Chapter 685: Cat and Mouse Game



Yuan Qi comes from the wilderness and exists everywhere. This is why the rain and snow can hide their aura. But Wang Jinlong couldn't understand why Xia Xiao chose to ignore him when he made such a big noise? Has his patience reached that level? If so, it would be really terrifying.

After carefully observing Xue Lin, Wang Jinlong first determined that he was heading north, and then notified the rulers of the entire Yun Kingdom and began to march north. There were not many strong people in the Yun Kingdom's cultivation world, but under Wang Jinlong's control, they were united and pulled a net to the north together, approaching Xia Xiao like driving fish.

At first, Wang Jinlong was secretly happy because he had discovered Xia Xiao's trace, but gradually he became unhappy because these signs seemed to be left behind intentionally because they were too easy to find.

The faint smell of demonic energy in the air continued, not like something left behind accidentally. Wang Jinlong couldn't guess Xia Xiao's thoughts, so he sped up and chased him relentlessly. But after a while, he who rushed forward first discovered a strong black and red demonic energy.

In order to prevent Xia Xiao from escaping from the net, Wang Yinlong and Wang Shixing formed a trident and stabbed at him. Therefore, Wang Jinlong approached the evil spirit alone. With Xia Xiao's strength, he could not threaten him. Wang Jinlong knew it well, so he fell from the air, but did not fall completely to the ground. He just stood at a low altitude and looked at the evil spirit leaning against the tree.

The evil energy looked out of place anywhere, and now it was a ball, and no one knew what was hidden in it. Wang Jinlong reached out to it, activated it with his energy, and blocked the air wave, allowing the trees to fall snow. After the branches were relieved of their burden, the evil energy turned into a line of words:

Wang Yaping is inside me, I am heading north, do you dare to chase me?

"What a provocative Xia Xiao!"

When Wang Jinlong was angry, his vitality shook, and the whole forest began to fall snow, like a strange white autumn harvesting white soft fruits. Among them, Wang Jinlong turned into a stream of light, while informing the practitioners of the Cloud Country, he continued to move north. Someone asked what if Xia Xiao had fled to the south, Wang Jinlong replied that it was impossible, since he dared to provoke, he would not find time to escape. This cat and mouse game, Xia Xiao can still afford to play!

Far to the north of Wang Jinlong, Xia Xiao suddenly turned around and saw a black and red magic ball floating beside him. He stood beside it, his face calm, like an iceberg, with a few strange smiles, as if he was sure of victory, but also as if he was taking a risk. Walking on a tightrope is a dangerous act that requires both strength and luck. If you lack any of these, you will fall into the abyss. Xia Xiao has walked on it many times and fallen many times, so he walked forward with ease.

A gust of snow and wind passed by, and Xia Xiao disappeared, leaving only the magic ball floating alone in the woods.

Going further north, the sparse forests disappeared, leaving only grasslands covered with snow. The grasslands were endless, with a single sun in the sky, and the light it released was muffled by thick clouds, making people depressed.

Such a day is neither as good as a sunny day nor as good as a rainy or snowy day. It is neither fish nor fowl, and is despised by horse thieves. I lazily stay in my quilt. But Xia Xiao runs fast, running alone on the grassland, and his lightning-fast appearance attracts some people's attention.

"What just passed by?"

"Goshawk?"

"No way, how could a goshawk fly so low?"

When Xia Xiao gets stronger, he will travel to the Silent World. There are not many people in this lush plain, so that way of traveling is very suitable for him. Unlike the surrounding areas of the South Country, where there are academies and adventurer guilds, it is not suitable to enter the Silent World. Because there are not necessarily fewer people than outside, and it is even more lively than the outside world. Most people in the Qulun realm like to go in and discuss a little. After all, being able to enter the Silent World is a symbol of strength.

You can enter after you have ten annual rings. Xia Xiao broke through to the sixth ring a few days ago. Although it is not particularly exciting, it is one step closer. For Xia Xiao, the desire for power will never end, it will only become stronger with the vision and the things he faces.

With his wings still folded, Xia Xiao turned around and glanced back, estimating that Wang Jinlong should be able to see the message he left at this time. The magic ball suddenly opened, and the words were insulting, like a curse:

Old man, your leg is lame?

As the elder of Yun Country, Wang Jinlong has always been mature and stable, but he was irritated by Xia Xiao's performance. In the snowy mountains, Wang Yaping's body was not found, and he couldn't catch her, which was really a shame. As he continued to move forward, Xia Xiao came to the convoy of the Adventurer's Guild wearing a bamboo hat and empty sleeves.

As one of the five major forces today, the flag of the Adventurer's Guild is very conspicuous. Most of its subordinates are strong men. They are resting quietly at this time and will go to the north later. Xia Xiao seemed to see through their whereabouts and asked knowingly:

"Are you going to the North?"

Several big men saw Xia Xiao dressed like a knight on the grassland, but they did not like such noble people. They were all money-minded and would not be with him.

As the big man was pushing, a middle-aged man in his forties came over. He looked stern, sized Xia Xiao up, and asked what was going on.

"I'm going to the North, too. Can I get a ride?"

"The place we are going to is the grassland known as the Devil. Are you sure you want to go?"

