169、The living
Jing Lang was right. Instead of guessing here, it would be better to act quickly. After a brief discussion, the four of them quickly made a decision: they had completed the task ahead of time, and if they returned to Guzang Mansion now, they would have to stay there and wait for others. So, why not consider going for reinforcements and helping other groups? Even if other groups don’t need help, it’s okay to just take a tour around here.
After all, there are two cranes in your hands now, so it is quite convenient to go to other places.
So, the question now is which group should I reinforce first? The answer is very obvious. Huiyue's words are actually in power; Xiang Gongda's group will have a lot of people, and the rest are only Gui Hai Lanxin and Yu Mufei.
Jing Lang joked: "Xu Yan, I knew you would run to the two beauties."
Xu Yan did not shy away: "Of course, is there a better choice?"
As he said that, two tiger talismans were thrown into the air, and two cranes flapped their snow-white wings, shaking in the air. Xu Yan climbed up and gently touched the crane's neck. The crane immediately understood it. After a long sound, it flapped its wings and flew high.
After plenty of rest, the crane was full of strength again. Xu Yan sat on the crane's back, enjoying the mountains and rivers under his feet leisurely.
After flying for less than a quarter of an hour, Deng Zhuocheng suddenly shouted: "Stop, stop! There are people below, people in white robe!"
Xu Yan lowered his eyebrows and looked down, murmured, "No one, I didn't see it."
Deng Zhuocheng insisted: "I have strange eyes, and I say there are people, there are people!"
Yes, Deng Zhuocheng's strange eyes can see farther and more detailed than ordinary people's eyes. Now he can't refute this. So the crane slowed down and slowly descended to a certain height. Xu Yan also saw a white figure moving in the forest.
Since it is a white figure, it cannot help but remind people of the human body that is controlled by snakes. I originally thought that all snakes were already concentrated in the village, but I didn't expect that there were fish that slipped through the net here.
The crane flew closer and closer. Now you can see that the white figure picked some roads with shelters and moved forward. He was moving faster, a little faster than ordinary people.
"Puff!" "Puff!" Two cranes fell into the forest, and behind the crane was the white figure walking through the forest. When he saw someone blocking his must-pass path, his body trembled violently, and he was obviously shocked.
Xu Yan and others formed a fan shape and walked straight towards the white figure. As they approached, they could see that he was wearing a traditional white robe from Guzang Mansion, with distinct facial features and a rosy complexion. His figure was white and fat, and he seemed to be a wealthy family.
After a brief hesitation, he suddenly opened his arms and said with great joy: "I am so happy to see you!"
Is that so? Are you happy that a few of us come to take your life? Xu Yan asked skeptically: "Why are you happy?"
He said with a bitter face: "You don't know that the nearby villages are full of snakes, all of which are killed when they see people. In order to escape, I had to walk out of the mountains and forests. For a few days, I have never seen anyone, so it's strange that I'm unhappy when I meet you now."
Xu Yan was still worried, and he continued to ask: "Who are you and why are you here?"
He said sadly: "I am the owner of a pharmacy in Guzang Mansion, named Zhao Dongbao. I originally went to the forest with a few friends to collect herbs. Unexpectedly, when I passed by a nearby village, all those friends were kidnapped by snakes, and I was the only one left to escape."
When Zhao Dongbao was talking, Leng Yan's palm touched him quietly. After touching, Leng Yan's face showed a puzzled expression. Then, he touched Zhao Dongbao with his palm, and then stood aside as if nothing had happened.
Xu Yan saw Leng Yan's actions. He first asked Zhao Dongbao to get Leng Huo, but was afraid of hurting the innocent, and then pulled Leng Huo away from Zhao Dongbao. While Xu Yan continued to talk to Zhao Dongbao, he walked to Leng Yan's side and asked in a very low tone: "How is it, are you alive?"
"Well, Leng Huo can get on his body, he is a living person." Leng Yan whispered.
"Are you sure?" Xu Yan said suspiciously.
"Confirm. Lenghuo has been with me for more than ten years, and I know its habits very well. Lenghuo can't burn the zombies we encountered in the village, but Zhao Dongbao is different. He is a living person." Leng Yan said affirmatively.
Impossible, is he a living person? Xu Yan looked up and down at Zhao Dongbao. On the surface, he was indeed a living person. In addition to Leng Yan's Lenghuo, the following points can be proved: First, his face is rosy and can express his expression; second, he can run and is very fast; third, he can speak.
However, there are also some doubts: First, he could appear in the mountains without any injuries; Second, the place where he appeared was too close to the village where snakes were plagued; Third, there were problems with the time when he appeared.
If something goes wrong, it will be a monster. The situation is quite special now, so Xu Yan has to increase his vigilance.
Zhao Dongbao knew that Xu Yan was still suspicious of him, so he said pitifully: "As long as you send me to Huailing Town, I will no longer bother you; or, you guys just don't care about me, just let me go to Huailing Town by myself, that's fine."
Xu Yan said sternly: "Hmph, you want to escape from the crowd."
Zhao Dongbao asked in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
"Yes, Xu Yan, why don't you want to believe him?" Jing Lang said in a confused manner.
In fact, Xu Yan said that just now was just a test. Now, he decided to continue testing. He took out the bit of realgar on his body and said to Jing Lang: "Take all the things on Deng Zhucheng and Leng Yan. If he can carry these realgars on his body, then I will be the last time."
After thinking about it, Xu Yan added: "Also, let's send you to Huailing Town, but you have to wait until Huiyue's people come before you leave."
Zhao Dongbao smiled, and his rosy face suddenly became ferocious. He pulled out the mace behind him and said coldly: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have wasted so much time with you."
"No matter how cunning the snake is, it will eventually reveal its tail." Xu Yan activates the source energy, and the Yitian Sword flew out of the scabbard with a "clang!", and turned into a beautiful arc in the air, falling on Xu Yan's palm.
