"Brother Qiao, where are you going?" Hearing Qing Huang's question, Qiao scratched his head in embarrassment: "That's right, I saw you guys so... affectionate this morning, and I couldn't help but want to take a look at myself. My fiancée."
"Oh, you have a fiancée?!" Guan Heng ran to the other party and teased: "Hey, is that girl pretty? What's her name? Tell me."
"A Heng!" Qinghuang rode Xiaojiao to the position between the two of them and said to him angrily: "How can you just ask about other people's fiancées? It's rude."
"It's okay, it's okay. We are all friends. It doesn't hurt to tell you. Her name is Yao. Our marriage was decided by the elders in the family when we were young. Yao's father is an elder of the Bailing tribe who likes to travel around, so she has always been there since she was a child. Follow my father-in-law..."
The woodcutter shook his head and let the horse ride freely. He said with a bit of happiness on his face: "Ahem, it's my uncle who is traveling with me." After hearing this, Guan Heng whispered: "Well, he's drifting around. Life seems not easy for a girl.”
"Yes, we only met a few times before Yao turned sixteen. I have always been confused about her feelings, until one day..." When Qiao said this, he suddenly blushed: "Hey, it seems If you talk too much, don’t mention the following things.”
Seeing this guy's coquettish look, Guan Heng knew there must be a reason. He immediately laughed and said, "Boy, don't say half of what you say. Hurry up and talk to us. What's going on?"
Guan Heng said and winked at Qing Huang, who immediately understood and helped: "Tell me, tell me, there is no fourth person here anyway, we just promise not to spread the word."
"Oh, you guys are really, okay, just say it, remember to keep it a secret for me."
Qiao said at this time: "Actually, when I was young, I was weak and sick, and I seemed withdrawn and cowardly. Although I was a young clan leader, most of my peers looked down on me. Until I was sixteen years old, Yao and her father returned to Guling Gorge once …”
That time, Qiao saw his fiancée, a pretty and lovely girl, with a bit of heroism and stubbornness between her eyebrows.
To be honest, when he was young, Qiao didn't pay much attention to Yao, his nominal fiancée, but the moment the two met, he felt like he was in love for the first time and fell in love at first sight.
It's a pity that others don't think so. When the girl sees Qiao's cowardly appearance, she gets angry and always talks coldly to him.
There was even a time when Yao directly challenged Qiao, threatening that if the other party couldn't defeat her, their marriage would have to be abandoned.
That competition was the worst defeat in Qiao's sixteen years since he was born. Normally, he would not care if he was ridiculed and bullied by his peers, but today he was knocked to the ground again and again by the girl he admired, which filled his heart with Regret.
However, Qiao is also very stubborn at heart. Even if he is continuously knocked down, he will always get up with scars all over his body and continue to challenge the opponent. This fact surprised Yao. At that time, the girl asked him, why didn't he admit defeat? That would save you a lot of physical pain.
The bruised and swollen Qiao Qiao gasped and said only eight words: I like you! I want to marry you!
Hearing this, the heroic Bai Ling tribe girl smiled and said, you can still be saved, so be it, since you want to marry me, you must win me, I will accept your challenge at any time.
After listening to the other party's words, Qiao made up his mind and continued to hone himself. In just a few years, he became a black energy tyrant. He also changed his cowardly character and developed a fiery temperament to challenge powerful enemies everywhere. , no wonder he provoked Guan Heng and started a fight when he saw Guan Heng in Chiling Fort.
"Good boy, I don't see that you really have the energy to refuse to admit defeat." Guan Heng pointed his thumb at Qiao at this time, and then said: "A good man will die for a girl, be busy for a girl, and spend a lifetime for a girl. Become a fighting maniac, hehe."
"A Heng, you are teasing him again." Qinghuang listened intently and said quickly: "Keep talking, what happened next? Did you win?"
"Well..." Qiao's face was as red as a red cloth, and he muttered in a low voice: "Yao and I have competed about forty times in the past few years. She won thirty-two of them, and I won eight. Go back..."
"Pfft - hahaha -" Hearing this, Guan Heng couldn't help laughing anymore: "Is it wrong? You kid only won a few times?!"
"Hehehe..." Qinghuang also smiled and snickered at this time. Seeing the two of them like this, Qiao smiled bitterly: "Look, I knew I couldn't tell you, otherwise I would definitely be laughed at."
