Chapter 26: The Journey of the Liao Kingdom (5)
The three of them went ashore to find a safe place in the woods by the river, because Jiang Xun was still stained with the slime in the monster's throat, so he took a water bag to wash his body, but the water in the water bag was still not enough, so he was worried about whether to go to the shore to get some river water. And Li Shunping was distracted by the monster's roar before, and now he is meditating to recover.
As for Chu Enoch......
Jiang Xun looked at Chu Enoch who was sleeping on the ground, and remembered the scene that had just happened.
At that time, because Li Shunping had just gotten out of the battle state, after the tense spirit was relaxed, the roar of the monster that disturbed his mind before made Li Shunping seem to have ten thousand bees in his head, and he was reluctant to even stand up. Therefore, Jiang Xun and Li Shunping, who were a little overdrawn, helped each other to a safe place with difficulty, and the strange thing was that Chu Enoch walked in front by himself, ignoring the two behind him.
When Jiang Xun, who was a little struggling, just wanted to ask Chu Enoch to help Li Shunping together, Chu Enoch fell to the ground.
"Hey, Chu Enoch!"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little exhausting, just take a break. Chu Enoch turned his head to Jiang Xun and said, with a wry smile on his face.
"This is inevitable, if it were in normal times, it might not have such a big consumption, but the coercion of that monster made our consumption become about ten times that of usual when we used the power of soul shadow, so it became like this. Li Shunping, who was supporting Jiang Xun, also smiled bitterly, "Put me down, I want to recover well." Otherwise, you won't be able to complete the next step. ”
So why am I ......
"Yes. Jiang Xun put Li Shunping down, and the latter meditated, trying his best to recover his spirits.
Jiang Xun looked at Chu Enoch, who was still planted on the ground, and couldn't help but squat down and poke Chu Enoch.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll be on my feet soon. Chu Enoch said.
But soon, Jiang Xun heard a snoring sound, which was Chu Enoch's.
"Hmm......" Jiang Xun was speechless, he turned Chu Enoch over, let him face up, and then dragged him to the bottom of the tree, in the process, Chu Enoch still fell asleep like a dead pig. Well, it's not appropriate to use this analogy, because Chu Enoch doesn't look like a pig except for sleeping like a dead pig, everything else is not like a pig, because it's that face, but Jiang Xun has another idea, he thinks Chu Enoch is like a pig.
Although he does have incredible abilities.
Jiang Xun didn't quite know what Chu Enoch had just done to the monster, making the monster seem to be stagnant for a few seconds, and what he had done to move himself to his side in an instant. But what he knew was that there was so much he didn't know.
But none of this matters now, the important thing is that Jiang Xun's hair and neck are sticky now, and he is extremely uncomfortable.
Do you want to take a shower?
After a while, Jiang Xun took the water bag, risked being attacked by the monster before, walked to the shore, smashed it with a force, chiseled through a large area of ice, and then took some river water into the water bag. Although he had the idea of jumping into the river and taking a bath, the idea was still an idea, and he still had to give up when he encountered reality.
The water and air are always cold, but at this point, Jiang Xun can only wash his hair and hands with a cup of water in a water bag like a glass of hydrolysis fire, although there are still spare clothes on the ship, but Jiang Xun has no desire to go up and get it, after all, it is only the outer clothes that are stained with mucus, and most of the clothes inside are still intact after taking them off.
When Jiang Xun returned to the place where the three of them had rested after washing, he realized that he had neglected someone.
What about the captain who was carried to the same place by Chu Enoch before?
Jiang Xun was instantly alert, he had overlooked some things that he should have noticed because of the previous incident, really...... Jiang Xun condemned himself in his heart, and he temporarily lost his instinct to think calmly because of this little thing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xun glanced at the boat that was still docked on the shore, and then at the water bag in his hand, and threw the water bag in his hand on the ice in the distance. Then Jiang Xun's originally black eyes suddenly turned golden, and his hair, which was mixed with water and ice chips, also emitted some white vapor and became dry.
"......" As the white vapor dissipated, Jiang Xun's eyes returned to their usual black, he put away Beshouyi, and then turned to leave, as if nothing had happened just now.
But in the distant woods, there was a dark shadow silently observing all this.
Jiang toured to the place where the three of them were resting temporarily, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Senior Li Shunping was still meditating and recovering, and Chu Enoch was still lying on the ground, but he still felt that this place could not be stayed for a long time, and it was better to leave as soon as possible. If everything before was planned by others, then the other party's purpose should not be so simple, and they can be targeted at them in such a short time...... Wait, what's the reason they're doing this?
Jiang Xun turned his head to look at Li Shunping and Chu Enoch.
These two men don't look like they're going to provoke the most vicious people.
But thinking like this will only fall into a dead loop, after all, before these two people wake up, it's useless to think too much, it's better to guard them first and let them recover first, Jiang Xun didn't want to go down.
Because it was already late at night, everyone would feel tired, so Jiang Xun gently leaned on the huge tree, so as not to fall from the snow on the tree to give him a head-on blow, although Don't bend to put it on his waist a little panicked, but Jiang Xun only moved it and didn't take it off.
