Goshawks spread their wings across the clear sky, and the waterfalls in the mountains are like hanging white cliffs, and the sound of the water is deafening.
The burly and majestic man is shirtless, with strong and clear lines on his back. He stands tall in the raging current, like a rock separating a waterfall.
The big red tiger with wings was entrenched on the wet mossy boulder, licking its paws and squinting its eyes.
But he saw Lu Bu's back, as fierce as a ghost, tightly grasping Fang Tian's painted halberd, suddenly swung it round, and swept out a halberd that was as powerful as a thousand enemies.
Arc light flashed.
The waterfall looked like it was in vain, as if someone had suddenly cut it open with scissors.
boom!!
The lower half of the waterfall stagnated in the air for a moment, then suddenly fell, hitting Lu Bu's head, causing a huge splash of white water that resounded throughout the valley.
Lu Bu's hair was soaked and he turned his head slightly, his tiger eyes hiding sharp edges.
That day in front of Hulao Pass, I was defeated by the strong man named "Lin Xiao".
Manpower is exhausted, and it is not shameful to lose at his hands.
But what confused me was that the soldier master was not willing to let me continue fighting with Lin Xiao.
It seemed like he had suspicions about me, but also seemed like he was troubled by Lin Xiao.
Lu Bu snorted coldly in his heart: "Can a great military commander also have concerns about human beings?"
There was another thing that made Marquis Wen a little concerned.
The female general holding Fang Tian's painted halberd.
If she is really my descendant.
Then, my only daughter may die happily in troubled times...
A touch of tenderness flashed in Marquis Wen's eyes, and he shook his head gently, returning to normal.
Slowly walked ashore, wearing armor and helmet.
From the cliff above, a vicious roar came from the air.
The roar was like that of a wolf dog. Lu Bu raised his head and saw a ferocious wild boar-like beast slowly appearing, looking down from above, its two fangs glowing with cold light.
"The defeated general."
The ferocious wild boar-like beast spoke human words, its voice was low, and its blood-red eyes were filled with contempt:
"To be punished."
Lu Bu's eyes suddenly had murderous intent, his face was as calm as an ancient well, and he clutched Fang Tian's painted halberd tightly.
"梼杌, what do you mean?" Qiongqi asked.
Yaozao looked down at the silent Lu Fengxian and said ferociously:
"It's certainly understandable that you lost to that human."
"But after your defeat, not only did you not fight to the point of death, you even escaped back here."
"Afraid of life, afraid of death, weak and cowardly, and arrogantly acting as the envoy of the military master!"
Lu Bu's tiger eyes were as usual, and he stood with a halberd in his hand, as if he was talking about someone unrelated to him.
"It should be said that you are worthy of being the human being chosen by Qiongqi." Yongzhudao squinted: "Even Tian's shameless character is exactly the same."
Qiongqi is among the four evil beasts, the one closest to humans.
It makes friends with evil people, and sometimes even helps good people get rid of ghosts. It is a capricious and big tiger that is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
But Yongzhu's character is like a wooden stake or a big stone, stubborn and stubborn, believing in dead principles, and rushing forward blindly like a wild boar.
For Yaozhu, war has only two consequences: life or death, and running away is simply an act of cowardice.
Either burn the cauldron or sink the ship, or be defeated and die.
Escape? That is not what the "Chi You Envoy" should do!
Yaozhu's words were not sarcastic, but merely expressed his true views on the defeated general, but they were like a sharp arrow piercing Qiongqi's heart.
Qiongqi roared and rushed towards Yaozhu. The two monster beasts, the flying tiger and the giant pig, bit each other.
The sky clouds changed color, the wind roared, and the tornado carried thunder and rolled toward the river.
Yongzhu's body was blood red, and his two pig teeth swelled in size, like a bulldozer, walking straight through the storm, and the fangs 'puff' penetrated two bloody holes in Qiongqi's body.
Qiongqi let out a cry, grabbed the Tao Tzu with two sharp claws, flapped half of its wings, and tried to pull the Tao Tzu high into the air.
Fierce beasts are inherently aggressive and aggressive creatures, and Chi You never prohibited his men from competing with each other, and was even happy to see bloody fights.
The names of the four ferocious beasts are not because of their noble birth, but because they competed in bloody battles!
The momentum of the two fighting each other stirred up the sky, and suddenly, a low shout from Lu Bu came:
"Enough!"
Qiongqi stopped first and flew back to Wen Hou, glaring at Yaozhu angrily.
Yaozhao's eyes were stained with blood, and he stared at Qiongqi and Lu Bu, his attitude still stubborn:
"It is not a shame for a defeated general to die, but he still has the nerve to come back and meet my lord!"
Lu Bu swept his eyebrows with his sword, his tiger eyes widened, and he held Fang Tian's painted halberd tightly in his right palm, but in the end he did not make a move with the halberd.
In 194 AD, Dong Zhuo fell and the heroes were divided. Lu Bu led the exile forces and moved among the major princes.
Although Lu Bu is an unparalleled general, he must take into account the safety of those around him and shoulder the responsibilities of the lord.
