Chapter 568 The Red-eyed Hare
The middle-aged man was nursing a grievance when he died. He didn’t get to disclose a lot of information, including the two monsters of Gao Ge and the fact that Gao Ge is a swordsman at the realm of Master. He wanted to sell the information of vital importance at a good price. However, the old man didn’t give him a chance to continue talking at all. After learning Gao Ge’s name and position, the old man just turned the Zhao Family’s house into a living hell.
Before dying, the middle-aged man was thinking, “Go to Gao Ge now. The death of either you or him is a good thing anyway...”
It is a pity that the old man with a white beard doesn’t know what was on his mind. Neither can he be bothered to ask about it.
It is enough that he knows who killed his son and where he is.
He thought that Gao Ge was a member of the Dragon Court at first. This time, they are on a secret trip. If they offend the people of the Dragon Court and set against them, it won’t be a good thing then. Nevertheless, now that Gao Ge has been expelled out of the Dragon Court, he doesn’t feel apprehensive anymore.
The two men in blue return to the old man with a white beard.
“Second Honorable Elder, everything has been settled.”
“Good. Let’s go to Mount Duanlong,” the old man with a white beard says.
The two men in blue stare into each other’s eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
“Second Honorable Elder, we don’t know where Mount Duanlong is...”
The old man with a white beard looks into the house and finds that no one is alive. He can only heave a sigh, “Then let’s go out and ask someone.”
“Yes!”
...
At the moment, in Mount Duanlong, Qingrou who is carrying Chen Wangshi on her back has felt a bit nervous.
She looks around with her eyes full of alertness.
After walking for another while, she finally realizes that the surroundings seem to be changing.
Especially when she wants to go back, she finds that the way back has been different from the original road.
The scenery on both sides of the road has changed a lot too, which appears completely different from before.
In particular, she has left a mark in a tree and put two rocks together before but when she goes back, she can’t find the mark or the rocks.
“It looks like that the thing has come...” Qingrou thinks in her mind and yet says nothing. She doesn’t want to frighten Chen Wangshi.
The poor little girl can’t have realized that she is being used as a bait by Gao Ge and the others...
“Qingrou, do we lose the way?” Chen Wangshi, leaning against Qingrou’s back, says with concern.
Qingrou is a bit surprised that this little girl is such an acute observer.
She has noticed that so fast.
“How do you know?”
“Well, Qingrou, you are driving me dizzy now.” Chen Wangshi really wants to roll her eyes. She is not liable to carsickness or seasickness but “back-sickness”.
Qingrou coughs and comforts her, “No worry. You can take a nap if you want to.”
“Okay...”
Qingrou feels so speechless.
She was just saying. How can Chen Wangshi really fall asleep?
Chen Wangshi is so unblushing...
After a while, Qingrou realizes that she is still going in circles and feels even more worried. Most horrifyingly, Chen Wangshi who is on her back starts to snore.
“Oh my, you are really sleeping now... I was expecting you to protect me!” Qingrou heaves a sigh and complains in her heart. She feels that she is not that stupid to get lost in Mount Duanlong, so what is happening must have something to do with the mandrill. However, it has been quite a while since she lost the way. By now, the mandrill hasn’t showed itself. What on earth is it waiting for? Or it is watching for the proper moment for action?
Holy crap.
Now only Qingrou and Chen Wangshi are here.
What is it waiting for?
Probably her thinking has been sensed. Suddenly, a gust of strong wind whistles by.
The surrounding leaves rustle.
Due to the whistling wind, the yellow leaves in Mount Duanlong fall faster.
For the moment, Qingrou immediately gets tense.
With a frown, she looks around, trying to search for the trace of the mandrill, but it seems to be playing hide-and-seek with Qingrou. Having searched for a while, she still finds nothing.
She becomes even more uneasy in her heart.
“I’m searching, searching for a mandrill that is to become a spirit...”
Qingrou starts to hum in a low voice to relieve her sense of urgency.
“You are not good at singing,” Chen Wangshi who is leaning on Qingrou’s back, speaks.
Qingrou has just felt like speaking when she is surprised.
It doesn’t sound like the voice of Chen Wangshi at all!
“Put me down.”
“Okay!” Qingrou hastens to put “Chen Wangshi” down and then rubs her own shoulders, asking in a low voice, “Madam, the mandrill is here?”
“Yes.” Rakshasa nods her head, turns around to look in the east and snorts. Instantly, she strikes forward quickly, leaving ghost shadows. Within the blink of an eye, she has arrived tens of meters away. Then she strikes a punch at a tree that can fill the span of two men’s stretched arms. With a sound of bang, the towering tree is directly crushed with whirling bits of wood. The loud sound also reverberates in the forest. And Qingrou standing nearby even feels the earth trembling and the mountains shaking.
When the tree is blown, a black shadow goes out, which seemingly tries to flee.
“Since you are here, how can you get away?” Rakshasa speaks with disdain and reaches out one of her hands to the black shadow.
The black shadow hastens to parry and begins to run faster away from this place.
Actually, at first, the mandrill has guessed that this is a trap for it. As such, it only created the illusion and didn’t show itself. Because it cannot resist the temptation of Chen Wangshi’s great fortune, it was watching for the moment to act. To its surprise, Rakshasa hidden inside Chen Wangshi’s body felt that the distance was short enough, so she just took action after spotting its position.
“Rakshasa...” The voice from the black shadow is full of fear for Chen Wangshi.
Now it finally realizes why this little girl has so much fortune.
With Rakshasa in her body, of course she has great fortune.
Rakshasa doesn’t respond to it. Instead, she keeps charging forward.
Such a scene looks a bit funny.
The black shadow turns into wisps of black smoke and keeps dodging Rakshasa’s attack. Unexpectedly, it is stricken back by a huge power before it gets far enough.
Gao Ge is holding the Flying Star Sword, with his power of stars surging in his body. The golden monkey and the fox spirit are standing next to Gao Ge, vigilant and alert.
s
“Master, the mandrill is really about to become a spirit. If we didn’t take action, it would only take the mandrill three days at most to make it,” the fox spirit licks her lips and speaks.
In their eyes, the mandrill is not a horrid being but a substantial dish.
How hilarious!
“Take it down first,” Gao Ge says.
The golden monkey and the fox spirit don’t say anything more. They just rush forward from both sides. Two beams of light spurt from their bodies and strike the black shadow.
With a harsh scream, the black shadow falls on the ground and turns into a black animal. It looks like a hare, except that its sharp fangs appear very fierce.
“Hello again.” Gao Ge stares at the unknown creature and says with a smile.
The mandrill stares at Gao Ge, with its eyes reddened.
“Hey, a red-eyed hare.” Holding the sword, Gao Ge strides toward it.
