Chapter 385 Perhaps I can hug you freely

Liu Jianan lay in Duan Haiping's arms, with her head resting on his arm.

Her palm gently stroked the man's cheek.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Duan Haiping opened his eyes and grabbed the boy's restless hand, "You don't have to think too much, I said, I will never blame you."

Liu Jianan's eyes showed a little more smile: "Do you know what I'm thinking about?"

"Aren't you thinking about what happened just now?"

Liu Jianan shook his head: "I'm thinking about you."

His voice was hoarse and low, with some kind of obscure magic: "I was thinking that if we don't have to hurry tomorrow, if there are no outsiders around, maybe we can hug each other freely in this starless night."

Duan Haiping's eyes deepened a lot, the love that cannot be described in words was intertwined with desire, mixed in each other's hot and heavy breathing.

"I am also looking forward to that day." Duan Haiping tightly held Liu Jianan's waist, not letting him see the heat in his eyes. "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Liu Jianan hummed and closed his eyes in Duan Haiping's arms.

However, Duan Haiping couldn't sleep.

Liu Jianan's words kept repeating in his mind. The phrase "wanton hug" seemed to have taken root in his heart, making him itchy and unable to fall asleep for a long time. As

the summons were about to expire, Duan Haiping only left a helpless sigh: "You only know how to provoke me, you are such a bad guy."

Liu Jianan, who was sleeping, twisted his cheek, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

...

The next day.

Liu Jianan was awakened by a burst of noise.

He walked out of the tent and found that there were many more people in the team, many of whom were unfamiliar faces. They should have just arrived here today.

Seeing that Liu Jianan woke up, everyone looked at him in unison and shut their mouths at the same time.

The sudden silence made the atmosphere awkward.

Fortunately, Yang Yan spoke up to make things easier: "Brother Xiao Gu, let me introduce them. They are also members of the Bifang tribe and are all members of the guard team."

The captain of the guard team gave an order: "Salute!"

All members of the guard team, including Yang Yan and others, put their hands on their shoulders.

Baihu leaned close to Liu Jianan's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is the etiquette of the Bifang tribe. Generally, only tribes with a heritage have their own etiquette. In addition to sacrifices and other celebrations, they will only salute the most distinguished guests."

Liu Jianan immediately returned the greeting, but his etiquette was just a simple fist.

Although simple, it was graceful.

This made everyone in the guard team realize that this person was likely to have an extraordinary origin.

"My name is Yang Bo, and I'm the captain of the guard team of the Bifang tribe." Yang Bo said seriously, "This time the caravan was attacked by the Huodou tribe. If it weren't for Mr. Gu's help, I'm afraid Yang Yan and his men might have been wiped out."

"You are the benefactor of the caravan, and even more so the benefactor of the Bifang tribe. We should thank you."

Liu Jianan said quickly, "When you see injustice, you should help. What's more, Brother Yang and I have a close personal relationship. There is no reason for me to stand idly by."

Yang Yan curled his lips when he heard this. He liked listening to Brother Gu talk. It was nice and he loved to listen.

Yang Bo nodded slightly: "In order to prevent the Disaster Tribe from making a comeback, our guard team will be responsible for your safety on the next journey."

Yang Li and Yang Jiu looked at each other, both a little helpless.

Lord Yang Bo might not believe what they said.

Yes, no one would believe that Brother Xiao Gu, who looks less than 20 years old, has the power to kill Dou Di and others in seconds.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it themselves.

Yang Yanchun gave them a calm look. Although Brother Xiao Gu was there, the guard team basically played no role.

But since the patriarch sent a guard team to ensure their safety, it means that the patriarch also attaches great importance to Brother Xiao Gu's visit, and they don't need to destroy this friendly exchange.

Yang Bo and his teammates were very conscientious. They did not even sit in the carriage, but took turns to maintain the Bifang form and prepare for battle at any time.

