Chapter Seventy-Three: Thank You for Being Alive (Happy New Year!) )

The thunder slid by, the day seemed to rise, and Ultramarine Town continued to alternate between polar day and polar night, and the whole street seemed to be only a rain curtain and two figures.

Bell Bell ——————

Da Da Da ——————

The clash of gold and iron was drowned out by the sound of rain.

When he looked closely, he saw a man in a cloth holding a long knife, and his footsteps were slight, and he opened all the rattan whips that shrouded him like a swimming snake.

This is also a serious super washing person......

Xu Qiansu closed the oil-paper umbrella again, and immediately stepped forward with a footstep.

In the rain curtain, the cloth did not retreat but advanced, and the sturdy body strode forward, and came to Xu Qiansu in the blink of an eye.

Walking as fast as the wind, the rain is like a needle.

The long knife is like day, stabbing the skin painfully.

Although the long street is spacious, the distance between the two is instantaneous.

Lingyike has practiced martial arts all his life, and because of his talent, he doesn't say that his skills are superb, but after all, the foundation is there, and his hard power is naturally much stronger than Xu Qiansu, a halfway monk.

But there are two points, no matter what, he can't compare to Xu Qiansu.

The long knife turned into a rope in the rain curtain, and countless raindrops turned into tiny droplets of water as soon as they touched.

Poof!

This speed, with Xu Qiansu's current strength, is difficult to keep up.

But he only flipped his wrist slightly, and a mediocre oil-paper umbrella was slightly bundled, but the next moment, the tip of the umbrella pierced the knife-wielding wrist of the clothed guest.

Let others look at it, as if the clothed guest took the initiative to do so...... It has a bit of the charm of a fist.

The power of the waveguide has brought Xu Qiansu extremely nuanced insight.

The reaction was not unpleasant, only to see him forcibly retract the move, jumped up in the air, turned to kick, the boots were like swimming dragons, and smashed into Xu Qiansu's chest, with great strength, only to see that the rain curtain between the boots actually appeared out of thin air A hole appeared, making a 'bang' muffled sound.

Xu Qiansu didn't look at this, only to see a touch of emerald green color reluctantly turned out of Xu Qiansu's clothes, but saw the tail of the rattan snake lit up with emerald mangs, flipped in the air in the rain, and a leaf blade directly slashed at the leg kicked by the clothier.

The blade of the vine snake is impossible to shoehorn with the human body.

But the clothed guest had been prepared for this, but he saw that he directly let go of the long knife, endured the severe pain of the wrist being pierced, and between the blood drops, he directly grabbed the oil-paper umbrella to borrow strength, and his body sank, but he struck an upside-down golden hook and kicked the vine snake from the bottom up.

In the next moment, the rattan snake flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, but it was in time to hook the protrusion of an eaves with a rattan whip and remove its strength.

She used the rattan whip to make a beautiful maneuver in the rain curtain and stood on top of the eaves, and a little stunned appeared in her eyes.

Human kicking skills are naturally nothing to her, and they can only make her hurt a little for a while...... But she has lived for so long, but she has never seen a human who can fight Pokémon back and forth...... Hey? It doesn't seem to be nothing, Xu Qiansu often fights against Chirulian......

This is the 'skill', the human beings of this era, the technology tree has not climbed much, but they can fight with the Pokémon for so many years, in addition to being insidious and cunning, in addition to making good use of tactics, it is natural to have some ability to confront Pokémon head-on.

But at the same time, the moment when the clothed guest jumped up in the air and kicked back the rattan snake, Xu Qiansu took a step forward, and a straight fist was imprinted on the heart of the clothed guest who couldn't avoid it.

Bang!

The cloth behind the guest directly bulged, and then flew out upside down and smashed on a green wall.

"Ahem!" The Clothier couldn't help but cough up all the air in his lungs.

There is no such thing as internal strength in this world, so even if Xu Qiansu's martial arts are not as good as those of Lingyike, this punch is not so pleasant for Lingyike, not to mention that his little green snake was kicked, which made Xu Qiansu angry.

Therefore, he stepped slightly, and spun around and kicked at the long knife that was still in the process of falling after the clothed man let go.

Stop!

The long knife pierced through the rain curtain and shot at the clothier.

Everything happens at the same time, but in the blink of an eye.

But he saw that the clothed man stepped on the ground with his footsteps, his body jumped, and then he stepped slightly, and his body flashed, and the long knife pierced the placket of his waist, but he reached out and leaned back, grabbed the handle of the knife, and rushed towards Xu Qiansu again.

"Hmm!" Zoroa showed his little head from Xu Qiansu's clothes, his eyes were fierce, his mouth opened to show his fangs, and his milk was fierce...... The vine snake was kicked away, but there was still it!

