Chapter 350: Into the Prairie Ruins
Cleaning up the beast that sneaked up, Xiaohuo was slightly angry, the beast is a beast after all, even if it has a certain amount of wisdom, it can't be compared with humans, the giant ape said that he was a benefactor, but in the blink of an eye, he came to sneak attack, I really don't know if this beast is acting on its own or being instructed to come to test. But for whatever purpose, the beast is too dead to die, and this can be regarded as a warning to those beasts.
With a sigh, Xiaohuo dusted off the dust from his body and continued his journey. After Xiaohuo left, the giant ape and several beasts walked out from nearby, they looked at the corpses on the ground, and they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, Xiaohuo's strength was really strong, fortunately he didn't think about what he did, otherwise, he would have died on the spot like a fool on the ground. The beasts looked at each other, but no one made a sound, and after one last glance at the corpse on the ground, which had been halved in half, the beasts quickly left, and none of them looked back again.
As time passed, the injuries in Xiaohuo's body were no longer serious, and he almost returned to the state he was in before the injury. This recovery speed has a lot to do with the Wind Slashing Greatsword, which is not only a powerful weapon, but also an ability that allows the wielder to quickly recover from injuries. Before, Xiaohuo had barely been seriously injured, and she had almost forgotten the recovery ability of the Wind Slashing Greatsword. But as her injuries recovered quickly, Xiao Huo finally remembered this important ability of the Wind Slashing Greatsword, and she couldn't help but feel a little glad that she could get this weapon.
Now thinking back to the effort he put in to get this weapon in the first place, Xiao Huo's handsome face showed a hint of solemnity. The Wind Slashing Greatsword is the most powerful weapon in the family, and only the heirs of the family can possess it. Xiaohuo's father was the eldest son of the family, a very good and tall and handsome man, who once held the Wind Slashing Greatsword. However, during an assassination attempt from the enemy's family, Xiaohuo's father was unfortunately seriously injured. He eventually died. After the death of Xiaohuo's father, the Wind Slashing Giant Sword became the target of Xiaohuo's good uncles, and the originally united family was also facing a huge crisis of collapse. In this case, the elders of the clan will make a decision, and the children of each family will compete to determine the ownership of the Wind Slashing Greatsword and determine the successor patriarch.
Since it is such an important competition. Naturally, the siblings of Xiaohuo's four uncles will participate, and these children are told that they will definitely do it! Even if they don't kill themselves, the other children will definitely do it! However, Xiaohuo's mother is a very kind person, and she has never told Xiaohuo about these dark human nature. Moreover, Xiaohuo, who is honest and straightforward by nature, will not kill his brothers and sisters at all. At that time, Xiaohuo, who was only seven years old, had far surpassed many adults in strength, and he had won the competition without any suspense and became the patriarch of the family.
But it's because Xiaohuo doesn't have bad intentions. Therefore, the other ten brothers and sisters who participated in the competition were basically the same age, and they actually joined forces and attacked Xiaohuo in a despicable group. However, even if it was a brother and sister besieging him together, Xiaohuo didn't have any complaints and the slightest hatred. She just used her power to the extreme, defeated the siblings with difficulty, and none of them were seriously hurt.
Xiaohuo's actions eventually won the unanimous approval of the insidious relatives, who did not want their children to be harmed, no matter how vicious they were. That's it. Xiaohuo naturally became the owner of the Wind Slashing Greatsword. However, Xiaohuo still did not become the patriarch. The reason is that she is still too young and needs to be an adult before she can take over the family.
Of course, the lively and active Xiaohuo doesn't care about the position of the patriarch of the family, and her mother is even more so. After deliberation, the decision of the family was made by the Council of Elders for the time being. When the guy was eight years old, she and her mother moved to live in country A and city A, and she has been living until now.
I think of my gentle and kind mother. Xiao Huo's heart was sour, and his bright eyes were covered with a layer of mist. The man who was the best in the world for himself had died when he was nine years old. At that time, the mother did not leave in pain, but left alone. Every time I think of this, Xiaohuo's strong heart hurts.
"Alas. What's the matter, and I think of these past events. Xiaohuo sighed, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but speed up a lot under his feet. The ruins that the great ape spoke of are hundreds of kilometers away, and if you continue to travel continuously, you should be able to reach it by noon tomorrow. In order to get rid of the depressed psychology and arrive at the ruins early, the small fire that unfolded the maximum speed and did not count the consumption ran all the way without the slightest stop.
At noon the next day, a small fire that had been running for about a day and night finally reached the entrance to the ruins. Panting Xiao Huo wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked slowly around for more than ten minutes to ease the discomfort of his lower body after strenuous exercise. After a light lunch, Xiaohuo quickly entered the ruins of the grassland.
Blindly entering the unknown is of course a dangerous thing, but Xiaohuo belongs to a very bold girl, and she doesn't have much to fear. After entering the ruins and getting used to the dim light, Xiaohuo began his expedition through the huge ruins.
This relic on the grassland, as the giant ape said, does have many traces of human beings. This can be seen from the rectangular gate and the staircase that extends inward, these are things built by humans. But after some time, Xiaohuo found that the signs of artificiality were slowly decreasing, and were replaced by a very primitive cave shape.
After coming to the junction of the artificial traces and the original cave, Xiaohuo made a new discovery, and the previous artificially created passages were supposed to be made by some tomb robbers, who probably thought that there was some secret in this underground cave, so these people began to dig downwards and eventually reached this place.
But one thing that is not clear is that the traces of artificial construction come to an abrupt end here, and there is a fork in the road further on. What is the reason why the project cannot be carried out? The first thing that comes to Xiaohuo's mind is of course monsters and the like, and it is not impossible for monsters to appear in this deep underground cavern. Thinking of this, Xiaohuo summoned the Wind Slashing Giant Sword and entered the leftmost fork in the road.
The road is relatively smooth, and there are no footprints or traces of movement, which means that there has been no living life here for a long time. There shouldn't be too much danger, at least the humans who excavated here should have triggered a lot of traps. But even so, Xiaohuo still did not let his guard down, and under the illumination of the light, Xiaohuo continued to move slowly towards the deeper part of the deep tunnel. (To be continued......)