Liu Jianan sat in the carriage and suggested to Yang Yan: "Why don't you let the brothers get in the car and take a rest? It's very exhausting to maintain this state all the time, right?"

Yang Yan shrugged: "There is no way, our guard captain is so responsible, he will always maintain the Bifang form and escort us to the Bifang tribe."

"Is it okay like this?" Liu Jianan was really afraid that the members of the guard team would die suddenly, which would slow down the progress.

"Don't worry," Yang Yan said comfortingly, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. Our Bifang tribe has inherited the Bifang tradition. Maintaining the Bifang form is as easy as eating and drinking. It won't take too much energy. What's more, Yang Bo is a rare genius in a century. He is also the candidate for the next chief. His strength is top-notch."

At this point, Yang Yan looked at Liu Jianan hesitantly.

He added, "Of course, there is still a certain gap compared to you, brother Xiao Gu."

Liu Jianan had noticed this when he first met Yang Bo. The information fed back by his consciousness told him that Yang Bo's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a fourth-level psychic.

Such strength is already considered outstanding among the human race.

But compared to some fierce beasts, it is still not good enough.

"Brother Xiao Gu, Yang Bo has no other intentions. He is just worried about your safety. I hope you don't blame him for taking the initiative." Yang Yan said anxiously.

Liu Jianan smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. He is willing to sacrifice his time to escort us. I am very grateful."

Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope you don't blame him."

He was really afraid that if he upset Brother Xiao Gu, they would not be able to return to the Bifang tribe safely.

Fortunately, Brother Xiao Gu was generous, not fussy, and got along well.

Soon, the carriage passed the Changran Trail and came to the plain area.

Liu Jianan opened the car window and looked out. Although it was called a plain, it was actually scorched earth everywhere left by magma.

As if seeing Liu Jianan's confusion, Yang Yan explained at the right time: "There are many volcanoes in the Huoyun area. I don't know why, but the volcanoes have been very active in the past hundred years. The eruption of the volcano caused magma to flow across the land, burning large tracts of farmland into what it is today."

"The farmland destroyed by the magma has not been restored to its original state after many years. That's why the tribe leader sent us to establish the Bifang Market, obtain supplies, and then send them to the Bifang tribe to trade with other tribes."

Liu Jianan suddenly realized that the Bifang tribe did not just establish the Bifang Market for collecting supplies.

They also used middlemen to make a profit from the price difference.

However, it was also because of the efforts of the Bifang tribe that the tribes in the Huoyun area got the opportunity to survive.

Otherwise, you will be looking at the scorched earth all over the ground. Not to mention food, even weeds can't grow!

The scenery along the way was pretty much the same, either scorched earth or flowing magma.

Such soil has no fertility at all and cannot breed any vegetation.

Of course, Liu Jianan was just thinking about it and had no intention of changing the status quo.

Are you kidding? This land has been barren for a hundred years. How can it be improved so easily?

He doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

The scorched earth and magma did not stop the people from moving forward. The Fire Kirin was not afraid of magma at all, and the material of the carriage could completely withstand the existence of magma.

Maybe it was because Doudi never came back that scared the other people in the Disaster Tribe, or maybe it was the arrival of the guards that made other people with ulterior motives dare not act rashly.

The whole journey was calm, and there was no danger at all.

Not even a single alien beast appeared.

The caravan traveled for two days and finally arrived at the Bifang Tribe.

The Bifang Tribe as a whole was like a stone castle, without a single piece of wood.

But this is understandable, as wood is flammable and difficult to survive in the Fire Cloud Zone.

Of course, these stones are not ordinary stones, but a kind of fire-refined stone that is abundant in the Fire Cloud Zone.

"This kind of stone can be stretched like metal under ultra-high temperature, and can quickly become plastic after leaving the high temperature, which is very suitable as a building stone." Yang Yan explained, "Basically all the buildings in the Fire Cloud Zone are built with fire-refined stone."

