Quick Travel: When the host of Meimeijiao is bound to the birth system

Chapter 385 The Ascetic Sword Master vs. The Ultimate Charming Beauty 29

After Junze entered the tent, he first used a whole-body cleaning technique on himself, then closed the tent's opening and slowly lay down towards Shen Yao.

Shen Yao had already cleaned her whole body, so now she was lying comfortably on the bed, with her back to Junze.

Junze pursed his lips, hugged her from behind, and whispered: "Yaoyao, I'm here to protect you."

Shen Yao couldn't help laughing and turned around to look at him, but the tent was dark and she couldn't see anything. She could only touch his face based on her feeling and said: "Master, With you here, I can sleep peacefully."

Junze: "You go to sleep, I will hold you."

Shen Yao: "Okay, then I'm really going to sleep. Master, you should also go to bed early. We will have to get up at dawn to be on duty."

Junze nodded: "Go to sleep."

Shen Yao leaned into his arms and quickly closed her eyes. She was indeed sleepy.

However, when Junze placed a gentle kiss on her face, she opened her eyes again and asked, "What's wrong? Master?"

Junze pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing, go to sleep."

Shen Yao rubbed her eyes and said, "Okay...Master, you can sleep too."

After Shen Yao's breathing became even, Junze stood up carefully, covered her with a quilt, and went out of the tent.

Then, he drew a protective barrier for the tent and left with peace of mind.

……

This village is far from as simple as everyone sees, Junze thinks so.

The person who had the same idea as him and wanted to find out secretly was Qu Jing.

They met each other outside the village chief's house by chance, and then looked at each other in a tacit understanding.

Junze pointed to the dark place in front and motioned for him to come over there to talk.

Qu Jing followed and walked over.

Junze asked him: "Why are you here?"

Qu Jing: "I still want to ask you, why are you here? Logically speaking, at this time, shouldn't you be indulging in the gentle country? Why do you have the leisure to come here?"

Junze:......

He glanced at him lightly and changed the subject: "So, like me, you think there may be a problem in the village chief's family?"

Qu Jing nodded, "Yeah, that's why I came here to have a look in the dead of night."

Junze hummed and said, "Okay, that's just right. Let's go together."

Qu Jing: "Okay."

With that said, they lightly jumped into the courtyard of the village chief's house.

At first glance, there is nothing wrong with the layout of this yard. It is similar to that of ordinary people's homes, but...

In the yard, there was something wrong with the big tree that occupied about half of the entire yard.

Junze and Qu Jing discovered it almost at the same time, and then walked over with light steps.

Just when they were about to approach the big tree, Junze suddenly pulled Qu Jing and said, "Be careful, there may be some hidden formation."

Qu Jing quickly put his feet back, a few drops of cold sweat running down his back. He had never thought about this, but fortunately Junze was more sensitive and caught him in time.

Junze stood about three feet away from the tree, flicked his fingers to cast a spell, and began to check whether there was a formation in the area in front of him.

As expected, before long, the layout of the formation in the circle closest to the big tree was clearly displayed with bright light.

But not long after, it quickly disappeared and no longer showed up at all, as if its previous appearance was just an illusion.

Fortunately, Junze had quickly memorized the formation it showed and imprinted it all in his mind. He could just draw it when he went back.

Qu Jing watched from the side and was about to tell Junze whether he should use magic to attack the tree to see if the formation would block their attack.

But suddenly, there were several old coughs in the room, and then they heard the sound of the people inside getting out of bed and coming out.

The two of them looked at each other quickly, then silently jumped out of the yard, leaned against the corner, and listened carefully to the movements coming from inside.

The people in the house seemed to have woken up at night, or suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, so they opened the door and walked out.

The sound of coughing seemed to be getting closer and closer to them. Junze and Qu Jing involuntarily held their breath, minimizing their sense of presence.

After a while, the coughing sound stopped, and then there were waves of hobbling footsteps walking on crutches, passing near them, and then walked to the big tree in the yard.

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of Jun Ze and Qu Jing. They wanted to see what he wanted to do when he walked under the big tree.

The village chief, leaning on a cane and wearing a coat, sat silently on a wooden chair under the big tree. He sighed helplessly and said as if talking to himself:

"I dreamed about my sweet grandson again. He kept mumbling that it was dark and cold down there, and asked me when I would be able to rescue him. He also said that he missed his grandpa so much."

"Big tree, big tree, I really hope you can help me realize my wish as soon as possible, so that I can fulfill this wish, and then I can die peacefully."

At first glance, his words sounded like he was talking to himself and gibbering, but Junze and Qu Jing quickly discovered something was wrong.

Is this big tree really going to become a spirit?
