Chapter 416: Snatch
Late at night, Cheng Kun prepared a place for everyone to stay. It was a large and thick tree, with straw ropes connecting the branches, enough for people to lie down.
Meng'er tried to lie down on it, showing a look of surprise. Although she didn't seem to be sleeping well, she felt very soft and stable when she lay down on it.
Lan Yu is transforming into a blue-feathered peacock and standing on the branch next to Meng'er: "Go to rest early, I'm very tired!"
Linshuang and Qingji were not used to the feeling of sleeping suspended in mid-air, so they each revealed their true bodies and lay down under the tree roots to sleep. There was a thick layer of young leaves under the tree roots, which was also very comfortable.
Xin'er rolled around playfully behind Linshuang. The direwolf's huge body was like a hill, and Xin'er would not fall off no matter how hard she rolled.
As for Wang Shuo, he was sitting in Chengkun Cave Mansion, tasting jam and discussing his experiences in illusion.
Cheng Kun's understanding of illusions is more focused on controlling the mind of the person subject to the illusion, and the method of "blinding the eyes with a leaf", while Wang Shuo is more interested in using illusions to deceive and confuse the opponent in battle.
Suddenly, Wang Shuo changed the subject and asked: "Why is there an oasis here in the snake tribe's domain, in this vast desert?"
Cheng Kun was not surprised by Wang Shuo's question, and explained with a smile: "In the Snake Clan's territory, because the wind from the east sea is blocked by the mountains, it is difficult to get rainfall, so there is such a desert scene. Only there is a high mountain in the center.
The melted snow water is replenished every year, forming a large oasis, which is also where the Snake King lives. The small oases around us are all water diversion channels dug under the desert by the ancestors of the ancient Snake Tribe, which brought water from the big oasis.
It was formed by water! There are more than ten small oases like this!"
Hearing this, Wang Shuo was greatly shocked: "Only the Snake Clan can dig channels from the desert and send water thousands of miles away. I really admire your courage!"
"Hahaha!" Cheng Kun laughed: "It's getting late. Fellow Daoist Wang, please take a rest early!"
Wang Shuo raised his brows, then arched his head and stood up: "Then Wang Shuo won't bother me anymore!"
After saying that, Wang Shuo went to the tree where several people were resting. Meng'er on the branch fell asleep peacefully under the protection of Lan Yusheng. Lan Yusheng's peacock head was buried in the feathers. At first glance, he thought Lan Yusheng had no head.
Linshuang smelled Wang Shuo's breath under the tree roots and slowly opened his eyes. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the huge wolf eyes shone like clear pool water.
Xin'er remained in human form, lying on Linshuang's back and soundly asleep, but Qingji disappeared without a trace.
Wang Shuo lowered his voice and asked: "Where did Miss Qingji go?"
Linshuang looked aside and then back to Wang Shuo, indicating where Qingji was going.
Wang Shuo nodded: "Ever since she came out of the illusion, she has been acting a little weird. She must have seen something she didn't want to see. Forget it, I'll go see her!"
Wang Shuo walked towards the direction indicated by Lin Shuang. Unexpectedly, Lin Shuang suddenly stretched out a paw to block Wang Shuo's face, and the breathing in his throat became rough at this time.
"Miss Linshuang, what's wrong with you?" Wang Shuo looked up at Linshuang, only to see Linshuang's eyes staring at him, and the cold air in his nose blew Wang Shuo's sleeves.
The breath of this cold air is somewhat similar to the breath of green thorns, with a strong sense of desire.
Because Linshuang's movements were too big, Xin'er woke up on her back. Xin'er suddenly sat up and looked at Wang Shuo and Linshuang below: "Brother, Sister Linshuang, what are you doing?"
Wang Shuo smiled slightly: "Xin'er has a good rest. I asked you, Sister Linshuang, to get up early tomorrow!"
Then he touched Linshuang's big paw: "Miss Linshuang, it's getting late. You should rest early. We will continue on our way tomorrow!"
After saying that, Lin Shuang's regretful eyes gradually faded away.
Xin'er laughed evilly, jumped up to Linshuang's head, grabbed Linshuang's ears and said, "Sister Linshuang, don't be too hasty!"
Linshuang retracted his claws: "I, I'm just giving Brother Wang a direction!"
…
At this time, Qingji was sitting on a tree, and the snake demons around her had already hid far away. From a long distance away, one could feel the resentment surrounding Qingji.
After a while, Wang Shuo's voice came from beside him: "Fellow Chengkun's illusion technique has to be admired for its mystery. Ever since you came out of it, something hasn't seemed quite right!"
Qingji looked up and looked aside, where Wang Shuo in white clothes stood on the branch. The woman looked at Wang Shuo under the moonlight and was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered her head: "Why are you here?"
"Come see you!"
"What do I have to see?" Qingji pouted.
Wang Shuo snorted and smiled: "Illusions are still illusions after all. Being trapped too deeply in other people's illusions will harm the growth of the fox clan's illusion skills. If you can get out, your illusion skills will be improved!"
"I know, I didn't fall into the illusion, I just feel a little... uncomfortable!" Qingji said, and his voice became like the buzzing of a fly.
Wang Shuo blinked: "It seems that I am worrying too much and am in a bad mood. I see that you are very dissatisfied with Linshuang. Did she make you angry?"
"It's none of her business, I'm just unhappy with her!"
Wang Shuo raised his eyebrows: "That's...me?"
As soon as he said this, Qingji couldn't help but move his feet hanging in the air: "I...can't blame you!"
"It seems that it has something to do with me!" Wang Shuo sat down with a smile and took a long breath: "My final destination is for the fox tribe to realize. By then you can see more fox demons, so you don't have to worry about me.
!”
"I know, but I don't want to go to the Fox Clan's territory!" He turned to look at Wang Shuo, his eyes seemed to be a bit begging.
Wang Shuo was also confused: "If you go to the Fox Clan, wouldn't it be good to have more of your own clan?"
Qingji turned his head and stared down for a long time, then said with a slightly crying voice: "If you don't want to go, you just don't want to go!"
"Okay, okay!" Wang Shuo comforted: "Then there is no need to go to the Fox Clan territory. We will pass through many places along the way. You can choose a place you like to stay and see you again when we come back!"
"That's not what I meant!" A faint mist appeared in Qingji's eyes: "Are you pretending to understand, or are you deliberately asking me to tell the truth?"
Wang Shuo was at a loss when he saw Qingji like this. If anyone had to cry more in his life, it was Qi Yuhui, but it was Qingji and not Qi Yuhui.
Qingji suddenly burst into tears, grabbed Wang Shuo's sleeve and said: "In the illusion, we arrived at the Fox Clan and met all kinds of fox monsters. I saw you being snatched away by another female fox monster. You
I was the one who met you first, why should you be snatched away by them? Can you please promise me now? I don’t want to see you snatched away by them, let alone that wolf from Linshuang!”
Wang Shuo was startled by Qingji's appearance, but he didn't react much. His expression remained as usual: "Miss Qingji, you are so excited!"
