Enveloped in a lavender halo, the instruments that had been built were returned to parts under the influence of time powers, and then quickly degraded into raw materials, making it impossible to see their original appearance.
Ji Xing gathered the scattered parts, looked up at his and Xiao Ai's laboratory, confirmed that there was no "black technology" for this era, clapped his hands and walked out of the laboratory.
The goals of One Piece World have basically been achieved. The next step is to let the bullets fly for a while and wait for the starlight to increase to five stars.
He is not in a hurry to get the profits and plans to stay in the pirate world for a few more years.
The technological legacy of Vegapunk and the Giant Kingdom still has more research value, and the deciphering of the bloodline factors has not yet been completed.
Just eating the demon fruit and experiencing physical changes has already benefited him a lot. He has a deeper understanding of the fusion and change of the two bloodline factors, and the main world has also gained something.
Even if he doesn't take the pirate profits for the time being, he should have a little more ability to protect himself.
And now, he is also facing a period of changes in the main world, and needs to invest more energy - he and Xiao Ai are going to move to one of the central human cities in the Demon Continent!
Four-star world, time ratio 180:1.
Ji Xing spent a total of less than six years in the pirate world, and about 12 days have passed here.
The walkie-talkie he 'invented' has once again attracted the hunter Yanqiu, and just today, he was about to follow Yanqiu to Zhongdu.
From the bedroom next door, Xiao Ai walked out with difficulty with a huge baggage in both hands. Ji Xing helped her carry it over in a funny way, weighed it and said: "This weighs more than 30 kilograms. I remember I was only pretending."
Two sets of changes of clothes, right? What, you put the wardrobe in?"
Xiao Ai rolled her eyes and refused to answer Ji Xing, who was teasing her knowingly. She then asked, "Has everything been tidied up in the laboratory?"
"Yes, I checked." Ji Xing said: "Let's take another look at this home. After all, we have lived here for more than two years, and we may not come back in the future. Sister Shengnan and the others just left home not long ago, and it will probably take ten minutes to walk to our place.
."
"There's nothing to see. Everything I need to bring has already been put in my bag." Xiao Ai said.
"Then let's go downstairs."
They went to the door and picked up another big bag. They locked the door and waited in the courtyard.
'Do you want to take a look at Xiao Chen Duo before leaving?' This thought flashed through Ji Xing's mind, and he shook his head secretly: 'Forget it, I won't go.'
After waiting for a while, a striking figure carrying a large package appeared on the street corner in the distance, followed by Hong Hong, a 13-year-old girl with a delicate face but a bit of a tomboy temperament after being trained by the hunter.
"Li He! Xiao Ai! Have you two been waiting for a long time?!" The signature loud voice appeared.
"Sister Shengnan, it's only been a few minutes!"
Because of his considerable improvement in strength and outstanding ability control during the two years since he became a numbered hunter candidate, Xu Shengnan happened to be going to work in Zhongdu and was awarded an official number, so he went with him.
Honghong, on the other hand, had successfully tested the lower-level hunter. She was a little genius and it would be more beneficial to go to Zhongdu to practice, so Xu Shengnan took her away with him.
After a year and a half, she will settle down there and then come back to pick up her father to live there.
The four of them gathered together. Xu Shengnan stretched out his hand and said, "I brought a lot of things. Sister, I'll help you get one."
"Thank you, Sister Shengnan." Ji Xing was polite and handed one of them to her.
Her hand sank and she weighed it unexpectedly: "This thing must weigh one hundred and eighty pounds."
"Xiao Ai and I need some tools for experiments, but I'm worried that Zhongdu doesn't have them."
"No, there's nothing over there. It's a huge city with a population of close to ten million, more than ten times that of our Jinhui City. You can't imagine it, right?"
Ji Xing smiled and said, "Have you seen Sister Sheng Nan before?"
Xu Shengnan glanced at him, then changed the subject and said, "But you do have some strength now. It wasn't too strenuous to lift it just now."
