Chapter 224 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Luo Li and the others did not choose to stay in the outermost circle this time, but took Mo Yizhou to the middle area of the team.
Mo Yizhou was somewhat reluctant, but finally he sat down obediently beside the tent that Song Wanbai had set up.
Bei Mingyu thought for a moment and said calmly, "Then I'll share a tent with Azhou tonight."
Luo Li nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll let Barrett keep watch nearby."
Song Wanbai suggested, "Then let's each have a tent tonight. Aze and I, Xiaoli and Shuxue."
Luo Li and the others naturally had no objection and nodded immediately, "Okay, this is safer."
In the center of the camp, the Liang family disciples had already lit a bonfire, and those disciples with good cooking skills began to cook vigorously.
But in a moment, the fragrance filled the air, and Mu Ze instantly showed a greedy look, and rushed to the side of the Liang family disciples without stopping, "Brother, this smells too good."
As Mu Ze showered himself with compliments, the Liang family disciples scratched their heads with innocent smiles on their faces. "Glad you like it, I'll serve you a big bowl later!"
Mu Ze nodded with sparkling eyes, "Okay!"
Luo Li and the others laughed and shook their heads, then moved their noses. It smelled really good.
I really want to bring these people back to the imperial capital, so that we can have endless delicious food to eat every day!
Luo Li blinked, came back to her senses, glanced at Mo Yizhou who was sitting on the ground with a melancholy look on his face, and said, "Azhou, what are you thinking about?"
Mo Yizhou's face was rarely filled with a trace of worry. "I was wondering what that monster saw in me. Can't I change it?"
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and laughed out loud, "You look so sad here, is that what you are thinking about?"
Mo Yizhou looked up at Luo Li with resentment and said sadly, "This is very important! It's too hard to live without fighting and just sit there every day!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better not let me catch it! Otherwise I won't let it go!"
Luo Li and the others chuckled softly. It seemed that Mo Yizhou was indeed full of resentment and his personality was distorted a lot. He talked more in the past few days than he did in the previous month.
Luo Li and the others were chatting here, while Mu Ze had prepared their meal. He used his spiritual power to support the bottom of the bowl and ran over in small steps.
After Mu Ze stood still, he said with a silly smile, "What are you talking about? The food is here!"
Luo Li and the others took them one by one and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aze."
Mu Ze waved his hand and sat down on the grass, "It's okay, it's okay, eat quickly!"
After eating and drinking, everyone went into the tents to rest because they would enter the central area tomorrow. The camp became quiet for a while.
Luo Li and the others stopped chatting and went into the tent in pairs.
After entering the tent, Luo Li released Barrett and instructed him, "Help keep watch tonight and pay special attention to Azhou."
Barrett nodded casually, stood up and walked out of the tent, leaving behind a sentence in the wind, "Okay, got it."
Luo Li shook her head helplessly. Forget it. Overall, Barrett is still very reliable.
After Barrett left, An Shuxue relaxed his straight back, patted his chest and said, "Master Barrett's aura is too powerful!"
Luo Li patted her head and said, "Okay, it's late, go get some rest."
An Shuxue chuckled, "I know!"
Luo Li lay down on the soft quilt, her mind full of thoughts, and fell into a light sleep.
Barrett sat on a branch above the camp, one leg casually hanging in the air, the other bent with a branch between his fingertips, his arm casually resting on his knee.
His spiritual sense surrounded the entire camp, and no movement around could escape his ears.
Barrett's eyes fell on the three tents below. After thinking for a while, he put on two protective shields and leaned against the tree trunk with confidence.
late at night.
In the bushes not far away, the pair of crimson eyes suddenly appeared. It looked up at the man on the tree with fear, and tried even harder to restrain its breath.
Greed and fear intertwined in its unclear eyes. Its bright red tongue lolled out as it gazed greedily at the tent in the middle of the camp...
"who!"
Barrett sensed a faint and strange aura. He stood up and unleashed the might of the Nine-Star Super Divine Beast towards the nearby bushes without reservation.
Luo Li, who had been sleeping lightly, suddenly woke up. She quickly stood up and walked out of the tent. "What's wrong?"
Some of the Liang family members woke up as well. "What happened?! Are monsters attacking the camp?!"
Luo Li gritted her teeth, turned her head and asked again, "Barrett, what is it?"
Barrett's hand flashed with lightning, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems to be what you discussed during the day."
Luo Li's eyes fell on the struggling black unknown object. She took a deep breath, summoned Xiao Liu, and let him transform into his original form and lie on her shoulder.
She clasped her hands together and quietly practiced the Burning Heaven Technique, approaching the monster that was temporarily controlled by Barrett step by step.
As he walked, he said, "Shuxue, let them go back."
An Shuxue and the others also ran out and went directly to comfort the Liang family disciples and let them return to the tent. However, they almost listened to their words and wanted to look at Luo Li through Bei Mingyu and the others.
Bei Mingyu walked directly in front of Liang Yun and said, "I hope Master Liang can help me."
Liang Yun's heavy gaze fell on Barrett, who had almost merged into the darkness, and nodded, "Okay."
"Go back!" Liang Yun gave the order, and all the Liang family disciples immediately returned to the tents. "What? I didn't see anything clearly. How boring."
Bei Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Patriarch Liang."
The head of the Liang family waved his hand and said, "It's no problem, it's just a piece of cake."
Several elders also returned to the tent under Liang Yun's command. Now, apart from Luo Li and the others, Liang Yun was the only one still outside the camp.
Luo Li was already close to that thing at this time, with the golden light of Burning Heaven Technique flashing around her body. Barrett and Xiao Liu protected Luo Li to prevent any accidents.
Bei Mingyu and the others looked at Luo Li and the others worriedly, knowing that if they went over, they would probably cause more trouble, so they could only stay not far away anxiously to protect Mo Yizhou beside them.
Luo Li walked up to the ball of black mist and said in a deep voice, "What are you?"
The black mist ball raised its head in an instant, a triumphant smile on its face. Its ferocious red eyes locked onto Luo Li, and it spoke incoherently, "Die..."
Under Luo Li's vigilance and the protection of the Burning Heaven Art, Luo Li did not fall into its trap this time. Instead, she saw its true face clearly.
What so-called facial features were they? Luo Li could see clearly at this time that except for the eyes and mouth, the rest of the so-called facial features were made of black mist.
It seemed to be stunned, and let out a hoarse roar, "Why, why!"
The wisdom it still has is obviously not enough for it to figure out why some people can escape its erosion.
It flew up, angrily broke free from Barrett's restraints, and was about to pounce on Luo Li.
