Chapter 0509: Maple Town
Speaking of this Maple Leaf Town, there are also some origins.
Maple Leaf Town is east of the Northern Mountains, and after crossing the Northern Mountains, it is the only place where humans gather. Originally, this was a bare open space, but later those who often went in and out of the war beast forest in search of various gems, medicinal herbs, and war beasts gradually began to settle here for trade due to the need for supplies.
After a short period of development, the town is now the size of a medium-sized city, except that it has no walls, it is surrounded by maple trees, and at some point it is full of red.
Because it is believed that the maple tree will bring comfort to the dead and give peace to those who have encountered misfortune in the forest of war beasts. It can be said that each maple tree represents a person's life, of course, this is known, and those who are buried alone in the war beast forest, and have no relatives to pray for them, are buried in the endless war beast forest, and there is no trace of their survival.
In Maple Leaf Town, the people who are seen the most are the fighters who are ready to go, who go to the War Beast Forest more or less in order to survive, and live or die quietly waiting for their arrival in front of them.
There is another type of people who are also more common in Maple Leaf Town, and that is the injured who are scarred.
Entering Maple Leaf Town is even to the edge of the War Beast Forest, where death is witnessed every day, and those who have stayed here for a long time have long been numb, and only those who have just entered this place will be shocked by those bloody noon, and mourn for those who die under the claws of war beasts, this is real survival.
People may not be as difficult to survive as wild beasts, but if you want to live better than others, you can't get it without paying!
It was almost noon when Xia Yu and the others arrived here, and they smelled a pungent smell of blood from a distance, according to the witch - she also knew from the book that this smell of blood would be emitted at noon every day, even in the middle of winter, the smell of blood that was always entwined was difficult to eliminate.
Perhaps this was a warning from the dead!" the witch sighed at last, and took out a veil to cover her mouth and nose.
The little princess and the others also did the same, all wrapped in gauze as cold as frost, in order to resist the uncomfortable smell of blood.
As for the beggar girl, she disappeared early in the morning, and everyone knew that she was going to say goodbye, but no one had ever looked for her, after all, everyone had their own fate, and they were going to the most dangerous war beast forest on the mainland, so naturally they couldn't let her continue to walk.
Mu Qingqing followed Xia Yu all the way, saying that she didn't want to go away, she also understood at this time that the injury on Xia Yu's face might not be able to recover, but she was obviously not so difficult to let go.
When Mu Qingqing first saw the beggar girl, she thought that she was Xia Yu's admirer again, so she didn't give a good face when she saw the beggar girl, but when she knew that the beggar girl was coming, she was happy again, but when she saw Xia Yu's appearance, she had an indescribable sadness.
However, Xia Yu kept arguing with Xue Bingbing all the way, and he was very happy.
Passing through the already reddish maple belts, Xia Yu and the others finally entered Maple Leaf Town.
This time, there was no need to deliberately look for it, they all found a large area of green bright spots from the induction stone, needless to say, these were all students of Tiancheng Academy.
At noon, Maple Town seemed to be caught in that bloody shroud, looking listless, and there were very few pedestrians on the road. Residents here know that the noon smell is unbearable, so very few people go out at this time.
The sun, too, had lost its scorching heat of the previous days, and with it a warm breeze, lazily sprinkled on the streets, spread over the houses that stood quietly below noon.
Xia Yu quickly adapted to the smell of blood, and Xiao Hong's bloodthirsty instinct was surprisingly calm, which also made Xia Yu let go of his worries, and he was somewhat surprised to find that since Xiao Hong's bloodthirsty instinct suddenly exploded last time, the bloodthirsty instinct had less and less influence on him.
Could this be Xiao Hong's special harvest after entering the super beast realm? Xia Yu heard Gnosis say that Xiao Hong had already entered the super beast realm on her own, and he also understood a little at this time why Long Ba had such a strong idea of capturing the super beast, after all, its temptation was too great!
Xia Yu has never been worried about the safety of Gnosis, after all, it is with all the beasts around him. Of course, Xia Yu didn't know that Gnosis had already dispersed ten thousand beasts.
Xia Yu and the others soon arrived at the gathering place of the green dot on the sensing stone, which was a huge square, surrounded by some unknown sculptures, and some tall green pines surrounded the square.
