very fast brain, scratches her head: "What does this little action mean?"

Lu Si showed a gloomy look, but he still smiled reluctantly: "You should ask Miss Qingguo this question, she must know very well, even if no one here will mind the identity of Little Jira, her mother will still use this way from time to time to restrain his nose from growing high, because of the most obvious feature." Compared to the color of our hair and pupils, our nose is the most revealing feature. ”

From this point of view, Ruth's nose is indeed very high, but the straight and straight nose bridge is also reasonable among Orientals, needless to say, his mother must have done the same when he was younger.

Now, the whole situation seems to have changed again, and this variable is probably really unexpected by Qi Lang and Jila. They glanced at each other, and for a moment fell into a state of deep thought.

Everyone looked at each other, making the scene a little dull and depressing. In the end, it was Ruth who carefully broke the silence: "Mr. Commander, I heard Sergeant Gulf say that you probably need to find a shortcut out of the mountain. That's where I can help. I know every road here. Are you going to the west?"

Qi Lang smiled and nodded: "I found you very clever, Ruth, in a way, your intelligence is not even inferior to Jira." ”

Ruth held his hand in front of his chest and bowed: "Thank you, commander, for the compliment." So, shall we hit the road right away?"
