Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 384 Repairing the Dog

The words spoken carelessly were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which stunned everyone, including Li Zhi.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and shock, as if they were doubting whether they had heard it wrongly.

Li Zhi frowned, stared at Wang, and asked, "Take you away? Where to?"

It raised its pair of black hands, gestured in the air a few times, and made an indistinct sound: "Let's get rid of this stupid desert..."

Li Zhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly glanced at Duan Heng, Zhang Wenchu and others, pondering in his heart.

After a brief silence, he slowly raised his head, looked at Wang, and said word by word: "Okay!"

The expressions of Duan Heng and others changed instantly. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

However, although they were full of doubts and did not understand why Li Zhi would agree to this seemingly absurd request, they knew that Li Zhi was the person in charge of this operation and had absolute decision-making power.

Therefore, even though they were full of doubts, they did not question Li Zhi on the spot, and could only suppress these doubts in their hearts for the time being.

When Wang heard that Li Zhi agreed, he was so excited that he started dancing. His extremely dark body shook violently, and the wooden barrel under him also shook violently.

Li Zhi looked at this scene, frowning even deeper, and said to it: "Can you change your look, otherwise it might scare others."

Although the image of Wang was not terrifying, it was indeed strange. If they were to bring such a guy with them on the journey, not to mention the others, the envoys from the Ministry of Rites would probably be scared to death.

After hearing what Li Zhi said, Wang suddenly stopped moving.

Then, it made a strange sound: "No shrimp man... No waist shrimp man..."

There was a hint of urgency in his voice, as if he was trying hard to make his attitude clear.

As soon as the words fell, a thick black mist surged out of its body again. The black mist was like a surging tide, instantly enveloping it.

The black fog kept rolling and surging, as if it had life, undergoing a mysterious transformation.

As time went by, the black fog began to slowly shrink and become smaller and smaller.

It was not until the black mist shrank to the size of a baby that it gradually stopped changing and then slowly retracted. At this time, Wang, who originally had a human form, suddenly transformed into the size of a puppy.

The puppy is completely black, and at first glance, it looks like an ordinary black dog, with a soft sheen in the sun. But if you look closely, you will find that the puppy has no facial features, and its face is flat and smooth, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

"Repair the dog, not the person..."

Wang, who had transformed into a little black dog, spoke in a muffled voice with a hint of pride in his voice, as if he was showing off his new appearance.

 …

Li Zhi was surrounded by Duan Heng, Zhang Wenchu and others, as if he was a key figure who was about to be tried.

Duan Heng raised his chin and pouted at Wang who was rolling happily in the sand not far away. He asked Li Zhi with a serious look, "Are you really going to take this guy with you?"

Zhang Wenchu and others also looked serious and stared at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi looked at everyone calmly, his expression calm, and asked softly: "Do you also want to ask this question?"

Zhang Wenchu and the others nodded in unison, their movements coordinated as if they had rehearsed everything.

Li Zhi shook his head slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he patiently explained: "It actually has no ill intentions. The reason why it is so persistent is probably because of the resentment it has absorbed. It wants to leave this desert, so it asked us to take it away from here."

"How can you be so sure that it has no ill intentions? If this kind of thing is placed next to us, it's like a bomb that could explode at any time. Once it explodes, we will all suffer!"

Duan Heng's expression became more serious, his eyes revealed deep worry. His voice also unconsciously rose a few degrees, as if to remind Li Zhi of the seriousness of the matter.

Li Zhi smiled helplessly: "Do you think I don't know this? There is really no other way. This deer gives me the feeling that it is unfathomable. I feel that even if we join forces to take it down, we will definitely pay a heavy price, and breaking bones is the least of it. Instead of doing that, it is better to follow its will and take it away from this desert. This may avoid an unnecessary confrontation."

Chen Hua's eyes widened, his face full of uncertainty. He stammered, "Really... is this true? Can this evil spirit be that strong? The six of us joined forces, and we are not afraid of even the big monsters, so why can't we take it down?"

He was not questioning Li Zhi, but he didn't believe that with the strength of the six of them to deal with such an evil spirit, they would end up in such a situation.

Li Zhi patted Chen Hua on the shoulder and said earnestly: "I am preparing for the worst. There is more to life in the underworld than just fighting and killing. The smartest way is to make big things small and small things disappear."

Zhang Wenchu chuckled, with a hint of admiration in his voice: "Big things become small, small things become nothing... There is some philosophy in what you said."

Duan Heng rolled his eyes, with a helpless smile on his face: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, then let's do it this way."

Although he was still a little worried, Li Zhi had already made a decision, so he would definitely abide by it.

This is also what he had said to Li Zhi before, that he would follow Li Zhi's lead.

"By the way, how did you find this monkey hiding in the bucket?" Jia Zhen asked impatiently, full of curiosity.

Li Zhi smiled and replied, "I just suddenly remembered that we had replenished water in the oasis before. At that time, I felt that the abnormal consumption of water was a bit strange, so I suspected that it was related to it. Unexpectedly, after a little probing, it was really tricked out."

Li Zhi's words made Jia Zhen and the others look at each other in surprise. They thought Li Zhi was confident, but they didn't expect that he also hit the mark by accident.

"It turns out that it's a blind cat that catches a dead mouse..." Duan Heng muttered.

"Go! Go! Go..."

Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand to disperse them.

He was looking at the little black dog playing not far away, with mixed emotions in his eyes.

Zhang Wenchu, who was walking away, happened to turn around and saw this scene. His eyes flickered and he seemed to be thinking about something.

He gently touched Jia Zhen beside him and whispered, "Look at him. He speaks so confidently in front of us, but he is actually very worried in his heart. He is carrying all the pressure on his shoulders."

Jia Zhen nodded heavily and said solemnly: "Yes, he has taken all the responsibilities on his shoulders. The pressure is too great. We can't always let him bear it alone."

"Hey..."

Zhang Wenchu sighed softly, and that sigh was full of helplessness and emotion: "Let's take more precautions these days. We can't let him face everything alone. He also needs our support."

Jia Zhen nodded again without saying anything, but his eyes showed his attitude.

However, what Zhang Wenchu and Jia Zhen didn't know was that if they stood next to Li Zhi, they would be able to hear Li Zhi mumbling to himself: "Should I call him Xiao Hei or Xiao Wang..."
