Chapter 1006 News
"Let's go here." Miss Tao, who was nestled on the trunk, pressed her waist and stood up instantly. She pushed aside a weed near the big tree, and suddenly, the path hidden behind the weeds was displayed in front of everyone.
"Hundreds of cycles." Zhang Junyun raised his eyebrows, but he had no doubts. He was the first to walk over. However, when he was passing by Miss Tao, he rolled his eyes at her lazily, as if he was still feeling unsatisfied, "This is really..."
"...It's familiar with the road." Miss Tao smiled lightly and completed the second half of Zhang Junyun's words.
Zhang Junyun grinned. He always felt that Miss Tao was a little strange, because what she said really made Zhang Junyun unable to believe that he was trapped in a time loop and had already been circulated hundreds of times? How could this be possible?
But being able to travel through the world is already supernatural enough. Even if Zhang Junyun doesn't believe it, his reason is constantly telling him not to deny it blindly.
Sure enough, even this guy knew what he wanted to say next.
But wait...
Zhang Junyun suddenly reacted, looked at Miss Tao with a flash of eyes and asked, "Didn't you say... he has disturbed the time circling? Why do you still know what I want to say?"
"Because I always have to tell you the truth." Miss Tao shrugged, "You should have said this before coming to this forest, but now it has only been delayed a little."
"I just guessed casually, and said... your mind is really easy to guess, oh, by the way, in the original timeline, after you said this, you died in the next battle and were blown into pieces."
Zhang Junyun glared at Miss Tao in anger. She spoke Mandarin more skilled than Zhang Junyun. If she didn't look at her appearance, she wouldn't be able to hear that she would be European.
For a long time, creatures will always practice various skills to the top.
But for some reason, Zhang Junyun just felt that he didn't like her, as if he was born to resist.
Miss Tao innocently spread her hands towards Yi Xiao, and then turned around and stepped on the path that led to the depths of the forest.
The deep path is hidden and peaceful, as if it leads directly to the depths of people's souls. Zhang Junyun and others stepped on it with some anxiety. If it weren't for the low sound of birds and insects around them, they would almost think they were walking in a vacuum.
But even the sound of birds and insects seemed particularly strange. They were everywhere, hiding among the long weeds on both sides. But when Yi Xiao looked at them, they fled to another place like a piece of wheat that had been cut in an instant.
It's like playing hide and seek.
"Strange place..."
I already know that this road leads to the shrine, so there are so many strange things that Yi Xiao is not surprised. The world itself is already weird enough, even so weird that it is chaotic.
But suddenly, Yi Xiao's eyes narrowed, he turned his head slightly, and looked in a certain direction deep in the weeds.
"What are you looking at?" asked Miss Tao, who had been following him. Upon hearing this, Zhang Junyun in front also stopped him.
"Nothing." Yi Xiao shook his head, then pulled away the weeds and walked over quickly.
Some people's weeds are half a waist high, and even if they are separated with force, it is a bit difficult to walk inside. Fortunately, Yi Xiao did not go too deep into the inside. After only a few steps, he stopped.
With the puzzled eyes of Zhang Junyun and Tanqing, Yi Xiao leaned down, and then his figure was instantly covered by the lengthy weed clusters.
Just as they looked at each other in confusion, a shrill scream that seemed to penetrate the soul came out from the weeds covering Yi Xiao, "Squeak--!"
The harsh scream pierced through the eardrums, and Zhang Junyun and others' minds were in a daze for a moment, but they quickly reacted again and their faces changed.
"Brother An! You haven't..."
The place where the sound came from was where Yi Xiao was covered up. It was hard not to associate the two. Although I did not doubt that there was anything in this world that could quietly threaten Yi Xiao, Zhang Junyun was still a little worried.
He anxiously planned to go over and take a look, but before he could leave the path, Yi Xiao's figure appeared in front of several people again.
"It's OK," he stood up from behind the weeds and said to them, "just discovered something interesting."
He reached out and snatched it down, and then he slowly dragged it out as if he had pulled something out.
After Yi Xiao completely broke free from the weeds and returned to the narrow path again, several people could see clearly what he was holding in his hand.
"What's this to do..." Zhang Junyun grinned his teeth, with a strange expression.
