After a long while, Xu Luo returned to the cave. His mind was restless and he had no intention of resting, so he simply practiced until dawn.
The next day it was slightly brighter, and Xu and Luo were on the road again.
The climate in the mountains is changeable, miasma is prevalent, and some places are not even exposed to sunlight.
If you are an outsider, you will see that almost every place looks the same, and even Lao He has taken the wrong path many times.
This speed can be imagined.
Fortunately, he had the green ox cart to defend against poisonous insects, rats, and ants. Later, Xu Luo simply lent Biluo Muxin to Lao He, and the two of them speeded up a lot.
Until it was almost evening, rows of black dots suddenly appeared in the sky ahead.
Although Lao He couldn't see so far, he shouted with joy after carefully observing his surroundings.
"Xiao Luo, this should be it! Fortunately, I'm not that old-fashioned, so I finally lived up to my expectations."
The cart moved forward for a while, and Lao He suddenly became cautious and found a hole in a dry tree and got into it.
Xu Luo spent his energy and blood to hide the green ox cart, got under a pile of vines, and then followed it into the tree hole.
Seeing his confused look, Lao He didn't give in.
"As we move forward, we enter the warning range of the mountain barbarians.
The old man’s life has been sold to Xiao Luo, but I wonder if you have any plans, Xiao Luo?
Should we just go in and find those black lotus seeds, or should we?"
Although Xu Luo is a cultivator, he will not underestimate anyone, not to mention Lao He's words from a mature age.
He thought for a moment and finally made a decision.
"Old He, if you can bring me here, you have already overfulfilled the transaction between us. Next, you don't need to take risks with me anymore..."
Lao He had an angry look on his face and was about to object.
Xu Luo knew his temper, so he waved his hand to stop his words and said sternly.
"Old He, listen to me!
What I'm looking for is something that all mages are trying to grab. Think about it, how dangerous it is?
What's more, in this kind of fighting, your old arms and legs will drag me down, do you understand?"
Lao He was stunned for a moment, all the anger faded from his eyes, and a look of shame appeared on his face.
Xu Luo knew that although these words were a little hurtful, they were the truth.
It would be strange if a natural and earthly treasure like black lotus seeds were not protected by vicious beasts and evil creatures.
Even if he doesn't, depending on his relationship with God, he has to arrange it no matter what, and it has to be a particularly cruel one!
It was not easy to persuade Lao He and let him wait here for his return.
If you haven't come back after three days, just go to the Exorcism Department and report a letter.
Xu Luo walked quickly through the forest on crutches.
The blue ox cart loomed with green light all over its body, covering up all traces and staying in place.
With Lao He's reminder, Xu Luo easily found the mountain barbarians hiding in the tree crowns and ferns.
These people are truly born jungle hunters. With just a simple disguise, they almost blend into the entire jungle.
It's a pity that when you encounter a freak like Xu Luo, his already sharp senses and spiritual knowledge, coupled with the blessing of Wu Sheng Bamboo, are simply like being in no one's land.
Xu Luo put his crutches behind his back and slid into the vines as if he had no bones, quietly avoiding all the whistles.
After running forward for several miles, the black dot that originally appeared in the field of vision finally revealed its true identity.
They are rows of tree houses made from local materials, borrowing various thick ancient branches to build a magical sky city above their heads.
The sky was getting dark, and the setting sun weakly squeezed out the last trace of its afterglow.
Xu Luo followed the vines hanging from the giant tree and climbed up to a tree house with the help of the shadow. There was no one in the room.
There were a few wild children outside, running happily and playing on the smooth branches.
The familiarity and skill at his feet amazed Xu Luodu.
But there was no time for him to delay now, so Xu Luo used his hands to move between the thick branches and the upside-down vines.
He wanted to find the residence of the great wizard of this ethnic group as soon as possible. If there were really black lotus seeds, they would most likely be in the hands of the great wizard.
As the night grew darker, accompanied by the earnest calls of women, the naughty children rushed back to their respective treehouses.
Barbarian slang and excited laughter formed cheerful music in the night.
Xu Luo stared closely at several children in more gorgeous clothes, and finally found where a group of people with higher status in this ethnic group lived.
Looking at the tree house on the largest and strongest tree, Xu Luo knew that he had found the right place.
This tree house is not the largest in size, but the roof woven with colorful bird feathers shows that the owner of the house has an extraordinary status.
Xu Luo didn't hesitate, turned over and rushed towards the wooden house.
When he stood up, he already had the crutches on his back in his hands.
With a muffled clicking sound, the door woven with wood and rattan was broken with a twist.
Xu Luo looked at the stunned three people inside and smiled slightly.
With a sweeping sweep, the two young and strong men were knocked unconscious to the ground before they even had time to groan.
The remaining withered old man opened his mouth to reveal his blackened teeth and shouted for help.
But the next moment, the hard wooden cane was pushed straight into his mouth simply and roughly.
The old man almost choked to death without taking this blow.
Before he could react, the devil-like young man was approaching like lightning.
A rusty hatchet was already pressed against his throat.
Want to die or live?
This universal language is spoken by almost every race. The old man hurriedly raised his hands to show no harm.
Xu Luo then took out his wooden crutch and looked at the old man with a half-smile.
The old man was wearing a leather jacket with an indiscernible color, and a bright feather crown on his head. His body was obviously very old, but his beard and hair were strangely green and pitch black.
Feeling the piercing murderous intent of the blade in his throat, the old man raised his hands wisely and did not dare to make any small movements.
Xu Luo felt a little overwhelmed at this time, and the ghost hatchet was a little disobedient at this time.
Even though the bamboo was in vain, he was pulling tightly from behind, and the hatchet was clearly trembling with fear, but he still stabbed the old man's throat unswervingly.
This is how the same thing?
Thinking of the characteristic of this broken sword being sure to hit, Xu Luo had an idea flash in his mind.
The bamboo root shook, and the extremely sharp blade passed between the old man's cheeks, and blood spattered out.
The hatchet swallowed up all the blood, and then the bamboo whiskers pulled it back with satisfaction.
After Xu Luo figured it out, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.
This means you will see blood when you draw a sword! If you don’t hurt the enemy, you will hurt yourself!
He lamented here that the old man was almost scared to death.
The moment the hatchet struck him, he really thought Xu Luo wanted to kill him.
It was Xu Luo's shamelessness that made such a mistake, but he was a little embarrassed.
He comforted him in a gentle voice: "Don't be alarmed, Great Wizard, cough, cough, I just missed the knife a little bit. I have some questions I want to ask. As long as I get a satisfactory answer, I will leave immediately!"
