The two of them were frightened by Xiao Li's face. Only his face was covered with scars and his flesh was turned out. Xiao Li's throat moved, but he could only emit a faint "Ah" sound. However, his eyes seemed to be questioning the other party.

The two of them looked at each other and felt slightly relieved. They both thought to themselves: So, it's a deaf mute. One of them said, "What are you doing here?" Seeing that Xiao Li didn't respond, he pointed to the bonfire and made a simple hand gesture. He probably wanted to ask why Xiao Li was roasting meat here. Xiao Li used his hands and the bow and arrows on his body to tell them that he was a hunter of the mountain. The three of them had to struggle for a long time before they finally understood each other.

The two of them looked at each other. They were still doubtful about Xiao Li's excuse. After all, their main altar was located in a very secluded place and not an ordinary hunter could enter.

Xiao Li immediately interjected and gestured at them that he didn't understand what was going on. He told them that he had chased a wild beast to come here, and pointed at the barbecue to let them have a taste. The two of them had originally been attracted by the aroma of his grilled meat, but after seeing him point at the grilled meat, they forgot everything else. After fighting, only a few bones remained in their hands.

The two of them gestured to Xiao Li to thank him for the barbecue. Xiao Li hurriedly waved his hands to show that he wasn't going to stand on ceremony. The two of them reluctantly threw away the bones in their hands and simultaneously told Xiao Li to leave this place as soon as possible. Xiao Li nodded his head to show that he understood and then went to pack up his things, intending to leave immediately.

When the two of them saw that Xiao Li was about to leave, their hearts were moved. They unconsciously looked at the bones on the ground and saw the reluctance in each other's eyes. One of them finally could not hold it in and said, "This barbecue meat is really the best in the world. I've never tasted such a delicious meat before. If I could eat it every day, even if I had to die, I would be willing."

Another person said, "I wonder if he has some sort of secret recipe? Why don't we buy it from him? "

That person shook his head and said, "You don't know, being a chef is a profound knowledge. Fire and materials have to be carefully chosen. Even if we know the method, we probably won't be able to do it. "My ancestor only had one famous chef, but none of his descendants were able to do it. No matter how hard they tried, they were unable to learn the techniques passed down in their ancestors."

Another person shook his head and sighed, "Ah, looks like this is our fate then."

The other fellow shook his head and said, "If we were lucky, we wouldn't have stayed here and guarded the door for more than ten years. Every day, we would have eaten the leftovers of those fellows."

The other man sighed and shook his head. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. "Oh, right. Did you hear that Old Zhao had twisted his waist?"

Upon hearing his question, the man's eyes lit up. "You're saying ?"

The two of them shouted at the same time, "Help the kitchen!"

Xiao Li heard the conversation between the two of them and could not help but smile inwardly. At least the heavens did not disappoint those who had good intentions. He had received a fair amount of suffering. He hoped that he hadn't suffered in this place.

The two of them ran over and stopped Xiao Li who was still packing his things. Their gestures were all messed up. Finally, they brought out a shovel and some silver. They told him to help cook for them for a month and give them a tael of silver.

When Xiao Li saw the tael of silver, his eyes lit up and he nodded again and again. He didn't care if he understood or not.

The two of them thought that they had coaxed Xiao Li into staying, but they didn't know that Xiao Li was also thinking, "I've finally snuck into the Lou Guang Sect's so-called iron wall Earth Grand Altar."

The two of them brought Xiao Li into the main altar. One of them stayed behind to continue guarding while the other brought Xiao Li inside. After entering, Xiao Li found that the interior was heavily guarded. Every step he took was a guard, and every step he took was a guard. The place wasn't too big, but it was guarded by more than 20 people. Huge mountain walls formed a natural wall that protected these buildings. After Xiao Li entered, he discovered that there were a lot of buildings here. All of them were huge stone buildings that took up about ten acres of land. However, they were only two to three storeys tall.

The person brought Xiao Li through two mountain walls and into a three-storey building. After passing through the inner hall and entering the kitchen, the man shouted, "Old Zhao, look what I've brought you."

