Chapter 480
For the next three days, Xiao Chen and the other two traveled in the carriage. During the day, they traveled, and at night, they slept in the carriage. Of course, Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu did not sleep on the same bed. That small bed was where Dongfang Qingwu slept.
Xiao Chen and Da Huang squeezed on the long chair. Da Huang planned to sleep on the carpet on the floor of the carriage, but Xiao Chen did not agree. He insisted that Da Huang sleep on the recliner. Da Huang was not a dog. He was his life and death brother, so he must be respected.
Even though Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu did not sleep together, they slept in the same carriage. The space was small, and Xiao Chen could smell Dongfang Qingwu’s youthful fragrance. Dongfang Qingwu could smell Xiao Chen’s manly scent. The carriage was filled with a romantic atmosphere. If it was not for Da Huang, the third wheel, there was no guarantee that something wonderful would not happen between Xiao Chen and Dongfang Qingwu.
During these three days, Xiao Chen and the other two passed by the last city of Moonwatch Tribe. If they continued north for another three thousand miles, they would reach the border between Moonwatch Tribe and Freezing Sky Tribe. So, Xiao Chen and the others could only sleep in the wild. Even if they encountered a city or a mountain village, Xiao Chen and the others would not enter it to spend the night.
At noon on the fourth day, the sun was high in the sky, and the heat was hot. Xiao Chen drove the carriage and passed by a small lake. The water in the lake was very clear, and the ripples were sparkling. It looked very cool.
“Wow!
What a beautiful little lake! ”
Dongfang Qing Wu looked through the window and saw the small lake a thousand feet away from the mountain path. She couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Her pretty face, which had turned a little red because of the heat, revealed a tender and beautiful smile. Combined with her pure temperament, her beauty made the sun in the sky lose its splendor.
“Dong!”
Hearing Dongfang Qingwu’s exclamation, Xiao Chen made a strange sound. He pulled the ropes of the two Ferghana horses with practiced ease. The carriage gradually slowed down, and after a while, the carriage came to a steady stop.
“Xiu!”
Da Huang was the first to jump off the carriage. He ran into the nearby forest and went to relieve himself. Da Huang had completely recovered his strength, so Xiao Chen was naturally at ease to let Da Huang wander around. After all, Da Huang was the Beast King, and the wild mountains were his base. There would not be any problems.
Dongfang Qingwu didn’t get out of the carriage immediately. Instead, she opened her bag and took out a clean, brand-new blouse, short skirt, and a towel before she carefully got out of the carriage. Her eyes just happened to meet Xiao Chen, who was holding two water bottles made from cow horns, and her expression instantly turned a little shy.
“Eh?”
Xiao Chen saw the clothes and bath towel in Dongfang Qingwu’s hands and was slightly stunned. He immediately understood what Dongfang Qingwu wanted to do. He couldn’t help but ask, “Qingwu, are you going to take a bath?
To that small lake? ”
“Can’t I?
Big Brother Xiao, Qingwu has not taken a bath for three whole days. The first two days were cool, but today, Qingwu is going to die from the heat. My whole body is covered in sweat, and it’s so uncomfortable. If I don’t take a bath, Qingwu is going to die. Big Brother Xiao, wait here for Qingwu. Qingwu will take a bath at a shallow place by the lake. I will be back soon. Qingwu is going!
Hehe! ”
Dongfang Qingwu wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand and told him the reason why she wanted to take a bath. Then, without asking whether Xiao Chen agreed or not, she giggled and ran to the small lake briskly like a fairy. At this time, the temptation of the cold lake water was even stronger than the temptation of the cold man, Xiao Chen.
“Eh …”
Xiao Chen was a little dumbfounded as he looked at Dongfang Qingwu who was gradually getting farther away. He sighed with emotion that Dongfang Qingwu was really bold. In broad daylight, she, a young girl, actually dared to take a bath at the lake. What if someone peeped at her?
Xiao Chen wanted to remind Dongfang Qingwu, but Dongfang Qingwu had already run far away. He could only let Dongfang Qingwu go.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to put the ox-horn kettle back on the carriage. Since Dongfang Qingwu was going to take a bath, he naturally couldn’t get any water to drink. His current task was to help Dongfang Qingwu keep a lookout from afar and see if anyone passed by. If a passerby saw Dongfang Qingwu taking a bath and changing her clothes, he would be at a great disadvantage.
