Volume 1 Chapter 140 The Situation in the Imperial City(1/2)
"In that case, let's take the first step."
Seeing the smell of gunpowder between Gu Xiao and Dong Hongchang, Zeng Ruoling immediately said this and pulled Dong Hongchang away, heading straight towards the depths of Neptune Island.
After the two left, others also started to leave one after another. Yue Buhuo, Chen Keyan and Shen Suhua all looked at Gu Xiao with different meanings before leaving.
Facing the gazes of several people, Gu Xiao could only pretend not to notice, and stood still, motionless. It was not until the people left that he smiled bitterly.
After sighing slightly, Gu Xiao put aside the negative emotions in his mind and communicated with Di Kui.
"Digui, what did you find?"
"Master, this Neptune Island doesn't look big on the surface, but there is a huge and complex space underground, and these passages always feel like formations to me."
Di Kui's words made Gu Xiao's eyes light up and he looked happy.
The reason why Gu Xiao looked happy was because his original purpose of coming to Neptune Island was not to go to some secret realm of glazed light, but to find the place where Lan Feng's body was sealed.
The Dikui discovered that the complex structures underground looked like formations, which meant that he had come to the right place.
But now that Lan Feng has fallen into a deep sleep, everything is just speculation, but at least it is certain that even if this place is not a real sealed place, it is definitely related to the sealed place.
"Digui, continue your investigation and don't let go of any clues."
"clear."
Di Kui agreed, but there was no movement, and Gu Xiao straightened his face and prepared to go deep into Neptune Island.
But just when he was about to take steps, Gu Xiao caught a glimpse of a petite figure.
Um?
Gu Xiao's expression changed, and he quickly turned his head and saw clearly the dirty clothes and cautious face of this petite figure.
Isn't this the boy who suddenly disappeared after stealing the money bags of those people before? How could he appear here?!
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, remembering the scene where he was wronged by the young man before, he stepped forward and rushed towards the young man.
During this period of time, there were not many people left on the beach. Gu Xiao's rapid movement immediately aroused the young man's alertness.
When the young man turned around and saw Gu Xiao, his eyes widened, a look of panic appeared on his face, and he disappeared in a flash.
The young man suddenly disappeared, which made Gu Xiao stunned. When he found the young man's figure, he saw that the young man was already rushing into the dense forest.
What a fast speed!
Gu Xiao was startled as he remembered the day when the boy disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Digui, can you lock this young man's aura!"
"Master, don't worry! As long as he doesn't go into the sea, he will never be able to escape my lock!"
Hearing Di Kui's assurance, Gu Xiao felt at ease and took a picture of the magic talisman at his feet.
At this time, the young man had entered the dense forest. When he noticed the speed of Gu Xiao's surge, his expression changed again, and he dove into the low grass, trying to use his body advantage to throw Gu Xiao away.
But the young man didn't know that his aura had been locked by Di Kui, and he couldn't escape Gu Xiao's pursuit. Instead, because he dodges left and right, Gu Xiao, who had been tracking in a straight line, got closer and closer.
At this time, no matter how stupid the young man was, he understood that he was locked. His face suddenly turned bitter, and his body suddenly stopped.
Seeing the young man suddenly paused, Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows and landed in front of the young man. He curled up the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't run away?!"
Hearing the teasing in Gu Xiao's tone, the young man pursed his lips, hummed softly, and turned his head to the side.
This was like a child's angry performance, which made Gu Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But in that chase just now, if it weren't for Di Kui's lock, he would have lost the young man long ago, which made Gu Xiao become very curious about the young man.
"May I have your name?"
Upon hearing Gu Xiao's question, the young man glanced at Gu Xiao, then hummed again and turned his head to the other side.
this……
Gu Xiao laughed again, then coughed slightly, his face turned cold, and he took out the Kyushu Sword with a shake of his hand.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and when he saw Gu Xiao's cold face, he finally panicked and said quickly: "My name is Lanlan!"
Blue?!
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then frowned, showing doubts. Just when he was about to speak, he found that the young man in front of him had no Adam's apple, but his face showed surprise.
"Ha! It turns out to be a little girl."
"You are the little girl, and your whole family is the little girl!"
