"Me? Of course I'm the one who cooked the delicious food, also that lady's hubby." Qing Ling leisurely spoke as he waved the meat stick in his hand. It was actually an iron fork, densely packed with chicken legs, duck wings, and the like. Therefore, it looked like a meat stick right now. The fragrance in the room came from that iron fork. I couldn't help but marvel at the extravagance of Qing Ling roasting so many chicken legs in one go!
"Gulp." Someone swallowed hard. Of course, that person couldn't be me.
Although I love delicious food, I am still a hygienic person. Who would stand at the door of a latrine and swallow their saliva?
Hearing that voice, Qing Ling pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes revealing a trace of enticement: "It's very fragrant, isn't it? Of course, this chicken wing is added with my secret spice, it tastes especially delicious. Do you want to try it? "
He spoke to the wheel, and the spider immediately nodded, its eyes filled with desire. At the same time, its saliva dripped even more, and it seemed ready to pounce at any moment.
"If you want to taste my delicacy, then trade it with a beauty." Qing Ling pointed at me, who was hanging at the door, and said to Jin Lun, "If you let her go, I'll give you these food."
Exchanging delicacies for beauties? That's a good idea.
When I saw the big spider's eyes swivel, I could tell that it was at a loss.
In the end, his appetite gained the upper hand. He said, "Yes, yes, but what if you don't give me any delicacies after I release this beauty?"
Qing Ling said, "Then, how about we hand it over to them in exchange?"
"Hey, who are you calling 'goods'?" I muttered discontentedly.
Qing Ling shook her head and said, "Not only are you a trash, you're also a fool."
"You …" I died at once.
Qing Ling said to Jin Lun, "How about it? Using the delicacies that I made in secret in exchange for a silly beauty, this business is very worth it right? "Hurry up and make up your mind. If the food gets cold, it won't taste good anymore."
Jin Lun was at a loss for a while. Finally, under the temptation of the chicken wings, he finally nodded in agreement.
He pulled me out of the doorway and wrapped his hairy paws around me. Finally, I was able to leave the hut, and I let out a breath of relief.
The spider spirit was a vigilant person. It carefully grabbed me and stretched out its claw to catch Qing Ling's prong. At this moment, Qing Ling suddenly plucked a chicken wing from the fork and threw it towards the golden wheel. "Taste it first!"
Jin Lun raised his hand to receive it as Qing Ling immediately flashed past! He snatched me away, and at the same time, with his other hand, he shoved the skewers full of barbecue into the spider's mouth. "I've already helped you bring your food to your mouth. Are you satisfied now?"
The spider spirit opened its mouth to bite the meat, but there was only a "kacha" sound, as if something had shattered in its mouth. It suddenly let out an angry howl of pain, and spit out everything it ate into its mouth.
"Be careful!"
I cried out in alarm, but it was already too late. Qingling bent down to hug me, and those disgusting things sprayed on his back.
"Let's go!"
Qing Ling picked me up and ran towards the cave entrance. Behind me, the spider spirit was still rolling on the ground, as if the trident had injured it and was currently in great pain.
We ran out of the cave in one breath, returned to the forest with the Imperial Sword Technique, and entered Qing Ling's barrier. After that, we felt slightly more at ease.
Hock Seng is still sleeping, so I asked Qing Ling, "Are we going down the mountain now? Will the monster chase us? "
Qing Ling shook his head. "Don't worry. It shouldn't be coming here for a long time."
Curious, I asked, "Why?"
Qing Ling said, "Jin Lun is afraid of iron, and that iron fork is his nemesis. I just stuck a fork in his throat. Even if he doesn't die, he'll still be in pain for a few days. Right now, he's probably busy trying to find a doctor to cure his throat, so when will he have the time to chase us? "
I'm relieved. However, when he thought about that disgusting spider just now, he still had a lingering fear.
Tsui Ling took off his dirty coat and looked at me. "He actually ran into the cave alone."
I hung my head in silence, not knowing what to say.
Qing Ling then reprimanded me, "Since you left in such a bad mood, why did you come back? I thought you'd gone with your friend. "
When it comes to Wuxie, I feel even worse.
If it wasn't because he didn't trust me, would I have risked my life? Even though he saved me this time, there's no need to be so harsh on me, right?
Feeling wronged, I didn't want to pay any more attention to him. After rushing out of the boundary, I called out, "Hock Seng, let's go!"
But Hock Seng doesn't respond.
I looked back strangely and saw that Hock Seng had disappeared!
"What's going on? "Where's the Blessed One?" I looked at Qing Ling in surprise. Qing Ling glanced around and frowned.
We find that Hock Seng is not inside the Green Feathers.
He anxiously looked around and soon found a piece of fabric from a nearby bush of thorns. It seemed to belong to Hock Seng.
Then we found his weapon under the tree. It was a short, sharp dagger with a few drops of blood on it.
In my heart, I cried out, "Qing Ling, could it be that when you went to save me, Hock Seng met with some mishap here?"
Qing Ling frowned slightly as he looked at the dagger and the material on the cloth. His expression also became heavy.
"Search carefully around here!"
We began a carpet-like search, and at last there was a new clue. I saw that, in the midst of the withered forest, there was a patch of grass with the marks of a fight, and that there was a deep drag mark on the ground, as if someone had fought here and the one who had lost had been dragged backwards by the victor to the end of the grass.
In such wilderness, if Hock Seng were to encounter and fight with a monster, the person among them who was defeated and dragged away would most likely be Hock Seng, right? I thought of the simple and honest young man who had only known me for a day but who had impressed me with his determination, his lack of magic, and his lack of fighting power. I could not help but feel anxious.
"Where did he go?" I was worried.
Qing Ling pointed at the towing imprint and said: "Don't tell me that he was taken in that direction?"
We immediately followed the trail and walked forward, quickly returning to the edge of the cliff. There was no more road ahead, and they were only a few steps away from the cave. The cave entrance was very quiet, as if the spider spirit had not chased them out yet. And then Hock Seng was taken by him?
"How many spiders have you seen in the cave?" Tsui Ling asked me.
I was stunned for a moment before replying, "I only saw one."
Qing Ling said, "The doppelganger from earlier definitely wouldn't have attacked Hock Seng, unless there is another spider here."
My heart thumped. Hock Seng won't be so unlucky, will he?
He didn't return to the previous cave. Instead, he followed the trail on the grass and descended a few meters down the cliff. Suddenly, another cave appeared in front of us.
It was a brand-new cave, one we had never been to before.
