Chapter 39: The Divine Messenger
Hungry, very hungry, he couldn't feel the presence of his stomach, and Zhang Yuan was surrounded by hunger. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was hiding in an abandoned bus, pressing his stomach while carefully observing a supermarket on the side of the road through the broken window.
But Zhang Yuan knew that this was a monster's lair, and according to his observations, the monster would leave the supermarket to hunt at a fixed time every day, and he was now waiting for the monster to leave and sneak into the supermarket to look for food.
But today, for some reason, the monster did not appear for a long time, and the hunger in his stomach became more and more intense, Zhang Yuan felt a little dizzy, lowered his head and closed his eyes and half leaned on the chair, just begging the monster to go out quickly, so that he could eat a big meal.
"Roar!" A low roar sounded, and the roar that had made Zhang Yuan's heart tremble in the past was like fairy music to Zhang Yuan at this moment. The empty body didn't know where to give birth to a strength, Zhang Yuan quickly turned down the seat, half-knelt on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head and didn't dare to breathe, took out the mirror that had been prepared and lifted it little by little, slowly adjusted the angle, Zhang Yuan could clearly see the supermarket door from the mirror.
First, two fires slowly appeared in the darkness, the firelight slowly floated, the face was hideous, and the head with fangs appeared in the mirror.
Although he saw it in the mirror, Zhang Yuan's heart was still like a big stone, his palms were drenched in cold sweat, and the mirror was put down as soon as he breathed, and he held his breath even more, not daring to make the slightest movement.
It felt like centuries had passed, and only the intense hunger in his stomach made Zhang Yuan feel that he still existed in this world. Swallowing his saliva, hoping to soothe his burning stomach, Zhang Yuan still didn't dare to raise his head, and carefully raised the mirror, the door of the supermarket that appeared in the mirror was empty, that terrible monster should be gone, right? Zhang Yuan thought.
But for the sake of safety, Zhang Yuan still decided to observe for a while, and such caution allowed him to live to this day. After another long while, he couldn't bear the growing hunger, and Zhang Yuan slowly crawled towards the car door. When he arrived at the car door, Zhang Yuan carefully looked left and right, but there was no movement around.
"! Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted! Lao Tzu would rather die to the death. Zhang Yuan really couldn't stand the strong hunger, cursed in his heart, and rushed to the supermarket.
"Whew... Call... Call. It seems very simple, Zhang Yuan held on to the counter, gasping for air, this feeling of wandering between life and death made people's hearts pound. Relieving his breath, Zhang Yuan prepared to walk towards the supermarket.
"Wow~" Like sharp nails scratching the blackboard, a tooth-sour voice came from behind Zhang Yuan.
"No... No way. Zhang Yuan froze, his heart beat wildly, he turned his head with difficulty, and saw that the monster was lying on the roof of the bus, elegantly stretching out a claw, gently scratching the iron roof, looking bored. The monster stared at Zhang Yuan, who was standing still, with a cruel look in his eyes that was very human, like a cat and mouse, jumped off the roof of the car, arched himself, and stretched like a cat.
Zhang Yuan seemed to be stunned, and he didn't dare to make the slightest movement when he watched the monster's series of movements, until the monster in front of him walked slowly, he reacted, took out a watermelon knife from his waist, held the knife tightly with both hands, and his face turned pale.
Seeing that the food in front of him seemed to be about to resist, the monster opened its bloody mouth and continued to slowly step forward while roaring.
Zhang Yuan couldn't stand this pressure and shouted, "Ah! you! "Rushing forward with a watermelon knife. A look of disdain flashed in the monster's eyes, and he gently dodged Zhang Yuan on one side, and with a twitch of his tail, Zhang Yuan flew to the side of the bus, and the watermelon knife hit the body with a "bell" and was bounced several meters away.
Zhang Yuan fell to the ground, feeling that not a single bone in his body was intact, especially the burning pain in his chest. It seems that he is going to die here today, Zhang Yuan groaned weakly, looked at the watermelon knife flying into the distance, and closed his eyes with a wry smile. Dad, Mom, wife, Kiki, I'm here to accompany you. Thinking of his family, Zhang Yuan had no sorrow or joy in his heart, and he didn't know what to fear about death.
Seeing that the prey in front of him was so fragile that it fell to the ground with just a light blow, the monster felt bored, and let out a low roar in his throat, hoping that Zhang Yuan would stand up. But to its disappointment, Zhang Yuan had completely lost his sense of resistance and did not move.
Seeing that the prey was so uncompromising, the monster became angry, stood up and was about to step forward to end Zhang Yuan's life, seeing that things were about to run according to the established trajectory, but the monster suddenly twitched his ears, the hair on his back was upside down, and he jumped up high, and a thumb-thick hole appeared in place silently.
"Woo~" The monster looked at the source of the crisis and let out a low roar.
Zhang Yuan heard that the situation seemed to be taking a turn for the better, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the terrible monster half-crouching to the side, looking as if it was facing a great enemy. Zhang Yuan looked in the direction and saw a young god dressed casually carrying a long sword, holding an unknown monster that looked like a horse in his hand.
