414 The world is thinking of fire
Sima Chen was really careless, maybe he had a little bit of a trick in it, in the process of dodging the lock, he deliberately made the dodge distance very, very close, and the skin close to him could feel the coldness on the lock. [ 八〔(?一Chinese( 〕〉].]8〉1)Z}
He's definitely stinking and handsome, and he wants to show his high field control, but he's completely forgotten about the weird nature of the lock.
Damn, there's no barb, what's it called a lock?
Just as the tip of the spear pressed against the skin of his neck, six hidden barbs suddenly flipped out, and the sharp black iron barbs stabbed into Sima Chen's skin fiercely, tearing open a deep wound in an instant.
Is it good to have arteries on both sides of his neck, but it is an aorta, and an inch-deep barb cut through his veins at once, and red blood sprayed into the sky like arrows.
"Hmm..."Sima Chen snorted, squatted on the ground all of a sudden, and a flying knife in his left hand that transformed into vitality slammed straight at the small figure, instantly piercing the bold man.
Sima Chen's right hand shone brightly, and a powerful healing technique blessed the wound, and it took a full three minutes for the blood to stop, but at this time, he also became extremely weak due to excessive blood loss.
Although the Awakened is powerful, his physical body is not strong, and his recovery after injury is actually much weaker than that of a sword master, and even some mortal soldiers are inferior. Although Sima Chen had healed his wounds with spells, he knew that his skin and muscles were very fragile and he could not move vigorously for three days.
At this time, a chill came up, and he knew that this was a normal sign of excessive blood loss. Sima Chen leaned over to the burning grain pile, eating delicious strips of meat while roasting the fire, and by the way, wrapped the white fox cloak a little tighter.
He needed rest, he needed stamina, and it seemed like he wasn't going to leave for three or four hours.
During this time, Sima Chen sorted out the things that happened during this time. He and the ten Great Masters were commissioned by the Ancestor to infiltrate the Great King City twenty days ago, but the information in the Great King City was too chaotic, and there were many versions of the Flowing Fire that did not show up, and no one could prove the authenticity.
However, there is one piece of information that is very true, Wen Mo and those orcs under Liuhuo actually went out of the vast city, and the purpose is unknown, and Liu Lao and Granny Mu also went their separate ways.
After thinking about it, Sima Chen decided to go to the Vast City in person, hoping to get some information from the side. As a result, it took him eighteen days to run back and forth in the snowy mountains.
The news that Sima Chen got was shocking, the vast orc didn't have a strong sense of secrecy, he only used a little magic to know that Wen Mo was here for herbs, and those herbs were actually for refining the Qingxin Pill.
Liuhuo is really unconscious, and he doesn't know anyone, life and death are unknown. This news is too important, this has been out of Sima Chen's authority, and this news must be transmitted back to Zhongzhou Fantasy Realm as quickly as possible.
And on his way back, he met this grain delivery team. Even if Sima Chen wanted to break his head, he couldn't imagine that he would be injured in the hands of these ordinary soldiers.
Of course, Sima Chen admits that the Skywalkers should also be counted as members of the Awakened, and should not be classified as lowly mortals. But freaks like Skywalkers can only be regarded as a shame for the Awakened.
Although they have awakened, they can't even reach the realm of small mastery, and everyone's cultivation focus is on the empty walking technique, with only one purpose, so that these junior awakened people can wear the air walker equipment and use their degree and dexterity to improve their combat effectiveness.
Freaks, what a bunch of freaks, the Flowing Fire has subverted too many traditions in the Creation Gate, and he actually let the noble awakened learn the ways of mortal warfare. Yes, of course, we admit that Driftfire has indeed improved the combat effectiveness of these soldiers, and the battle at the top of the Tibetan Lodge Mountain has been an eye-opener.
A squad of Skywalkers actually dragged out all the Great Masters present until they were all killed, and none of these Great Masters could get rid of the entanglement.
And today, the same skywalker actually cut Sima Chen's neck and even injured his artery in his dying struggle. It's terrifying, what if the Flying Skywalker really becomes an army in the long run?
In a trance, Sima Chen seemed to see tens of thousands of Skywalkers flying in the sky in a group like flies, they used mobility to exhaust the vitality of the Awakened, and even used the tactics of the sea of people like mortal soldiers, exchanging their lives for precious fighters that could kill the Awakened.
If there really is that day, maybe a great master awakened person of Sima Chen's level, the Sky Walker team will be able to successfully kill him by sacrificing one or two hundred lives.
Thinking of this, Sima Chen actually subconsciously shivered, and even the fire in front of him was not so warm.
"You can't raise tigers for trouble, it's wrong for the ancestors to do this, it's absolutely wrong..."
The person who calculated Pei Shui in the wind and snow was not only Sima Chen, in the northwest corner of the Great King City, in that gorgeous rich area, in the small courtyard where the prince of the dragon vein lived, several people were analyzing everything that was born today.
