The place where the boulder touches the cliff is not completely attached.
There is a crack just big enough for one person to pass through.
Lu Xueqi carefully walked inside along the crack.
Holding the Tianya Sword in his hand, it emits a faint blue light, illuminating the field of vision in front of him.
Qin Zhong saw Lu Xueqi walking towards the crack and quickly followed.
"Junior sister, be careful."
This strange environment is like a cave between the mountain walls.
Qin Chong was already a little worried about this kind of environment.
There is an infinite abyss of death hidden in the cave at the foot of Kongsang Mountain.
The black stone cave outside Xiaochi Town hides countless strange creatures and an active volcano.
The cave deep in the Golden Snake Valley hides another active volcano, as well as the remains of the ancient witch clan.
There aren't any weird things hidden in the caves of Liupo Mountain. There are a bunch of demon cults ambushing them inside.
God knows why things in this world like to be hidden in various caves.
This made Qin Zhong feel nervous when he saw the cave.
Lu Xueqi turned around and saw Qin Zhong's nervous expression.
He raised the Tianya Sword in his hand: "I know, senior brother."
There is a faint joy in my heart, and my senior brother is becoming more and more concerned about me now.
Keep walking towards the inside.
Qin Chong saw that Lu Xueqi had no intention of stopping.
He sighed helplessly and walked towards the cave.
The crack is only a few steps away.
The two of them passed through the cracks between the mountain walls with their front and rear feet, and walked into the dark cave that was blocked by huge rocks and had no sunlight.
To Qin Zhong's expectation, the cave was not as endless and deep as he imagined.
Looking at the cave in front of him, Qin Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay, this is just an ordinary cave."
Thinking of how worried he looked before coming in, Qin Chong felt funny.
"It's true. The more I practice, the more I go back. I'm scared when I see a cave."
The Tianya Sword emits light blue light, illuminating the surrounding environment.
The cave is not big, only about 20 meters long and wide. In addition, the entrance is hidden behind the boulder, so you can't see the whole picture from the outside. But after entering the cave, what is fully revealed in front of you is seven or eight meters long.
High hole.
This cave looks more like a stone chamber, of course, an enlarged version.
Looking at the thick layer of leaves spread on the ground, this should be the iron-eating beast's lair.
It's just an ordinary cave, why should it be covered up with rocks?
And the look in the iron-eating beast's eyes before it died.
There must be something hidden in this.
Qin Zhong thought and looked at this ordinary-looking cave.
Lu Xueqi held the Tianya Sword and looked around in the cave.
This cave can be seen at a glance. It is surrounded by stone walls and only the ground is covered with thick leaves.
If there is something hidden inside.
Qin Zhong observed the cave. The most likely thing was the ground covered by leaves.
Perhaps, what the iron-eating beast hid is under the leaves.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhong was ready to clear out all the leaves in the cave to see what was hidden underneath.
"Brother, listen."
Lu Xueqi's voice came from the front.
"What?"
Qin Zhong looked at Lu Xueqi: "Junior sister, did you find anything?"
He quickly walked to Lu Xueqi's side.
Lu Xueqi looked at the ground not far away.
The leaves in that place were obviously taller than the rest.
Judging from Lu Xueqi's appearance, there must be something going on somewhere.
Qin Zhong summoned the Sky Thunder Sword and prepared to lift up the leaves to see what was underneath.
Getting ready to take action.
The tall leaves on the ground suddenly moved.
"Ah, ah." came from below.
Some sharp sounds.
When Qin Zhong heard the voice, he instinctively blocked Lu Xueqi behind him.
There was a burst of light from the Tianya Sword, and it was about to stab at the sound.
At this moment, a small, black and white fleshy figure emerged from under the pile of leaves.
Seeing the fleshy figure, Qin Zhong almost didn't react and quickly stopped the Sky Thunder Sword.
"Hey, is this an iron-eating beast cub?"
Lu Xueqi's voice came from behind Qin Zhong.
"So cute."
Qin Zhong didn't wait for a reaction.
Lu Xueqi had already passed Qin Zhong and picked up the little guy.
The chubby little guy is smaller than a cat.
The whole body is black and white, especially the pair of dark circles under his eyes, which impressed Qin Zhong deeply.
The little guy who was picked up by Lu Xueqi has not yet reacted.
He was shouting "Ahhhhhh" in his mouth.
He stared blankly at the strange creature holding him.
There is also a thin bamboo leaf grasped on the front paw.