As soon as Gu Xiao finished speaking, Lanlan's hair suddenly exploded, her little tiger teeth bared, and she glared at Gu Xiao with a "vicious" look on her face.
But just after losing his temper, he immediately reacted and his face became panicked again.
Seeing Lan Lan's funny reaction, Gu Xiao suddenly thought of joking and cleared his throat: "Little girl, where is the money you stole earlier?! Give it to me quickly."
Gu Xiao's words made Lanlan stunned, even a little confused, then she frowned and said: "That's my money, why should I give it to you!"
"Why?" Gu Xiao chuckled and said with a serious face: "What? Now that I am capable, I don't listen to my elder brother anymore?!"
Big...brother?
Lanlan's little mouth opened, completely stunned.
But soon, she saw the smile on Gu Xiao's lips, and she immediately understood that she had been tricked by Gu Xiao.
"You bully me!"
…
The smile on Gu Xiao's lips froze, and when he saw Lan Lan's angry and aggrieved expression, his face twitched.
"Little girl, you are really..."
For a moment, Gu Xiao didn't know what to say.
But soon, Gu Xiao noticed a hint of cunningness in Lan Lan's eyes, and then saw Lan Lan throw an object on the ground, and a burst of thick smoke erupted.
Caught off guard, Gu Xiao accidentally inhaled the smoke and felt dizzy.
Fortunately, driven by instinct, Gu Xiao used his spiritual power to dispel the dizziness. At the same time, he held his breath and waved a strong wind to blow away the smoke and dust.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, Lanlan's figure was still there.
This girl...
Gu Xiao laughed again, but did not start to chase him. Anyway, the boss was targeting him, so he was not afraid of him running away.
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he heard a surprised voice from Di Kui.
"Master, this girl actually sneaked into the underground, and she seems to be very familiar with the underground structure. She is so fast that I almost lost her!"
Gu Xiao was startled by Di Kui's words. He didn't think much about it. His eyes focused and his body merged directly into the earth.
A moment later, Gu Xiao found himself in a corridor without any light. Although he couldn't see, fortunately, his perception was still there.
Under the instructions of Di Kuishi, Gu Xiao chased Lan Lan in the direction where he fled.
After chasing for a while, Gu Xiao was also shocked by the intricate terrain. If it weren't for Di Kui's instructions, no matter how strong his senses were, he would have been lost by now.
While surprised, Gu Xiao also became more curious about Lan Lan's identity.
Could it be that this girl is from Neptune Island?!
Such a complex underground structure was so familiar to Lanlan that Gu Xiao couldn't help but have such an idea.
Maybe if you follow this girl, you will find the place where Senior Lan Feng's body is sealed...
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows and moved forward a little faster.
In order not to disturb Lan Lan, Gu Xiao deliberately controlled the distance between him and Lan Lan. It was not until Lan Lan stopped in a simple stone room that Gu Xiao revealed his true form.
Gu Xiao's sudden appearance really startled Lanlan. After a scream, she pointed at Gu Xiao with a panicked expression: "You...you..."
Lanlan asked you for a long time, but didn't say a word, which made Gu Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.
But Gu Xiao did not speak. Instead, he looked around and found that although the stone room was simple, it was fully equipped with beds, tables, tables, and even pots and pans. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Little girl, is this stone room your 'boudoir'?"
Gu Xiao spoke, Lan Lan was shocked, and then she recovered from the shock of Gu Xiao's appearance.
"This is just an ordinary stone room, not a boudoir! Also, why are you here?!"
Are you more concerned about the "boudoir" than my appearance?
Gu Xiao didn't know how many times he had been amused by Lan Lan's words, but he saw Lan Lan staring at him cautiously.
Under this caution, there was more panic, fear, and even anxiety. Gu Xiao had no intention of continuing to tease Lan Lan.
"Little girl, don't worry! I am following you not to do anything to you, but to ask you a question. If you answer me honestly, I will leave immediately."
"real?!"
Lanlan asked subconsciously, her face lit up with joy, but then she felt something was wrong, and her joy turned back to caution.
"If you want to ask anything, just ask directly. I will definitely tell you what I know, and it must be the truth. But let me tell you first, you can't lie!"
Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows, nodded noncommittally, and then fell into deep thought.
To be continued...
