Chapter 277: Find a way out
At dinner, a few people were making travel plans, Vero was not there, he had a city defense mission today, and if it wasn't for Zhuoma pulling him, he would have tried not to come here.
As the commander of the Castle Army, Vero believes that he should reduce his contact with sensitive people, especially those who are concerned and sensitive by all parties, such as Tian Xian, which will hinder him from making certain judgments fairly.
Of course, because of Dolma's relationship, Vero could only turn a blind eye to the previous blockade of Tooth City, although he wasn't sure why Tianxian did this, but he felt that there should be some inevitable reason for this.
Gu Li is muffing out her cheeks and eating in a big gulp, recently her body has recovered rapidly, and every once in a while, she will do a massage massage for her to relax the muscles and bones of the whole body, helping her to restore the toughness of her body, which makes her combat effectiveness soar straight up, and her ankles are shrouded in a faint halo at ordinary times, and the stigmata has reached an unprecedented peak state.
At the same time, her appetite has reached an unprecedented peak.
However, compared to Tu Ge, Gu Li still looked a little tender, and everyone here together did not have Tu Ge's food as much as Tu Ge alone.
Gu Li watched Tu Ge swallow a piece of fried meat into his stomach, and he didn't understand a little bit in his heart, although Tu Ge was tall, he didn't seem to be as exaggerated as four or five times as big as a human being, but his stomach could obviously hold a dinner for ten people......
Tian Xian bit his fork and looked at the map in front of him a little depressed, "The roads around the Thunder Ancient City are very simple. There are only four of them, and even if we can reach the other three gates through all the space in the city now, it is unlikely that we can sneak out. â
"Then kill it!" Tu Ge's idea was simple and effective.
"The problem is that we don't always have to do that, and even if we do, it comes at a cost. Looking at the few people at the table, Tian Xian scratched his cheeks, "What's more, we are not suitable for collective combat now." â
The current chef Zhuoma dragged over the idle map and looked at it, "There are indeed no hidden roads around the Thunder Ancient City, when this place was first established, the Longyuan Empire handed over a large area of land around the Thunder Ancient City, and the surrounding area is bare. Nothing. Even the original forest has been cut down, and there is still an elite legion of the Empire, the Wolf Tooth Guard, stationed fifty miles outside the ancient city, which can be said to be an absolute blank partition, and there is no way to hide in this area. Any action will be exposed to the gaze of others. â
Guli sucks the grease on her fingers. Picked up the map and looked at it. He also shook his head and said, "In this way, as soon as we get out of the city, we will be surrounded, and there is no way to retreat at all." â
Arion immediately echoed Gul, "Indeed. Judging from the recent movements in the city, those people also knew that we were leaving, and they all seemed very nervous, especially the Holy Spirit Temple, where a group of people had been stationed outside the city every day recently, and it was said that there were other people farther away to pick them up. â
"You two, is there anything you can do?"
Tian Xian took the map back from Gu Li's hand and spread it out on the table again.
When Vero is away, Triangle and Encouragement will be on time for the dinner table, and although Tian Xian doesn't understand why such a being is interested in food, it is clear that they both have an extraordinary admiration for Dolma's craftsmanship.
The triangle only drinks the soup, and it stretches one of its own arcs of light into the soup, and then the soup will slowly dye its whole body into strange colors like a tiny gem sucked into the front of the arc, and then when it urges the power of space, it will turn into an unusually brilliant lantern......
Gollum eats everything, and once if it weren't for the quick eyes, an iron spoon would have been swallowed by it.
When eating, Gollum can be any shape, kittens, dogs, and hedgehogs, as long as it has seen it before, it can become the appearance of those small animals in a short time, but its eating appearance is more terrifying, you can imagine what kind of mood people feel when they see a cute kitten with a palm open mouth the size of a plate and swallow food......
After the initial surprise, Arion and Tugo are now used to these two strange things rolling around the dinner table......
Triangle waved the two arcs of light it left outside the soup bowl and seemed to shake its head, "I don't know anything about the outside world. â
Gollum was a rare grace today, a small, unknown drake, crouching quietly and gnawing on a bone, apparently more interested in food than the map.
The guy who couldn't count on it, Tianxian had to roll his eyelids, "Xue, do you have a way?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Xue who was always quietly drinking clear water, and Xue had been very silent on many things, but often when she spoke, she could say things that everyone didn't expect and hit the point.
"Nope. This time, Xue's answer was a little surprising to everyone......
"Still. Xue's words drew everyone's attention again, "We can go to the Buddha and have a look." â
Regarding the fact that Snow is a spirit eater, and that he and Snow have been to a strange place called "Misty Town", Tianxian has been made public to everyone, which also allows Zhuoma to repair Tianxian, because the theft of the source spar last time was also revealed......
