Chapter 267: An ambush that is not at all unexpected
To put it bluntly, a mere thick-eyed and big-eyed dragon trick wants to play tricks in front of the holy goddess Lu Xi, as if Artoria and Karinbi have the same career line and brain capacity, and their combat effectiveness is not in the same dimension at all. In Lu Xi's opinion, although he knew that this dragon trick was so condescending and suspicious, he didn't take it too seriously.
After agreeing with the old dwarf to come back in a few days to listen to the other party's reply, Lu Xi got up and said goodbye. When he walked out of the shop, it was already dark, so Lu Xi very sincerely invited Long Taojun to have dinner together, but was politely rejected by the other party. The enthusiastic "security captain" strongly demanded that he be treated on the grounds that we valley people are hospitable and good. He led everyone to a small shop in an alley. If the development of common sense is followed, perhaps with the sudden order of Long Taojun, there will be more than a dozen or twenty little hooligans with obscene smiles, yellow teeth, strange dresses, and all kinds of controlled knives in the corners of this alley...... But in fact, nothing happened.
"Famous luxury restaurants are all about fooling outsiders, and only the little shops that locals take you to can taste the real local food." This truth is once again fulfilled at this time. Although the shop is simple, it is clean and elegant, and all kinds of good quality and inexpensive food are eaten so that everyone can almost digest their tongues. At first, Sehireu was worried about whether the dish was poisoned, but she, a genius alchemist and potions scientist, observed for a long time and found no problems, so she finally gave up with suspicion.
According to Long Taojun, the new site of the Aster Orphanage is in a quiet small valley outside the city, surrounded by large maple forests, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. Especially in the autumn when we have just passed the height of summer. The crimson maple forest swayed in the autumn wind, like clouds in the setting sun.
The orphanage is actually quite a distance away from the city. If you follow the pace of a normal person, it will take about half a day to walk along the main road. However, Barron suggested that he could take a shortcut through the maple forest, which would shorten the journey by more than half, and if you set out in the morning, you could arrive before lunch at noon.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being able to save time, even if Sesileu showed a face full of embarrassment, stared at Barron with his eyes and said, "Are you fools when we are?" Lu Xi immediately agreed, and Sai Xiliu choked on a mouthful of juice into his throat, coughing non-stop. While staring at Lu Xi with sad and indignant eyes, he once again expressed with a silent expression, "Has your head been stepped on by the dragon?" ".
I have to admit that Lu Xi and Sai Xiliu's hearts are getting higher and higher, which makes him very pleased. I heard that Raushzi's magic phone, ah no, the psychic link, is maintained by magic, which means that both parties must be spellcasters...... There's probably no hope for that, huh. Why don't you try it with Sehiru first?
Lu Xi thought about this as he walked under the maple forest in the early morning, his eyes looking like a great enemy. Sai Xiliu, who almost looked left and right when he took a step, stroked his chin and nodded. It seemed that he felt Lu Xi's undisciplined gaze, and Sai Xiliu only felt that his hair stood on end. She couldn't help but shudder, and she couldn't help but look back. stared at each other with a shy and angry expression for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "Really." Seeing you look so unalert and heartless, you suddenly feel so nervous, like a fool. ”
"Those who know how to introspect will definitely become great people in the future, and I am once again impressed with Sehireu." Lu Xi nodded.
"Yes, yes, when I become a big man, I will definitely send you to Nanqiu Island to raise alpacas." Sehireu said angrily, "I said, you really don't have to worry about it?" ”
"Worried? Why worry? Dear Sehireu, if people's eyes are too tangled and dark corners, they are destined to ignore many good things in life. ”
is using a third-rate philosophical tone to fool people again. Sai Xiliu finally managed to bear to roll her eyes, but she didn't complain, she was too familiar with the other party now, and knew that no matter what she said, it was useless, it was better to save some effort to deal with emergencies. Moreover, as Lu Xi said, the scenery at this time is indeed very charming.
The autumn sun shines through the yellow and red leaves, and the ground is dappled with dots, as if you are breathing the breath of the sun. Although the temperature is a little low, the warm red color is vibrant, and you don't have time to experience the cold.
It's hard to imagine that this is almost the northernmost part of the world, as long as you cross the northern horizon and walk for a month at most, you will step into the real uninhabited polar regions, but just under the noses of snow-capped mountains and ice fields, there are still clear seasons and clear rivers in the valleys. The unique environment of the valley and the majestic snow-capped mountains surrounding it also form a magnificent scenery in the frozen valley, and it is no wonder that this small autonomous territory has earned the title of "Pearl of the North" and is a well-known center for business and leisure.
"The next time you come to Frozen Valley, if your wallet allows, you must put a small piece of land over there and build a small cottage." As a successful traveler, you are embarrassed to say hello to other travelers if you can't own a private villa in a tourist destination around the world.
"Haven't you always been so lavish in your spending? I've never seen a time when your wallet doesn't allow it. Sai Xi glanced at Lu Xi, a little tasteful. For a civil servant like her, who has to send most of her income home to supplement her family, Lu Xi's consumption habits are sometimes very eye-catching.
