Chapter 20: Assassination (5th Watch)
By the time Litian opened his eyes again, it had already begun to be gloomy outside.
"What time is it?"
Looking at Liu Jingqing, who was cultivating beside him, Litian asked in a hoarse voice.
"Yikes! Xiaotian, are you awake? Hearing the voice of Litian, Liu Jingqing hurriedly opened his eyes and asked eagerly, "How is it, do you feel comfortable?" ”
was stunned by Liu Jingqing's inexplicable concern, and touched his nose a little dazedly.
"What's going on?"
"You!" Seeing that Litian seemed to have nothing to do, the stone in Liu Jingqing's heart was also put down, but his tone was still a little disgusted: "Didn't you say that you couldn't mobilize spiritual power in the morning, and then you started to communicate with the little snake in your body, but somehow, it didn't take long for you to faint directly." ”
"This frightened me, and I hurriedly called for your pulse, only to find that there was nothing wrong with your body at all."
"Seeing that you are fine, I dare to put you on the bed and practice by myself, but who knows, you guy will be in a coma for a whole day, no, it is now almost seven o'clock, and you have just woken up."
Li Tian was shocked when he heard this, but he still said with some embarrassment: "I don't know what's going on, after I went in, I didn't find any trace of the golden snake, but I entered a darkness, and after that, I didn't know anything." ”
Litian didn't say anything about Jiuli, of course, it's not that he doesn't believe Liu Jingqing, but because Jiuli's matter is too incredible, even if he says it, Liu Jingqing won't believe it, so it's better to make less trouble and find an excuse to prevaricate in the past.
And Liu Jingqing didn't ask after listening to Litian's explanation, although a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, he still accepted this reply.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingqing hurriedly asked Litian, "How is it?" Can the spiritual power be mobilized now? ”
Litian nodded, and then made up an excuse to explain: "The previous spiritual power should have been swallowed by the little golden snake, I communicated with the little snake, and he returned it to me." ”
To be honest, Litian's ability to make up lies is really a bit weak, Liu Jingqing didn't believe his set of statements at all, but since the other party didn't want to say it, she didn't need to ask, after all, who didn't have a secret.
Nodding, Liu Jingqing changed the topic and said, "You just woke up, take a good rest first, I'll go out to buy something to eat, and we'll leave for Yuzhou City early tomorrow morning." ”
"Good!"
Litian nodded, to be honest, although he woke up, his head still felt a little groggy, thinking about taking advantage of the time when Liu Jingqing went out to buy food, and then take a good rest.
After Liu Jingqing finished speaking, he directly turned around and pushed the door and left.
looked at the back of Liu Jingqing leaving, and slowly closed his eyes.
But this night, Litian didn't sleep comfortably, yes, he dreamed!
In the dream, his ears were full of shouts and shouts, screams of pain and wailing, and even mixed with bursts of beast roars, but no matter how hard he tried to open his eyes and see everything in front of him, he never managed to do it.
I can only let these noisy sounds disturb my mind.
And at this moment, a cold feeling suddenly appeared on his face.
Immediately after that, those noisy sounds disappeared, and the whole world seemed to be pressed the pause button and went silent.
Suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a knife with a flickering cold light was piercing his heart at an extremely fast speed.
"Holy!"
Looking at this sudden knife, Litian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then he didn't think about it, and his right hand clenched his fist and slashed directly at the figure in front of him.
Bang!
There was only a scream, and the man in black flew upside down, hit the wooden table in the room, got up and ran outside.
Obviously, this man in black should have been professionally trained, and after the assassination failed, he retreated directly, without the slightest intention of fighting.
"A professional killer."
Litian got up, looked at the direction the man in black left, and didn't chase it.
God knows if there will be other ambushes outside, and staying in the room now is the safest.
It was indeed dangerous just now, if he hadn't opened his eyes the moment the voice disappeared, I'm afraid it would have been cold by now.
And the man in black obviously didn't expect that he could wake up at that critical moment, and he was directly caught off guard by a punch, so he left in embarrassment.
"Who could it be?"
Looking at the night sky that had completely darkened, Litian looked around the room in some surprise.
"Sister Qinqing has no traces of coming back, is there something wrong?"
After all, this inn has food to offer, even if Liu Jingqing doesn't want to eat what is here, go to other places to buy it, and calculate the time should have come back.
Thinking about it, Litian got up and put on his clothes, pushed the door and went downstairs.
Although it was just night, the entire hall on the first floor was a little quiet and eerie.
You must know that now is the time for dinner, even if there are few people in this deciduous town, there will not be no one in the entire hall.
Thinking of this, Litian planned to take a look on the street, but the wooden door that was originally opened as soon as he pushed it, this time no matter how hard Litian tried, the entire wooden door did not move.
"Jiuli said that the inn was weird, I didn't expect to come so soon!"
A cold light flashed in Litian's eyes, since the innkeeper wanted to keep himself here, then there was no need for him to be so polite.
At this moment, a sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded behind Litian.
Without thinking about it, he quickly somersaulted away from the sky, narrowly avoiding the arrow that suddenly appeared.
At the moment of dodging the arrow, Litian supported the ground with one hand, and the whole person regained his foothold as quickly as possible.
"Who?!" Litian shouted in a low voice.
But what responded to him was not human words, but the sound of breaking the sky three times in a row.
Whoosh!
Feeling the air around him begin to distort, a flash of anger flashed in Litian's eyes.
One after another sneak attacks, the clay figures are a little angry, not to mention such a bloody young man as Litian.
At that time, I couldn't help it, and with a tap of my right foot, the whole person rushed directly in the direction where the arrow came.
However, when Litian arrived, there was no sign of anyone there.
However, judging from the footsteps on the ground, these people should have just left and not gone far.
Thinking of this, Litian got up directly and chased in the direction where the archers disappeared.
He still understands the principle of cutting grass to eradicate the roots, if he lets these archer killers leave, then he will not have a few days to spare in the future.
