Chapter 180
In the jungle at dusk, there are already sounds of nocturnal animals becoming active.
Under the pile of fallen leaves, Mo Ke realized that he had been discovered. His heart sank at first, but after hearing the boy's voice clearly, he was stunned.
He raised his head from under the fallen leaves and saw the familiar figures of two young men.
Mo Ke couldn't help but feel happy.
"Xiao An and Xiao Qi, it's you!"
Mo Ke was deeply impressed by the two children. Although he had only met them once, he recognized them at the first sight.
"I thought someone was following me." He sat up from the fallen leaves and looked at the two children with a smile, "How long has it been? You've changed so much!"
The most intuitive thing is of course his height, but what makes him feel fearful is the fire energy surging from Zhou Qi's body.
I hadn't noticed before that Zhou Qi was actually a fire-type user? And judging by his aura, he seemed even stronger than him...
But when he thought that they came out of the fortress, Mo Ke quickly felt relieved.
"Where's Lao Li? Isn't he following you?"
"No, he's in the deserted city."
Mo Ke nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After all, everyone was trapped in the mountains after the flood, and the two teenagers definitely didn't know how Old Li was doing.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Mo Ke asked.
Halfway through the journey, he realized that someone was following him, so he turned left and right, walking erratically, but he didn't expect that he couldn't get rid of the tail behind him no matter how hard he tried.
When you are about to be caught, you can only choose to hide on the spot.
He was very confident in the location he chose, but he didn't expect to be found so easily in the end. It was really a bit discouraging.
However, this also made him certain that the two teenagers really had something to do with him.
Otherwise, if you just wanted to say hello to him, there would be no need to follow him all the way here, right?
"Yes, we want to go to Lanhu Town and hope you can lead the way for us." Tang Yu'an said straight to the point.
"Lanhu Town? What do you want to do in Lanhu Town?" Mo Ke looked at them and asked.
"I want to do business." Tang Yu'an said truthfully.
"Do you want to exchange for blue beard leaves?"
Mo Ke nodded in understanding, but said pessimistically, "The Lanhu people are very xenophobic. I don't think you'll get anything good if you go there."
He also received a bluehu leaf from him as a thank you for saving a bluehu man.
He had heard that the two children had saved Old Li, so out of gratitude, he gave this precious leaf to Tang Yu'an.
If he took them there now, he would probably be driven out by the Blue Hu guards before he could find the Blue Hu man.
"It's okay, we just want to go over and take a look." Tang Yu'an took out a fruit and handed it to him.
This fruit was collected in the giant forest before. It tastes a bit like wild grapes, but each one is as big as a fist, fresh and juicy, and very delicious.
Tang Yu'an called this fruit "grape fruit".
Mo Ke hesitated for a moment, but still took the fruit and started eating it.
"Well, actually, I'm planning to go to Lanhu Town too." He said while chewing on a grape fruit, "If you want to go, just follow me."
In order to avoid getting into trouble on the road, he would have a hard time explaining to Old Li.
"You're going to Lanhu Town?"
"yes."
Mo Ke felt that the fruit was fragrant and sweet, and he couldn't help but take a few more bites, which made his cheeks bulge.
He spoke vaguely, "I'm tired of staying in Jufeng Mountain. I'm going to check out Lanhu Town. If I can't get into Lanhu Forest, I'll just wander around."
Mo Ke is a person who cannot stay still. After being trapped in Jufeng Mountain for more than 20 days, he has really had enough.
Tang Yu'an glanced at the map and couldn't help asking, "So, we are on our way to Lanhu Town?"
"That's right." Mo Ke pointed to a mountain not far away. "We'll go over that mountain, cross the canyon, and walk through a grassland to reach Lanhu Town."
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but look at Zhou Qi.
They came out to find Mo Ke to ask if he could lead the way, they were not ready to set off immediately!
"Brother Mo, how long will it take us to get there this way?" Zhou Qi asked.
