Chapter 673: Secret Base

Dong Rui was about to reach out to slap, but Xi Yunhe stepped forward: "I'll go first."

This guy was indeed on guard against him. Dong Rui was slightly frightened, but he looked indifferent.

At this moment, there was a loud bang next to him!

The utility room of the carriage and horse inn exploded.

It was only two feet away from everyone, and the powerful shock wave pushed everyone to stagger.

Thick white smoke rose, and there seemed to be a shadow flashing inside.

The three guards immediately stepped forward, and Xi Yunhe dodged in front of Dong Rui and said in a deep voice: "Shoot!"

No matter who it is, shoot it down first.

He was not sure in his heart. Qingyang State Master dared to frame Dong Rui, which meant that she might know the latter's residence.

The pursuers could come at any time, and he couldn't blame him for being suspicious.

The sudden change made no one notice that the snail toad behind him lowered its big head and approached Dong Rui.

At this time, a monster jumped out of the carriage and horse inn. With the white smoke covering it, the guards thought it was a monkey at first glance.

However, it was not.

This is actually a huge bat. Its face is not as ugly as other species. Instead, it looks a bit like a monkey or a little bear. It is a bit cute when it closes its mouth.

However, when it opens its mouth, it is full of interlaced canine teeth.

Except for its head, it has no hair on its body. Its skin is like a lizard, covered with fine wrinkles.

Each bone finger of its wings has a slender spike.

What the hell is this?

With Xi Yunhe's wide experience, he has never seen such a monster. It is full of weirdness and incoordination.

Speaking of incoordination, he was moved. This thing really looks like a demon puppet!

Damn.

"Catch..." Xi Yunhe turned back suddenly and saw the snail toad open its mouth and swallow Dong Rui in one bite!

It dived down, like a fish diving, and dived directly into the ground!

It did not give Xi Yunhe and others any chance to intercept it.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Dong Rui and the snail toad disappeared, and the backyard of the carriage and horse inn returned to an empty muddy ground.

"..." Unable to catch up, Xi Yunhe punched the wall.

At this time, the guard who entered the house to get the box also jumped over the wall, and was in doubt: "Sir, we are now..."

"Retreat!"

The explosion in the downtown area will definitely attract onlookers. We can't stay here for long.

Before Xi Yunhe left, he looked back again. He saw that the demon puppet flapped its wings and flew to the corner tower not far away.

Even such a thing knows how to hide itself. Dong Rui's reputation as a master of escape is really not covered. I was not careful and fell into his trap.

However, as long as Dong Rui does not appear again and does not implicate Master Shuangye, his mission is considered completed.

...

As soon as Xi Yunhe and his men left, He Lingchuan put down the big bowl and stood up: "Check out."

The explosion alarmed the neighbors, and everyone came to the carriage and horse inn to look around.

He Lingchuan walked over and stretched his neck like them, but in fact, a small spider jumped down from the wall and landed in his lapel.

After taking back the eyeball spider, He Lingchuan turned around and left.

The government office would send someone over soon, and for him, it was not suitable to stay here for long.

Entering the noodle soup shop again, He Lingchuan led the mountain goat out from the back and walked back along the street.

"It's not good!" The mirror in his arms kept chattering, "Qingyang State Master actually accused Dong Rui, so what about Nian Zanli?"

He Lingchuan didn't say a word.

The mirror said again: "If Nian Zanli really borrowed those tens of thousands of troops, your Yuan Kingdom would be in big trouble. Master, you are the sinner of Yuan Kingdom!"

He Lingchuan frowned and patted his chest:

"Shut up."

He originally had a series of plans, an important part of which was to use the divine blood to frame Nian Zanli, so that he would be imprisoned or subjected to the investigation of the Heavenly Palace, so that he could not use the token of Frost Leaf State Master to borrow troops to attack Yuan.

But now Qingyang State Master identified Dong Rui as the source of his divine blood.

Although Dong Rui did have divine blood, this disrupted He Lingchuan's plan.

What to do?

Should he just sit back and watch Nian Zanli escape his trap? That would cause endless trouble.

A trace of cruelty suddenly flashed in He Lingchuan's eyes: "Why not, just do it once and for all!"

The mirror didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"Isn't the god determined to trace the source of the blood?" The busy streets were very noisy. He Lingchuan lowered his voice. No one paid attention to or cared about what he said, except for the soul-catching mirror. "Then bind Nian Zanli and Dong Rui!"

"Huh?" Bind, bind? Is that what it understood?

He Lingchuan kept silent, thinking about new plans all the way.

It's not easy to accomplish great things. There are many complications along the way, and he has to adapt to them.

Suddenly, his face was cold.

He Lingchuan looked up and saw silver threads falling from the sky.

It's raining.

...

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. When He Lingchuan returned to Pianxiang Villa, his clothes were soaked.

Fu Shanyue went out and would not return to the villa today.

He Lingchuan walked to the back mountain without a word. After being lost many times, Tongxinwei was no longer surprised by his sudden appearance.

He boarded the pleasure boat and rowed to the center of the lake.

The lake behind Qilin Mountain was very quiet, and there were several small islands in the lake, like pearls.

Although it was late autumn, the trees on the islands were still dense. In the past, the trees on these islands were specially planted evergreen species, and they could even change color and bloom in autumn and winter, such as the kapok.

