In the haze, Xiahou heard heavy breathing. Stars of various colors were flashing in front of his eyes, and he seemed to be able to hear faint human voices.
I suddenly opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was a strange four-legged beast very close at hand. It looked like a horse, with right angles behind its ears, scales on its back, and a thumb-sized thing under its belly. The pieces of curly hair are like cloud patterns, and the whole body is pitch black, except for the three inches on the hooves that are as red as blood. This strange 'horse' is one foot and five feet tall and about two feet long, with divine light shining in its eyes, and its muscles are like steel bars. , looks extremely handsome.
There was a finely crafted saddle on the horse's back, and a knight in compact black metal armor holding a two-foot-long sword was staring at Xiahou looking up and down.
Seeing Xia Hou wake up, the knight laughed a few times: "Interesting, this kid did not fall to death. Give me money, give me money. How many times have I told you, gambling is like fighting, only by taking the wrong side can you win." Win a lot. You all said he must have fallen to death, but I said he didn't fall to death. How can he survive?"
There were dozens of knights dressed in the same clothes and riding the same mounts beside him. They snorted at the same time and reluctantly took out a small money bag from the leather bag behind the saddle and threw it to the knight. This black-armored knight He looked up to the sky and smiled, casually hanging the long silk on the hook on the side of the saddle, and jumped off. He strode to Xiahou's side, the knight lowered his head and asked: "Barbarian boy, are you awake? I'll lend you my life." Da, I, Xingtian Dafeng, won a lot of money. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, please tell me."
Xia Hou was furious. These black-armored knights were well-equipped, and all their mounts, armors, and weapons were obviously of the same standard. They were clearly the regular army of a big force. But they all looked human-like but indifferent. , is there such a thing as betting on someone who is seriously injured and about to die?
After doing a sit-up and straightening his upper body, Xiahou shook his body slightly, slammed his right hand on the ground, and reconnected the dislocated joint. Then his right arm regained its function, and the joints of his left arm were restored one by one. A yellow light rushed out from the center of his eyebrows, and began to absorb the surrounding earthy energy to restore his injuries. In fact, there was no serious injury, but his internal organs were a little shaken. Under the nourishment of the earthy energy containing powerful vitality, It only took a few breaths to heal almost completely. As for the arrow wound on the leg, it was also sealed firmly by the earth's energy.
Xingtian Dafeng was stunned for a moment, then he bowed his hands towards Xiahou and said, "I don't know, brother, you are a Wuwu, so I'm presumptuous." He helped Xiahou get up diligently, and Xingtian Dafeng said with a smile on his face: "What do you call this brother? A native witch. Power is rare, and there are a lot of fire and wind-type ones." After saying that, a red light flashed slightly between Xingtian Dafeng's eyebrows, and a red fireball suddenly appeared on his hand.
Xiahou's heart trembled. He felt the powerful energy contained in the fireball, and based on experience, he had no doubt that the core of the fireball had a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees. This Xingtian Dafeng showed his hand a little, and it was obvious that he was stronger than Xiahou At least a hundred times deeper.
Looking around again, the weird Tyrannosaurus rex covered in scales that he saw before he fell into coma has all been lying on the ground. The scales on his body have been ripped off, and his head has been split open. I don't know what was taken from inside. The big blood hole was still bleeding out. Behind the saddles of several knights, there were rolls of thick skin with scales and circles of shiny things that looked like animal sinews.
Secretly surprised by the strength of these knights, Xiahou did not want to show his dissatisfaction. He just returned the favor and said, "I haven't passed my coming-of-age ceremony yet, Wuming."
Xingtian Dafeng and the others looked at me, and I looked at you, and were stunned for a moment. Xingtian Dafeng's eyes flashed, and an ugly smile appeared on his face: "It seems that in the wild south, one reaches adulthood at the age of twelve? This Brother, look at you, are you really not an adult yet?"
As he spoke, Xingtian Dafeng took off the animal skin jacket on Xiahou's upper body and found that he did not have a tattoo on his chest. Then he said with a surprised look on his face: "Sure enough, you are not an adult yet. Then, you should." Looking at Xia Hou who was only one fist shorter than himself, Xing Tian Dafeng asked him with a smile on his face: "Baby, how old are you this year?" As he spoke, he patted him affectionately with his palms wearing thick metal gloves. He touched Xiahou's head.
