Chapter 405: The Caged Bird
A hundred zhang away, Zhou Nan hid behind a large rock, squinting his eyes, carefully staring at the dead tree not far away.
Half an hour ago, the two of them arrived here. But for the sake of safety, he did not rush over, but now planned to take a look. After all, it has been several days since he came, and the ghost knows if there will be any changes in the Dao, and he must be careful.
"Strange, Qingyou girl, did you notice the broken branch when we left?" waving his hand at Qingyouni, Zhou Nan pointed to a broken stubble at the root of the dead tree, frowned slightly, and asked in a somewhat uncertain whisper.
Hearing this, Qing Youni was stunned for a moment, and he shook his head without looking at it. Although immortal cultivators can never forget it, it also depends on what happens. It's just a broken branch, who cares about this unless it is necessary? Could this be Zhou Nan?
"What's going on?" asked Qing Youni, leaning over her head and exhaling.
"It's nothing, the branch was fine when we left. Brother Jun, they didn't come back, and there was nothing alive around here. It's a strange thing that the branch is very strong, but it's broken. Zhou Nan said suspiciously.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Qing Youni frowned, her eyes a little strange, more curious.
"No, I paid special attention when I left, and I won't be mistaken. Zhou Nan shook his head, his face suddenly became solemn, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. Immediately, he took up Qingyouni's slender hand and quickly stepped back.
But alas, as soon as he moved, he yelled "Oops." Between the lightning and flint, a golden light flashed. Zhou Nan only felt tight. Under the whirlwind of the world, a birdcage suddenly appeared. put the two of them head-on inside.
Seeing this, Zhou Nan smiled bitterly. He pulled Qingyou Nie behind him, took out the sealed dragon coffin, and was on guard carefully. A pair of pitch-black eyes, flashing with a sharp light, paid close attention to everything around them, lingering with a rich murderous aura.
The enemy launched a wave of attacks, but did not show up. This birdcage is very strong, and the great strength of his body can't even shake it even a bit. In desperation. Zhou Nan had no choice but to put away his thoughts and wait quietly.
After half an hour, with the sound of dull footsteps, two tall figures slowly appeared in the field of vision.
Behind the two of them, the four ragged guys were all unconscious, dragged forward, very embarrassed.
"Tsk. Boy, you're so cautious. If it weren't for the ambush in advance, it would have been really hard to catch you. Chu Duan took the lead and walked to the golden birdcage. knocked on the golden pillar and stared at Zhou Nan with a curious face.
"It's you. What about the three of them?" Zhou Nan didn't care and asked calmly.
"Wow. It's right there. Chu Duan picked his chin and looked at the few guys who had fainted.
See here. Zhou Nan's eyes shrank, and there was a burst of anger in his heart. It's unforgivable that three good people were made into this picture.
But unfortunately, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he couldn't show it, so he could only endure it forcibly.
"Let them go and say what you want. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Nan said quietly.
"Boy, I can't see that you are not only cautious, but you are also a good guts. It's really amazing to be in such a situation, and you can still be happy and angry. The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth lifted, clapped his hands, and praised him with verbose.
Next, as soon as Zhou Nan asked their purpose, Chu Duan changed the topic and said something inconsequential.
couldn't get any useful news, and Zhou Nan didn't care, so he followed the two of them and talked nonsense.
After half a cup of tea, Chu Duan was still chattering, but Chu Zhongxian was a little impatient.
"Surrender, or die. Interrupting Chu Duan with a wave of his hand, Chu Zhongxian waited for Zhou Nan gloomily, and finally got down to business.
It's just that as soon as his words fell, Zhou Nan chose to surrender without thinking about it. Such a terrifying surrender speed, that's called a fast. Even Qing Youni didn't expect that he would do such a thing, his face was shocked, and his eyes widened.
Stunned for a moment, Chu Zhongxian had to swallow back the nonsense of preparing a large basket of persuasion, only to feel a tightness in his chest for a while. "Since you choose to surrender, then this pill, you swallow it. Chu Zhongxian took out a pill and handed it to him.
With a slight smile, Zhou Nan took the pill. This pill is about the size of a dragon's eye, the color is blood red, and the surface is covered with turquoise runes, just a light sniff makes people dizzy and nauseous for a while, and it is not a good thing at first glance.
After a pause, Zhou Nan tilted his head, threw the pill into his mouth, frowned, and swallowed it with a bitter face.
As soon as the pill entered his abdomen, Zhou Nan felt that the strength of his whole body was instantly out of control.
In the dark, there is a strange force that deprives him of the initiative.
After a little temptation, Zhou Nan knew that he had been controlled.
Next, he will have no ego, no choice, just a puppet.
"Very good, what about you?" Glancing at Zhou Nan appreciatively, Chu Zhongxian pointed the finger at Qingyouni.
Hearing this, Qing Youni's face turned pale, clenched his teeth, and his eyes flickered.
