call!
As the last barb was removed, both Zhang Xiaozu and Qi Ronger, who was pretending to be unconscious, breathed a long sigh of relief. The latter felt dizzy in his head and passed out again.
Zhang Xiaozhu glanced at Qi Ronger's eyes guiltily, and saw that her eyes were still closed and she was still in a coma, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief again. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to touch someone's breasts in front of their girl.
He glanced at his left hand like a thief. Just now, this hand was touching those two soft areas. Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was no other feeling except softness.
Thinking about it, first of all, there is no aesthetic feeling except for the bleeding; secondly, he has no other distractions, he only wants to remove the hangnail quickly, and has no other distracting thoughts. When the two are combined, there will naturally be no other feeling.
However, the soft and waxy touch seemed to have magic power, lingering around the fingertips and drilling into the pit of his heart, making Zhang Xiaopou feel uneasy.
Looking at Qi Ronger, Zhang Xiaopou couldn't help but frown. His original plan was to help Qi Ronger remove the barb and then leave, never to see each other again, to prevent Qi Ronger from taking revenge. But now after listening to Qi Ronger's self-report, he not only admired her tenacity and tenacity, but also couldn't help but sympathize with her life experience. This made him unable to be cruel enough to leave Qi Ronger alone and walk away.
"At least we should wait until she wakes up before leaving. Otherwise, if a wild beast passes by here and she falls asleep without knowing it, it will be in danger." Zhang Xiaozhu murmured to himself. He grew up bathed in the atmosphere of Liujia Village and was kind-hearted. It has penetrated deeply into the bone marrow and cannot be changed by one or two things.
"This is the activity area of the black giant ape. It is extremely dangerous, so we cannot stay here for a long time."
Thinking that the black giant ape might turn back, Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but shudder, and immediately decided to take Qi Ronger away from this dangerous area and find a safe place.
He put Qi Ronger's belongings on the ground back into his cloth bag, then went to the other side of the river where he fought with Qi Ronger to pick up his two broken knives, planning to have Niu Yao reattach them after returning to the village. When cleaning up the phoenix dance whip, he opened his eyes again. He just flicked it, and all the dust and blood stains on the whip were removed. It was cleaner than washing with water. When the button was pressed, the barbs shrank with a swipe. Entering the whip body is very clever.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Zhang Xiaopou swung his phoenix whip and made crisp cracks in the air. He was very excited and couldn't help but said to himself: "It would be great if I had such a magical weapon. My combat power would definitely be improved a lot." .Um--"
As he was speaking, he suddenly frowned and turned to look in the direction where the black giant ape was killing the old man with the crown and the old man with the red face.
"That three-foot dagger must be extraordinary!"
He thought of the three-foot sword used by the old man wearing the crown, and his eyes suddenly became hot.
“It’s really inappropriate to abandon the treasure in the wilderness and let it become dusty!”
"I helped them collect the corpses, and this sword is my reward. Isn't it excessive?"
"It's not too much to think about."
"If it doesn't work, I'll give it back to you when you wake up." Zhang Xiaozu looked back at Qi Ronger behind him and said.
After that, he picked up Qi Ronger and jumped up to a tall tree, placed her on a thick trunk, and fixed her body with a phoenix whip to prevent her from falling. He didn't dare to take Qi Ronger with him, fearing that if he encountered a black giant ape, he wouldn't be able to run away. She was also afraid that wild animals would pass by after she left, so she had to put her in a tree first.
He stood on the tree and observed the bushes in the distance for a while, making sure that there was no black giant ape in sight. Then he jumped down from the tree and ran across the river towards the place where the black giant ape was fighting. Even though he had observed that there was no sign of the black giant ape, he was still very careful and kept sneaking all the way.
The battle venue can be described in two words: bloody.
Blood was spread all over the ground, and even the surrounding shrubs were dyed red. Broken arms and limbs, bloody intestines and internal organs were scattered everywhere, and it was too horrible to see.
Zhang Xiaozu suppressed the turbulence in his stomach and found the three-foot dagger of the old man wearing a crown under a bunch of blood-stained bushes. The moment he held the hilt of the sword, he couldn't help but be surprised, because the dagger was not as light as he had imagined. Instead of being light, it was actually very heavy, much heavier than he had imagined. He held it in his hand and weighed it, and conservatively estimated that the sword weighed at least a hundred kilograms, much heavier than his hunting knife.
