Agent Time Travel: Apocalypse in the Magical World
Chapter 24 The monster escapes
"Xiaoxian, let me tell you, in the Sword Sect, I obey Granny Cai and no one else. Now, I have another idol to worship, and that is you!"
Roland sat by the bonfire next to the radish patch, drinking the wine Qin Xiaoxian had brewed for the past two months and chattering.
There was a small pot on the bonfire, the oil in it was boiling constantly, and there were some freshly fried chicken pieces on the stone pile next to it.
Xu Haoran sat on the other side of the bonfire, drinking this thing called liquor to himself. After every glass of wine, he stared at the carrot head eating crispy roast pork in the small lounge chair opposite.
"Senior Brother Luo, drink less." Qin Xiaoxian looked at them with a smile.
"Don't be reluctant, but after all, this wine of yours is called wine. I heard that the wine on the market was accidentally made by a mage when refining magic medicine. It is called medicine!"
Xu Haoran also praised for the first time: "Well, your wine is delicious." After saying this, he fell down with a snap and fell unconscious.
Roland laughed loudly, picked up another piece of fried chicken, dipped it in the sweet tomato sauce on the small plate, and ate it happily.
"Brother, your cooking skills are incredible. Compared with you, what kind of stuff are those made by the Internal Affairs Garden? Rubbish! It's just rubbish!"
With another piece of roasted suckling pig in his mouth and a sip of white wine, Roland felt that his life had reached a climax.
"Are you still leaving?" Qin Xiaoxian smiled.
"I won't leave, and I won't leave because of your wine and meat."
"The meat is okay, but the wine is not that good, and the distillation tools are not that good."
"Is your wine not good enough? Stop being modest. Let me tell you, if I drink your wine, I won't be afraid even if Granny Cai whips me to death with a bone whip."
The bonfire flickered for a moment.
The shadows of several people also swayed.
Qin Xiaoxian stopped smiling.
Xu Haoran sat up again by accident and tried to keep his eyes open.
Roland held the cup stiffly, and big beads of sweat began to drip down unbridled.
Carrot Head had long since disappeared, leaving only a small rocking chair still rocking.
"This wine is indeed good."
Granny Cai picked up Xu Haoran's wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"If Elder Cai likes it, I still have some." Qin Xiaoxian said with a flattering smile.
"Where did you get the stuff to make wine?"
"I made a little money, didn't I? I got it back when I asked a well-connected senior to do a task."
"Over at the Spiritual Beast Garden, three horned chickens and a baby pig were lost last night. What do you think of this?"
Roland couldn't help but take a bite of the roasted suckling pig that he hadn't yet swallowed.
Xu Haoran looked at the fried chicken pieces that were still steaming on the table.
I'll be a good boy!
The two stood up slowly, instantly covered in sweat and half sober from the wine.
Grandma Cai held the empty cup in her hand and stretched it forward. Qin Xiaoxian quickly poured another cup.
"I don't know which god did it. Several of our elders went to see it. The technique is indeed clean. So far, the man named Yao has not found any clues. But no matter who did it, I feel happy, relieved, and relieved. I, Lingcaoyuan, am so angry."
After drinking another glass of wine, he raised his hand to signal Roland and Xu Haoran to sit down.
The two people had no choice but to sit down in panic, but only half of their buttocks were touching the bench, and they were still leaning sideways.
"You kids, go ahead and get together, I'm leaving. Remember to bring the wine to me outside the door tomorrow."
After saying that, Granny Cai laughed and left.
Roland and Xu Haoran did not dare to eat and drink any more, and found an excuse to leave.
Qin Xiaoxian saw them off with a smile, and said as he walked: "Two senior brothers and sisters, we have drank the wine and eaten the meat together. From tomorrow on, we are really a family. Luobotou, why don't you come and see my senior brother off soon? Senior sister!"
Carrot Head poked his head out of the radish field and waved his paws in greeting.