What made Tian Xian silently feel relieved was that the other people did not react except for expressing extreme surprise, as for the identity of the Snow Spirit Eater, everyone had a good discussion, and what made Tian Xian a little crying and laughing was that Arion, as the weakest of all people, was not afraid of the snow storage zĂ i, but was excited to be courteous to Xue, he seemed to have learned this method, and then studied Gu Li's mind well......
In short, things were accepted by everyone as they pleased, and there was a little stir in the small group, which immediately calmed down......
Listening to Xue's words, Tian Xian sighed, "Is this the only way left?" But I'm afraid that the old woman won't help so easily, and it's unlikely that I want to take everyone in, the last time I brought Gu Li over, the old woman was already very dissatisfied. â
Speaking of the Lady of the Bush. Gu Li didn't hold the slightest grudge, blinked her eyes and said, "I think she is full of kindness, if we go to plead for mercy......"
Kind...... Tian Xian was a little speechless, Gu Li exchanged a box of source spars for a source crystal stigma back, although Tian Xian did not have a stigma, I don't know how beneficial that thing is to the cultivation of stigma, but seeing that Gu Li's stigma power is expanding rapidly, that source crystal stigma must have also made a lot of effort, no wonder she would say that Du Po is kind now, when the old man's face was cold. It's no longer a human horror.
Such discussions have been going on for several days. Because Gu Li's injuries have healed, and now that everyone is back to their best, it is natural to leave as soon as possible, and once it enters the next month. If you break out. I don't know what's going to happen.
"Today. Let's go visit the old woman!"
After dinner, Tian Xian went to the original station of the four girls next door to try to break through the trick of rebellion, but still did not get the result. Knowing that it was useless to be anxious, he had to return and re-enter the misty town with snow.
It's been a while since I've been to this strange place, and Kazuki walks into the town and looks around, but nothing has changed here.
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, something fell from the sky and crashed into the snow's arms.
"What is this!?" Tian Xian was startled, but then when he saw what Xue was holding, he immediately lifted his guard in his heart.
A round, teardrop-shaped thing with a spiky tail was coquettishing in the bosom of snow, this thing was the size of a small plate, with a nose and eyes, and it looked like a soul ball wandering around.
This thing is obviously the ethereal spirit of Misty Town, but Tian Xian didn't pay attention to whether this thing was stored before.
Xue was pleasantly surprised, and gently hugged the little thing and giggled, as if she liked it very much.
Tianxian frowned slightly......
The little thing rubbed against the snow's chest like a child......
I haven't done it all yet......
It seems that Xue also knows what it is, but it is not a strange thing to occasionally appear in the misty town of a virtual spirit that has never been seen, there are strange looking ethereal spirits wandering around the misty town, and no one can guarantee that they have seen all the ethereal spirits, and these things may actually become other forms at any time......
Just as she picked up a kitten and a dog on the street, Xue hugged the little thing and teased her while coming to the hut where the lady lived.
The cottage in Dupo still looks old, but the flowers are blooming in the small flower garden planted in front of the house, which brings a lot of life to this gloomy town.
She was watering the flowers in front of the house.
"Old woman!!" Tian Xian shouted loudly in the distance, and Du Po was stunned when she heard this, and slowly turned her head, a glimmer of light flashed in her cloudy old eyes, "Old woman?"
"Ah, I mean Granny Wata!" Tian Xian hurriedly changed his words.
"Hmph!" Du Po hummed, put down the kettle, and quickly swept her eyes to the approaching Tianxian, "Little ghost, I haven't seen you for a while, the breath on your body has condensed a lot, it seems that you are working very hard during this time, and ...... Have you suffered a little?"
For the old man in front of him who seemed to be able to see through time, Tian Xian didn't think her words were strange at all, and said directly: "Something has indeed happened recently, but fortunately, my head is still there!"
Du Po smiled strangely, her eyes fell on Xue's body, and she glanced at the thing in her arms, and her eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, "Oops...... Little girl, you really surprised the old woman, how far you have come in a short period of time. â
"Huh?" Xue raised her head in confusion as she listened to the words of the woman, "What?"
Du Po looked at the snow with deep meaning, "Little girl, soon you will usher in the moment of transformation, I hope you can be mentally prepared, many soul eaters died at this level." â
Tian Xian was taken aback, "What level! What's wrong with the snow?"
Du Po shook her head slowly, "Little ghost, this is something that only real soul eaters experience, you won't have anything to do with this matter, and you won't be able to help anything!"
Tian Xian said loudly: "Even if I can't help, we should always know what is going to happen!"
Dupo shook her head again, "Unfortunately, the transformation of a Spirit Eater is a very complicated situation, from physical to mental. As the power of the ethereals grows, they will change anything in any way, and I don't know what kind of transformation she will have, but every soul eater will go through this level of inversion as her power grows, and it's like ...... Stigmata's advancement is the same!"
"Advance!"