"Hehe, I guess those competitions were just young couples playing tricks." Guan Heng whispered into Qinghuang's ear: "Why don't we compete when we have time? I will choose the venue. It is best to have good lighting and a good atmosphere. , a room with a high bed and warm pillows...”
"Fuck you." Qinghuang blushed and waved his hand to push Guan Heng away, but the latter laughed, ran to Qiao and asked with a smile: "Brother, you have won eight times and you are still a winner. Are you this beautiful wife?" Are you determined to get married?"
"Haha, that is, that is."
Qiao looked happy at this time, and he continued: "In recent months, I have been hesitating how to formally propose to Yao. After all, my father-in-law is getting older, and it is time to return to Guling Gorge to take care of himself. My husband and I I don’t want Yao’s marriage to be delayed any longer, but at this time, I don’t have the courage to speak.”
At this point, Qiao paused for a moment and then whispered: "Perhaps I was too passive when I faced her in the past. In addition, we are so familiar with each other. As soon as I show any sign of opening my mouth, I will definitely speak. If she notices something, what should I do if, what if she rejects me?"
"Hahaha, are you worried about this kind of thing?"
Guan Heng smiled, then put his arm around the other person's shoulders, and deliberately turned his back to Qing Huang and whispered to him: "Brother, when it comes to chasing girls, I am someone who has experienced it, and I will tell you one thing. Perseverance is of course It's important, but the most important thing is to be 'thick-skinned'. What does one failure mean? You were beaten so badly by her before, so what does it mean to propose marriage? Just do it decisively."
Although he had the person he liked, Qiao almost never asked others for advice on such matters. He asked with a serious face: "Brother Guan, are you true?"
"Nonsense, the beauty behind you is the one that my brother worked so hard to catch up with." Guan Heng held his head high and said proudly: "Qing Huang is completely obedient to me now, and is extremely gentle, hehe .”
"Brother...if you don't brag, will you die?" Qiao glanced at Qing Huang, then smiled bitterly at Guan Heng and said, "Who is submissive to whom? Do you think my brother can't tell?"
"Cough cough cough -" After being choked by the other party's ridicule, Guan Heng immediately coughed in embarrassment. He pulled Qiao to his side and whispered: "Bad boy, don't talk about me yet. I just ask Just tell me, do you want to marry your lovely wife?"
As soon as his words came out of his mouth, Qiao immediately blurted out the truth subconsciously: "I do! Of course I do, I, I have been thinking about it for almost ten years!"
"That's right, brother, I will teach you two moves now..." Before Guan Heng finished speaking, Qinghuang said from behind: "Hey, don't teach him any weird things, otherwise it will backfire. I won’t spare you.”
Guan Heng immediately turned his head and smiled: "Don't worry, my methods are all aboveboard."
Hearing this, Qinghuang muttered: "Humph, you have so many intestines, only a ghost will believe you."
Guan Heng's ears were pointed, but he pretended not to hear these words. He asked the young master of the Bailing tribe next to him: "Hey, how do you plan to propose to Yao?"
"Just, just walk up to Yao when no one else is present, and then ask her to marry me in as sincere a tone as possible..."
"Pah." Before the other party could finish speaking, Guan Heng slapped him on the head as if he hated iron. He said angrily: "Idiot, why have you forgotten the most important step? Just like that with nothing. Proposal?! Why would someone marry you?"
Qiao covered his painful forehead, and then asked with a sad face: "Then, what should I do?"
"Oh, no experience means no experience, you have to let me teach you step by step." Guan Heng shook his head, and then said: "How can you be sincere when you say this in vain? At least you have to prepare some gifts, right? For example Come on..."
Having said this, Guan Heng turned around and asked, "Qing Huang, if someone suddenly gave you a gift, would you be happy?"
"Of course I'm happy." Qinghuang stroked the demon deer's antlers and smiled: "As long as it is given to me sincerely, no matter whether the gift is expensive or not, I will be very happy."
"Hey, do you see?" Guan Heng whispered to Qiao Qiao: "This is the mentality of girls. Gifts are equal to surprises, which also means that they are soft-hearted and easy to be attacked. Do you understand? After all, you have known this girl for so long, she is the most Do you know what you like?"
"Well..."
