Tang Zhong was an honest man. When he couldn't find any clues, he was about to go back when he saw a gopher digging a hole not far away.
Tang Zhong immediately felt happy, as if he had seen a good friend, and hurriedly rushed over.
Gophers are inherently very alert animals and are very afraid of people. What's more, this is a giant gopher that is larger than an average house cat, weighing seven or eight pounds, so it is naturally more psychic and alert.
Although Tang Zhong's Qinggong was very high, he still made a slight sound when he jumped past. The gopher heard the noise and hurriedly gave up digging and fled into the grass quickly.
When Tang Zhong saw the gopher fleeing into the grass, he hurriedly called out softly: "Hey! Don't run away, I have something to ask you."
If a normal person talks to a gopher like this, the gopher will have long since fled without a trace. But for some reason, Tang Zhong's words turned out to be very useful. When the gopher heard his call, he timidly poked his head out, as if he understood Tang Zhong's call.
Tang Zhong didn't use any special language at all, but the gopher could understand him just as he usually did. I don’t know if these animals themselves understand human speech, or if there is something special about what Tang Zhong said that allows animals that cannot understand human speech to understand it.
The big gopher slowly poked his head out, looked around carefully, and then discovered Tang Zhong. Normally, when a gopher sees a stranger, he will immediately run away, but this gopher did not run away. Instead, he boldly ran to Tang Zhong slowly.
"Oh! Brother Gopher, did you see any strangers just now?" Tang Zhong asked as if he was talking to an ordinary person.
When Brother Gopher heard this, he quickly shook his head, then thought for a moment, and then nodded again.
"You nodded and shook your head again. What do you mean?" Tang Zhong asked in confusion.
At this time, the gopher finally chirped for a while. Others could not understand it at all, but Tang Zhong heard it clearly.
"Oh! You said, you didn't see any strangers, but there were violent noises on the ground from time to time?" Tang Zhong suddenly realized.
The gopher listened and nodded happily, as if he couldn't believe that Tang Zhong could actually understand its language.
"Then can you tell me where those noises on the ground are coming from?" Tang Zhong then asked.
Hearing this, the gopher barked again randomly, and Tang Zhong immediately understood: "You said that the noise has disappeared now, maybe they have all left."
"Then can you take me to find them?" Tang Zhong then asked.
The big gopher heard this, thought carefully for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement with Tang Zhong.
Rats are inherently very smart animals, and this big gopher is an old monster, so he is naturally even shrewder. Not only is it very alert, but its sense of smell, hearing, etc. are extremely sharp. They can detect clues that ordinary people cannot detect at all.
Tang Zhong was very happy to see Gopher agreeing, so he chased Gopher all the way, but still found nothing.
Although Tang Zhong has many abilities that are unusual for ordinary people, he is still a human being after all. He cannot be compared with the gophers at all, and it is absolutely impossible to possess the many unique abilities of the gophers.
The big gopher did not walk on the road at all, but burrowed randomly in the forest ravines. Even Tang Zhong, who had the ability to walk on flat ground, found it very painful to follow, and almost lost him several times. Because the gopher sometimes burrows directly into the hole and takes a long time to come out from another exit far away, so even if Tang Zhong has magical skills, he will still be lost.
Fortunately, this gopher can really be regarded as a gentleman among gophers. Every time when Tang Zhong loses track of him, he will stop and wait for Tang Zhong.
Tang Zhong followed the big gopher and walked dozens of miles of mountain roads with no roads at all, and finally came to a valley. Tang Zhong looked from a distance and saw the flickering fire in the valley. It seemed that someone was resting inside.
The big gopher was very measured and knew that this place was already a dangerous place, so he didn't want to move forward anyway. He only said goodbye to Tang Zhong and continued to dig his own hole.
Tang Zhong couldn't force himself, so he just thanked the gopher and then quietly lurked towards the mouth of the valley.
But strangely enough, Tang Zhong could still hear faint human voices inside from a distance, but when he got closer, the sounds of conversations inside suddenly disappeared, and only the sound of the bursting of flames remained.
Tang Zhong's mind was relatively simple and he didn't think too much. Seeing that there was no sound of people inside, he stuck his head out to observe, only to find that except for a few piles of residual fire, there was no one inside. Tang Zhong thought that all these people had left, so he boldly walked into the valley, only to see that apart from the lack of weapons, a lot of baggage, food, and money were still there. It seemed that those people left in a hurry.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely think that he had been fooled, but Tang Zhong didn't even think of this level, and shouted "Is there anyone there?" in the valley.
Tang Zhong neither saw the person nor knew whether it was an enemy or a friend, so he rashly called out. This was indeed a dangerous thing.
However, the only thing that responded to him in the valley was his own echo.
Tang Zhong was a little disappointed. Just as he was about to walk back, several piles of residual fire around him suddenly started to burn violently without any warning. The few remaining fires were almost burned out. If no one added more firewood, it would be impossible for them to suddenly become more prosperous.
Although Tang Zhong is very stupid, he is very capable. It is impossible for such things to escape his eyes.
"Haha! It turns out you didn't leave!" Tang Zhong knew at a glance that these piles of residual fire suddenly became more powerful, and it was because someone was secretly exerting internal control.
However, when other people encounter such a master, they will definitely be very careful, for fear of being fooled, but the Tang Zhongyi master is so bold that he seems not to take it seriously at all, and still behaves very casually.
Also, if a person with a normal mind had Tang Zhong's ability, I'm afraid he would be even more arrogant and arrogant than Tang Zhong. Tang Zhong's casualness is not actually arrogance or the boldness of a skilled person, because this is his nature - to follow his heart and move according to his heart.
Tang Zhong's martial arts is unique, but his opponent seems to be not easy either. Before anyone shows up, several balls of flame suddenly attack Tang Zhong.
"Wow! It's burning your butt!" Several balls of fireworks attacked Tang Zhong at the same time. One of them almost set Tang Zhong's butt on fire, and Tang Zhong screamed in fright.
Several groups of fireworks attacked Tang Zhong at the same time, and Tang Zhong couldn't even see clearly who was attacking him.
In a panic, Tang Zhong spun around and flew into the air. At this time, several groups of fireworks collided with each other, and immediately exploded again, and then exploded into a larger group of fireworks.
Before Tang Zhong came to his senses, a man in black suddenly emerged from the exploding fireworks. He was holding a Japanese long knife and was chasing after Tang Zhong from below.
