Chapter 8: Counterattack
As the night darkened, Ling Xiao and the honest big man had already run out of the Lingshen Land for more than one hundred and fifty miles, and now it was obviously impossible to rush back.
"Boss, we have to find a place to sleep in the open first, there are many fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, it is best to choose a place on a tall tree. ”
Ling Xiao didn't know anything about these trivial things, he was lucky to encounter a broken temple before, and there would be more opportunities in the future for things like this in the wilderness.
"Boss, I don't know anything, I can only cultivate and refine weapons, you can do it yourself. ”
Ling Xiao held the back of his head with both hands, strode forward, humming a minor tune from time to time, looking frank and free.
"What's your name, stupid big one?"
The honest big man laughed twice, and habitually touched the back of his head.
"My name is Ergou, my nickname is Dog Baby, my father said, the name is cheap, and the little life lives a long time. ”
Ling Xiao laughed hilariously, he didn't expect someone to name his son a dog, didn't he scold his son for being a dog?
"Brother Ergou, my surname is Ling, and my single name is a Xiao character, and you will call me the boss in the future. By the way, what's your last name?"
Hearing this, Ergou's eyes showed a deep look of loss.
"After my father was expelled from the sect, his family name was also deprived of his surname. The elder of the family strictly ordered the father and his descendants not to use the family name again, otherwise they would receive sanctions from the family torture court. So my father has been only using his name and not his surname since then, and he told me on his deathbed that he must cultivate hard in the future, regain the recognition of the family, and recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. ”
Ling Xiao didn't expect that Ergou's experience was worse than his own, and it can be said that the two of them can now be regarded as a pair of difficult brothers.
Eventually, the two of them found a towering giant tree with a diameter of more than three meters near the sparse forest as a place for the two to spend the night.
Take the sky as the quilt and the tree as the bed. Looking up, you can see the stars, and looking down, you can see the shadow of the beast shuttling, but it's a pity that it is two beautiful years.
The pure medicinal power of the Centennial Spirit Ginseng, after a day of exercise, gradually transformed into its own spiritual power in the meridians, and the originally depleted dantian, the spiritual power that slowly gathered increased a lot compared to before.
There is no elixir that has been refined into an elixir, and there are still many impurities mixed in it, and the conversion of spiritual power is twice as slow as the conversion of the medicinal power of the elixir, and the medicinal power is still lost, which is also the reason why many people will cherish the elixir and then use it after refining it into an elixir.
"Ergou, what level of cultivation has your kid reached, and his running is not much better than my family's family heirloom mastery. ”
"Boss, I just cultivated to the ninth level of spirit cultivation a few days ago, and if I want to further cultivate to the spirit sea stage, it will take at least a few months. ”
The words of the honest second dog were so shocked that Ling Xiao almost fell from the tree, who would have thought that the cultivation speed of a country boy was faster than that of a genius child of a big family.
"Ergou, you shouldn't be the reincarnation of some great power, I used to be the seventh young master of the Ling family, and there were a lot of elixir spirit stones, but now I am only at the eighth level of the spirit stage, you tell me, how do you cultivate?"
Ergou habitually touched the back of his head and fell into his own growth memory.
"I grew up in the medicine jar since I was a child, gnawing on spiritual ginseng and all kinds of mountain elixirs every day, eating all kinds of fierce beast flesh and blood, can I not be happy to cultivate? If it weren't for my father's early death, maybe I would have cultivated to the late stage of the Spirit Sea by now. ”
Ling Xiao exclaimed in his heart, it seemed that Ergou's father was not an ordinary cultivator, he could know that his life was short, and he could also plan for his son's future.
Not long after the two of them rested, the sound of hurried beast hooves could be faintly heard in the jungle in the distance.
"Boss, I feel a few murderous auras coming towards us. ”
Ergou suddenly reminded him, and he leaned his head against the trunk of the tree to listen carefully and analyze the situation.
- "There are six people in total, riding six demon beast mounts, boss, who have you offended, so many masters at once to deal with you?"
In Ergou's heart, the people who can have demon beast mounts are generally masters, and Ling Xiao just tugged at the corners of his mouth, pouting playfully, and a black hammer appeared in his hand silently.
"What? Are you scared? It's too late to run for your life. ”
The honest second dog touched his fist and said in a deep voice.
