"Is this the ally Jizi is looking for?" Xia Shang looked at it from a distance and felt confused, "I remember Jizi called him 04, it should be a code name, right?"
After the brief contact just now, Xia Shang felt that the kid deep in the maze was indeed different from the Japanese pirates he had encountered before, at least he was much more powerful in terms of kung fu.
If he hadn't taken advantage of the Qimen Dunjia Formation in front of him, Xia Shang would really not have any confidence.
Xia Shang was thinking on the side, and Jizi suddenly relaxed after confirming the identity of the other party. He rushed out without saying anything to Xia Shang, and shouted loudly in the language of birds in front of him.
"Be careful!" Xia Shang secretly yelled, and rushed out.
At this time, the Japanese boy was in a state of self and did not pay attention to his surroundings at all.
As soon as Yoshiko's voice appeared, the Japanese pirate boy not far away immediately started to move. Reality tilted his head slightly, and then struck out with a knife without any warning.
This was the invisible blade just now. It was extremely fast and had huge lethality. Xia Shang took the blade just now with full preparation.
Now the incident happened suddenly. It was not Xia Shang who was attacked, but Ji Zi who made the sound. Xia Shang was too late to save him even if he wanted to.
Xia Shang's scalp felt numb at this scene, and he wondered if the woman he had protected for so long had been accidentally killed by his so-called ally, right?
Yoshiko didn't even feel the danger, because she couldn't see the murderous intent bursting in the air at all.
However, after the pirate boy drew his sword, he also opened his eyes.
I don't know if it was because of his extraordinary eyesight or his strong sense of perception, but he seemed to be able to identify who the person was in an instant. His face suddenly changed, and he instantly turned into a ball of black energy, and the person disappeared in place.
At this time, Xia Shang had no time to look at the situation in front of him. He rushed forward with all his strength and finally grabbed the corner of Jizi's clothes. He dragged her back without thinking, then turned around and protected Jizi in his arms.
The back faces the front.
The only way to save Yoshiko is to take the knife himself.
Xia Shang was already prepared to suffer heavy damage again. Although he would not come into direct contact with the blade, this invisible attack similar to the sword energy would never make people feel comfortable, and might directly kill him.
But Xia Shang didn't think much about it. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to sense the black beads in his body, hoping that it would burst out with magical skills again and save the day.
However, after Xia Shang was fully mentally prepared,
, the expected heavy injury never came. Just as he was about to turn around to investigate, he felt a chill on his neck, and a samurai sword was held in front of his eyes.
"Let go, miss."
Cold Chinese words came from behind, and Xia Shang knew what had just happened.
This Japanese pirate boy made his own moves and received them himself, daring to block the invisible blade before it could hit Yoshiko.
This little man's speed is actually faster than his own knife? This is simply incredible!
Xia Shang didn't move. He could hear that the other party's voice was cold, but also filled with some doubts.
"Si, he is a friend."
Jizi broke away from Xia Shang, turned around and pushed away the Japanese pirate boy's knife.
The pirate boy was a master. If he didn't want to, no one could touch his knife, but Jizi easily pushed his knife away from Xia Shang.
The tense atmosphere eased a lot because of Jizi's appearance. The pirate boy looked at Jizi, with a rare excitement in his cold eyes. He took two steps back and knelt in the rain.
"Miss……"
"Okay, everything is okay. I tried my best to finally find you."
"Why did the lady...I got news that the Chinese killed the lady..."
"Si, this is all a scam!"
"Miss...are you with a Chinese?"
"He saved me." Jizi pointed at Xia Shang.
04 cast a doubtful look at Xia Shang.
Xia Shang frowned and whispered, "Let's find a place to take shelter from the rain."
The previous hut had been destroyed by 04, but fortunately there were other houses in the village that could be used as a temporary refuge.
Several people chose a nearby hut and went in.
Jizi started the exchange with 04 excitedly. Because he was talking in the language of birds, Xia Shang couldn't quite understand it. He just roughly knew that Jizi was telling him about his recent experiences.
Xia Shang was left alone, and Suo Xing let himself go to sleep.
But the three people from before didn't leave, and followed them to the hut.
Seeing Jizi and 04 communicating very smoothly, the three people before them became more wary of Xia Shang.
After being silent for a while, the girl couldn't bear it anymore and asked Xia Shang from a distance: "Are you actually from Japan?"
Xia Shang yawned but did not answer.
"I'm asking you, are you Japanese or not?"
"Do you look like me?" Xia Shang squinted his eyes and replied casually.
"But what happened to this woman?"
"She is from Japan."
"Then why are you walking with Japanese people?"
"Aren't you sitting with the Japanese people now?"
"I..." Lu Lu was speechless, not knowing what to say.
Xia Shang paused and added: "The quality of a person should not be determined by his region. The reason why Japanese pirates are hated is because they are pirates! It does not mean that all Japanese people are Japanese pirates."
"You are so eloquent, you are obviously attracted to her beauty!"
"..." This time it was Xia Shang's turn to choke. He really didn't know how to answer. After thinking about it, he said, "You're right."
"Baga!" The Japanese pirate boy in the middle suddenly roared, stood up, raised his knife, and shouted in Chinese, "Shut up!"
Xia Shang also stood up. He was not afraid of the Japanese pirate boy's knife and stared at him coldly.
"Si, don't act nonsense! He is my benefactor!"
Under Yoshiko's persuasion, the two walked to the door and continued talking.
Xia Shang also lay down and continued to sleep.
The old Taoist was treating his apprentice, but Lu Lu squatted on the ground with an angry look on his face and fell silent.
Half an hour later, Jizi returned to Xia Shang and saw Xia Shang squinting his eyes and said nothing.
Xia Shang opened his eyes and first glanced at the Japanese pirate boy in front of the door. The boy was also staring at Xia Shang with no expression at all.
"Have you told him everything?" Xia Shang sat up straight and asked.
Yoshiko nodded.
"Then what did he say?"
"04 is the person I trust most. He promised to help me find the psychic talisman, and he would also secretly send people back to Japan to deliver the message."
"If it's really what you say, it's all good."
"Do not worry."
"Since he has promised you, he should do what he should do. Why are you still here?"
Jizi glanced back at 04 and whispered: "He insisted on taking me away..."
"Tell him that this is impossible." Xia Shang replied calmly, "I will never let you leave my side until I see the Japanese pirates retreat."
