Chapter 249: Encountering the Saudis
Chapter 249: Encountering the Saudis
Xiao Qisheng had no bridle and could not stay where he was, so they had to let him follow behind them. Fortunately, he was very sensible, and when he saw his master walking lightly, he imitated him and put his four hooves lightly, and stopped jumping around.
As the two approached the camp, they were afraid of being discovered by the enemy, so they walked even more cautiously, all the way to the foot of the wooden wall. Chu Xiaomu looked into the camp through the gap in the wooden wall, and could only see the vague shadow of the tent in the moonlight, and other objects were not very clear. The two were afraid that there was an enemy ambushing in the tent, so they stayed at the foot of the wooden wall for a long time, listening carefully to the movement in the camp, but apart from the rustling sound of the tent in the wind, they did not hear any other sounds.
Chu Xiaomu waved to Yingdan and walked forward along the foot of the wall. After walking about 70 to 80 feet, he saw a place where wooden stakes nailed to the ground were broken, and more than ten pieces of wood thicker than thighs were scattered everywhere. I don't know what smashed a gap about half a foot wide, and he slipped into the camp through the gap.
This gap was right in front of the Nanding Army's horse stable. As soon as the two of them passed through, a very strong fishy smell rushed into their noses, almost making them nauseous. But they didn't dare to make any sound, so they had to try their best to hold it in and quietly walked towards the camp.
The two walked for sixty to seventy feet and came to a path in the camp. Suddenly, a gust of north wind blew, and in the wind, there was a voice saying something like "Spirit King... Ding..." The two were startled and hurriedly found a tent to hide behind. Xiao Qisheng also followed and hid. In fact, he was completely black and no one could see him in the dark, so there was no need to hide.
Chu Xiaomu listened carefully but could not hear any sound. Occasionally, when the wind blew hard, he could barely hear a few vague words, but he had no idea what someone was saying.
Chu Xiaomu said in a very thin voice: "They seem to have mentioned the general. Let's go closer and listen."
Yingdan said, "These people may have plans that are detrimental to the general. We should listen carefully and return to Bicheng to report to the general as soon as possible."
The two men followed the sound quietly, and the sound became clearer and clearer. After walking about 14 or 15 feet, they found someone talking in a tent. The two men were afraid of being discovered, so they didn't dare to get too close. They lay outside a nearby tent and listened carefully.
Only one person was heard saying, "This time, Bicheng was caught off guard. The resentment from more than two hundred years ago was finally vented." The voice was hoarse and the accent was strange. He was not from Cangmu Country. It seemed that it was quite different from Lingweidou's Snow Country accent and Haiwuqing's Water Country accent.
Yingdan whispered, "From the accent, they seem to be from Saudi Arabia."
Chu Xiaomu nodded and gestured for him to stop talking.
Another person said, "Yes, but we still can't be careless. We haven't seen Bi Ye take action yet. I always feel that the leader Li Ji Luke is a bit too aggressive this time..."
The first person said, "It is not up to us to decide whether to take risks or not. Everything is arranged by the Spirit King, and we just need to follow his orders."
"That's right, the Spirit King can't be wrong."
"What is the name of the central army of their camp? Do you remember?"
"It seems his last name is Zhou something... Oh, Zhou Bo. Why are you asking this?"
"This guy is really powerful. Our Claw Clan surrounded the camp, but he was able to rush out and killed thirty or forty of our assassins."
"Yes, I heard that it was the two brothers Li Ji Ci Lu Ke who attacked him and injured him."
Chu Xiaomu and Yingdan were delighted when they heard that Zhou Bo had escaped from the encirclement of the Claw Tribe, but they were also nervous when they heard that he was injured. Chu Xiaomu also thought that since Zhou Bo had escaped from the encirclement, his daughter Zhou Jinglan should have escaped as well, otherwise, given Zhou Bo's attitude towards his daughter, he would definitely not leave without her.
"Many people in Cangmu Country practice a magical skill called 'The Force'. I heard that once you have the Force, you will become extremely powerful." One person continued.
"I've heard about this, too. I also heard that not everyone can cultivate the 'Force'. Most of Zhou Bo's pawns don't know how to do it. It's unlike our Chisha Nation's 'Weapon Cultivation Technique', which everyone can cultivate."
"Speaking of the art of cultivating equipment, what stage have you reached?"
"Hehe, it has reached the second stage. If I raise a few hundred more insects, I will reach the third stage."
"So fast, what kind of bug did you use?"
"This... this cannot be said."
"Why can't I tell you? The Spirit King has a law that no one can keep the weapon cultivation technique privately, otherwise they will be punished by having their claws chopped off."
"The Spirit King's words mean that after the cultivation technique is fully developed, it cannot be kept privately, not when it has not yet been cultivated. My third stage is still a long way from being fully developed."
The two Saudis immediately started arguing, talking about things like the art of raising instruments and the words of the Spirit King, and no longer mentioned the news about the Green City. Chu Xiaomu and the other man found it boring, so they found a nearby tent and quietly hid in it. It was cold at night, so they simply pulled a blanket over themselves and planned to keep an eye on the movements of the two Saudis tonight to see what they were up to.
Chu Xiaomu picked up another blanket and covered Xiao Qisheng with it, but Xiao Qisheng shook it off immediately. Chu Xiaomu covered it again, and Xiao Qisheng shook again. Only then did he realize that this little guy was not afraid of the cold at all. Chu Xiaomu stroked its back and said, "Little guy, you are really something. Who is your mother to give birth to such a strange person like you?"
Xiao Qisheng raised his neck slightly, pretending to respond, Chu Xiaomu quickly reached out and covered its mouth. Both he and Yingdan were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.
One of the Sha people yawned and said, "Go to sleep quickly. We have to go back to our tribe tomorrow. The King of Ling is waiting for our good news."
Another said: "Everything about Cangmu Country is good, but it's too cold. It's impossible to travel at night."
"The Spirit King is really something. He has to walk to deliver the secret letter. We have quite a few spirits in our tribe. Wouldn't it be faster to let them go through the spirit realm to deliver the message?"
"You don't understand this. The spiritual realm is much more dangerous than the real world. Think about it, we have spirits, but their Cangmu country doesn't have spirits? It is said that Bi Ye is a very powerful spirit... In addition, our Hui people have to pass through the Beast Mountain, and the beast spirits of the Beast Mountain are also famous in our Chisha country."
"I have thought about the Beast Mountain part, but I didn't know that the Lord of Bi City, Bi Ye, is a spirit."
"There's a lot more you don't know. In fact, there's a more important reason..."
"What's the reason? Why do you always only speak half of what you say?"
"Another reason is that there are many ancient evil spirits in the Cangmu Country. They are extremely powerful and often wander in the spiritual realm. If we encounter them, even our Spirit King Flame Claw may not be able to defeat them."
