ntial area. The buildings aren't very tall, and the shops on the ground floor are all bustling. There's a small eatery inside which is packed with people. We decided to sit outside to have a little sn...The grenade explosion was contained within a certain range, that must have been done by Mu Wanchen. 。But when the smoke cleared, there was only the sound of water flowing in the mountain stream, and Mu Wanchen's figure had vanished. 。"...Your husband will be fine." 。Long Xiaoge raised his hand and wiped his eyes. 。Both of us were in a terrible state, covered in wounds, dirt and blood. 。"But he's gone!" I lay on the edge of the stone platform, squinting hard to look down. 。"...The descendants of the Ling Shan Shamans, those who inherit the position of Shaman King, how could they possibly not handle such a trivial explosion..." 。“Long Xiaogē frowned and said, “I heard that traveling between ‘jìe’ and ‘jìe’ takes time. He might appear soon.” 。“ Really” I looked at Long Xia with suspicion. 。 Long Xiaoge let out a long sigh and replied, "I wouldn't speak falsely... our clan also has immortals..."His words had just fallen when I saw several wisps of blue smoke swirling behind him, suddenly flying in both directions, as if a huge eye, its pupil suddenly widened— "Ah——!" My exclamation escaped my lips. 。Could it be that just at this crucial moment, the old monster hiding in another dimension is about to appear! The hand reaching out from inside was not that massive withered claw covered in black spots, but a familiar and warm pair of hands. 。"You know quite a bit." 。Mu Wanchen appeared in the spatial rift. 。He smelled of gunpowder, his clothes singed and tattered by the flames. 。I let out a breath, he didn't seem to be hurt. 。"...heard some rumors only..." 。"Long Xiaogē let out a long sigh of relief and moved his shoulders." 。The wound I bandaged him had long since burst open, the blood soaking through the bandage. 。"Qīng pā miáo wáng, hēi pā miáo wáng…… you are from which branch" Mù Wǎn chén reached out and lifted me up, turning his head to ask. 。"... What's the point of Qingpa and Heipa now Where is there even a Miao King We are just nameless servants, hiding within the Taoist sect to serve our ancestors..." 。“Long Xiaogē said sarcastically,” 。I buried my head in Mu Wanchen's neck, the smoke couldn't cover the warmth on his body. I tightened my grip on his neck, refusing to let go. 。He seemed to know my feelings, holding me with one hand and gently patting my back with the other to comfort me. 。"Let's go, let's get out of here first—" Mu Wanchen held me and turned around 。A sudden gale swept out of the cave mouth, his body tensed instantly, he pulled Dragon Little Brother back with a jerk, and we both jumped back!The stench was fierce, surging into us from the cave entrance. 。That gigantic snake's massive body nearly blocked the entrance of the cave. It was battered by Bai Ni and darted around, revealing its true form. 。It was a giant python, at least two meters thick around the waist, with several scales on its body broken. 。After its defeat, it swiftly darted into a cave, dragging with it gusts of chilling, fishy stench towards the stone platform below. 。Below is a mountain stream, a giant snake suddenly fell into the water, splashing water everywhere, it plunged into the dark river and escaped. 。Bai Ni has already become a Jiao, her temperament is much more gentle than that of an ordinary giant snake. It's probably that after a long time, her ferocity has been tempered. Her current size is much larger than a giant snake, but she knows we are in the cave and does not dare to use violence to destroy the entrance. She just hangs her head and stares at the inside of the cave. 。Such giant eyes and giant beasts, yet I feel a strange sense of kinship. 。Kindness and cruelty are not about appearance, but about temperament. Things with a kind temperament will make people's hearts softer. 。Looking at Bai Ni, who was carefully tending to the gu, and then at Xiao Scorpion Ling Zheng on my shoulder, my fondness for these gu spirits grew even stronger. 。Long Xiaogē was pulled by Mù Wǎn Chén, and the wound on his shoulder tore open. His forehead was soaked with cold sweat, and he slumped against the mountain wall, panting. 