Chapter 220

Hu Buxi took a bath and put on her clothes smoothly. After Xing Shan and the others went into the water, she carefully observed the surrounding environment, but after a while, she heard the low roar of the previous beast again.

"Again?"

Hu Buxi frowned and was no longer as panicked as last time. Since he couldn't catch the beast no matter how hard he pursued it, it was better to stop quietly and see what the other party wanted.

The roar of the beast was getting closer, and Xing Shan and the others naturally heard it. The three of them quickly washed off the dirt on their bodies, and then went ashore to put on their clothes.

"The beast's roar is so realistic, it doesn't seem artificial."

"But why does it appear every time we take a shower? Is there any special meaning in it?"

Hearing the guess of the Hou brothers, Xing Shan grasped the saber calmly, "No matter what the reason is, we will find out when we find it."

"But what if you can't find it?"

Hou Zuo didn't have much confidence in this, "Don't forget that last time we were led around in the dense forest by it, and we found nothing in the end, and almost lost our way."

"If you didn't get anything last time, it doesn't mean you won't have it this time."

Xing Shan has never been a discouraged person, but his subordinates always lack confidence.

"Brother is right."

Although Hu Buxi also felt that the possibility of finding the beast was slim, she still supported Xing Shan unconditionally, "You have to try everything before you know the result."

Seeing the two brothers and sisters singing together, Hou Zuo smiled lightly and did not speak.

Hou You has a more upright temperament and couldn't help but mutter, "I have suffered a loss once and have to be fooled a second time. I don't have the mood or physical strength to do so."

"Ayou."

Hou Zuo gave a low reprimand, obviously afraid that he would offend Xing Shan.

Xing Shan smiled good-naturedly and said gently: "It doesn't matter. If Ayou doesn't want to chase him, you two can just rest where you are. We will come back to you after we finish chasing him."

Hearing this, Houyou's expression became a little uneasy, "What do you mean? Are you trying to dissuade us? We were ordered to help you, so why would we leave you to rest where you are?"

Xing Shan looked innocent, "That's not what I meant. I really want you to have a good rest, that's all."

"All right."

Hou Zuo smoothed things over, "It's a good intention to arrest the head, Ayou, don't talk about it."

Then, he looked at Xing Shan, and said: "We will go after you together. In this wilderness, it is more dangerous to deviate from the team."

Hearing what he said, Xing Shan nodded slightly, "Alright."

Hu Buxi saw that they had not served the sentence, his eyes could not help but sink, and he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

The four found Zhan Dabao and Bu Yifan, and once again drove the carriage to chase after the roar of the beast. Although Zhan Dabao and Bu Yifan also felt tired, they did not refuse Xing Shan's proposal to continue tracking. In this dense mountain forest, It’s also good to go around in circles a few times to get familiar with the direction.

Just like last time, the crowd chased all night, but they still couldn't find the source of the beast's roar, and when they returned to the original place, the fire had already been extinguished unconsciously, leaving the mess and gunpowder smoke all over the ground to remind them Things really existed.

"Okay, everyone continue to rest where they are, and continue to investigate after getting enough sleep."

When Xing Shan gave an order, everyone fell down on the spot. After searching for these days, they didn't even have the strength to spread hay.

Bu Yifan knew that Zhan Dabao didn't like this kind of environment, so he took off his coat and put it on the ground for him, "Dabao, I'm too tired today, so I won't look for hay, just lie on my clothes and make do with it." .”

"Ah."

Zhan Dabao responded in a low voice, the long-term fatigue made him no longer have the strength to care about the situation.

Seeing everyone working so hard, Hou You couldn't help but complain, "If we hadn't chased after last night, we'd all be rested now, I really don't know why you like wasting energy and time so much."

Hearing his words, everyone's faces turned ugly, because what he said was the truth, which made everyone feel more heartbroken.

Houzuo's lips moved, and he wanted to open his mouth to smooth things over, but seeing Houyou's unhappy face, he finally closed his mouth tightly, unable to bear to let his brother feel wronged.

Seeing that no one spoke, Hu Buxi frowned and said displeasedly, "The case is not over yet, how do you know that everything we do is a waste of time? If you have the ability, you can follow your method Go grab a blood unicorn and have a look. If you can't do it, please keep your mouth shut."

"you?!"

Hou You didn't expect Hu Buxi to be so eloquent. In fact, he should have noticed this every time the other party quarreled with Zhan Dabao, but he didn't bother to be with Xing Shan and others, so he didn't notice it all the time.

Or, he had noticed it a long time ago, but Hu Buxi didn't want to embarrass Xing Shan, and he never said anything to embarrass him, so he was careless.

"puff!"

Zhan Dabao couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard Hu Buxi complaining about Houyou, "Finally someone has the same illness as me."

Hearing his joking words, the atmosphere at the scene improved a lot, and Xing Shan also smoothed things over in a timely manner, "Okay, everyone, go to bed early."

Everyone lay down again and closed their eyes.

Houyou ate for nothing, his temper suddenly became irritable, and he lay on the ground for a long time unable to sleep.

Seeing this situation, Hou Zuo patted his hand and comforted him softly: "Since it's here, please be safe."

Although they are not Xing Shan's subordinates, but they are designated to help Xing Shan, it doesn't matter whether they serve their sentence or not, they should bow their heads.

Otherwise, when he came to the emperor in the future, would he be so angry because the other party was incompetent?
Houyou looked into Hou Zuo's eyes, and instantly understood what he meant.

The two of them were supposed to be great generals, but now they were sent to help the Shuntian Mansion, not only because of Xing Wentian, but also because the court wanted to sharpen their spirits.

Now the vigor has indeed been worn down, but the anger in my heart can't be dispelled no matter what.

They rested on the spot for a day and a night before they managed to regain their strength. During this period, the roar of the beast never appeared again, and there was no fire in Mengyin Mountain again. It seemed that everything was just a dream of theirs.

If it weren't for the fact that the place that was burned by the fire was still vivid in front of them, everyone would almost doubt the authenticity of the matter.

"What should I do next?"

Hu Buxi frowned. She, who was always resourceful, had no idea at this moment.

"Continue to search in the mountains and forests."

Xing Shan said calmly: "Whether it's a human or a beast, I believe our arrival has attracted the attention of the other party. As long as we don't leave, they will show their feet sooner or later."
