Sourness

A Jiao asked him, "Do you want to listen?"

Mi Yue hesitated for a moment.

A Jiao tilted his head to look at him, "Do you want it? Do you want to listen?"

"I'm not sure." Mi Yue admitted honestly, "I'm not sure. If this kind of mission is to stay in the mountains to guard the treasure or something... I probably won't obey it. Ajiao, no matter who I am I am a descendant of the future, I am myself first. I have my own life plan, and I have things that I think are important and must be done..."

What he said was a bit messy, and I don't know if Ajiao can understand it.

But Ajiao thought about it, but nodded, "It's okay. Anyway, I'm not your patriarch, so it's okay if you don't listen."

Tired from squatting, Mi Yue simply sat down in front of the cage with her legs crossed.

His feelings at this time were very complicated, as if he felt ashamed of his ancestors.It was also a little tangled, the internal organs seemed to be twisted together, and the instant feeling turned out to be unspeakable exhaustion.

Ajiao seemed indifferent, "I will listen to it later when I want to. It's not a big deal. Now let's talk about the guardian land."

Mi Yue sat up straight.

"I'll take them there." Ajiao said, making a strange voice that seemed to be laughing, "None of these people should try to escape."

Miyue didn't know what to say.He knew that he was not the Holy Mother, but just watching a group of people go to die like this was not what he wanted to see.

"What about you?" A Jiao tilted his head to look at him, "You want to go too?"

Mi Yue smiled wryly, "It's not that I want to go."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Sheng Anxi striding towards him, and asked him eagerly, "What did it say?"

When Mi Yue realized what he said just now, he said it without paying attention.

Miyue was a little frustrated.He is still not proficient enough to grasp his own abilities.

A Jiao bumped his head against the cage, and hissed, "Tell them, I don't want to take strangers with me."

Looking at it, Mi Yue felt that A Jiao was still naive.Sheng Anxi worked so hard to capture him, and then threatened him with his master, how could he let the two of them go without hesitation.

Sheng Anxi asked again, "What did it say?"

Miyue said helplessly: "It said we are strangers. It doesn't want to take strangers with us."

Sheng Anxi frowned, then turned to look at Brother Ye.Brother Ye was also looking at Ajiao in the cage, and was not very happy to see it shaking its head back and forth.This is exactly the coquettish appearance that Ajiao usually shows in front of its breeder.

It was what Ajiao would want to express in such a situation.

Brother Ye suddenly felt a kind of gratifying complex feeling like "I didn't raise you for nothing", or "It's a good thing I have raised you for so long and know my own people".

He winked at Sheng Anxi.

Sheng Anxi just laughed, and said to Mi Yue: "Tell this little thing, we still have you two as translators. Ask it, have you figured out how to get there? If you think about it, let's go."

He looked up at the sky, there were still a few hours before dark, it was impossible to set up camp right now.

Mi Yue pretended to discuss with A Jiao for a while, after several times of probing, these people won't let A Jiao out of the cage, A Jiao finally nodded towards the northwest direction reluctantly.

"Go that way."

Sheng Anxi was overjoyed, and took his men to rearrange their equipment and set off.

Brother Ye walked in front with the cage, and Miyue followed them, and from time to time, following the prompts of Brother Ye or Sheng Anxi, asked A Jiao which direction to go.

It's like an accompanying interpreter.

During this process, Mi Yue also discovered some unusual things about Brother Ye.

Whenever Ajiao wanted to express something to Mi Yue, Brother Ye always felt something.Although he couldn't understand exactly what A Jiao wanted to express, he had a very subtle sense of its emotional changes.

Mi Yue didn't know whether this kind of induction was his innate ability, or it was honed in the process of domesticating A-Jiao for a long time.However, Sheng Anxi should have realized that Brother Ye's ability is not enough to fully understand Ajiao's meaning, and after pointing out the direction for them accurately, he made up his mind to get the descendants of the Xishan tribe.

Mi Yue didn't know where the guarded place they were talking about was.But as the distance shortened, Mi Yue found that Ajiao's body shape was also changing little by little.

At first this change was not obvious, but after two or three days, Miyue found that Brother Ye had noticed it himself, because he began to feel that the cage could not be lifted, so he had to call a helper to come over and lift it with him.

Mi Yue followed behind the cage to carefully look at A Jiao's body shape, and found that it had gained a lot of weight in just two or three days.As for the length... it is coiled in the cage, and the length is not easy to see.

Mi Yue couldn't help asking Sheng Anxi, "Can the medicine you give it suppress its own ability?"

Sheng Anxi smiled but did not answer, but her eyes were somewhat hesitant.

Mi Yue guessed that he was also tangled in his heart. When he gave A Jiao the medicine, it became groggy and couldn't even remember which direction the guardian land was in.If you don't give it medicine, it will change every day. Who knows what kind of changes will happen to it if it gets fatter?