Therefore, fleeing was a helpless move for Lu Bu.
In front of Hulao Pass, a halberd swings open three heroes, which is unparalleled in the world.
But when he became the lord, Lu Bu was already over forty years old. He had a loving wife and only daughter, and had no desire to dominate the world. He only wanted a corner of peace in troubled times.
But he was caught between Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and other current heroes, and the army was hunted down and fled.
Even if there are ten thousand enemies, they are unable to fight against the huge army.
If he didn't stab Liu Bei in the back, marry Yuan Shu, and escape into exile, how would he be able to face the encirclement and suppression?
Marquis Wen's spirit seemed narrow compared to the mighty Overlord.
But in terms of what Marquis Wen has more than an overlord, it is the forbearance of a man who can bend and stretch, who can "live under others for a long time" and "find opportunities to backstab".
"You don't need to say anything."
Lu Bu looked at Tao Zhu with majestic eyes and said in a low voice:
"Since I have issued a military order, one day I will bring Lin Xiao back to see the military commander."
Yaozhu was a stubborn man, he grunted twice, turned around and said:
"My Lord was deceived by Qiongqi. If 'he' was here, there would be no need to summon you..."
Yao Zhu's figure gradually moved away.
Qiongqi whispered: "Marquis Wen and the other three ferocious beasts will also choose their favorite envoys."
"The Lord of War is one of the ancestors of mankind in Central Continent. He needs humans to exert his true power." Qiongqi explained.
"Yeah……"
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Chi You's suspicion and Yaozhu's provocation made Marquis Wen dissatisfied.
Lu Bu thought to himself...Although Chi You was given the "Five Soldiers", the real purpose of the soldier master is to use me, and I cannot leave my life and property in his hands.
Only by continuing to strengthen our strength can we survive in this troubled world.
Now I need to find out whether I will survive after Chi You dies.
And who are the other messengers He summoned?
If I understand these things, even if I leave Chi You, I can gain both fame and fortune in this world.
Lu Bu's heart trembled.
"A man born in heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time?"
…
Star Map City, investigation team.
Beside the rosewood table and on the large boss chair, a thin red-haired woman in a white shirt was reviewing documents.
After Lin Xiao went to Central Continent, Margaret, also known as "Mamen", continued to expand the power of the investigation team in the federation.
As the god of greed who instigates humans to fight for greed, he also has the identity of the leader of the investigation team.
During the period when Roman disappeared and the acting president took over, her power was still expanding, and her hands and eyes were all over the place.
Margaret also had some eyes and ears in Central Continent, and through the investigation team, she was provided with information about Lin Xiao.
It’s just that Margaret didn’t tell Lin Xiao about this.
She was accustomed to and willing to maintain this mode of paying attention to Lin Xiao behind the scenes.
Although the identities have been changed now, Lin Xiao can be said to be his immediate boss.
But as a subordinate, it is reasonable to care about your boss.
"Strangle the ghost car bird, and be invited to meet the Seven Stars to jointly defeat the Four Evils of Central Continent..."
Margaret closed the document and said to herself: "He is really active in Middle-earth."
Since Lin Xiao's contract with the Seven Deadly Sins Demon God, the situation in the Federation has generally returned to stability.
The business of Solomon Winery is also booming due to Margaret's management and the unremitting work of the devils.
A few days ago, Lin Xiao took Behemoth away from Solomon Winery, which attracted Margaret's attention.
Behemoth needs to take action... To think about it, he ran into trouble during the battle against the Four Evils in Central Continent.
Thinking of this, Margaret's eyes flashed slightly.
Lin Xiao disdained using the method of "Noah's Ark" to escape the end of the world.
If the end of the world is inevitable, the wealth I have accumulated will be meaningless.
Therefore, it is better to invest your wealth in Lin Xiao and help him overcome the difficulties in Central Continent.
If he solves the crisis in Central Continent one minute early, he will have one more chance before the end.
What's more, he still needs to find the [Immortal Skeleton] and fight against god-level enemies such as the Big Red Dragon Satan and the Soldier Master Chi You.
The few things I can do to help him are power and wealth.
Thinking of this, Margaret picked up the phone on the rosewood table and dialed Lin Xiao's number.
Lin Xiao was reading the Chu State's history book "梼杌" at home.
According to Brother Chu Yun, this book has the same name as the Four Evils, and I suggest Lin Xiao read it.
Glancing at the caller ID, Lin Xiao answered the call.
"On Sunday, there will be a Central Continent-themed card auction on the Master Channel of the Source World."
Margaret went directly to the topic with a calm tone and said:
"It is said that there will be material cards related to the Four Elephants, antiques from Middle-Earth in the Middle Ages..."
"If you are interested, you can go to the auction."
Lin Xiao's heart moved.
Here it comes, this classic auction plot!
The Four Symbols refer to the green dragon, the red bird, the basalt, and the white tiger, the legendary spiritual beasts of Central China.
The material cards that can be related to them must start from the golden legend, which is enough to imagine the gold content of the auction.
If we can acquire materials related to the 'Suzaku', we can make the flame of glutinous rice balls leap forward again.
