Zhou Jinru ignored the corpse at his feet and used all his strength to slowly catch up with him, increasing his speed to the limit.
When he first had subjective slowdown, his body couldn't support the acceleration and could only use it for a few seconds. Now his body's strength is not what it used to be, and it doesn't feel difficult to catch up at top speed.
Since there were demons in the north, for safety reasons, he did not pursue them in light form.
Neither of these two inner guards knew him, which meant they had nothing to do with the three inner guards from more than ten years ago. Even so, he would not let them go.
The running inner guards were not running aimlessly. They first chased in the direction where the Ursus regular army had previously evacuated. If they could find the army, no matter how strong their personal strength was, they would not be able to fight against the army. There was no ability in this land. Individuals who stand in the way of thousands of troops.
But after chasing after him, the inner guard noticed something was wrong. The monster behind him was getting closer and closer, and he was about to catch up.
He was about to change direction when his vision suddenly went dark and he fell to the ground. The dizziness lasted only a brief second. The inner guard immediately got up and felt that someone had punched him in the back of his heart. His armor was deeply dented and blood spurted out from his mouth. Inside the helmet!
"how so?!"
He turned around and slashed at him with a knife. The man received the knife head on, holding the blade tightly with his palm!
Zhou Jinru said calmly: "Let me make it clear to you, why should I fight with you in the country? Because the country is your domain, this means that your vigilance will be reduced to the minimum. After all, no one can be in your domain. I will defeat you, but now this myth is shattered.”
The humanoid shadow punched the inner guard's helmet, causing the mask to shatter and black mist seep out.
"The second thing is that you shouldn't fight me in close combat. I'm the fastest and strongest within five meters."
He pinched the inner guard's throat with one hand and looked at the twisted human face, thinking that these were all the sequelae of adapting to the power of the devil for a long time.
"Any last words?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jinru's palms burst into flames, and the fire shone in his eyes, his eyes were cold. He did not intend to let the other party leave any last words. He said those words to disintegrate the sense of resistance.
In fact, when he killed one of the internal guards in the kingdom, the other one had already lost his fighting consciousness.
"Lilia, I'll get some interest back for you for the time being, and we'll talk about the rest later."
The man in black threw down the charred corpse in disgust. The pollution caused by the evil fragments would soon turn the land black. He had already seen this in Iberia. The remaining questions asked Ursus can worry about it himself.
After all, the killing of two internal guards was no small matter.
Zhou Jinru turned around and left. He didn't want to go back to the integration movement, so he headed north to avoid the Ursus army who might come back to search, as well as the retreating Long Nu and others.
…
Two weeks later, in a small village in Ursus, a homeless doctor came out of a dilapidated wooden house, holding a small potato in his hand, which was his medical expenses.
Zhou Jinru didn't want it at first, but as a doctor who could relieve the pain of infected people, he couldn't take nothing, otherwise the villagers who were suspicious of serious illness would associate him with the picket men who often went fishing to enforce the law.
For half a month, nothing seemed to have happened. The death of Nei Wei did not seem to cause any big waves. It may also be that the small village where Zhou Jinru was hiding was too inaccessible and the waves could not be conveyed.
"There is no news about Alina here. I can't move further north. It is impossible for the integration movement to set up its base camp in the hinterland of Ursus. It will not be too easy for the regular army to destroy them."
The villagers are very curious about the wandering doctor from other places. After all, in the isolated environment, it is rare to hear news from the outside world.
"Mr. Four, do you think Victorians like potatoes as much as we do?"
"Yes, they have a deep obsession with fish and potatoes, but the cooking methods are simply fried and steamed, which tastes very bad."
"Oh, we rarely see fish here. We can only find salted fish when the caravan comes. In fact, we don't have anything to trade, but they are just animal skins and useless herbs."
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything. He was wondering what the so-called caravan did. Was it trading some worthless things and just doing charity?
Another month passed, and nothing happened. As the year 1094 was approaching, Zhou Jinru decided that if the caravan didn't come again, he would go find it himself.
"Mr. Four, the caravan is coming!"
Outside the wooden house where he was temporarily staying, the villagers shouted. He put a skinning knife into his clothes, opened the door and came out, asking: "Where is it?"
"Come with me quickly, the caravan will only stay for one day."
Zhou Jinru frowned. The injuries on his body were not healed yet. Although the wounds left by the inner guards no longer bled, they healed much slower. He could not find medical equipment and could only rely on his physical fitness to wait for the injuries to recover.
It's useless to turn this kind of injury into light form.
The last time he was in Siesta, the mayor ordered the hospital to treat him at all costs. Originally, the hospital had no good solution for the injuries caused to the internal guards.
But he was still in a coma at that time. The attending doctor at the hospital took very radical measures and used the best drugs to clean out all the muscles and tissues near the wound. In addition, he did not expect that his body would recover as fast as an ordinary person. Several times, except for leaving some scars, it has basically healed.
But in the current situation, Zhou Jinru couldn't take this approach. He couldn't cut the flesh with a knife...
The villagers who came to see him chattered endlessly: "I heard that caravans come from big cities. There are many people and a lot of goods. Maybe they can find some good things."
"Maybe."
It seems that even in the land of Terra, people still have a heart for picking things up.
The caravan that the villagers were looking forward to stopped in an open space. There were more than twenty carriages in front and behind, more than a dozen of which were filled with goods. They were basically daily necessities, which could be exchanged for animal skins and herbs. If there were source stone mines, , that can also be sold at a good price.
Zhou Jinru walked around and found that many people could produce crude ore. He had never heard of them talking about it before. Maybe there was an open-pit mine nearby. He was an outsider, so it was normal for him to keep it secret.
There are indeed some wound medicines from big cities in the caravan. The problem is that they are relatively expensive and villagers generally cannot afford them, so basically no one cares about them.
"Does anyone really buy these things?"
"We don't just go to one place when we are running business. There are always people who need us."
He put down his things and asked casually: "Are there other villages nearby?"
The caravan man was smoking, puffing happily, and narrowed his eyes at the man in rags: "There is also a settlement with many old people and children, and they buy a lot of things. Do you want to live somewhere else?" ?”
