Chapter 19 Undercurrent (2)

After a few days, these tourists from the world gradually got used to living under this huge fireball. After nightfall, although the light of the fireball still illuminated the surrounding dozens of miles as bright as day, the people who should sleep could still sleep as softly as before. The whole forest, which was still bustling during the day, was quiet. Only the low rumbling sound caused by the flow of flames on the huge fireball was vaguely heard. And probably because of the fireball, all the birds and beasts in the woods ran away, as if they did not even leave the insects, making the quietness after nightfall a little strange.

After leaving this huge fireball for more than ten miles, the movements on the grass finally seemed a little alive on the edge of this sparse woods, but it does not mean that there are birds and beasts here. After the volcano changes in this day, the birds and beasts nearby and the insects ran away. The people sent by the Treasure Hunt League to hunt had to go dozens or hundreds of miles away to find beasts for hunting. The movements here came from the occasional sound of horse hooves.

A sound of horse hooves from far to near, and three horsemen riding horses walked out of the shadow of the woods on one side. These were three people with different dresses and a large age gap. The youngest was just a teenager with two short swords and other weapons on his waist. The oldest was a man in his forties. He looked like he hadn't slept for four or five days, but he didn't see weapons on his body. In addition, another strong man in his thirties carried an iron stick. The three people rode their horses side by side, looking around from time to time while walking. Although the three people were dressed differently, their expressions were a little tired. Even the most energetic boy was a little absent-minded. The middle-aged man who was already unsung was even more unbearable, as if he could fall asleep immediately at any time.

"No, stop and rest for a while." The middle-aged man finally couldn't help it, stopped the horse and almost fell down.

"My surname is Xiong, this trip is still a bit short." The boy seemed a little dissatisfied and stared at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man sat on the ground and refused to get up. He shook his head and said, "I don't care, I can't do it anymore. I want to take a rest, I really can't hold on."

The boy stood up straight and looked at the middle-aged man with a angrily eyes: "Why are you so careless? You have been patrolling these nights. You either shit and pee or you are not energetic to shiver. You are going to stop and stop all the way, how can you do this perfunctory task assigned by the leader of the three leagues?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the boy with his eyelids and replied in a tone that was dying: "The Third Alliance Leader? Just say that you are the second leader of the Fanying Club. You are so serious, it would be a pity that you would not go to Yongzhou to join the army but follow the Fanying Club to become a thief."

"What did you say, the surname Xiong? Who is the thief?" The young man suddenly put two short swords around his waist with his hands. He looked at the middle-aged man roaring.

"Anyway, it's not my surname Xiong. My surname is Xiong who kills people, robs silver and robs women, but he only acts as a robber, not a thief." The middle-aged man said lazily.

The strong man who had not spoken yet then waved his hands at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's calm down. Tonight is the last night of our rotation. Do you still want to do something about this little thing and try the whip of the Law Enforcement Hall?"

"Hmph. It was the last night that I endured this guy." The young man angrily retracted his hand from the dagger.

The strong man said to the middle-aged man again: "Xiong Guangning, please hold on for a while. When the road is over, you will go back and sleep casually and no one will pay attention to you. If the people behind him find that we are delayed here, you will report to you, a lone thief, who is unintentional, but we will be scolded, and we may be punished if we do not do it well."

"... There is a good patrol for birds where there is no egg in this kind of place... So many people patrolled these days, but have they caught a ghost?" The middle-aged man named Xiong Guangning got up from the ground slowly, muttering and complaining. Suddenly he turned around and ran to the shadow of the woods not far away. "No, I want to shit. You can't help it."

The strong man and the young man were about to stop him, but the middle-aged man had already rushed to the shadow and pulled his pants away, squatting down, making a sensation. The young man turned his head and showed a look of disgust. The strong man also shook his head and looked elsewhere. After a while, after the two of them made a urging, Xiong Guangning walked over with his pants. He slowly climbed up the horse, and then the three of them rode their horses to another place together.

The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. Until it disappeared, the place was about to return to the previous lifeless silence, and two figures appeared silently from the woods. A slim woman in white, a young Taoist priest with casual clothes and unkempt hair. It was Xiao Xia and Mingyue who were out for a walk.

"Master Xia, it's not fun to walk with you. Why do you keep secretly hiding at those people?"

