Chapter 357

Chapter 357: You Also Know Yu Zhao?
Before entering the Desert of Lost Souls, Hua Tu had never imagined that the desert environment would be so harsh.

The drought, the high heat, and the sandstorms that could appear at any time tortured the Flower Leopard Beast, who had lived in deep forests and mountains all his life, until he felt half dead.

It was at this moment that Si Tu Xuan appeared.

Sensing that Si Tu Xuan was about to leave, a sudden surge of strength rose up inside Hua Tu, who had been lying on the burning hot sand.

He suddenly leaped up, and with a few jumps he appeared in front of Si Tu Xuan. His eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Si Tu Xuan reached back with his right hand and drew a long spear, staring at him with full alertness.

The visitor clearly did not come with good intentions.

“You…”

Before he could finish speaking, Hua Tu took a big step forward.

The spear in Si Tu Xuan’s hand trembled. From a tricky angle, he thrust it up from below toward Hua Tu.

Hua Tu did not dodge. Instead, he shot out his hand like lightning.

The spear ended up caught firmly in his grip.

Si Tu Xuan’s face filled with shock.

With a strong pull of the spear, Hua Tu dragged Si Tu Xuan forward a few stumbling steps.

Then Si Tu Xuan felt a black shadow swipe past his eyes.

He looked down.

His robe had come open. The Cooling Pearl and Ganlin Stone he had been carrying against his chest were both gone.

“Ah, this feels so good…”

Hua Tu pressed his face against the Cooling Pearl and rubbed it back and forth. With his other hand, he held up the Ganlin Stone. When drops of water seeped out from it, he stuck out his tongue and quickly rolled them into his mouth.

Cold water entered his stomach, and he let out a purring sound. Then he happily rolled back and forth in the sand, making it so embarrassing that people could hardly bear to watch.

The corner of Si Tu Xuan’s eye twitched, but inside he let out a breath of relief.

This strange fellow looked odd, but he did not seem to mean him any harm.

Either way, it was best to leave as soon as possible.

Holding his breath, he slowly edged to the side, step by careful step.

The other party did not stop him and did not even give him a second look.

Si Tu Xuan sped up his pace and soon left him far behind.

Si Tu Xuan treated Hua Tu as just an accident on the road. After it was handled, he put it out of his mind.

Who knew that less than half a day later, the same person appeared again within his senses, and this time was getting closer and closer.

Si Tu Xuan tensed up once more.

Luckily, the other party only glanced at him, then flashed past his side without slowing down at all.

Si Tu Xuan finally relaxed.

Another day passed.

Si Tu Xuan saw Hua Tu for the third time.

Compared to the first two meetings, he was clearly much calmer this time, and the guard on his face was not as obvious.

Hua Tu, on the other hand, stood in place without moving, no one knew what he was thinking.

But just as Si Tu Xuan was about to catch up to him, Hua Tu suddenly sprinted forward again, leaving a trail of dust behind.

Watching his back, Si Tu Xuan had a feeling in his heart.

This definitely would not be their last meeting.

After that, they had a fourth, a fifth, even a sixth encounter.

By now, every time Si Tu Xuan saw Hua Tu, he could remain calm as still water.

“You also know Yu Zhao?”

Just when Si Tu Xuan thought Hua Tu would once again move on before he reached him, Hua Tu, who had stayed in place this time, suddenly threw this question at him.

Si Tu Xuan was shocked.

He had never dealt with this person before, so why did the fellow suddenly bring up Yu Zhao’s name?

Could it be that he had also been called to the Desert of Lost Souls by Yu Zhao?

“Who are you?”

“So you really do know Yu Zhao.” Hua Tu grinned. “I am Hua Tu. I came here to look for Yu Zhao.”

Hearing this, Si Tu Xuan believed him about fifty or sixty percent.

Still, out of caution, he asked another question: “Why did you stand still so many times, not moving at all?”

Hua Tu scratched his head. “I was distinguishing Yu Zhao’s scent.”

He had spent some time with Yu Zhao and had already carved her scent deep into his memory.

