The fat man was not moved when he heard this, and continued to smile. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
"Little brother, where would I know these things, I am just an ordinary passer-by, lost my way in this woods, lost something, little brother, if you don't want to help, it's nothing, then let's go to the road you said and leave the forest." ”
What the fat man said didn't matter, but it made Gu Xuyao have an inexplicable feeling, as if there was a magic in this sentence.
The hunter's intuition told Gu Xuyao that he had no way out at the moment, and there were not many pills left, and it was definitely too late to look for clues in this unknown wood.
With a cold snort, Gu Xuyao walked to the river, and the river water under his feet reflected the sunlight shining on the water through the branches, sparkling, but people who had not fallen into the water would not know how cold the water was.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Xuyao was about to jump into the water, but there was a pain behind him, and a momentum took Gu Xuyao off the ground.
The water splashed, and Gu Xuyao didn't have to think about it to know that it must be the fat man who pushed himself behind his back again, but at this time, he didn't have time to think about it, the biting cold invaded all his senses.
The more the river goes downstream, the colder the river becomes, and this way it is pulled into the water by the fat man, Gu Xuyao already knows this.
However, he had also fought wild beasts in the Red Mud River in winter, and Gu Xuyao knew that in a situation like this, only constant activity could keep the blood in his body flowing and remain immortal.
"Ha......" Gu Xuyao swam to the water, took a deep breath, and vaguely felt that the fat man was smiling and looking at himself on the shore, and the more resentful he was in his heart for this fat man who tortured himself all the way.
Fortunately, the river is not turbulent, the bank is not far from the waterfall, and Gu Xuyao has a good water quality, so he will soon be close to the edge of the waterfall.
But the more he swam towards the waterfall, the greater the resistance Gu Xuyao received, and the water that hit down the waterfall at an unknown height was an extraordinary obstacle to Gu Xuyao, with this layer of strength, Gu Xuyao gradually felt that his strength was not enough.
The heartbeat was getting slower and slower, the icy river water was slowly eroding Gu Xuyao's body, his limbs had long been unconscious, and as soon as the swimming force decreased, the momentum of the waterfall would push Gu Xuyao to the shore.
"No, if you give up here, you will give up all your efforts......" Perseverance is not a difficult thing for Gu Xuyao, and the habits he has developed since childhood have made him an iron-clad man.
Swimming forward slowly, this degree is basically the same as crawling, but Gu Xuyao just doesn't want to give up, his face is already blue and white, his lips are purple, except for the determined look in his eyes, Gu Xuyao is no different from a dying person.
This state lasted for about half an hour, and the place where the waterfall fell was already close at hand, and the water splashed to form a mist, and Gu Xuyao's vision was almost zero.
"Ahh
"Boom!" The sound of the waterfall roared, which made Gu Xuyao feel a burst of tinnitus in an instant, and the impact of the waterfall almost knocked Gu Xuyao unconscious.
However, Gu Xuyao is not an inexperienced silly boy, diving in an instant, roaring, impact, and resistance disappear in an instant, and the burden is removed, Gu Xuyao feels like a cage bird that has escaped from trouble, and he is extremely free.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, Gu Xuyao quickly swam forward, there was a stone wall in front of him, Gu Xuyao knew that climbing up was the small cave where the fat man's lost thing was.
Getting rid of the momentum brought by the waterfall, this section of the distance was relatively easy, and after a while, Gu Xuyao swam to the edge of the rock wall, surfaced, and the place three zhang high above was the small cave.
Rock climbing is not familiar to Gu Xuyao, there are forests and rivers in the red mud area, but there are no mountains, but this is not difficult for an excellent hunter.
Looking for a place to settle on the rock wall, he climbed steadily, and after leaving the river, his body temperature gradually recovered, and he felt that everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.
It didn't take long for Gu Xuyao to arrive in the small cave, dry, warm, and compared with the damp and icy river, this place was simply a paradise.
And the lost thing that the fat man said lay quietly at Gu Xuyao's feet, seemingly completing the task, but when Gu Xuyao saw what it was, he was so angry that he trembled.
The thing that the fat man was looking for was actually a woman's belly pocket, bright red, embroidered with a dragon and phoenix with cheesy gold thread, and at a glance it was a thing that was only used in the mortal world.
Gu Xuyao stiffly picked up the belly pocket from the ground, soaking wet, it looked like it had indeed been soaked in the river, but Gu Xuyao still felt that he was being played with.
However, the point is not these, the belly pocket does not need to be close, you can smell a foul smell, and I don't know how long this fat man has kept it, even if it is this river water, it can't wash the smell on the belly pocket.
Fold up his belly pocket and tuck it into his belt, Gu Xuyao turned his head to face the waterfall and took a deep breath.
There was no longer that smell lingering in his nasal cavity, and Gu Xuyao's mood calmed down a little, but no matter what, the evil breath in his heart could not be dissolved.
I walked hard all the way with him on my back, I don't know how many times I fell into the water, and finally risked my life to come to the waterfall, and the so-called valuable thing I picked up was actually a woman's old belly pocket!
Thinking of this, Gu Xuyao jumped into the water, swam through the waterfall with ease, and when he surfaced again, he could already see the fat man's smiling fat face.
