Mosquitoes the size of fingernails hummed in the dark room. As their size increased, so did their appetite.
It has not drunk blood for a long time, and it is very thirsty.
I finally found a prey, and I was about to look for an opportunity to hit it with one hit, blasting my long needle into the flesh and sucking it to my heart's content, when I suddenly felt an icy chill, and my body was bound by an invisible force.
Even the flexible wings became heavy.
Danger!
Just when it was about to escape, a white light flashed, and it saw the half of the body floating down, which looked familiar.
Oh, that's my waist...
“I’ve lost some weight recently!”
This was the last thought in its mind, and then it lost consciousness.
The mosquito split into two, and the dog-legged knife floated silently in the air again, waiting for the next prey to arrive.
This is the air-bending technique that makes predators tremble with fear, using air to control swords and kill people from a distance.
After the Cataclysm, a large number of humans immigrated to Nova, and more humans could only survive in the wasteland.
Affected by nuclear radiation, vegetation grew wildly, and all animals mutated, becoming powerful and aggressive. Even extremely weak creatures like cats, mice, and mantises became extremely ferocious.
If you want to survive in such a world, you must have a strong body and strong self-preservation ability.
As a result, those ancient martial arts that had been abandoned by humans for thousands of years have regained strong vitality. Tai Chi, Baguazhang, "Five Animals", and "Ba Duan Jin" have all become national fitness programs, and some humans are using them by chance.
By coincidence, I obtained even more magical secrets of the exercises.
I heard that the humans on the new star are also practicing these ancient martial arts in order to control various powerful weapons and equipment across the vast sea of stars. Some are from family backgrounds, some are purchased with huge sums of money, and some are in order to obtain greater
Given the opportunity, various expedition teams will be sent to Blue Star to search for the ancient royal tombs.
After all, Blue Star is the birthplace of ancient martial arts. Although it is now ruined, countless immortal masters are buried in the thick soil of the sarcophagus.
Obviously, Phoenix is also one of the people who came to Blue Star to explore and find opportunities.
Thinking of Phoenix, Tang Bandit couldn't help but praise like this again:
Her skin is so white!
The technique practiced by Tang Bandit is called "Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Technique". This technique has nine levels in total. Every time a level is exceeded, the power of one dragon and one elephant will be increased. When the ninth level is reached, the miracle of Nine Dragons Enlightenment will appear. At that time
The practitioners will become extraordinary and immortal.
Of course, Tang Bandit suspected that this was the old man bragging.
After all, this technique was given to him by the old man, and now he has not even broken through the first level, let alone the 'arrogant and unreasonable' dragon-elephant power that the old man said...
Tang Bandit didn't sleep well tonight. He tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.
He was thinking about sleeping. The old man said that the eating he was talking about was not the eating he thought of, and the sleeping he was talking about was not his usual sleep...
They are both sleeping, so how big a difference can there be?
There is an old antique TV set at home, but due to electromagnetic storms, it has been unable to receive any signal. It has been idle for a long time, and the parts inside have become embroidered.
Instead, I found a few torn and worn magazines from under the old man's pillow that exuded a strong fish smell. The men and women in them were naked most of the time, but this couldn't quench my thirst, and I couldn't learn much useful knowledge.
, on the contrary, it makes people want to drink water even more after watching it...
"What kind of sleep does the old man mean by sleep?"
"Has he slept?"
"I've known for a long time that he was having an affair with Sister-in-law Cheng from the village. Sister-in-law Cheng looked at him like she was mixed with honey... The old man still doesn't want to admit it."
"I must let the old man explain clearly later..."

Tang Bandit was lying in the woods, manipulating the dog-leg head that cut wood like mud. Each cut was just right, neatly cutting off the excess parts of the wood or outlining regular grooves in it.
Tang Bandit carved the last piece of wood into a shape he was satisfied with, and blew on it to blow off the wood chips attached to it.
Then, he picked up the pile of strange-shaped wooden blocks between his crotch and began to assemble them. He moved quickly, with almost no need to think about it. The part where each piece of wood should be stuck was already deeply imprinted in his mind. Like the wind.
Fantasy, flowing clouds and flowing water.
