Chapter 40: Weird Old and Young
"There's no need to discuss, I'll be in a group with Shen Xiaobao!" Chu Jun said lightly.
Ruan Fang was a little careful, he thought that Chu Jun would compete with him to be in the same group as Zhao Yu, but he didn't expect him to agree to be in a group with Shen Xiaobao, he was secretly happy in his heart, and said lightly: "Since Chu Jun himself proposed to be in a group with Xiaobao, then it is so decided, I will leave early tomorrow morning, and go back to the camp to gather later!"
Here Ruan Fang is nominally the senior brother of everyone, and his words still have a kind of authority. Zhao Yu glanced at Chu Jun and nodded: "Okay, everyone should pay attention to safety, and release a signal if something happens!"
After the deliberation was completed, everyone rested and sat down.
There was no word all night, and the strange snake never appeared again, and it was safe until dawn. When Chu Jun opened his eyes, he happened to meet Zhao Yu's misty bright eyes, obviously staring at him for a while. Chu Jun grinned, but Zhao Yu turned his head and gave him the back of his head. Chu Jun was slightly stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "Senior Sister Zhao is angry about the grouping last night?"
Chu Jun originally planned to hand over Lei Yingshi directly to Zhao Yu, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he would surprise her after going back this time, so he never mentioned that he had Lei Yingshi. Since Ruan Fang is competing to be in a group with Zhao Yu, then let him be in a group, anyway, he has Lei Yingshi in his hand.
"Tieshi, you guard the camp, and if there is danger, send out a signal!" Zhao Yu handed a signal to Tieshi's hand.
Xiaoxiao took Chu Jun's hand, raised her little face and looked at Chu Jun expectantly, which meant that she wanted to follow. Chu Jun smiled: "Don't look at me, I really can't take you this time!"
Xiaoxiao's face showed a look of disappointment, but she nodded obediently and walked back to Tieshi's side.
"Chu Jun, what kind of soup did you give Xiaoxiao?" Ning Yun said very unhappily.
Chu Jun ignored her, released the flying mount and jumped up, Shen Xiaobao had one leg alone, jumped on the back of the crane with grinning teeth, and said hehehe: "I and Chu Jun may not lose to you on three legs, I don't guarantee that Lei Yingshi will be found by us!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but sweat secretly, what two people with three legs, it sounds awkward!
The Sanba people left the valley on their flying mounts and soon disappeared between the peaks. Tie Shi touched his little yellow hair, and suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, do you think Brother Chu Jun is good?"
The little guy nodded vigorously, his eyes turned into two crescent moon buds, and said, "Okay, I like it!"
Tie Shi squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why don't you follow Brother Chu Jun in the future?"
The little guy was stunned for a moment, then shook his head violently and threw himself into Tieshi's arms, hugging his neck tightly: "I want Daddy!"
Tie Shi picked up Xiaoxiao with a head injury near the Dead Ghost Forest back then, and has always treated her as her own daughter, and even exceeded, in order to treat her, he spent all his savings, and worked hard to earn spiritual beans every day, and the two depended on each other for their lives and had established a deep relationship.
Although Tieshi was extremely reluctant to give up, he understood that he would never be able to raise Xiaoxiao on his own, and besides, he only had one hand left now, and the future would be even more difficult, and it would be a fool's dream to cure Xiaoxiao. Chu Jun is different, he is fully capable of taking care of Xiaoxiao, and he has a good heart, he is very relieved to hand over Xiaoxiao to him, and the most important point is that Xiaoxiao does not reject Chu Jun.
"Xiaoxiao, my father is crippled now, and I can't take good care of you anymore, Brother Chu Jun has a good heart and ability, you are very relieved to follow his father!" Tie Shi patted the back of the little family, and his face was sad and reluctant.
Xiaoxiao hugged Tieshi's neck tighter, tears flowed down her face, sniffed and said, "Take care of Daddy!"
Seeing this, Qi Qin and Liu Liu's eyes were a little moist, and they persuaded: "Brother Tieshi, since Xiaoxiao is unwilling, then forget it, besides, Senior Brother Chu may not agree to take care of Xiaoxiao!"
Tie Shi also felt that it made sense when he heard this, sighed and nodded: "Okay, I'll talk about this later!"
...... Partition......
Chu Jun and Shen Xiaobao landed at the foot of Xue Lao Peak in the center of Wulao Peak. Shen Xiaobao found a mountain rock and sat down, waved his hand: "Okay, you kid go up the mountain to find the ore by yourself, I'll wait for you here!"
Chu Jun was speechless and said, "You are waiting here?"
Shen Xiaobao nodded as a matter of course, and asked rhetorically: "Please, I'm an injured person, are you embarrassed to let me jump up the mountain to look for minerals?"
"Then it's better for you to stay in the camp!" Chu Jun couldn't help crying and laughing.
Shen Xiaobao smiled and said, "How embarrassed is it if you don't make some effort, besides, if you kid finds Lei Yingshi, I can also share some credit!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but speak, turned around and walked towards Xue Lao Peak. Shen Xiaobao said loudly: "Be careful when you walk, don't fall down, otherwise it will be difficult for the master to explain to Senior Sister Zhao!"
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Chu Jun stopped angrily, turned around and said, "What have you said at once!"
