Volume 2: Catching the Cicada Chapter 21: Strategizing for a Thousand Miles
The remnant sun is like blood, shining in the sky above the vast and dense mountain forest, and the silent forest seems to hide countless ghost tooth demon eyes, waiting for the night to drag the prey into the abyss, suck and chew.
The beasts in the mountains and forests finished their day's hunting, and when they were full, they licked the blood sweetness from the corners of their mouths and nested in their holes ready to sleep. Those with empty stomachs are only unwilling to rush back hungry, and no one dares to wander in the primeval forest in the middle of the night.
Liu Ying swallowed the last sweet bite of the Ganoderma lucidum-like plant in her hand, feeling the fresh taste in her mouth and the rich medicinal power surging in her belly, and was very satisfied. Meditating on his knees at the top of a big tree, he began the cultivation of the evening class of the day.
Since arguing with Long Lan and the others that day, it has been three days since everyone parted ways.
When Liu Ying finished telling his reasoning, everyone was still in disbelief, and Sang Kan muttered that this story was not much different from his usual nonsense, and this statement was quickly defeated by Liu Ying taking out the half bottle he found in the fire. When the end of the naphthalene also proved that there was a powerful coma-causing "honey grass juice" in it, the accuracy of Liu Ying's inference was self-evident.
Although the incident has almost restored the truth, the term "spy" is still confusing, and it seems difficult to prove whether there is such a "spy" or whether it is emotionally or evidenced, and who the "spy" is, whether he is alive or dead.
And in Liu Ying's reasoning, there is indeed one biggest loophole, in such a short period of time, and he has not been in contact with anyone else, how did this information be sent?
Therefore, Long Lan advocated putting it aside for the time being, not to be suspicious of each other and deviate from morality;
Liu Ying insisted on an immediate and thorough investigation, otherwise the road ahead would be steep and he would definitely enter the urn again.
Muwu and Handona hesitated and made a decision, and the young men of the Yika tribe were divided into two factions. In the end, the anger on everyone's head ended with a duel in which Long Lan challenged Liu Ying.
In that duel, Long Lan relied on the outstanding performance of "Dragon Soul Armor" and "Blood Drink" to defend as a rock, and Liu Ying attacked thrilling with a strange body and the "Night" with amazing lethality in his hands.
In the end, Liu Ying failed in the long-term attack, but was cut through his clothes by a spear and lost half a move.
This battle was the first battle between the two, although Long Lan played an extremely exciting offensive and defensive battle, and Liu Ying did not lose much ugly even if she was alone.
But it can be seen from the indifferent eyes of the two that what they really lost was the comradeship that was finally established between two excellent and proud young people.
Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Liu Ying took out a fiery red "mushroom" from his arms, and held it in his mouth to replenish the internal qi and vitality that had been lost due to the "not bad" cultivation.
Because the cultivation of "beating gong" requires a large number of herbs to take medicinal baths and replenish the body, Wang Lun and Liu Ying both have herbal medicine knowledge that is not slightly worse than that of senior Chinese medicine practitioners, but it is limited to herbal medicine and meridian knowledge.
After accidentally obtaining a copy of the medical notes of the last naphthalene, combined with the popular science stored in the microbrain about the history, geography, language, flora and fauna of Jiwo Wa Xing, Liu Ying was able to identify the properties and efficacy of some of the herbs. Otherwise, even if I was worried about someone poisoning me that night, I wouldn't dare to casually look for plant juice in the forest to use as a seasoning.
Holding a fiery red mushroom called "Sam Luo Qi", the willow shadow swayed, moving and jumping between the branches of the canopy, dancing with the "hundred hands".
For a while, I saw that the figure was like a ghost, the fist wind was like a bowstring, the soft could be wrapped around a hundred threads, and the rigidity broke the mountains and rivers.
After a long time, Liu Ying closed his fist, stood on the top of the tree with one foot, let out a long roar and ran up the dantian, sealed it under the palate, and finally ran to the 108 acupoints around the body, scattered outside the body to form a layer of air film and blast away.
The sign of the perfection of the first layer of internal strength of "Beat Gong" is to completely open the 108 major acupoints around the body and form a small circulation of internal force, which Liu Ying has completed 3 years ago.
The second layer needs to be warmed and penetrated 309 pairs of double acupoints, but this layer is far away, and none of the acupoints and willow shadows on the second layer have been penetrated in the past 3 years. I didn't expect to open 3 at once today, I originally thought that I didn't work hard enough, but now it seems that it is due to the lack of vitality on the earth and the serious lack of aura between heaven and earth.
Rejoicing that the exercises had made progress again, Liu Ying inadvertently looked in the direction where Han Duona and the others had left, and a faint melancholy swelled up.
I still like this group of hot-blooded and brave partners very much, and I think of my comrades-in-arms on the earth, but what I miss even more is the old man, old ghost, sick bear and other friends of life and death who are far away on the earth, as well as the mysterious person who helped him in the "Endless Villa", and perhaps, the little witch Li Zifei who has a little affection for herself.
I really miss it, I have to find a way to go back early, and I don't have to worry about it if I die, but since I am still alive, the sequelae of killing Jiang Feng cannot be borne by the old man.
If you can come here, you will definitely be able to go back the same way, whether it is to repay the grace of saving your life or to make a request to "someone or a certain god", it seems that you must solve the "rebellion against the gods" in Muwu's mouth as soon as possible.
I don't quite understand why a certain god chose himself and Long Lan to be the so-called "divine envoys", and used his magical power to summon these people, and then left them here and ignored them. But what she doesn't understand, Liu Ying has always been too lazy to think about it, so she put it aside first.
