Chapter 373 Now that things have come to this, let’s take another hot spring bath
With Xiao's help, Mozuche finally regained control of his body.
He stood up unsteadily and continued walking towards the top of the mountain, step by step.
"Xiao, you don't have to keep resisting the pressure for me." Mo Zuche said as he walked.
"?"
"I need to adapt to this environment," Mo Zuche explained.
adapt?
Xiao was stunned for a moment, then understood the other party's intention and nodded, "Okay."
The Golden-winged Roc King's aura was greatly restrained, and Mo Zuche suddenly felt his body sink. His hands and feet, which were originally under his control, began to tremble uncontrollably again.
Mo Zuche gritted his teeth, trying hard to maintain his balance, and walked step by step towards the top of the mountain, towards the huge figure that was looming in the clouds and mist, that was the mountain god.
As they moved away from the snow forest behind them and went deep into the tundra for a distance, a pink and tender little animal came into Mozuche's sight. It was completely unaware that someone was approaching and was still crawling and rolling on the meadow, having a lot of fun.
Xiao's voice rang in his ears: "That is the baby dragon hatched from the egg."
Dragon...
And it's a dragon with a snake body...
Mo Zuche nodded, his eyes burning.
Xiao did not tell Mo Zuche that this was Yinglong, and Mo Zuche's experience did not allow him to recognize that this was a baby dragon, but he could still see how rare this baby dragon was.
If the motivation that supported him to move forward under pressure before was his concern for his former teammates, which he placed on this egg, then now it was an adventurer's pursuit of the world's rarest things.
Thinking of this, Mo Zuche turned his gaze to the mountain god for the second time, but the mountain god still did not give him any attention.
He had noticed long ago that the mountain god had already discovered their arrival, but the mountain god's eyes were always focused on Xiao, treating him as air.
If he wants to achieve his goal, Xiao cannot stay here and continue to attract the attention of the mountain god.
But if Xiao was not there, he would have to face the terrifying oppressive power of the mountain god alone.
Can he do it?
Mo Zuche slowly clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Xiao, you go back first."
"What about you?"
Xiao showed a look of understanding. When Mo Zuche suggested adapting to the environment, he guessed that this would happen.
"I'll stay here and talk to the mountain god." Mo Zuche said calmly.
However, Xiao was still a little worried. You know, just a few minutes ago, this person knelt down to the mountain god.
He asked, "Is everything all right?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Mo Zuche patted Xiao's shoulder. "Thank you, I've almost adapted."
Seeing this, Xiao didn't say much. He looked at Mo Zuche and stepped back.
If Mo Zuche overreacts, he will immediately return to the former and block the pressure for the other party.
Fortunately, nothing happened to Mo Zuche until he retreated into the snow forest below.
In fact, even if Mo Zuche didn't mention it, Xiao would find a chance to leave.
He had noticed the inquiring gaze of the mountain god early on, but he had been pretending not to notice and accompanied Mo Zuche forward.
It was because of this that Xiao realized that he was not suitable to stay here.
He had no position to take sides in this matter. If he continued to stay, the situation would become very embarrassing.
On the other side, as Xiao gradually moved away, the part of the pressure that was isolated by Xiao fell on Mo Zuche again. Fortunately, he had adapted to it along the way and would no longer be forced to his knees like when they first met.
Xiao must leave, otherwise, the mountain god will not pay any attention to him, a small ordinary person.
Just as he expected, after Xiao's figure completely disappeared, an extremely oppressive gaze swept towards him.
coming.
Mo Zuche took a deep breath and raised his head.
This time, he finally met the gaze of those eyes that were flowing with flames.
……
Xiao went down the mountain, but not completely. He stopped at the mountain temple on the mountainside.
He was worried about Mo Zuche, but it was not appropriate to go back now, so he thought about it and decided to go to the top of the mountain later to see the situation.
There is some distance between Baihe Mountain and Baihe City. Although he is very fast, it is still a bit troublesome to run back and forth. Therefore, he does not plan to return to the city.
What appeared before Xiao's eyes was a ruin. The temple had collapsed, and broken wood boards and stones were scattered everywhere, extending all the way to the hot spring in the front yard. The scene was a mess.
The corners of Xiao's mouth twitched.
Was this demolished by the beast tide?
Seeing this, Green Xiao said, "It wasn't like this when I left with Lao Li."
"Ah."
There is no point in saying this now. The most urgent task right now is to find a good place in the mountains for Xiao to kill time.
Where else to go?
Xiao's gaze followed the ruins of the mountain temple to the pool of steam rising from it.
Maybe... it's not impossible to stay here.
He was very interested in taking a hot spring bath, but was a little reluctant to do so with a group of grown men.
