Chapter 14: Ambush and Maiden
When Xu Sheng woke up, it was already dark and starry.
"Ahh
He struggled to his feet, carrying the coffin on his back, leaning on a nearby stone, his limbs weak and sore, and his eyes cloudy. He felt very uncomfortable on his face, and reached out to touch it, a hard piece.
"What?"
He pulled it little by little, until it stabbed suddenly, and then he realized that it was dried blood.
"Ahh
He let out a feeble moan, and tried to move, but he couldn't muster any strength.
The "relics" and "spiritual roots" have fallen silent, and they no longer send him even the slightest bit of energy.
All he can rely on now is himself, only his own willpower!
Very sleepy, the upper and lower eyelids are like two magnets attracting each other, getting closer and closer.
No!
Can't sleep anymore!
Xu Sheng was scared. I'm afraid that once my eyes are closed, I won't be able to open them again. And his heart was beating incessantly, and he had a very ominous premonition.
"Whew! Whew! β
He gasped for breath and trembled as he untied the long rope he had picked up on the road and was tied to the coffin. I only heard a "pop", and the coffin fell to the ground. This move may be disrespectful to the old blind man who has been dead for a long time, but Xu Sheng can't care so much about it. He felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.
"Whew! Whew! β
He continued to gasp for breath, and it took him a long time to get an iron kettle out of his waist.
"Boomβ"
Xu Sheng's hand shook uncontrollably, and there was a sound of water in the iron kettle.
"It's water." Xu Sheng smiled and licked his dry lips. Now he was hungry and thirsty, but hunger was far less than thirst.
"Bang Bangβ"
Xu Sheng gritted his teeth, then opened his mouth, tilted his neck, and poured the water directly.
The need for water has always been greater than food, and it is better to go without food for a day than to go without food for three days.
After drinking water and resting a little, Xu Sheng felt much better, his head was no longer grozy, and his eyes were gradually clear. He couldn't wait to open a leather bag, and when he got closer, it was jerky. The dry piece is not very beautiful, but it has a very attractive fragrance.
"Goo-dong"
Xu Sheng swallowed his saliva, his eyes lit up, there was no thirst, and all that was left was hunger that was stronger than before.
"Squeak"
The upper and lower teeth were intertwined, and the dried meat was cut and torn in the mouth, and Xu Sheng ate with great difficulty, but he was extremely satisfied. In a sense, food is life.
Jerky is really a good thing to satisfy hunger, very firm, full of weight, and a piece of jerky still makes Xu Sheng fifty percent full.
"Ahh
He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and he was really tired. He ate so hard and so hard that for the first time in his life he ate so carried away.
The jerky was quickly converted into nutrients, Xu Sheng felt that his body was slowly warming up, the blood was also flowing faster, the spirit that had been scattered was gradually condensed, the dantian was warmed up, and his left hand regained his strength little by little. The "Relic Seed" and the "Spiritual Root" were active again, and a gentle force roamed around him.
"I see" Xu Sheng clenched his fists, already understanding some mysteries.
"Relic Seeds" and "Spiritual Roots" are divine objects, but they cannot do things against the heavens and take away the merit of creation.
At least, not in his hands now.
The two will indeed give him some assistance, and will defend him against harm when his life is in danger; However, there are "limits", and once the boundary is crossed, even if it is two great treasures, there is nothing that can be done. Just like when he first woke up, the "relics" and "spiritual roots" were dead silent, and they did not function again until drinking water and dried meat restored a certain function to the body.
It's pretty good already, though. If it weren't for these two "treasures", Xu Sheng would have died for a long time.
For anyone, both are "peerless treasures" that can be met but not sought, and it is already good luck to get one, and as for two, it is simply wishful thinking, only in dreams.
Xu Sheng really grasps the two "holy relics" that others dream of, and has two treasures, which can really be described as "deep family background" and full of heritage.
It's a pity that he hasn't found the key to open the treasure yet.
Once he opens the door of the "Treasure Treasury", he will be able to become a great power in an instant, and the Void Saint can be obtained, and the True Saint... You can touch it, too.
You see, how hard it is to be sanctified! Especially in this age of the end of the law. The last sanctified person was the old blind man, who was now lying in a coffin, and the ordeal he had experienced, Xu Sheng had seen with his own eyes, and the efforts and preparations he had put in before becoming holy were even more appalling. Hugh said that the millions of lives alone are earth-shattering.
For others, sanctification means going against the odds! Cultivation, perseverance, resources, and luck are indispensable; But for Xu Sheng, why care? He only needs to internalize, as long as he grasps the two "supreme divine powers" in his body.
Of course, that's not easy. Regardless of the "spiritual root" for the time being, even the "relic" alone has not been able to master the three-percent merit.
Due to various coincidences, Xu Sheng will take a different path from other cultivators.
For now, the future is bright and the future is promising.
"Why is your chest so tight?" Xu Sheng was a little uneasy, sat up straight, and looked around cautiously. He couldn't say why, but he felt a hint of danger.
This place is not to stay for long!
Whatever the reason, there is always nothing wrong with prudence. During the day, Xu Sheng had seen two mysterious and strange black-clothed people, and from what they had heard about the "Liu Family Cultivators", it could be seen that the water here was unusually deep, and it was not a place of peace.
In three or two clicks, Xu Sheng put the coffin on his back, tied the rope, urged the "invisible secret power", and the wind was born under his feet, and he flew towards a place full of strange rocks and rugged terrain.
The "invisible secret power" was awakened by Xu Sheng in the Liu family, and it was also the only power in his body that could be used as he wanted and completely at his disposal.