After all, when they caught Ajiao, it was still very young. They probably don't know what kind of abilities such a magical creature like Jiao will have when it grows up.

Mi Yue originally wanted to ask how they could catch A Jiao, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unnecessary to ask.It is estimated that Sheng Anxi's old grandmother who eats inside and out did a good job.

Presumably she is a poor and white country girl who is eager to prove her worth in front of her lover. Since she was a child, she will always tell her lover whether she has seen it with her own eyes or heard the news from her elders and neighbors.

She may not know the details of the guardian land, but the treasure land is guarded by flood dragons, and how the tribesmen in the mountains usually deal with these divine beasts, she will know a little bit.

The thought of Ajiao falling into Sheng Anxi's palm when she was a small one, to be honest, Miyue didn't have any sympathy for these people.

Another day.

They came to a higher hillside. Looking west from here, they could faintly see a dark green mountain peak across a large valley bottom with dense vegetation.

Looking from a distance, the shape of the mountain peak is round and round, and there are several extremely deep vertical lines on it, like a giant's fist protruding from the ground.

At this time, Ajiao has obviously gained a lot of weight again. The space in the cage is limited, and it looks a little aggrieved when it shrinks inside, but when it sees the fist mountain, the whole snake becomes lively, and its tail The tip was thrown back and forth, and the head kept bumping against the railing, making it difficult for the two grown men to lift the cage.

"That's right there." A Jiao told Mi Yue excitedly, "That's the guardian land!"

Mi Yue's heart sank instantly.

Mi Yue looked at the agitated Ajiao in the cage with some concern.Not only has it gained weight, but the scales around it have also changed from gray to a more translucent gray-blue. When the light falls on it, it seems to be surrounded by a layer of hazy moonlight.

Its big glowing eyes also seemed to get brighter.

Bright and mysterious, when it looked at people like Sheng Anxi, Mi Yue even felt that she saw a bit of evil in its eyes.

Without Mi Yue's translation, just watching A Jiao's reaction, Sheng Anxi also knew that they were close to their destination.

The black mountain peak seems to exude some mysterious magic power, which suddenly makes these tired people rejuvenate with new strength, even the most introverted people, their eyes are shining.

When they stopped to rest, Mi Yue couldn't help but say something extra, "There must be another kind of... Jiao in the guardian area. How can you ensure your own safety just like this?"

At this point in the reminder, Mi Yue thought, if these people still refuse to listen, there is nothing he can do.

Sure enough, Sheng Anxi and his assistants all laughed, Ye Ge glanced at him with a very disdainful look, and groaned, "What's so scary about a bunch of beasts?"

He has raised A Jiao for more than ten years, and he often sees it devouring its own kind ferociously, but he has never seen it harm a human being.Even once or twice, it ran out of the cage carelessly, and finally had enough fun, and obediently crawled back into the cage by itself.

Just like a pet that has been raised by humans - this is how Ajiao gradually wiped away their wariness about it.

Sheng Anxi also smiled, with a look of indifference on his brows, "Don't worry, we're all ready. It's a jiao, but it's just a rare beast. A mortal body can't beat a bullet, right?"

Mi Yue, "..."

Sure enough, he was so arrogant that he couldn't think about the problem rationally.Did they think that the Jiao they were going to deal with was just this docile and harmless appearance that A Jiao showed?

Mi Yue gently reminded him, "They are wild animals after all..."

Sheng Anxi glanced at the silly gray snake in the cage, and laughed, "It has lived with humans for too long, maybe it has already regarded us as the same kind. Don't worry, it won't hurt us."

Mi Yue, "..."

Mi Yue wanted to open his mind to see where did his determination come from? !

Lin Qingshan put his hands on his shoulders, "Let's eat."

He transferred the rice that Ajie handed him and stuffed it into Miyue's hand, and asked him in a low voice, "Why are you talking so much?"

Mi Yue shook her head, "It's just a temporary illness. Don't worry, I won't say anything more."

A Jiao turned his head in his direction in the cage, as if laughing at him.

Mi Yue noticed that Ajiao's big, bright jewel-like eyes had changed from bright yellow when they first saw them, to an orange like ripe apricots unconsciously.

Mi Yue was a little startled.

He suspected that Ajiao's abilities might have recovered, but he didn't dare to ask, he was just wondering why Sheng Anxi and the others didn't notice at all?

Something swished overhead.

Mi Yue raised her head subconsciously, and saw the branches and leaves above her head shaking, as if a big bird had just burrowed in there.Others also noticed this movement, but when they looked up, they didn't find anything, so they all looked away.

But Mi Yue always felt that there was something hidden there, and couldn't help but cast her gaze over there again.

The author has something to say:

Every time I get to the ending part, I really don’t want to write, I don’t know why...
