"Stop making trouble, it's nothing fun." The yawning Agou acted as a peacemaker and said: "Also, Guan Heng, if you really think someone is following you, send a snake bird or a six-legged ghost out to check. Isn’t it done right away?”
"We have already sent them out. That careless guy like Snake Bird didn't find anything." Guan Heng scratched his head and said, "The six ghosts have also returned, and they all found nothing. It's strange."
"Da da da -" At this moment, Ruotao rode back from the front on Rong Xuan's corpse horse. She raised her voice and said: "Everyone, there may be no villages or villages for dozens of miles ahead. It seems that we can't leave before tonight." If we leave this area, we can only stay in the woods for the night.”
"It doesn't matter." Everyone said in unison: "We are all used to it anyway."
…
"Huh-pah!" A big black hand covered with mud suddenly grabbed the neck of the wild monkey in front of him, and immediately threw the little beast up to his side and smashed his head into pieces. The guy ignored the beast's hot and fishy blood and gurgled. He got up, then tore up the animal meat with big mouthfuls and swallowed it raw to satisfy his hunger.
This person has unkempt hair and ragged clothes, but his original clothing materials were of high quality and seemed to be of great value. He should have been born rich or noble, but now he is in a very poor state.
While gnawing on the animal meat, he staggered forward and kept muttering: "You brat, I, I, Deng Lai, will definitely seek revenge on you."
"Boom - crack -" Unexpectedly, Guan Heng and others, who had already made up their minds to sleep in the woods for the night, heard the thunder and thunder above their heads at dusk. In an instant, the big raindrops turned into water lines. , kept falling down.
"Damn it, why did it rain all of a sudden?" Tian Lin muttered while riding her horse: "Now everyone will turn into drowned rats."
"Girl, don't be in the crow's mouth." Guan Heng asked Ruotao to quickly take out the raincoats for everyone to put on. He continued: "I have sent the six ghosts out to find a nearby place to take shelter from the rain. Let's go first. Let’s take a step forward.”
"Dang bang." At this moment, something fell out of Ruotao's arms, which was a pure copper fruit engraved with words. This object was not the one Guan Heng found, but Ruotao was leaving the valley peak of Zhuxi River. When I was pushing it, I accidentally cut open the belly of the Golden Bone Spider and found it.
"Hey, that's weird." Ruotao reached out and picked up the object and suddenly shouted, "Why did it change color?"
"Where is it? Let me take a look." After hearing Guan Heng's words, the other party handed over the pure copper fruit: "Young Master, look, it was originally a brass color, but when it fell into the puddle, it turned into a layer of faint green. .”
"It's a little weird, but it's important to take shelter from the rain now. Ruotao, please put it away first." Just after Guan Heng finished speaking, the ghost figure of a giant bee suddenly flew back in the air opposite.
"What? There is a cave hundreds of feet away?" Guan Heng was overjoyed and immediately called everyone: "Everyone, come over quickly."
A short while later, everyone was in the cave, finally no longer exposed to the rain. Tianlin and Ruotao used gravel to build a stove to light a fire. Guan Heng and Agou were sorting the food and preparing to heat it. Everyone was busy.
But the three guys, the Ghost Swallowing Tiger, the Elephant Snake Bird and the Mountain Osprey, didn't stop for a moment. They noticed that there was a passage behind the cave, so they walked inside together.
"Crack... crack..."
The firewood branches cracked and made a crisp sound. When the bonfire was raised, everyone around them immediately became much warmer. At this time, Guan Heng was skewering the meat with dead branches and grilling the noodles on the fire, and said: "Huhu, no need. Being outside in the rain and cold and having some hot food, I'm very satisfied."
"The mountain bream, your big cat, and the stupid bird haven't come back yet." Agou took a bite of the food and said, "These guys are too naughty. They really should be disciplined."
"Forget it, forget it, ignore those funny beasts, let's eat ours." Guan Heng said with a smile: "Tianlin, don't leave anything for those guys to eat for a while, they will starve to death after one or two meals. No."
"Okay, okay. Anyway, when the time comes, you will soften your hearts and let them eat until they are full." Tianlin shook her head: "Doting, that's what it is like, huh."
"Doting?" Guan Heng and Agou suddenly felt chills running down their spines. They looked at each other and said at the same time, "It's enough to abuse those bastards from time to time."
The next moment, the roar of the ghost-eating tiger, the noise like a snake bird, and the chirping scream of the mountain hawk sounded at the same time, and everyone was stunned when they heard it.
"Chichichiji——" The first person to rush over from the other side of the grotto was the screaming mountain scorpion. In a panic, this guy immediately plunged into Agou's arms, and the noodles and meat jerky in his hands fell at the same time. Entering the bonfire, it burned to ashes in an instant.
"You guy, how dare you waste my food." Agou's face suddenly turned dark. He stretched out his hand and pinched the mountain slug's head: "Humph, little one, do you believe I can break your neck?"
"Chi chi chi..." The mountain rhinoceros was trembling with fright at this time, and quickly handed the thing in its little paws to Ah Gou.
"What is this stuff?"
"It smells so good." A fresh and pleasant aroma suddenly overflowed and spread. Tianlin used to collect spiritual herbs and elixirs, so she was well-informed. She suddenly pointed at the thing in Agou's hand and shouted: "Hey, isn't this...isn't it 'Earth Marrow Meat Zhi'? It's a rare and good thing."
"Ouch——"
"Quack——" In the flash of lightning, two guys, the Ghost Swallowing Tiger and the Elephant Snake Bird, also howled and hurried over. Seeing this, Guan Heng immediately pointed at them and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop, stop."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. Poke in: "Bang!"
"Awww...awww..." The Ghost Swallowing Tiger's face was full of anger, and he roared at Guan Heng like an accusation.
"Okay, it's all mixed up and I can't even understand it. Please describe it slowly." After Guan Heng finished speaking, the ghost-eating tiger and colorful strange birds were gesticulating and making strange calls. Guan Heng spent a long time trying. Only then did we understand the general situation.
It turned out that One Bird and Two Beasts had just gone to play an "adventure game" in the tunnel behind the cave. As a result, these three guys accidentally got into the entrance of a huge cave. It was quite wide, even for a strong and tall ghost-swallowing tiger. Went in effortlessly.
After wandering for a while, they discovered that there was a winding passage more than ten feet long connected to the end of the cave. There was a bright light flashing at the other end, but it was relatively narrow. The ghost-eating tiger could not squeeze through, and the snake-like bird could not flap its wings to fly. past.
Only the sharp-billed mountain eagle slithered away without hesitation, and finally found this thing in that inexplicable place, which was the thing in Agou's hand, what Tian Lin said - earth marrow meat mushroom.
Tian Lin explained at this time: "This earth marrow mushroom is as good as thirteen-leaf Xuncao. Eating it will prolong your life and prevent you from all kinds of diseases."
