Chapter 334
Feng Yuanfa let Liu Liu Xiaolou track in the southeast direction, which would eventually lead to a rendezvous with the main force of the Qingyuan Sect.
If one were to judge with a small mind, it shows that Feng Yuanfa was still guarding against him, worried that if he tracked in another direction, it would eventually become uncontrollable.
But if Liu Liu Xiaolou really wanted to leave, Feng Yuanfa had no good way to stop him. It was just that Liu Liu Xiaolou needed to consider the consequences—the price of being captured by the Qingyuan Sect is usually very high.
However, Liu Liu Xiaolou obviously had no interest in continuing to participate in the war between the two sects, and he had no family, disciples, or property pledged to the Qingyuan Sect, nor had he taken any poison pills from the Qingyuan Sect. He had stayed before only because he hadn't figured out what the big goose wanted to do. Since the big goose had left, he naturally shook his tail and left too.
Going down the mountain from the southeast direction, after going halfway down, Liu Liu Xiaolou couldn't wait to change direction. He didn't even want to do the superficial work of going to the bottom of the mountain.
After a few days of contact, he had completely determined the strength comparison between himself and Feng Yuanfa. Feng Yuanfa had reached Foundation Establishment two years earlier than him. In terms of the vigor of true qi, he exceeded him by quite a bit. Although he was proficient in a pair of judge pens and his control over his life-bound magic treasure was much purer than his own Three Mystical Swords, his other various methods were not as good as his own. If they were to fight to the death, his chances of winning were relatively high.
So it was two words—no fear!
Following the traces he had wiped away earlier, he chased westward and soon stopped in front of a large tree. A clump of yellow and white goose droppings was stuck to a leaf, about to drip.
Don't say that the droppings of poultry are all the same. As long as you look at them consistently for several years, anyone can see the tricks in them: seemingly identical, but the patterns and colors are actually quite different.
After walking for more than ten feet, he found several claw marks on a tree trunk, which looked like they were left by a tiger or leopard.
With a plan in mind, it was much easier to track.
Not only judging from droppings, claw prints, and fur, for a spirit incense master like Liu Liu Xiaolou who has played with incense for many years, the discrimination of scent is the most important means.
Just as he reached the bottom of the mountain, there was a rustle in a bush, and a big goose flapped its wings and flew out, standing in front of Liu Liu Xiaolou and "honking" once.
Immediately after, a gust of wind came from behind his head. Liu Liu Xiaolou looked back and saw a black shadow jump out from the canopy, leap over his head, and land on the tree branch above the big goose's head: "Meow—"
Liu Liu Xiaolou took two steps over, grabbed the big goose's long neck, and hugged it tightly to his chest, feeling that the long neck was particularly warm, smooth, and comforting.
He greeted the tree branch again: "Xiao Hei, come down!"
Xiao Hei jumped down reluctantly, twisted and turned to his side, and was also hugged into Liu Liu Xiaolou's arms. The cat's head desperately drilled out from under Liu Liu Xiaolou's armpit, its two eyeballs full of helplessness.
After stroking the goose neck and cat head for a while, Liu Liu Xiaolou finally raised his head and loosened his arms. The goose and the cat were also able to breathe, each honking and meowing a few times.
Liu Liu Xiaolou smiled and said: "You two guys, you even know how to make a feint to the east while attacking in the west? Leaving people with a back view to the east, but running to the west? But the traces are too obvious, it's still easy to be seen through."
"Honk honk!"
"Meow meow~"
"What are you two playing at? What kind of ghosts are you planning to make these two days? Did you really accidentally enter the Qingyuan Sect? Or what are you after?"
"Honk!"
"Meow!"
Following Liu Liu Xiaolou's question, Da Bai spread one wing, and a pouch fell out from under its armpit. It untied the pouch with its long beak, revealing the things inside.
It was actually a pile of spirit stones!
Counting them, there were thirty-five in total!