An old voice came from the kitchen, "Second donkey!" Aren't you on duty with Three Eggs today? "Why did you sneak out again and be careful that Control knows he chopped you up and fed you to the wolves?" Then, a man with a head full of white hair walked out from the kitchen. This person was quite majestic, but unfortunately, he had an aged face and a stooped back.

It turned out that the person who brought Xiao Li in was nicknamed Ermou, and the person who was on duty with him was San Wu. When the donkey saw the person who came out, it glared at him and said, "Old Zhao, don't shout. Others look down on me, Er Meng, and you followed along. Look at how spirited you are, man! "

Only now did Old Zhao notice that there was another person who had arrived with the second donkey. Furthermore, his face looked quite unfamiliar. He couldn't help but narrow his old eyes and carefully size up Xiao Li. He carefully observed Xiao Li from head to toe. Xiao Li also felt a bit nervous and pretended to be a bit nervous.

The donkey said, "Old Zhao, didn't you twist your waist yesterday? "Today, San Guo and I were on duty outside, and we just happened to see this brother roasting meat. It really smells good ?" He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of water and continued, "I had a few mouthfuls, so I brought him here to be your assistant. "This brother is a mute, and his ears are not good enough ?"

At first, Old Zhao frowned when he heard this, but when he heard that Xiao Li was deaf and mute, he said, "What? This young man is deaf and dumb? "

The donkey said, "Who's not? We only brought him here to earn a living because we felt he was pitiful. Just look at his face. He must have been hunted by wild beasts on the mountain. This mute originally had a hard time surviving in the outside world, but now with his face crippled, it will be even harder to survive. "

Old Zhao said, "Yes, that's true. I wonder what he will do?"

The donkey hurriedly said, "He knows everything!"

Old Zhao chuckled, "Second donkey, who doesn't know of your thoughts? Wasn't it just because he wanted to have someone to eat in the kitchen, so that he could have a good meal in the future? "If he really can help, then I will accept your kindness. Even if there's something good, I can give it to you."

The donkey laughed foolishly and said, "Then I'll thank you first."

Old Zhao said, "Alright, then. Let's leave him here. "You should hurry up and go stand guard. If you're too late, others will realize that you'll be in trouble if you reach the top."

The Second Donkey quickly pointed out to Xiao Li, implying that he wanted Xiao Li to listen to Old Zhao properly. After finishing his work, Xiao Li would receive a monthly allowance but would still be able to eat and drink. Xiao Li nodded repeatedly and agreed.

After the second donkey had finished giving orders, it bid farewell to Old Zhao and slipped away.

Old Zhao saw that his second donkey had left, so he beckoned to Xiao Li and brought him into the kitchen. Unexpectedly, the interior was extremely large. Furthermore, the items inside were arranged in a neat manner, and there were quite a few people inside. Old Zhao led him directly to a corner where there was a pile of bowls and chopsticks. Pointing at the chopsticks, he said, "Wash these bowls and chopsticks clean."

Xiao Li only looked at him in a daze. Only now did Old Zhao remember that Xiao Li was a deaf and mute person. He hurriedly made a few hand gestures, implying that Xiao Li should wash his things. Xiao Li nodded his head repeatedly. Actually, he had long since heard Old Zhao's words. It was just to act more pretentiously. After that, Xiao Li sat down to wash the dishes.

In the past, when Xiao Li was at home, he had to help with housework, so he was familiar with these things and was quite proficient in them.

Old Zhao saw how diligent Xiao Li was and ignored him, leaving by himself. Before leaving, he muttered to himself, "This donkey really knows how to cause trouble for himself. If he has nothing to do, then he'll just cause trouble for himself by being deaf."

Xiao Li ignored them and continued to play with the things in his hands while secretly observing his surroundings.

This kitchen was very large, around a few mu of land, and it was divided into many areas. There were large stoves, places to put vegetables, places to place all kinds of meat, places to prepare delicacies, places to wash dishes, places to wash vegetables. Everyone here seemed to be busy with their own work.

