Chapter 242: Circling Around
As the two of them spoke, they suddenly ran to the side and left Li Yuanqing alone.
The Fire Spirit King looked at Turkey impatiently and complained, “What are you doing here? It’s already a capital crime for this person to dare to barge in here. Why are you still on good terms with him?”
Turkey glared at him angrily and said, “You don’t have any clues at all. There’s someone who saw the person who left with his own eyes. It’s our chance. Why don’t you know what’s good for you?”
“If we chase after him now, we can still chase that guy back. If we continue to pester him here, I’m afraid he will have already disappeared and left us far behind. When the higher-ups pursue this matter, can you bear the responsibility?”
Turkey’s flat nose blew out a stream of smoke.
“That’s quite a beautiful thing to say, but do you know where he went? You can’t even find his traces now. You only know how to spout nonsense here. In my opinion, you might as well find him yourself.”
As Turkey spoke, he planned to leave. The two of them looked like they were splitting up.
Although Turkey’s words were a little rash, they were not unreasonable. They did not have any direction yet. If they rashly searched like this, they would be like headless flies. Despite the fact that the Fire Spirit King looked extremely angry just now, he still knew what was going on after calming down. He knew that with the current situation, Turkey was still clear-minded. If they followed his method, the two of them would probably never find it in their lives.
“Come back! I’ll consider you’re right, okay?”
Turkey looked at him proudly and said, “I told you long ago. Listen to my arrangements obediently and nothing will happen. Why do you have to cause trouble here?”
“Then what do you think we should do if this person is so stubborn and refuses to speak?” The Fire Spirit King made a beheading gesture and whispered to him, “In my opinion, if this guy doesn’t speak later, we’ll kill this kid and take out his soul. He definitely won’t be able to withstand this pain.”
Turkey glared at him angrily and said, “Why are the methods you came up with becoming more and more stupid? We still have use for him now. If we rashly kill this person and his soul is damaged, where will we find the person who escaped?”
“Since you don’t have a way, why did you call me here?”
“Who said I don’t have a way? Listen carefully.”
Turkey and the Fire Spirit King gathered together and whispered to each other for a long time.
After a long time, the Fire Spirit King suddenly raised his head and glared at him. “How can I do that? I won’t give this kid any treasures for no reason.”
Turkey looked up in Li Yuanqing’s direction. Seeing that Li Yuanqing did not seem to have heard the conversation between the two of them, he finally felt relieved. “Why are you being so noisy? We just want to ask where that person went. At that time, isn’t this kid’s life still in your hands? Why are you so anxious?”
“I see. Brother Turkey, you actually have such plans. I was careless.”
After carefully calculating and finally discussing it, they finally walked towards Li Yuanqing casually.
Li Yuanqing still looked like he did not want to cooperate. He glared at the two of them and said, “I’ve already made myself clear to you. Don’t think about those useless things. I won’t fall for your tricks!”
Turkey smiled and walked up to Li Yuanqing. He looked kind and said with a smile, “Brother, I’ve offended you just now. However, I thought that there was still something we could discuss between us.”
“Don’t lie to me. You said that you wanted to get me something, but in the end, you couldn’t take anything out. You’re just pretending.”
The Fire Spirit King stood at the side and looked at him with an unfriendly expression. “Little brother, you can go out and ask around about our reputation. As long as the two of us agree, we will definitely not go back on our word for no reason. Just relax.”
Li Yuanqing still looked at the two of them skeptically and muttered, “In any case, if the things you take don’t satisfy me, I won’t say a word.”
Turkey went forward and took out a small pair of wings. These wings looked very pocket-sized. It was unknown what use they had.
“Brother, look.”
Li Yuanqing looked at him in confusion and asked, “Why? Are you trying to send me away with this thing? I don’t think you can spend much on spirit stones to buy a pair elsewhere.”
Turkey’s smiling face suddenly froze. He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and raised his smile again.
“Brother, you can’t not recognize it. My Divine Wind Wings are a high-grade Dharma artifact.” He excitedly introduced the thing in his hand. “As long as you wear my wings, not to mention anything else, the spiritual energy consumed when you walk or fly is thirty percent less than before.”
Li Yuanqing took the little thing and sized up the palm-sized wings. “This thing actually so mysterious?”
“I refined this meticulously and spent a lot of effort. If not for the fact that it’s boring here, who would have the time to refine such a troublesome thing?”
Li Yuanqing’s huge bull head nodded slightly, looking very satisfied. “If this thing is really as mysterious as you say, it can be considered a treasure.”
“Of course it’s a treasure. I treat it as a treasure. If not for the fact that I need your help today, I wouldn’t have taken it out.”
Seeing how sincere Turkey was, Li Yuanqing generously put away this little thing. He even nodded repeatedly and said, “I’ve long seen that you’re not a petty person. There was indeed a misunderstanding just now. If you two are really guards stationed here, then I was indeed a little rash just now.”
“Brother Bull, you don’t have to blame yourself. I’m more responsible for such a conflict.”
“It’s fine, but…”
Li Yuanqing looked at the Fire Spirit King. The Fire Spirit King was hiding behind, thinking that he could silently avoid the calamity. However, Li Yuanqing had already set his gaze on him.