Soon, a wooden bird appeared in his palm.
He twisted the spring at the end of the bird's butt, and the bird made a "crunch" and "crunch" sound.
When he felt that the time was right, he threw the bird into the sky. Driven by inertia, it flapped its two wooden wings and flew up.
Click, click, click!
One meter, two meters, three meters...
Climb upward step by step.
Just like a real bird.
Tang Bandit looked over expectantly, clenched his hands into fists, "Come on, come on..."
Suddenly, black smoke began to rise from the bird's buttocks, and flames soon burst into flames. Then, the wooden bird turned into a firebird and fell vertically to the ground. With a 'bang', it fell to pieces on the ground.
Tang Bandit sighed softly, it was still the same as before...
In order to make this little bird fly, he has made thousands of 'test flights'. Unfortunately, every time he failed.
"Of course, the progress is still obvious." Tang Bandit comforted himself in his heart.
At the beginning, the bird couldn't fly at all. As soon as it was thrown out, it fell vertically. The highest point it reached depended on how hard Tang Bandit could exert...
Then one meter, two meters, three meters, until now it can fly over the treetops of more than ten meters.
"It should still be a problem with the support strength of the wood..." Tang Bandit thought in his heart: "The clockwork is carved from wood. The higher it climbs, the more powerful the power source is needed, and the faster the clockwork rotates.
It came more and more rapidly, and the rotation became violent, causing friction and catching fire..."
"It would be great if steel could be used to make a clockwork. However, even if the clockwork is made of steel, if the body of the bird is still made of wood... wouldn't it be just making fire by drilling wood?"
"Unless the entire body of the bird is made of steel..."
Suddenly, the old man's mean face came to mind:
"You can't fly out of wood, but you still want to make steel. Are you dreaming?"
Disgusting guy!
"Brother!" Xiaopang's voice came over.
Tang Bandit turned around and saw Xiaopang walking over with the pale Phoenix.
Phoenix looked at himself with strange eyes, as if he had discovered some new continent.
She probably didn't expect that besides her handsome appearance, she was also versatile, right?
Mechanic, I heard is a very popular profession among Xinxing.
To become an excellent mechanic, you don’t have to worry about sleeping...
Hey, why do you think of sleeping again?
Damn old man!
Tang Bandit stared at Fenghuang with a vigilant face, thinking, this girl is not trying to take advantage of him, right?
I’m still young….
She thinks beautifully!
Tang Bandit looked at Fenghuang and asked, "Why did you come out? Are you feeling well?"
"Much better. After taking your medicine and drinking a bowl of broth, I felt much better when I woke up today... The scars on my body have also begun to heal." Fenghuang explained aloud.
Although she felt hopeless in this unfamiliar and unfamiliar land, the boy's concern made her feel warm.
It's such a strange feeling. In the past, when people were around her all day asking for help, she would just express her gratitude politely and even feel a little bored...
Sure enough, what a person lacks, he longs for.
On top of the ruins, if you can get even the slightest care, it will be a great comfort to you.
"Well, don't worry yet. There will be some itching when the wound heals, so don't scratch it with your hands... That's a normal reaction after applying snake bark sap."
"In a few days, scabs will form on the surface of the wound, and then when those scabs fall off naturally... your skin will return to its previous state, with no trace of injury visible at all, and it may even look worse than before.
It’s whiter and tenderer.”
"So magical?" Phoenix exclaimed in admiration.
On top of Xinxing, using the latest developed skin care products or medical beauty equipment can also remove scars and scars without leaving any traces of wounds.
However, on top of the ruins, Bandit Tang just chewed a few leaves and applied them to the wound, and it had the same effect.
Sure enough, after the catastrophe, there are treasures everywhere on the ruins, they just need you to dig out carefully.
"Of course." Tang Bandit nodded. "You can check again when you get back to see if there are any areas that have healed. If they haven't healed well, I'll give you some snakeskin sap to chew on and apply it on...
It will get better after a few times.”
Phoenix nodded and said, "It's okay. I know my body well, but I'm still a little weak."
"Yeah, it's okay." Tang Bandit said with a smile.
