Chapter 16: 'Ability'
'This is it!' Li Tian took care of this slope.
The rocks bulge out and are stacked on a rugged and narrow slope that cannot be passed on either side.
Li Tianzhao jumped onto a tree, and on the branches, through the gaps in the leaves, watched the pursuing enemy come and climb the rugged mountain and stone road.
A group of more than a dozen climbed to the top, and finally a dozen or so people had just reached the bottom of the rocky slope.
There are quite a few people. Li Tianzhao originally wanted to wait a little longer to see if there were any more enemies coming, but among the first people to climb uphill, a few of them were looking around, and their vigilance was quite high.
One of them saw one of Li Tianzhao's eyes in the gap between the branches and leaves.
Li Tianzhao was spotted by him, so he smiled at the man, and then, at the warning sound of the man tearing his throat and shouting, he jumped off the tree and fell down the slope, cutting off the enemy's retreat.
Li Tianzhao's long-suppressed anger ignited and exploded, and he waved his long sword, and his body instantly rolled up the slope like a whirlwind.
The long sword that swung around the body lit up with white light, and the enemies on the stone slope fled in panic, but they could only run up, and there were still people in front, limiting the speed of running in the rear.
Li Tianzhao was like a storm crashing into the crowd, the sword light passed everywhere, the enemy fell one after another, the distance was a little farther, he didn't bother to deliberately get close to the past, and directly slashed on the man's sword, under the advantage brought by the power of the battle seal, the man was shocked by the impact like a broken kite, threw out of the stone slope, fell on the steep mountains on both sides, and rolled down again, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Li Tianzhao's plain cloth and green clothes had already become dark, and then quickly became bloody.
A blood-red whirlwind, a sword shadow of white light, such a two-colored whirlwind swirled up the stone slope and crashed into the enemy group.
Those who touch it are not upside down and flying, and those in the middle see that it is too late to run forward, and they are not opponents when they counterattack, so they simply grit their teeth and jump out of the slope, desperately rolling and falling, which is better than being split in two by the whirlwind of the blade.
As soon as the enemy on the slope was slashed and knocked away by the spinning Li Tianzhao in a while.
The enemies on the slopes quickly scattered, some ran to the higher and flanked forests, some picked a less dangerous downhill woodland and jumped down, and with good luck slid down the mountain with their backs and were injured and scratched by stones, and those who were unlucky tumbled and fell and fell into various shapes.
Some of the more experienced and calm fighters fled and turned around to shoot arrows, but most of them couldn't shoot at all at the targets that were always moving, and a few did, or were knocked away by the spinning sword, or blocked by the white light of the war seal, which could not stop Li Tianzhao's charge at all.
They cooperated well when they were chasing just now, but at this moment, the narrow slope was confined and attacked, the vast majority of people panicked, and a few calm warriors also fell into the embarrassing situation of insufficient strength, knowing that escaping was equivalent to letting go of the enemy, but also because they were unable to break the situation, they had no choice but to run to save themselves.
The slopes of the rocks were full of blood, and the bottom was already covered with blood, and the blood above flowed down the terrain, so that the lower ones did not have time to dry up, and they piled up thicker.
Li Tianzhao slashed down the last slow-running enemy, grabbed the flying arrow, shook his hand and threw it out.
The arrow followed the trajectory of the flight and hit the leg of the enemy who was struggling to retreat, and the man no longer dared to hide and shoot, and hurried to the higher and farther mountain forest in pain.
Li Tianzhao packed up the war seals and weapons, and wrapped a large bundle, although he was not willing to waste any merits, but he couldn't take them all with him, so he only took the weapons and war seals of the enemy's soldiers.
After packing up and bunching up, the wound in his abdomen hurt even more when he carried it on his back, and he frowned, walked up for a while, and walked around the mountain.
The enemies who pursued him suffered heavy casualties, and those who were still alive fled even if they were not seriously injured, and for a while they could not shout to each other with loud sounds, and by the time they gathered again, they had lost the trace of Li Tianzhao.
