Chapter 878: Crippled Squad
The time is already July, if it is in the Southern Tang Dynasty or the Northern Han Dynasty, the sun is already scorching. However, on Hongfeng Island, it is still relatively cool because of the constant sea breeze. But even if it's hotter, it's only relative to ordinary people, and most secret practitioners won't care about this heat. However, there are exceptions among the Mysteries.
Meridian City is a small city on the shore of Red Maple Island, there is only one inn in the city, and the inn has only five rooms, in addition to that, there is a pergola built with reeds outside the door.
A very fat young secret man wiped his sweat and complained at the same time: "Old man Mo, the ancestors and grandchildren are getting more and more grinding to do things, and they still haven't come after so long." ”
Next to this secret person, there were also two young female secret masters, the leader was dressed in an emerald green skirt, and she said, "Senior Brother Feng, don't worry, you drink a glass of water first!"
The fat secret couldn't help but say, "Senior Sister Liu, do you think I can't be in a hurry? Our six-person team is now only three of us, which is half less! If Old Man Mo and the three of them don't join in, even if we rush to the gathering point, we won't be qualified to participate in the action!"
The female secretor's face couldn't help but be grim, revealing a sad expression, and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Feng. If it weren't for saving us, your two brothers wouldn't have died......"
The fat secret man waved his hand and said, "Oh, Senior Sister Liu, I didn't mean to blame you. Besides, in that case, my two senior brothers were seriously injured, and even if I didn't rescue you, it would be difficult for me to escape. Speaking of which, our cultivation is still not enough. After speaking, he sighed, took a sip of the teacup, spit it out again, and shouted to the shopkeeper, "What a broken tea, change a pot for the master!"
"It's gone. Love to drink or not!" the shopkeeper lazily fanned the pu fan, ignoring them.
"You're ......" The Fat Secret couldn't help but be angry. Because of his emotion, his sweat dripped down the table.
"Senior Brother Feng, he doesn't know your identity either. Besides, what to do with a mortal. Look, it's Senior Mo here!" said the female secretor, pointing ahead.
The person who came was Tang Xuan's junior brother, Mo Taichong of the original Seven Star Gate, and the fat secret was Feng Tian of the Ten Thousand Secret Gate.
"Senior nephew Feng, I'm late, I'm sorry!" Mo Taichong said.
"Uncle Mo, I said that I would meet and leave on time at noon, what time is it now?" Feng Tian stood up, pointed to the slightly westward slanting sun, and suddenly found that Mo Taichong was here alone, so he asked, "What about your son and grandson?"
Mo Taichong smiled apologetically and said, "Senior nephew Feng, I'm here to tell you that the three of us can't come to join your team. ”
Feng Tian's eyes widened and he asked, "Why, didn't we talk about it?"
Mo Taichong smiled awkwardly and said, "No why." ”
Feng Tian pointed at Mo Taichong and said, "Uncle Mo, the three of us have been waiting for you for a long time, and what we are waiting for is your words?"
The other two female secrets also stood up, looked at Mo Taichong pitifully, and said, "Uncle Mo, you should come to our team......
Mo Taichong gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't come." I have my own struggles. Good luck. With that, he ran away.
Feng Tian was furious and slapped it down, and the tea bowl was smashed.
The shopkeeper who cranked the puff fan glanced at him and reminded: "If you break three tea bowls, you need to pay three taels of silver!"
Feng Tian pointed to the table, a fireball popped out, and he directly lit the table, and said, "Okay, it's all for you! Let's go!" After speaking, he left with the two female secrets, leaving the stunned shopkeeper without saying a word for a long time. It took him a long time to react and shout, "Boss, there are thieves making trouble!" But by this time, the three secret people had already run clean.
Feng Tian and the other three went out of the city, all with sad faces.
"Three people, even if we get to the gathering point, we won't be able to receive the task. The female secret, who had not spoken, said.
"Hey, it's just a matter of trying your luck. If you encounter a lone secret on the way, you must force it in if you say anything!" Feng Tian said.
"It's hard to find a lonely secret now. However, Senior Brother Feng, you are well-connected on Hongfeng Island, and you may really be able to bring in a few people. The female secretary surnamed Liu said.
"Senior Sister Liu, you're really joking. I used to really feel like I was a bit connected. But look at what time it is now? There are secret masters everywhere, and yesterday I even saw two secret sects in a row! God, when did a high cultivator become so worthless? Do you think with our identity, how much weight can we have to go out and talk now?" Feng Tian sighed and wiped his sweat.
The two female secrets stopped talking, feeling that the future was extremely bleak.
"If you can't get the task, this trip will be in vain. The most important thing is that we didn't have the opportunity to participate in the expedition to the Secret Mansion Ruins at the beginning, and it has nothing to do with us if we have any chances in the future......" said the female secret who was left behind.
When Feng Tian heard this, he seemed to be poked in the heart, he slapped his face and said, "No matter what, we have to make up enough six people! Let's go, see how luck goes!"
The three of them made their way to the pier by the sea. Meridian City is small, and the dock by the sea is also small, with only one boat docked.
"Boatman, go to Lantau Island ahead!" Feng Tian said.
"I'm sorry, officer, this ship has been chartered by someone else. "The boatman is a middle-aged man who looks honest.
"It's okay, we'll pay double the fare, you just come with us." Feng Tian said impatiently.
"I'm really sorry. I've already received the guest's deposit. The boatman said.
Feng Tiangang wanted to lose his temper, but he couldn't help it when he thought about it. As a secret, even though his status is far above that of mortals, there is no reason to buy and sell. Of course, not all secret minds think so. There are also a large number of reckless people among the secrets. However, Feng Tian is not a bully.
"Where is the guy who chartered your boat? Let's discuss with him, and if he is willing to give it to us, you can naturally go with us, right?" said the female secretary surnamed Liu.
"It's nature. The guest officer had gone for a stroll around the neighborhood, but he should have returned. The boatman looked at the sun and said.
"Where did he charter your boat?" the female secretary surnamed Liu continued to ask.
"It's Lantau Island too. The boatman said truthfully.
Feng Tian and the other three people were all dazzled. Lantau Island is a desert island nearby, which is why it was chosen as the gathering point. Since the other party is also on Lantau Island, it is very likely that he is a secret. That way, you'll have one more person in the squad. If there are four people, you may be able to find someone to accommodate you and borrow a task.
The three of them exchanged ideas with each other, and they all felt that it was feasible.
At that moment, the boatman said, "The guest officer is here." ”
Feng Tian and the other three looked at it, and there was indeed a young man in a green shirt walking slowly in the distance. He watched the tide rise and fall, and his expression was focused, as if the waves were made of secret stones.
Feng Tian smiled and said to the female secret surnamed Liu: "Senior Sister Liu, you also saw that he is a man. I have a bad temper. If he is really a secret one, pull him into our team, you rely on you and Senior Sister Cao. ”
