Chapter 41: The Periphery
After the Zombie Mammoth fell, the battle was over quickly! Everyone gathered at the entrance of the town once again and counted the number of people, this time with heavy losses and only half of the escort team left!
The barrier is still there, impassable, Wang Qian is poisoning, spitting black blood from time to time! Wang Min sat next to him, his eyes red and swollen from crying, and he often looked at Xiaowu with resentful eyes.
"Glove, I remember that your greatest skill is healing, how can I use you to heal?"
"What is the biggest ability, I don't know, after the intermediate repair, my program tells me that it can indeed help people heal, please stick me on the injured person! The glove began to have a humane voice, appearing in Xiaowu's mind!
Xiaowu followed the glove's instructions, "Injury analysis, lethal toxin enters the body, and 50 points of biological energy are needed to detoxify!--biological energy is not enough, and it cannot be detoxified!"
Last time he made the Seven Tails, Xiaowu had already used all the biological energy, and now he can't help Wang Qian even if he wants to!
Wang Qian's face turned pale, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and fell to the ground, Xiaowu and Wang Min hurriedly helped him.
Looking at Xiaowu and Wang Min, Wang Qian smiled and said with a boo: "My fortune is hanging, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to maintain this period of cultivation in my life, Brother Po, I have never begged anyone else in this life, today I beg you for one thing! I want you to help me take care of the eldest lady and escort it to the imperial capital safely, okay?"
Wang Min spit out his mouth and was unhappy, but he was pressed down by Wang Qian and stopped talking!
"As a mercenary, this mission was originally to protect Miss Wang, and Brother Wang Qian treated me very well, so I won't care about it! ”
Wang Qian is very happy, with the guarantee of Xiaowu, he believes that there is absolutely no problem with security!
After getting the order, the seven tails jumped to the mouth of the enchantment, and the tail tapped the enchantment wall, which seemed so casual, but the effect was that the ground shook and the enchantment spread out like a splash! This time the enchantment was forcibly broken, and several spars that supplied energy to the enchantment could not stand the impact, and they shattered rapidly, and some even exploded from the soil, and several mercenaries fell to the ground on the spot! The mercenaries who were still resting immediately jumped up and were vigilant around, but no one found the seven tails next to the enchantment, and even if they saw it, they didn't believe it did it!
At this time, the seven tails lazily straddled the cat's step, squatting next to Xiaowu and snorting! Wang Qian did not announce the reason, he knew that everyone had a "difficult scripture"!
Wang Qian ordered the troops to assemble and prepare to evacuate the place. The death of so many compatriots in this place has left a deep shadow on everyone's hearts. After getting the news that they could leave, the silent team immediately rejoiced!
Today's town is full of corpses, the wind blows up dust and scraps of meat dancing in the air, the giant of the zombie mammoth is still opening and closing, a humanoid zombie who has lost the lower half of his body accidentally falls into the mouth of the mammoth, and it doesn't take long for the original gray eyeballs of the zombie mammoth to turn crimson!
"Poor compatriot, don't you be reconciled! Now it's going to be a corpse again!" The little turtle followed the group, and it saw all this, looking at the mammoth beast, and couldn't help but shake its head and leave the town!
In a noble villa, three black-clothed people knelt down to worship a stranger man who was elegantly dressed and full of bookishness.
"So you're failing again?" said the strange man.
"The old slave is incompetent, please wait a few more days. A man in black with a bloodshot mouth answered!
The young master didn't speak, quietly, sat on a chair, shook his fan and looked at the three people below!
"Young master, it's not that we're incompetent, I don't know what's going on, there's an extra master by her side, unexpectedly! We need time to complete the task without us knowing!"
The scholar in the chair was indifferent, still shaking the fan, and after a long time, the atmosphere became very depressing.
"Let's go down, one last chance!" the scholar stood up and silently walked out of the room.
The audience was relieved, the scholar walked out for a long time, and the three black-clothed talents began to discuss the plan!
"Brother Po, we'll be at the Divine Hall Academy in half an hour, should we rest there and wait for you?"
Along the way, Xiaowu was inquiring about the Shentang Academy, and although Wang Qian didn't ask, he also knew that Xiaowu must have something urgent to handle there. The Shentang Academy is in the Holy City, and there are city guards in the city, so there will be no large-scale danger, so waiting for the return of enlightenment in the Holy City, Wang Qian can still do it!
"Thank you, Brother Wang, I'll come back as soon as I'm done, you straighten out the team first, I'll set off as soon as I arrive!" Liu Piaopiao is still in danger, he can't see death without help, not to mention that the old man is not dead and in the dark!
Arriving at the Holy City, the team chartered an inn to reorganize a little, and Xiaowu rushed to the periphery of the Shentang Academy!
There is a simple wall on the periphery of the Divine Hall, but there is no barrier, and ordinary people can enter and exit at will. Entering the periphery of the Shentang Academy, there are buildings like modern villas everywhere, and I heard Wang Qian say that the people who can live here are some prominent families.
Xiaowu let Nanao sniff a towel that Liu Piaopiao used to use, but Nanao told Xiaowu that foxes do not have the same sensitive nose as dogs, and can only reach Liu Piaopiao's position within 300 meters at most!
Something is better than nothing, as long as it is helpful to rescue Liu Piaopiao, you have to try!
Walking on the streets outside the Shentang Academy, this place is not as bustling as the center of the Holy City, and silence and depression are the main colors here! Occasionally, a few servant-like men are also rushing by. I heard Wang Qian say that this place is close to the Shentang Academy, and in order not to affect the cultivation, street stalls and the black market are completely banned. In addition, as the interview approached, many people stayed at home to practice and were reluctant to move, and the servants only rushed to walk when shopping.
"Does cultivation have to be such an environment? deliberately avoiding the world, at least you lack the joy of life!" Xiaowu has been in the fire ant nest for a long time, accustomed to the hustle and bustle, and his whole body is very uncomfortable in the face of coldness and depression!
After the intermediate repair of Xiaowu's glove, it has a storage function, and there is an ancient book in it, and it is innate to rely on it to cultivate into a god. Some time ago, after Xiaowu reached the first high level, he was afraid that his foundation would be unstable because he was promoted too quickly, so he didn't advance again during this time. Seeing that the Shentang Academy created this kind of environment in order to allow its disciples to advance, this was obviously in huge contrast with its own promotion method!
If Xiaowu is allowed to learn to sit on a stool, or to stay motionless somewhere, and persist for a long time, this is not to make Xiaowu commit suicide? Just thinking about it, Xiaowu began to shake his head!
On the periphery of the Shentang Academy, Xiaowu wandered aimlessly. Turning an alley, a group of young people gathered at the gate of a gorgeous manor! Some young people were dressed in fancy clothes, some young people were dressed as servants, and some seemed to be disciples of the Shentang Academy.
Curious, Xiaowu walked to the door. When I came to the gate, I was scolded by a young man in a gorgeous costume!
"Where did you come from, you want to follow Long Qingxue like this?"
