Besieged
The three of them found a cave to rest. Cong Mo arranged a formation and made a simple barrier. He and Xi Chengming took turns guarding the cave. Leng Can was responsible for feeding the two of them. "This piece of meat has more meat, give it to Xiao Mo. This piece of fat has more meat, give it to Xi Chengming."
Xi Chengming: “…”
So open and aboveboard?
Leng Can ignored his look and took a bite of meat each.
"You brought other magic weapons with you. How can you possibly fit so many things in there?"
"Bah... Xiao Mo, you framed me! I didn't break any rules." Leng Can showed her his new clothes. "This is the new clothes that my senior brother made for me. The sleeves can hold five layers of lunch boxes. My senior brother must feel sorry for me, hey... He made it especially for me."
"I know you love to eat." Xi Chengming laughed at him, "You can't control your mouth."
"Xi Chengming, you ate and still cursed your mother."
"I'm just giving an objective evaluation, how could it be..."
"Yes, you just have bad intentions..."
"I didn't, please don't..."
"Stop making trouble." Cong Mo had no choice but to interrupt the two of them. "You should get some rest quickly. There's only one day and one night left."
"Tsk... Ah Mo, call me when the time comes." Xi Chengming pulled Leng Can over, "Stop making noise."
"You!" Leng Can glanced at Cong Mo, determined not to argue with him. "Forget it, we can't quarrel."
"Wait until the game is over before arguing."
"You will definitely lose then."
In the middle of the night, Cong Moding closed his eyes at the entrance of the cave to rest, while Leng Can and Xi Chengming leaned against each other and slept soundly.
There was a rustling sound outside the cave. Cong Mo slowly opened his eyes and smelled the rich scent of grass.
It's a spiritual beast.
It is also a spiritual beast that has been practicing for a long time.
She woke Xi Chengming up and said, "I'm going to go out and take a look. You take good care of Leng Can."
Before Xi Chengming could answer, she left.
The spirit beast was too close to them.
Normally, no spiritual beast would be willing to approach humans on their own initiative. Most spiritual beasts are gentle and kind and do not like to fight with humans. In this case, Cong Mo was a little confused about the purpose of the spiritual beast approaching them.
Cong Mo stretched out the index and middle fingers of each hand, pressed the tips of his index and middle fingers together, and clasped his thumbs downwards, forming a triangle in the middle. Cong Mo closed his eyes, and then immediately opened them, separating his hands, and a magic circle appeared in his hands.
She looked around vigilantly, following the scent, and soon saw a piece of pink tail exposed among the green bushes. The spirit beast seemed to sense the movement behind it. With a rustling of grass and trees, the spirit beast turned around and looked at her.
Cong Mo saw its beautiful round eyes, sparkling and seeming to contain tears.
The spirit beast didn't even try to hide.
"What do you want to do?" Cong Mo clenched her right fist, the formation mixed in her palm. She extended her thumb and pressed it against the center of the spirit beast's forehead through the void. "You can tell me."
With this spell, Cong Mo can communicate with her in his spiritual consciousness.
"Your child is in my basket." She stroked the soft fur of the spirit beast. "Those two set a trap and caught it. You agreed to do Master Shuyi a favor in exchange for something, but you didn't expect the child to get hurt."
The spirit beast could understand her words and nodded vigorously.
"Its leg is seriously injured and needs treatment as soon as possible. Do you want to save it?"
The spirit beast cried "Ah Wu" and rubbed her palm, as if in response.
"Okay." Cong Mo opened his palm and gently covered its head. "I need to know what it looks like."
The image of the spirit beast quickly emerged in Cong Mo's mind. He opened the basket and pulled out a small spirit beast in a short while. The small spirit beast was still struggling stubbornly, but when it saw the big spirit beast, its tears couldn't help but fall. Cong Mo put it on the ground, and the small spirit beast limped and threw itself into the arms of the big spirit beast.
Cong Mo knew that there was a family relationship between them, but she had neither the root of love nor the experience of family love. Looking at the two spirit beasts snuggling together, she could not stir up any ripples in her heart. She grabbed the little spirit beast, placed it in the palm of her hand, and transferred her spiritual power to heal the wound on its leg.
The little spirit beast rubbed against her lazily, as if it was acting coquettishly.
"Even though I let it out, it doesn't mean I'll let you go." Cong Mo squatted on the stone and watched the two spirit beasts being intimate. "Since I helped you, you should help me."
The big spirit beast didn't hesitate and nodded vigorously twice.
"Aren't you afraid that I want to harm you?" Cong Mo didn't expect it to agree so readily and was a little surprised.
The big spirit beast shook its head, rubbed her hand and put it on its head. The meaning was obvious, it wanted her to talk to it.
Cong Mo heard,
"Thank you."
"You won't harm us. You smell sweet, like a kind person."
"Smell!" Cong Mo immediately grabbed the collar and sniffed, "No smell, what else are you talking about?"
The big spirit beast blinked, innocent and naive.
"Forget it." Cong Mo said calmly, "I'll give you two choices. You and your child go into the Doulou, and I'll release you after the game is over, or I force you into the Doulou, and I'll release you after the game is over."
