After hearing what Old Man Bai said, Jin Rui just sighed: "Like us? Maybe! I hope their ending will not be the same as ours."
"..." Bai Yuanjing was silent, and there was a hint of gloominess on his face that was not there before.
"What's wrong?" Jin Rui asked strangely. This drunkard was fine just now. Why did he suddenly become worried? This was not his style.
Bai Yuanjing stopped and said in a helpless tone: "Old ghost, I think our situation is not good..."
Jin Rui couldn't figure out why Bai Yuanjing suddenly said this. Could there be a spirit beast or enemy targeting them? But in the outer areas of Qinghai Forest, what spirit beast could pose a threat to them?
However, now that Old Man Bai has stopped, he can only choose to stop before he can figure out the matter.
Bai Yuanjing suddenly asked: "Old ghost, did you bring a map?"
"How could I bring that thing with me? I haven't been here for many years, and the previous map has long been broken." Jin Rui shook his head and replied. He is now the dean of Tianhun Academy, and even Ye Luocheng has few
Never left, let alone ventured to pristine areas.
Bai Yuanjing looked as if this was indeed the case. Although he knew it was impossible to get the answer, he still asked a question and said: "Then do you still remember the previous road map?"
"Liquor, are you kidding me? Who would remember a road map that I haven't touched in forty or fifty years? Maybe someone can, but it's definitely not me! Besides, even if you remember it, what's the use? Do you think Qinghai
Hasn't there been any change in the forest in the past forty or fifty years?" Jin Rui showed an expression that couldn't bear it, as if Old Man Bai was hopeless and would ask such a question.
Bai Yuanjing said bitterly: "Then how do we go, where are we now, and which area did those little devils go to..."
The more he listened, the more wonderful Jin Rui's face became. He finally understood what this drunkard wanted to say. Since this old guy asked himself if he had a map and whether he remembered the route, it meant that he must have forgotten everything.
.
But that's not the point, the point is...
"Liquor! You bastard!!" Jin Rui roared angrily: "Aren't you the president of the mercenary union!? Every day mercenaries want to enter the Qinghai Forest. How come you can't even find the nearest map of the Qinghai Forest?
No, how did you become the president!! Also, didn’t you issue this mission in the name of the union? How could you not know the area where the mission target is? You actually have the nerve to ask my group now.
Where is the little guy?!"
Jin Rui was furious, pointed at Old Man Bai, and cursed: "You old guy, you don't know anything, how dare you lead the way?!"
As soon as Bai Yuanjing heard that the Hidden Dragon troops were withdrawing from Lin Tianxue and the others, he didn't say anything and just took Jin Rui and ran away. Only now did he suddenly remember that he had no idea who Zheng Feng's group was.
where.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that the task of defeating goblins was issued by the union. However, all this process was done by Bai Yuan. Out of trust in Bai Yuan's work, he just signed and stamped it at the end, and then
I just announced it in my own name. I just glanced at the mission and only knew a rough idea, but I didn't have that much time to remember the specific location and route map.
The team that accepts the mission this time can get a map of Qinghai Forest in Bai Yuan's hand, which details the locations where the goblins appear and the roughly guessed wandering range, which can be provided to the mercenary group as a reference.
.
Old Man Bai now regretted his mistake and said unluckily: "If I had known, I would have asked Xiao Yuan for a road map before setting off..."
But what Old Man Bai said could only be heard by himself. He didn't want that old ghost Jin Rui to hear it. If Jin Rui knew that there was a road map but he forgot to take it because of his negligence, it would probably be even worse.
It's on fire.
Bai Yuanjing turned a blind eye to Jin Rui's anger. He spread his hands and looked like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, and said: "Then what do you want to do now? If you have time to scold me, you might as well think of a way."
Then he half-jokingly said: "How about we go back home, maybe those brats really win."
Jin Rui looked at Bai Yuanjing in front of him and shook his head. He originally thought that after so many years, this guy has become an old man in his sixties or seventies, and his temperament would have changed to some extent. But look at his character now.
It hasn't changed.
Going back home? This is simply impossible. It is absolutely impossible for Jin Rui to go back before making sure that the two princesses are safe and sound.
Now Jin Rui no longer counts on Old Man Bai and can only rely on himself. He quickly made a decision and said: "It is impossible to go back now. Time does not allow us to waste like this, otherwise we will get the map and rush back.
At this time, I'm afraid things are over early. We can only move forward! Wherever those mercenaries pass by, they will always leave traces. Following those traces, no matter whether they are those little guys or not, at least you can be sure that the direction will not go wrong. "
"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot, you are very good at 'tailing'." Old Man Bai said strangely, and he also specially emphasized the word 'tailing', which made people think of Jin Rui as soon as he heard it.
Think of 'other' aspects, such as stalking the opposite sex...
Jin Rui was too lazy to pay attention to Old Man Bai, an old and shameless guy. He waved his right hand and a burst of soft blue light emitted from his wrist covered by his robe, and then shouted: "Come out, Xiaoying."
A kitten, only about twenty centimeters long, with sky-blue hair all over its body, suddenly appeared. Each hair was stained with countless small water droplets, as if it had just come out of the water, but the hair was nothing like that.
People feel moist, but full of suppleness.
The most special thing about this kitten is its tail. Behind the buttocks, there are two slender tails that are swaying at the same time. The two tails are entangled with each other from time to time, playing like they are alive.
"Meow~" The water shadow cat let out a soft cry, and the moan was full of laziness.
At the same time, it straightened its body, lowered its front body slightly, raised its back body, and stretched out, as if it had not been out and about for a long time.
The person who greeted the kitten first was not Jin Rui, but Bai Yuanjing. He looked at the kitten and smiled: "Hey, Xiaoying, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Xiaoying heard someone calling him and looked at Bai Yuanjing, with a trace of doubt in his light blue eyes.
Old Man Bai's face suddenly fell, and he said, "Well, you little guy, have you forgotten me?"
The kitten then raised its black nose, sniffed at Bai Yuanjing, then showed a look of realization, and immediately shouted: "Meow meow! Meow meow~"
It was no longer the lazy voice before, but with a hint of joy, as if meeting a friend.
Hearing Xiaoying's cry, Jin Rui laughed. He didn't need the old man to ask, he directly acted as a translator and said with a smile: "Xiaoying said, why do you look like this? You are so ugly.
If the taste hadn't changed, it would hardly recognize you!"
Old man Bai suddenly felt helpless. He never thought that he would be laughed at by this little thing one day and changed a lot? Maybe! In just a few decades, he changed from a middle-aged man to a bad old man, and Xiaoying
But it's the same as before, no change at all. After all, human lifespan cannot be compared with that of soul beasts. Xiaoying may still be in his prime by the time he is laid to rest.
However, a lot has changed at this point, he admits!
But does he look ugly now? He is quite satisfied with his long white beard!
So Old Man Bai held his gray beard with his hand, made a gesture of feeling good about himself, and asked: "Isn't this handsome?"
"Meow!"
Jin Rui translated directly: "Xiaoying said, 'It's so ugly!'"
Then he laughed and said: "Hahaha!! I have told you a long time ago that it is not suitable for you to have a beard, but you just don't listen. You still think you look so handsome with that beard. Do you know now? Not even the soul beast.