The arrival of Xia Yu and the others immediately attracted the attention of many people, after all, although Xia Yu was disfigured, he was still conspicuous. Not to mention, there is a group of beautiful girls around Xia Yu, although they are all wrapped in tulle, but many people recognize this group of famous and proud girls of the sky.
"Old Five! Old Five......"
Xia Yu was about to find a place to rest, but he heard a shrill cry in this silent square, and the voice was still so familiar.
"This dead Han Yu, I'm afraid that others won't know that he's the same!" Xue Bingbing said to the witch with a smile as she looked at the strange gazes cast by the people around her.
These words naturally played a role in fanning the flames, and the witch glared at Han Yu fiercely, although she didn't say anything, but Xia Yu knew that Han Yu would inevitably be taught a lesson by the witch.
Women really can't get together, because it's always the men who are unlucky when they are together. No, Han Yu is going to be unlucky......
Xia Yu looked at Han Yu who was bouncing up and down with some schadenfreude, and the atmosphere at noon was a little unharmonious, completely unaware that he was going to be unlucky!
Seeing Han Yu, that Bao'er must be here! Xia Yu swept around Han Yu, and sure enough, he saw Bao'er and Mo Ke standing together, looking at him in the middle of the day.
Xia Yu felt that a big stone in his heart had finally landed, and smiled slightly at Bao'er, and couldn't help but speed up his progress.
Bao'er is a relative in Xia Yu's heart, she has accompanied him through the most difficult days, and her role is irreplaceable.
"Han Yu, come here!" the witch said coldly to Han Yu, who wanted to pull Xia Yu to catch up, and the latter immediately slackened when he heard this voice, dragging his head and following the witch to the side.
Needless to say, it was naturally cleaned up by the witch.
"Ah Yu, what's going on on your face?" Bao'er waited for Xia Yu to get closer and noticed the difference between Xia Yu, although he exuded an indescribable aura on his body, but the shocking scar on his face destroyed the original handsomeness.
If you have to say Xia Yu's appearance at the moment, it is hideous, a kind of hideousness that naturally emanates.
"It's okay, I got some fights and some injuries on the way here. Although Xia Yu said it lightly, Bao'er was not as perfunctory as Mu Qingqing, but Bao'er didn't ask Xia Yu carefully about her injury, but used her fingers to gently soothe the scars.
Xia Yu did not stop Bao'er's movements, but looked at Bao'er with rare gentle eyes, her expression at the moment was solemn and pitying, her fingertips seemed to have endless magic, every inch of Xia Yu's skin would make his mood calm.
"Hey, I said you two don't linger, so many people are watching!" Xue Bingbing really couldn't stand the eyes of the people around her, so she couldn't help but remind her.
Bao'er's hand froze, leaned closer to Xia Yu, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Yu, you must be very tired all the way, right?" Hurry up and sit down and rest for a while......
Xia Yu was pulled by Bao'er to sit in the shade, he slowly told Bao'er what happened on the way, and then asked Bao'er about the situation.
The smell of blood slowly dissipated as the sun gradually shifted, replaced by a thick smell of earth and sunshine, completely different from the disgusting smell just now.
When Xia Yu and Bao'er finished telling their respective situations, the witch led Han Yu over from there, and Han Yu followed the witch listlessly, not at all ecstatic just now.
When the witch no longer paid attention to Han Yu, Han Yu cautiously walked up to Xia Yu and whispered, "Old Five, why did you bully her? Let her fix me severely!"
"What does she have to do with me repairing you! I've told you, you have to be kind, you have to know how to advance and retreat, you have to judge the situation, you don't listen to my advice, why are you blaming me now?"
"Alas, forget it, Old Five, I can't talk about you, but in order to compensate for my wounded heart, you can have dinner!......" Han Yu mysteriously leaned into Xia Yu's ear, "It seems that there are performances to watch here, and they are the kind of restricted, which are generally rare in the Imperial City, so they are not as good as ours......"
"I see you still haven't been repaired enough by her, when have you been thinking about it, do you still want this! Do you know that the world is going to be in chaos?"
"Cut, what's wrong with me!What about the chaos in the world, as long as the money still works, then I'll rest assured!" Han Yu disdained Xia Yu's attitude, "Old Five, this is not like you, when did you become so worried about the country and the people?"