Mingyue frowned and waved her head, and her black hair moved with the wind. The firelight from afar dyed everything around her red and yellow, but it shone on her body, but it reflected a trace of the softness of the moonlight. Her little mouth and her slightly frowned eyebrows seemed to be able to revive the hearts of the bystanders.

But Xiao Xia seemed to have not noticed the beautiful scenery beside her. Instead, her eyes were flickering, with a strange smile on her face, and looked at something on the ground in front of her with all her heart. She walked over quickly, squatted down, tilted her head and looked carefully.

If someone else saw this scene at this time, he would only come to a conclusion that this young man was simply a madman. Because he put aside the beautiful woman around him and ran over and squatted down and watched carefully, the thing he was looking at was a pool of half-sparse and half-dry feces pulled out by the man named Xiong just now. He also looked at it very attentively, very careful and focused, and even lay down, with a look on his face dancing. According to this, it seemed that even if he immediately pounced on him and gave him a bite, it seemed natural.

Fortunately, he didn't really do this. He just took out a piece of talisman paper from his waist and shook it casually. The talisman paper suddenly became as firm as a blade. Then he carefully extended the talisman paper knife to the ground, and picked up the stool with the soil below.

In the soil pit that was lifted, a stone plaque was lying quietly inside. The stone plaque was only the size of a palm, the grayish-white color, the texture looked very delicate, and there were many vague patterns engraved on it.

After looking carefully for a while, Xiaoxia then satisfies the feces and soil held in her hand back to its original place. Then she straightens up, takes a few steps back, breathes a deep breath, shakes her head and says, "...It smells so smelly, so disgusting...What the hell did this Xiong eat?"

"...Since you feel so disgusting, why do you still have to watch it like that? I wonder when did you become like that very much..." Mingyue just felt that she didn't understand.

"Because even if it is disgusting, it's so interesting." Xiao Xia smiled. She looked satisfied and proud, and was also a little surprised. "...The inheritance of Kunlun Sect is indeed not simple. But the people from the Third Hospital can even create such a large formation... I have to arrange this magic circle in these ten days. It seems that there are many disciples of Kunlun Sect who sneak into the treasure hunting alliance. It is not completely unreasonable for those people to dare to attack the Zhuque Spirit Fire..."

The three of them were sent by the Treasure Hunt Alliance to patrol the night. As Shi Taoist and Tang Gongzheng said before, they could gather so many people to come together. They were not the reckless people who were eager to do their best. These two thousand people were arranged in an orderly manner, each performing their own responsibilities, some were responsible for hunting and foraging, and some were patrolling and exploring everywhere. Even at night, there were disciples patrolling around, which was quite a bit like a military trip. But this was not a real military brigade. After all, they were mixed with people and dragons and snakes, and they had their own intentions. Although they could still act consistently on the surface, they had their own means behind their backs. The middle-aged man named Xiong Guangning was clearly a member of the Kunlun School, who secretly arranged formations while patrolling everywhere.

The Kunlun School's magic is not circulated in the world, and Xiaoxia doesn't know much, but he can still guess some clues from Liang Hongtao's words. When he came out at night, he found these interesting things.

However, Xiao Xia is still a little confused about what to do after discovering it. When the undercurrent was surging and it was obvious that it was the wisest to watch quietly. Xiao Xia was not even sure whether Taoist Shi was really unaware of the actions of these Kunlun Sect people, and was still preparing for a backup plan that he didn't know.

"Master Xia, why are you stunned? You have finished reading everything you want. Let's continue to take a walk now. I know that there will be a stream over there. Let's go over and catch fish and play."

Miss Mingyue is the most carefree, and does not waste any distractions on this confusing and complex situation. She took Xiaoxia's hand and was about to walk over there. But suddenly she frowned, turned her head to look deep in the woods, and whispered: "Who is here again? It seems that she is not those night patrolers."

"Let's hide again." Xiao Xia quickly pulled Mingyue with an unhappy look back towards the place where he just hid.

Not long after, a rapid footsteps came from the direction that Mingyue noticed, and then a man walking quickly came out of the woods. The fire shone on the man's face. Xiao Xia was hiding in the shadow and quietly watching him, because this man was the Taoist Chuyang.

