Draw the Poké Ball at the start

Even though he had left this road that was not suitable for camping, Qi Kaidong still felt uneasy.

The number of wild royal pets has suddenly increased. Who knows whether their range of activities will also increase.

Just in case, he led the caravan for another ten kilometers before stopping to set up camp.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened.

They had been busy traveling all day, and the people in the caravan didn't even bother to eat hot food. They just casually dealt with a few mouthfuls of dry food.

Now that it has stopped, except for Zhang Shaoyang and the three people who are camping, the others in the caravan have made fires to cook and get busy.

In fact, Hao Jun and Sun Zhe originally wanted to help with something, but were stopped by Qi Kaidong.

It is said that if everyone goes to do these chores, no one will be vigilant.

The two then gave up, called out their royal pets, and began to patrol the surrounding area.

As for Zhang Shaoyang, since he walked out of that section of the road, he lay back on the cart again.

Qi Kaidong worked hard for a while, and when he saw that everything that needed to be done was almost done, he went to ask Zhang Shaoyang to get up for dinner.

He did not expect the sudden increase in the number of wild royal pets. Fortunately, Zhang Shaoyang was here today.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for the people in the caravan to pass that section of the road smoothly.

Maybe there will be casualties, loss of personnel, and loss of goods.

This would be an absolute disaster for an ordinary caravan.

Except for doubting the purpose of Zhang Shaoyang and the others at the beginning.

Qi Kaidong now feels more and more that it is a blessing for the caravan that Zhang Shaoyang and the other three can go on the road with them.

"Shaoyang, the meal is ready, you can come over and eat... What's wrong with you?"

Walking to the cart, Qi Kaidong greeted Zhang Shaoyang.

Then he noticed that Zhang Shaoyang was frowning in deep thought, as if he had something on his mind.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Shaoyang suddenly woke up.

He turned around and saw that it was Qi Kaidong, so he responded:

"Come here."

He lazily sat up from the cart, stretched, and jumped off the cart.

He stretched his neck and sniffed the air, and said unexpectedly:

"It smells so good...made the broth tonight? I can smell it."

Qi Kaidong laughed and said:

“Isn’t it a tiring day today, plus I purchased a lot of things in Tag City.

I asked someone to make some steelback pig meat stew to replenish everyone. "

After hesitating for a moment, he continued:

"Shaoyang, after that battle in the arena, we can be considered friends, right?

Don't blame me for talking too much.

I think you seemed to have something on your mind just now. If it's convenient for you, you can tell me.

Although my strength is very average, after all, I have seen a little bit of the world, and I am pretty good at being worldly.

Maybe I can help you. "

Zhang Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:

"It's nothing inconvenient. It's not a big deal. It's just me..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a "gurgling" sound coming from his stomach, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Qi Kaidong glanced at Zhang Shaoyang's belly subconsciously and said with a smile on his face:

"It's okay, let's eat first and then talk after eating."

The dry food prepared by the caravan is truly dry food, just some dry flour cakes.

Not only is it hard, but it also has no taste at all. It can only fill your stomach and has nothing to do with delicious food.

Zhang Shaoyang couldn't bring up the slightest appetite for such tasteless things.

I only took one or two bites during the day and then stopped eating.

Now smelling the rich aroma emanating from the broth, he was so hungry that his mouth was already full of saliva and he kept swallowing his saliva.

Quickly came to the campfire.

He stretched his head and looked at the crispy steel-backed pork that was simmering in the cauldron as the thick soup kept boiling.

Not caring that the broth was still very hot, he scooped up a large bowl for himself and poured it into his mouth.

Even though he was so burned that he grinned, he didn't spit it out.

After drinking a bowl, big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his cheeks turned red.

Perhaps because he felt hungry, he drank a few more bowls in a row, which suppressed the burning feeling in his stomach.

"belch…"

He burped and resumed his normal eating pace.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that Hao Jun and Sun Zhe had arrived at some unknown time.

The two of them actually held a large bowl of broth in one hand and kept blowing on it.

After the broth cooled down a bit, he poured it into his mouth.

He immediately showed a stern gaze, completely forgetting that his behavior just now was even worse than these two people.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Shaoyang became energetic and talked to Qi Kaidong about what he had been thinking about just now.

"Do you remember what happened in the arena?"

His eyes moved around the faces of the three people.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, unable to realize what Zhang Shaoyang was referring to specifically.

