Chapter Seventy-Five: Let's Make a Bet
At the moment, IRAETA has three directions to choose from.
One is to the south. However, he couldn't go far before he reached the boundary of the Eastern Chu Kingdom. Illett's appearance can be seen at a glance, he is not a pure native of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and he does not have a household registration in the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and when he enters the Eastern Chu Kingdom, he is easily caught by the border guards as a spy.
The second is to the east. To the east, there are a large number of soldiers and cultivators, repairing the damaged tower. And there are several Force Masters in charge. When Elite went there, she simply threw herself into the net.
The third is to the west. To the west is the vast desert, which is dangerous and unusual for ordinary people. But for Elite, it's the safest place. What's more, that bastard also went west, and he also went west, and there was a chance to meet that bastard for revenge, and maybe he wouldn't know.
As for going north, it was not in Elite's mind at all. One is because of the need to cross the fence system to the north. Now he will be attacked by the system as soon as he gets close.
Moreover, after the fence is the great wilderness, although there are no crazy monsters now, but it is full of devilish whispers, except for a few places where Red Flame Castle and Wind Wolf Castle can be settled, going north is basically a dead end.
Having made up her mind, Elite quietly headed west through the woods.
More than ten kilometers to the west of the tower, there is a mountain ridge rising from the ground, as high as more than 2,000 meters. The mountains stretch for thousands of kilometers from south to north.
In the old era, the mountain was even longer than it is now. The world war at the end of the old era, this was an important battlefield. The destructive weapons dropped by both sides flattened the northern section of the mountain range, which is still a glazed dead land with no grass in a radius of hundreds of kilometers. No creature can pass through it.
If Elita wants to go west, she needs to climb over this mountain. For him, this journey is not difficult, but because he did not bring all the daily necessities with him, this journey is destined to be very hard.
As soon as she thought of this, Elaeta couldn't help but curse the bastard who had miserably messed with her in her hometown's native language, words that began with "S", "F", and "B".
Wang Xiaotian, who was cursed by Elite, was lying comfortably in the cockpit of the defender at the moment, and the control of the defender was completely handed over to Cortana.
Xiao Na was careful and considerate, and drove the defender very smoothly, without even a little bump, and Wang Xiaotian quickly fell asleep.
I don't know how long he slept, but he was woken up by Cortana's soft call. He opened his eyes and saw the defender hovering in the air, and a small oasis appeared on the screen in front of him.
Cortana reported: "According to the mecha's driving record, this oasis is the place where the mecha suddenly accelerated not long ago. Can you take a look?"
Wang Xiaotian nodded again and again, "That's right, this is it." You scan it and see how many people are in the oasis. ”
After a while, Cortana reported, "There were forty-seven people inside. There are also a large number of horses and camels. ”
Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Let's stay away and land." I'll put you in storage later. ”
The defenders landed five kilometers away from the oasis, a distance that should not be detected by the people in the oasis.
Wang Xiaotian jumped out of the cockpit, then touched the defender and put it into the storage space. Then, unhurriedly, he ran towards the oasis.
According to Cortana's scans, there are a lot of people in the oasis and a lot of livestock, so there are only two possibilities.
One is that these people live here, and they are indigenous to the desert. Some of the larger oases in the desert are home to many indigenous people. These natives are tough by nature, desperate at the slightest disagreement, and can turn into bandits at any time, which is extremely dangerous.
The other is that it's a bunch of business travelers. However, the location of this oasis is very remote, far from the route often taken by business travelers, and ordinary business travelers do not come here at all. Therefore, the business travelers who can come here are by no means kind.
However, Wang Xiaotian is not worried about Jessica. She is a master of concealed assassination, beautiful as a flower, ruthless, and has no idea how many lives she has on her hands. Ordinary sand people or smugglers are considered unlucky to meet her.
Wang Xiaotian came all the way, less than a kilometer away from the oasis, and suddenly stopped there.
He suddenly felt a very uneasy feeling in his heart. With Jessica's character, she must be angry if she left her here. When you see yourself coming, why didn't you rush over to find your own trouble?
She doesn't show up, there are only three possibilities. First, she was holding back her bad heart and wanted to play sneak attack on herself, so she hid it. Second, she was restricted in her freedom.
If it's the first one, it's fine. There are so many people in the oasis, even if she hides and wants to sneak attack herself, at most she will teach herself a lesson. It is impossible to fight with yourself in full view.
If it's the second, it's troublesome. This shows that the people in the oasis are not only not kind, but also very strong.
As for the third possibility, Jessica has left, and for now, this is the best outcome.
Wang Xiaotian thought for a moment and decided to continue walking. If there were cultivators in the oasis who were stronger than themselves, they would have already discovered their own deeds at this distance. If you leave, you will seem to be afraid of the other party.
When he walked five hundred meters away from the oasis, Wang Xiaotian faintly heard the sound of noisy conversations and the movement of livestock in the oasis.
Hearing this, Wang Xiaotian was a little relieved. The presence of movement means that everything is normal in the oasis, at least on the surface.
Continuing on, he saw the entrance to the oasis, with a guard standing on each side. On the left is a strong man wearing a wolfskin robe and a wolfskin hat, a fifth-level intermediate cultivator. The person from the Eastern Chu country on the right is dressed up, carrying a long sword behind him, a fifth-level high-level cultivator.
