On the wasteland, the wind is bitter.

Three figures walked against the wind, and their robes hunted.

"So, Brother Lin had already left the Land of Expulsion and went to the Outer Lands three months ago?" Zhao Ziming asked.

Zheng Lulu was blown so red that her little face was red, and she tightened her neckline, "Yes, we ...... I don't know where you went, Brother Lin Xi has been waiting for you for half a year, and you haven't shown up, by the way, what about Sister Xiaoyu? Why isn't she with you?"

Zhao Ziming was silent for a moment and said, "She also left, and went to a far place." ”

With that, he began to think about his next steps.

According to the information he got from Zheng Lulu, he deduced that more than eight months had passed since he blocked the attack for Ning Xiaoyu that day.

After being hit by that crystal arrow, he immediately fell unconscious, and he didn't know what happened after that, how he survived, and how his body could have changed so much.

But she's gone.

Finding her, seeing her, recovering her, and protecting her all require strength.

As soon as the source was clear, Zhao Ziming's heart was immediately transparent, and what he had to do now was to enhance his strength as soon as possible.

Hearing that Ning Xiaoyu had left, Zheng Lulu's red face flashed with a hint of joy that she hadn't noticed herself, "Then when are you leaving?"

Zhao Ziming said: "Help you collect medicine, and after you go back to cure your brother, I will join a corps, what about you?"

Zheng Lulu was about to speak, but the young man next to her spoke first, "There is still a corps here?"

Zheng Lulu stopped suddenly, turned her head, and looked at him angrily, "Hey, why don't you leave?

The boy blinked, looking confused, "Why should I go?

Zheng Lulu's eyes widened, "You're such a scoundrel, you can go wherever you like, don't follow us." ”

The young man coughed, suddenly rushed to Zhao Ziming's side, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "This brother is in the Tang Dynasty...... Xiao Qi, dare to ask your name?"

Zhao Ziming didn't know what he meant, and said lightly: "I don't dare to be a big name, my name is Zhao Ziming." ”

Tang Xiaoqi stretched his hand forward a little further, "Brother Ziming, this is a kind of etiquette that I have newly learned, called handshake ceremony, the first time we meet, please take care of it in the future." ”

Zhao Ziming saw that he looked innocent, and he didn't feel any evil intentions from him, so he smiled, followed his example, stretched out his right hand and shook it with him, "Brother Tang, please take care of him in the future." ”

Tang Xiaoqi said hesitantly: "Brother Ziming doesn't need to be polite, I am sixteen this year, ranking seventh in the family, everyone in the family calls me Xiaoqi, you also call me like this, Brother Tang, I don't feel comfortable listening to it." ”

Zheng Lulu stood in front of him expressionlessly, with her hands on her hips, "Are you leaving?"

"This ......" Tang Xiaoqi's expression froze, and then his eyes rolled, "Miss Lulu, this young man and Brother Ziming hit it off at first sight, and they want to make friends, can you manage it?"

Zheng Lulu was so angry that she wanted to say something to Zhao Ziming, but the "little Mingzi" that was usually called very smoothly couldn't say anything, and she didn't know how to call it.

She was in a hurry, stomped her foot vigorously, turned around without saying a word, and strode forward.

The girl's delicate thoughts, Zhao Ziming couldn't understand it, and along the way, he was asking about Zheng Lulu and Lin Xi after he left, but he didn't pay attention to the wrongness between her and Tang Xiaoqi.

He looked at Tang Xiaoqi with a smile, "Brother Tang, why did you offend Lulu?" ”

Tang Xiaoqi said curtly: "This is a misunderstanding, it's mine...... Unintentional faults, yes, unintentional faults. ”

After listening to his rambling explanation, and then thinking of the previous conversation with Zheng Lulu, Zhao Ziming roughly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that Zheng Lulu came here alone to pick an elixir for her younger brother, and when she was about to reach her destination, she suddenly saw Tang Xiaoqi being chased and killed by a group of demon beasts from a distance, and she hurriedly used concealment methods and hid.

But Tang Xiaoqi actually saw through her disguise, and turned around and led the demon beast over, so she could only flee with her.

After that, they were extremely unlucky to break into that valley and were wrapped in dumplings, if it weren't for Tang Xiaoqi's strong strength and Zhao Ziming's unexpected arrival, the two of them wanted to get out safely, I'm afraid it would be a little difficult.

A faint coldness appeared on Zhao Ziming's face, "Brother Tang is indeed very powerful, but Lulu is just a weak woman, you behave like that, I hope there will not be a second time." ”

Tang Xiaoqi shook his head and said as if he was confused and annoyed: "I don't know why I did that, but-" He looked straight and said solemnly: "Even if Brother Ziming doesn't show up, I won't let Miss Lulu get hurt." ”

Zhao Ziming did not doubt this, in the battle in the valley, judging from Tang Xiaoqi's strength and the situation at that time, even if he did not jump off the cliff to save him, the latter could protect Zheng Lulu's thoughtfulness.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Tang Xiaoqi had this kind of strength, thus confirming that he didn't intend to harm Zheng Lulu, Zhao Ziming wouldn't waste his tongue with him at this moment, but would have done it directly.

