However, Aoki just hooked his lips and didn't answer. He got off the elk's back silently, walked to the campfire, and roasted his rain-soaked clothes.
The guards lit several fires. Although the coir raincoats could withstand the rain, the rain was so heavy last night that their coats were all wet.
Aoki also said that it was not a good place to rest, the ground was full of poisonous herbs, so it was not suitable to rest, so he went through the grass field, walked for a day and a night, and found this place to rest on the spot.
Seeing Aoki's appearance, Zhuang Qingyun thought that Aoki was also feeling bad, so he got off the elk silently and sat by the fire.
Everyone was exhausted, and fell asleep in front of the fire one by one.
Zhuang Qingyun was preoccupied, irritable and uneasy, and when he felt sleepy, he said to the night watch guard: "You go to bed first, and I will keep watch at night."
The night watch guards were already exhausted. Hearing Zhuang Qingyun's words, they held the long knives in their hands and fell asleep leaning against the stone.
Aoki had already sprinkled a circle of medicinal powder on the surrounding area, and sprinkled another handful of medicinal powder on the fire, and there was a strong medicinal smell in the air, as if the boiling stove had been overturned.
Aoki raised his eyes and stared at Zhuang Qingyun: "You don't need to watch the night, these medicines are specially prepared by me, poisonous insects and poisonous things dare not approach, this smell is specially used to deter the poisonous things here."
Zhuang Qingyun: "..."
He suddenly wanted to curse, since he had such a good thing, why didn't he take it out when he first stepped into the forbidden area, and lost the lives of several guards in vain.
Zhuang Qingyun didn't know what to say, looked at Qingmu's indifferent face, thinking that after all he hadn't left the forbidden area, and he had to rely on Qingmu, so he simply shut up.
He was sitting on the stone, leaning on a big knife with both hands, the big knife was standing on the ground, his forehead was on the back of his hands, his heart was stuffy, and he didn't move.
After a while, Aoki, who was sitting on the stone and meditating, opened his eyes and looked around, thinking that Zhuang Qingyun was asleep, so he threw a pill into the fire, and the pill exploded softly in the fire, slightly The sound exploded, and a faint fragrance permeated the air.
The heavy guard who had been sleeping for a long time was already unconscious, but Zhuang Qingyun was not asleep at all, but he was a sensitive one. He paused for a moment and suddenly held his breath. I just felt that the smell was a bit familiar, but when I smelled it again after a while, the smell was gone.
His head was heavy, sleepiness and tiredness invaded like a tide.
Zhuang Qingyun raised his head, only to see that Aoki who was sitting on the stone slab had stood up and was walking along the road with his back facing him holding the flute.
Zhuang Qingyun wanted to stop him, but found that he had already entered the room, and it was difficult for him to even speak.
He bit the tip of his tongue and tasted the blood, and his head regained consciousness bit by bit.
When he regained his strength, Zhuang Qingyun stood up with his arms propped up, and followed Aoki silently. With the help of the moonlight, he saw Aoki standing in the grass from a distance, playing the flute.
The sound of the flute was melodious and slow, it was the Guiyuan song taught to him by the high priest.
Zhuang Qingyun didn't know what Aoki was going to do, why he threw the drug into the fire to stun everyone, let alone what Aoki's purpose was.
Just when Zhuang Qingyun was wondering, he saw a few huge creatures running over from the jungle, obviously beasts from this forbidden area.
It's just that when those beasts came in front of Aoki, not only were they not aggressive at all, they even surrendered in front of Aoki, sticking out their tongues to touch Aoki's palm.
Zhuang Qingyun was dumbfounded!
