Chapter Twenty-Three: A Strange City
What was Si Xingfeng thinking in his heart at this moment, that strange-looking beast couldn't take care of it. I saw that this little thing first tentatively let out a few screams like a baby's cry, and then shook its body, its limbs violently exerted force, waved its front paws, and grabbed at Si Xingfeng's face.
Si Xingfeng had already felt the power of the other party in a hurry, and now he saw that it was coming very fast, and he didn't dare to underestimate it in his heart. So he didn't confront it head-on, but only dexterously controlled his body to flash to the side, and when he couldn't borrow his strength in the air, he slashed the sharp dagger in his hand at the back of the little monster.
This strange-looking guy will call him a fox cat for the time being. Si Xingfeng thought that his knife would go down, not to mention that he could directly cut the fox cat in two, and it could also seriously injure it. But I didn't want this fox cat to be in such a situation where he couldn't borrow his strength, his tail trembled, and his speed suddenly increased several times, and he dodged his powerful blow in the blink of an eye.
Although he was a little surprised, Si Xingfeng was not an inexperienced rookie, but he knew that any life that could survive outside the floating city was definitely not to be underestimated. The fox cat pounced on Si Xingfeng twice in a row, and seemed to be a little annoyed, but he didn't make any adjustments, turned around and attacked him again.
Si Xingfeng smelled the foul smell from the other party's body, resisted the urge to vomit, and waved the beautiful dagger in his hand impenetrable. It's just that it's not a matter if it goes on like this, Si Xingfeng is not afraid of the sharp claws of this fox cat, but he really can't stand the unpleasant smell that envelops the air around him.
Taking a few steps back quickly, Si Xingfeng widened the distance between him and the fox cat, and hurriedly took two breaths of fresh air, which calmed down his already somewhat faint brain a little. However, when the fox cat saw him retreating, he was unforgiving, and he also firmly stuck to Si Xingfeng and followed.
Si Xingfeng knew that it would be difficult to get rid of this beast that was more dexterous and agile than himself, and he was also moved by the killing intent in his heart at this moment. I saw that he first used the dagger in his right hand as a flying knife, and quickly threw it between the eyebrows of the fox cat that was galloping and pounced, smoothly delaying the mad beast's running speed. Then Si Xingfeng counterattacked, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and his right arm first quickly accumulated strength and slapped to the ground, and then saw his whole body suddenly relax, and he rose up with inertia volley, and quickly kicked out his legs.
These two legs, one after the other, came in a row, fast and violent, even the agile fox cat didn't have time to react, and in just an instant, it was pulled to the neck by Si Xingfeng's two whip legs one after another.
The right leg came first, only to hear the sound of "click", the fox cat's neck bone was kicked out of place, and the left leg carrying the strength of Si Xingfeng's whole body came first, and it was a "boom", kicking the head of the beast away from its body at once.
Si Xingfeng gasped heavily, and at this time, he didn't care how bad the smell of blood and the fishy body smell of the fox cat was, obviously this obviously complex thunder blow also consumed a lot of his physical strength.
But now is not the time to rest, just wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, Si Xingfeng hurriedly straightened up, first picked up the dagger on the ground, and then carried the marching bag that had been thrown on the street behind him, and he quickly left here.
has been by Xiao Cong's side for so many years, although Si Xingfeng has not been contaminated with half of his treachery and ruthlessness, but the character of "carefully sailing a boat for ten thousand years", he has learned a lot of blue. In the vicinity of this empty street, Si Xingfeng knew that there would never be only one beast, so in order to avoid getting contaminated with the smell of blood and attracting the attention of other beasts, he chose to leave quickly, and he didn't even have time to check the corpse of the fox cat.
Si Xingfeng knew very well that his first task now was to find Xiao Cong and them first, otherwise with his small arms and legs, it would be difficult to say whether he could see the sun tomorrow alive in this strange ruin. Having a trustworthy partner or team that can rely on each other has always been the highest priority course for those with extensive experience in the wilderness.
Looking around vigilantly, the calm Si Xingfeng did not shout the names of Xiao Cong and the others loudly, but crept slowly along the street, looking for the most eye-catching buildings around.
The city's architecture is peculiar, not the urban style that the Old World East is most aware of, but a modern Gothic style full of contradictions and dark colors. Perhaps because of his own race and bloodline, Si Xingfeng has always been closer to the ancient Eastern country with a long and coherent history of civilization in the many memories imprinted in his brain.
