445 ruins of civilization
After gobbling up the food brought by Xiqi, Li Xiang let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he had only recovered. Now that he has recovered from his injuries and his physical strength is at full value, even if those Imperial Black Helmet warriors who are chasing Rand reappear, he is sure that he will kill thousands of troops and escape calmly.
However, now is not the time to relax, Li Xiang's "Jiuyang Divine Skill" has not yet been completed, and the recovery is not so fast, and it is still full of worries. So after he had eaten, the first thing he said was, "Miss Xiqi, do you have any airtight iron boxes or anything like that?" ”
Xiqi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No! What's the use of that thing? ”
Li Xiang also knew that it was embarrassing to ask a girl who lived in the mountains for such a thing, so he was not annoyed, but just smiled: "If you don't have it, forget it." By the way, what about your grandfather? Why don't you see him? ”
Xiqi said: "Grandpa said that your body still needs to be recuperated, and he went into the mountains to collect medicine and hunt for you." But I see you've fully recovered, and you don't need to take any more medication at all. How did you recover so quickly? It's incredible! ”
Li Xiang practiced "Jiuyang Divine Skill", although he did not deliberately heal his injuries, but the healing special effects of "Jiuyang Divine Skill" still played a role, so that Li Xiang's injuries scabbed over in just two days, and it did not affect his actions at all. It's just that how to explain it to Xiqi is more troublesome, people in this plane don't know what martial arts are, do you want Li Xiang to start with the basic concept? So he could only fool and say, "This is a special ability of mine." ”
Xiqi didn't mean to delve into it, but after listening to Li Xiang's explanation, he nodded as if he didn't understand. Then I got excited again. said: "Now that you have recovered, I will take you to see a good place." It's right on the hillside behind the house! ”
Li Xiang can see that Xiqi grew up with her grandfather since she was a child. Never had a playmate of the same age. Now that there is suddenly one more Li Xiang, it is inevitable that he is a little excited, and he wants to show off any good things. Although Li Xiang wears the skin of Rand, he is actually an old man, and he treats Xiqi like a junior. Although he was not very interested in that good place, he liked Xiqi's youthful vitality and didn't want to spoil her interest, so he nodded and said, "What good place?" Take me to see it. ”
Xiqi took Li Xiang to the back of the house and walked down the winding path. Passing through a wooded area, it suddenly became clear that there was a flat land with a radius of nearly a mile, and there was no grass, which was in stark contrast to the lush woods around it.
Li Xiang's eyes froze, and he looked at the clearing with a slight frown. Such an evil place is obviously not naturally formed. Combined with the background of this story, it is likely that this vacant land was left by weapons such as nuclear bombs at the time of the cataclysm. It's just that this weapon is much more domineering than a nuclear-bomb. Even after thousands of years, the pollution has not completely dissipated, and it is still harming future generations.
Xiqi was not surprised, and saw Li Xiang looking at the open space in a daze. "This kind of place is poisonous, and whatever you plant will die," he explained. Don't set foot in such a place, or you'll be poisoned. ”
Li Xiang asked, "Are there many places like this?" ”
Xiqi said: "There are many places like this. Therefore, many people are reluctant to live in Longshou Mountain, saying that this is the place where the devil has cast a poisonous curse. Grandpa said. When he traveled around the world, he had not only seen this kind of poisonous land. I've also seen a big deep hole hit by thunder, it's terrifying! ”
Li Xiang was silent for a moment and said, "This is the kind of place you brought me to see?" ”
Xiqi smiled: "Of course not, what kind of good place is this?" Follow me! ”
As she spoke, Syki held out her hand. Li Xiang hesitated, but still stretched out his hand to hold her little hand. Xiqi didn't think so much, pulled Li Xiang around the poisonous land, and climbed a small hill.
Siqi's little hands are slender and soft, and they feel great to hold in their hands. At this time, Xiqi realized that it was very exciting for him and Li Xiang to hold hands, and even the roots of his ears were red. This made Li Xiang smile slightly, and his affection for the innocent Xiqi doubled. But at this time, it seemed too deliberate to let go of Xiqi's hand, and he simply pretended not to know anything, so as not to make the little girl even more embarrassed.
Finally arriving at the good place that Siqi had said, she pointed forward and said, "Look, there it is!" ”
Li Xiang took the opportunity to let go of Xiqi and looked in the direction she pointed out, only to find that there was a large circular pit at the foot of the mountain, with a diameter of more than half a mile. There are also two railroad tracks at the bottom of the pit, which cross the pit crookedly and sink into the mountains on both sides.
Xiqi didn't understand, but Li Xiang knew what it was at a glance. It was clearly a subway station, and somehow the top had collapsed, revealing the railroad tracks below. The area of this subway station is obviously more than half a mile in size, but the rest of the station is buried in the earth, and only a small part is exposed. But for people on this plane, just this small part is enough to shake people's hearts.
