Chapter 15: The Thief
Tianxing, the village chief, Uncle Werther and the others had a simple lunch, packed up their things, got on the ox cart, and went out of the city on the way home.
It's been four years since I last walked this path to participate in the Dou Qi and Magic Test, and time really slipped away in a snap of a finger, and I felt a little emotional.
These four years were very crucial for Tianxing, solving the problem of insufficient understanding and cultivation of this continent.
Through reading a large number of books, I learned that the Eternal Day Empire was divided into thirteen kingdoms. Kingdoms are under the rule of the Empire, but not all kingdoms are on good terms because they belong to the same Empire.
On the contrary, many kingdoms often go to war with each other for some historical reasons or for competing for resources. As long as it is not a war to destroy the country, the Eternal Day Empire will generally not care too much.
The Sunset Kingdom is located in the northernmost part of the Eternal Sun Empire. Further north of the Sunset Kingdom is the boundless Dragon Forest, which is said to be home to orcs further north.
To the west of the Sunset Kingdom is the Xijon Kingdom, which also belongs to the Eternal Sun Empire, which has been in a hostile relationship with the Sunset Kingdom since its founding.
Twenty years ago, in order to fight for Youzhou, a big war broke out between the two countries, and in the end, both countries lost their elites and suffered great losses.
I heard the village chief Werther talk about it: Carter, the father of Tianxing at that time, also participated in this big battle.
Neither the village chiefs, Werther, nor Carter were willing to recall and mention the details.
In terms of cultivation, yesterday from the tendon refining stage to the bone refining stage, there was no breakthrough in strength at any time, but the body's muscle groups have a stronger ability to regulate and have greater potential.
Purely in terms of strength, the nine-year-old Tianxing is about the same as an ordinary adult male, and it is only 500 catties of strength, but this refers to the weight-bearing force of resisting, pulling, and pushing.
If you attack with punches or legs, the force of the attack will be much greater than this value. It can mobilize the muscles of the whole body to coordinate the force and send out the integration force.
When you reach the peak of the day after tomorrow, the same physical fitness will be even more terrifying to mobilize the strength of the whole body.
The ox cart slowly winds along the winding mountain road. The furs that came to the county to sell furs this time are all adults in the village, and they are all hunters who have hunted wild beasts since childhood, so they don't have to worry about safety.
Therefore, the road is also faster, and I will not choose relatively safe camping. No blind beast will come, and it is just right to open the meat.
As for the mountain bandits and robbers, they also watch people cook, typical bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, no one will die because of eating.
When it gets dark, it is about fifty miles away from Chengcheng at this time, relatively speaking, because it is very close to the county seat, few wild beasts and mountain bandits appear.
So today the village chief just arranged for two people to keep vigil. As a young boy who was arranged in the middle of the circle surrounded by ox carts, Tianxing was not asleep, but was practicing breathing and breathing, and now the quality of sleep was very high, only five or six hours were enough.
In the primeval forest full of various trees and flowers, there is a feeling of being in nature, and the whole body and mind are very comfortable and smooth.
I was going to go to sleep after the second half of the night when I was going to practice, but the cultivation time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was the second half of the night, and I was about to sleep after finishing my work.
There was a slight sound of a footstep breaking a dry branch, and then there was no sound again.
If it had been placed a day earlier, even if Tianxing heard this sound, it would have dried up as a small animal or a tree branch. Now you can clearly hear the difference, it must have been trampled on, and it was trampled on by a large animal or a person.
Now it is only a few dozen miles away from the county seat, and the possibility of a large beast appearing is very small. Then the biggest possibility is people, sneaking up in the middle of the night must have an ulterior motive.
However, the other party did not move anything else after the sound, obviously afraid of being discovered, indicating that it was not a multi-person group action, but most likely an individual or a small group action.
The village chief and his entourage came to sell the furs that the entire village had stored for half a year, and all the stores were a lot of income for the whole village.
For individuals or small groups, it is a lot of income. It's not hard to understand why people are worried about it and track it into the wild.
