In the Yunshan Sword Sect, she had very few opportunities for actual combat, or even none at all.
And now, for the first time, fighting against this man-eating evil creature at Lu Hongling's request, she actually found an unprecedented pleasure.
Or is she a practitioner born for combat?
Anyway, the long-waisted giant was so scared after seeing the other party's kind face that he retreated in a hurry. However, the wounds on his body had made his ability to move weaker and weaker.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao rushing over, the tall-waisted giant suddenly stretched out his hand, broke his own neck, and fell to the ground.
After seeing this scene, even Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
What is this operation, suicide?
There is a famous saying in the Tang Dynasty: "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated." Could it be that this giant also has integrity?
But I clearly didn't insult the other person, so why did he commit suicide?
The naive Gu Xiaoxiao was not stupid. After seeing this strange scene, she became cautious instead.
In front of her, the exaggerated horse face had lost all life, and the entire head had rotated half a circle, looking like it was hanging on the neck.
Gu Xiaoxiao was sure that the other person's neck was indeed broken.
But she still held the sword, holding her breath and slowly approaching the other party, without being careless.
This long horse face was half the length of a person, and its expressionless eyes were exaggeratedly large, looking very scary in the hazy moonlight.
Gu Xiaoxiao had long disliked these eyes, so she frowned and stabbed the sword into the opponent's huge left eye.
The long-waisted giant's left eye suddenly shattered, and a string of disgusting mucus flowed out, looking like a piece of broken glass.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao confirmed that the other party was indeed dead, and couldn't help but walk back.
When she returned to the previous place, she found that Lu Hongling had almost packed up her things.
Then the other party handed her a wine jug and said, "Two sips left."
Gu Xiaoxiao was extremely tired and thirsty. After drinking all the wine, she quickly took a few gulps of water before she breathed a sigh of relief.
It was not until now that Gu Xiaoxiao realized that her whole body was sore, her steps were weak, and she even had symptoms of nausea and retching, which she had not noticed just now.
It can be seen that she was very involved in the battle just now and entered a state of oblivion of herself and the world.
Lu Hongling sighed and said, "You were still deceived by it."
At this time, the long-waisted giant who had been "dead" suddenly climbed up, dragged his wounded body down the mountain, and soon disappeared into the night.
Gu Xiaoxiao was bewildered and didn't understand what was going on.
Lu Hongling explained, "This giant has a special ability. It can put itself in a state of suspended animation for half a cup of tea. Once the suspended animation is over, it will wake up again. Its only fatal point is the temple. If you don't pierce its temple, it will die unless you chop its head off directly."
Gu Xiaoxiao looked surprised and said, "Isn't this thing too sinister?"
Lu Hongling shrugged and said, "Based on my observation, it was almost killed by you."
"Ah! Master, what do you mean? Why are you cursing at me?" Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and followed him angrily.
Lu Hongling’s meaning was very clear, Gu Xiaoxiao was much more sinister than this tall-waisted giant.
In fact, it was almost like that. Gu Xiaoxiao's skill in climbing around trees and fighting back was simply natural, and she was extremely sneaky.
When they passed the place where they had just seen the tall-waisted giant for the first time, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and looked towards the sloping crevice in the mountain. She said in surprise, "Master, there seems to be someone inside."
Lu Hongling didn't look over here and said, "It has nothing to do with you or me. Since the long-waisted giant has already escaped, she won't be in any danger. We still have to hurry on."
Gu Xiaoxiao originally wanted to say, "Should we send her to a safe place?", but after hearing Lu Hongling's cold tone, she could only sigh and follow.
Above and below the gap, Zhu Qiaoqiao and Gu Xiaoxiao looked at each other for a moment, and then they found that Gu Xiaoxiao had left.
Zhu Qiaoqiao was not aware of the situation outside. She only knew that the tall-waisted giant seemed to have been driven away by two women, one big and one small, and she was lucky enough to have saved her life.
The quick-witted Zhu Qiaoqiao naturally knew that these two people were quite capable, and that the danger would be much less if she followed them, so she struggled to climb up.
But she soon discovered an embarrassing thing, that is, she was stuck here.
