Chapter 173 The bitter He Bo
Along with the messy footsteps were noisy discussions.
But when they came to the entrance of the pipeline, everyone was silent.
Is the problem that has been a headache for a long time but has made no progress solved like this?
What happened?
"What's going on?"
"It was blocked inexplicably, and it was opened inexplicably?"
The others took it seriously and looked confused.
However, the problem was finally solved.
As for how to solve it, since I can’t figure it out now, let’s put it aside for now.
Anyway, they were in a fog about the whole thing, and they never understood the situation.
……
"Xiaoxiao?"
"The water is clearing." Xiao Xiao said to Yu Yanyan and Uncle Gu who came forward. His face was full of confusion and innocence, as if he didn't understand why the water was clearing suddenly.
"Really?! That's great." Yu Yanyan smiled happily.
"Haha, you are such a lucky star. The water will flow as soon as you come in."
Uncle Gu patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder, his brows relaxed, and the gloom disappeared.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Xiao Xiao's heartbeat accelerated for a moment.
Uncle Gu and the others still carefully inspected the pipeline and found that there was no problem like the previous inspections.
Even though they were helpless, there was nothing they could do about it.
Anyway, the problem is solved.
"However, it's exactly like what you just said. It's like there was a sudden problem with this pipeline, and then it suddenly got better."
"It's really confusing."
Uncle Gu was quite emotional.
……
The pipeline problem was finally solved, and Uncle Gu and the others could go home safely.
Originally, Uncle Gu wanted to invite Xiao Xiao to his home, but Xiao Xiao declined and said he would pay a formal visit next time.
This time it was too hasty and nothing was prepared.
Uncle Gu did not force it, and he was not in a hurry to be a guest. Anyway, Xiao Xiao was welcome to visit their home at any time.
……
After saying goodbye to Uncle Gu and Sister Yanyan, Xiao Xiao watched their figures disappear before turning around and leaving.
He didn't go home.
The Gu eagle has been flying above Xiao Xiao's head, and the huge shadow follows him like a shadow.
The monster caught in the claws of the Gu Eagle drooped its head, and its twisted hair like seaweed was blown by the strong wind, and became like a mess of grass, very post-modernist style.
The monster looked sluggish and resigned.
It no longer struggled or screamed. Instead, it stared curiously at Xiao Xiao below through its hair that was dancing in the wind.
When it was first caught by this big monster, it felt as if a large basin of cold water was pouring down on it, which made it feel chilly to the core.
Even though it struggled desperately, how could it, which was already weak, be able to shake the reinforced iron claw?
After some futile efforts, it finally gave up helplessly.
However, when it finally calmed down, it discovered that the big monster didn't seem to have any intention of eating it?
Just holding it like this, as if following the human below?
Turning around and looking around, it discovered such an incredible situation.
What's going on?
Why does this big demon follow this human being?
Is it to catch the two monsters on this human's shoulders and head?
There are so many monsters around a human? !
This human... It was only at this moment that it began to seriously look at the human below. When it stared, it was surprised to find that it could not sense this human's heart? !
Is it because it is too weak now?
The meager amount of demon power left is not enough to support it in sensing human hearts?
It doesn't understand, but can only make such a guess.
But, strangely enough, this human being is very strange.
The aura of this human being was different from that of all other humans it had encountered.
It seems purer and smells better.
It reminded it of the early morning on the river where it once lived. The cold air blended into the cool water vapor. The cool water vapor filled the cold air. The transparent smell exuded a hint of mint-like coolness and aroma. It has a sweet taste that seems to be nothing. It always breathes this kind of air, watching the golden light gradually emerge on the river, sparkling, looking up, it is a huge red sun that comes into view, and everything is covered with a layer of smoke. With the soft light of the mist, a new day has begun.
But it would never see another morning like this again.
Its home is gone.
……
Xiao Xiao came to a secluded corner.
"Gu carving."
"Jiejie~"
Gu Diao understood the situation, slowly landed, and loosened his claws tightly grasping a certain monster.
A certain monster seemed completely unaware of this, completely unaware that it had escaped from its "devil's claws".
At this time, it is free.
Although the Gu Eagle is watching eagerly from the side.
……
The unknown monster lay motionless on the ground.
Seaweed-like green is scattered on the ground.
There didn't seem to be any movement in the small body.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and stepped forward slowly.
"Who are you?"
A clear voice sounded in this quiet corner.
A certain monster lying motionless on the ground seemed to move.
Is this human talking to it?
But aren’t humans unable to see it?
Although it still didn't raise its head, it couldn't help but pricked up its ears and listened carefully to every move of this human being.
I once again tried desperately to sense this human being's heart, but still failed.
……
"Why did you block the pipe opening?"
Hearing this question, a certain monster became extremely angry. It jumped up and said, "嚯寯~嚯寯~"
A certain monster had an excited expression, a shrill voice, and even danced with its hands and feet.
Xiao Xiao looked at a certain monster that stood up and only reached his waist, jumping like a beetle in front of his eyes, and felt inexplicably want to laugh.
However, "Ahem~" This is too rude.
The monster in front of him seemed to be dissatisfied with the question he just asked, but it was obviously a normal question.
Wasn't it blocked at the pipe mouth just now?
……
With a certain monster's large movements, its hair spread out, revealing the true face of Lushan behind it.
This is... He Bo? !
He Bo is only about the height of a four-year-old child, and his skin is a mossy green with large and small folds.
She has green hair that is as messy and twisted as seaweed, and is a little darker than her skin.
There is also a turtle-like carapace on its back, green and black.
There are also wrinkles on his face, giving him an old look.
His eyes were wide with anger, and the beard on his chin was sticking up.
……
Xiao Xiao was just about to tell the frothing monster in front of him that he didn't understand the monster's words, but his ears, no, maybe his heart, suddenly caught the meaning of the other person's words.
"...it's not what the old man wanted, that strange pipe sucked him in!"
"The old man wanted to break free, but because his demonic power was too much depleted, he was unable to resist."
"Fortunately, the old man was smart and turned his body sideways, so he was not sucked in."
"But if you don't go in, you can't get out. I tried to get out of that state countless times, but because I was too weak, I never succeeded."
"What's even more exaggerated is that the suction force in that tube always becomes very strong!"
"Being old is simply miserable."
