Chapter 496: A Basket of Human Heads
In order to make it easier to call him, Xu Ning and Yan Bing planned to give Hercules a new name, but after thinking about it a lot, they felt that it was inappropriate, and finally called him "Dali", which was simple and clear.
Along the way, such a simple-minded and well-developed person followed, and he didn't feel bored, but the speed of progress was much slower. There are two reasons, one of which is that Dali has not practiced any martial arts, and he doesn't know what flying martial arts are at all, so he can only run on the road with two legs, which of course can't keep up with Xu Ning and Yan Bing. The second reason is because Xu Ning himself also needs time to recover, and this time the injury is too strict.
The power of the seals in the bodies of Zhong Feng and Zhong Sha was not wasted at all before they were wiped out, all of them were consumed on their own bodies, which was equivalent to Xu Ning being one to two, and he played with his life with two martial powerhouses who lived in the past, and his internal organs, bones, meridians, and blood vessels all produced cracks of different degrees.
Especially the heart part, during the big spin, the heart almost flew out of the chest cavity! The ribs were almost crushed into powder by the heart, but fortunately, at the most critical time, the strength in the bodies of Zhong Feng and Zhong Sha was exhausted.
So in the first three days, the three of them basically walked, and after finding a place to stay before dark, they stopped, Xu Ning seized the time to recover, and vigorously hurried to eat.
It is worth mentioning that the physical consumption of Dali is indeed amazing, and the energy contained in the tapocus is almost consumed by him after a day, Yan Bing quietly told Xu Ning that Dali's body is also extraordinary, but her heart has not yet been found out.
However, it's just about eating. Xu Ning can still satisfy him. Although Dali is reckless in temperament, if he is well guided, there will be absolutely no danger. As for the future, if possible, find him a safe place, it is best to have someone to take him in, and if there is no one to take him in, he will take him back to Qingfeng City and let him stay with his demon beast brothers.
It took four or five days for Xu Ning to gradually feel that the aura was no longer running around, and he no longer had that feeling of suffocation when he spoke, and the martial vein source god, which had been unstable, began to resume normal operation. Because of the reason for the recovery of the body. Xu Ning didn't pay attention to the time. I walked for a while, but after dark, I realized that there was no place to stay around.
"Brother Xu Ning, it seems that I am going to sleep out tonight." Yan Bing looked at the sun that was about to set and said.
"It's all my fault." Xu Ning said with annoyance.
"Don't blame yourself too much. Nothing more than a night outside. It's nothing. On weekdays, when I was collecting medicine from the Yan tribe. Occasionally, I don't want to go back, and I will sleep in the mountains and forests. ”
"That's different, the Yan tribe is surrounded by enchantments. It's a wilderness here, and we're not familiar with it, so I didn't plan it well! Be careful! ”
Xu Ning sighed, and a fire had already been lit on the side of the road.
Xu Ning smiled dumbly, it seems that the education in the past few days has taken effect, he will finally use flint, and gradually learn to integrate into the crowd from the state of a wild man, this is the first step.
Look at the afterglow in the west, the sun will sink completely in a short time.
The three of them sat down on the side of the road and relaxed their bodies, overall, this day did not consume too much strength for Xu Ning.
After sitting vigorously on the ground, he began to eat one thing.
Yan Bing said that his system was special, and now Xu Ning believed that no matter how much he ate, his body had not changed much, perhaps because his physique was already relatively large.
Following Xu Ning, he naturally had meat to eat, and he didn't go through a town or wine shop, what he had to do before leaving was to buy him enough things, and gradually Xu Ning also handed over to Dali how to use gold coins to buy things, instead of grabbing things when he saw them.
The sky was completely dark, dark clouds covered the stars in the sky, and there was no moon. On the side of the road in the wilderness, a large bonfire was the absolute focal point, and the trunk of a whole tree was smashed with great force, and when it was erected, it was piled with dry pine branches, and the flames were almost as tall as a house.
Firelight has a great protective function, and beasts that are accustomed to attacking at night will dodge when they see scorching flames. After tidying up the ground a little, Yan Bing dozed off, and as for the vigorous force, he could eat and sleep, picked up the water hyacinth and drank half of it in one go, patted his stomach and lay on the ground with a golden knife and snored.
Xu Ning was helpless, took off his clothes to help Yan Bing cover it, picked up another branch, and extinguished part of the bonfire, the fire was too big, in case the wind rose overnight, it was easy to set fire to the mountain.
It's not uncommon to sleep in the wild, I've experienced a harsher environment, but I don't feel good today, the sky is too dark, and the surroundings are too dark, and the light of the bonfire can only shine out about seven or eight feet, and then outward, but it will limit my vision.
I don't know why, this kind of thick darkness gives Xu Ning a sense of danger.
In the unseen corner, there is always a dangerous beast, or something more ferocious than the beast.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pick up a sturdy wooden stick from the ground, cut off the branches and leaves on it with his hands, and rubbed his fingers together to form a sharp javelin. If you feel that something is wrong, you can also insert the other party at once.
