Under the cold moonlight, the atmosphere was also a bit cold. Wu Gen looked at the man in white across from him and felt a strange feeling. He couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife tightly at his waist.
The man in white has a slender figure and a sharp face, as clear and powerful as a knife. The black eyes like a falcon have an air of self-reliance and dignity. Both hands were holding a broad, shapeless long sword. The sword's blade was like ink, so deep and cold that it seemed as if even the moonlight had been sucked in.
"I have helped you deal with these fish that slipped through the net, and there is another person who I also brought to you." The man in white looked relaxed and nodded to the side.
There was a rustling sound, and a man emerged from the forest. This man was short and fat, and his complexion looked even darker in the moonlight. When he saw Wu Gen, he took two steps forward and bowed to the end, "I'm Yang Zheng, pay homage to my benefactor."
Wu Gen was stunned. The man in front of him was the one who was locked up with Ye Ziming. I originally wanted to rescue him too, but unfortunately Niu Fang refused.
Shui Congyue walked to Wu Gen's side, "But something is wrong."
Wu Gen nodded, "He is from a foreign race, and I can feel the negative energy in his body." Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Even the short, fat man turned his head in horror, with a look of horror on his face. He stumbled to Wu Gen's side, but kept a distance of seven or eight steps.
"Yes, I am a dark tribe, which is what you call a foreign race." The man said loudly, but he didn't care about the hostility of everyone. "In Dayizhou, we are all guest tribes. Is it possible that we can't let go of our prejudices? Our fellow travelers are like this Magnificent mountains and rivers.”
Wu Gen coughed and said, "I beat a noble woman a few days ago. I wonder if it has anything to do with you."
The man smiled slightly, "It's my junior sister. She lost her sword. When she came back, she cried with me and asked me to avenge her."
Wu Gen's face darkened, "Then your Excellency is going to find this place today and come to find us." He glanced at the heads on the ground and took out the slender ink sword he had captured, "But you You are brave, I see, it is pitiful for this sword to be alone, why not keep the sword in your hand as a companion."
The man shook his head gently, "Of course I want to get the sword back, but I don't want to fight. As I said just now, although our two clans have had a long-standing grudge, we don't have much grudge here. Why can't we turn our hostility into friendship? It’s going to be a fight to the death.”
Wu Gen looked at the man and then at the head on the ground, "You really don't want to fight? What about your junior sister?"
"I really don't want to fight. You have seen it. There are eight of you. By the way, plus the one who just passed by, there are nine people. How can the two of us be against each other? I have also seen your methods. Each of them looks like a match. It's not clever, but if we join forces..." The man pondered for a moment, then thought for a while and said with certainty, "I will definitely be the one who suffers."
Baoxiang sneaked up behind Wu Gen and whispered: "Since he admits that he can't defeat us, it's better to take down this kid first. After all, he is not of my race and his mind must be different."
The man seemed to have some magical power, and he laughed and said, "There's no need to catch me. Although I can't beat a few of them, it's still possible to escape."
Wu Gen thought for a while, took out the slender ink sword, raised his hand and threw it over, "Here, it returns to its original owner. I hope it will turn the war into friendship as you said."
Qi He behind him exclaimed and reminded in a low voice: "Wu Gen, aren't you..." Wu Gen waved his hand, "I don't want to fight if I can. Although the human race and the alien race are feuding, But that doesn’t mean everyone is a feud.”
Wu Gen knew that for an upright person like Qi He, it was completely incomprehensible to support foreigners, and it was normal to have objections. But for me, this man is obviously difficult to deal with, so why bother to use the lives of my teammates to get into a angry fight.
Besides, there was one thing that was always stuck in Wu Gen's heart, and that was the killing of Xiao Nai and Meng Jue. Although he and the other party have opposing positions, they treat each other sincerely in private.
Xiao Nai was killed by himself and Shui Congyue, and Meng Jue committed suicide with his old friend. Thinking of these two people, Wu Gen still feels a little heartbroken. In each camp, there are people with different customs and lofty ideals. How can they be beaten to death with a stick just because of their stance? Even if they end up facing each other life and death on the battlefield, it does not prevent them from becoming acquaintances in private.
Reaching out to take the Mo sword, the man nodded with satisfaction and said to Lin Zizhong: "Junior sister, you see these people are reasonable, why do you have to kill them quickly?"
"Humph." A woman's muffled voice came. The woman in black walked out of the forest, pointed at Wu Gen and said, "He humiliated me that day, so what does that count for?"
Wu Gen rolled his eyes, took a step forward and bowed deeply, "Junior sister, I was indeed a bit abrupt that day, but in a life-and-death fight, how can I care about the common etiquette? I hope the girl is magnanimous."
"Look, I'm very polite, junior sister, how about you calm down." The man had no choice but to persuade his junior sister in a gentle voice. The woman took the sword from her and groaned, but did not speak again.
Wu Gen looked around and said in a deep voice: "This place is not too far from the market. I think we should hurry on and wait until we get to a safe place to discuss it in detail."
"Yes." The man readily agreed and walked with Wu Gen and others. Although they were walking together, there was still some distance between them.
The night was dark, and the group hurried forward under the moonlight. When he reached a stream, the man suddenly stopped and pointed to the river: "You have beeswax clinging to your body. You might as well take a bath here and throw down your clothes to avoid being traced."
When Wu Gen heard this, he was just in a hurry and forgot about this. Both himself and Ye Ziming may be contaminated with bee scent. If they are targeted by the bee, people from the Fengzheng Alliance may catch up tomorrow. Even though Feng Qing was in charge of everything, it was still better to be on the safe side.