Sun Zhe rolled his eyes and said tentatively:

"Are you talking about the person who suddenly appeared?"

In yesterday's match, he, Hao Jun, and Qi Kaidong were just playing games from the beginning to the end.

More like an audience than a contestant.

He remembered everything that happened on the battlefield.

Except for the person who appeared out of nowhere, there seemed to be nothing worth paying attention to.

Zhang Shaoyang nodded and said:

"That's him! Don't you think there's a problem here?

A living person can actually appear out of thin air. How on earth did he do it? "

"Hmm...what's so strange about this? He must have used the power of his royal pet." Hao Jun said matter-of-factly.

Hearing this, Zhang Shaoyang immediately rolled his eyes.

Sun Zhe also shook his head and said:

"impossible."

"Why?" Hao Jun was very puzzled.

"It's the royal pet's attributes that are wrong!" Sun Zhe didn't say anything, but Qi Kaidong suddenly realized.

Sun Zhe nodded, looked at Hao Jun, and reminded:

"Have you forgotten what royal pet that person was using at that time?"

Hao Jun frowned and recalled, then said:

"I remember the senior said that the two royal pets are called the Iron Rhinoceros and the Electric Leopard."

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Shaoyang, as if he wanted to confirm.

But Zhang Shaoyang ignored him.

"That's right." Sun Zhe looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, "Those two royal pets, the iron rhinoceros is of the rock type, and the electric leopard is of the thunder type.

None of them have the ability to help the pet master hide, so it cannot be the ability of his pet master. "

"That dwarf's royal pet helped him hide it." Hao Jun said reluctantly.

Sun Zhe knew that the dwarf Hao Jun was talking about was Luo Wei, but he still shook his head and explained:

“That dwarf’s shadow hunter is indeed a dark-type royal pet.

But don’t forget, that shadow hunter had already been killed by the senior at that time.

And that person appeared after this, so the time doesn't match up.

And even if the Shadow Slayer is still alive, it can't be it.

Pets like Shadow Hunters do not have the ability to let other people or pets enter the shadows. "

Hao Jun was immediately speechless.

But if it weren't for the power of the Royal Pet, how could that person be hidden?

After convincing Hao Jun, Sun Zhe couldn't help but frown deeply.

Qi Kaidong also looked confused.

He looked at Zhang Shaoyang and said with a wry smile:

"Shaoyang, it seems that I am arrogant and failed to help you."

Zhang Shaoyang waved his hand and said indifferently;

"It's okay, the matter is over anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't think clearly."

Immediately, the four of them chatted for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Shaoyang found that Hao Jun had yawned several times in a row, so he said:

"We've been traveling all day today. Let's all rest early."

After that, he stood up and wandered towards his tent.

Seeing that Zhang Shaoyang had left, Qi Kaidong also stood up and prepared to go back and rest.

At this moment, he suddenly heard Sun Zhe ask:

"Old Qi, after the competition, did you notice where the person who suddenly appeared went?"

Qi Kaidong stopped, recalled something, and said:

"I remember that after Shaoyang asked the caregiver to open the barrier, that person recalled his royal pet and ran away."

After finishing speaking, he said doubtfully:

"What's wrong, does this have anything to do with his sudden appearance?"

Sun Zhe shook his head slowly:

"I don't know, I'm just asking casually."

"Oh, that's okay, I'm going to have a rest. You guys should go to bed early too."

Qi Kaidong yawned and left slowly.

Late at night, the bright full moon hung high in the sky, without a single cloud in the sky.

The moonlight was like frost, as if it had covered the earth with a layer of gauze.

The camp was set up in an open area, and apart from the sound of some insects, there were no other unusual noises around.

The bonfire that had been used to stew the stew had not been extinguished and was still swaying.

However, the fire was not as fierce as it was then.

At this time, the curtain of a tent was opened.

Then a slight sound of footsteps sounded in the camp.

Click, click, click...

A man walked slowly towards the bonfire and sat down beside it.

"Eh? Shaoyang, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Qi Kaidong, who was on duty at night, patrolled and returned to the camp, and happened to see Zhang Shaoyang staring at the bonfire in a daze.

Zhang Shaoyang turned around and said with a smile:

"Xiao Junjun snored so loudly that I couldn't sleep, so I came out to get some air."

Qi Kaidong walked to Zhang Shaoyang and sat down, adding some firewood to the bonfire.

