Fortunately, I haven't had time to cancel the luxury suite I booked earlier.
Li Sui'an simply put aside his worries and enjoyed the moment. He soaked in the small hot spring pool in the courtyard of the guest room and listened to the noise outside.
The Fire Ape Tribe not only rushed back those who left, but also stopped all those who went up the mountain. But after all, the Hot Spring Valley was adjacent to Kunpeng City, so it was hard to really imprison them as prisoners.
These people are either rich or noble, so naturally they are not easy to mess with.
Although freedom is restricted, they are entertained with good wine and good food.
Of course, you have to pay.
Even so, everyone still couldn't accept being treated like a prisoner and having their freedom restricted, and having to be searched and interrogated by waves of people five times and three times.
"Your Fire Ape Tribe lost something, what does it have to do with us?"
"My father is the magistrate of Hexi County. If you are wise, please let me go. Ignore the king's laws. Do you really think you are a city within a city?"
But the tourists who took a dip in the hot spring river outside suffered a lot because their freedom was restricted and they had no place to live.
The temperature was even lower at night, and they were not allowed to leave and were not given food to eat. It was so noisy that the sky filled the sky.
"The demons and ghosts are not as domineering as you!"
"What a bullshit hot spring valley, I will never come again next time."
Hearing another wave of questioning people leaving outside, Lin Qing also walked in with a sad look on her face.
"My boss, I asked, but they didn't tell me what was missing. They just searched it over and over again. We have been implicated by the mysterious thief, and I'm afraid we won't be able to leave tonight."
"Has anyone come from the government?"
Lin Qingdao: "The Fire Ape tribe has a very tough attitude. The government only came with a team of police officers, so I don't dare to provoke them."
Li Sui'an nodded.
He had some doubts about whether he was cursed with "not being able to leave the city". The only two times he went out of the city were not good experiences.
The last time it was a counterattack when the demons besieged the city, they were forced to leave the city.
This time I was out of town, eating hot pot and singing songs, when I was suddenly stopped by someone.
Really unlucky.
So before you go out next time, should you check the almanac to see if it says ‘not suitable for travel’?
"Then just stay here peacefully and treat it as a vacation."
Lin Qing nodded, but stopped talking.
Combined with what happened at this time, I became more and more curious about why Li Sui'an was so eager to leave before.
Just as he was about to ask, Li Sui'an gently put his finger to his mouth.
Lin Qing was slightly startled, and immediately looked out the window warily, as if someone was listening. He stood up and walked over, closing the window with a bang without saying another word.
Narcissus and Fawn were not affected at all and remained optimistic.
The deer could stay anywhere as long as it had food. It grabbed a handful of unknown dried fruits, and it looked like a squirrel with a big mouth, chewing them endlessly.
Narcissus made the bed for him and said, "Sir, everything else is fine here, but I can't soak my feet tonight."
Li Sui'an frowned. He hadn't considered staying overnight before, but this was a problem. Next time you go out, you don't have to take anything else with you. You must take the foot bath bucket and medicinal materials with you.
The two stayed for a while and then left.
Li Sui'an felt it silently until the surrounding surveillance eyes disappeared. Suddenly, with a flick of the air, there was a ripple in the void in front of him that ordinary people could not see.
An elliptical chaotic space with a cross-section of about three feet square is reflected in the perception.
[Talent magical power: Kongkong. The third in the sequence, space attribute.
First level (0/20): instant escape (16%), empty nest (9%)]
This portable space is an ‘empty nest’.
As the proficiency increases, the space inside the 'empty nest' is pushed wider and wider. The flow of time inside is also extremely slow. The wolfberry and ginseng tea that was put in a few days ago is still hot.
The five pig fish that were just put in this morning were already dead.
The inability to store living animals is a major drawback.
I don’t know if it will change as the level gets higher in the future?
He had not fully utilized the space in the 'empty nest'. Apart from the evil-destroying magic gun, two long knives, and wolf-head mask he carried with him, most of the space was idle.
After all, he is a homebody and is always at home. There are so many things that need to be kept on him at all times.
Li Sui'an stood up quietly, took out the wolf head mask and put it on.
Taking one step forward, he appeared on the trunk of a big tree in the valley.
I have been practicing my natural abilities very frequently recently, and as my proficiency gradually increases, the cooldown time of teleportation has also been reduced a bit. The distance has also become much longer with my proficiency, but my mental consumption has actually decreased.