Although it was said to keep a lookout, there was actually not much to keep a lookout for. This place was considered a place far away from the city. It was hard to see a person within hundreds of miles. Even if there were passersby, they would take this passable mountain road. In addition, there were no mountains nearby, so there were probably no wild beasts or dire beasts. Xiao Chen only needed to guard this mountain road.
Xiao Chen watched from afar as Dongfang Qingwu ran to the lake. At this moment, Dongfang Qingwu’s gaze turned to the carriage.
“Hmm?
Qingwu doesn’t dare to be in my sight … “Xiao Chen was stunned. He immediately understood what Dongfang Qingwu was looking at. He blushed and turned his back. He didn’t dare to look at Dongfang Qingwu anymore.
Xiao Chen didn’t dare to look at Dongfang Qingwu again. Another beautiful and erotic scene appeared in his mind. It was the scene of Xiao Chen, Su Qingyi, and Zhu Qingmei coincidentally bathing in the same hot spring. When he recalled the two women’s perfect and sexy bodies and fair skin, his face couldn’t help but turn even redder.
“Why do I suddenly feel my body heating up?”
Xiao Chen was a mid-level warrior, so his resistance to heat and cold was already very strong. This little bit of heat was not a problem at all. At this moment, he suddenly felt his body heating up. His mind and consciousness were instinctively alerted, and he subconsciously asked himself, “Why?”
“Ah!
Brother Xiao!
Save me! ”
Just as Xiao Chen was letting his imagination run wild, Dongfang Qingwu’s terrified cries for help came from the direction of the lake. It immediately attracted Xiao Chen’s attention.
“What did you discover?”
Xiao Chen suddenly turned around and looked towards the small lake. He saw Dongfang Qingwu struggling in the lake. She was frantically crawling towards the lakeshore. From time to time, she would look back into the lake, as if there was something terrifying chasing her in the depths of the lake.
“Water monster?
I really deserve to die!
Why was I so careless!? ”
Xiao Chen realized that there was something that looked like a snake’s head popping out of the lake a few feet behind Dongfang Qingwu. His expression changed and he could not help but curse himself for dying. His body immediately shot out and at the same time, he released the Demonic God Bestow. At the same time, he circulated the Power of Desolates into his voice and shouted, “Da Huang!
Save her! ”
“Whew!”
Xiao Chen was extremely anxious. He was afraid that the water monster would hurt Dongfang Qingwu. After releasing the Demonic God Bestow, he increased his speed to the maximum. In less than a breath of time, he could travel a distance of more than a hundred feet. However, he was still too slow.
“Brother Xiao!
Save me!
Qingwu is very afraid!
Wu Wu! ”
Dongfang Qingwu’s terrified cries for help came from afar. At this moment, she was crying from the fear of the water monster behind her. She desperately crawled towards the lakeshore, but due to the obstruction of the lake water and her fear, she slipped a few times.
The water monster was getting closer …
“Whew!”
A yellow figure appeared from the forest far behind Xiao Chen. It was Da Huang, who had gone out for a stroll. Clearly, he had heard Xiao Chen’s call and immediately ran back at full speed.
“Brother!
I’m going to save sister-in-law first! ”
Da Huang’s speed was several times faster than Xiao Chen. In a few breaths, he had overtaken Xiao Chen. Naturally, he saw a water monster chasing after Dongfang Qingwu. Hence, he sent a voice transmission to Xiao Chen and rushed towards the lakeshore.
The water monster seemed to have discovered Xiao Chen and Da Huang. It was very afraid of Xiao Chen and Da Huang. However, its hunger overcame its fear. Not only did it not escape, but it also sped up and swam less than thirty feet away.
At this moment, Da Huang was still thirty feet away from Dongfang Qingwu. Xiao Chen was still forty feet away from Dongfang Qingwu. It was obvious that they wouldn’t be able to save her in time.
Dongfang Qingwu was in danger!
If the water monster really wanted to prey on Dongfang Qingwu, Dongfang Qingwu might not be able to escape!
