Soon, the soldiers almost wiped away the spices in front of them and prepared to embark on the return journey with Xiao He. At this moment, a voice sounded in Xiao He's ears.
"Don't go, there's a little thing around here."
Hearing Suan Ni's reminder, Xiao He stopped.
"Director, what's wrong?" Dong Ge, who was standing aside, asked.
Xiao He did not reply to him and carefully observed his surroundings. Seeing Xiao He's serious expression, Dong Ge knew that he must have discovered something, and began to look at the surrounding environment. Just when he was about to take a few steps forward, Xiao He raised his hand to stop him. Then, without waiting for Dong Ge to ask again, Xiao He struck forward with a swift palm. This palm technique was still the Green Wood Palm that he created in the eastern part of the mainland. With his current level of cultivation, the power of this palm technique has increased several times.
A flash of blue light suddenly appeared, and a rock not far away exploded with a huge roar. Dust and sand flew up all over the sky for a while, and everyone could vaguely see a black shadow standing in the open space not far ahead. When the dust settled, everyone saw the figure clearly. It turned out to be a maroon-colored monster with the head of a dragon and the body of a horse. At the end of the monster, there was a flame that flickered on and off, with the word "Zhu Yin" in it. True to its name.
Before anyone could ask questions, Dong Ge exclaimed: "This is Zhu Yin!"
"What?" Xiao He asked smoothly.
"This is Zhuyin. It has always been known as the mountain god. It is one of the most feared monsters among scavengers. It is good at hiding in mountains and waiting for opportunities. No matter how skilled you are, it is not easy to find it."
"What state is this beast in?" Xiao He asked.
"The bottleneck of the Eighteenth Realm." Dong Ge said word by word. In fact, without him having to introduce it too much, several people present also understood that they had just experienced several battles, and facing such a monster, the odds of winning were naturally very low. Everyone's expressions were solemn again, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
However, this time, Dong Ge didn't seem particularly nervous. Instead, he looked at Zhu Yin opposite him with curious eyes.
"Why, are there any other discoveries?" A soldier on the side asked in a low voice, seeing Dong Ge's doubts.
Dong Ge thought for a while and said: "This Zhu Yin has always been murderous. It is strange that he has been lurking for so long without attacking us. Now that he is standing across from us, it is even more strange that he still has no intention of attacking. Moreover, the look in his eyes There seems to be a trace of fear in it, which is really puzzling.”
But at this time, Xiao He laughed, full of confidence. Walking leisurely towards Zhuyin.
"Director, it's dangerous!" A soldier warned loudly, saying that he was about to go with Xiao He. However, Dong Ge stopped him and said, "Just wait and see what happens! I believe that the Chief Secretary must be confident."
They were still talking, and Xiao He had already walked up to Zhu Yin. One person and one animal looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to be communicating something. However, the next scene left them stunned. This magical beast with the same dragon bloodline as Suanni actually became very well-behaved in front of Xiao He. Even when Xiao He raised his right hand, it would lower its head and let Xiao He stroke the top of his head.
Xiao He was smiling all over his face, and Zhu Yin's performance seemed to make him very satisfied. It turned around and walked towards the crowd, followed closely by Zhu Yin, walking side by side with him. Zhu Yin has a strong body, two heads taller than Xiao He, but his expression at this moment is like a docile big cat.
Everyone looked at the eighteen-level monster in front of them, following Xiao He step by step, and their jaws were almost dropped in shock.
"Let's go home!" Xiao He walked up to everyone and said with a smile, turned around and continued on his way.
"Let's go!" Dong Ge looked at the soldier beside him, patted his shoulder with his hand, and said with a smile.
"This is too amazing..." Several soldiers muttered quietly.
In fact, not long after Zhu Yin appeared, Dong Ge had already realized that with the existence of mythical beasts like Suan Ni, ordinary magical beasts were no longer a threat to Xiao He.
In this way, Xiao He, the chief of the tribe, got a very powerful mount. However, this time, Xiao He did not ride the Zhuyin Beast and return with a full load with great fanfare. After all, he lost his troops for the first time when he led the team. No matter what the reason, he felt very guilty.
Xiao He led Dong Ge and five
The soldiers turned back to the tribe. This time the march was much faster. After a short rest in the forest, they returned to the tribe in less than two days.
When everyone returned, Sang Yan went out to greet them personally. Seeing Sang Yan, Xiao He felt very friendly, and the fatigue and guilt in his heart were instantly relieved. Sang Yan looked at Xiao He, he knew that Xiao He's journey must have been extremely difficult and dangerous, and he was very moved when he saw him coming back after a long journey.
The two men looked at each other and smiled, and a lot of comfort was evident in the mingling of eyes. Before Xiao He could speak, Sang Yan patted Xiao He on the shoulder and said, "Just come back! Just come back."
"Junior is very ashamed." Xiao He still spoke.
"The two little brothers of the Kong family have briefly introduced the situation of this trip. Everyone admires you very much. Besides, you have completed the task well. The clan leader is full of praise for you in front of everyone. Let's go see the clan leader first. He Waiting for you!" Sang Yan said sincerely.
"Thank you, Brother Sang Yan!" Xiao He said movedly. Then he turned to look at Dong Ge and nodded lightly. Dong Ge immediately understood and said, "I will lead everyone to take a brief rest, and then go to meet Kong Ge and others to hurry up and build the crossbows of the gods."
So, Xiao He and Sang Yan went to meet the clan leader.
The clan leader's wooden house was built on a very thick ancient tree. When he entered the house, the clan leader still had a cheerful face and was amiable, which was different from all the high-ranking and powerful figures Xiao He had seen before. The wooden house was not big, so the clan leader led him and Sang Yan to sit down around a bamboo tea table and poured tea for them personally.
