Chapter 175 The Group Journey Begins
Chapter 175 The Group Journey Begins
When I saw Zhiyan again, she was accompanied by Jianjian.
It has to be said that Jianjian is really good at clinging to someone's coattails. She kept holding onto Zhiyan's clothes, hiding behind her and sticking close to her.
As powerful as the young master of the Fire Fox Sect, he naturally possesses the absolute strength to protect a human girl.
"So, she slaughtered half the village?" Lu He exclaimed after listening to Nagi's vivid description of Zhiyan's abduction of the bride.
"So reckless? That's a human life..." Lu He couldn't help but feel a little scared of the laws of this world.
These monstrous beasts can turn the world upside down with a flick of their wrists, taking lives at will; a moment's carelessness can mean certain death.
She glanced at Zhiyan. When she was reading the comics before, this guy had almost no rivals in the early stages. It was precisely because of her help that the male protagonist, Tan You, was able to walk sideways all the time.
"Sister, my father and mother's belongings..." Jianjian pouted, looking a little aggrieved.
Her eyes were already red after hearing Tan You and Lu He's report to everyone; this was her only remaining thought in the world.
"We will definitely help you find it! Believe me, we demon beasts always repay kindness!" Tan You vowed.
"A favor? What favor have I done for you?" Jianjian clearly didn't recognize that this silver-haired boy was the same little white cat from before.
"Uh, I am..." Tan You was about to explain when he suddenly remembered that Jian Jian had taken him to take a bath and sleep together before. He blushed with embarrassment and found it difficult to speak.
Others might not know this, but Lu He, who had read the comic, did. She watched Tan You blush and chuckle.
"I, I..." He stammered for a long time without being able to speak.
"Anyway, you saved him before. You often rescue small animals in the mountains, right? Maybe there are too many to remember." Lu He suppressed a laugh and smoothed things over for Tan You.
"Yes, yes, that's it." Tan You wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"So, are you Tuantuan? Or Dangdang? Or Xiaocui, or...?"
Not only Tan You, but Lu He had never heard of any of these names.
Seeing that she was determined to get to the bottom of things, Tan You casually claimed one: "Tuantuan..."
"Ah, you're Tuantuan?" Jianjian's eyes lit up immediately. She had just been hiding behind Zhiyan, only peeking out to talk to Tan You, but now she came out and got closer to Tan You.
Tan You thought that the name Tuantuan probably sounded like a furry little animal like a rabbit.
"It's you, Little Mudskipper!" Jianjian came over, grabbed Tan You, and spun him around, looking him up and down. "I never expected you to be so beautiful after turning into a human! You were so ugly as a mudskipper before!"
Hmm? A loach?
Not only was Tan You stunned, but Lu He, who was standing to the side, was also stunned.
No, sis, you'll save anyone? You're not picky at all?
"Why did you save the loach?" Even Nagi couldn't help but ask.
"He was almost dried out by the sun on the ground..."
"That's not the point..." Tan You interrupted the pointless conversation with a helpless expression.
"In short, just remember that I will repay you and I will definitely help you find your parents' belongings."
"That merchant you just mentioned, could it be the half-demon beast who does reselling business between Spirit Beast Mountain and Wanqing Mountain?" Xiao Jiu suddenly asked.
"How do you know about the merchants outside?" Zhiyan hadn't expected that her good-for-nothing younger brother would know about things outside.
"Because I often pester Uncle Yuzhen to tell me about the outside world." Zhiyan also knew the person Xiao Jiu was talking about; he was the person from Baibuqiu who traveled the most outside.
"So he's met that half-demon merchant?"
"Yes, because Uncle Yuzhen said that he had seen so much in his life, but he had only ever met one half-demon beast who frequently traveled between Spirit Beast Mountain and Wanqing Mountain. He actually went to human territory to work as a merchant. Because he was the only one, he was very rare and left a deep impression on him."
