"Even if you ask me that, I don't know!"
Bai Shui was helpless and he was also confused!
Just like that, after staying in Tianshui City for a while, Keqing dealt with most of the situation and set up a solid defense line, then headed towards the next city.
However, not everything goes so smoothly. There are people like Shui Ling who know how to deal with the times and are easy to talk to, but not all city lords are like them.
Chapter 424 She Doesn’t Need Useless Self-blame (Part )
Just
For example, in Gaodu in front of us, when Keqing came to rescue, there was already a sea of blood and corpses outside the city gate. The large number of corpses piled up into small hills even stunned Keqing.
When he saw Keqing coming, the city lord waved excitedly.
"You guys are finally here! Hurry up, or I'll be dead soon."
Keqing looked at the mountain of corpses and the pile of blood in front of her. Among the corpses were not only those of cultivators, but also those of mortals.
According to the habit of these fallen beasts to devour corpses, the city in front of them was preserved by relying on the blockage caused by the large number of corpses.
However.
Keqing fought her way into the city. Except for some hidden warriors, children and the elderly, a large number of young and middle-aged people had already been used as corpses and shields and died outside the city.
Nine out of ten houses are empty. Is there any point in rescuing such a city?
When the survivors saw them coming, their faces were not filled with joy, but numbness and fear.
When the Lord of Gaodu heard Keqing's request for help, his smiling expression immediately changed.
"What!? You want me to hand over the city lord's seal? Don't even think about it!"
"Why!"
"Why? Because we saved you."
This time it was not Bai Shui who answered, but Keqing, whose face was expressionless and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"Huh? If you have the guts, don't save me. I'll let you save me."
"That's right. We didn't have to save you. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have survived. You can say that we saved your life."
"In that case, we can take back this life, but I like to leave some leeway, so I only need your cultivation to pay for your life."
"What the hell..."
However, before he could say anything, a silver light flashed, and he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. A large amount of spiritual energy escaped, and red blood splattered onto his face.
He was stunned, staring blankly at his abdomen, and subconsciously touched it with his hand.
My cultivation...
My cultivation! ?
"You bastard! How dare you destroy my cultivation?"
He wanted to rush forward madly, but Bai Shui on the side saw the opportunity and kicked him hard, sending him flying.
"Hey, brother, you are wrong. At least you are still alive, right? If we hadn't come to rescue you, you would not have survived and your body would have been gone long ago. Now we have only destroyed your cultivation, but you still have a life. Why are you still not satisfied? Since you are unwilling to give up the city lord seal, just keep it as a family heirloom."
"certainly……"
Bai Shui glanced at the other people around who were eyeing him covetously.
The premise is that you can survive.
He said in his heart.
"Bullshit! You ¥@! #¥@"
He wanted to curse more, but Keqing took Bai Shui to continue killing fallen beasts outside the city, and no one listened to his dirty words anymore.
"You, what do you want to do! I am the city lord! Be careful or I will punish you for your crime of treason!"
After Keqing left, the remaining crowd surrounded her and looked at the figure on the ground with extreme hatred.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!"
"Ah - damn! You bitches!"
The screams were loud at first, but gradually became weaker.
Keqing turned her back and listened to the sounds behind her, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm still late."
"My lord, this is not your fault."
I know it's not my fault.
But I was very unhappy, very unhappy.
Zheng——
The sword rang out of the body.
Keqing vented her unhappiness on the tide of fallen beasts in front of her!
The ferocious attack and desperate fighting style made Bai Shui Shuiling tremble with fear.
"She really dares to kill! That person has a big family behind him!"
Shui Ling still found it a little hard to believe.
"Do you think I'm lying to you? Have you ever thought about how we got the Licheng? We got it by killing Gao He."
"Takahashi is dead, so what's impossible for this guy?"
That's true, Shui Ling thought. If they could take the opportunity to turn the surrounding cities into subsidiary cities, they should not be afraid of the forces behind these cities.
Although the Lower City does not have much power and it is impossible for it to surpass the Heavenly Monarch in terms of cultivation, the connections it has accumulated and the forces it has offended are added up.
"Isn't she afraid?"
"promise"
Bai Shui pursed his lips.
"what?"
"Let me show you, do you think she looks scared?"
"Um... no, it's too neat and tidy."
He killed that man without blinking an eye.
"That's right. As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. With such strength, they are even less afraid."
"And... have you forgotten? Those who aided us included not only people from Licheng, but also so many wild beasts..."
Having said this, Bai Shui stopped talking, and Shui Ling also understood.
