Seeing that Gu Yuan didn't say anything else, Li Heizi assumed that Gu Yuan agreed, and he stretched out his hand and shook his finger.
Gu Yuan looked in the direction of Li Heizi's finger and saw a very steep rocky mountain slope not far away. There was a small cave entrance on the slope, and there was a small open space covered with weeds in front of the cave.
"Senior Brother Gu, look, Baron is hiding in the cave opposite. It's still early, let's take a rest here first, and we'll go there when it's almost time."
"Is there only one entrance to the cave?"
"There should be only one entrance to the cave. We have blocked Balon here for several days. If there were other entrances to the cave, he would have escaped long ago."
…
It was already dark, and when I looked up, I could already vaguely see the hazy moon in the sky, but there was still some time before midnight.
In the woods not far from the cave, Li Heizi's people set up a bonfire to bake food, which served as a camp.
Because it was still early and everyone couldn't stay any longer, they all walked around the camp.
Gu Yuan had nothing to do, so he planned to go to the creek in the woods to fill the water hyacinth with water.
Before he could reach the stream, he saw that Li Heizi and Kong Zhanwu had already arrived at the stream and were filling water hyacinths with water. The two of them were still chatting.
Gu Yuan's relationship with Li Heizi was not good before. When he saw Li Heizi fetching water in front of him, Gu Yuan instinctively stood behind the big tree.
I wanted to wait for the two of them to get water and leave before coming out, but I accidentally overheard their conversation.
"Brother Song, do you think they can do their best to help us this time?"
“I can help, but it’s hard to say whether I can do my best.
After all, we are all from the same school, and now that we are away from home, who hasn’t encountered difficulties yet?"
"If they don't help us, and we tell this matter when we return to the sect, the reputations of the three of them will be ruined."
"Well, it was a coincidence this time. We happened to meet Little Eagle and the others, otherwise it would be really difficult for us."
"You said that Gu Yuan had some shitty luck and succeeded in building the foundation. I feel so awkward."
"Brother Song, what's wrong with you?
If he doesn't build a foundation, we still won't be able to defeat Balon."
"Oh, don't mention it, I have issues with him, but fortunately he is already a disciple of the inner sect.
I guess we won’t see each other very much in the future, and at worst I’ll avoid him from now on.”
"Honestly, Brother Song, if this guy named Gu doesn't come to our Eagle Guard, the flag captain will definitely be yours.
But, Brother Song, it doesn't really matter. When Gu Yuan leaves, won't this little flag be yours again?
It’s just a few days late.”
Li Song was silent for a while without speaking, but looked at the water hyacinth in his hand in a daze.
Kong Zhanwu paused and then said: "Brother Song, this little eagle's cultivation level is almost the same as yours. He is not as good as Gu Yuangao. Why do you have to be so respectful to him?"
Li Song said helplessly: “What do you know?
Do you know who he is?"
Before Kong Zhanwu had time to speak, Li Song suddenly shouted.
"Hey! Someone is eavesdropping, who is it?
come out!"
Gu Yuan could only awkwardly walk out from behind the big tree and said speechlessly, "As promised in advance, I was just passing by and I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."
But when Gu Yuan walked out from behind the big tree, he realized that Li Heizi's words were not meant for him.
Besides him, there was also a young man walking out from behind the big tree.
The young man did not look at Li Song, but looked at Gu Yuan walking out from behind the big tree with great surprise. He quickly said loudly: "Gu Yuan, long time no see, why are you here?"
"Who are you?"
Gu Yuan was a little confused. He had already forgotten about this young man, but he felt slightly familiar.
"I am Zuo Zhan, don't you remember me?
Before, outside the mountain gate of our True Fire Hall..." Zuo Zhan smiled and winked without saying anything clearly, and made gestures with his hands.
Gu Yuan thought about it carefully and immediately remembered that Zuo Zhan was the young man who had set up a ring to block the door of the True Fire Hall and was beaten away by him. He vaguely remembered that the young man called himself Zuo Zhan.
I didn't expect to meet Zuo Zhan here. Could it be that this young man followed him all the way and came to compete with him?
"Oh, it's you. I remember you said you would go back and practice hard and come back to challenge me. How is your practice going?
It’s better to choose a day than to hit it, let’s do it today!”
Zuo Zhan waved his hand, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."
Gu Yuan asked doubtfully: "Then why are you here?
I thought you came to see me specially."
"How did I know you were here?
I was bored at home, so I sneaked out again.
Your True Fire Hall is not close to here, so why are you here?"
"We have accepted the mission and are going to Mingyue Villa to deliver a birthday gift to Mr. Zuo. We are passing by here to capture a fugitive."
"ah?
You want to go to my house, so I won’t go out to play. Let’s go, we just go back together, and I will entertain you well and do my best to be a landlord..."
…
Li Song didn't notice Gu Yuan originally, but because of Gu Yuan's explanation and conversation with the young man, Li Song turned around and saw Gu Yuan's presence.
Li Song's face turned red and white for a moment, but he didn't expect that Gu Yuan had listened to all the conversation he had just had with Kong Zhanwu.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan and the two ignored Li Song during the conversation, but Li Song and Kong Zhanwu were extremely embarrassed standing nearby.
Li Song waited for a while, thinking that he still needed Gu Yuan's help, and his tone softened a lot, "Senior Brother Gu..." Before Li Song could finish speaking, a shout suddenly came from the direction of the camp: "Stop, don't run.
!”
"Brother Song, come back quickly, this kid has broken through!"
Several people looked at each other. Oh no! Baron broke through early!
Zuo Zhan saw the expressions of several people and guessed that they were in trouble, so he immediately asked: "What?
Are you in trouble?
Do you need help?"
"unnecessary."
"need!"
Gu Yuan and Li Song said in unison, but their words had two completely different meanings.
Gu Yuan frowned and glanced at Li Song. Catching fugitives was Li Song's task. Zuo Zhan was just passing by. What's more, Zuo Zhan was not a disciple of Zhenhuo Hall. How could Li Song ask an outsider to help?
Little Eagle and Li Cheng were still at the camp. Gu Yuan didn't have time to say anything and hurried towards the camp.
"Brother Song, let's go quickly, that kid is not easy to deal with."
"Don't panic. That Balon holds a magic weapon that can shoot fine needles made of cow hair. Whoever rushes forward first will suffer disaster. There are many of us, and he won't be able to escape for a while. Let's wait and see what happens."
"Well, Brother Song, let's turn to the left. Maybe we can catch him off guard."
The two of them looked at each other and calmly followed Gu Yuan in a circle to the left.
