Chapter Ninety-Seven: First Arrival at the Border

As everyone had expected, the Rat King did not come to lead the way himself, but sent a team of hensleys with cronies to help.

When the gerbils came to report, Li Wanxiao had just woken up, and Dugu Che was guarded all night, she slept comfortably, and when she woke up, she found a pot of clean water and two warm dry food beside her, but she didn't see Dugu Che's figure.

Fold the blanket and put it in the package, drank water while eating dry food, and saw Han Qingbo who was busy packing up things, and said strangely: "Brother Han, where are they gone? Why isn't my brother here?"

"They went to find the way. Han Qingbo patted the sand on his hand and said with a smile, "These people are more powerful than the other, and they still need your brother to take action after tossing for a long time, which is really cautious." ”

"My brother also went with him?" Li Wanxiao's eyes widened, there were gerbils to open the way, so many of them couldn't even handle it, and Dugu Che has never liked to meddle in these small things, why is he so active this time?

"Yes, Li Che is very concerned about this matter, I don't know if it's because he is about to reach the junction of humans and demons, he is a little anxious. Han Qingbo also felt a little inexplicable, Dugu Che was arrogant, and he was hardly interested in anything except for the matter of leaving Wanxiao, this time it was he who took the initiative to help, which was really a little unbelievable.

These words made Li Wanxiao smile bitterly, "No matter how anxious he is, can he be as anxious as I am?" Hey, don't say it, where are they, I'll also go and join in the fun." ”

"Over there. Raising his hand and pointing to the southwest, Han Qingbo said casually, "They went over there, but Jun Wuxian repeatedly told me to protect you before leaving, and I must not let you go alone, after all, this Gobi is unpredictable, and it is easy for you to get lost when you walk alone." ”

"Oh, okay. It was rare that Li Wanxiao didn't insist on her own opinion and insisted on finding someone, she simply responded and sat honestly on the side eating dry food and watched Han Qingbo continue to pack his luggage one by one, and Han Qingbo's words just now faintly appeared in her mind.

Soon she arrived at the junction of man and demon, and that place was the destination she had been thinking about for most of the year, but now that the end was in sight, she felt extremely panicked.

What if I can't find the yin and yang flowers?

What if Master's prescription goes wrong?

What if there is a demon army patrolling the junction of humans and demons as they say?

Too many worries became clearer and clearer as the distance narrowed, especially after listening to Han Qingbo's words, the uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.

They didn't wait too long, Dugu Che and his party turned back from a distance, and from a distance, there were two earthy yellow gerbils walking in front of them, but these two little things didn't seem to be crazy when they attacked them that night, but opened the way in front of them in a regular manner, at least they looked very reliable.

"Why did you wake up, the sun is all on your ass!" As soon as Xiao Mengzi saw Liwan smile and woke up, she immediately jumped over and said with a smile, "Guess what we found?"

"What?" Li Wanxiao propped her chin on one hand, lacking interest.

"Why aren't you so interested?" Yumeko sat down beside her and began to chatter, "Don't be like this, it's understandable that girls have a lot of worries, but so many of us are not decorations, right? ”

Looking at the stinky boy who was smiling in front of him and showing a row of little white teeth, Li Wanxiao just wanted to slap the dry food in his hand on his face, little brat!

Flew a roll of his eyes, ignored him, and instead saw Dugu Che walking slowly, Li Wanxiao quickly got up to greet him, "How is it?

"Don't worry, these gerbils aren't leading the way, we can go now. Seeing the slight uneasiness hidden on her face, Dugu Che stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair around her ear, and said softly, "What's wrong, unhappy?"

"No, I just felt a little uneasy, as if something was going to happen. The inexplicable worry in my heart couldn't be explained at all, so I could only say something ambiguously.

Jun Wuxian suddenly walked up from behind and said earnestly: "You are a bit like a feeling of homesickness." It's not your hometown, but it's a place you've been trying to go to for so long, and now you're about to get there, so you're a little panicked, right?"

"Don't be afraid, we will accompany you to the end!"

Looking up at his handsome face with a bright smile, Li Wanxiao actually knew all along that Jun Wuxian was a person who could still talk and laugh with you before the collapse of Mount Tai, and his words seemed to give her a reassurance. Yes, everyone is here, they have gone through so many difficulties together, and even the miasma forest has broken through, what else is there to worry about?

"Thank you. ”

"You've said this countless times, don't say it again in the future, you know, silly girl?" happily handed her a bag of sea buckthorn fruit in his hand, which was found by two gerbils when they took them to explore the road just now, although their dry food was enough to eat, but the ripe sea buckthorn fruit on the Gobi still tasted very good, and it was good to pick some back as a small snack to try it, so Jun Wuxian sent Mengzi to pick the fruit a few steps behind.