"My father said that you must be fearless and courageous, don't cower in the countryside all your life like him, and if you want to become a strong person, you must not be afraid. ”
Ling Xiao was a little surprised, it seems that everyone has their own stories and experiences, and it is entirely possible that a father who can cultivate such strength as Ergou is a strange person who is frustrated in life.
While the two were talking, on the forest path five hundred meters away, six one-horned ground armored beasts the size of rhinoceros rushed wildly, and one of them sat on their backs.
"Ergou, I'll jump down and smash one person over later, and you can act when you have the opportunity. ”
Ergou nodded, and his right fist hammered two muffled punches in the chest, indicating that there was no problem.
The ground armor beast ran wildly, each one was about ten meters away, and the distance of Li Xu was instantaneous, and the six black-clothed men on it bowed down, without saying a word, and the leather whip kept whipping on the belly of the ground armor beast.
When the four of them ran past the big tree where Ling Xiao and the two lived, Ling Xiao saw the opportunity, and his body was like a weightless fluttering floc being violently blown by the wind, and quickly fell above the fifth giant beast, and the black and gray small hammer smashed down suddenly, but it weirdly did not bring a trace of wind.
Before the man in black could scream, the hammer had already smashed on the top of his head, but he was caught off guard and smashed the man off the back of the beast, instantly cutting off his life.
The last man in black saw that the situation was not good, and was about to give a warning, but he found that a burly figure also jumped down above his head, the figure was barehanded, and his elbow hit the top of his head, and the same result appeared again, two men in black fell to the ground with two bangs, and the two frightened earth armor beasts rushed into the woods next to them in a panic, but unfortunately the four people running in front had already run hundreds of meters away, so they were unaware of what happened to the two companions behind them.
"Boss, how do you know these people are here to deal with you? Do you want to see what they look like, but don't kill the wrong person?"
From the beginning to the end, Ergou never asked Ling Xiao why he was sure that these murderous black-clothed men were coming at him, and it wasn't until the two of them successfully ambushed him that they asked out loud, probably because Ergou's reaction was naturally slow.
"I vaguely feel in my heart that these people are here to deal with me, I'd rather kill the wrong ones than let them go, the first to attack is strong, and then the first to suffer, anyway, the black clothes and masks, with a murderous aura, are not good goods, if it is not the people who come to deal with me, it should be for the people to eliminate harm and benefit the common people. ”
Ergou nodded thoughtfully, tore off the face towels of the two, and raised them in front of Ling Xiao with a big grin.
"These two people are members of the Xu family, and they used to laugh at Young Master Ben, Xu Changfeng's bastard is really unwilling, he didn't succeed once, and he came a second time, and the strength of the manpower sent out was higher and higher every time. This time, even the house slaves of the seventh layer of the spiritual training period were sent two at a time, and I don't know what the strength of the four people in front of me was?"
Ergou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"It's good that you didn't kill the wrong person, my father said, indiscriminately killing innocents is not a gentleman's doing, being a man should have clear grievances, repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with virtue. ”
Ling Xiao sweated profusely, and suddenly felt speechless, Ergou's father is indeed a wonderful person.
"Ergou, what else did your father say? Did you tell you about the you had with those girls in those years?"
Ergou didn't care about Ling Xiao's jokes at all, he was rummaging through the valuable things on the man in black, and he smiled without eyes.
"Hehe, my father said a lot, but it was all about my grandfather's generation, and let me take my grandfather as an example, study hard, make progress every day, and breed more offspring. Boss, we sent it this time, there are a lot of spirit stones! At least we can get a daughter-in-law!"
Ling Xiao was also rummaging for items on a man in black, it seemed that the people of the Great Refining Family were indeed rich, and any thug could find a space storage bag worth thousands of spirit stones on his body.
"It's not bad, Young Master Ben has found more than two thousand spirit stones here, as well as two low-level mortal weapons, both of which are weapons with attack power plus six hundred. Ergou, how is your harvest over there? Hurry up and pack up your things and leave, they will soon find out that something is wrong, let's step back and set up a few traps for them to get in. ”
"Boss, there are more than 5,000 lower-grade spirit stones in this storage bag, six fifth-order to ninth-order mortal-level weapons and a first-order spirit-level magic weapon, wow! Attack power plus 1,200 attack-type magic weapons. ”
Ergou held a lot of loot in his hands, he was in a happy mood, and his eyebrows danced when he spoke.