Although Zoroa has grown so big and has basically never won against anyone, at this moment it feels that as long as this human dares to take a few steps forward, it will definitely bite off his neck.

The rainstorm was like a note, Xu Qiansu gasped slightly, staring at the clothed guest who was striding over, but he didn't see any movement.

A moment of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the clothed guest, and the force in his hand was slightly lighter...... After all, his purpose was not to kill Xu Qiansu, but to capture him alive in Zhuqing Village and hand him over to Chiri.

The vine snake stood on the eaves and stretched out its small hand, and the sharp blades began to gather......

Poof!

Suddenly, blood splattered, and in the midst of the torrential rain, a line of blood appeared on the maniker's wrist.

The vine snake was slightly stunned, she hadn't shot out the blade yet......

The hole of the clothed guest shrank, and the sharp pain in his arm had not yet come, and in the next moment, he saw that the rainstorm around him suddenly condensed into dozens of water blades, blocking the top and bottom of the clothed guest, and all of them were blocked, and he was about to be directly stabbed into all parts of the body of the clothed guest, turning him into a bloody hedgehog.

"Gardelia." Xu Qiansu suddenly spoke.

"Hmm-" With a deliberately elongated nasal voice, Gadelia suddenly appeared behind Xu Qiansu like a ghost, as if she was being carried by him, put her little face on his shoulder, blinked, turned her head to look at him, and asked innocently in a soft and lazy voice: "Don't you kill him?" ”

The raindrops passed through her body, and Gardelia's delicate pretty face had an inexplicable beauty in the rainy night, but anyone could see the coldness.

Gadelia is low-key and lazy, always sleeping in her villa, and few people know her except Zhulan...... And Xu Qiansu is counted as one.

She's a killer who doesn't blink...... At the beginning, the director of Haas Cobb's subordinates just thought of revenge against Xu Qiansu in front of Gardelia, and she was casually pinched to death, which can be seen.

Smack————

The right hand of the clothed man with the knife fell weakly above the water.

The rattan snake and rattan whip hooked, sat on Xu Qiansu's shoulder again, and turned his head to look at the clothed guest who was blocked by the water blade and could only stay in place.

Xu Qiansu didn't reply, he took a few steps forward, looked at the clothed guest, and asked in a low voice, "Who sent you?" ”

Xu Qiansu thought about finding his little cub all day long, and he hadn't done anything to show his face in Xicui, how could anyone come to assassinate him?

The sharp pain of the severed hand made the clothed guest gasp for breath, and he was silent for a moment before he chuckled in a low voice, and said, "I took a job in the Galaxy team and captured the traveler who settled in Ultramarine Town within seven days, and the traveler's dress is significantly different from that of the Xicui area...... He doesn't know who you are, so he uses this kind of general statement. ”

Xu Qiansu's eyebrows furrowed, he had no grievances with the Galaxy team, why did he give such an order? Could it be that you are looking for the wrong person?

"Within seven days, only you ...... the eligible people" The clothed guest pursed his lips, forcibly swallowed the blood foam churning in his throat, smiled bitterly, and then said slowly: "I should be just a pretense, he must have sent someone to follow me to find out your information...... Now that the news has been revealed, the next time he will send it, it will not be an ordinary human like me. ”

Gadelia raised her eyebrows slightly, and with a slight pinch, a large-mouthed bat appeared in front of her out of thin air, struggling, and just as she wanted to make a sharp cry, she was knocked out by a few whips from the rattan snake...... However, if the other party's purpose is really Xu Qiansu, then it is obviously impossible to send only one large-mouthed bat......

As the cloth said, the news may have really been spread.

"The physical characteristics of the man?" Xu Qiansu rubbed his eyebrows and continued to ask.

“…… Blue-haired, middle-aged male, every move gives a feeling of extreme calm and reliability. ”

"Red sun......" Xu Qiansu pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, muttering to himself.

As Gadelia said, she came through the back of the world, and the red sun, who was also on the back side of the world, came to Xicui for some reason...... It's barely plausible.

Although Xu Qiansu did not know the purpose of Chiri, he undoubtedly showed hostility...... The two of them will not be able to be good, and they just avenged the past and the present together.

The reason why Xu Qiansu came to Xicui was entirely because the remnants of the Galaxy Team tried in vain to save Chiri from the back of the world, but now Xu Qiansu and Chiri are in Xicui...... It's fateful.

He shook his head slightly, swept away the distracting thoughts in his heart, glanced at the clothed guest, and sorted out the cause and effect.

If it was Xu Qiansu, he would also do anything to make his Pokémon live a few more days......

"Don't you kill him?" Gadelia asked again, and raised her hand slightly, and the large-mouthed bat was thrown somewhere.

"There's no point in killing a pawn that has been exploited." Xu Qiansu shook his head gently, he is not a soft-hearted person, and he has not killed many people, but at this moment, he ...... There was no need to kill him after all.