The monster dodged, dodging all the beams, and turned into a black lightning bolt and ran towards the youth, "Be careful! Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shout, and the young man didn't panic when he saw this, and gently pulled out the long sword on his back.
"It's over, it's over." Zhang Yuan felt a wail in his heart, he had witnessed more than a dozen survivors with machetes and steel rods trying to face this monster, but they were slaughtered without even touching a single hair of the monster, that hellish scene and the desperate strength of the monster left a deep imprint on Zhang Yuan's heart. At this time, seeing that the young man did not immediately dodge and open the distance to take advantage of his long-range advantage, but instead pulled out his long sword and wanted to fight in close combat, in Zhang Yuan's heart, the young man would definitely die, and the hope that had just arisen was shattered, Zhang Yuan closed his eyes again.
"Wind Shadow Leopard (Green Elite)"
Mastery Skill: Wind Blade
Light Spirit
The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.
Looking at the Wind Shadow Leopard rushing in front of him, Ji Yuan's anti-heart sword in his hand hung low, the ancient well in his heart was waveless, and his face sank like water. Gently handing over the long sword in his hand, he accurately stabbed the weak point of energy in the wind blade spit out by the Wind Shadow Leopard, without the slightest fluctuation of Yuan Force, and there was no move, just a simple hand without a little fireworks, and the wind blade "popped" with a soft sound, dissipating into the air.
The Wind Shadow Leopard's pupils shrank sharply, and he found that the human in front of him was not easy to mess with, and he had the urge to escape, but at this time, the arrow was ready to fly, and he had to send it. As soon as the Wind Shadow Leopard's thought moved, a wave of energy escaped from the magic crystal, and its limbs surrounded a cyan air current, which was a little faster.
"Light Spirit?" Ji Yuan was a little interested, the natural magic effects of Warcraft are very powerful, Ji Yuan has seen a spell similar to that of the human inheritor in the Thunder Cliff, and the effect is far less than the light spirit technique released by this Wind Shadow Leopard. But Ji Yuan only mentioned some interest slightly, starting from the Thunder Cliff through the prairie all the way to here, countless battles of all sizes broke out every day along the way, Ji Yuan's strength and combat skills have been rapidly improved, and a small green high-level demonic beast is nothing. The lion fights the rabbit, and it also takes all its strength. Ji Yuan naturally wouldn't take it lightly, whether it was the demonic beast or the bloody lessons he had received along the way, he couldn't lift a sense of pride and complacency.
The Wind Shadow Leopard jumped violently and pounced on Ji Yuan, who was motionless. In mid-air, the speed skyrocketed a few points out of thin air under the impetus of the cyan air current, which was exactly the energy use technique that the Wind Shadow Leopard itself had explored in the long-term battle, and I don't know how many demonic beasts stronger than the Wind Shadow Leopard hated the claws because of the light enemy. Seeing that the claws were about to tear the throat of the human in front of him, the demonic beast was secretly happy in his heart, but he saw the long sword in the hand of the human in front of him turn into a streamer of light and attack his claws.
"Whew!" A cry of pain, Zhang Yuan listened to the sound like the screams of the monster instead of the wails of imaginary humans, right? Zhang Yuan muttered and opened his eyes, only to see the terrible monster lying on the ground, half of its right paw was gone, and blue blood was bubbling out, wailing loudly, trying to shrink back, and standing up with difficulty to prepare to escape. And the long sword in the hand of the young man who was certain to die in Zhang Yuan's eyes hung diagonally, and the tip of the sword dripped.
Seeing that the monster wanted to escape, the young man did not move, and the monster beside him neighed with pleasure, ran forward, slapped away the wind blade spit out by the injured monster with one claw, and smashed the head of the monster that had no time to dodge, the latter's body twitched and stopped moving, and the "horse" skillfully pulled out a green crystal from the head of the corpse on the ground, and rolled its tongue into its mouth, and chewed it like eating jelly beans.
Zhang Yuan was almost stupid, the invincible monster was easily solved by the young man like a weak chicken, and even the "horse" around the young man was so ferocious, Zhang Yuan, who reacted, quickly stood up and said in his mouth, "Hero, hero, thank you for saving my life." ”
Ji Yuan looked at the middle-aged man who rushed to his eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle, it's just a gesture, no thanks." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan's heart was full of bitterness and indescribable taste, and the thing that almost killed him was just a gesture in the mouths of others, why did it come to this! Zhang Yuan, who had mixed feelings in his mind, listened to Ji Yuan speak again, "Uncle, what kind of place is this?" ”
"Hero, my name is Zhang Yuan, you can call me Lao Zhang, this is Nanpu Town." Zhang Yuan hurriedly responded.
"Uncle, I'm not a hero, my name is Ji Yuan, this is chasing the wind, what exactly does Nanpu Town belong to? How far is it from the provincial capital? Ji Yuan introduced Chaifeng to Zhang Yuan by the way, Chaifeng knew that he was talking about him, his lips turned out, his teeth were bared, and he said hello to Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan was taken aback.
