When he returned to the top of the mountain, Li Qingyun threw the unconscious Xiao Qian under the thatched shed. Here, the heavy rain could not kill him, let alone wash him away. He tied him with ropes several times and temporarily treated him as a prisoner.
Anyway, this person doesn't know his true secret, and he wakes up in time, so he is a target that can be won over. As for whether he can survive in the future, it depends on his performance.
When Li Qingyun went out, Gong Feiyu, Taoist Master Kumu, and Master Mingxin didn't notice at all. When he came back with Xiao Qian, they seemed to be aware of it, but the sound of heavy rain covered it up too much, and there was no one there. Get up.
At dawn, the raindrops were a little lighter. Gong Feiyu woke up first, opened the tent and took a look, and saw Xiao Qian.
"Ha, why is there an extra person after sleeping? He looks strangely familiar. Isn't this Senior Xiao who chose the middle road to go south? Why is he sleeping outside alone and wrapping a few ropes around himself to avoid being washed away by the flood? Is that so?" Gong Feiyu's mind was wide open. He didn't know whether he was joking on purpose or trying to figure out the reason for the other party's appearance.
Xiao Qian woke up long ago, but he did not dare to move or break away from these ordinary ropes, because he did not know that this was not Li Qingyun's test for him. When he woke up, he knew that Li Qingyun did not kill him, which meant that The hope of survival is very high, so struggling, resisting and escaping is the most unwise behavior.
＄“My little friends from the Gong family, I just got lost. I don’t know what happened, so I ended up here. I saw your tent sign and guessed it was you, so I took shelter from the rain under the tent and waited for you to wake up. Plan." Xiao Qian's face was full of vicissitudes of life, he wiped the rain off his face, smiled bitterly and made up a reason for his appearance.
"Xiao Daxia is really good at being able to deflect from the middle road to the east road." Gong Feiyu gave him a thumbs up, then pretended to be confused, took out the toiletries, and started working.
"What's wrong with being a hero? Don't make fun of me, little friend of the Gong family. It's raining so heavily and I'm a road idiot. I probably won't be able to return to the original team. I won't be able to save myself and my family for the next twenty days or so." You guys are dealing with each other. You can call me Lao Xiao or Brother Xiao." Xiao Qian kept his posture very low, as if he were a prisoner. When he said this, he even glanced at Li Qingyun's tent because he had already heard the movement. , everyone should be awake.
Li Qingyun came out of the tent, stretched out, and shouted as if he was very surprised: "Huh? Isn't this Mr. Xiao? You are in the middle road, why are you joining our east road team?"
Xiao Qian had a dark look on his face. He was really hypocritical. Didn't he get caught by you? But on the surface, he didn't dare to say nonsense. He smiled awkwardly and said: "I got lost. I don't know what happened, so I ran here. See There is a small shed to protect me from the rain, so I can take shelter from the rain temporarily."
"Oh, so that's it... But what happened to the rope on your body?" Li Qingyun stared at Xiao Qian with a smile, watching his reaction.
This middle-aged man with an unkempt beard was so angry that he almost cursed his mother. Can we not be so shameless? You knocked me out and brought me to this place. The rope on my body was not tied by you. Even the devil would not believe it. If If you didn't tie it up, you wouldn't dare to use your inner strength to stretch it open.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Xiao Qian had to hold back his temper and replied in a sullen voice: "I was afraid that I would be washed away by the flood when I fell asleep, so I tied myself to a pillar to sleep more soundly."
"Well, it seems to make sense." Li Qingyun smiled. He looked like a teachable brat. He really wanted to kill him last night, but after thinking about it, he couldn't do it too badly. The Chai family would just kill him, and they didn't have any hatred for some. Jianghu people who are innocent can be more tolerant.
Xiao Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This hidden demon king is really too dangerous. You must not make him anxious, because he will kill people and silence them. Later, after thinking about it carefully, even if he was not exhausted last night, he would , and couldn't avoid Li Qingyun's unpredictable and gentle grasp.
Because of this, Xiao Qian became humble and obeyed Li Qingyun without any sign of resistance.
When Taoist Master Kumu and Master Mingxin came out of the tent, they had already heard the conversation between Li Qingyun and Xiao Qian, but the two female monks looked at each other and saw a hint of shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
This Xiao Qian can be regarded as a well-known casual cultivator in the world. He was originally invited by Song Fei. He should be performing tasks on the middle road now. Why did he appear on the east road this night? And he is very afraid of Li Qingyun. He will do whatever he says. , dare not say a word at all.
Everyone just ate some canned food for breakfast, and Li Qingyun didn't bother to light the fire again. Although it stopped raining for the time being, the firewood around was dripping wet, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't start the fire. If he took the firewood from a small space, it would arouse suspicion. .
After the meal, the tents were packed up and everyone continued on their way. Li Qingyun didn't know Tao Datan's real plan, but he felt that splitting up would have no effect. Trying to clean up the mutated beasts in the mountains with just three teams was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Unpleasant.
No large mutant beasts were encountered. In the past few days, only ten mutant poisonous snakes were killed, and a dozen bright red centipedes were caught under the wet rocks. The poisonous snake Li Qingyun had eaten enough and did not make any more snake soup, but I was not polite to these big centipedes. I tried to get some dry firewood to start a fire. After scalding them with boiling water several times, I peeled the shells and fried them. The smell was so fragrant that even the two female monks wanted to try it. But in the end they couldn't stand centipedes. With a terrifying look on his face, he didn't dare to bite, and Li Qingyun, Gong Feiyu, and Xiao Qian rushed to eat them all.
