Chapter 467: Dark Night, High Flames of Food and Grass (Part 4)



Xia Xiao did not hesitate, nodded and left. Ah Zhu watched him leave with his eyes focused. But Xia Xiao was very fast, blending into the night in the blink of an eye and reaching the ground.

In order to complete the mission faster and achieve the goal of the raid, Xia Xiao had a clear mind. After landing, he formed seals and touched the ground with both hands.

The hot magma gushed out from Xia Xiao's palm, broke through the ground in the blink of an eye, and flowed underneath. It temporarily lost its heat, and did not melt the layer of soil above it, nor burn the food and grass on it, but the entire square where the food and grass were stored and the ground under the houses were slowly filled with this hot object.

Xia Xiao needed a quarter of an hour. Although there were no experts in the Qulun realm among the yew trees, he had to go slower to prevent being discovered by the guards in the Shengguo realm. He kept looking in one direction. He could sense that there was a very strong practitioner over there. Such important food and grass were worthy of being guarded by such a strong person. This attack was the first step for Nan Shang to truly dominate the six countries. No one wanted to start off badly, but it was bad luck to meet Xia Xiao, who had escaped the misfortune in his early years.

There were three black lines on his forehead. Xia Xiao raised his eyes and stared at the direction of the strong man. Although he was afraid of being discovered, he was calm enough and his heartbeat did not speed up at all. But in the air, Ah Zhu asked Ju Mang about Xia Xiao's situation.

"Don't worry, he just needs some time."

"Brother Ju Mang, I want to ask you some questions."

"Ask while Xia Xiao is away!"

Ju Mang probably knew what Ah Zhu wanted to ask, it was nothing more than a question of Xia Xiao's attitude. During this period, his attitude towards Ah Zhu was like a long time ago, so lukewarm, which he also felt strange. But after thinking about it carefully, it was also normal. After all, at this time and in this situation, there was nothing wrong with him being like this.

"Why does he keep hiding things from me and become increasingly impatient with me? He wasn't like this a while ago, but these past two days he kept a lot of things to himself."

Ah Zhu is always careless, but she is also a girl who is very careful in many things. Before coming here, he hugged her and comforted her on the top of the mountain in front of the small mountain village. But when she was in Fujikawa before, she had already poured kerosene according to Xia Xiao's wishes, but he seemed a little dissatisfied. Although Xia Xiao didn't say it, Ah Zhu felt the disappointment, just like she wanted to leave, but Xia Xiao still wanted to come here.

Xia Xiao had rejected Ah Zhu, and Ah Zhu had thought about being just ordinary friends, but deep down, she still longed for his care and tenderness. So Ah Zhu wanted to know the reason, and now that Shang Shan was gone, she should have a chance.

"Maybe it's because of this place. He has some memories here that he will never forget in his life. They are related to her."

"She's been gone for so long, hasn't Xia Xiao forgotten her? Brother Ju Mang, what kind of person is Shu Shuang?"

Ah Zhu also knew Shu Shuang, but he didn't know much about her. Ju Mang was silent for a long time. The image of Shu Shuang in his mind was already blurry, but she was gentle and considerate enough, but he didn't know how to describe her. It was like her special existence, which could not be described by ordinary words. Finally, after Ju Mang thought for a long time, he said in extraordinary words:

"She is someone who understands Xia Xiao's heart. Even if he doesn't say it, she knows what to do, and she can do it very well, making Xia Xiao completely satisfied, without any flaws. Even if Xia Xiao does it himself, he may not do better than her."

Is this why Xia Xiao didn't tell him how to pour the kerosene? But was it because he believed he could do it well? Or did he think of himself as Shu Shuang? Ah Zhu was confused and seemed to be lost in the forest of Xia Xiao's thoughts.

"Brother Ju Mang, what do you think my position is in Xia Xiao's heart?"

"Really want to know?"

They were still launching a surprise attack. They were chatting at this moment, and they might face unexpected danger in the next moment, but Ah Zhu still wanted to know. Xia Xiao was there most of the time when Ju Mang was there. The time she could spend alone with him without attracting Xia Xiao's attention was very rare, and she didn't want to waste it, so she nodded.

Ju Mang looked at the ground in the direction of Xia Xiao and said faintly:

"After losing Shu Shuang, his world was dark for a while, and you were a light in the darkness. Although Xia Xiao didn't want to admit it many times, it was hard for him to refuse you to come to his side. The things he couldn't live without the most before were the Pu Dao and Shu Shuang transformed by Shang Shan, and now it's you."

"But he is with me all the time because of my abilities."

Ah Zhu didn't quite believe what Ju Mang said, but he used a profound tone and very vivid metaphors to explain the truth to her.

"Bees need to collect nectar, so they find flowers. But if you observe carefully, bees will still land on many flowers even if they have no pollen. At that time, it is not because of seeking something, but because of attachment. When you ask the bee why it stays there, it may say that it is tired and taking a rest, or it may say it is a habit, or even that it is looking for the next target, but it will not leave the flower."

Ju Mang is the one who knows Xia Xiao best among the four beasts, how could he not know him? Xia Xiao is tough and can deceive many people, but he can't deceive himself and his inner thoughts. Xia Xiao's previous actions exposed what he was thinking. Ah Zhu thought, although he was silent, the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

It was dark all around, but Ah Zhu was like a lamp that could illuminate the wilderness, shrouding everything in warmth. She understood what Ju Mang meant and kept saying thank you. Ju Mang smiled and said no thanks, if his guess was right, they would have a lot of time to spend together in the future, no need to rush!

Looking at Yew City on the ground, Xia Xiao had already finished arranging the molten lava. He pulled out his arms that were inserted into the ground. The armor on them had turned into deep red molten iron, which dripped onto the ground. He quickly retreated into the darkness.

While the cultivators in the distance were not paying attention, a black shadow suddenly flew into the sky, like a bad kid who had succeeded in doing something bad and was running away in a hurry. But he was not afraid of being discovered for what he did, but instead looked forward to the panic on the faces of those southern merchants when they saw the food and grass burning. After reaching the sky, Xia Xiao formed seals with his hands and urged the magma underground to erupt.

The molten lava underground suddenly regained its temperature, melting a layer of soil and igniting the food and wood sheds on it. Once the flames formed by the fire element were ignited, it was difficult to stop. It used the soil, food and wood as carriers to release a raging fire, which startled half of the people in the city.

The burning sound continued in the night, and the flames illuminated the four words "open fire by mistake" on the wooden sign. This flame became a light in the eyes of Xia Xiao and the other two, like a blooming flower.

The flames burned for a while, and even if there was vitality in the city, they could not be extinguished. Seeing this, Xia Xiao and Ju Mang returned the same way. From here to Longgang, Xia Xiao had walked for two full days, but now it only took two hours. However, on Fujikawa's side, there was already a strong man standing in the sky, as if to warn, and also to avoid Wang Ling's nagging and lecture.
