Terran Terran Territory - Wanhe Village, Xifeng Town, Dongli Island

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is refreshing

Located in the forest between the west coast of Dongli Island and Wanhe Village, there is a unique courtyard with dozens of exquisitely made and sturdy-looking scarecrow dolls. Chu Xingqiao, dressed in a loose blue martial arts training uniform, stood in the center of the puppet and muttered thoughtfully:

"The human body has a total of 365 bone joints, 72 numbness, 36 dead points, 100 acupoints on the top of the head, Hongtang on the back of the ears, two cheeks for the horns of the teeth, and the left and right of the Adam's apple for the two ...... of qi and food."

Suddenly, Chu Xingqiao quickly moved to the nearest puppet, and stretched out her two hands to hit the puppet's body alternately, although she only used two fingers to attack, but the straw on the straw puppet where she had clicked was already tattered, as if it had been poked with a knife, although the shape of the puppet was still intact, but the surface of the entire puppet was already unrecognizable, and the broken straw clippings were scattered all over the ground.

She didn't seem to have any intention of giving up, but listened to her shout in a crisp voice:

"Seven Wounds for Bone Removal! ……”

Then I saw the two fingers of her right hand slightly bent and opened, and her thumb changed into a 'grappler', and she quickly attacked the puppet.

"Click! Click! Click! ——”

After a few crisp sounds, the scarecrow doll in front of Chu Xingqiao's eyes, such as the jaw, shoulder blades, elbow bones, wrists, and other bone joints have been separated.

But the beauty is that although the key points of the doll made of straw have been broken, they have not completely fallen off, and several straws attached to the surface are still intact and connected to each place, making the scarecrow still appear to be in full human form.

She didn't stop moving, and quickly moved to the other puppet......

Two, three, four...... Soon all the dolls in the courtyard were like the first one......

"Oh no! Oh no! ”

There was a hurried sound in the distance, Chu Xingqiao immediately stopped his movements and looked out of the fence, only to see a boy about eight or nine years old running over in a panic, and when he arrived in front of Chu Xingqiao, the child's heels had not yet stood firm, so he said anxiously:

"Boss! Oh no! Oh no! ”

"What's wrong? Is it my grandfather who has news? ”

"Not grandpa! It's Brother Xing'er! ”

"Xing'er? What's wrong with Xing'er? ”

"He's going to be sent to the Demon City soon!"

Hearing this, Chu Xingqiao was startled at first, and then showed a puzzled expression:

"How is it possible, didn't the nobles just send a batch of boys and girls to the demon city a few days ago? Why do you want to send it again? ”

"I didn't know, the streets and alleys were full of signs, and I came to tell you as soon as I saw them."

Chu Xingqiao frowned, and immediately ran towards the village, and then the boy followed and asked worriedly:

"Boss, I heard that the little friends who are sent to the demon city will become slaves, they have no freedom, and they have to do a lot of heavy work, Brother Xing'er is already weak and sick, what if he can't survive in the demon city?"

Chu Xingqiao ran briskly, subconsciously clenched her fists, and she replied calmly:

"Don't worry! Let me think about it, it's because of me that he became what he is now, and I will do my best to protect him this time! ”

"But this is an order from the royal family, boss! Do you want to use force again? Nope! The little boy suddenly stopped and said with a solemn face.

Seeing this, Chu Xingqiao also stopped, she turned around and walked in front of the boy, bent down slightly and put her hands on the boy's shoulders and said:

"Little guy, is the boss the kind of brave and brainless guy in your eyes?"

The boy shook his head, but immediately nodded again, and said:

"Last time, you hit the Thirteenth Prince, and you were almost caught!"

Chu Xingqiao smiled with relief:

"Hey! Didn't I cover my face that time, that nerd prince didn't know who I was, this time the situation is different, I won't be so impulsive as you, you can rest assured! ”

"Then what are you going to do?" The boy asked.

Chu Xingqiao bit his lip thoughtfully, hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Do you know where Xing'er went?"

The boy shook his head:

"He's not at home, so he probably went to the beast forest to play again."

