Chapter 16: Behemoths
Nothing happened overnight.
Tang Xiaobai got up early, sat cross-legged and looked at Dongfang quietly, he couldn't remember when he developed the habit of getting up early, or since he started his business, he didn't know what it was to get up late. In the same way, in the past, I used to get up early to make money, but now I get up early to develop the village and survive in this world.
In the village, due to the hemlock forest, there is no way to see this beautiful scenery at this moment. That new sun, slowly rising from the east, is so beautiful that people's whole body is full of energy.
Xu Chu also got up early, as a brave general, he was used to practicing martial arts when the sun was rising. He practiced a knife technique called Nine Songs and Eight Desolations Heavy Knife, this kind of knife technique has not been mentioned by Tang Xiaobai in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, maybe this is another bad fusion of the system.
The knife is heavy, and this set of knife techniques is even heavier, and the slash contains an incomparably powerful force, and even the air emits a series of blasting sounds. After a set of knife techniques, even a fierce general like Xu Chu had a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, which shows how difficult this heavy knife is.
"Whew, comfortable!"
Xu Chu plunged the heavy knife into the soil and walked to the river to wash his face, and suddenly he found that in the place near the bank of the Liuqing River, there were a few water plants that were straight upright, and no matter how the river flowed, it was motionless.
"Oh, that's weird." Xu Chu stretched out his hand and pulled out this aquatic weed, and when he looked at it again, it was even more strange that the broken part of this aquatic weed was very neat, the same as a knife.
"Ah, my lord! I noticed a strange thing. Xu Chu trotted all the way over with the water weed, and stretched out to his little white eyes like a treasure. I didn't notice that the water behind me was bubbling out in strings.
"Uh, this ......" Tang Xiaobai had beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead.
"Zhongkang, you're wrong." Tang Xiaobai walked towards the Liuqing River with water weeds, as he spoke.
When Xu Chu heard this, he thought that he had done something wrong, Tang Xiaobai was blaming him, and hurriedly asked: "Lord, I don't know what is wrong with the general?" Please also ask the lord to make it clear that the end will definitely be changed. ”
Tang Xiaobai glanced at the place where the strings of Liuqing River were bubbling, then threw the aquatic plants down, turned his head back and said to Xu Chu: "Look how cute these flowers and plants are, why do you want to pull them down and hurt them?" Besides, how can this plain be destroyed by our own territory, that is, our own home? You're right? ”
Xu Chu thought about it and couldn't figure it out, but he felt that Tang Xiaobai's words made sense, so he said, "The lord's words are reasonable." ”
"It's not too early, let's continue to set off, we must go to the iron mine today, and after the exploration, we will set off and return, and we may not come out for a long time." Tang Xiaobai said the last two sentences very loudly, which made Xu Chu look confused again.
"Come on, whatever the lord says, I'll do it, that's right, the lord is right anyway." Xu Chu thought to himself, and then followed Tang Xiaobai to turn over and get on the horse and go to the destination.
Since they were on the plains, Fat Tiger and Jueying were both Shenjun's mounts, and their speed was much faster than yesterday's, and they had already arrived at the location of the iron mine in a short time. This iron mine is a little different from the one near the village, because the iron mine near the village has a hemlock forest growing on it, so most of the iron elements in the iron mine have been absorbed by the hemlock trees, which can only be said to be ordinary iron ore.
And this iron mine is on the plain, the iron attribute has not been absorbed, plus the accumulation of many years, all the iron ore has a dark red, is no longer ordinary iron, but hematite, this is a good thing, according to the system data, its hardness and toughness are much stronger than ordinary iron, more suitable for building weapons.
Such a hematite vein, that is a myriad of weapons, can greatly improve the combat effectiveness. This iron mine is extending downward, and Tang Xiaobai doesn't dare to venture down, because he doesn't know what kind of danger he will encounter inside. I plan to go back to the village after exploring outside, but sometimes, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop. Just as Tang Xiaobai was about to leave, a roar suddenly came from the mine.
There was a loud rumbling bang, and at the same time, there was a sound of breaking the air behind him.
"Ding~" There was a crisp sound, Xu Chu blocked the weapon with a nine-eared and eight-ring elephant trunk knife, and at a glance, it turned out to be an arrow.
"He Fangxiao, who dared to sneak attack!" Xu Chu stood in front of him and shouted angrily.
For a long time, there was no reaction, but the rumbling in the mine was getting closer and closer. An inexplicable sense of oppression came from inside the mine, Xu Chu didn't dare to be careless, and at this time, there was a sound of breaking the air behind him.
Bite! This time, it was Tang Xiaobai who blocked this fatal arrow with the Seven-Star Treasure Knife, looked at the empty plain behind him, and said, "It's a little interesting!" It seems that the other party will be invisible. ”
"Humph!" A cold snort came, as if he was disdainful of Tang Xiaobai's evaluation.
"I want to see who holy you are." Tang Xiaobai's eyes kept staring ahead, trying to find any clues from it, but unfortunately he didn't find anything.
At this moment, the creatures in the mine finally came out.
"Who is it! Who is disturbing the cultivation of the great Jiao Demon Lord? A huge head poked out of the mine, and a thunderous sound resounded throughout the plain, causing the timid creatures to flee in all directions.
"Grandma, do you hear it, this little earthworm can talk!" Xu Chu said to Tang Xiaobai in surprise.
"What? You dare to say that the great Jiao Demon King is an earthworm, hum, little reptile, you are dead! I am the youngest genius of the Almoth Star Jiao Demon Clan, and you dare to say that I am a little earthworm, poor little reptile, and today is your time of death. I'm going to eat you to strengthen my cultivation. ”
Tang Xiaobai knew that this huge evil Jiao was not a demon beast from the battlefield continent, but a contestant like him, which showed that there were all kinds of people in this battlefield continent.
Evil Jiao's temper is very big, and he bumped into it directly without saying a word. Xu Chu didn't say a word, and raised the nine-eared and eight-ring elephant trunk knife to look at him.
The Evil Jiao poked out half of his head, as if his body was connected to the mine. It was precisely because of this that his attack was a little clumsy, and after three or five rounds, Xu Chu's thousand-pound heavy knife actually gained the upper hand and cut several scars on his head. Tang Xiaobai dodged the attack range of the evil Jiao, and quietly looked at a clearing in the plain, when another arrow shot at once.
"Your arrows seem to be a little too slow, is it a bad bow?"
"Then try this, your subordinates have no time to save you, I think you are dead." Finally, a voice came, leaning towards neutral, which made Tang Xiaobai unable to determine the gender of the other party. As soon as the words fell, I saw three sharp arrows shooting towards Tang Xiaobai, forming a zigzag shape in the air, directly taking Tang Xiaobai's eyebrows and shoulders.
Wow, Tang Xiaobai took a few steps back, brandishing the Seven-Star Treasure Sword to block this wave of attacks. secretly said in his heart, fortunately, he practiced Xuanti Gong with General Zilong every day for a month, otherwise he would definitely not be able to block these three arrows.
