Chapter 637: Everyone is Six
A huge convoy was trudging along the muddy country road.
The sleepy Xu Cheng sat on the top of the dragon carriage, leaning against piles of luggage, squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the scenery in the distance.
At this moment, a full year and a half had passed since he said goodbye to Caroline and left Sauron's capital.
For the past year and a half, he has been traveling from Solon to Arnold.
This world is much larger than the earth in later generations. Sauron's land area is equivalent to Ukraine, and Sauron is only one of more than a dozen kingdoms protected by the Shadow Goddess. There are countless gods like her.
Xu Cheng occasionally used his meager knowledge to calculate the circumference of the earth through the sun, and found that the planet under his feet was at least dozens of times larger than the earth in later generations.
It can be seen from this that how much land those gods have dug away from the earth are simply a group of ruthless excavators.
This stop-and-go journey allowed Xu Cheng to see the sights and sounds of different parts of the world, and he even made quite a name for himself.
Along the way from Sauron to Arnold, many people have been praising a righteous man who is willing to help others without expecting anything in return.
For example, the current convoy relies on Xu Cheng to dare to walk in the wasteland full of robbers and monsters.
Xu Cheng dozed off in the sun on the roof of the car. After an unknown amount of time, he realized that the motorcade had stopped.
"Lord Locke."
A guard of the convoy came under the dragon carriage, raised his head and shouted respectfully: "We have entered Arnold's border."
Xu Cheng opened his eyes, picked up his meager luggage, turned over and jumped off the train.
The demon did not confess its true purpose, but simply asked Xu Cheng to go to Arnold to find a god of life and pray to the god to resurrect his wife Susan.
This should be a script belonging to God Killer Locke, but unfortunately it was interfered with by Xu Cheng. Now the devil can only ask him to go to Arnold through cooperation.
If you want to resurrect the dead, the Shadow Goddess who protects Sauron can do it. After all, she also works part-time as the Goddess of Death, but the Shadow Goddess is not a helpful deity and rarely shows up.
On the other hand, the God of Life is known to be helpful to others, and only needs to complete a few trials to be qualified to make a wish to the God.
Of course, the above are all explanations given by the devil to Xu Cheng, but Xu Cheng believed that there must be something special about this God of Life that would cause the devil to ask him to come all the way here.
Soon, the owner of the motorcade had gathered here with a group of subordinates, preparing to say goodbye to Xu Cheng.
The two parties have been traveling together for half a year, and finally they are about to separate at this moment. The convoy is going to Arnold's royal capital, while Xu Cheng is going to the divine court of the God of Life.
"Locke, if you have the chance, you must come to the capital to find us."
The owner of the motorcade was an old man. He held Xu Cheng's hand tightly and his tone was full of sincerity.
The old man's family had several beautiful daughters who were in their prime. They were always trying to lure Xu Cheng back to him as his son-in-law, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful.
Although Xu Cheng's origin is unknown, in this world, strong power is the hardest currency, which is more important than money, power and bloodline.
"Let's talk about it when we have time."
Xu Cheng casually said that if he was a local, it would be a good idea to be his son-in-law. After all, the old man had already hinted that he would hand over all the family property to him in the future.
Unfortunately, there was still a promising job as a God Killer waiting for him, so he could only reluctantly decline it.
After saying goodbye to the old man, another young woman wearing armor and stomach walked up to Xu Cheng.
This woman is the old man's niece and the captain of the escort team. Although she is dusty, her natural beauty cannot be concealed.
Regardless of everyone present, she came up and gave Xu Cheng a tight hug. She had a good impression of Xu Cheng, and anyone who was not blind could see it.
The reason is a long story. To describe it in one sentence, it is just a cliche story about a hero saving a beauty.
The main reason is that Xu Cheng is handsome enough. After reconciling with the devil, the devilish characteristics on his body, including the two horns on his head, have disappeared, and he looks like a pure human being.
It's a pity that Xu Cheng has to maintain the character of Locke as a good man, otherwise he would have been sown everywhere in the past year and a half.
"I……"
The female captain bit her lower lip as if she was about to make a decision.
Xu Cheng predicted what she was going to say and quickly pushed her away: "Goodbye!"
After that, he hurriedly rode on the horse given to him by the team, slapped the horse's butt hard, and drove away.