The eight-year-old child sitting in the middle is the son of Long Xingkong, the prince of the dragon vein. Sitting next to him was his uncle and brother Long Yong, and several hardcore subordinates.
"What the hell is Liuhuo doing?Why didn't he come forward for such a big mess today?What does it mean to only send Suzaku-sama out?Is he still in the mood to retreat at such a critical moment?" Dragon Vein said to himself, looking at his expression really didn't look like an eight-year-old child.
Long Yong carefully recalled the scene of his birth in the morning, thought for a long time, and said: "I am more concerned about what Lord Suzaku said, what does it mean that ideals cannot be built on sacrifice? How can there be victory without sacrifice? The problem that Peishui is facing now is not a problem at all, as long as the merchant is forced to open a position, won't it be solved? Are so many troops raised in vain?"
Long Yong's question is also the question of the Dragon Vein Prince, he suddenly realized that this is a new concept, which seems to be one of the secrets of Pei Shui's arrival today. Suzaku can understand half of what he said, but he doesn't understand the other half.
"This is too womanly, and in the long run, the authority of the ruler will no longer be there, and anyone's greed can override the interests of the collective, isn't this a situation of scattered sand?" said the Dragon Vein Prince in a low voice.
"Of course, this governing philosophy also has its advantages, that is, it can make all the people feel safe, maybe this sense of security is the secret of the people's hearts, right?"
At this time, Long Yong slapped the table and said, "What kind of bullshit security, the people have a sense of security, so where can the country find a sense of security? When the foreign enemy attacks, the people are all taking care of their own affairs, who will resist the invasion? Moreover, the larger the ruling territory, the more difficult it is to control, and a hundred people have a hundred kinds of greed, and what about ten thousand people? What about a hundred thousand people?"
"Sensei said that there was a war, even if this snowstorm happened now? Isn't Peishui completely out of line? Actually let the most elite soldiers brave the wind and snow to transport food? Those are all veterans of a hundred battles..."
Long Yong just can't understand whether he is alive or dead, and although the prince of the dragon vein has a little understanding, he is not stupid enough to explain to his brother.
The Dragon Vein Prince whispered in his heart, "A plate of loose sand, our Chu State management is not so warm, but what is the result? In such a snowstorm, how many people will freeze and starve to death? You must know that those refugees on the border are all the people of our Long family..."
"As for what kind of expansion of territory, the ideal of Wanyi Fire is not on the territory at all? You know, at the beginning of the year, when we conquered Wild Horse City, we didn't want an inch of land. He seems to want to live in Peishui..."
The Dragon Vein Prince stopped talking, and he carefully recalled his father's analysis of the Flowing Fire. Before he came, Long Xingkong had said.
"I've been paying attention to Liuhuo for ten years, and I was also very angry when he robbed Peishui County, but as time goes by, I don't have any ambition at all, he seems to want to create a paradise on earth on the land of Zhongzhou..."
"In the past ten years, he has had countless opportunities to expand his territory, but he has not made any small moves at all, he is just protecting Peishui, making him rich, rich and rich..."
"Do you know how Master Tongxuan described Flowing Fire? He said that Flowing Fire has been an orphan since he was a child, so he has lacked a fairytale childhood since he was a child, so he wants to create a fairy tale in Peishui by himself..."
"Flowing fire is dreaming, making a dream, let's cooperate with him more..."
The Dragon Vein Prince had been living in the Great King City for almost a year, and the longer he stayed, the more he could appreciate the feeling that his father had said.
Although he likes to deal with the secular world, the essence of the awakened will not change, the mysterious world of cultivation is attractive enough, and the flow of fire to control Peishui is also a small personal hobby.
It's just that Liuhuo never thought that an unintentional good thought back then could actually create a huge career, and although Peishui is still a dream of his, this dream is already big enough to influence Liuhuo's life.
Who said that the awakened don't need worldly forces? The awakened just don't want weak worldly forces, how can they loosen their mouths once they encounter real fat. The huge population base of the secular world brings endless seeds of potential, and those seeds that can awaken are the core competitiveness of all families to thrive.
Not to mention all kinds of natural treasures, or because the mortal population is large and covers a large area, perhaps in the farmer hoeing the field, the hunter will collect rare treasures in the process of hunting, so it is not a variety of mines that really produce treasures, but endless folks.
Of course, gold coins are also very important, although the Awakened did not pay much attention to the role of gold coins in the past, but the emergence of Flowing Fire and his Black Iron Legion has awakened all the Awakened.
Gold and a mystical technique are equivalent to a weapon to challenge the gods.
The more he thinks about it, the more obsessed he becomes, he is a book that you read more and more, you feel like you have learned about him, but he will always have new surprises.
"Lord Liuhuo, you are already my imperial uncle, what are you doing in retreat?"