"I haven't relaxed my training in the past two years. I have persisted in everything you taught me, Sister Shengnan. That means I haven't passed the assessment, otherwise I might be able to get a lower-level hunter certificate." Ji Xing said.
"Pull him down. You have no practical skills at all. Hong Hong can beat you up with two punches." Xu Shengnan laughed and shook his head: "I taught you those things so that you can run faster when you encounter a monster. You must be careful
Don't... harm me, you have enough brains and you won't do stupid things. It's unnecessary for me to remind you. Come on, let's go, don't keep Lao Luo and Yan Shen Lie waiting for a long time."
She waved to call for the carriage, and Honghong beside her whispered: "How could I hit Senior Li He..."
"For example, let's use an analogy. Why do you still call this girl Senior Li He? I told you that he is not a hunter. There is no need to call him like that. Just call him brother." Xu Shengnan replied.
"Hee...I'm used to it."
"Hehe, where did you learn that Yin Yang Wei tune?"
"Learned it from Sister Xiaoai..."
The two chatted and laughed, and Ji Xing and Xiao Ai also looked at each other and smiled. There was a 15-year age difference between the two, and they got along like sisters and mother and daughter, which was quite interesting.
Soon, the four of them got on a spacious carriage and headed to the west gate of Jinhui City.
When they arrived, Luo Sheng, president of the Jinhui City Hunter Guild, and Shen Lie Yanqiu were already waiting there.
"Old Li." Luo Sheng shook his head and stepped forward to pat Ji Xing's shoulder, "Although I knew that with your scientific research talent, Jinhuicheng couldn't keep you, I didn't expect that you would leave with Shengnan. Really, I would have known earlier.
I won’t report Katsuo’s promotion to the main guild, and now I’ll be the only one left.”
"Okay, Lao Luo, you've said this to me twice, and also to Li He?" Xu Shengnan laughed loudly: "Don't say goodbye, bitch, it's not like we'll say goodbye forever. You've disliked me a lot in the past two years!"
Luo Sheng glanced at her: "I dislike you now too! Hahaha... Forget it, I will often write letters and contact you when I get to Zhongdu. It would be better if, Li He, you could invent a super long-range walkie-talkie. Then
We can be contacted at any time.”
Ji Xing smiled and said, "I'll try my best."
"Well, and Xiao Ai, don't blame me for always asking Li He to drink in the past two years. It's just a hobby." Luo Sheng turned around and said.
"If I complained, I wouldn't let him go." Xiao Ai smiled: "Goodbye, President Luo."
"Hahaha, Li He, your status at home doesn't seem to be very good..." Luo Sheng laughed: "Come on, come on, there's Honghong, let's take a group photo together before we leave! The same goes for Yan Shen Lie!"
"
The group of people paused for a moment. Ji Xing and Xu Shengnan looked at each other with strange expressions.
Luo Sheng was surprised: "What?"
"It's nothing." Xu Shengnan put the luggage on the ground and patted Luo Sheng on the shoulder: "Lao Luo, taking a group photo is not very auspicious."
She took out a photo from her pocket: "I found it when I was packing my things."
Luo Sheng took it and took a look. There were four people on the photo, Ji Xing, Xu Shengnan, Yanqiu and Honghong.
Judging from the red figure, this photo is obviously two or three years old, and there seems to be a fifth person in it, but it was cut out with scissors.
"This was the first time Xian Shen Lie came to Jinhui City to take pictures two and a half years ago." Xu Shengnan said: "The one who was picked out was Gong Linghui, old Gong."
"Oh, I know, the former president of the Jinhui City Hunters Guild." Luo Sheng suddenly realized: "The one who was replaced by the big demon and attacked Li He... Well, it does seem a bit unlucky to look at it this way."
Xu Shengnan smiled: "Actually, that's what I said. Do you believe this, Lao Luo? To put it more unlucky, won't the four of us be fine?"