After silently evaluating it, I found that there was some land three miles away in a straight line, and there was progress.
At this time, the vegetation in the valley was full of soldiers and spies, and he did not dare to stay in one place for too long.
They escaped instantly and soon left the hot spring valley.
The noise outside seemed to have stopped, but the whole valley was still brightly lit. The guards seemed sparse, but in fact they were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and there were whistles everywhere in the dark.
Including high mountains, one can also see continuous torches like long dragons. Obviously, most of the forces are stationed at the intersections that must pass through the mountains.
If there hadn't been an avalanche just now, they might have gone into the mountain to search.
Li Sui'an quietly crossed the blockade and escaped up the mountain in an instant.
He originally wanted to look for the natural hot spring pools where white-headed monkeys bathed, and see if he could find the tunnel that went straight into the ground. However, an avalanche destroyed most of the terrain that had been previously explored by his spiritual sense. In addition, in the darkness, his vision was dim, and he
The place can no longer be found.
I had no choice but to go down the mountain in despair.
The thief didn't leave empty, he even packed a large ball of scalding hot spring water before leaving.
When we arrived outside the valley, we saw bustling crowds of people still gathered around the hot spring river.
The lights were bright all around, and no one was allowed to leave or take in. The situation was chaotic.
If we invite some demons and evil spirits to come over again, big trouble will happen.
In the crowd, he saw several priests dressed in professional attire that were very different from the totem warriors. With them around, he expected that even if the evil spirits came, they would not be afraid.
While he was looking at it, the old priest suddenly turned his head and looked into the woods behind him.
Li Sui'an didn't know why, but he met the old man's eyes.
The old man's eyes seemed like a whirlpool, instantly pulling his spirit down, until he was about to fall into a sea of magma and fire.
The black lotus flashed in his mind, and he suddenly woke up.
I suddenly felt bad and disappeared instantly.
The next moment, a tall figure landed from the sky on the tree trunk where he was standing.
There was a loud "boom", the big tree was shattered by a punch, and sawdust and snowflakes flew all over the sky.
The totem warrior withdrew his fist and didn't feel anyone around him. He looked doubtfully at the high priest who came after him.
The high priest said nothing, looking back at the quick glance, "Direwolf?"
He shook his head and shouted: "Immediately send a message to the valley and ask them to check the inn again to see who is not there?"
"yes."
…
"Dong dong dong~"
A violent knock on the door woke up Lin Qing, who was not yet asleep.
Another round of interrogation began.
Even though I was filled with hatred, I still had to be arbitrarily searched by this group of totem warriors under the eaves.
"There are only three of you here, aren't there four people staying?"
"My master has gone to bed."
"Call him out."
Without waiting for Narcissus to react, the two soldiers walked towards the room and knocked on the door vigorously, but there was no response for a long time.
Lin Qing's heart also skipped a beat. Seeing that his expression was wrong, the leader followed him smartly, "Break the door!"
Before he could hit him, someone walked out.
He angrily yelled and cursed: "I'm not letting anyone sleep anymore. I'm going to check ten times a night to see if it's finished or not, ah!"
The Totem Warrior gave him a cold look, then scanned the room and left after finding nothing unusual.
Li Sui'an breathed a sigh of relief. The forces that could gain a foothold on the side of Kunpeng City should not be underestimated.
"Be sure to read the almanac before going out next time."
I worked like this for most of the night and didn't stop until dawn the next day.
At this time, a large number of city guards and officials had arrived at the foot of the mountain. After long negotiations, the tourists who had been trapped all night were finally allowed to go.
It was a good trip to the hot springs for the Bathing Festival, but I came away excited and disappointed. On the way back, Li Sui'an paid attention to other tourists and never saw that somewhat similar face again.
Return to Beicheng.
In the market, the big man from the Longchao clan greeted Li Sui'an politely as soon as he saw him.
"Your Excellency, I thought I couldn't come."
"Have you brought anything?"
He looked honest and upright but behaved sneakily. He stretched his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency, please come with me."
The two of them left Fangshi and walked straight to a remote place. Li Sui'an was suspicious, maybe he wanted to knock me out.
Li Sui'an worried too much, but nothing happened.
It is true that Huajin grass is too sensitive, but it is carrion worms. It is crystal clear and does not have the nauseating feeling of maggots at all.
"After we leave this door, we don't know each other anymore. No matter what you do with Huajincao in the future, we don't know."