"In any case, luxury is not a good habit, otherwise no matter how rich you are, you can't afford to spend it." Sehireu herself didn't hear it, and when she said this, her tone was almost exactly the same as that of a thrifty little daughter-in-law.
If you want to make money, you must first learn to spend money, and this is the right thing. Although Lu Xi really wanted to tell Sai Xiliu this truth, he thought that her expression just now was still quite cute, so he decided to give up for the time being.
However, when it comes to making money, these ancients who have never seen the world have not yet had the consciousness of building a resort in a scenic suburb. All the hotels are in the city, and there are only modest farmhouses near the beautiful scenery. If you really want to hype up the concept of a resort or a farmhouse. There are a lot of business opportunities. Well, so decided. When I go back, I will write a plan first. Then pull Carol and their family to invest with Brother Killitt...... If the wind has any money to spare, take her with you. If she had a new regular income every year, she wouldn't be so miserable that she couldn't even afford a new dress and a bunny doll, right?
In Lu Xi's cognition, the future world is naturally the world of capital, so thinking about new money-making plans is naturally a top priority, so when his train of thought was interrupted, even he couldn't help but be taken aback.
What interrupted Lu Xi's thoughts was a large gray-white fur feline, lying behind a bush on the side of the road. Poked out its large head and let out a low roar at the crowd.
If it is an ordinary person, the first reaction to seeing this large predatory beast must be to turn around and run away, but unfortunately not only did not one of the people present escape, but they all looked at this big guy with great interest.
"This ...... It should be a snow leopard, right? But isn't this animal supposed to live on snowy mountains? ”
"It's also possible that you got lost in the woods from the snowy mountains."
"Are there any wild animals in this world that can get lost?"
"Who knows, haven't we even seen schizophrenic dragons? However, such a large snow leopard is indeed rare......" Lu Xi looked up and down at this majestic big cat. The beautiful silver-gray fur is the best protective color on the snowy mountains, but it is extremely conspicuous in this maple forest.
The big flower cat roared for a long time, and everyone still didn't react, and couldn't help but show a hint of a shocked expression......
Lu Xi couldn't help but be stunned. Then he quickly wiped his eyes, for fear that he was wrong, just now. He really seemed to see the expression on the snow leopard's face.
He was just about to use the exploration technique to see if the other party's heels were some kind of intelligent demonic beasts in the shape of snow leopards. But at this time, Barron, who had been leading the way in front, seemed a little nervous. Suddenly, he ran quickly, and immediately opened a short distance with Lu Xi and them. As he ran, he put his hand to his mouth and whistled loudly.
It was three short whistles, and it was particularly abrupt in this environment, and the snow leopard, as if offended, let out a loud roar of rage, and the fluff of its body exploded like a hedgehog, and took a step towards the running Barron. With the steps of a predator in the Great Snow Mountain, it only takes a few seconds at most to catch up with the opponent and then deliver a fatal blow to a vital point like the throat, right?
However, what happened next made Lu Xi and his friends stunned again. The majestic snow leopard only ran two steps, and its four strong legs were entangled hand and foot, and immediately one stumbled and fell. The big cat panicked, clumsily trying to separate its legs, but obviously weak, not only did the legs not separate, but it rolled itself into a huge hairball, and then accompanied by its own screams, it immediately rolled into the grass, and after a while there was a "poof" sound of water, maybe there was a puddle behind the grass.
…… It's really a good sale! I'm impressed with you, Snow Leopard-kun.
Lu Xi couldn't help but wipe his eyes again, this snow leopard's body can't be the soul of a pig, right? No, you can't be such black pigs, don't look at them like that, but they can run very nimblely.
Lim looked at the direction in which the snow leopard disappeared behind the grass, and then at Lu Xi, who should be asking with his eyes: "Do you want to save it?" Something like that.
"There's no need, Fang is a snow leopard and not a cat, so he won't be able to drown for a while." Lu Xi shook his head with a smile, opened his hand and made a grasping motion, and a white staff had appeared silently in his hand, as if he had grabbed it from another dimension: "Let's get rid of these bad children who are not kind at all first." ”
The halo formed by the rainbow light seemed to emerge from the cracks in the maple tree, and quickly surrounded Lu Xi and the others to form a transparent curtain. The twilight tent trembled inaudibly with a sudden series of "clanging" sounds, and everyone looked at it, but it was a large row of arrows that had been shaken to the ground.
This is the Rainbow Guardian. With the increase of Lu Xi's strength, the sturdiness of the shield has naturally improved, and the scope of protection has expanded to a jaw-dropping level.
Sai Xiliu glanced around, dense but didn't know how many people were hidden in the woods, but I didn't know why, there was no sense of crisis and tension at all, she sighed with a stupid face, pinched a handprint, and lightly tapped the ground with her staff, and three constructed puppets with an average height of more than two meters came out of the magic circle that appeared out of thin air.
After making preparations for the battle, Miss Former Student Council President looked at the dragon set Jun Barun in the distance, and her tone was still lazy and lacking in fighting spirit: "Ah, that guy is really not a good person...... Tsk, there's no drama in what I've known for a long time. It's the first time I've experienced such an unmotivated start to a fight. (To be continued......)
PS: I feel a little better today, if the condition does not recur tomorrow, then I can return to normal daily changes, and I will try to break the debt