I vaguely felt in my heart that the path Long Lan chose might be the way that "a certain god" secretly promised, but first, I was unwilling to grind time step by step, and second, Liu Ying had always had her own ideas and methods of doing things, deliberately taking the opportunity to make trouble, pretending to be defeated and embarrassed to leave, and she was also ready to try to crack this game according to her own ideas.
After a half-rest, Liu Ying took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged again, thinking and planning while continuing to run the True Qi, polishing and refining for ten years, strengthening vitality, and spending the long night in the lonely cultivation.
In this way, while exploring the secluded treasure hunt, expanding the acupoints, while polishing and refining, occasionally the interest came to wrestle with the local fierce beasts with bare hands, and to have a palm with the wild bear, and it took more than 20 days before and after to "visit" to the place that Terra said and was rescued by Muwu.
According to Terra, he was the intelligence liaison sent by the Ikka Patriarch to the Imperial City, responsible for collecting and retrieving all information that came back from the Imperial City. This time, the intelligence officer risked his life to send an important piece of information, and before he could receive it, he was followed by the enemy, so a long pursuit and escape began, and his comrades were arrested or killed in order to cover him, and he finally threw off the enemy and fled to this hidden stronghold after being seriously injured by poisoning and fainted.
Liu Ying is an excellent scout himself, and at some times he also works as a spy and respects Terra's professionalism, so he didn't expose the information he hid in the flesh of his inner thighs. Now that I think about it, I regret it, if I had that information as an introduction, my plan would have been much simpler.
After walking out for about half a day, there began to be traces of human traffic, so, in the evening of this day, an old farmer's house came to a young offspring who stayed overnight, the offspring was about eighteen or nineteen years old, full of wind and dust, carrying a vine-woven herbal basket on his back, a climbing rope tied around his waist, dark skin, bald head and green skin, the obvious characteristics of the typical branch of the medicine picker in the "Dianshan tribe".
The young man had a thrilling wolf claw scratch from the right neck to the left abdomen, which had not yet fully recovered, so he spoke "slowly, intermittently and hoarsely", and the old peasant took pity on his loneliness and stayed for a few more days, and learned that this descendant was called "Li Fei", and his ancestors had been the medicine pickers of the "Dianshan Clan" for generations.
The medicine pickers live in isolation and wander is understood by all ethnic groups, but they are also valued by other ethnic groups because of their ability to collect, distinguish and use medicines. Li Fei's father died in the wolf's mouth two months ago, and he took over his father's bag by luck, and after recovering from his injuries, he also began to collect medicine.
The old farmer drank Ma Sang water and Li Fei idle, while looking at the herbs in the basket of the back of the descendants, although he could not understand them all, but he also found a lot of good things with decades of life experience, and then saw that Li Fei's climbing rope was not gold and wood, and the tenacity was abnormal, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, this ancestral thing can be regarded as a good object, and he couldn't help but praise the young man's father Although he died, he still left a legacy for his son and benefited future generations.
A few days later, the young man who was eager to go outside the world said goodbye to the old farmer, and embarked on the trip again with great interest, the old farmer waved goodbye to Li Fei with satisfaction after receiving a wolf leg, and then closed the door and wrote a simple report easily, which was put aside casually, waiting for a fixed time to summarize and report.
In this way, Liu Ying continued to improve Li Fei's identity while walking towards the imperial city. Along the way, his "injury" gradually improved, and his language became more and more fluent, no longer "slow, intermittent and hoarse". Behavior, movements, and living habits are becoming more and more like a native of the mountain tribe. When he arrived at a large market town, he exchanged a few "night flowers" for a small number of crystal coins, and then spent money to get on the ground bear hovering car to the imperial city.
Liu Ying, who was cowering in a corner of the hovercar and pretending to sleep, felt the speed of the bear outside the car, and was not only very puzzled.
Ji Wo Wa Xing seems to be a partial warrior who has distorted the skill tree, and the main direction of science and technology seems to be in terms of guns, weapons, marching and fighting, etc., both high-tech auxiliary systems such as microbrains, as well as amazing works such as mobile barriers and optical weapons.
However, in life, civil, aviation, culture and other aspects, it is a primitive mess, as if it is the initial stage of transition from hunting civilization to agricultural civilization. Is it because of the intervention of "God" that the evolution of low-level civilizations has been forcibly jumped? Or is there a big hand consciously controlling the direction of civilization development?
The armed forces of this planet are more like a hodgepodge of stewed in the Northeast, with live ammunition firearms, laser weapons, summoning techniques, personal brave cold weapons, I heard that there are also mechas, magicians, and even magic arts, oh yes, I have also seen vampires and magic arrays, but I lack air supremacy weapons, Liu Ying can't help but cover my face, what kind of mess are they.
The hovercar carried more than 20 people, and was sandwiched between a total of 8 ground bears on the left and right, front and back, and used the natural levitation magic talent of the ground bear to hold it half a meter above the ground, and walked forward easily.
The Earth Bear has a gentle temperament, lovely intelligence, hard-working and close-hearted, but the speed is not too fast, and it is the preferred tool for the civilians of Jiwo Wa Star to travel far away.
Along the way, the convoy passed through two cities, two large and medium-sized market towns, and five small villages, and was inspected by armed patrols six times. Along the way, some people got on and off the bus, and at the most, nearly 50 people were crowded on the bus. The ground bear changed several batches, and even the people who drove the car changed 2 stubbles.
Liu Ying silently observed and chatted casually, and every time he went to a rest point, he had to explore around curiously, exchanging the herb Ganoderma lucidum he had earned with his life for a large number of useful and useless new gadgets.
Qualified to play the image of a "young man who walks out of the mountains, yearns for a big city, and has only heard but has not seen the outside world, both vigilant and excited".
