Chapter 89 The Little Loach Pretending to Be Dead
On the hiking trail, Jingjing from the Imperial Capital Academy was explaining to Mo Fan, who had escaped the net for the past nine years, the monster postures of Dongting Lake.
"Just follow this abandoned railway and go straight until you reach Jinlin City." Song Xia checked the map and pointed to the moss-covered railway track under her feet.
The two parties discussed the leaders of both sides on the way. Lu Xuan was not interested in this and quickly decided on Song Xia from Mingzhu Academy and Lu Zhenghe from Imperial Capital Academy.
He was alone at the back, admiring the scenery outside. It must be said that apart from the monsters outside the Anjie, the scenery outside was quite nice.
The railroad tracks have completely decayed and are covered with weeds and moss, extending straight into the lush green forest ahead.
Soon the group of people determined the route and headed along the railway tracks towards Jinlin City. Several demons appeared along the way and were all dealt with by others. The remaining souls were also all absorbed by the frog pendant.
Although they were all slave-level monsters, Lu Xuan felt very good to be able to gain something without having to do anything.
At this time, after dealing with a demon, Mo Fan saw that Little Loach had no reaction at all, and all the remaining souls of the demon floated to the back.
He turned his head and looked back, and found that the remnant soul was beside Lu Xuan, and disappeared almost instantly.
Mo Fan was very surprised. You know, the little loach was very greedy. Normally, it would not let go of any remaining soul that appeared. But now, it was as if it had frozen and did not react at all.
When Lu Xuan saw the strange look in Mo Fan's eyes, he knew that the other party had noticed the frog cub absorbing the residual soul.
However, he didn't care. In this case, at most he had a high-level ghost vessel, so he didn't worry about the frog boy being exposed.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he said jokingly, "A few residual souls, why is Xiaofanzi reacting so strongly?"
Mo Fan couldn't help scratching his head. "Brother Xuan, those things are all ownerless. I'm just a little surprised."
He could easily slaughter several slave-level monsters, let alone Lu Xuan, who was just a matter of moving his hands.
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows, "What's so surprising? It's not too precious to collect such a thing."
Hearing this, Mo Fan nodded. Lu Xuan could get things like soul seeds, so the ghost vessel was not a too precious thing for Lu Xuan. As for the abnormality of the little loach, he did not ask, after all, everyone has secrets.
Soon, the group of people who were training came to a tunnel and stopped.
The tunnel was two kilometers long, and soon two different opinions emerged in the team. Song Xia advocated going over the mountain and going around it, while Lu Zhenghe wanted to go straight through the tunnel.
While the debate was going on, everyone turned their attention to Lu Xuan and Mu Ningxue, hoping that their captain could make a decision.
Lu Xuan said lazily, "No need to bother, just go over there."
He knew that there were quite a few monsters here, and since it was on his way, he didn't want to let them go, at least it would be some income.
Mu Ningxue glanced at Lu Xuan with her beautiful eyes and continued, "To save time, we also need to reach Jinlin City as soon as possible to start the training mission."
When everyone saw that their captain had spoken, they all agreed to go straight through.
"There may be a lot of demons hiding in this tunnel. Someone has to lead the way and cover the rear." Lu Zhenghe said, looking into the dark tunnel.
"Just leave this kind of thing to my rock giant."
As he spoke, Zheng Bingxiao had completed the construction of the summoning star and summoned out his three-meter-tall rock giant, ready to go in and clear the way.
Song Xia volunteered and said, "Then leave the task of covering the rear to me." "I will take care of the task of covering the rear, Song Xia, you just follow the team." Lu Xuan said slowly.
Everyone had no objection to this. Something like covering the rear does indeed require a strong person to do it, after all, they have to protect everyone's safety.
After a brief discussion, they quickly decided on a formation and stepped into the dark tunnel together.
As the tunnel had not been used for many years, it was filled with all kinds of miasma. Even though Zhao Manyan had used Guangyao to purify it, it did not have much effect.
As soon as Lu Xuan stepped into the tunnel, the smell of decay hit him. He said to Mu Nujiao in front of him with a serious face: "Come closer to me later. If anything unexpected happens, I can protect you."
Mu Nujiao was wearing a tight long T-shirt and skinny jeans today, showing off her advantages to the fullest, and she had a faint fragrance on her body.
In this environment, it can be called a mobile version of perfume. How could Lu Xuan not let it get closer?
Mu Nujiao turned her head, feeling somewhat happy, and smiled at Lu Xuan, "My strength is much stronger than before, so don't worry too much about me."
Now that she has the support of the three-step tower and wind spirit seed, her strength has long since reached the level of a second-level intermediate magician, and her combat skills are not weak.
However, her tall legs slowed down her pace as she waited for Lu Xuan to come forward.
Lu Xuan walked forward and walked together with Mu Nujiao, and immediately felt that the smell just now had dissipated a little.
He said slowly: "Worrying about this kind of thing will not be reduced because of the strength of the matter."
Mu Nujiao's pretty face turned red when she heard these words. She looked carefully at the people in front of her, and only felt relieved when she saw no reaction.
"No problem will happen to me, don't worry. Besides, if there is any problem, I believe you will save me."
Lu Xuan glanced at Mu Nujiao and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems in practicing again, just practice with peace of mind."
Mu Nujiao couldn't help but nodded. She looked at the nervous people in front of her. She was different from others. She had complete trust in Lu Xuan.
At this moment, Lu Xuan sensed movement on the wall of the tunnel, and he knew he had arrived at the location of the cave demon slave in the original book.
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the void around him, and a roar exploded in the empty tunnel.
Suddenly, a blue light appeared in the dark tunnel, illuminating the tunnel wall on one side. The entire wall was covered with a large number of black vines, as complicated as a spider web.
A pair of eyes were staring at the group of people through the gaps in the black vines. The figure looked to be about two meters tall, holding a bone stick with brown dried blood in his hand.
"Cave Demon Slave! Everyone be careful!"
Jingjing is indeed a top student in the Imperial Capital Academy, and she recognized the type of monster at once.
As Lu Xuan's heart moved, the lightning in the air turned into several lightning chains, attacking the thing hidden behind the wall.
The cave demon slave locked by lightning will fall into the cave inside the wall in an instant.
Spots of light appeared on the charred corpse and were quickly absorbed by the frog pendant.
