Chapter 308 Something Happened at the Hot Spring
Chapter 308 Something Happened at the Hot Spring
After Cui Shi fainted from anger, Huang Guxuan also dug himself out of Ling Xiao's feathers.
At this time, Ling Xiao had already calmed down most of his mood and began to sort out what had just happened.
"You ran away without saying a word and left me behind. Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"
At the beginning, they came out of Zhenjiao Gate and stayed in an inn. However, that night, Hong Xiao accidentally entered a ruin in order to give a surprise to a thief who wanted to attack another thief like him. The next day, Huang Guxuan, led by Chi Xing, also entered the ruins. Only Ling Xiao, disguised as a wooden sign, was left in the inn.
After coming out of the ruins, the two stayed in the "Yuanliu" branch for a while and completely forgot that there was a bird missing until they were about to continue their journey home.
"Uh, this..." Huang Guxuan glanced in other directions guiltily.
Can I say it's because I was reminded?
Ling Xiao didn't seem to care about the answer to this question. Seeing Huang Guxuan's strange expression, he changed the question: "The thing you just slapped on my head...Have you seen Lord Shenhe?"
"Yeah." Huang Guxuan nodded.
As early as the first time he met Xiao, Huang Guxuan reached a contract with Lingxiao - Lingxiao followed Xiao and served as a mobile anchor point to facilitate the positioning of the specific coordinates of space crossing and protect Xiao when necessary, and Huang Guxuan agreed to help save Lingxiao's real master, Shenhe.
In order to compete with the gods for people, or to be more precise, for important strategic resources, even Huang Guxuan, who was feared by the gods, had to make long-term plans. This plan took several years, and many major events happened in the meantime, so many that he even forgot about the existence of such a contract until recently.
Just as Xiao was acting recklessly, Red Xiao could only passively accept it because he was too weak. Looking at Green Xiao who was letting another version of him do whatever he wanted, he started muttering "black fox" to himself.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning, as if in response to Hong Xiao's resentment, struck the head of "Black Fox" Huang Guxuan.
This is actually a warning from the contract.
The power of the heavenly thunder was so terrifying that it nailed him directly into the center of the earth.
Even if one looked at all the god-level warriors, Huang Guxuan was considered a leader, but he still suffered serious injuries from this heavenly thunder.
In order to prevent himself from being struck by lightning again, he healed his wounds and immediately went to the place where the divine crane was imprisoned.
The city left by God, Huanhong City.
The Huanhong City is able to assemble top-level puppets like Lingxiao on its own, and in the small secret realm contained in it, the Qingshan World, it can produce a treasure called "Danbei". The entire city-state is maintained and operated by the power of the divine crane.
Pill embryos are divided into grades just like elixirs, and pill embryos can change into elixirs of corresponding grades according to the holder's thoughts.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
Originally, all gods belonged to heaven. Huanhong City had the Beast God in charge, and with the home advantage, no one in the fairy world or the mortal world could covet this city-state that was shot down from the main world until the gods returned.
Faced with the huge gap in combat power and means, Huanhong City has become the back garden of the gods, continuously producing precious puppets and treasures.
Even though the gods only dare to send some fools to harass Huang Guxuan, this is because Huang Guxuan has not harmed their interests. If he wants Huanhong City to regain its independence, I am afraid that the encirclement and suppression many years ago will be staged again. The difference is that those who did not want to get involved and chose to let it go before will most likely take it seriously by then.
Huang Guxuan was very clear about this, so he just went to check out the area and find out the situation.
During this time, he found the divine crane and accepted the commission to save Ling Xiao from it.
It was only then that he knew Ling Xiao's location.
Huang Guxuan briefly told Ling Xiao what had happened recently.
"Master Shenhe actually cares about me so much..." Ling Xiao murmured in a low voice, and suddenly he looked at Huang Guxuan excitedly, "What are your plans next? Are you going to rescue Master Shenhe?"