"You also know it's unlucky!" Luo Sheng heard this and said disgustedly: "Bah, bah, bah! It's safe and smooth, and we will all be safe."
Yanqiu smiled and said in a soft voice: "There is really no need to believe this kind of thing, President Luo. Come on, let's take a group photo."
Just like more than two years ago, he was only 1.6 meters tall and stood at the front pulling Hong Hong, who was about to catch up with him. Xu Shengnan, who was already 2 meters tall, was in the back. Luo Sheng stood on the right, and Ji Xing pulled him.
Xiao Ai stood on the left. The camera faithfully recorded this scene. Luo Sheng said: "When it is developed, I will send it to you."
A few pleasantries and a few goodbyes.
We agreed to meet again and have a drink.
Whistle along the autumn line.
His giant eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters circled and flew over. After landing, a group of five people boarded the eagle, which, together with their luggage, was just enough to ride on.
A gentle spiritual power expanded, forming an invisible shield that enveloped the giant eagle. The five people said goodbye to Luo Sheng, and the giant eagle took off into the sky.
Jinhui City, where they had lived for more than two years, quickly became smaller and farther away, and they headed straight towards Zhongdu.
"If Li He Xiaoai and you weren't with me, I would probably be really sad." Xu Shengnan, who grew up in Jinhuicheng, said with rare emotion.
Ji Xing smiled and said: "Don't be like this, Sister Shengnan, we have just left. Lao Luo will be sad, and Uncle Xu will be sad too."
"Hahaha..." Xu Shengnan laughed: "My father has been urging me to get married all day long. He has long been annoyed by me and didn't come to see me off today."
She touched the giant eagle under her body and said, "Speaking of which, Yan Shen Xun's mount is really convenient. Li He, your airship is still too slow."
This spiritual eagle, which is equivalent to the thousand-digit numbered hunter level, is very fast, it should be more than three hundred kilometers per hour. If it were not for the protection of Yan Qiu's spiritual power, Xiao Ai and Hong Hong would not be able to ride on it.
Yan Qiu turned back and said: "Even if there is Zong Zang, it is still very far between Zhongdu and Jinhui City. I have not received any other missions on this return trip. It will take us about five days to arrive in a straight line, including the rest time.
Zhongdu.”
"Is it called Brown Brown?" Honghong asked.
Ji Xing is calculating the distance.
At 300 kilometers per hour, if you fly 12 hours a day, you have 3,600 kilometers. If you fly for five days, it is 18,000 kilometers.
This is only the distance between Jinhui City and Zhongdu. Taking into account the uninhabited wilderness and the vast ocean, the Demon Continent is much larger than the earth!
Gravity, calendar, etc. are exactly the same as the earth, which is a bit strange.
He and Xiao Ai looked at each other and understood each other's meaning tacitly, but they were not in a position to investigate this matter for the time being, so they quickly ignored it and joined Xu Shengnan's team of asking Yan Qiu.
After four questions and one answer, they gradually had a simple outline of Zhongdu in their minds.
…
Time passes, the sun rises and sets.
In the blink of an eye, they crossed mountains, forests and cities and completed the four-day voyage. On the morning of the fifth day, everything was packed and the spirit eagles had enough rest. They took off again for the final voyage and expected to arrive in Zhongdu tonight.
"Ha~ It's finally here." The initial excitement has turned into the same tiredness. Xu Shengnan can't wait, especially Honghong.
Ji Xing was not in the mood to respond. It was not because he was tired, but because he had a faint premonition that something was wrong since he got up this morning.
Ordinary people may not take premonitions seriously, but he is a strong man who has mastered the power of time and gained an instinctive sense of smell in a world of one person.
Something may be happening!
Is it because we are about to arrive in Zhongdu? That one of the largest cities in mankind has a way to identify monsters, so I will also be detected?
Or say something else...
Pretending to be drowsy, he lowered his head and listened with all his heart. When the premonition became stronger and stronger, he made a judgment in his heart.