Hearing Guan Heng's inquiry, Qiao scratched his head and thought for a long time before saying: "My father-in-law is a person from the Bailing tribe who specializes in studying ancient legends in the spiritual world. Yao has followed him for many years. He usually comes into contact with either ancient ruins or those difficult and difficult things. She understands words, to be honest, I really don’t know what she likes.”
"Oh, you have a stupid head." Guan Heng was so angry that he was a "student". He shook his head and said, "Since I can't find the one I like best, I can only settle for the second best. "
At the next moment, Qing Huang, who quietly sneaked behind the two of them and eavesdropped, suddenly asked: "Hey, what do you mean by settling for the second best?"
Guan Heng had long known that she was coming. Not only was he not surprised, but he answered naturally: "It's very simple, just make the proposal gifts 'popular' and find something that all girls will like and be interested in. That's it." ?”
"Oh, Brother Guan, you are so smart. As stupid as me, I never thought of this." After hearing this, Qiao said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you."
"Qinghuang, don't be idle, come over and think about ideas together, and try to fulfill their good deeds as soon as possible." After hearing Guan Heng's words, the other party nodded: "Okay."
The three of them discussed while walking, and they were moving very fast. In a short time, they arrived at the "甏罽罽ridge" where Qiao's fiancée temporarily lived. The terrain here is like a wide-mouthed jar, and there are many ancient spiritual tribes using it on the top of the mountain. The beacon tower that came to send messages was named after this.
As soon as he walked nearby, Guan Heng's ears suddenly twitched and he suddenly looked into the air: "Something is flying over."
"Gurgur - -" His words fell, and a group of more than a dozen strange birds were brought in the northwest direction. The fan was just opened, the beak was curved like a hook, and the red eyes flashed with bloodthirsty and ferocious light.
"That's...'The Ancient Cuckoo'?!" When Qiao saw the large group of birds, his expression immediately changed, and he loudly said: "The Ancient Cuckoo is an evil bird that specializes in feeding on carrion. There must be corpses wherever they appear. "
Guan Heng immediately understood what he meant: "Could it be that these evil birds are flying to the top of Feng Feng Mountain?!"
"Yes, something may have happened to Yao and my father-in-law, Elder Yong."
Qiao dropped these words and immediately galloped forward anxiously. Guan Heng and Qing Huang followed closely behind. The three of them reached the bottom of the mountain ridge in the blink of an eye, and heard the sound of "swish, swish, swish, swish" all around them. In an endless stream, a large group of evil beasts roared and rushed out.
"Ouch!" A red-haired three-eyed blood wolf howled and rushed towards Qiao's mount. This guy's purpose was very simple, first kill the horse and then bite the person.
"Get out!" The Qiao's swinging single-edged broad blade slashed hard on the opponent's waist and ribs. There was just a click. The blood wolf screamed and fell down. However, after rolling on the ground, this guy unexpectedly He swayed and stood up again.
"Damn it, they are also evil beasts of black energy!" Seeing blood dripping from the waist of the blood wolf, still running up crazily, Qiao's heart suddenly tightened, but in the next moment, Guan Heng's Hongyun Sword stabbed diagonally from the Quickly slashing over, "Crack!" just cut the ferocious beast into two.
"Qiao, we are here to contain the evil beasts. You and the big demon go up the mountain to see the situation."
As soon as Guan Heng's words fell, the shadow of the villain immediately floated to his side, and Qiao said loudly: "Thank you, I'll take the first step."
The sound of horse hooves resounded loudly, and the big demon who opened the way in front threw out countless small water blades and passed over the bodies of the evil beasts. These guys howled miserably and melted, and Qiao's mount took advantage of the situation and galloped towards the mountain.
Guan Heng and Qing Huang were back to back. They were now surrounded by dozens of ferocious beasts, but Qing Huang seemed particularly excited: "Haha, I haven't encountered this kind of scene for a long time. It's really nostalgic."
"Yes, I have forgotten the last time we joined hands to fight against the enemy. Be careful -"
"Bang!" As soon as these words were spoken, Guan Heng suddenly swung his sword and landed on Qinghuang's side, decapitating a ferocious evil leopard. He smiled and said, "No need to say thank you."