"I won't treat you unfairly."
A voice interrupted, and Leng Can poked his head out from the side, the freckles on his cheeks dancing with his smile. Xi Chengming poked his head out next, looking at her embarrassedly, "He insisted on coming out, I, I couldn't stop him."
"It was obviously you who couldn't stay. You came out after just a few words." Leng Can took out two pieces of osmanthus cake from his pocket. "The scenery here is beautiful and the fragrance of flowers is pleasant. I'd like to treat you to some osmanthus cake. It's made with osmanthus flowers. You should like it."
The two spirit beasts took a bite of the cake in his hand and put it into their mouths.
"So cute." The spirit beasts in Xi Chengming's basket were all picked up from Cong Mo. When he was so close to them, the cute pink fur of the spirit beasts touched his heart. He slowly approached and stroked them carefully.
"It's hard for you, such a strong man likes cute things." Leng Can teased him.
"Isn't it possible?" Xi Chengming put the little spirit beast in his hand and asked Leng Can for another piece of dessert.
"Don't be too obsessed." Cong Mo patted his shoulder. "They are things from the fantasy world and cannot be brought into the real world. Even if they have independent consciousness, they are ultimately imaginary creations."
"Of course I know." Xi Chengming lowered his head sadly.
Leng Can hurriedly went back to the original scene, "It's okay, it's okay. This is an illusion created by the old man Shu Yi. You can come in often. Besides, the game won't end until tomorrow. You can still spend the day with them. Why are you so sad so early?"
"You are quite comforting." Xi Chengming said.
Leng Can bumped into Cong Mo's arm and winked at her frantically.
Cong Mo just leaned to the side and asked, "Do your eyes hurt?"
Leng Can: "..."
In the end, Xi Chengming took the two spirit beasts, one big and one small, in. He put the big one into the basket and held the small one in his arms. He smiled so hard that his teeth were visible, and the fierce smell on his body was much less.
The capture of spirit beasts is still in progress. They catch them as they go, which is much better than the thrilling situation in the Sword Mountain Competition.
The competition soon reached the afternoon of the second day, with two hours left until the end of the competition.
[There are still two hours until the end of the competition. Here's the latest update: Fifty people have been eliminated. Five people have over seven hundred spirit beasts. Twenty people have over five hundred to seven hundred spirit beasts. And there are over three hundred to five hundred and two hundred spirit beasts. Please continue to work hard and complete your comeback in the final moments.]
At the last moment, Cong Mo and the other two were surrounded on the road.
Their purpose was too clear. Cong Mo and Xi Chengming stood on the left and right, surrounding Leng Can in the middle.
There were about ten people on the other side, and it was unclear what their purpose was except wanting to rob them.
Cong Mo looked at them without showing any fear. "What do you want to do?"
"It's obvious. Are you stupid? Can't you see it?" It was the man that Cong Mo knocked down yesterday. He stood in the middle of a group of people and shouted to them triumphantly. He didn't have any of the pitiful look that he had last night when he needed to be supported by a woman. Instead, he was very imposing.
"Of course I can tell!" Leng Can couldn't stand being scolded by others. He supported the two men's shoulders, stared at him and scolded him back, "You are trying to stop us by unfair means. This is not the style of the fairy mountain. Sooner or later, you will be driven down the mountain!"
No curse words were said, but the sarcasm was obvious.
"Zizi!" The man gritted his teeth and looked at them as if they were enemies. "You really don't want to live anymore."
He pointed at Xi Chengming and said bluntly, "Brother, if you had come here now, we could have spared your life! It's best to understand the situation clearly instead of helping the side branch."
"Spare my life, hahaha..." Xi Chengming mocked him. "Junior brother, you really are overthinking it. You should be begging for mercy now. With your level of skill, you might not be able to defeat us, let alone the people from Wuqing Mountain. Even I, you might not be able to defeat them."
"Brother, such bold statements are not a good idea! We already have you in numbers. More people are better than fewer. No matter what, you are no match."
"Then you are really wrong, Xi Chengming, stop talking nonsense." Cong Mo formed a magic circle with his hands and tied it around Leng Can's waist. He wrapped him around himself and prepared for battle. "Xiao Can, don't move."
"good!"
Following Leng Can's response, both sides immediately rushed forward and started fighting.
The originally good weather turned into dark clouds and black ink as their battle began. The entire sky was covered tightly, magic spells were intertwined, and slogans rang out.
They had obviously thought of a countermeasure early on. Seeing that dispersing and surrounding them would not only fail to cause any harm to Cong Mo and Xi Chengming, but would also result in themselves being injured, with a "group" command, more than ten people immediately gathered together, changed their formation, and spread out in a fan shape, vaguely surrounding Cong Mo and the others.
Xi Chengming quickly saw their intention. "They want to trap us, use magic locks to bind us like a cage. Once the formation is formed, it will be difficult to break free."
"If that's the case, then don't let it form." Cong Mo reached behind him, untied the restraints around Leng Can's waist, and then untied his own knuckles and threw them to him, "Xi Chengming, throw the knuckles to Xiao Can!"
"good!"