The hot springs in Shirakawa Castle seem to be in the form of large bathhouses.
Looking at the hot spring in front of me, the water is clear and misty. There is silence and no one around. There is not even a sound of birds singing because of the beast tide just now.
Rather than...
Xiao was moved.
But simply soaking in the hot springs might be boring, and they left in a hurry, so they didn't have time to eat the meal that Mo Zuche ordered.
Thinking of this, Xiao lowered his eyes, and the next moment, pots and pans, various seasonings and a lively fish appeared on the ground in front of him.
Xiao put the things he didn't need into the storage bracelet and started to process the fish.
Chixing was also summoned to chop wood and make fire.
Soon, a fresh fragrance wafted over the ruins of the mountain temple.
After the food is ready, it’s time to take a hot spring bath.
Logically speaking, no one should come here at this time, but to be on the safe side, Xiao still summoned the Wind Weasel and asked it and Red Star to keep watch nearby.
Everything was ready. Xiao untied his headband, and his long dark green hair slid down like a waterfall, covering the outline of his shoulders.
He untied his belt with his fingertips, took off layer after layer of clothes, and also took off the murderous aura. At this moment, he looked more like a taciturn big brother next door.
Xiao folded the clothes and stacked them on the dry bluestone.
Although the mountain god stopped the wind and snow in the mountains in order to take care of the child, the temperature was still cold. The cold mountain air touched the exposed skin, causing tiny shivers on it.
Xiao rubbed his arms and looked at the hot spring. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He walked barefoot across the fine snow, came to a place away from his clothes and the fish pond, turned his back to the pond, and fell backwards on his back.
The warmth completely enveloped him, and the perfect water temperature instantly dispelled the chill and smoothed every inch of muscle that was tense due to the cold.
The ears are covered by the spring water, blocking out all the noise.
Suddenly, a sense of familiarity surged into Xiao's heart. He seemed to have been gently wrapped in water like this, with the noise and danger also isolated by the water.
When did it happen?
With a "splash", Xiao stood up from the water, his wet hair sticking tightly to his face, and water droplets rolled down his hair, from his chest to his back.
He sighed softly, reminiscing as he drifted towards the place he had cleared out to hold the fish soup.
A moment later, Xiao leaned against the smooth wall of the pool, holding a bowl of fish soup in one hand.
Comfortable~
He no longer thought about where the sense of familiarity just now came from, but looked at the scenery underwater through the water surface.
Fortunately, despite having experienced many dangerous things and being ravaged by the red goblin, there are no scars on his body.
Ok……
It’s still that word——
Handsome!
It had been a long time since he had looked at this body like this. Now, he no longer felt much excitement. After just a short while, his attention returned to the fish soup.
He suddenly remembered that not all hot spring water could be used to cook food.
By the way, the fish soup he cooked with hot spring water should be fine, right?
Forget it, never mind. He’s already drunk. Can he really be drunk to death?
Suddenly, Red Xiao's evil laughter sounded in Xiao's mind.
"Why don't you watch it?"
Xiao was stunned.
What not to watch?
What to look at?
It took him a few seconds to realize what Hong Xiao was saying.
No... I know you can read minds, and I'm willing to let you do so, but please at least tone it down! You've been getting more and more outrageous lately!
At this moment, Xiao's face was rosy, and it was not known whether it was due to the mist or some other reason.
He was trying to recall whether he had any inappropriate thoughts for children or disrespectful to the master when Green Goblin's voice rang out.
"This kind of... um, self-examination, I've never done that before. It feels... quite novel."
elf:??
Xiao: Why are you following him? Do you know what he's talking about?
Red Xiao: "Hehe, what do you think I'm talking about?"
Green Mandrill: "Hmm? What?"
elf:"……"
Xiao: I know you can hear me, so I advise you to be more restrained.
Red Mandrill: "Okay, okay~"
Green Mandrill: “?”
Red Mandrill: "It's nothing, I just find it a bit troublesome not having my own body. Someone is always worried that the shared body will be damaged, which makes me feel restricted in fighting. It's really annoying."
Green Mandrill: "Damage your body? Is that really possible?"
Red Xiao: "Why, you don't believe me? Let me show you."
Xiao: "Well, now is the time to relax in the hot springs, let's put the fighting aside for now."
Red Mandrill's voice sounded rather regretful: "Okay, whatever you say."
Xiao didn't expect that taking a hot spring bath alone could be so lively.
But... not bad.
This moment of relaxation and privacy belongs only to him, only to them.
However, Xiao did not notice that Kaze Weasel and Akahoshi, who were watching from a distance, raised their heads at the same time, as if something was approaching here from the air.
