Chapter 16: The human heart, the heart of the beast
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed since Lu Puyi entered Talbar's training. Lu Puyi was about to go deeper into the forest, he had been wandering around the edge for the whole year, and now he could no longer satisfy his cultivation.
The sun was scorching, and the towering trees could not hide the sun's anger, and Lu Puyi, who was walking on the road, was already sweating profusely.
"Huhu...... Old You, it's so hot now, can I not carry this stone on my back? ”
The current Lu Puyi has completely changed his appearance compared to before, he has grown a lot, and his messy short hair is cut with potholes. Naked and sturdy upper body, the lower body is wearing pants made of hay and leaves, and the whole person is tanned to a degree. He carried a boulder on his back, which he would not have recognized if he had been seen by a former acquaintance.
"Of course not, I said you weren't allowed to throw a stone unless it threatened your life. "The obscene old man is still very stern when he is serious.
"Okay. Lu Puyi muttered helplessly, tightened the boulder on his back and continued to move forward.
I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden noise of people in front, Lu Puyi hadn't seen anyone here for a year. Although there are many people who enter the Talbar Forest, there are those who cultivate, those who explore and hunt for treasures, and those who hunt soul beasts and sell them to make money. But because the forest is so big, it's not easy to see people from person to person. So the people who came in were basically a team of several people, and there were still a few people like Lu Puyi who came in alone.
Hearing the voice, Lu Puyi was very excited and hurriedly ran to see what was going on. It didn't take long for Lu Puyi, who was walking like a fly, to the source of the sound, and when he looked at it, he found that it was two teams of people facing each other.
On one side were three big men, swearing at the people opposite, raising weapons in their hands as if they would smash them at any moment. On the other side was an elderly couple, both of whom were standing on a long wooden staff, and their steps were hobbling as if they were about to fall. In the middle of the two teams lay a snow-white fox with all four legs and mouth tied.
"Stinky old man dead old woman, you guys get away for me, this snow fox was caught by us, you two are here to join in the fun. "The big man spat and the stars flew sideways.
"You, how unreasonable are you. I just said that this snow fox is our pet, and my wife and I have been raising it for more than ten years. A few days ago, it ran out and didn't come home.,I guess it's lost.,That's why I went out with my wife to look for it.,I don't want to be caught by a few of you and sold as a soul beast.,It's unacceptable.。 The old man explained tremblingly.
"Phew, dead old man, you said it was your pet, and I said it was my pet, brothers. ”
"Haha, yes, yes. The two big men next to him laughed.
"What are you laughing at, it's really our family. You see the bell around its neck, I sent it, and it has my soul mark in it. Saying that, the old man urged the battle spirit, and a trace of dark cyan war spirit burst out. At the same time, the bell shook as if it had been sensed, and at the same time, it also emitted a trace of dark cyan war spirit.
"You should believe that. ”
"Yo yo, the stinky old man is still in the late stage of the cyan war spirit, what is the show. The fox is ours, and we have the ability to rob it. As he spoke, the big man reached out and grabbed the fox in his hand, because of the pain, the fox kept struggling, and his mouth was tied and he could only hum.
"You, you deceive too much. The old man urged the dark cyan battle spirit, raised the wooden staff and struck it.
"Bang"
After a scream, the old man flew to the ground, and the big man opposite was surrounded by a light blue war spirit, holding a mace in both hands, and the long barbs on the stick looked very hideous.
"Haha, old man who doesn't think he can do anything. Lao Tzu is a full two levels above you, go die, old man, the deadly stinger. ”
I saw that the big man attached the battle spirit to the mace, and every thorn on the stick flowed with a light blue liquid, which seemed to be a poisonous soul skill. The big man ran towards the old man, and saw that the mace was about to hit the old man's body.
"Bang"
The sound of the stone cracking, the big man looked at the stone on the ground that had been broken by himself, and looked up vigilantly into the distance.
"Who? ”
"Ah...... Wow wow. A teenager stepped out of the hidden grass and yawned.
"It's worthy of the early stage of the Blue War Spirit, and throwing such a big stone at you won't hurt you in the slightest. Lu Puyi said lazily.
"Where's the nosy stinky boy, I'll kill you. Saying that, the big man also urged the war spirit to threaten. The two partners around him also urged the battle spirit respectively, both of which were in the early stage of the blue war spirit.
"Lad, you don't have to worry about us, they're amazing. Big deal, we don't want snow foxes. The old woman held the injured old man, her wrinkled face full of tears.
"Don't worry, grandma, I'll take care of this today. Lu Puyi waved his hand and turned to face the three big men.
"The blue battle spirit is very powerful in the early stage, right, bullying the old man," Lu Puyi said and urged the battle spirit, and streams of rich dark blue mixed with purple battle spirit surged on his body.