"Hmph, watch your back." Qinghuang scolded, and suddenly swept away the strange lotus blade in his palm. The short-legged evil rhinoceros that was rushing towards him felt a chill in his throat, and instantly turned red like an arrow: "Puff! "
"I killed two, and you just killed one. Remember, you are the one who owes the debt now." Hearing the other party's proud words, Guan Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Now I realize that giving you the Lotus Wonder Blade is a Wrong, if this happens, I will definitely lose."
…
"Hoo---" At this moment, the woodcutter's horse snorted and galloped, already halfway up the mountain.
"Swish, swish, swish!" It was too late to say, but soon, three giant apes with red and blue fur on their heads were able to stop the mount. Qiao was shocked when he saw it. These strong evil apes were all black. Qi Ding's strength is not even a bit stronger than his own.
But when he thought that his fiancée and father-in-law might be in danger on the peak, Qiao couldn't care so much at this time. "Qiang——" The single-edged broad blade suddenly left its sheath and was held in Qiao's hand. Two of them were in Qiao's hand. An evil ape suddenly rushed forward.
"Huh-bang!" Between the lightning and flint, the big demon's Ghost King Pearl suddenly rushed towards him, hitting the front of the evil ape's left eye socket. The water spirit hidden in the bead suddenly exploded, and the guy's head immediately melted to pieces. , the body fell to the ground with a plop.
When the big demon succeeded, the woodcutter's broad blade also struck the other opponent hard. Because the big demon secretly attached a touch of water spirit essence to his blade, the blade instantly killed the evil ape. Cut one into two and let him die an unexpected death.
"Chirp chirp -" The remaining evil ape saw that the situation was not good, and immediately roared and sent a message to the surrounding mountains and forests. Seeing this scene, Qiao shouted: "No, this guy wants to attract the same kind of evil beasts, Let’s leave quickly.”
As he said that, he got on his mount, raised his whip and urged the horse to continue running up the mountain. However, Qiao's horse had already run on the winding mountain road for dozens of miles. It was exhausted now, and its speed was getting slower and slower.
"咴咴咴..." After running less than ten feet, the horse's front hoof loosened and suddenly fell to the ground. Qiao was caught off guard and almost fell over.
After standing up in embarrassment, Qiao looked at the dying horse with tearful eyes behind him. He gritted his teeth and said "I'm sorry", and then ran on foot towards the peak.
…
At this moment, a fierce battle was also going on on the top of the mountain.
"Whoosh-bang!" A tall, strong old man with a red face swung a giant hammer and hit the evil beast's forehead, causing the opponent's skull to collapse immediately and he fell to the ground with a wailing sound.
"Beasts, come on!" the old man yelled, holding a giant hammer in his hand: "I'm going to crush you all."
"Aww-aow-aow-" Hearing the old man's roar, the three evil beasts with wolf heads and scorpion tails couldn't restrain their ferocity and rushed towards them.
Although the old man spoke harshly, he was actually exhausted. It was only supported by an unyielding fighting spirit that he did not fall down. Seeing the evil beasts besieging him, he originally hit them with a hammer, but his arms were so weak that he did not lift the giant hammer, but it clanged. Falling to the ground.
"Oops." Seeing this, the old man closed his eyes and waited for death, but a roar came from his ears: "Father-in-law, don't panic, I'm coming -"
"Is that the sound of the woodcutter?!" As soon as the old man opened his eyes, he saw the figure of the woodcutter rushing over. The single broad blade fell sharply and killed an evil beast instantly, cutting its body into two parts!
"Woooooooo-" The big demon also used the wind to pounce on him, killing the other panicked evil beasts one by one.
The old man was dumbfounded: "Why is such a powerful invisible spirit following you?"
"Father-in-law, don't ask about those trivial matters." Qiao pulled the other party's shoulder and asked loudly: "Where is Yao? Where is Yao?"
"Oh, she is not here where we live. Speaking of which, she has something to do with you. Someone from Guling Gorge sent a message a while ago, indicating that you may have passed by here recently."
The sturdy old man gasped and sat down on the stone next to him, and then continued: "That girl was ecstatic after hearing this. She goes to the nearby mountains and forests every day to collect delicious wild fruits and fungi, and plans to make delicious food for you. , today we went to the cliff four or five miles away, where there is a fruit tree..."