You must know that the iron-smelting technology of this era is still very primitive, and the weapons and armor equipped with a force of 10,000 people are enough for the blacksmiths of an empire to work for several years. And the two railroad tracks in front of you, even if you don't count the part that goes into the mountain, just the two half a mile long are enough to weigh tens of thousands of catties, how can it not make people frightened?
Li Xiang had no interest in the railroad tracks, but Xiqi never got tired of looking at it, and excitedly pulled Li Xiang to the edge of the pit, looked down at the scene at the bottom of the pit and said: "I heard my grandfather say that in the distant past, there was a civilization that disappeared, and this big pit may be the remains of that civilization." ”
Li Xiang smiled lightly and didn't speak, just accompanied Xiqi, watching her look forward to the vanishing civilization. It's a pity that the time for Xiqi to look forward to it is too short, and they hear a whistling sound from each other, and a group of people gallop towards this side on horseback, about fifteen or sixteen people.
When Xiqi heard the voice and looked back, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she scolded in a low voice: "It's these villains again!" ”
Li Xiang and the others stood at the edge of the pit, the terrain was open, and it was impossible to hide at all, and the other party was riding a horse again, and they were soon surrounded. A strong man at the head said in a tone that did not fit his figure: "My little Xiqi, won't my brother scream when he comes?" ”
A tall and thin young man said suspiciously: "Colonel, I see that your little lover has thrown into the arms of others. ”
Another sturdy man continued: "Looking at their red faces and hot ears, maybe they have just solved it on the spot, and they are very happy!" ”
Xiqi's face flushed with anger from them, and she scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
Li Xiang also frowned slightly, but he didn't just scold like Xiqi, but reached out and pulled Xiqi behind him, and said to these guys: "Get off the horse and kowtow to apologize, otherwise I don't guarantee that you can see the sun tomorrow!" ”
The men were all between twenty and thirty years old, and they all had bows and arrows, axes, shuttles and other weapons in their hands, and most of the clothes on their bodies were sewn from animal skins. These people usually fight with fierce beasts, and they have always been self-defeating and brave, but now there are more than a dozen people, how can they take Li Xiang's words as a threat? Instead, they took it as a joke and laughed: "This guy is crazy, right?" How dare you talk to us like that? You ......"
Before they could finish speaking, Li Xiang slowly pulled out his sword and said, "It seems that you don't plan to do what I say, so you should die!" ”
Before the words fell, Li Xiang had already shot out like a leopard, and the sword in his hand was like lightning, and before these guys could react, they cut the throats of three of them. In the splattering of blood, the three guys who had been talking nonsense just now lost their lives and fell from their horses.
This scene calmed everyone, especially Xiqi, who even screamed loudly after a pause. This made Li Xiang very helpless, was he killing the enemy? What are you screaming for?
In the screams of Siqi, the other hunters also reacted. However, they did not run away, but rushed towards Li Xiang with red eyes, wanting to avenge their companions. And Li Xiang didn't know what it meant to be polite, the sword technique unfolded, like the sword light of snow through the rough blocking of the hunters, or picking the throat, or stabbing the heart, killing one person with one sword, and never falling short. In an instant, seven or eight more people were killed and turned into scattered corpses.
The rest of the hunters knew that they were powerful, and their courage quickly disappeared, and they hurriedly turned their horses' heads to escape. But since Li Xiang has opened the killing ring, how can he let them go back to report the news? immediately chased after him and killed three people in a row again. The remaining three were very experienced and ran away separately, letting Li Xiang chase and kill any of them, and the other two could escape.
It's a pity that they underestimated Li Xiang too much, he didn't chase anyone, just picked up three finger-sized stones from the ground, shook his hands and beat them out. Hearing only three whistles that broke through the air, the three people who had just run out of a dozen steps away burst into three clouds of blood mist and fell under the horses one after another.
Killing all these people is not even a warm-up for Li Xiang. But Xiqi began to look at him with strange eyes and said, "Why are you so cruel? They just said a few words, how can you suddenly kill someone? ”
Li Xiang has long experienced the innocence of this girl, but it is a little stupid to be so innocent. He reluctantly explained, "If I don't kill them, we will all die!" I don't want to see you die, and you don't want to see your grandfather die, do you? ”
Xiqi said excitedly: "You don't talk nonsense, they can't help you at all, how can they kill us?" ”
Without waiting for Li Xiang to answer, the old man appeared and said, "Xiqi, he is right, if they don't die, we will die." Now there are troops all over the hill who are hunting for this kid, and if the colonel is let go back, they will probably run to the informant, and then we will be surrounded by the army. Therefore, this kid is right to kill people and kill people. However, he was so decisive at a young age, and he really deserved to be the son of Lanling. (To be continued.) )
