018 The Ugly Duckling (thanks to the lazy Shenxiu for the big reward)
Early the next morning, Zhuang Hong found a path with carriage prints, so he followed the path, intending to find the city inhabited by humans first.
Not long after walking, an ox cart full of hay drove behind him.
An old man with short hair sat on the cross frame of the oxcart and drove, whapping his ass from time to time, and a little boy about ten years old sat on the hay, staring at Zhuang Hong curiously with big black eyes.
When the old man saw Zhuang Hong, he immediately cracked his toothless mouth and laughed.
The ox cart stopped beside Zhuang Hong.
"Young man, this is going to Xitang Town, but there is a long distance, do you want to give you a ride?"
Zhuang Hong is very polite when traveling in another world, and he must not embarrass the earthlings. So he smiled and nodded: "Thank you, uncle, if it's convenient, it's great." ”
The old man crossed his fingers: "Ten cents." ”
Zhuang Hong's face stiffened for a moment, he thought that the old man was kind enough to take him for free, but he didn't expect to have to pay for the fare, the key is that he didn't have ten pennies.
Seeing Zhuang Hong's complexion, the old man was surprised: "Young man, you are out of the house, and you don't even have ten cents?" ”
Zhuang Hong said: "There are no copper coins, but there are some golden sands, is it good to replace them with golden sand?" ”
The old man was startled, and immediately shook his head and said, "Gold? That's too expensive to collect, forget it, you can come up directly. ”
Zhuang Hong sat down on the hay and stared at the child.
The old man drove off again, and Zhuang Hong took the opportunity to ask the old man about the basic situation of this world.
Soon through the mouth of the old man, he learned that this is a world of warriors with an ancient background, and the warriors have mastered a technique to activate the potential of the body, and can obtain extremely powerful power, and it is precisely because of the existence of warriors that humans have the power to fight against trolls and achieve the ultimate victory.
After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Young man, I see that you are carrying a sword behind your back, and you are also a martial artist, right?" ”
"Warrior? It doesn't seem like it, but it's kind of ......."
The old man smiled: "My kid Erniu likes to listen to the stories of martial artists the most, and he is bored all the way, how about you tell the stories of martial artists?" ”
Zhuang Hong looked embarrassed, he used to listen to other people's stories, where did he tell stories to others?
But seeing the child Erniu looking at him expectantly, it was not good to spoil the fun, thought about it, and asked uncertainly: "How about telling you a story about the 'ugly duckling'?" ”
Erniu: "Is the ugly duckling a powerful warrior?" ”
Zhuang Hong: "...... Right. ”
groggily finished talking about the ugly duckling.
The air fell into an eerie silence, save for the sound of the wheels of the car.
Zhuang Hong was slightly embarrassed, thought about it, and had a new idea: "Otherwise, I'll tell you another story!" ”
The child blinked: "What story?" ”
Zhuang Hong: "Little Red Riding Hood." ”
Erniu: "Is Little Red Riding Hood a powerful warrior?" ”
Zhuang Hong waved his hand: "This ...... Forget it, don't tell it, I'm not very good at telling stories. ”
Just when the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, the old man suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped the ox cart, Zhuang Hong looked forward, only to find that there were two logs blocking the road not far away.
The old man's face became ugly: "It's bandits who have robbed the road, but how can there be bandits on this road......"
As soon as the words fell, two ragged men with knives jumped out from the side of the road, staring only at Zhuang Hong, who was neatly dressed.
One of the bandits pulled out a gong from behind and struck it.
"Dangdang~"
The other said: "Hehe, although this kid exudes an extremely powerful qi, but it is vague and messy, obviously just an ordinary person, let's catch a fat sheep, and this big black cow, and then we can eat a burst of beef, hahaha!" ”
The bandit who struck the gong said loudly: "Boy, we have already called someone, if you know each other, you should obediently hand over the valuable things on your body, otherwise it will not be so easy to use the knife later." ”
The old man's face is like ashes, if he doesn't have this cow, he won't be able to live in the future.
A cold light flashed in Zhuang Hong's eyes, and just as he wanted to start sending the two of them away, he heard a coquettish voice in the distance.
"Bandit, look at the sword!"
Immediately after that, a vigorous black figure rushed out from the side, passing past the two bandits at a rapid speed.
The sword flashed.
"Poof!"
The two bandits clutched their necks in shock, and the long knives in their hands fell to the ground with two thuds.
Zhuang Hong looked at the heroic black-clothed girl in the field, and couldn't help but applaud: "Awesome!" ”
The girl in black carried a package on her back, tied a high ponytail behind her head, and a clear and sweet face, and a heroic spirit emanated from her.
She casually put away her sword and raised her chin slightly proudly: "General!" ”
Just as she was about to leave, five or six bandits surrounded a big man and blocked her way.