However, the winery's business has just started and there is not enough working capital available.
Lin Xiao said: "With the current size of Solomon Winery, it shouldn't be able to buy four elephant materials, right?"
"Yeah." Margaret smiled slightly, "So whatever you like, just put it in my account."
"..." Lin Xiao was slightly startled.
I almost forgot that the team leader is the God of Greed and is as rich as anyone in the country!
Listening to the silence on the other end of the phone, Margaret said calmly:
"Don't underestimate the ability of the God of Greed to seize wealth. Moreover, this is to help you solve the four evil disasters in Middle-earth as soon as possible."
"Just think of it as..." Margaret chuckled: "Let me give you angel round investment."
"I'll charge it to your account first, and then you can withdraw it from the winery's income." Lin Xiao still didn't want to owe a favor.
"Whatever you want."
Margaret lightly shrugged her shoulders and reminded:
"The operators of the Central Continent Investigation Team told me that the specific personnel of the "Wuqu Star" in Central Continent will be changed in the near future. When you are in Central Continent, you can try to make friends with the new Seven Stars."
"New people are always easier to bribe than old people who have been established for many years...I mean, easier to get along with," Margaret said.
The God of Greed’s words of experience made Lin Xiao couldn’t help but nod his head and continued:
"I am the new martial arts star."
"You finally learned to joke with me?" Margaret smiled.
"No." Lin Xiao said, "I really intend to take over the position of Wu Quxing."
Margaret: "..."
Seeing Lin Xiao's determined tone, Margaret realized it later and was slightly in a trance.
Less than half a month after arriving in Central Continent, he was promoted to Wu Quxing.
The Central Continent Alliance really put enough trust in Lin Xiao.
Of course, this must be inseparable from Lin Xiao's strength...
Margaret remained calm and said calmly:
"In tomorrow's auction, I will pay for you if you don't have enough funds. Then you can come back when you are free and go on a date with me..."
Lin Xiao sighed: "It is forbidden to mix private goods."
Margaret smiled:
"Lucifer asked me to tell you that he misses the wine you...made."
"I'll use the "Shenyou Taixu Pillar" to teleport back when I have time," Lin Xiao said.
Drinking with Mammon is not okay.
Drinking with Lucifer, okay.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao continued to read the history book "梼杌" of Chu State and muttered:
"Marquis Wen has already come, there won't be another Overlord of Western Chu..."
Having said that.
Will the Overlord of Western Chu have a face like Bu Jingyun? Lin Xiao thought wildly.
(Note: Actor Peter Ho has also played Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, Kamen Rider, and Bu Jingyun.)
The bell rang again.
This time it was the contact from Han Li, the ‘Greedy Wolf Star’.
"Mr. Lin Xiao, I'm sorry for interrupting you... I really have something important to visit."
Han Li explained that Jiang Shang left the imperial capital to look for opportunities to break through the holy realm, and entrusted him with recruiting Lu Bu.
After searching all over the Central Continent Alliance, they finally found the skeleton of a red rabbit horse, which will be auctioned at the Source World Auction tomorrow.
"The seller claimed that he purchased the red rabbit horse bones from a descendant of a horse herder. In the past, when Guan Yu died in battle, the red rabbit horse died on a hunger strike. The horse herder was responsible for burying the red rabbit horse. Because the horse bones had the sound of copper, he
I kept it myself out of selfish motives." Han Li said, "The authenticity is still unclear, but we will find out tomorrow."
It’s this master auction again…
Lin Xiao's heart moved and she said, "I heard that there are also material cards related to the Four Elephants in this auction?"
Han Li nodded and said: "There is a copy in the source world, called the 'Four Symbols Secret Realm'. You need to obtain tokens related to the Four Symbols in reality before you can enter. There may be related materials produced in the secret realm, with high or low quality.
There are differences, but the price is always high.”
"This is an auction with a Central Continent theme." Han Li pushed the frame and said, "There are many antique cultural relics lost in Central Continent, such as the bronze tripod that is said to have been carried by the Overlord."
"I will buy some cultural relics for the Central Continent Alliance in my own name."
Lin Xiao said: "What's the story behind this auction?"
"It's the Spark Group that founded the Zhulong Network." Han Li said: "To tell you the truth, Jiang Shang and I speculated that the founder of the Spark Group might be the envoy of Zhu Jiuyin, the 'Lord of Spirit and Material'."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to create such a world parallel to reality with existing technology," Han Li said.
Lin Xiao pondered slightly and said, "I will attend the auction tomorrow, should it be okay?"
"Of course it's no problem." Han Li smiled and said, "You don't need to come forward for the red rabbit horse bones. The Central Continent Alliance will auction them off."
Lin Xiao thought to himself, my goal is to use the 'Suzaku' material that can be used to strengthen glutinous rice balls.
If there are materials suitable for Death Granting Spear and Dafu, you can also purchase them.
In addition, the legendary "Overlord Cauldron" mentioned by Han Li made Lin Xiao a little concerned.
It's like a "token" that can summon heroic spirits.
It would be better to leave this kind of thing to the Central Continent Alliance for safekeeping...