The corners of her mouth twitched. That's right. If I can establish a good relationship with the wild beasts and use them as reinforcements, what am I afraid of?!
With the powerful backing of the wild beast, there seems to be nothing to be afraid of even if we offend it.
Shui Ling blinked her eyes. It seemed that a golden thigh had really come to her door for her to hug! !
On the other side, Keqing was killing so hard that she didn't even care about her own image.
The little coal ball standing by looked a little distressed.
[Master, please don't be sad! This is not your fault. It's all the fault of the city lord.]
Keqing sighed...
He looked at her without saying anything and continued to join in the killing.
Little Coal Ball was stunned. Why was his master still immersed in self-blame?
Or the system on the side flashed.
[Brother, the master is not immersed in sorrow, but is dispersing the fallen beasts' camp according to the established route.]
[Eh, is that so? ]
"Do you think I'm the kind of saint who likes to blame myself, is full of kindness, and can't stand the sight of death?"
Keqing didn't know what to say, so she picked up a sword and swept away a group of fallen beasts.
"When did you think of me like this?"
It is true that Keqing was very unhappy, but she had been prepared to see this scene from the beginning. She would be happy if she could be saved, and would be unhappy if she could not be saved, but she would not take all the responsibility on herself.
Because she knew that instead of wasting time and blaming herself for what had happened, it would be better to calm down and devote all her energy to saving those people she might save in the future, and take responsibility for those she had saved so far.
There will be many more things like this happening in the future, and she really doesn't have time to fall into self-blame one after another, which is useless and affects her efficiency.
That is the most useless emotion, and only cowards and incompetents would persist.
For her, it's not necessary at all.
She just needs to put aside unnecessary negative emotions, do what she wants to do, walk the path she wants to walk, do her best, and then she will have no regrets.
What's more, when encountering such a thing, improving efficiency and increasing speed are better solutions. This way, we can solve the problem further and reach the next city faster, isn't it?
There is no time for useless lamentations.
After all, she has always been a person who pays attention to efficiency.
Chapter 425: Red Moon Disappears (Part )
"You must be the Lord Mayor of Li City... Thank you for saving us!"
After killing almost all of them, Keqing came back and saw a large group of people kneeling in front of her. The leader was holding the city lord's seal and handing it to her.
"Well, do you want to go to Licheng?"
Keqing took the City Lord Seal expressionlessly and fed it to Li Xi.
"After we leave, this place will be impossible to defend. You have too few people."
"Besides, I'm afraid I'll have to take the source of the land here away. I'm afraid Gaodu will no longer exist in the future."
Keqing talked about her plan.
"May I?"
"Why not? I came here for you, not for a city lord and a dead city that is destined to decline."
Naturally, these people agreed and were very happy to go to Licheng.
After all, no matter how numb or painful one is, the living still have to live.
Keqing nodded. She was not surprised by their choice. In fact, even if they disagreed, she would still knock them out and take them away to let them calm down.
Of course, she won't care if you do something that threatens your life, but please don't act like this in front of her. After all, she has risked her life to save people, and if you end up dealing with someone who threatens their life, she will honestly feel very bad.
She couldn't help but wonder if her rescue was a bit hasty and not worth it.
Fortunately, it was all worth it. The desire to survive of the people in this world was stronger and more vigorous than she had imagined.
This is pretty good, and also quite deserted.
After all, if you want to survive in a continent like this, it would be hard if you are not strong.
There aren't many people left in Gaodu, and they won't take up much space on the flying boat. However, in order to prevent this kind of situation, Keqing has also prepared a flying boat specifically for transporting people. Everything is going as planned.
"Then, the next step is the source of the earth."
Moving the source of the earth, something that seems impossible to others, is actually possible for Keqing.
The earth veins are indeed difficult to move, because they are interconnected like a net rooted beneath the ground, and any move can affect the entire body.
However, the source of the earth is different. The source of the earth is when the earth veins are exhausted and only the core remains.
Naturally, there are no complicated veins, so it is not difficult to take it.
At least it is not a big problem for Keqing. After swallowing the city lord seal of Gaodu, Li Xi has the ability to control the source of Gaodu.
There is no doubt that Gaodu's earth source has also lost its power, but its vitality is still there. The little golden dragon on the glass seal first rubbed Keqing's fingers, and then leaped into the ground.
Run underground and move the source of the earth.
The system also sent out some signal detections to see how it moved. The golden dragon swung its tail, and the tip of its tail seduced, and something underneath was instinctively attracted little by little, just like fishing, and it caught it in one go.