The big man was extremely burly, holding a mace, tilting his head to look down at the woman in black, opening a mouthful of black teeth and laughing: "The little lady is really handsome, and she is still a secret martial artist, so it's better to be ......."
He held out his hand to the girl in black.
"Be my subordinate!"
……
There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same.
Of course, there will be no two identical worlds in this endless space.
Each world has its own uniqueness, unique geographical features, unique martial arts concepts, and unique ideas.
For example, Zhuang Hong's Jinyun World: When a strong man with strong blood faced a beautiful young girl, he said 'be my subordinate', instead of 'when I crush Mrs. Zhai'.
This was really out of Zhuang Hong's expectations, and besides, no one would take care of the two thieves who were killed?
Of course, Zhuang Hong didn't plan to change anything, just kill some of the wicked people he just met. As a traveler, he walked around and took a look, more to feel the different styles of different worlds, to experience the historical context of each world taking different paths.
It's good to be a bystander, he never thinks that others must live according to his outlook on life.
The girl in black sneered and said arrogantly: "I refuse, so I don't want to be in the company of you bandits." ”
The strong man laughed and said, "Then you can't refuse, who am I?" I'm the king of Niulan Mountain, a tough flyover warrior, woohahaha! ”
The girl in black unsheathed her long sword, and stabbed at the mace strong man with a sword under her feet.
The king of the bullpen also shouted to meet him.
Soon, a strong man and a girl fought together.
The girl's swift sword is quick and ruthless, and the bullpen king is not slow, and every blow has an incomparable force, often forcing the girl to temporarily change her tricks to dodge.
Overall, the strength of the bullpen king is stronger than the girl, and he presses and beats the girl, and seems to be worried about accidentally breaking the girl.
Zhuang Hong's eyes lit up when he saw it on the side, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Amazing, amazing!" ”
In the past two or three years of space exploration near the earth, he has rarely seen worlds with extraordinary abilities, most of them are ordinary, and the strongest is the beast world he uses to practice, but even the beast world is only an evolved flesh and blood power.
For example, the strength displayed by the girl in black and the strong man has obviously exceeded the limit that ordinary flesh can reach.
At this time, Zhuang Hong couldn't help but think that when Hei Jinhua said that the airspace where the earth was located was remote and barren, it might refer to whether the creatures of each world had extraordinary power.
In the world of barren airspace, living beings are ordinary and ordinary, while in the world of resource-rich airspace, living beings have a certain amount of extraordinary power.
In other words, Zhuang Hong is likely to be in an airspace with more abundant resources than the direction of the earth at this time......
While thinking wildly, Zhuang Hong observed the battle between the two, and suddenly asked the old man: "Uncle, what do they mean by secret martial artists and Tianqiao martial artists?" ”
Old man: "I don't know, aren't you a warrior?" ”
Zhuang Hong: "Ahem, my martial artist type is different from them. ”
The old man sighed and said: "Alas, young man, don't be impulsive in waiting, obediently handing over the money in your body may be able to save your life, and it is possible to save your life in the future, without your life, everything is gone, but this old cow who has been suffering with me for so long......"
He seemed to be convincing Zhuang Hong, and he seemed to be convincing himself.
At this time, the battle off the field became more dangerous, and it could be seen that the girl was gradually losing her strength.
Zhuang Hong said secretly: "That girl is afraid that she is going to lose." ”
Sure enough, as Zhuang Hong expected, the girl's movements were no longer as agile as before, and she raised her sword to block when she couldn't dodge in time.
"Dang!"
With a crisp sound, the girl's long sword suddenly broke in two, and she herself was blown away by the huge force, smashed into the tree and fell down.
"Hahaha!"
The king of the bullpen stepped forward with a mace in his hand and said condescendingly: "Do you know how powerful I am?" If you don't become my subordinate, you will die. ”
The girl spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, and pointed her sword at the king of the bullpen and said, "If I am your subordinate, how much is the monthly money?" ”
The king of the bullpen: "Give me half of what you grabbed, and the rest will be yours." ”
The girl said incredulously: "Only half? Why are you so dark? No! ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran.
The bullpen king was slightly stunned, and immediately waved his mace to chase: "At most, sixty percent, no more." ”
He ran as fast as a rushing boar, and soon stopped the girl again, and the other bandits also surrounded her and pointed their knives at her to prevent her from escaping again.
The bullpen king said domineeringly: "To be Lao Tzu's subordinate, at most it is sixty percent of the monthly money, and if you don't agree, you will die." Little ones, tie her back for me. ”
"Good bullpen king!"
The girl gritted her teeth and prepared to continue her escape with the broken sword.
At this time, Zhuang Hong already had a preliminary understanding of their force value, and he didn't plan to continue watching it, so he said loudly: "Hey." ”
The king of the bullpen turned his head to stare at Zhuang Hong, and asked with a calm face: "What, you also want to be my subordinate?" You're not qualified enough! Also, hand over all the valuable things on your body yourself, so that I don't have to search the dead, but you won't die. ”
At this time, the king of the bullpen had not forgotten his job of robbery.