"Little brother, have you got the things? I'm waiting for you here, come on, come on." The fat man beckoned from the shore and was excited.
However, the more the fat man was like this, the more the anger in Gu Xuyao's heart could not be calmed, and even because of this resentment, even the impact of this cold river water on him was reduced a lot.
Sleeping on the thrust of the waterfall, Gu Xuyao quickly swam up from the river, and the moment he broke away from the river again, Gu Xuyao had a feeling that he was about to explode, especially when he heard the fat man's cheerful voice.
"Little brother, thank you for your hard work, I know by looking at your appearance that you have helped me get things back, where are the things?
While talking, the fat man was still rubbing his hands, just like a ruffian who met a beautiful woman in the market, and he was obscene.
However, in the end, Gu Xuyao still suppressed the anger that was about to explode, slowly took out his belly pocket from his waist, and fell to the ground.
"That's what you want me to help you find?"
The fat man didn't seem to hear Gu Xuyao's inappropriateness at all, and bent down to pick up his belly pocket, with a strange light in his eyes.
"Yes, don't you think it's good-looking, let's sue you secretly, don't you sue others, this is the belly pocket worn by the woman I have had a crush on for a long time, and I dragged many snitches to steal it, hehehehe......"
Gu Xuyao was silent when he heard this, but silently clenched his fists, and let the fat man keep rubbing his belly pocket with his face on the ground, until the water on the belly pocket was almost dry, he stopped this action.
"Hehe, little brother, okay, my matter is settled, now you carry me to the path you found, let's get out of here together." ”
Without moving, ignoring the fat man's expectation, Gu Xuyao squinted his eyes and stared at the fat man's disgusting smile.
"You say, you want me to carry you back on the road again?"
The fat man nodded with a smile, walked up to Gu Xuyao, and patted Gu Xuyao's shoulder heavily.
"I know it's very troublesome for you, little brother, but aren't we going out, I'll ask you as soon as I get it, you got my thanks!"
It was these words that completely ignited Gu Xuyao's anger, what to find the roots, what cultivation was completely left behind, Gu Xuyao's already clenched fist hit the fat man's face hard!
The force was too great, and the fat man's facial features were immediately distorted, and most of his teeth were knocked out, so that he could no longer hear what he said.
However, Gu Xuyao didn't plan to listen to him continue to talk nonsense, and his hands kept coming, punching him again, and hitting him directly in the face, this time knocking out all the teeth under the fat man's body.
"Now, you go down and continue to look for your belly pocket!" Immediately after, Gu Xuyao kicked the fat man in the stomach, and his round body was kicked into the river like a leather ball.
"Plop ......" Compared with the splash of Gu Xuyao falling into the water, the splash caused by the fat man falling into the water is much larger, looking at the falling splash, the anger in Gu Xuyao's heart finally subsided.
After taking a long breath and regaining his senses, Gu Xuyao immediately felt bad, and recklessly kicked the fat man into the water, so how could his immortal root be condensed?
And just when he thought of this, the ground suddenly shook, this shaking almost made Gu Xuyao unable to stand firmly, and the cold water in the river also seemed to come to life, forming a big wave, drowning Gu Xuyao in it with lightning speed!
Gu Xuyao's world was a mess, but the preparation room was still as quiet as ever, except for the old man's snoring.
"Huh?" the old man woke up, and his thoughts told him that something was going on. "This kid, has he actually started to condense the immortal root?" After the old man finished speaking, his figure flashed and entered Gu Xuyao's room.
At this time, Gu Xuyao's whole body was radiated with the light of Yuan Force, his body was floating in the air, and an extremely strong Yuan Force gathered above his eyebrows.
"Will, bones, soul!" the old man exclaimed, and the Yuan Force gathered to blow a strong wind, blowing away the old man's messy head. "This kid has really done it!" the old man looked surprised, it was a dry face, and there was a lot more kindness in it than before.
"Oops. The old man was busy surprised, forgetting that this was Gu Xuyao's critical moment, only to see him step in front of Gu Xuyao, with words in his mouth, and several yuan forces hit Gu Xuyao's body.
With the old man's movements, the Yuan Force shot out of Gu Xuyao's body became more violent, and the gathered Yuan Force was also quickly condensed and formed.
The old man let out a low shout, and a force of yuan force hit the immortal root, and the immortal root was forced, quickly becoming smaller, and finally turned into only the size of a fingernail, and continued to absorb power from Gu Xuyao's body in the air, until it was as light as transparent before it melted into Gu Xuyao's eyebrows!
The immortal root entered the body, and the bright light scattered on Gu Xuyao's body also reached its peak, he was like a small sun at this time, dazzling, and even the dust that had been deposited in the preparation room for an unknown amount of time was steamed!
However, this light did not last long, after the immortal root completely entered the center of the eyebrows, this light converged into Gu Xuyao's body, and he no longer floated, and fell heavily to the ground.
Yuan Li dispersed, the old man squatted down, and once again confirmed that Gu Xuyao was safe, and his wind-blown head was also scattered, blocking the dirty old face again.
"Good boy......" the old man muttered to himself, unable to see his expression because of his head, but even then he couldn't hide the complicated look that shot out of his eyes!