"Mandela Grass." Yi Xiao threw the human-shaped root-shaped plant in his hand to the ground with a snap, clapping his hands indifferently and said, "A little gift from an old friend."
Zhang Junyun looked at the Mandela grass thrown to the ground by Yi Xiao and raised his eyebrows. This thing was indeed somewhat similar to the legendary creature he remembered, very similar to the body of a baby and a wrinkled little human face. If it weren't for the sudden coming from before, almost scattering their souls and the appearance of the tree roots, he would have thought this thing was ginseng fruit.
However, this poor little guy was obviously taken by Yi Xiao all the way, and his eyes circled around and almost turned into star eyes.
"Is it okay..." Zhang Junyun didn't say anything, but Tanqing took a step forward and looked at this strange little guy pitifully.
That's because the Mandela grass didn't know what was wrong, and its appearance began to change, and gradually turned into a radish-like awl-shaped, thick-top and thin-bottomed. It also became much smoother. There were a few large green leaves growing on its head that were longer than its body, which was much more cute than before.
If its appearance was still the wrinkled baby-like humanoid appearance before, I believe even if it was a tent, I wouldn't have any favors.
"Okay?" Yi Xiao said insincerely when he heard Tanqing's concern, "How could it be good? This thing is destined to be not good since the end of his life."
After Yi Xiao killed the police without hesitation without pity, the detective, who was a little disagreeing with him, immediately glared at him. Zhang Junyun twitched the corners of his mouth, and prepared helplessly to put out the fire for the two of them at any time.
Tanqing glared at Yi Xiao, as if he was going to tell Yi Xiao's inhumanity with his eyes, but Yi Xiao turned a blind eye to this gaze and said to himself, "This is the Mandela grass that was born. It has survived for a very short time. Even if no one finds it, he will die within a few days."
"It has no mind and spirit of its own, and its soul, and its only function is to convey orders to the king of Mandela."
"Manderra's King..." Zhang Junyun's expression was very entangled, "You mean it is..."
"That's right, Miss Mandela Tree should be the strongest person in the current position of the magic creature Mandela Grass clan, and is considered their king."
"...Miss!?" Zhang Junyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and immediately put aside the strange name of magic creatures and the ability of Mandela to evolve, and looked at Yi Xiao with his eyes glowing.
Tanqing immediately turned his gaze that could kill people to Zhang Junyun and stared at him fiercely, but unfortunately, Zhang Junyun didn't notice it for a while.
"Her temper is pretty good." Yi Xiao shrugged, "It is also a rare existence among magical creatures with very complete wisdom, and her IQ is even higher than that of humans."
"Miss Mandela is currently in my territory. Are you interested in meeting her?"
"Recruiting... the earth?" Zhang Junyun's expression became even more entangled. He remembered Yi Xiao said that the world he went to was the Song of Ice and Fire, but is there something like Mandela there, "The World of Ice and Fire?"
"No..." Yi Xiao shrugged, "In another place, if you are really interested, I need to remind you that Miss Mandela is more friendly, but her neighbors may not be sure. Dementor, you should be familiar with this thing."
Zhang Junyun twitched the corner of his mouth, "Forget it..." he said.
Finally, he finally noticed Tanqing's gaze that seemed to be sucking, so he quickly smiled embarrassedly and explained to her.
The Mandela grass, who was grabbed by Yi Xiao, looked more and more depressed, looked drowsy, and its appearance became more and more dry and yellow. Finally, it turned into dusty ashes and dissipated in the air in a swaying wave.
After a rush, Tanqing and Zhang Junyun finally brought the question back to the point.
"You said before that the real function of that thing is to deliver messages. What kind of message is, of course, if it is inconvenient..."
"It's indeed a bit inconvenient." Although Zhang Junyun was just polite, Yi Xiao was not polite.
Zhang Junyun twitched the corners of his mouth, and Yi Xiao's speech was still as direct as ever.
"Of course, it's okay to say it." Yi Xiao's expression remained unchanged, "It just brought me a bad news. An uninvited guest appeared in my territory."
"The identity is mysterious. Miss Mandelacao doesn't recognize it. The most important thing is... it seems to be very strong, but fortunately it has not shown hostility yet. Well, that's all."