Roland and Xu Haoran looked at each other, said nothing, and hurried back with a polite word.
Qin Xiaoxian smiled, packed the barbecue and fried chicken wings separately and put them into the ring.
The next day, the news spread.
A strange case occurred in the Spiritual Beast Garden. Three horned chickens and a calico piglet disappeared mysteriously, leaving no trace at the scene.
Is it a lack of humanity or a loss of morality?
Is it a sudden visit from aliens, or is it the truth that the insider is trying to cover up?
There are layers of fog outside the mystery, and it instantly shot to the top of the Jianzong gossip list and became a topic of conversation after dinner.
Because there are still monsters in the Spirit Beast Garden, the sect leader Hong Ruhai personally came to the scene to check the theft, but he had no clue.
There are tasks to collect clues on the square platform task board, and the reward points will start.
Roland and Xu Haoran have become much more haggard in the past half month.
Especially Roland, he felt like he had lost a lot of weight.
Maybe they are tired from hard work, maybe they are frightened by the stolen goods, or more likely they are hungry because they have eaten delicious food and find it difficult to swallow other meals.
All in all, I have lost weight visibly.
But fortunately, the stream flowing to his and Xu Haoran's fields was flowing again, and Carrot Tou did not cause trouble again. At the end of the month, he barely passed the test.
Finally, Granny Cai was not punished with a bone whip.
But on this day, a few people from the Internal Affairs Garden and a few people from the Discipline Garden came to the door.
"This is the junior brother who came to our Spiritual Beast Garden that day."
Apparently the two seniors who led Qin Xiaoxian around the Spiritual Beast Garden that day came to identify Qin Xiaoxian.
"It's me, it's me, what's wrong with the senior brothers?" Qin Xiaoxian looked honest and courteous.
"Please come with us. We at the Discipline Garden are investigating the theft of the Spiritual Beast Garden."
The disciple of Discipline Garden said.
Roland and Xu Haoran's faces turned pale.
Qin Xiaoxian looked confused: "What does it have to do with me?"
"As long as there is any suspicion, we will investigate it. After all, on the day of the theft, you were the only outsider who went to the Spiritual Beast Garden."
"Want to bring someone from Lingcaoyuan? Have you asked me?" Granny Cai sat down in the yard at some point, holding a wine gourd in her hand.
"I've met Elder Cai." Everyone saluted together.
"Elder Cai, we were ordered by Elder Hong to investigate the theft of the Spiritual Beast Garden, and that is to take this little brother for questioning."
"I was also at the survey site that day. There were no clues. You came to our Lingcao Garden to pick up people. You look down on me, a fourth-level free law guard."
"Elder Cai, you are serious. We are also under orders to do things. We really just want to ask him, please don't make things difficult for us."
"I've made things difficult for you, what's wrong? Let Hong Tao come to me in person!"
Granny Cai's evil reputation was well known to everyone, so they had no choice but to give up, salute and leave angrily.
Grandma Cai cursed, turned to Qin Xiaoxian and the others and said, "What should you do? Your skin is itchy again?"
The three of them quickly got to work.
"By the way, Qin Xiaoxian, next month is this year's rookie competition. You should prepare well."
Granny Cai took another sip of wine and said.
Yes, Qin Xiaoxian remembered that he still had a contract with the Gu family.
"What is this newcomer competing for?" Qin Xiaoxian asked.
Grandma Cai ignored him and turned around to leave.
Roland whispered from the side: "Didn't the teacher teach you in the legal education class?"
"I didn't go to class very often."
"..."
"Kind Senior Brother Luo, please tell me."
"But I still have to work on my crops." Roland raised his legs to leave.
"Carrot head is so boring today." Qin Xiaoxian sighed lightly.
"Junior brother, come on, senior brother, let me tell you something." Roland looked sincere.
"No, no, no, no, senior brother is very busy."
"Anyway, junior brother's matters are more important than anything else."
"Okay, let's go and talk in my room."
