Chapter 101 Brave

So, Dansha took the initiative to speak, and said carefully: "Well... you know a lot, and judging from your previous judgment, are you... a smart person?"

"What do you mean by 'Maybe'? Do I look stupid?" Gao Jian knocked on Dansha's head.

In the heart, a man and a dragon are communicating.

In the eyes of outsiders, Gao Jian looked like he was in a daze.

In the eyes of the two, they are in a "fantasy" in their minds, similar to a person's fantasy, except that there will be someone responding to you on the other end of the fantasy.

"No... that's not what I meant." Dansha considered her words for a moment, then said, "I just think, since you are a smart person, why do you trust outsiders so easily? Don't you know that you are being hunted?"

"Yes, I am being hunted, so am I not hiding my tracks all the way? I disguised myself, covered up all the traces, did not leave any footprints, did not stay in any inn, did not stay in one place for too long, and hid my identity. I did not tell anyone my name, and I tried to communicate with as many people as possible, entangled my own cause and effect, making it more difficult to predict my whereabouts." Gao Jian counted on his fingers in his mind what he had done along the way.

Looking at it this way, he is actually quite careful.

"But, aren't you worried? Everyone around you may be an enemy, and it's hard to say what the Divine Dynasty families may do." Dansha's tone was a little worried.

"Ah?" Gao Jian felt a little confused.

"No, they didn't provoke me, why would you doubt others?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. How can you not suspect them? Aren't you afraid that they will suddenly jump out and capture you? Or even worse, they will directly attack and kill you!" Dansha questioned immediately.

"Did they jump out?" Gao Jian asked back.

"Not yet...but they must have some plans, so we must prepare in advance." Dansha immediately said with his fists clenched to boost his morale.

"Yeah, haven't I made all the preparations? I've bought the medicine and joined the convoy. What else do I need to prepare? For example, be suspicious of other people? Have they shown any signs of wanting to harm me?" Gao Jian asked back.

This was the attitude he showed towards Simengniang, Bai Ping, and even the ghosts in Cangzhou.

Just as said at the beginning.

Gao Jian never makes malicious assumptions about others, nor does he use such assumptions to put pressure on himself.

Thoughts like "Could he hurt me? I have to be careful!" never occurred to Gao Jian.

He usually waits until the other party actually makes a move before attacking him.

"Once they reveal themselves, it will be too late. Let's prepare for a rainy day." Dansha said seriously.

“Haha, you’re a frightened bird. Although you look strong, you’re still just a child.” Gao Jian’s eyes suddenly became gentle.

In fact, he has been observing this real dragon named Dansha these days.

The other party's Taiguang True Spirit can see Gao Jian's thoughts, and Gao Jian can naturally see the other party's thoughts. Both parties know this very well.

So, during these few days, even though they didn't say a word, they were always looking at each other intensely.

However, observing the Heart Lake requires careful concentration, so Gao Jian only looks at it in his spare time, which is different from Dansha who stares at it around the clock.

This kind of mutual surveillance is not communication, and it can even be said to be fundamentally different from communication, because both parties are only observing the other party's psychological activities unilaterally, and actually do not know what the other party wants to express.

After all, psychological activities are completely different from what we really want to express.

Some people have a lot of evil ideas in their heads. They can even think of the name of their future child after just one look at someone, but when it comes to real communication, they may not be able to utter a word. When it comes to action, their minds will go blank.

This is commonplace.

Therefore, observing each other's hearts can only be regarded as a way of "understanding" and cannot truly replace communication.

During this process, Gao Jian could see that the dragon actually had a lot of bad thoughts, such as abandoning him, running away secretly, and ordering Gao Jian to kill anyone she felt was a threat along the way.

Most of the other thoughts were: "He knows this?!" "Why isn't he afraid?" "Why is he curious about this?" "How did he find out?"

This kind of.

to be frank.

Kind of cute.

It really is that kind of childish feeling.

In Gao Jian's view, all the other party's surprise and confusion can actually be summed up in four words.

A frightened bird.

I was backstabbed, ambushed, and then suppressed, so I'm a little jumpy and feel very insecure.

It's really surprising. Although real dragons are naturally powerful, her heart is exceptionally weak.