"No, there are many violent and ferocious evil beasts on this mountain. I'm worried about her safety, so I have to go and have a look." Qiao said and was about to leave when Guan Heng's voice came from not far behind: "Hey , here we come!”
Taking three steps and two steps at a time, several people gathered together. Qiao quickly introduced the identities of Guan Heng and Guan Heng to his father-in-law, Elder Yong. The old man seemed very polite and greeted them warmly.
Guan Heng said: "Without further delay, aren't you going to find Yao? I'll go with you. Qinghuang and the Six Ghosts will stay with the old man, so that everyone will be safe."
Everyone nodded in agreement to his suggestion, so Guan Heng and Qiao immediately set off and ran towards the cliff four or five miles ahead.
…
At the same time, there was an Elf girl in a blue and white floral dress carrying a bamboo basket, climbing on the cliffs. Although the environment she was in was not easy, she moved very quickly and agilely. She was obviously used to it. this way.
"Hehe, that woodcutter guy has always been very naughty. This time I will let him eat to his heart's content, and then come to me..." Thinking of this, the girl's cheeks turned red, and she muttered: "I'm going to die. Isn't it too long?" Why didn't you see him? I feel so nervous."
"Hoo ho ho -" At this moment, a strange wind came from the bottom of the cliff, and the girl cried out: "Oh no, that guy is about to wake up. I didn't expect to be delayed for so long today, so let's go quickly."
It turns out that there is a strange beast under the cliff that likes to sleep all day long. The guy only wakes up for a while when he is hungry and pounces on the cliff to eat the fruits on the trees.
But at this time, all the fruits on the trees were picked by the girl. If the strange beast woke up and found her, it would be furious and swallow the girl whole with her bones.
The more the girl thought about it, the more frightened she became. She subconsciously climbed up quickly with her hands and feet, and in an instant she reached the edge of the cliff. "Okay, there's only one step left..."
"Click - clatter -"
It was too late, but it was too late. The girl who had not had time to climb up slipped and kicked off a large protruding rock. At the same time, her body also fell downwards.
"Whoaaah——"
"Whoosh - swish, swish -" in the flash of lightning, a swift shadow caught the girl's waist, and then pulled her upward, "whoosh!" The girl flying into the air showed her nimble and agile skills, suddenly and suddenly Landing gracefully.
The woodcutter next to her immediately rushed over and hugged her: "Yao, you scared me to death."
It turned out that it was Guan Heng who had just swung the hook and claw of the Hundred-foot Demonic Insect to save people. He saw that the opponent was in a critical situation, so he took action quickly.
"Qiao, you're here?!" When the girl saw her fiancé, she was immediately confused. She subconsciously opened her arms and hugged him. The next moment, she suddenly pushed Qiao away: "Oh, there is a big brother next to you. Really?" Excuse me."
"Hehehe, it doesn't matter, you continue, I can avoid it." Guan Heng said and was about to turn around, when a violent wind sound suddenly came from his ears: "Hu-wuwuwu-"
"Oops, there's a monster coming, you two, get out of the way!" As soon as he said these words, Guan Heng suddenly pushed with his palm, knocking the two of them several feet away.
At the same time, a swift black shadow suddenly appeared behind him, and this guy swung his claws towards the back of Guan Heng's head: "Hoo!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" Seeing that Guan Heng was in danger, the Yingbai ghost roared out of the copper urn and waved his fist to face the sneak attack of the beast.
"Whew - bang bang bang!" The fists, shadows and claws of the two peaks collided in the air one after another. The opponent was unable to resist the Yingbaigui's swift and fierce offensive. He quickly swept to the side, turned over and spun with a roar, and then landed lightly on the ground.
"Look, that's the famous ferocious beast nearby, its name is 'Crab Claw Golden Centipede'." Yao shouted from the side: "Brother, be careful, the burrs on this thing are highly poisonous and will pop out on their own. "
"Really?!" Guan Heng saw that the back half of the golden centipede with crab claws indeed resembled a multi-legged centipede, except that its head was rounded, its fangs and huge teeth were very ferocious, its left forelimb had a three-toed claw, and its right forelimb had a Giant pliers that opened and closed, making a clicking sound.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of poison. Yingbaigui, let's go together." Guan Hengheng rushed forward and did not forget to shout: "Qiao, take your fiancée and stay away to avoid being accidentally injured."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yingbaigui took the lead in raising his hand and waved several water blades. "Chila, chila" passed over the opponent's body. After the crab claw golden earthworm was hit, several holes melted all over its body, making it whimper in pain. Screaming, Guan Heng's figure moved like lightning, and his swords slashed down quickly.