Somehow, at such a special moment when her life was at stake, she turned her head to look at Zhou Nan.
Seeing this, the corners of Chu Zhongxian's mouth lifted, and he already had an absolute grasp of the control of Qingyu Nirvana.
Seeing Qing Youni's eyes, Zhou Nan frowned, and the complicated color in his eyes flashed, so he nodded.
Although this may not be in line with the mind of Qingyou Nirvana, how can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves? If they do not bow their heads, the enemy will be strong and we will be weak, and we will have to bow our heads at the worst. The result is the same, so why suffer that sin again?
After struggling for a while, Xu was because of Zhou Nan's interference, Qingyouni nodded, took the pill handed by Chu Zhongxian, raised his head and swallowed it. So far, like Zhou Nan, she has been unlucky to become Chu Zhongxian's puppet.
"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful!" The two of them were controlled so easily, and Chu Zhongxian was in a good mood.
Without delay, he beckoned Chu Duan and put away the birdcage. Then he took them and left the place where he was, and walked into the distance.
swallowed Chu Zhongxian's elixir and became his puppet. Zhou Nan started working as a coolie very sensibly, and took the initiative to drag Jun Baige and them for Chu Zhongxian and the others. He followed obediently, with a humble face, very quiet, without the slightest resistance and dissatisfaction.
Qingyouni also came to her senses, just quietly followed Zhou Nan's side, lowered her head, and didn't say a word, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. The two of them behaved so well, and Chu Zhongxian, who watched it, was satisfied for a while, and only felt that he was lucky today.
"What are you for?" Passing by a corner, Qing Youni suddenly stuck to it, biting Zhou Nan's ear, and asked in a low voice.
Her movements were very hidden, and she retreated at the first touch, and Chu Zhongxian and the others in front of her didn't notice it at all.
Raising his hand and scratching his somewhat itchy ears, Zhou Nan smiled slightly and shook his head.
Such a choice is the most rational choice. What is the point of being a puppet in order to survive? There is no reason at all, and it is naturally impossible to explain it.
Nodding thoughtfully, Qing Youni smiled slightly, and fell silent again.
In the process of advancing, Zhou Nan also divided some thoughts and checked Jun Baige and them.
But fortunately, the three guys were just beaten and fainted, and they were forcibly fed the pill. I suffered some flesh and skin, but it was not a big deal.
The three of them were fine, and Zhou Nan naturally breathed a sigh of relief. Although they have been controlled and become puppets. But as long as you are alive and not dead, then there is hope. Putting down the stone in his heart, Zhou Nan laughed.
At this moment, he laughed very thickly, very thickly!
As for the other man, he has been completely beaten into a pig's head. Zhou Nan looked at it for a long time, but he didn't recognize who it was.
What's more, this man is completely dead. It was erased from the sanity and refined into a real puppet.
Lowering his head and mourning in silence for this poor fellow, Zhou Nan put away his messy thoughts.
This time, the sheep entered the tiger's mouth and became a caged bird, and it was also their fate to say that they met Chu Zhongxian and them, so they ended up like this.
These two people don't know what means they have used, their strength has not been suppressed at all, and they are not capable of fighting at all.
Based on these reasons, Zhou Nancai did not choose to fight hard. reluctantly gave up everything and chose to become a puppet.
Although this is done to the extreme, there is still no good end, but for the time being, it can win a glimmer of opportunity.
With Zhou Nan and a few people, Chu Zhongxian and the others did not make a detour, and walked straight towards the mountain in the distance.
Looking at the direction he was traveling, Zhou Nan frowned slightly, he had already guessed his thoughts, and began to think of his own back road.
A distance of thousands of miles, if you use Zhou Nan's current cultivation to catch up, it will undoubtedly be a laborious thing.
But with the existence of two two-star barbarian marquis to open the way, he walked easily as if he was the uncle.
Because most of the zombies were summoned, Zhou Nan and they walked easily. In less than two days, I came to a place 100 miles away from the mountains. But when he got here, Chu Zhongxian decisively stopped and did not continue to move forward.
In a small cave, Zhou Nan and several people were randomly thrown in a corner. Chu Zhongxian and the two were around a fire, eating barbecue and drinking wine, while facing a map, constantly discussing something, looking mysterious.
The two discussed loudly and did not shy away from suspicion at all. Even when Zhou Nan heard it, they didn't care.
For them, as long as Zhou Nan takes that pill, his net worth and life are theirs, so they don't have to worry about it at all.
But unfortunately, the reason why a secret is a secret is because there are very few people who know the Tao. If there are more people who know the Tao, then even if he is a real puppet, he may cause unnecessary trouble.
But the two of them are very confident and don't care about these things at all. But for Zhou Nan, everything they discussed was undoubtedly the most valuable thing. Listening to it, a plan was quickly formed in his mind, and he unconsciously gave birth to a little confidence, which is really a miracle. (To be continued......)