The Fire Spirit King cursed in his heart. He cursed Li Yuanqing for being so greedy. He would definitely tear this person into pieces later. However, he was still very obedient. He obediently walked up to Li Yuanqing and took out a small wooden box.
Li Yuanqing looked at him proudly and took the small wooden box. He placed it on his hand and slowly opened it.
Inside was a pill burning with flames. The pill was lying quietly in the box. However, as soon as the small box was opened, a hot aura immediately a.s.saulted their faces. The terrifying temperature inside burned their faces.
Li Yuanqing was slightly speechless as he felt the pure fire essence energy inside. He did not expect these two fellows to be so willing to spend so much money. They could even take out such a precious thing. It seemed like they really did not want to let him go. However, the two of them were too naive to want him to stay.
After Li Yuanqing accepted the items, he looked at Turkey in satisfaction and smiled more.
“I knew it. Brother, you look quite like an old friend of mine. On closer look, we really hit it off at first sight. If my old friend was still alive, the two of you would be able to become very good friends.” He said regretfully.
The two of them did not care about this nonsense and went straight to the point. “Brother, you said that you saw a suspicious person not far away. I wonder if you can bring us over to take a look?”
Li Yuanqing patted his chest very generously and said, “That’s easy. Since the two of you have taken out such precious treasures, I’ll naturally send you all the way. I’ll personally lead the two of you to find it. If you can’t find it, blame it on me!”
“That’s for the best. Let’s set off now.”
“Please follow me.”
As Li Yuanqing spoke, he used his skills and flew in the direction he came from with the two of them.
Although the three of them had their own ulterior motives, they temporarily formed an alliance and settled down to travel in peace.
Li Yuanqing and Turkey chatted happily along the way.
“I wonder who that person is. He must be a ruthless person to be able to make the two of you, such heroes, waste so many years and guard this place.”
Turkey was not interested in telling Li Yuanqing these stories. However, at least he still had what he wanted, so he said a few more words.
“Those guys were all remnants of the former human race. They were gathered and sealed here by our demon ancestors.”
“In that case, that seal was set up by a former mighty figure of the demon race?”
Turkey shook its head and replied, “Not really. It’s just that after these humans were forced here, they activated such an array formation and sealed themselves inside, turning them into turtle sh.e.l.ls. They’ve been hiding here for more than a thousand years.”
“Since it’s been more than a thousand years, these people should have all died. It’s strange that they can still escape now.”
Turkey said to Li Yuanqing mysteriously, “Although these humans are like soft gra.s.shoppers now, a thousand years ago, these humans still had some methods. If not for us ancient mighty figures using some methods, it’s hard to say who this place belongs to now.”
“In that case, it’s really a soul-stirring past.”
“The person inside is extremely dangerous. If he escapes outside, he will probably cause trouble. Therefore, we have to trap him here no matter what.”
The three of them advanced as they spoke. They were hundreds of miles away, but Li Yuanqing still did not stop.
At this moment, the Fire Spirit King was already impatient. He landed angrily on a mountain below.
“Brother, what’s wrong? Are you a little anxious?” Li Yuanqing also landed here and asked him.
The Fire Spirit King snorted coldly and said to Li Yuanqing, “What are you doing? You’re leading us brothers around here, but we don’t see anyone. We asked you to help us find someone, not to circle around here. Do you know where he is?”
As the Fire Spirit King spoke, the flames on his body vaguely burned, as if the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
At the side, Turkey did not stop the fight. He watched as the fellow strolled around for a long time and felt depressed. They had already run hundreds of miles. Didn’t this guy say that it was right beside the place? Why did they have to come so far again?
“Do you mean that you don’t believe me?”
“Brother, you’ve accepted all the benefits from the two of us. Do you think the two of us will let you off without an explanation?”
The Fire Spirit King’s words were filled with threat. He even took out his pair of axes and placed them in front of Li Yuanqing. It seemed like he planned to attack immediately if there was a disagreement.
Li Yuanqing looked around and suddenly laughed to himself, making people puzzled.
“What are you laughing at, kid? If you still can’t find your way, this place will be your burial ground. When we brothers were wandering the martial world, you were still in your mother’s womb!”
The two of them surrounded Li Yuanqing in the middle. This negotiation seemed to have completely collapsed. Their temporary team could not continue.
Although Li Yuanqing, who had transformed into the bull, was surrounded in the middle, he did not panic. Instead, he was abnormally relaxed and even laughed proudly.
“What are you laughing at? Why are you laughing so happily now? I’ll make your life a living h.e.l.l later!” The Fire Spirit King saw that negotiation was useless and said to Turkey standing behind him, “What are you waiting for? I told you long ago that this guy is definitely unreliable, but you didn’t believe me. Hurry up and deal with him!”
A red spear appeared in Turkey’s hand. The tip of the spear was like a burning flame. It was so dazzling.
“Brother, if you don’t say it, the weapons in our hands won’t have any mercy!”
“Hahaha!”
Li Yuanqing, who was sandwiched in the middle, seemed to have gone crazy and started laughing. The two of them did not know what this fellow was laughing about, but his laughter was so happy that it made them very puzzled.
However, at this moment, Li Yuanqing’s body suddenly twisted violently. His originally normal body was actually expanding.