Xu Sheng didn't know where this power came from, in short, it just appeared out of thin air, and according to his guess, eighty percent of it was inseparable from the "Dark Forest".
The "Invisible Secret Power" is good everywhere, the only drawback is that it is too weak, and it is usually consumed after a few bursts. If you want to recover, it will take as little as three or five days, and as much as seven or eight days, which is really expensive.
Xu Sheng poured all the "invisible secret power" into his legs, his energy was highly concentrated, he urged carefully, and he didn't dare to waste anything.
"Brush! Brush! Brush! β
Several black shadows flashed in the night, and although the speed was not as fast as Xu Sheng, the direction was always consistent with him.
"Whew! Whew! β
Xu Sheng stopped, gasping for breath. There is not much "invisible secret power" left, and his body is extremely tired, but the feeling of danger is approaching little by little!
It's not okay to escape!
There is no escape, and the crisis is always there. In this case, it is better to conserve your strength and face the attack head-on.
Xu Sheng quickly calmed down, pulled the iron kettle from his waist, and drank the remaining water; Then he pulled out another piece of jerky and chewed it heavily.
Make the most of it. He wants to convert these foods into energy as soon as possible to replenish his strength.
The crisis is coming, and there is no need to wait for any more time at this time!
"Squeak"
Xu Sheng bit hard, his eyes were like torches, and he looked around the four fields.
"Whew!"
A little cold light appeared, like a meteor, like a heavenly fire, in the thick of the night, extremely bright.
The light is fast, it's beautiful, it's dangerous.
"Bell!"
The golden light protects the body, the "relics" perform the exercises, and the cold light collides with the Buddha's light, and it falls to the ground in an instant. Xu Sheng looked down and saw that the cold light was a silver-white dart.
"Who's attacking?" Xu Sheng was furious, his eyes were round, his mind was retracted, and his left hand was irrepressibly emitting a little green light.
"Whew!"
What answered him was another dart, Xu Sheng discharged it with one palm, and the "spirit root" collided with the dart, directly shaking it away.
"Brush! Brush! Brush! β
Black shadows flickered back and forth, and gradually stopped. Xu Sheng took a look, at least thirty or so, distributed in a circle, surrounding him.
"Little brother, we met, during the day." A man walked out of the dark shadow, a little tall, and his voice was cold.
"Sure enough, it's you." Xu Sheng licked his lips and swallowed the last piece of jerky, still unsatisfied.
"Little brother don't panic, we have no malicious intent." The tall man smiled in his words, but his tone was cold.
"Isn't there any malice? It's not like that. Xu Sheng was very vigilant and had already put on a posture. He looked around and felt that it was very tricky, and said in a deep voice: "I said that I am not the 'cultivator' of the Liu family, and those bags of dry food are also a punishment for your reckless actions, could it be that you have dispatched such a big battle just to retrieve the dry food?" β
"Hahahaha! The little brother is really good at laughing. Dry food is not worth a few big children, but can you tell me what is the matter with the golden light on your body, the green palms, and the coffin behind you? The tall man approached step by step, and his tone became deeper and deeper.
"No comment."
Xu Sheng shouted angrily, ran wildly in two steps, and then jumped forward, his left hand was full of green light, and he threw a punch.
Fist wind hunting, streamer with fire. This punch is powerful and unstoppable.
When the fist was close to the tall one, he smiled.
"You've been tricked."
The tall lips moved slightly, Xu Sheng's heart was in chaos, and then, a large net fell from the sky.
"Town!"
A loud shout. A burly man who was almost demonic fell straight down.
"Boom!"
Xu Sheng slammed to the ground, he struggled to get up, and with a "bang", a steel knife was right next to his throat.
"Still a fledgling who has never been in the world." The tall man smiled mockingly, and said coldly: "You have the strength to be empty but you are scheming, we have already added condiments to your package, and in a limited time, you can't escape even the ends of the earth." You've been so caught up in me that you've neglected the real ambush and deserve to be captured. I really can't understand, how dare a person like you be so 'swaggering' and dangerously single in Kanto? β
"Ahem" Xu Sheng really fell hard, he was face down just now, and his mouth and nose were full of ash. He coughed hard, looked at the tall man, and whispered, "You're right, but ......"
"But what?"
"You think very highly of yourself, and you look down on people too much." Xu Sheng shouted violently, and the remaining "invisible secret power" gathered in one place, and then exploded.
"Bang!"
The huge impact instantly tore through the net, and Xu Sheng slapped the tall man in the face.
"Rush!"
Xu Sheng shouted, but he didn't move forward, using his hands and feet together, throwing rocks and ashes indiscriminately.
It's messy!
Although it was only for a moment, Xu Sheng reacted quickly, and a gap appeared in the encirclement, he turned his heart sideways, strode like flying, and rushed towards the gap as if he was not dying.
"Run! Run! Run! β
Breaking out of the gap did not mean getting out of danger, he ripped off the rope, threw the package and belt in his hand, and then continued to run.
Xu Sheng's head is unusually clear, he sometimes goes east, sometimes to the west, where it is more difficult to walk, he will go. Gradually, he pulled away and ran for a while, he was so tired that he felt like his chest was going to crack, and the pain was too much.
As a last resort, he could only stop, lean his neck, and let out a big breath.
"Tom!"
The violent impact made Xu Sheng directly stunned. An emaciated figure, falling from a height, kicked in the air.
"Poof!"
Xu Sheng's heart and lungs were broken, his liver and gallbladder shook together, he couldn't bear it, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Who?"
He just wanted to scold his mother, and he climbed down with a roll, and it was easy to stabilize his figure, and when he looked up, he saw a woman.