Not long after he entered the Desert of Lost Souls, he smelled Yu Zhao’s scent.

But the desert covered a huge area, and the wind and sand were moving all the time. It was very hard to tell which direction the scent came from. So Hua Tu had to stop every so often to carefully tell the difference.

As for how he guessed that Si Tu Xuan knew Yu Zhao, it was because Si Tu Xuan had a clear goal, unlike someone out here for tempering. He looked more like someone who had come to find a person, so Hua Tu decided to try his luck.

Ancestral Patriarch was right. Handsome leopards always have good luck.

“Scent?”

Si Tu Xuan found this unbelievable.

Had he not discussed anything with Yu Zhao before coming? Why would he choose such a slow and tiring method?

Still, when he remembered that Hua Tu had almost died of thirst in the desert, Si Tu Xuan felt it was not completely impossible to understand.

“I know where they are. Come with me.”

“Okay!”

Hua Tu agreed happily.

But soon he found Si Tu Xuan’s speed too slow. He even wanted to drag Si Tu Xuan along. This was firmly rejected by Si Tu Xuan, whose pride was very strong, so Hua Tu could only rush along the road in a sulky mood.

On the other side.

Yu Zhao’s group, who were deeply stuck in trouble, still had not thought of a way to escape.

As time slipped away bit by bit, Yu Zhao could no longer sit still.

“If everyone still cannot come up with a proper plan today, I will have to use my method.”

Shao Yi Man frowned tightly: “Fellow Daoist Yu, you are gambling with everyone’s safety.”

“I have important matters to deal with. I cannot delay.”

Yu Zhao’s attitude was unexpectedly firm.

Just now, she had noticed that Bai Ran’s body was getting hot, and the temperature was not low.

Snakes were cold blooded demonic beasts.

A sudden rise in body temperature was definitely not normal.

Yu Zhao knew she could not keep sitting here waiting for death.

“Fellow Daoist Si Tu, do you also agree with Yu Zhao’s idea?”

In her anger, Shao Yi Man did not even call her “Fellow Daoist” anymore and called Yu Zhao by her full name.

Si Tu Jian Nan, caught in the middle, felt very torn.

Ji Han Zhou raised a brow and was just about to speak when Long Fei Fei slapped her palm on the stone bricks with a crack and sprang to her feet.

“Smashing the wall is not only Yu Zhao’s idea, it is also my family’s Ancestor’s idea. If you do not agree, then think of a plan yourself. If you cannot think of one, then stop talking so much.”

Shao Yi Man shouted in anger: “Bold! How dare a little thief speak to me like that!”

Long Fei Fei’s face was full of scorn. “I even stole your family heirloom. So what if I scold you a few times?”

With one sentence she successfully set off the anger of the three members of the Shao Clan.

They had already been holding a grudge over that matter, and Long Fei Fei was even adding fuel to the fire. They all flew into a rage.

Shao Yi Chuan was closest to Long Fei Fei. Without thinking, he leaped forward and punched straight at Long Fei Fei’s face.

As his fist swung out, it let out a sharp whistle.

A strange light flashed in Long Fei Fei’s eyes.

“With that bit of three legged cat skill, you still want to catch this young miss? Maybe in your next life.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure faded like a ghost and vanished from where she had been standing.

Shao Yi Chuan’s punch hit nothing but air. His Divine Sense spread out in all directions, but he could not find Long Fei Fei’s figure.

He roared: “Long Fei Fei, come out here! What kind of skill is hiding your head and showing your tail?”

“Bleh, bleh, bleh, if you have the ability then come catch me!”

Long Fei Fei’s voice suddenly sounded from behind Shao Yi Chuan.

He turned his head and saw that Long Fei Fei was actually less than an arm’s length away.

Without thinking, he slammed his elbow toward her like a blade, but once again struck only empty air.

“Idiot! I am over here!”

Shao Yi Chuan raised his head.

Somehow, Long Fei Fei had run to Yu Zhao’s side and was even making faces at him.

Shao Yi Chuan gnashed his teeth in fury. With a loud shout, he pounced at Long Fei Fei again.

“Stop!”
