Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

After Zhan Zhao jumped down into the black water, because he was prepared, he didn't roll on the ground in embarrassment like A Lan, but lightly and steadily stood on the solid ground under the water.The light in the stone chamber contrasted sharply with the thick night above the black water, as if it belonged to another world.Zhan Zhao hadn't gotten used to the light here yet, just as He Lian jumped off behind him, he felt a person suddenly rushing towards him.

Out of an inexplicable premonition and a familiar feeling, Zhan Zhao suppressed the instinct of avoiding or attacking, but stretched out his arms to catch the person coming.A Lan bumped into his chest all of a sudden, the cold hair brushed against his chin, he could even feel her violent heartbeat - or his own.She was trembling, probably out of surprise and nervousness, her two thin arms desperately hugged Zhan Zhao's waist, gasping for breath, but couldn't say a word.

An indescribable sense of relief and joy surged into Zhan Zhao's heart, and he couldn't wait to lower his head to see if the girl in his arms was intact, even ignoring that Mr. Dongwu was still standing a few steps away.

Pale, gaunt, as if frightened, but with a strong heartbeat and powerful arms.All in all, Alan looks pretty good.Zhan Zhao was relieved a little, and picked off a leaf caught in her hair, and asked her in a low voice, "What happened just now?" The exclamation did not seem to be without reason.

Only then did Ah Lan let go of Zhan Zhao slightly, looked back at Zhan Zhao, and repeatedly confirmed that it was not out of her imagination.She didn't hear what Zhan Zhao said at all, but subconsciously murmured: "You are finally here."

Zhan Zhao glanced at Dong Wu-jun vigilantly, pulled Ah Lan behind him, and said to the illusion demon who was standing quietly watching this scene: "My girl is young and ignorant, if she bumps into Dong Wu-jun, I hope you will forgive me." These words did not come from the heart, and they were not even as polite as they appeared on the surface, but implied displeasure and threat.

Mr. Dongwu obviously understood the hidden meaning in the words, and couldn't help but chuckled and said: "I didn't do anything to your girl, I just gave her a small gift."

"Small gift?" Zhan Zhao frowned, and glanced at Ah Lan, but didn't see what she was holding in her hand, and had a faint premonition in his heart.

Only then did Ah Lan regain her senses, pulled Zhan Zhao's sleeve and said in a low voice, "She just ate it for me..." She couldn't find a suitable word to describe the cloud of mist, so she could only mumble, "I ate it." what."

"Mr. Dongwu," Zhan Zhao looked up immediately, and said in a deep voice, "If Ah Lan offends you in any way, you can go after Zhan. It would be too low to attack a child!"

Lord Dongwu was not angry when he heard the words, but he giggled instead: "I didn't poison her, it was just a small spell for self-defense, which is beneficial and harmless to her."

"Don't bother you, please take it back." Zhan Zhao didn't think that little spell would be a good thing, after all, the other party didn't know what it was, and there were evil tricks everywhere, and he didn't want Ah Lan to have any involvement with the other party at all. .

However, Mr. Dongwu said like a rascal: "This is impossible, just like the water that is spilled, if you let it out, you can't take it back."

"You!" Zhan Zhao was furious.

"..." A Lan hurriedly pulled Zhan Zhao's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Forget it, I don't think it's okay." She didn't want Zhan Zhao to start a dispute with the other party, after all, this so-called demon of illusion seemed to have something that ordinary people couldn't understand. Alan was afraid that Zhan Zhao would suffer from the advanced spells he resisted.

When Zhan Zhao heard what Ah Lan said, he didn't know whether he should feel relieved or helpless.It's just that he didn't want to entangle Alan in front of Lord Dongwu, so he put the matter aside first, and said to Lord Dongwu with anger: "Now I have got the 'bitter fruit', if you have nothing else to do, then Zhan is about to say goodbye."

"That's natural." Dongwu Jun waved his sleeves with a smile, as if he had expected that Zhan Zhao would not stalk him, and she told He Lian who was standing respectfully beside him, "Send them back, this time Don't come here for a few months."

He Lian bowed her head and said, "Yes, Master."

The tense atmosphere in the room gradually dissipated, the crisis passed, and everything seemed to be back on track.However, at this moment, the man who had been imprisoned on the island for a hundred years by Lord Dongwu, who had been lying on the ground just now, suddenly jumped up, and rushed towards Ah Lan like a hungry wolf.

It's just that although he is fast, Zhan Zhao is even faster. With a "pa", he raised his hand and beat the man backwards and flew backwards, hitting the secret room, even the gold, silver and jewels rolled to the ground.

Zhan Zhao's subordinates didn't show much mercy, the man actually hurt his lungs, and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.However, before Zhan Zhao or Dongwu-jun stepped forward to make a move, he suddenly burst into laughter and hissed, "Dongwu-jun, don't be complacent! The person who can restrain you and the four of you is coming back." Already! Your sacrifices and concessions back then were all in vain!"

Lord Dongwu suddenly changed color.Even He Lian couldn't help taking a step back.

In an instant, I saw a thick mist emanating from the monster of the illusion, as if the master's mood was agitated and he couldn't control it.The room suddenly became gloomy and cold, as if the cold winter had dropped suddenly.