"Crack!" The sharp claws of this guy's left forelimb fell to the ground, but just when they wanted to continue the attack, the golden earthworm suddenly retreated to the edge of the cliff, quickly turned over and ran away.
"It's a pity that it escaped." Guan Heng returned the sword to its sheath, then walked to Qiao and Yao and asked, "Are you two okay?"
The two of them shook their heads and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Guan Heng laughed loudly: "Why are you hugging me so tightly when you have nothing to do? Be careful that you won't be able to breathe." After hearing this, they both immediately blushed and let go. However, Yao looked at the direction of the cliff at this time and suddenly sighed. In one breath: "Alas..."
The woodcutter next to him asked, "What's wrong with you?" Yao felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she immediately forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."
Guan Heng said at this time: "Okay, hurry back to the top of the mountain. I'm worried that Elder Yong and Qing Huang will be besieged by evil beasts again."
"Yes, yes, yes, I have to go see daddy... Oops!" Yao just wanted to take a step, but she felt a sharp pain in her ankle, and she wailed: "My foot seems to be twisted."
Qiao immediately whispered to Guan Heng: "Brother, can the elixir you carry..."
"What kind of elixir?!" Guan Heng immediately pretended to be confused and said, "It's gone, it's all at Qing Huang's place."
Then, Guan Heng winked at him: "Idiot, this girl is injured, why don't you quickly carry her on your shoulder?"
"Oh?! Oh oh oh - I know." The boy Qiao realized in an instant that it wasn't that Guan Heng didn't bring the two-sheng ointment with him, but that he deliberately created an opportunity for him to have close contact with his fiancée.
"Oh, what a stupid boy." Guan Heng looked at Qiao running in front of him with his fiancée on his back, and he couldn't help but shake his head: "I need to teach you everything. When we get to the bridal chamber, won't we? Let me do it for you?"
…
After a short while, everyone returned to the temporary residence of Elder Yong and Yao - a bark house on the top of Yufeng Mountain.
"You are finally back." Qinghuang saw the three people approaching and immediately greeted them. He reached out and took Yao's wrist: "Oh, this beautiful girl is Yao, right? She is so handsome."
"I know you are the sister Qinghuang whom Brother Guan and Qiao mentioned." The girl from the Bailing tribe said happily: "You are really beautiful."
It is easy for young girls to become friends without any grudges, and these two people were no exception. They chatted together in just a few words. Guan Heng and Qiao looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and Judao thought: "Well, there is nothing wrong with us brothers now."
"Hey, hey, they are all young men. It's not like they won't be able to survive without the girl for a while. Come over here." Elder Yong waved grandly at this time and called the two of them to him.
Guan Heng said hurriedly: "Elder Yong, I was in an emergency just now and forgot to introduce myself. I'm really sorry."
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. Thanks to you this time, you saved the lives of me and Yao, as well as my people in Bai Linggu Castle."
Elder Yong smiled boldly and continued: "It is only reasonable that I should say thank you to you. By the way, I heard Qinghuang say that you are going to the Lingwang Palace to find the whereabouts of your sister?"
"That's right, my sister-in-law disappeared on the first day she came to the spirit world. Qinghuang and I were very worried. We searched along the way. All signs showed that the child had wandered into the Spirit King's Palace."
After listening to Guan Heng's words, Elder Yong nodded slightly: "I see, indeed, after passing through the territory of our Bailing tribe, you can reach the Lingwang Palace by walking another hundred miles, but will you be welcomed there? But I can’t say for sure.”
"It doesn't matter, we will find a way when the time comes." After Guan Heng said this, something suddenly came to his mind, so he patted Qiao Qiao on the shoulder and said: "You and the old man chat first, I will go and talk to Qing Huang." In a word, I’ll be back in a minute.”
After saying that, Guan Heng walked behind the bark house and found Qing Huang who was with Demon Deer Xiaojiao.
"Hey, where's Miss Yao?" Hearing Guan Heng's question, Qinghuang smiled and said, "She said there were some plants nearby that Xiaojiao might like to eat, so she went to pick them and will be back soon."
