The two of them kept going all the way and did not rest at night, bypassing Dongting Lake, Tianmu Mountain, Wuling Mountain, and reaching Wulong Mountain. By the time I got to Foot of the Mountain, I had consumed too much real energy and was already very sleepy.
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon looked at the stretching Wulong Mountain and said, "Are you still going up the mountain? Do you want to take a moment?"
Liu Xiaolou shook his head. "The sooner the better, there is no time to waste."
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon clenched his fists. "Okay, we'll get to Zhuoshui Battlefield in one go!"
On the evening of the third day after setting off from Shenwu Mountain, a large river appeared in front of him, crossing the north and south, blocking the way. Tiger-Head Flood Dragon asked feebly, "Is this a water bath? It's very quiet..."
Liu Xiaolou has been here before and knows the terrain well. He pointed to the north. "The battlefield is fifty miles away to the north. Our place is the Nanwakou of Zhuoshui. Rest for half an hour!"
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon breathed a sigh of relief, lay down in the haystack, stretched out and looked at the sunset on the horizon, his eyelids began to beat. In the past few years, his cultivation level has advanced to the seventh level, which is two levels higher than Liu Xiaolou's cultivation level. However, he is a physical practitioner and has relatively little practice on Divine Sense. There is no problem with his body. However, the feeling of sleepiness on Divine Sense is difficult to resist, so he cannot hold on anymore and falls asleep at first.
I had just slept for a while when I was slapped awake by Liu Xiaolou. When I opened my sleepy eyes, I saw a wooden fork with a plucked pheasant stuck in it.
He rubbed his eyes and got up. "I'm going to light a fire."
Liu Xiaolou stopped him. "What kind of fire are you lighting? Although it is far away from the battlefield, it is still within the fighting range of the two sides. We must guard against inspections by monks Gengsang Cave and Zhanglong Sect."
As he spoke, he bit into the wing of his pheasant, then chewed the chicken wing in his mouth.
Seeing him eating raw chicken, Tiger-Head Flood Dragon's throat murmured a few times. Even though he looked tall and thick, it was because of his physical training. Jiao Family is Longhu Cai Family's in-law. He grew up in fine clothing and had never eaten raw meat.
But Liu Xiaolou ate like this. He was embarrassed to show that he was too delicate, so he immediately calmed down, looked at the white pheasant with red blood in his hand, and bit it as soon as he closed his eyes. When chewing, I felt the fishy smell was too strong, so I quickly swallowed it in several mouthfuls. But after chewing too much, I felt that there was a sweetness in the fishy smell, so it was not inedible.
The night had completely darkened. Liu Xiaolou and Tiger-Head Flood Dragon, who had eaten enough, were crawling by the river, staring back and forth at the river in front of them.
The autumn wind blew by, bringing with it waves of chill.
"Brother Hutou Did you see anything?"
"No. Are you sure Badong cultivator will come here to inspect? Why not Xiangxi cultivator?"
"I'm not sure... go..."
The two stood up, used the Water-Walking Technique technique, and rushed towards the other side of the river. Two strings of snow-white water splashed on the water behind them.
The twenty-foot-wide river surface was crossed in a matter of seconds. Not long after they landed on the shore, the two of them immediately crouched in the Reed Swamp and did not dare to get up.
A sword light flew slowly upstream along the Zhuo River. The sword light stirred up a mist of water on the river, splashing on the necks of the two people, making it cold and cold.
Neither of them dared to raise their heads and pressed their heads hard, wishing they could press themselves into the mud.
Those who wield swords must at least have golden elixirs!
The light continued downstream along the river and gradually moved away. Only then did Liu Xiaolou raise his head and let out a sigh of relief.
"Gengsang Cave's?" Tiger-Head Flood Dragon stared at the sword light that had flown three or four miles away, curious.
"Who knows?" Liu Xiaolou was not sure either.
It was so dangerous just now. If it were a little later, even if it was on the shore, as long as it was closer to the river, it would be possible to be discovered by the owner of this sword light. No matter who discovers them, it will not be a good thing for rescuing Thirteenth Young Master.
Not daring to stay long, the two immediately got up and ran away from Zhuoshui, continuing to move westward. After running until dawn, Tiger-Head Flood Dragon was a little confused. "Brother, don't we go north? Where is Gengsang Cave keeping the people?"
Liu Xiaolou said, "I don't know where they keep people, so we have to find someone."
After traveling another two hundred miles to the west, a market appeared ahead. Liu Xiaolou asked Tiger-Head Flood Dragon to wait outside the market while he went in to inquire about the news. After a while, he came out and took Tiger-Head Flood Dragon to the northwest for more than a hundred miles. Then he inquired again and moved forward again. Finally, he came to a place called Liu Family Village.
In the southeast corner of the village, there is a village. At a glance, you can tell that it is the home of the richest man in the village. When he arrived here, Liu Xiaolou said to Tiger-Head Flood Dragon, "Brother Hutou, whether you are at home or not depends on this."
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon asked, "Is this the Formation Master's home you mentioned? A humble family..."
Although he is a wealthy family in the countryside, in Tiger-Head Flood Dragon's eyes, he is indeed a poor family.
A servant from the village came to answer the door. After hearing their purpose, he invited the two people in. "Young Master, please wait a moment. The younger one will go and report to the master."
Liu Xiaolou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his tense face, "He is here!"
Tiger-Head Flood Dragon slumped into the chair and snored into a deep sleep without even taking a sip of the tea brought by the servant. After traveling for eighteen hundred miles, staying awake for three days and three nights, all his true energy was exhausted, and he didn't sit still to regulate his breathing. He was really tired.
Liu Xiaolou was also exhausted. After he relaxed, his eyelids began to fight, and he couldn't open them. He was dazed for an unknown period of time, and was suddenly awakened by the tight string deep in his heart. He saw someone sitting on the chair opposite, looking at him with a smile.
He straightened up quickly and cupped his fists. "Brother Daoran!"
This person was Liu Daoran who had just been separated for less than three months. He asked curiously, "How can I be so exhausted? It doesn't matter... I only slept for half an hour... Did you encounter something urgent?"
Liu Xiaolou smiled bitterly and said, "Please Brother Daoran help me!"
He didn't hide anything at the moment and told everything, and said, "This is my brother-in-law. I have to take him back no matter what... I have no choice. I know Brother Daoran here in Bashu, so I would like to ask Brother Daoran for advice."
Liu Daoran stroked his beard and thought, pacing back and forth in the hall, and said for a moment, "Brother, why don't you rest for a few hours? No matter what you do, you won't be able to adjust properly and you won't be able to do anything. I'll also think about it and see if there is any way."
Liu Xiaolou squeezed his hand tightly. "We are all counting on Brother Daoran!"
The servant took Liu Xiaolou and Tiger-Head Flood Dragon to the guest room next to them to have a rest. Liu Xiaolou relaxed and fell asleep, and slept until dawn. Tiger-Head Flood Dragon still didn't wake up, and Liu Xiaolou also didn't sleep enough, but he couldn't sleep anymore despite his thoughts. As soon as Liu Daoran came over, he woke up and eagerly waited for Liu Daoran to reply.
Liu Daoran ordered the servants to serve the food and said to Liu Xiaolou, "I went to Nangu Mountain last night and got some news. A friend was recruited by Gengsang Cave to wash water last month. Maybe I can ask him for information."