Other than Xiao Li, who was washing the dishes, there was a skinny young man with a pair of greasy sleeves who was stirring up the Yellow Dragon. When Old Zhao came, he didn't dare to say anything, but as soon as he left, he secretly sized up Xiao Li. At the same time, he muttered to himself, "This Old Zhao's eyesight is really getting worse and worse. He actually found me such a helper. He had asked him to find a girl for help these past few days, but he was actually matched with an ugly man, and he was even a mute at that. Wasn't he trying to suffocate his little monkey to death? Did he already know that I was the one who spilled salt on his food the other day? Well, no, no, I did it in a pretty secret way. From what he heard, it seems to be the person that idiot Ermou found. Fuck, this idiot intervened at this moment, he must have troubled your grandpa monkey. "

The thin man seemed to be very active and could not stop talking. He was washing the dishes as he told himself the little secret in his heart. Since he already knew that Xiao Li was deaf, he wasn't afraid of Xiao Li listening. Xiao Li inwardly laughed when he heard this. This kid did all sorts of bad things and knew how to be lazy the most. Even Old Zhao couldn't do anything about him, so he assigned him a job of washing the dishes and fixed the amount of dishes to him every day. Xiao Li didn't need to inquire about anything as he already knew some of the people here from this little monkey. Old Zhao was the manager and the chef here. He was in charge of all the personnel.

The little monkey nagged for a while and felt that it was boring. Seeing that Xiao Li was just focused on washing the dishes, it moved its position closer to Xiao Li. Xiao Li pretended that he didn't know and continued to wash the dishes earnestly. Lil 'Monkey patted him. Xiao Li found it funny. "This kid really doesn't stop for a moment." Ye Zichen looked at him in confusion.

Little Monkey also hadn't interacted with deaf mutes before, as he gestured randomly, muttering to himself, "Where did you little bastard come from?" Why did it have to be in such a desolate place? Was it captured by that idiot Second donkey? " If it weren't for his mouth, Xiao Li really wouldn't have known what he was talking about. However, with the little monkey's foul language in his mouth, he understood. Xiao Li hurriedly replied, pointing to his hunter attire while gesturing with his hands to hunt and roast meat. At the same time, he recounted his encounter with the second donkey and the third egg. The little monkey man was also very smart. He actually guessed correctly and said, "It's a hunter on this mountain. Hunting and roasting meat here, and meeting this idiot Second donkey, isn't it?"

Xiao Li nodded again and again. Little Monkey suddenly understood and smiled, "Damn, so this daddy is actually so amazing. I actually talked to deaf mutes the moment I started. Although it was a bit difficult and not as easy as playing with girls, it was still better than not having any. Damned Old Zhao, you want to suffocate me to death? You don't even have the door, don't you see that laozi is happily chatting with this mute!? "

Hearing this, Xiao Li started sweating profusely. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "F * ck, talking to an idiot like you is killing me!" Damn it, if you didn't have the habit of being so talkative, I wouldn't even be able to talk to you. However, with this talkative monkey here, laozi can roughly understand the situation here, laozi will chat with you slowly. Xiao Li was an active person to begin with. Moreover, he was a child, so he naturally had the temperament of a child. In his heart, he secretly cursed, imitating the little monkey's tone.

The two children chatted idly, doing their jobs. Xiao Li came up with a lot of useful information from this little monkey's mouth.

They were mainly responsible for the main altar's daily meals. Of course, this was only for the lower levels of the main altar. Masters like the Altar Master, Foreign Dignitary, and Elders all had their own servants and manors. Every day, they would bring their meals to the training field and the instructors' rooms. The others would come to the kitchen to eat.

Xiao Li knew that if he wanted to check out the situation here, he would have to deliver the food there. But he also knew that he couldn't rush it. If he found a flaw, not only would he have to go through with it, Ying Ying would die for the rest of his life.

Just like this, three days passed by in a flash. He kept a low profile and spent every single day washing dishes and eating eggs with the little monkey. There were a lot of dishes here anyway, so it was easy for them to finish a certain amount of work. At this time, Xiao Li and the little monkey were chatting excitedly. Suddenly, Old Zhao's voice rang in Xiao Li's ears, "The two of you are quite comfortable. Every day, you would laugh and laugh here. Little Monkey, come over and bring me some food."