Along the way, he rejected more than twenty women who wanted to run with him, and he was already familiar with the journey.
Seeing Xu Cheng crawling away, the female captain was angry and amused, her eyes fixed on his disappearing back, and she soon became melancholy.
…
After saying goodbye to the motorcade, Xu Cheng rode horseback in the vast wilderness and was in a good mood.
After reconciling with the devil, his bad luck this year seemed to have come to an end, and his luck had returned to the level of ordinary people.
But this is by no means the life of a Godslayer.
Xu Cheng could imagine that the God Killer who did not save Omar and Caroline must have been immersed in the extreme pain of accidentally killing his wife and lover all day long, living like a walking zombie.
It was Xu Cheng who changed this extremely tragic fate, so he can maintain a good mood now.
He didn't stop too much on the way, and followed the route he had inquired about before, and rushed to the Divine Court of the God of Life.
Half a month later, Xu Cheng killed several horses in a row before finally reaching his destination, the God of Life's divine court in Arnold.
It is said to be a divine court, but it is actually a forest covering an area equivalent to a small country. Under the influence of divine power, the plants here cover the sky and the sun, just like the dinosaur era of the Jurassic. There are a large number of mutant creatures living in the forest.
Xu Cheng abandoned his horse and entered the divine court on foot.
The vitality in the forest is extremely strong, but it is a desperate situation that ordinary people cannot enter.
With Xu Cheng's current strength, it took him nearly a month of Bei Ye's cross-country survival before he finally passed through the dense forest and arrived at the residence of the God of Life.
What comes into view is a towering green mountain peak. At the foot of the mountain is a road up the mountain, and halfway up the mountain, a majestic palace is vaguely visible.
Before entering, Xu Cheng had collected various information about the God of Life and knew that this palace was not the residence of the God of Life, but belonged to his believers.
If you want to see the God of Life, you must first arrive at the palace and pass the test left by the God of Life.
After Xu Cheng rested for a while, he started climbing along the mountain road.
The mountain road is extremely steep, and is full of cliffs, cliffs, thorns, falling rocks and other dangers. It is obviously to prevent those who are not strong enough to climb up. Bodies of accidental deaths can be seen everywhere along the way.
After spending half a day, Xu Cheng finally climbed to the palace halfway up the mountain - neither he nor the devil wanted to reveal their identity, so the power he displayed was equivalent to a fourth-level powerful person.
The grand palace gate has not been opened, but many people have gathered in front of the gate.
The three travellers, two men and one woman, who looked like they were tired of traveling, must be strangers to each other, and they all stood far away from each other.
On the other side, there is a tent. There are four armed guards outside the tent. Inside the tent, a man and a woman are drinking and having fun, and there are several servants around who are sorting supplies.
Xu Cheng was shocked that there was such a huge pomp and the way up the mountain was so dangerous, yet so many supplies could be carried up.
"Hello, my name is Locke."
Xu Cheng was not afraid of society, so he took the initiative to communicate with a male traveler who seemed easy to talk to.
"My name is Luo Yin."
The young man named Luo Yin responded with a smile: "Are you also here to make a wish to the God of Life?"
"Then it depends on whether this god is willing to give me this opportunity."
"Haha, what you say is really interesting."
Xu Cheng got close to Luo Yintao and quickly figured out the situation here.
The three travelers, like Xu Cheng, all came to seek the opportunity to make a wish from the God of Life, and the young man with the guards and women in great ostentation was the prince of a certain country.
I heard that it was for the sick king that he came all the way from abroad. In order to bring these supplies to the mountain, he even lost several guards along the way.
The woman who accompanied the prince was a female adventurer who came to the divine court alone. With her beautiful face and sexy figure, she hooked up with the prince.
"Bah, despicable."
Xu Cheng and Luo Yin cursed in unison, and then they looked at each other and felt that they were close friends.
Everyone waited outside the palace gate for two days and two nights, during which the gate was never opened.
The prince was enjoying the steaming food and the frail female adventurer in the tent, while Xu Cheng and three other competitors were starving outside.
This situation lasted until the morning of the third day, when the palace door finally slowly opened, and a believer in the God of Life walked out.
The prince also came out of the tent, with a good appearance and good strength. He was also a fourth-level powerful person.