The better Phoenix's body recovers, the faster it will take to return to Xinxing, and the shorter it will take for him to get the rewards...
He has already imagined the scene where he drives a flying car and holds a pulse gun to hunt. He will be the most beautiful monster hunter on the planet.
Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit and said loudly: "I want to see where I fell."
"You want to see your escape pod, right?"
"Yes." Phoenix nodded and said, "If the communication equipment inside can still be used, I can contact my family directly and ask them to bring me the materials to thank you when they come to pick me up.
.... In this case, wouldn’t you feel more at ease?”
"Looking at what you said, what is there to worry about? From the first moment I saw you, I felt that you were a woman worth trusting."
Tang Bandit looked unconcerned and said, "However, it would be a good idea to contact your family. I also hope that you can reunite with your family as soon as possible... After all, this is not a place where a woman like you should stay."
Phoenix laughed and said, "Where should a woman like me stay?"
"You should stay in Xinxing, in a shining place." Tang Bandit said aloud.
Fenghuang gave Tang Bandi a meaningful look and said, "A boy like you might be loved by many noble ladies when he becomes a new star."
"Really?" Tang Bandit was overjoyed and asked, "What do they like about me?"
"..."
Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit's face that hadn't been washed for a long time and his long, sticky hair, and thought to himself that he must be crazy to say such unreasonable things...
"Be kind." Seeing that Tang Bandit was still staring at him with a look of expectation on his face, Fenghuang had no choice but to stiffen his hair and reply: "You still have courage."
"I still have good looks." Tang Bandit said: "I just don't have water to wash my face. If I wash my face, even I think I'm extremely good-looking."
"..."
Under the leadership of Tang Bandi, the three found the place where Phoenix fell yesterday.
Phoenix rushed to the rescue cabin, climbed in and immediately tried to start the main engine.
"The system is damaged and cannot be started!"
Tried again, the mechanical prompt tone of artificial intelligence still sounded:
"The system is damaged and cannot be started!"
"The system is damaged." Phoenix looked regretful. Although he had been mentally prepared for the worst, and such an outcome had been predicted, when the facts were laid before his eyes, he still felt uncontrollably sad.
She tried to find the communication equipment in the rescue cabin again, trying to use it to contact Xinxing, but she was equally disappointed: the communication equipment was seriously damaged and could not be located.
I can’t locate myself, let alone the rising star. How do I contact you?
"Can't contact me?" Tang Bandit stepped forward and asked.
Phoenix was sad, and so was he.
If Phoenix can't go back, he won't get the 'gratitude gift package' he deserves... What should he do?
Thinking of the pulse gun flying car and a ton of supplies that were leaving him, he felt even sadder than Phoenix.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are indeed the same.
"You've also seen..." Phoenix could sense this guy's eagerness to 'send' him off. He pointed at the rescue cabin control panel and explained: "Falled from a high altitude and was seriously damaged...
....The system cannot be started and the communication equipment cannot be located..."
"Is there any other contact method?" Tang Bandit asked.
Phoenix raised his arm to show off his holographic smart phone watch and said: "And this..."
"Then why...is it broken too?"
Phoenix nodded.
silence.
Deathly silence.
After a long while, Bandit Tang asked: "What are your plans next?"
"I plan to go back with you." Phoenix said.
This is the only option and the best option at the moment.
After all, this man is his savior. If he can save himself once, he can save himself a second time.
If you leave here, God knows what evil monsters you will encounter...
"What?" Tang Bandit was shocked.
In his plan with the old man, when the woman wakes up, she will be sent back to Xinxing immediately.
In this way, you don't have to bear any responsibilities, you save food, and you may get a lot of kind rewards...
She actually wants to go back with herself?
First, after returning home, there will be one more person to feed at home, and I will need to hunt more prey.
Second, her identity is unknown, and she was attacked and fell here. What if her enemies come after her? There is no friendship between them where they share blessings and share hardships.
Third, if she doesn't go back, when will she get the reward? If she can't go back for the rest of her life and follows him all the time, it will affect her hunting efficiency...
"Set your terms." Phoenix said, with a calm expression on his face.
She has basically mastered the communication skills with this guy. For him, any problem that can be solved with money is no problem.