。 “He… how bad is his injury” I couldn’t help but ask Mu Wanchen. 。"You bandaged the wound, but you don't know how serious it is" Mu Wanchen frowned slightly. 。I thought he wasn't happy, afraid that he felt Long Xiaogē was holding him back. Just as I was about to speak, I saw Mu Wanchen say to Long Xiaogē: "… You can't die, even if you die, you have to return to your roots and die in your Miaowang City. This is your responsibility" 。What do you mean Are you saying I'm going to die and come back to life Long Xiaoge twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered, “...I understand. I won’t die.” 。"Won't he die" Mu Wanchen whispered, a little puzzled. 。 Long Xiaoge smiled, didn't answer, and with effort pushed himself up. He staggered and followed us out of the cave. 。 Mu Wanchen turned his head and drew a few talismans, sticking them to the desiccated corpse leaning against the door panel. The talismans ignited quickly, flames licking at the withered flesh. 。"...Are you going to burn all of these things" I asked softly. 。“Well, let them return to dust. Otherwise, they’ll be used by the Dragon King, which is always a headache.” 。He replied. 。"What kind of plot does the Dragon King have What does he look like Tell me, so I can be on guard. Otherwise, it's impossible to defend against everything...""...His appearance is different. Didn't you see him When he knocked you unconscious, didn't you see" asked Mu Wanchen. 。"I... I didn't see clearly" 。At that time, I only saw a shadow and didn't pay attention at all. 。But since this fat slob isn't the Dragon King, he must be someone close to him! The Dragon King is hiding beside him, using this fat fool as a shield to confuse our vision. 。It stands to reason, how could the cunning and sly Dragon King so easily expose his true face 。I began to suspect that old man in the suit. He was with the fat guy back then, maybe he's the real Dragon King. 。I didn't have time to think much, the scene in front of me as I came out of the cave left me speechless. 。Bai Ni didn't know how to fight that giant snake Guiling. All the bamboo buildings outside collapsed, and the ground was covered with broken bamboo strips. Even the forest was "blown away" in a large area! It coiled itself at the entrance of the remaining "nursing home", its tail sweeping across the gate and destroying the fence and wires. Sparks burst under the night sky. 。"Little Lu'er, why don't you sleep for a while" 。Mu Wanchen pressed my head against his shoulder, letting me lean against him. 。"Huh Sleep I... how can I sleep in this kind of environment" I was stunned 。"...and you still need to drive" 。Mu Wanchen raised his head helplessly and glanced at the round moon in the sky. 。It was then that I realized the moonlight had grown much dimmer. 。No, you can't say it was dim, just that it lacked the previous kind of strangeness and magnitude. 。This is the ordinary moonlight. 。He let out a soft sigh: "The magic of shifting stars and changing battles...it's always a bit taboo...Come on, there's no danger with me here. But I'll ask you to drive first." 。"...good" 。I nodded, and once we were back on our own turf, I wouldn't be so afraid of any demons or monsters. 。I really couldn't fall asleep, I could only lie on Mu Wanchen's shoulder and close my eyes to rest. He and Long Ge would destroy any wandering corpses or ghosts they encountered without mercy. 。I don't dare to think about what will happen to the people in that village, those people probably won't have a good ending, Lao Zhang couldn't even walk out of his sweetheart's house. 。"...burn it all to ashes..." 。"Long Xiaogē said coldly," 。"No, there aren't many living people left here anyway. Besides... the Dragon King wouldn't leave any survivors. We don't need to bear the karmic burden." 。Mu Wanchen said lightly. 。Long Xiaoge let out a grunt and didn't retort. He followed Mu Wanchen and continued walking. I lowered my eyes to glance at Long Xiaoge. His gaze fell upon my hand... he heard Lin Yanqin ask if they should capture him alive, he became immediately excited, like someone had injected him with chicken blood.Causing trouble, causing trouble... he just couldn't wait to...
