Pick up the Dragon

"No, wait a minute," Peng Yu saw him release the dragon lice, the belated string in his mind was finally connected, he grabbed the glass bottle and put the dragon lice upside down on the table, "What do you mean? Are we really going to find those witches?"

Li Yi raised his head suspiciously: "Otherwise?"

Peng Yu laughed dryly: "This has nothing to do with our 'business', right... Let's concentrate on finding Suzaku Ling, and don't make any troubles."

Li Yi looked around his face, seeming to see some kind of pretending to be calm, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Why, are you afraid?"

"Joke, how could it be possible for me..." He got stuck in the middle of the sentence, turned around in embarrassment, and continued dryly, "I'm not afraid if you say it."

Li Yi laughed: "With me protecting you, are you still afraid?"

Peng Yu suddenly showed an expression of "Why are you so nasty", and rubbed his arms: "You can pull it down, sometimes this doesn't work and sometimes that doesn't work, I haven't seen you reliable a few times."

Li Yi: "..."

The Dragon King was speechless for a while, and couldn't find anything to refute, so he could only silently look away from the opponent's face, and picked up the glass bottle with the dragon lice - this time Peng Yu didn't stop him.

He stretched out a finger and tapped the dragon louse's back lightly, and it crawled forward a few steps, vibrating its wings and flying.

A certain dragon tied a piece of hair on the dragon louse's leg, and a part of it was not too long or too short. It circled twice in the same place, and suddenly flew high and far away.

"Let's go." Li Yi said.

The group said goodbye to the girl, and Peng Yu still left a little money in return for lunch.The four of them left the small village in pairs, but a certain dragon didn't lead them to chase dragon lice, but went to the bustling city.

Peng Yu couldn't help fiddled with the opponent's horns: "I said, where are you going?"

Bai Long tilted his body inexplicably, and quickly steadied himself and shook his head: "Don't touch me casually, the dragon lice fly slowly, wait to catch up, don't worry - are you full at noon?"

Peng Yu suddenly realized that the Dragon King himself was not full, and he didn't want to admit it because of face, so he used them as a shield.

As soon as she heard "eat", Miss Qianyue's eyes lit up immediately, and she didn't even care about being sent to work by the Dragon King if she was not full.The two dragons flew thousands of miles away, and they were already in the city in a flash. The bustling city and the poor village are two completely different worlds.

The few people walked all the way, Peng Yu cleaned up his appearance, collected all the bits and pieces, and used the southern dialect he learned from the caravan in his early years to pretend to be a local—not for anything else, but for bargaining.

Li Yi followed him and looked at him. He really couldn't understand what was going on in this young master's mind. He clearly didn't lack that little money, but he still regarded bargaining as a hobby.

Peng Yu hacked all the way through the streets and alleys, buying and tasting any food that was not available in the north. In the end, Qian Yue held his stomach and hiccupped and said, "Master, don't buy any more."

Only then did Peng Yu withdraw his troops, looking back with a sense of accomplishment at the vendors and shops he had killed, and then at Jiu Yuan, who was holding a lot of "trophies", he waved his hand, "Let's go!"

Because of Young Master Peng's unrestrained buying, the time wasted in the city far exceeded the Dragon King's expectation, so that when the few people caught up with the dragon louse, it was already late.

The two dragons fell to the ground and turned into human shapes. Peng Yu looked around and found that the environment here seemed a bit familiar. It seemed to be on a commercial road—this road was a mountain road, and the winding shape and the outline of the mountains gradually merged in his mind. Some kind of memory overlaps.

He looked back, forth, left, and right, stretching out his hands and gesticulating to measure something. After a while, he showed a stunned expression like a thunderclap: "This... seems to be the road we walked on back then."

Li Yi cast his eyes on him, and heard him muttering to himself: "But how did it become like this? It was a prosperous place back then, and there were many caravans passing by, not just our Peng family. It's only been three years, how can we ..."

There was an expression of indescribable regret on his face, and his eyes reflected the current situation of this business road—the original smooth road surface was potholed because no one repaired it, and it became more cramped and tortuous, with cracks dotted around, and countless weeds drilled out of it. A little yellow stubble appeared in the cold, which seemed neither fish nor fowl.

He kicked away a few gravels under his feet, but did not find any ruts on the road, and he did not know how many days there had been no traffic on this commercial road. He sighed silently, raised his head and cast his gaze into the distance.

"Did you see the half tree in front of it? That's where the rocks fell from the mountain. There's a path leading to the mountain a little to the side. I don't know if it's still there."

