This MC is so original

Candice sighed softly, seeming somewhat helpless. She pressed again, "Is it really impossible? Dozens of people in Aru Village are waiting for this life-saving water source. Even if you don't plan to help, I can always pay for it, right?"

"No way!" The leading mercenary said with a wicked smile: "But, it's not so absolute. As long as you..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Dixia suddenly appeared from the side and punched him in the face.

The mercenary screamed and crashed into the crowd of onlookers, knocking down a group of people.

Dixia rubbed her fists unhappily and said coldly: "I have saved your lives now. As a price, hand over what she wants."

The mercenary who got punched covered his nose and roared angrily, "Bullshit! You punched me and now you dare to say you saved us?!"

Dixia just glanced at Candice who was a little surprised to see her appear. These people still don’t understand!

If Candice took action, it would not just be a broken nose.

"Brothers, these people dared to attack me. Capture them quickly and send them to the Ordinance House. We'll claim they're wanted criminals and claim they're worth a reward!"

The mercenaries around drew their knives and were about to rush forward to subdue Dixia when Lu Xiu and others came over.

"What happened? Dishia."

The mercenaries thought it was Dixia's helper and were ready to capture him together, but when they turned around, they saw Seno in the crowd, and their legs immediately went weak and they knelt down.

"Sai, Lord Saino?!"

Chapter 263: Encountering Skirmishers Again

This sudden scene made everyone stunned for a moment, and Tinari even teased: "Seno, your reputation is still as bad as ever."

"Compared to this, what I'm more concerned about is, hasn't the news of me helping you spread yet?"

Seno couldn't help but feel confused. After all, he helped Tinari and others who were wanted by Azar, which was already considered a betrayal. There was no reason for the House of Lords not to target him.

"The only possibility is that the Magistrates' Court hasn't yet announced this news. After all, as a high-ranking official, if you defect, it could affect their plans."

Lu Xiu immediately figured out the key, but now was not the time to worry about it.

"Let's quickly resolve the situation here."

Lu Xiu reminded Seno that he wanted to go to the interior of the desert as soon as possible.

Seno nodded, then immediately put on his usual office-like expression and said to these people, "I heard everything just now. Miss Candice was just expressing her reasonable demands. Please satisfy them as soon as possible. Regarding your rude remarks just now, the disciplinary officer will come to deal with it later. Do you understand?"

Despite what Seno said, the mercenaries still looked embarrassed.

The mercenary who was punched by Dixia covered his nose and said aggrievedly, "Lord Seno, it's not that we don't want to support Aru Village, but a while ago the Ministry of Justice sent people to dam the river here, saying it was for important purposes, and they also sent heavy troops to guard it, so we can't do anything about it."

"Heavily guarded? Is the Council of Justice crazy?" Dixia frowned. The rivers in the desert are already scarce, and the water sources that can be used for drinking are pitifully few. Now the Council of Justice has blocked them.

This completely disregards the lives of the people in the desert!

Aren’t the people in the House of Decrees really worried that the people of the desert will riot?

Dixia wanted to question these people a few more times, but Elhaisen spoke up, "They don't look like they're lying. Although they are the representatives of the Order in the desert, they actually have very little power. I'm afraid they really can't make the decision on this matter."

"Instead of wasting time with them here, why not go directly to the problem site and check it out."

Elhaisen's suggestion was quickly recognized by everyone, and even Candice was there to persuade Dishia.

"Dixia, your companions are right. It's just a waste of time here. It's better to go back to Aru Village first."

"Tsk, alright!"

Dixia kicked the mercenary away again, and then left with everyone else.

On the way to Aru Village, Candice also gave a brief self-introduction to everyone and briefly told everyone about the current situation of Aru Village.

"If it's just a lack of water, I can help."

When Lu Xiu heard Candice say that Aru Village was short of water, he offered to help. Candice looked at Lu Xiu with some surprise and thanked him gratefully, "Thank you, sir. With your help, Aru Village should be able to recover for a while, but the other villages... well..."

After they had been walking in the desert for a while, Aru Village gradually appeared in front of them.

