Chapter 21: Pain
Rumble!
The tomahawk slammed into the ground, smashing out a deep chasm.
The soldier who was attacked by Gu Ju dodged at the last moment, letting go of the axe that went straight to his head, but he was still slashed on his leg, and his entire left leg turned into ashes in an instant.
He only had one right leg left, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, looking at Gu Juan and saying slowly, "You, how did you find me?"
The soldier's voice sounded eerie, like the whimper of an old-fashioned tape recorder when the battery was about to run out.
Click!
Gu Juan didn't say a word of nonsense, and the progress of rubbing his body was another axe.
This time, the soldier who was missing a leg finally failed to avoid it, and also turned to ashes and scattered.
"Silly B, it's not how I found you, it's the fool who can't even count well who helped me find him, and your expression that was slow to react for a moment just now made me find you again. ”
It was only at this point that Gu Juan gasped and stopped, spitting at the ashes.
The whole squad was mixed in not two, but three!
But there is a difference that even Gu Juan didn't fully understand, that is, there are two who have unknowingly replaced the identity of the team members, and the last one has not or has not had time to replace a soldier.
This is also the fundamental reason why he, "Zhou Wuchang", and Han Xiong have different numbers.
Maybe it was because of the Jungle Knife, or maybe because the stone tablet recorded the Flame Palm, so Gu Juan could see all the people, so he counted twelve people, but there would be one more.
Zhou Wuchang himself was a "person" who mixed in, and he couldn't see the other two mixed in besides himself, so the answer he gave was that 8+2 was equal to 10.
Han Xiong can't see all the "people" mixed in, so no matter how he breaks his fingers, he can only come up with the seemingly stupid answer that 7+2 equals 9.
Gu Ju's blind point in his thinking at the beginning was that he didn't expect that Zhou Wuchang would be a fake.
Thankfully, the one who came in didn't have time to replace one, and if he had dragged back a little longer, he wouldn't have even noticed that there would be an extra problem with the number of people.
"Fortunately, the premise and assumption I made in a hurry are correct, otherwise if this situation continues, I dare not guarantee that I will not let go of the mistake and attack the entire team. ”
Gu Juan narrowed his eyes, hiding a fierce glint in the deepest part of his eyes, and he was really relieved in his heart, but then doubts rose.
"They were indeed judged to be wild monsters, but why didn't the Jungle Knife have been warning about heat until I slashed into Zhou Wuchang's body, so what are the trigger conditions for its heat warning?"
Recalling the details of the jungler knife little by little, Gu Juan could only come up with a temporary speculation in the end.
"Maybe only when it's close enough that something poses a real threat to me, or if they attack with some force I don't yet understand, will the Jungler Blade be triggered. ”
After a while, Gu Juan called Han Xiong again, pulled him behind a wooden wall, and asked in a low voice while observing the other soldiers, "When did Chief Zhou Wu have an accident?"
Han Xiong's eyes widened, "What are you talking about, Master Gu, Zhou Wuchang? What happened to Zhou Wuchang? Huh! What about Zhou Wuchang and others?"
"Forget it, you go back. ”
"Then, the dart master said that he wanted to give me a secret order......"
Gu Juan frowned, and was about to casually send away this rammer, but after a turn of thought, he said in a solemn tone, "The secret order for you is to always pay attention to my changes, especially when I am not attacked but suddenly seriously injured for no reason, don't care about anything, run away with me, the faster the better, the farther the better." ”
"Don't worry, I've written it all down!" Han Xiong patted his chest and nodded heavily.
Rumble!
The boiling heat continued to burst out from the jungle knife, instantly swimming all over the body, all the exhaustion was almost swept away, and Gu Ju opened his mouth wide, so comfortable that he almost moaned/moaned.
This kind of feeling, I can really feel the feeling of the body becoming stronger, and it is not too cool.
"It's gone, a lot of experience points, and the Flame Palm can be upgraded to another level. ”
Gu Juan did not hesitate, and directly put all his experience points into it, raising the Flame Palm to another level.
The heat flow in the depths of the dantian grew rapidly, winding along a specific route, and finally all converged in his palm, faintly glowing with a golden red glow in the darkness.
Call............
Without warning, a flame ignited from the wooden wall that Gu Ju was holding on to his left hand, and then quickly expanded, making a crackling sound.
"Oh?"
He didn't notice any burning pain, and it took him a moment to be caught by the light and sound, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Han Xiong was looking at him with adoration, his eyes full of light.
"Dart Master, you can breathe fire!"
Gu Juan's hand holding the jungle knife tightened, but after a while, he restrained his thoughts and said solemnly, "The matter of my cultivation of internal breath is a secret that only you know and I know, and no one else can know, understand?"
"The dart master is so powerful, he has actually cultivated an internal breath ......" Han Xiong smashed his thick lips, and only when he saw Gu Ju's unkind face did he slam his bald head, "I understand, I understand, even if I die, I won't tell this matter!"
"Alright, you go and call them all up now, and we'll go on. ”
"Okay!"
Next, plus Gu Ju's team of only nine people left to continue to advance through the wall, but compared to before, it was very different.
Gu Juan has been walking in front of the team now, every time he breaks the wall with Han Xiong, he will pay attention to the people in front of him, while quietly falling last, find flammable materials and put his palm on it, and quietly put a fire.
Unlike torches that can't be lit, the flames released by Gu Ju this time have never been extinguished, on the contrary, there is a tendency to burn more and more.
Except for Han Xiong, who often turned his head to pay attention to Gu Ju, none of the soldiers who were almost numb noticed that behind them, golden flames were burning, almost connected.
..............................
"Pu Lian's subordinates, three have died, and two are wounded......"
In the courtyard of a house in the village, a fluctuating voice suddenly sounded.
The next moment, another hoarse and difficult voice responded, "These people, they can find out that they have injured Pu Lian's subordinates, which is not difficult for us, but ah, it is beyond my understanding to be able to kill them." ”
"Are you, like Pu Lian, forgetting the purpose of our special here?"
"I haven't forgotten, what do you mean, White Tiger?"
"Yes. ”
"That's what we're here for...... It's a pity that these people have to bother at this time, I ......"
The hoarse and difficult voice suddenly stopped, and when it sounded again a moment later, there was a hint of confusion, "Pu Lian, why has there been no sound for so long?
After waiting for a long time, an extremely weak, almost inaudible voice sounded as if from a distance, "Sharp axe...... Lop...... Flame...... Burn ...... It hurts, it hurts!"
