Chapter 669: Rescue Mission
Xi Bai followed the old man into the house, and found that it was even more shabby, a wooden bed with only hay on it, a wooden table, four wooden stools, and in addition, there was a fire with ashes, and nothing else.
The two sat down separately, and the old man looked at Xi Bai and asked, "Young man, is there anything wrong with you coming to this mountain col?" ”
Now Xi Bai was asked, what could he say, saying that he was here to learn miracle skills? It doesn't seem like you can say it directly, right? He pondered for a moment before he said, "The kid doesn't have any purpose, and to be honest, I don't know what is here. ”
Xi Bai's words are naturally not false, or half-truths, after all, he really doesn't know what the miracle here is, so he can only say that there is something here.
The old man glanced at Xi Bai deeply and didn't say anything more, but that look made Xi Bai feel a little furious, after all, those eyes were too deep and too perceptive to people's hearts, as if all the secrets in his heart could not be hidden.
Xi Bai has also faced this strange gaze from other people, such as the eyes of Beichen Louhua, but he can deal with it, plus he has that kind of delusional artistic conception now, it should be even more worthy of this kind of spiritual strange tricks, but when he faced the old man, all this seemed to have lost its effect, and he didn't have the slightest power to resist!
Xi Bai's heart was shocked, he didn't know what level the other party's strength had reached, but he had a feeling that this old man was not much better than the old man of Tianji, and even surpassed!
Just when Xi Bai didn't know what to do and whether to confide the truth, the dilapidated gate was suddenly pushed open, and he saw a middle-aged man with blood on his body and a very embarrassed man breaking in. ”
The old man didn't show any panic on his face, and said calmly: "Don't worry, you can explain things clearly, what is going on." ”
As if infected by the old man's calmness, the middle-aged man really calmed down a lot, and took a breath and said: "It's such a village chief, this morning I went into the mountains with Angkor and them to hunt, and we didn't go to any too dangerous places, even if I went there on weekdays, I didn't find any danger before, but this time I encountered a fierce tiger, the tiger is extremely fierce, we are not opponents at all, we can only escape." But the speed is not as good as the beast, and in the end, in desperation, I only hid in a valley, and sealed the mouth of the valley with a boulder, I am Angkor They entangled the beast, and then came back, what do you think now? ”
The old man nodded when he heard this, indicating that he knew, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xi Bai, and said with a smile: "This little friend, you see that our village is in danger now, my old bones can't stand the toss, and I can catch tigers and snakes when I am young, but when I am old, I am useless, can you help Wu Xiaozi and them?" ”
Xi Bai didn't expect that the other party would ask him to help, let alone believe what the other party said, he didn't know how old the other party was, but if it was useless, it would be impossible, not to mention anything else, Xi Bai thought he was not the opponent of the other party!
But Xi Bai didn't refuse, he thought about it, is this a test for him? In fact, what he is most afraid of is that after coming here, everyone will ignore him, soft and hard, so he really doesn't know how to start, and now looking at the strength of the village chief, the hard one can't come, and the soft one doesn't know where to start.
Now that the other party actually took the initiative to send it to the door, how could he refuse? So Xi Bai quickly agreed happily and said, "Okay! Since the old gentleman can afford the kid, the kid is naturally willing to go, don't worry, I will definitely bring that big brother Wu back! ”
The old man nodded with a smile in his eyes, as if he was very satisfied with Xi Bai's answer, but the middle-aged man who came to report the news looked at Xi Bai with a distrustful gaze, and said to the village chief: "Village chief, I think you should take action personally, that beast is very powerful, we are not opponents together, this ...... This little brother is young, I'm afraid it won't work! ”
Xi's white face was dark, he was actually despised! Isn't it just a tiger, he even fought a unicorn! And the tiger is more powerful than the unicorn?
Suddenly smiled and said: "This big brother can rest assured, although I am not very old, my strength is still good." ”
The village chief also helped: "It's okay, I have my own measure, you just go first." ”
Probably because the prestige of the village chief was too high, the middle-aged man could only reluctantly agree, nodded towards Xi Bai and said: "Since this is the case, then let's go quickly, I'm afraid that it will be too late, the beast has found a way to enter the valley, and the valley is a dead end, if they break in, Brother Wu, they will really be more than lucky." ”
Xi Bai didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly followed the other party out, and the two quickly left the village and ran towards the mountains.