Gao Jian felt that his mentality was better than hers.

Although he possesses the terrifying power to strangle a fifth-level old turtle with just a remnant soul, he is afraid that some mortals who are not even in the first level will do something bad to him.

And this fear was serious. She might even be scared by the other party. In fact... she had already been scared by Gao Jian.

What an interesting little girl.

"Okay." Gao Jian's mind was in the lake of his heart. He reached out and touched the other person's head. "I said I would take you back to the East China Sea. I will make arrangements for the journey. What are you afraid of? You have been afraid for a long time. Can you come out and teach me how to do things?"

Dansha didn't push Gao Jian's hand away, nor did she dodge. She just looked at him with a puzzled expression: "I don't understand, why aren't you afraid?"

Gao Jian really wanted to answer, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid!"

But he held back.

Instead, he said seriously, "What is there to be afraid of? I have done everything I could, you should know that, right? I have done everything I should have done, and I have not missed anything I should have paid attention to."

"I have already done everything I can do. If there are other accidents, it is not something I can control. So why should I be afraid? Because I am afraid of the Zuo family? Or am I afraid of the Baishanjiang Dragon Palace?"

Dansha raised her head, ignoring Gao Jian's hand on her forehead, and asked as if she had made up her mind, "Aren't you afraid of the future? The possible risks in the future, the crises that may strike at any time and anywhere, the days when you can't sleep well, because you know that someone is watching your life every minute and every second. Even if you have done everything, you are still very powerless and always in an unstable state. Even so, aren't you afraid?"

An unstable vortex, a turbulent future, a life that may be precarious at any time, and someone wants to kill you at any moment.

People in this kind of environment will often be angry, because they are filled with fear in their hearts, so they are like a hedgehog, disguising themselves with anger. They think they are sinking in a dark sea, and there will be crazy winds and waves coming at any time, killing them without a burial, and they can do nothing.

The ups and downs in the sea are filled with emptiness, fatigue, exhaustion, a bitter taste in the mouth, weakening people and making them begin to feel dizzy.

When people are desperate, they want to do something.

But they seemed unable to do anything.

So, panic and anger were the only things they could do.

So Gao Jian smiled, suddenly put his hand under Dansha's armpit and lifted her up.

"Hey! What are you doing!?" Dansha was a little panicked.

"Are you afraid of me?" Gao Jian asked.

"No... I'm not afraid." Dansha's voice was a little shaky, and he said timidly, and lowered his head that had just been raised.

"You are afraid of me, but I am not afraid of you. You should be much stronger than me. Do you know why?" Gao Jian asked. "I don't know... No, I am not afraid of you!" Dansha emphasized immediately.

Gao Jian put the cinnabar down and ignored the other party's answer. Instead, he smiled and said, "Because they are not as good as me, and you are not as good as me, so why should I be afraid?"

"How shameless! You are just a second-level realm... I was stronger than you when I was just born. You can't even break my eggshell." Dansha pouted.

"Even if we can't beat them, why are they still chasing me?" Gao Jian asked.

"Because you are not dead, they are afraid." Dansha replied. The answer is obvious. Gao Jian has mastered the secret, so the Zuo family and the dragons of Baishan River are probably in a very bad mood now.

"That's it, you see, it's them that we are afraid of." Gao Jian said with a smile.

This answer stunned Dansha.

The rest of her words were bitten back.

Is this answer appropriate? No, Dansha felt that she could not convince herself at all.

But is this answer reasonable? It is very reasonable! Dansha couldn't even find any reason to refute it.

There is no doubt that no matter how you look at it, although the strength of the two sides is extremely asymmetric, what we are afraid of is the opponent, not Gao Jian.

"Look at you again, Dansha, right? Aren't you afraid of me too?" Gao Jian put Dansha down: "So you see, you are all stronger than me, but you are all afraid of me. What does this mean?"

"Haha, you think about it slowly. There's a fight going on outside, so I'll retreat first." Gao Jian said, and then disappeared.

He pulled his attention away.

There was a fight outside, and monsters attacked the convoy.

"A tripod of ten thousand tons cannot be filled with a bowl of water. A bell of one jin cannot be contained in a spring. A piece of wood of ten circumference cannot be covered with thatch. A pillar of thorns cannot support a large house. The value of a brave man lies in his ability to act righteously." Dansha said softly.

