Chapter 19: Embarkation
Because Gandalf, the old necromancer, was stronger than expected, the Undead Summoning Scroll caused temporary chaos in Radiant City, and also increased the success rate of Li Xiaotian's plan to fake his death a lot.
Li Xiaotian controlled the blood-red hand, dragged the body of the dead street child, and dragged it into the riverside house that caused the fire with a fireball technique.
Then the blood-red hand dragged the charred corpse to the river and waited for Li Xiaotian under the arch bridge. Everything seemed to be perfect, but Li Xiaotian didn't expect that there would be a crossbow arrow attack from the defending army, which directly pierced his body and almost killed him.
And Li Xiaotian also underestimated the damage of the fireball technique, and now his body burns are too high, fortunately, the strong breeding mecha that arrived in time carried out the armed symbiosis of the strong breeding mecha, otherwise Li Xiaotian would really die.
Now, because of the continuous bleeding and burns on his body, Li Xiaotian can only re-plan his escape route, and everything is under the most rapid and concealed conditions, leaving the river as soon as possible and reaching the south city gate as the first condition.
The south gate of Guangyao City is not so much a city gate as a large wharf, and many sea materials in and out of Guangyao City are transported from this big wharf.
Of course, at the confluence of the river below this large pier, many metal nets and magic arrays are set up under the river to prevent the demon beasts and mutant beasts in the big river from entering Shining City from the river water and endangering the civilians.
It is precisely because of this large dock that the development speed of Shining City has become one of the thirty-six great cities of mankind above other nearby cities.
----
Because of the necromantic creatures summoned by the necromancer Gandalf in Shining City, without the command and assistance of the necromancer, they were gradually wiped out by many professionals in Shining City. Radiant City didn't even activate the defensive magic array, after all, under the premise that there was no danger to the survival of Glorious City, the spar energy consumed by the defensive magic array was too large to be opened.
Some secret forces have already sent people to the small river under the arch bridge to salvage Li Xiaotian's body.
With the help of some magic markers, the corpse of a child who was charred and unrecognizable, with a crossbow arrow stuck in the upper body of the defending army, was quickly recovered from the river and brought ashore.
According to the magic tracking devices of the major forces in Radiant City, the charred body of the child is Li Xiaotian, the only orphan of the Li clan in Heavenly Sword City.
"Burn him! It is claimed that Li Xiaotian, the orphan of Heavenly Sword City and the grandson of human hero Li Longtian, was killed in the first year of the new year of the Radiance Continent in 987 when he attacked Glory City to defend the invasion of dark creatures in the fight against undead creatures. "After receiving the report from his subordinates, the city lord of Shining City issued this official document, and then notified the Holy See branch of Shining City.
The city lord of Radiant City thought that this dead Li Xiaotian still had a marriage contract with his granddaughter after all, and if the dead Li Xiaotian was involved with the necromancer Gandalf, it would not have a good impact on Glorious City and his Bing clan.
The aftermath of the dead child Li Xiaotian and the statement to the outside world were no longer of much concern to the Bright Sect, and the Bright Sect acquiesced in the city lord's handling of it.

Li Xiaotian swam quickly in the river with the help of the palm of the strong breeding mecha, hunting and devouring various creatures at the bottom of the river to maintain his own blood loss as he swam.
Li Xiaotian finally swam to the dock outside the South City Gate with difficulty an hour later.
Through chip detection, Li Xiaotian found a low-lying area sheltered by a magic boat, and climbed up from the river with the help of a strong breeding mecha.
Near the docks, slaves are disembarking cargo boxes from animal carts, passing through the magic inspection door, and sending them to the magic ship parked outside the South City Gate.
At the moment, it was daytime, and there were too many people on the dock, so Li Xiaotian could only take refuge in the low-lying area on the bank of the river.
After coming out of the water, Li Xiaotian began to distribute the energy of the Breeding Mecha to treat his own injuries, but it only had a temporary restraining effect.
"Higher cells need to be phagocytosed in order to recover the host body." The voice of the chip prompted in Li Xiaotian's mind, but now Li Xiaotian, who was almost crippled, had no way to kill people silently in broad daylight.
"Distribute as much energy as possible, ensure that the supply of my life is the highest premise, and when it is night, I will provide energy to devour biological cells!"
---
At night, the sky became dark, and Li Xiaotian, who was lying in the low-lying area of the dock, was now stuck in the mud because he hadn't moved for too long.
Li Xiaotian followed the instructions of the chip in his brain, and at the closest distance to him, there was a wooden box with the breath of life in it.
"The chip, which stimulates my body's hormones, gives me the ability to move for a short period of time." Li Xiaotian commanded the chip in his brain, and then a stream of heat spread all over his body, making Li Xiaotian's almost numb and unconscious body have strength again, but Li Xiaotian knew that once the stimulating effect of this hormone was over, if he had not devoured life, what was waiting for him would be complete death and destruction.
Li Xiaotian limped up from the mud in pain, and in the dark night, walked to the dock next to a large wooden box. The arm of the strong breeding mecha cut a round hole in the wooden box, and Li Xiaotian drilled into it.
The arm of the Strongman Mecha turned into slender fingers, and he actually picked up the fallen wooden cover and quickly reglued it back.
After entering the wooden box, Li Xiaotian saw through the night vision function that inside the box, there was a human being about his size in a coma, all wearing shabby clothes.
Li Xiaotian, who already felt that the cells in his body were about to die, couldn't care too much, and directly controlled the blood-red right hand of the Qiangzhi Mecha, stretched out the middle finger of the Qiangzhi Mecha, and directly penetrated the head of the unconscious human child.
The right finger of the strong breeding mecha quickly devoured the energy, and the little boy's body became shriveled at a speed visible to the right eye, and finally only the coat and hair were left, not even the ashes.
After devouring a little boy's energy, the chip began to use this energy to repair Li Xiaotian's body.
"The host, the cellular energy obtained, is able to restore some of the host's severe burns to the skin tissue and chest trauma.
However, the kneecap of the host's left leg is soaked in water for too long, which requires a lot of energy and time to recover, and the wound at the host's crossbow arrow is temporarily suppressed, and it is impossible to do strenuous exercise.
The skin tissue on the host's body was slightly burned, and it could not be cured this time because the phagophagotic energy was not enough. The voice of the chip sounded in Li Xiaotian's head.
Li Xiaotian put on the clothes of the dead little boy and began to use the chip to probe several similar wooden boxes nearby.
In each wooden box, there was an unconscious child in shabby clothes, both boy and girl, about four to nine years old.
"Maybe I'm a slave trader, so it's okay, at least I can leave Shining City sooner." Li Xiaotian thought about it, closed his eyes, lay down on the wooden board, and began to sleep.
Today, all day long, Li Xiaotian started from escaping from the comprehensive college in the morning, to hiding after surfacing, in order to prevent being discovered, Li Xiaotian did not dare to rest, he was covered in burns and other small wounds and pain for a day, and now he is barely healed.
