In the magnificent hall, fish and dragon-shaped patterns were interwoven on the ancient red walls, as if real fish and dragons were swimming in this red hall. However, due to the tightly shut windows and doors, only a few faint lights could be seen from the corners of the hall. Therefore, even if someone were to stand in the hall, they would not be in the mood to admire this magnificent carved wall.
"My lord." A soft voice rang out in the darkness below the platform. The man sitting on the throne opened his eyes as the voice rang out, but he did not speak. He only extended his gaze to an unnoticeable corner.
"Mission accomplished." A mechanical voice sounded in the darkness, followed by faint footsteps.
"Well, how's that matter going?”The man opened his mouth and let out an unusually low voice.
"It has already begun." The voice replied in the darkness.
A strange smile appeared on the man's lips. His gaze shifted to the two stone pearls in his hand. "Hmph, hmph, hmph…What will you do next?”He said in a low voice. He clenched his thick palm, and the two stone beads immediately collapsed under the effect of the huge force. A pile of stone bead fragments of various sizes broke out from his palm and scattered on the ground.
He opened his palm and scattered the gravel in his hand. Then, he slowly looked at his own palm. There was a beam of light shining through the gap between the windows. There was an unusually terrifying wound that extended deep into his wrist. "It really hurts." He looked at the hideous wound and muttered in a low voice.
"Don't worry, since you agreed to my request, I won't fail.”This time, the voice in the shadow answered him. It was not as respectful as the previous one. Instead, it sounded like an equal negotiation. The voice was very deep and steady. It was enough to show that this was an expert in the field of combat.
"Humph." The man snorted as if he was dissatisfied with the attitude of the person who answered, but he still said indifferently,"It better be so."
"We have to take a detour." The cricket bee shook its head at the thunder wolf and looked back at the collapsed canyon as it said helplessly.
Thunder Wolf hesitated for a moment after hearing the report from the cricket bee. It took them a few days to finally get close to the city of Qi, the target of the mission. However, due to the complicated terrain of the mountain pass around Qi City, there were many steep hills and canyons, so they could not enter for a long time. From the looks of it, the flash flood some time ago was understandable. Thunder Wolf looked at the darkening sky. It seemed that there was not much time left. They had to enter the city immediately and head to the mission destination tomorrow for investigation.
"Brahman Snake, go with the cricket bees and find a way to get to the city.”Thunder Wolf turned around and shouted at the carriage behind him.
Thunder Wolf looked at Fan She's cold expression and revealed a suspicious expression. However, he still handed the bridle of the carriage to him." You've been here before?”Thunder Wolf sat in the carriage and asked warily.
Brahman Snake grabbed the thin thread in his hand and pulled it with all his strength. He did not seem to be worried that his skin would be cut. However, if one looked closely, one would find that his palm was covered with transparent prism. The cricket was very cooperative and lightened its body. It leaped into the air and arrived at the carriage. He was wearing special gloves, so he was naturally not afraid of the tearing effect of the thread. The cricket bee stood still and gave Brahman Snake a strange look before entering the carriage. Fan She noticed his strange gaze, but he didn't take it to heart. He looked at the hands that were holding the bridle of the carriage. The faint prism fragments on his palms quietly dissipated and turned back into human skin. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes." The demon spirit's backlash has intensified…" But then, he raised the bridle in his hand, and the sound of horse hooves stomping on the ground instantly sounded in the valley.
The sky was hazy and dark. A light purple glow swam in the darkness as if it was looking for something. The dark clouds covered the sky, turning it into the night sky. The people of Qi City closed their doors early and hid in their homes. Although the raging mountain torrent did not reach Qi City, it had a significant impact on it. Just by breaking through the mountain pass that they often came and went, it had caused a lot of obstacles to the lives of the people in Qi City. Although there were still other roads that could be used to enter and exit, the difficulty of passing through them had undoubtedly increased by several grades. Because of this, the prices of goods in the City of Qi had also begun to soar uncontrollably.
"Hurry up and find a place to rest." Fan She looked around at the rows of closed shops and reminded.
"You're familiar with it. You can take care of it." Thunder Wolf turned around and looked at Fan She. After all, he was still unfamiliar with this place and he had almost never been to this place before.
Brahman Snake didn't reply. He led the group into a small alley. The Hell Tortoise followed in the middle of the team. He felt a little reserved when he saw the cold face of the Brahman Snake. However, out of respect for his father and grandfather, he chose to adapt quickly. The cricket bee next to him noticed the subtle change in his face and smiled with interest. It scratched its nose. The grandson of the Dragon Turtle Master was not bad! He thought to himself.
"We're here." Brahman Snake stopped in his tracks. In front of him was a hotel that looked like it had been in ruins for a long time. If it weren't for the few faint lights inside, Thunder Wolf and the others would have thought that they had come to some godforsaken place.
Yin Yu was also confused. He looked at the inn in front of him and slowly picked up the wooden box on his back. The Horned Pufferfish didn't seem to care, but the Nether Tortoise's expression turned ugly. Cricket Bee waved his hand helplessly. He was already used to his partner's taste.
"Let's go. What are you waiting for?" Fan She calmly turned around and looked at the stunned crowd, as if he had expected this. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the expression on his face seemed to say," Didn't you ask me to bring this?
"Let's go!" Thunder Wolf clenched his fist and shouted. In fact, he did not know much about Brahman Snake, but now it seemed that this Brahman Snake's thoughts were really hard to fathom.
