Ban Gongcuo nearly cried out. Then several more legs grew out beneath the box; with a shake, the box actually stood up. Before Ban Gongcuo could come to his senses, Shen Mu jumped onto the box.
Its four legs strode out, and it charged down the mountain.
Halfway down the slope, the Dragon Qilin was straining to shrink its body; when the box ran past, it sprang up, landed atop it, and plopped its rump down. Ban Gongcuo stood frozen, then looked at Xu Shenghua. Xu Shenghua, holding Jingyan's hand, was waving at Shen Mu on the box—he had clearly known all along.
"Treacherous! The scoundrel even dares to steal Xing Han's box!
" Ban Gongcuo was about to shout for Xing Han when he abruptly changed his mind and dashed down the mountain at a flying speed. The box was extremely fast and soon reached the mountain gate. As it was about to plunge into the darkness, Ban Gongcuo leaped up, grasped the box, and was dragged by the racing box into the darkness. The heap of divine objects inside the box pushed back the surrounding darkness, and its four legs sprinted onward, charging into the deep black night.
"So it's the Great Venerable. " Shen Mu turned his head to find Ban Gongcuo dangling beneath the box, bared his teeth in a grin, and drew his sword to cut.
Ban Gongcuo whipped out the poisoned leg to block.
Shen Mu's sword hacked against the leg, ringing out with clangs. "Hierarch Shen, stop!
" Ban Gongcuo cried frantically. "Strike again, and I'll shout! See how you try to escape!
" Shen Mu sheathed his sword with a face full of smiles: "What language is that, Great Venerable? We are old friends—how could I do you harm?
Great Venerable, underneath the box you'll be eating dirt.
Why not let me pull you up? " He covertly kicked the Dragon Qilin. The Dragon Qilin understood, opened its mouth, and brewed true fire within, ready to blast Ban Gongcuo flying into the darkness when Shen Mu pulled him up, using the darkness of the desolate wastes to eliminate him.
Ban Gongcuo shrank back and pressed himself under the box, saying: "I am deeply grateful for the Hierarch's kindness.
I enjoy eating dirt.
I am perfectly comfortable here—please don't trouble yourself about me. " At that moment, Xing Han's enraged voice came from above Little Sumeru Mountain in the distance: "Divine Physician Shen—I want to see whether your heart is black too! " "Of course it's black," Ban Gongcuo whispered under the box.
