Chapter 16: The Pursuers

Chen Xiu then followed Old Man Ge Wen to the basement and saw several spiritual items collected by Old Man Ge Wen, and the spiritual items were not as many as he imagined, in fact, there were only five in total.

In addition to the pocket watch, the black jade plate, and the silver coins he had already seen, the remaining two pieces were an earring made of sapphire, which at first glance gave the impression of a fake, and an antique bronze compass.

Chen Xiu picked up the two spiritual items and looked at them, both of which had experience points in them.

Now he was completely sure that experience was the spirituality in these objects.

"Which of these two spiritual items contains more spirituality?" Chen Xiu couldn't tell the spiritual gap in it, so he asked Old Man Ge Wen directly.

"Actually, both are pretty much the same." Old man Ge Wen thought for a moment and said, "If you have to divide the high and low, then this constellation compass is slightly better. ”

The horoscope compass is a specialized divination tool, and the results obtained with it are much more accurate than tossing a silver coin.

However, the old man didn't know how to divinate horoscopes, so this compass was actually of little use to him, and it was always a decoration in the basement.

"Then this compass."

Chen Xiu picked up the constellation compass with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

If there were enough experience points in this compass, plus the unabsorbed experience in the black jade disk, maybe he could move up to another level in the next few days.

"And when are we leaving?"

Chen Xiu asked.

"You can go now." Old man Gwen said: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, there is a bus bound for Turika at the station, and if you and Pop rush over now, we will wait at the station for a maximum of twenty minutes before the train can depart." ”

"Is it so urgent?" Chen Xiu looked at the time, it was now 1:22 pm.

When he went to the mall to buy clothes, he bought a mobile phone by the way, and the mobile phone plus phone bill cost him more than 400 daolers.

If he hadn't been able to pay in installments, he wouldn't even have the money to take the bus home now.

"The sooner the better."

Gwen shook his head and didn't say much.

Although I have done many divinations, and I know that there will only be some twists and turns, and there is basically no big risk, divination is actually never used as a reference.

Because the actual situation is often ever-changing, any change will actually have a corresponding impact on the final outcome of the event.

So in order not to make any mistakes, you still have to be cautious.

Chen Xiu is now equivalent to taking money to do things, and since he has already received the benefits of others, then he naturally has no opinion.

Apparently Old Man Gwen had told Pope about this before he came here, so when they got back from the basement and Old Man Gwen told Pope to get ready to leave, Pope didn't show any surprise.

Neither of them had anything to pack and take away, and after the old man Gravin pulled Pop aside and briefly explained some things, they began to rush to the station.

It's just that Lisa never appeared, and she didn't come out to say goodbye to Pope when she left, and it seemed that the old man had hidden somewhere else.

……

I don't know if I was worried about the safety of the next trip, or worried about the safety of my daughter Lisa on the other side, since the old man Gwen left, Pope has become like a different person, becoming very reticent, and basically did not speak along the way.

Originally, Chen Xiu also wanted to learn more about the transcendent from Pop's mouth, but every time he provoked a topic, Pop replied with a simple "um" and "oh", looking like he didn't want to talk at all.

After going down like this a few times, Chen Xiu simply gave up the idea of talking to the other party.

Once at the station, the two got on a bus to Turika, which is located more than 200 kilometers south of New Delhi and takes four hours to get there.

Turica was certainly not the end of the two men, and their final destination was the port of Garwick, located in the northernmost part of the Federation.

New Delhi is located in the southwestern region of the federation, and the two of them need to cross most of the federation on this trip.

The fastest way to get there was naturally by plane, but the option of taking a plane was directly crossed out by the old man, and they could only get there by constantly changing various means of transportation along the way.

This trip was a bit far away, but Chen Xiu didn't care too much.

Anyway, the expenses along the way are contracted by his fellow popper, so he treats it as a publicly-funded tour, just by the way to see the scenery of various places.

When they came to Turika, it was almost half past six in the evening, and the two did not continue their journey, but directly found a nearby inn to stay.

When Pope opened the room, he used the fake identity provided by Old Man Gewen to open two rooms, one for each person, and Chen Xiu was even more happy, he wished that he would live alone in one room.

in the room.

Chen Xiumo rubbed the black jade plate in his hand, and after making sure that there was no trace of experience points in it, he put it on the bed beside him.

Although the speed of absorbing the experience points in the black jade plate was very slow, after an afternoon, he still absorbed all the experience points inside.

On the dashboard, his current experience is 183/217, with 46 available experience, one of which is a fixed amount of experience that is naturally acquired.

Coupled with the 13 experience points he had absorbed before, this black jade disk alone provided him with a full 54 experience points.

"34 XP points away from the next level...... I hope that the experience points in this compass are not much worse than those of the black jade disk. ”

Chen Xiu took out the star compass and was full of anticipation.

He played with the compass for a while, then put it back away.

Anyway, with so much experience, you can absorb it at any time on the road or at any other time, so you don't have to rush it at all.

However, in the past two days, because of the hurry, I haven't been able to spare much time to practice boxing, so that the speed of gaining fixed experience has slowed down again.

In the past few days since he came back from the gym, he has automatically gained a total of two points of experience.

This is unacceptable to Chen Xiu.

Boxing can't be left behind, it must be practiced.

"Practice boxing!"

Chen Xiu exhaled and started a small five-shaped fist in the room.

However, after all, the little five-shaped fist was already at the full level, so he didn't practice it again after practicing it four or five times.

The rest of the time is spent doing some simple strength exercises, such as planks, push-ups, crunches, etc., to work the muscles of various parts of the body.

He continued to exercise until more than nine o'clock, until his whole body was soaked with sweat, and then he finished his workout, rinsed off and went to bed.