During this period, the clan leader and Xiao He only briefly understood the situation of the trip, and showed great concern for Xiao He's injury. However, the clan leader did not blame him at all for the loss of troops, which made Xiao He very happy. However, the clan leader still reminded him that this trip had forged a deep feud with Wuyang City. Regarding the deaths of these people, Ao Lin would not give up. The clan leader still made arrangements for possible dangers.
The clan leader arranged for Xiao He to stay and train troops. Xiao He wanted to refuse, but the clan leader's eyes were full of trust and determination, so he had to accept. Then, the clan leader said to Sang Yan: "Now all we need for war preparations are medicines. You will lead the team yourself, assisted by Qingtang, and Dong Ge will accompany you. You must prepare all the medicines."
"No problem!" Sang Yan responded confidently.
It was already late at night when we came out of the patriarch's tree house. The crescent moon was like a hook, casting its shadow all over the place. Under the gentle night breeze, Xiao He felt much at ease. Looking at Sang Yan aside, he asked, "Brother Sang Yan, who is the Qingtang that the patriarch mentioned just now?"
Hearing this, Sang Yan showed an intriguing smile and said, "He is also an aborigine, and he is also the best doctor here."
"No wonder I asked her to accompany me. I will ask my uncle to introduce her to me tomorrow. If there is a chance, she will also let me learn some medical skills." Xiao He said. This sentence, Xiao He really spoke from the bottom of his heart. A long time ago, he and Zuokong met the floating ghost by chance. That time, Zuikong almost died, which deeply stimulated Xiao He. Later, when he met Senior Drunken Monster, Xiao He wanted to seriously study medical skills. However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, he never found an opportunity to study in depth with Senior Drunken Monster.
"Haha!" Sang Yan suddenly smiled when he heard what Xiao He said and said, "She has another identity. She is the daughter of the clan leader."
"Oh!" Xiao He responded blankly, but he didn't know why Sang Yan was laughing.
"If you mention this to the clan leader in the future, he will definitely agree to your request!" Sang Yan said without a trace, then disappeared into the night in a few flashes, leaving only Xiao He where he was.
Without further ado, Xiao He had to hurry back to his residence. Tonight, he had something to ask Suan Ni.
When Xiao He returned to his room, the first thing he did was to tell Suan Ni about the scene of the old monk fighting with the real dragon in his dream. Suan Ni did not hide anything, telling Xiao He that the old monk was the real owner of the wine gourd, but this person Suan Ni still refused to speak about his true identity.
However, Suan Ni still said to him: "Xiao He, your wine gourd is indeed not a human thing. Your dream this time further illustrates the opportunity between you and this wine gourd. One day, your strength will reach a sufficient level and you will naturally be able to compete with it." Of course, it will be an extremely long time for him to meet."
Xiao He smiled faintly, but in fact he already had a big heart
I guess Suanni would give such an answer. Although he still didn't know the real owner of the wine gourd, he was encouraged by having a goal in his mind. What's more, now, there are so many questions in front of him that he needs to find answers to, and there are so many difficulties and obstacles waiting for him to solve one by one. With such a mythical beast always by his side, what else can he be dissatisfied with? ..
Suan Ni seemed to read his thoughts and said directly: "I'm leaving tonight."
"What?" Xiao He was confused and asked immediately.
Suanni continued: "I can't tell you the reason why I left. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you, but my child is temporarily borrowing to live in your wine gourd. The unique energy here is suitable for the cultivation of mythical beasts. After all, he also has It belongs to his mission, so I hope it can lie dormant here until adulthood, and I can’t take him with me until it has enough strength.”
"Is there anyone who can threaten the divine beast?" Xiao He asked subconsciously.
"I said, this matter has nothing to do with you. I only need you to agree to my child sleeping here. Of course, if something happens that threatens your life, it will help you solve it. There are no extreme circumstances. Please Don't disturb it." Suanni said, with the coldness and majesty of a mythical beast in his tone.
Xiao He thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, I promise you, the world will always be green, and I hope we can meet again somewhere else in the future."
"It will definitely happen. It will be a different scene then!" After Suan Ni finished speaking, its figure gradually faded away. Xiao He could clearly feel that this powerful energy disappeared into his wine gourd. Guilty. Not far from him, there was a small beast lying on the ground, looking at it timidly.
"Your name is Xiao He?" Xiao Suanni suddenly asked.
Xiao He couldn't help but smile and sighed in his heart: A mythical beast is a mythical beast, and he can understand human language at a young age.
"I'm Xiao He, what about you? What's your name?" Xiao He said gently.
The little beast frowned, as if he didn't like Xiao He talking to it like a child, but he still replied: "I don't have a name."
"Can I get one for you?" Xiao He said with a smile.
"Tell me about it." Xiao Suanni said, shaking his little head.
Xiao He thought for a while and said: "Suanni likes places filled with smoke, just like swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, but it's hard to show dominance by calling it "Yun", so why not call it "Zhe Tian"?
"Not satisfactory, not satisfactory." Xiao Suanni said, "But that's it, it's just a code name."
Xiao He sighed in his heart again: The divine beast is the divine beast! However, Xiao He did not say these words, but said: "As your mother arranged, you can cultivate here. Unless there are special circumstances, I will not disturb you again."
"Wait, Xiao He." Xiao Suani said.
"Why, is there anything else?" Xiao He asked.
Little Suanni said, "Help me roast some meat, okay?"
Xiao He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Of course he understood that this had nothing to do with the cultivation of divine beasts, it was just to satisfy his taste buds. Without saying much, he quietly went out and walked deep into the dense forest...
