As a demon

Chapter 21

"I'll go... to find the way."

Leaving this sentence, Tao Wu disappeared immediately, leaving behind a large amount of smoke effect of sublimation of dry ice.

Chi Yumo counted to 62, the fog had not completely dissipated, and Tao Wu came back into view again.

Meeting Chi Yu's gaze, she put her left hand, which had cleaned the wound not long ago, in the pocket of her trousers. The base of her ear was illuminated red by the backlight, and the outline was wrapped with a layer of velvet-like soft light effect.

"About twenty kilometers there, there is a road." Tao Wu pointed in a direction.

While looking at the map, Chi Yu tried to use the navigation and compass to determine which direction Tao Wu was pointing.

However, Puchanghai is worthy of the name of the place of death, the magnetic field interfered with the compass, and the navigation continued to drop.

They were still about a third of the way from Tianzhu Town, but after crossing the saline-alkali land, there was a large desert, and there were no terrain markers for reference. If they changed their route midway, the probability of getting lost was not low.

"We can go straight through." Tao Wu raised his right hand and set up a pergola in front of his forehead, looking at the seemingly endless salt crust.

"Huh?" Chi Yu raised his leg and stepped on the tire a few times.Without reference to the test subjects, she is not sure whether the tires can withstand the hardness of the salt crust. "I knew I should bring a few spares."

"I mean, like this..." Tao Wu raised his left hand, and when he raised it in mid-air, he suddenly thought of something, glanced at it, then put it down, changed to his right hand, passed the palm of his waist and turned upward, and slowly made a lifting movement.

The car just rose a few centimeters.

Chi Yu: "... oh."

Our beasts are getting more and more promising.

She paused for a few seconds, Tao Wu glanced over slightly, and urged: "You get in...the car."

It was the subtle pause between breaths that made Chi Yu aware that something was wrong.

On the surface, it seems that lifting a marching off-road vehicle weighing several tons seems easy, but the protrusions and depressions of the veins near the inner wrist veins exposed her reluctance.

Power is not infinite power.

"Chi Yuyu?" Tao Wu urged again.

Chi Yu pressed her forearm unexpectedly, the car body shook violently, and Tao Wu subconsciously stretched out his left hand to support her.

At that time, Chi Yu sharply saw a touch of golden red in her palm, which was almost like a small sun.

Tao Wu quickly withdrew his hand and put it back in his pocket.

Chi Yu's eyelids twitched violently, she knew she was right, the moment Tao Wu withdrew his hand, the golden red jumped suddenly.

"What's that?" She asked in a deep voice, pulling out the paw, "What did it touch again?"

"No." Tao Wu raised his fingers scratched by the salt shell one by one. The recovery ability of the divine beast is really strong, and there is no abnormality at all.

But Chi Yu remembered her stunt of turning allergy-like symptoms from her left hand to her right hand, and grabbed the other hand involuntarily.

Tao Wu obediently spread out his right hand, cleanly, "Really not."

His eyes turned unconsciously to the left.

This kind of deceitful deception and wanting to cover up the truth deepened Chi Yu's suspicion, and he grabbed his left hand again, "Will you show it to me?"

Tao Wu couldn't say no to it, he only expressed his resistance with actions.

Chi Yu clenched his left hand into a fist, parted his middle finger, and then curled his index finger, as if he was hiding something great in his hand and he didn't want to show it.

The whack-a-mole game entered the third round. Tao Wu once again bent his index finger and raised his middle finger. Chi Yu's upper teeth touched the lower teeth, and he said coldly, "You're scolding me."

Tao Wu was surprised: "No."

"The middle finger is a curse, Tao Wuwu." Chi Yu pinched the first knuckle and curled it back for her, expressing that he was tired of playing whack-a-mole, "Don't stretch your claws on things you shouldn't touch."

"En." Tao Wu touched the back of her neck to calm her turbulent thoughts, "It's time to go, it will be dark for a while and it will be difficult to recognize the way."

Tried to lift the car again.

Chi Yu interrupted her again, "Don't waste your energy, just drive there."

Tao Wu insisted: "The salt crust is only two kilometers away, so I think I can try it."

"I don't think so!" Chi Yu said in a blunt tone, "There are ruts here, and there are ruts after passing the salt crust. You are a fool as a human being, can't you see that the car in the middle has wings and flies?"

Chi Yu knew that he was making excuses.

Tao Wu could also see it.

"Why?" She asked distressedly, "I can understand that there are too many people in the supermarket. The desert is so big, the ruts will be covered with sand and dust when the wind blows overnight, and there are no traces. Why can't it work? I didn't do anything bad. .”

