Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Longhua State, Houzhuang.

The two teams led by Duyan were slowly approaching the territory of Houzhuang.

They lay in the bushes outside, quietly observing the movements inside Houzhuang.

"According to Master Lu, there are at least dozens of hairy apes in the Foundation Establishment stage here," One-Eyed Man hissed. "Two teams advance side by side, and don't make any noise."

With a gesture from the one-eyed man, the two teams attacked from both sides and slowly advanced towards Houzhuang.

Green Bean followed One-Eye, while Mushroom Soup and Pickled Fish were in another team.

goo...

A rumble of hunger was heard.

The one-eyed man turned his head and poked String Bean's abdomen viciously, causing him to cover his stomach and half squat down in pain.

But now he was carrying out a survey mission and he didn't dare to shout out loud.

"When I go back, I must prepare more food for my little sister." Sijidou thought to himself.

He glanced at the other team not far away, and Kimchi Fish and Mushroom Soup gave him worried looks.

String Bean gestured to indicate that the two did not need to worry.

Mushroom Soup breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but Pickled Fish was still biting his lips in reluctance.

The two teams continued to advance deep into Houzhuang.

However, surprisingly, there was no sign that anyone had ever lived in any of the houses.

The one-eyed man was very puzzled.

Both teams were equipped with cold weapons, but they didn't see a single monster.

"Could it be that this is all Mr. Lu's hallucination?"

The one-eyed man felt panic in his heart.

He casually walked into a house, which contained only a cold stove and a tattered wooden chair.

"General, we've checked everywhere outside, and there's really no one there."

"General, there's nothing in the east either."

"General, no signs of life have been found in the northernmost part."

The soldiers outside the door came to report one after another, and everyone's eyes were filled with horror.

The one-eyed boy reached out and scraped off the thick dust on the bed with his fingertips, then put it under his eyes to examine it carefully.

"Such a big village, but there's not a single living thing..."

"Just judging by the dust in this house, it seems no one has lived in it for at least several years."

The one-eyed man narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered the soldier beside him: "You go back and report to the commander first, and the rest of you wait here for the main force to arrive."

"Yes, General."

Sijidou was standing outside the door, and when he heard One-Eye's judgment, he was also surprised.

Could it be that Master Lu really lied about military intelligence?

But if it wasn't true, why would he make up such an obvious lie?

French Bean fell into deep thought.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Go outside the village and take another look to make sure there is nothing missed!" The soldier who came out of the house pointed at the green beans and said.

"Ah... yes, yes," String Bean responded quickly, "I'll go check it out right away."

Green Bean quickly spread out his hooves and ran out of the village.

There was nothing outside Houzhuang except for a wooden fence forming a circle.

"What else is there to check?"

Green Bean cursed as he circled the fence, going from the front to the back but not noticing anything unusual.

He stood behind Houzhuang. There were no other officers or soldiers investigating here, so he was the only one left.

"I wonder if my little sister was bullied in the kitchen," said String Bean, sitting down by the wooden fence. "It would be great if the fight could end sooner."

Green Bean stretched out his palm and looked at the sun in the sky, his thoughts flying back to his hometown.

"I miss my mother."

No one can endure being vigilant for so many days.

The breeze tickled his face, and String Bean lay down in a comfortable position, closing his eyes vaguely.

hiss……

Green Bean didn't notice that a tiny, bulging, blood-red reptile was wriggling and climbing up his arm with great effort.

The bloodworm opened its teeth ferociously and bit through Green Bean's skin, then slowly drilled into his flesh.

"Well……"

Jingdou looked uncomfortable, and the touch from his arm made him feel a little swollen and painful.

In less than half an incense stick of time, the bloodworm's body had completely penetrated his arm, and the original broken wound was slowly healing.

"Brother Shi, Brother Shi!——"

Hearing someone calling him, String Bean slowly opened his eyes.

The people in front of me are none other than kimchi fish and mushroom soup.

Mushroom Soup grabbed Green Bean's shoulder and asked, "Brother, why are you lying here? Get up quickly, don't let those sons of bitches find you."

String Bean stood up with the help of the two people and said with a simple smile: "I was just a little sleepy and fell asleep without paying attention."

Mushroom Soup sighed and let go, then patted Green Bean on the back to brush off the dust on his body.

"Brother Shi, your left sleeve is torn." Pao Caiyu frowned.

"Ah...it's okay, it's okay. It probably got scratched when I was sleeping," Sijidou said with a distressed look. "It's nothing serious. Just sew it up."

"Let's go back quickly and don't keep the general waiting."

After Mushroom Soup finished speaking, the three of them hurried to meet up with One-Eye.

Southern Expedition Army, rear kitchen.

After listening to Garlic Sauce's confession, Lu Yuguan frowned and kept muttering to himself.

"So, it was His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince who abandoned you, and then my eldest brother took you in?" Lu Yuguan asked.

"You are right, sir. That is exactly the case..."

Taking advantage of the time when no one was around, Garlic Sauce secretly cried again, which made Lu Yuguan feel a little sorry.

"Then why do you come to the kitchen to do odd jobs? Didn't my elder brother tell you to stay in the infantry battalion first?" Lu Yuguan asked in confusion.

"You don't know, sir. Although we stayed in the camp, we were bullied everywhere because we were just here at short notice," Garlic Sauce sobbed softly, her eyes tearing up again. "Ever since I woke up, my brother and the others have been following the expedition team on missions. I don't know why I've lost all my powers. Now I'm just a useless person, doing odd jobs in the back."

Seeing that he couldn't coax Garlic Sauce, Lu Yuguan was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"Tongzi, save me!"

Lu Yuguan asked the system for help.

【What's wrong with the host】

"I don't know how to coax people. He always cries. What should I do?" Lu Yuguan couldn't help asking.

This is indeed a difficult problem.

"That's right, coaxing people is the hardest thing." Lu Yuguan frowned.

[After all, they are different from you]

[When you cry, just spin the turntable twice and it will solve the problem. It is easier than coaxing a child.]

Lu Yuguan: ...

Just when Lu Yuguan was at a loss, Xiao Zhima suddenly climbed into the arms of Garlic Sauce, causing the latter to panic and even untie the hair tie in a panic.

"careful!--"

Lu Yuguan quickly supported Garlic Sauce's body.

But when the two came into close contact, Garlic Sauce's face suddenly turned red.

"Master... Master, I'm fine, please let me go!"

"Oh oh oh."

Lu Yuguan loosened his arms, and the garlic sauce in front of him lowered its head shyly, with its black hair gently draped over its shoulders.

His cheeks were lightly flushed, like newly blossomed peach blossoms, delicate and beautiful.

There was a shy sensitivity in Garlic Sauce's eyes, and she didn't dare to look straight ahead.

"Are you afraid of cats?" Lu Yuguan asked doubtfully, holding the little Zhima in his arms and whispering, "We're all men, why are you so shy?"

【Host】

The system suddenly interrupted.

[When you were with Li Chonglin, you were even more shy than he was—]

"Shut up, ahhhhhhhh!"
