The reaction of the silly roe deer was like a big basin of cold water, pouring on us.
In the wilderness, in the middle of the night, a guest came to serve food, what good could it be?
Brother Yaozi's face darkened, staring at the silly roe deer back and forth, his eyes flickering, and I don't know what he was thinking.
Qiye, who has always had a low emotional intelligence, had a rare vision at this time. It seemed that he smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air. He changed his position silently and appeared behind the silly roe deer. He twisted the bowstring with one hand and picked up an arrow with the other hand and sniffed it gently...
The old man squatted on the ground, smoking a dry pipe, but he was holding the old gun in his arms. The iron beans poured into the barrel "clattering", and a series of crisp sounds fell down. It was not pleasant, but it sounded a bit like a death note.
The atmosphere was so solemn that it was suffocating.
But this silly roe deer seemed to be really stupid, and had no feeling about it. It raised its big head and grinned. Its two big teeth reflected a cold white light under the swaying light of the campfire.
It was not afraid at all, but to us, it seemed to have something to rely on.
After staring at it for a while, Brother Yaozi chuckled and used his dagger to pull the cloth bag in front of us. After searching for a while, he picked out a cleaned flying bird, stabbed it with a knife, and hung it over the campfire to burn. He chuckled to himself and said, "You are sincere. As the saying goes, dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. If we talk about delicious food, this flying dragon is naturally the best. But it's a pity. This thing is very delicious when stewed in soup. Roasting it like this will waste a good thing."
After saying that, Brother Yaozi concentrated on roasting the flying dragon on the tip of the knife. It was not big and the meat looked quite delicate. It was roasted to a golden brown soon. He handed it to me casually.
I looked at Brother Yaozi in confusion, and he just smiled and nodded. I felt relieved and tried to take two bites. Unfortunately, it was not as delicious as the legend said. I guess it was because I ate it the wrong way. It was roasted dry, not as good as the heavily salted air-dried beef. I thought it was bland and tasteless, so I threw it aside.
Brother Yaozi glanced at the flying dragon on the ground, and turned his eyes to the silly roe deer again: "You have eaten the food, you can't have a mouth full of oil without knowing whose food it is. Let the one who gave the gift come out, sit down and talk about it."
The silly roe deer laughed silly, and pointed a big hoof at Brother Yaozi in the air, as if to say - young man, I admire you.
I was amused by this roe deer. At best, this thing has just opened up a little intelligence, and it can't be considered a monster. I guess I can chop it alive with a knife, but it actually pretended to be a big clove of garlic in front of us.
I saw Brother Yaozi's eyes twitched a few times. I guess being appreciated and praised by a silly roe deer must be a unique feeling!
"Pa pa..."
A crisp applause came from behind me.
I was startled. I had no idea before. I turned around hurriedly, but saw a human-shaped black shadow slowly coming out of the darkness on the dark wasteland, clapping as he walked.
The other party seemed to belong to the darkness. Wherever there is darkness, it can manifest at will.
Soon, the black shadow came closer. After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, my breathing became a little faster, and I subconsciously grasped the Tianguan Blade.
This is an old fox as tall as an adult.
However, the other party was too old, and the fur all over his body was a strange grayish white, and there were many bald spots. At first glance, he looked like a patient with alopecia areata. Many places showed pink flesh, and he staggered when he walked, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
We knew that the one who came in the middle of the night must not be a good person, but we never thought it would be this person!
For a moment, everyone was as if they were facing a great enemy and were restless.
The old fox held a cloth bag in his hand, walked to the campfire tremblingly and sat down, panting violently, and sighed sadly: "I'm old and useless. I can't even walk a few steps!"
I thought, maybe it was hiding the secrets of heaven and suffered a backlash?
As for useless, it's completely bullshit. It made hundreds of people restless day and night. Who dares to underestimate this master?
The Seventh Master had already drawn his bow, and Zhang Xinya also stood up, with two pupils in her eyes. It was obvious that the Wanniang in her body could not remain calm and came out to calm the situation.
However, Brother Yaozi stretched out his arm to stop them.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I have no ill will towards you."
The old fox's head drooped slightly, and his voice was weak, as if he was about to die. He looked at me with his green eyes, with a complicated look, and sighed: "I think there may be some misunderstandings between us, and I accidentally hurt this little brother. I came here this time to apologize to this little brother. I hope that the little brother can forgive me."
