Chapter 258: The Road Meets the Remnants
For a few days after leaving Jinshui Town, Zhang Xiao stayed by a remote forest stream, in a state of pranayama aura, until the injuries on his body were almost healed, and he didn't know how long it had been.
Zhang Xiao stood up and stretched the joints of his body, and found that except for some pain in his chest, the other parts had returned to normal, but he would definitely not be able to beat an opponent like the mushroom demon again, but as long as he didn't meet a cultivator, there should be no problem in dealing with others.
Zhang Xiao looked at his arm and found that the little sheep was no longer by his side at this time, and he didn't know where it went, and it would encounter danger at any time in this war-torn area, so Zhang Xiao shouted loudly: "Little sheep, little sheep, where are you? Come out quickly, we are leaving." ”
The lamb heard Zhang Xiao's call, and immediately responded, making a loud sheep cry to attract Zhang Xiao's attention, Zhang Xiao was checking the traces of the lamb nearby, and after hearing the lamb's call, he hurriedly followed the sound and found that the lamb was in a hollow at this time, which was full of animal fur and bones.
Zhang Xiao was a little blinded when he saw this situation, it seems that during the period of his pranayama, the lamb hunted around on his own, which was normal, but it was very abnormal for the lamb that had been brought up by Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao knew from the beginning that the blind dragon was an extremely ferocious monster, and if it was provided with meat as food, it was likely to lead to its nature, which could bring great disaster in a crowded city, so it has always used vegetables and soil as its food, although it is indeed hungry, but it is very effective to make it honestly entangled in his hands, and has not done anything out of the ordinary.
But after the battle of Jinshui Town, it seems to have had a bad impact on the little sheep, the little sheep feels his own weakness, the desire for food, the desire for strength, the king of monsters is chased into serious injuries is intolerable in the bones, so the nature gradually recovers in the body of the little sheep.
Since Zhang Xiao's pranayama began, there are all kinds of different animals passing by, and the lamb looked at it and slowly aroused the wildness in his heart, although Zhang Xiao has never taught the lamb any hunting skills, and the lamb's physique is not even comparable to the hunting dog, but it has successfully killed a large number of prey with the advantage of early hatching.
Zhang Xiao looked at the various wrecks in the hollow, the number must have exceeded ten, so he immediately took the lamb out and found that there were no scars or blood on its body, as if it had nothing to do with these wreckage.
But even if the lamb is clean, Zhang Xiao also knows that these are caused by it, in order to strictly restrain it and prevent its wildness from continuing to wake up, the only way Zhang Xiao can use is to educate more, so he shook the lamb vigorously for a while, and said righteously: "Little lamb, didn't you say that you can't eat meat? Even if you starve to death, you can't eat these, you must remember, even if I am pranayama, I have to stay on me, don't run around, hear no." ”
The lamb was hatched by Zhang Xiao's aura, so he fully understood what Zhang Xiao said, and suddenly let out a somewhat lost cry, as if admitting his mistake, Zhang Xiao has always loved the lamb, and when he saw that it had the intention of repenting, he didn't do much, wrapped it around his arm, and then threw out a ball of aura to dissolve all the wreckage on the ground.
After the lamb was entangled in Zhang Xiao's hand, it became honest again, and there was no movement at all, but Zhang Xiao was still a little uneasy at this time, if he had time in the future, he must find a way to find someone who understood the blind dragon to train the lamb to suppress its ferocious nature.
Zhang Xiao was ready to set off and continued on the road, heading in the direction of Beiyuan County, but he was the only one left, from Xuchang to here, he had always been acting with a large army, and now he was not used to it.
Zhang Xiao walked out of the mountains and forests not long ago, and came to an avenue, at this time, the scorching sun exposed the earth, which made Zhang Xiao's mood even heavier, it was already autumn and there was such a big sun, as if God was lamenting the cruelty of war.
Although Zhang Xiao's mood was very bad, it was not caused by the scorching sun, but he felt that he was getting closer and closer to Beiyuan County, could he really defeat Yuan Li in his current state? Its current strength should be about the same as that of the mushroom demon, and he would go to the door alone, what is the difference between sending him to death? Moreover, he is still injured, and if he does not spend some time meditating and cultivating, he will not be healed.