Xiao Li was shocked. I didn't even notice that Old Zhao had arrived by his side. I heard from Big Brother Ling that if there was someone who could sneak up to you without you noticing, then that person must be an expert. He also said that my ability to imitate beasts was a rather brilliant method of concealment. The instinct of a wild animal also had the ability to sense danger. Then this Old Zhao must not be a simple person.

Just as Xiao Li was thinking about this, the little monkey sighed, "Oh my god! What day is it today! Why do you want me to grab me to do manual labor? " As he mumbled, he raised his hand to the sky and danced about. Xiao Li came back to his senses and hurriedly gestured, asking him where he was. Little Monkey seemed to have found his father as he gestured with his hands and feet while complaining loudly in a bitter tone, "Little Mute, I'm going to be captured and sent to work. You're the one who feels better!" This time, I am going to the Ten Thousand Miles Pass Mountain. I don't know what year or what month it is, but I won't be able to take care of you in the future. You better take care of yourself, okay?

Old Zhao angrily said, "Forget about it, who didn't see that it was Xiao Mute helping you wash the dishes these two days? To think you have the nerve to say that you're taking care of her. You shouldn't be making such a ruckus here, it's just that the Four Dogs aren't feeling well today, and a burden is needed on you. "Don't worry, with your skinny body, who would want to use you? You call yourself a strong person."

Xiao Li thought to himself, "This is also an opportunity. If I can deliver the food for him, I can take the opportunity to walk around everywhere in this place. Perhaps, I might even be able to scout his whereabouts." He gestured to the little monkey that he could help.

The little monkey had a sly smile on his face. He knew that he had succeeded in his scheme. On the surface, he seemed to be in a dilemma: "Sigh, I have no way of agreeing. Otherwise, people will say later that I'm lazy." Actually, these words were meant for Old Zhao but Xiao Li couldn't hear them.

Old Zhao sneered coldly, "Forget it, forget it. Both of you go now. Otherwise, you might cause more trouble for me later on." It seemed that Old Zhao had also been scared by the little monkey's mischief. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have enough manpower, he wouldn't have come to ask for his help. With Xiao Li's help, it would have been perfect.

Xiao Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that these two people would make him angry. Now that they were finally relieved, the two of them wiped their hands and got up to follow Old Zhao to the snack area.

When they arrived, the food was already loaded and waiting for them. Little Monkey quickly gestured to Xiao Li to let him take up a burden. Xiao Li obviously knew that he wanted her to do the work for him, but he didn't bother to argue with her and decided to shoulder the burden. Even though Old Zhao saw it, he did not make a sound. He pretended he did not see it. He knew that if he was too anxious and worried about Little Monkey, he would most likely be the one in trouble. This was because he had the responsibility and Little Monkey's body was light. This was also the reason why even though the little monkey was irritating here, he was able to have a good reputation. This was also the reason why the little monkey was like a ghost and didn't leave any evidence for others to deal with, so other people couldn't do anything about him.

Xiao Li carried his burden as the little monkey hopped up and down behind him as if it was enjoying its life. The group of twenty or so people went to the training field, while the other teams went to their respective residences to deliver exquisite food and wine to the instructors.

As the crowd walked, Xiao Li realized how big this Earth Kun Altar was. It was many times bigger than he had imagined. Just by walking along the way, they would discover layers upon layers of walls surrounding a lot of large buildings, but these buildings were all made of mountain rocks. From afar, it looked like a mountain rock stratum. "They passed through one cave after another. After walking for several miles, Xiao Li became more and more frightened. He didn't expect the world to be so vast inside. Wanting to find someone here was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.

After another few kilometers, Xiao Li could faintly hear some shouts. He already guessed that they were probably close to the training grounds. As expected, Old Zhao led them through a large entrance. Suddenly, a wide path opened up in front of them and a huge plaza appeared in front of them. The plaza was quite large, and even Xiao Li couldn't see the ends of it at first glance. Of course, this was only because there was still some distance between them and the plaza over there.

Old Zhao hollered, "Everyone be more nimble, we're at the end of the line." Then, he took the lead and walked forward. Everyone else immediately quickened their pace to keep up with him.