Through the constantly beating bonfire, he glanced at Zhang Shaoyang and said:

"Why, are you still thinking about that?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Shaoyang nodded and said:

"I always felt like there was something wrong here, but I just couldn't figure out what it was."

The temperature is already very low during this season, and it gets even colder late at night.

Staying by the campfire, Qi Kaedong still couldn't dispel the chill, so he boiled some water.

He poured a bowl for Zhang Shaoyang and himself.

After taking a sip, he smiled and said:

"Didn't you tell us not to think about it? Why are you still thinking about it?

I'm afraid you can't sleep just because you're thinking about this, right?

Listen to me, stop thinking about it, go back to sleep.

I might need your help tomorrow. "

Zhang Shaoyang did not get up, took a sip of the boiling water, and said helplessly:

"I want to sleep too, but there's nothing I can do if I can't sleep."

Qi Kaidong has a deep understanding of what it feels like to have insomnia.

He sighed, stopped persuading Zhang Shaoyang, stirred the top firewood, and fell silent.

The burning wood crackled as he fiddled with it.

After a while, Qi Kaidong suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way, Sun Zhe asked me about the whereabouts of that person after the competition."

Zhang Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said:

"Oh, is it so?"

He recalled for a moment, vaguely remembering that the man slipped away after he asked the caregiver to open the barrier.

No one knows where he went.

"Why did he remember to ask this?"

"I asked him, but he just said it was a casual question." Qi Kaedong said.

Zhang Shaoyang fell into deep thought.

After a while, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said in a condensed voice:

"I understand. I'm afraid the reason why that person suddenly appeared has something to do with that Luo Wei."

Qi Kaidong couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhang Shaoyang realized that what he said was not accurate and changed his words:

"I mean, it was because of Luo Wei's help that he was able to hide from everyone and enter the arena.

Think about it, he appeared suddenly when he appeared, but he didn't disappear suddenly when he left.

Guess why? "

"Because Lowe was already dead by then!"

Qi Kaidong suddenly realized.

"That's right." Zhang Shaoyang gradually smiled, "Luo Wei is the key point in this matter."

Things are starting to become clear here.

Ponze appears because Lowe is desperate and needs his help to get out of trouble.

Pang Ze's own strength does not pose a threat to Zhang Shaoyang.

This is also the reason why Luo Wei did not let Pang Ze show up when he faced Zhang Shaoyang.

But Pang Ze, who has two elite warrior-level royal pets, is very useful against Qi Wei and others.

Especially when combined with the Dire Wolf, which can suppress wolves, the battle can be quickly resolved with almost no effort.

If Zhang Shaoyang hadn't taken action, all six people in the temporary alliance would have died.

"But if that Luo Wei has this ability, then why doesn't he use it on himself?

I think your ability is not enough to discover him after hiding, right?

Anyway, the caregiver has spoken and the competition cannot last more than an hour.

He had no way out at that time, so he might as well give it a try.

Moreover, what if that person deliberately failed to use that ability in the end? "

Qi Kaidong's words immediately made Zhang Shaoyang hesitate.

Zhang Shaoyang thought for a while and said decisively:

"No, you're not right.

First, I had already promised that dwarf that I would let him live if he paid for his life.

So there is no dead end.

As long as he can take care of those six people, he can still survive.

Second, the life-buying money targets all of them.

In other words, the person who suddenly appeared should also pay me money in the end, but I forgot at the time.

This is why he ran away as soon as the barrier opened.

He was afraid that if I remembered this incident, I would come back to him and ask for money.

You think, if he could really achieve that level of concealment, he would disappear and run away immediately.

Instead of running with your legs. "

What Zhang Shaoyang said barely made sense, but Qi Kaidong always felt it was a bit far-fetched.

Glancing at Zhang Shaoyang, who was getting more and more excited as he talked, he still didn't express his feelings, but said:

“Even so, we still don’t know how he hides himself.

Moreover, after Lowe's death, unless we find that person, we may never know the truth of the matter. "

Zhang Shaoyang was suddenly speechless.

After being silent for a long time, he drank the already cold water in one gulp, stood up, and walked elsewhere.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Qi Kaidong shouted looking at Zhang Shaoyang's leaving back.

Zhang Shaoyang did not look back, and a voice came into Qi Kaidong's ears along the night wind.

"I don't want to think about it anymore, go to sleep."