"Um, Junior Brother Xiaoxian." Xu Haoran suddenly spoke and stopped them.
"Ok?"
"Can you lend me the carrot head? I want it to help weed my fields."
Qin Xiaoxian had long discovered that Xu Haoran had always looked at the carrot head in ecstasy ever since he knew that he had manipulated the carrot head. That look in his eyes was definitely the look in a woman's eyes when she saw her beloved item. It was unmistakable.
Before, I used to hit her with a hammer, but now I always want to hit the rat. Hey, woman.
"alright."
Qin Xiaoxian flicked his sleeves, and the carrot head reluctantly crawled towards Xu Haoran.
Xu Haoran picked it up, stroked it with a smile and said to Carrot Head: "Let's go, sister and you will take a bath."
Roland was speechless, but Qin Xiaoxian followed.
"Senior sister, you don't know how to bathe Carrot Head. It's very picky. I'll show you. Let's go together."
Xu Haoran picked up the hammer and looked at Qin Xiaoxian.
"Ah, I almost forgot. Senior Brother Luo has to tell me about the rookie competition. What a coincidence. Maybe next time." Qin Xiaoxian walked back while patting his forehead.
In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoxian walked out of Lingcao Garden with a droopy face.
Hey, it's too dark. You can get 10,000 merit points by signing up for the newcomer competition. Qin Xiaoxian knows this.
But I didn’t expect that in addition to the registration fee, I also had to pay venue fees, service fees, material fees, etc. separately.
No wonder it was so satisfying to find someone to exchange merit points for money last time. It seems that this sect has to use merit points to trade everything.
Fortunately, once the radishes are harvested at the end of the month, all these expenses will be covered.
Now there is a small problem. I still need to complete Lingwu. The registration form is still empty. I can’t pass the test without registering for the Lingwu Newcomer Competition.
I had no choice but to go to the Lingwu Hall in the Internal Affairs Garden.
"This pair of scissors has eight thousand meritorious deeds, is infused with spiritual power, and can shine." A student from Lingwu Hall introduced it to Qin Xiaoxian.
"Glow? What are the benefits?" Qin Xiaoxian asked.
"It's still okay to shine a bright light."
"...Where's that hoe?" Qin Xiaoxian asked the spiritual weapon next to him that looked no different from an ordinary hoe.
"Hey, you are worthy of being from Lingcaoyuan. I fell in love with this hoe Lingwu at first sight. Look at the style and shape. It is definitely worth the price of 6000 merit points."
"What about the characteristics?"
"It is a spiritual weapon. Spiritual power can be injected into it."
"What's the effect?"
"After injecting spiritual power, if you have a hard attribute, it will be more durable than an ordinary hoe."
"Beautiful!" Qin Xiaoxian admired sincerely.
"Whether you want to buy it or not." The veteran student said, "Is your own spirit weapon damaged? A large number of students will buy the spirit weapon before the newcomer competition, and the price will rise later."
Qin Xiaoxian looked at the shields and big swords, and they were very expensive.
"Brother, do we have any second-hand spiritual weapons business here?"
While talking, Qin Xiaoxian took out a crystal radish.
The Lingwu Hall student's eyes lit up and he grabbed it and put it in his arms.
"Did you grow it?"
"Ah."
"You're pretty good, boy. I'm telling you, your carrot will definitely sell for a sky-high price. It's no problem if it's within 10,000 merit points."
"What about this spiritual weapon?"
"If you come tomorrow evening, you can buy a batch of second-hand and refurbished Lingwu." The man said in a low voice.
"Because of the rookie competition?"
"Smart, there will be a wave of purchases. Remember, they are all new."
"I understand, I won't talk nonsense."
"I won't admit it even if you say it."
"clear."
That night.
Qin Xiaoxian suddenly woke up, and when he poked his head out of the tent, he saw Carrot Head climbing to the top of the tent, facing the direction of the Spiritual Beast Garden, scratching restlessly with his two front paws.
Dang Dang Dang!