This man was very attentive. Wu Gen smiled and said, "My name is Wu Gen. I don't know your surname. It's not a big deal if you feed me along the way."
The man also smiled at her and said, "I, Liu You, this is my junior sister Ning Liancha. I'm going to have a lot of trouble along the way."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Wu Gen laughed, but he picked up Ye Ziming, who was still recovering, and shouted to Yang Zheng, "You also go and wash up, so that others don't do anything to you. "
Yang Zheng nodded repeatedly and followed Wu Gen step by step. Wu Gen glanced back, and saw that Yang Zheng was very strong. He was also in prison, and Ye Ziming had become such a coward. Yang Zheng seemed to be in peace, and his body was not thin at all.
They found a reed swamp and the three of them entered the water. Ye Ziming was stirred by the water, but he also gained some energy. "Wu Gen, my trip to the Great Relic Continent has been miserable. Except for Fengxi Sword, All the other swords have been taken away. Do you think I am obsessed with why I have to come here?"
Wu Gen sneered and said, "Who brings fifteen swords or five knives when they go out? You are so arrogant. If you don't rob someone else, you will rob your wife and your knives. Now my wife and son will be gone. In other words, I am a brother and I are righteous. I left one for you, otherwise you would be a proper widower."
Having said this, Wu Gen turned to ask Yang Zheng, who was washing his body, "Brother Yang, I have never seen you carrying a sword. Whatever weapons you like, I will give you one. You can walk alone on Dayizhou later. I’m afraid it won’t work if I don’t have any means of self-defense.”
Yang Zheng was stunned, was he trying to drive him away? As soon as he stood up from the water in a hurry, the mud on his feet slipped and he fell into the water. In panic, he couldn't stand up from the water. He shook his hands wildly and drank a lot of water.
Wu Gen couldn't bear to see it and stepped forward to help him up.
Yang Zheng coughed repeatedly, and it took him a long time to calm down. He said with a frightened expression, "Master Wu, all the people who traveled with Yang Zheng have died, and only a single person is left. Please do me a favor and let me accompany you. Don't worry, I will This man eats very little, so if you have any chores to do, just ask him, just don’t drive me away." As he spoke, he held his hands in his hands, and his huge belly swayed as he moved.
Ye Ziming looked at his pitiful appearance and sighed, "They are all fallen people from the end of the world. Wu Gen, just take him with you. Otherwise, you will only die if you are alone in Dayi Continent."
Wu Gen nodded, "It's okay to stay, but we still have to walk a long way, and we don't want to go back for the time being. There will inevitably be some risks along the way, and I want to make this clear to you, so as not to If you encounter any danger in the future, you will feel resentful."
"No, no." Yang Zheng shook his head repeatedly, "I will take Mr. Wu as my leader and do whatever is asked without any shirk.
. "
"Okay, then you can stay. But you are fluent in Beizhou Yayan. I don't know where you are from." When Wu Gen talked with Liu You and others, he used the Dayizhou language. He had just talked with Ye Zi Ming talked in Beizhou Yayan, but he didn't expect that the other party could actually understand him.
Yang Zheng let out a sigh of relief, knowing that Wu Gen's move was just a test, "Master Wu, I am from the Xu Kingdom of Tianyuan Continent. You don't know something, but in fact, after experiencing the war with the aliens, the elegant language of each continent is similar, but the accent is slightly different." It’s just a difference. I’ve been from Beizhou since I was a neighbor, so I’m quite familiar with Beizhou Yayan. As for weapons, they were made by fighting in the streets when I was a child, mostly with a pair of fleshy palms. I didn’t mention my favorite weapons, swords and guns. Swords and hammers can be used, and bricks have also been used, so there is no need to prepare them specially."
Wu Gen couldn't help but laugh, this man is really an all-rounder, "Okay, the washing is almost done, let's go up."
When they got ashore, Wu Gen and Ye Ziming changed into new clothes. Only Yang Zheng was carrying a belt. He didn't know if he was going to put on his old clothes again. He hid behind the reeds and looked at everyone in fear.
Seeing his embarrassment, Baoxiang laughed loudly, took his own clothes and threw them over, "Brother Yang, we are about the same size, you might as well use mine to make up for it."
Yang Zheng agreed repeatedly, and it took a long time for Rusty to come out. However, compared to his body shape, Baoxiang's clothes were still a bit too big, and his sleeves were a bit too long, which was a bit funny.
Liu You smiled, picked up the clothes of the three of them with his long sword, and ran towards the distance. After a cup of tea, Liu Youhui came back, "I threw the clothes in three places. It's better for us to hurry up and get on our way."
The eleven people walked in a hurry, and when the sky was getting brighter, they arrived at a barren mountain. They found a hidden cave and planned to rest here for a while.
After a hasty breakfast, Wu Gen asked everyone to rest, but he walked out of the cave to be on guard.
After a while, Qi He came over, with a complicated look on his face, "Wu Gen, do you really want to allow foreigners to be around? Liu You, the man who has gone to great lengths to take the initiative to approach us, might he have any intentions."
Wu Gen patted his side, looked at the mist-shrouded peaks in the distance, and motioned Qi He to sit down, "Qi He has a grudge against Liu You."
"Of course not, but there is public hatred." Qi He said seriously.
"As long as there is no personal hatred. Along the way, we have seen a lot of human races. Why can't we tolerate two alien races? As for public hatred, let it be resolved where public hatred is resolved, even if we have to fight against the alien race again. It's okay to have a fight.
In Dayi Continent, our two tribes are just members of a large group of tribes, and we leave all our grudges outside. In this continent, as long as they are not hostile to us, we might as well be a little more tolerant and wait and see what they say and do. how? "
Qihe was silent for a long time and finally nodded.
