Chapter 4 [Getting First]
Just as Luo Xiao was running around in the mysterious space and exploring around, outside this space, more than a dozen tall, short, fat and thin figures were gathering by the blood pool, looking at the flesh and blood corpses all over the ground, and everyone looked ugly.
At this time, the scorching fog in the valley had dissipated a lot. Although it was a bit uncomfortable when breathing, it was at least much better than when Luo Xiao was at the scene.
The costumes of these more than ten people are somewhat similar. Except for the three of them wearing pure black tight clothes, the rest are all wearing white clothes. However, judging from the fact that they stand in three directions, showing a horn-like posture and are quite wary of each other, they are obviously divided into different forces.
These more than ten people are the disciples of Xiuwu Hall in Heshuo County, which are distributed around Longyuan Mountain: Yishui City, Yanshan City, and Xiuyan City.
Since they are all in the martial arts training hall, their clothing is basically the same, but there are even more hostile battles between the three cities. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies for a century. In order to obtain more resources, they are indispensable to open and secret struggles. They have never seen blood and died. Not to mention, there is still a headless case at present.
"The traces here are obvious, and someone must have taken the lead." A middle-aged man in black who was about 40 years old and had a rich appearance stared at the bloody footprints on the ground for a long time, slowly stood up, and said to the two men in black opposite, "Two deacons, which side do you think this person will be?"
"What a Xi Jiugao, I've used the preemptive move to my mouth." A man in black, who was about thirty years old, had a face slashed like a knife, had a slightly blue complexion, and had a mustache on his upper lip, said coldly, "How can some people be called to catch the thief?"
Xi Jiugao's face changed: "Tan Liu, what do you mean? Although our Yanshan Hall arrived at the scene first, it was not much earlier than you..."
"No need to be much earlier, just enough to put away the inner elixirs of the dragon scales and teeth." A sarcastic voice sounded diagonally opposite Xi Jiugao. It was the third man in black. He pressed the hilt of the knife and slowly approached. "I won't say that the person who saw him has such a share. Just by our three cities, we are all warned of the Longyuan Mountain beast tide for a whole month. There is no credit and hard work. You can't eat this group of treasures by your Yanshan Hall. If you hand over the things you know, you will be able to share. Otherwise, if you make trouble with the city guard or even the county magistrate, you may be vomiting cleaner."
Although the flesh and tendons of the dragon skin are burned into coke by unknown strange fires, judging from the degree of charcoalization, solid parts such as the scales and the inner elixir of the dragon teeth should be preserved. Those present are old people, so they still have this little vision.
Xi Jiugao took a step back, quietly moved the long sword around his waist to a handy position, and said angrily: "Xu Ziyuan, don't think I'm afraid of you, but our Yanshantang doesn't want to take the blame for others. We can throw the package down and let you and Tan Liu check it out..."
"Stop doing this!" Tan Liu interrupted disdainfully, "Which thief has you seen who has an accomplice who will release the thief stolen?"
Xi Jiugao was furious, "Tan Liu! The word "thief" came out. Do I think you are accusing on behalf of Yishuicheng?"
How could Tan Liu get into the trap? He said coldly: "I'm talking about a thief who takes the lead. If it weren't for your Yanshan Hall, you don't have to come up with him, and you'll be bored."
Xu Ziyuan had approached ten steps, pressed his thumb on the clamping of the scabbard and said sinisterly: "Xi Jiugao, I know you are in the middle of the sixth stage, but you are too unreasonable in doing things. Today, I, Xiuyan Hall, will join forces with Yishui Hall, and I don't know if you can stop it."
After hearing this, Tan Liu cooperated to take a step forward, and he added a pair of leather gloves made of claws of some ferocious beast in his hand, and slowly put them on.
Xiuyan Wushuo Hall has many conflicts with Yishui Wushuo Hall on weekdays, but it is still okay to join forces for the time being in the face of interests.
Xi Jiugao's face changed. The three of them were all sixth-level samurai. However, he was the oldest and immersed himself in the sixth-level realm for the longest time. He was the strongest, but no matter how strong he was, he could not withstand the joining forces of two masters of the same realm. More importantly, how could he take the blame for falling from the sky?
The three disciples of the martial arts temple behind him also drew their blades back to back together, and were very nervous. After all, they were against the crowd, so no matter how they looked at them, they had little chance of winning.
Xi Jiugao suddenly took his hands away from the hilt of the sword, spread his hands out to show that he was invincible, and said, "Forget it, after Xi returns today, he will report to the supervisor and the city guard, and ask the county magistrate to arbitrate. If it is confirmed that the things were taken by me in Yanshan City, I will vomit as much as I say - what I say means, Yanshan Wushu Hall."
Xu Ziyuan and Tan Liu stopped at the same time when they heard this, looked at each other, one released the handle of the knife and the other took off the gloves. The other party was so bachelor, they could not take action again. Regardless of whether the treasure fell into the hands of the Yanshan Martial Arts Hall, at least it was confirmed that it would not be on Xi Jiugao and others at the moment. The most important thing is that it is almost dark, and they must not stay in the hinterland of Longyuan Mountain for too long. No one knows when those frightened spirit beasts will leave their nests. Longyuan Mountain is safe now, but no one dares to pat his chest to ensure that he will not return to the dangerous jungle of ferocious beasts in the next moment.