The believers of the God of Life did not care whether they were poor people or princes below. They announced arrogantly: "The content of this month's trial is to hunt down the two-headed dragon that lives in the forest. The great Lord of Life only accepts two people this month."
Brave man, therefore, whoever can bring back the head of the two-headed dragon will be qualified to meet the Lord of Life."
"Your Mightiness!"
Just when the life believer was about to go back, Luo Yin hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, where is the specific location of the two-headed dragon?"
The life believer glanced at him: "There is an Orion under the Divine Court, and he knows the habitat of the two-headed dragon."
Before he finished speaking, the other two travelers had already turned around and rushed toward the foot of the mountain, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Xu Cheng and Luo Yin also quickly followed.
Only the prince did not hesitate and ordered the guards and servants to pack their things.
"Your Highness."
The female adventurer hugged the prince's arm and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? Others have rushed ahead of you."
"No hurries?"
The prince hugged the woman's slender waist with force: "Whether it is a two-headed dragon or the qualification to meet the gods, they should all belong to me. How can a lowly poor man get his hands on something that belongs to me?"
On the other side, Luo Yin and Xu Cheng both caught up with the two guys who jumped the gun. All four of them were fourth-level power users, and no one was slower than the other.
Not long after, the four of them arrived at the foot of the mountain and found the hunter's cabin hidden in the forest.
When the four of them rushed into the hunter's cabin, what they saw was a long-decomposed corpse.
The only woman among the four, regardless of the stench of the body, went directly to check it, and then concluded: "He died ten days ago."
Luo Yin immediately walked out of the hut and returned soon: "There are many messy and heavy footprints outside the house, made by people wearing armor and stomach."
The answer instantly appeared in the minds of the four of them - the prince found the hunter in advance, forced him to find out the specific location of the two-headed dragon from the hunter's mouth, and then killed it directly to avoid future troubles.
No wonder he didn't panic just now. I'm afraid he's already laughing at the four people for running in vain.
"Never mind how that damn prince knew the content of the trial in advance!"
The woman gritted her teeth and looked at Xu Cheng and the others: "What should we do now?"
"Let's join forces."
Another man suppressed his anger and suggested: "Eliminate the other party first, find the two-headed dragon, and then we can compete among ourselves."
Xu Cheng and Luo Yin looked at each other and agreed to the proposal.
The four of them introduced each other. The woman who inspected the body was named Charlene, and the man who proposed an alliance was named Eugene.
Charlene frowned and said, "How should we find each other's whereabouts next?"
"give it to me."
Luo Yin patted his chest and promised: "I happen to have tracking skills. No matter where the other party escapes, I guarantee to catch them."
Xu Cheng didn't express any opinions during the whole process and just acted like a tool who could only nod.
The four people immediately left the hunter's cabin and returned to the mountain. Under the leadership of Luo Yin, they pursued the whereabouts of the prince and his group.
Luo Yin was indeed not bragging. In less than half a day, he found the prince and his party in the forest.
However, the four of them did not act rashly, but followed them from a distance - the prince himself was a fourth-level powerful person, and none of his guards were weak, so the outcome of the fight was unknown.
At Eugene's suggestion, the four of them decided to follow them to the habitat of the two-headed dragon first.
"Your Highness, the four people behind are catching up."
Hearing the guard's report, the prince was not surprised at all. He waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about them. This is also part of the king's calculation. When the time comes, they will be caught in one fell swoop."
Stars popped up in the female adventurer's eyes, and she looked at him with admiration as he scolded Fang Qiu.
As night fell, the prince and his party set up camp in the forest, while Xu Cheng and four others followed behind, hiding in the grass to feed mosquitoes.
"Unbearable."
Late at night, Eugene, who couldn't stand the mosquitoes anymore, got up and left: "I'm going to find a place to sleep without mosquitoes and come back at dawn."
After Eugene left, Charlene disappeared without saying a word.
"We agreed to join forces, but why are both of us deserting?"
Luo Yin complained, but also stood up and said to Xu Cheng: "I need to find a place to take a bath, do you want to come with me?"
Xu Cheng shook his head and refused, then watched Luo Yin leave as well.
I'm afraid these people don't think of him as a fool. They are all old men with more evil eyes than their own.
Early the next morning, a scream woke up Xu Cheng who was sleeping in a tree. He immediately rushed in the direction of the scream and saw the female adventurer rushing out of the tent covered in blood.
