Three days later in the evening, a snow-white owl flew around the small town of Xiata, more than 300 kilometers west of Eskil City, and then flew towards the hills northeast of the town.
The owl was very fast. In a short while, it left the town for more than 20 kilometers. Finally, it flapped its wings and flew into the woods, landing on a man's outstretched arm.
The owl is intelligent, but it cannot be compared with people. Therefore, it cannot communicate with people in the same way as humans. Even at this moment, the way it communicates with Zhang Tie is to simply flap its wings. Come and tell Zhang Tie everything he saw.
This is what Zhang Tie taught it. If there is someone in front of it, the owl will raise its left wing when it comes back. If it sees a building, it will raise its right wing. And like this moment, the obedient owl flapped its two wings. The way it flapped continuously could only mean one thing.
There are a lot of people in front and a lot of buildings…
This is the information Zhang Tie got from this owl.
"Go on, take a rest and find something to eat. Come back in the evening!" Zhang Tie raised his hand and the owl flew away.
After letting the owl go, Zhang Tie took out the pioneer map and compass he carried with him and looked at the map seriously.
"No need to look, there is the small town of Xiata ahead. When we get here, we have entered the southern area of the ice and snow wasteland. Going west from here is the Hydra Glacier fissure!" The man who was captured by Zhang Tie for three days wore a The masked woman spoke, her tone as cold as ever.
Zhang Tie put away the pioneer map and compass, looked at the woman and scratched his head, "That Seton won't leave you alone, right? Why has there been no news for three days? I've been watching you stay the whole way. There are a lot of road signs and marks. He can’t find them!”
At this time, Zhang Tie was also scratching his head. The purpose of his coming here was the Giant Wolf Seven Power Fruit, not to bring this strange woman here for sightseeing. In the past few days, the way this woman looked at him always made him... There was a feeling like being caught by a neighbor's aunt in Black Flame City and running out of the house without unzipping her pants. This felt a little bad, but Zhang Tie didn't know where the bad reason came from.
Perhaps, this woman has been too well-behaved these days, a little too well-behaved. Zhang Tie instinctively felt that something was wrong.
To Zhang Tie. The woman wearing the mask just snorted under the mask and said nothing else.
Because it was still a little early, Zhang Tie took the woman to the west for more than 40 kilometers. After the sky turned completely dark, he finally found a suitable foothold on a hillside.
Take this woman with you. You can't go to Chata Town. After all, it's very close to Eskil City. It can already be regarded as the sphere of influence of Eskil City. No matter what she wears on her face or around her neck, this woman is too eye-catching. If someone recognizes her and captures a bounty hunter, she will be in big trouble.
Moreover, there are gradually more and more people here, and they have just walked less than twenty miles. Zhang Tie has almost encountered several groups of pioneers.
Although some time had passed, Zhang Tie found that there was still an endless stream of pioneers coming to Xiata Town, and almost all of them were heading towards the cracks of the Hydra Glacier. I wonder if there are any new discoveries in the city ruins over there.
Zhang Tie stood on the hillside and looked at the vast wilderness in the distance with no horizon visible for a long time before finally turning his head and said, "Let's spend the night here tonight!"
…
Dinner was roasted potatoes. When he was in the wild yesterday, Zhang Tie found some wild potatoes, so he dug some and took them with him as today's food.
In a place like the ice and snow wasteland, potatoes, a highly adaptable crop, are one of the staple foods here. In addition to potatoes, another kind of food here is cold-resistant wheat, which is grown around many villages. Two things.
The sky was getting dark, and the burning fire turned Zhang Tie's face into bright and dark, constantly shaking.
The woman saw a stream and a pool behind the rocks over there, and insisted on taking a bath, so Zhang Tie let the woman take a bath. Of course, even if she wanted to take a bath, the restraining collar was still on the woman. , it doesn’t affect her actions anyway.
Roasting potatoes is a slow job. It can only be heated slowly under the ashes of the fire. Without half an hour, the potatoes will not be roasted well. Zhang Tie was thinking about his own things while roasting the potatoes.
If everything goes well and the nine Giant Wolf Seven Power Fruits are gathered together, Zhang Tie is going to go back to Black Flame City to see Barry, Doug, the guys, and the girls from the Rose Club. If they are willing, He would pick them up with their families and take them to Jinwubao first. As for where to go in the future, they would be free to choose. The holy war is imminent, and the entire Weiyi subcontinent is in chaos. A place like Black Flame City is really not a place to stay for a long time.
For the girls in the Rose Club, Zhang Tie never gave them anything except the gift when he left Black Flame City. Although the things at that time were a bit ridiculous and nonsense, he was completely tadpole in his head. , having so much fun that he didn’t care about anything, but for those girls, Zhang Tie always had a trace of inexplicable apology and concern in his heart. No matter what, he is their first man.
Thinking of Black Flame City, Zhang Tie couldn't help but think of Teacher Dinah. I don't know why, but this time when he thought of Teacher Dinah, what was left in Zhang Tie's heart the most was just deep nostalgia, and there was no longer the complexity of the past. Love thoughts and pink dreams.
