Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Whetstone
A day later.
Sitting on the flying carpet, looking down at the fortress below that was like a dog's tooth staggered on the ground, it was now spreading its colorful shields, stubbornly resisting the enemy's attacks.
The siege weapons in front of the fortress that looked like catapults were lined up side by side, and then huge balls of light were constantly thrown at the fortress, and from time to time there were brilliant beams of light shooting out from the fortress, which was like an interstellar war.
Although Oculus sensed that many people were probing the Flying Carpet, as soon as he also sensed the flag in Fili's hand, he automatically retreated, ignoring it.
When the two sides are fighting, the attacked side can send some people to the back of the attacking side to cause destruction, there is no limit on the number of people, but it can only be people below the ninth order, and this period of time will not exceed a month, otherwise there will be a demigod powerhouse to do it, this situation has lasted for I don't know how many years.
Fili had said in advance that there would be a month, but Oculus never felt that there was much chance of winning, with a group of ninth-order people with no combat power, and there was still no unity, especially under the condition of not knowing the situation on the other side of the road, I don't know if he could survive the first day safely.
As we left the battlefield below, the sound of the battle grew farther and farther away, and the speed of the flying carpet became faster.
Even if you sit in the back and look up at the front, you can see a clear black line on the ground, and as you get closer to the black line, you can see that it is a constantly squirming ground, like a wriggling stomach. The two parties continued to devour each other, stretching on the ground for many miles.
As soon as the flying carpet flew above the black line, Okulus felt that the whole world suddenly stopped, and he couldn't move anything except to think, and after a while, his body recovered, and then the flying carpet was able to fly normally.
When I came back to my senses, I felt nauseous, and then I couldn't feel any energy around my body. Even breathing is a little difficult. As soon as you flew over the black line, some of the strangeness disappeared.
"Do you feel it?" Oculus looked at his hands, shook them vigorously, and looked down at the stunning landscape below. Asked in the soul.
"Well, I feel it, though not too obviously. But the whole heaven and earth are indeed rejecting us. It looks like a tough battle. This is no joke, you will lose your life at any time, so get ready!"
"Well, how are you, can you do it here?" said Oculus, holding out his illusions.
"I can't help you here. You're on your own. Shi Ying lay on Oculus's head, his eyes kept looking around, and he said with a frown.
"I know!" said Oculus solemnly.
"Also, don't go all out like last time, don't leave yourself a little leeway, I can't help you here, remember!"
"Okay!
"It doesn't depend on the situation, even though the environment is different, but I don't feel any limitations. Oculus said as he looked at the cyclone of energy that appeared in his palm.
"It doesn't have any effect on your body, but the energy is still consumed. Shi Ying said as he looked back at the expanding cyclone in Oculus.
"Although the laws here are different, and there is no energy to absorb, nothing else has changed. Oculus pointed to a vibrant scene below, "You look at the animals, and the plants, there's basically no difference. ”
"If you think so, you should wait for death!" Shi Ying said suddenly.
Listening to Shi Ying's words, he asked strangely, "What is it for?"
"Those laws are different, it means that the composition of heaven and earth is different, and the same things will be different, although I don't know how big the difference is, but be careful!"
"Do you need to be so careful? Don't you see they don't react?" said Oculus, gesturing to the others in front of him.
"You're different from them, they're just a passerby in your life, don't care about them, now you just have to keep accumulating, although you're now ahead of them, but in my opinion it's nothing. ”
"Alas, I know that I have said, although you say so, but I haven't seen anyone stronger than me, and I don't know what the gap between me and them is, I really want to try!"
"No, everyone will hide good things, it's not so easy to see. But can you try it here?"
"Here?" said Oculus, surprised, "didn't you say keep a low profile? I don't want to be besieged, and there is no way back." ”
"Do you remember the axe skills you practiced?"
I often think about how to be more proficient, and I have experimented with some methods, but it seems that there is no effect. As he spoke, he took out his axe and touched the face of the axe that clearly reflected his shadow.
"Of course, that set of axe skills is not heavy, although there are not many routines, but the overall changes are thousands, I remember that he seemed to have taken a name back then, although because of that name, everyone knew the way, and then was challenged by countless people, but those people failed one by one. ”
"What's the name? When you hear the name, you challenge it, how 、、、、、 that name should be! Attract hatred, it's even more powerful than a mocking face. Oculus thought up.