……why?

Chi Yu couldn't figure it out either.

It wouldn't be worrying that Tao Wu, who hadn't replenished his spiritual power for many days, was tired.

Is she so considerate to a divine beast who only hides things from her?

Certainly not.

She just naturally accepted the statement that the beasts cannot appear in public, and she paid more attention to protecting privacy than the parties involved.

Looking back on the journey, Tao Wu was able to save her countless troubles with his natural skills several times, but Chi Yu changed his plan several times in consideration of exposure.

She seems to have locked herself into a castle of horns called "Murphy's Law": If there is a chance that things will go wrong, no matter how small the possibility, it will always happen.

Once it happens, it is very likely to lead to the most serious consequences.

So Tao Wu is not in a hurry, Xiaochi is always in a hurry.

Tao Wu rarely showed his stubborn side, standing still.

Chi Yu sighed inwardly, and thought of a compromise, "Why don't you dig a hole to hide the car, and then take me on the road lightly?"

Tao Wu's eyes lit up, "Sure."

But Chi Yu then prevented her from returning to the original shape of the great beast and insisted on walking.

Tao Wu had no choice but to pave a cotton road made of mist.

Walking through the salt crust, the night fell instantly.

Noticing that Chi Yu's speed was slowing down, Tao Wu also slowed down.The two stopped one after another on the moon-facing side of a sand dune.

I don't know if it was influenced by Chi Yicheng's statement, but Chi Yu always feels that she has become more and more powerless recently, and the monotony of the desert lacking other colors makes her unable to lift her spirits.

Rubbing her sore calf, Chi Yu inexplicably remembered the person and thing with spiritual power that Tao Wu pointed out to her in the waiting hall of Haicheng Station——

The Jingchu man in blue wearing the snake slough amulet; a young father who was born deaf; a French fries boy who loves white tigers;

"What's the use of snake slough?" Chi Yu asked.

"Save from blood and light." Tao Wu responded eloquently.

"Can Asparagus Cure Deafness?"

"Yes."

"Bai Hu gives someone a hair, can he really keep him upright and fair all his life?"

"real."

"Then if it goes too far, what if it breaks?"

"Hmm." Tao Wu thought for a while, and said seriously, "Baihu should have told him in a dream to bend properly and learn how to save the country."

Chi Yu laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, leaned limply on her shoulder, and asked again: "What is the function of the fat relic bird's tail feathers?"

The fat relict bird's tail feathers were brought by An Zhaojun.

"Repelling insects and avoiding poison, epidemic evil will not arise, and all diseases will disappear."

"No wonder."

Leaving aside the deal with Chi Yicheng, An Zhaojun's vitality is very close to her ideal state: young and vigorous, in the prime of life—everyone she is willing to get close to can receive her infinite positive Energy, infected by her sunshine and cheerfulness.

It seems that even at the age of 80, this person is still full of vitality.

"That's great." Chi Yu slowly stopped laughing.

Tao Wu turned his head, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Chi Yu rubbed her ears, and asked after a while, "Is there any panacea that will allow me to take it or carry it with me to keep me healthy, and I can run long-distance marathons?"

She supported Tao Wu's shoulders and stood up, kicking her lead-filled calf sullenly.

Strange to say, it is true that she walked on the mist brought by the divine beast through the salt crust.But after a few kilometers, the two legs might as well be amputated. In addition to numbness, there is endless pain.

"I told you I'll carry you on my back, you must go by yourself." Tao Wu unpacked his bag and put it on the ground, bent down with his back to her, "Come on."

"I'm not disabled." As Chi Yu said, he still leaned over and clasped his hands in front of her chest, staring at her left hand.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Tao Wu clenched his fists and picked up the bag in an awkward posture.

She still remembered to hide the palm of her left hand.

Chi Yu pursed his lips, his legs were released, and he couldn't stop talking.

She blew into Tao Wu's ear and asked, "What's going on in your hand?"

"No...it's nothing." The moonlight was clear, and the ears in front of him were red at a glance, so Tao Wu simply hid his hands behind the bag, "It's not pretty."

"Look."

"Want to see."

"Tao Wuwu, show me..."

Extreme or unfamiliar environments will cause a person to have a large difference in temperament in a short period of time, Chi Yushen thinks so.

A part of his consciousness looked at himself who was making unreasonable quarrels like a child, and sneered.But only a small part, and quickly overwhelmed by the dominant consciousness.

