Chapter Seventy-Six: The Way of Dialogue with the 'Gods'
Heuman sat under a dead branch, his bag at his feet—at such a distance that it thought it was safe enough; After all, it still knows a little bit about that person's situation; With the current situation of the other party, it is difficult to find it.
Of course, the more important point is that if it were running at that speed, its body would definitely collapse now.
Although this body named 'Heuman' is not the best, the contract signed with the other party at the beginning means that it will never give up this body so easily, even in a desperate situation, because if it does give it up, the consequences will definitely be unbearable.
Contracts are always so 'fair'!
Therefore, it now has to be called Heuman, and under this name, it continues to survive.
It didn't complain too much about this, after all, it was lucky enough compared to those who had fallen—although it was bound by Bryth, it was also given a rare respite, and finally broke away from each other and began a life of its own.
And for this kind of life, it cherishes it, so it does not intend to contribute to any person or force in the short term, even if this person represents an existence that it could not compete with in the past, it is the same - now it is already the age of freedom, it is more than 10,000 years since the age of mythology, the war of the gods has ended for a thousand years, they were the protagonists of the day, but now they are just passers-by.
And it's ready to play the role of this passerby.
So, after leaving the Sennuma District, it was like those wanderers. Look as you go. Even the dry forest area is no exception.
At most, it's just a step in to solve some unnecessary trouble?
Compared to the rest of Lorante. The humans here are a little unfriendly; If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't adapt to human life for a while, it would definitely move to other areas - the noses of the self-proclaimed witchers were so sharp that it couldn't hide them from each other right now.
It's not about appearance, it's about habits!
Such a habit is the legacy of countless years, and it is not an overnight thing that it wants to be corrected; Therefore, it decided to stay in the dry forest area for the time being.
Merely. There are always accidents, and even the prophet can't do it perfectly.
For that's tracking, it's a bit of a surprise.
However, then it was relieved that the other party was clearly trying to get out of the current predicament, and it was undoubtedly the best help.
It doesn't mind helping if it could, according to the rules.
However, this is not the problem of the other party, there is another person who definitely does not want to be involved. The war between these two men, especially one like this, continues.
Countless existences have fallen. It doesn't want to be next.
So, very naturally, it escaped.
It has a considerable grasp of its ability to conceal its whereabouts; Because of this, when Ye Qi appeared in its perceptual range on Groening, this Mr. Heumann had an unconcealable surprise - almost instinctively, this Mr. Heuman, wanted to escape.
However, as soon as its fingers touched its bag, the whole movement stopped.
Since you can find it once, it won't be difficult to find it a second time!
Such a thought made the gentleman give up his original idea, and sat quietly waiting for Ye Qi's arrival, and even lit a bonfire.
……
When Ye Qi rode Groning down from the sky, he saw such a scene - a middle-aged man in a black thick cloak sat by the campfire, with dead branches in his hands put into it, and beside him was a well-built tent, and some household tools were scattered around the tent in a regular manner.
It looks like a traveler camping.
However, that kind of aura that did not belong to ordinary people was inadvertently revealed like that - the moment Ye Qi jumped off Groning's back, the other party turned his head to look at Ye Qi, and the eyes that were originally human beings came out at this time, but at this time, flames like substance appeared.
It's not just a description, it's a real flame.
Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Ye Qi to see clearly, and then, in the eyes where the flames disappeared, there was completely wildness, just like a wolf running in the forest and grassland, which made people feel subconsciously uncomfortable, and if they were timid, they would definitely tremble.
"What am I going to do now?"
Ye Qi asked about the strange wolf before Groning landed, but to his surprise, his contract companion, who had always answered all questions, was silent - Ye Qi could sense the existence of the other party, but the strange wolf just didn't give any answer, and looked silent.
Even, Ye Qi continued to ask, but still did not give the other party an answer.
Therefore, when he saw the middle-aged man opposite, Ye Qi could only come in his own way, of course, he didn't plan to do so at first-
"Hope it didn't disturb your rest!"
Ye Qi, who was holding Groning, walked in front of the other party and said with a smile.
"Although I have a tent, it doesn't necessarily mean that I need to rest, and you don't plan to change ...... Come out and talk to me? The middle-aged man's questioning, with a hint of unceremoniousness, or to put it simply, was to stand on a high place and look down on Ye Qi from a bird's-eye perspective.
looked down on it, and moreover, he was very disdainful of talking to Ye Qi.
Looking at the middle-aged man who turned his head again and paid attention to the bonfire, Ye Qi frowned slightly; However, soon thinking of his intention this time, he immediately soothed his brows again and said, "I want to invite ......."