He waved the dagger, and wherever the sword's edge touched, the bushes fell down without making a single sound, which showed how sharp the sword was. He couldn't put it down because of its heaviness and sharpness. The only drawback was that the sword was too short and the handle was too narrow, so he couldn't use it as much as he wanted.
When he mentioned the width and weight, he couldn't help but think of the huge sword that Zhou Jianlai was dragging in his hand. Thinking about it now, the sword was probably as heavy as a thousand kilograms, or even if it wasn't, it was probably about the same weight. If this sword were wielded, it would be earth-shattering and invincible.
Zhang Xiaozu is greedy, and he can only be greedy.
"One day I will have a weapon of my own!" He has fervent hope and longing for the future.
After gathering his thoughts, Zhang Xiaozu dug a big hole with a three-foot dagger, threw all the broken arms and limbs into it, then filled it with soil and piled a grave.
"Let's all reincarnate. If you reincarnate early, you will be a good man again in eighteen years." Zhang Xiaozu bowed his hands towards the tomb, then picked up two bags and a cloth bag on the ground and turned away.
He vaguely remembered that these two bags belonged to the old man wearing a crown and the old man with a red face. They should have similar uses to Qi Ronger's bag. They contained some useful small items and elixirs. The big cloth bag was carried by a slave. Yes, he opened it and took a look. It was full of clothes.
They were all good things and he couldn't bear to throw them away.
Back under the tree, Qi Ronger was still lying quietly on the bed, not waking up from her coma.
Zhang Xiaozhu opened the gray cloth bag and picked out a well-fitting green robe. Judging from the style, it should be the clothes of an old man wearing a crown. It was a bit old-fashioned, but he didn't care, because he was almost naked, so some clothes would be good.
He went to the river and washed himself. All the wounds on his body were scarred by the Xugu Shengji Pills. However, the chest area was injured many times in a row, and the scars were very oozing. I'm afraid there will be some scars. Big scar.
"Scars are a testimony of growth and a symbol of a man, majestic and domineering!" Zhang Xiaozu chuckled, not sure whether it was to comfort himself or to be really happy.
He tore off his rags and put on a soft and cool brocade green robe. Looking at his reflection in the water, Zhang Xiaopou couldn't help but feel in a trance. He didn't know whether it was because of the green robe or a temporary misunderstanding. He felt that he had matured. There are many, many, many, many green hairs rising above his lips and on his chin, which add a bit of maturity to him.
"Hehe, I've grown a beard! I'm going to be so jealous when I see it." Zhang Xiaozu stroked his chin happily, gently, like stroking a girl's hair, for fear of losing or breaking one.
Zhang Xiaozu found a piece of cloth, moistened it in the river, wiped Qi Ronger's face and hands, then packed up his things, carried Qi Ronger on his back and ran towards the outskirts of the black forest. There are monsters in the depths, which is really dangerous, so it's safer to stay outside.
…
The scorching sun is setting in the west, and dusk has arrived.
Five bonfires were set up on the top of the mountain on the west side of Reed Lake. On each bonfire was a simple wooden grill, with huge pieces of lean meat skewered on the grill. Under the high temperature roasting, large drops of fat slipped from the meat and dripped into the flames below, making a series of sizzling sounds.
The meat is not yet cooked, but the alluring aroma is already filling the air, making people unable to help but salivate.
Under a tall tree nearby, more than ten people worked together to open up a huge animal skin. Its hair was soft and dense, and its color was colorful and translucent. The black and yellow stripes looked like painted satin, and the thick and long On the tail, there are circles of black rings, like a steel whip, and the big "king" pattern on the gray forehead clearly shows that it is the skin of a fierce tiger.
"Slow down, slow down. Tighten the left side, loosen the right side. Up, up, continue." A person under the tree directed others to hang the huge tiger skin to the trunk so that it could be dried.
"Next month is the birthday of the Lord of the City, so it would be most appropriate to use this tiger skin as a birthday gift." Duan Baifei stood not far under the tree, gently waving the folding fan in his hand, admiring the huge hanging tiger skin, and said.
"The beard and tail are five feet long. The three-foot-long tiger skin of the Bai family is like a child in front of it. When it is unfolded at the birthday banquet, it will surely amaze everyone!" Xu Murong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, killing the tiger. He also has a share of credit for peeling the skin, and he will definitely steal the limelight at the birthday banquet.
