Chapter Twenty-Six: Interception
On the periphery of the 100,000 mountains, in the dense forest, a group of people is walking through.
"It's a really hard place to walk. ”
Wei Ziqi casually pushed aside the rattan in front of him and complained.
It was already the second day after the auction. The group of seven of them left Youfeng Town early in the morning, and it was now close to noon.
A scorching sun hung high in the sky, and although it was covered by a dense forest, it was still extremely hot.
Among the group, Zhao Qingming was born in a big family, so he naturally had a way to avoid the heat. The Khrul brothers were from a family of Assassins, and had special techniques to keep their physiology at their best at all times, and they were not afraid of the heat.
The strength of Anshiwu has reached an extraordinary realm, and it has long been inviolable from cold and heat. And Estes, not to mention, is the Queen of Ice herself, and her strength is superb.
Wei Ziqi, who has the worst strength, has a dean's uniform produced by the system, which automatically adjusts the temperature.
Only Xiao Ru'an, who was born as an orphan, had nothing, so he could only hurry under the scorching sun, and his body was already wet with sweat at this time.
Hearing Wei Ziqi's complaint, Estes, who was walking next to him, glanced at him: "Didn't you choose this path?"
Wei Ziqi was stunned for a moment.
When Wei Ziqi obtained this territory, the system automatically selected the most suitable place to build the academy.
Their destination, that's there.
After Wei Ziqi asked Chu Xiong for a map near the 100,000 Great Mountain, he found that the place chosen by the system was a high mountain at the junction of the outer periphery of the 100,000 Great Mountain and the central belt.
So after some research, Wei Ziqi chose a path that looked closest on the map and, according to Chu Xiong, was relatively safe.
However, because the road is full of mountains and dense forests, it is impossible to ride a horse, so you can only rely on foot.
At this time, Heruk, who had gone to explore the way, returned.
"The hosts. ”
Dressed in the Assassin equipment that Wei Ziqi had purchased for him in the System Mall, Hruk fell to his knees on one knee in front of Wei Ziqi.
"No need to be polite. Wei Ziqi asked him to get up, and then asked, "How is the front, is there a suitable place for us to trim?"
Hruk replied: "A mountain stream was found ahead, and there was a small culvert near it, which could be trimmed. ”
"Good!"
Wei Ziqi's face showed joy, turned around and said loudly: "Let's walk a little longer, and rest when we reach the mountain stream." ”
After speaking, he took the lead in speeding up his pace and walked forward.
They hadn't gone far before they saw the mountain stream that Khruk had spoken of.
Led by Heruk, the crowd came to the culvert.
As soon as he entered the cave, Wei Ziqi immediately felt a burst of coolness.
"We'll take a break here and leave in half an hour. ”
Wei Ziqi announced.
With that, he sat down on the ground.
"I'm exhausted. ”
Wei Ziqi let out a sigh.
Others dispersed.
Zhao Qingming found a corner place to sit down and began to meditate and breathe.
Xiao Ru'an walked outside, he was going to wash his face.
An Shiwu also left the culvert, for a girl who loves to clean, after a morning of travel, her body is dusty, so she naturally has to clean it simply.
Estes sat casually next to Wei Ziqi, leaning lazily against the mountain wall, and crossed Erlang's legs.
Herul silently stood beside Wei Ziqi, while Heruk left the culvert and went outside to be on guard.
Wei Ziqi looked at Herul and asked the doubts in his heart: "Hruer, what's the deal with the curse of your Aksu clan?"
Khrul was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "I don't know either." It's just that according to the elders of the clan, this curse appeared a hundred years ago. Almost all of the clansmen were cursed, and their vitality began to dry up inexplicably. Many of their clansmen suffered a great loss of strength as a result, and even lost their hands during the assassination. So the patriarch had to announce that the Aksu tribe had begun to completely escape from the world. ”
"And then?"
Wei Ziqi asked.
Herul's expression was gloomy: "The patriarch organized many elders in the clan to study countermeasures, and even invited a Holy Emblem Great Wise Man from the Ten Directions Pavilion, but he still couldn't solve this curse. The strong of the clan have fallen one after another, and only the royal family can hold on to the curse for longer. Later, almost only our royal family remained in the entire Aksu tribe. ”
"And how did you get here?"
"When my brother and I were ten years old, the patriarch sent us out of the forbidden land, saying that only in this way could the Aksu have a chance of survival. ”
Speaking of this, his tone became reverent: "Now it seems that the patriarch is talking about you. You are the silver lining of the Aksu people. ”
Hearing this, Wei Ziqi was suddenly stunned.
No wonder the brothers agreed so quickly at that time, it turned out that there was a layer of reasons in it.
After resting for a while, the crowd began to set off again.
"Let's just walk along this mountain stream. ”
Wei Ziqi took out the map and studied it, and made a decision.
The mountain stream basically coincided with the path they were taking, and although it was slightly offset, it was harmless.
Wei Ziqi would rather walk a little longer than trek through the jungle again.
The water in the mountain stream is not deep, and in most places the water level only submerges the calves of the people.
