to blame

The absorption and fusion of energy is a slow process.

No one expected that Qingqiu would have an energy riot at this time, but everyone couldn't leave it here, so they could only temporarily settle down and camp in the Merlin.

Tang Xun commanded the driving car to drive a large open space in the plum forest, and the cleared dry shrubs and branches were piled into several firewood piles.The smell of burning Gu carving corpses in the Merlin has not completely dissipated, and if the fire is lit again, the beasts hiding in the dark and ready to move should have some concerns.

As for the Eagle King...

Ming Xia doesn't know much about her energy body.However, the special substance contained in the coating developed by the "sixth group" has a certain interference effect on the energy of the monster.They have already confirmed this point on the water squirrel, the beautiful pine and the fishwife, so the eagle king should be injured, but it is difficult to determine the extent of her injury for a while.

As night fell, several fires were lit around the clearing.The driving car also stopped on the inside of the fire, and Tang Xun adjusted the direction of the driving car so that it was facing their direction.

According to common sense analysis, the possibility of the Gu sculptures attacking from the direction they came from is the lowest.In contrast, the area ahead that they haven't had time to clear is more dangerous.

In the middle of the open space, Qingqiu hangs high in the air like a large light bulb.

Ming Xia took a look and wanted to sigh, Qingqiu hadn't eaten or drank water for most of the day...

Ugh.

Nan Jiang took out a box of chocolates from his pocket and handed it to Ming Xia, "Hey, have some snacks to distract yourself."

Ming Xia accepted it in embarrassment, "I used to have an average taste for sweets, but for some reason recently, I seem to like sweet things especially. Especially chocolate."

Li Youran grabbed a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely, "Your body is exhausted too much, do you need to replenish energy?"

This was something she said casually, but when she said it, she was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Ming Xia uncertainly, "What's going on? That bomb in your stomach is going to be a monster again?"

Ming Xia was also a little helpless, any small change in his body related to energy could easily remind everyone of Jiu Xiao.

It is estimated that Jiu Xiao is also very depressed.

Depressed and embarrassing.

When Ming Xia thought about it this way, she felt a little funny.His supposedly capable ancestor resided in the younger generation's body, and originally wanted to do something secretly, but in the end... the right time, place, people and various elements were all missed.Instead, everyone knows about it.

Now it's all right, not only Ming Xia, but everyone is watching him vigilantly.

"It's hard to say, but it should still be digesting and absorbing the energy of the water scorpion, right?" Ming Xia recalled the terrifying scene of the water scorpion's huge body flying down from the top of the mountain, and couldn't help but get excited, "I think that's enough for it. It took a while to absorb."

Li Youran obviously wanted to go with him too, she rubbed her arms and complained softly, "Grandma, no matter how brave you are, you can't stand this kind of fright."

She has been afraid of snakes and insects since she was a child, but the nature of her job... no matter what she is afraid of, she has to hold back desperately.

"Good news." Nanjiang nudged Mingxia with his elbow, "Look at Qingqiu, do you feel that the light around him seems to be dimmed by a notch?"

Ming Xia looked intently, it seemed to be true.

"I've absorbed all the energy, what will happen?" Ming Xia was worried, would he turn into a big fox?still……

Nanjiang is not good either.

Taking over prisoners who have been released after serving their sentence, this kind of thing was not within the scope of work of their second team.Occasionally, I heard people from other teams say that energy recovery needs a process.If counted by time, Qingqiu is already very fast.

It is indeed the nine-tailed fox on Qingqiu Mountain.

The team members took turns on duty that night, Ming Xia was a foreign aid, and everyone took care of him intentionally or unintentionally, and arranged for him to be on the first shift. He and Li Youran were on duty until one o'clock, then Tang Xun and Lin Su, and the last shift was Nanjiang With a rookie named Zhao Xiaobei from the second team.

Although Ming Xia often stayed up late, she had just experienced such a fight during the day, and was worried because of Qingqiu's matter.He almost got into the sleeping bag and fell asleep immediately.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he was woken up by someone shouting and dragging him.Before he opened his eyes, he heard Nan Jiang's voice calling him excitedly, "Wake up, Qingqiu seems to be waking up!"

Ming Xia shuddered, and his whole body suddenly became sober.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the Qingqiu brand light bulb falling towards the ground very slowly, and the cocoon-like thing had indeed grown a lot bigger as they had guessed.It's just that the outside is still wrapped in a white and shiny mist, making it difficult for people to see clearly what's going on inside.

Ming Xia got out of the sleeping bag, ran towards the direction where Qingqiu fell, and then... was blocked by energy fluctuations at a distance of three meters.

Ming Xia rubbed his face and forced himself to calm down.

He could feel something moving inside that layer of light cocoon.Before that, the light cocoon had always given people a sense of stillness.

Such a situation is easily reminiscent of vocabulary such as breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

Ming Xia was a little nervous, but also a little agitated.

The thick ink-like black in the sky gradually faded away, turning into a thick and viscous blue-gray, and soon turned into a lighter and lighter blue-blue as a bright color appeared on the horizon.

The brilliance around Qingqiu also disappeared with the rising of the sun.

Lying beside the fire was a young man in white.

The energy film that prevented Ming Xia from approaching had disappeared, but he stopped hesitantly.

Qingqiu left Ming Xia with the impression that he was always a coquettish, self-willed, lazy and cute little baby, but lying on the ground was an ancient nobleman with gorgeous clothes and perfect clothes from head to toe— —The soles are all white.

Then, he saw the little boy's face.

The skin is like snow, and the eyebrows and eyes are picturesque.

On his face, there was a strange, thrilling beauty.

However, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the expression between his brows seemed unusually indifferent even in his sleep.Like a piece of ice, although it reflects magnificent brilliance in the sun, it still has no temperature.