Zhang Tie knew that when he grew up, he finally walked away from Teacher Dinah, and what made him grow up was another woman with blue eyes. In that woman, he completed the most ridiculous thing Dream.
The woman knew that she already knew that it was her, and she also knew that the woman already knew, but both of them pretended not to know anything and treated the matter as a secret. This was the most interesting thing.
Mrs. Olina's face was like a mist, and like a fire, it loomed in Zhang Tie's mind.
Anyway, it's urgent. It's still the Giant Wolf Seven Power Fruit, but if that guy Seton never showed up, would he really have to organize a wilderness tour group with that woman? At this time, Zhang Tiecai felt that that woman was really an ancestor. She could not be killed, beaten, or thrown away. He had to serve and feed her every day.
As the saying goes, time goes by and a person's heart is revealed. Maybe he really can't be too cruel to women, given his evil appearance. She only acted in front of this woman for less than two days before she was completely seen through. As a result, this woman became more and more courageous. Like today, she actually dared to ask herself to take a shower. She was alone and alone. In the wild. What does it mean that a woman is still a prisoner of that man. This is simply contempt.
"Damn it. Why is Eskil City's work efficiency so low? Isn't it just to cancel a wanted order? Why is there no news yet? It shouldn't be!" Zhang Tie muttered to himself somewhat depressedly, and then, with The twig in his hand turned the potatoes under the fire.
at this time. He heard an angry yell in the distance, "Go away...", and the voice belonged to that woman. Zhang Tie didn't even think about it, and rushed over with the two short spears beside him.
When I rushed to the other side of the creek. Zhang Tie saw three men dressed as pioneers. They were laughing and laughing next to a stone next to the creek. The woman's clothes were piled on the stone. One of the pioneers even touched the woman obscenely. He picked up a piece of black underwear, put it to his nose and smelled it, "It smells so good!" After saying this, the three of them burst out laughing.
The woman was drowning in the creek, and the water had just covered the woman's neck. Zhang Tie didn't know if the three guys just saw the woman's appearance. Anyway, when Zhang Tie rushed over, the woman's face had already been put on again. Put on her mask.
The woman's body was trembling in the water. Based on Zhang Tie's understanding of the woman, he certainly knew that it was not fear, but anger.
"You three, each of you slap yourself twice, and then you can get out!" As soon as he rushed here and saw the situation clearly, Zhang Tie already knew what happened. These three pioneers happened to be passing by. Here, maybe you heard the sound of water flowing and wanted to find some water to drink, but you saw this scene.
These three pioneers are all in their thirties or forties. At first glance, they are the kind of people who don't do well among the pioneers. Although the three guys are a little rude and vulgar, in this case, because Accidentally seeing others taking a shower would be a crime not punishable by death, so Zhang Tie planned to spare the lives of these guys.
The woman understood the meaning of Zhang Tie's words. Although she was in the water, she still stared at Zhang Tie angrily.
Zhang Tie's idea is good, but things in this world don't always go according to one person's wishes.
The three people were slightly startled when Zhang Tie ran over and took a defensive posture. But after the three people saw Zhang Tie's current appearance clearly, the three people looked at each other and laughed. Zi relaxed.
Zhang Tie looks like he is now, that is, when he is sixteen or seventeen years old. A ring of fine hair has just grown on his lips, which is not even a beard. In such a wilderness, Zhang Tie is now If I can describe this picture in one word, it’s tender! Very tender! According to some common sense, young people are usually not very strong.
"Boy, you really know how to enjoy it. You can take a woman to this deserted place to have fun. Well, your boy has tender skin and tender flesh, and he has quite a strong taste. You are actually willing to give her such a charming beauty. Put on a restraining collar?" A tall guy among the three pioneers took a step toward Zhang Tie, pointed at Zhang Tie with a finger, and said contemptuously.
"Poladi, I guess this guy is a young master from a rich family who comes out with a maid for excitement! These little brats from rich families are tired of playing with women. They just like to be different. I heard that these guys just like Women play rabbits, cats, dogs and the like in front of them..." A pioneer next to him was talking while squinting his eyes to look at Zhang Tie's body with a strange light in his eyes.
"What rabbit, Ali, that's a bunny girl. The ordinary ones only cost ten silver coins, and the better ones cost twenty silver coins. You can do whatever you want them to do. I saw them last time in the hotel in Cody City. It's a pity that at that time We don’t have much money, so we didn’t expect us to be lucky today…” Another guy smiled.
The three guys exchanged a look. They laughed sinisterly together, one of the guys winked, and the other two guys slowly dispersed, already forming a surrounding posture, fearing that Zhang Tie would run away.
After hearing these words, Zhang Tie was fine, but the woman who had been squatting in the water was shaking with anger. Zhang Tie seemed to feel the fire-breathing eyes under the woman's mask.