Lu Xueqi couldn't help but poke the little guy's head with her finger.
"Brother, can we take it back?"
Although he asked Qin Zhong, his eyes kept looking at the little guy who was a little uneasy in his hands.
Looking at Lu Xueqi with a smile on her face.
Qin Zhong smiled and said: "Okay."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Lu Xueqi said, unable to help but rub the little guy's head with her cheek.
Fluffy and very comfortable.
The little guy didn't realize what was happening yet.
Seeing the creature holding him nuzzling his face, he subconsciously dropped the bamboo leaf in his hand and pushed Lu Xueqi with his two small paws.
I want to push the guy holding me away.
Unfortunately, it is too small and not strong enough to push it at all.
Lu Xueqi saw the little bear put its two front paws on her face, and the fleshy paws felt very comfortable to touch.
The smile on his face is even brighter.
He turned to Qin Zhong and said, "Senior brother, you see it is so smart, it interacts with me."
After saying that, he leaned against the little bear again and rubbed his face hard on its paws.
Qin Zhong looked at the happy Lu Xueqi and was also very happy.
Just watching this little giant panda enjoy the treatment of being held in the palm of Lu Xueqi’s hands and having close contact with its face just after they met.
Somewhat heartbroken.
Even though I have worked hard for so long, I still don’t get this kind of treatment.
I'm so envious, I really want to kick the little guy away and take its place myself.
No, how could I have such thoughts?
No, no, I'm not that kind of person.
A manly man is actually envious of little pets!
How is this possible?
She turned around and didn't look at Lu Xueqi teasing the little guy.
There is nothing else in the entire cave.
Qin Chong remembered the look in the iron-eating beast's eyes before it died and understood the reason.
The little bear looked at the human holding him and fell into sorrow.
What is going on with this creature?
Why is it that the more I push, the more she tries to press against me?
It's so annoying. Go away quickly. I'm looking for my mother.
Don't stick it on me.
Oh, I'm so sad, I can't push it away at all.
There was no point calling her, the creature couldn't communicate.
Forget it, let's eat something and take it slow.
He no longer looked at the person holding him, and tried hard to move his round body, looking for food.
"Hey, where's the young bamboo leaf in your hand just now?"
"It seems to have fallen to the ground."
"Put me down quickly, I want to eat."
After the little guy stayed in Lu Xueqi's hands for a short while, he screamed again towards the ground.
And tried to jump down.
When Lu Xueqi saw the happy little guy who was interacting with her just now, she suddenly looked anxious and wanted to jump down.
Startled.
He quickly held the little guy in his arms and said to the little guy: "What's wrong with you?"
The little bear just barked and kept trying to turn over.
It was the first time Lu Xueqi encountered this situation and she couldn't understand it at all.
After communicating for a few times with no results, he looked at Qin Zhong.
"Brother, look what's wrong with it?"
Qin Zhong turned his head and watched the little bear staring at the bamboo leaves on the ground and kept barking.
"You must be hungry, right?"
As he spoke, he knelt down, picked up a young bamboo leaf from the ground, and handed it to the little bear Lu Xueqi was holding.
Sure enough, after taking the bamboo leaves, the little guy found a comfortable position to lie down on Lu Xueqi and started eating.
"It really is."
Lu Xueqi felt relieved.
"There's nothing here anymore, let's go back now."
"Um."
The main purpose of going out this time was to look for the severed horns of Kui Niu.
Already got it now.
I traveled in the southern part of the Central Plains for some time.
The original plan was to stop by and take a look at the less populated areas further south.
But now, Lu Xueqi decided to adopt this panda, which is still a cub.
If you travel around with it, you will inevitably encounter inconvenient situations.
Qin Zhong and Lu Xueqi discussed for a while and then prepared to return to Qingyun Sect first.
On the one hand, this little guy obviously likes to eat bamboo leaves.
Send them back to Xiaozhu Peak for a better life.
On the other hand, Qin Zhong now also needs a period of seclusion to master the Sky Thunder Sword and prepare for a breakthrough in cultivation.
After the two people left the cave, they returned to the place where the Iron-eating Beast died.
Since we were going to adopt the little one, it was naturally better to bury its mother.
After burying the iron-eating beast, the two of them took the little guy and set off back to Qingyun Gate.
"Brother, give it a name. You can't keep calling it a little guy."
The two of them were in the clouds, wielding swords and talking at the same time.