Shi Ying thought for a while and said: "It seems to be called the thirty-six axes of opening the sky, and it is also said that as long as you practice to the end, you can open the world, although most people know that the Tao is fake, but there is still an endless stream of people who go to the competition." ”
In his mind, Oculus seemed to see an arrogant man, standing on top of an invisible mountain, with a misshapen axe in his hand, looking at the people below who were constantly flying towards the mountain, and his eyes looked like they were looking at ants. With the axe in his hand raised slightly, the faces of all the people below changed greatly, and they didn't even let out a shout, and then turned into flying ashes and scattered in the wind, leaving only the lonely figure between heaven and earth.
"The mouth is out!"
Oculus, who came back to his senses, hurriedly wiped the crystal on the corner of his mouth, and said with a longing on his face: "How can I practice?"
"Experience the threat between life and death, and then there is a glimmer of possibility of success, and the rest depends on the individual's ability and talent. After Shi Ying finished speaking, he patted Oculus's head and said, "Okay, let's put this matter down for now, or think about the things in front of you." ”
After receiving Shi Ying's warning, Oculus also frowned, knowing that now is not the time to be impatient.
But as soon as he looked up at the others in front of him, who had not changed much, and Filip, who had not spoken, he also held down his restless heart.
At night.
Sitting on the flying carpet, looking at the starry sky that made no difference, and the shadows constantly passing by in the sky, looking at Fili, who had not stopped flying, sighed, the original mood from the initial nervousness, restlessness, helplessness, until now, has been a little collapsed.
Lying on top of the flying carpet, looking up at the starry sky, counting the stars in boredom, and then feeling the flying carpet beneath him start to slow down and fly downward, Oculus couldn't help but cheer up.
Although I can't see the situation below, I can still tell from the direction of the surrounding mountains that it is a valley, and there is a faint light in the valley.
The flying carpet fell towards a valley, all around it was pitch black, there was no figure in sight, only the sound of insects, but Oculus was very speechless, especially looking at the statue in the valley that was 100 meters high, and he didn't know what to say, slowly descending from the sky, and in the process of descending, he could see that it was a statue of death.
The hundred-meter-tall statue of the Grim Reaper stands in the valley, although it looks a little old, and traces of maintenance can still be seen at that time, but the appearance that glows slightly in the night sky, and the insects that swirl around the statue, especially here, are too arrogant.
As soon as the flying carpet hit the ground, the others jumped down, looked left and right, and left in twos and threes, leaving only Fili and Oculus.
"Alas, all of them are acute. What about you, not leaving?" said Fili as he shook his head and looked at Oculus, who was still moving.
"I'm not in a hurry, I wonder if there's anything you want to say?" said Oculus, looking back at Fili as he looked around. "Appoint me captain when you come, is it causing me trouble?"
"No! It's just an order, it's just that I changed my tone a little, sorted out my way, and said less. ”
"I don't seem to have offended you!" Oculus said in confusion as he listened to Fili's straightforward answer, thinking about his previous events.
"I don't want to either! It's all orders from above, although it's more than enough for you to be their captain, but those people are not good-tempered, usually stubborn to death, except for those captains, no one listens to their words, it's just a model of not suffering and not going back. Filipe said helplessly.
Oculus turned to look at the huge statue and said slowly with a calm face, "So, I am the whetstone. ”
Listening to Oculus' parable, Fili said, "Yes!"
"Aren't you afraid that they will be worn out by me?" Oculus was very disgusted by this kind of thing, and said unhappily, "Why did you choose me?"
Filip hurriedly waved his hand, and hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said, "It's none of my business, it's an order from the Great Commander." They are all top-notch talents under each captain, and it is inevitable that they will be a little arrogant. This time, except for the first captain and the second captain, all the captains have sent people over, and they all hope that the people below can show their faces here!"
"Then, because he knew that none of them would obey anyone, he sent me to hone them. ”
Looking at Oculus, who had exposed his face, Fili sighed, "So I don't want to come, I can't hide it from you as long as I speak." I didn't even think about how to tell you all the way, and if it wasn't for my turn this time, I wouldn't have said anything. (To be continued......)