Xia Hou smiled bitterly and could only salute again: "There is still half a year before the coming-of-age ceremony can be held."
Blinking his eyes quickly a few times, Xing Tian Dafeng carefully looked at Xiahou up and down for a while, pinched Xiahou's protruding muscles with his fingers as if Bai was picking a pig in the village, and waved to his companion: "Aolong , come and see what this brother's strength is like. An underage kid actually has such strong witchcraft power, wow." The expression on Xing Tian Dafeng's face can easily be associated with words such as sinister, treacherous or profiteer. .
A man who was a full head taller than Xingtian Dafeng, but extremely thin, and did not wear armor. Instead, he wore a black cloak and floated down from the horse. A mysterious blue light flashed in his eyes. Two hazy blue lights swept up and down Xiahou's body for a while, and he said a little surprised: "This doll's witchcraft power is at the level of the fifth level, but his body has actually reached the level of above the sixth level."
With a look of looking at monsters, Ao Long murmured: "Brother, even among our young people, there are not many who are better than him. In such a barbaric area, if you want to create a fifth-level wizard or martial arts It’s a rare sight in a hundred years, but such a talent has emerged.”
Xing Tian Dafeng's eyes rolled around, and he patted Xia Hou's shoulder very affectionately: "Baby, which tribe are you from? Hahaha, who is your father? How about taking me to meet him?"
Xia Hou felt funny in his heart, but his heart felt warm. He seemed to have seen Yang Tou's ecstatic expression when he went to school to select candidates and found that the match between himself and Xuanwu's core reached 95%. Could it be that Xing Tian Dafeng thought that Don't you know his little plan? Didn't you just find a fifth-level Wuwu who has not yet reached adulthood, so you want to win over yourself as his subordinate? I have seen many such bridges in my previous life. .
At that moment, Xia Hou said seriously: "I am a member of the Chihu tribe, and my father is a Chihuxiu tribe. If you want to see my father, I am afraid you will have to wait a few days."
Xingtian Dafeng frowned: "How many days to wait? Normally it's okay, but this time we came out, it was." He turned his head and looked at the roll of thick leather behind his saddle, and pointed with his chin at Xiahou, who fell off He stood on the cliff and asked: "Chihu family doll, how did you fall down? Is there such a big hole in your leg?"
Just as Xiahou was about to answer, suddenly dozens of Yilang people rushed in from the entrance of the valley on one side. They roared loudly: "That kid from the Chihu tribe is still alive, kill him, kill him." Suddenly, these Yilang tribesmen rushed in. They closed their mouths because they saw that there were nearly a hundred knights in black armor in the valley, looking at them with murderous intent.
Xia Hou smiled: "Brother Xingtian, our Chihu tribe and the Yilang tribe started a war, and I was chased down by them. Fortunately, I was lucky and didn't fall to death."
Xingtian Dafeng's face showed a trace of cold murderous intent, and he roared in a low voice: "The war between you barbarians has nothing to do with us. Werewolves, get out of here wisely, otherwise, the tribe will be exterminated."
When the Yilang tribe heard Xingtian Dafeng's unkind words, they roared angrily. They thought that Xingtian Dafeng and the others were the helpers invited by the Chihu tribe. At that moment, they spat out obscene words in waves, and they didn't know how many. Ugly.
Xingtian Dafeng looked gloomy and waved his hand gently. A black-armored knight screamed sharply and sat down on his mount. It seemed like a black cloud rushed towards the group of barbarian werewolves. He waved the two-foot-long silk in his hand, The sky was full of piercing sounds, and hundreds of black cold lights enveloped all the Yilang tribesmen. This black-armored knight castrated extremely quickly. In just one breath, the Yilang tribesmen, including several fourth-level witch warriors, , all of them were assassinated by him, and every one of them had a bloody hole in their throat and heart, without exception.
Xiahou was stunned, what kind of strength is this? He killed dozens of Yilang people so easily without even letting them fire an arrow. Is this knight already a ninth-level witchcraft? What is the concept of a ninth-level witchcraft? What? According to Master Wu, that is a master who can destroy a small tribe in the wild land by one person.