This slightly run-down village, perhaps because the houses are all built with mud bricks, looks very desolate, but you can still see many villagers in the village. It's just that their current condition looks very bad, obviously caused by long-term water shortage.

As soon as they arrived at Aru Village, Lu Xiu immediately took out four buckets of water from his backpack and handed them to Dixia.

"Pour these four buckets of water back into the original river, and the water shortage problem in Aru Village will be solved."

Although Dixia didn't understand why Lu Xiu claimed that he could solve the water shortage problem in Aru Village with only four buckets of water, out of trust in Lu Xiu, she still took Candice to the dried-up river.

Yandora volunteered, saying that she knew what to do, and went along.

Cole and Nashida were also curious and went over to help.

Lu Xiu and several men stayed where they were and had a brief discussion before deciding to go to the place where the river was dammed to check the situation.

After asking someone for directions in the village, Lu Xiu and his companions immediately headed towards the river diversion site.

When they arrived at the place where the river was dammed, they found that a simple hydropower plant had been built there.

"Even if they're using water flow to generate electricity, they can't completely block the flow. What is the Ministry of Education doing?"

While observing the situation at the power plant, Elhaisen raised his doubts.

Tinari pinched his chin and frowned. "Besides generating electricity, the most important thing about water is its abundant water element, right? Both are energy sources. It seems the Ministry of Justice is making some big moves."

Lu Xiu observed the power plant with a telescope and found that there was a huge pipe extending from the power plant. Although most of it was buried in the sand, he could still vaguely tell where it led to.

"Split into two groups. Elhaisen and Senor, you two hold official positions in the Ordinance, and your defection hasn't been publicized yet. Go to the power plant and see if you can get any leads. Tinari and I will follow this pipeline to see what's happening on the other side."

The other three had no objection, so they acted separately according to what Lu Xiu said.

Lu Xiu grabbed Tinari's arm and flew him into the sky.

Tinari looked at the ground gradually moving away and asked in surprise, "Lu Xiu, you can fly without relying on wind wings?"

"It's just a little skill. Before, it was difficult to lead a group of people to fly, so I didn't show it off. Now that there are only two of us, it's easier to use it."

Lu Xiu explained casually and took Tinari and flew in the direction of the pipeline.

After a while, Lu Xiu and the other man arrived above a canyon. The pipes on the ground extended into the canyon. Because of the obstruction of the rock wall, the two men could not see the situation inside clearly and could only fall down.

However, the outskirts of the canyon were guarded by Xumi soldiers, so in order not to alert the enemy, the two could only hide aside.

"Such a desolate place is actually heavily guarded?"

Just as Lu Xiu and Tinari were observing the situation outside the canyon, a very familiar figure walked into the canyon with a few people.

"Isn't that a skirmisher?"

Lu Xiu looked surprised, but soon his face turned happy.

Sanbing came to such a desolate place. Could it be that his plan to become a god is about to be realized?

Doesn’t that mean I’m closer to completing another system task?

"Come on, Tinari, let's go in and take a look."

Chapter 264 This is my escape route!

"How's the extraction of forbidden knowledge going?"

The Skirmisher asked a group of researchers who were surrounding a huge transparent glass pillar.

A researcher put down his pen and paper, turned around and replied, "Master Sanbing, this batch has been extracted and placed into a container of canned knowledge and secretly sent to Xumi City."

"very good!"

Sanbing was very satisfied with the progress, and it was worth it that he specifically told this place to Hazard.

This secret base was originally used by the doctor for research. A long time ago, the doctor accidentally discovered that these forbidden knowledge were leaking from the underground world tree. Although it was forbidden knowledge, the amount of leakage was still controllable, so he built a laboratory here.

Later, the doctor reached a cooperative relationship with him, and Sanbing learned the location of the secret base from the doctor.

Originally, Sanbing had no intention of making use of this place. After all, the forbidden knowledge was too dangerous. Even though he was very eager to become a god, it did not mean that he was willing to try any method.

But unfortunately, the plans he had made with Azar were disrupted by that damn Lu Xiu. Now he can only take the risk and choose to use forbidden knowledge to fill the gaps in his strength and knowledge.

Although forbidden knowledge is very dangerous, as long as he has enough, he no longer needs the Heart of the Grass God to become a god.

more importantly!

