Chapter 17: Nine-Star Strength
It's late at night......;
Two large fires were lit around them, and a group of people snuggled up to each other and slowly fell asleep.
Shi Jiyou and Qingyu also sat together, huddled in a group of figures, quietly waiting for the time to come.
After midnight, the moon had sunk in the west, and the two great fires had burned out, leaving only a few red sparks flickering brightly or brightly in them, and from time to time there were a few 'crackling' charcoal popping sounds.
Shi Jiyou slowly opened his eyes, first looked around at the situation of the people around him, and then slowly touched Qingyu on his body with his hand.
After touching Qing Yu's arm, Qing Yu didn't move, and was still half nestled in his arms, as if he was asleep, Shi Jiyou touched Qing Yu again, but there was still no movement.
Shi Ji felt a little surprised, in the past, Qing Yu didn't sleep so deeply, as long as he moved, Qing Yu would definitely wake up immediately, but this time it was .......
Shi Jiyou raised his hand, touched Qing Yu's little hand, and gently touched her palm with his fingers, but when he touched Qing Yu's little hand, he felt a hot breath coming from his fingertips to his hand.
"What's ......?!" Shi Jiyou immediately felt a little uncomfortable, and raised his hand to brush it towards Qing Yu's face, and his brows furrowed suddenly.
Qing Yu was sick at this critical moment, and he had a high fever, and the fever was not light, and the temperature was so hot that his hands were a little hot.
In the past few days, Qingyu has been spending time in tension, after knowing Shi Jiyou's escape plan, her heart has not calmed down, and she has been worried and afraid, although she has not shown it on the outside, but after all, she is only an eleven-year-old girl, how can she bear such a burden in her heart.
Her body was already weak, although she had practiced "Baduan Jin" for several years, her body was still thin and weak, her resistance was poor, and she didn't eat at noon and night, so she had an errand and fell ill at this approaching moment.
"Xiao Yu" Shi Jiyou called softly;
"Hmm" Qingyu answered slowly, but he didn't wake up, and he was still in a semi-coma.
"This ......" Shi Ji didn't know what to do for a while, he frowned tightly, thinking about countermeasures.
After half a ring, all his thoughts were left behind him, because Qingyu's illness prevented him from implementing all his plans, and he resolutely would not let go of Qingyu and go alone, so he .......
The night is about to pass, the sky is about to dawn, the eastern sky, is already a little bright, time can no longer let Shi Ji have to wait, Shi Ji has lightly supported Qing Yu in his arms, and wants to run with Qing Yu, although doing so will throw all the surnames of the two into it, but the opportunity at this moment is unattainable, if you can't grasp it now, then the two will enter the rhinoceros village tomorrow, then he may still have a chance, but Qing Yu's prospect will be like his predecessors, become a slave, and a surname for the orc machine to reproduce。
After looking around, he saw that in three directions, there were three orcs standing guard in the dark night, and not far from him, seven other orcs were lying on the ground, snoring and sleeping.
If you run away at this time, after the three people on alert find out, as soon as they shout, everyone will gather around, and the result of him and Qingyu can be imagined......
When Shi Ji was lightly supporting Qingyu, the dagger hidden in his right leg gently smacked him, making Shi Ji stunned in his heart, but at the same moment, an idea popped up in his heart, a bold idea.
After thinking about it for a while, Shi Ji gritted his teeth and decided to do what he thought, killing all the ten hippopotamus orcs who were guarding them, and letting these more than thirty humans be free.
"Fight ......!" Shi Jiyou's eyes flashed with a cold light, he would not let go of Qingyu, he would never leave in life, he would not give up in death, he would walk together alive, and he would swear to the same cave when he died.
Keep the ruler in your heart, even if it is with your life, you will not regret it.
After Shi Ji made up his mind, he slowly put Qingyu with a high fever on the ground, and after freeing his hand, he pulled out the dagger hidden in his calf.
Slowly cut the rope that tied him to his body, and slowly lay down his body, prostrate on the grass, trying to lay his body in the grass, avoiding the eyes of the three orcs.
It was no longer so dark at this time, and the silhouette of the human body could be seen clearly, but the surrounding trees swayed with the wind, faintly creating a ripple of night on the surrounding grass, just enough to hide the figure of Shiji.
The rabbit fell, the white horse passed through the gap, and in the blink of an eye, the figure of Shiji had disappeared in place, and when it reappeared, it was already standing behind a big tree with three hugs.
Shi Ji had just covered his body, and the orc patrolling to his right turned his head to look at the tree he was standing on.
The man seemed to have heard something, and with a large knife in his hand, he carried it on his shoulder, and walked towards him.
He was not far from Shijiyouben, about twenty paces, and with a puzzled expression, he came towards the big tree where Shijiyou was hiding.
The sound of footsteps stepping heavily on rotten leaves slowly sounded in Shi Jiyou's ears, and the sound became heavier and clearer.
Shi Ji's sweat has already flowed, if he is exposed at this time and is discovered by the other party, then his idea of wanting to save everyone is afraid that he will fail, although he can lift the big bluestone that tests his ability, but now he is facing ten people alone, one of whom still has the power of seven stones;
Shi Jiyou named the power in his body 'qi', which is the ancient Chinese theory of practicing qi, and named it 'Nine Star Jinqi' after the nine stars in "Qimen Dunjia", which was used to distinguish the 'force' practiced by orcs.
He stood at the back of the tree, slowly running the 'Nine Star Strength' at the 'Atrium Acupoint' on his chest, and the Nine Star Strength slowly entered, slowly returning his heart that wanted to jump out of his chest cavity, and almost instantly, his strength was adjusted to the best state, which he did not expect.
After calming down, he began to think about how to deal with the previous situation, although he was now on the verge of collapse, but if it was not until the last moment, he would not give up, this is a kind of understanding of his life in his previous life.
As the footsteps approached, the other party had already walked ten steps away from him, the situation was very dangerous, if he didn't stop it, or take action, then he might be exposed.
Leaning back against the tree, the sweat on his forehead broke out again, but this time he did not panic at all, there was a determined look in his eyes, and there was a sense of determination on his face, he had prepared for the worst.
Nine steps, eight steps, seven steps......
In the blink of an eye, the two were already more than four meters apart, Shi Jiyou slowly clenched his fist, and at the same time held the dagger in his right hand in the palm of his hand, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the other party.
If you can't escape, then fight, then kill, if you can't kill, then die again, anyway, you came from a previous life and have already died once