Qin Zhong looked at the little guy in Lu Xueqi's arms.
The little guy who was already chubby is now eating a bunch of tender bamboo leaves.
Feeling Qin Zhong's eyes on him, the little guy looked at Qin Zhong in confusion.
He stretched out his little paws and scratched his head, then grabbed a piece of bamboo leaf and handed it to Qin Zhong.
Qin Zhong's face darkened, who cares about your broken bamboo leaves!
Lu Xueqi also paid attention to the little guy's movements.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Senior brother, look at it, it's so cute and smart."
Qin Zhong said with a dark face: "Yeah."
From the corner of his eye, he passed by the little guy who was sitting comfortably in the position that he envied and hated.
"Just call it round and round."
"It looks like a ball. I think it will be round all its life."
"Senior brother, how can you say this about others? It's just that it's still young, so it looks a little rounder."
"Roll."
He glanced at the little guy in his arms.
"The name Gungun is quite good, it looks similar. Let's call it Gungun."
He said to Qin Zhong: "Senior brother, I'm going to make him roll from now on."
"Isn't it round? Why did it become round?"
Qin Zhong muttered.
Seeing Lu Xueqi's happy look, she still nodded and agreed.
The resentment towards the little one in Lu Xueqi's arms became even deeper.
"Little one, just enjoy it now, there will be a chance that it will fall into my hands!"
After flying for a day in the direction of Qingyun Gate, in the evening, the two found a small town and landed.
Looking at Yuan Gungun who was still in Lu Xueqi's arms.
Qin Zhong rolled his eyes.
She said to Lu Xueqi: "Junior sister, are you tired? Give Gungun to me and I will take care of you for a while."
Lu Xueqi looked at Qin Zhong who looked concerned next to her.
Smiled slightly.
"Senior brother also likes Gungun very much, which is great."
He said to Qin Zhong: "It's not tiring, senior brother, Gungun is so small, it's not heavy."
He touched his round and round head.
"Gungun loves to stay with me. Right, Gungun?"
Yuan Gungun was stunned when he saw Lu Xueqi looking at him with a smile on his face. Then he stopped eating bamboo leaves and rubbed Lu Xueqi's hand with his round head.
Lu Xueqi praised Yuan Gungun again: "Gun Gun is so cute."
Qin Zhong blinked.
Forget it, just pretend you didn't see it.
Yuan Gungun, I didn’t succeed in tricking you out today, that’s because junior sister just got your little pet, and it’s just the time she likes it.
Just wait, wait a few days, and you will never have the chance to get involved with Junior Sister.
You, a little kid, still want to fight me, but there is no way.
During the next few days on the road back to Qingyunmen.
Every time Qin Chong saw an opportunity, he tried to trick Yuan Gun into his hands and educate him well.
But I don't know if it's because Lu Xueqi really likes this little guy, or because Yuan Gungun has noticed Qin Zhong's evil intentions, or because Yun Gungun really feels that the position in Lu Xueqi's arms is good.
Yuan Gungun was not deceived once.
"Yun Gungun, I remember you, but you dare to go against someone like me Qin."
"Just wait. After returning to Qingyun Gate, I will make you look good and let you know why the flowers are so red!"
Little Yuangun stayed in Lu Xueqi's arms and happily ate her delicious bamboo leaves.
Suddenly I felt a chill in my body.
I stretched out my round head and looked around. There was no wind. Why was it so cold?
Could it be that he ate too little and was so hungry that he fell asleep?
No matter what, I pushed my body to a more comfortable and warm position, and ate the bamboo leaves harder.
Qin Chong saw the round movements from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but his eyes twitched.
"Okay, you are so chubby, you don't know what to say, you dare to provoke me!"
Lu Xueqi saw Qin Zhong's serious appearance on the surface, but still paid attention to Gun Gun.
I am also happy in my heart.
"Senior brother, it's just right. He has always cared about Gungun. When we get back, let him hug Gungun too. Senior brother will be very happy then, right?"
It didn't take long.
The two of them returned to Qingyun Gate.
I’ve been traveling for a while, and now I’m back and it’s time to retreat.
Above the sky, Qin Zhong watched Lu Xueqi enter Xiaozhu Peak, then turned around and flew towards Luoxia Peak.
It didn't take long before we returned to Luoxia Peak.
After returning to the mountain, I met my master, Taoist Tianyun.
After telling what happened at the foot of the mountain, he returned to his yard and began to retreat.