They were also afraid that they would be ambushed again, so they had to count the casualties, pack up the relics of their companions, and turn back.
Li Tianzhao got rid of the entanglement of the pursuers, found the edge of the stream, cleaned it, ate and drank to his heart's content, dried his clothes, and slept beautifully.
When he woke up, the wound was no longer bleeding, he carried a bundle of loot on his back, walked back and stopped, rested when he was tired, and did not tear the wound again.
The time it took to come back was slower than when he went, and Li Tianzhao took sixteen days.
Early that morning, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a woodcutter standing beside the fire that had not yet been completely extinguished, carrying a few pheasants.
"Hundreds of miles to attack and kill the enemy's border guards, just this one, you Li Tianzhao can be called the number one person. The woodcutter said as he forked the peeled pheasants one by one.
Li Tianzhao happily added firewood to the fire, stared at the delicious ones with bright eyes, and said: "Fame is willing to exchange for pheasants, I only need merit." ”
"Come, and wine. The woodcutter took out a jar, looked at Li Tianzhao's abdomen, and asked with a smile: "This wine, you seem to be injured, do you dare to drink it?"
Li Tianzhao hugged the wine, poured some on the wound, frowned, and immediately smiled and said: "Don't dare to be in the enemy, what dare you not dare to come back?"
He wasn't afraid of getting drunk, and the woodcutter had no reason to be afraid.
The two of them drank wine and ate pheasants, and gradually they talked more.
The only friend who could speak in a lonely environment, coupled with drunkenness, was enough to make Li Tianzhao open his heart.
He talked about this experience, talked about the hundred generals in Nandou Town, and also said that he had never thought about the inexplicable 'soft-heartedness', and the feeling of 'sadness' when he still thinks about it.
The woodcutter listened and smiled, compared to Li Tianzhao's emotional expression, he was very calm and calm. "You call sympathy and sympathy. Many veterans will say, don't try to get to know your enemy, the more you know, the more you understand the other person, and the more painful you will be. But as a fighter, I think you should overcome this as soon as possible. ”
"I'm ashamed, I didn't expect myself to be so weak! My father told me more than once that a warrior must be strong! I failed to live up to his expectations......" Li Tianzhao drank wine, his tone full of self-reproach.
"It's just a process that needs to be done. The woodcutter was not relieved when he saw that Li Tianzhao was not easy, so he said: "The more respectable opponents fall under your sword, the more you should unswervingly continue to move forward." Because, only when you step into the Martial King Palace, can you bring these venerable people back from the dead. If you can't enter the Martial King Palace, maybe no one else can save them. ”
“...... Can the enemy be okay?" Li Tianzhao was slightly stunned, he really hadn't thought about it that way, and he suddenly felt empowered.
"Entering the Martial King Palace, you can resurrect anyone who remembers, and they will often be willing to fight alongside you when they come back from the dead. The woodcutter's affirmation was undoubtedly a great encouragement.
Li Tianzhao's sorrow was swept away, and he immediately perked up, and said with a glittering gaze: "That's great! Yes, the more respectable enemies fall under my sword, the more reason I have to resolutely rush forward and continue fighting! No wonder, no wonder when he died, he said, 'I remember him,' it turned out to be the meaning, as long as I haven't forgotten, I can resurrect him in the future when I enter the Martial King Palace! He is depressed on the side of the Martial King of the Earth, and he is definitely willing to abandon the darkness and serve the Xuantian Martial King!"
Li Tianzhao was very happy, and the woodcutter drank more with him.
So, he drank too much, got drunk, and fell asleep.
But when he returned from hundreds of miles to kill the enemy, why couldn't he get drunk?
At dawn, he found himself sleeping in the woods.
The fire went out for a while, and there was not the slightest heat.
"The woodcutter is gone?" Li Tianzhao sat up, thinking that this wine was indeed very strong, and it was only a small jar, and two people drank it, and they were so drunk that they forgot how to fall asleep.
Li Tianzhao touched the water bag and washed his face upside down.