This human race can be called "brave".

She had heard that the brave are fearless.

So he's not afraid? Is that right?
Fighting for food and drink, having no sense of shame, not knowing right from wrong, not fearing death and injury, not fearing the strong, and only caring about the benefits of food and drink, is the courage of a dog or a pig.

They fight for profit and materials without hesitation. They are resolute and vigorous, greedy and violent. They are greedy and only think about profit. This is the courage of merchants and thieves.

Being violent and disregarding death, advancing recklessly and aggressively just for the sake of bravery, and not caring about life and death on the spur of the moment, is the courage of a villain.

Where justice lies, one will not succumb to power, and will not care about profit. Even if the whole country is against him, he will not change his mind. He values death and upholds justice without wavering. This is the courage of a gentleman.

"A brave man never takes refuge—huh…" Dansha fell into deep thought.

So what kind of hero is he?

She was not quite sure and couldn't quite understand it. It might be because Shuang Ling had been burned, so she was a little stupid now.

However, it seems that I am not so afraid of Gao Jian anymore.

Let's see what he's going to do. It looks like a fight has broken out outside.

She stopped observing Gao Jian's heart and began to experience Gao Jian's five senses, and started to search the surroundings from Gao Jian's perspective.

Then she saw corpses all over the ground.

"So fast!?"

She only thought for a few seconds, how come they all died?

Upon closer inspection, there were wolf monsters everywhere. It should be a whole wolf pack, with quite a few in the second realm among them. It should be a very powerful local monster force, otherwise they would not have the courage to attack such a convoy.

But they certainly didn't expect that there were so many powerful people in this convoy.

The attack was swift, the energy and blood were abundant, and the swordsmanship was sharp.

just now……

When the wolves attacked, a wolf king howled out.

The wolf king's blood and energy were gushing out, and he seemed to be the best among the second realm. He had dozens of wolf monsters under his command, the worst of which were in the first realm, and there were seven or eight in the second realm.

It’s no wonder that a wolves pack of this level has the courage to attack.

Then, on the convoy side, the leader who was in the third realm took action.

That person is not a warrior, but a refiner? A mechanical engineer?
Gao Jian was not quite sure, but the other party had used a very complicated weapon. It was not a conventional sword or spear, but something like a disc with a large number of mechanical parts and formations densely arranged on it.

This thing gathered energy and killed the wolf king with one shot.

Gao Jian also jumped off the car to attack the other wolf monsters below. He killed more than a dozen of them with two or three strikes, and the others turned around and fled.

A pack of extremely dangerous and terrifying wolves, who may have preyed on many powerful wolves that tried to cross this no-man's land, died here.

There was no wind or waves at all.

"You are really amazing, young man. What a beautiful swordsmanship!" At this time, the yellow-skinned and pockmarked woman waved her hand and said, "Come on up, let's continue our journey. Look, I said, our convoy is foolproof, right?"

Gao Jian smiled and nodded, agreeing with the other party's statement.

One person in the third realm and a bunch of people in the second realm are absolutely foolproof.

However, when going upstairs, Gao Jian glanced at Song Da who did not take any action.

Song Da nodded slightly to him, his expression as gentle as ever, and there was no sign of him acting as an executioner on the stage.

In the fight just now, he did not take any action.

Gao Jian noticed that there was a very terrifying aura coming and pressing towards the surroundings, but it seemed to be specifically aimed at the wolf pack, so it did not affect Gao Jian.

But Gao Jian still noticed it.

The reason why he could easily kill the wolves was because all of them were weak in the legs.

After his legs went weak, his strength was reduced by 5 points out of 10. He only wanted to escape and had no intention of fighting with Gao Jian at all. That was why it was effortless for Gao Jian to kill him.

All of this comes from Song University.

Gao Jian estimated that if the opponent's momentum was applied to himself, how much of his full strength would be left?

How many people did this man kill?
How could such a terrifying evil spirit accumulate on his body?
Thinking about this, Gao Jian looked at the other people on the mechanical beast again.

Not to mention the one in the third realm, it seems that everyone has some unique skills.

Ok.

Now it seems that there is really no risk of failure.
