Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Gluttonous Elder
Call!
As the last barb was removed, Zhang Xiaopaw and Qi Rong'er, who pretended to be unconscious, all breathed a sigh of relief, and the latter felt a feeling of dizziness in his brain and fainted again.
Zhang Xiaopaw glanced at Qi Rong'er's eyes weakly, and saw that her eyes were still closed and she was in a coma, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to touch someone's chest in front of other girls.
He glanced at his left hand like a thief, and it was this hand that had just touched the two soft areas, and now that he thought about it, it seemed that there was nothing else but softness.
Thinking about it, firstly, there is no beauty in the blood hula, except for seeping people, and secondly, he has no distractions, and he is bent on pulling out the barbs as soon as possible, and there are no other distracting thoughts. When the two are combined, there will naturally be no other feelings.
It's just that the soft and glutinous touch, as if it has magical power, has been wrapping around his fingertips and not retreating, and he is still drilling into his heart one by one, making Zhang Xiaopu feel uneasy.
Glancing at Qi Rong'er, Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help frowning. His original plan was to help Qi Rong'er remove the barb and then leave, and never see each other again in the rivers and lakes, in case Qi Rong'er retaliated. But now after listening to Qi Rong'er's self-report, he not only admires her tenacity and tenacity, but also can't help but sympathize with her life experience, which makes him unable to leave Qi Rong'er alone and leave.
"At least she should wait until she wakes up before leaving, otherwise if a wild beast passes by here, she will fall asleep and be in danger. Zhang Xiaopaw muttered to himself, he grew up bathed in the atmosphere of Liujia Village, kindness has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it is not something that can be changed by one or two things.
"This is the black giant ape's field of activity, and it's extremely dangerous, so you can't stay here for long. ”
Thinking that the black giant ape might turn back, Zhang Xiaopu couldn't help but shudder, and immediately decided to take Qi Rong'er out of this dangerous area and find a safe place.
He took Qi Rong'er's belongings on the ground back to the cloth bag, and went to the position where he was fighting with Qi Rong'er on the other side of the river to pick up his two truncated knives, planning to let Niu Yao connect them again after returning to the village. When he cleaned up the Feng Wu whip, he opened his eyes again, just flicked it lightly, and the dust and blood stains stuck to the whip body were all detached, cleaner than washing, and as soon as the button was pressed, the barb retracted into the whip body with a brush, which was very ingenious.
Syllable!
Syllable!
Syllable!
Zhang Xiaopaw shook the phoenix dance whip, and threw a crisp whip sound in the air, his eyes were very hot, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "How good it would be if I had such a divine weapon, my combat power will definitely be improved a lot." Hmmm—"
As he was speaking, he suddenly frowned, turned around and looked in one direction, the direction in which the black giant ape tortured and killed the old man with a crown and the old man with a red face.
"That three-foot short sword is an extraordinary product!"
He thought of the three-foot sword used by the crowned old man, and his eyes suddenly became hot.
"It is really not right to abandon the wilderness and leave the treasure in dust!"
"I'll help them collect the corpses, this sword is a reward, isn't it too much?"
"It's not too much. ”
"If not, I'll give it back to you when you wake up. Zhang Xiaopaw looked back at Qi Rong'er behind him and said.
After that, he picked up Qi Rong'er and jumped up the tall tree, put her on a thick trunk, and fixed her body with a phoenix dance whip to prevent her from falling. He didn't dare to take Qi Rong'er with him, for fear that if he met the black giant ape, he wouldn't have to run. He was afraid that a wild beast would pass by after he left, so he had to put her on a tree first.
He stood on the tree and looked at the bushes in the distance for a while, and made sure that there was no black giant ape in his field of vision, so he jumped off the tree and galloped across the river, and ran towards the place where the black giant ape was fighting. Even if he had observed that there was no black giant ape, he was still very careful, sneaking all the way.
The arena can be described in two words, bloody.
Blood was scattered all over the ground, and even the surrounding bushes were stained red, and broken arms, stumps, and bloody intestines and organs were scattered everywhere, and it was terrible to see.
Zhang Xiaopu endured the churning in his abdomen, and found the three-foot short sword of the crowned old man under a cluster of blood-stained bushes. The moment he grasped the hilt of the sword, he couldn't help but be amazed, because the short sword was not as light as he had imagined, not only was it light, but it was heavy, heavier than he had imagined. He held it in his hand and slid it, conservatively estimating that this sword weighed at least a hundred catties, much heavier than his hunting knife.