Suddenly, he stood up sharply and looked around.
Gone!
Without!
Li Tianzhao felt cold in his hands and feet for a moment, and the bundle of loot he brought back was gone!
He couldn't help but think of the scene when he was in Tiancang Mountain, the captain from the Cultivation Hall pretended to be dead and attacked.
That time, it was for merit.
However, the woodcutter is a reclusive master!
How can it be?
Li Tianzhao stretched out his hand into his clothes, and the seal of the mayor of Nandou Town's hundred generals was gone......
This shouldn't be ......
'Could it be that the woodcutter is not a retired master at all?' Li Tianzhao instantly had such suspicions, in this case, then it was a conspiracy to give him 'advice' from the beginning?
No, it shouldn't be ......
"Woodcutter, woodcutter—" Li Tianzhao shouted as he ran through the mountains and forests.
At first, he was hopeful, thinking that something might be nearby, and that when the woodcutter left, he might be afraid that someone would come and help him put it in a hiding spot.
However, he did not find it.
Yes, how could anyone else come to Baishan Town?
'I can't deceive myself!' Li Tianzhao was so sad and indignant, the woodcutter who made him feel so special actually drunk him with wine, and swept away his credit!
"Ahh
'The battle mark of a hundred generals, the merits of a hundred generals! How can I be so careless? The woodcutter told me what kind of friendship he had? How many times have we met? How many words have I said? How can I think that he will not be tempted by such great achievements! Naïve, naïve and naïve!" Li Tianzhao was angry and sad in his heart, and the reason for coming here had not yet been clarified, but it was clearly designed by someone.
The credit for going to the enemy camp alone to fight back, I was expecting to leave here, but I was deceived by someone so simply!
After the indignation, Li Tianzhao was self-reflective.
Finally, he picked up his sword and left the woods where he was drinking.
"Woodcutter! My Li Tianzhao's things are not so easy to grab! Since it is a merit that I have fought hard for, if you want to take it, you have to work hard! Even if you run fast, I want you to repay the merit with your life, and accept the reward if you have no life!" Li Tianzhao calmed down, but he would not let go of the person who took away his merit.
If the woodcutter wants to repay the merits, he will definitely go to the city chief!
When Li Tianzhao passed by the mayor's residence in Baishan Town, he hurried over, but he didn't go far, and suddenly stopped and turned back.
He looked at the room and didn't think anything was out of the ordinary.
But for some reason, he just thought he should go in and have a look.
So, he turned and went back.
In the door that was pushed open, there sat a woodcutter and Li Tianzhao's bundle of loot.
The swords of the hundred generals of Nandou Town, as well as the seal of the mayor of the town, are all on the table.
The woodcutter was drinking tea, looked at Li Tianzhao who was staying at the door, and asked him with a smile: "Do you dare to drink with others with merit next time?"
The fright came too suddenly, and so did the surprise.
Li Tianzhao's mood, in just a short period of time, experienced the violent ups and downs from the top of the mountain to the deep valley and then to the top of the mountain.
"I don't dare to drink with others, but I dare to drink with you, but I will never dare to get drunk!"
The woodcutter came out of the house with a smile and patted Li Tianzhao on the shoulder, everything was silent.
Not long after he walked out of the room, Li Tianzhao suddenly turned around and asked suspiciously, "You can't hear my words and change your mind temporarily, right?"
The woodcutter was stunned, turned his head to look at him, and laughed: "It is very good to eat a trench and grow more than one wisdom! To survive, you must have this spirit of doubt, and it is best to take the initiative in your own hands, and instead of expecting others to give you what you want, it is better to give it to yourself!"
The woodcutter is gone.
Li Tianzhao felt that he had benefited a lot.
He was very grateful to the woodcutter for giving him some advice in this way, which was more important than teaching him great skills.
"No! This is a powerful skill!" Li Tianzhao shook his spirits, took the spoils of war, and set off directly to repay his merits.
The best way to avoid having too many dreams at night is to get credit as quickly as possible!
