Chapter 22 Gliders
Zhou Ziheng said seriously: "I will pass on what I have learned all my life to you." I am responsible for all your living expenses, weapons, armor, medicinal materials, and cultivation resources. ”
This condition is already very generous. But no one will give for nothing, and there must be a reward for paying. The more you give, the more you expect in return.
Wang Xiaotian understood this truth, so he didn't rush to agree, but asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"You just need to practice diligently and reach the top of the martial arts as soon as possible. ”
Wang Xiaotian believes that the conditions will definitely not be so simple, "What else?"
"Protect mercy until she is married. ”
"If she doesn't marry for the rest of her life?"
"Then protect her for the rest of your life. ”
"What if she dies?"
Zhou Ziheng glanced at him, "...... You know what to do. ”
Wang Xiaotian: "............"
Wang Xiaotian fell into deep thought. Other dangers aside, the lurkers represented by William alone are not something he can deal with.
The four lurkers who appeared this time were all sixth-level marquis or above, and that William should be a seventh-level duke. He, a little miscellaneous fish who had just been promoted to the fifth level, was not enough to see at all.
However, looking at Zhou Ziheng's posture, he didn't expect Wang Xiaotian to be able to bear this burden alone. At most, use him as Cao Lianyou's personal bodyguard.
Moreover, taking a step back, if something happens to Cao Lianyou, how can he, Wang Xiaotian, know what to do?
Please, if the two of them are in danger together, others will be merciful and let him go?
If he wasn't around, what happened to Cao Lian would have something to do with him? It's a big deal to avenge her, and then leave incognito.
After making up his mind, Wang Xiaotian said happily: "Okay." I promise you. However, I also have two conditions. ”
Zhou Ziheng "............ Say. ”
"First, don't investigate my background. "Wang Xiaotian has too many secrets. Although Wang Xiaotian doesn't know what Zhou Ziheng's origin is, he can be an opponent with the lurkers, and his intelligence ability must not be bad.
If Zhou Ziheng has the heart to investigate, it will definitely not take much effort to investigate Wang Xiaotian's old background clearly and thoroughly.
Moreover, Wang Xiaotian believes that Zhou Ziheng has actually begun to investigate him. Because, the young man is gone.
He still makes this request, the purpose is to hope that Zhou Ziheng will not continue to investigate until Ye Annie finds out, because the deeper secrets only exist in Wang Xiaotian's mind, and there are a few people such as Ye Zhanjian. If Zhou Ziheng continues to investigate, it will make Wang Xiaotian very uneasy. Wang Xiaotian doesn't want to be used as a research object.
"Yes. Zhou Ziheng agreed very readily. Anyway, he had already sent Yu Wanlai to check Wang Xiaotian's bottom. Now that I have agreed, from now on, if I don't continue to investigate, it will not be considered a breach of contract.
"Second, I'm going to school at Hibiscus Academy. During school, I couldn't be by her side all day to protect her. ”
"That's fine. With your current strength, you can't protect Mercy. When I need your protection, I will tell you. As for Hibiscus Academy, I'll coordinate. ”
Wang Xiaotian was in a good mood, "What do I need to do now?"
Zhou Ziheng glanced at it, and saw the unconcealable joy on Wang Xiaotian's face, and suddenly he was in a bad mood, "Your arm has not recovered yet, so you are not in a hurry to practice swords for the time being." Are your legs okay?"
"It's fine. ”
"That's good. You just have to keep up with us. ”
"Wait, wait. You can fly, how can I catch up?"
"It's okay, we can slow down and wait for you. ”
"What about the black dog and the little monkey?"
"Shen Shuming will help you bring them. ”
"Where are we going?"
Zhou Ziheng looked south-east, raised his hand and pointed, "Five hundred miles south-east, there is a small village, let's stay there tonight." ”
Wang Xiaotian muttered in his heart, five hundred miles, at his own speed, he couldn't reach it in a day. Did he play with me on purpose?