After saying that, it took off the cloth bag on its body and gently pushed it forward, the meaning was self-evident.
"Accidental injury? That sounds better than singing!"
Lao Bai shouted: "You blew my brother's face into pieces. Can you solve this problem by just giving him some gifts? Don't fiddle with these junks. My brother is priceless! Uh... Shit, are these all for us?"
The old fox silently opened the cloth bag. For a moment, golden light flashed, and it was full of fist-sized gold nuggets.
Lao Bai spoke righteously at first, scolding angrily, as if he could not be moved by poverty and humbleness, but in a blink of an eye, his eyes almost popped out, and he reached for the cloth bag with trembling hands, glancing at the old fox: "Let me check it?"
The long hair on the old fox's head trembled slightly, and the fur twitched, as if he was smiling, and nodded silently.
Lao Bai grabbed a piece of gold at lightning speed, without asking where it came from or whether it was clean. He stuffed it into his mouth and bit it. When he looked up, his eyes were full of bloodshot and he murmured, "It's real..."
No wonder he was like that. This was real gold and silver. The old fox had a whole bundle of gold, which was priceless. I have never seen so much gold in my life. To be honest, even if we were to sell all of us to the meat processing factory, it would not be worth so much!
"Take it if you like it. Just consider it an apology."
The old fox smiled this time, with green light flashing in his eyes, like two ghost lights, and said faintly, "I have a lot of things like this. How many do you want? Just tell me the number and I will give it to you with both hands!"
I have been observing this old fox. Its intention is very obvious. I can guess it with my eyes closed.
As expected, the old fox followed closely and said with his head down, "I have noticed you since you stepped into this place. You have been repeating two words - mission. It seems that you are also doing things for money. Although I am not a human, I also know the rules of human beings. I will give you some money. I only ask you to turn a blind eye and go home at dawn tomorrow. Why fight to the death? To use a phrase you people often say, it is called harmony brings wealth!"
"It is afraid!"
I sighed softly in my heart.
It seems that it is useless to be tough, so it just does this.
It does not mean that it can't beat us, but... We have found the key to the problem. It is afraid that we will touch the tomb!
I have to admit that this old fox is really willing to spend a lot of money. Such a large pile of gold is placed in front of it. It is simple and crude, which is really hard to refuse.
In the commercial society, real money and silver, who doesn't love it?
Unfortunately, I am afraid that I will be able to get the money but not spend it. I am not as conscious as my master, and I can't really say that I have a good relationship with Qi Ye. However, there is also a Tianmeng involved in this matter. It is impossible for all of them to jump into the fire pit because of greed.
Therefore, I chose to remain silent for the olive branch extended by the old fox, and just silently clenched the Tianguan Blade with great force, and the bulge on it pierced my palm.
Qi Ye was already anxious. He couldn't take out such a thing, and immediately shouted loudly: "Several masters, you can't ignore us. Hundreds of lives cannot be lost!"
Brother Yaozi, who had been silent all the time, spoke up, raised his head and looked at the old fox, and whispered: "Remove the means of deceiving the secrets of heaven, send the captured people back, both sides have casualties, and this matter is over, and we will not interfere with each other from now on. We will take the money and go home tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we will see the truth under our hands."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a hammer falling to the ground, setting the tone.
However, the old fox did not give a direct answer. Instead, he looked up at the dense forest covered in silver in the distance and sighed: "Some things, once they start, can't be stopped..."
Its eyes flickered, and it looked more and more seductive and weird.
"Falling out!"
I cried out in my heart and jumped up. The Tianguan Blade had already been awakened by me. The Baipi Knife hidden in my arms flashed with cold light and slashed at the old fox.
The long knife penetrated the opponent's body and chopped on the ground with a "clang", sparks flying.
The old fox turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.
Fake?
Yes, this old fox was cunning and suffered backlash from the way of heaven. How dare he come in person? This is a fake!
Hula la!
The wind blew up all around, and the wind whimpered, like a ghost wailing.
Tornadoes rose up one after another, sweeping away the snow on the ground, like white pillars supporting the sky, moving back and forth across the wilderness.
The darkness gradually blurred, and before one knew it, a strange red color appeared between heaven and earth.
"Red-haired wind, this is red-haired wind..."
The old man stood up, as if he recalled decades of old events, fear flashed across his face, and he trembled and said, "Those evil soldiers and generals are about to come out..."
