Chapter 880 Someone who shouldn’t be there
The level of a red-eyed purple-skinned rat is very high, at least twenty levels higher than Ji Xiaoyan’s current level. In other words, such a An ordinary mouse is around level 70, which is considered one of the relatively powerful monsters Ji Xiaoyan encountered. However, although this red-eyed purple-skinned rat is of a high level, it is not as intelligent as the high-level monsters Ji Xiaoyan has seen before, nor is it as willing to cause trouble as those monsters.
So, after Ji Xiaoyan and a group of people from Qingshimen followed the red-eyed purple-skinned rat for a long distance, at most they saw the rat stop vigilantly and look left and right. He had no intention of attacking them at all.
“We have been walking for so long, we should be almost at the rat’s nest, right?” Halfway through, a disciple of the Qingshi Sect said something panicked, and then asked in a low voice towards the elder Qingyi in front of him. He said: "Elder, what should we do if we arrive at a rat's nest? If we are beaten, wouldn't we automatically be sent to our door to die?"
"No!" Elder Qingyi said. The black robe that he had been wearing since he was poisoned was moved. , after taking a deep breath of fresh air, he comforted the disciple of the Bluestone Sect: "We have followed that mouse all the way, and we have never seen it actively attack us. I think these mice are... I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. We just need to walk a short distance, find a place with a lot of rat smell, and then find a side road to go in..." After all, the strength of several of their elders is relatively high, and the others Not a disciple of ! No matter what, they can't possibly put all their disciples here to die! !
After receiving the affirmative reply from Elder Qing Yi, the Qingshi Sect disciple instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he turned around with a smile and passed the message to the team behind him. However, when the message reached the last Qingshi Sect disciple, An accident happened again.
"Who are you?!" The Qingshi Sect disciple walking at the end is a relatively powerful NPC, and he is also considered to be the top one among the NPC disciples of the Qingshi Sect. He is walking at the end. , the main purpose is to lead the team. Originally, the matter of spreading the word would have been over as soon as he came to him, but this person sometimes has a bit of inertia. For example, in the past, this NPC disciple was followed by a group of disciples, so this also caused him to always look back when he spoke...
So, after Elder Qingyi’s words came from the front, this Qingshi Sect The senior disciple immediately turned his head back to say something, but after turning his head, he suddenly realized that there should be no one behind him. However, this NPC disciple suddenly discovered that there was a figure behind him, about the same height as him! ! So, the NPC disciple immediately shouted, then immediately pulled out the weapon in his hand and looked at the figure warily.
"What's wrong? What's going on?" Such a sharp shout suddenly came from the originally quiet secret passage. Old man Qingya and the others were obviously startled, and they immediately rushed towards the back of the team. When Ji Xiaoyan rushed to the end of the team, all the disciples of the Bluestone Sect surrounded the figure who should not have appeared. Ji Xiaoyan squeezed in for a long time, and finally squeezed in through the cracks in the crowd, and saw clearly the figure who appeared out of thin air. Who is the character?
That was a man who was barely well-dressed. Of course, "well" only refers to the tatters of his clothes. Looking at the face and movements of the man in front of him, Ji Xiaoyan seriously doubted that he was just a child. , still a child of the Juli tribe.
"This...are you a child of the Juli tribe?" Head Qingmiao revealed the identity of the figure in front of him in just one sentence.
"Tsk..." The child had an innocent look on his face and looked at the leader of Qingmiao who was speaking. He did not respond. He just continued to cast his gaze on the Qingshi Sect disciple who had been standing at the end of the team. Smiling goofily at him.
"Master..." Many disciples of the Qingshi Sect saw the child's honest look and immediately turned their attention to the master Qingmiao, "Should we arrest him?"
"Uncle, when did this kid follow us?" Ji Xiaoyan gently pulled the old man Qingmi in a low voice, looked at him and asked He said, "Are we going to kill him, or take him as a hostage?"
"It depends on the head brother!" Old Man Qingya replied lightly, and then walked directly to the team The last NPC disciple next to him asked him: "Do you know when he followed you?"
"Uncle, the disciple doesn't know!" When the NPC disciple heard what Old Man Qingmi said, he immediately shook his head and said with a pale face: "It's all because of the disciple's poor academic skills. Such a big kid has been following me all this time without knowing... ….”