A dark light flashed across Liu Jianan's eyes. According to Yang Yan, this kind of fire-refined stone will only melt under ultra-high temperature. Under other circumstances, it is very hard and has good wear resistance.

Maybe it can be made into defensive equipment such as armor. As long as it does not encounter fires close to 6,000 or 7,000 degrees like Bifang, the defensive performance will not be compromised.

He plans to collect some of this stone-according to Yang Yan, this kind of fire-refined stone craters are everywhere.

"Brother Gu, I'll let Yang Li and Yang Jiu stay here with you. I'll go in and report to the tribe leader first." Yang Yan apologized.

Liu Jianan nodded in understanding: "Go ahead, I'll wait for your news."

He was not stupid, so he naturally understood that Yang Yan's so-called report was actually asking the tribe leader whether to let him enter the tribe and the cooperation between the two sides.

Who would have thought that the tribe leader of the Bifang tribe would fly over gorgeously with the wings of Bifang: "No need to report, I'm here already."

Yang Yan looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned: "Mr. Tribe Leader?"

Why did you come in person, followed by their tribe's witch and seven elders.

The tribe leader glanced at him, nodded, and ignored him, and flew to Liu Jianan with everyone.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please forgive us for not coming to greet you from afar." The tribe leader put his hands on his shoulders and bowed his head deeply.

The witch and other elders behind him also saluted solemnly.

Liu Jianan looked at Yang Yan in confusion: "Brother Yang?"

Yang Yan was also stunned. Don't call him, he is also confused!

The witch flattered: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, this is not the place to talk. Please move to the meeting room. Bifang is still waiting to see you."

Liu Jianan was surrounded and entered the Bifang tribe.

Yang Yan and others were left staring at each other.

Yang Li scratched his head: "Hiss, the last time the tribe chief, witch doctor and seven elders gathered together was the tribe chief's succession ceremony, right?" Yang

Jiu nodded: "The tribe chief and witch doctor are common, but it's mainly the seven elders. They are the oldest elders in the Bifang tribe and they never attend the usual gatherings."

Yang Yan looked at the captain of the guard team, Yang Bo: "Yang Bo, do you know something?"

Yang Bo shook his head: "I only know that the tribe chief instructed us to protect you, and we don't know anything else."

Yang Yan sighed helplessly: "Forget it, stop guessing, let's go back to the tribe and deliver the supplies to the warehouse."

As for the affairs of the Xiao Gu brothers, it was no longer his concern.

With the tribe leader, witch and elders present, how could he make any assumptions?

At this moment, Liu Jianan was brought to the meeting hall by the tribe leader of the Bifang tribe, and finally met the Bifang auspicious beast.

When Bifang saw the white tiger transformed into a white cat, he recognized the other party at the first sight, and the whole bird was not good.

Birds and cats are natural enemies, or cats have always been the natural enemies of birds.

What's more, the white tiger is the king of cats and one of the four sacred beasts. So

when Bifang saw the white tiger for the first time, his hair stood on end.

He was so scared that he flew to the corner of the roof and curled up into a ball.

Seeing that his identity was exposed and it caused such a great psychological shadow on the other party, the white tiger didn't know how proud he was.

Without Liu Jianan's permission, he changed back to his original form, climbed up the square table in the meeting room majestically, and showed his fangs to Bi Fang.

This sudden change scared everyone present except Liu Jianan to death!

My goodness, that's a white tiger, don't eat their auspicious beast Bi Fang!

Liu Jianan frowned in dissatisfaction: "White tiger, change back!"

The white tiger raised its head and strode, so majestic: "Human, don't take my tolerance of you as your capital to point fingers!"

Liu Jianan raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

It was just an upward tone, but it contained endless danger.

The white tiger shuddered when he thought of the scene of himself being beaten, and had to turn back into a white cat.

Damn humans, dare to threaten the divine beast.