"About five or six days." Mo Ke clapped his hands and stood up. "I'm going to continue on my journey. If you want to go, just follow me closely."
Seeing this, they didn't want Mo Ke to wait until tomorrow to leave.
However, apart from not being able to pick up the message in the bottle, nothing else seemed to be affected. After all, they had disappeared for seven days before, and their home in the deserted city was running well.
As for the dream wishers, there are no major problems at present except that the situation at Ice Rock Castle is unclear.
After all, Wen Qian lived in the fortress, and they gave her fire stones and 10 kilograms of soybeans. As long as she had enough water, she should be able to hold on until they returned.
Once they arrive in Lanhu Town, they can quickly build a teleportation array with the house that Chi Hao has found for them, and they will be back in a few days.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi had a quick exchange on the message board, and finally decided that it would be okay to just follow Mo Ke and leave.
Because they were previously stranded in another dimension, their portable warehouses are now filled with all kinds of supplies that might be needed.
Moreover, they also have the skills of lightness and flying, so the time spent on the road can be shortened.
"Brother Mo, wait for us!"
After making the decision, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi trotted forward and followed Mo Ke.
"Do we still need to continue our journey now?" Tang Yu'an asked.
"Of course, it's still a while before it gets completely dark," Mo Ke said. "The mountains are not peaceful, so it's better to leave early."
As the flood continued, even though the mountain people cleaned up every day, there were more and more mutant creatures in the mountains.
However, the fire snakes from before never appeared again. As long as they were not mutant creatures of this level, the guards could still deal with them.
Zhou Qi looked at the time and estimated that it would take another hour before it would be completely dark.
So Tang Yu'an said to Mo Ke: "Then I will take you flying!"
"What?"
Mo Ke was stunned for a moment, then he felt the boy patting his shoulder, and then... his body became lighter!
Tang Yu'an used the light body technique on him - since he learned the flying technique, he rarely used the light body technique, but he used it three times today.
Then he grabbed Mok's arm and flew into the sky with him.
“Waaaaaaaaaa——”
Mok was frightened by the sudden flight to a high altitude, but fortunately he quickly realized that they were in the mountains. In order to avoid danger, he quickly covered his mouth.
Then he discovered... he was actually flying!
To be precise, it was two teenagers who were carrying him flying.
"You have wind-related abilities?" Mo Ke looked at Tang Yu'an in shock.
He had heard that powerful wind-type psychics could fly in the sky, but he had never actually seen it, let alone experienced it himself.
But soon, he looked at Zhou Qi in shock again.
"Don't you have fire-type abilities? How come you can fly?" Mo Ke asked in astonishment. "Could it be that you have the legendary and extremely rare dual-type abilities?"
Zhou Qi paused, then smiled and said nothing.
They are no longer like when they first came to this world, knowing nothing, and because of their appearance they were always thought to be from the fortress, so they had to be extra cautious.
The more strength they demonstrate when walking outside, the safer they will be.
Mo Ke looked at Zhou Qi with an expression of shock and envy on his face, "Dual Wind and Fire Element, how amazing!"
The wind helps the fire. Under the influence of the wind, the power of the fire will definitely become stronger.
"Brother Mo, you have to show us the way." Tang Yu'an reminded.
“Okay, okay!”
Mo Ke quickly collected his thoughts. He was an adventurous and lively person by nature, and he quickly got used to the feeling of being carried around by the two teenagers.
He showed the two boys the way and flew to the top of the mountain.
The higher you go, the steeper the mountain becomes, and the path becomes very narrow, only enough for one person to pass sideways.
If it was before, Mok would have needed to be extremely cautious when crossing this mountain, but now...
They flew straight over!
Of course, later on he no longer dared to look down, especially when the two young men were flying him across the canyon.
Moke's heart beat faster and his body trembled uncontrollably.
To be honest, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi had never flown at such a high altitude.
The highest they had ever climbed was to the top of a giant tree, which was about a hundred meters high, and the bottom of the canyon... was bottomless, and it felt like at least a thousand meters deep.