Zhang Xiao was walking on this infinitely extending avenue, and suddenly felt that the ground began to shake, judging from his current experience, this is a large number of cavalry troops rushing here, but from the perspective of the area, it should be his own cavalry, but for the sake of caution, Zhang Xiao still hid to the side, lying on a high place of weeds.
Not long after, a cavalry team appeared in front of Zhang Xiao, and Zhang Xiao was excited in an instant, and he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance so soon, so he got up and shouted: "Hao Zhong, Zou Tao, I'm here, I'm here." ”
This cavalry team is a two-hundred-person cavalry team led by Hao Zhong and Zou Tao, who escaped from Xinye, and Hao Zhong and Zou Tao immediately stopped their horses after hearing Zhang Xiao's voice, and soon found him, they were also very excited, it is a very celebratory thing to meet their companions, and now there are more important troubles that Zhang Xiao needs to solve.
Although Zhang Xiao was happy, he was also very puzzled, because Hao Zhong was now heading towards Xinye, so he would meet him here, and this situation was very abnormal, so he asked: "Why are you here? Isn't this direction heading to Xinye? If you ride in the direction you came, you should have returned to the rear camp long ago." ”
Hao Zhong hurriedly came to Zhang Xiao and replied: "You are right, but there are variables in the small village in front, I heard when I was in Xinye City that your vanguard encountered a sneak attack by the straw man, and we also encountered it there, fortunately we were not intimidated by psychological preparation, but the immortal cultivator who drove the straw man did not allow us to pass, so we had no choice but to return, and the terrain here is not suitable for riding, so we decided to take a detour to leave." ”
Zhang Xiao knew that it was Mr. Zhu as soon as he heard it, it turned out that he was here, and he was suddenly full of anger and burned again, the reason why Zhang Xiao died here was the prelude to Mr. Zhu's opening, if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have been separated, otherwise when facing Yuan Li, he must be with Zhang Yao, although Zhang Yao alone is not Yuan Li's opponent, but the two of them are not easy to say.
So the hatred in Zhang Xiao's heart rose again, since Mr. Zhu took the initiative to come to the door, he would not let him go easily, even if everyone belonged to the earth immortal lineage, even if he was kind enough to persuade himself not to approach Xinye, but it didn't matter, he must be killed to pay tribute to Zhang Xiao's spirit in the sky.
Zhang Xiao immediately said indignantly: "You don't have to make a detour anymore, I'll go and meet him, and after fighting with him a few times, it's time to make an end." ”
It would naturally be best to have Zhang Xiao take the lead, but Hao Zhong only saw Zhang Xiao alone, and he didn't know how Zhang Xiao was doing now, so he asked: "Guard Zhang, why don't you see Zhang Xiao's guard, hasn't she been acting with you all the time?" And have you seen Ji Yi on the way, Ji Yi went out of the city to cover us, and now I don't know what the situation is. ”
Zhang Xiao became even more angry when he heard this, none of his acquaintances had a good end, and replied: "Zhang Yao? Zhang Xiao has been killed in Xinye and turned into a part of the ashes of Xinye, and Ji Yi I met it, but he also died with Gao Zhan in Jinshui Town, and his team was also destroyed. ”
Hao Zhong and Zou Tao were very ashamed after hearing this, their hearts were full of apologies to Zhang Xiao and Ji Yi, they shouldn't have mentioned his sadness in front of Zhang Xiao, and they were also sorry for Ji Yi, if he hadn't stayed and broken, so many of them would definitely not be able to leave Xinye safely.
Hao Zhong wanted to comfort Zhang Xiao very much, but felt that Zhang Xiao should not die so easily as an immortal cultivator, so he asked curiously: "Guard Zhang asks you to mourn and change, but Guard Zhang is so powerful, who killed her? Could it be the immortal cultivator we met?"
When Zhang Xiao heard this, he felt that his whole body was in anger, and said hatefully: "It's Yuan Li, why didn't I think that it would be my own people who killed my cousin, if I found out earlier, such a thing could have been avoided." ”