Zhao Ziming nodded, quickened his pace, and said: "I don't mind walking with you, you don't have the intention of harming others, as for whether you can become friends, it depends on whether you really want to make friends." ”

Tang Xiaoqi strode to follow, and said with a shy smile: "Thank you Brother Ziming for your understanding, I don't know...... Can Brother Ziming say a few kind words for me in front of Miss Lulu and eliminate her ...... for me Misunderstanding?"

Zhao Ziming glanced at him thoughtfully, "Love can't help." ”

After the three of them walked forward for a long time, Zheng Lulu took out a yellow-brown map, compared the surrounding terrain, frowned and muttered: "It should be here, why is there no waterhole nearby?"

Zhao Ziming looked at the map, and also didn't find anything wrong, the place under his feet was the end point indicated in the drawing, but he didn't see the real thing, which was quite strange.

Tang Xiaoqi also came over, but as soon as his eyes fell on the map, Zheng Lulu brushed the map away, and said coldly: "Lai Pitang, go away." ”

This was the first thing she said to him in the past half a day.

Raitsu.

Tang Xiaoqi's expression froze on his face, and the corners of his forehead jumped.

To be calm, Tang Xiaoqi warned himself like this, he raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Oh, I can't even read the map, it's really stupid." ”

Immediately, he hurriedly added, "Brother Ziming, I'm not talking about you. ”

Zheng Lulu was so angry that her face turned pale, "Lai Pitang, who do you say is stupid!"

Tang Xiaoqi looked left and right, "In addition to you, me and Brother Ziming, is there a fourth person here?"

Zheng Lulu almost had the idea of pulling out her weapon and desperately, she held back her anger, stretched out her hand on the ground, and the map was trembling slightly, "Okay, Lai Pitang, let's make a bet, how about it?"

Tang Xiaoqi perked up, "Bet, okay, what's the gambling method?"

Zheng Lulu said: "You said that I read the wrong map, now I will give you the map, if you can see another route and prove me wrong, I Zheng Lulu will write my name upside down!"

Tang Xiaoqi looked curious, "What if I lose?"

Zheng Lulu gritted her teeth and said word by word: "If you lose, you will disappear from my eyes immediately!"

Tang Xiaoqi's eyes rolled, "Change the bet, if I win, let's release the suspicions, how about it?"

Zheng Lulu did not hesitate, "Okay!"

Tang Xiaoqi took the map in her hand, glanced at it casually, and then put his hand behind his back, "Come with me." ”

Bypassing the hill in front of them, a lake with a radius of more than ten miles appeared in front of the three of them, and this lake was exactly where Zheng Lulu was looking.

Her eyes widened and she muttered, "How come? The Poison Dragon Pool on the map is in front of the mountain, not behind the mountain." ”

Tang Xiaoqi raised a palm and smiled brightly, "I won, Miss Lulu, let's release my suspicions." ”

Zheng Lulu bit her lower lip, "How did you know that Poison Dragon Pool is here?"

Zhao Ziming also looked at him with some curiosity.

Tang Xiaoqi said proudly: "It's very simple, the person who drew the map drew it wrong, this drawing looks like it was drawn by a layman, the scale is completely wrong, you have to adjust the position of a few marks to find it accurately." ”

Zheng Lulu was dumbfounded.

Tang Xiaoqi waved his raised palm, "Ice release suspicion, ice release suspicion." ”

Zheng Lulu crumpled the map into a ball and stuffed it into the Qiankun bag hatefully, before she reluctantly took two steps forward, stretched out her hand and slapped Tang Xiaoqi.

The three of them came to the lake, and as far as the eye could see, there was no green on the shore of the lake, but all sand and gravel.

Zhao Ziming asked, "Lulu, the elixir you want to pick is in the water?"

Zheng Lulu nodded and said, "Yes, according to records, the depth of the water here is more than twenty zhang, and the black water splash can only be found at a depth of less than twenty zhang. ”

After speaking, she took out the crumpled map from the Qiankun bag, flattened it and flipped it over, and drew an ordinary black flower on the back, but the flower stem was very long, like a thin rope.

Zhao Ziming squatted down and inserted his palm into the water, only to feel a strange cold penetrate his fingertips, and he was still drilling deep into the flesh like maggots attached to the bones.

He pulled out his palm, clenched his fist slightly, and under the surging blood and qi, he wiped away the chill in an instant, and he said with a slight frown: "Lulu, the water here is too cold, with your strength, it may not fall to twenty zhang, who asked you to come here to collect medicine?"

Zheng Lulu also squatted down, stretched out her right index finger, and probed into the water, her body trembled obviously, she quickly withdrew her fingers, and her fingertips flashed green for a while, before eliminating the cold air entering her body.

After trying the temperature of the lake, Zheng Lulu knew that what Zhao Ziming said was true, she was silent, and said with a reluctant smile: "I have prepared some fire attribute pills, as well as a few body protection talismans......"

The more she spoke, the quieter she became, clearly unconfident in her preparation.