She had been suffering from hunger and cold during this period, but the weight on her chest did not go away. She tried to struggle to get out, but it caused a sharp pain in her bones, and the pain made her break out in a cold sweat.
Zhu Qiaoqiao looked at the gloomy sky, and a look of despair flashed across her eyes.
She wants to live and doesn't need anyone else's help!
Gu Xiaoxiao followed behind Lu Hongling, feeling a little depressed.
It was obvious that she was very confused about Lu Hongling's decision just now.
Gu Xiaoxiao, who had just completed a beautiful battle, was still immersed in her dream of being a heroine, thinking that it was her duty to save an innocent passerby at this time.
Lu Hongling didn't look back and said calmly, "What you need to learn is not only how to fight and how to escape, but also how to be cold-hearted. If I'm in danger and you can't save me, you must not save me. This is a skill you must learn."
Chapter 20: Strange Things in Town
That night, Gu Xiaoxiao seriously injured a long-waisted giant, and then heard the word "cold heart" from Lu Hongling for the first time.
Lu Hongling didn't say anything else after that, and Gu Xiaoxiao could only taste the meaning from it herself.
Obviously, if you want to become a "world traveler", speaking out against injustice is not the main indicator, it may even be a negative indicator.
Because the mission of a world traveler is to explore the unknown. If you get involved in everything, you will only die quickly. What's the point of exploring?
At midnight, a few dark clouds floated in the sky, covering the already dim half of the moon.
Gu Xiaoxiao followed Lu Hongling down the mountain, and gradually saw the vague outline of a town at the foot of the mountain.
Gu Xiaoxiao was quite happy thinking that she didn't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight.
The small town at the foot of the mountain didn't look big. There was a little firelight in the town, which made Gu Xiaoxiao feel a little warm.
After that battle, all she wanted was a good night's sleep.
This battle simply opened the door to a new world for Gu Xiaoxiao.
This was the first time that Gu Xiaoxiao personally practiced the meaning of cultivation, which was to be able to fight against these things in the darkness.
For example, she believed that she had saved the girl in the crevice of the mountain.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao only thought that Zhu Qiaoqiao was saved because she drove away the long-waisted giant, and she had no idea that the other party was still stuck there because her breasts were too big.
Zhu Qiaoqiao was full of MMP in her heart, while Gu Xiaoxiao was full of happiness in her heart.
This should be considered her first time to fight demons and help the weak, right?
The town’s earthen walls were a bit high, which surprised Lu Hongling a little, but she didn’t take it to heart.
After all, there are tall-waisted giants here, and building the wall higher is also to defend against these things.
The town gate was closed at this time and no one answered, so Gu Xiaoxiao and Lu Hongling naturally chose to climb over the wall and enter.
The town was quieter than expected. The doors of every household were closed and no lights were on.
Gu Xiaoxiao and Lu Hongling walked among them and thought that the people in this town went to bed very early. There was not even a single house with candles lit near the gate.
The two men walked in the dark on the muddy street and gradually discovered flashes of fire in the center of the town.
The closer Lu Hongling got to the center of town, the more she felt something was wrong.
It's too quiet. A town should have some chickens and dogs around, but now there is no sound at all.
After Lu Hongling signaled to Gu Xiaoxiao with her eyes, the two of them immediately used their light body skills and came to a higher roof.
Standing here, the scene of the cross square in the center of the town suddenly fell into the eyes of the two people, and Gu Xiaoxiao almost screamed.
She covered her mouth, her pupils slightly contracted, and she looked very frightened.
I saw a circle of black figures like bamboo poles surrounding the square.
The shortest of these figures was at least two meters tall, and the tallest was nearly three meters tall. They were exactly the same long-waisted giants they had encountered before.
After watching this scene, even Lu Hongling was a little surprised.
Since the fall of the ancient Rong Kingdom, these already rare giants have been forced into exile.
Because they had been surrounded and attacked, the number of surviving long-waisted giants became fewer and fewer, until later on, they even changed their living habits, from being active during the day and hiding at night to hiding during the day and being active at night, specifically targeting some scattered passers-by and moving in a secretive manner.
In Lu Hongling's impression, although this kind of giant likes to eat people, its style is still insidious and cautious, and it rarely attacks towns.