"Yes, but as a spirit eater, this is much more dangerous, because the power of the ethereal spirit is more difficult to control, and of course, this is also the reason why the spirit eater is powerful. Compared to the fragments of the Holy Lotus that were separated from the power of the gods. The ethereal spirit is the most primordial power in the world. â
"And!" Du Po looked at the snow meaningfully, "Since you are the spirit eater of the Tianyan clan, hehe, what kind of situation will happen when the time comes." I can't say for sure. â
Tian Xian listened to the words of the woman. I couldn't help but slowly twist my eyebrows. "Granny Wataru, are you saying that the power of the snow is growing, so you want to break through some kind of critical limit?"
"So to speak, she's been growing in power lately. Now the ethereal spirits here have begun to get close to her, and this is the proof!" said Dupo, pointing to the unknown thing in Xue's arms.
"However, Xue Ming has avoided using this power, and usually doesn't even come into contact with the ethereal spirit!Why ......?"
Du Po laughed twice, "Little ghost, don't you know that the Thunder Ancient City is a place that even soul eaters don't want to approach?"
Tianxian was taken aback: "Why?"
"Because that's a place full of true divine power! Unlike the power of stigma, this kind of power that is extremely close to the origin of the world will resonate with the power of the ethereal spirit, around the Thunder Ancient City, the ethereal spirit is very active, in the depths of the Thunder Ancient City, there are many powerful ethereal spirit individuals, the spirit eater will become unusually powerful in this place, but it is also difficult to control his own power, and the slightest carelessness will be devoured by the ethereal spirit!"
These words were like a thunderclap on Tian Xian's head, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "You! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I obviously saw you here last time!"
"Why should I sue you?" asked the woman.
Tianxian suffocated his tone, indeed...... There is no obligation at all for the woman to tell herself about these things.
Du Po still smiled, "Moreover, this little girl's strength is still very weak, even in a place like Thunder Ancient City, there will be no loss of control of her strength, but here it can prompt her strength to grow......"
After glancing at Tianxian, Du Po's tone was a little heavy, "Your current situation, getting strong strength and living is the most important thing." â
There was silence for a while.
"Granny Wataru, do you mean that I will become stronger?" asked Xue suddenly when she looked up.
Du Po showed a smile on her face, "Yes, little girl, but your price may be much greater than that of other spirit eaters, because the Tianyan clan is born to be an abandoned alien race, and the road to the soul eaters is even more bumpy, I don't know what kind of transformation you will experience, but I hope you can be prepared, in the past, there were many soul eaters of the Tianyan alien race, but in recent years, they have almost all disappeared, I hope that in the near future, I can still see you." â
Snow lowered her gaze and smiled.
"Thank you, Granny Wata, if you can get stronger...... Even if it costs me, I'm willing. â
Tian Xian and Du Po both looked at Xue with some surprise, Tian Xian grabbed her hand at once, and said excitedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? That's not a price you can afford at all, have you forgotten about the Silent Forest?"
Xue looked at Tianxian calmly, and the smile on her face slowly softened, "I know and remember those things, but I am no longer afraid, because you will always be with me." â
Tian Xian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was a little speechless.
Xue was still smiling, her gaze slowly moving to her toes, "Once upon a time, no one approached me, I hated everyone, hated all humans, but now...... I want to protect you as you protect me, ......."
"Uh...... But ......" Tianxian wanted to say something, but when she looked at her with eyes that were afraid of blaming her, she occasionally peeked at her snow, but she felt that she couldn't say anything.
"Hehehehehe......"
The two of them were interrupted by a strange laugh, "Young man...... It's an enviable age. â
Tianxian turned to the woman, "What can I do, you should know a little bit about Mother-in-law!"
"Spending time with her is the most important thing you can do. Du Po laughed.
Tianxian couldn't smile, always frowning.
Du Po seemed to be very happy, picked up the kettle again and began to water the flowers, "Say, you two little things have come to my old woman again to do something, it should be some trouble, hum! â
Tian Xian had to suppress the uneasiness in his heart for the time being, and said, "We came this time to use the exits of different places in Misty Town!"
"Oh! I expected that. Du Po nodded, "You want to leave the Thunder Ancient City, right?"
Putting down the kettle, the woman said with certainty: "Yes, as a member of the misty town, you have the right to use the different portals here to enter and exit, of course, there is a limit to the number of times, in order to prevent those who do evil and cause unnecessary trouble." â
Stretching out a finger, Du Po Yan said, "Half a year! You can use it once! This is the rule here!"
Tianxian was overjoyed, but then remembered something, "That...... If I want to bring outsiders here!"
"No!" Du Po replied categorically, "Outsiders are strictly forbidden to enter the misty town, you took advantage of the rules last time, but I have changed the rules, this time you don't want to be clever again!"
Last time, Tianxian said that Guli was a cargo, and finally succeeded in taking her to escape, but this incident has always made Du Po linger.
Trouble...... Tian Xian scratched his head vigorously. (To be continued......)
