Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

But the imagined pain in his neck did not appear as expected. Hei Xiazi was stunned and turned his head away.

As expected, he met Cheng Jiran's smiling eyes: "Hey, Master Hei, although I can handle this kind of minor poisoning, you don't have to experience it this time, it's really tiring."

A familiar smile reappeared on Hei Xia Zi's face, which was stained with the blood of the black-haired snake, and his expression was much more relaxed: "You kid, if you don't come, I will die here."

Cheng Ji threw aside the black-haired snake in his hand, which was so intimidated that it dared not move, and he didn't even have the intention of taking action.

But the black-haired snake on the ground did not dare to move forward, but retreated little by little.

Hei Xia Zi looked at the scene in front of him with some surprise: "No, snakes are so cowardly nowadays that they are even afraid of foxes."

Cheng Ji patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and nestled back into the embrace of his own Qilin brand, looking at the black bear, who seemed a little stupid to him, with a half-smile: "Donate your brain before you bite it. Snakes are spiritual animals that will never be afraid of you in such a large group, let alone foxes, even lions are useless."

"I'm just taking advantage of the snake's power. See, I'm protected by a snake." Cheng Ji didn't think there was anything wrong with his words. He showed off the little snake coiled on his hand and said with a grin.

Hei Xia Zi looked at the little white snake, which was not even as thick as his thumb, with an expression that was hard to describe.

I really didn't expect that such a tiny little snake could have such great abilities.

Hei Xiazi looked at Cheng Ji and Zhang Qiling, who were empty-handed, and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you go in? Did you find what you wanted?"

Cheng Ji made an OK gesture, indicating that he had succeeded, and then looked at Huo Zhongshu and Huo Xiaohui behind Hei Xiazi: "You will follow me later."

Huo Zhongshu was puzzled, as if he didn't know what Cheng Ji wanted him to do.

"Come back to Changsha with me, someone will take over your place here."

Huo Zhongshu was stunned and even hesitated: "But if the truth comes out, the first one to be held accountable will be our Huo family."

Cheng Ji did not explain the details to the boy in front of him, but just said hastily: "This is not something you should worry about. My mission is to take you back. Whatever the Huo family says and does at that time is their business. Besides, since I said that someone will replace you, then there will be no problem. Do you understand, Mr. Huo?"

Huo Zhongshu was about to say something when Zhang Qiling interrupted him with two words: "We're here."

"What has arrived?" Hei Xia Zi felt like he was back to the time when he was guessing Zhang Qiling's words based on his feelings, and he didn't fully react for a moment.

However, he soon had the answer.

Two figures came closer from not far away.

"Young Master, brother."

"Aji."

Cheng Wei and Cheng An came over from a distance and called out to Cheng Ji.

Cheng Ji responded, and like a magic trick, he took out the materials for making human skin masks from the space and handed them to the two of them.

Pointing at the Huo brothers and sisters, he said, "It should be possible. Just do as we planned at the beginning."

The two nodded.

Huo Zhongshu had seen human skin masks before. After all, it was one of the skills passed down by the Nine Sects. When he saw that they were so fully equipped, he felt relieved.

The attainments of the three members of the Cheng family in this area are not comparable to those of the current Huo family. This craft that would take half a day for the Nine Gates to complete takes less than ten minutes for the Cheng brothers, not counting the time they spend chatting.

"Has Zhang Qishan left?" Cheng Ji asked casually.

Cheng An nodded: "As you said, as soon as he leaves, we will come directly. According to his speed, we will be there in about three days."

Cheng Ji nodded, and just as he was about to end the conversation, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and warned, "Try not to go into that deep pit. Although I excluded you when I set up the restriction, the talisman will cause great damage to the body of the intruder, and the loss will outweigh the gain."

Cheng Wei was very interested when he heard this: "What surprise have you prepared for Brother Qishan? Tell me about it."

"I swear to God, this surprise of mine was clearly prepared for his men. After all, those who acknowledge a thief as their father should be treated like their good father and are unworthy of this bloodline." Although Cheng Ji was smiling, the sudden chill in his eyes was so strong that even the two Huo brothers couldn't help but shiver.

Huo Zhongshu didn't dare to ask more questions, he just squatted quietly aside and installed the background board.

In his opinion, the topic they were talking about was beyond his scope of knowledge. Based on what he had learned about Cheng Ji in just one night, if he became impatient, he might not survive until dawn.

After a while, Cheng An and Cheng Wei finished changing their clothes. They took the map handed to them by Cheng Ji and the study plans for the junior class that the Huo family gave to Cheng Ji at the beginning. They flipped through two pages casually and nodded to indicate that they understood.

As soon as Cheng Ji handed over the things in his hand, he felt a lot more relaxed.

He stood up straight and stretched casually, then turned to Zhang Qiling and the others and said, "Let's go. Now we only have to finish the work. Once we are done, we can have some peace and quiet for a while."

Hei Xiazi put his hands on the shoulders of the Huo brothers and sisters and asked with a smile, "So, Master Cheng is planning to retire early?"

It was rare for Cheng Ji not to fight back when faced with Hei Xia Zi's teasing. He took over the conversation in a good mood: "Lying at home, hugging a handsome man and drinking a little wine, this is the life that people should enjoy in their lifetime."

Hei Xia Zi sneered and said nothing more.

With the Huo brothers and sisters, the journey took them significantly longer. After all, the two of them were sent underground since they were young. At most, they were a little braver than ordinary people, but they had no physical strength at all. They had to take a break to catch their breath after walking only a dozen kilometers.

Finally, when the two were about to despair, they saw the dawn of victory, and the four finally arrived at the village where they started.

The villagers had seen Cheng Ji and Zhang Qiling wearing human skin masks before, so they were somewhat hesitant when they saw them come in. After all, their village was the only way to enter the desert. Except for the military who drove directly in, almost all the other teams would come into their village to rest.

Seeing such a brilliant team, the villagers couldn't help but feel some sympathy. In their eyes, anyone who entered the desert was doomed to die.

There was even a kind-hearted woman who took Cheng Ji aside and spoke the local dialect, trying to persuade them earnestly, hoping that they could give up the idea of ​​going in.

Cheng Ji was proficient in many local languages, so he naturally had some knowledge of the local language. When he heard the woman's words, he smiled and nodded in response.

Seeing that Cheng Ji and his group listened to her advice, the woman was delighted and brought a lot of food from home. The Huo brothers and sisters, who had been living underground for years and relying on simple food to fill their stomachs, drooled at the sight of these things.

Cheng Ji smiled as he escorted the woman out of the room, closed the door tightly, and said, "I have one last thing to do in a moment. Don't walk around easily before I leave the room. Hei Ye will put human skin masks on you guys later."

"Remember, if you get into trouble, I will be the first one to send you off. Do you hear me?"