"Since that's the case, we will return to report each and wait for the good news."
Xu Ziyuan and Tan Liu retreated to their respective circles, and brought their white-clothed disciples under their sect to Xi Jiugao and performed a samurai etiquette - pulling out the blade when they are angry, as quiet as a gentleman, is the standard of behavior pursued by warriors for thousands of years.
Xi Jiugao and his disciples also got into the sheath, and returned the gifts together, and then returned to the way they came in despair. Instead of eating the fish, they made them look fishy, which probably reflects the mood of Xi Jiugao and others at this moment.
Looking at the Yanshan Martial Arts Hall, Xu Ziyuan looked down at the ground, regretting it: "What a pity for these dragon meat..." He sighed and bowed and left.
The dragon is a top-level spiritual beast, which is extremely rare. Its flesh contains powerful spiritual energy from heaven and earth. If it can take one or two, it will definitely increase the strength of the warrior, comparable to a spiritual pill. Unfortunately, it was burned into a charred form and could not be used at all. It is not a pity that Xu Ziyuan was regretted when he entered the treasure mountain and returned empty-handed.
After Xiuyan and Yanshan Second City Xiuwu Hall left, Tan Liu stared at the dazzling bloody footprints on the ground, thinking about it. After a while, he waved his hand and hurriedly walked towards the valley road with three rotating disciples from Yishui Xiuwu Hall.
The three rotating disciples whispered and said in surprise from time to time: "It turns out that the legend of Longyuan Mountain is true. There are really dragons in this world!"
Another man said in awe: "Yes, such a powerful spirit beast would be killed, and the flesh and blood covered half of the valley. Unfortunately, it was all turned into coke. It was such a pity..."
Another person said, "It's not all gone. Didn't you listen to the deacons and others? The treasures of Jiaoya and inner alchemy should not be burned."
One of them suddenly said, "You said, could it be the guys in Yanshan who took it?"
The disciple was angry before: "Isn't this the lice on the monk's head? It's obvious that the guys in Yanshan came first. If there is any good thing, they were the first to plunder it, but pretended to behave, and their hearts would be punished!"
The two disciples said in unison: "That is, there are only these three paths in this valley, and they can't escape from it, and they say they didn't take it, so they are afraid that they themselves will not believe it."
Tan Liu was in front of him, and he heard the disciples talking behind him, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what to think.
The three disciples became more and more angry as they spoke. When they were about to walk out of the valley, one of them looked at a stone beside the road and kicked the stone that looked like a corner of the broken cave into the stream...
...
In the mysterious space, Luo Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone steps and worried about how to get out, discovered a strange phenomenon - the hunting knife he picked up was actually tilting!
Luo Xiao himself was sitting on the platform, and the hunting knife was thrown by him in the void floating next to the platform. But at this moment, the tilt angle of the hunting knife became larger and larger, and finally it was completely turned over. The handle of the knife was originally at the front and the tip of the knife, but now it completely fell off. And it was not over yet, the hunting knife was still continuing to make somersaults - yes, it was making somersaults.
Luo Xiao was surprised and slowly stood up, stepped out of the platform, and was reaching out to grab the hunting knife. At this time, something incredible happened. He was circling around and even flipping the hunting knife. Perhaps because of the greater quality, he flipped faster and more urgently.
Luo Xiao was surprised and didn't bother to grab the knife. He tried to control his body as much as possible. He saw an opportunity to hold the platform and stabilize his body, and then jumped onto the platform. The feeling of being unable to help but somersault was gone immediately.
Feeling his own stability and looking at the constantly rotating hunting knife, Luo Xiao's heart arises. This mysterious space is rotating for some reason, but the strange stone gate and platform are not affected. And because there is no reference object around him, he has no feeling. If there is no abnormality in a knife beside him, he would not have noticed it.
The space rotation suddenly stopped for a while, and it can be said that it came and disappeared inexplicably.
However, Luo Xiao's eyes, touching his chin and staring at the hunting knife that was spinning like a top, became brighter and brighter.
Suddenly, Luo Xiao showed a firm look on his face. He stepped forward and grabbed the hunting knife, inserted his backhand around his waist, then squatted down, lifted his palms, and a light shout, bang, and hit the platform heavily. The Dantian vital energy was like a flood of the drainage gate, following the six meridian channels, including the arm, hand, hand, Shaoming, hand, Shaoyin, hand, and Taiyin, surging out and penetrated into the palms. However, this powerful vital energy did not gush out from the corresponding acupoints of the palm, because the fourth level of martial arts could not make the vital energy leave the body to form vital force, but the powerful impact force generated was enough to break the stone and open the monument.
In an instant, Luo Xiao's arms fell into the platform, then reached his head, neck, chest, waist, hips, legs... If the big platform was like a monster's big mouth, swallowing Luo Xiao's whole life, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Somewhere in a clear stream outside the deep valley of Longtan, a small whirlpool suddenly appeared, as if some river monsters were present. The fish and shrimp in the stream were frightened and scattered into the mud and grass depths.
