Accompanying the messy footsteps were noisy discussions.
But when they came to the entrance of the pipeline, everyone was silent.
Is the problem that has been a headache for a long time but has made no progress solved just like this?
What happened?
"How is this going?"
"It was blocked inexplicably, and then it was opened inexplicably?"
The others took it seriously and looked confused.
However, the problem was finally solved.
As for how to solve it, since I can’t figure it out now, let’s put it aside for now.
Anyway, the whole thing was a mystery to them, and they had never figured out the situation.
…
"Xiaoxiao?"
"The water is clearing." Xiao Xiao said to Yu Yanyan and Uncle Gu who came forward. His face was full of confusion and innocence, as if he didn't understand why the water was clearing suddenly.
"Haha, you are really a lucky star. You will be hydrated as soon as you come in."
Uncle Gu patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder, his brows relaxed, and the gloom disappeared.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Xiao Xiao's heartbeat accelerated for a moment.
...
Uncle Gu and the others still carefully inspected the pipeline and found that there was no problem like the previous inspections.
Even though they were helpless, there was nothing they could do about it.
Anyway, the problem is solved.
"However, it's exactly like what you said just now. It's like there was a sudden problem with this pipeline, and then it suddenly recovered."
"It's really confusing."
Uncle Gu was quite emotional.
…
The pipe problem was finally solved, and Uncle Gu and the others could go home safely.
Originally, Uncle Gu wanted to invite Xiao Xiao to his home, but Xiao Xiao politely declined and said he would pay a formal visit next time.
This time it was too hasty and nothing was prepared.
Uncle Gu did not force it, and he was not in a hurry to be a guest. Anyway, Xiao Xiao was welcome to visit their home at any time.
…
After saying goodbye to Uncle Gu and Sister Yanyan, Xiao Xiao watched their figures disappear before turning around and leaving.
He didn't go home.
The Gu Eagle kept flying above Xiao Xiao's head, and a huge shadow followed him like a shadow.
The monster caught in the claws of the Gu Eagle drooped its head, and its twisted hair like seaweed was blown by the strong wind, and it became like a mess of grass, very post-modernist style.
The monster was sluggish and looked resigned.
It no longer struggled or screamed. Instead, it stared curiously at Xiao Xiao below through its hair that was dancing in the wind.
...
When it was first caught by this big monster, it felt as if a large basin of cold water was pouring down its head, which made its heart feel cold.
Even though it struggled desperately, how could it, which was already weak, be able to shake the reinforced iron claw?
After some futile efforts, it finally gave up helplessly.
However, when it finally calmed down, it discovered that the big monster didn't seem to have any intention of eating it?
Just holding it like this, as if following the human below?
Turning around and looking around, it discovered such an incredible situation.
what happened?
Why does this big demon follow this human being?
Is it to catch the two monsters on this human's shoulders and head?
There are so many monsters around a human?!
This human... It was only at this moment that it began to seriously look at the human below. It stared at it, but was surprised to find that it could not sense this human's heart?!
Is it because it is too weak now?
The meager demonic power left is not enough to support it in sensing human hearts?
It doesn't understand, but can only make such a guess.
However, it's strange, this human being is very strange.
The aura of this human being is different from that of all other humans it has encountered.
It seems purer and smells better.
It reminded it of the morning on the river where it once lived. The cold air blended into the cool water vapor. The cool water vapor filled the cold air. The transparent smell exuded a hint of mint-like coolness and aroma.
It has a sweet taste that seems to be nothing.
It always breathes this kind of air, watching the golden light gradually emerge on the river, sparkling. Looking up, a huge red sun comes into view, and everything is covered with a layer of smoke.
With the soft light of the mist, a new day begins.
However, it will never see mornings like this again.
Its home is gone.
…
Xiao Xiao came to a secluded corner.
"Gu carving."
"Jie Jie~"
Gu Diao understood the situation, slowly landed, and loosened his grip on a certain monster.
A certain monster seemed completely unaware of this, completely unaware that it had escaped from its "devil's claws".
At this time, it is free.
Although the Gu Eagle is watching eagerly from the side.
…
The unknown monster lay motionless on the ground.
Seaweed-like green is scattered on the ground.
There didn't seem to be any movement in the small body.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and stepped forward slowly.
"Who are you?"
A clear voice sounded in this quiet corner.
A certain monster lying motionless on the ground seemed to move.
Is this human talking to it?
But, aren’t humans unable to see it?
Although it still didn't raise its head, it couldn't help but pricked up its ears and listened carefully to every move of this human being.
I once again tried desperately to sense this human being's heart, but still failed.
…
"Why did you block the pipe opening?"
Hearing this question, a certain monster became extremely angry. It jumped up and said, "Hooho~hoho~"
A certain monster looked excited, had a shrill voice, and even danced with its hands and feet.
Xiao Xiao looked at a certain monster that stood up and only reached his waist, jumping like a beetle in front of his eyes, and felt inexplicably want to laugh.
However, "Ahem~" is too rude.
The monster in front of him seemed to be dissatisfied with the question he just asked, but it was obviously a normal question.
Wasn't it blocked at the pipe mouth just now?
…
With a certain monster's large movements, its hair spread out, revealing its true face in Lushan.
This is... He Bo?!
He Bo is only about the height of a four-year-old child, and his skin is a mossy green with large and small folds.
She has green hair that is as messy and twisted as seaweed, and is a little darker than her skin.
There is also a turtle-like carapace on its back, which is green and turns black.
There are also wrinkles on his face, giving him an old look.
His eyes were wide with anger, and the beard on his chin was sticking up.
…
Xiao Xiao was just about to tell the frothing monster in front of him that he didn't understand the monster's words, but his ears, no, maybe his heart, suddenly caught the meaning of the other person's words.
"...it's not what I wanted, that strange tube sucked me in!"
"I want to break free, but because my demonic power is too much depleted, I am unable to resist."
"Fortunately, the old man was smart and turned sideways, so he didn't get sucked in."
"But if you don't go in, you can't get out. I tried to get out of that state countless times, but because I was too weak, I never succeeded."
"What's even more outrageous is that the suction force in that tube always becomes very strong!"