"Ninth-level Wuwu?" Xia Hou murmured.
Xingtian Dafeng looked proud and said leisurely: "Ninth-level Wuwu? Baby of the Chihu family, when your horizons are broader in the future, you will know that the ninth-level Wuwu is just an entry-level level. In the truly powerful world, In front of the witch, the ninth-level witchcraft is nothing more than..." He looked down at the ground and saw a small beetle crawling across. He immediately stepped on it with his boot, trampling the beetle into a pulp. "The ninth-level witchcraft is nothing more than..." ?Hey, hey, hey, just like this beetle."
"Is it possible?" Xia Hou looked at Xing Tian in surprise. According to his calculations, if his true understanding of Xuanwu could reach the highest ninth level, his strength should be steadily better than the so-called ninth-level witchcraft. But Xing Tian Dafeng said Is it possible that the ninth-level Wu Wu is just an ant-like existence? But comparing some of the previous words of Wu Gong, it seems that this is also possible?
Xingtian Dafeng smiled and pointed at a symbol on his armor. On a palm-sized metal plate was a bronze three-legged round tripod. The appearance of the round tripod was incomparably similar to something in Xiahou's memory. similar.
Xia Hou was surprised and asked: "A tripod? What do you mean?"
Xingtian Dafeng smiled, his face full of treacherous pride, and he said leisurely: "Children of the Chihu family, do you want to know the meaning of this tripod? Do you want to learn the true method of witch cultivation? When you become an adult, Now that I have the ability to protect myself, I came to Anyi to find Xingtian Dafeng who was riding on the black horse." He held his hands tightly on Xiahou's shoulders and said in a strong voice: "You are a very good talent, from the Chihu family. Baby, do you want to waste your talents in this barbaric wilderness where only birds lay eggs?"
"Come to Anyi, I can't guarantee that you will get glory and wealth, but at least, I can make you gain the power that you can't have in the wild life." Xingtian Dafeng had a bit of arrogant aura coming out of him, and his hands tightened again.
Liao Jie: "Don't you think it's very exciting that you have the power to destroy a tribe at will?"
Xiahou took a breath, looked at Xing Tian Dafeng and said, "Power?"
Xingtian Dafeng nodded: "You have that talent, the child of the Chihu family. I will be very happy to have another elite warrior in my army, and you can also get the power you want."
Xia Hou asked him: "How strong will the strongest force be?"
Aolong next to him rolled his eyes and whispered in a sinister voice: "The strongest power? Don't think about it. The child of the Chihu family, the strongest legendary witch, can split the stars with just a raise of his hand. But now
There are no such powerful witches anymore." After a pause, Aolong's tone changed, and he smiled sadly: "However, it is still very common for witches to drive mountains and the moon, and move mountains and seas."
Is it common? Xia Hou's heart moved slightly. Although he was still dissatisfied with Xing Tian Dafeng and the others for betting with a dying man's life, the thought of gaining stronger power still controlled his whole heart. Maybe, with enough strength, he could
Find a way home? At least, with stronger power, you can better protect yourself and your family members in this life, so why not? Why not go to Anyi?
Anyi, as if someone was chanting this name deep in his soul, Xiahou's heart trembled and he said loudly: "Then, I will go to Anyi. When I have enough strength, I will go."
Xingtian Dafeng and all the black-armored knights laughed. Xingtian Dafeng took his sword and threw it to Xiahou. He laughed and said: "Okay, baby of the Chihu family, I will wait for you in Anyi. Your sword
Is it broken? That kind of thing is not worthy of you. I'll give you my 'Great Wind Sword' and treat him well."
Another knight took out a strange-shaped long bow and a pocket of steel arrowheads from the quiver behind the saddle and handed them to Xiahou: "My child of the Chihu family, I give you this dragon-skin bow."
Xingtian Dafeng got on his mount, looked at Xiahou and said, "Remember, Anyi?"
Xiahou nodded and said seriously: "Anyi, I remember the Xingtian Dafeng of the Black Army."
