C46 (1/2)
In the time it took to boil a cup of tea, Xiao Li quietly caught up to the black shadow. He was hiding in hiding as he ran towards another house, stopping from time to time to inspect his surroundings.
After the black shadow entered a corner of the house, it curled up and hid itself in the darkness without moving. This caught Xiao Li off guard and he almost rushed out of the hidden corner of the house.
Xiao Li immediately retreated to a dark corner. He looked around but didn't see any place to hide. This made him scratch his head. The place he was at right now wasn't hidden enough. If someone were to observe him from the shadows, they would definitely be able to detect something amiss.
Just as Xiao Li was thinking that he shouldn't retreat and find a good place to hide, there was a movement. He saw a figure emerge from the house, causing Xiao Li to be so scared that he hurriedly lay on the ground without moving.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he flew into a dark spot, and with another flash, he appeared from another dark spot. His feet moved like flowing clouds and flowing water, heading in the opposite direction from where he and the shadow were hiding, as if he was very familiar with his surroundings, and did not even stop for a moment. It was fortunate that he didn't stop to observe his surroundings, which was why Xiao Li hadn't been exposed. Otherwise, with his skills, he would have been able to find out where he was hiding.
However, he very cleverly used the terrain to conceal his figure, and at the same time, his movement speed had also doubled. Although he was not as graceful as the person in front of him, he had an additional agility, and was as slippery as a loach as his body on the ground.
This caused Xiao Li to be greatly alarmed. The other party's movement technique didn't seem to be like this before. Could it be that he was deliberately slowing down in order to lure him here?
Xiao Li inwardly thought, ”If that's the case, why didn't he expose me and lure me here instead?” He had come here in pursuit of another person and had not even bothered to meet his gaze.
Xiao Li thought for a while. Seeing that the two figures in front of him were about to leave his sight, he stomped his feet and decided to follow them and investigate. He didn't want to arouse his suspicions.
The figure in front was fast. Xiao Li used his Qi to increase his speed and chased after it like lightning. Sometimes he leaped like a tiger, and when he was about to fall, he used his snake like hind legs to hit the ground to gain momentum. However, in order to conceal the sound of his feet hitting the ground, he used his cat like speed to dissolve the impact. Right now, he was treading on thin ice and did not dare to let others discover him, but he did not dare to give up on this opportunity. His inner torment allowed him to unleash all of his potential, allowing him to faintly unleash a godly skill on his Beast Skill.
He felt that the speed of his zhenqi circulation had increased by one fold. The whistling sound of the wind had actually reached his ears. His body immediately twisted and distorted like a huge snake. Xiao Li knew that the vision and hearing of a martial arts expert was extremely sharp. If he were to move at a high speed, it would definitely be detected by the other party. Thus, he used this method to minimize the sound of the wind. He didn't know if it would work or not, so he decided to leave it to fate.
In the time it took to boil a cup of tea, Xiao Li had caught up to the figure in the middle. Xiao Li wasn't sure if the other party really didn't notice, or if the other party had intentionally ignored him. He didn't dare to go too close. He sipped from the ground as far away as he could, trying to hide from the shadows and the terrain while slowing down a little.
It was only after a while did he realize that he was running towards the interior of the main hall. Now that they had already run several miles, he had seen several night shift personnel in between, but most of them were dozing off. Thus, the three of them didn't stop for even a moment.
Suddenly, Xiao Li saw a shadow flash past a door and disappear. He immediately quickened his steps to follow, but what he saw startled him. He saw a wide road in front of him, and it was the road to the training grounds. He quickly dodged to the opposite side of the cave entrance but did not jump out.
Just as Xiao Li retracted his shadow, an extremely thin voice came from a spot a few meters away, ”Stop hiding, come out!”
Xiao Li's entire body tensed, his body curled into a ball, his back bent like a half moon. He looked like a cat whose tail was being stepped on, and his eyes shone with a terrifying light. He knew that if the other party discovered him, then only one of them would survive today. He still had a sliver of hope that the man in the middle had been discovered and was trying to hold his breath like a rock.
As expected, after a moment of silence, a voice came from the other side of the mountain wall. ”Haha, Elder Zhao is indeed worthy of being a disciple of a famous sect. He actually discovered it so quickly.” ”
Sure enough, it was the little monkey's voice. Xiao Li secretly let out a breath of relief, but from what the little monkey said, the person in front of him was the head of the kitchen, Old Zhao. This was out of his expectations. He did not expect Lou Guanwu to send an altar to the outer hall to hide a tiger and a dragon. The situation was so complicated that even a kitchen had so many experts stung it, and each person had their own ulterior motives. Xiao Li thought that would be good as well. The more complicated the situation, the more advantageous it was for him to save them. It would be best if they fought like ghosts and ghosts, allowing him and Ying Ying to escape easily. Xiao Li thought in such a naughty manner while Old Zhao let out a somewhat surprised cry, ”Eh?” He didn't know if he was surprised that the little monkey knew who he was, or if he was surprised about something else.
Xiao Li still didn't dare move. In front of such an expert, he might not be the slightest bit careless. After all, he had been in contact with an expert like Ling Qingyun for a period of time.
After a moment of surprise, Old Zhao asked, ”Little monkey, why are you following me in the middle of the night?” ”
The little monkey laughed. ”What's so important about Old Zhao going to the main altar in the middle of the night?” It couldn't be sleepwalking, could it? ”
Old Zhao coldly snorted. ”Hmph, Little Monkey, you are a smart person. You should know what to ask and what not to ask.”
The little monkey giggled and said, ”Of course I know that some of the information will often cause one to lose their life, but if you don't have some information in our headquarters, you will still lose your life for nothing. Does Elder Zhao know what I told Foreign Dignitary Hong today? ”
Old Zhao said coldly, ”You little rascal, sooner or later, I'll kill you with your mouth.”
The little monkey was still smiling mischievously as he said, ”Elder Zhao, you still have such a fiery temper. If you could change that temper of yours, then perhaps you would be able to act like a disciple of the High Pursuit Sect and become a bit of a god.”
When Old Zhao heard what the little monkey said, he could not help but fly into a rage. His voice became louder by three parts as he shouted, ”What did you say? Are you trying to die? ”