Zhang Yuan didn't dare to look at the chasing wind anymore, turned his head and replied: "Nanpu Town belongs to Yizhou City, the provincial capital, and it takes more than an hour to get to the city from us by car. ”
"Oh, it's come so far." Ji Yuan calculated the distance, and from the time he left the prairie, it was about hundreds of kilometers.
"Where are you from, Hero?" Hearing this, Zhang Yuan seemed to be not a local.
"I'm from Guazhou, and I'm from Guazhou." There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and Ji Yuan has no intention of lying.
"Guazhou? I've been there, it's quite far. Zhang Yuan knew that it was very dangerous outside now, and since Ji Yuan was able to go all the way from Guazhou to here single-handedly, his strength could be imagined, and Zhang Yuan instantly strengthened the idea of hugging his thighs.
"Hero, I'm most familiar with this land, is there anything I can do to help?" If you want to get it, you must have to pay, and Zhang Yuan understands this truth very well.
"I need to find some supplies now, do you know where they are?" Along the way, Ji Yuan's food and drinking water were prepared in advance and collected along the way, and the clothes on his body were often damaged due to the battle and had to be changed.
"There's a mall in front, it's this monster's lair, and there should be something in it that heroes need." Zhang Yuan said and pointed to the corpse of the Wind Shadow Leopard on the ground.
"Well, okay, I see, thank you Uncle Zhang. Chasing the wind, let's go. Ji Yuan thanked softly and beckoned to chase the wind and walked towards the supermarket. Zhang Yuan, who wanted to hug his thighs, hurriedly followed, touching his rumbling belly, thinking about the food in the supermarket, and his heart was hot.
After Ji Yuan ate and drank enough, the clothes on his body took on a new look, loaded a backpack of water and food, stuffed two sets of clothes by the way, and prepared to walk outside.
"Wait, wait, hero, wait." Seeing this, Zhang Yuan, who was eating and drinking, swallowed the bread in his hand in two bites and chased after him. "Hero, I don't know where you plan to go, you look at this world, I am powerless, can you let me follow? I can help a lot, I'm familiar with the surrounding environment, and I can also help you put up a sentry or something when the hero is resting, absolutely hardworking. Zhang Yuan looked at Ji Yuan expectantly.
"This..."Ji Yuan hesitated a little, it would be too troublesome to bring a person with no combat effectiveness, and it would be affected if there was a battle, but after thinking about it, he also needed a guide to go to the provincial capital from here, and it was already very close to the provincial capital, and it was estimated that the provincial capital had already established a gathering place for survivors, and it would be enough to separate at that time. Thinking of this, Ji Yuan said in a deep voice: "I'm going to the provincial capital, the provincial city should have a large gathering place for survivors, it should be safe for you, but there may be dangers along the way that I can't deal with, are you sure you want to go with me?" ”
"What! A gathering place for survivors? Are you sure? When Zhang Yuan heard the news, he was overjoyed, and quickly nodded in agreement.
Ji Yuan saw Zhang Yuan agree, and emphasized: "But I'll say the ugly words first, you must obey my orders in everything along the way, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you when you encounter danger." ”
"That's nature, don't worry, hero, as long as you point to the east, I will never go west." Zhang Yuan patted his chest and agreed.
"By the way, are you alone in town? What about others? Ji Yuan suddenly remembered this question.
"Alas! Not to mention, the people in the town are almost dead, and there are only a hundred or so people left, all of whom have been taken to the middle school in the town by a person called a divine envoy, and that divine envoy believes in a cult entirely. Zhang Yuan palpitated and swallowed. He continued: "That oracle forced us to believe in a god called Lockdan, if we didn't want to, the men would throw it out to feed the monsters, and the women would be dragged into the room, and the oracles would be rewarded to those believers after they finished, and every once in a while, there would be people who would be taken by the oracle to perform some rituals, and some people would become inhuman, ghosts, and more people would die in the rituals. It turned out that a few officials in the town and a few policemen from the police station wanted to resist, but they were killed by the god using witchcraft without firing a shot, and the rest of the people didn't dare to resist. ”
"Oracle?" Ji Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, this sounded like the handiwork of a god from another world, treating ordinary people so cruelly and bloody, it seemed to be an evil god. This kind of behavior of developing believers among human beings in the name of faith will inevitably become a great problem for human beings, and Ji Yuan immediately decided to eliminate the cult and rescue the ordinary people who were imprisoned.
"Tell me about the oracle and take me to the middle school in town." Ji Yuan immediately made a decision and asked Zhang Yuan to lead the way.
"Hero, don't go, the divine envoy is very terrifying, he knows demon law, let's leave him alone, let's go to the provincial capital quickly." When Zhang Yuan heard that he was going to return to that nightmare place, he was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again to refuse.
"No, you have to take me there, or you'll stay here by yourself." Ji Yuan's face sank, and he stared at Zhang Yuan with wide eyes and bared his teeth in the wind.
"Okay, okay, can't I take you there?" Zhang Yuan looked at Chasing Feng with a hideous appearance of choosing people to devour, his heart jumped in shock, and he had to agree, and began to lead the way in front, and he also had some hope in his heart that Ji Yuan would be able to solve that demon.