Alarm bells are ringing on the mountain top.
Then one blue and one black, one first and one after, two rays of light pierced the sky.
Then several figures chased from behind.
With a whoosh, a bone whip wrapped around the mountain wall and raised rocks, and a figure also flew out.
Granny Cai also joined the chase.
Qin Xiaoxian looked at the carrot head again, its paws were trembling, its eyes were full of fear, and there was also a hint of excitement.
Is this some kind of rat spirit exploring the Sword Sect at night?
Seeing that it was none of his business, Qin Xiaoxian took out the carrot head and continued to sleep.
During the day the next day, various gossips in the sect were flying all over the place.
"Did you hear that?"
"Last night?"
"correct."
"I heard that the six-stage monster invaded the sect. The three horned chickens and a piglet were eaten by the monster."
"No, no. I heard that the monster in the Spirit Beast Garden advanced in level after eating three chickens and a piglet, and then went berserk."
"Why did I hear that it was the students of the Spiritual Beast Garden who molested the monsters, causing the monsters to go berserk?"
"That's all your nonsense."
"Oh? What's your version?"
"Elder Yao of the Spiritual Beast Garden, you all know that he keeps a monster beast, right?"
"That Si Lili?"
"That's right, that's Si Lili, the big ice-attribute insect. That's actually Elder Yao's bloodline."
"Ah? Ah~"
"It knows its life experience and wants to escape from the sect to find its biological mother."
"Damn, it's so exciting!"
"That's...Hello, Magician Yao!"
At the head of the Spiritual Beast Garden, Magician Yao Ruokun walked through the crowd with a dark face. His legal guards glared at the few students who had just chewed their tongues.
Everyone was as silent as a cicada, stopped talking nonsense, and dispersed.
Qin Xiaoxian walked around in a circle with great interest, listened to the gossip again, and then returned to the Spiritual Beast Garden.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Roland and Xu Haoran gossiping:
"Master Yao's Demonic Beast Division in the Spiritual Beast Garden, as well as the pets raised by the sect master, ran away last night."
"How did you run away?" Xu Haoran became interested.
"I heard from my buddies at the Spiritual Beast Garden that it seems that the iron rat king raised by the sect master has been promoted, and that big insect Si Lili happened to be promoted as well. The two guys broke through the confinement together and escaped."
"Holy shit, are you going to elope?" Qin Xiaoxian also came over to gossip.
"It stands to reason that the confinement in the inner courtyard of the Spirit Beast Garden should be very strong. Even if the two beasts advance to higher levels, they should not be able to break through the magic barrier." Xu Haoran said strangely.
"There is soul energy in that barrier. I was a little curious, so I took advantage of you to steal the chicken and untied it." Bai Kun said.
"Oh, that's it. Huh? Ah!" Qin Xiaoxian was frightened by Bai Huang who suddenly appeared next to him.
Roland and Xu Haoran were baffled.
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm going back first."
Qin Xiaoxian quickly left, and Bai Kong floated beside Qin Xiaoxian, but Roland and Xu Haoran could not see him.
"Brother, please don't do this kind of thing, okay? Why didn't I see you the day you stole the chicken?"
Back at the tent in Carrot Field, Qin Xiaoxian said irritably.
"You were concentrating on stealing the chicken, so I didn't bother you." Bai Kun said matter-of-factly.
"It'll get me into trouble."
"You don't mind stealing chickens and pigs, don't you? Don't tell me, the roasted suckling pig is really good."
"What's going on with those two monsters?"
"There are two monsters with very powerful souls. If they die, they will most likely turn into resentful spirits."
"Did you let it go?"
"No, I just took away the soul power from the barrier. I couldn't open the magical confinement. I guess the two little guys opened it by themselves last night."
"Soul power? Interesting." Qin Xiaoxian murmured.
Bai Kong put the ring on his waist again. Qin Xiaoxian also looked at the time and ran towards the Lingwu Hall of the Internal Affairs Garden.