It is not difficult to understand why you don't wait to continue to go deeper before acting, there are many beasts in the mountains and forests, and the mountain bandits and robbers are more rampant, so there will be a lot more vigilance at night, and it will be more difficult to act at that time.
Tianxing judged that it was likely to be an individual or a small group, so he didn't wake up the rest of the people, wanting to see how his own abilities were now.
Continue to lie down and pretend to sleep, about ten minutes later.
I heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching from the direction of the sound of the broken branch just now. The sound stopped when it got closer, and it was estimated that someone was observing.
A moment later, the judge's footsteps sounded again, and he heard that he was touching in the direction of the village chief on the right.
Tianxing opened his eyes and saw a bent figure with his back to him, less than three meters away, which was the right distance for an attack.
At the moment when the thief got up, he stood up violently, and at the same time stood up, his left foot violently pushed the thief three meters away, and kicked out with his right foot, kicking the back of the thief's knee socket, and at the same time punching the back of the thief's head.
The moment Tianxing stood up, the thief heard the movement and turned around sharply to make defensive movements. However, he found that the attack of the incoming person was too timely, and the attack launched in the interval when he raised his foot, no matter how fast he was, he had to wait for his foot to hit the ground before he could make a move.
When he landed and made a move, he would take a step slower, and the moment the thief turned around, Tianxing's attack arrived, and the right foot was originally kicked to the knee socket, because the thief turned around and became a kneecap, and the right fist was originally an attack on the back of the head, because the thief turned around and his waist stood up and became a chest.
The attacks of the feet and fists hit the thief almost simultaneously, and at the same time the thief's body lit up with a pale yellow light, which was especially striking in the dark night.
It felt like hitting hard soil, two dull sounds, two attacks, and the thief didn't move.
Almost at the same time as the thief was hit, a second attack ensued. The left hand punches straight into the thief's throat, and then kicks out the right foot to the ground, and the left kick kicks out a fan-shaped whip leg that looks like the middle of the thief's thigh.
Either of the left hand straight punch and the left leg will be either killed or maimed. The thieves didn't expect the second round of attacks to be so fast, and the quick transition of the attack defied common sense.
There was no time to make an effective fighting move, and the left hand punched straight into the thief's throat trachea, and the left whip leg also hit the middle of the thief's right thigh, which is where the thigh plexus is most abundant, and once it is hit hard, the right leg is destroyed.
The pale yellow light lit up again, and two dull sounds like hammers smashing the ground sounded.
Seeing that the two attacks were ineffective again, he knew that he could not break through the thieves' defenses at the moment. A fish jumped sideways and rolled to the side, and then flashed again and shouted, "There is a thief stealing something, everyone get up." ”
The thief, who had been attacked by two rounds, was about to fight back, when he saw the attacker quickly dodge to the side and leave the attack range.
When he was about to catch up, he heard a shout, so he had no choice but to stop the pursuit. Inevitably, he was trapped in the middle and became a target, so he could only jump into the mountains and forests next to him. Soon disappeared into the darkness and jumped into the mountains and forests.
I heard the voice of the thief in my ear, "Little one, you will attack me if you are bad or good, and the next time you see it will be your death." ”
It's a long story, but it's actually only two or three seconds from the attack to the thief's escape.
By this time, everyone had woken up, and were looking for and guarding against the thieves with weapons in hand.
"Tianxing, are you alright?" said Village Chief Werther with some eager concern.
"Uncle Werther, I'm fine, I just let the thief escape, and my attack can't break the thief's defenses and keep the thief. He turned to Uncle Werther and said.
"It's okay, you can't break the thieves' defenses, what's going on?" you tell me more about what just happened," Uncle Witt said with some confusion.
Tianxing told Werther what had just happened in detail without falling into detail.
"Tianxing, you are too risky this time, fortunately you are fine, otherwise how can I explain to your father. This thief is a fighter and has the ability to use fighting energy, according to what you said, the thief is able to defend two places at the same time, and it is very likely that he is above the intermediate fighter or even the intermediate fighter, which is not something you can deal with. Witt was a little frightened when he heard Tianxing's words.
I see, no wonder when I attacked, there was a pale yellow light, and it turned out to be a fighter. Tianxing thought in his heart.
