Chapter XXVIII
Zhou Ziheng and the three of them can fly, and Wang Xiaotian can also glide over by himself, which saves a lot of time than walking over on two legs.
Zhou Ziheng said: "There are three reasons. First, the color of the scale armor of the earthly dragon is mostly gray-green, and it often hides in the shrubs, using the color of the shrubs to hide itself in order to hunt other animals, and it is difficult to find its traces from the shrubs if you fly in the sky to observe. ”
"Second, the Earth Dragons inhabit caves, and unless your eyes can penetrate the canopy or rocks, you will not be able to find its traces at all. ”
"Third, the Earth Walking Dragon is a seventh-level beast, it's hard to say how smart it is, but it's definitely not a brainless fool, otherwise it would not be possible to be promoted to the seventh level. If you see several strange species that can fly in the sky, will it sense the danger and hide? The underground of Savage Ridge is full of caves, and the paths are intricate, once it hides in the cave, where should it be found?"
"Therefore, the best way to find the Earth Walking Dragon is to walk over it step by step, find its traces and touch the melon, and then ......" Zhou Ziheng made a chopping motion, "This is the best plan." ”
"How does Scar know the way?"
Zhou Ziheng pondered for a moment, "It is said that he is the only one who can come out alive after entering that area." ”
Wang Xiaotian suddenly felt unreliable. However, there seems to be no better way at the moment.
He was silent for a moment and asked, "Can having the original crystal cure the mercy?"
"Mercy is not sick. She was just congenitally weak. This was a common problem of the Augustan family. The Augustan family, every genius who dies young, is an awakened talent that is too good, but his own qualifications are too poor, and his qualifications are too poor to withstand the needs of the talent and die. ”
"For example, qualification is the material of a sword, and talent is the sword skill that the user has comprehended. If you only have a sword in your hand that can withstand the third-level Force, but you have to use it to perform the sword skills of the fifth-level Force, what will be the result?"
"Force Impact will directly blast the sword to pieces. ”
"That's right. Therefore, those geniuses of the Augustan family are often unable to withstand the impact of the skills they have comprehended and die. Even those geniuses who can reach the top of martial arts often die because their bodies are overwhelmed. ”
Wang Xiaotian was surprised, "Do you really have such a powerful talent? I mean, for other eighth-level cultivators, is their awakened talent even more powerful?"
Zhou Ziheng nodded slowly, "That's true." I have checked the information, the reason why the geniuses of the Augustus family are called the reappearance of the glory of the Martial Emperor after being promoted to the eighth level cultivator and the martial arts ascending to the top is because they are almost all crushed by cultivators of the same level. In fact, the cultivators of the Augustan family were able to crush the same level. ”
"It's so rebellious. ”
"Smack!" Zhou Ziheng raised his hand and gave Wang Xiaotian a chisel, "Children don't swear." ”
"Oh!" Wang Xiaotian cried out in pain while covering his head. Although Zhou Ziheng didn't use the Force, his body was already strengthened by the seventh-level Force, which was much stronger than Wang Xiaotian's fifth-level Force-strengthened body, which made him feel painful.
Wang Xiaotian rubbed his head for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Isn't it dangerous?"
Zhou Ziheng nodded, "Of course." ”
Wang Xiaotian asked weakly, "Can you not go?"
Seeing Zhou Ziheng's threatening eyes, he hurriedly explained: "I mean me and Pian You, stay outside and wait for you." Let's say, in that cabin. ”
"Once the original crystal is removed from the body of the Earth Walking Dragon, it must be used immediately, otherwise it will lose its effectiveness. ”
"Then we'll wait for you outside the cave of the Earth Dragon?"
"You think that outside of the habitat of the Earth Walking Dragon, there are no powerful beasts, do you? Do you think that you, a rookie who has just been promoted to the fifth level, can run rampant in the forest of Savage Ridge, right?"
"It's not. I didn't mean that. ”
"I know what you mean. However, this road is by no means a safe and smooth road, and danger can happen at any time, and you must not let Pian Yu take any risks. You follow us honestly, don't be clever and extraneous. When you find the Earth Dragon, you will naturally be on your side to protect the Mercy. ”
Wang Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't let him go to the ground and walk the dragon.
A fifth-level rookie, against a seventh-level high-level alien beast. Hmph, the beast can crush him with its little toes.
"Also," Zhou Ziheng smiled slightly: "Along the way, you will encounter a lot of strange beasts below level five, which is a good opportunity for you to exercise." So ......"
"But my injuries haven't healed yet...... Wang Xiaotian hurriedly found a reason to excuse himself.
"Will be well soon. Moreover, there is still a long distance from here to the lair of the Earth Walking Dragon, and there are many ordinary beasts along the way. Just use them to hone your sword intent. ”
"When your arm is fully recovered, it is estimated that the sword intent has also been greatly improved. At that time, the beast of the same level should not be your opponent, well, you can try a leapfrog challenge, it is quite exciting. Hehe. You can rest assured that with my protection, your life will not be in danger. ”
Wang Xiaotian's face became very exciting. Honeping his sword intent was what he needed most at the moment. He is not unacceptable to skip the challenge. It's just that...... Listening to the meaning of Zhou Ziheng's words, as long as his life is not in danger, Zhou Ziheng will not make a move.
Not life-threatening...... That is, if you are injured or something, Zhou Ziheng will not make a move. This...... This is clearly putting on your own little shoes!
If it were replaced by Cao Lianyou, would he torture her so ruthlessly? What a difference between men and women! In the final analysis, Zhou Ziheng was still obsessed with his failure to apprentice and waited for an opportunity to take revenge on himself.
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but be indignant.