Zhang Junyun couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart. What kind of enemy is it and what the territory is going on? Yi Xiao didn't explain anything. There was no difference in this without saying anything.
But Zhang Junyun also knew that these were Yi Xiao’s personal affairs. They could not ask for anything. They were willing to tell them that it was entirely out of Yi Xiao’s personal wishes. They could not force them, so Zhang Junyun didn’t say much.
"I hope it won't be a difficult guy." Zhang Junyun sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He found that since he met Yi Xiao, troublesome things have been one after another, and he can't solve them, and it seems that they all appear and proceed around Yi Xiao. It's really strange.
But unexpectedly, Yi Xiao shook his head.
"Mandela Grass looks weak, and its reputation seems to be a threat that can kill people by screaming death, but Miss Mandela Tree's strength is definitely not as you imagined. If she wants to kill you..." Yi Xiao's eyes glanced at Miss Tao and Zhang Junyun, making them feel a kind of malice from the world.
"There is absolutely no need to scream a second time."
Isn't that still screaming! Zhang Junyun roared silently in his heart.
"She has the record of killing half of the people in Hell's Kitchen once in New York, including a whole team of New York SWAT police. In short, her combat effectiveness is definitely not low."
"It's not on the same level as the so-called Koga." Yi Xiao's eyes fell on Xiannosuke and Yang Yan.
However, Zhang Junyun did not notice these details because he felt that his worldview was refreshed again. In the Hell Kitchen in New York, Miss Mandela Tree, these are all things. Zhang Junyun only felt a chaos in his head.
Xianyuesuke and the others did not understand Chinese, but they could also hear the word "Koga". However, under the threat of Yi Xiao's powerful force, they did not dare to have any disrespect.
This is their traditional strength, but it is also a disadvantage.
"Okay." Yi Xiao quickly threw away the episode brought by Mandela Grass, followed Miss Tao, and continued to move towards the depths of the path.
After all, this happened on Dream Island, and it would not affect them for a while. Yi Xiao did not intend to return to deal with Dream Island now, as it would easily fail.
Besides, the defense magic of Red Castle is not as simple as it seems. Maybe it will be penetrated by some small magic creatures, but it will definitely not be easy if you really want to break through the defense of Red Castle and cause damage to it.
As this deep path continues to deepen, the sound of birds and insects around it is getting lower and lower, and even begins to become closer to the tranquility and silence.
And not only that, the beautiful scenery at the beginning also felt a bit desolate and ancient and dilapidated when we arrived here.
"Dong!Dong!"
Accompanied by two loud sounds like bells, a sound wave that was visible to the naked eye gradually came from the end of the path, where the shrine might be located, and then gradually spread and echoed in the air.
Yi Xiao frowned slightly. This is the sound of a bell. Obviously, this kind of thing does not exist in the Japanese shrine. Is this a temple or something else?
Thinking of this, Yi Xiao turned his gaze to Miss Tao, but unexpectedly, when he looked to the side, he saw Zhang Junyun and the others looking in a direction in a daze.
Then they looked at it and their surprised target was Miss Tao.
I saw her rushing behind a broken stone tablet at a speed that seemed to be flying. Although the stone tablet looked a bit old and old, it was still very thick. The wide stone slab completely blocked Miss Tao in the back. It was probably difficult to have any attacks to hit her.
Of course, Miss Tao is still on Yi Xiao's side, and the stone tablet blocks it in front of the distance.
Yi Xiao looked at the narrow path not far away, without even a figure.
"You are..."
"Sorry, sorry." Miss Tao seemed to realize that her reaction was a bit too extreme and stood up again. "I got used to it. When I heard the echo, I hid in a conditioned reflex."
"The most dangerous interception appears here, every time it is after the echoes."
"How many conditioned reflexes can you have?" Yi Xiao asked helplessly.
"No more." Miss Tao spread her hands, "This is also the last interception. We were killed. Then I restart the time circling. This means that on the next road, I may have no experience to help you." She turned her eyes to Yi Xiao, "Is it okay?"
"It's enough." Yi Xiao said lightly, not much surprise. He fell to the distance. At the end of this deep path, a large area of buildings appeared. (To be continued.)