"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Old Man Qingya frowned, and then sighed: "It's all our fault that we are not vigilant enough... But fortunately we have discovered it now!!" "Uncle Master, we are going to do it now What should I do? I look at this child and he doesn’t seem to have any What kind of malice..." The NPC disciple glanced at the Juli child who had been looking at him and smiled, and said somewhat unbearably: "Uncle Master, we don't need to do that to him..." If that child is here He was caught in a sneak attack from behind, kill him As a child, he didn't feel any pressure, but if he looked at that child looking at him with innocent eyes, he would have to watch his fellow disciples, brothers, and even his uncles and elders kill such a child. , he really can't do it.
When the old man Qingmi heard this, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at the leader of Qingmiao, and then said: "Just follow the leader's arrangements!"
Hearing this, the head of Qingmiao sighed, and then faced everyone Said: "He is just a child. Now we have not found any malicious intentions in him. Anyway, if we look back, he may be able to be a hostage and buy us some time... Let's go, take him with us, and we will continue to walk inside. ! Gift......"
"Disciple is here!" When the NPC disciple who had been walking at the end heard Master Qingmiao calling him, he immediately responded. Then he heard Master Qingmiao continue to say: "Looking at the look in this child's eyes, he seems to be very similar to you. If you are destined, take him with you, walk in the middle, and take a look..."
"Yes, leader!" The NPC disciple named Li Xiang stood up. He responded immediately, and then tentatively called to the child of the Juli tribe: "Come here, will you come with me!"
"Ah!! Ah!!" That Juli tribe The children of the tribe seemed to be very happy when they heard Li Xiang's words. They immediately ran towards him, then stood behind him, looking very happy, and clapped their hands.
Li Xiang originally thought of letting the child walk in front of him so that he could take care of him more easily, but who knows, no matter how he moved, any child from the Juli tribe would turn behind him and follow him. So, after Old Man Qingya and the others watched for a long time, they directly ordered Li Xiang to follow the child of the Juli tribe and let him follow behind him. After all, there are so many NPC disciples behind us, right?
"Li Xiang, ask that kid more on the way, when did he follow you and where did he come from..." Head Qingmiao still whispered when he turned around to continue leading the way. After giving a few instructions to the ceremony, and seeing him nodding, he turned around and greeted the team to continue moving forward.
However, until Ji Xiaoyan and the others found a branch of the road near a group of red-eyed purple-skinned rats, Li Xiang could not ask anything from the Juli tribe child.
According to Li Xiang, it seems that the child of the Juli tribe cannot speak and can only understand some simple questions he said. When asking him any questions, other than humming, he could only make gestures with his hands.
“This intelligence is just like that of a child of a few years old!!” Ji Xiaoyan frowned after hearing the report from the old man Qingmi, “Didn’t those people from the Juli tribe say Have they been locked up here for a long time? If the child has been following them, how could he not speak? Moreover, are they not afraid of encountering any danger if they are guarding the secret passage? "
"Well, that's true. Reasonable!" Old man Qingya nodded. , and then explained to Ji Xiaoyan: "The head brother also said the same, so we think it is very likely that this child accidentally ran into the secret passage. First of all, judging from his age, he is so young. Children, if you come to the secret passage, you must not It can be done without the care of adults, unless you get lost with the adults, but in this secret passage, this kind of thing is basically impossible..." If you really get lost with the adults, the Juli tribe in the secret passage will Aren't the grown men anxious to help find someone? If the child of the Juli tribe in front of him encounters a monster, he will definitely not survive.
After squatting for two seconds, the old man Qingya continued: "Furthermore, judging from the clothes on this child, he has only been here not long ago. Look at his clothes, basically There are not many stains on it, it is a bit cleaner than ours, so we now suspect that the child must have fallen from an unknown place..."
"In other words, besides the fixed exit, are there other places where we can enter Qingcheng?" Ji Xiaoyan said immediately with a quick reaction. The NPCs of the Juli clan had said that the real exit of the secret passage was sealed by City Lord Qingwan. No one can get out or come in from the secret passage until the exit is unsealed! Of course, except for those openings where the Juli NPCs said they could throw food. Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but look at the old man Qingmi and asked: "Uncle Master, do you think it is possible that this child of the Juli tribe fell from the so-called opening where food can be thrown? ”