Looking at the dancing firelight, Xu Ning felt some flowers in front of him, and quickly turned his gaze to the darkness in the distance.
People have the experience that if you keep your eyes on the fire for too long, you can't see anything far away, and it takes a long time to get used to that darkness. In order not to affect his vision, Xu Ning simply closed his eyes.
"Stomp! Stompe! ”
The five senses of a person are very balanced, and when one aspect is weakened, the other will be strengthened. Closing his eyes, Xu Ning's ears were propped up, and the clear footsteps on the ground in the distance reached his ears without leaking!
He opened his eyes suddenly, clenched his homemade javelin in his hand, and calculated how long it would take that pace to reach him.
Use the breath to sense, at most it will not exceed ten zhang. And at this distance, as long as the opponent is an ordinary master, he can quickly attack. Xu Ning must be within the range of his breath sensing to judge whether he has malicious intent and what his ability is, and then decide whether to make a move.
After waiting for a long time, it was already past the time I expected, and there was nothing in the darkness except for the rabbit that had been frightened.
"Well, maybe it's been too much lately. A little paranoid. Xu Ning threw the wooden stick in his hand into the fire. I'm also going to sit down and squint for a while.
"Stomp! Stompe! ”
This time, you don't have to listen carefully at all, the sound is about ten feet!
Your uncle, are you kidding me, I just threw the stick in and burned you out! Xu Ning was already a little nervous. A fist-sized pebble was pulled out of the ground. Raise your hand and throw it out!
"Whoosh!"
It doesn't matter what you are. Smash it and talk about it!
Xu Ning, who was sitting next to the fire, didn't look at it, his eyes staring at the location where he hit.
"Smack!"
The voice was very soft, and Xu Ning sighed in his heart. The sound is definitely not normal. If it's a concentrated appearance or a rock, the sound should be loud. If it hits the animal's body, it should also make a howling sound.
It was obviously hit by something like flesh and skin, but there was no shouting in all directions, which could only explain one problem.
He caught the stone.
That is, the other party is alone!
Thinking of this, Xu Ning was already about to summon the Coiling Dragon Sword from the otherworldly space.
"Haha, this benevolent brother, I saw a person dozing off here from a distance, but I didn't expect my hearing to be good!"
A man's voice came from the darkness, his steps were steady and his breath was deep, but the frequency of his heartbeat was low.
If he shows up and greets him, it means that he doesn't intend to be his enemy. Xu Ning stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a slight smile: "I'm sorry, I thought it was some kind of beast." ”
"It's okay." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the stone fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
This height has fallen, even porcelain can't be broken, and it seems that this person's hand strength is not small. Xu Ning smiled slightly, made a gesture of please, looked at Yan Bing who was asleep and snoring vigorously, and took the initiative to take a few steps towards the other party.
The visitor was wearing a very old gown, with a hat covering his face on his head, and he seemed to be carrying a big burden behind his back. He didn't carry a weapon on his body, but he had a bulging pocket around his waist, and it was a long strip, so he was supposed to hide something.
As soon as he arched his hand, the man revealed the bandages wrapped around his arms, layer by layer, and his palms were so wide that even his fingers were bandaged.
"It's a lot of trouble."
"You're welcome!" Xu Ning also gave up his hand, but quickly hid his hand behind his back.
"This brother, it looks like you're going to Trilateral City!" The man smiled and removed his hat.
"This ...... How did you know I was going to Trilateral City?! Xu Ning was a little nervous and asked.
"Haha, it seems that Brother Xu is here for the first time, this road has been going down, and after the mountain in front, there is only one city, which is the three-sided city! If you want to go to other provinces, you have to go to the trilateral city to get the approval of the government office! ”
Xu Ning nodded slightly, I see.
"I thought I was the only one who missed the stay, but I didn't expect to meet someone of the same sex, which was a real honor. Haven't consulted your brother's daimyo yet? ”
"Oh...... In Xia Xuning, those are two of my friends. ”
"It turned out to be Brother Xu, in Xia Mu Xuefeng."
"I don't know what happened to Brother Mu, you went to Trilateral City?"
"Oh, I'm on my way." Mu Xuefeng said and unloaded the package he was carrying behind him, and put it on the ground heavily, Xu Ning immediately smelled blood!
"Whew!"
Xu Ning's body was slightly filled with a stinging aura, murderous and furious!
"It's a bamboo basket, and as for the inside of the bamboo basket...... I think it's better not to say it. Mu Xuefeng said with a smile.
"I think it's better to say it." Xu Ning said coldly.
"If Brother Xu is not afraid, it doesn't matter."
Mu Xuefeng didn't hesitate, opened the package on it, and by the light of the bonfire, Xu Ning could see the contents clearly at a glance, and almost vomited!
A basket of human heads! (To be continued......)