——It doesn't matter, there is no one else around anyway.

Just as this thought flashed through my mind, I suddenly heard Tao Wu say, "It's almost here."

"... so fast?" Chi Yu raised his head, but he couldn't see where he was.

She patted Tao Wu on the shoulder, "Let me down."

Tao Wu didn't let her go immediately, and walked a little further.

Surrounded by unchanging sand, there is no point of reference.Chi Yu had no way of knowing that this section was equivalent to driving for 10 minutes.

A sand dune that was obviously higher than the current terrain appeared ahead, and Tao Wu raised his jaw, "After passing the sand dune, we will be there."

Chi Yu compared the digital map and found that Tao Wu's saying that it was coming soon was not avoiding the truth but changing the subject.

Under the five fonts with luminous special effects of "Tianzhu Town Base", there are indeed contour lines indicating.

Climbing up the sand dunes, sparse withered grass and tree roots appeared on the ground. Tao Wu carefully avoided it, found a flat place, and set down the pond to fish.

The sky was about to break, and the scenery changed suddenly.

The sand and mist filled the air, and the towering Yadan, which was as steep as a cut, was looming.A large area of ​​saline is deposited in the depression, which is the dazzling white between the yellow sand and the red stone.

And beside a huge rock that looked like an old man with a beard, Chi Yu saw a dark cylindrical building that looked like a wind-eroded landform.

She checked the map carefully.

That's right.

The Tianyou marker includes these artifacts overlooking pillared rocks.

In Puchang Sea, there are not a few such pillar rocks.The difference is that the building is darker than the surrounding dark brown rocks.

"That's it?" Chi Yu frowned unconsciously, it was much faster than she expected.

"Hmm." Tao Wu took out the spray from his bag and handed it to Chi Yu. With a flick of his right hand, he conjured up a big parasol out of thin air and stuck it into the sand.

The handle of the umbrella should be at least one meter into the ground, spreading the shadow firmly.

Chi Yu held up the spray and sprayed it on his face and neck a few times, then turned to point at Tao Wu, and pressed the button when she was not prepared.

Tao Wu raised his arm to block the mist, and said, "Okay, okay."

Chi Yu didn't let go, and sprayed half the can in one breath, "Be honest, what is hiding in the claws?"

The secret that Tao Wu held in her hands made her scratch her heart and lungs all the way: the little mythical beast that used to expose its belly for her to scratch, now hides it from her.

This feels like shit.

"Someone..." Tao Wu stretched out his hand to try to take back the spray, Qiqi Ai said, "Someone is here."

Chi Yu was unmoved, "Chi Yicheng has to stand aside when he comes."

Having said that, I subconsciously looked in the direction of the cylindrical building.

no one.

Or the person hasn't gone where she can see it.

Tao Wu took away the spray bottle, turned his back and sprayed fiercely on his left hand, "It's not good-looking, I don't want you to see it."

"What else..."

In the middle of Chi Yu's conversation, he stopped abruptly.

She saw it.

In the palm of Tao Wu was a cluster of flames swaying in the wind—the light yellow outer flame surrounded the inner layer that was as bright as a golden wheel, and there was a dark purple flame heart that was close to black in the center.

"It was born when you ate me, and it can't be extinguished. It was almost extinguished just now, you blow my ears..." The voice sounded like it was about to cry, "It was born again."

Chi Yugui approached and touched the flame by accident, but Tao Wu didn't stop her.

Because although that thing looks like a burning fire, it does have a certain temperature, but it is not hot.

"It's... amazing." Chi Yu murmured.

The flame deformed accordingly as she fiddled with it and the surrounding airflow changed.

Physicists would go crazy.she said in her heart.

At this moment, Tao Wu suddenly turned over his hand and covered the back of her hand in his palm.

The fake flame swallowed the real tongue, licking the back of her hand once and for all.

When a faltering figure came into view, Chi Yu's stagnant thoughts began to flow without a trace.

——There are people in Tianzhu Town.

—is it a person?

The figure drew closer, wrapped from head to toe in a thick white spacesuit - what looked like a spacesuit - and a helmet with a transparent face.

With the light behind her, she couldn't see her face clearly.

—Astronaut?Or aliens?

——Someone reached Tianzhu Town before them.

——Tianyou Town has not been abandoned...?

"Is it always Xiaochi?" The man turned his hands back with difficulty, and took off the helmet with great effort, revealing a middle-aged woman's face, "Director An said that you might be arriving soon, let us pay attention to it. You are quite fast."

The author has something to say: fire is...
