Chapter 14: The Solid Valley
Xu Hao was a little strange, he had never seen soul beasts, brute beasts, and even birds and beasts along the way, although this desert area was mostly tropical plants, and there should also be insects and beasts. Xu Hao didn't want to reveal himself more to his uncle, and he laughed and laughed along the way, and most of what he said was about the inflammatory.
After a few days of traveling, the mighty caravan finally came to an inhabited city, and Xu Hao looked at it, which was very different from the previous buildings that were trapped in Yingmen. Looking at the city gate from afar, there are two strong battlements built on both sides. It seems that two giant axes stand on one left and one right, gradually approaching, Xu Hao can see more clearly, the width between the two doors is twenty or thirty feet, the city wall is stacked very neatly by large stones, Uncle Bao Erman told all the accompanying camels to get off the camel and enter on foot. Walking under the city gate, Xu Hao found that there was no door at this city gate, only the battlements, and the oppression of the two giant axes on his head suffocated. Xu Hao hurriedly walked two steps, the city was very lively, and the people here were dressed very strangely, which was different from the caravans and the trapped gates. If you look closely, although these people have different colors and textures, they have a unified style, which is that the tops are short and close-fitting. The cuffs and legs are tightly tied and look lightweight. In such a comparison, the costume of the sleepy door looks a little bookish. Most of the vendors are thinly dressed, but the pedestrians who come and go are different, like the generals of the ancient war.
Xu Hao wandered through the bustling bazaar and finally found a place that sold copper mirrors. When I walked over and tapped my head, I found that I was still my own appearance, and my heart was full of joy. But my body is really thin and weak when I arrive in this city, and the people in this city, old and young, men and women, are very tall and burly.
Xu Hao walked to a stall selling broth, where the aroma was overflowing, Xu Hao's gluttonous saliva flowed to the ground, and he saw that the clothes on his body were still given by Uncle Bao Erman.
Xu Hao is like a child who has never seen the world, jumping and watching everything new.
Although Uncle Bao Erman is a businessman, he took great care of Xu Hao along the way, and seemed to get along with him unconsciously, Uncle Bao Erman seemed to see Xu Hao's thoughts, walked in front of Xu Hao, took out a virtual moon ring and said to Xu Hao: "Bai Yan, you take this virtual moon ring, there are some soul stones in it, I see that you are a child of the family in trouble, you will return it to me in the future." ”
Xu Hao opened his arms and wanted to hug Uncle Bao Erman with emotion, but the uncle pushed Xu Hao away and said, "You will pay me back in the future." Xu Hao's tears were still rolling in his eyes, and he was choked by this sentence and didn't know what to say.
Uncle Bao Erman laughed: "Just kidding, Bai Yan, you and I are in love, I want to make you a friend." If you want to keep moving forward. We're welcome too, but I'm guessing you won't go with our caravan. So let's leave it at this point in the Solid Valley. ”
Xu Hao did think of leaving Bao Erman's team when he reached the village and town along the way, but when these words came out of Uncle Bao Erman's mouth, Xu Hao was a little caught off guard.
Uncle Bao Erman saw that Xu Hao didn't respond, patted Xu Hao on the shoulder and said, "What? Bai Yan, you are reluctant to be an uncle, and you want to come and be a businessman? But if you really want to, I am very welcome." ”
Xu Hao heard Bao Erman's words change sharply, and hurriedly responded: "No, uncle, I'm just a little reluctant to you, my mission has been delayed for a month longer than expected, and I have to find a response to go back quickly, and my family is still worried about it." Xu Hao lied again, this lie Xu Hao felt very uncomfortable, obviously he no longer had relatives and no reason, but he wanted to make up his family as a cover.
Uncle Bao Erman sorted out the cloth bag on his body, turned his head and left Xu Hao, and the accompanying camel team no longer rested, Xu Hao waved goodbye to the camel team, and walked in the opposite direction.
Xu Hao walked aimlessly, "I really didn't know what this small town was like in the sect before, this time I came back and took a look, and then I had to hurry back to surprise my tutor and classmates, especially Yinling'er, I cried like a tearful person when I died, knowing that I was still alive, haha, I was excited to think about it." ”
Xu Hao walked to a tavern, this tavern is not big, the door is very majestic, three meters high, two meters wide, such a door, only the gate of the palace or a small city can be seen, Xu Hao ghost made the god walk in, as soon as he entered, he regretted it, Uncle Bao Erman just gave a virtual moon ring, just said that there are soul stones in it, and he doesn't know how many there are, so he entered the tavern, and he couldn't settle the account and didn't let people kill him. Looking into the room again, they were all burly and strong, and they were all wearing armor and equipment. Xu Hao was frightened into a cold sweat.