Huang Guxuan shook his head: "Only one beast god can't handle so many gods. Before that, I have to find a reliable backer for you."
"What are your plans?"
"Lets see."
……
In Baihe City, Xiao, who was supposed to be isolated in the military camp, now appeared on the street.
As for the military camp...there is indeed a "Xiao" in isolation at this time.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. When Xiao knew that he would be quarantined for several days, he immediately thought of a trick to get rid of Ye Lingchuan's eyes.
The erosion of the messenger is very similar to karma, or the residue of the devil.
Not to mention that the green goblin in his mind is a professional at fighting against "karma". Before he slipped away, he asked the guard outside the isolation room about the isolation time. The other party said that if it was corroded, mutations would occur in a week at most. This made him sure that he was fine.
Not to mention that there were only first-level emissaries in the important anchor points. Earlier, he had even had close contact with second-level and third-level emissaries, and he didn't feel any discomfort until now.
He returned to the city mainly to find the branch of "Yuanliu" here.
On the mountain, he picked up a strange thing from under a hot spring. According to the monster, it was placed there by the second-level envoy himself. His intuition told him that this thing must be very important.
He was worried about letting someone else pass it on, so he asked the guard outside about the location of the "Yuanliu" branch and prepared to visit it in person.
But Xiao was not familiar with Baihe City, and he urgently needed a map to match the landmarks mentioned by the guards to their locations one by one.
Compared to before Xiao went up the mountain, the city was much quieter at this moment. Many houses had their doors and windows closed, and the streets and alleys were sparsely populated, even in the market area.
In the past, the market was crowded with people, and the stalls on both sides of the street were full of goods. But now there are only a handful of stalls left, and a sparse flow of people pass by the stalls, and only occasionally someone will stop in front of a stall.
Confusion and worry were on everyone's face, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
Hmm? Did something bad happen in the city during the time I was in the mountains?
For no reason, Xiao thought of the streets of Licheng after being besieged by the tide of beasts.
He stopped several passers-by and wanted to ask them about the source of this atmosphere, but most people just shook their heads, muttered "The mountain god no longer protects us", and quickened their pace to leave, as if they were avoiding something.
Finally, an elderly woman said to him, "Well, you'll know if you go to the hot springs."
"Something happened in the hot spring?"
Xiao knew that the people here regarded the hot springs as a gift from the mountain god. No wonder those who had been asked before mentioned the "mountain god".
The old woman didn't explain, so Xiao had to go and check it out himself.
What could possibly happen to a hot spring?
cold?
Withered?
Or is there bleeding?
There are many shops along the market road, and unlike the stalls on both sides of the road, most of them are still open for business.
Soon, Xiao bought the map he needed.
According to the original plan, he should go to find the "Yuanliu" branch, but now there is something more curious that attracts his attention.
With all kinds of speculations about the hot springs, he rushed towards the nearest hot spring.
When Xiao arrived near the hot spring, he heard a very noisy sound, just like a school cafeteria at mealtime. All the noises merged into a "buzzing" sound, and he couldn't hear any of the words.
Xiao listened carefully for a while and found that the sound came from the hot spring in front.
The gate of the soup yard was closed and many fully armed soldiers were stationed outside.
Xiao felt that the situation inside was a little bad. He pretended to be a curious boy passing by and walked forward to ask what was happening inside.
"Go, go, go, what are you curious about? Go back to your home!"
A soldier came up and started scolding fiercely. He waved the weapon in his hand, as if to scare Xiao away.
Xiao did not intend to have a conflict with them, nor did he plan to rush in rashly.
He turned around and left, but did not really leave. Instead, he avoided the soldiers' sight and climbed up a taller building nearby.
This hot spring place is open-air. If you find a high place, with Xiao's eyesight, you can clearly see what's going on inside.
When Xiao saw the scene in the soup kitchen, he was stunned.