"In that case, you hurry up and find Xing'er, and then take him to the secret base of our cave to hide, and I will go to Xing'er's house to pick up Granny Chen, and we will meet again in a while."

"Good!" The boy was just about to leave, but Chu Xingqiao grabbed him and instructed:

"The stakes are very high, except for you and me, don't mention this matter to anyone you meet, so as not to affect other people, right?"

The boy hesitated slightly, but immediately nodded seriously and ran in the direction of the beast forest, and Chu Xingqiao also arrived at Xing'er's house after a wild run.

"Squeak-"

Chu Xingqiao softly pushed open the old wooden door and walked into the house and walked straight to the wooden bed behind the curtain, because Grandma Chen's leg was serious and she couldn't move around at will, so she stayed in bed for a long time, but when she walked to the bed, Chu Xingqiao found that Granny Chen was not there,

"Not there! Was it captured? ”

Sensing that something was wrong, Chu Xingqiao immediately walked out of the door, but before he could take two steps, he was blocked by two officers and soldiers wearing armor.

"Stop!"

"Huh?" Chu Xingqiao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart:

"Oops!"

As she expected, because she was the same age as Xing'er, she was regarded as Chen Xing'er in men's clothes.

"Boy! If you want to run away, hurry up and follow us, otherwise your grandma will die! The officers and soldiers shouted arrogantly.

"They captured Granny Chen!"

Chu Xingqiao hesitated whether to resist, but when she thought of the ruthless style of these officers and soldiers, she couldn't help it, she let go of her fist and asked calmly:

"I didn't run away, didn't I just come back when I heard the news, I'll go with you, you let go of your mother-in-law and grandma!"

"Less nonsense! If you delay the departure time, don't talk about your grandma, your whole village will die! ”

Chu Xingqiao naturally believed the words of the officers and soldiers, because she had already understood it.

But the matter has come to this, since she can't tell Xing'er's whereabouts and can't escape, she can only take one step at a time, but what makes her glad is that she still has the ability to protect herself compared to Xing'er, and it is also a relief to be able to exchange herself for Xing'er to stay.

As dusk approached, the cool sea breeze was blowing slowly and refreshingly, but the shouts of the officers and soldiers made the atmosphere look very tense.

Chu Xingqiao was pushed and came to the big ship in the port, at this time those nobles had already boarded the big ship, they were ecstatic standing on the bow of the boat, talking and laughing, and from time to time pointing at the civilian teenagers who were about to give the demon king as slaves next to the big boat.

"In the past! You! Get in the middle of the line! ”

After speaking, the officers and soldiers pushed Chu Xingqiao violently, but at this moment, a gangster-looking young man in the team suddenly shouted in surprise:

"Chu Xingqiao!!"

Chu Xingqiao was shocked when she heard someone call her name, she was worried that her identity would be discovered by the officers and soldiers, and Xing'er would suffer again, so she hurriedly replied:

"Hehe, tell Xing'er to be so close, it's so strange!"

As soon as the officers and soldiers heard Chu Xingqiao say this, they didn't care, and urged Chu Xingqiao into the ranks.

Chu Xingqiao stood in the team, glared at the gangster boy and punched his fists, seeing Chu Xingqiao looking at him fiercely The gangster boy seemed to realize something, so he stopped talking, but the few teenagers standing next to Chu Xingqiao couldn't help but wonder:

"Brother Xingqiao, you, why were you arrested too? I didn't see you on the list, did I? ”

"Shhhh Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, from now on, Xing'er is Chu Xingqiao, Chu Xingqiao is Xing'er, don't talk nonsense, otherwise ......"

Chu Xingqiao raised his hand and gestured around his neck, and several teenagers leaned back vigilantly.

At this moment, a harsh voice said in a mocking tone:

"It's really a brotherly love, and I jumped for him even though I knew it was a fire pit."

Hearing this familiar voice, Chu Xingqiao was stunned for a moment and turned his head sharply, as she expected, the person standing behind her was none other than the enemy who made Xing'er unable to practice martial arts in his life-Huo Yuan.

Seeing Huo Yuan Chu Xingqiao, he was shocked, and said in his heart:

"Oops!"
