Chapter 53 The truth gradually emerges
"Big fish."
Huo Manshu answered perfunctorily, then stood on tiptoe and looked into the well. The water in the well kept rolling, and it looked like something big was about to come out.
Huo Manshu retreated behind Qu Lian without hesitation, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Be careful."
Before Qu Lian understood what Huo Manshu told him to be careful about, the rope in his hand suddenly loosened, and a huge figure jumped out of the well, passing over everyone's heads, blocking the sky and the sun.
Although Huo Manshu was mentally prepared, she could only barely see the strong limbs.
"Boom!"
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard, raising a cloud of dust.
"Bah, bah, what?"
Qu sighed twice, frowned and fanned in front of his face with his hand.
"Shh, don't talk."
With a calm expression, Huo Manshu reached out and covered Qu Lian's mouth: "This is a scavenging toad."
"Get out of here first, don't make eye contact with it."
Although Huo Manshu had already made a guess, she was still shocked when she saw such a big scavenging toad.
It is estimated that its combat power is more than a star and a half stronger than Xiaoshi.
"Ah!!"
Just as Huo Manshu was pushing Qu Lian and preparing to leave quietly, Song Yan suddenly screamed.
Huo Manshu pricked up her ears and listened to the sound, remembering that Song Yan was next to the well at that time.
"Don't come over! Don't come over!"
Song Yan didn't know what he saw, and screamed as if he was scared out of his wits.
Homanshu faintly heard the sound of armor and stone colliding with each other.
Although Huo Manshu had doubts in her heart, she had no intention of looking back, but Qu Lian didn't care so much. When she heard the strange sound, she couldn't help but look back and asked, "What is that?"
Before Huo Manshu could stop her, she heard the song again and again: "What should I do, Manshu, I feel like I'm eye-to-eye with that big toad."
"Eh, that's disgusting."
Because Huo Manshu asked him to catch toads early in the morning, he now disliked this thing very much and had goosebumps.
Huo Manshu frowned. She strictly felt that Qulian was here to hold him back.
The genius girl Huo Manshu was a little depressed: "Didn't I tell you? Don't look at it. Why don't you like to be obedient besides eating? What are you most afraid of?"
The scavenging toad that appeared in front of them was terrifyingly big. If it had abnormal abilities, they would probably leave it here.
Huo Manshu felt that she seemed to have made a mistake.
She overestimated Qu Lian.
"I don't seem to have anything to fear."
Qu Lian made Huo Manshu unhappy, and she became more careful with her words.
Although Qu Lian said so, Huo Manshu felt that Qu Lian was lying when she heard the constant clicking sounds behind her.
With the idea of grabbing Qu Lian's little handle in her hand, Huo Manshu also turned around and took a look. She had thought that the scene behind her would be a little weird, but Ho Manshu didn't expect that the painting style would be so strange.
A group of people in armor who looked like terracotta warriors and horses were chasing Song Yan with knives like headless flies. Wang Sheng's home had long since disappeared, replaced by gloomy buildings that were gradually built one after another.
"Huangcheng Orphanage"
A signboard in that building was particularly conspicuous. Huo Manshu didn't notice anything at first, but after reading it out, she probably understood it. She glanced at Qu Lian. This was something Qu Lian was afraid of.
She remembered that Lao Tan's wife said that Qu Lian was their adopted child. "It's really annoying. Who said I'm afraid of this shabby orphanage?"
Qu Lian noticed the sign the moment it appeared, and his mood suddenly plummeted. He clicked his tongue twice impatiently: "I don't want to take a second look at this kind of thing in front of me."
Huo Manshu hit the nail on the head: "You don't mean what you mean."
If it is really something that can be treated in a normal way, it will only be faced calmly.
"I won't be like you." Huo Manshu felt that although she was not as strong as Qu Lian, she would definitely be better than him in this aspect: "I have nothing to be afraid of."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hill-like scavenging toad suddenly turned its head and glanced at Homanshu.
Huo Manshu was unprepared and caught the eye of the scavenging toad.
She felt like she was being watched.
Sure enough, this large scavenger toad was more powerful than her snack, but it didn't matter, she had nothing to be afraid of.
This thought flashed across Huo Manshu's mind when she saw a small two-story foreign-style building built next to the gloomy building of Huangcheng Orphanage.
Qu Lian was a little negative at first, but after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Manshu, you are also afraid of buildings."
"I'm not afraid."
Huo Manshu was a little unhappy. The moment she saw the building, she knew what the scavenging toad had manifested for her.
Sure enough, this scavenger toad is more powerful than her snack, and she can dig out such things deep in her memory.
But it’s also more annoying.
Huo Manshu felt that it was not something she was afraid of, but something that made her feel a little embarrassed. It was a fact that she wanted to throw away.
Qu Lian also saw that Huo Manshu obviously didn't want to tell. Everyone has secrets, so just don't tell them.
Their two buildings continued to grow taller, twisting like humans.
Xiaoshu Village disappeared without knowing when, and only the two weird buildings became more and more twisted.
"Manshu, do you want to kill that toad?"
Qu Lian glanced at the increasingly dark surroundings and asked Homanshu for her opinion.
After all, he still hasn't figured out what's going on.
He didn't even know why there was such a big toad in Wang Sheng's well.
"I'm going to kill it."
With cold eyes, Huo Manshu glanced at the small western-style building on the second floor. She said to Qu: "If you don't kill it now, a lot of troublesome things will come out of the small western-style building soon."
Huo Manshu deliberately emphasized her tone, fearing that Qulian would misunderstand her, so she added: "I'm not afraid, I just find it troublesome."
Qu Lian laughed teasingly, but without asking any further questions, he took out the flaming sword said to be the Demon King's and prepared to step forward to kill the scavenging toad.
However, a strange phenomenon occurred at the scene, which made Qu Lian pause for a moment.
Bai Keke appeared next to Song Yan at some point, and while he was hastily avoiding the armored terracotta warriors, he cut his throat with a dagger.
Bai Keke's face showed no expression at all. She licked the tip of the knife and stared at Huo Manshu with a fierce look in her eyes: "When did you find out?"
Bai Keke reached out and patted the scavenging toad, and it began to move under her instructions.
Its long tongue stretched out and flicked towards Homan Shu.
Huo Manshu reacted slowly and couldn't avoid it, but she didn't panic at all, she just shouted quietly.
Qu Lian reacted quickly, hugged Ho Man Shu, and flew past the scavenging toad's tongue.