Nothing happened overnight.

Chen Xiu got up at five o'clock the next morning, practiced boxing for an hour after getting up, and waited until Pope in the next room got up before finishing the practice.

The two had breakfast at the inn and continued on their way.

After a night's rest, Pope doesn't seem to have recovered, and is still as silent as he was yesterday.

Chen Xiu had yesterday's experience, so he didn't feel that he didn't go up to touch the dust, anyway, as long as Pope could pay money along the way, he didn't bother to pay attention to the rest.

On the bus.

Chen Xiu looked at the star compass in his hand, his eyes were full of depression and speechlessness.

The experience points contained in this spiritual item were far lower than he expected, not to mention compared to the black jade plate, not even half of the experience points provided by the black jade plate.

The entire compass provided him with a total of 19 experience points, which he absorbed not long after getting into the car.

The hope of going up to the next level through this compass is shattered.

In the following journey, Chen Xiu would spare a certain amount of time to exercise every day, but the time for exercising was limited after all, so the speed of gaining experience points did not increase much.

Three days passed, and he only gained a little bit of experience points.

During these three days, he and Pope not only took the bus, but also took the train overnight, took the boat for half a day, and changed several different means of transportation along the way.

Sometimes, when they can get to the next city by bus, Pope has to get off the bus, stop the private car on the road, and pay more for the family to take them by another path.

Chen Xiu didn't know if these were the old man's arrangements, and at the same time, he finally understood why the train hadn't arrived at the station that day, but the Pop father and daughter had already gotten off the train first.

This guy is really a little too cautious.

Tossed all the way like this, the port of Garvik, which could be reached in a few days, they only walked less than half of the distance in three days.

Fortunately, the three days were smooth sailing, and there were basically no incidents along the way.

The time quickly came to the fourth day.

Chen Xiu originally thought that this day would be spent as peacefully as a few days ago, after all, it was already night, and he opened a room in a star-rated hotel to prepare for rest.

However, just as he had just finished warming up through boxing and had not officially started exercising, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the room.

"Open the door, we need to go!"

Pop's voice came from outside, and it could be heard from the sound that Pop seemed to be in a very flustered mood right now.

Chen Xiu didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly went over and opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"They're catching up." Pop's tone was short, and his voice trembled a little because of the intense mood swings, "Before they get here, let's get out of here!" ”

The people he was talking about were obviously the same people who were plotting against his daughter Lisa.

"Wait." Chen Xiu frowned, a little strange, "How do you know that they are catching up?" Have you been in contact with Gwen? ”

“…… Uh, yes. Pop's tone was a little lacking.

"Since Ge Wen knows that the other party is chasing after him, then he should also know how many people the other party has, what weapons they carry, and whether there are any transcendents, right?"

Chen Xiu stared carefully into Pope's eyes and asked, "Did he tell you this?" ”

"This ......" Pop's eyes dodged a little, "he didn't tell me about this......"

"Then call him!" Chen Xiu directly interrupted his words and said in a deep voice: "It's better to ask all these questions clearly than the two of us running around like we don't know anything and are blind!" ”

Pop was stunned by his tone, and stood there at a loss for a moment, unable to say anything.

"You come back to me until you figure out these questions."

Chen Xiu said lightly.

With that in his words, he closed the door and shut Pope out.

After closing the door, Chen Xiu's eyes immediately became sharp.

Pop certainly didn't tell him the truth and hid something, but there should be nothing wrong with the fact that the enemy was coming.

Although Chen Xiu has been upgraded several times, his strength has now been improved to a very strong point, and ordinary people don't pay much attention to it.

But after seeing the methods shown by Old Man Gewen that day, he became extremely wary of the group of transcendents.

So he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately began to prepare.

The preparation is actually very simple, the main thing is to put on a bulletproof vest, after all, federal guns are extremely proliferated, and the probability of the other party holding a gun is still very high.

And although Chen Xiu has some confidence in his current strength, his confidence is not enough to think that he can carry the bullet.

With everything ready, he waited in his room for Pope to come over and adjust his condition.

Chen Xiu was naturally very dissatisfied with the fact that Pope was still hiding something from him at this time, and the main reason for his attitude just now was to force Pope to confess some of the things he had concealed.

Chen Xiu didn't want to fall into some dangerous situation because of Pop's concealment.

However, as the minutes ticked by, Pope never knocked on the door again.

Chen Xiu was a little puzzled, looked at his phone, and found that six minutes had passed.

It was a bit surprising that Pop had just panicked to the point that his voice trembled, and he didn't come back for six minutes......

"That's not right!"

Chen Xiu's expression changed immediately, and he suddenly realized the problem.

With Pope's previous performance, how could he not come to him for so long, something must have happened.

Just when Chen Xiu realized that something was wrong and was about to rush out to check the situation, an accident suddenly happened!

Bang bang bang!!

A series of gunshots rang out outside the door, accompanied by sawdust flying everywhere, and bullets pierced the door and fired indiscriminately into all corners of the room!

The sudden change made Chen Xiu hit by a bullet before he could react, and he was knocked to the ground with a muffled snort.

On the hallway outside the room.

Two strong white men in dark suits, each holding a slight charge, shot wildly behind the door through the door.

Not far behind the two of them, a waiter collapsed in a pool of blood, a five-centimeter gap was cut in his throat, and red blood was pouring out of it.

The two of them fired wildly at the door, even though there was no sound in the room, until all the bullets in the magazine stopped.

At the moment when the two had just ceased fire-

Boom!!

The door that had been beaten to a thousand holes was blasted out of a big hole in an instant, and a strong arm blasted out from behind the door, and a punch hit one of them in the chest!