"It just so happens that Yao is not here. I have something I want you to ask in a roundabout way..." Guan Heng said, whispering a few words into Qinghuang's ear. She nodded slightly: "Yeah, I understand."
After a while, Qiao and Guan Heng were standing next to the bushes near the bark house, talking.
"Brother Guan, why did you ask me to come over?" Hearing the other party's question, Guan Heng blinked his eyes and pretended to be mysterious with a smile: "Don't worry, this matter may have something to do with your proposal gift. Wait. After Qing Huang comes over, we will naturally know the result."
"A Heng, Qiao." Qinghuang hurried over at this time, and she said with a smile: "I heard about it."
It turned out that just when Guan Heng was defeating the Crab Claw Golden Earthworm on the edge of the cliff, he noticed Yao sighing softly at the fleeing figure of the alien beast. He felt that there was some reason for this, so he asked Qing Huang to inquire about it.
As expected by Guan Heng, Yao was very interested in a certain "thing" on the golden earthworm. That thing was a small piece of colorful carapace on the back of the golden earthworm with crab claws.
Speaking of which, this golden earthworm with crab claws can be regarded as a rare earthly beast, not an evil beast. They have a long lifespan, at least hundreds of years. When they first enter adulthood, the golden earthworm's whole body is full of colorful colors. , dazzling for a moment, but as time goes by, their colorful colors will gradually fade.
However, occasionally there will be an outlier among the golden earthworms, which will retain a small part of the colorful carapace on its back, which will not fade throughout its life. It is such an inconspicuous thing, but it has extraordinary value.
The mottled carapace on the back of the golden earthworm is not only very beautiful in appearance, but also has the effect of expelling evil spirits and curing diseases when worn on the body. Especially for girls from the Eldest tribe who have some problems that are not suitable for outsiders to treat, this thing is quite beneficial.
Yao has no other brothers or sisters, and her mother died young. She has been wandering around with her father, Elder Yong, all over the spiritual world since she was a child. In fact, she has long been infected with pollen poison from some unknown plants, and she often suffers from itching and itching. Red spots and rash.
But her father, Elder Yong, was used to being careless and did not pay attention to his daughter's pain. Yao also inquired about it and found out that if the mottled carapace of the golden earthworm was peeled off, polished into a bracelet and worn on the wrist, it could inhibit the recurrence of red spots and rashes, but But she didn't have the ability to catch the crab-clawed golden earthworm that shuttled between the cliffs like lightning.
These things were all found out so easily because Qing and Huang were both girls. Now that they told Guan Heng and Qiao, these two people finally understood it completely.
"Oh, I really didn't expect that Yao would suffer this kind of pain behind his back." At this moment, Qiao was pacing back and forth anxiously: "What should I do, what should I do?"
"Idiot, isn't there me here? Why are you so anxious?" Guan Heng shook his head in a leisurely manner, and then said: "Well, let's go to the cliff again, and my giant bee will help search. Are you still worried that you can’t find that golden centipede?”
"Really?!" Qiao Da was overjoyed after hearing this. He opened his arms and rushed over to give Guan Heng a hug: "You are really the great benefactor of my life..."
"Stop it, get out of the way." Guan Heng pushed him away angrily: "I have saved you for several times, but I have never seen you so excited, you are a guy who values sex over friends!"
"Pfft..." After hearing what he said, Qinghuang covered her mouth and snickered. Guan Heng then said: "You are here with the five ghosts to protect the injured Elder Yong and Yao. We will be back in a while. We can't wait to pick him up." The trip down.”
Qinghuang nodded slightly: "I know, I think that little golden centipede is not difficult to deal with, but I still want to remind you to be more careful."
…
After a while, the two came to the cliff again. At this moment, Qiao suddenly patted Guan Heng on the shoulder: "Hey, I want to ask you something."
After hearing this, Guan Heng smiled and said: "Hehehe, this is a proposal gift for you. Even if you don't tell me, I will try my best to help."
"No, quite the opposite."
Qiao shook his head and said: "I just want you to help find the golden centipede. As for obtaining the mottled carapace, I must do it independently. You also know that I want to use it to propose to Yao to show my sincerity, so You must do the eight words of 'doing it yourself and doing your best'."