Because once you attack a town and are discovered by the local garrison or practitioners, you are likely to be surrounded and captured.
And now, these long-waisted giants are gathering in towns to "make trouble", which is simply unheard of.
What was even more bizarre was that these long-waisted giants were half-bent over like hunchbacks, staring at the center of the platform, not knowing what they were looking at.
The houses in the town here were too low, and the tall giants were too tall, so they blocked the two people's view, so that Gu Xiaoxiao and Lu Hongling could not see the specific situation on the stage.
At Lu Hongling's signal, the two of them stepped on the roof and moved forward, landing silently like two cats walking lightly.
Soon, the two were only a few feet away from the nearest tall-waisted giant, and those cautious tall-waisted giants still did not notice their presence.
It is understandable that Lu Hongling was not discovered because of her high cultivation level, but it is somewhat unreasonable that Gu Xiaoxiao was not discovered at this time because her cultivation level was only at the third level of concentration.
However, since they were not discovered, Lu Hongling and Gu Xiaoxiao were naturally happier and could not help but look at the platform through the gap between the two tall-waisted giants.
A blazing fire was burning on the platform, with a large vat placed on top of the fire.
The jar looked dark blue, and its surface was covered with dense textures that looked like the wrinkles on an old man's skin, which was a bit disgusting.
What is even more shocking is that there are many skeletons placed around the tripod.
Human skeleton.
These skeletons appear to be placed randomly, yet they appear to have a sense of order.
These people must have been eaten by these long-waisted giants and ended up like this.
This gave Gu Xiaoxiao an illusion that these long-waisted giants ate people in the same way as she ate chickens, and they might even fry them first.
More than fifty long-waisted giants, more than fifty bamboo-like bodies, and more than fifty pairs of frighteningly large eyes were all silently staring at the cauldron, as if they wanted to see it to pieces.
After a few breaths, Gu Xiaoxiao almost screamed, but Lu Hongling covered her mouth in time.
At this time, the long-waisted giant whose eyeball had been poked out by Gu Xiaoxiao appeared under the platform.
Not only did it have only one eye left, but it also lost both hands and legs, and was crawling there covered in blood.
Without its limbs, it looked like a wriggling snake, moving from under the platform to the top.
Along the way, the stairs were stained with blood, which was very eye-catching.
Then not long after, the long-waisted giant climbed onto the platform and began to spin around the black vat like a snake, covered in blood.
There was no expression on its face, no pain, no anger. It was like a puppet with its soul taken away, and it only knew how to revolve around the dark blue vat.
Just after it circled the vat six times, a tall-waisted giant stood up with a huge axe in his hand and chopped it down suddenly.
The long-waisted giant lying on the ground was quickly "cut in half" and cut into several pieces, but its body was still wriggling and rotating, as if the cutting had no effect on it.
After seeing this scene, Gu Xiaoxiao felt a chill on her back.
At this moment, a very strange sound suddenly rang out all around, as if the wooden fish in the temple was being struck monotonously, but it formed some strange language that humans could not understand.
Are these giants chanting scriptures?
At this moment, the long-waisted giant who was cut in half suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Gu Xiaoxiao.
Almost at the same time, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but have an illusion that not only the one-eyed, long-waisted giant was looking at her, but also the jar.
That dark blue vat is alive?! ! !
(PS: I can’t write anymore, I’m too sleepy, I’ll update four times tomorrow.)
Chapter 21 This Master is a Little Weird (First Update)
At this moment, the strange voices of the tall-waisted giants around them stopped abruptly, and they all turned their heads to look at Lu Hongling and Gu Xiaoxiao.
The dark earth, the swaying flames, the blue vat, and the pairs of frighteningly bright eyes formed an exceptionally terrifying picture.
Gu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her hair stood on end, but what frightened her the most was the jar.
The large green vat was being roasted on the fire. Its color did not change at all and it still looked dead, but Gu Xiaoxiao could feel that it was alive.
It was as if beneath those wrinkled textures, there were countless pairs of sinister eyes, staring at him.
This moment of distraction made Gu Xiaoxiao forget to act.
At this moment, the texture on the surface of the green vat began to wriggle, looking like the facial expression of an old man struggling at the moment before death.