Xia Xiao nodded. His judgment was correct. In such an uninhabited place, the adventurers heading north with enough food could only go there. They would go through the entire grassland and explore the wonders of that area by following the snow on it.

"Five hundred taels of silver."

The middle-aged man in the lead was silent for a while, then he opened his mouth loudly, but the others were not surprised, but grinned, waiting to see how this man would respond. The captain has always been like this, and this is also their rule, not to share the same road with idle people. But if this guy can really come up with so much money, what if they break the rules? You know, five hundred taels of silver is much more than what they can earn from completing a mission.

Xia Xiao was currently poor, how could he have so much money? But with a wave of his hand, thirteen swords appeared, corresponding to the thirteen members of the Adventurer's Guild, extremely sharp, emitting cold light. The majestic sword energy carried by them made the team immediately activate their vitality and become cautious. But Xia Xiao had no hostility, the captain with a fixed gaze could feel it, and even if he had hostility, they could not resist.

"I hope you can do me a favor. I don't have much silver on me, so I will give you a weapon. How about that?"

The swords fell in front of the thirteen people. The feeling of being tailor-made made them feel comfortable in their hands and they smiled happily. But it was because of this that the captain realized the horror of the man in front of him. In just a moment, he knew his details and was able to make such a sharp weapon. It seems that he is a practitioner who has achieved great success in the gold element and is at the level of the curved wheel. It is naturally good to travel with such a strong man. Most of the risks on the grassland can be avoided, but why did he come? Wouldn't it be faster to go by himself on a sword than in a carriage?

The captain didn't understand that Xia Xiao was playing a cat-and-mouse game, but no matter how clever the mouse was, it couldn't compete with the cat, so he had to hide in the hole. The cat would definitely find him, but not so quickly. During this time, Xia Xiao could achieve his second goal. By the time the cat came back, he would have already slipped away.

Seeing the captain hesitate, Xia Xiao asked:

"Li Ming and I are old acquaintances. I wonder if the captain recognizes him?"

"Li Ming?"

When the captain mentioned the fierce man with a scar on his face, his attitude changed. He didn't expect that since this guy knew Li Ming, he must be a ruthless character. It would be better to give him a ride to avoid any unpleasantness.

"I know them. We are all from the trade union. However, we have a long way to go and we don't have any extra carriages. We have to ask you to squeeze in with us."

"It doesn't matter. It's just for convenience."

After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he got on the car with them, and the team headed north again. There were four people in the car, three of whom were big men, with bodies as strong as iron towers. Xia Xiao was the thinnest, but no one dared to underestimate him.

The big men played with the weapons Xia Xiao gave them. The material, the blade, and the majestic aura contained in them made metallic clanging sounds when they moved them slightly, which made them marvel at its simplicity and happy again, with the corners of their mouths raised.

For these adventurers, having a handy weapon is as auspicious as having another person by their side. However, when they glanced at Xia Xiao with respect, he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed under his hat, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xia Xiao didn't care about the opinions of the people around him, and was just immersed in his own world. However, there were always people who kept speculating on his intentions and purposes, but the captain quickly signaled the deputy captain to shut up and said:

"Talk less and nothing will happen."

The vice-captain was somewhat helpless, but he followed his advice. The captain had more experience than himself.

A few hours later, the carriage began to accelerate. Several Yun Country practitioners passed by them but did not stop. They continued to move north at their fastest speed.

"Lord God's Messenger, are you really not going to take a look?"

Wang Qishen looked at the carriage and hesitated. The six major countries on the surface of the Great Wilderness, the Southern Business Empire, and the five major forces were not to be provoked. The older ones could be challenged, but for safety reasons, Wang Jinlong had ordered not to clash with the surface forces. Although the Yun Kingdom was high above, its overall strength was not that strong. After all, it did not follow the mainstream practice route. Therefore, Wang Qishen shook his head. He recognized that flag.

"There are so many carriages on the road, we can't check them all, just keep an eye out."

The entourage looked at each other and nodded. Wang Qishen was right. Moreover, Xia Xiao's route should be with the Great Elder. They only needed to be on guard against the reversers. As for the team heading north, there was no need to worry too much. Facing the wind, the entourage asked questions that they had been unable to figure out, hoping to get an explanation.

"Master Divine Envoy, why do you think Xia Xiao ran to the north?"

"He is now at the end of his rope. Daxia can't accommodate him, and the church and the academy are too lazy to deal with such a person. He can only run to the most sparsely populated place to survive."

"Then why does he keep provoking us? I really can't understand what he is thinking."

In the eyes of everyone, the God's messenger is better than themselves because he has purer blood and is very powerful. At this time, Wang Qishen interpreted the intelligence of a God's messenger, speaking in an orderly manner, which was admirable.

"He dared to kill Wang Yaping, which is enough to prove that he is a lunatic who does not care about the consequences. I have overestimated him, but we are strong now. He is so crazy that he will only die."

Wang Qishen wanted to kill Xia Xiao five or six times, but if the latter heard what he said, he would definitely laugh out loud. He was indeed a little crazy. If it weren't for the special situation, he wouldn't take such a risk, but everything he did at this time was to make himself fall into crisis more naturally. When the Yun people completely surrounded him, Hei Huang would appear. He was making his own calculations, but Wang Jinlong also smelled the smell that kept floating in the air and groped for it.
