Chapter 533: Escape
The strong sunlight shone directly on the sea, shaking Wu Xiao, who was floating, was a little dizzy, it had been a day since he left the merchant ship, and after soaking in the cold and biting sea water for a night, Wu Xiao, who had barely used the original cultivation technique to float on the sea, felt the slightest warmth.
Squinted his eyes slightly for a while, took off all the clothes that were already soaked, and only a pair of underwear remained, in fact, wearing clothes in the water had not made his body feel warm in direct contact with the seawater, Wu Xiao stretched out his left arm, revealing a short knife tattoo on the inside of his arm.
He gently uncovered the tattoo with his fingernails, and this tattoo was unexpectedly peeled off by Wu Xiao like a layer of skin, putting a trace of vitality of the body cultivation into the soft short knife, and the short knife that was thin into the skin just now gradually hardened, and then turned into a real black short knife.
Wu Xiao gently pried open a small piece of metal on the handle of the short knife, revealing half a pill inside, which was already the only spiritual object on Wu Xiao's body, looking at the half pill, Wu Xiao hesitated, lightly knocked a little powder from it, and then wiped it into his mouth, and then he carefully put the metal block on the short knife.
This short knife is a magic weapon that he got when he went out to travel in Yuqing Courtyard, this magic weapon is not known what material it is made of, and its usual state is similar to that of the skin, and it can also be directly adsorbed on the skin, but after entering the vitality, it can become a real short knife.
Although it is only a Xuan-level low-grade magic weapon, but in the case of attaching to the skin, it can completely isolate the test of absolute aura, and a pill can be placed in the metal block just now as an emergency, this time he can only escape from the bottom cabin, he first accumulated a few hours of physical cultivation vitality, and then broke the rope. After taking half a pill to suppress the injury, he was able to sneak away from the bilge.
Although Wu Xiao knew that no one would kill him on the ship during this time, when the captain sent him to the Holy See, for his crimes, what was waiting for him was to be burned at the stake, and the more he went west. The farther away from the coastline, if he waited until his injuries were almost recovered, and then escaped, he was now slightly stronger than an ordinary person, and it was almost impossible to cross the sea for more than a month.
So he chose to escape in the shortest time, and now it seems to be very smooth, according to his understanding of this sea area, it will be two days at most to reach the northern continent, as long as there is no wind and waves in these two days. That's a real life.
Although he was secretly glad in his heart, Wu Xiao was also extremely depressed in his heart, his dantian was completely broken now, even if he could live, it was impossible to practice again, only by practicing some of the low-level body cultivation techniques he had obtained, his lifespan would be more than a hundred years at most, and it seemed that it was impossible to take revenge in this life.
I drifted for a day with complicated thoughts. When the cold hit at night, Wu Xiao's lips turned purple in the cold water. He endured it, and then waited until he couldn't hold on anymore, and then slightly used the body refining vitality he had accumulated for a day to keep warm.
Of course, he didn't dare to use the vitality extravagantly all the time, after all, there was no dantian now, and the body refining vitality accumulated in a day was in the meridians, which was not even as good as a cultivator of the innate realm. If this bit of vitality is exhausted, it is normal for it to freeze to death in this sea.
In this way, Wu Xiao spent two days and two nights in bitter suffering, and when he saw the coastline and land in front of him, he was almost about to cry, and it was already dark at this time. He slammed into the water a few times, used all the strength of his body, and quickly swam to the shore, and saw that there was no one around, and Wu Xiao didn't know what place it was, so he crawled to find a relatively large stone, and put the soaked clothes on the stone that still had residual temperature to dry.
Then he himself leaned against the stone and leaned up, feeling the warm stone on his back, which made him think of the warm kang in Daqi's hometown before he practiced, Wu Xiao couldn't help but shed two lines of tears in his eyes, now the dantian is broken, even if he can walk around in the future, it is estimated that it is impossible to return to Daqi.
Back then, he came to the country of Jiaguan through the mountains west of the Ziyun Mountain Range, in the vast mountains and forests of tens of thousands of miles, there were all kinds of high-level spirit beasts, Wu Xiao walked through the mountains and forests was simply nine deaths, I don't know how many dangers to experience, in order to be lucky to reach the country of Jiaguan.
After arriving in the country of Jiaguan, he found that the realm of people there was relatively low, so he moved the idea of robbery, that is, at that time, he came into contact with the monks of Western countries, and also learned some languages of Western countries, but unfortunately, he just robbed less than ten people, and lived in the country of Jiaguan for more than half a year, he offended a royal family in the country, and in desperation, he had to choose to leave again and came to the vast sea.