This time alone, the income was almost enough to buy the small half of the spiritual ginseng in the spiritual ginseng field that his family had handed down. I have to say that killing people and selling goods is really a shortcut to making a fortune.
"Boss, they definitely can't think of us going back to the two sessions, do you want to give the four fools in front of you a wake-up?"
Ling Xiao knocked a chestnut on the top of Ergou's head, and said in a very iron-clad manner.
"You bastard, do you think everyone is as unresponsive as you are! They will find that something is wrong when they run a little way, and if there are two less earth-armored beasts rushing together, the other four earth-armored beasts will run much quieter. ”
The Earth Armor Beast belongs to the category of demon beasts in the beast clan. (The Taiyan Continent has a vast territory and a forest of hundreds of tribes, and there are five major ethnic groups in the beast race, namely:
The first category, the beasts, are ordinary beasts, at the bottom of the food chain, and are treated as food by the major races.
The second category, demon beasts, is mutated from the cultivation of fierce beasts, and their strength is strong, and different types of demon beasts have different special abilities. It is often domesticated by major races and used as transportation items or rides.
The third category, the mysterious beasts, they are the descendants of the desolate beasts and the demon beasts, with a certain amount of wisdom, and the crystal nucleus in the body, which can be used to refine pills, or as the energy core of special magic weapons, and some special parts, can also be used for refining, but most of the mysterious beasts have been trained as tools of war.
The fourth category, the desolate beasts, this kind of race, the bloodline originated from the barbarian period and has survived through eternity, but they are inherently unable to transform into innate Dao bodies and achieve the Great Dao. Each of the desolate beasts has the power to destroy the world, but their descendants, most of the desolate beasts have thin bloodlines and extremely large bodies, and often attack human settlements in search of food. The whole body of the desolate beast is full of treasures, and every part can be used for alchemy or refining, this kind of beast is naturally arrogant, and other races cannot be tamed.
The fifth category, heaven and earth spirit animals, they are quite intelligent, psychic, often born with the spirit plant of heaven and earth, with part of the ability of the spirit plant, they favor the high intelligence race, generally will be when the spirit plant of heaven and earth matures, waiting for the destined person to recognize the master. )
The two of them found the frightened ground armor beast from the woods, each drove one, and ran towards the other fork in the road, and then set up a trap for mixing ropes, rope traps, and large nets on the path ten miles away.
The four people who were running in front of them, after running seven or eight miles where Ling Xiao and the two of them were originally located, only to feel that the momentum of the ground armor beast running was a little wrong, and the man in black at the front, looking back, was shocked to find that the team of six of them was missing two people and two beasts at some point.
"Stop!
"It's not good, the fourth and eighth are gone, something must have happened. ”
One of the men in black exclaimed, even if he didn't say it, the other three found that the current situation was not good.
"Go back and find out the situation, since it was a silent assassination, it means that the number of murderers is very small, and the strength is insufficient, and they dare not deal with us head-on, it must be Ling Xiao's kid. ”
"Big brother, isn't it rumored that the outside world is a waste? This is a well-known knowledge, why do you still have such a stirring up of the people? Will there be other people secretly helping?"
When the black-clothed man at the head heard this, he glanced coldly at the person who spoke, and then became furious.
"Stupid! If it's really a waste, will we lose four masters above the sixth level of the spiritual training period in two days in a row? This is still called Xingshi mobilizing the people, if we are not careful, the four of us will also have to lose it to that kid's hands, don't talk nonsense, hurry back and take a look." ”
Ling Xiao and the others hibernate again, driving the two Earth Armor Beasts away, thus forming the illusion that they had left.
Half an hour later, Ling Xiao and the two of them were lying on a big tree, and from a distance, they saw four earth armor beasts running side by side, and the distance between the four of them was extremely close, obviously to prevent them from being broken one by one.
"Boss, they've learned smart this time, is our trap still useful?"
Ergou said worriedly, not that he was afraid that he would not be able to beat the opponent, but that he was afraid that if he accidentally let the opponent run away one or two, he would lose a lot of income.
Four men in black, two in a row, side by side, two in front and two behind, taking care of each other.
"Big brother, why do I have a bad premonition?"
As he ran, a man in black turned his head to the person next to him and asked suspiciously.
"Stop, old five, go down and check and see what's going on around here?"