Xingtian Dafeng and others laughed and galloped away. Xiahou stood at the entrance of the valley, watching the nearly a hundred knights go away quietly. Suddenly he saw Xingtian Dafeng slap the horse and turn back. He rode his horse to Xiahou,
Xingtian Dafeng took out two money bags from his pocket and handed them to Xiahou: "When I went to Anyi, unlike you in the wilderness, there is no way to exchange goods in many places. You have to use money. These two bags of copper bears
The big money is enough for you to go to Anyi."
Chang Zhen gently touched Xia Hou's shoulder, and Xing Tian Dafeng looked at him with a smile: "Chihu family's baby, I originally wanted to take you away today, but you didn't hold a coming-of-age ceremony. According to the rules of your wild tribe, it's
You can't leave your hometown. So, when you become an adult, when you feel you have the strength to go to Anyi, come and find me." He looked up at the sun that was getting higher in the sky, pointed to the north and said: "Go north, Anyi.
The city is one hundred thousand miles away from here. Go north and you will find the way to Anyi."
One hundred thousand miles? Xiahou was shocked. Damn it, he knew that when people in this world talk about distance, they always mean straight-line distance. The straight-line distance is one hundred thousand miles. If it were the earth in the previous life, it could have circled the earth more than once. The distance here is
One mile is a little longer than one mile in the previous life. No wonder I have never heard of the name Anyi. How many caravans can travel from there to the wilderness for a hundred thousand miles?
"The north is a hundred thousand miles away?"
Xingtian Dafeng was stunned for a while, laughed, slapped the neck of his mount hard, and said with a smile: "Yes, the distance is a bit far. If the caravan goes back and forth, it won't be able to reach Anyi in just a few years. But we ride
Hei Si is here. Hei Si, who traveled thousands of miles a day, rested and played along the way, and it only took a month to get here."
After thinking for a while, Xingtian Dafeng still dismounted and handed the reins of the black horse to Xiahou: "When you go, ride my mount, otherwise it will be a big trouble for you to get to Anyi. It knows the way by itself.
You don’t need to worry too much.”
Xiahou took the reins generously and did not refuse. This was necessary, otherwise Xiahou would really go crazy if he had to ride a slow wildebeest alone for a hundred thousand miles to Anyi.
Xingtian Dafeng lifted up his long silk and the leather bag behind the saddle, and showed a strange smile on his face: "Baby of the Chihu family, don't blame us for betting with you. At the beginning, I didn't know you were Wu Wu. If
Knowing your identity as a witch, we came to treat you. But we thought you were an ordinary barbarian." After a pause, Xingtian Dafeng smiled and said: "Barbarians, or civilians, in the eyes of us witches, are dead.
One or two, it’s nothing. You will know later.”
Xiahou's face turned a little cold. He pointed at the killed Yilang people and said coldly: "There are also Wuwu among them."
Xing Tian Dafeng smiled: "But they don't have your talent. Besides, I met you first, so your enemies are my enemies, right?"
Xiahou was silent. Xingtian Dafeng smiled, nodded towards Xiahou, and said with a smile: "Anyi, I'll wait for you there." After saying that, he turned around and walked away with a long stride.
Xiahou was silent for a while, then suddenly shouted: "Anyi, where is that place?"
Xingtian Dafeng said without looking back: "The capital of Daxia, the residence of the king. I, Xingtian Dafeng, am the Hei Siwei of the Nine Lieutenants of the First Order, Three Divisions, and Nine Lieutenants directly under the king!"
Daxia, Anyi! These two familiar names made Xiahou almost faint.
He took out the big copper bear coin in the money bag and looked at it carefully. The copper coin was made of bronze and was about five centimeters in diameter. It was engraved with a lifelike pattern of a big bear slamming a big mountain. Behind it were several people Xiahou didn't recognize.
Weird tadpole text. The entire copper coin is exquisitely carved, and its surface seems to be coated with an anti-corrosion layer, reflecting a warm light in the sun.
"Daxia? Damn it, how could it be the Daxia I know? How could the Daxia Dynasty, which was still a primitive society, have such craftsmanship to make such copper coins? There were no one-yuan coins issued by China in the previous life.
With such a level of craftsmanship, do you want me to believe that this Daxia is the same Daxia?"
Xia Hou was cold all over. He looked up at the sun in the sky and let out a long breath.
"Anyi? Wait for me, Xingtian Dafeng, I will go. I will."