When everyone saw someone enter the door, they whistled and knocked on the cup, Xu Hao felt that this was a way to welcome people. Xu Hao wanted to take two steps back and go out. was stopped by a person next to him: "What a mess of your physique, hahaha" Everyone also laughed.
Xu Hao was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer these reckless people. puffed up his breath and said, "I'm a sorcerer, passing by, passing by here." ”
"Sorcerer?" A figure at the bar suddenly turned to look at Xu Hao, and the crowd who was laughing just now also became serious. The big man with his shoulders hooked on his back also tucked his arms away. Xu Hao only felt that the atmosphere was wrong, but he didn't know what conspiracy they had, so he walked to an empty chair near the bar and sat down. Xu Hao regretted this sitting a little, if these big men had any plans against him, he wouldn't be able to stop them even if he used all his soul power.
The big man closest to Xu Hao was the first to speak: "Dare to ask which sect the soul master is, since he is a soul mage, at least he is also a soul master who awakens the soul, and he must be a master if he can come to my sect's territory." The crowd knocked on the table in agreement.
Xu Hao wondered a little in his heart, then don't you have a sorcerer in your sect anymore? He replied casually: "I'm not a soul mage, I'm a sorcerer." ”
"Warlock Soul Warrior?" The uncle who seemed to be dressed as a bartender at the counter repeated Xu Hao's words, and then said: "How could a Warlock Soul Master come to Jian Valley, the Warlock Soul Warrior should be the lowest-level soul warrior in the xxxxxxx sect." ”
Xu Hao said casually: "I'm here with the caravan." Xu Hao regretted it after speaking, feeling that these people were not the same species as himself at all, even the bartender in the bar was huge, just punched casually with this body, and he was not beaten out of a concussion.
The bartender poured Xu Hao a glass of black liquid that he had never seen before, Xu Hao swallowed his saliva and thought, "It can't be poison." The whole bar was whispering, the atmosphere was very awkward, and a man in golden armor walked towards Xu Hao with a wine glass: "Don't care what they say." They're all rough people who have never seen the world, what is your mission or something to come to the Solid Valley alone?"
Xu Hao saw that the man in the golden armor spoke in a more kind tone, and quickly stood up and respectfully wanted to give up his seat to the man in the golden armor. When he stood up, he found that the man was more than two meters tall, and Xu Hao's height was only as high as the man's navel. The man didn't mean to sit down, he looked at Xu Hao with a cup, everyone stopped talking when they heard the man in golden armor speak, and the whole bar seemed to be waiting for Xu Hao to answer.
Xu Hao swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm really passing by." ”
The golden-armored man glanced at Xu Hao in disappointment: "Since the soul warrior doesn't want to reveal it, then I won't ask again." With a wave of his hand, the golden armor seemed to listen to him, and everyone resumed their drinking noise.
Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man in golden armor turn around and leave: "This city is really weird, all of them are so tough and rude." Let's get out of here. ”
Xu Hao sat back in his seat and said to the bartender, "Uncle, let me inquire about something, where is the nearest teleportation point from here?" Xu Hao didn't know what he said wrong, did these people just have never seen the world?
The bartender looked at the man in golden armor: "Brother Wu, this kid is not small, or you should tell him." "Damn, isn't it just asking for a teleportation point?" Xu Hao suddenly remembered that Uncle Bao Erman said that only the children of the family and the inner disciples of the sect can teleport, and other sects have a management system and cannot approach the teleportation point.
Xu Hao looked at the man in golden armor. And the crowd was talking again. Xu Hao didn't know where he got the courage to say: "What do you always talk about." Haven't you really seen the world?Haven't you seen the Body Soul Warrior, haven't you seen the teleportation point?" The man who stopped Xu Hao with his arm just now spoke directly: "I haven't seen it." Xu Hao looked at the black line and thought: "This big brother can really make trouble, teleportation point, we go to class every day, and when we go shopping, we pass it on casually, okay." You haven't seen it. That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"
The man in golden armor walked over with a smile again: "This soul man, you must be a child of a family, or a master of the hidden world, I don't know if we can see your cultivation with our eyes." ”
"Xiu Wei can also be seen, are you funny with your brain?" Xu Hao was frightened by these rough barbarians, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense, it is estimated that if he eats a steamed bun, these people will also talk and marvel.