"This is the fucking rivers and lakes." Xu Qiansu scolded secretly, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiadelia, and suddenly remembered the scene when he and Jiadelia met for the first time.

"The first time we met, what's wrong?" Gadelia tilted her head slightly, her voice clear and clear...... Mind reading again.

"You came by boat at that time, and you had a bit of a river and lake atmosphere."

"Jianghu gas? What do you mean? What are the rivers and lakes? Like a curious baby, Cordelia kept asking questions.

"That's what you meant when you looked good." Xu Qiansu replied casually.

Gadelia squinted at Xu Qiansu and stopped talking.

Xu Qiansu pondered for a moment, thinking about whether to pretend to be arrested by the clothier, and after waiting for Zhuqing Village, he directly broke out and killed Chiri...... But in the end, the idea was dismissed.

With Chiri's ability and heart, the Galaxy Team at this moment, and even Zhuqingcun are probably all under his control, and Gardelia's superpowers have not recovered, and he has only found the vine snake...... The combat power is seriously insufficient, and the risk is too great.

Xu Qiansu raised his hand slightly, signaling that the clothed guest could leave, and he said slowly: "Accompany the hunting phoenix butterfly to the last moment, don't take this kind of work in the future." ”

The clothed guest hesitated for a moment, knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Qiansu, "I owe you a life, and when it leaves, I will repay you for my kindness." ”

Xu Qiansu waved his hand and motioned for the clothier to leave quickly...... His willingness to release people does not mean that Gadelia is willing.

Clutching his severed arm, the clothed man staggered and disappeared into the rainy night.

Jiadelia frowned slightly, raised her hand slightly, and then Xu Qiansu held her wrist, "Let him go." ”

Jiadelia glanced at Xu Qiansu, and then 'snorted', don't look at her little face, "I'm hungry." ”

Xu Qiansu chuckled and held up an oil-paper umbrella with two holes in it for Jiadelia.

Although there was a hole in the umbrella, there was not a single drop of rain through.

Following.

The showers cleared, the sky was blue, and the clouds seemed to be painted with a paintbrush.

Rokuo, who was sheltering from the rain in a tree hollow, came out of it, yawned cutely, and walked slowly across the muddy ground after the rain.

Where are you going? She didn't know either.

Without Xu Qiansu, she only felt that there was no joy or sorrow in this life.

At that time, after the death of the girl, the six tails could at least live for the promise, and act for that promise, across the washing...... And now, the only purpose of her life is to live, to live until 1,000 years later...... Such a fox life goal made her feel a little lost......

How to survive these long 1,000 years...... Find the Fire Stone to evolve?

What about evolution?

Thinking of this, Rokuo felt a great sense of loneliness...... The little saccharoid used to be the only one left in the world, but now the six tails seem to have a little empathy.

"Woo......"

She lowered her little head, and her little paws stepped forward for a moment, and then for a moment.

The most important thing is that if it weren't for her, Xu Qiansu wouldn't have suffered so much......

In fact, the six tails don't even know if Xu Qiansu is still alive...... At that time, the fire was so big that with a human body, it must not have been able to withstand it...... And at that time, I didn't see any nine-tails come out to save Su Su......

I went back 1,000 years again, if he also came to Xicui...... When you see it, will you beat and scold yourself?

It doesn't matter if you beat and scold yourself, as long as he's alive, as long as he won't give up on himself......

Six Tails sniffled, holding back his tears.

I don't know how long she walked, she seemed to come to a cliff, as far as the eye could see, the sky was clear, the sea was blue, and the white petals fluttered in the wind, but the six tails couldn't stand anything.

"Hmm~" The voice of hunting butterflies faintly came from his ears.

The six tails were silent for a while, and then they looked at the sound, but saw a human wearing a robe, who had lost one of his arms, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, and a hunting butterfly was flying around him, looking very happy......

Oh, it's the trainer and his Pokémon......

The six tails retracted their gaze, and this situation made her feel even more sad in her heart.

Hunting the butterfly can also accompany its trainer to watch the sea together, and he may have killed his trainer with his own hands...... Such a contrast made the six tails finally couldn't help but bury their heads and sob.

"Huh?" But I saw that the hunting phoenix butterfly heard the sound, looked over, it waved its gorgeous wings, flew in front of the six tails, and looked at the little fox suspiciously.

It landed next to the six tails, looked at the sobbing six tails, and asked curiously: "I'm dying, I haven't cried, why are you crying?" ”

"I can't find my trainer anymore......"

"Trainer...... What is it? ”

"It's the human next to you."

"Oh...... I don't know why you call him a trainer, but I've always treated him like family. ”

"Me ...... too"

"Your family can't be found...... Where is it gone? Maybe I can help you find it. ”

"1,000 years later."