Only the thick eyelashes and the slightly raised eye ends gave Ming Xia a sense of familiarity, especially the faintly smudged shadow at the end of the eyes, like eye shadow painted on purpose, he had seen it on the little fox's face before. Pass.

After watching it for a long time, the familiar feeling seems to have been found back bit by bit.

After an unknown amount of time, the young master frowned slightly, shook his head, and slowly opened his eyes.

Ming Xia unconsciously held his breath, and his heart jumped up.

He really wanted to ask Nanjiang, would Qingqiu lose his memory due to energy fluctuations?What if he looked at himself and asked, "Who am I" or "Who are you?"

Qingqiu turned his head with difficulty, frowned and looked around, then his gaze stayed on Ming Xia's face.

For the first few seconds, he seemed to recognize the face.The eyes are indifferent and critical, with a guard against the world that seems to be engraved in the bones and blood.

After a while, he seemed to think of something, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and the ice-like shell on his face seemed to slowly melt away.

He blinked and blinked, showing an aggrieved look, "Ming Xia..."

Ming Xia's heart melted.

He hastily walked over to help Qingqiu up, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, "What's uncomfortable?"

Qingqiu stretched out his fingers to point to his head, then to his chest, "Here...here...and here, everything is uncomfortable...my god!"

He finally realized that what he stretched out was not a white fox paw, but a human hand with fair complexion and slender fingers.

Qingqiu stuttered immediately, "I...I..."

Ming Xia couldn't help laughing.He thought that he really thought too much just now, no matter what the appearance looks like, this is his Qingqiu, the little fox he is familiar with who loves to be coquettish and shameless, but protects him everywhere.

Qingqiu stammered for a long time, then threw himself into Ming Xia's arms and wept loudly.

The people in the second team watched this scene dumbfounded, all thinking in their hearts: the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

The ancients are not deceived by me.

Qingqiu had cried enough, sobbing, Ming Xia took him to wash up briefly, and was driven by Nanjiang to Tang Xun's driving car to change clothes.There is a spare training uniform in the car. Under the environment of Umeda, Qingqiu's own energy-transformed robe is too cumbersome and impractical.

After changing into the training uniform, Qingqiu has a slender and flexible figure, with a bit of youthful innocence, especially after Ming Xia helped him tie his long hair into a ponytail, he is even more handsome as if he walked out of a comic book beautiful boy.

The beautiful young man snuggled up to Ming Xia's side, which made Ming Xia's heart suddenly sour, with a kind of melancholy feeling that "the little cub has grown up suddenly, and he can't just kiss and hug and hold her high in the future".

Nan Jiang asked him coldly, "What kind of weapon do you use?"

Ming Xia was also curious about this question.

Qingqiu stretched out his hand, a faint light flickered in his hand, and slowly condensed out a broad knife.

"I use a knife."

Ming Xia felt astonished.He thought that Qingqiu could use a sword, after all, in his impression, ancient literati admired this weapon very much, and even called it the gentleman among weapons.As a result, the little scholar of his family chose such a crude and crazy weapon.

"Qingtan taught you?" Ming Xia became curious, "What is his weapon?"

Qingqiu glanced at Ming Xia proudly, "He uses the whip. Doesn't my broad knife look good?"

Ming Xia sincerely praised, "Cool and handsome."

Qingqiu raised his chin, "Not only does it look good, but my knife is very sharp." As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and he stood up straight, "Something came just now."

Everyone in the second team became alert at once.Qingqiu is a demon, and his five senses are more sensitive than humans, especially in a crisis-ridden environment like Umeda.

"Before I woke up," Qingqiu estimated in his heart, "it was about an hour ago, and he came from that direction."

He stretched out his finger to the west side of Umeda, and walked in this direction, near the center of the valley, was the seal of the Eagle King.It is also their direction of progress and the end of land reclamation.

Nan Jiang frowned.This night, a lot of things sneaked up to watch them secretly, but because they were far away, they didn't show their faces, so Nanjiang ignored them—if he was the Eagle King, he would send his little ones to watch them. with theirs.

"Is it a Gu carving?"

Qingqiu shook his head, "Looks like a pack of wild dogs."

"Probably crossing the road..." Before Nanjiang finished his sentence, he suddenly got stuck, "No, it can't be an ordinary wild dog."

Gu carvings are extremely domineering monsters with a strong sense of territory, but wherever they inhabit, no other monsters are allowed to set foot there.The nine acres of Umeda have been occupied by them for a long time. They made the plum grove full of thorns, in order to prevent humans and ordinary beasts from entering and leaving.

All along, the "Sixth Group" has been unwilling to have a direct conflict with them. As long as the seal of the Eagle King is intact, the behavior of the Eagle King's occupation of the territory will be turned a blind eye to it.Not long ago, No. [-] Peak submitted its monthly report, which stated that the area of ​​the nine-acre Umeda field had rapidly expanded in a short period of time, that Mr. Hu made up his mind not to continue pampering the Eagle King.

"Ordinary wild dogs can't enter Umeda." Nanjiang looked at Qingqiu, "Think about it again, what other characteristics are there? Try to be more accurate."

Qingqiu raised his head in a thoughtful gesture.

For some reason, Ming Xia saw his slightly familiar posture, and suddenly lost hope in what he was about to say.

Qingqiu introduced them in a very academic tone: "Short hair, dark color, a little messy feeling, eyes are yellow to green at night. The body is three to four feet long, and the height is about two feet... By the way, do you know 'ruler'?"

Everyone, "..."

Qingqiu stretched out his hands and gestured, "One foot is so long. Then its head is so long... its ears are so long... its mouth is so long..."

Everyone, "..."