"As long as the forbidden knowledge is dangerous enough, there's no need to worry about that damn guy getting his eyes on it, hahaha!"

Sanbing's smug smile gradually became more and more rampant, but his laughter did not last long before a rapid alarm sounded in the laboratory.

This scared the soldiers, and they looked around in panic, especially staring at the gate at the entrance, fearing that someone would kick the steel door open in the next second.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement at the gate. The soldier finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the researcher who was checking and asked, "What went wrong?"

"Sir, it looks like there's a leak at pipeline number two. I'll immediately dispatch personnel to handle it!"

"No, I'll go and see for myself."

Since there was no invasion, the soldier felt relieved and turned to walk towards the laboratory where the No. 2 pipeline was located.

When he arrived at the door of Laboratory No. 2, he found that there was a noisy sound coming from inside, as if the researchers inside were shouting something.

The soldier immediately walked over with displeasure. He wanted to see which blind guy dared to interfere with his plan at this critical moment!

"What happened? Why are you making such a fuss here?"

As soon as the soldier walked in, he saw a very familiar figure turning his head to look at him and waving at him cordially.

"Hey, Guo Beng, I haven't seen you for a few days and your temper is still as bad as before."

“Lu, Lu Xiu?!”

When Sanbing saw Lu Xiu appear in his secret base, his eyes almost popped out, especially when he saw Lu Xiu standing in front of the pipeline for extracting forbidden knowledge, his blood pressure immediately rose.

"Lu Xiu, it's time to settle everything!"

In an instant, new and old grudges surged into his heart, and Sanbing rushed forward with an angry roar. This time, he directly used the evil eye he had stolen from the doctor to improve his combat effectiveness.

The scattered soldier rushed towards Lu Xiu with black and purple thunder all over his body. All the research equipment in his path burst into sparks and then became completely paralyzed.

"Lu Xiu, be careful!"

Tinari, who was guarding Lu Xiu, saw the skirmishers coming in full force, and immediately condensed the grass element and shot an arrow at the skirmishers.

"Poor, weak! You are so weak!"

The soldier casually grabbed the arrow shot by Tinari, and with a slight force of his palm, the arrow condensed from grass elements suddenly shattered into tiny points of light and dissipated into the air.

The skirmisher continued to move at the same speed and stretched out his hand towards Lu Xiu's heart.

However, when the soldier finished extending his hand, another hand was faster than his and stepped forward to hold his outstretched hand.

"Oh my, is Guo Beng so enthusiastic? He actually wants to shake my hand?"

Lu Xiu smiled and interlocked his fingers with Sanbing, then slowly tightened his fingers.

In an instant, the scattered soldiers felt an irresistible force coming at them. It felt like a piece of meat encountering a hydraulic press. They were unable to resist and could only watch as it was crushed by the horrible force of the hydraulic press.

Sizzle——

The soldier's palm was instantly crushed, and the mechanical parts inside could even be clearly seen through the cracks on his fingers.

Sanbing was horrified, and the only thing he was thankful for was that he was not as sensitive to pain as a mortal being. Otherwise, the pain of Lu Xiu crushing his palm would have been enough to make him faint.

In just a few seconds of handshake, Sanbing immediately judged that even with the power of the evil eye, he was still no match for Lu Xiu.

Damn it, why is this guy so strong! Why does he have such terrifying power!

While Sanbing felt jealous, his mind was also racing as he thought about how to escape from Lu Xiu.

Soon, a plan of escape came into the mind of the skirmisher.

Once confirmed in his brain, the soldier's legs immediately moved, and he kicked towards Lu Xiu's vitals with incredible speed.

Lu Xiu kicked the soldier in the vitals almost as a conditioned reflex, and the palm of his hand that was pinched by him was torn apart, and the parts were scattered all over the ground.

The skirmisher was like a wolf flying all day long on the green grassland, quickly flying towards the horizon, but there was a smile on his face, even a little complacent.

"This is my escape route! Lu Xiu! See you in Xumi City. I'll have a big surprise ready for you!!!"

After saying that, the figure of the scattered soldier completely disappeared into the sky and turned into a star.
