Chapter 602: A Group of People on the Bleak Prairie
"If nothing else, we'll be discovered. ”
The night is about to fall again, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle have just finished the last part of the road, and they are out of breath because they have been running fast. But listening to Xia Xiao's words in his ears, Ah Candle hurriedly pulled it aside, secretly glanced at the six members of the Adventurer Guild, and asked:
"Discovered by them?"
"No, by the Optimus Sect and the Academy. ”
Because the adventurer's union has set the rules in this wasteland, the team will never rush at night, and has begun to look for a suitable place to rest nearby, but Xia Xiao's words are very inappropriate, which makes Ah Candle a little worried. It's been a week together, why did this kind of thing suddenly happen? Xia Xiao put his arms around Ah Candle's neck and quipped in a joking tone:
"Don't worry, it's all sooner or later. ”
"Shall we follow them, then?"
"If you don't follow, you will be found earlier, I just remind you, don't think that everything will be fine if you follow them, you have to be ready to escape. ”
Ah Candle instantly turned into a bitter gourd face, even if there was a veil blocking it, the frowning brows made Xia Xiao feel funny. As soon as she heard Xia Xiao comfort herself, she became irritable instead, clenching her fists and beating her violently.
"Why didn't you say it earlier and tell me now?"
"If you tell you earlier, you will worry early, and if you are not in a hurry, it is good to know. ”
"I'm!"
Ah Candle thought that he could reach the south of the South China Sea safely, as for Tanghua Temple, as long as they sneaked over, it would be fine, but they didn't expect that they might be discovered, it was really angry, why did those guys still linger? When he covered his face and sighed, a young adventurer not far away ran over.
This guy's name is Lin Xiu, in Xia Xiao's words, he lacks roots and tendons, and he doesn't let Ah Candle talk nonsense with him, for fear of becoming as stupid as him. Knowing that Li Ming doesn't like him and Ah Candle to get closer, isn't it stupid? He wants to walk with Li Ming in the end, and it's not himself.
"Find a suitable place to rest, let's go!"
Xia Xiao nodded slightly, and Lin Xiu complained about Li Ming as always.
"Absolutely! The captain took the lead and ran so fast that he was half tired to death every time, and he didn't think about my kind of cultivation waste. Yuanbei, are you tired?"
Ah Candle shook her head, half of her body hid behind Xia Xiao, she also felt that this guy was stupid, and he was extremely stupid, how could he turn his elbow out?
After listening to his complaints for a long time, Xia Xiao replied:
"You can keep up and not fall behind, it's because he thinks about you, as for rushing so fast, it's because you want to get to Tanghua Temple early, and you don't want to stay in this wasteland, right?"
In fact, there is another reason, that is, Li Ming has scruples about Fang Huan, so he rushed to Tanghua Temple like this. Xia Xiao naturally understood, but seeing Li Ming staring at Lin Xiu, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Such an ignorant baby is really worrying and annoying. But Li Ming is also used to it, and a guy who has no emotional intelligence can't teach him no matter how he teaches.
After boiling the soup in the pot brought by Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, the eight of them began to rest as they had done the previous night. In the past few days, the injuries on Li Ming's six people have healed, but they are still far from Tanghua Temple. But the only thing that makes Li Ming happy is that this so-called Fang Huan, like the high monk of Tanghua Temple, can keep the unknown things in the wasteland away.
The claws never stretched out in the dark, and they were never injured again, the memory of that night was like a nightmare, but the scar on Li Ming's face made him often face everything with a cold face, thinking about the same question. But with Xia Xiao here, the night of the team was much better, no longer so frightened, just waiting, Li Ming waited to go to Tanghua Temple to verify Fang Huan's true body, and Xia Xiao waited for the people from Qingtian Sect to appear.
Xia Xiao's trip was a bit dangerous, if the people of the Qingtian Sect gathered and set up a net array, he probably wouldn't be able to escape. But until they are identified, they will certainly not gather for the most part. All the gossip in the past has become Xia Xiao's shield for self-protection, so that he will not face the worst, after all, no one will listen to the story of the wolf three times, let alone the third hundred.
Maybe Qingtian Sect wouldn't have thought that he would come here, at least Xia Xiao couldn't think of it, but although this wasteland is vast, there are too few creatures on it, but whenever you see someone, it's good to go down and confirm your identity, not to mention that the breath of himself and Ah Candle is still hidden. But no matter what kind of iron wall he has, Xia Xiao will definitely smash it and break his own way!
Rest at sunset and rush at sunrise. Under the dark brown sky, there is always such a row of people, writing a vertical "one" on the huge dry yellow paper. They ran very fast, leveling the very tall weeds, but when they turned back, the weeds in the distance stood up again.
The strange things at first became commonplace, and as time passed, Xia Xiao finally revealed a clue in Li Ming's eyes.
At first, Fang Huan and Yuan Bei were always extremely quiet, either eating or meditating, and sometimes sitting cross-legged at night, absorbing the extremely meager vitality between heaven and earth. But these days, they are always looking around, or looking up at the sky, as if something is coming. On this day, the five of them were preparing to cook, and Xia Xiao and Ah Candle were back to back, looking in all directions, and staring for a long time.