"Oh, 1,000 years from now...... I heard that you can live for 1,000 years after evolution, so there is still a chance...... But if I can't, I'm going to die. Hunting Phoenix Butterfly smiled, and a little envy appeared in his eyes.

"At least, you're still with him." Liuwei would rather be this hunting phoenix butterfly, even if she is about to die, she also hopes that in the end, Xu Qiansu can be by her side.

"If I were you, it would be fine......" But the hunting butterfly doesn't think so, it would rather be a six-tailed ...... It was silent for a moment and whispered, "If I had such a long life for you, I wouldn't have to worry about him being so miserable." ”

"What do you mean?" Six-Tails looked up at it in confusion.

"I was about to die, but he carried me on his back through the forest, over the stream, over the mountains, and for a thousand miles in search of medicine...... He suffered a lot, and he fought with people, and almost died......" The voice of the hunting butterfly began to choke,

"He's really suffered a lot, and I don't want him to do that...... If I had your long life, he wouldn't have to work so hard...... If only I could live a little longer...... I don't want to die, and I don't want him to be sad......"

Six Tails was silent for a moment, and then she said, "If you can live for a long time, watch him die with your own eyes." ”

"It doesn't matter, it's better than him watching me die slowly, but I'm powerless and full of pain!"

Six-tails looked at the hunting phoenix butterfly, and then suddenly opened his mouth and bit on his front paws, a little blood oozed out, and then a mysterious and mysterious breath appeared at the wound, recovering for her.

This kind of breath, the six tails have sensed many times.

She did her best to control the aura and fled towards her surroundings...... But she couldn't control the power of the Phoenix King.

The six tails were not convinced, so they directly used their supernatural power to condense their own blood and stuffed it into the mouth of the hunting phoenix butterfly.

The residual trace of the phoenix king's power in the blood itself has no effect of prolonging life...... But it can slightly activate the remaining life force in the body of the hunting butterfly, allowing her to live to the limit of the lifespan of this body...... Can you keep hunting butterflies alive for a few more days, or more than ten days?

The six tails are not clear...... But after all, it's useful, right......

"You ......" The man in the robe, missing an arm, walked slowly, and was about to say something, but the tip of his nose moved slightly, slightly stunned, "How can you have the smell of him on your body?" Are you his Pokémon? ”

"Huh?" The six tails were stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the clothed guest.

Hoo————hoo——————

Six Tails doesn't live in the woods, she runs and runs, panting, tired, but excited.

Bang Bang –

She tripped and fell to the ground in such a hurry that she rolled several times.

She got up, unconcerned, and ran and ran, and ran, and at last, when it was dark and night fell, she saw a town surrounded by high walls.

Without hesitation, Rokuo climbed up the high wall, and under the cover of night, he jumped over the wall, jumped up the low eaves, and found a direction, and stood on top of a low bungalow in several places.

Six Tails looked around a few times, recalled the words of the clothed guest, and made sure that he had made a mistake.

Blood was pouring up all over her body, and she only felt her heart pounding, and the only sound left in her ears was her own heartbeat.

Rokuo exhaled deeply, and there were many people on the street, so she landed in the backyard, looked up at the wooden window, and with a slight kick on her hind legs, she jumped on the window edge and looked into the house.

The warm yellow lights swayed slightly with a hint of evening breeze as she jumped.

Behind a blue curtain, there seemed to be some lively sounds, probably eating......

The voices of two Pokémon, one female and one male......

Rokuo leaped into the room through the window, stepped on the bed on the tatami mat, then took another deep breath and took a cautious step, one small step at a time, toward the blue curtain.

Suddenly, the curtain was opened, Xu Qiansu heard the sound, and looked a little wary in his eyes, but he didn't see anything.

He was slightly stunned, lowered his eyes, and then met the six tails who were looking up at him.

"Huh!?" But the six tails don't know why, subconsciously take a step back, is it unbelievable? Or is it guilt?

The Six Tails didn't know either......

“…… Six-tails? Xu Qiansu was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hands, and his voice trembled slightly, "Six-tails, come on......"

"Huh?"

The six tails hadn't reacted yet, but Xu Qiansu had already taken her into his arms in stride, and a thousand words came to his heart, but he pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "...... Hungry or not? ”

The tip of his nose was full of a familiar smell, and when Rokuo heard this, he was silent for a while, and then suddenly began to howl and cry.

It doesn't matter if you blame yourself, don't dare to face Xu Qiansu...... At this moment, the six tails have only one thought in their minds.

It's great that you're alive.

—————— Pokémon Research Notes——————

"Six-tails...... Thank you for being alive. ”

…………………………………………………………………………

The end of 2022, which was full of disasters and difficulties, has finally passed.

There's not much to say.

Like this chapter...... It's great that we're all alive.