The old man's scalp suddenly went numb, and he quietly hid behind the ox cart and stuffed his son and two oxen into the hay.
And Zhuang Hong's face was calm, he jumped off the ox cart, and slowly walked towards the bullpen king and other bandits, his right hand stretched out, and countless filaments shot out from his fingertips, under the control of 'control', like tentacles, around the space, straight into the heads of the bandits.
When the bullpen king saw Zhuang Hong coming, he laughed and walked towards Zhuang Hong with a mace.
The girl was anxious: "Hey, that kid, you can save your life by giving money, why do you still take the initiative to find death?" ”
She was about to burst out when she saw Zhuang Hong's fingers tighten into a fist.
"Huh!"
Countless fine silk threads suddenly emerged from Zhuang Hong's hands, reflecting white light in the mottled light.
In the next moment, including the extremely powerful bullpen king, all the bandits' bodies suddenly stiffened, fell to the ground and twitched wildly, wisps of blood oozed from their ears and eyes, and they quickly lost their lives.
Let them die without pain is Zhuang Hong's greatest kindness to the wicked.
At this time, Zhuang Hongcai slowly withdrew his hand and scattered the silk threads.
In the three-dimensional world, he is a near-invincible existence.
The girl and the old man were stunned by the sudden scene in front of them.
As if he had forgotten his words, he just stared blankly at the incredible scene in front of him, and his eyes finally locked on Zhuang Hong.
"Who the hell is this man who never seems to wake up? How did you do that? And those imperceptible threads......"
Zhuang Hong broke the silence, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Why don't you do a favor and bury them?" It's not good to just throw corpses into the wilderness. ”
The girl sat on the ground, leaned her back against the tree and breathed slowly, and said, "You don't need to bury them, just let them be eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards." ”
She looked Zhuang Hong up and down, but no matter how she looked at it, she didn't see how strong Zhuang Hong was, and he wasn't even a martial artist.
"Hey, my name is Liu Yueling, what's your name?"
"Zhuang Hong."
Liu Yueling wanted to ask Zhuang Hong, why he didn't fight these bandits earlier, did he want to be a hero to save the United States, but when he thought of Zhuang Hong's unpredictable methods, he still held back.
It took a long time to hold back a sentence: "You are ...... Jizo warriors? Did you deliberately pretend to be the messy qi on your body? ”
Zhuang Hong asked rhetorically: "What is a Jizo Warrior?" What is Gas? ”
Liu Yueling: "??? ”
Zhuang Hong asked again: "By the way, I was just about to ask you, that guy just said that you are a secret martial artist, what is a secret martial artist?" Is there a level of warrior? ”
Liu Yueling: "......"
She suspected that Zhuang Hong was pretending to be stupid with her, but looking at the sincere look, it didn't look like she was pretending.
"You really don't know? So how do you kill these bandits? ”
Zhuang Hong was about to answer, but suddenly felt something and hid to the side.
A hundred-legged monster with the thickness of a water tank suddenly poked its head out of the void and passed by Zhuang Hong's side.
Many of the sharp, long, hooked teeth on the mouthparts shrank violently, shattering a large tree in front of them, and the body was fully manifested in this world.
Its body dozens of meters long circled, turned its head, and squirmed its dense limbs and feet, and pounced towards Zhuang Hong again.
Liu Yueling was frightened stupidly, and retreated again and again, while the old man and the second cow who poked his head out of the forage stiffened and stared at the hundred-legged monster in a daze.
Zhuang Hong held the dragon tendon sword behind him with his backhand: "It's just a white beast ......"
As soon as he stepped on his feet, the mud and grass splashed, and his body met the centipede like a cannonball.
"Boom!"
"Poof!"
The hundred-legged monster turned into several sections in an instant, fell to the ground, and struggled to the death.
Zhuang Hong stepped forward, pierced the head of the centipped monster with a sword, and then slid down the carapace, and the centipped monster finally stopped.
He turned his head to Liu Yueling and the others, who were already stunned, and said, "You wait for me for a while, and then come back soon." ”
With that, he dragged a few centipede carcasses into the dense forest bushes.
A breeze blew, making the three of them shiver.
When Zhuang Hong came out with his stomach stroking, he almost couldn't help but burp.
He looked at the three people who were scared stupidly, spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to let it run out for a while, and I won't next time." By the way, what did you just ask me? ”
Liu Yueling said with a wooden expression: "No, it's nothing." ”
Zhuang Hong said again: "Why don't we take an ox cart first, and talk slowly on the road?" ”
"Okay."
"It was an accident just now, and that worm is nothing, so you don't have to be afraid."
"I believe in you."