When Xiao Li arrived at the plaza, he saw thousands of people sweating profusely. Now, he could see that they were practicing various ultimate skills. These people were separated into many groups, and it seemed like they were also divided into many groups. Each group had their own leaders who were constantly giving pointers to their partners. The thousands of people in this square were like groups of ants, separated from each other by a great distance. They were not afraid of others secretly learning their own absolute arts.

The arrival of Old Zhao and the others immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone stopped. Old Zhao clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I've brought the waiters here to deliver the food." Then he instructed the people behind him, "Everyone, quickly bring the food up. All of you Masters have been practicing for the whole morning and are already hungry."

The people behind him did not say a word and respectfully distributed the food they were carrying to each of them. Xiao Li didn't know how to send it, but the little monkey looked at the load and waved him over to the farthest group of people. It turned out that the food poles were all marked and distributed to that group of people.

Little Monkey brought him to the front of the group and chuckled to the leader, "Foreign Dignitary Hong, how have you been? I missed Lil 'Monkey so much. You actually came here personally to guide your disciple, and even ate here. " One must know that the guest official was a high level official in the main altar. Usually, he would have time to come over and give some pointers and not stay here for too long.

When the leader saw the little monkey, he chuckled and said, "You damn monkey, why haven't you died from exhaustion yet? "I haven't seen you around for a while, I thought you had been thrown into the mountains by Old Zhao to be fed to wolves."

The little monkey was not angry. "If that old man had that ability, then I, the little monkey, would not be able to live. This time, you must teach me a little more so that I can capture Old Zhao's head, and then I will give you a long face. "

However, his voice was sharp and his language was sharp. He said to the little monkey, "You Plague Monkey, last time you said that you would make me a few jars of good wine for many years. I have just taught you martial arts, but now you want to learn new techniques instead of drinking wine, it's rare for me to not put your monkey butt on your face."

Little Monkey said in a flattering tone, "Ah, you don't know. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but Old Man Zhao has been watching it for a long time." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Did you see the one behind me? He was sent by the old man to keep an eye on me. He's deaf and dumb, so he only listens to the old man. "

Foreign Dignitary Hong had a slightly surprised look on his face as he said, "Oh, so that's how it is. I was wondering why I hadn't seen you for so long."

Xiao Li secretly laughed as he heard their conversation. This little monkey was really good at lying. It actually used its deafness to gain the trust of others. That way, others wouldn't be able to see through his lies. Xiao Li thought to himself, Since it's like this, I'll help you.

Xiao Li made up his mind. He put down his burden, walked over and patted the little monkey on the shoulder, and gestured to ask how the little monkey was eating. Little Monkey shrugged towards Foreign Dignitary Hong and said, "Right? Look, he's not even letting me talk to you. He's urging me to hurry up and work."

Xiao Li secretly praised the little monkey for being quick-witted and for not wasting even the slightest bit of opportunity. Every word or action he had taken were all taken advantage of by him. The little monkey smiled and gestured at him for a while. Then, the two of them opened the box and served the food and wine one by one.

Little Monkey brought a delicacy and a small jar of wine to Foreign Dignitary Hong. At the same time, he set up a small table for him with a food pole and accompanied Foreign Dignitary Hong. As he poured the wine, he said, "So, Elder Hong, you must teach me a few more things.

As Foreign Dignitary Hong was drinking wine and eating at sea, he casually replied with a 'Ah, ah, ah'. It was obvious that he didn't trust a person like Little Monkey who had already broken his promise once.

The little monkey rolled his eyes and immediately changed his method. "I heard that the annual competition is going to be held soon. Furthermore, this time, ten more guests will be chosen from your guest disciples."

Hearing the little monkey's words, Foreign Dignitary Hong paused and said, "Sigh, you are quite well-informed. How do you know about this matter?"

The little monkey laughed proudly and said, "I have a message for you."

Foreign Dignitary Hong knew that this damn monkey wouldn't tell him how he got the information, so he couldn't be bothered with it and said, "Yes, my disciples have signed up this time."

Little Monkey said, "With Patriarch Hong's 72 steps of chasing after the Cloud Soulcaster, he would definitely be able to win first place. "However ?" However, after saying that, the damn monkey stopped.

Foreign Dignitary Hong smiled and said, "What's the matter? Could it be that the disciple of my chief guest can actually lose? "
