Chapter 8: Warning (II)
His face was as calm as water, and this news did not surprise Xiao Jiu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I see."
The hall was a little empty, with only one or two people sitting in groups.
"It's time to break through to the third order." Xiao Jiu looked at a black pill in front of him and made up his mind.
This pill was only the size of an ordinary ping-pong ball, and it looked very ordinary, but it was made by Xiao Jiu from Tianlian Grass and Baidanhua worth more than two million silver coins.
Without a hint of hesitation, he picked up the pill and swallowed it directly.
A faint cool sensation spread from Xiao Jiu's tongue to the esophagus and slowly spread to the stomach. Then, instead of the coolness, streams of heat surged up like a warm fire, flowing into Xiao Jiu's heart, slowly transforming into a pain like a knife.
"What a domineering medicinal power!" Feeling the magic power in his body, growing at a speed that could be felt, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but grit his teeth and said.
Before, he could only feel the existence of magic power, but now, he sensed the magic power in his body, and it was about to turn into substance.
Countless sweat appeared on his forehead, and near his temples, a few snake-like green tendons gushed out, his fists were clenched tightly, Xiao Jiu's heart seemed to be scraped with a knife, and it was like someone piercing it with a needle.
The rapid expansion of magic is a heavy burden on the heart; Most magicians, in such a promotion, will suffer internal injuries to a greater or lesser extent, and some cases are even life-threatening.
For example, the current Xiao Jiu.
The insight eye opened, Xiao Jiu glanced at his heart, and only saw that some cracks had appeared in a certain blood vessel above, and one or two of the important acupoints were torn apart by the domineering magic. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"A magician who has just entered the second order really can't easily break through!" A flash of realization flashed in his heart!
With such a serious injury, if it were an ordinary magician, he would definitely not survive!
But Xiao Jiu was not an ordinary person, he gritted his teeth and silently recited some incantations in his heart.
Vitality!
In an instant, a faint green light directly appeared on the surface of his body and spread into the air. Inside, where the heart is torn, a terrifying vitality emerges, repairing at an alarming rate.
Another sharp pain came from his chest, and the magic power surging like a tide once again hit Xiao Jiu's repaired wound!
Vitality!
Xiao Jiu's mind moved, and he once again blessed himself with a burst of vitality.
The heart was rejuvenated as if it had been moistened with holy water, and some subtle wounds began to stop expanding.
Within two or three minutes, Xiao Jiu continued to use vitality techniques to repair his heart wounds.
Five minutes later.
The main wounds in his body have been healed.
Half an hour later.
Xiao Jiu, who had consumed the last trace of magic power in his body, only felt that his body was endlessly tired.
"Finally succeeded......" Before falling asleep, a smile appeared on Xiao Jiu's face.
――――――
"Ninth Master, you should get up." Eleven's voice seemed to come from far away.
Xiao Jiu slowly opened his eyes and saw endless pitch black. In the shimmer of the moon shining through the window, Eleven Lang stood like a pine, and the outline of his face looked unreal.
"Turn on the lights." His lips were a little chapped, Xiao Jiu stretched out his somewhat stiff body, and said.
There was a soft snap, and the lights in the hall turned on. On the wall, an old brass clock was ticking, pointing to eight o'clock.
Xiao Jiu said: "It seems that I haven't slept for long. ”
He made the breakthrough at five o'clock in the afternoon, and now it was eight o'clock, but he had slept for two and a half hours.
"Twenty-seven hours is indeed not a long time for the nearly 100 years of your human life." Eleven Lang handed over a glass of water and said.
"Twenty-seven hours, I slept twenty-seven hours?" Xiao Jiu said with some surprise.
"Yes. Tomorrow the US military will conduct military exercises on Solomon Island. Ninth Master, I think you should make some preparations, so I woke you up. ”
"You're doing the right thing." Xiao Jiu took a sip of water and said.
Now, he has not yet learned the third-order magic "Whirlwind Technique".
"Keep on guard, and don't let anyone disturb me."
"Understood."
The next day.
There was a hint of fish belly white in the sky, and the chirping of unknown seabirds could be heard outside the window.
When the first rays of sunlight shone into the room from the windowsill, Xiao Jiu slowly opened his eyes, and his face looked confident and determined.
Whirlwind, done!
"Now, it's time for the superpowers to pay something!" Xiao Jiu said coldly.
Port of Morr.
After a restless night's sleep, Rakki woke up early and headed straight from the prime minister's office to the military airport.
Today is the day of the U.S. military's military exercise on neighboring Solomon Island, and at the invitation of General Joris, he will observe the exercise up close.
Next to the jungle, on the airport.
Rakki rendezvoused with General Sloan and boarded a helicopter.
"Have you contacted Mr. Xiao?" Facing the former political enemy, Raki asked.
"Nope." Sloane, known as the iron-blooded general, has a lot of bloodshot in his eyeballs, and obviously didn't sleep very well last night, "Last night, when I contacted Eleven Lang for the last time, he said that Mr. Xiao was resting and didn't have time to reply to us. ”
A hint of despair appeared on Laki's face: "God, are you going to abandon our new country?" ”
Judging from such an attitude, Xiao Jiu is likely to compromise.
If he compromises, the Duman iron ore will most likely be lost; At that time, the new Pakistan country, which has lost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in revenue every year, will fall back into the poverty it used to be.
"He might be abandoning us." Sloane's face turned grim and he said.
Some time ago, he stood firmly on Hsiao's side, and it is conceivable that after Hsiao makes concessions, the United States will definitely liquidate these "pro-Hsiao factions."
On the sea, the tide rises and falls, the tide rises and falls, and the tide rises and falls.
Several warship islands streaked across the blue sky, and on the sea, the USS Denver was anchored motionless.
The helicopter slowly descended onto the deck, Sloane and Rakhi's hair blown loose in the gale of the wings.
"Prime Minister Rakhi, General Sloane." The commander of the kangaroo country looked at the two of them a little embarrassed, and smiled: "The military exercise will start in an hour and a half, please come with me." ”
At one of the pods' side, Joris stood like a pine, nodding slightly at Rakki and Sloane, looking superior.
"Wait a minute, you guys, and I'll like to watch a play." The commander of the Kangaroo Country laughed and said, "Your Chinese friend warned us the day before yesterday that he would launch an attack on our combined fleet during this military exercise. ”
