Chapter 32: A Short Break
Wang Xu has been standing in front of the door of this golden giant gate called the gate of flowers on the other side by the demons for a long time, and has tried many methods to try to open this huge golden gate, these methods include: using alchemy puppets to push the door, using flying swords to pry the crack of the door, burning it with fire, and so on.
However, in the end, Wang Xu still had no way to open the door of the flower on the other side.
At this moment, the time has already passed the middle of the night, and the sky outside is already full of stars, and the waning moon that exudes a certain energy is like a small boat, rippling in the river of stars.
However, the people here on the platform did not seem to be able to see the time at all, because the light of the river of magma was shining everywhere, and everywhere was bright, but despite this, the hungry and exhausted bodies of the people reminded them that it was now late, and they could no longer go on, and they had to rest.
The knights were already sitting in small groups around the platform.
In these small groups, some people sat on their shields, holding food in one hand and stuffing it into their mouths, and in the other hand they were holding a kettle, swallowing the hot water in the kettle, which had been heated by the surrounding heat to the point of boiling water, some were so tired that they just lay on their shields and fell asleep, and some people were still in good physical strength, chatting with others next to them excitedly......
Sighing softly at the flower gate on the other side in front of him, Wang Xu shook his head helplessly, he knew that he couldn't think of a way to open the door for the time being, so he gave up for the time being, walked into the small group surrounded by Warren, Thornton, Sangu, and Downs, moved out his rosewood Taishi chair, and sat on it.
Wang Xu first glanced at Thornton, a minotaur sitting on the tower shield and grinding the blade of the axe, then at Warren who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his head hanging and had fallen asleep, and then at Warren and Thornton, who were sitting cross-legged and chatting quietly together, and finally, at Livka, who was still fainting on the pine door panel and sleeping very sweetly.
At this time, Wang Xu found that he had nothing to do for the time being, and he seemed to be a little hungry, so he took out a Bigu Dan from his backpack system and stuffed it into his mouth.
"What are you eating?" Sangu, who was sharpening the blade of the axe, suddenly looked up and saw Wang Xu swallowing a Bigu Dan, so he roared curiously, this sentence was too loud, and woke up Warren who was in a fake sleep on the side, and scared him into a thrill.
Thornton and Downs were also frightened, and the two of them, along with Sangu and Warren, looked at Wang Xu, waiting for Wang Xu's answer.
The surrounding knights were not disturbed by Sangu's loud roar, they had long been accustomed to hearing Sangu's loud way of speaking, and they didn't care much about it.
"Grain. Wang Xu raised his eyes and looked at Sangu who asked him and Warren who looked at him, and replied to Sangu lightly.
After speaking, Wang Xu took out a long scroll about runes from his backpack system, unfolded it on his chest, and looked down.
"What? food!" Sangu was not going to give up on this topic, and continued to shout: "Since it is food, then give me one!"
"Well," Wang Xu raised his eyes to look at Sang Gu with a curious face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said in his heart, you ordinary orcs dare to challenge the Bigu Dan, okay, then let you try the strength of the monks' elixir, "Okay, don't choke." ”
After speaking, Wang Xu took out a thumb-sized, black Bigu Dan from his backpack system and threw it to Sangu.
"What!" Sang Gu caught the Bigu Dan thrown by Wang Xu with his left hand, put down the sharp axe on his right hand, pinched the small Bigu Dan in front of him with his right thumb and index finger, looked at it carefully, and then sniffed it with his nose, and couldn't see anything, so he yelled at Wang Xu: "This is your food, can you make me choke on it at such a small age, aren't you crazy?" ”
After speaking, Sangu flicked Bigu Dan into his mouth like eating jelly beans, and chewed it "quack, quack".
Suddenly, Sangu's eyes widened as if he had been frightened by something, and the bull's eyes, which were already bigger than the fists of ordinary humans, were almost as big as Livka's head.
Then, Sangu grew his mouth and gasped violently, even the fangs in his mouth were exposed.
Then Sangu covered his stomach, and saw that his shriveled belly was bulging almost with the snap of his fingers, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
Immediately afterwards, Sangu began to roll on the ground, while rolling, he also pointed to his throat, and looked at Wang Xu pitifully.
Seeing Sangu's painful appearance, Warren and the three were very worried, although they had known Sangu for less than a day, but on this short escape journey, everyone had already established a relationship of sharing hardships and hardships, and even, they had already regarded Sangu as their own.
Worry is worry, but they have nothing to do about it, they can only look at Wang Xu blankly, hoping that Wang Xu can save Sangu.
"Choking," Wang Xu got up, walked to Sangu's side, took out an iron kettle filled with water from his backpack system, squatted down, and poured the water in the pot into Sangu's mouth, "I already told you that I would choke, you don't believe it, you know how powerful it is." ”
snatched the kettle from Wang Xu's hand, and in an instant, Sang Gu poured a few sips, and finally smoothed down the unknown object stuck in his chest, and at this time, he reluctantly stood up from the ground and sat back on the tower shield weakly.
Wang Xu also sat back on his rosewood Taishi chair, looking at the originally strong, but now pitiful Sangu on the other side, Wang Xu smiled slightly, sighed, and whispered to him: "I'm afraid, hide a little when you encounter alchemy in the future, don't eat alchemist's things." ”
"Got it," Sangu was really frightened, and asked in a weak voice, "Then why are you okay, I saw that you also eat." ”
"I'm amazing. Wang Xu pouted and smiled, and answered the question.