He wielded his short sword, and wherever the blade went, the bushes fell down, and there was not the slightest sound, which showed the sharpness of the sword. This sense of heaviness and sharpness made him love it, but the fly in the ointment was that the sword was too short and the hilt was too narrow, and it was not fun to use.
When it comes to leniency and heaviness, he can't help but think of the giant sword that Zhou Jianlai dragged in his hand, thinking about it at this moment, the sword is afraid that it weighs a thousand catties, even if it doesn't, I'm afraid it's about the same. If this sword is wielded, it will be earth-shattering and invincible.
Zhang Xiaopaw is greedy, and he can only be greedy.
"One day I'll have a weapon of my own!" he said, with fervent hopes and longing for the future.
Cleaning up his thoughts, Zhang Xiaopai dug a big pit with a three-foot short sword, threw all the severed arms and stumps into it, and then filled it with soil and piled up a grave.
"Let's all be reincarnated, reincarnated early, and after eighteen years, I will be a good man again. Zhang Xiaopaw arched his hand towards the grave, then picked up two bags and a cloth bag on the ground and turned to leave.
He vaguely remembered that these two bags belonged to the old man with a crown and the old man with a red face, and the purpose should be similar to Qi Rong'er's bag, containing some usable small items and pills and the like, and the big cloth bag was carried by a slave, he opened it and looked at it, and it was full of clothes.
It's all good things, and he is reluctant to lose them.
Turning back under the tree, Qi Rong'er was still lying quietly on the bed, not waking up from her coma.
Zhang Xiaopaw opened the gray cloth bag and picked out a well-fitting green robe, looking at the style, it should be the clothes of an old man wearing a crown, a little old-fashioned, but he didn't care, because he was almost unclothed, and some of them were good to wear.
He went to the river and washed well, and the wounds on his body were scarred under the action of the bone regeneration pills, but the chest area was injured many times in a row, and the scars were scarred, which was very infiltrating, and I was afraid that it would leave a big scar.
"The scar is a witness to growth, a symbol of a man, majestic and domineering!" Zhang Xiaopaw smiled, not knowing whether to comfort himself or to be really happy.
Tearing off the rags and rags on his body, changing into a soft and cool brocade green robe, looking at the reflection in the water, Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but be in a trance, and he didn't know if it was the reason for the green robe, or a momentary illusion, he felt that he was a lot more mature, especially the cyan fluff above his lips and chin, which made him add a bit of maturity.
"Hehe, hey, he's got a long beard! When the big baby sees it, she will die of envy. Zhang Xiaopaw rubbed his chin happily, and his movements were gentle, as if he was caressing a girl's hair, for fear of falling off or breaking one.
Zhang Xiaopaw found a piece of cloth, wet it in the river, wiped Qi Rong'er's face and hands, then packed up his things, carried Qi Rong'er and ran to the periphery of the Black Forest. The demon beasts in the depths are infested, which is really dangerous, so it is safer to stay on the periphery.
......
The scorching sun is setting in the west, and dusk has arrived.
Five bonfires were erected on the top of the hill on the west side of Reed Lake, each with a simple wooden grill on which large pieces of lean meat were skewered. Under the high temperature baking, large drops of fat slide off the meat and drip into the flames below, making a series of sizzling sounds.
The meat is not yet cooked, but the air is already filled with an enticing aroma that makes people swallow.
Under a tall arbor tree next to it, more than ten people worked together to open a huge animal skin, its hair was soft and dense, the color was colorful and translucent, the black and yellow stripes were like painted satin, and the thick tail was full of black rings, like a steel whip, and the white forehead was marked with the big "king" markings, which showed that this was a tiger's skin.
"Slow down, slow down. Hold on to the left and loosen a little on the right. Up, up, on. "One man commanded the others under the tree to hang the huge tiger skin from the trunk so that it could be dried.
"Next month is the birthday of the lord of the city, and this tiger skin is the most suitable birthday gift. Duan Baifei stood not far from the tree, shaking the folding fan in his hand, admiring the huge tiger skin hanging up, and said.