"Bullshit worries about the country and the people, I'm thinking about myself! If you want to live well in the troubled times, you must have strength as a guarantee! Everything depends on strength, think about it, what if someone robs you of your money if you don't have the strength? Okay, let's not talk about what hasn't happened yet, let's just say that you have been bullied by the witch!" Xia Yu said it in one breath, and then saw Han Yu's listening look, knowing that the ideal that this guy wanted to ride on the witch's head the most has not been realized is his biggest pain, and continued to speak.
"The reason why you have been oppressed by the witch is not because she is stronger than you? Do you think, if your strength surpasses her, then she can still call you around?" Xia Yu said in a very small voice, even if the master above Wang Pin had to concentrate and deliberately eavesdrop to be able to hear it, so he was not afraid that these words would be heard by the people around him.
After listening to Xia Yu's words, Han Yu's eyes immediately lit up, and the horns of his mouth flowed involuntarily, "Old Five, really?"
Xia Yu sighed, it was not easy to surpass the witch, she had already reached the peak of the ninth grade, and she was almost on par with herself, but in order to allow Han Yu to do something for his world in the future, he still had to comfort this man who had been enslaved for too long!
"Naturally it's true!" Xia Yu patted Han Yu on the shoulder, "Second brother, you have been enslaved for too long, you see that you are a little servile, and you haven't even considered resisting! Brother, I can't bear to see you continue to fall, so I remind you! Let's not say anything else, just because you like beautiful women, you can't be pressed by women all the time! You have to be self-reliant, second brother!"
Bao'er went to the side of the witch and the others at Xia Yu's signal, and joined the woman's conversation.
"Old five, it's not that I don't resist, it's that every time I resist, I will be severely suppressed by her!When I was five years old, I touched her face because I took a fancy to a girl, and she knew about it after she ......knew it" Han Yu shuddered, it seems that the witch's oppression of him has been since childhood, and it has penetrated into his heart, "She deducted my pocket money and put snakes in my clothes......"
"When I was seven years old, I thought I already had the conditions to compete with her, so I openly argued with her, and then she was severely suppressed, and then she stripped off her hair, eyebrows and other most important things for men......"
"The most important thing for a man was also picked out by her?" Xia Yu couldn't help it, and interrupted Han Yu with a loud voice, his eyes still glancing towards his crotch.
Han Yu immediately understood what Xia Yu meant, and scolded with a smile: "This is the foundation of life, how can she do without it! Besides, she won't be so bold......
"When I was twelve years old, I secretly ran to the Qinglou, and she did not have any corporal punishment this time, but engraved four words on my face: I am a eunuch......"
"Why does she know everything you do?"
"I didn't notice it at first, but later, I finally found out that she knew everything I did, and then I knew that there must be a ghost in the middle, and after my testing, I finally knew that the people around me were bought by her......"
Xia Yu immediately felt a chill all over his body, and it seemed that the current witch had converged a lot!
"The worst thing is that I was supposed to stay at home well, but I was brought to this strange country by her, and she looked at me strictly!"
"That's it, when I got here, I met you, I saw you and the witch had a grudge, she became interested in you, and I thought I had hope for my future life, who knows...... Alas, it's hard to put into words!"
"Dare to use me as a scapegoat!"
"Old Five, my good brother!" Han Yu suddenly grabbed Xia Yu's hand, "Brother beg, don't let your brother suffer because of you, my brother is already very fragile, if you continue like this, you have to go crazy......"
"Brother, it's not that my brother doesn't want to help you, it's really that I can't do anything!"
"Brother, brother has already helped you think of a foolproof plan, as long as you marry her, she won't be able to control me anymore, you see, everything is ready!" Han Yu said and took out a tightly packed thing, "This is a packet of adolescent mood regulators, the scientific name is aphrodisia, as long as it is so ......" As he spoke, Han Yu muttered something obscenely in Xia Yu's ear.
"Don't, brother, if you do this, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the two of us to turn over in this life and this life! It is even more difficult to provoke a woman than to provoke a top master!" Han Yu meant to use this pack of aphrodisiac medicine to make the witch automatically dedicate herself, and the object of dedication was naturally Xia Yu......
Xia Yu admired Han Yu's beastly thoughts, this thing was for himself, and even his sister dared to calculate!