Judging from the looks of these people, it is difficult to resolve this matter today. Pioneers are a profession with mixed good and bad. There are people like Sam and Gerry who Zhang Tie met on the Aurora who can be friends, and of course there are also some garbage and miscellaneous things, such as the three in front of him. At this time, he saw himself here alone with a woman, It's obvious that he has bad intentions. The existence of such a fellow among the pioneers was one of the reasons why the pioneers had a bad reputation in the minds of some. In some people's eyes. The so-called pioneers are a collection of bandits, thieves and refugees. In some countries and cities in the Hawaiian subcontinent, pioneers are completely prohibited from entering...
Zhang Tie shook his head and slowly walked towards the tallest pioneer with a short spear. Since you are looking for me, you can't blame me.
"Boy, if you know what's going on, then be obedient..."
That person just finished speaking. The short spear in Zhang Tie's hand had been thrust into his mouth and penetrated through the back of his head.
Zhang Tie's movements were crisp and quick, as fast as lightning. When Zhang Tie pulled out the short spear from the man's mouth, the man's body was still standing upright and did not fall down for a moment.
Seeing that the strongest one among the three of them could not hold on for even a second in the hands of this young man, the legs of the remaining two pioneers were frightened and they knew they had met a master. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away. The other one's legs gave way and he knelt on the ground...
The man who turned around and ran away had not taken five steps. Zhang Tie just took a leisurely step towards him and was behind the man in a flash. He stabbed the man with a short spear from the back of his head and pierced it from the front. The innermost part burst out.
After the second person's body fell forward, the first person's body just fell down.
Zhang Tie slowly came to the pioneer kneeling on the ground...
"Ah, spare me, spare me, I will never dare to do it again..." The man kowtowed like garlic, not even daring to raise his head. He was so frightened that tears and runny nose came out.
Standing in front of that person, Zhang Tie really hesitated for a moment, considering whether to destroy this cowardly guy and just let him get out of here.
The sound of water sounded behind him, followed by a rapid rustling sound. Zhang Tie did not look back. A figure exuding cold air walked behind Zhang Tie, picked up the weapon of one of the pioneers and walked over, slashing his head. When he got down, the head of the guy kneeling on the ground rolled off. Zhang Tie quickly took a step aside to avoid being splashed by the guy's blood.
With a clang, the masked woman dropped the knife in her hand, looked at Zhang Tie with eyes that were still burning, and squeezed out a few words through her teeth, "Not many of you men are good!"
Holy shit! Zhang Tie, who was innocently lying at gunpoint, rubbed his face helplessly. He had a conscience, he really didn't peek just now.
When leaving here, Zhang Tie looked back and saw that the woman's black underwear that had been touched by one of the pioneers had been thrown into the stream by the woman and she was no longer wearing it. In addition, there are only three corpses here. Judging from the appearance of those guys, the belongings on them are as high as the sky, which may only be a few gold coins. Zhang Tie has no intention of looking for trophies at all. He shook his head and said Just go back to where you made the fire.
The woman sat by the fire without saying a word. When she saw Zhang Tie coming over, the woman turned her head and looked at Zhang Tie with a slightly strange look.
"Why did you give those guys a chance in the first place and didn't kill them right away?"
"If they broke in accidentally, I don't think such a crime would kill them! It's not like you have to kill someone just by looking at you!" Zhang Tie said and walked away again. Going to where he was sitting just now, he inserted the short spear into the soil next to him with a hiss, and continued to roast potatoes.
"Whoever sees me naked, I will kill him!" the woman said coldly.
"What's interesting, but it's not big!" Zhang Tie muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" The woman's voice suddenly rose three octaves, and her whole body suddenly looked like a hedgehog with exploded fur.
Zhang Tie was also a little angry. He glared at the woman, "Damn it, I said you have a figure without a figure, a butt without a butt, and a groove without a groove. What's the point of looking at it? Those three guys are idiots. You were born without a body. With your butt naked, are you going to kill the doctor and the woman who delivered your baby, too?"
The woman gasped and stared at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie stared back without showing any signs of weakness. Zhang Tie was just thinking that this woman would explode and have another fight with him, but the woman slowly calmed down and spoke in a tone of voice. The coldness returned.
"Now, I kind of believe that those two wilderness bounty hunters will indeed not be killed by you!"
"It's good to know. If I didn't take the blame for some reason, I would be an idiot to want to be with a woman like you all day long!"
The woman wanted to get angry again, but after taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Tie found that the woman actually used a wooden stick to stir up the potatoes in the fire.
What's going on? Have you changed your gender? Zhang Tie was slightly surprised and suddenly became more alert...
…
In the second half of the night, a misty mist floated in the mountains and fields. Zhang Tie didn't pay attention at first, but when he realized something was wrong, Zhang Tie found that he couldn't move. Zhang Tie was horrified and struggled desperately. , only to find that the strange mist seemed to freeze his mental power. The woman sleeping next to the cave had stood beside him at some point. Next to the woman, there was another person, a man, with Long beard, but not Seton!
"Elder!" The woman lowered her head and said in a respectful voice.
"is it him?"
"Yes! This man is of some use. He is a beast master. He has also behaved well with me these days. I can spare his life first!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tie's head hurt, and then he didn't know anything else...