This place is still far from Zhongdu.
Doesn’t it seem like the arrival was not so smooth?
Pretending to be drowsy, he nodded his head, murmured, and put his arms around Xiao Ai's shoulders: "We're almost there. I was a little excited last night and didn't sleep well. You, too, Xiao Ai, take a nap in my arms."
"
Xiaoai's eyes fluctuated slightly, she responded softly, and was taken into Ji Xing's arms.
The couple's actions made Xu Shengnan gasp: "You two... you have a child!"
Honghong smiled: "Hehe..."
"You're hehe." Xu Shengnan's strong forearms, which were over 20 centimeters in diameter, locked the little girl in his arms, "You should also take a nap!"
The little girl's face was distorted by the squeeze of her pectoralis major muscles, and she made a helpless expression towards Ji Xing.
In front of me, Yan Qiu turned around with a faint smile and looked at the two couples. She also missed her family a little. In a flash, she had been traveling for almost two months.
Just as his thoughts dispersed, his expression suddenly changed and he looked shocked.
"careful!"
The shout came out of his mouth. Xu Shengnan didn't realize what was going on. He only subconsciously hugged Honghong tighter, and then he felt a violent shock beneath his body, and Lingying let out a shrill scream!
唳——!!
She hugged Honghong and flew away, while the spiritual eagle that was supposed to carry them circled and fell!
What's going on? This is thousands of meters high in the sky!
She hurriedly looked for it and saw Li He not far away holding Xiao Ai tightly in his arms and falling with his eyes closed just like she and Hong Hong did.
Save them, they will fall to death!
Her spiritual power, which was still not huge, spurted out, trying to give herself a push, but at this moment, she suddenly felt her body light again.
"Hu~ along the divine hunt..."
Not far away, Yanqiu stretched out his hands, and the huge and gentle spiritual power lifted Lingying and the four of them, leading them to fall slowly.
"Is there a demon attack?!" she asked.
Yan Qiu nodded calmly and looked at Ling Ying Zang Zang, seeing a penetrating wound and bright red blood on its left wing.
'I dodged, but the attack was too fast, and my wings were injured... I don't blame Brown Brown, even I almost didn't react. Is it the speed, or... the demon god?!'
puff--
The five people and one eagle landed smoothly, and the spiritual eagle let out a slight mournful cry. Xu Shengnan immediately came to Ji Xing and Xiao Ai with Hong Hong in his arms.
"Is everything okay! Li He, Xiao Ai!"
"We're fine, Sister Shengnan." Ji Xing shook his head and said, "You take care of Honghong first."
But something might happen next!
The attack just now, if he hadn't made it in a subtle way, Ying would have been dead. The strength, speed, and Yanqiu are not on the same level! In perception, that guy is probably much stronger than Yanqiu!
And falling in front, Yan Qiu immediately looked for the direction of the attack.
This place is a wilderness and highland with yellow slopes. There are not many trees around, so the view is clear.
His sight easily spanned a few hundred meters and he saw an old man sitting on a large rock. He had gray hair and was tall. He looked like an ordinary person, about seventy years old, and had deep nasolabial wrinkles on his face.
, majestic and solemn.
Like a veteran cadre.
Yanqiu's pupils suddenly trembled, and his voice became hoarse: "It's actually you... Teacher Kong..."
"...Teacher?!" The tall Xu Shengnan also just caught that figure.
"Ah..." Yan Qiu said harshly: "Teacher Kong Yangzheng was the principal of the Zhongdu Hunter Guild School and guided me in my practice after I became a numbered hunter.
19 years ago, he died in an accident..."
"Death? It was indeed a demon..."
Xu Shengnan clenched his fists.
Yanqiu stretched out his hand to stop him: "No! Xu Shengnan, take Li He and the others to escape immediately! Teacher Kong Yangzheng was once an extremely powerful divine hunter!"