"That's right. Sangu was very satisfied with Wang Xu's answer, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then burped: "Hiccup......"
"I'll go!" Wang Xu even rolled and crawled to avoid Sangu's burping attack, he glanced at Sangu with palpitations, and said in his heart, fortunately, buddy, I hid quickly, otherwise, I would have been sprayed to death by the unknown liquid in his mouth.
"I'm sorry. Sangu scratched his head, and then, when he got up, he was about to reach out and pull Wang Xu who was sitting on the ground.
"Don't, don't, I'll get up on my own. Smelling the foul smell emanating from Sangu's burps, Wang Xu decisively refused Sangu's help, stood up by himself, and then, patting the volcanic ash on his body, returned to the rosewood Taishi chair, but did not sit down.
Looking at the rosewood Taishi chair in front of him that was sprayed with Sangu's stomach acid, the corners of Wang Xu's distressed mouth twitched, although he had more than one rosewood Taishi chair, but after all, this was his favorite one, seeing that this rosewood Taishi chair had been corroded by Sangu's stomach acid, Wang Xu could only sigh, shake his head, and throw this scarred Taishi chair into the magma river next to it.
The fire elemental creatures in the magma river were startled by the rosewood Taishi chair that suddenly fell to their side, and when they saw what it was, they all frantically pounced, biting, chewing, and in a few seconds, they wiped out the Taishi chair.
Looking at Wang Xu's distressed appearance, Sanggu, who didn't know the value of rosewood, still sat on the tower shield and comforted Wang Xu loudly: "Isn't it just a wooden stool, I will see it in the future, and I will buy it for you!"
To be honest, at this moment, Wang Xu really wanted to rush up and beat Sang Gu violently, but if he went to beat someone for a stool, what would other people think, would they think of themselves as a psychopath.
Squinting at Sangu, Wang Xu pursed the corner of his mouth viciously, and in the end, he suppressed his anger, waved his hand at Sangu, and said weakly: "It's okay, it's just a stool, I still have this kind of stool." ”
After speaking, Wang Xu took out a new rosewood Taishi chair from his backpack system, this time, he didn't put the Taishi chair opposite Sangu, in case Sangu had another corrosive burp full of stomach acid and stench, he put the Taishi chair opposite Warren, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
After putting the Taishi chair, Wang Xu sat on it, and when he was about to continue reading, Warren on the opposite side opened his eyes, looked at Wang Xu, and asked, "Have you fought before?"
After listening to Warren's question, Wang Xu, who had just sat down, turned his head to look at Warren and replied in a low voice: "I have been beaten, I have been beaten when I was a child, what's wrong, something wrong with you?"
"It's nothing," Warren looked at Wang Xu with a smile and continued, "Just a casual chat, what do you think of the strength of our cavalry?"
Wang Xu, who couldn't guess Warren's intentions, frowned slightly, he really didn't understand what Warren wanted to do, why did Warren ask himself if he had ever fought, and whether he was going to start a new round of recruitment for himself, not quite like it, so what did he want to do, it was really brain-consuming, no wonder the ancients often said: people are old and fine, trees are old and slippery, rats are old, and cats are difficult to take.
"Well," since he couldn't understand Warren's intentions, Wang Xu decided, let's follow his words and test his purpose, "Since I haven't been in contact with your team for long enough, I don't know how strong your team is, but, from what I've observed this day, it seems that your team only has two battle formations, a square formation when attacking and a circular formation when defending, right?"
"Then," Warren nodded appreciatively at Wang Xu, admiring his sharp observation, "What do you think of the power of these two formations?"
"Well," Wang Xu originally wanted to say that these two formations were really inferior to bullshit, but he didn't want to stimulate people too much, and he didn't know what the purpose of asking him these things was, so he could only answer tentatively: "It's not bad, the offense is powerful, the defense is moderate, it's a good formation." ”
"Heh," Warren looked straight at Wang Xu, and he was a little embarrassed, "Do you really think so?"
"Well," Wang Xu understood that it was difficult for him to continue to fool around in front of this old man, so he could only tell him something with connotation, "Of course, these two formations also have weaknesses, the circular defensive formation is not conducive to defending attacks from the ground, nor is it conducive to defending long-range attacks, and the square offensive formation is a bit one-sided, in case the opponent's movement speed is fast, this formation will become an ornament." ”
"You're right," Warren shook his head silently, and continued a little lonely: "Our large group battle formation across the Western Continent Plain, in this Eastern Continent full of dense forests, mountains, hills, valleys, and rivers, is really no longer applicable, then, do you have any way?"
Wang Xu finally understood Warren's purpose, it seems that Warren has seen that with the strength of his team, it may be difficult to get out of the Eastern Continent alive, so he wants to let himself help him improve the combat effectiveness of the team, hoping to bring back a few more people, and the last few people who survive may become the elite warriors of the Griffin Kingdom.
"I personally can't help it," Wang Xu first refused to train the team for Warren, and then, turning on the businessman mode in his own behavior mode, and whispered: "If you are willing to pay, then ......"