Zhou Ziheng smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you have a day and a night to rush, and you will definitely be able to arrive." ”
With that, he rose into the air, passed through the gap in the canopy, stretched out his foot on a branch, and flew south with his strength.
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly shouted, "Wait, I can't run that far." ”
Zhou Ziheng's voice came from afar, "How can you know if you don't try." ”
Wang Xiaotian was speechless. That's right, Zhou Ziheng is fixing him.
Shen Shuming walked over and patted Wang Xiaotian on the shoulder, "He's such a person." It's good that you get used to it. ”
Wang Xiaotian pursed his lips, looked at the direction where Zhou Ziheng was going, and said, "Small belly chicken intestines." ”
"Hey, hey. It's good to talk about it behind your back, but don't let him hear it, otherwise you will look good. If you grind harder, you really won't be able to catch up. ”
Shen Shuming said, stretched out his hand to pick up the black dog and the little monkey on its back, and hugged it horizontally to his chest, "I'm leaving." ”
"Hey......" Wang Xiaotian hurriedly grabbed Shen Shuming, "Is that place good to find?"
"Easy to find. The village was in a valley, surrounded by a large open flat area, with some crops and not many trees, and you would be able to find it if it wasn't too far off. ”
"There are trees all around, and I can't guarantee that the direction will be right. ”
"It's okay, just run a little more. Shen Shuming grinned, "Hehe, just kidding." As the saying goes, 'the authorities are confused', and only by jumping out of the game can we see the overall situation clearly. ”
"You look down, of course you don't know the way. You have to go up to it first, make a rough note of the terrain, and then go up again at intervals, so that you can't deviate from the direction. ”
After Shen Shuming finished speaking, he twisted his waist and flew up, and when he was in mid-air, his foot kicked violently on the branch, and the figure had been shot away.
Wang Xiaotian looked at Shen Shuming's figure and whispered to himself, "It's hairy, I won't even give a map." ”
Wu Ling'er suddenly came to him quietly and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”
Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then came to her senses, she was thanking Cao Lianyou for saving Cao Lianyou yesterday.
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No thanks." That's as it should be. Since I have said yes, I have to keep my word. ”
Wu Ling'er nodded slightly, "Follow me." As he spoke, the willow waist swung, and his body was like green smoke, swaying upward, slender and light, like a light swallow passing through the gap in the canopy, and his posture was so beautiful that it was like a goddess flying into the sky.
Wang Xiaotian was stunned.
Wu Ling'er looked back and saw that he hadn't followed, so he hurriedly said, "Hurry up." ”
Wang Xiaotian reacted, hurriedly twisted his waist, his body was three feet taller, stretched out his feet and kicked sharply on a branch, adjusted his direction in mid-air with his strength, and chased after Wu Ling'er.
Wang Xiaotian's Force level is not as good as Wu Ling'er. Wu Ling'er only borrowed his strength and adjusted his direction twice, and he had already crossed the canopy of the tree and swept over the forest like a bird.
And Wang Xiaotian borrowed four times before he crossed the canopy. Now he not only saw Wu Ling'er's whereabouts, but also saw Wu Ling'er's way forward.
Wu Ling'er They didn't fly in the way Wang Xiaotian imagined. They're actually taking advantage of their ability to float in the air.
With one reference to the canopy, they can glide as far as three to five kilometers, which is much farther than Wang Xiaotian imagined.
At that time, Wang Xiaotian happened to be standing in the middle of this distance, and if he saw them gliding through the air, he would think that they were flying.
So that's it!
Wang Xiaotian saw that Wu Ling'er and the others were gliding forward, and they were immediately enlightened.
In the past, Wang Xiaotian thought that only level 6 and above could float in the air, and level 7 and above could fly. But seeing Wu Ling'er's way of traveling, he suddenly realized that he was too dogmatic.
A sixth-level Force cultivator already has the ability to levitate. On top of that, by kicking the branches, you can glide, and although it is not really flying, the speed is much faster than jumping in the forest.
Because jumping forward in the forest, you need to avoid the trees in front of you from time to time, take many detours, and it is easy to get the wrong direction.