Xiao Jiu spoke with great seriousness.
"Uncle Yuzhen said that the merchant's hometown is Wanqingshan, and he usually lives in the bamboo forest at the foot of Wanqingshan."
"I didn't expect you to be able to come up with such useful information." Zhiyan raised an eyebrow and pulled Jianjian to her side: "Then I'll take her to get her things back."
"I'll go too!" Tan You immediately raised her hand.
"Then me too!" Lu He quickly followed.
Although Nagi was a few beats slower, she immediately stood beside Zhiyan and indicated that she wanted to go with her.
"What are you all doing here? I can handle this by myself." Zhiyan clearly disliked these burdens, especially Tan You.
Hehe, that's great! The young master of the Fire Fox has a terrible first impression of the male lead, and he has developed a possessive desire for Jian Jian, so he will naturally become more hostile to the male lead without realizing it.
She probably won't fall in love with the male lead, Tan You.
Lu He was very satisfied.
Seeing how protective Zhiyan is of Jianjian, and how much Jianjian relies on Zhiyan, one can't help but ship the mature woman and the sweet girl as a couple.
I love these kinds of harem-themed storylines.
Lu He secretly rejoiced and thanked God.
"Of course I have to repay the debt of gratitude! I must go!" Tan You said defiantly.
"Yes, yes, we can't let him get away. Miss Zhiyan, don't forget the task the Fox King assigned you." Lu He quickly reminded her.
Zhiyan thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense. The original purpose of this trip was to find Tan You, this villain. Rather than letting him escape, it was better to keep him by her side and keep an eye on him.
"Thank you for reminding me, Miss Qinwu. I understand. You may all go with me."
In any case, the group was temporarily formed: a level 14 high-level demon beast, two level 8 demon beasts with decent strength, a protagonist with a halo, a useless cub, and a human girl who couldn't even kill a chicken.
What a standard cast of comic book protagonists!
This is really strange. Aren't I the villain? How come I'm on the same team as the protagonist?
Lu He was full of questions. Putting everything else aside, besides her, the villain, the only other original characters in the comic were Zhiyan and Jianjian. She didn't even know which panel Nagi and Xiao Jiu had appeared in.
"Don't just stand there, Xiao Jiu, take us to Wan Qingshan!" Zhi Yan commanded.
Without saying a word, Xiao Jiu transformed into a giant beast, seven or eight meters long and tens of meters tall, with long ears like two light white feathers, perched high on the head of the red fox.
There was a tuft of white downy hair on his forehead, like a forehead wrinkle.
Xiao Jiu's entire body still has the characteristic red fur of a flaming fox, except for its long and fluffy tail.
Its enormous tail is entirely snow-white with red stripes, making it look extremely majestic.
The red eyes were as big as lanterns, and the demonic cracks around the corners of the eyes looked quite terrifying.
A row of sharp teeth, surrounded by swirling white smoke, it seemed capable of easily biting through all kinds of swords and weapons from the human world.
You can hardly see any rabbit blood in it; it's more like a red and white hybrid fox.
With a single hand, Zhiyan carried Jianjian in a princess carry and mounted the giant fox mount. Excited and curious, Jianjian sat in Zhiyan's arms, stroking the fox's fur.
"You two hurry up and get on, let's go!"
"Does Xiao Jiu know the way?" Nagi asked somewhat seriously after she sat down.
"Judging from the description, they should have been heading north..." It seems Xiao Jiu wasn't sure either.
At times like this, you have to rely on players who can cheat! Lu He proudly straightened his chest: "I know the way. Let me sit on your head, and I'll show you the way!"
"Pah! You think you can sit on my head?" Xiao Jiu was unhappy, but Zhi Yan glared at her and she didn't dare to say anything more.
Opening the internal visual map, everything was clear at a glance. Lu He climbed onto Xiao Jiu's flat fox head and sat down, grabbing his ears with both hands: "Let's go~"