Liu Liu Xiaolou was speechless. It was very clear that Feng Jing Qilang plus a Feng family nephew, the two of them together, absolutely could not scrape together thirty-five spirit stones. There was a high possibility that this pile of spirit stones came from other disciples of the Qingyuan Sect.
"Do you know how dangerous it is? Just for a few spirit stones? Huh?" Liu Liu Xiaolou was suddenly a bit angry at their lack of ambition, and also felt lingering fear for these two guys. But in the end, he didn't say anything more, sighed, and silently put the pouch away.
"This kind of thing, don't do it again in the future! You say you two guys, how did you run so far? It's been more than two thousand miles from Wulong Mountain, right? What were you thinking? Alright, this is not a place to stay for long, let's go back to Wulong Mountain!"
Feng Yuanfa's requirement was to track for three hours, which meant their absolute safe time for fleeing north was more than six hours. Thus, one person, one goose, and one cat sneaked through the mountains. Da Bai and Xiao Hei were spirit beasts to begin with and were particularly sensitive to aura, and Liu Liu Xiaolou had already reached Foundation Establishment, his spiritual sense able to cover a radius of ten feet. Traveling together, they were naturally absolutely complementary, and they escaped more than a hundred miles in one breath without a sound!
Looking at the sky, it should be the time for Feng Yuanfa to be suspicious. I wonder how many hours it will take him to finally confirm that he has escaped? Or, is his final judgment that he has had an accident?
By the time night fell, they had already escaped more than one hundred and fifty miles. Even if Feng Yuanfa woke up, it was already too late.
A bright moon hung in the sky, and Liu Liu Xiaolou took Da Bai and Xiao Hei out of the dense forest and onto the mountain ridge.
"Da Bai, be honest, if you face Feng Jing Qilang head-on, can you handle him? Is he at Qi Refinement Stage 7 or 8?"
"Honk!"
"So confident? What about Xiao Hei?"
"Meow~"
"Honk honk!"
"Is Xiao Hei really capable? Who should I believe?"
"Meow meow~"
"Honk!"
"Alright, we'll know when we try it out next time."
"Meow!"
"Honk!"
"Speaking of which, I have failed you two guys. I left for six years, no, seven years, right? How did you survive? Sigh."
"Meow meow meow~"
"Honk honk honk!"
"Alright, alright, I already said it was my fault, don't be angry, I didn't do it on purpose. Do you know how miserable I was in the Ten Thousand Mountains? I almost lost my life, being hung on an iron hook, almost becoming soup ingredients!"
"Hey? I'm fine, haha, don't mess around, I'm really fine."
"But it's a blessing in disguise, we won't have to worry about spirit stones in the future."
"Honk?"
"Meow?"
"Hey? You guys can even ask questions now? Not bad, not bad, Da Bai, Xiao Hei, keep working hard! Want to know why we don't have to worry about spirit stones? You'll know when we get home this time, hehe, I'll give you two a fright."
"Don't go stealing spirit stones again in the future, do you know how dangerous it is? By the way, after we get home, we don't have to hide anymore. I've figured it out, if I have to bow my head, I have to bow my head. Don't worry, I'll bow my head, you two don't need to bow your heads, and even if you two bow your heads, no one will understand anyway."
"Hmm? North? What do you two mean? Da Bai, Xiao Hei, come back! Where are you going? This way is north."
"Where is this place?"
After traveling for a night, the sky was gradually brightening. Liu Liu Xiaolou raised his eyes, and before him was a lush mountain range, with a sense of vitality rushing toward him.
Looking deeper into the mountains, white clouds flowed between them like jade belts, and the birds flying between the clouds and mist were several times more numerous than elsewhere.
Da Bai and Xiao Hei led the way, taking Liu Liu Xiaolou through the cliffs and precipices, and soon entered a cave from a crack in the rock.
Looking at the thick silk bedding spread on a stone platform in the cave, Liu Liu Xiaolou finally understood: "This is the nest you two built?"
Da Bai walked over and used its long beak to lift the bedding. A pile of pouches was immediately revealed under the bedding.