Zhou Ziheng saw Wang Xiaotian's dissatisfaction, his eyes immediately sharpened, and he directly looked at Wang Xiaotian thoroughly, as if he was a transparent person, and all the thoughts in his heart were hidden.
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but shudder.
In fact, Zhou Ziheng's requirements for Wang Xiaotian did not exceed the requirements of ordinary masters for apprentices. There is a saying that jade is not cut into a weapon, and some masters are much more ruthless to their apprentices than Zhou Ziheng to Wang Xiaotian.
Martial arts practice has never been about flowers blooming and the moon is full and the years are quiet, but swords and swords, and life is fighting. When you play against a strong enemy in the future, is it possible that every time, you will count on the master to come to the rescue? At the end of the day, you can only rely on yourself.
Therefore, in the growth stage, the master is stricter, beating the apprentice hard, and letting him grow up as soon as possible, which is responsible for the apprentice.
Wang Xiaotian also understands this truth, but he is just a little uncomfortable in his heart. Besides, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Therefore, he decided to endure it, no longer angry with Zhou Ziheng, and felt uncomfortable.
The group soon came to Taniguchi.
Wang Xiaotian saw that the woman and Shen Shuming were standing in front of the cabin together.
The woman's face was covered with wind and frost, there was no joy or sorrow, and her eyes were dull and unfocused, not as angry as when I saw her yesterday. Compared with the burly Shen Shuming, he looks even more rickety, thin and dry.
Seeing that there was no expression on the woman's face, Wang Xiaotian secretly wondered, didn't Shen Shuming tell her that Scar Lao He was dead? Why didn't she look surprised or sad at all?
Zhou Ziheng stepped forward and asked, "What does she know?"
Shen Shuming said: "She said that she wanted to see the scar with her own eyes. ”
Zhou Ziheng showed displeasure and said to the woman: "Didn't you tell you that Scar Lao He is dead?
The woman said, "It's not that I don't believe you. I just want to see him one last time. ”
The last side...... Wang Xiaotian suddenly had a bad premonition.
Zhou Ziheng couldn't help frowning, "You should know that Scar Lao He is not a good person at all, and he has done the same things as a traitor, murder and arson." And the business he did was also a knife licking blood, life and death are impermanent, and you should have been aware of his death. ”
"Besides, you and Scar Lao He are not the husband and wife that Ming Media is marrying at all, you are with him, but you just take what you need, why bother to seek death for him?"
The woman whispered, "I know he's not a good person. I wasn't even husband and wife with him, he didn't treat me well, and often beat me and scolded me. However, I am just a weak woman, and I am counting on him to live, and I really can't live without him. ”
The woman turned her head to look at the small village in the valley, "He used to go out, and most of them would come back in three or five days, and if he went for a long time, he would explain it in advance." These people were afraid of him, and they didn't dare to do anything to me, but they were muttering behind their backs, and when he was gone, they would do whatever they wanted to do with me...... That cruel hatred, I can't cramp and skin me and eat it alive. ”
The woman continued to whisper, "This time he hurried out, and there was no news for a long time, and they all guessed that he was dead. People like him who often go into the old forest, I don't know when they will put their lives into it, and it is too normal to die in the old forest. ”
"Now, they only guessed that he was dead, and did not know the letter of permission, so they did not dare to do too much, and only drove me out of the largest room, the one where you lived last night, and did not let me live in the village, nor gave me food. ”
"These days, I can only dig some wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger, and I am here waiting for him to come back. If you let them know, he's really dead. Do you think they're going to give me a way to live?"
Hearing the woman's miserable experience, Wu Ling'er suddenly felt pity and hurriedly asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
The woman shook her head gently, "I can't eat it." ”
Wang Xiaotian couldn't bear it, and wanted to open his mouth to plead and ask Zhou Ziheng to help the woman, but he couldn't bear it.
This woman is just an ordinary person, and the place they are going to is extremely dangerous, not to mention fierce beasts, ordinary poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, they can kill her, and there is no way to take her with them. But if she is left here, how can the people in the village tolerate her?
Even if they use force to intimidate the villagers, as long as they don't show up for three to five days, those villagers will intensify their torture of the women. And the woman's physical condition is extremely poor now, and she can't bear the hardships of a long journey.
Zhou Ziheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay to take you there, but we are pressed for time and can't send you back." And the place we're going to is so dangerous that we can't take you there. If you want, I can have someone send you to a nearby town right now, and I'll give you some money to settle down in. You think it through. ”
The woman said, "There's nothing to think about. This place I never want to come back to. What can I do if I go to another town? I'm an old, ugly, sick woman, how do I live?" she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
The woman raised her hand and wiped her tears, "What's the use of giving me money, I'm a weak woman with money, and I will definitely be snatched away." You take me to see him one last time. I will give you what he left behind. ”
After listening to what the woman said, Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but persuade: "It's better to die than to live, is it more difficult to make a living elsewhere than to die?"
The woman shook her head.
Zhou Ziheng said softly: "Mourning is greater than dying." Now that she's made her decision...... We should respect her choice. Fight the sword, you carry her. Little tree, you bring the dog and the little monkey. ”
Wang Xiaotian walked over and squatted down in front of the woman. The woman lay on top of him.
Wang Xiaotian stood up, feeling that it was not difficult to carry this woman on his back, so he nodded to Zhou Ziheng and signaled that he was ready.
Shen Shuming picked up the black dog and the little monkey and took off, followed by Zhou Ziheng and Wu Ling'er.
Wang Xiaotian suddenly remembered the painful experience of being carried on his back by Meng Kan and bumping all the way, and hurriedly said to the woman: "You close your eyes." Let me know if you feel uncomfortable. ”
The woman answered. Wang Xiaotian ran two steps at this time, kicked hard, his body rose into the air, jumped hundreds of meters, and then jumped up again with a kick on a tree branch.