He didn't go far along the mountain stream when Wei Ziqi suddenly stopped.
I saw a figure standing quietly in front of them, with its back to them.
"Be careful!"
Estes's face changed slightly, and he took a step forward to block in front of Wei Ziqi.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
A familiar strange laugh rang out, and the figure turned.
Dressed in a black robe with a bronze ghost face. It was the ghost gate who appeared in the auction yesterday!
"It's you!"
Wei Ziqi's face also changed.
He just knew how strong the other party was, and the people who seemed to be ghosts had always acted cruelly. Now that the other party has come to the door, Wei Ziqi doesn't think that he is coming to him to catch up.
"Huh, boy, do you know me?"
The black-robed man snorted.
"I happened to be there at the auction yesterday. Wei Ziqi replied casually, but his mind was running rapidly, thinking about the other party's intentions.
"Yesterday. ”
The black-robed man repeated, as if remembering something.
After a while, he laughed strangely: "Yesterday, I had an urgent matter in this seat, and I didn't have a good time." Today is the right time to make up for the regrets. Boom. Rest assured, this seat will slowly torture you later, and it will definitely not let you die all at once. ”
"You're a dead pervert!"
Wei Ziqi scolded secretly.
His face was solemn, and he looked at the black-robed man: "You want to kill me?"
The black-robed man smiled and said, "This seat is going to kill all of you!"
"Oh?" Wei Ziqi's eyes froze, "You are so confident that you can do it, but we also have a Ground Rank King here." Although you killed a ground rank yesterday, Estes is not that kind of garbage. ”
As he spoke, Wei Ziqi kept silently reciting in his heart: "Senior, I really didn't mean to offend. In a hurry, please bear with me. ”
"Of course I know. The black-robed man had a tone in which everything was under control, "Estes, whose ability is ice, once killed Liu Dingfang, the king of Xuanyin, in Qingyan City with one blow. There's a martial art that freezes everything. ”
Wei Ziqi was taken aback.
This guy has investigated so clearly?
"Alright, that's the end of the nonsense, it's time to send you to death!"
At this time, the black-robed man on the opposite side seemed to be impatient, and the yuan power on his body surged, and his body rushed over at once.
"Wait, I have another question. Wei Ziqi said loudly, "Why did you come to kill us?"
"Die with your questions!"
The black-robed man said in a cruel voice.
Damn, you don't play cards according to common sense!
Estes said with a solemn face: "Your Excellency, Dean, I will hold him back, you leave here immediately!"
After speaking, he drew the long sword on his waist, and the frost power on his body surged out and greeted him.
The long ice-blue hair fluttered in the wind, like a blue cloak draped behind him.
Wei Ziqi's face was anxious.
He knew that Estes was no match for the other party. In other words, she clearly planned to drag the other party to death and let herself escape.
Although he was moved by the behavior of this tsundere queen, Wei Ziqi couldn't leave everyone and run away alone.
Not to mention that An Shiwu and the others have become their own students, and as the head of the academy, they have the responsibility to be responsible for them. Estes alone is something that Wei Ziqi can't give up.
This is not only because Estes is currently the most powerful existence under his command, but also because of the deep love for this Super S queen when he was on Earth.
Although Her Majesty's personality is a little worse, her charm has already conquered Wei Ziqi. Especially when Wei Ziqi summoned the other party, this liking was even more sublimated.
Therefore, let Wei Ziqi leave Estes and escape, he couldn't do it at all.
"Damn!"
Wei Ziqi gritted his teeth, the hatred for the black-robed man in his heart had reached the extreme, and even the hatred for the organization called the Ghost Gate was extremely painful.
At this time, An Shiwu pulled out the long knife at her waist and said to Wei Ziqi with a calm face: "Please leave here." ”
"Poetry and Dance, You ......"
Wei Ziqi looked at the girl in front of him who was staring at him expressionlessly, with a shocked face.
"You're not going to help anything if you stay here, are you?"
The girl's tone was calm.
Wei Ziqi suddenly said excitedly: "What about you, can you help by staying?"
The girl fell silent.
After a moment, she slowly turned around and said in a flat but resolute tone, "At least, I can let him make one more shot." ”
Gain time for the black-robed man to make a move for you to escape. That's what I can do for you.
Wei Ziqi understood what the girl meant, and his heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable feeling.
Boom!
Just as he was about to say something, there was a muffled sound in the air, and then Estes snorted, and his body fell backwards, falling to the ground in one fell swoop.
"Estes!"
Wei Ziqi shouted.
Estes got up from the ground, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"Wei Ziqi, hurry up and get out of this king! Get out of here as far as possible!"
She coldly dropped this sentence, condensed into an ice sword in her hand, and rushed towards the black-robed man in the air.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Wei Ziqi gritted his teeth, his heart was full of unwillingness.
"Master, please leave!"
The two Khrul brothers knelt on one knee and bowed their heads.
"You ......"
Looking at the two brothers, Wei Ziqi didn't know what to say.
"Am I really going to leave them alone and run away?"
His chest heaved and his mind was in disarray.
