Chapter 167: Request
This fierce battle made Du Jiujiu and his party exhausted, so they didn't go back to Professor Sun's house that night, and stayed directly in this villa.
After settling down the seriously injured people, Du Jiujiu and Luo Yucheng, who were in a better state, collected some food in the room, although it was not much, but it was barely enough for everyone to eat.
After dinner, everyone could no longer endure the mental and physical exhaustion, and after the final defences, they all fell into a deep sleep.
This break is a full three days.
During this period, except for Du Jiujiu, who occasionally caught some prey nearby during the day, everyone was hurrying to absorb energy in order to recover from their injuries as soon as possible.
In the past three days, in addition to Du Jiujiu and Luo Yucheng's bodies have recovered as before, An Cheng and Hu Xiaoyun's injuries have also recovered, and even Xiao Mo can get out of bed and move, only Wei Qingqing is still asleep, with no signs of waking up.
It was another silent night, with a red moon and stars.
Du Jiujiu was alone in the spacious living room, holding a long knife in his hand, practicing the chopping action over and over again.
Although he was just repeating the same action, in the process of continuous practice, Du Jiujiu gradually realized the subtle difference contained in the sword every time he made a move.
Not only strength and speed, but also the breathing and even the rate of your heartbeat when swinging the knife can affect the effect of the long knife after it is slashed.
In swinging the knife again and again, Du Jiujiu gradually gained more insight into the knife technique, she sank her whole body into it, and unconsciously reached a state of selflessness.
With the continuous practice, the muscles of the whole body were already trembling slightly under Du Jiujiu's almost harsh control, and a thin layer of sweat gradually oozed from her forehead, but none of this could bring her any effect.
Time passed at the same time, minute by minute.
"Whew!!"
Another flash of swords.
This time, Du Jiujiu's movements seemed to be exactly the same as before, but they seemed to be very different.
After the long knife was withdrawn, on the table in the corner of the living room, a vase suddenly split in two.
With this move just now, Du Jiujiu actually smashed a vase a few meters away with the fierce wind brought by the long knife.
"Okay, Jiujiu, your sword skills have reached another level!" I heard a clapping sound, and An Cheng's voice came from behind her.
"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
Du Jiujiu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, withdrew the knife into the scabbard, and turned to smile at An Cheng.
"Some of them couldn't sleep and wanted to come out to relax, but as soon as they came out, they saw you practicing knives here."
An Cheng said, his eyes fell on the vase that had just been shattered by Du Jiujiu.
"I have to say, you do have a talent for fighting. We've all changed a lot since we awakened, but you're always one step ahead of us. ”
An Cheng had actually been standing here for a long time, but Du Jiujiu had been obsessed with the moves and hadn't noticed it.
An Cheng can also be regarded as a person who understands kung fu, and he can see at a glance that Du Jiujiu is in a state of selflessness that can be met but unavoidable, so naturally he did not make a noise to disturb, but quietly guarded her on the side.
"An Cheng, don't make fun of me, I'm just a power powerhouse, and that's the room for improvement, if you don't work harder, you will be surpassed sooner or later."
Du Jiujiu pretended to shrug his shoulders easily, but there was still a trace of imperceptible loneliness in his tone.
The power ability is an important ability that has saved her again and again in times of crisis, but it also limits her future.
Compared to other abilities with infinite potential, strength abilities are too ordinary, with no kaleidoscopic tricks, no effective perks, and even in the end of the world, power abilities are cannon fodder.
Even if Du Jiujiu now relies on her strength far beyond ordinary people to crush other abilities who have not yet grown up, but in the near future, she will still be gradually thrown away by others.
"Jiujiu, you can't help but believe in talent, even if it's a strength ability, you're also the strongest strength ability I've ever seen. Besides, it's not so much that you get your current power because of your awakening ability, but rather that you're a natural warrior, and even if it's the end of the world, it's just a stage where you can shine. ”
Compared with Du Jiujiu's carelessness, An Cheng's expression was very serious, she really envied Du Jiujiu's fighting talent.
You must know that these fighting skills of the knife were taught by Luo Yucheng for a long time, and then she practiced hard for several years before she became so skilled, but Du Jiujiu only relied on herself, in less than two months, she was able to use the knife so skillfully, and even under the swing of the knife just now, she faintly touched the threshold of "knife intent".
You must know that this kind of thing is not something that can be achieved overnight like an awakening ability, and it depends more on understanding.
If there is a lack of understanding, then even if there is no strength, it is only brute force.
However, these words did not stir up a trace of waves in Du Jiujiu's heart, she only thought that An Cheng was comforting herself and wanted to make her heart feel better, she didn't want to stay in this matter longer, so she opened her mouth to change the topic.
"By the way, why can't you fall asleep all of a sudden, is there something on your mind?"
Du Jiujiu did ask with some doubts, in her memory, An Cheng has always gone to bed early and got up early, and insomnia like this is even rarer, I'm afraid there is something on her mind.
"Jiujiu, I do have something to say to you......" As expected, An Cheng lowered his voice, and there was a little more hesitation in his expression.
"Why are you still spitting, this is not like you." When Du Jiujiu saw An Cheng's appearance, the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.
"Actually...... I've decided to go to the imperial capital with my brother. ”
"What!?"
As soon as An Cheng's words fell, Du Jiujiu's eyes widened in surprise.
However, although An Cheng's decision was very sudden in Du Jiujiu's opinion, it was reasonable to think about it carefully, Luo Yucheng was An Cheng's relative, and it was indeed a good choice for her to go to the imperial capital with him to develop.
"However, I don't want to be separated from you, let's go to the imperial capital together, okay?? This subway station is a temporary stronghold, and it will not shelter us for the rest of our lives. According to my brother, the imperial capital has already established a base at the beginning of the last days, and our safety will definitely be more guaranteed when we get there! ”
An Cheng didn't wait for Du Jiujiu to say anything more, and hurriedly spoke again.
"Shall we go together?" Du Jiujiu was a little overwhelmed by An Cheng's sudden question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
