Chapter 127 Chang Ba
In a valley deep in Changbai Mountain.
The grass and trees are lush and the fog is thick.
Huo Qinghuang and others followed Xiaobai all the way through layers of dense forests, and finally arrived at the valley when night fell.
"Is this the place?"
Huo Qinghuang looked around and found that in addition to the beautiful scenery, there was indeed a faint medicinal fragrance coming from the valley.
Unexpectedly, Xiaobai shook his head and pointed to the inside of the valley and said, "There is a very hidden path there. Go through it and climb over a mountain, and you will reach the destination."
Huo Qinghuang raised his eyebrows slightly.
No wonder there is a medicinal fragrance here, but it is not strong. It is obvious that there is nothing good here.
She looked at the sky and said, "Let's take a rest tonight and go check there tomorrow."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mao Gougou and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and fell to the ground one after another, not wanting to move anymore.
They had no idea how many miles of mountain roads they had walked on that day, how many times they had traveled through mountains and rivers, how tired and hungry they were, how many frights they had suffered, and how tense they had been. They were already exhausted.
But obviously, the great devil Huo would not let them have it so easy.
"Get up, go gather some wood and start a fire. Do you expect me to get you food?"
Huo Qinghuang crossed his arms over his chest and glared at them unhappily, as if the King of Hell was calling for his life.
Mao Gougou and others had no choice but to accept their fate and get up to collect firewood to make a fire.
Seeing that they were obedient, Huo Qinghuang told Xiaobai: "I'll go get some food, you set up a formation around them and keep an eye on them."
"Master Huo! Don't leave! What if something unclean comes again?"
Hearing that Huo Qinghuang was leaving again, Mao Gougou reflexively thought of what happened last night. He was immediately horrified and begged quickly.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him calmly and said, "Xiao Bai is here, so you guys stay here and don't run around."
"Ah? It? A bird?"
"Yes, Master Huo, there are several lives at stake, you can't treat it like a joke!"
When Mao Gougou and others heard this, their faces turned green.
Even if this white-crowned pheasant can understand human language, it cannot change the fact that it is just a bird!
“Ga ga! Ga…”
Grandfather, rest assured, I will definitely keep a close eye on these prisoners. Hey, I will keep a close eye on these prisoners and won't let them run away!
Xiaobai was very happy, flapping his wings to make a promise, but he suddenly said something sloppy and quickly changed his words.
In its eyes, Mao Gougou and others were almost the same as the prisoners in labor camps. They had no freedom and were exploited by Huo Qinghuang to work.
Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "I told you to watch them and prevent them from being eaten by wild beasts. What are you thinking about every day?"
Xiaobai blinked his eyes, looked at Huo Qinghuang innocently, and said puzzledly: "So they didn't offend the ancestor. Then I know. I will set up the formation now."
As it said this, it flapped its wings and flew aside to look for stones.
Seeing this, Huo Qinghuang sighed helplessly.
Ever since she first taught this guy how to set up a formation using stones, it only knew how to use stones to set up the formation and never thought of using other materials as a substitute.
I've never seen such a stupid bird.
She shook her head, said no more, turned and left the valley.
The furry dogs were left staring at each other, at a loss as to what to do.
…
The valley is not big, and the vegetation inside is lush. From time to time, you can see all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes, which is creepy.
Mao Gougou and his companions had almost finished the food they brought with them. There were only a few biscuits left in their bags, which were not enough to fill their stomachs.
Fortunately, there was a small pond in the valley. At this time, no matter whether the water in the pond was dry or not, they took out their kettles, filled them up, and swallowed them with biscuits, which solved their dinner problem.
Xiaobai had already set up the Five Elements Formation and flew to a big tree in the valley. He stared with a pair of bean-sized eyes and looked down at the surroundings.
From time to time, it glanced at the hairy dog and others who were sighing by the campfire, and shook its head in disgust.
These weaklings can't even bear this little hardship. They are not even as good as a bird. It's a waste of their good human bodies.
Xiaobai, who prided himself on being conscientious and responsible, did not notice that in a hidden cave in the valley, a fist-sized snake head poked out of the cave. Just as it was about to swim out to find food, the next moment the snake's body froze and it stood there in a daze.
Chang Ba blinked hard, and a hint of human surprise flashed in his golden snake pupils.
"Did I wake up on the wrong day? How could there be someone in this godforsaken place?"
It swam out curiously, its black snake body crawling like a ghost in the night.
Xiaobai was lying on the branch, bored and almost falling asleep.
With the Five Elements Formation in place, there won't be any danger at all. Why don't you take a nap?
Its eyelids opened and closed, and it looked drowsy.
But the next second, its feathers stood up and it let out a sharp cry: "Ga ga ga! Where did this long insect come from? How dare you spy here? Are you planning to attack the person I'm guarding? Get out of the way quickly, and I'll spare your life!"
Chang Ba was startled by the sudden shout and shrank back towards the cave entrance. Then, relying on his own skills, he hissed a few times with all his might: "You flat-haired beast, you are quite arrogant! This place has been occupied by me for a long time, but you have disturbed my practice. Why don't you get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai flapped his wings and flew to a branch closer to Chang Ba. "You are such a fool, and you dare to call yourself an immortal. You look so timid, I'm afraid you would hide in your hole and not dare to come out when you see a powerful person!"
Chang Bayi was so angry when he heard this, as if he had been poked in a sore spot. He said, "You really deserve a slap on your beak. I have been practicing in Changbai Mountain for many years and have seen all kinds of battles. How could I be afraid of a mere bird like you!"
In fact, it was also wondering in its heart that its breath was restrained so secretly, but it was discovered by the other party. Maybe the mixed-feathered bird had some background.
But now that the big talk has been made, it’s hard to take it back.
Xiao Bai snorted disdainfully: "Why don't you come out then? Hiding in the cave is nothing."
Chang Ba rolled his eyes and thought that he should go out to check out the situation first, maybe he could find a chance to scare these people away, so he slowly swam out of the cave, coiled up his body, held his head high, and tried his best to make himself look more majestic.
"I see that you are new here and don't know the rules, so I will forgive you this time. Please leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Mao Gougou and the others were already trembling with fear. They huddled together tightly, staring at Chang Ba.
Xu Zheng gritted his teeth and trembled as he said, "Why hasn't Master Huo come back yet? This snake is coiled up like a millstone. It looks like it's not easy to mess with."
"Woo woo, why are we so unlucky? We encounter all kinds of terrible things along the way. When will it end?"
Huang Mingzhu almost collapsed and sobbed with a hoarse voice.
"Xiaobai! Xiaobai, help!"
The hairy dog was also very scared and called out to Xiaobai at the top of his voice.
Xiao Bai flew over the heads of Mao Gougou and the others, and shouted, "What are you making such a fuss about! This snake won't dare to do anything to me when I'm here!"
In fact, it was not sure about it, but it naturally could not show its weakness at this time.
Unfortunately, Mao Gougou and his friends couldn't understand bird language and had no idea what it was saying.
However, when they saw that it really appeared as soon as it called, they felt a little safer and stopped shouting.
Chang Ba looked at Xiao Bai's actions and sneered, "Do you think you can stop me? I think you are overestimating yourself!"