Li Yi went according to his expectations, and saw that there was indeed an old tree that was only half left standing, perhaps half of it was knocked down by falling rocks, and the rest was still growing tenaciously, sprouting branches.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed in front of him, he stretched out his hand to catch it, the dragon lice landed on his palm and folded its wings, he put it back into the glass bottle: "I can't track it, but it should be around here."

Huang Dou suddenly got his head out of Peng Yu's clothes, stepped on the red beans on his shoulders and jumped onto the top of his head.

Li Yi didn't seem to have expected that the third part of Suzaku Ling would appear so quickly, so he thought for a while: "Let's go."

However, everyone soon discovered that Suzaku Ling appeared quickly, but it might not be fast to get it.

This group of peaks stretches into a forest thousands of feet deep, and the two dragons wanted to transform into dragons and fly in directly from above, but they found a barrier similar to Mount Heng. The entire mountain forest seemed to become a barrier, isolating all "outsiders".

So the second dragon had no choice but to take the next best thing, trying to break through the dense forest with the original shape of the dragon body to force his way in, but just as he had enough strength, he was bounced back with a "boom" sound, and he slowed down for a while with stares in his eyes, and finally After realizing how rascal Suzaku God really is - this enchantment is clearly set up for their Dragon Clan!The dragon body can't get in, it can only take human form!

The Dragon King was so angry that he almost tore off his "handsome" disguise on the spot, so he restrained himself, closed his twitching eyelids, and exhaled a dull breath: "Let's go."

This "walk" became a real "walk", the four of them entered in a single file, the Dragon King led the battle, two mortals were in the middle, and Jiuyuan was in the rear.

As expected, the path three years ago was gone, and the dense forest was covered by overgrown plants. With the sun setting, the forest was completely dark within a few minutes. Although everyone had good night vision, they could In this dense forest with overgrown vegetation, the vision cannot be widened, and even the best eyesight will not help.

Li Yi made a "stop" gesture in front, signaling everyone to rest in place: "There are too many variables at night, we will leave after dawn."

"There are a lot of bugs here." Peng Yu raised his hand and slapped his face, crushing a mosquito that was about to suck his blood. "Why are they more rampant than the ones on Penglai Island? You two dragons can't be restrained, yet you still Dare to bite me?"

"Penglai Island is full of cats and dogs, but here are jackals, tigers and leopards." Li Yi said, looking at the other party, "Put your ear buttons on."

Peng Yu remembered this after he reminded him, and suddenly he slapped his thigh as if suddenly realizing it, quickly pulled out the jade ear button and fastened it, and the mosquitoes circling around him instantly dispersed with a "buzzing".

He put his hands on his hips refreshed, consciously let out a bad breath, and from the corner of his eye, Li Yi summoned a ball of dragon fire, which floated in the air and acted as a light.

"Go to the tree. This forest is very deep. I'm afraid you won't be able to walk to the end in three to five days. You should be prepared." Li Yi said, he went up the tree first, and gave Peng Yu a hand. The leaves are thick and broad, so the two dragons lay down to rest, and they didn't shake at all.

Qianyue flipped over to Jiuyuan's side like a cat, held the knife at his waist in his hand, leaned against the tree trunk with great adaptability and fell asleep.

Peng Yu held the glass bottle containing the dragon lice and looked at the dragon fire floating in mid-air. He lost all sleepiness for a while, and couldn't hold back and said softly: "Hey, you said... those people can still find it. ?"

Li Yi half-closed his eyes and propped his head on one hand: "Which one would you rather accept if you couldn't find the body or if you found the body?"

Peng Yu paused: "Is there no hope at all?"

Li Yi looked at his side face, and mercilessly exposed his thoughts: "Are you thinking, if they are still alive, maybe your caravan can be saved? You are thinking too much, let alone witches. The Wu clan can drag the corpses here for thousands of miles, and according to what you said, they have all been poisoned, do you still expect the Wu clan to find conscience and save them?"

Peng Yu tightly pursed his lips, and decided not to talk to the dragon tonight—although he himself knew that this idea was unrealistic, but being pointed out so mercilessly, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Boring, he picked off a leaf and put it on his fingertips to play with. There was no disturbing sound of insects in the surroundings, and he became quiet, only the rustling of the leaves in the wind.He gradually became a little drowsy, closed his eyes and leaned on Li Yi's shoulder, sleeping peacefully all night.