"Thank you three young masters for your kindness and gift. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my father!" Qin Xinru bowed to Duan Baifei, Xu Murong and Zhou Jianlai one by one.
"Thank you three brothers!" My sister Qin Rulan also thanked me as a gift.
Duan Baifei returned the greeting with a smile and said: "Haha, the four of us are in the same family, we are all one family. If the elders celebrate their birthdays, we juniors should do our best and never say 'thank you' again. Besides, this tiger skin It’s not the three of us, but the collective credit of the five of us.”
"What Brother Duan said is absolutely true." Xu Murong said.
"Hmph, it's not pleasant!" Zhou Jianlai groaned.
"Haha——" Duan Baifei laughed when he heard this and said: "This giant tiger is rare to see in a hundred years. A complete tiger skin of this size is so precious. Naturally, you can't let you slash it with your sword."
When fighting a giant tiger previously, in order to ensure the integrity of the tiger's skin, Zhou Jianlai was forced not to use his giant sword and could only fight the giant tiger with one hand. This was frustrating for him who was crazy about swords. Extremely.
The other three people were also amused. Qin Rulan smiled and comforted: "Brother Jianlai, don't be depressed. When the green python comes out of the lake tomorrow, we won't do anything and let you fight to your heart's content alone."
"Okay!" Zhou Jianlai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This tiger skin is used as a birthday gift. It's a pity, it's a pity." The white-bearded old man walked closer, looked at the huge hanging tiger skin, shook his head and said with regret.
When Qin Xinru and the other five heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. They thought to themselves that the more expensive the birthday gift is, the better. Besides, the person celebrating his birthday is still the lord of the city. How can it be said to be a pity? Doesn't this mean that the city lord is not worthy of this tiger skin? If the city lord hears these words, what's the point?
"Haha——" The white-bearded old man knew what the five people were thinking, he stroked his beard and laughed, saying: "Such a huge tiger skin is really rare. Tigers of this kind are rare, and even demon tigers are extremely rare. "Monster and Strange" "Zhi" has a saying: When a tiger transforms into a demon, its shape can reach two feet; when it enters the small realm, its shape can reach four feet; when it enters the big realm, its shape can reach ten feet; when it enters the king's realm, its shape can reach one hundred feet. With the wide opening, you can understand people's speech; enter the emperor's realm and change your destiny against the will of heaven. The demon tiger you captured is more than five feet long. It is said that its realm is the first to enter the great realm, but with the strength of the five of you, if you really meet A tiger demon in the Great Realm has no power to fight at all. It can be seen that this tiger demon has not reached the Great Realm. According to what I see, this tiger demon should have special opportunities, such as eating spiritual fruits that strengthen the body and prolong life. It makes the body become so huge. If this is true, then the meat of this monster should be a great tonic, so when the meat is cooked, you young people have to give way to me, an old man, and I will eat more. The two of us might live for two more days. Hey, as we get older, we become more and more afraid of death."
"——" Qin Xinru and the other five looked at each other in confusion, and couldn't help but curse in their hearts: "How greedy are you, old man? By saying so much, do you really want to say that you want to eat more meat?"
"Elder, are you digressing from the topic?" Qin Xinru wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and reminded the white-bearded old man. At the same time, she muttered in her heart: "I have long heard my father complain that the elder is greedy and can eat. It seems to be true."
"Ah, haha. I am old and have a poor memory, so I tend to go astray when I talk." The white-bearded old man laughed and said, "This tiger skin is more than five feet long, and it can only be possessed by the Great Realm Tiger Demon, and the Great Realm Tiger Monster Demons are rare to see for a hundred years, so we can imagine how precious your tiger skin is. It is really a waste to use such a precious treasure as a birthday gift. I have a suggestion for you, why not sell it to the Lord of the City in exchange for You are a useful cultivation resource. Praise and compliments are just to satisfy your vanity, and there is no real improvement in cultivation."
"Ahem -" Xu Murong was caught off guard by the word "sell" and choked on his saliva.
The other four people also looked at the white-bearded old man with wide eyes and disbelief. If his immortal appearance was not still there, they would have thought that this old man in front of them was a profit-seeking and bad old man.