"The tail of the beard is five zhang long, and the three-zhang tiger skin of the Bai family is like a child in front of it, and when the time comes, it will be able to amaze the Quartet when it is unfolded at the birthday banquet!" Xu Murong couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, killing the tiger and skinning it also has his share of credit, and he will definitely be able to win the limelight at the birthday banquet when the time comes.
"Thank you for the kindness and gift of the three sons, the little girl is here to thank the three of them for her father!" Qin Xinru bowed to Duan Baifei, Xu Murong and Zhou Jianlai one by one.
"Thank you, three brothers!" her sister Qin Rulan also thanked her.
Duan Baifei also smiled politely: "Hehe, the four of us are all one family, the elders' birthday, we juniors should do our best, don't say the word 'thanks' again." Besides, this tiger skin is not the three of us, but the joint credit of the five of us. ”
"What Brother Duan said is extremely true. Xu Murong said.
"Hmph, it's not happy!" Zhou Jianlai snorted.
"Haha-" Duan Baifei laughed when he heard this, and said, "This giant tiger is rare to see in a hundred years, and such a huge complete tiger skin is so precious, naturally it can't let you swing your sword and slash indiscriminately." ”
When fighting with the giant tiger before, in order to ensure the integrity of the tiger skin, Zhou Jianlai was forced to not use his giant sword, and could only use a pair of hands to fight the giant tiger, which was extremely aggrieved for him.
The other three were also amused, Qin Rulan smiled and said with relief: "Brother Jianlai, don't be depressed, when the green python comes out of the lake tomorrow, we won't do anything, let you fight alone." ”
"Okay!" Zhou Jianlai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This tiger skin is a birthday gift, it's a pity, it's a pity. The white-bearded old man paced forward, looked at the huge tiger skin hanging and shook his head in regret.
Qin Xinru and the five of them couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and said in their hearts, the more expensive the birthday gift, the better, and besides, the one who has a long life is still the lord of a city, how can it be said that it is a pity? Doesn't this mean that the city lord is not worthy of this tiger skin? If this is heard by the city lord, then it will be worth it?
"Haha-" The white-bearded old man knew what the five people were thinking, laughed loudly, and said: "Such a huge tiger skin is really rare, the tiger is rare, so that the demon tiger is extremely rare, "Demon Strange Chronicles" has clouds: the tiger turns into a demon, its shape can reach two zhang, into the small realm, its type can reach four zhang, into the large realm, its type can reach ten zhang, into the king realm, its type can reach a hundred zhang, the heart is wide open, can understand the human language, enter the emperor realm, change his life against the sky. The demon tiger you captured, more than five zhang, its realm is said to have entered the realm for the first time, but with the strength of the five of you, if you really encounter the tiger demon of the realm, there is no strength to fight at all, it can be seen that this tiger demon has not reached the realm, according to the old man's view, this tiger demon should have a special opportunity, such as eating to strengthen the body, If this is the case, then the meat of this demon should be a great tonic, so when the meat is cooked, you young people will have to let me be an old man, I may be able to live for two more days if I eat two more bites. Hey, as I get older, I'm more and more afraid of death. ”
Qin Xinru and the five of them looked at each other when they heard this, and couldn't help but sneer in their hearts: "How greedy is your old man, you are talking so much, do you actually want to say that you want to eat more meat?"
"Elder, are you digressing?" Qin Xinru wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and reminded the white-bearded old man, and at the same time muttered in his heart: "I have long heard my father complain that the eldest elder is greedy and can eat, it seems to be true." ”
"Ahh I'm old, my memory is poor, and I'm biased when I talk. The white-bearded old man laughed and said, "This tiger skin is more than five feet, which can be owned by the Great Realm Tiger Demon, and the Great Realm Tiger Demon is rare to see in a hundred years, so you can imagine how precious your tiger skin is." It would be a waste to take such a precious treasure as a birthday gift. The old man has a suggestion for you, why don't you sell it to the city lord in exchange for cultivation resources that are useful to you. Praise and praise are just to satisfy vanity, and how can cultivation be improved. ”
"Ahem-" The word "sell" caught Xu Murong off guard and choked on saliva.
The other four also stared at the white-bearded old man in disbelief with wide eyes, if it weren't for the fact that his appearance of immortal wind bones was still there, they would all think that this bad old man in front of them was a mercenary.
