Chapter 128 Xiao: Digging the Earth?
Chapter 128 Xiao: Digging the Earth?
Zheng Tian had discovered Xiao a long time ago.
Before he stepped into the stone gate, he found that Xiao was watching him on a nearby cliff, and would move to a different position every once in a while.
Moreover, Xiao didn't hide himself very well. In most cases, Zheng Tian could see Xiao when he looked up, and then Xiao would try to put on a friendly gesture, such as waving or nodding, but the forced expression was not very visible, as if it wasn't there.
Obviously, Xiao came here with good intentions, probably on Zhongli's instruction. But don't you think it's embarrassing for Xiao to come here to do this?
Xiao glanced at a few Fatui, then ignored them and looked at Zheng Tian again: "Hello. We heard from our friends in Mondstadt that you were coming, and we were afraid that you were unfamiliar with the place, so we decided to let me come to greet you.
Also, please don’t call me that.”
Zheng Tian: "Okay, Xiao, can you walk around with me first?"
Xiao: “…Okay.”
After saying that, the two ignored the trembling Fools, walked past them, and gradually went away.
When Zheng Tian and Xiao walked away, most of them collapsed on the ground. The others also had weak legs, cold sweat all over their bodies, and expressions of fear on their faces.
Xiao is an immortal who has lived for a thousand years and is a professional killer. The dragon power that Zheng Tian released slightly did not affect him.
But they were different, especially after they found themselves jumping around under the gaze of two big guys, and they might be killed if they crossed the line a little, they were so scared.
It was normal for Long Wei to suddenly leave at this time.
Nataya was the first to recover. She took a few deep breaths and then said to the others, "Okay, you heard what I just said. We'll go back soon. Be smart on the way and don't upset that person again."
the other side.
As Zheng Tian walked, he chatted with Xiao: "I thought we would meet you when we reach Liyue Harbor."
Xiao shook his head: "The Emperor said that when distinguished guests come to visit, we should go out to greet them instead of sitting at the table and waiting.
By the way, considering that you might want to look around first, I can also accompany you around here first. When you want to go to Liyue Harbor, the Emperor will personally receive you. "
Zheng Tian: "I see. Got it. Then you can help me till the ground later."
Xiao: "Hmm... huh?! Digging the earth?"
Xiao widened his eyes, a little confused.
Hoeing the land, is that what he had in mind?
Zheng Tian nodded: "Yes, hoe the land. But I have to tell Kong and the others before we set off. Please wait for a while."
I wonder what kind of ninja soldiers can be created using the "evil spirits" that Xiao fights as raw materials.
Although Xiao didn't understand, he still responded, "Okay."
……
"Is it really what you said before? And you're leaving now?"
Paimeng was a little surprised. Although Zheng Tian had said hello before, she didn't expect that the country of Liyue would be separated as soon as they got there.
Xiangling was a little confused: "What's going on?"
Kong: "Zheng Tian mentioned to us before that when we get to Liyue, he has some things to deal with alone."
Xiangling: "Is that so? Then Zheng Tian, when can you finish your work?"
Zheng Tian: "I don't know, but I will send the Black Shadow Ninja to follow you. If you have anything to do, you can call me through the Black Shadow Ninja, and I can also use the Black Shadow Ninja to quickly find you and reunite with you.
By the way, Paimon, this is for you."
Zheng Tian stretched out his hand, and a pair of small shoes appeared out of thin air.
[Item Card: Conan's Koxue Football Shoes (Newton represents silence)]
Paimon took the shoes and said, "Eh? This style, are these shoes from another world? I don't know why you gave me this, and they are a pair of shoes that are different from the style I wear, but thank you anyway."
Zheng Tian: "Paimon, these are not ordinary shoes."
Paimon's eyes lit up: "Oh, is it some magic item?"
Zheng Tian: "You three, come closer..."
Zheng Tian whispered the function of the shoes, and the three of them looked surprised.
Paimon: "Really?!"
Xiangling: "How amazing! This thing is no worse than some magical tools of the immortals."
This pair of shoes can greatly enhance kicking power without hurting yourself when used. It's really amazing.
Zheng Tian: "Paimeng, you can take this thing with you, but be careful not to use it carelessly, otherwise it may cause death."
Kong looked at Zheng Tian's feet, was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and asked, "Zheng Tian, I have a question."
Zheng Tian: "What's the problem?"
Sora pointed at the shoes in Paimon's hand and said, "Why are these shoes so small? This size is obviously not what you wear, but if they were made specifically for Paimon, the style doesn't seem to match."
Zheng Tian: "Because I got this pair of shoes by chance, I didn't develop them specifically for myself. Seeing that Paimeng's feet can just fit them, I'll give them to her as a weapon."