In the dead silence, it seemed that only the man's piercing laughter echoed.Master Dongwu slowly grasped both hands, walked slowly towards the man step by step, and said solemnly: "You, what did you just say?"

The man coughed a few times, and hissed as if he was going all out: "He's back! He's coming back soon! You're all going to die! You're all going to die!"

But when he heard the sound of "Kala", the mist that had always been attached to the man's body suddenly condensed to the throat, and the man's neck was strangled.And for a while, before he died, he spit out a pair of eyes like a dead fish, made a "hissing" sound, and stared at Dong Wu-jun resentfully.There seemed to be chilling viciousness and ridicule in that gaze.

Dong Wu-jun stood where he was, and let out a sigh of relief, his voice trembling.However, after a while, she laughed again, and said in a low voice, "It's fine if you don't come back. It would be better if you come back." At the end, her tone was so creepy that it seemed to contain extreme hatred .

Alan kept silent like a cicada, while Zhan Zhao held her with one hand and looked at Dong Wujun defensively.

After a long time, Lord Dongwu just turned around.But when she saw the three people standing there in the stone room, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and said with a light smile, "Why are you still here? Why don't you leave quickly?" The voice seemed to be frozen, and it was still frighteningly cold.

"Yes." He Lian hurriedly responded, gave Zhan Zhao a wink, and jumped out of the stone room first.

Zhan Zhao stretched his arms around A Lan's waist, said in a low voice, "Hold tight", after speaking, he pointed his toes, his figure suddenly rose, and he followed through the black water and returned to the ground.

The swamp is still peaceful and quiet, a faint moonlight dilutes the night through the mist, but it cannot dilute the black water.Alan took a deep breath of the cold and damp air, but it contained the fragrance of grass and trees, and felt as if it was a lifetime away.

He Lian said, "We have to get out of here quickly." She gestured and led Zhan Zhao and Ah Lan towards the beach in a hurry.

Alan quickly followed behind, and couldn't help asking: "Sister He Lian, is that, that Lord Dongwu, your master?"

"En." He Lian responded in a low voice, her back looked vague and unpredictable, and her tone of voice seemed to be affected, but she didn't hide these things, "Although my late father was also a gatekeeper, but But I was only entrusted by the previous gatekeeper, I don’t know the real situation on the island, and I have never met Master. However, when I was young, I followed my father to the island and met Master when I was playing in the woods.”

A Lan said: "So that's the case." She actually still has a lot of questions, but she doesn't know how to ask them.Why did Mr. Dongwu want to imprison that person on the island? Is it just because that person killed five thousand soldiers back then?But there are so many villains in the world, why is it him?Moreover, if that person was imprisoned here by Lord Dongwu, why did he know her and the other three monsters so well?Who was "that person" he was talking about before he died?

"As for the other things," He Lian seemed to have guessed what Alan was thinking, and said, "Master has ordered, it is not convenient for me to tell you."

A Lan hurriedly nodded repeatedly, for fear that He Lian would make things difficult.Zhan Zhao was still holding Ah Lan's arm with one hand so that she could keep up. At this moment, he asked, "You didn't feel any discomfort after eating... that thing?"

A Lan shook her head, and replied: "It's nothing uncomfortable, it's just a cold stomach."

"..." Zhan Zhao couldn't tell the ups and downs, he frowned, wondering if he should drag Alan to see the doctor.

However, He Lian said: "You don't have to worry, Master has no malicious intentions. Since the old man said that it is a small spell for self-defense, it will definitely not hinder you."

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to nod upon hearing this.They hurried on in silence for another hour, and the beach became faintly visible.

But at this moment, the east also showed a hint of paleness, which heralded the end of the night and the dawn.

He Zhou had been waiting on a small pier by the sea, and when he saw his sister and his party from a distance, he jumped up and waved excitedly.Behind him is a brand new fishing boat, I don't know if Lord Dongwu made it for the convenience of his disciples.

Alan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and only now felt a burst of exhaustion that was almost irresistible.

When she first saw Zhan Zhao, although Ah Lan was full of joy, a big stone in her heart fell to the ground.However, she didn't relax completely, because she was still worried that Lord Dongwu would be unfavorable to Zhan Zhao, so she was always on guard.It wasn't until this moment that she really relaxed completely, and suddenly she felt sore all over, and her hands and feet were as heavy as lead.

Zhan Zhao felt that Ah Lan's walking was slowing down, so he asked in a low voice, "Are you sleepy?"

"En." Alan replied vaguely, it was rare for her to indulge her willful and coquettish behavior—although she only admitted that she was a little bit overwhelmed.

Zhan Zhao heard the words, but suddenly slowed down his pace. Ah Lan was a little strange, and felt that someone hugged his knees, and his whole body was hugged by Zhan Zhao.

"Close your eyes and sleep for a while." Zhan Zhao felt sorry for the little girl, his eyes were red from not sleeping all night, if he didn't hold her back, Ah Lan would have fallen to the ground and fell asleep.

Sure enough, Ah Lan blinked a few times in Zhan Zhao's arms, and then fell into a deep sleep.That posture doesn't seem to be falling asleep, but rather fainting.If it wasn't for the steady heartbeat and breathing, Zhan Zhao would have been almost startled.

And they finally embarked on a return trip.