Fortunately, the canyon was not that wide, only fifty or sixty meters away, and they flew over it in less than a minute.
When they reached the cliff opposite, not only Mo Ke, but also Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi's legs felt weak.
“This is too exciting…”
As soon as Mo Ke finished speaking, he was blown into the sky by a strong mountain wind. Fortunately, before crossing the canyon, Zhou Qi tied a safety rope for him and tied the other end to him and Tang Yu'an.
“Waaaaaaaaaa——”
Mok screamed from above the canyon.
Tang Yu'an quickly grabbed the safety rope. The moment he grabbed the rope, the power of the mountain wind was removed, and he quickly pulled Mo Ke back.
"Brother Mo, are you okay? I cast a light body technique on you. Your body is lighter now, so it's easy for the wind to blow you away."
Mo Ke clung tightly to a rock on the cliff, his face pale and his legs weak.
"How long will this light body technique last?"
"Five hours."
Because they didn't have a watch or clock, Mo Ke didn't quite understand how the two teenagers kept time, so he asked, "How long has it been since we set out?"
"About an hour or so."
Mo Ke immediately revealed a look of despair. He trembled and said, "Then let's get down the mountain quickly!"
"It's dark now. Should we continue on our journey?" Tang Yu'an hesitated.
"Can't you fly?"
"I can't fly anymore, so I can only walk from now on."
More than an hour was already the limit of their flying skills, and they needed a good rest to recover.
Mo Ke: "..."
Finally, he resigned himself to his fate and said, "Then let's go to the cave over there and rest for the night, and then set off again tomorrow morning."
"OK."
Under Mok's guidance, they quickly found a cave. After entering the cave, Mok finally didn't have to worry about being blown away by the mountain wind.
Zhou Qi went out to collect firewood and made a fire, while Mo Ke released the flames to burn the weeds and spider silk in the cave, and then sprinkled insect repellent powder.
"There aren't many mutant creatures on this cliff. Apart from snakes and insects, you have to be careful of the falcons that nest on the cliffs..."
Tang Yu'an listened to his instructions, nodded and took notes carefully.
"Brother Mo, how did you get through the canyon before?" he asked curiously.
"There's a relatively close section of this canyon connected by an iron chain. If you weren't able to fly, we would have to come through there."
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration.
If he didn't have the ability to fly and control the mountain wind, he definitely wouldn't dare to climb over the iron chain.
Mo Ke had previously traveled back and forth between Jufeng Town and Lanhu Town, meaning he had climbed the mountain at least twice.
So brave!
Mo Ke smiled and waved his hand, saying, "The mountain wind wasn't this strong before. If it weren't for you, I would have returned empty-handed this time."
“That’s pretty impressive too.”
Soon Zhou Qi picked up the firewood, they lit a bonfire in the cave, and then started to eat dinner.
Mo Ke once again experienced Zhou Qi's excellent craftsmanship!
"Xiaoqi, your cooking is so delicious. I really hope I can eat it every day in the future!" Mo Ke ate grilled mushrooms, gnawed on meat buns, and drank delicious wild vegetable soup. He felt that he would never get tired of eating it every day.
"When the flood is over, you can take a look at the deserted city." Zhou Qi thought for a while and said.
"Desolate city?"
"Yes, we built a home there!" Tang Yu'an also said, "Grandpa Li is there too."
Mo Ke smiled, thinking that the home they were talking about was a place like a stronghold.
"Okay, I'll definitely go there when I have the chance."
In fact, he was also a little worried about how Old Li was doing in the deserted city. The water level there was very high and there were many mutant creatures...
Mo Ke nodded and decided to go to the deserted city after the flood receded.
At night, they went into the tent to sleep.
Tang Yu'an reported safety to Old Li on the store channel, explained that they would be away for a few days, and then started the lottery.
Today, I completed the task again with the help of Lan Yunqing.
