C126 (2/2)
”Where is your City Lord?” Ouyang Yu loudly asked. No one answered Ouyang Yu's question; they were only trembling with fear as they held onto the weapons in their hands. Ouyang Yu knew it was useless to ask them. He immediately got up and flew inside. The soldiers knew that they could not stop him, so they could only allow Ouyang Yu to search. He scanned through the City Lord's Mansion a few times, but didn't find any trace of Dufu. Ouyang Yu had no choice but to grab a random leader and bring him to a secret location. ”Where's your City Lord? Tell me!”
”Lo, Lord! This humble one really does not know where the City Lord has gone to! ” The little leader trembled in fear, afraid that he would anger the Evil God in front of him if he was dissatisfied in the slightest.
”Then did you not see anyone leave just now?” The leader pondered for a moment. ”Lord, I'm afraid that the few of you are looking for trouble with me, so …”
”If you have any concerns, just say them out!”
”General Dufu is a very suspicious person. If anything happens to him outside, he'll definitely blame it on me when he comes back. So can you ask some other generals after I'm done?”
Ouyang Yu smiled and said, ”You are a thoughtful kid. Alright, I'll listen to you!”
When the leader saw Ouyang Yu agree to his request, he smiled at him and said, ”Sir, I just saw the mayor and three monks heading in that direction.” The leader pointed in a direction, ”When they left, they seemed to be carrying something in their hands. However, I didn't discover what it was.”
”Good, very good!” You can go back first! After Ouyang Yu sent off the first leader, he called the other leaders to ask a few more questions. Then, he pretended to have obtained nothing and quickly ran in the opposite direction before taking a detour and continuing onward.
Ouyang Yu had been rushing in this direction the entire time, and after nearly twenty minutes, there was a huge mountain in front of him. The sounds of birds chirping came from within the cave. They must be here. Ouyang Yu's primordial spirit began to scan the inside one by one. The mountain range was extremely large. Although Ouyang Yu's primordial spirit covered an extremely large area, it wasn't possible to find their hiding place at the moment. This put Ouyang Yu in a difficult position. At this time, it definitely wouldn't be good if they sneaked out with their child in their arms. The more time they spent, the more danger they would be to the child. Just when Ouyang Yu was at a loss, he suddenly felt a huge fluctuation in his pet space. Ouyang Yu focused his mind and looked inside. He saw that the little qilin had returned to its original form. Its huge body would occasionally fluctuate. Every time it shook, a layer of fur would fall off. Soon, the fur on the qilin's body was completely shed, but soon, another layer of red fur grew on its body, the same color as the fire in its mouth. Red balls of fire were jumping on his fur from time to time.
Even though Ouyang Yu had used his Primordial Spirit, he could clearly feel the terrifying temperature contained within the flames. Then, something even more strange happened. After a fierce jump, all of the flames suddenly retreated, and a layer of crimson scales covered his entire body. His entire body began to shrink, and his giant claw slowly became smaller, until it finally became a small white leg. At this moment, the Qilin also comfortably played two rounds inside before slowly opening its eyes.
”Little Qi, it seems like your strength is almost as strong as boss's!” Ouyang Yu shouted in surprise. One must know that taking human form was a dream of every magical beast. After taking form, not only would their strength greatly increase, their intelligence would be no different from a human, and their cultivation would also increase by a lot.
”Boss, you're handsome, right?” The little qilin used its hand to stroke its smooth head.
”Handsome, of course I'm handsome, especially that XXX of yours.” Following that was Ouyang Yu's burst of laughter.
”Boss, you can't laugh at me like that.” The little qilin also shyly used its hand to block the way to the hidden place.
”I won't laugh at you anymore!” Ouyang Yu took out a set of his own clothes and discovered that they were indeed too big. When he put them on Little Qi, it was as if he was wearing a skirt, making him feel extremely awkward.
”Forget it, boss, you should just keep it for yourself!” The little qilin's body suddenly flashed and returned to how it was before.
”I'll take you to buy some nice clothes after you've settled that matter for me.” Ouyang Yu intentionally lured him.
”I knew it wouldn't be good if you kept on shouting at me!” The little qilin seemed to have already gotten used to this. It righteously said, ”Boss, just say whatever it is!” Do you smell anything else here? The little qilin sniffed the ground and said, ”There are quite a few human auras here. Who are you looking for?”
”Are there any auras of four people together?” The little qilin sniffed the air again, ”The four of them didn't notice anything, but there were five of them and three of them!”
”There really aren't any!” Ouyang Yu asked doubtfully. Boss, do you think I'm lying to you? There are only a few auras here, how can I not be able to smell them? Boss, tell me, who exactly are they? ”
”It's four bad guys holding a baby running in here. I've been looking for them for a long time!” After the little qilin heard this, he looked at Ouyang Yu with wide eyes. ”Boss, did you get it wrong?” ”Is that four or five people?” Ouyang Yu fiercely slapped his head. ”Yo, look at my head!” He smiled awkwardly.
Under the little qilin's lead, Ouyang Yu followed the aura all the way.
In a formation in the depths of the mountain range, four people were drawing strange seals with their hands. Extremely expensive spirit stones were being continuously shot out from their bodies and embedded into one formation after another. On a nearby grass field, a child was crying loudly. However, these four people didn't have the slightest bit of pity in their eyes as they focused on setting up their formation.
”Once the formation is set up, you can guard me from the outside. No matter who or what, as long as you approach, you will be killed without question!” Hearing the order of a lama, who was so skinny that only a layer of his bones remained, the two lama and a man in a military uniform respectfully nodded their heads and continued to lay down their magic formations.
”Boss, why did the adults bring a child here?”
”I'm not sure yet, but they will definitely harm the child!”
”Hmm, damn it, not even children will be spared!” The little qilin furiously snorted a few times, then sped up its pace and ran to the front.
The afterglow of the setting sun had completely dissipated. At this moment, the sky had already darkened, and beams of light suddenly shot out from a mountain range. Although it only lasted for a short while, those who were unaware would definitely think that a treasure had appeared.