"Huh...... That's enough. Jiang Xun looked up at the snow that began to fall in the darkness again, and let out a sigh about the current situation, but soon he found something abnormal.
Why is the snow hot? Jiang Xun stretched out his right hand and caught the falling snowflakes, but the snowflakes actually emitted heat.
"Hmm?" Jiang Xun noticed that the snowflakes in his hands were not only exuding heat, but also ...... Corrosion of his own hands? Jiang Xun immediately threw away the snowflakes in his hand, but it was too late, his hands seemed to be still corroded, and the burning sensation became stronger and stronger, but Jiang Xun only frowned at this.
"It's time to come out, is it fun to hide like this?" Jiang Xun said to himself.
No one answered him.
"Good. Jiang Xun closed his eyes, leaned lightly against the tree again, and spit out a mouthful of white mist, completely ignoring the snow.
Li Shunping and Chu Enoch were already beside the tree, their bodies wrapped in thick clothes, but their exposed faces were also covered with felt hats by Jiang Xun in advance because of the cold, and they were pressed tightly, so there should be no problem. Only Jiang Xun wore the least, he took off the coat stained with monster slime before, and even the felt hat was lost in the previous fight with the monster, but because of Jiang Xun's soul shadow, Jiang Xun has a high resistance to the cold, although this resistance is obtained by sacrificing a part of his energy.
But none of this can be a reason for Jiang Xun to ignore the hot drifting snow, although the heat did alleviate some of Jiang Xun's loss of energy, but at the same time, the burning pain on Jiang Xun's hands became more and more intense. But even so, Jiang Xun still had to endure it, because he was gambling, betting that the person who attacked thought that he had the ability or method to remove or neutralize this strange corrosion, so he could only take down Jiang Xun as soon as possible while two of the three of them were still recovering.
It's a wait, and it's a gamble that will determine who will be the hunter and who will be the prey.
Jiang Xun pretended to lean against the tree easily, but in fact, his soul shadow had already quietly lurked under the snow around him, and closing his eyes was just to hide the golden eyes when he activated the soul shadow, but even so, Jiang Xun could only wait, yes, waiting in agony, because the burning pain from his hand made Jiang Xun uncontrollably shed cold sweat.
Finally, Jiang Xun waited for the opportunity he wanted, and when that person suddenly appeared in Jiang Xun's sight, in the boundless darkness, Jiang Xun had already controlled his soul shadow to move silently under the snow, looking for an opportunity. Although that person had already entered Jiang Xun's attack range, for the sake of safety, Jiang Xun was still waiting for that person to get closer.
The man was dressed in white, which made it possible to fully hide in the snow, but in Jiang Xun's eyes, the person became clearer and clearer, wearing a mask painted with colorful patterns on his face, which was extremely conspicuous, but his body was thin, like a bamboo pole. At that time, it was frighteningly quiet because of the snow, and Jiang Xun could clearly hear his heart beating rhythmically, and the rustle of the person stepping on the snow. Just a little closer, a little closer. Jiang Xun thought to himself, as long as he got closer, that person would definitely not be able to escape.
But the man stopped.
"Is that alright?" said the man.
What is okay?, Jiang Xun wondered.
But the sound of the wind breaking immediately shocked Jiang Xun's heart, Jiang Xun moved his closed eyes slightly to look at the sound, only to see that on his head, a strong man also dressed in white with a big knife in the night slashed towards Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun did not hesitate, directly opened his eyes and raised Bebileyi to block his slash, the big knife was unexpectedly blocked by Bebowing, but at this time, Jiang Xun only felt that his right hand was shocked, and then he was so paralyzed that he almost couldn't hold Bebend, Jiang Xun realized that his right hand had been corroded by the previous hot snowflakes, has it reached this situation?
But time can't allow for careful thinking, the sturdy man has already seen through Jiang Xun's ability to remove corrosion, just bluffing, so he once again waved the big knife and rushed straight at Jiang Xun.
But Jiang Xun still stood in place, quietly watching the man rushing towards him.
Is...... That's the case.
He remembered that his father had rushed at him like this before, and he could even recall the killing aura he had felt at that time, and the feeling he felt.
The golden eyes stared at all this indifferently, and everything in the world stopped under such gaze, the snowflakes flying in the air stopped, like children who couldn't find a home, and the movements of the two men also stopped, like two statues that were originally standing here, one waved the big knife towards Jiang Xun with all his strength, and the other was walking towards Chu Enoch who was lying on the ground, holding a sharp knife in his hand, but at this time they had no chance to make a move, because even the boundless darkness stopped, as if singing a lament of light.
Jiang Xun was able to move, he first dodged the man's attack range slightly sideways, and then waved with his left hand to unyielding, and swung a heavy blow towards the man's neck.
Everything began to flow, the stout man fell, and the thin man not far away suddenly showed a painful expression when he was about to make a move on Chu Enoch, who was lying on the ground, and he desperately pulled the thing around his neck, but the thing was tightly wrapped around his neck.
It was Jiang Xun's soul shadow, the snake.
