The mountain wind howled in the cold night, and he walked quickly on the newly budding spring grass, and dewdrops splashed among the fallen grass buds. Xu Qing looked around with his clairvoyant eyes while running, but what disappointed him was that there was no
No trace of the Mastiff was found.
There are many mountains in Kunlun. The foot of the majestic mountain is covered with darkness, but the mountainside is covered with snow. It seems that the entire mountain is divided into two distinct black and white sections. People cannot walk too fast in the mountains, otherwise it will easily trigger an avalanche. Xu Qing completely
There is no need to worry about this happening, because he walked over the mountains and ridges like flying, but no footprints were visible when he stepped on the snow. He truly made no trace of his steps on the snow.
Whoosh - two plump snow chickens were startled by Xu Qing's passing figure, and hurriedly flapped their wings and rushed down the mountain. These big birds have wings but cannot fly, they can only run and glide, and their meat is quite delicious.
Xu Qing's body turned suddenly, his arms stretched out like lightning, and he easily caught the two snow chickens in his hands. He didn't even have to drink rice from yesterday, so these two snow chickens were just enough to fill his stomach.
According to the mark on the map, we are less than a hundred miles away from Sunset Peak. It takes less than half an hour to drive there at full speed. The problem is that it is useless to go there now. We have to wait until the sun sets tomorrow to determine the specific location of Tianchi. Maybe we will have a meeting with the Goddess Messenger tomorrow.
In a life-and-death fight, we should first find a place to worship at the Five Zang Temple.
Xu Qing plucked the feathers and guts of the two snow chickens and cleaned them up with snow. A few of them jumped to the foot of the mountain, gathered some dry firewood, found a leeward place and lit a bonfire, and tied the two snow chickens up with branches.
While he was roasting on the fire, he sat aside in a daze holding the Long Yuan Sword.
Tomorrow, after calling Huang Pulan with the Pisces Pendant, he will most likely have a fierce battle with the messenger of the Goddess. It is still unclear who will win. Xu Qing has experienced various fights and can be considered a battle veteran. He is not afraid of fighting with the Goddess.
When the Mother Messenger was fighting, he would definitely fight with all his strength as long as Huang Pulan was safe, but for some reason he had a very bad feeling in his heart. It was not fear or lack of courage, the Mother Messenger seemed to be very close to him, so close.
Enough to steal the Pisces pendant and the living jade twig from his bedroom.
"Messenger of the Goddess, who are you? Maybe I can see your true face tomorrow..." Xu Qing murmured to himself with a broad sword in his hand, while the roast chicken on the bonfire was squeaking and dripping with oil.
The grease exploded in the fire and made a slight sizzling sound.
Phew! A sudden sound of wind came from the back of his head, interrupting Xu Qing's contemplation. Without thinking, he swung the broad sword with its scabbard and swept it across. An unparalleled force swept out like a strong wind. The next second,
There was an explosion in his ears, and the palm holding the sword hilt suddenly shook.
"Boy, if I want to eat a roast chicken, do I need to draw my sword?" A familiar voice came from behind. Xu Qing's tense face slowly stretched, and he picked up a branch with a roast chicken and flipped it a few times.
He got off, turned his head and glanced at the Mastiff standing behind him, and said in a low voice: "Senior, please come over and sit down. It will be baked in ten minutes. I will catch some wild animals for you to enjoy."
The Mastiff strode to the bonfire with its head raised, its eyes never leaving the two oily roast chickens. It had been following Xu Qing secretly. It was not planning to show up so soon, but the smell of the roast chicken was too tempting.
, it had to show up in advance in order to have a bite of fragrant meat.
Xu Qing stood up and patted the firewood ashes on his body, with a faint smile on his face and said: "Senior, I know you have something to ask, and I will definitely tell you everything later. Now go get some food first, so that you can
Have fun eating." After saying that, he put the broad sword on his shoulder and jumped into the distance.
The Mastiff was not polite, squatting by the campfire and waiting for the roast chicken to be cooked. It is an animal that likes to eat cooked food. Looking at the two half-cooked roast chickens, it wanted to put them into its stomach right away.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Xu Qing returned with a bunch of washed and skinned snow chickens, and a washed and skinned blue sheep on his shoulders. At this speed, he would definitely be able to compete with the hunters for jobs.
Xu Qing walked to the bonfire and found in vain that the two roast chickens had disappeared, leaving only two greasy branches lying on the ground. Without saying anything, he immediately put the blue sheep on the fire and added some
He got some dry firewood to light up the fire, then tied up the snow chicken and set it up next to the campfire. He also took out a few handfuls of grass roots and tree leaves from his pocket and stuffed them into the belly of the prey. Soon, the flames jumped and the squeaking sound started again.
The Mastiff whispered: "The two chickens were already roasted, so I ate them. I was going to save one at first, but the roasted chicken was so fragrant that I couldn't stop eating one, so I left the other one.
Even if you eat one, you can still bake it anyway."
Xu Qing smiled nonchalantly and said: "The roast chicken is originally for you to eat. Just now on the mountain, I swept away the chickens and picked up a whole nest of chickens. On the way back, I bumped into a blue sheep and took it with me.
You can also add a few kilograms of food."
The Mastiff laughed and said: "Okay, this blue sheep probably weighs a hundred pounds, and we can have a full meal. Tell me, why did you come to Kunlun Mountain all night?"
Xu Qing flipped the roasted lamb twice and said in a low voice: "Since the senior asked, I will tell you everything. I hope you can help me keep the secret..." After talking about what happened after Huang Pulan was captured, he detailed
Having said it once, there is no need to hide anything in front of the Mastiff. Whether it wants to help or not is entirely up to it.
After listening to Xu Qing's story, the Mastiff understood what had happened. He lay on the ground in silence for a while and then whispered: "I have been to Tianchi before. The water there is warm and the scenery is not bad."
Xu Qing sighed and said: "I didn't go to hot springs or watch the scenery. My biggest wish is to be able to exchange the Pisces Pendant for Xiaolan smoothly. I have to ask my seniors to help me with this matter."
The Mastiff yawned and said, "Tell me, how are you going to ask me to help you?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "After replacing Xiaolan with the Pisces Pendant, I would like to ask my senior to send her to a relatively safe place. As for you, after sending her away, you can choose to come to Tianchi to watch the battle, or you can choose to leave."
The Mastiff said: "After seeing you off, I will come to Tianchi to watch the battle. I will definitely help you if necessary, but you have to fill my stomach first."
Xu Qing cupped his fists and gave the Mastiff a hand and said, "Thank you, senior. I feel much more at ease now that you are helping me."
Gudong! The Mastiff looked at the oily roast chicken and swallowed, and finally couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "Is this chicken edible?"
Xu Qing smiled and said: "It's almost done, just ten more minutes to wait." The skin of the roast chicken on the bonfire was browned, exuding an attractive aroma. It seemed that the vanilla and fragrant leaves picked on the road were working.
The night was burning in the bonfire, with one person and one mastiff feasting beside the fire. Unfortunately, there was no wine, and I couldn't experience the refreshing mood of having wine now and being drunk the next...
