I don’t know when Xingyue Pond appeared in the desolate land of Northern Wasteland, adding some vitality to the place.
The Milky Way in the sky will be attracted by the Star-Moon Pool on a full-moon night, lowering the power of the stars. As the power of the stars approaches, gravity will suddenly occur, attracting the underground water of the Star-Moon Pool up, forming a lake and a Milky Way. The earth and water merged one after another to form a holy place for monsters to practice.
But the power of the stars at this time is too powerful and cannot be endured by ordinary creatures. It can only wait for a while to wait for the star power to dilute.
As the groundwater drains through the gaps, the power of the stars gradually becomes less and diluted, and can gradually be absorbed by monsters without causing harm.
When the water level drops, hundreds of small puddles will be left, which are called star pools. The moon pool in the middle is the largest pool, connected to the underground water. The star power is strong and will not decrease. Historically, only the most genius monsters can resist this kind of water. level of star power.
This day is the day when the Star Moon Pool opens, and the night is the night of the full moon, and the power of the stars will come again. The young talents of Da Mian Lake need to absorb as much of the diluted star power as possible during this daytime period.
In the early morning, a team slowly walked into the wild forest. Along the way, there were jagged rocks and crows, which disturbed the minds of passers-by. Ancient trees and withered vines, arbors and pine needles were everywhere, like an ancient road in the netherworld.
Xingyue Pond is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The surrounding mountains are not high but very dense. There are guards guarding the surrounding area, making it difficult for outsiders to enter or exit. Its entrance is a narrow gap that can only accommodate one person.
You Ziji pretended to be a servant. He was not old at this time, only eleven years old. He was slender and nimble. He put two wisps of beard on his mouth and sewed something into the pants on his buttocks. He walked strangely. Sneaky, really like a rat spirit.
The little fox hasn't changed that much, it's still a fox costume.
The two of them walked towards the entrance together. You Ziji took out a nameplate. The guard guarding the door took a look and saw that it was indeed the seal of the shopkeeper of Damianhu. He made way for them and let them in.
Passing through the gap is the periphery of Xingyue Pool. Here is a whole corridor specially dug by the monsters. There are stone rooms on both sides of the corridor, which are used for the guards to stay and live. Of course, some of the people who come to accompany them People also need to wait here.
Further on from here is the Xingyue Pool. Xiaohu can go in, but the servant played by You Ziji can only stop.
"If something happens, you must make a fuss. I will pick you up when the time comes." When they were about to break up, You Ziji took the trouble to tell Xiaohu what he had already decided. I don't know if he was too nervous or was afraid of Xiaohu. Can't remember.
Xiaohu was older than Youziji, half a head taller than him. She reached out and patted Youziji on the head, like a big sister doting on her younger brother.
"Don't worry, there are so many monsters here, it's not easy for them to do anything. Go and find the news about your friend."
Xiaohu continued to move forward with the team, and it wasn't until his figure was blurred that You Ziji withdrew his gaze.
I don't know where the corridor leads. You Ziji walked along the road, avoiding the attention of others. He used the blowing technique in the corner and combined with the Five Senses Technique to explore the nearby environment. The breeze blew through all the surroundings. He actually discovered a secret passage on the stone wall of the room. He didn't say anything about it and just remembered the location.
You Ziji turned out of the corridor and bumped into a cat spirit.
This cat spirit has no human characteristics. I think it hasn't reached the foundation yet, but along the way, the guards around it are respectful to it. It was wearing a long gown, walking slowly and elegantly, and holding a gold coin in its hand. It was incompatible with the painting style of the guards here, and it looked like an unknown wealthy person.
You Ziji was currently thinking about how to contact the smuggler, but now he had no information at all. He was quite courageous. When he saw the monster in front of him, he guessed that it was a manager, so he stepped forward to ask.
"Master Cat, I want to sneak out of the city. I wonder which leader I need to find?"
The cat spirit glared, where did this idiot come from? How could he talk about this in a place like this, when there were people around him.
However, this cat spirit was originally a servant. He had become rich recently, so he always dressed, spoke and behaved like those rich men. This title of "cat master" still pleased him.
But don’t get carried away.
"Boy, go out of the city gate and go to the Yamen to register. We don't care about this here."
"However, if you don't understand anything, I can tell you, just call me Cat Boss." He led the way and introduced You Ziji into a stone room.
As soon as he entered the room, the cat boss patted You Ziji's butt, which was bulging.
"Not bad, he has become quite human-like, and his tail is well hidden."
"It depends on how you look. Clean up your appearance. It's okay to pretend to be a human being."
"Or if you practice training again, transform into another form and leave, why do you have to sneak across?"
It was clear that his realm was much lower than that of You Ziji, but his tone of voice was full of arrogance, as if even those at the Foundation Establishment realm were not in his eyes. That's true, those who ask for his help must be monsters below the foundation level, and masters of the Xuan Realm don't need to touch him.
When You Ziji saw him talking like this, he knew that what he was looking for was the monster in front of him.
"Boss Cat, you really know how to joke. If it were that easy, why would I be looking for you?"
"I am anxious to find a friend. He should have left the city this month. I want to know where he has gone and want to go out and look for him."
"He is a black dog who has not yet transformed. Only his eyebrows are yellow."
The cat boss thought for a while and nodded.
"This is indeed the case."
"But why did you confirm that he left the city instead of entering the wild forest?"
You Ziji answered truthfully: "I saw the record of its leaving the city in the Yamen's documents."
"Did you find the record of it in the Yamen? This is impossible. The monsters and prisoners we took out are already dead bodies in the official records. It is impossible to be recorded in the normal records of leaving the city."
You Ziji really saw the record. It was Wu Sikou's secret room, and it must be more detailed than the normal record. But at this time, he did not refute the boss cat. After all, it was most important to get the information first.
"You don't have to find such lame excuses. I won't care about any grudges between you, as long as you pay enough."
"By the way, this is it." The cat boss took out a contract from a pile of papers. On it was the dog paw print left by Xiao Gou. It must be the contract signed with the cat boss.
"The place he is going to should be Zi County, which is within Longzhou and is connected in all directions. It is the transportation hub in the north of Longzhou. It seems that it is probably not his final destination."
"Okay, after you pay your money, I will notify you to sign the contract after the number of people is gathered."
You Ziji was stunned, you don't even know my identity, how can you notify me?
The cat boss saw his doubts.
"You don't believe me? My master is the biggest shopkeeper in Da Mian Lake. He is a dual-profound realm and well-informed. As long as he is in Da Mian Lake, he will naturally find you. Don't even think about reporting him. You can't afford to offend him. Be careful. By then my life will be gone."
"One more thing. Although you have a good image, you are still very different from people. Your so-called friend looks like an ordinary puppy. It is the safest in the human world. You can also consider it. this way."
"Thank you."
Before You Ziji had time to pay, he suddenly heard a commotion outside and hurriedly went out with the cat boss. He saw the nearby guards running towards the direction of Xingyue Pool. You Ziji secretly thought something was wrong, so he did not follow him, but First, we came to the secret passage we discovered before and got in.