The Taoist Chuyang walked very fast, without hiding and covering it, and just walked out of the woods with great strides. Xiao Xia could vaguely see his frown, as if he was thinking about something, and it seemed like he had a headache. What was strange was that because of the light on his back, Xiao Xia could not see the Taoist Chuyang clearly, but for some reason, the dull scene of the Taoist Chuyang he had seen in the hut that he had seen in the hut suddenly appeared again.

Walking out of the woods, Taoist Chu Yang did not stop, but walked towards a further place. Xiao Xia was thinking about how to chase after him. Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came from another direction, and someone shouted from afar: "Who is the person in front of him? Stop!"

The night patrol team of the Treasure Hunt League came, but not the three people who had passed before, but the other four people were riding horses from another direction. The routes of the patrolers were intertwined, and outside the woods was an uncovered grassland. It was almost inevitable that Taoist Chuyang walked out like this and was discovered.

However, when the four patrolmen rode their horses to the front, they also recognized the Taoist Chuyang who often followed their leader. They also relaxed with a nervous look and asked: "It turns out that it is Taoist Chuyang. I don't know where I'm going so late?"

Taoist Chuyang pointed to the direction he was moving forward and said to the people: "I found that the mountain protection formation of the Tianhuo Sect had changed a little. It seemed that the earth spirit energy there was some signs of unstable signs, and I was about to go over and take a closer look."

Although Taoist Chuyang is not one of the leaders of the alliance, his status in the treasure hunting alliance is somewhat important. The leader said, "It's better for us to send the Taoist priest over there. If there is something to do, you can help the Taoist priest."

"No need." Taoist Chuyang waved his hand. "Anyway, it's not far ahead. I'll have to sit quietly and feel it carefully when I get to the place. If someone is by my side, I'll be distracted. You'll just go patrol the night. Don't worry about me."

The back of Taoist Chuyang had already gone away, and the four patrolers were gone, so Xiaoxia walked out of her hiding place, took out a talisman from her hand and stuck it to her body, and her figure gradually became transparent.

"Master Xia, are you going to follow that person again?" Mingyue also walked out of the shadow and pouted. "I have been walking around with others all the time, and I have to peek quietly, it is not fun at all."

"How could it be? This time I promise it's very fun." Xiao Xia looked at the back of Taoist Chuyang who was almost invisible. She smiled as if she had picked up a silver note of 10,000 taels for free.

###

When it was dozens of miles away from Tianhuo Mountain, the fireball that enveloped Tianhuo Mountain was no longer so huge. It was like a large torch in the distance, and the light coming from it was not so bright. It could only illuminate the figure of Chuyang Taoist from behind into a long black shadow.

After walking for nearly an hour, he had been away from the woods under Tianhuo Mountain for more than twenty miles. The Taoist Chuyang seemed to have finally found the place he was looking for. He sat cross-legged on a mound, closed his eyes, and started to sit quietly, as if he had really begun to explore and sense the flow of spiritual energy under the ground as he said. There was silence around him, and there were finally some insects chirping from here, and the chirping sounds from time to time, and the breeze blowing from the grassland. It really set off the Taoist Chuyang sitting quietly, who was closing his eyes and sitting quietly with some fairy-like charm.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of insects suddenly disappeared again, and a dead silence was restored to the surroundings. Then, in the dead silence, a sound of footsteps sounded, and a figure walked quickly from a distance.

When he was still far away, the figure looked nothing strange, but when he walked near the mound, he could tell that it was actually a very fat figure, nearly nine feet tall. His waist seemed to be at least seven or eight feet, like a huge bear with a body ate. However, the figure did not seem bulky when walking. The man walked towards the Tianhuo Mountain, and the firelight in the distance illuminated his appearance. This was a tall fat man with a face full of flesh and a leather armor.

When he walked closer, the fat man's weight, which seemed to be more than 300 pounds, trembled slightly, but the Chuyang Taoist, who was sitting quietly closed his eyes, had no idea of ​​opening his eyes at all. However, the fat man walked straight towards the Chuyang Taoist, and walked behind the Chuyang Taoist, almost all next to the Chuyang Taoist. Only then did he stop, and his cow eyes stared at the Chuyang Taoist sitting on the ground with a pair of bull eyes.