If you glide over the canopy, you can walk in a straight line without avoiding it, and you can observe the terrain around you at all times without going in the wrong direction.
Wang Xiaotian secretly pondered, now that he has been promoted to the fifth level, the force that his body can hold is dozens of times that of ordinary people, and his staying power is far beyond that of ordinary people, can he use Wu Ling'er to travel in this way?
Just do it. He used the Force, kicked his legs hard, jumped to his feet, and threw himself forward with his arms outstretched, carefully controlling his balance.
Gliding is not the same as jumping. When jumping, the body goes straight up and down, and as with daily walking, there is hardly any unaccustomedness.
But when gliding, try to flatten your body to make the most of the lift of the air, and use your arms to control the direction of travel. Just flattening your body can feel awkward. Moreover, he does not have the power to float in the air now, and when he glides, his body will inevitably fall, which makes people feel frightened.
Once you are afraid of being in a hurry, you will fall down with a "chirp".
Wang Xiaotian fell the first three times, but fortunately, his physical strength has far surpassed that of wood and stone, ordinary metal weapons, and even his skin can't be cut.
It wasn't until the fourth time that Wang Xiaotian overcame his unaccustomed habits, worked hard to level his body, and glided smoothly for more than 500 meters. Then, Wang Xiaotian found a place to settle down and stopped to think.
Since Wang Xiaotian has not yet been promoted to level 6, he cannot float in the air, and can only glide down from a high point, so the gliding distance is limited, and he cannot reach Wu Ling'er, who can glide three or five kilometers at a time.
He pondered for a moment, then jumped down from the tree, found an old vine that was light, tough, and hard, and drew his sword and slashed it in three. Although his two forearms were injured and had not healed, the bayonet itself was a sixth-level Force weapon, and it was not a problem to cut off the old vines.
Wang Xiaotian tied the old vine into a big tripod shelf, and then took out a piece of animal skin that was spread on the ground when he was sleeping and used as a blanket, and slashed off the hair with a few strokes of the thorn sword, leaving only the bare plate skin, spread it on the tripod, and pierced the eye in the appropriate position with the stabbing sword, and then used the animal tendon to tie the animal skin tightly to the tripod.
After some tossing, Wang Xiaotian made a big kite (glider). He jumped up to the canopy again with the big kite on his back, discerned the direction, put the big kite on his chest, and kicked hard. The big kite took him and rushed forward quickly.
Listening to the whirring wind in his ears, Wang Xiaotian couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and shouted.
This is the power of science and technology! This is the power of knowledge!
Five kilometers!
Three minutes later, Wang Xiaotian stopped and carefully estimated the distance he glided. In this case, the journey of 500 miles will only take half a day.
Wang Xiaotian was very excited and jumped even harder...... Glide...... Leap again...... Glide again.
About an hour later, Wang Xiaotian saw that Zhou Ziheng and the three of them were suspended in front of him not far away.
Zhou Ziheng was somewhat surprised when he saw Wang Xiaotian, lying on a big triangular kite, and quickly slid towards his side. However, he didn't take it seriously, turned around and continued on his way.
Wang Xiaotian's heart was suddenly angry. I finally caught up, but they ran away again, can't I let myself catch my breath and rest first?
However, there is no resentment. The road still has to be rushed. At this time, he suddenly remembered what Shen Shuming said, and turned his head to observe the surrounding terrain.
The southeast is full of peaks and mountains, like a big dragon, looming in the clouds and mist, and you can't see the end, while the east and west are relatively flat jungles, and there is also a huge mountain range in the north.
He was in a plain valley between two mountain ranges. Wang Xiaotian recalled it, and the direction Zhou Ziheng pointed to suddenly realized.
No wonder Shen Shuming said, that small village is easy to find, it turns out that the direction that Zhou Ziheng pointed to is the direction of the mountain range, as long as you follow the mountain range, you can find a place.
Seeing the terrain clearly, Wang Xiaotian immediately jumped to a high canopy, put the big kite under him, and kicked suddenly, like a big bird, and flew towards the place where the three figures disappeared.