Unfortunately, the luck of the few people was really worrying, and it started to rain lightly that night, and it didn't stop all night. The rising sun of the next day evaporated, and the whole forest was filled with a foul-smelling miasma.

Fortunately, several people took the medicine from Zhou Huai in advance. Li Yi found a green vial from the package, opened it, and gave each of them a dose.

Because of the constant rain, the road in the woods was extremely muddy and difficult to walk. The already slow journey of the few people became more procrastinated. They walked for five days after three days. During the day, the miasma transpired and the vision was blurred. Even though there is no shortage of food and water in the woods, it is really a great test and torture for the spirit.

Peng Yu really couldn't figure out how the Wu clan survived in such an environment.

On the night of the fifth day, they finally approached the depths of the dense forest. The temperature here became surprisingly high, the vegetation became sparse instead, and there were faint signs of human activities.However, they were already exhausted after a day of walking, so Li Wei had no choice but to give up the quick win and prepare to rest on the spot for a night before making any plans.

Unexpectedly, during this one night's effort, they were turned back by the Wu clan.

Peng Yu was molesting Li Yi in his dream, and felt a tremor for no reason, and suddenly woke up to find that the tree they were leaning on was trembling, and the trembling was extremely frightening, as if something was shaking Hitting the tree, the sound of thumping was endless, and the old tree was so thick that several people hugged it, it was almost toppled!

He hurriedly hugged the tree trunk tightly, and looked down, his hair stood on end, and all the drowsiness evaporated from his pores—dozens of figures were surrounded under the tree at some point!

"What... what's going on!"

He couldn't help yelling, his hand slipped, and he almost fell off the tree. He saw that the "people" below were all behaving strangely, their heads were so dense that they couldn't see their faces, they didn't seem to be able to raise their heads, nor He can climb trees, and keeps hitting the tree trunk with his body as if he only obeys some kind of order. He doesn't seem to know the pain.

Where had Peng Yu seen such a battle before, his eyes widened and he thought that this group of people were dying, and how could they be so strong?

Li Yi stretched out his hand to clasp his wrist, and said in a deep voice, "No, I'm afraid they are not human...Jiu Yuan, don't go down, walk from the tree!"

As he spoke, he raised his arms and pulled Peng Yu into his arms. He couldn't help but grab a tree vine and swing his body away, then flew lightly to another tree and landed steadily.

Taking advantage of this time, Peng Yu quickly glanced around, only to see that the sky and the ground were filled with all kinds of bugs, which can be described as massive and "full of five poisons".

"Why are there so many!" He yelled in a low voice, tightly covered the earbuckles on his ears, and at the same time reached out his hand to find the bone whistle in his arms.

The old tree that lived before made a tooth-piercing "creaking" sound, and fell to one side, completely mournful. Jiuyuan Qianyue jumped over one after another, and the latter deftly used his toes to borrow strength from the tree. It quietly landed beside Peng Yu.

The "people" at the bottom pushed down the first tree together. Seeing that the goal was not achieved and the prey ran away halfway, they all turned around in the direction of the four of them, took one foot in the same way, and followed Get on the other one, and move towards them stiffly.

Peng Yu was so frightened by this scene that his hair was covered in white sweat. He felt his spine and scalp go numb, and swallowed hard: "Are they... are they still human?"

"Puppets," Li Yi said, "I didn't expect this kind of insidious sorcery to be used by people—you have to find out where the people who control them are hiding."

Peng Yu pulled his sleeve: "Use a bone whistle, or your piano shop? Can you cut off the connection between them?"

"It's useless," Li Yi explained while unfolding his perception, "They have no sanity, they can't be awakened at all, and they use Gu to control the puppets, so it's difficult to cut in just by sound."

His eyes suddenly locked on a certain point, his eyes narrowed invisibly, and his eyes became sharp: "Catch the thief first and capture the king—Jiu Yuan!"

The white shadow flitted out like a flying bird, and Peng Yu felt that he was pushed from behind by someone, and was transferred to the next tree by Jiu Yuan involuntarily, and he shouted helplessly: "Aren't these things evil spirits! Why don't insects Dare to get close, it won't work against them!"

"They are not evil spirits," Jiu Yuan waved his hand, a gust of cold air wrapped in a sharp wind, slashed at the puppets like knives, causing them to stagger and fall backwards, and had to retreat a certain distance. "Because they're 'people.'"

Peng Yu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly recognized a slightly familiar face among the puppets that were shaved up and down.