Perhaps the situation of the Bluebeard mother tree was not so serious that he could not handle it, so he could still find time to trade, but the trading volume was sharply reduced compared to before.
It went from 500 to 600 a day to more than 300, but of course it still brought Tang Yu'an an income of over 10,000 points.
The lucky wheel spun and spun, and soon the pointer stopped.
Congratulations! You've received the special item "Rien's Magic Tent"
Tang Yu'an blinked. Special props... Wow, a magic tent! He quickly told Zhou Qi the good news.
Zhou Qi: “…”
He touched the lucky marble he was carrying with him, nodded calmly, and said, "Can you take it out and see it?"
"good!"
Tang Yu'an took out the magic tent, and the shadow umbrella hovered above their heads, covering all their movements.
[Rien's Magic Tent]
Description: The magic tent made by the great magician Ryan was pawned and sold by him. It has various wonderful abilities and is a must-have item for home and travel.
Bound by: Tang Yu'an.
A magic tent that was pawned and sold?
Tang Yu'an opened the tent curiously.
The magic tent is smaller than the one they are using. The tarpaulin is completely black and looks very simple. There is really nothing special about it from the outside.
When his hand touched the tent, a sense of enlightenment came to his mind.
[The magic core is asking you: Master, do you want to enter the inner space or the outer space?]
Is there any difference?
Tang Yu'an thought about it and chose to enter the inner space. Then he lifted the curtain and climbed in, and saw that the view in front of him suddenly became wider.
What appeared before his eyes was not the interior of a small tent, but a... wooden house?
The cabin is fully furnished and has a dreamy style, looking like a cottage that only exists in fairy tales.
He wouldn't run away to another dimension again, would he?
Tang Yu'an quickly turned around, lifted the curtain and looked out, only to find that there was still a cave tent outside and Zhou Qi was also looking at him curiously. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Xiaoqi, there is a room inside!"
Tang Yu'an retreated into the magic tent again, and at this time the system prompt appeared.
[The magic core is asking you: Do you want to light the fireplace? ]
Tang Yu'an chose yes, but the fireplace was not lit and a new system prompt popped up.
[The magic core is telling you: insufficient energy, please replenish the psychic stone]
"Psychic stones? Any kind of attribute will do?" Tang Yu'an didn't have anything else now, but he had the most psychic stones. After all, he went into the giant forest to pick them up every day.
[The Magic Core is telling you: As long as it's a Psionic Stone, it will do]
"Okay!"
Tang Yu'an took out a wood crystal and asked, "Where should I put it?"
At this time, a small black ball on the table flew over. Its sphere was translucent and about the size of a fist.
[The magic core is asking you: Master, is this psychic stone for me?]
"Yes."
As soon as Tang Yu'an finished speaking, the black ball rushed over and wrapped around his fingers.
The texture is as soft and cool as jelly, which is very unique.
Tang Yu'an felt the wood crystal stone between his fingers being swept away, and the black ball also slipped out of his fingers, and then he chewed it with a crunching sound.
"boom--"
The fireplace suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire cabin and making Tang Yu'an feel warm.
[The magic core is telling you: A guest has entered the outer space]
Guest? Are you talking about Brother Xiaoqi?
Tang Yu'an turned around and walked out of the magic tent, and sure enough, he didn't see Zhou Qi outside.
At this moment, the curtain of the magic tent moved slightly, and Zhou Qi poked his head out from inside. He looked at Tang Yu'an and asked in surprise: "An'an, when did you come out?"
Tang Yu'an leaned forward and squeezed behind him.
[The magic core is telling you: You have entered outer space]
The space outside was very small, just an ordinary tent. After Zhou Qi squeezed in, there was no room left.
Wow, this magic tent can actually camouflage!
In other words, this tent is divided into two spaces, inside and outside, and only the owner can enter the inner space, which is the wooden house?
Tang Yu'an pulled Zhou Qi out, then chose to enter the inner space and asked the magic core: "Can Brother Xiaoqi come in here?"