Li Ming secretly observed, feeling more and more strange, what were they looking at? He also raised his head and looked in the direction of the two of them's gaze, but there was nothing but brown clouds, which was strange and oppressive, and he couldn't even breathe. Li Mingchang took a breath and exhaled it, as if he felt that his reaction was all psychological. But he wanted to ask, anyway, there has never been politeness between them.
It's still broth, whether it's Xia Xiao Ah Candle or their team, they all brought a lot of dried meat, plus there are water cultivators here, so it's very comfortable to cook broth. It's just that drinking too much of this kind of thing doesn't taste much, but after a day of travel, a sip of hot soup is better than nothing.
Li Ming, as the captain, thinks more than the team members, and is also more tired than them, and when he saw Lin Xiu bring the first bowl of broth, he was a little relieved. This stinky boy finally knows how to do things. When Li Ming raised his hands and was about to take them, Lin Xiu passed by him with a smile, walked towards Ah Candle, and said in a gentle tone:
"Yuanyuan, taste the soup I boiled. ”
"I said it a long time ago, don't call me that!"
"It's okay, come on!"
Facing the bowl that Lin Xiu insisted on handing over repeatedly, Ah Candle didn't stretch out his hand for a long time, but just looked at Xia Xiao secretly. Seeing this kind of scene, he should be jealous, through the veil, Ah Candle couldn't see Xia Xiao's expression, but the latter's frowning eyebrows had made her secretly happy in her heart.
This guy's veil has been worn for a long time, and at this time he looks like a thief wrapped in a mask, without the looming beauty that Ah Candle wears, and he still strangled his nose, but fortunately pulled it down, held it in his hand, and snatched the bowl of soup away.
"Thank you. ”
When Xia Xiao smiled, he pulled Ah Candle and walked towards Li Ming, he had been looking at himself for a long time, and he should have something to ask. But when the time comes, there is no point in hiding it.
"That's a ...... for Yuanyuan"
Lin Xiu sighed again and again, but he couldn't stop it, it was difficult to settle down when he was a brother, but there were still a few days before he arrived at Tanghua Temple, and he also had the opportunity to persuade Yuanyuan not to go there. At a young age, I don't do anything well, I have to be a nun, this is a lifelong regret!
While thinking about such things, Lin Xiu felt that Yuanyuan must look good when he took off his veil, and just those clear and beautiful eyes made him sink. But what happened made his heart sink suddenly, and he was even afraid. When he walked towards the captain, Lin Xiu always felt that Fang Huan had seen it somewhere, and that face was familiar.
"What are you looking at?"
Without waiting for Li Ming to react, he had already asked, but when he saw Xia Xiao's face, he quickly pulled out his knife and startled the team members around him.
"Captain?"
The captain is naturally worthy of respect, but his temper is not good, and at this time he drew a knife against his benefactor, which made the team members a little overwhelmed, but they were all stopped. The reputation of the people in the adventurer's union is already bad, and if it is still like this, won't it be a favor and revenge, and become a white-eyed wolf? If it spreads, I am afraid that it will be blamed. But Li Ming stared at Xia Xiao, opened his mouth coldly, and said:
"This guy is Xia Xiao!"
The eyes of the five people instantly focused on Xia Xiao's face, and Lin Xiu finally understood why this face looked familiar, because the notices in the sky were full of his portraits. In that case, the people around him are not Yuan Sadness at all, but the legendary abducted Ah Candle?
When Lin Xiu was puzzled, Xia Xiao took off his hat and grinned.
"I'm tired of hiding from you, but now I'm finally relaxed. ”
Ah Candle also took off the veil and hat, and shook his sweaty hair, although it was a stunning appearance in Lin Xiu's eyes, it was not as attractive as before.
Xia Xiao is currently the biggest demon in the world, and Ah Candle beside him may not be a clean thing. Fortunately, Lin Xiu said this in his heart, otherwise he would have been taught a hard lesson by Xia Xiao.
"I knew you had a problem!"
The knife did not move, and Li Ming gradually reversed his pace and stood in front of the five people. They also drew their weapons, as if they were about to start a fierce battle, but with their strength, they could not do anything. Xia Xiao already knew about this, and put on a faint smile, watching them compete like this, he couldn't help but feel bored.
"Don't you have a clear understanding of yourself? You can't fight me at all, why do you have to put on such a show? There is no one else here, if I wanted to do it, you would have become a dry corpse a long time ago, and you don't have to take a stand. ”
"Aren't you a demon? Why are you still like this?"
"What if you become a demon, your little life is not saved by me? If you hate me, you can kill yourself, anyway, your life is no longer your own. ”
Xia Xiao's smile was full of ruffianism, Li Ming knew that he couldn't fight, but he didn't put away the knife, and he didn't have the slightest idea of killing himself. In his eyes, most of the people who commit suicide are cowards. And Xia Xiao's affairs, he knows a little about it, although he doesn't know much about it, but now who dares to say that he hasn't heard of him?
It was under that understanding that Li Ming asked a series of questions, making Xia Xiao like to meet his dark self. But he has not yet completely walked into the darkness, and some things will not be answered so easily. Even if there is an answer, he will not tell people like Li Ming who are incapable of self-preservation, and those who know what is going on in the dark will either become demons or die.
"Why did you go to Tanghua Temple, why did you save us, what do you want to do?"