When the two found Wang Xiaotian, they immediately shouted in unison, "Stop! What are you doing?"
Wang Xiaotian still walked forward, and said as he walked: "Passing." ”
The two continued to shout: "What are you doing here?"
Wang Xiaotian: "It's been very hard all the way, and when I saw that there was an oasis here, I came here to rest and fill some water." ”
The cultivator dressed as a native of Eastern Chu shouted, "Get out!"
A strong man in a wolfskin robe: "Break your dog's leg if you walk slowly!"
Wang Xiaotian snorted coldly, "Where did the vicious dog come from, barking here!"
"Boy, look for a fight!" The strong man in the wolfskin robe slammed his fist into Wang Xiaotian's face.
Not to be outdone, Wang Xiaotian raised his arm and punched him to meet him.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the strong man in the wolfskin robe let out a terrible scream, and his arm was suddenly broken into four pieces.
The cultivator dressed as a native of the Eastern Chu Kingdom was taken aback, and immediately drew his long sword and slashed it at Wang Xiaotian's head.
Wang Xiaotian was short, and he shook in front of his eyes, like a cannonball out of the chamber, and rushed directly into the arms of the cultivators of the Eastern Chu Kingdom.
His shoulders were on his shoulders, the arms of the cultivators of the Eastern Chu Kingdom. Immediately after, he slammed his shoulder hard, directly hitting the opponent's ribs, with a crisp "snap", and four ribs were broken in response.
The other party took four steps back, covering the wound with both hands, and his face was so painful that it was distorted.
Wang Xiaotian made a gesture to rush forward and continue to beat the two of them. At this time, a middle-aged man's voice sounded, "Your Excellency, slow down. ”
Wang Xiaotian stopped when he heard this.
Middle-aged man: "As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog." If the two of them offend you, you will be punished slightly. Why do you need to kill them all?"
Wang Xiaotian looked at the oasis with a vigilant face, and while capturing the other party's location with his heart, he said: "It's impossible to talk about killing them all." It's just that the two vicious dogs are too untrained to hurt them, for fear that they won't have a long memory. ”
Middle-aged man: "Your Excellency is worried. Naturally, they have our training, and they don't dare to work for your Excellency. ”
Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "That's very good." With that, he continued his walk towards the oasis.
Middle-aged man: "Your Excellency, stay." ”
Wang Xiaotian asked suspiciously: "What does Your Excellency mean by this? Could it be that this oasis is Your Excellency's private property? Even if it is Your Excellency's private property, it is not too much for a guest who has come from afar to get tired and wants to rest his feet and pour some water?"
Middle-aged man: "This oasis is not my personal own. However, we have important things to do here. It is not convenient for you to come in. Please wait a moment. ”
"How long will it take?"
Middle-aged man: "Tomorrow morning, we will leave." ”
Wang Xiaotian's face turned angry, and he said, "Is Your Excellency playing tricks on me? I don't have to wait until tomorrow morning, I go in to fill the water and rest, one hour is enough." Or, let me go first?"
Middle-aged man: "Your Excellency, everything is first-come, first-served. Since we came first, Your Excellency should wait. ”
Wang Xiaotian thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said is so reasonable, I am speechless." All right. I'm not going to rush in. However, I have a friend who should have been here a long time ago, and I wonder if you have ever seen him?"
Middle-aged man: "How does Lingyou look? When did you come here?" You may wish to elaborate, and we will also look carefully. ”
Wang Xiaotian said: "This friend of mine is a beautiful woman, wearing a Canaanite robe and a veil. So, I don't know what it looks like. If you have seen it, please let her out. ”
Wang Xiaotian's words were very tactful, but the meaning was obvious. "Did you arrest my friend? If yes, let her out. ”
After a while, the middle-aged man spoke: "We haven't seen your friend. ”
Wang Xiaotian definitely didn't believe it, "Can you let me go in and have a look?"
Middle-aged man: "It's not convenient now. ”
"Hehe," Wang Xiaotian sneered disdainfully, "When I am a three-year-old child, by the time it is convenient for you, she will have already been transferred away by you." I've said all that I have to say, and whether you like it or not, I'm going to go in and have a look. If you want to stop me, don't blame me for being rude. ”
At this time, another man's voice suddenly came, "Hehe, Your Excellency is young, and his tone is not small. I just don't know if you have the strength. ”
Wang Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, "You can bet on it." ”
Another man: "Hehe, what a arrogant little one. There is personality. Since you want to bet, I'll bet with you. Well, within ten minutes, if you can walk in front of us, we lose. How?"
Wang Xiaotian said: "What should you do if you lose? Do you just say 'we lost' and it's over?"
Another man: "If we lose, you can take any of us here." If you lose...... Well, just break one of your arms and four ribs. What do you think?"
When Wang Xiaotian heard this person say, "Break an arm and four ribs", he knew that he was holding back his bad and wanted to fix himself.
However, he did not have the slightest fear, and said, "Yes." However, there is a sentence that needs to be mentioned first. When you start to do it in a while, will you stop at the point, or will it matter whether you live or die?"
There was silence for a moment, and the middle-aged man said before: "We have no grudges in the long days and no hatred in the near future, but it is because of a moment of whim, that we set up this gamble." Why do you have to fight to the death?
Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes." Please, both of you, wait, and I'll go to see you. ”