"What, the peak of the Blue Fighting Spirit. Dahan exclaimed, how could he not expect the young boy in front of him to be so powerful.
The big man behind him quietly asked the one in front of him, "What should I do, big brother." The big man in front thought for a while, and waved his hand, "The idea is hard, withdraw." ”
After speaking, the three of them quickly ran back, leaving a sentence, "You three wait for me......"
Lu Puyi raised his hand to look at the three who fled, breathed a sigh of relief, and took back the battle spirit on his body.
"Thank you, really thank you young man. The old couple was about to kneel while crying.
"I can't do it. Lu Puyi helped the two of them up, "It's just a gesture, I believe that anyone with justice in their hearts will help." ”
"I believe that there are still many good people in the world, but the situation was so critical at that time, the other party was too powerful, and you still stood up, it was too brave. The old man complimented.
"Where, where. Lu Puyi scratched his head embarrassedly, "I also saw that the battle spirit on the other side was a little lower than me, and I speculated that they were bullies, so I urged a war spirit that was stronger than them to scare them away." If I do fight, I won't necessarily be the opponent of the three of them. ”
"Admire, old decay really admires. At a young age, with such a big picture and observation, he will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among people in the future. The old couple both gave a thumbs up.
"Haha, don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Lu Puyi was embarrassed to be praised.
"Young man, you've been living in the wilderness for a long time, right?"
"Yes, I came here to cultivate alone, in order to make myself stronger. Lu Puyi clenched his fists and said firmly.
"Young people have courage, so let's do it, my wife and I have a humble house nearby, if you don't dislike it, go over and have a light meal, and then you give a covering. The old man pointed not far away.
"Thank you so much, grandpa, I'm just hungry, haha. ”
"No thanks, no thanks, let's go. ”
"Well, let's go, but what about the snow fox, uncle......" Lu Puyi pointed to the snow fox lying on the ground.
"Oh, yes, I forgot to talk to you. As he spoke, he grabbed the snow fox and prepared to leave.
"Grandpa, won't you untie it?" Lu Puyi asked strangely.
"Don't panic, let's not go home in a hurry, I'll untie it when I get home. The old man waved his hand.
Although Lu Puyi has questions, it is not easy to ask too much about this as a matter of other people. On the way, two people asked and answered, and unconsciously came to a small wooden house.
"This is the Humble House, come, let's go in. The old man was warmly welcomed.
Lu Puyi was entertained by the old couple, had a full meal, put on a set of linen clothes, and lay down to rest beautifully. In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt something bite him, and he hurriedly woke up to find that the snow fox was biting his trouser legs.
Lu Puyi kicked the snow fox away with a light kick and muttered, "A soul beast is a soul beast, I saved your life and bit me." ”
However, the snow fox still didn't give up, jumped over and bit Lu Puyi's trouser leg again, and made a gesture to support it.
"What do you mean, let me go?"
Snow Fox nodded vigorously as if he could understand human words, and his eyes showed anxiety like a human.
Lu Puyi felt a little blind, but still decided to go out to see what the snow fox meant, and just as he stood up, a cold voice came from the darkness.
"Young man, where are you going so late. ”
Lu Puyi fixed his eyes and found that it was an old husband and wife.
"It's okay, the snow fox pulled me out to have a look, and I went out for a walk with it. ”
Suddenly, the snow fox let out a miserable scream, and the bell around his neck was windless, and a trace of light purple war spirit came out of the bell and floated to the old man's wooden staff. I saw that the old man's whole body urged a light purple battle spirit, and a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You little brute who eats inside and out, I'll let you eat the taste of my deadly bell. The bell shook even more, and the screams of the snow fox intensified.
"Grandpa, you ......"
The old woman on the side also urged a light purple battle spirit, and with a wave of the wooden staff, a rope flew out and tied Lu Puyi.
"Silly boy, it's too late to figure it out now. My wife and I and the three children work so hard every time we act, isn't it just to deceive a fool like you, your flesh and blood must be delicious. The old lady smiled wickedly.
"When we saw you coming from afar, we wanted to sneak attack and kill you when we were acting, but I didn't expect you to have the peak of the blue battle spirit at such a young age, and my three sons couldn't beat you.
My wife and I didn't have 100% certainty of winning you in the early stage of the purple battle spirit, so we had to make this plan and trick you in, we had already closed our souls in the meal, and then you were trapped by my life-killing golden lock, and now you definitely can't urge a little soul power. Hahaha, I'm going to eat you. ”
"The snow fox, who has been used by us to act, dares to betray us and secretly wants to let you run, so this hateful beast will eat it together. The old man and the old woman smiled wickedly like hungry ghosts from hell and walked towards Lu Puyi......