After taking the sea buckthorn fruit, Li Wanxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she ate several in succession, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth, and she was happy to eat it for a while.

The half-demon Mei who has always been quietly watching the changes stood aside and couldn't help snickering, this Jun Wuxian is a playboy at first glance, this method of coaxing a little girl is old-fashioned but very effective, it is estimated that there are few girls in this world who can refuse the temptation of delicious food, and Liwanxiao is no exception. In comparison, Dugu Che's performance is not satisfactory, taking care of girls is not careful and thoughtful, but I don't know that occasionally giving a little surprise can make her happier.

It seems that the life of the lord has been very bleak over the years, so that he finally has a girl he likes but he doesn't know how to please others, and the means of flirting with the girl are really too weak!

"Brother Han has packed up everything, are we going to leave now?" Li Wanxiao asked vaguely as she stuffed a sea buckthorn fruit into her mouth.

"Of course, the sooner you go, the better. Jun Wuxian said, "I don't know when the sandstorm will come, in order to avoid trouble, it is better to leave early." ”

This is not unreasonable, and then everyone put their luggage in their hands, beckoned Han Qingbo to follow, and then followed the gerbil non-stop.

It was obviously much easier to get on the road again than before, Jun Wuxian and Mengzi quarreled from time to time to make everyone laugh, and even Li Wanxiao couldn't help but hold his forehead, and his face was quite helpless.

"Tired?"

"Well, sort of. ”

"Do you want me to carry you?" Dugu Che couldn't make out what he meant.

Li Wanxiao hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't, there are so many people here, everyone is walking, only I let you carry it, what kind of body is it?" I'm fine, don't worry." ”

Indeed, the path on which the gerbils led them was very smooth, not at all like when they came when they came to a rock, and when they came into a ravine, they avoided all obstacles, and the route chosen by the gerbils was completely avoidable of all obstacles, and it was the nearest shortcut. I have to say, it's really cool to have something familiar with the terrain to lead the way!

In just half a day, they walked a long distance, according to Jun Wuxian's calculations, according to the plan of the gerbils, it would take them less than three days to see the edge of the junction between man and demon, and then they could walk for a while to reach the gate of the city where the demon army was stationed.

"Anyway, I'll tell you the route clearly, and when we get to the Demon Realm garrison at the border, we will return to our hometown. Jun Wuxian said with a smile.

Han Qingbo, who had not had much sense of existence since coming out of Hezhen, said faintly on the side: "The general of the Demon Realm garrison is named Mu Qianluo, and he is a guy with a strange temper, if you let him know that we are looking for Yin Yang flowers on the border, I don't know if he will allow it." ”

"He won't let it go. Yin Xiaoran took over and continued, "Our two families are world friends, that kid and I are small, if he can really call the shots, then it will not be a problem at all." ”

Due to the family relationship, Yin Xiaoran and Mu Qianluo have been playing together since they were children, and there was no Moyang at that time, and they were like brothers between them. It's just that later the war broke out, Mu Qianluo followed his father to the battlefield and joined the army, but he still stayed at home to practice, and the two broke off contact. Time has passed, and it has been many years since he parted, he never thought that the two would meet again because of the matter of leaving Wanxiao, and he did not dare to imagine what his good brother had become now, whether he was a general who commanded a thousand armies, or a resourceful general.

Their feet were very fast, and they never stopped, and under the guidance of two gerbils, they walked for three days and nights in a row, and finally although they were more than a day later than expected, they still saw the patrol garrison defending the city very smoothly.

In such a crazy hurry, she couldn't bear to be away from Wanxiao, and she was carried on her back by Dugu Che before she went far, and she was not allowed to go any further, and Han Qingbo, who was also a mortal, also had a dishful face, and walked slowly behind everyone bitterly, and the whole person was extremely tired.

When he could see the garrison from a distance, Mengzi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and there was a kind of admiration: "There is a specialization in the art industry, these guys are weak, but their life skills in the Gobi are really powerful, if we let us go by ourselves on this road, don't think about it for two or three months! Really, if you don't accept it, you can't do it." ”

I always thought that Mengzi was a silly boy with a big grin, but I didn't expect that there was such a crepe side, "there is a specialization in the art industry" is good, like a little disciple who went to school.

The patrol team of the garrison was already close at hand, Yin Xiaoran waved his hand to let the two gerbils go back to their lives, and the group did not rush forward, but scattered the sentry posts hiding in the distance to observe the patrols.

"Jun Wuxian, we are also figures with heads and faces in the demon world, why do we have to sneak around?" Mengzi scratched the back of his head, puzzled.

"You have a head and a face, and people may not know you, if these garrisons can really easily put in strange people, our demon world will already be self-defeating, understand?"

The demon army has always been highly disciplined, especially the garrison, and it is difficult for them to get in like this if they want to go in for several days.
