Chapter 141 Setting Off for Kunlun Mountain
Chapter 141 Setting Off for Kunlun Mountain
When Ji Qiankun heard that she could speak simply, he was extremely surprised, because she couldn't speak like that last time!
Actually, this is a sign that Bai Mao Mao has grown and become more intelligent after eating that blood pill.
Seeing that Bai Mao Mao hadn't explained clearly, the fox spirit beside her casually added:
"Sir, the master and the others have gone to the orphanage and will be back shortly."
"Oh! You went to the orphanage?"
Ji Qiankun was taken aback upon hearing this, and fell silent for a moment. He felt saddened by Ji Haobo's past experiences, but also gratified that he had not forgotten his original aspirations.
"Waaah...waaah, are you...sad?"
Bai Maomao curiously walked over to Ji Qiankun and tilted her little head.
"Uh, no?"
No sooner had Ji Qiankun finished speaking than Bai Maomao grabbed the bewildered Gray Fourth and shoved it directly at his forehead.
"You're lying, a kiss... will do the trick..."
Seeing the rat's head being brought closer, Ji Qiankun's lips twitched and he quickly dodged away.
"I'm not lying, I'm not lying, I don't need it to kiss me, but you can kiss the white furry thing?"
"No, only kiss the master... White Furry is happy."
Ji Qiankun looked at the white furry child, who was as cute and innocent as a child of a few years old, and couldn't help but reach out to tease him.
Bai Maomao didn't resist Ji Qiankun because his aura was very similar to Ji Haobo's, so he played with him quite affectionately.
Meanwhile, Ji Haobo and the women were at the Sunshine Orphanage, having New Year's Eve dinner with the director and more than thirty children.
The dean's name is Jiang Liyun. She is in her fifties, but looks like she is in her sixties. Her face is weathered by the hardships she has endured.
However, since Ji Haobo came of age, he has taken on a lot of the burden for her, so her mental state is still very good.
Especially seeing that Ji Haobo has become successful, I was extremely happy.
"Haobo, you guys go back first! A few days ago, Mr. Ji came over and asked you to invite him to his home to celebrate the New Year together."
I can tell he's incredibly happy; he's probably waiting for you right now.
"Okay, then we'll head back now."
Ji Haobo smiled, stood up, nodded, and waved to the children.
"Eat slowly, don't be too naughty, and remember to listen to what Grandma Headmistress says. Your older brothers and sisters will come to see you again next time."
Goodbye, big brothers and sisters!
None of these children disliked Ji Haobo. In the months since he returned to China, he would come over every few days whenever he was in Kyoto.
Having been an orphan himself, he knew exactly what the children wanted, so he always brought them various snacks and toys whenever he visited.
After saying goodbye to the dean, everyone returned to the manor. Before even entering the house, they heard Bai Mao Mao's "giggle giggle" laughter.
"Bo...Bo, you're back! White Furry is angry, White Furry is very angry!"
Upon seeing Ji Haobo at the door, the little creature immediately climbed off Ji Qiankun and began grumbling angrily.
"Hehe, White Furry, why are you angry? I heard you laughing!"
Ji Haobo smiled, reached out and picked her up, playfully rubbing her little head.
"Waaaaah, White Furry is angry, she's really angry!"
Ji Bo looked at the little thing struggling in his arms, not understanding what it meant.
"Okay, okay, White Furry is angry. Come give your master a kiss."
Feeling a kiss on his forehead, the white-haired girl immediately smiled and returned the kiss on his face.
"Now that Bai Mao Mao isn't angry anymore, let's go eat."
Ji Haobo nodded to Ji Qiankun. Their relationship was a bit strange; they couldn't bring themselves to address each other as father and son, and they tacitly avoided mentioning it.
After everyone finished eating, they sat down to drink tea and watch TV. Ji Haobo had been invited to the event, but he declined.
After all, he would definitely run into some people he didn't want to see if he went there, and Ji Haobo didn't like that kind of occasion either.
The Lunar New Year holiday flies by in the blink of an eye, and even the Lantern Festival has passed.
Old Hu and the others have been back for a while now. There's a lot to do here, especially since they might be traveling frequently this year, so they need to prepare a lot of the broth for the base sauce.
It wasn't until after the first month of the lunar calendar, in early February, that Ji Haobo prepared to go to Kunlun Mountain.
This time, five people went out, along with Biaozi. Bai Maomao was left at home, and Ji Haobo had to coax her for a long time and make a lot of promises to appease the little one.
In February, heavy snow fell in the Kunlun Mountains, with temperatures dropping to minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Due to the high altitude and thin air, the transport plane only took Ji Haobo and his group to about 4,000 meters on the eastern foothills of the Kunlun Mountains.
There were no outposts left, and they didn't intend to ask the soldiers below for help in guiding them.
Anyway, Lao Hu still remembers that approximate location. Although many years have passed, it's not even a drop in the ocean compared to the vast landscape of mountains and rivers.
"Brother Bo, the place you mentioned, the Dapu Ghost Worm, was in this area."
Looking at the outlines of the surrounding mountains, Lao Hu found them to be roughly similar to the scene in his nightmare.
"Okay! Let's start searching from this area, but be careful, there might be cracks hidden by snow."
As far as the eye could see, everything was covered in white. Ji Haobo walked ahead without leaving a trace in the snow.
Although the cold temperature was not a problem for the group, who had yellow fur coats for warmth inside and versatile tactical suits to keep them warm outside.
But with each step Lao Hu and Fatty Wang took, the snow reached their knees, making it quite difficult for them to walk.
Fortunately, their physical strength has improved a lot compared to before, otherwise they probably would have collapsed from exhaustion after walking for a short while.
Yang Xueli and Laura, on the other hand, rode Biaozi leisurely alongside the group.
"Haobo, are you saying that those Dapu Ghost Worms really can burn a person to ashes if you touch them?"
She didn't know anything about the Dapu Ghost Insect, but she had heard of a firefly-like creature that was basically the same as this. However, Yang Xueli hadn't taken it seriously before, as it was too unbelievable.
"Of course it's true. Legend has it that these insects were summoned from another dimension by the high priest of the Demon Kingdom, and they are usually used to guard tombs."
It comes in two forms: one is the boundless karmic fire, which burns upon contact and can turn a person to ashes in an instant.
The second is the Qiong Shenbing, which can instantly freeze a person into an ice sculpture, which then shatters into powder.
These two forms are relatively easy to deal with, one is afraid of water and the other is afraid of fire.
However, the variants above this level are more troublesome, as they can freely change their form under the influence of mysterious forces.
If you break it, one will turn into two, and two will turn into four.
"hiss…"
After hearing his detailed explanation, Lao Hu and the others couldn't help but gasp in shock.
This thing is absolutely terrifying. It's a tiny flying insect with such exaggerated and deadly abilities. If used for assassination, it would be virtually impossible to defend against.
Not to mention the variants beyond these two forms, those can all be called abnormal species.
"Bo, what do you think we should do if we encounter that alien species that can change shape?"
Lara is amazed by the mysterious power of the East, and all sorts of strange and wonderful things are full of magic and danger.
