Chapter 173 - 164: Riddle of the Mysterious Guoshi Confounding Minds 2
Xie Lian's first reaction was to reach for Fang Xin and strike. Good thing he had good habits, and before he struck he swept a glance, forcing himself to brake in mid action, "General Pei?"
That man flipped over and leapt to his feet. It was Pei Ming. He dusted off his shoulders, looking amazingly at ease, and glanced at them, "Looks like Your Highness and My Lord Ghost King are enjoying yourselves here."
"Not too bad, not too bad." Xie Lian said, "But General Pei, are you alright? I seemed to have heard a cracking sound..."
"Oh, it's nothing." Pei Ming said, "Thanks for Your Highness' concern. That cracking sound wasn't my bones but the bones of this one." He raised an object, and it was the femur of that unlucky man, the bones already bent and broken. He added, "Thank goodness for this good brother's help that Pei Ming was able to dig out an escape route in this mountain spirit's body. Even though it's the bone of a man, it's still a fairly solid good man."
Just as he finished, from not far away, a second figure dropped from the sky, falling down and landing heavily. The group of them walked over to see, and this time it was Pei Su. In the curve of his arms was Ban Yue being shielded, and Ban Yue's arms were holding those two black clay pots that contained Ke Mo and Rong Guang. The two of them were ashen faced and disheveled but there didn't seem to be anything serious, and they quickly crawled up. Pei Su spat out a few mouthfuls of dust, "Gen, eral! Your highness."
Pei Ming glanced up, "Looks like this mountain spirit doesn't think we're tasty enough, and spat us out."
Hua Cheng and Xie Lian exchanged a look and said quietly, "Not necessarily. Perhaps, someone told it to spat you out."
Pei Ming took a few steps and noticed the abnormal ground shaking, and he furrowed his brows, "What's with this mountain? Why is it shaking to hard?"
"Because it's currently carrying us and running towards the Kiln." Xie Lian replied.
Pei Ming walked to that hole Yin Yu dug and looked outside, "So fast! That'll help save us some footwork."
However, until now, there was still another person missing. Xie Lian asked, "Where's Ling Wen?"