"Ouch, you kid is really impatient, and the master is also good for you!"
Chu Jun turned around and continued to walk, as soon as he replied to him, he was sure to talk endlessly, Chu Jun could now understand his temperament.
"If there is danger, remember to put a signal, and the master will go to rescue you immediately!"
"That...... This mountain peak mainly produces moonstone and ice stone, so if you look carefully, you may have a dark iron stone!"
"Hey,...... Running so fast, Lao Tzu hasn't finished talking yet!" Shen Xiaobao looked at Chu Jun's back as he quickly disappeared between the rocks and trees, and scolded stupidly, squinting at the gray crane standing aside combing his feathers, and scolded: "Stinky and beautiful, combing around all day long, it's not gray, it's ugly!"
The gray crane seemed to have long been accustomed to Shen Xiaobao's counting, and after glancing at him, he continued to comb his feathers leisurely. Shen Xiaobao scolded again: "What are you glancing at? You are not convinced to say that you are ugly, comb that bird feather all day long, and you can't soak a single girl, and you will lose the face of the young master!"
"Grandma, is this person a fool?" a crisp children's voice suddenly sounded.
Shen Xiaobao was taken aback, and looked away, only to see an old man and a young man standing on a mountain rock not far from him without knowing anything. The old woman was hunched over, her face was wrinkled, her cheeks were sunken, as if she had lost all her teeth, and there was a cold aura on her body, and ordinary people were afraid that they would get sick if they were stared at by her cloudy eyes. The old woman held a grass-green cane in her hand, and a small green snake was wrapped around the cane. Next to the old woman stood an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, with two pigtails, wearing a small green skirt, revealing two white and tender thighs, and her small face was carved with jade, which was very cute.
Shen Xiaobao's gray crane trembled slightly, and squatted on the ground softly, his eyes full of fear. Shen Xiaobao's heart was full of joy, and a pair of such a strange combination suddenly appeared silently in the mountains and wilderness, which really made people's hearts chill.
"Fool, have you ever seen a little girl of seven or eight years old with a green crystal hanging around her neck?" the old woman suddenly asked, the voice was like brushing the bottom of a pot in the middle of the night, which was extremely harsh.
Shen Xiaobao only felt that the capillary blood in his whole body was coagulated, and he shook his head honestly: "I haven't seen it!"
The old woman turned around and walked away without saying a word on crutches, and the little girl in the short green skirt turned her head to Shen Xiaobao and grimaced: "Fool, let's talk to the birds!"
It wasn't until the two of them walked away that Shen Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said: "His grandma's, scared to death, where did the mountain spirit-water monster run out, scare the little master!" and said: "This chick is quite cute, if you are a few years older, the little master will have to let the bird chat with you!"
The frightened gray crane also stood up at this time and continued to comb its feathers, hearing Shen Xiaobao mention "bird", he habitually responded with a glance. Shen Xiaobao pouted and said, "Look at a fart, it's not about you, the master is talking about the bird in the crotch of his pants!"
Chu Jun searched all the way along the rugged mountain, digging the rocks with his Xuantie sword from time to time. Before coming out this time, Chu Jun had done his homework seriously, and he knew all the ores used for sword refining by heart, as long as he met them, he would definitely be able to recognize them.
The sun was gradually rising, and Chu Jun had been searching for nearly two hours, harvesting a moonstone and two ice primer stones. Adding moonstone to refine the flying sword can automatically glow at night, which has no practical use, but it is very popular with female immortal cultivators. The Ice Attraction Stone can increase the ice attribute affinity of the magic weapon, which is suitable for cultivators who practice ice exercises, and both stones belong to the first-grade refining materials, and their value is not high. Chu Jun's Lei Yingshi is a third-grade material, it has a price and is not in the market, and it is worth at least fifty or sixty thousand spirit beans when it is sold, and if it is auctioned, it may be fried to nearly one hundred thousand.
Chu Jun looked up at the sky and found that it was already noon, the sun was shining directly, and the ice and snow on the summit of Xuelao Peak reflected a dazzling light.
"Such a big mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to search it in ten days or eight days!" Chu Jun said secretly.
At this moment, a large snow-white bird circled over Xuelao Peak a few times before landing on the peak, and there seemed to be a person sitting on it. Due to the obstruction of the trees, Chu Jun only vaguely saw that the person seemed to be dressed in white.
Chu Jun continued to search the surrounding mountains and rocks in the spirit of having more things than small things.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off, Chu Jun found a dark iron mine, and the area within a radius of more than ten meters was full of bare dark iron ore.
Chu Jun dug out a large piece of Xuantie Stone and put it into the Hundred Treasure Bag, which was estimated to be enough to build a Xuantie Sword.
The sun was setting in the west, and Chu Jun went down the mountain satisfied, preparing to come tomorrow to search for another mountain peak. At this time, there was a clear birdsong from the top of the mountain, and a snow-white bird rose into the air, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Chu Jun returned to the bottom of the mountain and saw that Shen Xiaobao's guy was lazily lying on the mountain rock and sleeping.
"I'm back, what's the harvest?" Shen Xiaobao sat up smartly without waiting for Chu Jun to approach, and asked with a grin.
"Let's talk about it later!" Chu Jun released his mount, and the two of them returned to the camp one after the other.