Xu Hao never dared to drink this black liquid. The man in golden armor walked in front of him twice, and he didn't give face. I can't say anything about it this time. Xu Hao picked up the cup and said to the man: "Dry." Then he drank it all. When I put down the cup, I realized that I seemed to have done something wrong again, and the whole room was boiling and clapping, cheering, and banging on the table. The man in golden armor also drank half of his cup. Xu Hao stretched out his thumb and praised: "Good amount of wine." ”
As soon as Xu Hao's thumb was stretched, the people in the entire bar immediately fought and took out their weapons, with knives and hammers, this formation was very scary. Xu Hao was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he also felt like he was in a fighting posture. The man in golden armor also gave Xu Hao a thumbs up.
The crowd put away their swords and cheered, and some even stepped on the table. Xu Hao was overwhelmed by this group of aliens. "Since you want to duel, then of course I will accompany you, and the body soul warrior will fight. ”
The crowd cheered, "If there is a battle, there will be a battle!"
Xu Hao said countless dirty words in his heart: "I'm a grass, where did I challenge you, what is the situation, where is this, who am I." I'll go!"
"Then let's go to the martial arts arena."
"Who agreed, did you ask me? Is it me?" Xu Hao was shocked and speechless. I thought to myself.
It is impossible to say that everyone pushed Xu Hao and the man in golden armor out of the bar. Xu Hao hurriedly said: "Big brothers, I didn't want a duel, when did I say that I wanted to duel." ”
"No, your gesture is to take the initiative to provoke, and now you have to retreat. It's a bad seed. ”
Xu Hao thought secretly: "Gestures, thumbs up, Damn, your city is too weird, thumbs up is the meaning of duel, and I am really convinced." Xu Hao was held by two big men with his arms, and his legs couldn't touch the ground at all, so he had no choice but to follow the customs, "Duel is a duel, and I will admit defeat after two strokes." "That's how I always come to the martial arts arena.
The man in golden armor clasped his fists with both hands and said respectfully: "Brother, Brother Xiawu, for the sake of fairness, I only use one-handed weapons, let's point until we get to the point, if I really hurt you, I'll be embarrassed." In the second half of the sentence, it was obvious that the man in golden armor smiled contemptuously.
Xu Hao didn't understand what these people meant, so he hurriedly learned to arch his hand and said, "Under Xu Hao, Sorcerer, if it hurts you, please don't be surprised." As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed. I don't know where to run out of a volunteer judge and said: "Brother Wu vs. Xu Hao, the duel is limited to a quarter of an hour, start now." ”
"A quarter of an hour? "Since Xu Hao returned to the soul realm, he has never practiced the soul method except for releasing the soul method as a bath. Xu Hao secretly converted his soul power in his heart, if he delayed for a few minutes, he might be able to trap him with just a water prison.
The man in golden armor said to Xu Hao: "Aren't you still wearing armor?
"Armor, what kind of armor to wear, you really don't seem to know what a soul mage is. It's like I don't know about Body Soul Warriors. Xu Hao raised his hand to trap Brother Wu directly in a water prison, and everyone was surprised, Brother Wu was more like a demon: "What is this?" and then took out a long sword and attacked Xu Hao.
Xu Hao smiled, slowly took a few steps back, and someone in the crowd shouted: "Brother Wu, why do you run so slowly, show your strength." ”
Xu Hao was a little complacent: "I'm afraid he won't be able to run fast, and when he enters the water prison, his movement speed will be halved, and his sword won't be able to hit me at all." ”
When Brother Wu heard Xu Hao's words, he hurriedly took his sword and slashed over, Xu Hao subconsciously dodged again, Brother Wu's sword fell to the ground and was tied up by the film of the water prison, and sure enough, the sword did not cause any damage to the ground. The crowd exclaimed. "That's amazing, isn't it? "What a trick so powerful. ”
Xu Hao knew that his water prison would not be able to trap Brother Wu for how long, and shouted: "This water prison, if I renew my soul power again, it will be enough to trap you for half an hour." ”
"Half an hour?" At this time, Brother Wu was also stunned, the clothes in his armor were already soaked, and the cold was very uncomfortable.
"Half an hour, it's too powerful, it's really an upper-level soul. "What kind of soul is this, this Venerable can't beat it, right?"
Xu Hao smiled, these people have been tricked, and now they are waiting for Brother Wu to surrender, as expected, Brother Wu knelt directly on one knee: "It's a loss." ”
Xu Hao calculated the time, just right, and said casually: "Scatter!" The barrier of the water prison gradually disappeared into the air.
As soon as everyone saw that Brother Wu had admitted defeat, they hurriedly surrounded some who wanted to team up with Xu Hao, some who wanted to learn this trick from Xu Hao, and some who wanted to invite Xu Hao to dinner. For a while, Xu Hao didn't know who to answer.