Although the man in black at the head didn't feel anything, he was careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Boat, and after thinking about it, he still ordered one of the men in black to go down and check.
The black-clothed man named Lao Wu walked a hundred meters ahead, looked at it casually, and saw that there was nothing wrong, except for the traces of two demon beasts running, there was nothing else.
"Boss, this is the direction in which the murderer fled, and there are all traces left by the kid's mount in front of him, and there is no ambush. ”
The man in black at the head shook his head self-deprecatingly, waved his big hand, and continued to move forward with the other three. I didn't expect that several big men who have been in the rivers and lakes for many years will be turned around by a hairy boy.
The four black-clothed men ran forward for another mile or so, and the two earth-armored beasts running in front suddenly stepped on the lasso during the run, and were instantly suspended in the air by the huge pull, and the two people on the back of the beast were caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground.
The two earth-armored beasts behind them didn't have time to stop running, and continued to rush forward a few meters away, tripped over the triplock, and then fell down with a bang, and the two black-clothed men on the top were also thrown out far away.
Ling Xiao seized the opportunity, and when the two people in front of him fell to the ground, they had already rushed out, and before one of them could react, he was hit in the chest by Ling Xiao's black and gray hammer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his neck was crooked, unconscious.
Ergou also rushed to the place where a black-clothed man fell to the ground, and swung a huge fist to hit him in the face, but after a few punches, the man was out more and less in breath.
The men in black were left with only two people who fell behind, and when they staggered to get up, they found that their team had lost two more people, and they were immediately frightened and ran away.
"Second brother, let's run away, Ling Xiao, this kid is so insidious, the two of us have to escape one anyway and go back to report the news, otherwise we won't even have a chance to take revenge in the future." ”
When Ergou saw the two of them running wildly, he immediately burst out laughing. The two men in black who escaped hadn't run far before they were caught in two large nets falling from the sky in front of them, and the two struggled desperately and scolded, but they couldn't escape the fate of being lived.
"Ling Xiao, you bastard, you despicable villain, let us go quickly, let's hurry up, you provoked you, why do you want to poison a few slaves of our Xu family? Aren't you afraid of our Xu family's revenge?"
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Ergou, tell them to shut up, how long have these two guys not cleaned their intestines? ”
Ergou tore off the masked black scarves of the two of them, picked up two stones on the spot, and forced them into the mouths of the two of them, until the two of them whined and couldn't speak, and then laughed.
"Boss, you're so good, how do you know you're going to escape the two?"
"Nonsense! If Young Master Ben is not powerful, then you will be my boss. ”
Ling Xiao said with a very stinky expression. In fact, he doesn't know how many people will escape, casting a net to catch people is his favorite thing to do since he was a child, I don't know how many ill-intentioned people in black have been caught in this way, and it is natural for him to become accustomed to it. Moreover, in the storage bag of the second dog, there are exactly two first-order spirit weapon net-like magic weapons, with a binding force of more than 1,600, for the sake of insurance, they are all used, but I didn't expect it to have an unexpected effect.
"Boss, do we need to torture you? These two guys must know something. ”
Ling Xiao waved his hand and began to collect the belongings of the two black-clothed men on the ground.
"Ergou, you go and get rid of them, that's just two hard-working minions, what can you know? Even if they don't say it, Young Master Ben knows who his opponents are. ”
Ergou came to the big net that caught the two of them, looked at the two men in black who kept begging for mercy, and grinned a big smile that was not good-looking, but extremely bright.
"Hehe, hey, the two of you go all the way, you always have to pay it back when you come out, good is rewarded for evil, it's not that the time has not yet come. Clearly, your hour has come. By the way, this is what my father told me. ”
After that, Ergou slammed the heads of the two together, and the two of them bled to death.
The two of them were busy for a few hours, and they finally gained a lot, there were more than 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, fourteen mortal treasures, about 600 to 900 attack power and defense value plus CD, a first-order spirit weapon-level defense magic weapon, the defense value was increased by 1,400, and a first-order spirit weapon-level attack magic weapon, and the attack power was increased by 1,200.
This is also the Xu family is a refining clan, and even some family thugs who are not very strong are equipped with spirit-level magic weapons, if they are replaced by other small forces, where can Ling Xiao and the two get two spirit-level magic weapons, anyway, the six black-clothed people still contributed to the next trip of the two.