In contrast, these ostentatious domes and sculptures, which are full of mystery and gloom, as well as the buildings that are colorful but reveal loneliness and despair, make him feel great discomfort in his heart all the time. Fortunately, at this time, the sky was bright, and Si Xingfeng would not lose the courage to continue walking in such a decadent and gloomy building complex.
Turning a street corner, Si Xingfeng suddenly came to the square in the center of this strange city that had once served as an experimental base. Si Xingfeng only looked at it from a distance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. Worthy of being a "student" taught by a teacher, Si Xingfeng just glanced at it, and saw two familiar figures under the huge spire sculpture in the center of the square.
One of them had a slightly bent back, gray and bald hair, and it was the teacher who taught him how to drive a floating machine and survive in the wild. And now the person on Gu Qi's side is covered with gorgeous armor, and there are four iron-gray alloy feet extending from the waist down, it is not Xiao Cong, who is it.
Seeing this, Si Xingfeng was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked towards the two of them. And when he walked in front of the two, he realized that Gucci, who had always been neat and decent, was wearing a tattered combat uniform. Not only that, but he also saw that Gucci's back waist was constantly oozing blood. And although Xiao Cong was still intact and wrapped in his own expensive equipment, Xiao Cong was also keenly aware that the cyan gem on his waist, which was used as an energy source, was much dimmer than before the people were separated.
Looking at the two of them suspiciously, Si Xingfeng was eager to know what had happened to the two of them before, and whether they had encountered something similar to him. Without waiting for Si Xingfeng to speak, Xiao Cong seemed to have seen his doubts. "Lao Gu and I have just met, and you just finished bandaging his wounds, and you came over!"
"Ahem, ahem." Gucci's face turned pale and he coughed incessantly, obviously not only suffering external injuries, but also his inner abdomen. "I'm sure you've noticed it too, it looks like the four of us just stepped on that street, and we were scattered for some reason!"
Si Xingfeng took out his water bottle from his backpack, handed it to Gu Qi, motioned for him to moisten his throat, and spoke slowly. Gu Qi nodded slightly, reached out and took the kettle, only slightly moistened his chapped lips and continued: "I didn't know what was going on at the time, but when I came back to my senses and found that I was alone, and you were not around, I found that there were actually three strange beasts shaped like tigers and leopards surrounding me. ”
"Although I'm old, I've been on the battlefield after all!" Although Gucci was deeply injured at this moment, there was still no lack of pride in his words. "Although those beasts look extremely powerful, I always felt that they didn't seem to have much experience in fighting, so I paid some price for my life, but I still killed them all."
Stretching out his hands, he made a simple gesture in the void, "Three beasts, each with a body no less than two meters long, if I encounter three carnivorous beasts of this size in the wasteland, I have no chance of survival." ”
After listening to what Gu Qi said, Si Xingfeng expected that Xiao Cong was probably in a similar situation, so he raised his head and subconsciously looked at the other party. Coincidentally, Xiao Cong was also observing Si Xingfeng at this time, so the eyes of the two coincidentally met in one place. It's just that Si Xingfeng has always pretended to be honest and stupid in front of Xiao Cong, but now although he has released his nature coldly, he still can't help but feel a little weak, so he quickly looked away in a little panic.
The corners of Xiao Cong's mouth were slightly raised, and he didn't seem to care much about it, "I'm similar to you Gu, but I met two strange birds." Although these two guys are tricky and not so easy to deal with, fortunately, my armor is extremely hard, and they can't hurt me at all, and I finally wear them to death. ”
When Gu Qi heard this, a flash of clarity quickly flashed in his eyes, which were originally dull from injury and exhaustion: "Snake Lord, I wonder if you have noticed that after you killed them, there were any corpses left?" ”
"I didn't pay attention to this, I was worried that the smell of blood would attract the attention of the other beasts, so I quickly left, just thinking about finding the most obvious place as soon as possible, so that I could wait for you to meet!" Xiao Cong thought about it for a moment and responded.
Gu Qi looked at Si Xingfeng again, and seemed to be asking him the same question.
"Teacher Gucci, what I met was a monster with two tails, three points like a fox and seven points like a night cat, stinking, although not large, but also very difficult." Si Xingfeng said a little crampedly, "Later, I used the technique you taught me, what is it called a stray hammer chain leg, and kicked its head off. ”
"I wanted to check the monster's corpse, but the smell was so bad that I was worried about the danger of the smell of blood, so I quickly left. And then didn't I just turn that intersection and see you! Si Xingfeng pointed to the intersection he had just passed. But when he turned his gaze, there was no intersection in that place, and it was simply a huge ribbed vault, a tall building with a clear Gothic style!