"Well said, these are the words of a pure man from the Spiritual Clan who stand upright." Guan Heng smiled and punched the opponent's shoulder, and then said: "Okay, I promise you, even if you are beaten half to death by a golden earthworm, I will never help!"
Hearing this, Qiao couldn't help but have black lines on his head. He rubbed his swollen forehead and muttered: "Hey, you really hope that I can win easily. Don't say such scary words as 'beat me half to death'."
As soon as these words came out, the two people burst into laughter.
"Giant Bee and Baby White Ghost, start searching at the bottom of this cliff. We must find traces of the crab-clawed golden earthworm." At this point, Guan Heng paused for a moment and continued: "Remember, that guy has been captured. I cut off a piece of the forelimb, maybe I can leave some clues."
"Zhizhizhi——"
"Buzz buzz—" the two ghosts agreed and immediately flew towards the bottom of the cliff. Qiao said: "Then let's climb down and look for it." Guan Heng nodded: "Well, I mean, let's go."
…
After a while, the two of them had climbed to the middle of the cliff. At this moment, the giant bee suddenly flew over.
"Why, did you find the whereabouts of the golden earthworm... eh?!" Before Guan Heng could finish asking this question, he suddenly noticed something was wrong behind the giant bee. He immediately shouted: "Hey, Qiao, quickly find a place to fix your body. There's something tricky coming from the other side."
After listening to his words, the young master of the Bailing Tribe suddenly grabbed the wild vines on the cliff beside him and swung towards the protruding rocks beside him, followed closely by Guan Heng.
It turned out that a group of giant flying mosquitoes all covered in red were chased behind the giant bee for some reason. All of these guys exuded a dangerous aura, and the leading ones were in the black energy realm.
Seeing the other party, Qiao Qiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, with a bit of nervousness in his tone: "Oh no, that's the 'bloodthirsty needle mosquito', a strange insect that even evil beasts don't want to provoke. As long as it bites you, you can't Let go and it will turn into a thin skin in the blink of an eye.”
"It's just a group of big mosquitoes. Just don't get too close." Guan Heng protected the woodcutter behind him and said, "Hurry up and plug your ears. I'm going to start dealing with them."
Hearing this, the woodcutter covered his ears with his hands, and Guan Heng also asked the Yingbai ghost to use spiritual energy to protect his ear holes, and then he raised his voice and shouted: "Two ghosts, spit out the ghost king beads and collide with each other! "
"Whoosh-boom-boom-boom-boom!"
It was too late, but it was too late. The baby white ghost and the giant bee suddenly opened their mouths and sprayed beads. The moment they hit the air, they made an earth-shattering noise, and spread suddenly in a ripple shape. The bloodthirsty needle mosquitoes were caught off guard and were swept in. Attacked by loud waves, each one exploded into dust and ashes.
"It's amazing!" At this moment, Qiao Qiao was dumbfounded: "Most of it was solved in an instant."
"It's true that it's only half. Those black acupuncture mosquitoes are not dead, but they were seriously injured and escaped." Guan Heng waved at this time and shouted: "Okay, no need to chase, let's find the golden centipede."
"Guan Heng, look." The woodcutter reached out and pointed toward the bottom of the cliff: "I just found a dark shadow secretly picking up the fallen needle mosquitoes, a bit like the golden centipede with its forelimbs broken off."
After listening to his words, Guan Heng suddenly flicked his fingers: "Giant Bee, hurry down and check, Qiao, let's go down too." After a few breaths, the two of them and Yingbaigui had landed on the flat ground, which was the bottom of the cliff. , full of thorns, wormwood and tangled shrubs, making it appear inaccessible.
"The giant bee has also disappeared...could it be that something was discovered?" Guan Heng glanced around at this moment and found a road covered with weeds without any effort. He said: "Look at the width and the scratches on it, this is the golden road. Let’s pursue the traces of earthworms walking forward.”
"Okay." Qiao agreed, and the two of them walked forward quickly.
…
On the other side, the giant bee finally found the footprint of crab tongs and found each other, but that was not a golden magpie, but a whole nest, there were a hundred and small, all of them, all of them were surrounded. The largest broken limb golden crickets were wandering one by one.
Seeing this scene, the giant bee was reluctant to alarm each other, and the place where he always had always flew.