When he was sacked by pirates with a merchant ship, he used his array plate on the ocean for the first time, but he didn't expect that this time he trapped a whole ship of pirates, and the captain of the merchant ship immediately treated him as a guest, but in the process of communicating with the pirates, he was bewitched by the pirate leader who was later regarded as the one-eyed shark, and one night he released all the pirates, and then ransacked the merchant ship he was on with the pirates, and began his career as a pirate.
After these pirates had their own array, they were simply like tigers, and soon they broke into the name of a one-eyed shark in this area, and almost all the merchant ships under his array were not spared, except for a time when a great swordsman used a high-level magic weapon to break the magic circle, his array was damaged at that time, and the rest did not escape a single person.
Of course, this also brought great benefits to himself, every time he grabbed the spar he had to leave for him to use first, because the array disk in his hand needed the spar to drive, all the women and magic weapons had to be picked by him first, and even the boss who was regarded as a one-eyed shark was respectful when he saw him.
However, all of this came to naught three days ago, and when he saw Su Ruo, he knew that it was already difficult to survive this time, but Su Ruo only knocked him unconscious, and the monk named Qin Wen directly destroyed his dantian, if it weren't for that short knife, he would have absolutely no way to escape from the bilge and come here.
In this complex and intertwined emotion, Wu Xiao leaned on the slightly warm stone and gradually fell asleep, when he woke up, he suddenly felt a relatively unfamiliar hunger, this feeling of hunger he hadn't felt for a long time, even in the mountains west of the Ziyun Mountain Range, at that time he was already a monk at the lower level of the Xuan Master, as long as he ran the vitality to cultivate, he would not feel hungry if he didn't eat for a month or two.
At this time, he already knew clearly that he was an ordinary person now, even if he had a trace of vitality replenished by physical cultivation, if he was hungry and lack of water for ten days, he would also starve to death, so the top priority was to find food first, and he struggled to get up and put on his slightly damp clothes.
Then he raised his eyes and looked around, now he was on a beach, half a mile away was a deserted bush, it seemed that there was no one around, Wu Xiao shook his body and walked towards the bushes, and after coming to the bushes, there was still a desolate field in the distance.
Seeing that there were still some red berries left on the bushes, Wu Xiao couldn't help but be slightly happy in his heart, so he immediately picked them, and he didn't care about the sourness of the berries, and directly stuffed his mouth full, and waited until his hunger was slightly relieved, Wu Xiao squatted on the ground to rest contentedly.
After half a pillar of incense, he knew that it was not a way for him to be here all the time, if he wanted to survive, he had to find a place where the crowd lived first, Wu Xiao, who was beating his spirit, limped in the direction of the north again, and walked for nearly a day, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in the distance.
Wu Xiao didn't know who the other party was, so he hurriedly squatted on the edge of a bush next to him, covered his body with branches and leaves, and then looked out through the gap, and then he saw a young priest in a papal costume muttering something in his mouth, while walking in his direction.
Wu Xiao was shocked in his heart, he was already listed as the target of the Holy See's pursuit, many clergy had seen his portrait, if he was recognized by this priest, it would be a big trouble, thinking of this, Wu Xiao couldn't help but take out the short knife on his arm, and gently input a trace of vitality, turning the short knife from soft to hard.
Then he took out the half of the pill in the handle of the short knife, gently held it in his mouth, and saw the priest's footsteps getting closer and closer, he knew that he only had one chance to fight for life and death, although he did not have the slightest aura on his body, but the biggest advantage of this short knife was that there was no aura fluctuation when he moved, as long as the priest could not see himself, even if he stabbed the short knife out, he could not feel any aura fluctuations at all.
Seeing the priest's footsteps getting closer and closer, the half of the pill in Wu Xiao's mouth gradually fell into his stomach, just when the distance between the two was less than two zhang, Wu Xiao suddenly felt that something was not right, this priest walked straight, not caring about the road under his feet at all, whether it was bushes or stones, his footsteps always maintained a certain amplitude, without the slightest mess, of course, he was also deaf to the nearby situation.
What is this priest doing in this kind of wasteland, Wu Xiao can't help but put a question mark in his heart, but as the priest gets closer and closer, he has no time to think about it, half a zhang, three feet, the priest is already close to Wu Xiao, Wu Xiao gritted his teeth, just raised the short knife horizontally, and before he could stab it, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and Wu Xiao's heart suddenly cooled.