After eating all the food, Xiao Qian looked at Li Qingyun's backpack with a strange expression. It seemed to be a treasure bag, with everything in it. Cooking oil, pans, seasonings, refined salt... whatever you want to use, you can get it.
Xiao Qian's eyes widened, but Gong Feiyu and others had long been used to it.
The rain in Sichuan and Sichuan is always difficult to clear up, and it is hot and stuffy in the mountains. It was not until four or five days later that the sky began to clear up. Seeing the sun peeking out from the clouds, Li Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it continues to rain like this, everyone will There's mold all over my body.
Through the satellite phone, Li Qingyun learned that the situation of the three teams was similar. Except for encountering a few ordinary wild wolves, wild boars and the like, mutant beasts did not appear. Only Chai Zijing in the middle complained to Tao Datan, saying that his team Two people were missing in the house. He suspected that they had been assassinated and strongly requested the Special Operations Department to intervene in the investigation.
Tao Datan was silent for a long time, only saying that the mountain road was complicated and that he might have lost his way for a while, and comforted Chai Zijing not to worry. Everyone knew the focus point, and maybe the missing Chai Long and Xiao Qian could be found at the focus point.
When Li Qingyun heard about this incident during his routine report to Tao Datan, he just laughed and didn't even disclose Xiao Qian's whereabouts. He only said that Director Tao was very far-sighted and that it was indeed easy to get lost in the mountains. When he arrived at the gathering point, he would lose his way. People will definitely show up.
This tone was so weird that it aroused Tao Datan's suspicion for a long time. Finally, after discussing with Shangguan Zhengyi, his suspicion became even more serious. Why were there two missing people? Maybe Chai Long and Xiao Qian went to kill Li Qingyun, but for some reason, they were killed instead. Kill Li Qingyun.
Tao Datan secretly had a headache. Is it easy to recruit these dozen masters in the name of the Special Management Office? Chai Long and Xiao Qian are both second-level masters. There are only one or two hundred second-level masters in the world, and even one of them will die. It was a big loss... But these two people didn't know whether to live or die, and they went to assassinate Li Qingyun. This mysterious young man, whose grandfather was Li Chunqiu in the third realm, how could he be easily provoked?
According to the satellite map, on the sixth day, Li Qingyun had already seen the peak of the gathering point. On the top of the mountain, several colorful flags were hung, and the outline of a temporary camp could be vaguely seen. Tao Datan said that there were several practitioners left in this camp. and ordinary Secret Service personnel.
We can reach the gathering point tomorrow, so before the sun goes down, Li Qingyun chooses a campsite so that everyone can eat and rest early so that they can have energy to reach the gathering point on the top of the mountain tomorrow.
As the weather cleared up, some small animals became active again. Without Li Qingyun's words, Gong Feiyu had already shot two pheasants, Xiao Qian caught a hare, and everyone's dinner was settled. Fortunately, the two female monks were not afraid of meat, otherwise It’s really hard to handle.
I found some mushrooms and wild onions and stewed a pot of chicken soup. Another pheasant and hare were all roasted and eaten. The fragrance drifted far away with the wind, and actually caused a lot of wolf howls. The wolf howls were very close, as if they were right there. In the surrounding dense forest.
Xiao Qian was experienced. He frowned and looked around and said: "It may not be peaceful tonight. There are at least twenty wolves. If they are ordinary wolves, they can handle it. If they are mutant wolves, then we are really in danger."
Gong Feiyu, who is ignorant and fearless, shouted excitedly: "Haha, you came just in time. I haven't encountered a decent mutated beast in the mountains for a few days. I have been anxious for a long time. Come out quickly and let me see it." How strong are the mutated beasts?"
Li Qingyun shook his head helplessly. He just wanted to find an area where poisonous snakes gathered, and if he could harvest one or two Sunstones, it would be a worthwhile trip. Ordinary mutated beasts are really meaningless. Are they just mutations caused by the radiation of Sunstones? Think about it. To research, find a sun stone and throw it into the zoo. There will be endless mutant beasts to study every day.
This is a hill, higher than the valley and lower than the ordinary mountain peaks. There are dense forests around it. The forest consists of miscellaneous trees, walnut trees, oak trees, bin trees, wild jujube trees...different heights, making it appear more eerie and chaotic. .
The hill where they camped was surrounded by no dangers and was surrounded by enemies. It was suitable for camping, but not suitable for fighting.
If no one else is present, Li Qingyun definitely doesn't have to worry. Once the small space is opened, any number of mutated beasts can be taken in. Now that there are people present, the greatest ability is exposed, which is the powerful power of the soul, using spiritual power to turn into a giant hand and beat it to death. A few leading beasts may be able to resolve the crisis.
Due to the threat of wild beasts, everyone ate the rich dinner in silence. Li Qingyun took out a bottle of old wine from his backpack, and the three men drank it separately. Although the old space wine was very fragrant, the two female cultivators were aged Now that they are young, they don’t dare to drink. They still care about their reputation and are afraid of causing chaos after drinking. (To be continued...)