"I don't talk to mortals, even if you're its 'container'!"
Before Ye Qi's words could be finished, he was interrupted again, and this time the interruption was compared to the last unkind answer. It is more thorough and direct. Even if you want to tolerate Ye Qi. It's also frowned.
"I'm not its container, we're just standing together because of the contract!" Ye Qi regained his usual coldness in the face of strangers, "And if you don't talk to mortals, then how did I get your clues?" ”
"A mortal like you dare to defy me!!"
The middle-aged man behaved very surprised, he or it was. raised his head, looked Ye Qi up and down, and then, a look of disdain, resurfaced: "It seems that you have not received much favor from it, and the aura that belongs to it on your body is basically untraceable...... Well, if I break a container like yours, I don't think it will blame me either! ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man came from the campfire. Stood up.
And with the other party's words, Ye Qi also somewhat understood what the strange wolf was fighting.
"What do you think when facing it. I need your help - and then, two of us to clear our bets? Ye Qi sneered at the bottom of his heart, "Maybe you look up to the guy on the other side too much!" ”
Obviously, the strange wolf who had just lost a gamble wanted to rely on an existence similar to it in front of him to win back a city - although this approach is a bit of a scoundrel, but aside from the scoundrel, it seems to be a good opportunity; If you put aside its own purpose and its real relationship with Ye Qi.
Its purpose is to find the whereabouts of its own statue.
And under the constraints of that contract, it and Ye Qi are basically grasshoppers on a rope, and when anyone is irreversibly damaged, one of them will suffer the corresponding damage.
Therefore, the strange wolf's actions at the moment, in Ye Qi's opinion, really have no merit; In the end, it was still a compromise - just a struggle, and such a struggle was powerless!
However, the strange wolf had a fairly correct grasp of the similar existence it wanted to ask, or rather, the other party did not depart from Ye Qi's guess about the other party - in the strange wolf's mouth, the other party's conservatism was only for the existence of the same level; As for the existence underneath it?
Looking at the momentum with murderous intent at this moment, it is naturally clear.
Even a 'substitute' like Ye Qi, to some extent, who exists as it, cannot make it restrain itself.
Ye Qi's left hand moved to the position of the scabbard, and his right hand was held on the hilt of the Enma Knife, and the other party with both eyes was level, and a cold gaze was cast on the other party.
"Damn mortals, how dare you insult me!"
Ye Qi's action obviously stimulated the middle-aged man, and with a roar, his whole person rushed towards Ye Qi like the wind - the speed was fast, and the attack was fierce, and the claws made by the two hands even made a 'thorn' in the air, as if it tore the cloth brocade.
However, for Ye Qi, who was accustomed to the speed of the lifeless king, such a speed was not enough, and the seemingly sharp offensive was slightly softer.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Ye Qi's Enma Knife suddenly crossed the air with its scabbard, just in front of the opponent's claws.
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Qi in surprise, just blocking the scabbard in front of it, obviously, it didn't expect its attack to be blocked - according to its expectations, the other party should have collapsed to the ground in a blur of flesh and blood under the tearing of its claws at this time.
This prediction is not a boundless imagination, but the most direct assessment given according to Ye Qi's breath.
However, it is clear that such an assessment is not suitable for Ye Qi in the slightest.
The failure of the first attack, the surprise in his eyes, did not stop the middle-aged man's movements, almost when the attack of both hands was stopped by Ye Qi's scabbard, one of its legs jumped towards Ye Qi, aimed at Ye Qi's lower abdomen and kicked it; Compared with the sound of the wind holding claws with both hands, this foot is silent.
But whoever thinks that such a kick is not dangerous is very wrong!
If you really talk about the degree of danger, this kick is definitely several times more than the previous claws.
However, this same kick was in vain in the next moment, and even had to change the original purpose of the attack and turned it into defense.
Because, Ye Qi also kicked a kick, and the speed was faster than its, and the time was earlier than its.
Before, in the strange wolf fantasy world, the extended version of torture. It's not necessarily useless—at least. After Ye Qi thought for a moment. Some effective fighting methods and tips have already emerged from the mind to the body's instinctive battle.
Just like the previous kick, Ye Qi was completely the instinct of the body, and without any brain thinking, it was like being in that fantasy world.
The only difference, though, is that in that illusion. What Ye Qi can do is just think about it, but here it can really be realized.
Bang!