Originally, Xi Bai was still thinking about whether to use light skills by himself to take the other party for a ride, after all, he had already seen that this middle-aged man did not know martial arts, and he did not have the slightest appearance of internal strength, he didn't believe it, the other party was already strong, he couldn't even see any traces of internal force, how could he say that he was also a congenital-level master now!
But soon Xi Bai realized his mistake and realized that he had thought things too simply. Yes, this middle-aged man really doesn't know martial arts, or has no internal strength, but his running speed in the mountains and forests is actually not under Xi Bai! It's like a sensitive ape, it's far away, and it's actually on par with Xi Bai's speed!
Don't think it's easy, you must know that this is the case of Xi Bai using "Getaway", although he did not promote his internal strength to the extreme, but it is not far off.
This made Xi Bai very shocked, this middle-aged man is so fast, and his strength will not be too far behind, in this way, although the other party does not know martial arts, his strength is not about the same as that of a congenital master!
Thinking of the other party's words just now, I think that the strength of other people should be about the same as the other party, so wouldn't there be many people with innate strength? If so, how high is the strength of the tiger? Is this still a beast? This is obviously a strange beast! It's still a very powerful beast! Xi Bai suddenly found that he seemed to be talking too much......
But now, he can't manage so much, since they are all here, how should they go and see, and this may be the test given to him by the village chief, if it can't be completed, he won't get any miracle work, it's still the case, it's better to Bo once, it's natural to say, if you don't succeed, you can only say that he has nothing to do with that miracle.
The speed of the two was very fast, and it took less than half an hour to reach the place, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped behind a tree, raised his hand to signal Xi Bai to stop, Xi Bai immediately hid, and saw that the other party had been running for so long, but he was only slightly gasping, and his face suddenly turned black again, the other party's strength is really strong!
Xi Bai sighed secretly, no longer thinking about this, and began to look at the surrounding environment, and found that they had gone deep into the mountains at the moment, and in front of them, there was a valley formed by two hills, the hill was not high, that is, a small dirt slope, the trees on it were very lush, and there was a crack in the middle, if you looked closely, the crack was blocked by a boulder the size of a house, and you couldn't see what it looked like inside.
Xi Bai didn't see any tiger figure, the middle-aged man saw this situation, his face became unpleasant, he believed, that beast would never leave easily, now that the other party is not here, has he already entered the valley?
Xi Bai sighed and whispered: "Don't worry about this big brother, it didn't take you long to go back and forth, there was no movement of fighting in this valley, and there was no accident when I thought about it, Brother Wu." ”
The other party glanced at him, although his eyes lit up, but he was still not convinced: "How do you know that there is no movement in the valley?" ”
Xi Bai smiled slightly and said, "The distance is so close, if there was any movement, I would have heard it a long time ago." Xi Bai's words are naturally true, his "spiritual awakening skill" is not cultivated in vain, if he can't even hear this, he still shouldn't mix it up!
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "This valley was originally for us to trap the beasts, introduce the beasts into the valley, and then seal the valley with the prepared boulders, and the beasts can only be slaughtered by us. But we kill beasts just to survive! ”
The middle-aged man looked a little confused, and Xi Bai now knew that no wonder they were able to find this valley, as well as this boulder, it had been arranged a long time ago, as for what retribution was not retribution, he didn't believe it anyway.
Xi Bai whispered: "Big brother, don't worry about it first, let's think of a way first, how to rescue Brother Wu and them is important." ”
The middle-aged man came back to his senses when he heard this, nodded and said, "Yes, but the most important thing for us now is actually to find the location of the beast, and only by solving the other party first, Brother Wu, will they really be safe." Besides, this boulder can't stop Brother Wu and them, they are just afraid of that beast. ”
Xi Bai nodded, but now that he is looking for that strange beast and tiger, where can he find it? He actually hoped that the alien beast tiger had already left, after all, he now believed that the strength of the alien beast was definitely very strong, even above him, he was here to help, but not to send him to death, if the other party could go by himself and not meet him, it would naturally be better.
It's just that Xi Bai's idea still fell through after all, and with a tiger roar, Xi Bai knew that this battle was inevitable.