People on the shore could only see a circle of lush green on the island in the middle of the lake, and had no idea of ​​the details inside.

There were even two giant banyan trees on the island, with canopies like umbrellas, covering half of the island.

He Lingchuan boarded the island and walked in through the dense outer forest.

The island is not big, only about 300 square meters, but there are two houses under the giant banyan tree, with intact doors and windows.

Originally, this island was a private place for the previous owner to play, and then it was abandoned for ten years along with the entire Pianxiang Villa. After the villa was given to Fushan Yue, the servants worked hard to clean the buildings and gardens everywhere, but missed these islands in the middle of the lake -

First, there are no boats, and second, it is inevitable to be lazy in places where there are few people.

In short, this is now an extremely secluded place, and there are even few birds because there are too many snakes. He Lingchuan walked along the grass and actually encountered four snakes. The big one was as big as a wrist, and the small one was not as thick as a chopstick.

Apparently, the island in the middle of the lake, which had not been disturbed for ten years, has become a paradise for snakes.

He Lingchuan walked to the open space in front of the house. It has been under the shade of the giant banyan tree all year round. The thick rot and leaves on the ground are even more humid after the rain, which is just right for reptiles to live.

The heavy rain suddenly stopped, and the air was filled with the smell of soil and grass.

He Lingchuan took out a few round beads from his arms, crushed them, and smeared them on the ground.

These are the eggs of the snail toad.

Just in case, he climbed up the giant banyan tree and kept a little distance from the ground.

How did Zhongsun Mou die? He didn't trust the snail toad enough, and he couldn't repeat the same mistake.

The surrounding insects and birds chirped, and it was quiet.

He also took off his wet shirt and changed into a clean set of clothes.

After about a cup of tea, the ground under the giant banyan tree suddenly collapsed slightly.

Then, the giant shell of the snail toad slowly floated up from the ground and landed steadily at the bottom of the tree.

Dong Rui jumped out of the snail shell, looked around, and saw He Lingchuan jumping down from the top of the tree, and spat on the ground:

"You hide so far away, are you afraid that I will plot against you?"

"I have 120 confidences in you." He Lingchuan lied without blinking, "But I have blown up the snail toad, and I am afraid that it will bear a grudge."

To put it bluntly, he still doesn't believe in his control over the snail toad? Dong Rui rolled his eyes, looked around and said with disdain:

"You just found me this kind of place?"

In the highly sophisticated Lingxu City, there is still such a wild jungle? Could it be a manor on a mountain?

There are also two houses in front, which look very impressive, but are actually covered with dust and leaves. He also saw two earthworms walking out of the window.

"We are in the Pianxiang Villa in Fushanyue. This is an island surrounded by water. Idle people can't come up. The moist soil is good for the snail toad." He Lingchuan smiled, "You are a fugitive, you want a hiding place, do you want to live in the bright lights and wine?"

He thinks Dong Rui is a dead otaku. When studying demon puppets, he can stay at home. This island should be a perfect match.

Dong Rui scratched his head and admitted it.

With the snail toad in his hand, he can live anywhere, no matter inside or outside Lingxu City.

He patted the snail toad, and the size of this behemoth was extremely fast. In the end, it was only as big as a hand drum.

He Lingchuan felt that his eyes were opened.

No wonder the snail toad is not easy to be found in the suburbs. It turns out that this thing can grow and shrink.

But think about it, each of Dong Rui's demon puppets seems to be able to change its size. It is said that this is the ability of the gods. The demon puppets made with divine blood may also have some abilities.

No wonder he dared to stay in Lingxu City. As long as the snail toad is not so conspicuous, the probability of Dong Rui being discovered will be reduced by at least half.

Dong Rui carried the snail toad to the root of the big tree. The humidity here is very heavy, and mollusks like it. "You will dig a hole here and fill it with water later. Snail toads also like water."

"Okay."

"I also want to make a hidden formation." Dong Rui looked up at the sky, "There are often birds flying over here."

This is the kingdom of demons. Who knows which corner will have a pair of small eyes staring at you silently? It's better to be cautious.

He Lingchuan helped him to set up the formation.

This formation is harmless to humans and animals. It is just a sleight of hand. Whether approaching from the ground or looking down from the sky, the place is still full of vegetation. As long as you don't use your energy to see through it, others can't find Dong Rui. Walking around the island, you can't even reach the side of the house.

I didn't expect Dong Rui to be so versatile. "The wanted criminals rewarded by the Beijia Land List are different. By the way, it seems that Zhu Erniang ranks higher than you."

Dong Rui sneered: "What's the matter? You wait until Lingxu City issues a wanted order this time?"

After saying that, I felt something was wrong. What is there to compare?

The formation is simple and it was set up in a few steps. He Lingchuan took out an oil paper bag from the storage ring and handed it to him.

Dong Rui opened it and saw that it was a few beautiful golden cakes, still warm.

"Yilan Soup Noodle House?"

"It's the noodle shop outside the carriage and horse inn anyway." He Lingchuan handed him another storage bag with a few buckets of water in it. "Don't go to the waterside, it's easy to be exposed. If you have to, drive the snail toad in and out from underground. If you have anything, find me--"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bat fell from the air and landed on Dong Rui's shoulder with a clatter.
