Chapter 135: Shadows
"No, no, no, the fifth senior sister is the proud daughter of the sky, how can a waste material like me be worthy of her. Liu Hao shook his head again and again after hearing this, his expression was a little overwhelmed,
"Hey, senior brother, don't be presumptuous, how can a person who can break through to the Divine Realm within half a year be a waste material, don't worry, after this task is over, I will help you contact the fifth senior sister." ”
Zhang Xiao was worried that Liu Hao would fall into the previous state of autism and inferiority again, so he hurriedly said kindly.
"Okay, okay, Senior Brother Zhang, don't make fun of me, I'll go back to the room to practice pranayama, and you can rest and recover. ”
Liu Hao saw that Zhang Xiao had a more outrageous posture the more he talked, and hurriedly waved his hand and retreated, although he had overcome his inferiority complex and autism, he never thought of doing anything to the fifth senior sister, because he knew very well in his heart that he and the fifth senior sister had never been a level of people, and there could be no imaginary connection at all.
"Senior Brother Liu, you should also rest. Zhang Xiao raised his hand and clenched his fist, and his body never stood up from the stone pu.
This move does not mean that he has contempt for Liu Hao, but it confirms that the current relationship between the two no longer needs to be proved by ordinary etiquette, and the more casual it is, the more it means that the relationship between the two is very good.
After sending Liu Hao away, Zhang Xiao quickly took out a large number of spirit stones from the space stone and began to recover the spiritual power in his qi sea, after breaking through the Shenxing Realm, he could already use the Taishang Cloud Flow Feather Sutra to slowly recover his spiritual power.
But the current situation does not allow him to do this, the opponent of Black Rock City is not only the group of demon beasts in front of the south gate, but the demon wolf group in the north gate is also an existence that he should pay attention to, so he still has to hurry up and recover his spiritual power.
The moon and the sun alternated, the dawn came, and when the first morning light sprinkled through the clouds on the walls of Black Rock City, Zhang Xiao and Liu Hao rushed out of the room at the same time with a tacit understanding.
Outside the room of the two, Shi Wansan, the city lord of Black Rock City, seemed to be guarding there as expected, and cultivators could not eat and drink without eating, so Zhang Xiao and the others directly followed Shi Wansan into the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Shi Wansan is a somewhat clever person, from the conversation between Zhang Xiao and Liu Hao, he guessed that the relationship between the two must be up and down, very good, so he directly put the chairs where the two sat together, no matter how high or low, it would not hurt the feelings of the two.
After taking a seat, because Liu Hao was on his first travel mission, and he himself was not a person who was good at words, the person who spoke could only be replaced by Zhang Xiao.
And after Zhang Xiao's observation in the north of the city last night and the battle in the south of the city, he had a lot of questions early on, and then directly asked the questions in his heart one by one.
"Stone City Lord, I want to know what is the motive of these demon beasts attacking Black Stone City, could it be that in the vast mountains and forests, there is still no food for them?" Zhang Xiao frowned and asked his first question.
Demon beasts are the same as humans, and most of them are not willing to participate in the battle when they can eat and drink enough, so he can't figure out the purpose of the demon beast last night.
"Little Master, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that even I, a native, don't know much about their motives.
Anyway, it was just one day that the originally clear sky suddenly cast a mysterious shadow, and then those guys were like crazy, attacking together from the north and south of Black Rock City, and the offensive was fierce, and they were about to die with us.
If it weren't for the worship of the dynasty at that time, who temporarily lived here, and rescued the demon beasts when they attacked the city, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand here and talk to you, little master, right now. Shi Wansan made a bitter face, and slowly told everything he knew.
"How often will these demon beasts attack the city?" Zhang Xiao had already guessed that Shi Wansan might not be able to say the answer he wanted before he opened his mouth to ask again, so he was not discouraged, but directly asked the next question.
Only knowing the frequency of the monster beast siege city, he could deduce whether the purpose of these monster beasts attacking the city was to be too hungry to get food, or just because they were idle and in a bad mood and wanted to fight with Black Rock City.
"I'll come here about once in about two or three days, and if it weren't for the fact that the walls of Blackstone City are all made of special black stone, I'm afraid it would have collapsed early. ”
When he heard this question, Shi Wansan thought for a long time before nodding solemnly, and from his expressions, Zhang Xiao and Liu Hao could see a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives.
After last night's battle, Zhang Xiao already knew Shi Wansan's cultivation realm, judging by the normal situation, only Shi Wansan, who had the strength of the Qi Abyss Realm, could survive safely under the attack of the demon beast group with the demon pill, how much favor and luck Xuantian gave him.
"In addition to the group of demon beasts led by the light tigers on the southern city wall, are there any other demon beast forces. After sighing, Zhang Xiao thought for a moment and then asked again.
Before doing a mission, he had to know what kind of situation he might face during the mission, because he never liked to do something unprepared.
"No, there are only two demon beast groups in the south and north, but compared to the messy demon beast groups in the south, the group of demon wolves in the north is very powerful, and the little master should be careful at that time, don't be hurt by those demon wolves. After Shi Wansan said that, he hurriedly reminded that if a disciple of the Yunliu Sect was injured in Black Stone City, he would not be able to do it.
Although the demon beasts in front of the south gate have a tiger as the leader of the king of beasts, but because of their different types, there is no tacit understanding when attacking the city, and it is very messy, so there is no need to be afraid.
But those demon wolf groups in front of the north city gate can't allow him to ignore it, there are few wolves in the mountains, and it is even rarer to be able to gather so many demon wolf groups, plus the head wolf is properly commanded, so every time the north gate of Black Rock City is attacked, compared to the south gate, the price they have to pay is greater.
After listening to Shi Wansan's words, Zhang Xiao did not ask directly again, but frowned and fell into contemplation.
With the experience left by the previous two missions, he is now no longer one-sided when thinking about problems, but more deeply wants to deduce the real purpose hidden behind the events from what happened on the surface.
Although this move is redundant, he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what happens, and Zhang Xiao is not a pedantic person, he does not have to be so iron-clad that every time he encounters something, he has to deduce the deeper purpose behind it, he only needs to deduce it.
For example, this time the demon beast group attacked the city, from Shi Wansan's words, he had already concluded that there must be a deeper reason behind this, and that mysterious shadow was a very key factor.