Paimon was very happy. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Great! From now on, Paimon can also participate in the battle."
Zheng Tian: "Don't be happy too soon. Considering its energy consumption and the upper limit of its energy source, it will need to be recharged after a few uses, so you'd better stay away from it if something happens."
The shoes are powered by electricity. Given Zheng Tian's current conditions, charging this thing is naturally easy.
According to Dr. Agasa, the principle of this pair of shoes is to stimulate the acupuncture points of the feet through electricity and magnetism, so that the muscle strength can be exerted to the limit.
Although this amazing power and the fact that Conan's legs were not shattered by the reaction force are both unreasonable, but considering the people like Xiaolan, whose physical fitness is comparable to that of Kamen Rider, Kyogoku Makoto, who is nicknamed a Saiyan, and even the criminals whose heads were not smashed by the ball kicked by Conan... I can only say that the people in Conan's world are really not simple.
If the card instructions hadn't guaranteed that there was no problem and that the shoes had not been properly scientifically modified so that even all kinds of demi-humans could use them safely, Zheng Tian really wouldn't have dared to give it to Paimon.
Aren’t you afraid of harming your body by stimulating your muscles with electric current?
"Wait a minute. There are many people in Gotham with physical fitness far superior to ordinary people, and so are Mihua. Gotham is the crime capital, and so are Mihua. Conan has encountered hundreds of cases in just half a year. There are all kinds of super criminals in Gotham, and Mihua is also full of talents, including super killers and bombers who show their magical powers... There is a reason why the Internet jokes that people in Gotham are called Little Mihua."
……
"Okay, let's go."
Zheng Tian glanced at the three figures gradually moving away, then turned and said to Xiao.
Xiao asked tentatively: "Well...are we going to Qingce Village?"
Zheng Tian: "No, let's go find monsters, especially high-level fire-attributed monsters, such as the Explosive Flame Tree."
Xiao understood.
"follow me."
After a while, the two came to a huge hidden cave.
The temperature in the cave was quite high, and ashes and fire flowers could be seen everywhere.
In the center of the cave stood a strange tree-shaped monster, shaped like a flower, with magma flowing through its body. There were several hideous giant leaves around the crown, and several thorny vines grew out of the center of the crown, waving in the air.
The Explosive Tree. A giant vine that has absorbed the ancient flames surging through the earth's veins. It is like a plant filled with rage that never stops.
However, this "never-ending" actually describes its vitality. Even the devil can be worn out, let alone this thing.
Today, the flaming tree will cease to exist.
Zheng Tian exuded his power and walked slowly to the Explosive Tree with Xiao. The usually brutal Explosive Tree did not immediately attack like it usually did when it encountered adventurers, but stood still and trembled.
When Zheng Tian walked up to it and stopped, the Explosive Tree slowly leaned forward, as if to express its surrender.
Xiao: "The Explosive Tree has a certain level of intelligence. Under your intimidation, it instinctively chose to surrender."
"Ah."
After responding, Zheng Tian moved forward and walked to the roots of the explosive tree.
At the root of the Explosive Flame Tree grows a fruit similar to the core of the fire element, called the Everburning Fire Seed, which is the seed that drives the Explosive Flame Tree to burn. The fire elemental power in it is exactly what Zheng Tian is targeting.
Zheng Tian reached out his hand to the burning fire, and the moment he touched the burning fire, the Explosive Tree suddenly moved. Its body, which had been crawling, suddenly straightened up, and its temperature instantly increased, and its vines also swung towards Zheng Tian.
It surrendered just now in order to survive, but after realizing that Zheng Tian was not going to let it go, it changed its way of survival - resistance.
Xiao took out the Kabuto and prepared to attack: "Be careful!"
He knew that Zheng Tian was powerful, but he was not sure about the specific defensive power of Zheng Tian’s human form.
Zheng Tian: "Don't panic."
The invisible floating force instantly exploded, stopping the movement of the Explosive Flame Tree. Zheng Tian also began to absorb the surrounding fire elemental power, causing the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly. There were several spots on the ground under his feet that had just lit up and then darkened again. It was the ground fire that was originally guided to spray that quietly stopped.
Click!
Zheng Tian broke it with force and removed the burning fire, then removed the floating force and released the restraint on the explosive tree.
The Explosive Tree fell to the ground with a loud bang, and Zheng Tian grabbed the root of the Explosive Tree without changing his expression. The huge force broke through the obstacles, and finally, Zheng Tian took out some fiery red agate.
Putting away the ever-burning fire and agate, Zheng Tian looked at Xiao again: "Let's go, let's find some more."