[The magic core is telling you: You can grant guests access to the inner space]
Finally, after Tang Yu'an's operation, Zhou Qi also entered the wooden house.
He looked at the small house in front of him with an incredible look on his face. Although the super-capable container could have a similar effect, the decoration was indeed not on the same level.
The house is a duplex structure. There are various exquisite furniture on the first floor, and after climbing up the stairs to the second floor, there is a warm and soft bed.
[The magic core is telling you: bedding has been magically cleaned, please feel free to use it]
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but laugh, then he pulled Zhou Qi and introduced the black ball to him.
"By the way, what's your name?"
[The magic core is telling you: Master, I have no name]
"Then I'll get one for you!"
Tang Yu'an looked at the little black ball, thinking of its soft texture, and decided: "Then I'll call you Black Ball!"
The little black ball paused noticeably, and then the system prompt popped up again.
[The magic core is telling you: OK, thank you, Master]
Then, it guided Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi to the bathroom and told them that bathing was a very good way to relieve stress when they were tired during the journey.
And the bathroom is quite big, not only has a shower, but also a large bathtub!
Isn’t this too luxurious?
Thinking about the cold cave outside and then thinking about this exquisitely decorated and fully functional magic tent, Tang Yu'an felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
"Do you have water here?" Tang Yu'an turned on the faucet curiously.
“Clatter—”
Clear water flowed down.
[The Magic Core is telling you: You can do it with a Psionic Stone]
The psychic stone is so useful!
Because he had picked up a lot of crystals in the other dimension, Tang Yuan didn't feel so distressed when he heard that water could not be exchanged for points.
Thinking of something, Tang Yu'an opened the panel and wanted to set this place as a branch.
If they can build it successfully, they will have a movable teleportation point!
Unfortunately, the system reminded them that they were inside a special prop and could not build a branch, so Tang Yu'an had to give up.
So he and Zhou Qi took a comfortable hot bath, then curled up by the fireplace to read for a while, and then climbed upstairs to sleep.
Before going to bed they even climbed out of the tent to take a look.
As soon as they moved, Mok in the next tent was immediately awakened and poked his head out of the tent vigilantly.
"What happened?"
"No, no, we're getting ready for bed."
"Well, go to sleep, I'll watch."
After a brief conversation, they returned to their tents, and the little black ball flew over.
[The magic core is telling you: Master, please sleep peacefully. I will warn you if danger approaches.]
Tang Yu'an nodded and thanked it.
But he had left the emerald outside the tent just now. With it, their safety should not be a problem.
The next morning, when Mok called them outside to get up, the magic core immediately reminded them.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi had a good night's sleep. They came out of the tent in high spirits and saw Mo Ke with dark circles under his eyes and a haggard face.
"Brother Mo, let's keep watch tonight."
Mo Ke looked at them and wanted to say something like they were too young, but when he felt the aura surging from the two teenagers, he swallowed his words back.
It seems...it's not impossible?
He said yes, and after breakfast, he was taken down the mountain again.
It would normally take half a day to reach the foot of the mountain, but with the help of flying techniques, they arrived in just over an hour and then stopped to rest.
"After we pass through the forest ahead, we'll reach the grassland," Mok said. "It might be difficult for us to fly there."
"Why?" Tang Yu'an asked curiously.
"There are a lot of wind-type mutant creatures on the grassland, especially mutant wolves. They come in packs, and we can't defeat them."
Mo Ke said, "Besides, we are exposed in the air. Once we are discovered, we will be sitting ducks. Even a falcon will not let us go."
Tang Yu'an nodded seriously and wrote down this point. Then he found that Zhou Qi was looking at him with a strange look in his eyes.
Thinking Zhou Qi had discovered something, Tang Yu'an asked, "Brother Xiaoqi, what's wrong?"
Zhou Qi shook his head and said thoughtfully: "I was just wondering, are wolves... considered dogs?"
