Facing Chi Li's questioning, Su Xing only glanced at him and said calmly:
"If you are dissatisfied, you can run away on your own."
"you......!"
Taoist Catfish secretly glanced at Su Xing's expression and quickly smoothed things over:
"Master Longnu, Master Su must have his own plans. You see, there are not many dangers along the way. Instead, I am full of food."
After saying that, he patted his round belly under his gray robe.
"Hmph! Who asked you to interrupt? I've been eating it all along the way! Stinky catfish! Pig heads!" The misty voice in the ear not only did not quiet down, but became more excited, as if he had accumulated a lot of resentment towards Taoist Catfish along the way.
This catfish Taoist was also a bit of a jerk. He kept apologizing with a smile on his face, but in fact his eyes were a bit disapproving.
"Tell me about what happened along the way."
When Su Xing asked, Taoist Catfish's expression changed again. He thought for a few moments before speaking respectfully.
After getting along with him for a while, it became clear to him that compared to this dragon species who was far away in the form of a dragon, the person in front of him was the one who was clinging to his own lifeline.
After Taoist Catfish finished roughly explaining what happened along the way, Su Xing nodded.
Letting the two demons walk alone on the waterway not only makes their actions more stealthy and faster, but also has the intention of throwing them away as bait at the critical moment.
Taoist Catfish had already noticed this, so he initially decided to let him take the water route, but he had some vague objections.
On the other hand, this red carp, who is known as the reincarnation of the Dragon Girl, seems to have a very simple mind. I just discovered this now.
"From today on, we will act together." After thinking about it for a few breaths, he waited for a while, but did not feel any new movement in the river. Su Xingcai called Lin Xixi out of the forest and announced his decision.
Lin Xixi naturally had no objection and squatted next to the fish basket, still curious about this mysterious red carp as when she first saw it.
Taoist Catfish showed a bit of joy. Although Chang Anjiao, who was secretly on guard during this period, did not appear, occasionally some fish in the water were frightened by the dragon species' aura and chased them.
Even though most of it went into his stomach, he still felt a little worried.
"Hmph!" The fish basket snorted, and two splashes of water shot out from the fish's tail, which seemed to have some temper.
Fortunately, he didn't say much, which made Taoist Catfish feel relieved.
Su Xing saw the reactions of several people in his eyes. His mind was as strong as iron, so naturally he would not change his mind just because of the dragon's temper.
It's just that Chang Anjiao seems to have given up on hunting them.
When several people left Heqing County, Su Xing did find the figure of the Chang An Cult monk in secret. He even fought against two of them, but they retreated at the first touch, leaving nothing behind.
From that day on, Su Xing never saw any trace of Chang Anjiao. I met Taoist Catfish several times at the appointed place and saw that he looked normal and was not injured. Su Xingbian also knew that the other party seemed to have given up chasing even the main target "dragon species".
Even if the camp was deliberately faked to create the illusion that a few people met, there was no bait.
They continued to act separately, but they were still cautious in their hearts.
And now they are acting together again, naturally because...
The few people who simply packed up their things spent half a time crossing the dense forest and climbing over a hill. Fresh water vapor mixed with a faint fishy smell floated into their noses.
Standing on the top of the mountain, what comes into view is a spacious plain with a river flowing on it.
The calm flow of the river seemed nothing strange. But looking west, I can't find the source. Looking eastward, you can't see the end of the stream.
The entire world seems to be divided into three large parts. There is a piece of clear sky and a piece of turbid earth. What is left is this mighty long river that takes up one third of the sky and the earth.
It is as wide as the sea and its length cannot be measured.
Pinjiang!
There may be controversy among mortals as to whether it is the longest river in Dayu. After all, there is another Lishui River in the north.
But in terms of overall width, Dayu is the undisputed number one!
Su Xing and the two walked along the river before, and they had a blinding feeling of "being in this mountain". At this time, looking down at Pinjiang from a high distance, one has a shocking feeling of "knowing the true face of Pinjiang".
Putting away the shock in his heart, he looked along the river, and could faintly see red flags dancing in the forest, spreading to the horizon.
At the end of the horizon, there is a vague giant beast with cold eyes. If you look closely, you will see that it is a giant city that is entirely blue-grey, reflecting the icy cold light under the scorching sun, making the world seem a bit colder.
With Su Xing's eyesight, he could even vaguely see a dragon-headed giant standing at the top of the city. His eyes were as if they were alive, and he seemed to be staring at a few people coldly. It was like he was staring at the flowing river beneath him, as if something was about to break through the water.
It was the Pinjiang Dragon Statue that Su Xing and Lin Xixi had visited before.
Now that they have reached the sphere of influence of Pinjiang City, the safety of these people is greatly guaranteed.
"Hoo! Pinjiang! Pinjiang!" At this time, a somewhat illusory voice sounded, and a piece of water vapor in front of him suddenly condensed into a vague and slim figure, with clothes and belts fluttering, and his face could not be seen clearly, and his eyes could only be vaguely discerned.
This is the body shape transformed by the red carp, full of ethereal feeling.
But at this time, the urgency and expectation in his tone broke his own mystery. The figure in the air first waved his finger around Pingjiang, as if touching his own waters.
Then he looked at the red flags on both sides of the river, his misty eyes brightened slightly, his tone suddenly rose a bit, and he couldn't hide his excitement and shouted:
"It's the Red Dragon Altar! Yes, that's right! The memories that gradually revived did not lie to me. I am the Dragon Girl! The evidence is the Red Dragon Altar under construction! They...my people are preparing Welcome my return!"
Her tone gradually became lower, as if she was reciting some ancient oath.
"Red Dragon Altar?" "Subjects?"
Lin Xixi and Taoist Catfish seemed to be frightened by the drastic change in Long Nu's expression, and whispered in surprise.
"Yes." The mist in the sky slowly turned its head to look at a few people. Some of them were either confused or keenly felt the changes in her body.
This red carp, who claims to be a dragon, likes to emphasize his identity. In the past period of getting along with each other, there was more of a sense of innocence that was incompatible with the identity he claimed, a sense of being unworldly.
At this moment, she seemed to have returned from reincarnation or somewhere, and a vicissitudes of ancient aura filled her body. The swaying mist condensed into snake-like pupils in his eyes, staring at several people indifferently like prey.
Taoist Catfish, who is a demon clan, almost fell to his knees. His initial doubts about the identity of the dragon girl turned into a huge fear of being targeted by natural enemies.
"Dragon...Dragon Girl..." He uttered two words while sweating profusely, but felt that the air was holding his throat tightly. He could only wait for his fate in fear and silence like a fish about to be slaughtered.
It wasn't until he heard the calm voice behind him that he felt that time began to flow, and this process seemed like a century had passed.
He only heard Su Xing say:
"Dragon Girl? Then it's time to deliver the three hundred miles of river promised to me, right?"