This thing won't have much effect on restoring his own strength, so it's better to keep it for research.
Xiao put away the Hepu Kite: "Okay."
In the next few days, Xiao took Zheng Tian to wander around the wilds of Liyue, fighting monsters while showing Zheng Tian the scenery of Liyue.
Xiao is a full-time killer. He has been slaying the remnants of the demons for years and never gives himself a break. He has already traveled all over the surface of Liyue. No tour guide is more familiar with all parts of Liyue than these ancient beings who have protected Liyue for thousands of years.
Finally, after killing thirty-eight explosive trees, nine ancient rock dragon lizards, sixty-eight rock dragon lizards, one hundred and seventy-one baby rock dragon lizards, twenty-three ruins guards, two ruins heavy machines, and a number of monsters of the same level as the Prank Flower, Zheng Tian finally called a halt.
The rock dragon lizard series is quite special, so Zheng Tian often asked Xiao to take him to take care of the rock dragon lizard population. If he was not afraid of affecting the ecology too much, Zheng Tian would have to clean up some more.
In addition, Zheng Tian also created several more batches of shadow soldiers in front of Xiao.
The raw materials are taken from explosive trees, ancient rock dragon lizards, rock dragon lizards, ruins cores, and some demon residues seen along the way.
Among them, in addition to the Ninja Group, Zheng Tian also gained some soldiers from the Troll Group and the Samurai Group.
The trolls were indeed fierce. Their huge bodies showed that they were powerful. Even a young rock dragon lizard could be knocked down by them with just a few punches and kicks. Of course, their movements were still very slow.
And the Samurai Corps... Zheng Tian recalled the performance of the Samurai Corps more than once and questioned General Ika's position in the Black Shadow Corps.
Recall the performance of General Ika and the Samurai Corps in the original world line: the Samurai Corps soldiers were scattered after being hit by Uncle Long twice, and a trash can rolled over directly. Did the Samurai Corps soldiers fall? No, they just scattered! What about General Ika? In the final battle, in order to release the ultimate darkness, the nine generals of the Black Shadow Ninja could not summon soldiers temporarily. Well, he went up with a confident smile! Bang! Well, he was easily knocked out by the Bull Warrior and the Little Snake!
How the hell did you become the second-in-command of the Shadow Corps? Are you Tara's illegitimate son?! You and your soldiers are so fucking fragile!
However, the Samurai Corps' attack power is indeed strong, and the shadow samurai sword can cut through iron like mud.
Dihuazhou, Wangshu Inn. Zheng Tian came here for the first time under Xiao's guidance.
Wangshu Inn is located on top of a huge towering rock pillar and is Liyue's landmark building in Dihuazhou.
Wangshu Inn has the advantage of high ground, and the view is better from the top of the inn. At the same time, because it is located on a major traffic route, it is one of the important strongholds of Liyue officials, or one of the strongholds controlled by Ningguang, the Tianquan Star of Liyue Seven Stars. This entire inn is run by Ningguang's subordinates.
Inside the inn.
"You two, please use it slowly."
The shopkeeper Huai'an personally brought the last dish: almond tofu to the table.
"Oh, thank you."
Zheng Tian responded, then picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot water.
Xiao also nodded to Huaian. Just as he was about to pick up the chopsticks, Zheng Tianshun brought the kettle in front of him and poured him a cup.
Xiao was stunned for a moment.
Since Fushe and the other Yakshas left, has anyone else poured him a glass of water at the table like this? I don't think so.
He is a full-time killer and has no time to rest, while his other old friends are basically recuperating and rarely have dinner with him.
Zheng Tian: "What's wrong?"
Xiao came back to his senses: "No, it's okay."
Zheng Tian: "Well, let's eat. You must be tired after being busy all morning."
Xiao shook his head: "It's okay, it's the shadow ninjas who are fighting, what I'm doing is no different from taking a rest."
Thanks to the presence of the Black Shadow Ninja, Zheng Tian and Xiao have been getting their meals outdoors these days.
Neither of them said anything more and started eating.
Xiao is not a talkative person, especially when eating. Zheng Tian also did not say anything, and ate quietly with Xiao.
As agreed before, Zheng Tian would simply take a rest in this inn, while Xiao would go and notify Zhongli first.
On the other side, Philgodette looked at Huai'an who came in front of him and nodded to him.
Huaian also nodded to show that he understood.
A while ago, they received a message from above, asking them to pay attention to a few people coming from Mond.
Today, they finally saw a visitor from another world, the Dragon Knight Zheng Tian, who also appeared with the Demon-Subduing Great Saint Xiao.
Such news must be reported quickly.