But the Taoist Chuyang was still completely unconscious, as if he had no idea that there was a huge monster standing behind him that looked very dangerous, or he was sitting cross-legged and motionless, and his face was also quiet. A gust of wind blew, blew his sleeves and robe, and it seemed that he was still somewhat fairy-like and was about to leave with the wind.

The Taoist Chuyang did not move, but the fat man standing behind him squatted down and opened his mouth.

The fat man's mouth was very big, and after opening it, he could stuff a large fist into it. But the fat man was not satisfied and continued to stretch his mouth hard. Even the sides of his lips were pulled open. There were two clicks from his jaw, and he actually broke free from the joints of his chin. Finally, he opened his mouth to a somewhat incredible level, just like a snake about to eat. Then the fat man buried his head again and swallowed the head of the Chuyang Taoist under him with the incredibly enlarged mouth.

It seems a bit wrong to say that it is swallowed whole. After all, no matter how fat the fat man is, no matter how big the mouth is, he is still a person after all. It is impossible for him to swallow another person. But at least the head and neck of the Chuyang Taoist Man were completely stuffed into the fat man's mouth. The fat man's already fat face was even more stretched, and even his neck became twice as thick as he stuffed into the Chuyang Taoist Man's head. The body, which was originally fat, now looked even more strange and dissatisfied.

Even so, the Taoist Chuyang still didn't want to wake up. Although his head and face had been completely swallowed into the fat man's mouth, the remaining body, hands and feet had not changed more than half, and he still looked like he was sitting cross-legged.

The whimpering sound rang from the fat man's chest and abdomen, and his throat. It sounded like he was rinsing his mouth. The head and face of the Chuyang Taoist was all contained in the fat man's mouth. Putting aside the strange shapes of these two people, it looked like the fat man used his mouth as a container and shampooed the Chuyang Taoist's hair with saliva.

After half a cup of tea, the fat man spitted out the head of Taoist Chuyang from his mouth. In addition to the fact that there was some saliva on his head and face, Taoist Chuyang looked like he had not changed at all from before, and his chest was slightly undulating. It seemed that he had been immersed in the meditation of the exercise of martial arts. Then Taoist Chuyang opened his eyes, stood up, and walked towards the direction he came. Just like when he came, he still strided so hard. The only difference was that the frown brow had been stretched, as if the thing that had been circling around his heart and could not understand had been solved. Facing the light, he could see that his eyes were very energetic.

From beginning to end, Taoist Yang never looked at the fat man behind him, and he seemed to have no idea that he could not even feel the existence of the monster that had swallowed his head in his mouth. He really just came here to sit quietly and feel what he was talking about.

The monster-like fat man ignored Taoist Chuyang and turned around and walked quickly in the direction he came. This strange and inexplicable scene happened in a dead silence without making any words or sounds.

At this moment, a small area on a grass not far from the hill made a slight sneer, and several grasses were inexplicably squeezed and broken, as if they were stepped on by an invisible foot.

This was originally a very slight sound, and even in the deadly environment around, it should not be possible to reach several feet. However, the fat man who had already walked out dozens of feet suddenly turned around and looked at the place where the sound was made with a pair of dull eyes.

The place where the sound made seemed to be nothing, and there was a clear view of grass all around. But when the fat man saw it, he suddenly rushed there with a speed and agility that was completely disproportionate to his huge body. His huge body brought a strong wind and rushed there almost in the blink of an eye. He had pulled out two big knives from behind him, dancing a sword light to slash the grass that looked nothing.

With a loud bang, weeds and soil flew everywhere, and two blurred figures that seemed to appear out of thin air jumped to both sides and flashed through the fat man's attack.

"Why are you doing well in the boss? I haven't seen you for more than ten days, why have you learned the trick of swallowing people's heads alive?" The figure who dodged slightly and stood up on the ground, but was excited to say hello to the fat man.

The fat man did not answer. There was no expression on the fat face, and blood was slowly flowing down the cracked lips, soaking half of his face blood red. Under the reflection of the firelight, it looked like a fat zombie who had just sucked blood. His dull fish eyes looked at the two figures that were gradually becoming clear.

In the distance towards Tianhuo Mountain, although the sound of sound was transmitted in silence, the Taoist Chuyang who was walking quickly did not even look back. On his face with a calm expression, his eyes were just looking at the huge fireball in the distance, as if nothing else in this world was beyond that. (To be continued.