The boot collided with the tibia of the opponent's calf, and in the sound of muscle vibration, the opponent's figure flew back, showing the strength of Ye Qi's kick.
However, in the next moment, the other party 'flew' back at a faster speed.
That's right, it's flying!
Flying with both legs off the ground, and. It has quite a height!
Roar!
A loud beast roar came from mid-air. A leopard-like phantom appeared in the air like this—in the eyes of fire, two red rays of light shot down like lasers, hitting Ye Qi who was standing on the ground.
Boom!
In the crisp sound of metal vibration, with a touch of faint blue light, the Enma Knife slashed a semi-circular trajectory under the moonlit night, and the faint blue blade flew out suddenly, and then, rapidly changing in mid-air, in the speed that ordinary people could not keep up with, a blue cross-shaped sword shot up into the sky.
【Cross Slash】
The [Cross Swordsmanship] obtained from the memory of the Dragon's Inheritance, under Ye Qi's change at this moment, is perfectly integrated into his sword skills, and even exerts a power far beyond the original, after all, with the support of Ye Qi's [Cold Weapon (Legendary): 23], any cold weapon skill will gain a considerable increase, not to mention the [Critical Blow] of its own path obtained after the [Cold Weapon] enters the legend.
When using cold weapons, getting 200% damage has already determined that when Ye Qi is holding the Enma Knife, any skill will be reborn.
Even in the memory of the Dragon's Inheritance, it seems to be a relatively ordinary [Cross Sword Technique].
Correspondingly, the middle-aged man who was suspended in the air also recognized that it was not a secret [Cross Sword Technique], and even it could be used itself.
Therefore, when Ye Qi used such an attack to deal with it, this former 'god' seemed extremely disdainful - it knew the advantages and disadvantages of this set of [Cross Sword Technique], the advantage was that it had an unparalleled attack speed, the speed was very fast, but the disadvantages were also obvious, in that kind of speed, it could not form a strong force.
Needless to say, facing its 'gaze', even some other swords and sword qi were just shattered - in fact, in its memory, some powerhouses of various races at that time chose to cultivate [Cross Sword Technique], just to have a faster starting move, so as to make a perfect connection for subsequent moves.
Therefore, when it looked down on such a [Cross Sword Technique], it began to be wary of Ye Qi's next move—even if it was not favored by that being, it did not dare to be careless; After all, the previous opponent had already shown strength that did not match the breath; Obviously, that generous personality hasn't changed after such a long time.
However, just when this former 'god' was still thinking about dealing with Ye Qi's possible back moves, the cross sword had already collided with the two red laser-like tangible gazes!
Snort, snort, snort!
There was no such thing as this former 'god', the imaginary scene of the cross sword being crushed by a touch, and the two different forces were actually stalemate with each other in mid-air, and, as time passed, its gaze was actually suppressed.
It would never allow such a situation, and immediately two laser-like gazes shot down, more powerful than the previous gaze; And with such a new force joining, the cross sword that had a little advantage before was immediately extinguished in the red light.
However, this former 'god' changed his face.
Because, just when it shot its gaze again, it lost the breath of Ye Qi, which was originally locked.
The next moment, almost instinctively, this former 'god' turned his head to look behind him, where eight swords appeared on Ye Qi's figure, enveloping its entire body.
Roar!
Let out a low beastly roar, the former 'god' gritted his teeth and withstood such a blow.
However, unexpectedly, such an attack was much lighter than expected, not even half of the originally estimated damage, and its attack of exchanging injuries for injuries also achieved the effect unexpectedly - two laser-like gazes went straight through the opponent's body, and the opponent disappeared into the air like a bubble.
Doppelganger?!
The former god, seeing the way the other party disappeared, immediately understood what was going on, and the energy fluctuations that appeared behind it again made it rush forward without thinking about it—it didn't think that its form could withstand the blow that the other party had been planning for a long time.
But, once again, it was surprised.
When it rushed out of a distance, the figure with energy fluctuations, although chasing itself, did not have the slightest strong wind to break through the air.
Phantom?!
The figure that broke with a single blow did not make the former 'god' feel the slightest joy - on the contrary, its uneasiness became more and more intense.
Previously a doppelganger, now a phantom......
So where is the real body?
PS The third day of the Lunar New Year ~ the first change ~
Decadent is resting at home today, and he should have finished the code earlier; However, as soon as I rested, all kinds of soreness and softness, I woke up at eight o'clock in the morning, and I lay down on the bed until almost twelve o'clock before I got up!
Alas, the New Year, although lively, but the fatigue seems to be proportional!! (To be continued......)
