Chapter 232: The Fox Tribe’s Paradise
"The second one on the west side, the third one on the east side!" Xu Chuchu shouted, "Jump immediately after throwing it!"
The masked man did as he was told and just as he jumped up, a stone pillar suddenly protruded from the stone wall beside him and brushed past his feet.
Then two more vertical ones came towards us.
"There's more behind you!" Xu Chuchu warned, "Get down!"
They had to get through between the two stone pillars, and they had to be very accurate, not too high or too low. This was why Xu Chuchu didn't let Daju come.
If the distance is not controlled well, two people will be skewered and barbecued.
The masked man leaned forward, and Xu Chuchu followed suit, clinging tightly to his back, not daring to look up. The distance between the two stone pillars was too narrow. If she hadn't been in poor health recently and lost a lot of weight, she might have lost a layer of flesh!
At this critical moment, the masked man below suddenly turned over, pulled Xu Chuchu under him, pressed his upper body tightly against her, and put his arms on her back.
Xu Chuchu rested her head on the man's shoulder, watching the stone pillar pass by the back of the man's head.
Only half a fingernail's distance away.
That was a close call...
After landing, the man put her on his back again, pointed at the two people's heads, and then pointed at his shoulders.
Xu Chuchu understood instantly. What he meant was that if he carried the person on his back, his head would be much higher and might be scratched by the stone pillar.
If you hug each other, the two people will put their heads on each other's shoulders, and their bodies will be much narrower.
"I see. Thank you very much."
Xu Chuchu was not only grateful for his quick thinking, but also for the reason why he held her in his arms.
With that posture just now, even if something went wrong, whether it was too high or too low, the only one who would get hurt would be the masked man.
The two continued forward and encountered several second-stage formations, but they were all resolved without any danger and successfully reached the other side.
Traces of sand were left along the way, and the large group followed in a line. Everyone was very cautious with every step, and nothing went wrong.
"Huh, I'm so nervous that my legs are weak after walking all the way." Taoist Master Tian was fanning himself with his breath.
Gigi snorted, "Why are you so nervous? My senior sister didn't even complain."
"You little brat, you argue with me every time I say something. You can't even lift a bamboo pole!" Taoist Tian scolded.
However, ignoring the two bickering people, everyone looked nervously in the direction ahead.
After passing through the stone forest, they came to a deep and dense forest. There were so many mechanisms ahead. What difficulties were waiting for them this time?
The masked man used his spiritual power to protect himself, took the lead and walked a few steps inside, turned his head to look around, and then stopped moving, as if he was stunned by what he saw.
"How is it, Lao Wu, what's inside?" Zui Wuqing asked anxiously.
"Boss, you forgot that Lao Wu can't speak." Zui Hongyan covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Don't be impatient."
The masked man looked for a while, then turned around and waved to everyone. It seemed that everyone was safe.
Xu Chuchu and his master followed first, and couldn't help but marvel at what they saw.
Here... this is no longer a trap full of dangers, but a rare paradise!
There are tall trees, tender grass and flowers here. The sunlight shines through the branches and leaves of the trees and shines on the ground, creating a mottled and interesting scene.
Foxes of all sizes can be seen playing everywhere, and the sound of a stream trickling in the distance makes people feel better unconsciously.
Soon a few little foxes noticed their presence and gathered around curiously to look them up and down. The bold ones even came close to their trouser legs to smell their scent.
They have never seen humans and don't even have natural enemies, so they are not afraid.
Now everyone was sure that they had truly arrived at the fox demon's territory. This was the home built by the fox clan in the mountains. Protected by towering mountains and layers of institutions, it was the fox's own territory.
"I'm so envious." Daju sighed, "We cat demons aren't so united."
While everyone was still marveling at the thought, Chen Zhaozhi felt the urge to run away.
As a result, just as he quietly took two steps back, the third and fourth of the Five Drunken Brothers grabbed him back and held him hostage, one on the left and one on the right.
It was unknown whether they could get out of Fox Mountain, but if Chen Zhaozhi ran away, this trip would be completely wasted, so they had to subdue him until the last moment.
Everyone was hungry and thirsty, so they decided to walk along the stream to the lake.
Firstly, there is water and food by the lake, which can be used for temporary supplies, and secondly, you won’t get lost.
There were also various kinds of fruits growing in this forest, but they had never seen them before and did not dare to eat them.
The journey to the lake was peaceful. We encountered many foxes on the way, but they were just ordinary foxes. We didn't even see a fox demon. Everyone speculated that the fox demon must live deeper in the jungle.
After arriving at the lake, everyone couldn't wait to drink water, light a fire and catch fish.
Xu Chuchu washed her hands and face immediately and felt a lot refreshed.
At this time, Big Orange finally came into play. He transformed into a cat and lay quietly by the lake. As long as a fish floated up, he would catch one with one claw, saving humans the effort of going into the water to fish.
Several people who had survived in the wild quietly began to grill fish and cook fish soup. Although it was not seasoned, it was quickly devoured.
The masked man also took off his veil when eating fish, but he kept his back to everyone. According to Zui Hongyan, he had his face disfigured in his early years, so he didn't want people to see his face.
Soon, night fell. Everyone lit a fire and rested beside it. On the surface, it was warm and harmonious, but everyone had their own thoughts.
"Let's go our separate ways starting tomorrow," Taoist Priest Tian suggested. "If the female Taoist priest wants to take her disciples inside, she can go inside. The rest of us won't follow."
"That's good, so you won't run into any danger if you follow us." The master nodded in agreement.
Zui Wuqing asked, "Then how do we get out?"
"What else can we do? We'll find the way if we keep searching along this area." Taoist Tian was unsure himself and sighed, "Anyway, there are no fox demons in this area, so it's safe for now."
Zui Wuqing didn't respond. His eyes rolled around and then fell on Xu Chuchu without any expression.
Xu Chuchu noticed it immediately, but deliberately lowered her head to look at her toes, pretending she was unaware.
If she guessed correctly, Zui Wuqing was not sure if he could get out, so he wanted to force her, the one who was the best at breaking formations and knowing the way, to lead the way.
She has the greatest ability and no cultivation, making her the easiest to control. Coercing her is equivalent to subduing the masters.
And it's not just Zui Wuqing, Chen Zhaozhi won't just sit there and wait for death.
Once they parted ways, Chen Zhaozhi's fate was to be divided up, with his inner elixir going to Taoist Tian and his life going to the five drunken brothers.
So tonight is destined to be a restless night. At least two people will take action, and it is still unknown who will win.
